Mu Tiantian bought a mobile phone for around 1,000 yuan, and also bought a phone number. She then booked a hotel room.
Of the two thousand, only two hundred remained.
System: [Why did you buy this phone?]
Mu Tiantian: [Turns out that old phone really wasn't working. Short videos have become so popular these past few years, I need to make some money first, and take care of my basic living needs.]
Mu Tiantian threw her old phone into the trash can.
It takes five minutes to open a piece of software; it's driving me crazy.
She downloaded the most popular short video app, Kuaishou, on her new phone and listened to a few popular songs.
The most popular song right now is Tong Lan's.
She covered several songs, made three videos, and uploaded them to her newly registered account.
Then Mu Tiantian tossed her phone aside and fell asleep.
And the videos she posted started to be pushed to the platform.
...
On her way home, Sun Yu called Shen Xuan. "Shen Xuan, why can't I get through to Tong Lan?"
Shen Xuan, who was drinking, glanced at Tong Lan, who had a dark face, and replied, "It's off."
"Shut down? Why?"
"This is a complicated matter. Is there something you need, Sister Yu?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell Tong Lan that I just saw Tian Tian."
Shen Xuan was surprised and went to a secluded spot to ask Sun Yu, "Sister Yu, where did you see that?"
"It's downstairs, right by the main entrance."
"Sister Yu, let's not tell Tong Lan about this yet. Wouldn't that be like rubbing salt into his wounds?"
“I don’t think so,” Sun Yu joked. “He keeps saying he’s moved on, but he’s not even willing to create a CP (couple pairing) with someone else. Let’s see how he reacts when he finds out about this.”
“What kind of reaction could he have? Just now, Tian Tian retweeted and commented on a Weibo post for him, and he got so angry that he turned off his phone. If he meets Tian Tian, he’ll definitely be furious and emotionally unstable again. The variety show hasn’t finished filming yet, so let’s not affect him for now.” Shen Xuan felt a headache coming on when he thought about four years ago.
After Mu Tiantian ran away with Ye Youjie, Tong Lan burned everything related to her, but then started looking for things related to her again.
Sometimes, when things were half-burned, he would throw himself into the fire to pick them up again, either crying or laughing, or smashing things to vent his anger. In short, he was completely insane during that period.
It took two whole years for his condition to improve.
Now Mu Tiantian has suddenly reappeared for some reason. If Tong Lan is like he was four years ago, then this talent show he initiated shouldn't even be recorded.
Sun Yu thought about it and agreed, "Okay then."
The two exchanged a few words and then hung up the phone.
Shen Xuan was just about to take his phone back to the lobby when Tong Lan stood silently behind him.
"Who were you talking to just now? Who are you preventing me from meeting?" Tong Lan's voice was cold, but Shen Xuan could hear the urgency in his tone.
Tong Lan must have overheard his conversation with Sister Yu.
"You misheard. Sister Yu called to ask how your birthday went. Let's go back and have some cake." Shen Xuan tried to laugh it off.
But Tong Lan wouldn't listen to him and wouldn't give way.
Tong Lan stood motionless in front of him, her eyes seeming to say, "If you don't tell the truth, I'll keep harassing you."
Shen Xuan sighed and rubbed his forehead, then told him about Yu Jie's meeting with Mu Tiantian.
After hearing this, Tong Lan immediately walked out.
Shen Xuan tried to stop him, but he just kept following his steps as if possessed.
"Brother Tong, are you going to..." Han Min walked up to Tong Lan with a smile and asked.
However, Tong Lan simply walked past her, ignoring her completely, and Han Min's smile froze on her face.
The other female trainees couldn't help but whisper among themselves when they saw this.
"What's wrong, Tong-ge? Did you two have a fight?"
"I don't know, but it seems that Brother Tong and Sister Min's relationship isn't as good as the rumors say."
"Exactly, it's obvious she's throwing herself at him, trying to get close to Brother Tong. She's not even that good-looking, she probably slept with someone to get ahead."
Han Min's expression darkened even more when she heard the girls' private gossip.
Shen Xuan comforted Han Min, "Tong Lan is just having a relapse, don't worry about it."
After Shen Xuan finished speaking, he immediately chased after him.
Han Min returned to her seat, forcing a smile. Several female students came forward to comfort her; these were the same girls who had been gossiping about Han Min earlier.
They took being two-faced to the extreme.
Shen Xuan followed Tong Lan downstairs, but apart from the passing vehicles, there was no one else in sight.
"If you come out now, that person will have left long ago. Are you still hung up on her?"
Tong Lan scoffed, "I just wanted to come down and humiliate her."
After saying that, Tong Lan turned around and went back.
Shen Xuan rolled his eyes. This guy was just being stubborn.
...
System: [Tong Lan's hatred value increased by 5, currently at 105.]
Mu Tiantian, who was dreaming, sat up instantly upon hearing Qi Tong's prompt.
Mu Tiantian: [How did his hatred level increase?]
System: [The more I thought about your comment, the angrier I got, and that's why it went up.]
Mu Tiantian vomited blood? Is that even possible?
She frantically grabbed her hair, wondering if she should delete the Weibo post that she had shared and commented on.
She took out her phone and placed her hand on the delete button for that Weibo post.
I hesitated for a long time.
In the end, I gave up.
Since he can see her comment, it proves that she should still be on his following list. Otherwise, with so many comments, how could he possibly see hers?
In other words, he still has feelings for her, and his hatred level was only 90 before.
Mu Tiantian glanced out the window; it was just barely dawn.
Let me take another nap.
Mu Tiantian fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, and this time she slept comfortably.
Tong Lan suffered from insomnia because of her reposted and commented Weibo post, and because she went downstairs to his recording studio but didn't come up to him.
He hasn't slept well since Mu Tiantian left, and now he's suffering from insomnia.
He pulled out half of a burned photograph from under his pillow. The woman in the photo had a radiant smile that warmed his heart.
However, the burned half of the photograph showed signs of being repeatedly torn and pasted.
Tong Lan gathered the photos into a ball and threw it into the trash can, then turned around, closed her eyes, and forced herself to sleep.
Tong Lan, stop thinking about her. You're just a plaything for her to amuse herself. She never loved you. You're acting like you're going to die for her, but she's probably having a great time and has already forgotten about you.
Why did she comment?
Maybe she just wants to ride on your coattails.
Why would she appear outside this building?
Maybe they were just passing by.
Tong Lan's mind began to engage in a self-questioning and self-answering mode.
I tried to force myself to sleep, but it only made it harder to fall asleep, and I started having all sorts of random thoughts.
The scene from six years ago still flashed through my mind.
"Tongtong, I saw a roasted sweet potato vendor near the school gate, so I brought you one."
Mu Tiantian's face was red from the cold, but the roasted sweet potato was still steaming hot in her arms.
Her smiling face lingered in my mind.
Tong Lan sat up abruptly; he couldn't sleep at all.
He got out of bed, rummaged through the trash can, retrieved the half-photo, put it back under his pillow, and closed his eyes.
It took him more than ten minutes to slowly drift off to sleep.
