Chapter 219 Who placed the advertisement?
The weather was very cooperative that day; the sky was clear and the sun wasn't too harsh.
Ji Wanqing's wrist injury had mostly healed, and the bandages had been removed, leaving only a small medical dressing.
At her mother's insistence, she temporarily put aside all her worries and decided to accompany her mother on a shopping trip to enjoy this rare moment of relaxation.
"It's your birthday today. Besides the cake we talked about last time, what else do you want?"
Ji's mother held her daughter's arm, smiling broadly, and looked much better than when she was hospitalized.
"Mom, I don't need anything, I just want to come out with you for a walk and soak up some sun."
Ji Wanqing felt a warmth in her heart, enjoying this tender moment with her daughter.
She deliberately avoided looking at her phone, not wanting to be disturbed by any online messages.
They went to the most bustling commercial district in the city center.
The streets were bustling with traffic and people, and huge electronic advertising screens played a variety of dazzling advertisements on a loop.
As they were crossing a large intersection, Ji's mother suddenly pointed to the giant LED screen on the facade of a skyscraper across the street and exclaimed in surprise.
"Wanqing, look! Isn't that... your picture?"
Ji Wanqing was taken aback upon hearing this and looked in the direction her mother was pointing.
On the giant screen that occupied the entire wall, the luxury goods advertisements that were playing had disappeared, replaced by a photo of her smiling brightly during a live stream, which looked like a screenshot taken during the live stream.
Below the photo is a line of clear and eye-catching artistic font.
Happy birthday, Sunny Tuantuan!
Without a signature or any extra embellishments, just these seven simple characters, they occupy the visual center of the city's most bustling area in an almost domineering manner.
Ji Wanqing froze on the spot, her eyes wide open, almost unable to believe what she was seeing.
My heart felt like it was being clenched tightly by something, and then it started pounding wildly again.
"This...this is..." she murmured to herself, her mind blank.
Passersby noticed the unusual advertisement, stopped to watch, and began to discuss it.
"Sunny Tuan Tuan? Who's that? Is she a celebrity?"
"Looks like a streamer, right? Such a big entourage?"
"Happy birthday? Is this a fan support event or...?"
"How much money will this cost...?"
"Which young master or young lady is in love? This is just trying to make us jealous!"
Ji's mother also realized what was happening, and took her daughter's hand, both surprised and delighted.
"Wanqing! Is this...is this a birthday surprise your fans prepared for you? Oh my god, this is too...too grand!"
Before Ji Wanqing could answer, she heard an even bigger commotion coming from the direction of another square nearby.
Someone pointed over there and exclaimed, "Look over there! There are some over there too!"
She turned her head sharply and saw that the central giant screen of another large commercial plaza not far away, as well as the secondary screens on several high-rise buildings next to it, had all changed to display her photo and the message "Happy Birthday!" at almost the same time.
More than one place!
Her smiling face and birthday wishes were displayed on several iconic electronic screens throughout the city.
Like stars suddenly lit up, they converged in the city during the day, forming a galaxy that shone only for her.
This is no longer a surprise, it's...shocking!
Ji Wanqing stood there, feeling as if the surrounding noise had all drifted away from her.
As she looked at her own images on the screens, an indescribable emotion welled up inside her, and her eyes involuntarily welled up slightly.
She immediately thought of one person.
blank.
He was the only one who ever asked her about her birthday.
This kind of quiet and unassuming demeanor, yet capable of creating a sensation when he does appear, is very much in line with his style of doing things.
"Wanqing... what on earth is going on?" Ji's mother gripped her daughter's arm tightly, her voice filled with excitement and a hint of unease. "So much money, what kind of fan would... would do this? Have I ever seen anything like this before?"
Just then, a young girl next to her suddenly pointed at Ji Wanqing and screamed excitedly.
"Ah—! My sunny wife!"
The sound, like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, drew the attention of countless people.
More and more people are shifting their attention from the screen to her in person.
Curious, scrutinizing, and excited gazes came from all directions.
"It really is her! She's even prettier in person than on live stream!"
"Wow! Did her boyfriend set up those screens? How romantic!"
"Quick, take a picture! Take a picture!"
"Sunny! Happy birthday!" Some bold fans even shouted across the crowd.
Phone cameras were all pointed at her, and flashes went off one after another.
Ji Wanqing subconsciously turned her face to the side, trying to cover herself with her hand, but found that she had nowhere to hide.
She had never experienced such a large audience in person before, and her face flushed with embarrassment. She could only hold her mother's arm tightly and whisper.
"Mom, let's... let's go first."
However, the crowd had already begun to gather, and they found it difficult to escape for a while.
The cacophony of voices, camera flashes, and well-wishes made her dizzy.
Meanwhile, the online world also exploded with this unexpectedly extravagant birthday greeting.
It started when a few fans who happened to be shopping in the commercial area took photos and videos of the big screen and excitedly posted them on fan groups and social media.
[Holy crap!!! Everyone look! I'm at XX Square! All the screens in the city are wishing Qingtian a happy birthday!!!]
[Attached Images] [Attached Images] [Video]
Who was behind this?! It's incredible!
These photos and videos spread like wildfire.
The fan group instantly went wild, and related topics on platforms such as Boiling Point, Big Eye, and various short video platforms saw a surge in popularity.
The hashtags #SunnyTuanTuan'sBirthdaySpectacular# and #CelebratingBirthdayOnScreensAllCitywide# quickly climbed to the top of the trending topics list.
Holy crap! Is this a real-life version of "The Domineering CEO Falls in Love with Me"?!
[What level of tycoon must this be?!]
[Sunny's wife is awesome! Even most celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry don't have this kind of status! This is a super-expensive screen in Beijing! They bought so many seats all at once!]
At that moment, Duan Ye picked up his phone during a training break and saw a link forwarded by his club teammates.
He opened the video and looked at the birthday wishes that covered the city center; his eyes suddenly sharpened.
Zhou Xubai...you finally couldn't hold back anymore.
Moreover, the way they made their move was so earth-shattering.
He turned off the video and continued training with a blank expression, but the force with which he typed on the keyboard was a few degrees heavier than usual.
The rich woman called Ji Wanqing's phone almost immediately, her tone a mixture of excitement and worry.
"Honey! Did you see that?! My God! Who placed that ad? Are you surrounded right now? How are you? Are you okay?"
"I don't know who it is either. I'll tell you later, rich lady."
Ji Wanqing was struggling to squeeze out of the crowd with her mother at that moment, and she had no time to pay attention to anything else.
The surrounding noise made her irritable, and the initial shock and excitement had long been replaced by the current embarrassment and a sense of unease.
