There was a signature at the lower right corner: Lin Jiage, 21 April 2018.
The thread was posted at six o'clock in the morning, and in just three hours, there were already more than a thousand responses.
Other than a bunch of Lin Jiage fangirls crying over the attached status of their Adonis, there were some responses which were particularly interesting.
For example, a person who went under the username of [Good People Are Flat-chested] replied: [From this moment onward, please call me professor, bolded and underlined—
["The students of G University are actually Masters in Gossip"; for those students who've been criticizing others over a mere four photos, please take note—those words are directed right at you!
["That car and the driver were specially arranged by my grandfather for Yaoyao's sake." Please don't overlook the main phrases in that sentence—'my grandfather' and 'Yaoyao'. They've already met the elders of the family, and the elders are very satisfied with her, to the point of dispatching their driver just for her!
["I believe Yaoyao", pah pah pah, those words are a resounding slap on the faces of those joining in the bandwagon without any thought.
["She could have just typed in the password for my house by herself." What this sentence means is that she knows the password to Lin Jiage's house. Just a curious thought, does she know his PIN number as well?
["The confirmation through our gazes, you're the only person I've ever kissed!"... Single dogs, are you able to get this through your heads?]
Other than that, there was also another user who went by the name of [Bro, I Am a Loli, Date?] that commented: [Wow wow wow, Lin Jiage sure is arrogant. To actually send a lawyer's letter right on the school forum, Lin Jiage is drawing his sword for his beauty! There's no more need for words—I'll bump 1 you up!]
The trio in Shi Yao's dormitory boasted a fighting power that didn't lose out to the fiercely debating crowd on the forums either.
He Tiantian: "The first time my Adonis pops up in the forum, and it turns out to be for Yaoyao, and Yaoyao happens to be my roommate. Suddenly, I feel as if the distance between my Adonis and me has been reduced by a lot!"
Jiang Yue: "Yaoyao, you'd better come clean. What's your relationship with Lin Jiage? If you two aren't close, how could you possibly know the password to his house? If you're not close, how could he have possibly kissed you?"
Leng Nuan: "And if you're not close, why would his family prepare a driver and a car for you?"
Facing everyone's interrogation, Shi Yao, who hadn't recovered from her astonishment from the forum, replied in a daze, "I have no idea either."
"You don't know, your head! You just wait, we'll come back to interrogating you after we finish browsing through the forum!" Jiang Yue tossed a pillow at Shi Yao.
He Tiantian expressed her approval: "+1."
Leng Nuan approved the motion as well: "+2."
Shi Yao didn't say a word, turning to look at the phone instead.
She looked through Lin Jiage's post from top to bottom once again, and her mind finally slowly whirred into action.
Lin Jiage... clearly didn't want any kind of relationship between us, so why would he stand up to help me?
And it's one thing for him to help me, but to explain it in such a suggestive manner... it's making it look like we're in a special relationship!
Were the words of the forum crowd simply too awful that it woke up his sense of justice, so he decided to stand up to save a damsel in distress?
The more Shi Yao thought about it, the more plausible the idea sounded to her.
Or perhaps, it might be due to another reason instead...
But before Shi Yao could think deeper into the matter, He Tiantian's words suddenly interrupted her thoughts, "Yaoyao, Han Jing also spoke up for you in the forum. He said that it was only a normal gathering among friends that day, and there was a KTV next to the hotel."
Shortly after He Tiantian said those words, a call from Han Jing came in.
Shi Yao stared at her phone for a moment before picking it up.
Usually, forum threads are sorted based on the one with the most recent comments, so those which haven't been commented on recently will slowly sink down. Thus, the term 'bump' is often used in forums to push the thread back up to the top.
