“Oh my god, how can Lu Zhen be so shameless! Our Ghost is only 17 years old.
She’s already so old. Why did she come to harm our Ghost!”
“Wait, Lu Zhen seems to be quite young. She only debuted early…”
“That’s not the point! The point is that she’s not qualified to be Ghost’s girlfriend. Moreover, dating will definitely affect the level of the game. She’s delaying our Ghost from winning the World Championship next year!”
“You’re right. It’s obvious that she seduced Ghost. How can there be such a disgusting person!”
At this moment, Lu Zhen still did not know what had happened. She visited the club for more than half an hour and trained with the professional players until it was dark before preparing to leave.
Ghost was dismayed to see her leaving. He looked like an unhappy golden retriever. If he really had two dog ears, they would definitely droop at this moment.
Lu Zhen thought that Ghost was worried about tomorrow’s competition and patted his shoulder considerately. “Don’t worry, I believe you’ll definitely be the champion!”
When Lu Zhen left the club and returned home, the sky was completely dark. She was about to put on a mask and read when her cell phone rang. After the call connected, Xiaoxiao said anxiously, “Sister Zhenzhen, bad news. Look at the trending topic!”
Lu Zhen frowned and opened her cell phone to log into Weibo. She quickly saw the Weibo post related to her on the trending list—
“God of War’s spokesperson and team member Ghost’s relationship has been exposed. The two of them are intimately interacting and showing off their love!”
After clicking on the news, she could see several photos. Although the pixels were a little blurry, she could tell that it was the scene of Lu Zhen and Ghost interacting at the entrance of the club.
Lu Zhen did not expect someone to secretly take photos of her and the Ghost.
What was worse was that these photos had already circulated on the Internet.
The netizens seemed to believe them without a doubt.
Netizens’ comments about their “relationship” were also polarized—
“She’s an actress. There’s nothing wrong with dating, right? Why can’t beautiful women date?”
“Is this about dating? She kidnapped the team member just because she was a spokesperson? Do you know that these few years are the golden years of Ghost’s gaming career? If his relationship affects him from winning the world championship, who will be responsible?”
“Don’t explain to them. People who aren’t in the esports circle won’t understand at all! I only hope that Ghost can perform well tomorrow. If he doesn’t win the competition, I’ll scold Lu Zhen to death!”
“What kind of thinking do you people in the esports circle have? Why are you scolding Lu Zhen when he loses the game? Could it be that she’s playing games for Ghost? I think you’re the ones who keep fantasizing that Ghost is your boyfriend. Now that her relationship has been made public, you’re too jealous!”
The netizens were arguing on the Internet, but Lu Zhen had a headache. Why were they arguing about this? She and Ghost were clearly not in a relationship!
Lu Zhen thought for a moment and began to type on her phone. She prepared to post an explanation on Weibo. However, before she could finish typing, Song Jia called. As soon as she picked up the call, Lu Zhen heard Song Jia’s low voice. “What happened?”
Lu Zhen didn’t expect him to know about the Internet so quickly. She had just signed a contract with Jia Le and there was already such a scandal. Would Song Jia have a bad impression of her?
Lu Zhen immediately had a headache. She was about to explain when Song Jia said, “Open the door.”
Lu Zhen was stunned. She got up and walked to the door to open it. Outside the door, Song Jia put down his phone and looked at Lu Zhen. “Is the video real?”
Video? Lu Zhen saw the faint anger in Song Jia’s eyes and immediately felt that things seemed to have worsened. He was indeed angry!
Lu Zhen hurriedly explained, “The video isn’t real! No, you can’t say that… Although the video is real, it’s not like what they said. Ghost and I are just ordinary friends!”
“Ordinary friends? Like you and me?” Song Jia’s voice carried a trace of suppressed anger.
The moment Song Jia saw those photos, he felt his mind go blank. In the photo, Lu Zhen and Ghost were so intimate that Lu Zhen even tiptoed to touch Ghost’s head. Now, Lu Zhen told him that Ghost and she were just ordinary friends.
Then why hadn’t she touched his head? Why hadn’t she been that close to him? Song Jia knew that he shouldn’t be angry. It was normal for celebrities to have scandals. There was no need for him to question her in the middle of the night, but he couldn’t help it.
He couldn’t control his concern, couldn’t control the fire of jealousy..
