The night before the college entrance exam results were released, I redeemed my Peking University ad

Provincial Central Hospital.

Wang Nan's arm was wrapped in gauze, and her face still bore the red marks from the cigarette burns she'd received that morning. She grabbed the doctor's arm:

"Doctor, is Yizhen...is he alright?"

"The patient's overall condition is stable; they only have superficial injuries and should recover in about two weeks, but..."

"But what?"

Wang Nan's heart was in her throat.

"However, you should be prepared for the wound on the patient's face."

After the doctor finished speaking, he nodded, turned around, and walked out of the ward.

Wang Nan stood frozen in place.

Are you mentally prepared?

Could it be... that it will leave a scar?

To be honest, surviving the collapsed recording studio is already incredibly lucky.

Minor cuts and scrapes are nothing to worry about.

But Shen Yizhen is different.

He's a top idol who makes a living off his looks!

Can a celebrity with a disfigured face still be considered a top star?

Wang Nan walked to the bedside and, trying to appear calm, reassured him, "Yizhen, don't worry. I'll contact the best plastic surgery hospital in Switzerland right away and use their top-notch scar removal technology. It definitely won't leave any traces, so don't worry..."

Shen Yizhen leaned against the hospital bed, her left cheek wrapped in thick gauze, revealing only one bloodshot eye, looking completely dazed.

Yesterday, he even told Sister Nan, "Sister, everything is going so well for me!"

But in the blink of an eye, less than 24 hours later, he encountered a major crisis in his life.

His entire acting career could be ruined by this scar.

A venomous light emanated from his eyes, and Shen Yizhen clenched his fists so tightly that his nails almost dug into his flesh.

It's all Ji Bai's fault!

That jinx!

That jinx!

No wonder he killed his whole family!

If he hadn't cursed himself to collapse, how could the recording studio have collapsed?

Although this collapse was not the same as the previous one, Shen Yizhen still harbored resentment towards Ji Bai.

If Ji Bai hadn't posted that cursed Weibo post early in the morning, how could the recording studio have collapsed for no reason?

Just then, the assistant, clutching her phone, rushed in, bursting through the door in a panic, her brow beaded with sweat.

"Sister Nan! Brother Zhen! Something terrible has happened! The public opinion has backfired!"

"What?"

"Backlash from public opinion?"

Shen Yizhen and Wang Nan were both stunned.

How could that be?

He's injured so badly, the internet should be full of sympathy, so why is it turning into a backlash?

"What happened?" Wang Nan asked, frowning.

"Here's what happened! The cyber security department just issued a police report, shutting down three illegal pornographic websites and arresting all the girls who were filming with Ji Bai in the previous video!"

"So?" Shen Yizhen was still a little confused.

What does the police arresting people have to do with me?

"But the girls' fans aren't happy!"

"What does their unhappiness have to do with me?" Shen Yizhen was still confused.

"Because our fans have been tagging the police, saying something about arresting Ji Bai."

The assistant, panting, explained the whole story: "The police have really arrested him, shut down several websites, and verified that the person in the video wasn't Ji Bai. As a result, those girls' fans are holding a grudge against us!"

"They're all criticizing us!"

After hearing the whole story, the ward was deathly quiet.

Shen Yizhen and Wang Nan looked at each other, their faces filled with absurdity.

No!

Does this work too?

Do those girls also have fans?

That's fucking outrageous!

Wang Nan opened Weibo and clicked on Shen Yizhen's homepage.

Sure enough, a large number of online trolls arrived.

"I'm speechless! Are you fans crazy? You just shut down a perfectly good site after it was reported, are you out of your minds?"

"Coriander-sensei is my favorite foot dancer. Because of your bunch of brainless fans who made baseless accusations, she got arrested. Are you going to compensate me?"

"I heard his face got scratched? Serves him right! This is karma, always reporting others for no reason!"

"You have so many messes in your own family, and you still have time to care about other people filming videos? You should worry about your brother's face first, or he'll end up playing a scarred villain."

"So it's you fans who keep tagging the police and yelling for someone to be arrested, right? You got what you wanted, are you happy now? My membership still has six months left, who's going to compensate me?"

"What kind of top celebrity is this? Their character is so bad, inciting fans to report websites. I suggest investigating them all!"

"Being disfigured is the least of your worries; why didn't they bury your brother in there?"

……

Shen Yizhen leaned over and glanced at the comments, trembling with anger, her face flushed red under the gauze.

Wang Nan was stunned, standing there for a long time, unable to come to her senses. She had originally wanted to use Ji Bai's rumors to gain attention.

First, the recording studio collapsed and injured his face, and now he's attracted this inexplicable wave of enemies. It's like he's having a run of bad luck.

"It's all Ji Bai's fault, that jinx!" The assistant muttered under her breath as she stood to the side.

The voice just fell.

next second.

boom!

Shen Yizhen was holding an iPhone 17 Pro that her assistant had just bought, which she had just dropped and shattered on the ground.

The assistant stared at her new phone, which she had just bought on installment, and was instantly stunned, almost bursting into tears.

No, if you're going to throw something, throw it yourself! Why are you throwing mine?

But seeing Shen Yizhen's bloodshot eyes and murderous look, she didn't dare to say those words and could only swallow her grievances and take two steps back.

Shen Yizhen's eyes were red, her chest heaving violently, and she kept repeating that name to herself:

"Ji Bai! Ji Bai! It's all your fault!"

"I'm not finished with you!!"

……

"DilililiDilidada……"

Ji Bai whistled as he turned the key and opened the door to his old, dilapidated house.

He kicked off his canvas shoes and slumped into the sofa, unable to suppress the smile on his face.

This meal was totally worth it.

Older teacher, no, the lobster was really authentic!

Those two large pincers were big and round, and felt heavy in my hand.

Once the hard shell is peeled off, tender pink flesh is revealed, soft, bouncy, and plump, as if it would burst with juice with just a gentle pinch.

The shrimp tails are absolutely amazing, with firm and bouncy meat, a neat and beautifully tapered waistline, and the downward-extending muscle lines exuding a sense of strength. Even the shrimp roe is so fragrant that it makes your bones melt.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

Ji Bai smacked his lips for a couple of seconds, savoring the moment, before bursting into laughter again.

What are you thinking? We're clearly talking about lobsters.

Ji Bai slumped onto the sofa, casually pulled out his phone to browse Weibo, and burst out laughing as soon as he clicked on something.

The first item on the homepage is a police report: multiple illegal pornographic websites have been shut down and more than ten bloggers involved have been arrested. Several familiar faces are prominently featured in the censored list of names.

Scrolling further down, Shen Yizhen's Weibo account had already closed the comment section.

Passersby spent the whole afternoon criticizing the situation, and even the fans' attempts to control the comments couldn't stop them. In the end, they had no choice but to close the comments and leave.

Ji Bai leaned back on the sofa and laughed.

Does this work too?

Good things really come in pairs!

It's a double celebration!

Shen Yizhen's fans went on a reporting spree to expose him, but ended up getting their own Happy Home page taken down, which ironically helped clear his name of the rumors. It was like a godsend!

But scrolling down to the comments section, there's still a group of stubborn, brainless fans, pretending to be asleep while covering their ears, refusing to admit anything, and relentlessly attacking:

"The authorities are just protecting a genius, afraid of damaging the top scorer's reputation. You actually believe that?"

"He must have spent money and pulled strings to suppress it! His uncles were just giving him a way out, otherwise it would be such a disgrace to the country if the top scorer's video got out."

"The person in the video looks exactly like him, who else could it be but him? I don't believe it, it's definitely him!"

"Even Brother Shen was forced to close his comment section because of him. He's a complete jinx, bringing trouble wherever he goes."

"He's utterly disgraced scholars! Peking University should expel him immediately; don't let him pollute the university's reputation!"

"Just you wait, our brother won't let this go. You'll get your comeuppance sooner or later!"
