Chapter 186: His Identity Has Been Revealed Again

Two months later.

The recording of "Chasing the Stars" has finally come to an end, and Bian Ji finally has time to focus on making his own music.

After he had a little free time, Lu Yinzhao was so busy that he was nowhere to be seen all day.

School is about to start, but Lu Yinzhao is still out taking photos for people every day.

During this period, Lu Yinzhao completely transformed into a workaholic, working with boundless energy every day.

In just two months, he has collaborated with eight more celebrities in the industry, none of whom are minor figures.

In addition, all the promises made to his elder brother and the others were kept.

After the photos were completed, they posted them on Weibo that same day to show them off.

Lu Qi is still quite active online, but Lu Xun and Lu Yuan really don't do much online promotion these days.

The sudden release of so many photos not only caused fans to gather and scream again, but also surprised some passersby who happened to come across them.

I've been a fan of Ro-yeon since my student days, and after all these years, how come he's still so handsome?

[A top star is a top star, there's no comparison, that face is so authoritative.]

[How can you tell my brother is over 30?]

Is this some kind of "buy 30 get 10 off" deal? This is incredibly cool! I'm going to make this my screensaver and my wallpaper!

[Lu Xun posted photos too! He looks handsome!]

[Lu Qi and Lu Cheng also posted it, you guys should go check it out!]

[Wait, did they go to a photography studio as a group to have their photos taken? Hahaha!]

[Wait! Wait! My goddess Yin Song posted photos too, hahaha! She posted one of herself, and one of her with Director Lu.]

[Hilarious! Director Lu doesn't have a Weibo account, otherwise he'd definitely post 18 photos of himself and his wife.]

So, is today a good day to post photos?

It feels like their company's team-building activity.

People online were discussing it heatedly, but Lu Yinzhao remained silent.

"Why are my parents joining in this? And my brother and his family... why do they all want to post today?"

Lu Yinzhao was sitting in Bian Ji's office editing photos when he saw what was happening online, and he was speechless.

Bian Ji pondered for a few seconds, then said calmly, "They don't want to hide anymore either?"

"What?" Lu Yinzhao was still in a daze.

He quickly realized something.

When I refreshed the comments on Weibo, sure enough, people had started discussing him.

[Didn't you guys notice that the shooting style of these photos is very similar to that of Teacher L?]

[Of course I noticed. Teacher L is now collaborating with many celebrities in the industry, so it's quite reasonable for him to film for Lu Xun and the others.]

[There was a time when I never imagined that the photography blogger I followed would one day collaborate with an actor I admire. Thinking about it now, it still feels like a dream.]

[Um... I've noticed something I haven't covered. Teacher L, it seems, also has the surname Lu.]

【…………】

Lu Yinzhao forced a smile at Bian Ji with a bitter expression.

"Will my last identity... also be exposed?"

Bian Ji shook his head. "We can still cover it up for now."

"Huh? But netizens are almost there!"

"That's not what I meant. I meant your last identity."

Lu Yinzhao was full of questions, unable to think straight with Bian Ji for the first time.

Bian Ji chuckled and gently flicked the tip of his nose. "What's our relationship now? Have you forgotten?"

Lu Yinzhao's heart skipped a beat, and he finally realized what Bian Ji meant by "the last identity disguise".

He is the youngest son of the Lu family, that's right.

He's Bian Ji's boyfriend too!

Lu Yinzhao's eyes welled up with tears; he was almost out of secrets...

Sure enough, within two hours, a veteran entertainment gossip account dug up Lu Yinzhao's past.

The old book account, named "The Sun Shines Brightly," which had long since stopped updating, was unearthed.

It also contains videos of Lu Yinzhao eating during his childhood, as well as various lifestyle vlogs.

Lu Yuan's first slow-paced lifestyle variety show, which he recorded in his early years, has also been re-uploaded online in high-definition.

Overnight, Zhao Zhao, a "little internet celebrity" from more than ten years ago, resurfaced and was remembered by the public, allowing young people today to learn that such a variety show had actually aired back then.

[Just got off work and saw a bunch of old memes. Can someone explain what kind of gossip is going on today?]

[It's not some gossip, it's just that photographer Lu Yinzhao who's been really popular lately. He's actually the youngest son of the Lu family. I only just found out. Teacher L was already famous when he was three years old.]

Stop talking, stop talking! I still find it all quite surreal. It's all in the real world, but I feel like the dimensional barrier has been broken.

[Ah! It's Zhao Zhao! I used to watch that variety show! I was only 20 years old then, and now my second child is the same age as Zhao Zhao was back then, hahaha!]

[It's such a long-lost memory! I haven't paid attention to the entertainment industry for ages, but seeing the adorable Xiao Zhaozhao today made me download Weibo again!]

So, was Teacher L really this cute when she was little? I really want to eat her!

[This is so cute! I thought he'd become a food critic or a mukbang influencer, but he turned out to be such an amazing photographer! Our Zhaozhao is so talented!]

[Back then, Auntie would chase after Zhao Bao to kiss her, and now that Zhao Zhao is all grown up, Auntie still kisses her!]

[What do you think Teacher L is feeling right now? He'd better not go online for the next few days.]

[Exactly! Leave him some privacy, okay? Be careful, or Teacher L might wake up and see everyone watching him drinking milk from a bottle, and then he'll just shut up.]

[Teacher L: So you've temporarily closed my eyes. (The sky is falling.)]

The next morning, Lu Yinzhao, with her hair all messy, stared at her phone for a full ten minutes.

He then simply turned off his phone, tossed it aside, and went back to sleep.

School is about to start, and now that this has happened, he wishes the start of school could be extended indefinitely.

What will his classmates think of him then?

They wouldn't just use his childhood memes as a foil and unleash a major attack, would they?

Help!

Just thinking about it makes my toes clench.

From this day forward, his identity as the young master of the Lu family is now completely public knowledge.

*

At the beginning of the first semester of her sophomore year, Lu Yinzhao secretly returned to her dormitory on a dark and windy night.

But as soon as I entered, I was surrounded by my three roommates.

"Welcome back to the country, Young Master Lu!" the three said in unison.

"Stop acting crazy!" Lu Yinzhao was so angry she laughed.

"Lu Yinzhao, Lu Yinzhao, I knew you came from an extraordinary family, but I never imagined you were this extraordinary." Song Shuye chuckled strangely, sending chills down Lu Yinzhao's spine.

"..." He said helplessly, "You didn't ask any questions in detail. I can't keep talking about my family all the time."

Jiang Yi said, "You said before that someone in your family is a singer or actor, but I didn't expect you to have so many older brothers and sisters, including your parents, who are all celebrities!"

"I have so many older brothers and sisters, what can I do?" Lu Yinzhao pouted.

He was born the youngest, and he could never become the eldest.

Xu Zishi said, "That's not the point! I've said before that Xiao Lu is our biggest connection in the entertainment industry, so... Xiao Lu, could you ask me for your sister's autograph? I'm a big fan of her dramas, they're amazing! Her acting is superb!"

Lu Yinzhao smiled and said, "My second sister would be happy to hear what you said. Okay, if I run into her, I'll get her autograph for you."

"Me too! Me too! I'm a huge fan of Clear! Please, I really want C-God's autographed photo!" Song Shuye loves playing games.

Everyone who plays PGW knows Lu Cheng.

“Xiao Lu, I love watching your older brother’s movies. I’ve seen every single one of his movies. Could you…” Jiang Yi rubbed his hands together.

"Alright, alright, I know! It's just autographed photos, right? I'll give them to you all, I'll give them all to you! I'm sleepy, I'm going to wash up and go to bed, I have class tomorrow."

Lu Yinzhao waved his hand, signaling them to step back.

The three of them looked like eunuchs in an ancient palace.

He patted his pants and made a move to kneel down on one knee.

"Yes, sir!"

"..."

"Young master, would you like us to bring you some hot water to wash your feet?"

"One more thing, the autographed photos are gone."

The three of them then quickly ran away and went back to their respective beds.

Lu Yinzhao shook his head with amusement and walked silently into the bathroom.

Then, on the first day of formal classes, Lu Yinzhao was once again surrounded by her classmates.

Not only students from their class, but also students from other majors came to join in the fun.

He'd be fine with asking his roommate for an autographed photo, but if too many people asked, he definitely wouldn't allow it.

Lu Yinzhao sincerely declined everyone's offers and expressed his wish that he could attend classes as usual and that everyone focus on their own majors.

The students in his class had known Lu Yinzhao for a year and understood what kind of person he was.

Someone spoke up: "Stop crowding around. Can't you see how difficult it is for him? Everyone should be more considerate and stop bothering Lu Yinzhao. He's not anyone's tool."

"That's right, and Xiaolu himself is really amazing, okay? We're already much luckier than others to be classmates with him. We have to protect Xiaolu and not let him be bullied on campus."

"I agree. There are all sorts of people out there these days. It wouldn't be good if someone went crazy and injured Lu Yinzhao."

"Lu Yinzhao, from now on, everyone in our class will be your bodyguards. If you want to go to the cafeteria, we'll clear the way for you."

"Yeah, we're here to protect you, and we also want to take this opportunity to learn some photography skills from you. I've already finished my first year of college, but I'm still a novice."

Lu Yinzhao suddenly became a "national treasure" in the class.

He thanked everyone and nodded, then continued, "No problem. If it's just a simple learning exchange, I will try my best to answer everyone's questions. After all, I am still in the process of learning and exploring myself. Let's learn from each other and make progress together."

"Great!" Everyone was overjoyed.

They felt even more that Lu Yinzhao had no airs at all.

They see many celebrity offspring online who are pretentious and disdainful of associating with people from ordinary families like them, but they don't see any of that in Lu Yinzhao.

Lu Yinzhao takes her major very seriously, and when she talks to her classmates, she looks them in the eye and doesn't act arrogantly or disrespectfully.

Lu Yinzhao's experience is indeed worth learning from, and they are really fortunate to be in the same class as him.

Lu Yinzhao thanked his classmates for their understanding, saying that he could actually understand their feelings.

If he were one of those classmates, and there was a relative of his idol in his class, he wouldn't be able to resist asking for an autograph out of curiosity.

Fortunately, everyone was reasonable, which prevented the class from descending into chaos.

As long as your message has been conveyed, that's good.

I don't know who in the class posted it on the school forum, but the tone was just like the official account of those celebrity studios, solemnly declaring that no one is allowed to disturb Lu Yinzhao's normal life.

Over time, the enthusiastic alumni gradually calmed down.

If they see Lu Yinzhao on the street, they will at most give him a polite smile, but they will not go up to him to say anything or block his way.

Lu Yinzhao thought with satisfaction that the students at Huaxing were of very high quality.

However, in the alumni groups and campus posts that Lu Yinzhao was unaware of, these "high-quality" students were having a fierce battle using [Zhaozhao emojis].

When he takes out the "Zhao Zhao's Cute Three-in-One" picture, she will then release the "Zhao Zhao Riding a Little Car Around" picture.

They all became obsessed and lost in the past, unable to extricate themselves from the once-popular old-fashioned emoji packs.

The students politely thought that since they couldn't be disturbed offline, they would just enjoy their own little world online.
