Under Lu Huai's sequential inspection, there actually were a few guys who secretly used Xueyan's photo as their wallpaper. Lu Huai was so angry he deleted them all and changed them to a photo of himself glaring menacingly.
Wei Zhili and a group of brothers looked silently at Lu Huai's large headshot currently glaring at them on their wallpapers, thinking to themselves that this brother-con (brother complex) attribute of Lu Huai's was truly becoming increasingly domineering.
In the future, when Xueyan grows up and dates someone or whatever, wouldn't Lu Huai have to directly transform?
"Um, excuse me for interrupting, Lu Huai…"
Just as Lu Huai was snorting coldly, he was suddenly and carefully poked from behind.
Lu Huai, having no time to switch his expression, turned his head and found that the ones who came looking for him this time were actually a few girls from the class!
This made all the classmates in the class look over. To be honest, Lu Huai's popularity had always been very high, but Lu Huai was never seen getting close to any girl, let alone dating.
Although according to Wei Zhili's observation, consideration, and analysis, the fundamental reason might be because this kid Lu Huai was extremely narcissistic, feeling that the girls in the class weren't even as handsome as he was!
"What is it…?"
But towards girls, Lu Huai's attitude was still much gentler, at least not sweeping away fallen leaves with the autumn wind like he did to Wei Zhili and the others.
"Um, Lu Huai, we saw your and your brother's live stream last night, and we also seem to have seen Xueyan!"
"Yes, I remember during the autumn outing Xueyan really liked these pretty little pastries. It just so happened my mom made pastries for me yesterday, so she casually prepared an extra portion. I wonder if you could help bring it to Xueyan."
Lu Huai looked at the pretty pastry box in front of him, then looked at the slightly nervous female classmate before him. He judged the coefficient of her having ulterior motives was probably not high; she probably just purely liked Xueyan.
After a long while, he said "Oh, Then I will say thank you on behalf of my brother."
Actually, Lu Huai was a bit unaccustomed to it. He always felt this kind of friendly and cordial classmate interaction wasn't something he should experience.
Wei Zhili nearby sneered while looking at Lu Huai, feeling this belonged to typical "brother rising in value because of younger brother"!
"You're welcome, actually we all miss Xueyan a little bit!"
"Yes, yes, Lu Huai, can you bring Xueyan over to play during the class activities next year?"
Seeing Lu Huai's attitude was quite gentle, many girls finally couldn't help but ask.
Actually, compared to the boys who only dared to secretly follow the live stream out of embarrassment, any girl who paid attention to the live stream last night couldn't possibly not be overwhelmed by the little guy's cuteness!
The key point was, as Lu Huai's classmates in the same class, seeing those netizens leaving comments praising Xueyan gave them an inexplicable sense of pride, who understands?
We are people who have seen Xueyan up close in real life, he is a hundred times cuter than looking through a screen!
Especially the little guy's skin, it was so white there wasn't a single flaw. When he opened his big eyes wide and stared at you, it could melt your heart.
And when playing peek-a-boo, softly calling older brothers and older sisters, it was simply explosively cute!
"What, you all miss my brother this much… cough cough, then let me think about it, maybe there will be a chance soon."
Actually, praising Xueyan made Lu Huai feel even better than praising Lu Huai himself. Now, being surrounded and praised, Lu Huai's fur was instantly smoothed, and he even started to show off.
Indicating that if there was a chance, they could try again.
It was just that this time he couldn't put him in his schoolbag, otherwise Lu Huai felt his little life would be forfeit.
Speaking of which, one thing that surprised Lu Huai was that despite the massive traffic and popularity last night, not a single classmate in the class casually uploaded the photos of Xueyan from the previous autumn outing to the internet.
"Of course we cannot upload photos casually. The parents haven't agreed, so we naturally couldn't casually post Xueyan's photos online."
A girl explained with a smile.
"Right, it's just that some comments make people a bit angry, saying things like the little guy doesn't show his face because his full face is too ugly to be seen, it's simply ridiculously outrageous!"
Everyone enthusiastically stood up against the injustice, making Lu Huai scratch his head, not knowing how to respond under the gaze of a group of brothers behind him. Except for Xiao Hua, who was staring at Lu Huai from a distance, feeling a bit unwilling.
When did this guy Lu Huai's popularity become so good? Weren't everyone in the class very afraid of Lu Huai before? This kind of second-generation heir who only knows how to flaunt his wealth actually has the nerve to pretend to be so innocent.
And Lu Huai, being surrounded and praising Xueyan like this, became so complacent that he accidentally missed the morning reading class. Naturally, he also failed to go up to the podium, drop harsh words, and find that guy who posted photos of his test paper.
Except when turning around, he happened to lock eyes with Xiao Hua, who was avoiding his gaze, causing Lu Huai to frown fiercely.
Speaking of which, since the guy who exposed his test paper had a photo of the test paper, it meant there was a high probability it was someone in the class.
Then if it was someone in the class, why did the other party only post the photo of his test paper, and not take the opportunity to also post the photos of Xueyan from that autumn outing?
Would the other party be so kind-hearted, specifically to protect the cub's privacy, and only target me? Or was it that that guy simply didn't have photos from the autumn outing?
Leaning against the back of his chair, Lu Huai spun the pen in his hand, his expression uncharacteristically gloomy as he fell into deep thought, his gaze fixed motionlessly on Xiao Hua.
Then the one who deliberately sneaked away that day and only ran back to wander around at the very end when it was almost over, seemed to be only one person.
This made Wei Zhili and the others feel someone was about to be unlucky. [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] Usually, when Lu Huai wanted to beat someone up, he had this expression. In the eyes of the male brothers, this style was simply too cool! It was just that after Lu Huai gradually "turned over a new leaf" to become a brother-con, he hadn't been like this for a long time.
To everyone's surprise, homeroom teacher Shen Huimin actually also took the initiative to mention this matter about Lu Huai when class was about to end.
"Everyone might also more or less know that a prominent figure recently emerged from our class. But as a teacher, one point I want to say is, our Class One is always a collective, everyone should have this sense of collective honor. And not when a classmate encounters something, drop stones on someone who has fallen into a well (kick someone when they are down), go online to spread negative news, and even leak others' privacy."
Teacher Shen Huimin's words were quite profoundly meaningful. When speaking, she also patrolled the whole class with her gaze, and didn't individually mention any classmate. But this made Lu Huai freeze for a moment, and then feel somewhat overwhelmed by the unexpected favor. Because even he noticed that the homeroom teacher was clearly speaking up for him!
Lu Huai previously thought the homeroom teacher would only pay attention to those top students, and moreover, the homeroom teacher actually also surfed the internet? Therefore, as soon as Shen Huimin returned to the office, she found the tall and sturdy Lu Huai following not far behind her with a pretend-it's-nothing, awkward expression. This made Shen Huimin almost break her usually serious expression and laugh.
"The class monitor told me about this matter, and only then did I know. After all, everyone's scores are indeed privacy. No one has any reason to arbitrarily publish them online to guide cyberbullying."
Without waiting for Lu Huai to speak, Teacher Shen Huimin faintly explained.
"Class Monitor? Liu Han? She would actually speak up for me?"
Lu Huai was truly shocked. Liu Han, whose personality was somewhat abhorring evil as a deadly foe, had always previously looked at him and Wei Zhili's group of brothers with super displeasure, although she hadn't said anything on the surface.
Lu Huai had always thought that in the other party's eyes, he, Wei Zhili, and the others were that "evil".
"Of course, she also really likes Xueyan, right? Last autumn outing, wasn't she always accompanying Xueyan to play? Towards you, this older brother, she might be loving the house and its crow (loving someone and everything related to them)."
Homeroom teacher Shen Huimin laughed.
Lu Huai put his hands in his pockets with a strange expression, his head full of Wei Zhili's phrase "brother rising in value because of younger brother".
Could it be I truly ascended to heaven like this?
"Shh, Brother Huai is back…"
However, as soon as Lu Huai returned, he saw Wei Zhili and their group of people seemingly very nervous.
Lu Huai suspiciously patrolled around, checking and finding that everyone's lock screen and wallpaper were still him, and hadn't been changed to Xueyan. Only then did he nod in satisfaction.
Absolutely not allowing this group of messy guys who aren't even diligent about taking showers to use my younger brother's photo as their wallpaper!
Only after Lu Huai was no longer paying attention here did Wei Zhili reveal a trace of a smug smile.
Hehe, so-called the higher-ups have policies, the lower-downs have countermeasures. Lu Huai's tyrannical methods clearly couldn't stop everyone from inhaling the cub.
Just now when Lu Huai was away, the girls enthusiastically shared a piece of grapevine news, which was that ever since last night's live stream, several major fans of Lu Li truly opened a small forum sub-board under Lu Li's personal site called "Little Pear Orchard", specifically used to share various cute things related to the little pear.
Although privately publishing cub photos including screenshots was still not allowed inside, there were various drawn fan arts and secondary creations.
Especially an input method skin that was simply explosively cute. When typing, a Q-version cub would occasionally pop his little head out from the side to peek at you.
But if you moved the mouse over, the little pear would instantly blush and hide, leaving only a single ahoge (cowlick) in place.
Clicking again with the mouse would even make the ahoge hide.
If you wanted to see the cub pop his head out for a second time, you could only wait patiently. It was completely fatally cute.
The download volume of just this one input method file package had already reached tens of thousands overnight.
"My god, Lu Huai Third Brother's fans are way too awesome, right? In just one night they came up with so many bizarrely cute things!?"
A group of classmates watched in amazement. Could this be the secondary creation combat power of a big star's fans?!
The consequence of strolling around this mysterious forum sub-board was that everyone coincidentally joined a group order and placed orders for N identical little pear hats like Xueyan's. This was also currently the most popular single item merchandise.
"Haha, you bought it too?"
"What, making it sound like you didn't buy it…"
Everyone smiled at each other awkwardly, feeling this place definitely couldn't let Lu Huai know.
And today at kindergarten, Xueyan indeed received high attention from the whole class.
"Xueyan— My mommy said you are also a little star now! There are so so many people online who like you!"
Louis scampered over and kept staring at Xueyan, feeling he looked prettier the more he looked, his heart bubbling with beauty, feeling Xueyan was just meant to be a star!
"I am not a little star!"
Xueyan hurriedly explained upon hearing this:
"Brother said if little friends become stars, they will be stolen away by people."
"What!? [Read on RanaTranslations🌸] Who dares to steal you! Not even I have stolen you away yet…"
Louis became somewhat furious upon hearing this, realizing he hadn't thought of this point.
"Quiet down Louis, go sit in your seat!"
Teacher Jiang Xian, with sharp eyes and quick hands, forcibly sent Louis back to the safe zone right as Pei Shuo nearby was on the verge of erupting.
"Just like the right to privacy Zhiang mentioned before, the price of becoming a public figure is very high. For example, there will be various people online discussing you, even criticizing you. So, it all needs to be thought through clearly in advance before deciding."
Teacher Jiang Xian ruthlessly poured a basin of cold water on this group of career fan cubs in the class who attempted to turn Xueyan into a little star.
She also followed this trending search last night, and could only say Xueyan's Third Brother truly had a very stable mindset. Some of the things said by those messy anti-fans in the live stream room made even her unable to stand looking at them, feeling as uncomfortable as being pricked by needles.
"If Xueyan becomes a star, what do we do if there are various discussions online, everyone agree? So we need to protect our Xueyan. You can all appropriately remind your parents not to publish some of Xueyan's photos or remarks online…"
Teacher Jiang Xian patted Louis's little head.
"No, I will let them leave comments however they want. Any dissatisfactions can be spoken out."
As a result, Pei Shuo nearby suddenly uncharacteristically spoke up expressionlessly.
All the cubs instantly looked over in shock, not expecting this time Pei Shuo to actually be so open-minded!?
Even Xueyan blinked his big eyes ignorantly and looked at Pei Shuo.
"Then delete them all at once, and confiscate all their phones too. This way no one will dare to go online and say Xueyan is bad anymore."
Immediately following, Pei Shuo faintly finished the second half of his sentence. His hands were even already helping Xueyan pack up the notebook and props for the upcoming recitation practice.
Teacher Jiang Xian, who had never published such remarks, felt a wave of ominous premonition for the phone in her pocket upon hearing this.
If this one ran off to become Xueyan's fan club president, wouldn't it completely be those who submit to Xueyan prosper, and those who oppose Xueyan perish?
