Meanwhile, right as Ning Ran reached the entrance, she received a particularly “grand” welcome.

When Shi Jie's fan club received news about the music video, they arranged for a group of die-hard fans to make a white banner protesting against the making of a music video with Ning Ran and Shi Jie in it.

On those banners were words like: Don't let the crone ride Shi's coattails!

Give Shi back! Don't taint him!

Your shamelessness will be your downfall! Get lost, crone!

The banner looked frightening, and anyone would have thought that they were protesting something more serious.

Those people were kept outside the school compound by security, and since they could not see their favorite star, they became even more agitated and loud.

When Ning Ran's car drove past them, they waved their banners and their fists. Some even pointed their middle fingers at the car.

Alas, they were actually unsure which car was Ning Ran's, so they pointed their middle finger at every car that went into the school.

Worried that Ning Ran would be affected by their behavior, Wang Xiaoou quietly consoled her by saying, “Most of Shi Jie's fans are kids. They're minors, so don't take their behavior to heart.”

Ning Ran was unbothered, however. In fact, she found their banners and the words amusing. She had heard of many things being the key to someone's downfall, but she rarely came across people criticizing another's shamelessness as the other person's downfall.

There are so many shameless people in this world. Are you saying all those shameless people will end up terrible?

Empty heads, rashness, and childishness were the main features of young people, but Ning Ran did not think of them as anything. People who were still young like them did not need to bear many responsibilities—they merely needed to love and hate in simple terms.

“I don't mind,” Ning Ran muttered, smiling and shaking her head. “They have the right to express their opinions. Stars become stars with the support of their fans. I don't think it matters to me that they're going up against me to support Shi.”
