Chapter 45 Taking Action
Lu Yanhe immediately stopped Li Pengfei.
"You think people will believe everything you post? Enough already." Lu Yanhe thought for a moment and sent Chen Siqi a message: Take a look at the school forum, I jinxed it.
Chen Siqi first sent a question mark, and a minute later, she sent ten kitchen knives.
Lu Yanhe: What are we going to do now? Rumors are actually starting to circulate.
Chen Siqi: This was all Liu Wei'an's doing. Don't worry about it. I'll get someone to take down the posts.
Lu Yanhe originally wanted to ask her how she planned to remove the post, but then he thought that she was a rich woman and could solve the problem by spending money, so he didn't ask.
The atmosphere in the class was a bit strange.
At noon, when everyone should be sitting together chatting, no one seemed to dare to speak loudly, and every now and then, questioning glances would fall on Lu Yanhe.
Clearly, what happened in the cafeteria at noon, as well as the posts on the school forum, had ignited the gossip spirits of these classmates.
Lu Yanhe had only received this kind of attention a handful of times in his life.
Including the original body.
At that time, he was originally destined to be eliminated in the first round as cannon fodder, but after the first episode aired, he suddenly became famous overnight. Everyone felt sympathy and pity for this boy from the countryside, who was poor and introverted. His fans spontaneously organized to vote for him and campaign for him.
At the time, the contestants all lived together, their phones were confiscated, and they couldn't contact the outside world. However, they could still glean some information from changes in the staff's attitudes. Lu Yanhe unexpectedly became popular, even becoming the most talked-about contestant after the show aired, without exception, which disrupted the show's initial plans. Capitalizing on the profits from Lu Yanhe's popularity, the show repeatedly advanced him, ultimately leading to his successful debut.
During that period, Lu Yanhe was often talked about by the other contestants in private, and was even somewhat ostracized by the group.
Lu Yanhe was hardly a likable person. He was terrible at singing and dancing, only managing to work hard in a rigid way, with mediocre results. He wasn't popular either; he was always alone, not close to anyone, and even during breaks from group rehearsals, he was always by himself. When others spoke to him, he stammered, as if everything he said was a struggle. Over time, no one wanted to talk to him anymore. Yet, this very person was incredibly popular; who wouldn't dislike him?
Lu Yanhe, recalling the feelings of being ostracized and disliked from the original owner's memories, subconsciously frowned.
Having all of the original owner's memories, he naturally knew why the original owner behaved that way.
Because of low self-esteem, fear, and guilt, and the fear of saying too much and making mistakes, I dare not interact with others and hope to exist like a ghost.
Lu Yanhe suddenly felt a sense of unspeakable sadness. He did not resent the contestants who ostracized him because of the original owner's memories. From an outsider's perspective, their reaction was actually quite normal. However, the sadness left by the attacks and alienation the original owner experienced three years ago also swept over him now.
If only I could have changed myself back then and become friends with them.
This obsession was strongly imprinted in his mind.
Lu Yanhe sighed.
"Why are you sighing? Are you worried that Teacher Liu will cause you trouble?" Li Pengfei said again.
This guy was sitting too close to him, and he would blurt out a sentence every now and then, leaving Lu Yanhe nowhere to hide.
Lu Yanhe snapped out of his daze and glanced at Li Pengfei.
Why are you so concerned about this?
"It's been so long since our class has had this much excitement, can't I even be a little interested?" Li Pengfei admitted his gossip-loving nature with a straight face. "No, bro, if you really have feelings for Chen Siqi, you should just take this opportunity to admit it. Do you think we live in a time when puppy love is forcibly broken up?"
Lu Yanhe was too lazy to waste words with Li Pengfei.
He didn't want to say another word.
"Okay, okay, I got it. You two have absolutely no affair, alright?" Li Pengfei was overjoyed. "It's such a small matter, what's there to worry about? Let others suspect you two are dating."
"It will be very troublesome."
"What's the problem?"
“All sorts of trouble.” Just as Lu Yanhe finished speaking, Luo Zicheng walked in.
Luo Zicheng entered with a smug smile, his eyes immediately fixed on Lu Yanhe. He was arrogant and haughty, like a young general returning victorious from a battle. However, he lacked that kind of aura. Rather than youthful heroism, he seemed more like someone who held his nose up, making him appear somewhat roguish.
"Look, trouble's brewing," Lu Yanhe whispered to Li Pengfei.
When Li Pengfei saw Luo Zicheng, the mocking smile on his face vanished instantly.
"Sigh," Li Pengfei said speechlessly, "How can there be such an annoying person?"
Luo Zicheng walked up to Lu Yanhe and asked, "Lu Yanhe, when did you get together with Chen Siqi? Nobody in our class knows. Are you keeping it a secret because you're afraid we'll steal Chen Siqi from you? Haha, we're not like you. Don't worry, nobody's going to steal her from you. I heard that Chen Siqi has a terrible temper and doesn't talk to anyone. We're not going to bother with her."
Lu Yanhe glanced at him and said, "I'm in a bad mood right now. I advise you not to provoke me."
"Oh, what? How did I provoke you? Honestly, I'm just telling you what everyone's saying. Don't you want to hear it?" Luo Zicheng completely ignored Lu Yanhe's warning. He was still smiling smugly, one hand in his pocket. In Lu Yanhe's eyes, he was a typical idiot. "To be honest, if you hadn't become an artist, wouldn't you just be a poor phoenix from a remote mountain village? Do you know what people online are saying about you now? A phoenix man. Now that you're washed up, you're going to pick up the old rice bowl of phoenix men from your remote mountain village and beg for food again?"
Lu Yanhe took a deep breath. Suddenly, a figure flashed past his eyes. Before he could react, Li Pengfei had already punched Luo Zicheng in the face.
Luo Zicheng let out a loud scream, covering his eyes in agony.
Li Pengfei shook his fist and looked at Luo Zicheng with disdain.
"Your mouth really stinks. Stop howling and go complain to your parents! Let me tell you, your Uncle Li just can't stand your attitude today. I'm going to ask your parents how they taught you to speak properly." After saying that, Li Pengfei spat at him viciously.
Those unaware of the details, upon only seeing the footage, would likely think Li Pengfei was a bully who harassed his classmates, while Luo Zicheng was the victim.
