“Go to hell, Gu Ci. Of all people to date, you chose to date Lu Zhiyuan!”

“Gu Ci, I curse your ancestors for eighteen generations. You really broke his defense. He might not be able to win this year’s championship.”

“Gu Ci: Are you in a relationship? The kind that quarreled with you the day before your race, the kind that wanted you dead!”

“I had a good impression of her, but it’s all gone. Stay away from Gu Ci. Otherwise, you’ll be unlucky.”

Gu Ci looked at the vicious curses with a calm expression, but her fingers could not help but tighten their grip on her phone.

Zhou Jinjin was filled with indignation. This group of poisonous people was really terrifying. Was the keyboard warrior not legally responsible? When will the account name system be implemented? Let’s see if this group of idiots still dare!

Her alternate account had already fought hundreds of rounds with the poison fans. Moreover, her main account had also said that Gu Ci was accompanying her to watch the competition. Many of her fans were Lu Zhiyuan’s fans, so she was told not to take sides.

“Cici, don’t be sad. Don’t care about what they say.”

Gu Ci previewed the comments. “It’s okay. Whatever they say won’t hurt me.”

“Unless Lu Zhiyuan continues to win the championship. As soon as he makes a mistake, his fans will pester you.” Zhou Jinjin said, “Whose eyes are so sharp? You’re clearly covered up, yet you can still recognize you.”

No matter who was in a relationship with Lu Zhiyuan, they would be stained with blood and be attacked. Gu Ci was already mentally prepared. In her previous life, she had been in prison for a few years and suffered a lot. Lu Zhiyuan was worried that public opinion would hurt her, so he directly retired and even canceled his account. He lived in seclusion and did not want to cause any harm to her.

It was too late to remove the trending searches.

Li Jiang and Jiang Junlin were both retreating, but they couldn’t stop the fans from going crazy. Lu Zhiyuan had as many female fans as male fans. All the people in the country who were fans of racing were his fans.

This kind of traffic was too terrifying.

Dynasty’s official Weibo account was flooded again. Gu Ci’s entry trended until midnight before it slowly sank. None of the parties involved responded. Gu Ci played the violin on the balcony for two hours.

Jiang Junlin minimized the heat of this matter. “Cici, don’t go out too much these few days.”

“I know, brother.” Gu Ci knew her limits. “I was just reading.”

“Why didn’t Lu Zhiyuan say anything?”

Gu Ci said, “Brother, if there’s no response, the popularity of this matter will drop. No matter how he replies, it’s all wrong. We’re not in a relationship. If he admits it, the fans will mock me. If he says that he’s in a relationship and protects me, I’ll also be attacked by the masses. It was the same left and right, so there was no need to respond.”

“If you’re not in a relationship, why are you holding hands?” Jiang Junlin saw the video clearly and clasped his fingers together, why was he still denying it?

Gu Ci looked at her watch with a subtle expression. Jiang Junlin didn’t ask further, afraid that he would hurt Gu Ci. He hung up after giving a few instructions. He instructed the special assistant, “Lower Gu Ci’s trending searches to the last.”

“Understood.”

“Wait…” Jiang Junlin thought about it, but he still felt that it was not safe enough. “Go to the entertainment reporters and buy some information. If there’s any big news recently, expose it all.”

The special assistant thought to himself, Director Jiang, this move is too mean. You’re really a crazy demon who dotes on his sister.

“Yes, sir!”

The next morning, the topic of whether or not Gu Ci and Lu Zhiyuan were in a relationship died down. There was no concrete evidence or explanation, so the popularity had already dropped. Three big news broke out in the entertainment industry. The movie queen Guan Chuyuc was secretly married and had a child. She was still trying to create the image of a single lady. A certain popular young actor had a relationship with his fans and was in a mess. Many girlfriends came out to hammer him. Another actor who had been hyped up by the entertainment industry was fined 1.6 billion yuan for tax evasion. He rushed to the hot search, and the entire Internet was watching.

Among these three fans, the Best Actor and the Best Actress had been a couple before, but they had broken up. The fans were all fans of the same family. The massacre in the square was called a bloody storm. The fans of the popular fans were also emo, stepping back on their fans and so on. It was very lively.

“Cici, you’re lucky. They saved your life.”

The entire internet was enjoying itself. Even Zhou Jinjin was enjoying himself. Lu Zhiyuan didn’t say anything, and Gu Ci didn’t do anything. Their popularity went down.

Gu Ci smiled. Ziyu didn’t know about this. He was busy with training, work, writing his thesis, and reading the project report given to him by the PhD supervisor. He was so busy that he couldn’t split himself up. Last night, the technical team of the United Nations caught a spy. He worked until late at night and slept until ten o’clock. Gu Ci’s popularity had already disappeared. He was surfing Social networks and didn’t like to read gossip.

Lu Zhiyuan didn’t have time to come down and eat with Gu Ci these few days. There were two racing events in Haicheng, so he took the motorcade to Haicheng and wasn’t home for a few days.

Gu Ci collected herself and studied. School was about to start, and she had already taught herself half of the first-year courses. After Lu Zhiyuan landed in Haicheng, he sent her a message.

Lu Zhiyuan, “Who said that he wouldn’t miss every game?”

Gu Ci replied, “You’re at the center of the storm. I’m going to watch your competition?”

Lu Zhiyuan, “Why not?”

Gu Ci, “Okay, I’ll buy the plane tickets. Wait for me.”

Lu Zhiyuan, “Forget it. The event is only for two days. Don’t run around. Remember to watch the live broadcast.”

Gu Ci smiled. She would definitely watch the live broadcast.

Lu Zhiyuan’s race in Haicheng was very successful. The atmosphere was very lively. The Dynasty team was still the most eye-catching existence. Several racers performed very well.

Lu Zhiyuan asked Gu Ci the moment the competition ended, “Did you watch the live broadcast?”

“I saw it. You’re especially handsome today.” Gu Ci had already learned how to say sweet nothings, and the effect was pretty good. Lu Zhiyuan enjoyed it. “What are you doing?”

“I’m reading a medical book.” Gu Ci said, “And playing the violin when I get tired.”

Lu Zhiyuan wanted to install a surveillance camera in Gu Ci’s room so that he could see what she was doing twenty-four hours a day, but he only dared to think about it.

She wasn’t good at small talk, but she could easily start a conversation with Lu Zhiyuan. She could talk about Gu Ziyu sleeping in, what he had for lunch, what interesting things he had, and so on. She could talk about trivial things for a long time. Lu Zhiyuan would reply to everything else except for when it came to Gu Ziyu. He just wasn’t interested in him.

He was very busy, so he hung up the phone after chatting for a while. Gu Ci continued to study. In the evening, an interview pushed Lu Zhiyuan and Gu Ci to the hot search again. After the race ended, there was a banquet that night.

Lu Zhiyuan also attended. It was originally a private banquet, but the reporters somehow snuck in and danced in front of Lu Zhiyuan.

“You got into an accident in Lavis because you were distracted by Gu Ci’s argument. Is the rumor true?”

“Your fans are all concerned if you’re dating Gu Ci.”

Li Jiang observed Lu Zhiyuan’s expression and knew that Lu Zhiyuan was annoyed by the reporters. He hurriedly went to stop him, but who knew that this reporter would be so bold? “Lu Zhiyuan, silence means consent. You and Gu Ci are in a relationship!”

Lu Zhiyuan looked coldly at the arrogant reporter. His voice was as cold as ice. “I’m single. I’m not in a relationship.”

After so many days, this was the first time he had directly responded to the scandal between him and Gu Ci. In an instant, Gu Ci was pushed into the limelight again. His fans mocked Gu Ci, saying that Lu Zhiyuan didn’t like her and that she had been clinging to him. They scolded her even more harshly than the rumors about their relationship..
