Chapter 226 - 226 Preparation and Chance Encounter with Gu Li_l
“Miss Gu Li looks so beautiful without makeup, like a fairy, so pure.”
“I thought she was very beautiful when she was on the show, but in person, she’s even more gorgeous. God really isn’t fair, how can she have both beauty and talent?”
“More than just beauty and talent? I think being able to help a stranger, Miss Gu Li must have a kind heart.”
“Yes, yes. But the way she looks with makeup on the show, compared to the video footage of her saving someone today, they’re like two different people.”
The girls chatted about Gu Li without realizing that the person they were talking about was right there in a corner nearby, munching on sunflower seeds.
But now, seeing that she was trending, Gu Li wasn’t really in the mood for sunflower seeds.
What happened?
She pulled her hat down and checked Weibo on her phone.
Mo Shiting moved closer to her, using his tall figure to shield her from outside views while looking down at her phone.
Gu Li logged into the “A Sweet Pear” account and sure enough, she saw her name among the top 30 trending topics.

Upon clicking the topic, it turned out that a video of her performing first aid had been recorded by a netizen and posted on Weibo.
At first, nobody recognized that the main character in the video was her until the makeup artist of “Charming Female Stars” — who was in charge of doing Gu Li’s makeup—retweeted the netizen’s post, praising “@MissGuLi for her beautiful heart and appearance”.
This then caused a stir.
In fact, the makeup artist meant well. After all, who wouldn’t want their good deeds to be known?
But her well-intentioned action had now put Gu Li in a difficult position.
She had no desire to be a celebrity and certainly didn’t want her private life to be scrutinized. So, she decided to message Da Ha to downplay the fuss.
After communicating with Da Ha, Gu Li finally turned her head to Mo Shiting, “Luckily, we noticed it quickly. Otherwise, it would have been a hassle for me to go out in the future.”
Mo Shiting held her hand in his palm and gently squeezed, “Do you need help?”
Gu Li shook her head, “No need, it’s a trivial matter, I’ll leave it to Da Ha.”
In the future, Da Ha would be fully responsible for running Shi Li Entertainment. With actions like article removal and trend suppression, it might as well be a regular part of the job for him, so it was good practice.
Meanwhile, the young people waiting for their meals around them were still enthusiastically discussing her. Some of Gu Li’s fans even directly ran to the cinema downstairs hoping to encounter her.
Never expecting that everyone would be so interested in her, Gu Li unconsciously pulled her hat down to diminish her presence.
Seeing this, Mo Shiting proposed, “Why don’t we eat at home?”
“No! No! No!”
Little Pear shook her head vehemently and then playfully winked, “Nothing can stop my pursuit of good food. Brother Ting, guess how much I can eat in a hot pot meal?”
Mo Shiting: “A whole cow.”
Gu Li: “…”
Not quite that much.
Facing a delicious hot pot, if you don’t have some self-control, you’ll inevitably end up feeling uncomfortably full.
That’s exactly what happened to Gu Li.
As she walked out of the commercial center she touched her bloated stomach and said to Mo Shiting, “Brother Ting, I ate too much and feel uncomfortable now. Let’s walk around.”
Mo Shiting nodded, “Okay.”
He followed up, “Where do you want to go?”
“Just anywhere nearby.”
Just as Gu Li finished speaking, her cell phone rang. Da Ha was calling.
“Boss, I just managed to suppress the heat on one end when on another end, you’re trending for scandals.”
