SED ### Chapter 12: Lao San, You're Famous
"Whoa, Fatty, do you want to die?"
"Fatty, why are you howling like a wolf early in the morning? Do you want me to castrate you?"
Song Qingshan and Bai Liansheng, who were sleeping soundly, were so scared they almost fell from their top bunks.
Seeing Su Nuo standing by the bathroom door, holding his phone with both hands and his fat jiggling like waves, they were furious.
"Whoa!" Fatty shouted, "Boss, Lianjie, look at this, it's Lao..."
As he spoke, Su Nuo sent the link to them directly.
"Stop bullshitting! Don't try to fool us!" Song Qingshan and Bai Liansheng weren't letting him off and started getting dressed to jump down.
"Hey, I'm not fooling you..."
Fatty explained, but seeing that the two were about to start a fight, he quickly played the video and turned up the volume.
"We cried, we laughed, we looked up at the sky, the stars were still shining..."
The slightly hoarse and deep singing voice started, and both Song Qingshan and Bai Liansheng stopped what they were doing and listened quietly.
The singing was beautiful, the lyrics simple, yet it deeply touched them.
When the song ended, they snapped back and looked at Su Nuo, saying, "Fatty, who is this singing? It’s so damn good!"
"See for yourself, there's a link on WeChat!" Fatty, feeling he had escaped a beating, started to recover his mischievous nature. "Hehe, you would never guess who sang this!"
Ignoring him, Song Qingshan and Bai Liansheng clicked on the WeChat link.
After watching the video again, Song Qingshan suddenly said to Bai Liansheng, "Lianjie, hit me!"
Smack!
Bai Liansheng unhesitatingly slapped Song Qingshan hard on the back of his head.
Fatty winced, "Lianjie, you used all your strength for that."
Bai Liansheng shrugged innocently.
"Hiss!" Song Qingshan gasped and exclaimed, "Whoa, that hurt! It’s real, this song was sung by Lao San!"
......
Last night, Xiao Yueyue kept listening to stories and clinging to Liu Zixia until she finally fell asleep at midnight.
By morning, the little girl couldn’t wake up.
Liu Zixia, not wanting to disturb Xiao Yueyue’s sleep, headed to the kitchen to make her a loving breakfast.
Knock, knock, knock!
Suddenly, there was a loud knocking on the door, forceful enough to almost knock it down.
"Who is it, so early in the morning?" Liu Zixia, wearing an apron, frowned and ran to open the door.
"Lao San, you're famous, do you know that?"
As soon as the door opened, before Liu Zixia could see who it was, a lively ball of flesh squeezed through the door.
"Fatty, Boss, Lianjie?"
Seeing the two people standing at the door, Liu Zixia was stunned for a moment, "What's going on, guys? Why are you here so early?"
"Hahaha, Lao San, we brought you breakfast!" Song Qingshan laughed, raising the plastic bag in his hand.
"Well, saved me the trouble of making breakfast." Liu Zixia laughed, "Come on in!"
"Hey, Lao San, why are you ignoring me?" Fatty, who had squeezed in first, felt neglected.
"Ignore you?" Liu Zixia gave him a look, "You burst in without a word; anyone would think you were robbing the place!"
"Hehe, I was just excited!" Fatty scratched his head, smiling foolishly.
"Boss, Fatty, this isn’t the time for that!"
Bai Liansheng, with a delicate gesture, adjusted the non-prescription glasses on her nose, "Lao San, did you take Xiao Yueyue to the Tree Restaurant for lunch yesterday?"
"Hey, Lianjie, are you psychic?" Fatty looked at Bai Liansheng in surprise, "How do you know that?"
Bai Liansheng didn't respond, just handed her phone to Liu Zixia.
Liu Zixia took the phone and immediately recognized the familiar song.
"Hmm?"
Liu Zixia was surprised and thought, "Isn't this the song I sang yesterday?"
Looking closely at the phone, he found it was a WeChat push notification for today’s top story.
The top story was a video, and the accompanying report stated that the video went viral in the early morning, especially on Jinghua Sky, where almost all new posts discussed the video.
"Who filmed this?" Liu Zixia scratched his head.
"Hehe, Lao San, you should check Jinghua Sky; the whole forum is on fire!" Song Qingshan said as he put the breakfast on the table.
"Alright, you guys start eating, I'll take a look." Liu Zixia returned to his room, turned on the computer, and logged into Jinghua Sky.
As soon as he logged in, he saw the scrolling banner at the top of the forum.
He clicked on it, which led to the post 【Under the Tree, Just Happened to Meet You!】, featuring the prominently edited video.
Below the video were icons for liking and disliking, represented by a small fist and a small brick, respectively.
The small brick had 1,403 hits, while the small fist had a staggering 600,000 likes, and the number was still climbing.
"Does this mean I’ve gone viral?"
In his previous life, Liu Zixia was a top domestic singer who later became an executive in an entertainment company, so he was used to this sort of thing.
Moreover, Liu Zixia knew very well that the video's popularity was temporary and could be replaced by other content within a day or two.
So Liu Zixia wasn't particularly excited; he was simply happy that more people heard the song "Just Happened to Meet You."
"How does it feel, Lao San? You're famous now!"
In the living room, Fatty, munching on a bun, rolled over like a ball when he saw Liu Zixia come out.
"I'm still not sure!" Liu Zixia rolled his eyes, "Eating doesn’t shut you up."
"Lao San, why aren’t you excited?" Song Qingshan was also puzzled, "With this song, you’re sure to attract attention from entertainment companies. You know, many of our seniors are still struggling to get noticed after graduation. They don’t have your opportunity!"
"Boss, you’re thinking too simply." Liu Zixia shook his head, "This video is just a temporary hit; in a few days, people will forget about it."
