Of course, the fans were just joking about the two of them. Not to mention that their brother Huai changes girlfriends every year, even the "great beauty" Xu Qian has publicly admitted to having a girlfriend. For details, you can refer to the previous Star Video interview.
But for CP fans, CP is a feeling, it doesn't involve themselves at all, it just exists for visual beauty.
However, putting that aside, Xu Qian's Weibo followers have indeed grown very quickly. In just a few days, his Weibo followers have exceeded one million. However, his Weibo is still deserted, except for a few reposts of official Weibo posts, as calm as a fake account.
This is also a major reason why people think he's very 'salty'.
She's a great beauty, but she's a bit too 'salty'.
...
Yan Lang was unaware of this until the next day when he saw photos of his 'first love' and Sheng Huai having dinner and playing basketball in Xu Qian's fan page. Although the photos were blurry, their good looks were still evident in the low-resolution images, adding a touch of mystery to their natural and unpretentious appearance...
Okay, actually he was just talking nonsense.
At this moment, Yan Lang noticed that Xu Qian's profile had changed, and a new hobby had been added—growing vegetables?!
What?! Growing vegetables?!
What's with this down-to-earth hobby?!
Yan Lang followed the clues and found Sheng Huai's Weibo account because of the photo he posted last night, and then... nothing happened.
In that instant, Yan Lang felt that his 'Four Beauties' plan might be ruined...
Xu Qian, who was eating xiaolongbao, noticed that Yan Lang, who was always full of energy, suddenly looked downcast, so he asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Yan Lang glanced back at him and sighed softly. "It's nothing really, it's just that you love growing vegetables so much."
"...?" Xu Qian was confused. What was going on?
"It's nothing, please eat quickly, it's getting late." Yan Lang even used a formal term of respect, 'you'.
Alright. Xu Qian had no choice but to continue eating the xiaolongbao. It was from a newly opened shop downstairs, and the taste was very similar to what he remembered. He decided to continue eating it for the next few days!
Yan Lang could only continue to sigh softly.
Days passed by, and one day when Xu Qian was picking up a package, he found a banner inside that read: "A doctor's heart is benevolent. Thank you, Dr. Xu, for saving my bald head!"
Xu Qian was completely baffled. What kind of baffling move was this? Could a banner really be delivered by express courier?
Bai Jiamu explained: "You are too mysterious. Everyone is very grateful to you, but we don't know how to express our gratitude, so we had a banner made to show our appreciation."
Xu Qian really wanted to say, "If you really want to thank me, why don't you help me get the blood ginseng?"
But he didn't.
Xu Qian:
Uh... okay, then please thank them for the banner.
Bai Jiamu:
No, no, no, we can't accept your thanks! That would be the other way around!
Xu Qian remained silent for a while, then took out the medicinal herbs and went back to playing the game.
He was playing a four-player squad game with Sheng Huai, Su Gan, and Xia Shen today, but before they could even start a game, Meng Ziqiu took the stuff home.
"I'm ready, that's fine."
The three people on the other end of the earpiece responded, and the first game officially began.
Meng Ziqiu looked at him, then laughed and asked a question she already knew the answer to, "Playing games?"
"Hmm." Xu Qian didn't even look up.
Meng Ziqiu smiled and didn't bother him anymore. Xu Qian now had his own friends, and even without Meng Ziqiu by his side, he wouldn't let himself get bored. Everything was developing in a positive direction, and Meng Ziqiu suddenly wished that this scene could last forever.
After changing into clean clothes at home, Meng Ziqiu went out on his date. Today was his first official date with his future girlfriend!
...
On the other side, on the set of "Two Dreams", Sheng Huai and two other teammates sat on a bench. They were dressed in proper robes, but their trousers were rolled up. Each of them had a small fan in front of them, and the fans were blowing hard, causing sweat to pour down their faces.
"Ughhh—I slipped again—" Su Gan was so angry she couldn't speak. This was the second time it had happened, caused by sweaty palms. It was infuriating!
"Take it easy, take it easy," Sheng Huai said calmly.
Xia Shen was the first to die, so compared to him, his face was full of an expression of indifference.
After the game, only Xu Qian and Sheng Huai were left. It was truly a case of queuing for two minutes and ending in two seconds.
The four of them played four rounds in total. Every round had some minor issues, such as network lag or slip-ups. No matter how skilled Xu Qian was, he couldn't carry the team every time. As the game progressed, the two younger players started to lose their composure.
"That's enough for now, let's meet again next time!" Xu Qian could only comfort them at home with the air conditioning on, saying that they could play again next time, and then he stopped playing games for the day.
Meanwhile, Sheng Huai, who had been exploding online, was also about to log off. Before he finished, Xu Qian heard him say, "Time to touch up my makeup," and thought to himself that he was about to get busy too.
Completely unharmed, Xu Qian slumped on the sofa, picked up his phone, and changed his screensaver to a vibrant green one—the lettuce he had just planted. The green color brightened his mood considerably.
Xu Qian got up from the sofa and basked in the sunlight. The sight of a patch of vibrant green lettuce was pleasing to the eye. He took out his phone and snapped a picture. Then he logged onto Weibo, which he hadn't used in ages. The dense stream of private messages almost caused his phone to freeze and break down. It took him a while to recover.
Xu Qian changed his Weibo settings to stop receiving these notifications, and only then did his world finally quiet down.
He posted the photo he had just taken on Weibo without any caption, only writing, "Time to eat!"
Within seconds, comments appeared on the Weibo post.
He's alive! He's alive!
[We've caught the culprit!]
[OMG, what did I just see?! Online!]
[The missing person has been found!]
Seeing these resentful comments, Xu Qian seriously recalled the last time he logged into Weibo. It seemed to be... the day the promotional video was released, which was ten days ago. Hmm... that's indeed a long time.
After quickly reading a few comments, Xu Qian did nothing and immediately logged out of Weibo. He had just had a sudden but possible idea: he decided to play a game called "Thousand Demon Records". Although he had filmed a promotional video for the game, Xu Qian had never actually played it seriously more than a few times.
The mobile game version of Thousand Demon Records hasn't been released yet; there's only a PC version available now. The PC version requires a computer, and Meng Liangchen does have a computer in his bedroom, but it's very likely that his computer can't run the game. Xu Qian pulled out a hat and put it on; he was going to the computer mall to get a new computer.
As a seasoned homebody, he figured he'd gradually acquire computer skills once he got to college, through his roommates' friends' friends and so on. However, this world was a little different from the one he knew; many things had changed their names. But that wasn't a big deal. Even though the names had changed, Xu Qian was sure there were still things like online forums.
Sure enough, he searched for related terms about computer configuration and quickly found an electronics forum. He clicked on the featured posts, which were full of useful information.
Just as Xu Qian was taking notes in the taxi, the driver suddenly struck up a conversation with him. It wasn't that he knew him, but rather that he was wondering if Xu Qian wasn't hot wearing a mask like that.
Xu Qian paused for a second, then coughed twice, saying he was wearing a mask because he had a cold. But as soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qian wondered if he was making a fuss over nothing, and whether wearing a mask in this hot weather would actually make him more noticeable.
The driver responded with an "oh," but it was unclear whether he believed it or not.
When they arrived at their destination, Xu Qian paid the driver thirty yuan. As he got out of the car, he took off his mask and breathed in the fresh air. He felt refreshed and ready to go again!
Before entering the computer mall, Xu Qian checked off several highly rated shops. Today, he would be the kind of buyer that everyone hated the most—asking all sorts of questions and not having a good time making purchases.
But reality is often completely different from what he expected.
Why didn't anyone tell him that there was an official flagship store for Fengtang Studio in the computer mall?! Why?!
As soon as Xu Qian entered the computer mall, he was stopped in his tracks by the life-size life-size cardboard cutouts in front of the entrance. There were three on the left and three on the right, all of them were manga versions of him!
My God, what an incredibly embarrassing scene!
In the half-minute that Xu Qian paused, he attracted gazes from all directions, both men and women. Xu Qian's heart skipped a beat. He swallowed hard, turned around, and went up to the escalator on the first floor.
But getting on the elevator attracted even more attention, especially from several girls who had just come down from it. One of them, dressed in Lolita fashion, was holding up her phone, seemingly doing a live stream.
"Hi~ Little brother~" The girl holding the phone suddenly reached out to Xu Qian, her body leaning back, her face smiling, and her other hand behind her, completely unaware of how dangerous her behavior was.
Sure enough, the phone she was using to livestream got stuck on the slanted wall above her head, and because of the up-and-down movement, it left her phone and even her arm stuck in the angled position.
"Let go!"
The girl was startled by his shout and instinctively let go of his hand. The phone, which was holding the selfie stick, was stuck in the corner, while she herself was carried away from the height by the escalator.
Xu Qian breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could speak, he heard the girl point to the spot where she had just been and shout, "Ah! My phone!" Xu Qian couldn't help but cover his face in exasperation; she was speechless. Even at a time like this, she was still thinking about her phone.
Seemingly realizing her mistake, the Lolita girl blushed, a redder than if she had applied blush.
The computer mall's security guards arrived quickly and stopped the escalator. Upon inspection, they discovered that in addition to the girl's phone being stuck in the corner, some of her jewelry that had fallen off at some point had also fallen into the escalator. If they hadn't arrived in time, the escalator would definitely have been in serious trouble.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Xu Qian quietly slipped away, wearing a mask. He didn't want to be the most annoying customer anymore. He found the nearest shop, bought the necessary parts, and quickly took a taxi to leave the computer mall.
But just as he returned home with his computer and was busy assembling it, a trending topic appeared on Weibo. The reason was that the Lolita girl was actually a fairly famous internet celebrity with more Weibo followers than him. In addition, the live stream had been running continuously, and the whole story was posted online.
[Old Xu: I'm panicking like crazy!]
[Old Xu: Why did I come here? Isn't it better to grow vegetables at home?]
Boys should also take good care of themselves when they go out!
[Seriously, this is ridiculous. Can we please stop with these idiotic plot points? Threatening yourself and then threatening others!]
[Let you touch my beauty's hand!]
[Oh no, you guys are all so beautiful, I'm almost forgetting that Lao Xu is 188cm tall...]
[Here's a suggestion for you—use a beautiful woman as a weapon!]
Okay! Let's go with the beauty as the dominant one!
