Dad, Please Let Me Solo-Fan!
However, the riots by local fans gradually subsided after a video was released.
That was the sequel to the program's abrupt ending. Charlotte stuffed the sun hat into the Little Cotton-padded Jacket's arms, grabbed Chu Yuanqing's wrist, and smiled brightly, like a princess who was being pursued by a large number of enemies and was about to make a grand escape in the sunshine.
In the video, a young girl walks through streets and alleys, around shop windows, and hides her face with balloons. Her skirt flutters, causing the footsteps of the people behind her to become chaotic. She meanders through the complex alleys, then suddenly steps onto the moss-covered stone slabs. Ignoring her sandals and white skirt, she crosses tree branches and mud, finally reaching a high place with a banyan tree.
Then, the camera zoomed out.
Charlotte looked at the somewhat bewildered Chu Yuanqing, her eyes crinkling with laughter, almost bending over with mirth.
At this point in the video, the image begins to blur, skipping a large section of time and switching from the perspective of a nano-camera to a regular surveillance camera perspective, interspersed with photos, showing clips of the two eating and strolling around.
It's worth mentioning that Dream Weaver Rabbit almost completely removed all ambiguous scenes, leaving ample room for interpretation on the lines between friendship and love, and between friends and lovers.
"What a youthful and wonderful atmosphere! After watching this, I'm starting to support this marriage!"
"Since it was Miss Charlotte who took the initiative, then there's nothing more to say."
"It seems the same as before, except there's one more person playing hide-and-seek. I'm totally shipping them!!!"
"Mom, Chu Yuanqing is so handsome! After being bombarded by his looks, I can't even feel jealous anymore!"
But when the same video reached Great Xia, it was portrayed as a blatant attempt by a blond-haired man to abduct your Little Cotton-padded Jacket on the street, infuriating the Little Yuan Xiao. They felt that Charlotte was a super-skilled bad woman and wished they could immediately take the pure and innocent Qing Bao back to Great Xia to protect her.
"I'm so angry! She touched Qing Bao's hand the moment we met! She's obviously a sea queen?!"
"Without a moment's mourning for the defeat of Little Sakura, Liuli, and the Great Demon King, the one who immediately rushed to the battlefield was Charlotte, the national flower born in Saint Wolfgang, the Doomsday Diva blessed with the White Moonlight buff—the invincible Miss Charlotte???"
"Hilarious! Stop spreading rumors. Our Qing Bao just went to exchange experiences about being an idol with Charlotte. Don't you find it boring to keep imagining things from her being a 'female bronze'?"
"Hehe, that's how it is with pufferfish. Randomly bumping into things at inappropriate times will only make people feel uncomfortable???"
On the Austria internet, although Miss Saintess gets along well with everyone, she always acts alone and even forms her own group, so she has no romantic pairings that the public can ship.
In the Great Xia Dynasty, the situation was completely different. Chu Yuanqing had a large number of CP (couple pairing) factions, numbering in the double digits. Among these CP fans, aside from the kind who ship anything and everything, the rest instinctively harbored hostility towards Charlotte, this sudden "outsider."
On the other hand, Chu Yuanqing's die-hard fans Solo Fan fans are also fueling the fire. In order not to bring trouble to their idol, they do nothing else but try to maintain a strong bond of friendship and strive to demonstrate their Little Idol's ambition.
As the public outcry continued to escalate, it was already afternoon in Salzburg.
After the Green Eyed Cat took the blame and dispelled the Little Cotton-padded Jacket's suspicions, the group went to the dance studio for training as usual.
Yesterday, after everyone finished studying the dance, we assigned our own lyrics and movements, determined the overall framework and mood of the dance, and memorized the positions with remarkable efficiency. All that's left is simple and straightforward practice.
It's obvious that after learning they are in the process of becoming Magical Girl, the Little Idol seem to unlock their hidden potential, and their learning abilities in all aspects are increasing.
If things continue at this pace, once they officially become "Witch," learning a new group dance will only require time to develop their chemistry; the actual time spent learning the dance itself won't be long at all.
From this perspective, the tasks of Magical Girl going out to fight monsters and idols dancing on stage can indeed find a balance between each other due to their extraordinary efficiency.
By 3 p. m., the Little Idol had completed a preliminary part of their day's training.
Of course, if Charlotte hadn't been acting like a complaining little woman, constantly watching Chu Yuanqing during his training, pouting and clamoring for a balance between work and rest, wanting to go out and play with everyone, they probably would have trained straight back to the castle for dinner.
"Yes, that's more like it. Even if you want to become Magical Girl, you absolutely can't rush it. After all, both [Lighting Up] and [Flower Bloom] are very, very important steps."
The Doomsday Diva, with one arm around the bewildered Little Cotton-padded Jacket and the other around the helpless Chu Yuanqing, muttered to herself while her bright eyes scanned the surrounding scenery.
Kiriwake Yayoi could only sigh. This person just couldn't stay still, so she probably just wanted to go out and have some fun!
The Green Eyed Cat, holding a camera, was responsible for recording the vlog. Her camera angle was still fixed on the Pure White Witch, giving it a subtle sense of a stalker secretly filming a family of three.
Xie Qingxuan looked at Qing Bao's back, lost in thought.
Although she was the first to wake up this morning, she was not bullied by Qing Bao Shao last night, and even now there are many moments worth reminiscing about.
Well, in Charlotte's magical wardrobe, the Golden Haired Doggy changed clothes the most, and the most noteworthy item was the black and white, austere nun's habit.
This isn't exactly revealing clothing, but rather a slightly breezy, borderline style. For figures like Little Sakura and the Social Anxiety Cat, it wouldn't look out of place. However, on Xie Qingxuan, who is known for her approachable figure, it makes it difficult for her to breathe, resulting in a rather alluring visual effect.
What Xie Qingxuan is recalling now is the feeling of being filled with desire and breaking her vows shortly after she devoutly prayed to the Pure White Witch. With hazy eyes, she touches her lower abdomen, longing for that swollen and warm, phantom pain mixed with pleasure complex experience.
The girl's cool and beautiful face remained calm as she softly uttered her extremely explosive thoughts:
"Charlotte, why do Magical Girl's sexual behaviors always seem superior to those of normal humans?"
Upon hearing this, all the Little Idol except Charlotte were collectively stunned.
Chu Yuanqing wished he could smother Xie Qingxuan's mouth.
Tang Liuli was shocked by the Golden Haired Doggy's unrestrained speech.
Little Sakura was so ashamed she wanted to evaporate on the spot, but she could only pretend nothing had happened to cover up her guilty conscience.
Chu Wangshu blushed shyly. She didn't suspect that the team had secretly put on a big music party behind her back. She just thought that Sister Xie was very mature and didn't shy away from self-indulgent activities, which made her feel strangely cool.
Charlotte replied earnestly:
"Because Magical Girl, in every sense, are no longer the same species as humans. The reason we retain our original forms is based on a combination of accumulated knowledge and worldview."
"But as Idealistic Being, once we reach [Full Bloom], even headshots and heart shatters, which are usually fatal, become almost indistinguishable from mere grazes."
The Doomsday Diva paused here, then smiled and said:
"This actually leads to many philosophical questions, but returning to the topic Kiyohyun mentioned, Magical Girl must be honest with themselves, and so-called magic is simply an extension of thought."
"And doing that kind of thing, whether for yourself or with others, makes it easier to get the most direct feedback."
Upon hearing this, Xie Qingxuan suddenly realized that, as a complete idiot when it came to love, she had been watching such works, asking netizens for their opinions, and looking for a methodology to manage everything ever since she gained free access to the internet.
But after hearing Charlotte's words, she realized an even simpler truth.
For normal couples, exchanging gifts, saying sweet words, going shopping and dating, cooking for each other, and taking care of each other during holidays—these complex and seemingly trivial behaviors, when implemented in every aspect, are essentially ways of conveying their feelings.
Humans are cunning creatures; they lie, cheat, and change their minds. They can't always sense the temperature of each other's hearts, nor can they be sure of the true weight of each other's feelings.
Therefore, we need to share, communicate, and repeatedly reaffirm our love for each other. Even after repeated reaffirmation, doubts may still arise, betrayals may still occur, and disappointments may still happen.
Loving someone, or being loved, are both very complicated things.
But Magical Girl are different; they are another kind of being, a kind of idealistic life that should not exist in the world.
For Magical Girl, a kiss that exchanges magic power is enough to reveal the deepest feelings hidden in the other person's heart.
In other words, all she needed to do to express her love for Xiao Qing and confirm Xiao Qing's love for her was to have sex with him every day.
Unfortunately, just as the Golden Haired Doggy was about to share its profound wisdom, Little Sakura quickly covered its mouth. She blinked in confusion, then looked at the smiling, helpless Pure White Witch beside her, remaining motionless and very obedient.
This delicate topic was successfully glossed over thanks to the efforts of the Little Idol.
Only the Golden Haired Doggy, obsessed with Magic Replenishment, is looking forward to continuing the nun game after completing [Lighting Up].
Charlotte was very lively throughout the journey. She seemed to have endless things to say and didn't look at her phone at all. She led everyone to a handmade pottery shop in the old town.
This is a popular spot for couples. They make pottery, paintings, and plaster dolls for each other, giving them special meaning. In some ways, like the locks on the Lover's Bridge, these items express their inner wishes.
Coincidentally, none of the people in the group had ever been to this kind of store before.
Charlotte found a place to sit down, blinked her eyes, and said:
"I learned how to throw pottery from Sister Ellie when I was little, so let me teach Xiao Qing and Xiao Shu how to do it later!"
The girl's turquoise eyes shimmered with moisture, and her pink lips curled into a lovely smile as she spoke confidently to her husband and daughter, seemingly eager to show off her skills and demonstrate her strength as a mother to her family.
Unfortunately, ten minutes later, the Saintess's face was covered in mud, her slender, beautiful hands were covered in white ash, and her work clothes, which looked like a denim vest, were also stained, making her look quite disheveled.
Charlotte still smiled smugly, the corners of her eyes curving up beautifully. When she saw Chu Yuanqing looking at her, she happily opened her palms to him, as if showing off or asking for a hug.
--Click.
Chu Yuanqing, as if possessed, took several photos with her phone. Looking at the photos of Charlotte, who was frozen in time and showed a different kind of beauty, she couldn't help but curl her lips into a gentle smile.
Afterwards, I took a selfie and, without thinking much about it, posted it on Weibo.
The tagline for this campaign is. "Pottery is difficult, but it's so much fun doing it with Charlotte."
Volume 1: Chapter 253. Chu Yuanqing's Official Announcement? A Match Made in Heaven, Fans' Desire. (5k)
Donghuang Federation, Great Xia.
Around four or five in the morning, Chu Yuanqing's Weibo followers had already reached 19.99 million, and were about to officially break through 20 million. Just as he was caught in the vortex of public opinion, a brand new Weibo popped up on the phones of countless people, resonating with many.
Meanwhile, in an apartment in Sea Capital, Pei Xiaotong was fast asleep in bed, hugging a dinosaur plush toy.
Xu Ling looked at the barely-finished video frame on the computer, let out a long sigh, and a big smile spread across her face. She stretched, leaned wearily against the ergonomic chair, relaxed her body, and let the casters slide backward. Looking up, she sighed with admiration:
"Because everyone is so cute, even though it was my first time editing a video about team spirit, it turned out surprisingly well."
Although as a die-hard Sakura fan, she should have only edited videos featuring Chu Yuanqing and Little Sakura to attract newcomers to the "Wu Zhong Jian Qing" fandom.
However, the material from the sixth episode, combined with the daily snippets accumulated from the previous five episodes, created a qualitative change in the sensory experience, giving her a strange feeling that the whole team was also very appealing, and she created a folder without really understanding why.
Well, how should I put it?
Anyone who has edited videos or worked as a content creator knows that the reason for making a video only requires a fleeting idea.
However, to support the complete production of a high-quality video, one must have passion and enthusiasm to offset the tedium and frustration in between.
The sixth episode, or rather Chu Yuanqing's team, with its mundane daily routines unfolding under the Vienna sun, possesses this magical charm.
The girl took a sip of her coffee and sighed with a hint of envy:
"Xiao Qing has a really good relationship with everyone. It's completely different from the other teams. It's like they've been a group for many years and are now like family."
Xu Ling has watched many Talent Show. It's common for contestants to put on a show in front of the camera. Sometimes, the Program Group will deliberately edit the atmosphere to make it warm and cute to create more highlights.
In this information age, the quality of a relationship can be acted out, edited, and marketed.
But what's real is real, and what's fake is fake.
Not to mention the atmosphere of Chu Yuanqing's team, even the twisted yet genuine emotions of the Qingmei group are something that top-tier marketing and acting can't replicate. It's unparalleled among all girl groups online.
Xu Ling muttered to herself with a touch of melancholy:
"I guess after the sixth episode airs, there will be a lot more fans shipping Qing Bao's team, right? It's a pity that even with a high-quality team of 4A1B, the hope of them going all the way to the end and debuting as a group is still slim."
But strangely enough, after saying it, my enthusiasm for editing videos actually increased.
Because if you think about it carefully, as long as you use all your skills to edit a heartwarming and cute fan-oriented video, you can naturally turn it into a sad ending video overflowing with sweetness in the future.
So, it's like editing two videos! It's a total steal!
As for whether it will backfire on her? Anyway, she only supports Qing Bao and Little Sakura. The group's bad ending doesn't mean her own support will have a bad ending, so what's there to be afraid of?!
Xu Ling had no idea she would actually become a fan of the group. After she planted the flag for herself, the more she thought about it, the more she felt it made sense, and she immediately wanted to take advantage of this momentum to cut a little more.
Just then, my phone chimed with Weibo notification.
"Yay! Qing Bao updated her Weibo!"
The girl's eyes sparkled. Instead of opening her phone, she opened Weibo on her computer, wanting to enjoy Qing Bao's flawless beauty on the big screen as a reward for herself after working so hard to edit the video.
Click, the mouse clicked repeatedly.
The first thing I follow on Weibo is Chu Yuanqing's profile picture.
Well, it's just that the old-timer never remembered to change it, so the official default random avatar has always been there. In a way, it's quite unique among all the Little Idol, which is also something that Little Yuan Xiao often complains about regarding Chu Yuanqing.
Soon, as the mouse was moved, the text slowly moved into view, like an award announcement, revealing a short paragraph of text.
"Pottery is difficult, but it's so much fun doing it with Charlotte."
Yes, Qing Bao trains so hard every day, it's only natural for her to play with pottery.
Rather, we should travel more and have more fun!
Happy? As long as Qing Bao happy, Mommy is happy!
Wait, something's not right. Together with Charlotte???
Xu Ling's smile froze. She looked at the text again carefully, then quickly scrolled down to see the eight pictures of Charlotte in the nine-square grid. She felt as if she could hear the roar of will-o'-the-wisps rushing through the streets.
Meanwhile, similar reactions occurred among countless "Mom Fan," "Solo Fan stans," and "solo stans." The comment section on Weibo quickly exploded, and everyone felt how strange the skewed emotions in this nine-square grid were.
"Damn, everything went black. I almost thought I'd clicked on Charlotte's Weibo?!"
"No, it's an 8:1 photo. Qing Bao, do you really remember this is your own Weibo???"
"6. This set of photos is so good that even die-hard fans would exclaim, ' Qing Bao, don't love me too much!'"
"Mommy, Charlotte is so beautiful! So beautiful that I momentarily forgot she's the blond guy who stole Qing Bao away in a ghost fire???"
The comments section was deeply shocked, clearly showing extremely complex feelings about this set of photos.
Among them were motherly fans who were angry that their Little Cotton-padded Jacket had been kidnapped, girlfriend fans who were hostile towards Charlotte, and even fans who, after being enlightened by the Saintess's beauty, started to ship the Yuri couple.
Of course, the poor, innocent, and weak Solo Fan and solo stans are the group that suffers the most. Not long ago, they insisted that Chu Yuanqing and Charlotte were just friends, and that their chats were only to encourage each other on the path of idol worship, and that they were "study partners".
But the accompanying text and photos completely overshadowed these Little Yuan Xiao, making them taste the pain of having their daughter's ultrasound report thrown in their face, and then being swindled out of several packs of Zhonghua cigarettes and Moutai liquor.
