Drama Queen Reborn as a Top Student!-Chapter 972 - 476: Guide, Don’t Block

Accompanied by the cool night breeze, Yan Lu, Shen You’an, Liu Runxi, and Gao Yuyue each took on their roles.

Liu Runxi was skilled and experienced in barbecuing, so he managed the heat.

Gao Yuyue helped out.

Yan Lu and Shen You’an prepared fruits and drinks.

Rong Xianning held a guitar, singing and strumming, creating a lively atmosphere.

The group of young people was lively and bustling, forming a beautiful, warm scene.

Liu Runxi’s grilling speed couldn’t keep up with the group’s ravenous appetite, leaving him sweating and with sore hands at the end.

Rong Xianning walked over and said, "Let me do it, you take a break."

Then Rong Xianning took over at the grill, swapping hands constantly.

Yan Lu grabbed her phone and sneakily snapped a photo of Rong Xianning, whispering to Shen You’an, "If I post this photo online, will Lemons tear me apart?"

Having an idol grill for her must make her the happiest fan in the world.

Shen You’an took a bite of the grilled meat; Liu Runxi’s skills were really good, especially the sauce he crafted, which was the essence.

"You could give it a try."

Yan Lu chuckled, "I’m scared to."

"Yan Lu, you wiped oil on my skirt again, are you asking for trouble?" Gao Yuyue questioned angrily.

"Oh, it was an accident..."

"I think you did it on purpose. Do you know how difficult it was to get this skirt? I asked several friends to bring it from abroad; you owe me a new one..."

The two laughed and wrestled on the lawn.

Liu Runxi sat down beside Shen You’an, who wrapped some grilled meat and handed it to him, "You’ve worked hard."

Liu Runxi shook his head with a smile, took a bite.

He ate very elegantly, with a slow, composed manner like dining on something exquisite.

Not far away, Yan Lu and Gao Yuyue were playfully fighting, rolling around on the lawn, while Rong Xianning was busy at the grill, and nearby were the quiet sounds of a teenager swallowing.

The starry night hung low, the autumn wind was crisp; this moment truly deserved to be recorded.

Shen You’an took out her phone and snapped a photo of the table in front of her.

The table was piled high with plates of grilled meat and half-drunk fruit juices; at first glance, it seemed messy but brimmed with a sense of life.

Shen You’an casually posted the photo on Weibo, accompanied by a ’peace sign’ emoji, with a hint of pride and cuteness.

Zhao Heng had mentioned before that she should occasionally engage with Weibo, as fans were always eager for her to post selfies; if not selfies, lifestyle photos would satisfy them.

Shen You’an had once been extremely popular in her past life, when a single selfie could stir fans for ages, but after being embroiled in scandals, those so-called fans fled faster than antis, leaving her isolated and ridiculed as an example.

Shen You’an understood; back then, her agent had positioned her as a trending beauty, always touting her looks without substantial work, fragile like a bubble.

She believed the best relationship between idols and fans was friendship, not looking up or down, just an equal friendship, fortunate enough to walk a journey together, wanting to share beautiful sights with friends.

Yes, sharing.

Thinking this, Shen You’an checked her phone again, the app had crashed, and the notification bar was flashing with over 99+ messages in red.

Though mentally prepared, Shen You’an was still surprised by the fans’ enthusiasm.

At this moment, Zhao Heng’s call came in, and Shen You’an answered. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

——Oh wow, boss, is Rong Xianning with you there? His shoes got caught in the photo, and it’s on trending again.

Shen You’an opened the photo to take a closer look; Rong Xianning’s shoes were nearly in full frame, blurry in the dark, yet people had identified them.

Deleting or editing the photo now would only highlight what’s already been exposed.

Shen You’an was slightly speechless, "I’ll be more careful next time."

"Isn’t that handsome guy surnamed Liu next to you?"

Shen You’an: "I didn’t capture him."

"You didn’t capture him, but there’s a juice cup next to the table, and a phone; the case has a famous player’s signature, something only guys would use."

Shen You’an: ...

"Are you all using magnifying glasses to inspect every detail?"

She had just casually snapped a photo, and with the dim lighting, many things were blurred; nobody expected someone to scrutinize it so closely.

"Don’t underestimate fans. Each is like Sherlock reincarnated; you’ve learned your lesson today. If you had little popularity no one cares, but you underestimated your own popularity and attention; within five minutes, the likes, shares, and comments surpassed ten thousand, rivaling top-tier stars."

Shen You’an sighed, lying back in a rocking chair, gazing up at the sky.

"Fame comes with its own troubles."

Zhao Heng continued, "Well, luckily, your image is well-established, lots of people enjoy your couple interactions; no negative remarks for now. Still, what are you and those two handsome guys doing out so late?"

Shen You’an: "We’re having a team-building event."

Zhao Heng chuckled, "Seems interesting."

"Go away." Shen You’an hung up.

Weibo was working again, but the data kept increasing wildly; Shen You’an glanced at the comment section.

——Grilled meat, is it a team event? Then why did you separate at the end; trying to hide it?

——Ahhh, what did I see? Those white shoes are Rong Xianning’s, the branded ones he endorsed, unmistakable even when blurry.

——Rong Xianning wouldn’t be grilling, right? The thought is unimaginable.

Shen You’an quickly exited.

Liu Runxi’s gentle voice reached her ears: "What’s wrong?"

Shen You’an, amused yet exasperated: "On trending again."

She turned to Rong Xianning and said, "Sorry for involving you."

Who would’ve thought a casually taken photo would cause such a stir.

Rong Xianning brought over grilled meat, and after understanding the whole situation, he suggested, "Let’s take a group photo of the five of us."

It’s better to guide than to resist; fighting public opinion against the crowd rarely works.

Following Shen You’an’s photo hitting trending again, couple fans went crazy, searching for more sweet moments.

Thirty minutes later, Rong Xianning’s eternally dormant Weibo updated.

He posted a group photo.

Three girls sat on the lawn, Shen You’an in the center, flanked by Yan Lu and Gao Yuyue, both embracing Shen You’an, close and intimate. The three beauties were radiant even under the night, especially Shen You’an, whose beauty was breathtaking, eternal.

Behind the three were two tall young men, both wearing simple clothing. The boy on the left had strikingly handsome features and a slight smile—a sight to behold.

The boy on the right wore a cool expression, with outstanding features despite his detached demeanor, like a distant snow moon atop an unreachable peak, his deep eyes like the expansive starry sky.

A group photo featuring top-tier boys and girls, layered with a vintage filter, framed against a starry backdrop, evokes a timeless journey through time.

Rong Xianning captioned: "Team-building in progress."

He added the same emoji as Shen You’an did.
