"Sister Qiqi, please, I beg you not to look." Zhou Lan pleaded fearfully, hoping to protect Su Qiqi from getting hurt.
Seeing Zhou Lan's earnest face, Su Qiqi was slightly moved, but reason quickly overcame emotion.
"Zhou Lan, I'm an adult. I can handle unexpected situations on my own."
"But..."
Zhou Lan wanted to continue her pleas, but found herself at a loss for words. Su Qiqi's confident assertion had left Zhou unsure.
After a long deliberation, Zhou Lan reluctantly conceded, "Okay, go ahead and look. Just remember, Sister Qiqi, not a single thing those people are saying is true."
Su Qiqi nodded and took out her phone.
As she browsed for a while with a frown, Zhou Lan grew anxious, thinking that Su Qiqi was unable to handle it. "Sister Qiqi, those rumors are all lies. Don't take them to heart."
Su Qiqi curtly stopped her, pushing her cell phone towards Zhou, "What happened?"
