Chapter 151: Tang Liuli Discovers the Truth and the Father-Daughter Promise
The first scene in Weibo.
The person who seems blessed by the gods put on a pure wedding dress, which symbolizes a bond with others.
Chu Yuanqing’s delicate eyes were sacred and solemn. When her clear, lake-like eyes lowered, her soft pink lips seemed to invite others. She was held by a girl who wore a bridal gown too, showing no resistance but rather a happy smile.
Tang Liuli’s mind shook, her thoughts stopped. Her gaze fell to the image in the center of the grid, where two people were kissing in the rain. The clear umbrella cleverly blocked the spot where their lips met, creating a romantic and sweet moment.
As for the other photos, they showed the sweetness of lesbian couples, sharing a drink through two straws while gazing lovingly at each other; sitting on soft grass, cuddling, blowing bubbles like children, proudly showing their happiness to friends; or…
The green-eyed cat suddenly lost her cool. She never expected that the Sakura girl, whom she thought she had outperformed, had secretly been doing a wedding dress ad with her crush!
Tang Liuli felt an unprecedented anger, mixed with jealousy and grievance. The refreshing feeling of "The tide on the Qiantang River comes, today I know who I am," was quickly overwhelmed by twisted pain, filling her heart with bitterness and envy.
To be honest, even if the person in the ad with Chu Yuanqing was Xie Qingxuan, Ji Shuzhu, or Chen Yining, her emotions wouldn’t be as shaken as they were now, but her partner was Kirimi Miyuki, who was on the same team as her.
Damn it, everyone is in one line. Why are you so lucky to be pulled away to take wedding dress photos with Honey Qing? And it’s the kind for lesbians!
This is manipulation! It’s not fair! This is malicious control! I want to report that damn red-eyed rabbit!
The green-eyed cat felt more and more wronged, but didn’t want to show a shameful expression. She stubbornly comforted herself:
"Hmph… It’s just a wedding dress endorsement! Wedding… wedding dresses and such, I will wear one with Mother Qing eventually!"
"Those… those photos were just for the endorsement effect! The kissing is definitely just staged, Mother Qing wouldn’t like it, they don’t seem to match at all!"
As Tang Liuli spoke, she sniffed and tried hard to hold back her emotions. The misty green in her eyes looked like a quiet forest about to be hit by a storm, and she was almost ready to cry from feeling wronged.
No, I absolutely can’t cry! That would mean I give up!
The green-eyed cat pulled herself together. She decided to use a fake account, wearing the disguise of Honey Qing’s devoted fan, to fiercely attack that annoying sakura girl in the comment section to ease her emotions.
Tang Liuli’s beautiful fingers danced like butterflies, switching accounts to follow Chu Yuanqing’s Weibo, quickly clicking into the endorsement Weibo post with hundreds of thousands of comments. She decided to observe the comment section first to see if there were any like-minded allies.
"As before, we have taken those few seconds of footage and turned it into a live wallpaper."
The green-eyed cat became more and more anxious, almost crying from anger.
Damn it, what are all these comments? Why are they all insulting Mother Qing with harsh words? They have no sense of decency! The craziest part is that their target is that sakura girl!
Angry, Mother Qing’s toxic fans, and even the die-hard fans? Show some of your fighting spirit from the celebrity world! Why let this group of foolish shippers who only focus on sweet moments take control of the discussion?
Although the lesbian wedding dress endorsement, along with many shipper fans, gave this Weibo post a lot of boosts, as a normal idol who attracts fans with talent and looks, Chu Yuanqing’s base of fans should mostly be pure fans, followed by die-hard fans, and then the more extreme toxic die-hard fans.
To put it simply, many of Chu Yuanqing’s normal fans would not tolerate the comment section becoming so toxic, resulting in a situation where only two out of seven comments are normal, as it is just too draining.
Just imagine, as an ordinary fan of Chu Yuanqing, you originally didn’t know or even like Kirimi Miyuki, but if you wander around the Weibo comments section, you would likely become very curious about who Kirimi Miyuki is because of these comments.
Over time, you would go to learn more about her, even follow her Weibo, and eventually change your loyalty.
This phenomenon is a classic example of driving traffic through bundling, resulting in a draining effect.
Kirimi Miyuki is also very popular, and her fans keep growing, maybe up to seven or eight million. This kind of connection turns into a mutual support system; otherwise, it would be a more sensitive matter.
Tang Liuli didn’t understand much. She decided to stay still and looked closely at the comments, ignoring all the foolish fans, to see if she could find an answer.
Well, it’s definitely not because she is afraid of being criticized and made to cry by the CP fans!
The green-eyed cat flipped through comments for a while and finally saw a comment that felt like a ray of hope.
Tang Liuli was overjoyed; she felt a connection and decided to type a response, but when she clicked to reply, she saw a bunch of comments and discussions.
"Our little idol has such a tough background; no one knows how far she can go on ‘Dazzling Stage’. If she gets eliminated halfway and doesn’t debut, it’s better to take the endorsement fee and keep it safe, so regardless of what happens later, there’s a guarantee."
"Aww, Honey Qing has suffered so much over the years, she must have always wanted a home, right?"
The more Tang Liuli looked, the more uneasy she felt. Her jealousy disappeared and was replaced by strong confusion.
It seems like Mother Qing’s fans are very worried about her financial situation? So much so that they are trying hard not to speak up, to avoid causing a stir that could affect the endorsement sales?
From childhood to adulthood, I have faced many unfair situations, financial problems, and I long for a home…
The green-eyed cat felt something was not right, so she clicked into Chu Yuanqing’s Weibo topic, deciding to temporarily forget the pain of being bullied and needed to understand Mother Qing’s story in the remaining time!
Soon, a post with thousands of likes caught her attention.
— "Why does Honey Qing possess maturity and gentleness that contradict her age?"
The first sentence under the title left Tang Liuli frozen in place.
"The reason for her maturity is simple: Honey Qing grew up as an orphan in a welfare home, and she had to face the reality of surviving alone in society; it is unrealistic not to mature quickly."
"As for her gentleness? I think it might be because Honey Qing has never received her mother’s love? Because of this, she understands the loneliness of not being loved more than anyone else, so due to her kind nature and a sense of compensation, she is willing to…"
…
…
At that moment, in a room not far from the living room.
Chu Yuanqing had no idea that a certain cat was happily munching on its own snack. She glanced seriously at the caller ID on her phone, slightly adjusted her voice using magic, and chose to answer, asking:
"Little Shu?"
On the other end of the phone, her lovely daughter, upon hearing Chu Yuanying’s voice, quickly turned off a wedding dress advertisement video and temporarily forgot about it. She nodded and said:
"Dad, you picked up so quickly. Aren’t you at work?"
Chu Yuanqing suppressed her guilt and replied confidently:
"Well, it’s just the right time for a lunch break."
After saying that, she changed the subject and asked:
"By the way, did the program group send out the phones over there?"
Chu Wang Shu was indeed quickly distracted.
Oh right, there’s not much time left; I need to talk to Dad more!
The lovely daughter cheerfully replied with "uh-huh," her eyes sparkling and smiling, and began to share all the recent happenings. Since Dream Weaver Rabbit didn’t say anything was off-limits, she told everything in detail.
During this time, Chu Yuanqing noticed that her adorable daughter mentioned all her teammates, and the times she mentioned Chu Yuanqing were more than the combined mentions of Liuli and Miyuki.
Chu Yuanqing felt mixed emotions.
First, as a father, hiding near his daughter and becoming her favorite and most trusted big sister felt strange and not quite right.
Second, her daughter had never before talked about making such good friends at school or anywhere else like she did now.
Does this mean that, compared to school life, the process of recording "Dazzling Stage" makes her daughter happier?
Unfortunately, if this show’s intentions were not pure, he still hoped his daughter could go further and make more good friends along the way, which would be more like a typical teenager and more lively.
The lovely daughter did not know what her father was thinking; she was still seriously praising him.
"Papa, Little Qing is gentle and beautiful, and she cooks super delicious meals. Sleeping with her makes me feel like my sleep is better. If you want to find a new mommy, it should be someone like her!"
Chu Yuanqing was silent for a long time and could only manage to say, "I will try." No matter how much she spoiled her daughter, she could not magically pretend to be her own partner and suddenly become the lovely daughter’s stepmother.
Even though multitasking is not hard and magic power is not a problem, how can she not find this idea a little ridiculous?
Besides, if she really did that, when she left, Little Shu would lose not just a dad, but also a complete family, which would be too cruel.
After that, the lovely daughter indeed checked to see if her father noticed the gift of reconciliation she gave.
Chu Yuanqing was very confident; she had listened to it numerous times in the music classroom during her break that day and even played it on the piano once. Her reading comprehension was definitely top-notch.
Unfortunately, the lovely daughter didn’t give her much opportunity to showcase her skills. She casually asked a question, and after receiving a positive answer, she nodded satisfactorily and shifted the topic elsewhere, leaving Chu Yuanqing feeling unexpectedly disappointed.
However, thankfully, the daughter had plenty to say.
The number of conversations in this call almost surpassed the total conversations of the past year.
Chu Yuanqing felt very happy about this. Even though she couldn’t meet him as a father, chatting with her daughter in this way was enough happiness for her.
Time passed quickly, and it was soon nearing three o’clock.
Chu Wang Shu, still wanting to say more, took a deep breath and said:
"Dad, in half a month, there is going to be a second performance. I asked Dream Weaver Rabbit, and it said that more than two thousand people can come this time, maybe even double that, so they will give the performers one family ticket."
"In this round, half of the participants will be eliminated. With this chance, anyone could be eliminated, including me."
"According to the punishment of ‘Dazzling Stage,’ once eliminated, you can no longer become an idol. This might be my last time on stage."
"So, I want you to come to the performance. I want you to see me standing on the stage with your own eyes."
After her heartfelt words, the lovely daughter felt a bit nervous. She knew her dad was always very busy and realized this was a selfish request. After she spoke, she felt a bit regretful and couldn’t help but scold herself for being thoughtless.
Deep inside, the desire to be seen, recognized, and supported by her father still shined brightly, like a burning fire.
Chu Wang Shu wanted to be the moon, a moon that made her father feel proud and happy.
Chu Yuanqing felt mixed emotions, her heart bubbling with pride and sadness. As a father, it was her duty to witness her child’s growth, and she could not refuse this simple and humble request.
Moreover, as the magic power approached a certain level, the duration and strength of the Magic Clone were no longer a problem; it could easily last for 24 hours and fool the high-tech equipment of the "Dazzling Stage."
Normally, unless someone used a satellite to track Chu Yuanying’s movements, there would be no chance of being discovered.
So, she took a deep breath, a gentle smile appearing on her lips, and made a decision.
The next moment, Chu Yuanying, who had been silent on the phone, spoke up as a father and gave a clear answer:
"I will come."
"I will come to see Little Shu on stage, so… until then, let me look forward to it."
