The post fermented for two days, and its popularity remained high, with many people at the school seeing it.
Especially after Sheng Ning’an and Xu Weiran’s identities were exposed.
The next day when they went to class, there were noticeably more people at the classroom door, stealthily taking photos with their phones.
Even Shi Yue laughed and said, "Ning An, is your boyfriend really that much older than you? But you can’t tell at all; I thought he was a senior from our school!"
As soon as Shi Yue spoke, those sitting near Sheng Ning’an couldn’t help but look over at her.
Everyone was quite curious about her having a boyfriend eight years older.
Sheng Ning’an couldn’t resist glancing in Shi Yue’s direction, and the latter suddenly felt a twinge of guilt, but she quickly calmed down and even flashed a smile at Sheng Ning’an, as if she was just honestly curious when she asked.
Those sitting next to her like Tian Yu subtly felt there was something off with that remark, but couldn’t quite put their finger on it, although they were actually quite curious too.
Sheng Ning’an did not speak, and then heard Shi Yue say again, "Ning An, are you not happy? Well, I’d be upset too if my privacy was posted online. But your boyfriend is really handsome, even more so than the most handsome guy at our school, and though he’s much older than you, everyone will surely bless you two."
Sheng Ning’an did not respond but found the Douyin post that had first shared their photos and reported it, before looking up and saying, "My boyfriend is indeed eight years older than me. Is there an issue with that?"
Shi Yue hastily said, "No, we are just concerned about you and were just curious. Please don’t get me wrong!"
While she said not to misunderstand, every sentence emphasized how Xu Weiran was older than her.
Yes, she was jealous: jealous that the other girl was prettier, had a better family background, and was loved by so many. Now she was even more jealous that Sheng Ning’an had found such an outstanding boyfriend.
It seemed as if all the good luck was circling around her.
Seeing the atmosphere was a bit off, Tian Yu quickly chimed in, "Ning An, I heard online that your boyfriend graduated from Jing University, works in a research institute, and even studied abroad. Is it true?"
"Yes!" Sheng Ning’an nodded.
Tian Yu said, "Your boyfriend is truly amazing!"
Shi Yue’s voice unexpectedly resounded again, "Then your boyfriend must make a lot of money, right?" Before, seeing her driving a luxury car, I thought her family was wealthy, but now it seems possible that it was her boyfriend’s gift.
"What exactly are you trying to say?" Sheng Ning’an was impatient with her tone.
Shi Yue smiled innocently and said, "So, did you start dating him because he’s really capable?" The implication was clear; she wasn’t implying that Sheng Ning’an was with him just for his money, right?
Sheng Ning’an looked coldly at her and said, "I not only admire his capabilities but also his face. Is there an issue?"
Shi Yue grinned sheepishly and said, "No, I was just asking casually. There’s no other meaning, don’t misunderstand."
Despite her constant emphasis on not misunderstanding, her words deliberately led others to misunderstand.
The people around sensed something was off, and their gazes at the two became somewhat strange.
However, Sheng Ning’an directly averted her gaze, not giving Shi Yue another moment of attention, and others also gradually sensed the oddity, looking at Shi Yue with weird expressions before silently averting their gazes too.
Shi Yue, noticing the strange looks from others, couldn’t help but tighten her hand that was hanging by her side.
