Chapter 155

Why does Qing Bao have so few Weibo?

Before the Green Eyed Cat could continue thinking, the nine-grid wedding photos at the bottom of the screen caused her brain to freeze and her thoughts to stagnate.

Volume 1: Chapter 151. Tang Liuli discovers the truth, the promise between father and daughter.

The first image on Weibo.

That person, as if blessed by the gods, donned a flawless wedding dress symbolizing her union with another.

Chu Yuanqing's exquisite eyebrows and eyes were sacred and solemn. When her clear, lake-like eyes were lowered, her pink lips seemed to be extending an invitation. She was held in the arms of a girl who was also dressed in a wedding dress, but she did not show any resistance. Instead, she showed a happy smile.

Tang Liuli's brain trembled, her thoughts froze, and her gaze fell to the one in the center of the nine-square grid. There, two people were kissing in the rain like lovers. The transparent umbrella, reflecting the dim light, just happened to block the point where their lips touched, making it ambiguous and romantic.

The other photos further highlight the sweet intimacy of the couple: sharing a drink through two straws, gazing tenderly at each other with smiles; sitting on soft grass, snuggling together like children, blowing bubbles, showing off their happiness to friends and family; or...

Green Eyed Cat panicked and her defenses crumbled. She never expected that the Sakura Girl who seemed to have won by far had actually filmed an advertisement for neodymium-coated wedding dresses with her sweetheart in secret!

Tang Liuli was furious like never before, feeling a mix of jealousy and resentment. The exhilarating feeling she had just experienced, like "The tide is rising on the Qiantang River, and only today do I realize who I am," was instantly overwhelmed by a twisted pain, her heart overflowing with bitterness and resentment.

To be honest, even if Xie Qingxuan, Ji Shuzhu, and Chen Yining were the three people who filmed this advertisement with Chu Yuanqing, her emotions wouldn't be fluctuating so intensely. But the other person just happened to be Kiriwake Yayoi, who was on the same team as her.

Hey, everyone's in the same group, why are you so lucky to be dragged along to shoot a wedding dress endorsement with Qing Bao? And a bronze one at that!

This is manipulation! This is unfair! This is malicious control! I'm going to report that damned red-eyed rabbit!

The Green Eyed Cat felt increasingly aggrieved, but unwilling to show any shame, it stubbornly comforted itself:

"Hmph... It's just a wedding dress endorsement! Wedding dresses... I'll be able to wear one with Qing Mom sooner or later!"

"Those... those photos were all staged for the endorsement effect. The kissing and stuff were definitely just optical illusions. Qing Mom definitely wouldn't like it; they don't look like a good match at all!"

As Tang Liuli spoke, she sniffled, trying hard to hold back her emotions. Her emerald green eyes were misty with tears, like a quiet forest about to be hit by a storm. She was almost about to cry from grievance.

No, I absolutely mustn't cry! Wouldn't that be admitting defeat?

Green Eyed Cat rallied her spirits and decided to use her alternate account, disguised as a die-hard Solo Fan of Qing Bao, to wreak havoc on that hateful Sakura Girl in the comments section, in order to soothe her emotions.

Tang Liuli's beautiful, slender fingers moved like butterflies flitting among flowers as she switched accounts to follow Chu Yuanqing's Weibo account. She quickly clicked into the endorsement Weibo with hundreds of thousands of comments, deciding to first tactically observe the comment section to see if there were any like-minded comrades.

"Waaaaah, the ad is so sweet! Those few minutes felt like watching a short film. These two wedding dresses really brought out the charm of these two beautiful girls to the fullest; every frame was a visual feast! I want this couple to stay together forever!!!"

"Who understands? Qing Bao and Yayoi are such a perfect match, especially the scene where she takes off her veil and puts it back on. An advertisement perfectly captures both the tragic and happy endings of a couple. It's amazing!"

"Didn't anyone praise the scene where Chu Yuanqing, wearing a battle-damaged wedding dress, barefoot and with the hem of her skirt submerged by the tide, plays the guitar alone? It was so poignant, yet the notes she played were so passionate and intense, like a steadfast guardian of dawn. So cool and fierce, she was absolutely stunning!"

"Same as above, I've already captured those few seconds and set them as my live wallpaper."

"To be honest, Qing Bao is an amateur, Little Sakura is a bottom-tier idol in Island Nation. They've never acted before. The fact that they could film something so natural, expressing every emotion so delicately and touchingly, suggests that something must have been a little off-screen as well."

"Others may not know, Little Sakura is definitely acting strangely. It feels like she doesn't hide anything at all. When she defeated the Great Demon King, she chose Chu Yuanqing without saying a word, and didn't even glance at anyone else from beginning to end. It's just too adorable!"

"Something's not right? Be bold! They can kiss in public on screen, what else can they do in private? Do you think Little Sakura wanted to take Qing Bao back? Because dorms are assigned by team, and once she got her back, she could just kiss and have sex at night???"

The Green Eyed Cat grew increasingly agitated and almost cried from anger.

Holy crap, what kind of comments are these? They're all just lewd and obscene talk about her Qing Mom! They have absolutely no manners! And the worst part is, the object of their fantasies is that Sakura Girl!

I'm furious! Where are all the solo stans, Qing Mom's Solo Fan fans? Show some of your Combat Power in the entertainment industry! How did you let these stupid CP fans, who only know how to ship couples, take over the moral high ground?

Although the endorsement of neodymium copper wedding dresses, along with a large number of CP fans, added a lot of buffs to this Weibo, as an idol who normally attracts fans through strength and appearance, the number of fans under his command must be a large number of pure fans, followed by solo fans, and even more extreme Solo Fan fans.

Simply put, Chu Yuanqing's large number of normal fans would theoretically not tolerate the comment section becoming so "chaotic," with only two out of every seven comments being normal, because it's too much of a rip-off and exploitative.

Imagine you're an ordinary fan of Chu Yuanqing, someone who didn't know or even liked Kiriwake Yayoi. But if you just browse through Weibo comment section, you'll most likely be piqued by these comments and become very curious about Kiriwake Yayoi is.

Over time, people will start to learn about each other, even follow each other on Weibo, and eventually switch allegiances to become fans.

This phenomenon illustrates how classic methods of attracting traffic through bundling ultimately lead to exploitation.

In other words, Kiriwake Yayoi is also very popular, with her Weibo followers increasing rapidly, estimated to be around seven or eight million. This makes this kind of pairing a mutually beneficial arrangement; otherwise, the matter would be even more sensitive.

Tang Liuli was very confused. She decided to hold back and carefully read through the comments section, ignoring all the stupid cherry blossom supporters, to see if she could find the answer.

Yes, it's definitely not because I'm afraid of being scolded by CP fans and made to cry after receiving "bad comments"!

After scrolling for a while, the Green Eyed Cat finally saw a comment that was like a ray of hope.

"Waaaaah, as a die-hard fan who wants Qing Bao to be the only one who shines, seeing this kind of comment section is so annoying???"

Tang Liuli was overjoyed, considering him a kindred spirit, and decided to immediately type a reply. However, after clicking on the reply, she saw a bunch of replies and discussions.

"There's no other way, so let's just bear with it. This is Qing Bao's first endorsement. With her current size and experience, getting an endorsement of this level is purely a perk from Flash Dance. Let's not start any trouble here."

"That's right. Once this starts, who knows if the brands will have objections?"

"The Little Idol we're promoting has such a troubled background. Nobody knows how far she can go in <Flash Dance>. What if she gets eliminated halfway through and doesn't debut? It's better to keep this endorsement fee and secure it for future benefits."

"Waaaaah, Qing Bao has suffered so much from childhood to now, she must have always wanted a home, right?"

The more Tang Liuli looked, the more something seemed amiss. Her jealousy vanished, replaced by deep-seated suspicion.

It seems that Qing Mom's fans are very worried about her financial situation, to the point that they are trying to refrain from speaking out in order to avoid causing trouble and affecting the sales of her endorsements.

I've suffered a lot of injustices growing up, I've had financial problems, and I long for a home...

The Green Eyed Cat couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong, so she clicked into Chu Yuanqing's Weibo super topic and decided to temporarily forget the pain of being bullied. She had to use the remaining time to figure out what was going on with Qing Mom!

Soon, a post with tens of thousands of likes caught my eye.

Why does Qing Bao possess a maturity and gentleness that seems out of place for her age?

The very first sentence under the title left Tang Liuli stunned.

"The reason for her maturity is simple: Qing Bao is an orphan who grew up in a welfare home. She has to face the reality of surviving alone in society. It would be unrealistic for her not to be precocious."

"As for gentleness? I think it's perhaps because Qing Bao has never received her mother's love? Precisely because of this, she knows better than anyone the loneliness of not being loved, so out of her kind nature and some kind of compensatory psychology, she is willing to..."

At this moment, in a room not far from the Living room.

Chu Yuanqing was completely unaware that her cat was engrossed in her own gossip. She glanced seriously at the caller ID on her phone, subtly adjusted her voice with magic, and answered, asking:

"Xiao Shu?"

On the other end of the phone, upon hearing Chu Yuanqing's voice, the Little Cotton-padded Jacket immediately turned off the video of a wedding dress advertisement, temporarily forgetting about it. She nodded and said:

"Dad, you answered so quickly! Aren't you at work?"

Suppressing his guilty conscience, Chu Yuanqing said confidently:

"Yes, it's lunch break time now."

After saying that, she changed the subject:

"By the way, did the Program Group provide you with a phone?"

Chu Wangshu's attention was immediately diverted.

Oh right, there's not much time, I need to talk to Dad more!

The Little Cotton-padded Jacket happily replied with an "Mmm," then her eyes crinkled into a smile as she began to recount recent events. Since the Dream Weaver Rabbit hadn't stipulated anything she couldn't say, she told almost everything in great detail.

During this time, Chu Yuanqing noticed that his Little Cotton-padded Jacket had mentioned all of his teammates, and he himself was mentioned more often than Liuli and Yayoi combined.

Chu Yuanqing had mixed feelings.

First, as a father, lurking beside his daughter and becoming her most beloved and trusted older sister, he always felt that something was off.

Secondly, my daughter has never mentioned before that she has made any good friends at school or elsewhere.

Does this mean that the process of recording "Flash Dance" makes my daughter happier than school life?

Unfortunately, if the show hadn't had impure motives, she would have really hoped her daughter could go further and make more good friends along the way, which would have made her more like a teenager and more lively.

The Little Cotton-padded Jacket, oblivious to what her Dad was thinking, continued praising him earnestly.

"Dad, Xiao Qing is so gentle and beautiful, and she cooks incredibly well. Holding her while I sleep makes my sleep quality better. If Dad 're going to find a new mom, she should be like her!"

Chu Yuanqing remained silent for a long time before finally managing to utter, "I'll try my best." No matter how much she doted on her daughter, she couldn't bring herself to do something as outrageous as using Magic Clone and pretend to be with her, thus becoming her Little Cotton-padded Jacket's stepmother.

While multitasking isn't difficult, and magical power hasn't been a problem so far, this is still just ridiculous, isn't it?

Besides, if I really did that, once I left, Xiao Shu wouldn't just lose a Dad, but an entire family that was just thrown together. That would be too hellish.

After that, the Little Cotton-padded Jacket indeed checked whether her Dad had listened to the reconciliation gift she had given him.

Chu Yuanqing was exceptionally confident. She had listened to the music more than a dozen times in the music classroom in the entertainment area during that lunch break, and even accompanied it on the piano once. Her reading comprehension was second to none.

Unfortunately, her Little Cotton-padded Jacket didn't give her much of a chance to speak. After casually asking a question and receiving an affirmative answer, she nodded her chin in satisfaction and changed the subject, leaving Chu Yuanqing somewhat disappointed.

Fortunately, the daughter talked a lot more.

The total number of conversations in this phone call almost exceeded the total number of conversations in the previous year.

Chu Yuanqing was very happy about this. Although he could not meet her as her father, chatting with his daughter in this capacity was enough to make him happy.

Time flew by, and it was soon close to three o'clock.

Chu Wangshu stopped talking, still wanting to say more. She had something more important to say, so she took a deep breath and said:

"Dad, the second Public Performance is in two weeks. I asked Dream Weaver Rabbit, and it said that there will be more than two thousand people at the venue this time, maybe even more than double, so they will give each contestant a family member ticket."

"This round will eliminate half the participants. With that probability, everyone has a chance of being eliminated, including me."

"According to the punishment in <Flashdance>, once you're eliminated, you can't become an idol anymore. This might be my last time on stage."

"So, I want my Dad to be here, I want... you to see me standing on this stage with your own eyes."

After speaking, the Little Cotton-padded Jacket became a little nervous. She knew that her Dad was always very busy with work, and she also knew that these were willful words. She even felt annoyed and regretful after saying them, and couldn't help but subconsciously blame herself for being immature.

Deep down, the desire to be recognized, watched over, and supported by his father still burns brightly like a raging fire.

Chu Wangshu wanted to become the moon, a moon that would make her father Proud.

Chu Yuanqing was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, her chest churning with pride and sorrow. As a father, she had an obligation to witness her child's growth and could not possibly refuse this simple, humble request.

Moreover, as the magic capacity approaches the level after [lamp], the duration and durability of the Magic Clone are no longer a problem. It can easily last for 24 hours and can easily fool the high-tech equipment of <Flash Dance>.

Normally, unless satellites are used to detect Chu Yuanqing's movements, there is no possibility of him being exposed.

So she took a deep breath, a gentle smile playing on her lips, and made her decision.

The next moment, Chu Yuanqing, who had been silent on the other end of the phone, gave a precise answer as a father:

I will come.

"I will be here to witness Xiao Shu stepping onto the stage, so... until then, let me look forward to it."
