Chapter 214
The scene in the cafeteria caused a new wave of excitement on the Qingda University campus forum.
Some quick-fingered user on the frontlines of gossip had perfectly captured the moment Gu Ran fed Ye Zhenzhen a piece of sweet and sour pork.
The title of the post looked like it was written by a professional clickbait master:
BREAKING! Military Training Goddess and Mysterious Boyfriend Show PDA! Aloof Persona Collapses or Is It True Love?
As soon as the post went live, the comments section blew up.
"Holy crap! That side profile is killing me! Who is this guy? Butler! I need all his info in three minutes!"
"Did the person above just get internet? Isn't that the big shot who drives the Audi A6 with the '66666' license plate!"
"Who said he was an 'old man' sugar daddy before? Come out and take your beating! This is clearly a young, handsome CEO!"
"Case closed, guys! What sugar baby rumors? This is obviously the beautiful romance between a top-tier rich, handsome guy and our pure campus belle!"
"I'm officially shipping them. I've swallowed the key, please lock them together forever!"
"Let me educate the clueless onlookers: For that rumor post a couple of days ago, this big shot called the cops to protect his girl, got the culprit arrested, and had the school expel the rumor-monger! Maximum boyfriend material!"
"Damn! Real or fake?"
"Pics or it didn't happen! DM me one dollar and I'll send you the whole truth!"
"So hardcore? I love it, that's a real man! The original poster better be careful."
The screen was flooded with comments like "I'm shipping it," "So sweet," and "Fairy-tale romance."
With various insiders spilling the tea, the truth about the Lin Yu incident was pieced together pretty accurately.
Gu Ran's image among the Qingda freshmen completed an epic leap.
He went from a mysterious rich kid to a handsome, wealthy, fiercely protective, self-made man with boundless potential.
And Ye Zhenzhen transformed from a gold digger into the little princess everyone envied.
...
Dorm 302.
Zhao Xiaoxiao was rolling around on her bed, holding her phone excitedly.
"Ahhh! Zhenzhen! Look! You and Gu Ran are trending again!"
She shoved her phone in front of Ye Zhenzhen, who had just walked into the room.
"You two are now Qingda's officially certified fairy-tale couple!"
Ye Zhenzhen looked at the most upvoted photo on the phone.
In the picture, Gu Ran was looking down at her, his eyes so tender they could melt hearts.
Her cheeks involuntarily grew hot.
"What fairy-tale couple? Don't talk nonsense."
Though she said that, an unconcealable smile rippled at the corners of her eyes and brows.
"Don't be shy!"
Zhao Xiaoxiao pinched her cheek.
"Look at these comments, everyone is praising you as a match made in heaven! Someone even started a fan group for your ship called 'Gu Ye Zhi Qiu', and it already has hundreds of members!"
"Gu Ye Zhi Qiu?"
Ye Zhenzhen murmured the name, feeling a sweet sensation in her heart.
"Yeah, look, someone even drew chibi fanart of you guys!"
Zhao Xiaoxiao swiped on the screen, speaking with excitement.
Chen Jing leaned over, pushed up her glasses, and said with a smile.
"If Lin Yu saw this, she'd probably die of anger."
"She deserves it! But I doubt she'll ever get to see it anyway!"
Zhao Xiaoxiao snorted.
"Anyone who dares to bully our Zhenzhen needs to be taught a harsh lesson!"
Looking at her two roommates standing up for her, Ye Zhenzhen felt warm inside.
When they weren't paying attention, she quietly picked up her phone and saved the chibi avatar.
With a light tap of her finger, her MicroChat profile picture was successfully changed.
...
Meanwhile, in Dorm 404.
As soon as Gu Ran entered the room, he saw Zhang Qi and Li Ming huddled around a computer.
Their expressions were as sleazy as could be.
"What are you looking at?"
Gu Ran asked as he dried his hair.
"Brother Gu! You've gone viral!"
Zhang Qi pointed at the computer screen and said excitedly.
"You and my sister-in-law are now the faces of our school! Look at this post, it has over a thousand comments!"
Gu Ran leaned in to take a look; it was indeed the photo of him feeding her in the cafeteria.
His eyes scrolled down, and he paused when he saw the cartoon picture.
It was a chibi cartoon boy wearing a sky-blue shirt and white wide-leg pants.
The facial features looked about seventy or eighty percent like him.
Driven by some inexplicable impulse, he took out his phone and opened Ye Zhenzhen's Moments.
Sure enough, her profile picture had changed.
A chibi girl wearing a lotus-pink top and a short black skirt was standing on her tiptoes, kissing the boy on the cheek.
Was this a matching couple's avatar?
Gu Ran's heart felt as if it had been gently bumped by something, melting into complete softness.
This little girl was getting better and better at this.
He smiled and gave his screen a light tap.
He changed his own profile picture to that chibi boy.
"Oh right, Brother Gu."
Zhang Qi suddenly remembered something.
"That guy Qin Zhaoyang hasn't returned to the dorm all day. He's not replying to messages or answering calls. You don't think he took things too hard and went to jump into Weiming Lake, do you?"
"Him?"
Gu Ran scoffed.
"He doesn't have the guts."
Based on his understanding of Qin Zhaoyang.
After getting completely thrashed by his dad this time, he was probably too ashamed to show his face and was just hiding.
"Let's not talk about him for now."
Gu Ran pulled out his chair, sat down, turned on his computer, and said seriously.
"Starting tomorrow, our Computer Repair Center can officially open for business. Are the flyers printed?"
"Printed! Five thousand copies!"
Li Ming dragged a large cardboard box out from under his bed.
"Don't worry, Brother Gu. I guarantee they'll be slipped under the door of every single dorm room!"
"Good."
Gu Ran nodded.
"Remember our slogan."
"Door-to-door service, professional and efficient! Thirty bucks a pop, fair to all! No charge if we can't fix it, girls' dorms get priority!"
Zhang Qi and Li Ming shouted in unison, as if they were completely pumped up.
Gu Ran smiled in satisfaction.
These young men he had brainwashed actually had quite impressive execution skills.
He clicked open an encrypted folder containing the next version iteration plan for MicroChat.
Shake was just the ignition point.
The real trump card was yet to come.
Moments, Official Accounts, Mini Programs...
These features, which wouldn't be implemented until the future, were quietly resting on his computer right now.
They were waiting for the perfect opportunity to descend upon this world.
He turned his head and glanced out the window.
The night was dark, but a new era.
Had already quietly raised its curtain.
