After this farce, Tian Ling and Xiao Min did not see each other again for a long time.
The more Tian Ling thought about it, the angrier she became, and she also disliked Xiao Min even more.
She felt that both Xiao Min and Liu Huishan were deceived by Zu Qi’s sweet words. They were grateful to Zu Qi just for a box of apples. Any adult with some thinking ability would not be so easily deceived, right?
In the next few days, Tian Ling could see Zu Qi’s name appearing on Weibo hot searches. As time went by, his ranking continued to rise.
Tian Ling, who was furious, followed Zu Qi’s Weibo and clicked on the website, only to find that the apples had been sold out?!
And the doubts that lingered in the comment area not long ago had also disappeared without a trace. The top ten most popular products were replaced by netizens who bought Apple out of curiosity. Almost everyone was rushing to post pictures.
For a time, buying apples became a standard for showing off wealth. A rich man even posted a picture of himself buying ten boxes of apples in one go on Weibo. A group of people below shouted “rich”.
Tian Ling: “…”
This matter seemed to be developing in the wrong direction.
So Tian Ling threw away the phone and was so angry that she couldn’t sleep all night.
The next day, a friend celebrating her birthday invited them all to dinner. Even though Tian Ling knew that Xiao Min was also going, she had to take a taxi to the restaurant out of sympathy.
Now it was the winter vacation, and during this time, they stayed at home lying down and playing with their mobile phones every day. They often thus stayed up until three or four o’clock in the morning and slept until noon the next day without being able to get up. There was thus a bunch of fresh acne on their faces, and their skin quality had deteriorated and gotten extremely bad.
Even though Tian Ling put on makeup and applied a thick layer of foundation, she still couldn’t hide a few protruding red pimples on her forehead. When she came to the restaurant and saw her friend who also had pimples and panda eyes, she couldn’t help but gloatingly laugh.
“Oh, you have so many pimples on your face!” Tian Ling said without mercy.
“You still have the nerve to accuse me, don’t you have acne on your face?” Her friend couldn’t help but roll her eyes.
Tian Ling gloated: “But I don’t have as many acne as you.”
The two of them joked for a while, then saw other invited friends entering the box one after another, and started teasing those people again, until Xiao Min, who had arrived late, appeared. Then the group of people were instantly stunned.
They still remembered that the last time they met, Xiao Min was still troubled by acne all over her face, but now her skin was white, tender and smooth, with no trace of acne marks visible.
If Tian Ling hadn’t seen Xiao Min’s previous skin condition with her own eyes, she would have thought that she was born with good acne-free skin. However, when they were fighting acne together in the past, how could Tian Ling not know Xiao Min’s skin type??
During the dinner, Tian Ling secretly glanced at Xiao Min from time to time. She wanted to ask Xiao Min what products she had used recently, but then she thought about the big fight she and Xiao Min had just a while ago over Zu Qi and she felt embarrassed to ask.
After the meal and birthday cake, it was time for everyone to give gifts.
In full view of everyone, Xiao Min took out a beautifully packaged small box and handed it to the birthday girl with a smile: “Didn’t you ask me how to get rid of acne? Just eat this, it’s the best choice for beauty.”
The birthday girl looked surprised, then she suddenly couldn’t help but open the small box at the urging of everyone, and took out two apples from it with some confusion.
“This is…” the birthday girl hesitated.
“These are the apples I bought at Zu Qi’s store.” Xiao Min said, “Now those apples have been sold out. Even if you want to buy them, you can’t buy them. I know that my words seem unfounded. You can take them back and eat them before talking.”
Although the birthday girl also felt that Xiao Min was a bit crazy in doing this, she was concerned since Xiao Min and Tian Ling had quarreled over these apples not long ago. Even though the birthday girl felt a little uncomfortable, she suppressed it for the time being and accepted Xiao Min’s gift with a smile.
Everyone who saw this scene gave up their intention to talk to Xiao Min, especially Tian Ling, who was about to make a move before. She felt that she was stupid for not being able to help but ask Xiao Min for a prescription just now.
She had to say, Xiao Min was really stunned.
Originally, this matter was considered to be over, but one day, when Tian Ling went shopping with some friends, she saw the birthday girl’s Moments and found out that she had actually gone to Malaysia to play?!
“Traitor!” A friend immediately said angrily, “We agreed to get rid of the acne and go out to play together, but she ran out first.”
Tian Ling opened the photo and looked at it carefully, and was a little surprised: “She and Xiao Min are the only two who went out individually?”
“It’s just the two of them… No, when did their relationship become so good?” Another friend said, and then she didn’t know what she saw, and her voice suddenly became sharp, “Look, her face!”
The birthday girl in the photo smiled like a delicate flower in bloom, and her fair and smooth skin was so beautiful that the passers-by had become her foils under the bright sunshine on the beach.
Tian Ling maximized the photo, stared at it for a long time, and murmured: “The acne on her face is all gone…”
At first, Tian Ling and others didn’t believe it, deceiving themselves into thinking that all the photos had been carefully retouched by the birthday girl by smoothing away her acne and facial blemishes, this perception lasted until they saw the birthday girl who came back from traveling with their own eyes – and then, the apples sold by Zu Qi became very popular in their small circle.
Unfortunately, when Tian Ling and others hurriedly took out their mobile phones and entered the website, they remembered in despair that the apples had long been sold out. There were apples for sale on Taobao and Xianyu, but they were 300 yuan each, and the price had increased six times, not to mention no one knew whether they were real or fake.
In desperation, Tian Ling and others had to pin their hopes on Xiao Min, but Xiao Min refused their request without saying a word.
“I kindly wanted to share the hard-earned apples with you before, but you didn’t appreciate it and slandered Zu Qi with such bad words, so you’d better find another way.” Xiao Min smiled half-heartedly, with a hint of ridiculing her eyes.
Hearing this, Tian Ling and others suddenly blushed with shame. They opened their mouths silently and finally ran away.
Soon after, the apples sold by Zu Qi gradually became popular in Tian Ling’s life circle. Only then did Tian Ling realize belatedly that there were so many people around her joining in the fun and buying apples.
She watched eagerly as those people finished eating the apples, and their skin became more delicate and smoother. She regretted it so much that her intestines turned blue. She wished she could go back to the night when she and Xiao Min quarreled and go directly to the website to place an order and buy a few boxes.
Later, Tian Ling was determined to post a few messages on Weibo about buying apples. Unexpectedly, she did not buy the apples but received several sarcastic comments.
[Ouch, isn’t this Qi Qi’s little fan? Since you want to buy Qi Qi’s apples, why not change your waistcoat? On your Weibo, you still liked the Weibo of the marketing account that blacked Qi Qi.]
[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha I laughed to death, it is really a reincarnation of heaven, you also have today!]
[Can I ask you to be a little self-conscious about being a black fan?! Please keep hating Zu Qi and don’t let him have any chance to make money from you! Leave the apples to us passers-by and fans, okay? [dog head][dog head]]
….
Tian Ling read Weibo for a while, and finally couldn’t stand the overwhelming regret and grievance anymore, so she lay down on the bed and cried loudly.
Not only Tian Ling, but also many people who had made doubtful comments online were also struggling with regret.
As they watched those Apples become more and more popular on Weibo, and even many big Vs and celebrities personally selling Amway, they suddenly felt as if they had missed out on 100 million.
First, Liu Jing retweeted Zu Qi’s promotional website on Weibo one after another, revealing in her words that she would ask Zu Qi for an interview later in the year. Then Heng Jingchen and Liu Huishan took action one after another.
The most surprising thing was that the 700 million actor Qiao Yang actually posted a Weibo about the apple. The picture was of Qiao Yang holding an apple and preparing to eat it after filming. There was only one sentence written on it.
“Apples are still the most delicious.”
The comment area instantly became abuzz, and many CP fans of Qiao Yang and Zu Qi came over to ask Qiao Yang if he was selling his wife’s Amway, praising Qiao Yang for coming out for his wife.
Since the male protagonist and the second male lead in the original “Palace Wall” were somewhat suspected of being a couple, and because Qiao Yang often posted intimate photos of himself and Zu Qi on Weibo recently, it had attracted a lot of rotten girls to watch.
There were even CP fans who had created Tieba and official Weibo and had recruited many writers and artists. They sent out candy every day, and below were a group of CP fans who were waiting for food.
But since some people liked the combination of Qiao Yang and Zu Qi, some people also hated the fujoshis tying them together.
Qiao Yang’s only fans all said that they would not let their idol date even if they took them away. Their idol just liked to eat apples. Where did the stupid rotten girls come from to think about bundling him with a certain little star with a lot of scandals all day? No more bundling hype.
As soon as these words came out, Zu Qi’s only fans also became angry, so they rolled up their sleeves and started a war directly under Qiao Yang’s Weibo.
Not long after the war started, Xue Jue and Zu Qi’s CP fans swarmed into the battle, constantly emphasizing that Xue Jue and Zu Qi were legitimate husband and wife and would not accept the intervention of a third party like Qiao Yang.
This Weibo was posted less than two hours ago, and the comment area was filled with chaos.
At that time, Zu Qi had just finished lunch at Qiao Yang’s place. After hearing these bad remarks, he said to Qiao Yang very embarrassedly: “I’m sorry, I didn’t expect that the situation would develop like this.”
Qiao Yang smiled nonchalantly and said: “Anyway, with the heat, my goal will be achieved.”
Zu Qi smiled.
“But having said that…” Qiao Yang deliberately prolonged his tone and glanced at Zu Qi with meaningful eyes, “Weibo is full of our cp fans, won’t your family be jealous when they see it?”
