Chapter 571: Confession
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Lu Zhen still had an impression of what had happened that day. As expected, as long as someone saw it, there was a risk that everyone would know.
Fortunately, the girl did not see her face and could not confirm her identity.
However, Lu Zhen felt that the fact that she had appeared at the Polytechnic University might be investigated by the netizens soon.
She was a celebrity. Due to her special identity, she had specially submitted an application before taking the exam, hoping that the organizer would arrange for her to be in a less crowded examination hall to avoid being recognized and causing a bad impact.
Therefore, there were less than ten people in the examination hall where Lu Zhen took the exam. She was wearing a hat and a mask during the exam, so she should not have been recognized by the others in the same examination hall.
However, if someone found out that she had also taken the exam at that time, it would prove that she was the girl in the photo.
Lu Zhen sighed and thought for a moment before sending Song Jia a message.
“Why don’t I confess?”
“Confess what?” Song Jia replied quickly.
Sometimes, Lu Zhen wondered if Song Jia was the boss of a company. Other bosses were so busy that they couldn’t even care about their wives and children. As a boss, not only could he reply to her messages instantly, but he could also spend a lot of time with her.
This reminded Lu Zhen of a famous saying: Time is like water in a sponge. There’s always some when you squeeze it. She wondered if Song Jia would still be as warm to her as he was now after they had been together for a long time.
Lu Zhen hesitated for a moment and said, “If I participate in the exam, this matter might not be able to be hidden anymore. Instead of being guessed by the netizens, it’s better to take the initiative to say it. Now, public opinion has been fermenting for two days. If I still don’t explain anything, the netizens might think that I’m too insincere.”
Lu Zhen hoped that her movie would be so popular when it was released.
Unfortunately, netizens always seemed to be more interested in her love life.
“If you want to do that, that’s fine, but there are some details that don’t need to be explained too clearly. There’s no need for the netizens to know all about your private life,” Song Jia said.
“Alright, I understand. Then continue working.” After Lu Zhen finished speaking, she realized something and sighed. “How can I discuss such a thing with you? My manager is clearly Ye Xuan.”
Song Jia also smiled and said, “This is between the two of us. The Internet has been discussing you and me for the past few days. Ye Xuan even told me that it’s a pity that I didn’t study marketing. She’s about to call me a marketing genius.”
Lu Zhen couldn’t help but laugh. That seemed to be the case. Other entertainment companies racked their brains every day to hope that their celebrities would appear on the entertainment rankings. They even did not hesitate to create fake news or hype.
But Lu Zhen and Song Jia had only gone to university for a while, and a photo that happened to circulate had caused a heated discussion on the Internet. This should make the marketing departments of other entertainment companies very speechless.
After hanging up, Lu Zhen typed a Weibo post and posted it ten minutes later. “Thank you for your concern and attention. I didn’t expect a photo to make everyone so curious. The person in the photo is indeed me and my boyfriend @OnlyLu Zhen.”
When Lu Zhen wrote this, her face was as red as a ripe apple. She had never been in a relationship before, so she had never officially admitted that she had a boyfriend in her account, let alone interact with Song Jia’s account.
This was the first time she had tagged her boyfriend in her account.
“l went to the Polytechnic University to take the exam. That’s why that photo was taken. Because it was my personal matter, I didn’t tell anyone, nor did 1 tell my fans. But now it seems that it’s better to let everyone know. That’s the situation.”
After Lu Zhen’s Weibo post was released, the excited netizens swarmed into the comments section like fish that had smelled bait.
“Lu Zhen went to take the exam? What exam?”
“It’s the adult college entrance examination. This exam is to give those in society who don’t have the chance to complete nine years of compulsory education a chance to enter university. I really didn’t expect Lu Zhen to participate in the adult college entrance examination.”
“There were always people who attacked Lu Zhen for her low education and said that she was uncultured. Could it be that she was affected by these words and took the exam?”
“No matter what, Lu Zhen participated in the exam to improve herself and set a good example for fans and netizens..”
