The Twelfth Day Without Divorce — I’m not deserving (2)

Liang Yan swallowed. She wanted to tell herself that it was because she had become popular, but she knew that it was likely not because her popularity soared, so something big must have happened. With trembling hands, she clicked on the comments section of the post she sent out three hours ago.

[Liang Yan, was it really you?]

[Liang Yan, it’s not you, right? Lu Lincheng and you were just a couple-in-name only, right?]

[Liang Yan, if you dare to move Lu Lincheng, I will hack you for the rest of your life!]

[Liang Yan, come out and explain clearly!]

[Liang Yan, I’m begging you to get your paws off our Lu Lincheng. If I get angry, I’ll put you on my hit list. I’m begging you.]

......

Liang Yan read through the comments of thousands of fans in the comments section area, feeling hurt.

It seemed to be related to Lu Lincheng?

Liang Yan opened the Weibo homepage, and she didn’t need to search for Lu Lincheng. She read, “Lu Lincheng’s scratches,” on the trending spot with the word “hot” representing its explosive popularity.

Liang Yan read a post on the hot search. The first post was by an entertainment account. The post: “Surprise! This afternoon, the crew of “Dark Night Walk” live streamed the set, and the fans found suspected ambiguous traces of scratch marks on Lu Lincheng’s body, driving fans into endless reverie.”

Liang Yan almost choked on her own saliva.

Below was a screenshot of the live broadcast of the “Dark Night Walk” crew in the afternoon. There was a video of Lu Lincheng wearing a black down jacket sitting in front of the dressing table facing the mirror.

He looked up slightly to greet the fans like his usual aloof personality. Then a makeup artist approached to fix his look and straighten out the jacket, taking a look from top to bottom. The fans with their sharp eyes noticed the red marks hiding below his collarbone.

Immediately, the fans took a screenshot of the particular scene and were shocked to realize that the marks looked like scratches, making the fans clamor.

[What’s the fuss all about? Can’t people not be bitten by mosquitoes and scratch themselves?]

[The temperature in Gudong City has been 10 degrees recently, can you go and try to find mosquitoes?]

[I don’t care about his private life, only about work. Some people can’t be popular and not catch a rumor.]

[Would it be better to buy more movie tickets than do this? Save the effort and money.]

At that time, the issue wasn’t that big of a deal until Liang Yan posted a selfie and the location was at Gudong City Airport.

The fans and melon-eating passerbys went crazy.

[Oh my God, Lu Lincheng, I can’t. I have to go and calm down.]

[Isn’t it normal for a couple? They’re two grown adults. I say, some fans shouldn’t be too overly excited.]

[Liang Yan and Lu Lincheng have always been a couple-in-name only! I don’t believe it!][Impossible! It can’t be! Lu Lincheng doesn’t even like Liang Yan!]

[Who can it be? She’s also in Gudong City.]

[This woman is just trying to rub on Lu Lincheng’s popularity, disgusting.]

[What does traces really mean? I scratched myself yesterday. Does having it today mean I slept with someone yesterday? Hilarious.]

......

Liang Yan stared at the phone, petrified. She didn’t expect that during the two and half hour flight with no internet, a lot had happened.

The situation was moving too fast; she had to take time to digest it.

Lu Lincheng… scratch marks.

Liang Yan racked her brains about what happened last night, trying to recall it while staring at the screenshot. In addition to being on the front, side, and back, what did she do? She grabbed Lu Lincheng? She did it?

She didn’t remember at all!

Liang Yan read her Weibo, and there were more and more questions. She slapped her hand hard, regretting why she sent the selfie earlier and also turned on the location.

Obviously, the whole industry was waiting for their divorce, and the abandoned woman persona was in the works. Now, they said that Lu Lincheng’s body was used by her…

Liang Yan shivered.

She indirectly admitted in the eyes of the public that she slept with the flower of the high mountains — Lu Lincheng — he couldn’t be desecrated. The blasphemy committed to Lu Lincheng…

If the fans didn’t tear her to pieces, it would be strange!

**

In Gudong City, the set of “Dark Night Walk.’

Lu Lincheng touched his collarbone and the scratches left from last night and felt a slight tingling in his belly.

Zhou Yang was shocked beside him.

Lu Lincheng just told him that the scratches issue in Weibo right now was Liang Yan’s masterpiece last night.

Zhou Yang, who had experienced countless waves and winds during his years as an agent, forced himself to calm down. His mind churned up more than a hundred kinds of plans and finally chose two: “First, we don’t respond. If the protagonist doesn’t respond to this kind of thing, no one will discuss this tomorrow. Second…” Zhou Yan inhaled deeply and gazed at Lu Lincheng’s side profile, “You post on Weibo that you caught an allergy and that Liang Yan had nothing to do with it.”

Lu Lincheng frowned. “No connection with Liang Yan at all?”

Zhou Yang suddenly slapped his head. “Damn, what if Liang Yan jumps out at this time and admits it?” He pulled out his phone. “I’ll call her.”

Zhou Yang pulled out his phone, but before he could call her, he suddenly received a notification that Liang Yan had just posted something.

“Damn it!” Zhou Yang gritted his teeth in anger without reading Liang Yan’s Weibo post. “I already said this woman isn’t good! She rushed out and admitted it! Lu Lincheng, when can you tear her off you?”

Lu Lincheng wasn’t as excited as Zhou Yang. He didn’t want to deceive the public and his fans, but knowing that Liang Yan rushed to admit it immediately made him dissatisfied. His brow furrowed and his thin lips pursed into a thin line.

Frowning, he pulled out his phone and went to read Liang Yan’s Weibo post.

She replied to a fan's post and comments…

Fan: Liang Yan, is it true that you scratch Lu Lincheng’s body? Don’t stain Lu Lincheng, okay? Please…

Liang Yan: I didn’t… I didn’t… I’m not deserving. (cry,jpg)

Lu Lincheng: ".................."
