Chapter 935: A Billion Stars Can’t Amount to You (35)
Translator: Paperplane Editor: Caron_
Before Qian Ge could think things through, two reporters raised their microphones and placed them next to her.
“Miss Qian Ge, may I ask – after everything that just happened, is there anything you want to say?”
“Miss Qian Ge, may I ask how you will apologize to Miss Ji Yi?”
Following the interrogating of Qian Ge from these two reporters, other reporters came to their senses and also surrounded her with their microphones raised.
“Miss Qian Ge, after hearing Xie Siyao’s comments, don’t you think you are lying to the public as your public persona and your real persona contrast completely?”
“Miss Qian Ge…”
–
Holy sh*t! She practically blew my mind! I truly never imagined Qian Ge would actually be that kind of person!”
“Yeah! I really thought Ji Yi’s car accident just an accident! I never imagined that someone orchestrated it!”
“To have a best friend like that is freaking tragic. I heard Ji Yi was in coma for three whole years! When she first returned to the industry, I heard she wasn’t very fit and after filming for a while, she would break out in a sweat.”
“Xie Siyao was freaking awesome! She actually called the police to hand herself in at the end!”
“She must’ve had enough! If it were me and my boyfriend got stolen and my child was miscarried as a result, I would’ve done the same!”
“So after everything that was said, Qian Ge really has no bottom line! Xie Siyao is a pretty pitiful!”
“What do you mean pitiful? She was an accomplice back then! If Qian Ge hadn’t pissed her off, would she have done it? She doesn’t deserve any sympathy at all!”
“Yeah! She’s not worth sympathizing over. It’s a dog-eat-dog world! But about He Jichen, I think he’s pretty manly! He actually stabbed Qian Ge with a knife for the woman he loved! What did he say again? He gets major boyfriend points!”
“He said: ‘I will take your life in return for the injustice you inflicted on her’!”
“Yeah yeah yeah!! So he’s still the God and he was never tarnished after all…”
…
In comparison to the endless excitement upstairs in the hotel room, the atmosphere in the dining hall, which had been live streaming everything, was equally lively.
Soon after Xie Siyao hung up her call to the police, the police rushed into the hotel room.
Xie Siyao wasn’t the only one handcuffed and taken away; Qian Ge was also arrested.
The reporters didn’t stop taking photos, despite the police’s warnings.
The live stream broadcasted everything on the big screen of the dining hall up until Qian Ge stepped into a police car.
Qian Ge couldn’t be seen on the screen. Ji Yi’s gaze had been glued on the big screen ever since she came downstairs ages ago after changing into the new gown.
He Jichen withdrew his lifeless gaze, turned his head and looked over at Ji Yi.
The expression on her face was delighted and excited, but not over the top. There was a glint in her eyes and the corners of her lips were slightly raised. It let He Jichen know that in that very moment, she was incredibly happy deep down.
He Jichen’s gaze turned a little warm as he stared at her for a while. Then he whispered, “Let’s go.”
When Ji Yi heard this, she let out an “Okay” but her eyes never left the big screen.
He Jichen got up first and fixed his shirt. Then he reached out and helped Ji Yi carry her bag.
Sensing that he’d shifted, Ji Yi, who was still staring at the big screen, hurriedly got up and prepared to leave.
He Jichen naturally held Ji Yi’s hand and he escorted her to the door.
Ji Yi glanced back at the big screen after every three steps.
It wasn’t until after they left the dining hall, got into the car, and He Jichen bent over to fasten her seatbelt that Ji Yi suddenly grabbed his hand. She put it to her mouth then unexpectedly bit him.

The pain made He Jichen’s hand tremble abruptly.
After sensing his reaction, Ji Yi stopped biting. She raised her head, looked over at He Jichen and asked, “Did it hurt?”
He Jichen swept a look at the clear teeth marks on the back of his hand then let out a “Hmph!”
Ji Yi instantly laughed. “Looks like I didn’t just dream up everything that happened!”
So to test if she was dreaming or not… she deliberately bit me?
Ji Yi’s final word hadn’t fallen when He Jichen realized what she just did. He lowered his head and covered her lips.
Quite a few people who had come to watch the drama started to leave the hall after everything unfolded too.
The parking lot was open-air, so there were people walking around everywhere.
He Jichen kissed Ji Yi without any reservation, so it instinctively made Ji Yi want to shy away. “He Jichen, there are so many people around…”
He Jichen seemed to not have heard her because he turned his head slightly, found her lips again, and bit down hard.
He kissed her roughly and slowly for a while until Ji Yi’s little face turned red from holding her breath. That was when He Jichen finally let her go.
He wasn’t in a hurry to release her lips, so he kept his lips glued upon hers and whispered, “You just bit me. Now I bit you, so we’re even…”
He’s such a petty man! I just bit him a little, and he wanted to bite me back… Ji Yi pouted.
He Jichen kissed her lips like that twice then drew closer to Ji Yi’s ear. He lowered his voice and said in a seductive voice, “Compared to biting my hand, I like it more when you bite me down there…”
Ji Yi, who instantly understood him, bit He Jichen hard on the face without a second thought. “He Jichen, you jerk!”
“When we get back home, I’ll show you how much of a jerk I can be!” replied He Jichen in a great mood as he rubbed the spot on his face where he got bit. He shut the car door, walked around the front of the car then got in.
The car started up and drove just a short distance away when Ji Yi’s eyelashes fluttered. She started to talk non-stop to He Jichen.
“He Jichen, don’t you feel like your anger’s been all vented out?!”
“Haha~ I never even dreamed Xie Siyao would ruthlessly beat Qian Ge like that. Even though I never hit her, it felt awesome to see her get beat up!”
“But Qian Ge really doesn’t have a bottom line. She actually seduced Xie Siyao’s boyfriend and drugged her. Even though I really hate Xie Siyao, seeing them fight like that was pretty exciting! But I never knew Xie Siyao lost a child and was then played around by Qian Ge like that. Now that I think about it, she’s really pitiful!”
“Sigh… with all that said, it’s all Qian Ge’s fault!”
“Huh? I think I went off topic. Anyways, I should be happy…”
I should be happy. The truth behind why you stabbed Qian Ge is finally out for the public to know. Even though you didn’t do anything wrong, you won’t be labeled as a “murderer” anymore.
I should be happy. The heavens treated me well in the end. After I dropped my grudge, God inflicted karma upon Qian Ge.
I should be happy to have met you in my lifetime. I fell in love with you and am with you.
I should be happy. The moment I felt like I was going to die, you didn’t care about your own life and tried to help me get justice.
Ji Yi stared out the window at the night sky endlessly passing by. All of a sudden, she remembered the charity gala from three years ago. She pretended to be pushed over by Qian Ge at the party, embarrassing herself on a live broadcast and inciting tons of people to curse her.

That night, she actually didn’t twist her ankle, but He Jichen immediately rushed over to her when he saw the live broadcast.
He didn’t look good as he took her back, but when she called Qian Ge on a public phone to rub some salt in the wound, he still helped her.
After she got in the car, he lectured her, yet she felt unusually warm.
She clearly remembered the words she said to him that night: “I wanted to surprise you.”
The atmosphere in the car was a little strange at the time. She half-jokingly said, “I was hoping YC would promote me, but if YC shuts down…”
Before she could finish, he said, “Without YC, you still have me.”
It felt like those words were spoken in slow-mo as each and every word leapt into her heart. All of a sudden, that night, a sentence appeared in her heart, “The glorious spring fell into autumn waters, summer days shone on spring mud. From here on out, you are the only one in my heart.”
That was when she deeply and completely fell in love with him.
Three years later, at the same charity event and driving on the same road, they were together now.
…
Before He Jichen got in the car, he told Ji Yi that even more heinous things were waiting for her when they got back home.
After they returned home, He Jichen really did more heinous things to Ji Yi for a long time.
After Ji Yi fell asleep from complete exhaustion, He Jichen, who had his eyes shut and looked fast asleep, opened his eyes, turned his head and stared at Ji Yi’s sleeping face for a while. Then he gently removed the covers, got out of bed, and walked into the bathroom.
When He Jichen stepped out again, he was dressed immaculately.
He walked over to the bedside and pulled the covers over Ji Yi. He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Then he grabbed his wallet and car keys before leaving the bedroom.
After he reached the parking lot and drove out of the residential area, He Jichen stopped the car by the road, glanced at his own home, reached for his phone and sent Chen Bai a message.
Chen Bai sent him a message two hours ago.
After He Jichen read it, he sent Chen Bai a reply then stepped on the gas again. He maneuvered the steering wheel and drove ahead on the empty streets deep into the night.
“Mr. He, would you like a cup of tea?”
He Jichen shook his head and immediately asked, “Where is she?”
“In the interrogation room,” replied the person who escorted He Jichen. He then asked, “Do you want to go see her now?”
He Jichen nodded gently in silence.
“This way, Mr. He.”
He Jichen caught up to the person escorting him.
They walked down the hallway and took two turns before the person escorting him stopped after they reached the darkest part of the hallway. He pulled out some keys, opened the door then turned to He Jichen and said, “Here.”
He Jichen nodded slightly. After the person escorting him stepped back, he shut the door.
Qian Ge was sitting inside. She thought her lawyer had arrived, so she abruptly lifted her head when she heard the sound.
When she saw He Jichen, the joy in her eyes instantly froze.
He Jichen ignored the change in Qian Ge’s gaze and stood at the door quietly for a moment. Then he raised his feet and stepped in.
He elegantly shut the door then leisurely walked up to the chair and desk in front of Qian Ge. He reached out and gently pulled the chair back as he casually sat down.
Qian Ge’s gaze followed He Jichen’s path from the door to right in front of her.
She stared at He Jichen unwaveringly for a long time. She noticed he didn’t show any intentions of speaking, so her lips twitched and she softly asked, “Are you here to laugh at me?”
Chapter 938: A Billion Stars Can’t Amount to You (38)
Translator: Paperplane Editor: Caron_
“Do you think I’m that kind?” asked He Jichen with a soft mocking voice. He lifted his eyelids and swept Qian Ge a glance.
He didn’t wait for Qian Ge to speak again before answering, “I’m here to strike you while you’re down.”
Qian Ge pursed her lips tightly as she stared at He Jichen.
He Jichen didn’t get mad. He pulled his phone out and tapped the screen a few times before he showed it to Qian Ge.
It was a conversation thread.
He Jichen and Chen Bai’s conversation.
He Jichen: “Help me find out who Qian Ge’s lawyer is.”
Chen Bai replied: “It’s Zhu Yi.”
He Jichen: Contact him and ask him to reject all of Qian Ge’s commissions.”
It was no wonder her lawyer hadn’t appeared for so long after she asked someone to contact him. As it turned out, He Jichen had been preventing him from showing up… The corners of Qian Ge’s lips pursed more tightly. Her fists clenched and visibly trembled.
He Jichen sat in front of her calmly like he was nonchalantly admiring Qian Ge on fire. As though something just came to mind, he said, “Oh yeah! Without Zhu Yi, you can still call a different lawyer…”
“I should think about this…”
As He Jichen said this, he pulled his phone back from Qian Ge then typed away on the screen for a while. He pushed the phone before Qian Ge’s eyes again.
There was a new message on the messages screen. He Jichen sent out: “Also, greet all the lawyers.”
Qian Ge looked at the screen for a while. Her head shot up and stared at He Jichen. “He Jichen, don’t take it too far!” exclaimed Qian Ge with gritted teeth.
Take it too far? What a real shame. To other people, perhaps he wouldn’t have taken things this far, but towards her, he didn’t show the slightest hint of mercy.
An inkling of mockery rose within He Jichen’s eyes.
His expression fell upon Qian Ge’s eyes. He was too much of an eye-sore as Qian Ge got agitated again. “What are you all smug about?! This time, I’m screwed because of Xie Siyao. It wasn’t like you were personally for it! Aren’t you so great? Didn’t you announce you’d trade your life to get justice for Ji Yi? But in the end, didn’t you achieve nothing?”
“All I can say is that you’re lucky. You hit the jackpot from my misunderstanding with Xie Siyao! Between us, you’ve fought life and death for Ji Yi for so long, but in the end, you had to rely on Xie Siyao! Haha…”
As Qian Ge’s laughter dissipated, He Jichen also laughed. “I always figured you were really smart. I never imagined you weren’t actually that smart after all. Even now, you don’t know how you got taken out?!”
Qian Ge furrowed her brows slightly then she suddenly went completely silent.
She stared at He Jichen for a while before she spoke as though she finally figured something out. “You took the photos of Xie Siyao and Yang Li under my name and sent them to Chen Mingda?”
He Jichen didn’t say anything.
Qian Ge gulped. After a moment of silence, she continued by saying, “You were working with Yang Li long ago? Yang Li was only working with Xiao Yang because Yang Li wanted Xiao Yang to betray me?”
He Jichen still didn’t make a sound.
This time, Qian Ge didn’t pause for too long before she continued. “You knew long ago that I was going to drug Ji Yi at the charity gala, so you told Yang Li to switch the drugs…”
Chapter 939: A Billion Stars Can’t Amount to You (39) Translator: Paperplane Editor: Caron_
“…At the same time, you let Yang Li take me away from the dining hall. After the drug kicked in, I was taken upstairs then Yang Li sent Chen Mingda the text?”
Having figured everything out, Qian Ge saw that He Jichen still hadn’t said a word, so she asked, “Am I right?”
“Looks like you’re not as dumb as I thought you were…” said He Jichen after a prolonged silence. “…But you forgot one point… You thought your luck changed lately and took on so many jobs, but Chen Enterprise didn’t give you those jobs…”
As He Jichen said this, Qian Ge understood. The corners of her lips turned into a smile as she nodded endlessly and replied to He Jichen. “…Did you get those for me?”
“You did it on purpose, didn’t you? After you got me those jobs, I thought of a plan to tell Xie Siyao. That made her think Chen Mingda and I were together; it made her think I sabotaged her to get with Chen Mingda.”
“It was no wonder that Xie Siyao ruined herself and tried to drag me down. So as it turns out… so as it turns out… so as it turns out…”
Qian Ge repeated “so as it turns out…” three times. After this, she started to chuckle. As she laughed and laughed, tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
She was celebrating the fact that although she was screwed, it wasn’t at the hands of the man she liked. At the very least, she felt a little better.
In the end, she was overthinking things. In the end, the person she loved personally pushed her into hell!
She loved him so much. She loved him to the point where she fiercely hated him in the very end. But him? He never felt anything for her!
“He Jichen, why did you do this to me?!” All of a sudden, Qian Ge started to go crazy and unleashed the anger brewing in her heart all these years. “You knew I loved you, so why couldn’t you treat me a little better? As long as you treated me a little better, I wouldn’t have ended up like this today!”
“What about me isn’t good enough? Why do you only have eyes for her and not me?!”
“Let me tell you! You’re the reason why I wanted her dead eight years ago! Did you really think I did it to be rich and famous in showbiz? I couldn’t care less!”
“It was you. You forced me to hurt her! He Jichen, you forced me to hurt her!”
“It was you!”
As she said this, Qian Ge opened her mouth and started to cry with complete disregard for her image.
At the very beginning, she just wanted to gain some recognition in his eyes, but from the beginning, he never gave her the tiniest bit of attention… She was jealous and hateful. She thought as long as Ji Yi died, He Jichen might fall in love with her, so she played a fatal game…
With that thought, Qian Ge looked at He Jichen and asked with a cry in her voice, “If-if I didn’t do that to her back then… If-if I was always good friends with her all these years, would you-would you- look at me?”
“No,” replied He Jichen calmly and bluntly. “I wouldn’t look at you at all. And there wouldn’t be any “ifs” because if you got another chance, you would do the same thing. It has nothing to do with me liking Ji Yi and it has nothing to do with you liking me. It’s about you – it’s the kind of person you are in your very bones!”
With that said, He Jichen got up and grabbed his phone. He kicked the chair from behind him and got ready to leave.
He took two steps then came to a stop. Without turning back to see Qian Ge’s crying face, he flatly said, “Do you know what the stain in my life is? It isn’t that I stabbed you. It’s that you fell for me.”
Everything at the BL Charity Gala was broadcasted live online.
The commotion concerning Qian Ge and Xie Siyao didn’t fade from Weibo until an entire half month later.
Although everyone knew He Jichen really did stab Qian Ge, the discussion online changed. However, not everyone understood it. Some people thought He Jichen was wrong for stabbing Qian Ge.
However, it didn’t matter if the comments were good or bad – it wasn’t important to Ji Yi and He Jichen anymore.
Ji Yi didn’t take any more jobs and for the time being, He Jichen wasn’t going to take over He Enterprises. Seeing as they were both free, He Jichen took Ji Yi abroad on vacation.
They returned to China after a month.
On the night of their return, Ji Yi and He Jichen had plans to meet Chen Bai, Han Zhifan, Tang Huahua, Li Da, Zhuang Yi, and Bo He at China World Hotel Beijing for dinner.
It was already twelve at night by the time the dinner party was over.
He Jichen and Ji Yi held hands as they walked some distance by the main road before they got into the slow-moving car behind them.
As they had a long flight, Ji Yi was a little tired. She took a shower when they got home. The two of them didn’t do anything but silently hugged each other to sleep.
That night, He Jichen didn’t know why but his heart raced unusually fast. He abruptly woke up from his dream then instinctively turned to look at Ji Yi. When he saw that she was sleeping soundly in his arms, he let out a sigh of relief. However, before he could relax, Ji Yi suddenly cried as her whole body balled up.
He Jichen instantly woke up from the fright, sat up then anxiously cried, “Xiao Yi, what’s wrong?”
Ji Yi covered her stomach and didn’t look up for a good while. Her face was pale white as she told He Jichen with a trembling voice, “He Jichen, my stomach suddenly hurts…”
Chapter 940: A Billion Stars Can’t Amount to You (40) Translator: Paperplane Editor: Caron_
Stomach hurts?
Everything was just fine, so why is her stomach hurting all of sudden?
He Jichen reached out and felt Ji Yi’s head. After ensuring her body temperature was normal, he reached his hand out to her abdomen. “Does it hurt here?”
“No. It’s here…” Ji Yi grabbed He Jichen’s hand and moved it down to her lower abdomen.
He Jichen instinctively thought Ji Yi had period cramps, but after he asked her about it, Ji Yi thought for a while and shook her head. This pain was different from period cramps.
He Jichen hadn’t studied medicine, so he couldn’t tell what was going on. He noticed that Ji Yi’s little face had turned pale. Then, without hesitation, he grabbed his phone from the bedside and gave Dr. Xia a call.
It was really late and Dr. Xia could’ve been asleep; nobody picked up.
He Jichen was afraid Ji Yi wouldn’t be able to take the pain, so he immediately put the phone down. “I’m taking you to the hospital,” he told Ji Yi softly. Then he removed the covers and hurried over to grab clothes for the two of them from the wardrobe.
He Jichen quickly put on a jacket then bent over to dress Ji Yi.
Midway, Ji Yi lifted her head and looked over at He Jichen. “He Jichen, I think it doesn’t hurt anymore…”
Ji Yi paused as she carefully felt her abdomen and smiled at He Jichen. “It really doesn’t hurt. We don’t have to go to the hospital,” she continued to say.
He Jichen was still worried. “It’s better to take a look at it.”
“You don’t have to…” To show that she really wasn’t in pain anymore, Ji Yi stretched her body in He Jichen’s arms after she said this.
Seeing as she was back to her lively self, He Jichen felt a little better, but he was still adamant. “It can’t be bad to get a check-up at the hospital.”
Ji Yi saw how adamant He Jichen was and hesitated for a moment before obediently agreeing with a nod.
He Jichen continued to help Ji Yi get dressed then he held her hand as they walked down the stairs and headed for the nearest hospital.
Because it was early in the morning, there wasn’t anyone in the emergency department.
The on-call doctor was dozing off at the office when he saw the two of them walking in. He yawned and asked, “Which department are you looking for?”
Ji Yi wasn’t sure which department, so she replied, “My stomach hurts.”
The on-call doctor thought about it for a while and gave her a ticket to wait at the gynecology and obstetrics department. “Third floor, take a right.”
Men were forbidden in the gynecology and obstetrics department, so Ji Yi went in alone.
There was a rather older female doctor who questioned Ji Yi on her symptoms and gave her a regular check-up.
It was early in the morning, so she didn’t need to line up and the check-up was over very quickly.
Soon after, Ji Yi picked up some forms.
Before the doctor gave her the results from her urine test, Ji Yi already knew what was going on.
Am I pregnant?
She planned to have a baby and now she was pregnant.
All of a sudden, Ji Yi cheerfully ran over to He Jichen to share the good news.
After He Jichen heard the news, he was instantly stunned. He clearly felt his heart beating incredibly fiercely for a moment.
However, the two of them weren’t overjoyed about the new life for long, as they thought about the immense pain Ji Yi suddenly felt back at home…
Chapter 941: A Billion Stars Can’t Amount to You (41) Translator: Paperplane Editor: Caron_
Ji Yi’s heart suddenly sank with a thud, as she instinctively raised her head to look at He Jichen.
The expression on He Jichen’s face turned dark. Both their eyes met, and before either of them could speak, they already knew what the other was thinking.
A second later, He Jichen held Ji Yi’s hand and walked over to the gynecologist’s office with her.
The results showed Ji Yi was showing early signs of a miscarriage and the baby’s vitals were weak. She needed to stay in the hospital to observe the baby.
However, after that was said, the doctor added it was recommended not to have the baby.
That sentence not only scared Ji Yi but it also frightened He Jichen too.
Despite the doctor’s recommendation and before the two of them could make a decision, the doctor quickly helped Ji Yi into a patient room. He Jichen didn’t want Ji Yi to walk, so he carried her all the way into the patient room.
He Jichen put Ji Yi on the bed then pulled the covers over her. After he told her to be good and lie there, he headed downstairs to check her in.
It was half an hour later by the time He Jichen came back into the patient room.
He Jichen looked incredibly pale and his bold brows were heavily anxious and unsettled.
Ji Yi was really nervous, but when she saw how He Jichen looked, her heart ached more than anything. After she waited for He Jichen to come closer, she grabbed his hand and arched her brows, revealing a gentle smile. She tried her best to joke around and speak with a relaxed voice. “He Jichen, the doctor says I’ve been pregnant for two months. Two months ago, we decided to have a baby. I never thought I’d get pregnant that very night…”
Saying this, Ji Yi’s face started to flush as she drew closer to He Jichen’s ear and quietly whispered: “…I never thought you’d actually be this incredible!”
He Jichen knew Ji Yi was trying to calm him down and he was immensely moved by that. Although he smiled along with her joke, he blamed himself deep down.
He forcefully squeezed Ji Yi’s hand and carefully embraced her in his arms.
He quietly hugged her for a short while, turned his head, then whispered into her ear, “Sorry.”
He Jichen wasn’t to blame for this, but he wanted to carry this tragedy himself…
Deep down, Ji Yi felt a little warm and touched. She didn’t say anything but hugged He Jichen’s waist even tighter.
Silence fell once more in the room.
After an awfully long time, Ji Yi softly said, “He Jichen, no matter what, I have to try hard. Unless it’s absolutely necessary, I don’t want to give up on our child.”
Our child… He Jichen felt something bitter stuck in his throat. After a while, he forcefully let out an “Mhm.”
After a short while had passed, He Jichen turned his head and kissed Ji Yi’s hair. “I’ll stay with you.”
I will stay with you and work hard to protect our child.
Just like how I’ll stay with you for the rest of my life.
Ji Yi heard what He Jichen said and smiled with her brows arched.
Perhaps it was because she was pregnant, but she furrowed her brows as she smiled then whispered to He Jichen, “He Jichen, I’m hungry.”
The subject changed too quickly, so He Jichen was left a little speechless for a moment. Then with a loving look on his face, he asked, “What would you like to eat?”
Ji Yi let out a long “Errrrrr” for a while then replied, “Green beans.”
Chapter 942: A Billion Stars Can’t Amount to You (42) Translator: Paperplane Editor: Caron_
Practically without any hesitation at all, He Jichen replied, “Okay.”
He let go of Ji Yi and grabbed the phone to make a call.
After he hung up, he went back to the side of the bed. He tilted his head as though he was thinking about something while looking at Ji Yi.
He helped Ji Yi pull the covers over. Just as he was about to head back to the side of the bed, he asked her what she was thinking. Ji Yi stared right at He Jichen and said, “He Jichen, I’ve got a really cute baby name idea. Green bean (Si Ji Dou)! What do you think?”
He Jichen really wanted to reply “It’s alright…” but he thought about her condition and chose to remain silent.
Ji Yi just took this as He Jichen’s silent approval. She continued to talk to herself like she was given a treasure. “He Jichen, Ji Yi, (Si Ji Dou) Green Beans… heh-heh! They all have the letter ‘Ji.’ This nickname really sounds better the more you think about it…”
“He Jichen, don’t you think I’m really awesome?”
“Hehehe~ Green beans, you have to be strong! Mummy really wants to see you…”
Thirty years later.
Recently on Weibo, a major verified user became famous all of a sudden.
Actually, this user got really famous two years ago, but this year, their popularity reached the highest point. In one short week, their fan count rose by millions.
The Weibo user was called “Green Bean Who Grew Up On Dog Food.”
The account for “Green Bean Who Grew Up On Dog Food” was created five summers ago. She didn’t post on Weibo every day, but whenever she did, it was about her parents’ everyday lives.
Su Xia was a reporter who learned about this verified user from a friend.
That day, she wasn’t very busy with work, so after she finished interviewing a popular female celebrity at five in the afternoon, she headed straight back home. It was still early after she finished dinner and she wasn’t sleepy. She remembered how her friend reminded her about the seriously famous verified user then she grabbed her iPad and logged into Weibo. She entered: “Green Bean Who Grew Up On Dog Food.”
The first post that came into view was posted three days ago by “Green Bean Who Grew Up On Dog Food.” There were over a million followers and over hundreds of thousands of comments.
The post was composed of only words and no photos.
“During breakfast today, Mr. He saw that he was logged out of WeChat. After he entered his password, he couldn’t log in. He furrowed his brows and said in confusion, ‘That’s odd. Why does WeChat keep saying my password is incorrect?’”
“Sitting in front of him, Miss Ji was eating congee. She lifted her head and glanced over at him before casually replying, ‘You changed your password yesterday.’”
Mr. He: “What’s the password? I need to contact someone for work.”
Miss Ji: “HJCNYSGCGWJJDNDXJJ in capitals.”
“Mr. He entered the password as he asked: ‘It’s such a long and complicated password. How did you remember it?’”
“Miss Ji looked composed as she said: ‘He XX (Mr. He’s name), if you dare have an affair, I’ll cut off your d*ck.’”
“Beautiful days start by eating dog food.”
Su Xia casually scrolled through this Weibo account with the attitude of “why is this verified user so popular?” She never imagined that the first Weibo post would make her burst out laughing, causing her to spit out her coffee onto her iPad screen.
She quickly put her coffee mug down, pulled out a tissue and wiped the screen. Then she continued to read through the posts on the Weibo account of “Green Bean Who Grew Up On Dog Food.”
“Miss Ji came across something upsetting today. She was unhappy when she came back home. Mr. He hugged her and told her to cry if she wanted to.”
