Hello Mr. King-Chapter 76 - Inspirational Life

Chapter 76: Inspirational Life

Yun Xiangxiang didn’t know that this scene was posted to the internet right after it was photographed by the reporter. Since the reporter wasn’t an entertainment reporter, the news wasn’t in the entertainment section. The headline was called: The Correct Way to Start Chasing after Idols.

Various media followed closely and reported this matter. Some of them even interviewed Mrs. Yang. She praised Yun Xiangxiang highly in the video. Her speech was laced with words of gratitude and accolades.

Headlines like “On the Power of Goddess”, “An Idol’s Influence”, “Inspirational Star Chasing Experience” soon popped up. Yun Xiangxiang immediately gained a wide following on Weibo.

Parents, a large part of whom were especially hounded by their children’s act of chasing after their idols liked and shared the report. Chasing after one’s idol was a commonplace occurrence, but a large part of it was blind following. It was a bad habit to have.

Most parents said that if their kids chased after idols with rationality and could inspire others, they would spend every penny they had to accompany them in their pursuit. The whole family would become fans of the idol as well.

Yun Xiangxiang had a wave of young fans pouring in before. This matter now had her seeing a wave of elder fans in the form of parent pouring in.

This matter did not end just like that. Yang Qi was now widely followed. A lot of people investigated him.

They found out that he was first place in an exam held in a county. His parents were normal employees. His family’s conditions weren’t great. Even if he did enter a key junior high [1], his grades were only above average in the beginning. It was about five hundred marks like what he said.

After he watched “Caring Love” later on, he felt an attraction to a pursuit because he had the same name as the female protagonist played by Yun Xiangxiang. On top of that, Yun Xiangxiang was too gorgeous.

However, his family was poor. Even “Caring Love” was watched on a video sharing website after it stopped screening. Yun Xiangxiang also didn’t have any magazines or stickers or stuff like that. He couldn’t afford it either way.

What he could do was to hope to get closer to the goddess. He didn’t have any other motives. He thought that he would be very happy if he could just see her. Every day would be an energetic one.

He followed Yun Xiangxiang’s Weibo and joined the fan club. He shamelessly pestered Song Meng and managed to familiarize with her. He would lend a hand in doing some everyday tasks.

He naturally managed to know more about Yun Xiangxiang from Song Meng. He wasted no effort in studying and his grades improved by leaps and bounds in a year and a half. Even the class teacher and headmaster found it to be unbelievable.

The more people paid attention to this inspirational story, the deeper it got dug.

A show on Chinese Television System, called “Inspirational Life” contacted the school leader one day before their military training. They wanted to invite Yun Xiangxiang and Yang Qi to be interviewed for an episode of the show.

Chinese Television System was different from any other TV stations. It was a channel that represented the nation. Even the school leader paid great importance to it.

They promised to not interfere with any decisions Yun Xiangxiang would make when she first came to school. That was why the dean sought her out to discuss with her himself.

Yun Xiangxiang had to respect Huan Yu Century Entertainment’s decision when it came to showing up on TV. She called He Wei, “Brother Wei, I know it’s late at night where you’re at. I’m sorry for interrupting. I have something here…”

After he finished listening, He Wei said, “Go for it. It will have a positive effect on your image.”

This kind of show had a completely different meaning than any variety show. Besides, he knew Yun Xiangxiang’s every move like the back of his hand even if he was overseas. Yun Xiangxiang was giving him more and more surprises. It had already greatly surpassed what he expected.

Yun Xiangxiang had no more issues once He Wei agreed to it.

Yang Qi’s family’s condition was dismal. Even though he was first place in a county, he didn’t reach Yun Xiangxiang’s level where all tuition fees could be waived and various scholarships were promised unto her.

With the media’s follow-up report, Yun Xiangxiang already knew that Yang Qi’s family really gave their all to send him to university. They were now destitute.

Yang Qi could also get a reward for going on a show.

Being able to go on a show with his goddess was good fortune for Yang Qi. He wouldn’t reject it. Anything else was secondary.

So they promised to go on the show three days later. It would also be a live broadcast.

This news instantly traveled across the whole campus. Lots of people envied Yang Qi. A top student might not pursue beauty as hard as a normal person would. However, they would submit to another top student that was beyond them.

Yun Xiangxiang came in as the nation’s top. She naturally was the top student among top students. Now she was already a legend on campus.

With the embellishment of Yang Qi’s news, her legend became a stroke more colorful.

Anyone would want to get close to such a brilliant person.

When Yun Xiangxiang returned to the bedroom that night, Ma Linlin said to her, “Xiangxiang, I saw a package for you when I went to take mine. I picked it up for you.”

Ma Linlin was another roommate. She liked to sport a high ponytail. Her hair was straight and lustrous. She looked youthful and energetic.

All three roommates had different personalities, but they could get along well.

“Thank you, Linlin,” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t buy anything. None of her friends told her that they would send her anything as well.

Her curiosity was piqued. She walked over to the big package. A text notification rang from her phone. It was a WeChat message sent by Song Mian, “I have prepared some necessities for your military training.”

Yun Xiangxiang tore the package open. A big, exquisite box greeted her. Various elegant decanters were in it.

“Wow, these decanters are pretty. What’s this…sunscreen?” Feng Xiaolu leaned against Yun Xiangxiang. She took the carafe out because there were gorgeous peony engravings on it, “What brand of sunscreen is it? How come I have never seen it before?”

Ma Linlin and Tao Manni came over. Neither of them had seen it before, but it didn’t stop them from liking it, “It’s such a beautiful antique style carafe.”

“Who wrote these on them!?” Tao Manni’s grandfather was a calligrapher. He trained her in various scripts since she was little. Her eyes were glued on the small regular script [2] on the carafe.

The words were tight, powerful, relaxed, and elegant. It was a vivid display of the fine beauty of the small regular script. Not even her grandfather could write on that level.

“Isn’t…isn’t this pen writing?” Feng Xiaolu thought that such handsomely fine writing shouldn’t have been written with a brush.

“It’s written with a brush,” Tao Manni was very sure of it.

“Something smells nice,” Ma Linlin was not really keen with scripts. She smelled something peculiar that could make someone feel comfortable. Eventually, she pulled a pair of insoles out of the box, “It actually came from this!”

“Sunscreen, insoles, insect repellents, lozenges, antidiarrheal, medicine for sunstrokes, medicine for flu…”

The three of them took everything out one by one when they saw that Yun Xiangxiang wasn’t stopping them. All of them were retro decanters that were filled. There were notes on all of them.

Ma Linlin observed Yun Xiangxiang after she finished inspecting the contents. She asked ambiguously, “These are so detailed. This isn’t sent by some everyday friend, is it?”

“Take a guess,” Yun Xiangxiang only gave her two words before tucking everything away in the box.

The trio looked at each other, “There’s a situation! Be honest and we will show you mercy! Refuse, and we will show none!”

“It’s not what you’re all thinking of, yet.” Yun Xiangxiang surrendered to the trio that was slowly drawing near her. She then picked up her phone and texted Song Mian, “Thank you. I have received it. It’s quite practical.”
