Chapter 18.

Night.

Zhuang Jiang was lying prostrate on the bed, wearing a silk nightgown. Her long, slender legs swayed gently back and forth.

At 8:00 PM tonight, the official Lady Yun Weibo account had just released several costume photos...

The latest one was hers.

In just one short hour, it had been reposted tens of thousands of times, and the comments were fast approaching the ten-thousand mark.

Zhuang Jiang tapped into Weibo. There were six photos in total—two photos for each of her three different looks.

Her first look was the youthful Yun Niang.

She wore a pink wrap-around dress, squatting beneath a peach blossom tree, her face—as delicate as the blossoms themselves—tilted up slightly.

A rain of peach blossoms fell all over her...

She reached out a hand to brush the petals from her body.

Zhuang Jiang’s second look was a vibrant red outfit.

With arms crossed, she leaned against a wooden door, her slightly raised eyes flashing a seductive smile.

A mix of sharp scolding and playful flirting was all contained within that single gaze.

Zhuang Jiang’s third look was also in red.

Barefoot, she stood once again beneath a peach blossom tree... but this time, her hand was tightly gripping a wooden hairpin.

She lifted her face, staring fixedly at a single point, her expression a complex mixture of sorrow and joy.

These three looks and six photos effectively narrated the not-too-long, not-too-short life of Yun Niang.

Zhuang Jiang opened the comments.

She scrolled down one by one, meeting waves of shock, awe... and countless praises.

Comment A: "My god! Is this really a newcomer?! That gaze, that expression... I refuse to believe this is a rookie!"

Comment B: "This is my new goddess, nobody try to take her from me! These photos are way too good at winning fans!!! I won’t lie, I actually questioned her with my classmates at the start /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~ My face has been thoroughly slapped by the goddess's talent."

Comment C: "Director Zhang’s eye is sharp enough and he’s daring enough... but I have to say, he’s succeeded once again! Looking forward to Lady Yun and Miss Zhuang Jiang’s performance."

Comment D: "Fan for life! I want to be the goddess's leg attachment!"

Comment E: "New goddess! But why hasn't she posted a single Weibo? I want to go leave crazy comments, declare my love, and spam the like button!"

...

For the first time, Zhuang Jiang didn't know what to say.

Even though she had known these photos would cause a sensation, she hadn't realized they would be this successful.

She clicked on her own Weibo profile. In just this one evening, her follower count had already surpassed 100,000...

For an actress who had yet to release a single work, this was undoubtedly a triumph.

After a moment's thought, she decided to post a Weibo update—

"The Northwest trip has come to an end."

She attached a photo taken in the Northwest with Ye Bai and the other two... and @tagged the three of them.

Not long after she posted it...

It was reposted by countless people, and the comments already exceeded a hundred.

Fan A: "Whoa!!! Did the goddess hear my summons? Taking a screenshot on the first floor as a memento!"

Fan B: "The goddess actually posted! Ahhh, Goddess, I love you so much! Please notice me!"

Fan C: "Ahhh, they’re all my favorite actors! The goddess's smile is so beautiful! They get along so well! To those saying the goddess acts like a diva, open your dog eyes and look closely! Confessing my love to the goddess again, heart-fingers~"

...

The door opened and closed.

Tang Qing watched Jiangjiang swaying her legs on the bed and smiled gently.

He walked over and sat on the bed, circling his arm around her waist. He looked at her and asked with a smile, "What’s got you so happy?"

Seeing him, the smile on Zhuang Jiang’s face deepened.

She handed him the phone to look at and spoke with a laugh, "I just realized that Weibo is actually quite fun."

Having said that, Zhuang Jiang propped herself up and looked at him. "Whose call was that just now? You were on it for so long."

Tang Qing took the phone and scanned it; it was mostly positive feedback and words of praise...

He smiled. His Jiangjiang deserved to be loved like this.

He set the phone aside, gently drew her into his arms, and began to speak. "It was my parents... your move at the hospital this morning has already spread through every department."

Zhuang Jiang looked up, but before she could speak, Tang Qing added with a chuckle: "As it happens, my father has several old friends there."

"Jiangjiang..."

Tang Qing rested his hand against her face, sounding a bit helpless. "I suspect our days ahead won't be very peaceful."

Zhuang Jiang hadn't expected that her trip to the hospital today would alert Tang Qing’s family.

However...

She looked at him, her face still carrying a smile. "Since they know, it doesn't matter."

Zhuang Jiang reached out and grasped his wrist, adding, "They were going to find out eventually, and I was going to meet them eventually. It’s just that I’m afraid I won’t have time lately. Wait until... wait until the Lunar New Year, I’ll go with you to pay a New Year’s visit to your parents."

She paused, looking up at him with a smile. "Does that sound good to you?"

Tang Qing looked at her, completely stunned.

He had thought that given Jiangjiang’s personality, she wouldn't be willing to interact with his family or friends.

He had even planned it out...

If Jiangjiang didn't want to go home with him for the New Year, then he would stay with her. Whether at home or traveling... he would stay by her side.

But what did his Jiangjiang just say?

She actually took the initiative to suggest going home for the New Year with him...

She had even already made up her mind to meet his family.

Seeing him spaced out, Zhuang Jiang gently shook his arm and said, "You’re not willing?"

"Huh?"

Tang Qing snapped back to reality. He looked at her and said hurriedly, "It’s everything I could hope for. How could I not be willing?"

He buried his face in the crook of her neck. "Jiangjiang, I’m so happy."

Happy that she considered him, happy for everything she did for him...

Tang Qing’s breath fanned against Zhuang Jiang’s neck, making her feel a bit ticklish. She turned her head slightly, looking at his profile under the lamplight... After a long moment, she reached out to gently stroke his face and said with a laugh, "Silly."
