The banquet was still in full swing.
Bai Ruxue, whose dress had been spilled with red wine, was furious. Although her family background was ordinary, she had grown up in the pampering of her parents and those around her. When she participated in the talent show, she stood out from hundreds of contestants with her good looks, accumulating several million fans. She was the Snow Princess in the eyes of her fans.
This was the first time she had ever been treated this way.
After returning from the restroom, Bai Ruxue went back to her seat. Beside her was Huang Ying, the female team member who had just mocked her. Huang Ying noticed Bai Ruxue's dress at a glance and picked up her wine glass, leaning closer to Bai Ruxue. "Did someone get revenge on you?"
Bai Ruxue, whose sore spot had been hit, gritted her teeth fiercely. If it weren't for the many journalists at the guest seats, she would have loved to splash wine in Huang Ying's face.
"Looks like I hit the mark," Huang Ying laughed. "Serves you right. Did you really think you were a goddess, and every man would fall at your feet?"
Usually, Bai Ruxue, with her good looks, not only flirted with advertisers and directors everywhere but also often mocked other team members who were less famous than her. Perhaps she was used to being flattered, and Bai Ruxue truly believed she was a heartthrob.
Who knows where she got her confidence to seduce the young master of the Lu Family? Now, everyone on the internet knows that the Su Heiress and the young master of the Lu Family are in a romantic relationship.
Bai Ruxue smiled on her face, but the anger in her eyes was about to burst out. She pressed her voice and coldly mocked, "No matter what, at least the young master of the Lu Family has seen me and remembered me."
She didn't care about the means as long as they were effective.
Huang Ying was shocked by the other's shamelessness and couldn't help but roll her eyes, not saying anything more.
Bai Ruxue was fuming inside. She looked down at her beautiful gown stained with a large blotch and wished she could splash a bottle of wine back at Su Ci. Didn't she just rely on her family's wealth to be so arrogant?
Bai Ruxue's gaze darkened. She picked up her phone and took a photo of the wine stain on her dress, then logged into her account and posted a message: "Feeling so sad, my beautiful little dress got dirty."
With the girl group being popular and Bai Ruxue having twice the number of fans as the other team members combined, her message had just been posted when fans immediately rushed to leave comments.
"Has Snow been bullied?"
"What happened? How did the dress get dirty? The stain looks like red wine?"
"Who's so mean? Dirtying Snow's dress."
"Ah, Snow's dress is a high-end custom from the Xia Family, speechless, who dirtied it?"
"Snow suddenly posting a message must mean she's very unhappy. If my pretty dress got dirty, I'd be furious."
"Snow Princess's dress can't be dirty? Hugging the little princess, I'll help you scold the bad guys."
...
Fans were heartbroken and comforted Bai Ruxue, with some even trying to figure out who had dirtied her dress that night.
Since the team members followed each other, Huang Ying received a reminder message as soon as Bai Ruxue posted her update.
She glanced at Bai Ruxue, who was busy reading fan comments, and genuinely felt that if it weren't for her good looks, Bai Ruxue, with her brain, wouldn't have been able to debut.
Huang Ying sneered, thinking of something, and took out her phone, logging into a small account.
Soon, under Bai Ruxue's comments, someone revealed that the red wine on Bai Ruxue's dress had been splashed by the Su Heiress, and Bai Ruxue had offended the Su Heiress.
As for the reason, no one knew, but that didn't stop fans from feeling sorry for their idol.
"Is the Su Heiress the one with a prominent family background, Su Ci? Why did she show up again?"
"Does being rich make you better? Can you bully people at will? Su Ci, get out!"
"Do you have evidence? Why did the Su Heiress suddenly target Snow?"
"I'll stay neutral. Every time someone curses the Su Heiress, they end up being proven wrong."
"Protect Snow Princess. Being rich isn't everything. We fans will always support the little princess."
"Without evidence, don't spread rumors. Be careful the Su Heiress sends a lawyer's letter."
"Snow must have been bullied, otherwise, she wouldn't have suddenly posted such a message. She's just a small star, how could she dare to fight with a rich heiress? She can only swallow her anger. Heartbreaking."
"Mommy hugs the little princess. There are too many bad people outside. Come to mommy's arms."
"That Su Heiress is bullying our little princess. Disgusting. Does being rich make you better?"
...
Bai Ruxue hadn't expected someone to dig up that Su Ci had splashed wine on her. She didn't respond at all, letting her fans curse Su Ci. After all, it wasn't her who leaked the information, and what the netizens said was the truth. Even if Su Ci found out, she couldn't do anything to her.
In the room, Su Ci's phone rang. It was her older brother, Su ZhiYuan, calling. The banquet had already ended.
Su Ci's legs were weak, and she asked her brother to leave first. She wasn't going back.
Only the warm yellow bedside lamp was on in the room. The girl's snow-white feet stretched out from the white blanket, with a clumsy little rabbit hanging on one side, looking very obedient.
Su Ci was completely exhausted, her fair little face flushed, her dark eyes moist, and her small teardrop mole alluring.
She angrily opened her mouth and bit down on Lu Zhe's chest.
However, his muscles were firm, and she couldn't bite down at all. Moreover, Lu Zhe had sweated a lot earlier, and her tongue was filled with the salty taste of his sweat.
Su Ci spat disdainfully and pitifully accused Lu Zhe, "It was said there would only be one time."
She initially only intended to dance for Lu Zhe, and this time she truly didn't mean to seduce him. However, Lu Zhe seemed to have been stimulated by something, and he was like someone who had been injected with hormones, exhausting her to the limit.
Now her waist and legs seem to be useless.
Beside him, under the warm yellow light, Lu Zhe's cold features softened a bit as he held the girl tightly, his fingertips greedily rubbing against her smooth back.
Hearing the girl's complaint, he chuckled softly, "Indeed, it was only once."
However, the time is longer than it has ever been before.
He is like a greedy beast, savoring his food bit by bit.
Thinking about how the girl was teased to the point of tears just now, Lu Zhe lowered his head and kissed the red corners of her eyes, gently coaxing her: "I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself earlier."
Upon hearing this, Su Ci let out a light snort.
In the past, no matter how she tempted him, Lu Zhe was always able to maintain control, even turning a blind eye to her beauty.
However, after the first time, Lu Zhe had changed. He no longer needed her to tease him; just a glance was enough for Lu Zhe to lose control.
Such extreme intimacy has never been experienced before, or it can still be controlled, but once it is experienced, it becomes impossible to suppress.
Su Ci felt a tickling sensation in her waist as Lu Zhe's hand brushed against it. She tried to move away, but her body pressed even closer to him. Amusement sparkled in her watery eyes as she lazily glanced at him. "Don't pinch my waist; it tickles," she said.
The skin beneath the palm is delicate and smooth, the girl's slender waist soft, completely different from the man's firm and rough touch. Lu Zhe turned over, his handsome face tinged with desire under the light. "Tuan Tuan, can we do it again?"
Su Ci is very willful, "Not good."
Lu Zhe gently brushed his calloused fingers against her waist, causing the girl to tremble again. He whispered enticingly, "Do you want to be on top?"
Suci's black-and-white eyes sparkled.
Above?
She has not tried it yet.
Lu Zhe knew the girl's personality very well. He lowered his head, leaned close to her ear, and his clear, melodious voice was extremely pleasant, "It's up to you to take the lead."
Suci's eyes shone brighter; each time it was Lu Zhe in control, and she could only be forced to endure. She also wanted to see how difficult it was for him to hold back.
Lu Zhe gently kissed the tip of her ear and said, "Tuan Tuan, would you like to give it a try?"
Under the lights, Su Ci had a hesitant expression and said, "I need you to support me, I'm out of strength."
Lu Zhe let out a light laugh and said, "Hmm."
Lu Zhe supported her slender waist, easily shifting their positions.
Suci looked down at him from above for the first time, feeling extremely pleased with herself.
When she woke up the next day, it was already noon, and Su Ci was awakened by hunger.
She glanced to her side, but Lu Zhe's figure was no longer there.
She lazily turned over, picked up her phone, and received quite a few messages. Among them was one from Shen Xue, telling her to check the trending searches online.
Su Ci then realized that she had once again made it to the trending topics, and this time it was because she was being criticized again.
She felt that no matter whether she entered the entertainment industry or not, she would still be the kind of person who was both famous and notorious. On the trending topics, there was news about her using her family background to bully the popular actress Bai Ruxue, and below the news, there were endless curses from Bai Ruxue's fans.
Su Ci searched for Bai Ruxue and realized that she was the actress whom she had splashed wine on.
The top three trending topics were about this actress, clearly using her for publicity stunts.
Su Ci flipped over with her phone in hand, directly lying on the pillow. She logged into her account and uploaded the video she had obtained from the hotel manager last night, adding the caption: "You deliberately splashed wine on my boyfriend, and I returned the favor. Fair and square."
As soon as Su Ci's message was posted, the netizens who were following the gossip immediately rushed over.
"After watching the video, I just want to say, that Bai Ruxue deserved to be splashed with wine. She was trying to seduce Young Master Lu, wasn't she?"
"Hahahaha, there are actually people who use deliberately bumping into someone as a way to hit on them. I'm so embarrassed that my scalp is tingling."
"She deserved to be splashed. I was wondering why Su Heiress suddenly became so aggressive. It turns out someone did something disgusting."
"Splashing wine is mild. If someone tried to seduce my boyfriend, I'd splash sulfuric acid on her."
"Does Bai Ruxue have any shame? Young Master Lu is Su Ci's boyfriend. How dare she try to be a homewrecker?"
"She accidentally bumped into him. Can't you see clearly? Our Xiaoxue was wearing high heels with thin stilts. She said she's not used to wearing such high heels. Is it a crime to lose balance for a moment?"
"Are you Bai Ruxue's fans? Don't try to whitewash this. Even the blind can see she deliberately bumped into Young Master Lu."
"Young Master Lu and Su Heiress are just boyfriend and girlfriend, not married yet. Doesn't everyone have the right to pursue someone? Besides, Xiaoxue and Young Master Lu look really good together."
"Are the trolls here? Being a homewrecker and feeling proud about it? They may not be married, but does that mean you can steal someone's boyfriend? I wish your boyfriend gets stolen by a homewrecker every day."
"Do Bai Ruxue's fans have eyes? Su Heiress outshines your idol in every aspect. Forget about family background, just look at their appearances. Su Ci is a hundred times prettier than Bai Ruxue. What makes you think she's a match for Young Master Lu?"
"Does Bai Ruxue have any shame? She's even trying to incite her fans to attack Su Ci."
"Luckily, I didn't take sides. As expected, there's a twist. Bai Ruxue, who was so eager to be a homewrecker, shouldn't she be banned?"
...
Su Ci scrolled through the comments when a hand reached over and took her phone.
She looked up and saw Lu Zhe standing by the bed. "Aren't you hungry? Get up and eat first." He glanced at the girl's phone and put it aside.
Su Ci turned around and reached out to him, asking to be picked up. "I have no strength. I can't stand up."
However, Su Ci forgot that she wasn't wearing any clothes. As she reached out, the blanket slipped, revealing a large expanse of fair skin.
Lu Zhe's thin lips pressed together, and his eyes darkened.
He picked up the clothes he had prepared for the girl and helped her dress.
Su Ci felt a bit disdainful. The sweater was pink, the jacket was pink, and even the socks he had prepared were pink. Although it was a light cherry blossom pink, it felt too childish.
She looked at Lu Zhe, who was seriously helping her put on her socks, and teased him, "Are you trying to raise me like a daughter?"
Lu Zhe's grip on her ankle tightened. He glanced at her with a dark look and then leaned in to bite her mischievous lips. "Little troublemaker, what do you think?"
A slight sting on her lips made Su Ci let out a soft hum, not daring to argue.
Last night, she had suffered quite a bit. She had thought she would be in control, but she found it even more exhausting and not at all exciting.
No, Lu Zhe must have found it exciting; otherwise, he wouldn't have reacted so intensely, almost driving her to exhaustion.
After helping the girl dress, Lu Zhe even took the ribbon he had prepared and tied her hair up. Although his technique wasn't great, Su Ci's high beauty managed to pull off the slightly crooked ponytail.
The lunch was sumptuous, all of Su Ci's favorites.
She was too lazy to lift a hand and let Lu Zhe feed her.
At the film set, Bai Ruxue was initially in a good mood because she had made it to the trending topics. But in the blink of an eye, a large number of netizens flooded her account to curse her.
"That Su Ci is insane. Did she hire trolls to smear me?" Bai Ruxue panicked. She hadn't expected Su Ci to have the video from the scene.
Next to her, Huang Ying saw Bai Ruxue's panic and resentment and couldn't help but speak up, "Do you think everyone is like you, with their morals twisted? Does the Su Heiress need to hire trolls? Anyone with eyes can see what you did. Who else should they curse but you?"
Bai Ruxue glared fiercely at her. "Whose side are you on? Don't forget, we're in the same group."
Huang Ying glared back. "Did you just realize we're in the same group? Because of you, we're also being questioned by fans."
At that moment, the manager hurried over.
"Sister Ya, how should we handle this?" Bai Ruxue quickly sought help from the manager.
In the team, the manager had always favored Bai Ruxue the most, as she believed Bai Ruxue had the most fans and the brightest future. Little did she know, Bai Ruxue was a brainless fool.
Instead of soothing Bai Ruxue as she usually did, the manager replied coldly, "Handle? The company has already dealt with you."
Bai Ruxue's heart sank. "What do you mean?"
News then broke online that Bai Ruxue had been banned for offending Su Ci.
"My god, does Su Heiress have the power to cover the sky with one hand?"
"Support Su Heiress. Bai Ruxue's character is flawed. She doesn't deserve to be an idol."
“Idol misconduct, wrong moral compass. She indeed should be banned. Otherwise, how would it affect younger fans?”
"Su Ci is too ruthless. Offend her, and you get banned."
Wow, I just started eating melon this morning, and now I see Bai Ruxue being banned?
"My god, so ruthless. Having a powerful background is indeed different. Who would dare to offend Su Ci now?"
If it were me, with money and power, anyone who tried to steal my boyfriend would be dealt with severely. Support Su Ci, she's so dominating!
"Banned is too much. It's not like she succeeded in seducing him. Maybe Bai Ruxue really fell?"
“Su Ci's move is clever. Kill the chicken to warn the monkey. Who would dare to compete with her for Young Master Lu?”
...
Su Ci learned that Bai Ruxue had been banned and was a bit confused. This wasn't something she had done. Could it be her parents? Or her older brother?
Just as she was about to call her family, she came across a comment. The user's nickname was: Su Ci's Man.
The comment read: "I did it."
Su Ci blinked and, for some reason, clicked on the user's profile. The avatar was a white rabbit, and there was only one tweet. The following: 1, the fans: 0.
The person she followed was Su Ci.
Su Ci looked up and turned to look at Lu Zhe, who was sitting behind her. She handed him the phone, "This person is so shameless. He dares to call himself my man."
Lu Zhe glanced at the avatar. Beneath his short black hair, his ear tips rarely turned red. "It's me."
Su Ci's black eyes widened. She had only slightly suspected it but thought it might be a coincidence.
Hearing Lu Zhe admit that the account was his, Su Ci felt proud. "Why didn't you tell me you had Bai Ruxue banned?"
"Mmm."
Su Ci directly leaned into Lu Zhe's arms and rewarded him with a kiss on the lips. "How can you be so cute!"
She adored him to death. Lu Zhe's actions always spoke louder than words.
She leaned against him and retweeted his comment: "Thank you [sending a heart]."
Su Ci's account didn't follow anyone, but now she only followed Lu Zhe.
As soon as she retweeted, the netizens saw it.
"Su Ci's Man? Hahahaha, I must be blind, so this is Young Master Lu? What a straightforward name!"
"My head is about to fall off. The heir of the Lu Family actually has 0 fans? Wait, he has one fan, Su Ci.
"Shut up, you guys. Does Young Master Lu have no dignity? Don't say it. I'm going to follow him right now."
"Me too. Young Master Lu, please post more handsome photos in the future."
"Is it a fake account? How pitiful. I have over a hundred fans, but Young Master Lu only has one, and it's Su Ci. Rounding it up, he has no fans."
"I just got slapped in the face again. Who said Bai Ruxue was banned by Su Ci? It was Young Master Lu who did it to protect Su Ci."
"Am I the only one focusing on the fact that Bai Ruxue wasn't banned by Su Ci?"
"Woohoo, the plot twists and turns, and in the end, it's just feeding me dog food."
“Did you see that? This is what happens to people like Bai Ruxue who try to seduce Young Master Lu. Young Master Lu is personally protecting his girlfriend.”
“You two are made for each other. Lock them in!”
“I came here to see some drama, but why am I being fed dog food instead?”
“With Young Master Lu personally stepping in, I doubt anyone will dare to mess with him again.”
“Who would still dare to flirt with Young Master Lu? He’s already taken care of the trouble himself. He’s really protective of his wife.”
......
Everyone was busy swooning over the couple, constantly switching between Su Ci and Lu Zhe’s social media accounts. Perhaps out of sympathy for Lu Zhe’s relatively small number of followers, everyone started following him. In less than an hour, he gained over half a million followers, and the number was still rapidly increasing.
As for Bai Ruxue being blacklisted, the internet had already moved on. All people could remember was that you absolutely shouldn’t try to seduce Lu Zhe. Otherwise, even if Su Ci didn’t act, he would personally handle the situation.
He was devoted to Su Ci but ruthless to others.
Su Ci lazily leaned against Lu Zhe’s chest, scrolling through comments. Previously, she enjoyed reading comments praising her looks, but now she preferred those that gushed about her and Lu Zhe’s fairy-tale romance.
Many other netizens had also sent her private messages.
Su Ci slowly clicked on one.
The next second, she opened a particularly long message:
“Su Ci, I’m your fan. I’m a high school student.”
“Ever since I first saw you on the trending page, I’ve been a huge fan. You’re exactly the person I dream of becoming. Beautiful, wealthy, confident, brave… Every time you’re attacked by others, you handle it so well.”
“Some say you’re arrogant, but someone like you should be confident and proud, living under the sun. I really like you and want to become like you. Every time I see your news, I feel so inspired, hoping to fight back like you do.”
“But I know it’s impossible.”
“Right now, I’m just too tired. I just want to close my eyes. Maybe next life, I can be as dazzling as you…”
Su Ci felt a pang in her heart as she read the last part. She glanced at the timestamp and saw that the message had been sent seven minutes ago.
She quickly clicked into the sender’s account and saw their latest post: “I hope I can be a dazzling person in my next life.”
Below the message was a picture of a knife.
Su Ci’s eyebrows furrowed as she looked at it.
She turned around and handed her phone to Lu Zhe. “Can you find her address?”
