The pretty little follower gets targeted by the crazy guys at the elite academy

When Li Ruo returned to her dormitory, it was already completely dark.

As soon as she turned on her phone, the notification sounds started ringing incessantly, like it was about to explode.

The class group, the anonymous wall, and even some gossip groups she had blocked were all in an uproar.

It all started with a photo that wasn't particularly high resolution, but was absolutely eye-catching.

The photo was clearly taken secretly.

The location was on the tree-lined path outside the abandoned racetrack behind the college in the evening.

The warm orange light of the setting sun perfectly casts an ambiguous and nostalgic halo over the scene.

In the center of the photo is a sleek and imposing silver heavy motorcycle.

The boy straddling the motorcycle had fiery red short hair that was unruly and arrogant. His black leather jacket had the collar slightly open, and his profile was sharp. He was none other than Lu Ran, who was known as a serious misogynistic motorcycle fanatic.

What truly ignited the entire school was—

There was a girl sitting on the back of his motorcycle!

The girl was wearing a pink bunny helmet, a simple white T-shirt and denim shorts, with her long chestnut brown hair falling down from the edge of the helmet.

Her slender arms were tightly wrapped around Lu Ran's lean waist.

The two rode together in a car, their posture intimate, speeding past in the sunset.

The photo's title was even more sensational and outrageous:

[Breaking News! Lu Ran, the number one misogynist at Saint Lia, has blossomed! A mysterious and delicate beauty has appeared on the back of his motorcycle! Eyewitness account: hugging and pressing against each other's backs, seemingly in a passionate relationship!!!]

The post already has thousands of replies and is still growing at an alarming rate:

The anonymous poster, a first-hand observer of gossip, passionately shares their thoughts:

[Family members, does anyone understand?! This afternoon I was strolling around the racetrack and almost tripped over my own eyes! What did I see?! Was that Lu Ran, the senior?! The legendary Lu Ran, the one who automatically triggers the "Don't Touch Me" buff when girls get within three meters, and who once threw off the school beauty who tried to sit on his back seat?! There's someone on his back seat?! And a girl who looks delicate?! Even though her face is covered by a helmet, her figure, hair color, and overall aura are definitely those of a stunning beauty!]

[The key point is! Not only did Senior Lu let her sit down, but the girl also hugged his waist so tightly! And he didn't throw her off?! And compared to his usual lightning-fast driving, this time it seemed... his speed was actually quite steady??]

What's wrong with this world?! Am I going crazy, or has Senior Lu Ran been possessed?! That Lu Ran, who's misogynistic to the core, actually allows girls to ride on the back of his beloved motorcycle?! And even allows her to put her arm around his waist?! This is a hundred times more outrageous than the sun rising in the west!!!

First-floor bystander A:

"Holy crap?! Really? Is this photoshopped? Lu Ran with a girl in the back seat? That's even more impossible than President Guo smiling at a girl!"

Second Floor Truth Seeker B:

"The picture is real. The location is a bend at the edge of the school's racetrack, and I recognize the tree in the background. It was around 5 PM today. Who is this girl...? She's incredibly bold!"

The president of the Lu Ran fan club on the third floor has turned evil:

【No, I don't believe it! Ran Ge is ours! He's the wind! He's lightning! He's the free lone wolf! How could he let a woman taint his back seat?! This must be a conspiracy! It's Photoshop! It's AI face swapping! (Frantically typing on the keyboard)】

Fourth Floor Sherlock Holmes - Campus Edition:

Based on the comparison of hair color, height, and body type, as well as the range of women who could approach Lu Ran without being beaten up... I have a bold guess...

The fifth-floor urging voice: [Stop keeping me in suspense! Tell me already!]

Sixth Floor Sherlock Holmes - Campus Edition:

[Li Ruo, a second-year student in Class A who recently transferred to the school, has long chestnut-brown hair, is exceptionally beautiful, and has successfully attracted the attention of several school bullies, is highly suspicious.]

C, a bystander on the seventh floor:

[Li Ruo?! That super pretty transfer student?! The one who immediately offended Zhou Si, Guo Yiling, and even had a rumored romance with Jiang Wu?! Holy crap! Is she trying to collect all the top lunatics at St. Lia's?! Lu Ran has fallen for her too?!]

Eighth-floor onlooker D:

[If it's her... it doesn't seem entirely impossible? After all, she even dared to talk back to Zhou Si, and Guo Yiling seemed unable to do anything about her...]

Ninth Floor Lemon Spirit E:

[Why?! What magic does she possess?! First, Zhou Si brought her breakfast every day, then a mysterious big shot sent her roses out of the blue! Now even Lu Ran is... My gods!!!]

F, the leader of the CP fans on the tenth floor:

[Wait! If it really is Li Ruo... then can we start shipping the Ran Ruo CP?! A hot-tempered motorcyclist x a beautiful little vixen! A clash of titans! The sex tension is off the charts, ladies!! (squeaks like a rooster)]

The eleventh floor rationally does not analyze G:

[Don't rush to ship them! Have you forgotten Lu Ran's misogynistic persona? This whole thing is suspicious! Maybe Li Ruo used some means to threaten Lu Ran? Or... does she have some leverage over him?]

Conspiracy Theory H on the 12th Floor: [This is terrifying to think about! How could Li Ruo, a transfer student, stir up such a storm in such a short time? Does she have some powerful backing? What is her purpose in getting close to these privileged students?!]

The Thirteenth Floor Prophet:

[Waiting for the reactions of the other lunatics. Zhou Si will be the first to explode! Guo Yiling is probably going to be furious! Jiang Wu, that yandere… I don’t even want to think about it. And then there’s Pei Qingrang and that hidden big shot! Saint Lia is about to change!]

The thirteenth floor was always eager to watch the drama unfold.

[@Student Union Discipline Department @President Guo Yiling @Minister of Discipline Department @Student Union: Please do something about this! It's indecent for male and female students to be hugging and kissing while riding together in broad daylight! This seriously damages our school's excellent reputation! (Actually, I also wanted to sit in the back seat of Lu Ran, sob sob)]

Anonymous commenter on the 14th floor replied to commenter on the 13th floor:

[Screenshot taken, tagged. Chairman Guo, it's up to you now! (Passes a torch)]

The post quickly became a trending topic, with over a thousand replies in an instant, and it rapidly spawned countless discussion threads, analysis threads, pairing threads, and even conspiracy theory columns.

[Analysis Post: How did Li Ruo gradually win over the top male god group at Saint Liya?]

[A Mixed CP Analysis: The Possibility of a Love Triangle Between Zhou Si, Lu Ran, and Li Ruo]

[In-depth analysis: The mysterious background of transfer student Li Ruo and her hunting list]

[School Rules Discussion: Is it a violation of school rules for male and female students to ride a motorcycle together and have physical contact? How severe should the punishment be?]

The rumors are getting more and more outrageous:

Some say that Li Ruo is the reincarnation of a thousand-year-old fox spirit who specifically absorbs the yang energy of men;

Some say she's the heiress of some secret family, and she's here in St. Lia to choose a bride?

Some say that Lu Ran had actually been secretly in love with Li Ruo for a long time, and his misogyny was just a pretense. The back seat of his motorcycle was his most precious territory, which he only allowed his destined person to enter.

Some even claimed to have witnessed Li Ruo casting a spell on Lu Ran at the racetrack, which explained Lu Ran's unusual behavior...

Anyway!

A campus media storm, triggered by a blurry photo, thrust the two into the eye of the storm.

The post's popularity continued to soar, and it was even reposted to other social media platforms:

"Saint Leah, a misogynistic motorcyclist, riding with a mysterious woman!"

"Li Ruo's stamp collecting is insane!"

"Another fierce general has joined the battlefield!"

...and other related terms quickly became popular.

And at this moment—

The mobile phones of several parties involved and related individuals received forum push notifications or shared links from enthusiastic classmates at almost the same time.
