Wei Zhiqian thought, Isnt her admiring look a little too exaggerated?

It was as if he did something extraordinary.

Still, itd be impossible not to feel proud after being admired and extolled by her.

He was already on cloud nine.

See you next time. Tan Mo waved her hand and left with the bag of snacks in her hand.

Wei Zhiqian only took off after seeing Tan Mo go through the main entrance.

At first, her mood was still good as she strolled on the campus.

Soon after, she picked up on the onlookers odd stares with unusual expressions directed at her.

All of them had peculiar looks and gazes while looking at her as if she was a freak.

After walking past them, she turned back to peer at them.

At once, she noticed the students in groups whispered something in each others ears.

One of them turned their eyes on her after murmuring for a while but was met with her stare.

Overwhelmed with guilt, that person immediately averted their gaze in anxiety.

Meanwhile, the whole group of students dashed off the scene as quickly as they could.

With that, Tan Mo concluded that these people were talking about her.

Otherwise, why would they peep at her and become self-conscious after she noticed their look?

Sensing something amiss, Tan Mo decided to ask Meng Yuxi and Jin Yuelin about it.

Ming Yeqing and Qin Muye were still in Xiangnan City. Their groups progress was slightly slower than the Jiaoyuan group, so they would only be back on the following day.

Right then, she was added to a WeChat group.

After checking it out, she noticed that only three were in the groupMeng Yuxi, Jin Yuelin, and herself.

Meng Yuxi sent a link to a post on the Beijing University forum and remarked, Tan Mo, theres a new post updated on the forum. We just saw it a while ago. It was posted around half an hour ago.

Jin Yuelin commented, This post has a lot of views.

Tan Mo was well-known on the campus. Hence, it was natural for her to attract a lot of attention.

Any gossip about her would obviously have an enormous amount of views.

Meng Yuxi said, Please read it up first. Although its not a big matter, its not something trivial either. Having rumors about us circulating can be very annoying, especially when people are talking behind our backs.

Jin Yuelin added, Thats right. All the students on our campus know about your family background. Thats why there have been no negative comments about you looking for a sugar daddy or something like that thus far. But some degenerates were saying things like you were sleeping with some guy outside.

Meng Yuxi said, This is a modern society where people pursue the freedom to love. Its completely normal to spend a night with some guy outside or live together with one. Still, its irritating to think were topics of peoples gossips. For example, they would talk behind people about person A having a one-night stand with person B, how someone dated a guy or girl, or some random dudes bragging about sleeping with their girlfriends and the likes.

All of them are an uncivilized bunch, be it the person who boasted or those who badmouthed others, Meng Yuxi added. Ever since the post about you was updated, many people have been mouthing off at you.

Let me have a look. Tan Mo could keep her cool as she had not read the content of the post yet.

Pressing the link, she realized it was an article about Wei Zhiqian taking her back to the campus in the morning after the night she spent at his apartment nearby. That night, after she delivered dinner to his company, she could not enter her dormitory as it was already past the curfew.

The first image was taken after Tan Mo got out of Wei Zhiqians car.

His face could not be seen in the picture since he remained inside.

The second one was taken when she was walking on the first floor of the dormitory building.

The third one showed her wearing the same outfit as she left the campus with Ming Yeqing and Qin Muye.

Even though the sky was still bright in the photo, one could tell that it was already at dusk.

That picture had more noise than the second one. It was most likely due to the fast-approaching nightfall and the shooting distance.

It looked like a photo that was taken from a far distance. The three of them would be enlarged after the unwanted part was cropped out.

Following the images was the main article.

The first picture was taken after Tan Mo got out of a luxury car the following day.

The second one was taken when she returned to the dormitory after getting out of the car.

Meanwhile, the third one was taken the night before when she left the campus with her friends.

Please note that she wore the same attire, the second image, as when she left the campus with her friends, the third image.

It could only mean that she didnt change her clothes after spending a night outside.

Here, most of us knew that she was born with a silver spoon in her mouththe daughter whose father owned Tanyue Homeware. Obviously, her home was here within the city.

Some of you might say that she went back to her residence since it was nearby.

Ive already seen this coming. So please allow me to ask a question. If she went back to her abode, then why would she wear the same outfit as the day before?

She probably had tons of clothes back in her home. Even in the campus dormitory, she would not wear the same outfit two days consecutively. She would change them every day.

So, what did that mean? Tell me, what could the reason possibly be except that she did not go home but spent the night outside?

It could be a hotel or something where a change of clothes wasnt available.

Why would she spend a night in a hotel?

The first thing that came into mind was the luxury car that sent her back.

Despite being a junior year student, she just turned 18 not long ago.

She was indeed highly sought after if Id to say.

Many guys on our campus couldnt wait to pursue her once she became an adult. But who wouldve thought that she was dating someone already?

In fact, she even spent a night outside with that lucky guy.

Many pleasure-seekers left their comments below the article.

Some of them logged in from gaming cafes, so it was useless even if their IP addresses were traced back.

Many students frequented gaming cafes every day. How could one sniff out the person who left the comment even if they could track the location through the IP address?

Some remarks were disgusting even to read them.

First comment: I wonder who got her first blood?

The second comment replied to the first: Thats a bad way of putting it. How can you be sure that it was her first time?

The third comment replied to the second: I mean, youre not wrong. Spending a night with some rando right after she turned 18. Who knows what she had been doing when she was underage Huehuehue!

The fourth comment: Ive heard rumors about the complicated lives of the rich kids. Now, I see what they mean.

The 11th comment: Hey, whats with all your nasty comments?

The 15th comment: The OP is the worst! Even if Tan Mo was spending a night with her boyfriend outside, what does that have to do with you? Who are you to gossip about peoples lives?

The 26th comment: Wow! I never knew so many of you who are well-educated top students are actually a bunch of hypocrites who would spew such hideous words on the Internet. To think that you would even dare to leave such unsightly and misogynistic remarks.

After reading the comments, Tan Mo noticed that they were split into two sides.

The first group was those pleasure-seekers who left sarcastic and obscene remarks.

The other group could not stand the ones who left mean comments.

The ratio between the two sides was relatively balanced.

Tan Mo did not expect to see so many comments talking about her.
