Reborn As Lucky Star

Du Ruoyan and Jiang Hai are currently shopping at the mall.

Outside the scorching sun blazes, but inside the mall, it's pleasantly cool.

Du Ruoyan picks up a gray elephant handbag and holds it against her shoulder, trying it on.

"How about it, does it look good?"

Jiang Hai smiles at her, a hint of satisfaction appearing on his fair face, as if he's observing prey in his palm.

"How could it not look good on you? Let's go with this one."

Du Ruoyan blooms into a smile and coquettishly gives Jiang Hai a look.

"You're just brushing me off, right? Are you thinking of wrapping this up quickly and not wanting to shop with me?"

Jiang Hai raises an eyebrow, "What are you talking about? If you want to shop, go ahead; I'll get you a whole new outfit, too."

Du Ruoyan beams with joy, just about to act coy to get him under her thumb, when Jiang Hai suddenly takes out his phone.

"I need to take a call."

Du Ruoyan instinctively moves closer, "Is it a guy or a girl?"

"Xiaosun."

Even though Jiang Hai was a bit displeased with Du Ruoyan's action, he didn't say anything, instead showing her the caller ID.

The call connects, and the voice on the other end sounds urgent.

"President, a post has appeared on the forum. It's by Yue Qingqing, about this semester's GPA ranking, claiming the student council is manipulating scores."

Jiang Hai's expression changed the moment he heard Yue Qingqing's name.

Apparently, he remembered the time when Yue Qingqing scammed money from him.

The amount wasn't significant, but it was highly insulting.

As he listened further, his frown deepened.

"Do you still have to ask me about something like this? Just delete the post directly!"

Hearing the anger in Jiang Hai's voice, the man on the other end sounded helpless.

"I can't delete it. It shows insufficient permissions on my end. I even tried Ding Ming's account, but it still didn't work, and his permissions are almost the highest."

Now Jiang Hai finally realized the seriousness of the situation.

"How much traffic does the post have now?"

"It's already over three thousand views. You know there are some visitors from other schools on our forum, and this post has been shared around, increasing the views by the minute."

The man checked again, sounding even more frustrated.

"It's already seven thousand views."

Even Jiang Hai sensed that something was amiss.

"How long has the post been up?"

"Less than half an hour. I found it ten minutes after it was posted, tried to delete it, and when I couldn't, I contacted you."

The view count was clearly unusual.

Although Minghua University's forum isn't deserted, usually during the holidays, not many people log into the school forum; students would rather visit other entertainment forums.

"There's indeed external traffic attraction, but we haven't been able to pinpoint it yet. The other party must be pretty skilled at this."

The man's words reminded Jiang Hai of the time Yue Qingqing quickly found out who posted something.

Clearly, there's a specialist on the other side.

Jiang Hai, being the student council president, isn't without resources.

"Get people to post heavily, create some attention-grabbing titles to drown out this post."

"Understood!"

Xiaosun quickly took the order and left.

Du Ruoyan, unaware of everything, took the shopping bag from the sales assistant, and glanced back at Jiang Hai with a smile.

"Senior, you really went all out again."

Jiang Hai didn't say anything, just put his arm around Du Ruoyan's waist, his hand moving up and down.

Du Ruoyan, clutching the shopping bag, was taken off balance by this unexpected action and ended up leaning against Jiang Hai.

"Senior Jiang!" Du Ruoyan called out softly, but Jiang Hai's hold only tightened.

"Let's go have dinner."

Du Ruoyan sensed that something was off with Jiang Hai's mood, but she couldn't ask more, so she could only let him hold her and walk outside.
