Chapter 196 A Nationwide Misunderstanding
If Ryoko had answered that she was Japanese before, Xiao Yue would have believed her 100%.
But now, Ryoko's answer clearly fails to convince her.
"Come here, Ryoko, look at this."
So, Xiao Yue showed Liangzi the private messages that netizens had sent her.
When Ryoko saw the two identical faces, she was stunned: "How could a dragon be in your Celestial Empire?"
"I find it hard to believe too, but it's true. Even you can see that they look alike, right?"
Xiao Yue said solemnly but helplessly, "If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, who would believe that there are people in the world who look so alike?"
"However, in our Celestial Empire, he is not called Dragon, but Zhou Tianyi."
After hearing Xiao Yue's words, Ryoko began to have serious doubts about her own eyes.
"No, that's impossible. He is Long. It's one thing to look alike, but they both have a mole near their eyes. It's impossible for them to be the same in that respect."
"But if it's a dragon, then has he been staying in China all these years since he disappeared? Why didn't he return to Japan? Did he change his nationality?"
"..."
Such thoughts kept popping into Ryoko's mind. Seeing her somewhat delirious state, Xiao Yue repeated her thoughts:
"Ryoko, don't get agitated. Is it possible that Ryu isn't Japanese?"
"No, no, absolutely impossible!"
This was even harder for Ryoko to accept than changing her nationality.
In her mindset, dragons are synonymous with Japanese people; if dragons aren't Japanese...
My God, she doesn't even know how she's going to survive!
"How do you explain this phenomenon?" Xiao Yue knew it was cruel, but she had too many questions in her mind.
Seeing that Ryoko was unwilling to answer, Xiao Yue searched online herself.
Searching for the name of a dragon on a browser quickly yielded a wealth of information about dragons.
Xiao Yue clicked on it and saw some basic information, which clearly showed Long's identity information.
"What?"
Xiao Yue exclaimed in surprise. She rubbed her eyes and looked again. The scene hadn't changed, which meant she wasn't hallucinating.
What I see is all true.
but--
"How is that possible!"
According to the encyclopedia, the dragon is Chinese!
Yes.
There are no embellishments at the beginning!
"Ryoko, I have some bad news for you."
After staring at her for a full half minute, Xiao Yue finally gritted her teeth and looked at Liangzi.
Thump.
Upon hearing Xiao Yue's words, Liangzi immediately became nervous.
As if anticipating something, she quickly ran to look at the computer screen. When she saw the words on the screen, she was stunned and shocked.
A sudden roar filled my mind, followed by a blackout before my eyes. In an instant, it felt as if the whole world had collapsed.
She muttered to herself, "Impossible, impossible! How could a dragon be a citizen of the Celestial Empire!"
Xiao Yue comforted Ryoko while pondering the situation.
Long is a Chinese, and he looks so much like Zhou Tianyi. Could it be said that Long is Zhou Tianyi?
Once the idea popped into her head, she couldn't stop it, and her gaze drifted to the computer screen.
However, the dragon's real name is not described above; this part is blank, and no one knows the dragon's real name.
Xiao Yue was not surprised by this. It is very common for celebrities to use stage names. Some celebrities will not reveal their real names to the public in order to avoid privacy leaks.
In addition, Xiao Yue had another question in her mind, which was why Ryoko and the others kept saying that Ryu was Japanese.
Like her, because of this question, she would check the encyclopedia. It is easy to verify her identity information on the encyclopedia. There is no reason why Ryoko would have such a misunderstanding.
Ryoko cried for a full half hour before her mood improved.
During the past half hour, in addition to comforting Ryoko, Xiao Yue also logged onto various social media platforms in Japan to inquire about her situation.
You won't know until you ask, and what you find out is quite surprising.
Many people answered her question, but the answers were all unanimous: the dragon was a Japanese.
Even when she presented the encyclopedia information to these people, many still didn't believe it, and some even thought the encyclopedia was fake.
Now it was Xiao Yue's turn to be confused.
Finally, this issue, like a domino effect, sparked a huge discussion on Japanese social media platforms.
Finally, someone who knew the inside story came forward to clarify that Long was indeed not Japanese, but Chinese.
However, this clarification came like a bolt from the blue, plunging netizens who had claimed the dragon was Japanese into despair.
As she learned more, Xiao Yue finally understood the reason.
This is a question that gets asked almost every year.
The reason is simple: the dragon's influence permeates every aspect of Japanese society.
He's incredibly popular.
He was so popular that people thought he was Japanese.
Upon seeing a dragon, or hearing anything about it, people would first label it as belonging to Japan, and then sincerely admire it.
Very few people seriously consider whether the dragon is actually Japanese.
It was a wonderful misunderstanding, but it was treated as a joke by countless people.
Even though there are related introductions on encyclopedias, for many Japanese people, the dragon is synonymous with the Japanese.
Upon learning that this was the reason Ryoko had the misconception that Ryu was Japanese, Xiao Yue was both amused and exasperated.
At the same time, she also had a deep sense of doubt: could anyone really become this popular?
And this person is actually from China.
It wasn't that she didn't believe it, but rather that it was too far-fetched.
To this day, apart from the superstars of yesteryear who have achieved fame beyond China, no other star has ever been able to reach the Asian stage.
Although many fans may openly claim that their idols are famous everywhere, those who have actually lived abroad know that this is just self-promotion and no one actually acknowledges it.
But the dragon did just that, making the entire Japanese nation subconsciously regard him as one of their own.
Even when the truth is laid bare before them, they refuse to expose the lies in their hearts, always believing that the dragon is a Japanese.
Xiao Yue couldn't understand this mentality at all, but she inexplicably felt a sense of admiration for the dragon.
Just then, Ryoko got up to go to the bathroom to calm down, and Xiao Yue was finally able to rest for a while.
She shifted to a more comfortable position on the bed and noticed Ryoko's lit-up phone, so she picked it up to take a look.
It turned out to be a message notification; since she didn't know Ryoko's password, she only glanced at it.
It was from that quick scan that Xiao Yue was instantly drawn to the headline.
"Ryoko, Ryoko, come here quickly..."
Ryoko, her eyes red and full of confusion, came out. Xiao Yue quickly handed her her phone, gesturing for her to open the messages.
"What?!" Ryoko exclaimed in surprise after taking a closer look.
Hearing Ryoko's reaction, Xiao Yue leaned over to take a look, and the headline read:
At the train station, Long was slapped three times by a high school girl, just so that Long would remember her!
