“did you see that?” song jia first confirmed if lu zhen had seen the message he sent.

“yes, i saw it.” lu zhen’s voice was dry.

“i’m sorry. after the message was sent, there were too many comments. i was worried that if i didn’t explain immediately, the netizens would misunderstand, so i called you now,” song jia explained considerately. misunderstanding? his message was a huge misunderstanding, okay?

“it’s fine,” lu zhen said.

“are you angry? i’m sorry that i didn’t discuss it with you in advance.” song jia’s voice was already very pleasant, but it sounded even deeper and more magnetic on the phone.

lu zhen was not angry. this matter was her own problem. now that song jia had done so much for her, she should actually thank him.

“how did you think of this?” lu zhen regretted asking. there seemed to be no point in asking now.

“because i saw the netizens say that you cheated on me and treated me as a victim. i’m naturally not a victim, so i think it’s more appropriate for me to clarify.” song jia’s tone was even and his voice was steady. it sounded very businesslike.

affected by song jia’s attitude, lu zhen was no longer so embarrassed. “thank you for helping me. the situation should be much better now, but will the netizens disturb you? after all, you’re not a public figure. if they say something strange, you don’t have to reply to them.”

“it’s okay. i’m not as fragile as you think.”

lu zhen felt that song jia might have smiled when he said this. she imagined song jia’s smile.

the two of them fell silent. a moment later, song jia broke the silence. “i know that we’re not in a relationship, but i think if you have a virtual boyfriend, it might be much less troublesome. if you agree, i won’t cancel that account. in the future, when you need it, i’ll post the content on that account as a virtual boyfriend. what do you think?”

lu zhen was stunned. a virtual boyfriend? was there such an identity?

however, song jia was right. with the identity of a virtual boyfriend, many of lu zhen’s scandals could be resolved by themselves. sometimes, people did not pay attention to the truth and were just willing to believe what others told them.

“wouldn’t that be too troublesome for you?” lu zhen subconsciously felt that this was not good, but she was in trouble now and felt that song jia’s suggestion was indeed not bad.

“no. after all, if something happens to you, it will be the company’s business. even if we don’t use this method to resolve the problem, we have to think of another way. why don’t we choose a simple and convenient method?” song jia’s tone sounded like he was only discussing work with lu zhen.

lu zhen hesitated for a moment and nodded softly. “then keep that account.”

lu zhen originally wanted to remind song jia not to post those words again. this way, the netizens i misunderstanding might become deeper. in the future, when she goes out to participate in events, others might even interview her. “why is your relationship with your boyfriend so good?”

how was she going to deal with this?

however, lu zhen was too embarrassed to say such a thing. after all, song jia was helping her. she was really shameless if she were to be picky.

forget it, she will think about it later.

after hanging up, lu zhen was a little curious about how the comments section under the account had developed, but she did not dare to look, afraid that she would become more and more embarrassed.

after hesitating for two seconds, she still did not look at the comments section.

at night, xiaoxiao bought some fresh vegetables and fruits from the supermarket. the two of them carried their things home and made two simple dishes and a pot of millet porridge. while eating, ye xuan called. after the call was picked up, ye xuan looked at lu zhen with a strange smile.

lu zhen looked at ye xuan’s smile and felt her scalp tingle. “what are you laughing at?”

“it’s nothing. i just didn’t expect your relationship with song jia to develop to this extent.” ye xuan retracted her strange smile, but her eyes were filled with mockery.

“don’t laugh at me. i don’t want this either.” lu zhen sighed.

“actually, this is quite good. you’re getting more and more popular now, and more and more people will be jealous of you. when you fight with those top celebrities for resources in the future, this kind of thing will become more and more frequent. it’s a good thing to have a boyfriend to block a portion of the knives for you,” ye xuan analyzed very calmly.

lu zhen was stunned.

she made it sound as if being her boyfriend would be miserable, he even had to take the knife for her?
