Chapter 234: Posting an Update
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Wen Nian couldn’t help but chuckle at the childish and autocratic way Shen Jun addressed her.
Propping up her chin, she looked at him with a mischievous smile and said, “Fans call me ‘Big Sis Nian’ just like my parents call you ‘Little Shen.’ Although it’s a common way of addressing each other, it takes on a different meaning when we say it to each other. It’s something unique between us.”
Despite his displeasure, Shen Jun reluctantly accepted the explanation, realizing that terms of endearment like “baby” and “dear” were quite cliche.
Returning her attention to her phone, Wen Nian snapped a photo of her desk, edited her post, and then showed it to Shen Jun.
Caption: “Thank you all for liking the movie. I haven’t logged in lately because I’m in my senior year and busy with exam preparations. Thanks again for all the love and support!”
She added a picture of herself making a serious heart gesture.
However, Shen Jun’s attention was fixed on the photo. On the corner of her desk was a set of practice problems he had given her, and his desk was visible on the left side of the photo, adorned with a programming textbook bearing the elaborate character “Shen.”
This juxtaposition greatly satisfied Shen Jun’s vanity, and a pleased expression crossed his face.
In just a matter of seconds after the post was published, several comments appeared.
[What luck 1 have today! Right from the start, I see a post from my idol! No need for further words, just securing the first comment! ]
[Second! Big Sis Nian is really diligent, truly worthy of my admiration. We’re both in our senior year, and I’ve decided it’s time to work hard like Nian Jie! ]
As the movie gained popularity through word of mouth, Wen Nian, as the female lead, attracted the most fans. Yet, the social media followings of the other cast members also increased to varying degrees.
After the movie started gaining traction, Pan Jia secretly followed Wen Nian’s latest updates using an alternate account, bearing witness to Wen Nian’s follower count crossing the one million mark.
But when she compared this to her own increase of merely five to six thousand followers, Pan Jia was left feeling frustrated.
Seeing Wen Nian’s new update, Pan Jia eagerly started composing a message, preparing to expose Wen Nian’s true nature.
[1 bet she’s just putting on a show, pretending to be hardworking and inspiring to deceive her fans! Didn’t it come out before that Wen Nian had good grades when she got into school, but they plummeted, and she was nearly at the bottom? Old fans should know about it!]
[You, up there, you keep saying ‘old fans,’ and you seem to know quite a lot. Your words reveal that you’re a fake fan! Are you here to stir up trouble?! Well, I have to use reality to slap you in the face. Wen Nian climbed into the top 100 of the grade in last month’s first monthly exam.]
[Oh my! And I should believe you just because you said so? In that case, 1 am ranked first! Who are you trying to fool? Do you think 1 never attended high school? Going from the bottom to the top in just a year? It’s easier to eat sh*t than believe that!]
[Just because you can’t do it doesn’t mean others can’t!]
Back in the dorm, Zhou Bei was furious. “Sun Min, did you take a photo of our monthly exam scores?”
Sun Min, who was ready to counter the fake fan, heard this and thought for a moment. “Yes, I did!”
She immediately opened her phone’s photo album, found the class’s grade list, and pixelated the names of all the other students except Wen Nian’s. She then uploaded it to the comments section.
[Fake fan, there’s evidence in the form of a picture. See it for yourself! Eat sh*t!]
Pan Jia, who didn’t expect Wen Nian to be this fierce, stomped her foot in anger. Her eyes darted around before she picked up her phone to continue posting.
[Could this be cheating?! After all, she’s considered a celebrity now. She’s already established a persona previously, so she has to make up for it.]
[At Hai City No. 1 High School, our examination halls are organized based on the results of each exam. This means that students in the same exam hall as Wen Nian have comparable scores to hers. However, she’s the only one from that hall who made it into the top loo. What more can you argue about?]
There were plenty of ways to tarnish someone’s image, and Pan Jia, looking at the supportive comments, couldn’t help but sneer.
[1 didn’t say her classmates helped her cheat. With technology being so advanced these days, who knows what high-tech cheating methods she might have used..]
