Chapter 120 - 120: Brother, Can You Stop Rubbing!

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

After much persuasion, Grandpa An finally gave up on stepping in for her. Later, after agreeing to have dinner at his mansion in the evening, Nan Yan finally saw him off.

Upon returning, she found the headmaster looking at her with an expression of wanting to say something.

“Headmaster, do you need something?”

“It’s not… I just wanted to ask, Nan Yan, have you never revealed your true nature in front of your grandpa?”

Otherwise, how could Grandpa An sav those things?

“What nature of mine?” Nan Yan raised an eyebrow coolly. “I just treat others the way they treat me. Love and hate are always mutual. I have a naturally cold demeanor, I don’t easily have a positive impression of strangers. Only if someone shows goodwill first, will I reciprocate. If someone dislikes me, I’ll naturally dislike them too. Why should I like people who dislike me? What kind of dream is that?”

The headmaster understood.

“Nan Yan, your personality… puts you at a disadvantage…”

“Well, this way is good.” Nan Yan’s lips curled in a nonchalant smile. She signaled with her hand, “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back.”

“Go ahead.”

After a day and a night of brewing, especially when videos of Nan Hongyang and Li Shufen were trending, and Nan Yan still hadn’t responded, the internet users went crazy.

They all became righteous avengers, wishing they could pull Nan Yan out of the screen and beat her up.

At this moment, someone spoke up for Nan Yan.

Lin Zhiyan didn’t usually like going online; she usually stayed in her art studio and painted. Today she decided to relax a bit, scrolled through her phone, and stumbled upon these things.

She was infuriated and immediately posted on her social media:

[You people have no idea how kind Nan Yan is. She would never do such a thing. Someone must be framing her!]

She was a somewhat well-known blogger on the internet. Since she didn’t have friends in real life, she chose to share her art and some daily life on the internet. However, she never posted her own photos or revealed her real identity. Her air of mystery and high-level drawing skills gained her a faithful following.

But now that internet users saw Lin Zhiyan defending Nan Yan, they began shifting their hatred, using all sorts of vicious words to attack her.

Even her fans, one by one, unfollowed her, joining the internet users in cursing her.

Lin Zhiyan hadn’t experienced this before, and seeing the comments hating on her made her face turn pale, and her heart hurt so much she could hardly breathe.

Just when she was about to have a breakdown, Nan Yan called her.

She was almost immobilized by pain, but she made an effort to answer the call.

“Lin Zhiyan, as I said, take a deep breath slowly, in… out…”

Nan Yan’s voice was calm and clear, carrying a hint of magic, guiding Lin Zhiyan subconsciously.

After a few deep breaths, the severe pain in her heart eased a bit. Her numb limbs regained some sensation.

“Feeling better?” Nan Yan listened to Lin Zhiyan’s breathing, which had calmed down, and she relaxed her grip on the phone a little.

“Wow…” Lin Zhiyan started crying. She choked, “Nan Yan, I feel so miserable…”

Nan Yan’s voice was gentle. “There’s no need to feel miserable. Don’t bother with these things on the internet. Take your medication and rest for a while.”

Lin Zhiyan’s eyes turned red. “I’m upset for you. They don’t know anything about you and yet they’re cursing you. You’re so good, how can they curse you like this!”

Nan Yan explained softly, “Don’t care about those people you don’t even know. They can’t affect me in any way.”

“Little fool, you’re getting upset about internet trolls, causing yourself pain, and making those who love you suffer. Those people are not affected.”

“So, just ignore them.”

“Nan Yan, are you really not bothered?”

“Why should I be bothered? I should thank them for making this matter widely known.”

Nan Yan’s voice lowered, tinged with a touch of fierceness.

Lin Zhiyan didn’t quite understand why Nan Yan wasn’t angry when she was scolded like that on the Internet. Instead, she felt that she was doing it on purpose.

When she saw those things, her fragile heart could not bear it at all and she almost died of sadness.

“Alright, go and rest. Don’t go online anymore. These things will be resolved tomorrow.”

“Also, your Weibo password has been temporarily changed to prevent you from surreptitiously looking at those things online.””

This time, she happened to be surfing the internet. After seeing the message she sent, she was scolded by someone. She immediately called her and saved her life.

Otherwise, she might really have a heart attack from the Internet trolls and die in pain without anyone to take care of her.

Thinking of this consequence, the ruthlessness in Nan Yan’s eyes deepened.

She originally planned to wait three days.

But looking at the current popularity, she didn’t need to waste that much time.

The doorbell rang.

Nan Yan placed her phone next to her laptop and went to answer the door.

When the door opened, Qin Lu was standing there, his face cold.

“Nan Yan, why didn’t you tell me about what happened online?” “Just a minor issue, not worth disturbing you, Brother…”

Nan Yan was speechless!

Didn’t she tell Wu Yue not to tell him about this?

He actually went against her wishes.

-Wu Yue said he wouldn’t take this blame!

Who would have thought that Qin Lu, who usually didn’t care about online matters, would suddenly develop an interest in going online today. And then he saw the news trending at the top.

“Being cursed at is a minor issue?”

Nan Yan:

She felt strangely guilty and somewhat wronged.

Qin Lu seemed to be very angry…

Nan Yan reached out and tugged at the corner of Qin Lu’s clothes.

She looked up, her beautiful peach blossom eyes clear and soft. She explained, “Brother, I deliberately didn’t handle this matter to let it escalate in popularity. Don’t be mad, okay?”

Qin Lu’s anger, after seeing the girl’s appearance, dissolved like a balloon pricked by a needle.

“Deliberately?”

“Yes.” Nan Yan saw that he had calmed down a little and quickly nodded her head. She said coldly, “If I don’t do this, how can I get them out of my world?”

“By the way, take care of another person.”

An Muyao was courting death this time.

She didn’t even go to look for her, but she took the initiative to come over by herself.

Not taking care of her would be unfair to her for being so proactive.

“You’re sure you can handle it yourself?” Qin Lu was still a bit worried, afraid she was being stubborn.

“Of course.” Nan Yan’s face brightened with a smile. “Tomorrow night, Brother can watch the good show with me.”

“Okay.” Qin Lu reached out and rubbed her head. “If you have any problems, you can come to me at any time.”

Nan Yan:

Can Brother stop rubbing me so much?

She was really going to go bald!
