Chapter 76: Good Comments From the Publicity Film
The popularity of yesterday had not subsided completely, and there were still many netizens gathered under Qing University’s Weibo, asking him to give an explanation.
Jun Shiling and the others were still trending.
Due to the fact that they had a huge fan base from the novel, every time the production team of “The Long Ballad” released news, it would be extremely popular. However, this time, everyone was busy watching the drama. The production team quietly posted a video of the official announcement on Weibo and was only discovered by the netizens half an hour later.
[ The front row will occupy the pit first. I’ll comment after I finish watching it. ]
[ Eh, why did they suddenly post a promotional video today? ]
[ It’s here, it’s here. I hope Xia Wanyuan isn’t too eye-catching. ]
“Hey, the production team of ‘The Long Ballad’ has released a promotional video. Let me take a look.” Su Mei ate the snacks and fruits that Xia Yu had brought from the manor and clicked on the video sent by the production team happily.
“F*ck!!! I knew my goddess was the most beautiful!!” Su Mei, who was lying on the bed with his legs crossed, suddenly jumped up and shook Xia Yu, who was listening to music with his headphones on. “Brother, look at our goddess!”
“What goddess?” Xia Yu turned around.
Xia Wanyuan! You’ve already entered the live broadcast industry for the goddess, and you’re still saying that you’re not her fan?” Su Mei looked at Xia Yu in disdain. Tsk, what’s there to be embarrassed about chasing a star?
Xia Yu took Su Mei’s phone and clicked on it.
Although the post-production schedule for “The Long Ballad” was a little tight, it was obvious that they had put in a lot of effort into it.
At the beginning of the video, a brush dipped in ink flew over from the sky in a bold and elegant manner. It danced in the hazy mist and gradually, mountains and rivers appeared on the screen.
Accompanied by the melodious sound of a flute, a light boat carrying a man with ink-black hair floated over from the depths of the mountain.
As the light boat floated past, it created layers of ripples. The birds, who were on the lake, was shocked. They flapped their wings and flew past. On the screen, ostentatious words appeared.
The Long Ballad
“The opening scene was really well done. Look at the back.” Su Mei couldn’t help but want Xia Yu to directly go to Xia Wanyuan’s part.
On the towering Qin Chen Mountain, the vegetation was lush and the mountains were clear and beautiful. A butterfly-shaped kite flew out from the corner of the mountain. The tinkling laughter of a young girl accompanied by the youth’s helpless and indulgent exhortations echoed in the mountain.
The scene changed. Under the blue sky and white clouds, the young Lin Xiao and Tian looked at each other and smiled innocently.
The world was in chaos and there were disputes in the pugilistic world. The Qingcheng Mountain of the past was in ruins. Lin Xiao walked the pugilistic world with his sword in hand, went to court, was humiliated, bullied, and misunderstood. However, he did not change the determined chivalry in his eyes.
Tian Ying Er had also gone from being an innocent and naive little sister in the beginning to becoming the gentle and lovely Madam Lin beside Lin Xiao in the end. Her initial feelings for Lin Xiao had not decreased, but there was less innocence and innocence in her eyes.
Halfway through the video, the image of Xia Wanyuan finally appeared. When they first met, it was the young man with starry eyes and the little princess who was unaware of the world. Her veil fell, and she was drop-dead gorgeous, but the shyness that she had when she looked at Lin Xiao was the most moving.
The dynasty had fallen, and the world had changed. In the extravagant hall, the dancer charismatically danced with her rainbow feather dress, making her look like a dream.
In the end, the young knight brought his little sister back to the forest to live in seclusion. The little princess, who he had caught a glimpse of under the light, returned to the familiar palace once again. However, this time, she was returning as the beloved concubine of the new dynasty.
Lin Xiao stood at the peak of the mountain with his little sister staring at him from behind. In the distant Imperial City, the royal concubine, who was dressed in luxurious clothes, was leaning on the railing and looking up at him with joy and sorrow in her eyes.
“How is it? Is Xia Wanyuan so beautiful that you can cry?” Su Mei took the phone and looked at Xia Wanyuan’s dance again.
“Nonsense,” Xia Yu scoffed.
“Hey, Xia Yu, you haven’t told me what your relationship with Jun Shiling is.” Su Mei suddenly thought of something. “You actually know Jun Shiling? He’s a legendary big shot. Can you get an autograph for me?”
“I don’t know him.” Xia Yu touched the tip of his nose unnaturally. “My family knows him. That day, Jun Shiling happened to pass by and brought me back.”
“Alright, that’s impressive. After all, you sat in the same car as Boss Jun.” After all, he was still a student. Su Mei easily believed Xia Yu’s words and never thought that Jun Shiling would pick him up on the way.
Although Su Mei was a straight man, his reaction reflected the attitude of most book fans.
In recent years, there had often been situations in China where novels were adapted into television dramas. However, most of the adaptations had failed. Either the casting was bad or the plot was watered down. In short, very few fans of the novel were satisfied.
Fans of the novel “The Long Ballad” received the news and clicked on the video without much expectations. However, they were attracted by the beautiful opening scene.
By the time the video ended, no one had recovered from the martial arts world in the video.
[ Why do I feel that it’s not bad? ]
[ I hope the drama is as good as the publicity video. ]
[ Are there very few film companies in the country who do such things? The post-production fee is ten million, and the eight million is used to make publicity films. Anyway, I’ve been cheated too many times, I don’t want to watch it. ]
[ I originally thought that Xia Wanyuan was a burden, but it seems… ]
[ Be bold! Xia Wanyuan looks like an outstanding student, while Ruan Yingyu looks like a burden. ]
It was originally a joke between passersby, but now, it incurred the displeasure of Ruan Yingyu’s fans.
In the entertainment industry, there were disputes whenever there were fans, let alone two female celebrities in the same drama. Ruan Yingyu’s fans were eager to fight with Xia Wanyuan’s fans.
In the end, Ruan Yingyu’s fans had already prepared a complete set of combat information, but even after searching the entire internet, they still couldn’t find a single fan of Xia Wanyuan’s.
The only loyal fan of Xia Wanyuan, who was called “the grumpy little lion”, had been reported.
The farce in the entertainment industry had only added to the popularity of the production team. The publicity video posted by the production team of “The Long Ballad” had indeed caused a huge commotion.
Xia Wanyuan’s performance in the publicity film had truly surpassed everyone’s. Even the fans of the actors in the drama had to admit in their hearts that Xia Wanyuan could be said to be the highlight of this publicity film.
Due to the fact that Xia Wanyuan was too shy and moving that day, her alluring dance was the best in television dramas and films. Also, her lonely look after becoming the imperial concubine was full of stories.
On the famous D-Site, many video hosts edited Xia Wanyuan’s scenes separately, mixing them with the scenes in the popular male star’s drama.
In less than half a minute, Xia Wanyuan had used three shots to film all the male celebrities in the film industry. The video directors displayed all sorts of talents and edited Xia Wanyuan’s three shots into tens of thousands of different videos.
In just thirty seconds, Xia Wanyuan had swept through D-Site.
Within two days, eight of the ten videos reviewed by the video reviewers at Station D were related to Xia Wanyuan. It was said that on the night of the audit, the dreams of the Heavenly Spirit Princess were filled with shy smiles.
Chapter 77: Shortlisted for Chinese Arts
The internet was abuzz, but it did not alarm Xia Wanyuan.
At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was engrossed in the homework Jun Shiling had given her.
Ever since Xia Wanyuan showed her interest in finance, Jun Shiling had told her some international theories. After that, he even gave her some “homework”.
Looking at the dense data on the computer, Xia Wanyuan was a little confused. After all, this was the first time she had systematically come into contact with the modern financial system.
But thinking that she was about to take over the Xia family’s business, Xia Wanyuan calmed down and looked at it seriously.
“Young Master, this is Miss Xia’s new publicity video.”
Xuan Sheng’s assistant did not know that Xuan Sheng had lost interest in Xia Wanyuan, so he still showed Xuan Sheng everything about Xia Wanyuan.
Although Xuan Sheng was unrestrained and had an unruly personality, he was indeed talented and serious when it came to work.
Xuan Sheng was flipping through the proposal in his hand. Before he could stop his assistant, the latter had already placed the video in front of him.
Xuan Sheng frowned and was about to turn it off when the video played the first time the Heavenly Spirit Princess met Lin Xiao.
The first time Xuan Sheng met Xia Wanyuan was in a video secretly taken from Ruan Yingyu. From the looks of it, that scene should be the one in the video.
However, the video at that time was too dim. After professional lighting, the entire scene became exquisite.
The street lights were heavy as the masked purple-clothed girl glided over. Her intelligent eyes seemed to contain a pool of spring water. When the light shone in her eyes, it was difficult to tell whether the moonlight was more beautiful or her eyes were more beautiful.
The night breeze blew down the little princess’s veil. She was as beautiful as jade. When he met the handsome knight’s eyes, the little princess’s shy expression actually made Xuan Sheng’s heart itch.
“Tsk.” Xuan Sheng touched the tip of his nose. ‘She’s so pretty. What a pity.’
He had originally thought that Xia Wanyuan was a snow lotus on the peak of ice and snow. Who would have thought that she was just a canary raised by Jun Shiling? Although this canary was embedded with gold and jade and was indeed beautiful, it was only a canary.
Thinking of this, Xuan Sheng turned off the video. He was too lazy to watch anymore.
He reread the proposal in his hand. Although the head of the Xia family’s company did not have much ability, the Xia family’s foundation was deep and the head of the Xia family was considered to be average. Hence, he had always been able to bring him stable benefits.
After he had invested the money, he had rarely cared about the Xia family’s company. He did not expect that after staying abroad for a while, when he returned, the Xia family was already bankrupt. The money he had invested was also deeply involved and he could not withdraw it.
“Tell the investment department to do an evaluation of the Xia family company and arrange a meeting with the company’s representative next week.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
The assistant stepped forward and took the video board. From Young Master Xuan’s expression, he guessed that he had lost interest in Xia Wanyuan. He had thought that Young Master Xuan was serious this time, but his passion had only lasted half a month. However, the assistant only dared to think about these words in his heart.
The higher-ups of the Jun Corporation held another online meeting.
Looking at the familiar large bookcase behind Jun Shiling, everyone knew that President Jun must have held an online meeting at home.
The higher-ups were confused. They felt that conferences had been happening more frequently online recently. Could it be that the Big Boss had something important to attend to at home that prevented him from meeting in the company?
However, everyone only dared to wonder in their hearts. Anyway, they did not have to face Jun Shiling directly in the online meeting, and they really did not want to see him.
“The target for this season is…”
Everyone began to report their work. After an hour, most of the work had been arranged under Jun Shiling’s guidance.
“Jun Shiling, I have a few questions I don’t understand. Can you explain them to me?”
A silvery voice sounded from the camera. When everyone heard this familiar voice, their hearts burned with gossip.
I think it’s the lady from the previous time?
The big boss is hiding a mistress in his golden house!
Wow, wow, wow. I’ve never heard of Big Boss getting married. Could it be his girlfriend?
Jun Shiling was wearing headphones. Xia Wanyuan did not know that Jun Shiling was in a meeting, so she went straight to the study.
“What don’t you understand?”
“I don’t understand some of the data. If you’re busy, teach me later.”
“Wait a moment,” Jun Shiling said to Xia Wanyuan, then looked at the camera in the meeting room. “Do you have anything else to say?”
“No, no. President Jun, we’ve reported everything. Please continue with your work.” Everyone expressed their loyalty, afraid that they would become the brightest bulb in the crowd if they were late.
“Mm.” Jun Shiling closed the meeting room, then got up and walked to Xia Wanyuan. “Let’s go and talk. I’m done.”
“Alright.”
As Xia Wanyuan had expected, her father replied not long after.
Father Xia was willing to give Xia Wanyuan the shares of the Xia family company, but he wanted to continue working in the company, so Xia Wanyuan agreed.
In Father Xia’s heart, Xia Wanyuan was only vain enough to buy the Xia family’s shares with money. As for the details of the company’s governance, Xia Wanyuan had no idea. In the future, he would have to control the matters of the Xia family so that nothing would go wrong.
Although Xia Wanyuan had agreed, she did not intend to hand the company over to Father Xia. Father Xia was a cautious person in the past and liked to use trusted aides instead of focusing on selecting talents.
Over the past few days, she had learned a lot from Jun Shiling. After Xia Wanyuan obtained the shares of the Xia family, she planned to make a major change in management of the Xia family company. Only by injecting fresh blood and handing the company over to someone with the ability and drive would the company continue to develop.
“Hello, Elder Zhong.”
There seemed to be a lot of calls today. She had just finished answering Father Xia’s call when Elder Zhong called.
“Xiao Xia, congratulations. Your artwork has been selected. When will you have the time to come to school?”
Elder Zhong restrained himself a little. In fact, those old men at the art institute looked at the painting as if it was a treasure. They were even more shocked when they heard Elder Zhong say that the painting was drawn by a young person in the twenties.
They all asked Elder Zhong to invite the person who was painting to school. After all, they had lived for so long and had seen countless young talents. However, although the person who was painting was young, the ancient charm contained in the painting was rare.
“Of course.”
Although modern science and technology developed very rapidly, China, a country with a long history, was filled with reverence and admiration for traditional culture. Xia Wanyuan very much admired their attitude towards historical culture.
If her painting style from a thousand years ago could bring some revelations to modern people and allow her to communicate with them, Xia Wanyuan was very willing.
“Xiao Xia, don’t take those comments online to heart. I’ve already clarified things for you.”
After settling the important matters, Elder Zhong thought of the criticism online directed at Xia Wanyuan and consoled her.
Xia Wanyuan thanked Elder Zhong, but even after hanging up the phone, she still did not know what the internet had said about her.
She opened the Weibo account that she had not been on for a long time and saw 999+messages flooded in.
Chapter 78: Master Jun Is Drunk
Xia Wanyuan had thought that these comments would come and scold her as usual, but she didn’t expect that after clicking on a few, there would be people who praised her for her good acting as the Heavenly Spirit Princess. There were also people who praised her for her good acting. However, in the huge army of convicts, there were very few positive comments.
However, it was like the flames of the stars that adorned the vast night sky. Once the east wind blew, it would be like a fire that covered the entire world.
Xia Wanyuan was very sorry that she had troubled Elder Zhong and the Qing University.
Flipping through the Weibo comments, Xia Wanyuan saw a comment with very low reposts. From the tone of the post, it looked like it had been posted by Elder Zhong. Xia Wanyuan clicked on the profile picture of the man in the lonely boat.
As expected, although he did not have many fans, his Weibo verified account said, “Qing University’s Professor, the country’s top economist, Zhong Wei.”
When she was on the phone just now, Elder Zhong had repeatedly instructed Xia Wanyuan to repost his clarification Weibo post. Hence, Xia Wanyuan reposted Elder Zhong’s post on her Weibo profile.
Xia Wanyuan’s Weibo, which was already boiling with excitement, once again blew up.
Because Xia Wanyuan had always posted on Weibo either to flaunt her wealth or to take all sorts of selfies, everyone was already prepared to send “ugly”, “tasteless”, and “don’t flaunt it, you do not look good”.
However, when they took a closer look, they saw that Xia Wanyuan had reposted a text message on Weibo @ Lone Boat Manchurian: ‘Little friend Xia Wanyuan was personally invited to attend the lecture at Qing University by me. I didn’t know about the verification ticket, so I stopped little friend Xia outside. The management of Qing University is very standard. Thank you for everyone’s supervision.’
The comment also posted a photo of the guest list for the lecture.
[ I’m dying of laughter. You even invited her to Qing University yourself. Who do you think you are? Why are you getting in through the back door so openly now? ]
[ She said that she could enter without a ticket just because he invited her personally. Isn’t this a huge management loophole? ]
[ What the hell is this Lone Boatman bamboo hat? I’ll photoshop a hundred of these guest names for you guys in minutes, okay? ]
[ From above, I advise you to click on the profile picture of that Lonely Boat Brawler and take a look at his certification before saying those words. ]
Some rational netizens clicked on the post that Xia Wanyuan had reposted and came out on their knees. When they saw Xia Wanyuan’s comments, their hearts turned cold. They then silently reminded everyone.
After being reminded by this person, everyone clicked on the name “The Lone Boat Brawler” and returned on their knees.
[ Erm, cough, the comments at the beginning have been deleted. I can’t PP this kind of name list. Goodbye! ]
[ This backdoor is done very openly!!! Awesome! ]
[ I’ve thought of countless ways that Xia Wanyuan had public relations, but I never expected that it would be done online by the chief economist with GWY’s special allowance. ]
After seeing Zhong Wei’s Weibo verification, those comments that were filled with doubts and ridicule were quietly deleted.
Those who arrived late only saw that the screen was filled with bad*ss and had no idea what was going on.
With a face full of confusion, he clicked into Zhong Weibo’s Weibo account with the nosy masses. Then, he followed the nosy masses out of Elder Zhong’s Weibo and finally left an NB under Xia Wanyuan’s Weibo account with a look of admiration.
Although there were still some doubtful voices on Weibo, most people gave up on the idea after a heavyweight like Elder Zhong came out to clarify things.
Seeing how public opinion had changed so much in such a short period of time, Xia Wanyuan felt emotional. It seemed that no matter how much time passed, strength was still very important.
If Xia Wanyuan had posted the clarification herself today, probably no one would be willing to believe her no matter what she said. However, if it was Elder Zhong, who was rather influential in the domestic financial world, everyone would be very convinced.
Having been in the modern world for so long, Xia Wanyuan had always been very indifferent. However, at this moment, she did indeed have some thoughts of fighting for power.
It was already dark and Xiao Bao had already finished school, but Jun Shiling had not returned for a long time. Xiao Bao complained that he was hungry, so Xia Wanyuan and Xiao Bao ate first.
There was a small sports meet in kindergarten today. The little dumpling was extremely active and had been dancing and fooling around for the entire day. During the meal, he almost buried his chubby little face in his bowl.
After dinner, she got the nanny to bathe Xiao Bao, who fell asleep the moment he touched the bed.
Xia Wanyuan used her hand to touch Xiao Bao’s fair and tender little face. The baby’s chubby cheeks twitched.
Xia Wanyuan found it fun and pinched Xiao Bao’s face twice more. In his sleep, Xiao Bao felt as if he was being touched by Doraemon, so he pouted and pushed Doraemon away.
There was a sudden commotion downstairs. Xia Wanyuan let go of Xiao Bao’s face and walked downstairs.
Seeing Xia Wanyuan go downstairs, Uncle Wang waved his hand and dismissed the crowd.
“Madam.”
“What’s wrong? Is Jun Shiling back?” Xia Wanyuan seemed to have heard the sound of a car outside.
“Young Master is back. It’s just that Young Master drank some wine today. The chauffeur just reported that Young Master seemed to have fallen asleep in the car. The chauffeur called twice but did not wake him up.”
Uncle Wang looked troubled. “The others didn’t dare to wake Young Master up casually, but it’s easy to catch a cold sleeping in the car, so I wanted to ask Madam to take a look.”
“I’ll go take a look.”
With that, Xia Wanyuan walked out the door. Outside the limousine, the chauffeur was waiting at the door. Seeing Xia Wanyuan walk over, he hurriedly opened the door for her as if he had seen his savior.
Jun Shiling sat on the sofa in the car. Even though he had fallen asleep, he still looked very tidy. When they were close, Xia Wanyuan could smell the strong smell of alcohol on Jun Shiling. It was not unpleasant, but it had a profound and mellow fragrance.
The dim yellow light in the car cast a warm glow on Jun Shiling’s perfect facial features. With his eyes closed, Jun Shiling restrained his aura.
“Jun Shiling?” Xia Wanyuan called out tentatively.
Seeing that Jun Shiling did not react, she sat beside him and shook his arm. “Jun Shiling, go back and sleep. Are you okay?”
Xia Wanyuan was about to call out again when Jun Shiling suddenly opened his eyes. At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was only a step away from Jun Shiling. Xia Wanyuan could clearly see the redness in Jun Shiling’s deep eyes.
“Why did you drink so much?” Xia Wanyuan was somewhat surprised.
Jun Shiling only stared intently at Xia Wanyuan. After a while, as if he had finally reacted, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
“I drank a little too much because of something.” Because he had drunk alcohol, Jun Shiling’s voice was especially low and hoarse.
Seemingly a little drunk, Jun Shiling tugged at his tie. The cool wind outside the car window blew in, clearing his thoughts.
Jun Shiling turned around and was about to let Xia Wanyuan in when he saw her come out in a silk nightgown. He frowned.
He removed his warm suit jacket and covered her with it before she could react.
Chapter 79: Hug
Caught off guard by Jun Shiling’s coat, Xia Wanyuan felt as if she was surrounded by Jun Shiling’s scent.
The faint fragrance of the wine mixed with the sandalwood perfume that Jun Shiling often used enveloped Xia Wanyuan in an aggressive manner. The jacket even had some of Jun Shiling’s warmth left.
Seeing that Xia Wanyuan had been inside for some time and had not come out, the chauffeur tactfully closed the door, leaving space for the two in the car.
“Is there something on your mind?”
Even though in everyone’s eyes, Jun Shiling had the entire Jun Corporation, he was decisive and had boundless glory.
However, in her previous life, Xia Wanyuan had once followed orders and controlled the entire Xia Dynasty.
She naturally understood that the higher one stood, the more they would suffer.
When she was young, she loved to fly kites on the plains in the suburbs of Beijing. The mud melted into the warm wind and she was very happy. In the years that followed, she never saw the blue sky and white clouds in the suburbs of Beijing when she was seven years old.
In his drunken state, after Jun Shiling helped Xia Wanyuan put on his coat, he seemed to have fallen asleep again. He leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes.
Upon hearing Xia Wanyuan’s words, Jun Shiling’s eyelashes twitched, but he did not open his eyes.
“I won’t ask if you don’t want to tell me.”
Xia Wanyuan felt that she might have intruded Jun Shiling’s privacy.
“Today is my parents’ death anniversary,” Jun Shiling suddenly said with his eyes closed. His voice was a little hoarse. “When I was three years old, they passed away due to a car accident.”
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know,” Xia Wanyuan said carefully.
The current Jun Shiling was no longer as cold and aloof as before. It was as if this special day had evoked the gentleness that he had hidden in his heart.
It made one think that the omnipotent and indomitable Jun Shiling was actually like Xiao Bao in the beginning. He knew how to act coquettishly and act cute. Whenever he had something he did not understand, he would come back to look for his parents. He was just a child who needed his parents’ love and care.
“It’s nothing. Go in first. It’s cold outside. I’ll go in later.” Jun Shiling opened his eyes, his deep eyes filled with fatigue.
Xia Wanyuan glanced worriedly at Jun Shiling’s condition before getting out of the car with Jun Shiling’s coat over her shoulders.
After Xia Wanyuan left, the car returned to silence. The darkness outside the window surged and roared, as if it wanted to drill in through the car window and completely swallow Jun Shiling.
Jun Shiling was thinking about many things. His mind was a little muddled after drinking, and he felt even more tired.
However, the car door was suddenly opened and Xia Wanyuan returned. At that moment, Xia Wanyuan was holding a bowl of vegetable egg soup.
Xia Wanyuan closed the car door, blocking out the darkness.
“The servants in the kitchen are already resting. I made a simple soup. Drink it. You probably didn’t eat much tonight.”
As Xia Wanyuan spoke, she handed the egg soup to Jun Shiling.
In the modern world, there was Nanny Li in the villa and a complete set of chefs in the manor. There was no need for Xia Wanyuan to personally cook.
However, although Xia Wanyuan rarely cooked, her cooking skills were exquisite. In her previous life, she had brought along her younger siblings and traveled through chaotic times alone. Even a simple stir-fry would be different.
It was a simple bowl of soup, and the vegetables were picked up after boiling once. As a result, the color of the soup was extremely clear. The vegetables were tender and green, and the egg flowers were evenly distributed in the soup. It was as if countless spring flowers had bloomed between the flourishing plants, making it extremely beautiful.
Jun Shiling took the bowl and drank the soup in large mouthfuls. The hot soup flowed down his esophagus, sending warmth to every part of his body and converging back to his heart.
After drinking a bowl of soup, Jun Shiling felt much more relaxed.
Xia Wanyuan was still wearing Jun Shiling’s clothes. It was obvious that she had gone straight into the house to cook soup, so she came to look for him without stopping.
Xia Wanyuan was not short, but with Jun Shiling’s wide coat, she looked exquisite. Her fair face appeared even more gentle under the warm yellow light.
She was looking down at her book, her long eyelashes casting shadows on her face.
“Xia Wanyuan,” Jun Shiling called out in a deep voice, his deep eyes staring intently at Xia Wanyuan.
Xia Wanyuan was reading a book when Jun Shiling suddenly spoke. She looked up in confusion, and his almond-shaped eyes were as clear as the mountains after the rain.
Caught off guard, Jun Shiling’s aura surged towards her. With his left hand holding her head and his right hand on her shoulder, he hugged her completely.
“You?!” Jun Shiling’s actions were so sudden that Xia Wanyuan did not react in time. She did not even hold the book in her hand as it rolled down Jun Shiling’s leg and onto the ground.
She did not know why Jun Shiling had suddenly acted like this, but based on her understanding of Jun Shiling’s character, Xia Wanyuan was not worried that he would do anything to her. It was just that Jun Shiling’s aura was too strong around her, and her beautiful eyes widened slightly.
“Just for a while.” Jun Shiling’s magnetic and hoarse voice sounded by her ear. Xia Wanyuan could feel the vibration in Jun Shiling’s chest when he spoke.
What surrounded Xia Wanyuan in the suit was Jun Shiling’s burning body temperature. Unconsciously, Xia Wanyuan’s ears flushed red.
Jun Shiling, who was holding Xia Wanyuan in his arms, naturally saw her bright red earlobe.
Chapter 80: Hug
Xia Wanyuan’s body stiffened as she stayed in Jun Shiling’s arms. She didn’t know where to put her hands.
“Xiao Bao is asleep. He seems to have gained some weight.” Xia Wanyuan did not say anything to comfort Jun Shiling directly, but inadvertently mentioned the sleeping Xiao Bao.
Jun Shiling’s grip on Xia Wanyuan’s shoulders tightened.
“Mm.” Jun Shiling responded softly, and Xia Wanyuan didn’t say anything more.
But Jun Shiling already understood what Xia Wanyuan meant. The dead were already gone, so there was no need to miss them too much.
The faint fragrance of Xia Wanyuan wafted over. Jun Shiling’s eyes surged when he saw Xia Wanyuan’s bright red earlobe.
“Are you feeling better?” Being hugged like this, Xia Wanyuan’s body stiffened unnaturally as she stretched slightly.
“Mm.” Sensing Xia Wanyuan’s struggles, Jun Shiling let go of her. His hair brushed across his palm, and a huge sense of loss surged from his heart.
“If you’re in a bad mood, stay here for a while more.”
When Xia Wanyuan was unhappy, she did not like to go to bright and spacious places either. Instead, she stayed in a space with no one else around and allowed her thoughts to wander.
“Stay with me.”
“Huh? Okay.” For some reason, Jun Shiling, who had just asked Xia Wanyuan to accompany him, actually looked a little lonely. Xia Wanyuan’s heart softened.
Although he said that he wanted Xia Wanyuan to accompany him, Jun Shiling did not speak further. Xia Wanyuan also stayed quiet and did not disturb him.
Time passed second by second. It was quiet in the car, but it was different from the silence just now. At this moment, Jun Shiling only felt relieved and not as lonely as before.
Jun Shiling closed his eyes to rest for a while. After drinking a bowl of hot soup and Xia Wanyuan’s invisible comfort, he already felt much more relaxed.
He opened his eyes and was about to call Xia Wanyuan to go back when he realized that she had fallen asleep on the sofa.
Xia Wanyuan was sound asleep. In her sleep, she felt as if she was on a ship that was cruising very smoothly. However, she kept feeling as if there was a heat source leaning on her. Xia Wanyuan reached out to touch it, but the ship suddenly stopped.
Xia Wanyuan opened her eyes slowly and saw the familiar line of his jaw.
“Why am I-” Xia Wanyuan did not finish her sentence. ‘Why am I in your arms?’
Jun Shiling lowered his head and glanced at Xia Wanyuan. “It’s not like I haven’t carried you before.”
Previously, Xia Wanyuan had sprained her ankle and it was inconvenient for her to move. Most of the time, Jun Shiling carried her up and down.
An embarrassed look flashed across Xia Wanyuan’s eyes.
Since they were about to go upstairs, Jun Shiling did not let go and carried Xia Wanyuan back to the bedroom.
The little dumpling was sound asleep. Even though he was mischievous when he was awake, he was incredibly obedient once he fell asleep. He obediently placed his hands by his sides and slept upright, as though he had inherited Jun Shiling’s self-discipline.
After placing Xia Wanyuan on the bed, Jun Shiling pulled the blanket over her and covered her with it. He glanced at Xiao Bao, who was snoring, and Xia Wanyuan, who was blinking her eyelashes. The gloominess on Jun Shiling seemed to have disappeared at this moment.
“Goodnight,” Jun Shiling said softly.
“Okay. Good night.”
The room was peaceful.
The Weibo posts for the past two days seemed to be getting more and more lively by the day.
Before the trending topic that the chief economist had clarified for Xia Wanyuan online, a trending topic called “One Man to Protect the City” gradually climbed onto the trending topic and showed great momentum.
The reason for this trending topic was a video uploaded by a gamer on the topic of Mobile Legends.
He was bored that day, so he clicked into the recommended streamer on the front page of the live-stream. He saw that the streamer, Xiaoyu, had given the advancement round to his nephew for fun.
Seeing that his teammates on Xiaoyu’s side had all been wiped out, he also felt that there was nothing to see. Who would have thought that the broadcaster would have a brilliant plan and fight five people at his best? He defended his base and even turned the tables on him. He destroyed the opponent’s guard tower and finally took over the base.
At that time, he was extremely excited from watching it at home. After the live-stream ended, he was still not satisfied. He specially found a live-stream replay and recorded this video.
His original intention was to post it online and share this exciting scene with everyone. Who would have thought that a marketing account mixed in with the topic of Mobile Legends would see it?
What was a marketing account? It allowed one to go wherever there was traffic. Seeing that the video had potential for traffic, it was directly transferred to the homepage of his Weibo account, attracting many people.
Other marketing accounts also heard the news and immediately, this video began to spread across the internet.
As a result, those who knew how to play games were impressed by the meticulous handling and precise movements of this Glory match.
Those who did not know how to play games were attacked and killed by the five of them like in a novel. The plot with the hope of the entire village to seize victory made their blood boil.
[ One day, the person I love will fight five people alone. He will step on the corpses of the enemy and wear colorful auspicious clouds. He will blow up the crystal on the other side and marry me. ]
[ Those in front, wake up. The person you love will only fight one against five. He will step on the corpses of your teammates, shatter your crystal, and smash your dog head. ]
[ The truth is out. ]
[ Wait for a little brother’s Weibo account in the front row and ask for a live-stream room too. He’s so handsome! Boohoo, I love him. ]
[ I’m asking Little Brother how old is he? Is he getting married? Do you mind Rubbish? ]
[ Let me ask too. Does this little brother have a girlfriend already? Does he mind having another boyfriend? ]
[ The person in front, please don’t take advantage of the situation… ]
Through the repost of marketing accounts and the spontaneous spread of a large number of netizens, this anchor named Xiaoyu instantly became popular on the Internet.
There was even a group of fans who spontaneously formed a small fish fan club and named themselves dried fish.
It wasn’t easy for him to finish an exam. It was rare for Xia Yu to get more sleep in the morning. Just as he was dreaming about wearing golden armor to save the world, his phone kept vibrating.
“Hello.” Xia Yu’s tone was filled with impatience.
“Okay, got it.”
After hanging up the phone, Xia Yu completely forgot about the caller ID. He covered his cup and prepared to continue sleeping.
Three minutes later, “Ah!!!!!!! That d*mn biological clock!!!!”
Ever since they began to supervise Xia Yu’s studies in the dormitory, everyone’s waking hours had become rather regular. Moreover, they rarely slept. They had long developed a biological clock that followed a set pattern. Now, they couldn’t sleep even if they wanted to.
Xia Yu lifted the blanket in frustration and took out his phone.
The person who had called just now was a staff member of the Cat’s Tooth Platform. He told Xia Yu that he was popular on the Internet at the moment and asked him to quickly open Weibo and promote with the company.
Following the company’s guidance, Xia Yu quickly completed the certification of ‘Cat Tooth Host’, ‘Little Fish’. Cat Tooth Live reposted his personal account and introduced it to everyone.
Fans swarmed into Xia Yu’s Weibo to confess.
Some fans noticed that Xia Yu was only paying attention to one person and felt emotional. ‘What a grateful broadcaster. The first thing he did when he opened Weibo was to follow his company.’
However, when everyone, who was touched and moved, clicked on the account that Xia Yu was only interested in,
??????????
Their tiny heads were filled with question marks.
