Chapter 223: Ive Become Famous Today?

After Wan Chaoxiong finished editing the video, Xia Yuan’s promotional video was released via her personal C Site account, 【Yuanbao】.

This account naturally had significant traffic because its UID was 2, signifying the second registered user on C Site.

Mei Fang didn’t seem to mind that Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi often collaborated. After all, the album was called 【Together with Yuan Xi】, the site webmaster’s name was 【Mountain Has Lush Forest】, and one of the singers on the album was 【Xibao】. Coupled with the strong promotion of Xia Yuan’s video on their web portal, even an idiot could see the connection between the two.

Moreover, Mei Fang knew that his childhood sweetheart’s talent couldn’t be hidden. Once she started to shine, she wouldn’t stop dazzling.

Xia Yuan’s promotional video, along with her new album, was simultaneously uploaded to C Site and QQ Forum.Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

On the first day, the video garnered over 10,000 views, with hundreds of comments flooding in.

【What a cute little beauty!】

【You look so beautiful playing the guitar, worthy of being my wife】

【Reminds me of the goddess in my class when I was still in school】

【C Site is really amazing, it gave me a new wife today】

【The girl has a bright future!】

【That guitar is so big!】

【What has blinded my eyes?】

【Quick, go to QQ Music and add her album to your favorites, everyone】

【Guys, go listen to her songs, each one is better than the last!】

【Why is there a guy singing with her in the album? Could it be her boyfriend? Ahhhhh! My first love is lost!】

By the second day, the views skyrocketed to over 100,000. Besides the admiration for Xia Yuan’s performance similar to the first day’s comments, many viewers started to notice other interesting details.

【Wait, am I the only one who noticed her UID?】

【Wow, UID 2!】

【By the way, her album is called Together with Yuan Xi, doesn’t that include our webmaster’s username?】

【One of her good friends is named Xibao, could Xibao be the webmaster herself?】

【Eight or nine out of ten chances it is】

【No way, no way, no way that people really believe Mountain Has Lush Forest is a girl】

【Believe it or not, I do】

The comment section began to fill with analysis posts, uncovering all the clues Mei Fang had predicted earlier. Eventually, these netizens formed three camps.

The Orthodox Xi Faction Theory:

Mei Fang smiled slightly, “You’re still thinking about supporting me, huh?”

“Of course... But our album was released as a free digital download, so we probably won’t make any money from it.”

The concept of intellectual property didn’t start gaining traction until after 2015. Without a record label contract, physical albums, and concert ticket sales, Xia Yuan practically had no income at this point.

However, in Mei Fang’s view, Xia Yuan’s promotional video was actually very successful. It might help their C Site reach an even wider audience, providing excellent mutual promotion.

“We can start producing physical albums next week. Fans who support us will buy them. As for other way to make money out of it, I think it’s still early... Yuan Yuan, you’ve just started to get famous. We can let the buzz build a bit more. Making good money is just a matter of time.”

“So, it seems that I’m still a little far from making enough money to support you.”

Xia Yuan stuck out her tongue sheepishly. “But since we’re done with the album, I can start helping you with the game.”

“Mm-hmm, that’s true,” Mei Fang said, pinching Xia Yuan’s cheek. “The development progress of Cloudy Journey on your side is almost zero. You need to get to work.”

“Alright, alright, I get it.”

Xia Yuan rubbed her slightly reddened cheek and stared up at Mei Fang’s face.

Liang Meijuan had gone out to buy groceries, and Lin Youxi was washing her hair. This was the perfect opportunity.

Xia Yuan patted Mei Fang’s chest. “By the way... you’ve been working so hard. Don’t you want a little reward? You know, like a celebration or something——”

“Why are you the one giving me a reward?”

Mei Fang teased Xia Yuan, “You’re the one who said you were going to support me. Now that you’ve just completed the first phase, I should be the one rewarding you.”

“Oh, whatever... you just like to argue.”

Xia Yuan threw herself into Mei Fang’s arms, first rubbing her nose against his chin and then slowly lifting her head. Mei Fang also hugged her tightly and they began their lovey-dovey moment.

...

After being intimate for who knows how long, Lin Youxi came out of the bathroom after washing her hair, and Mei Fang quickly took a break from his “fight” with Xia Yuan.

Lin Youxi, drying her hair, curiously looked at both of them who seemed a bit embarrassed. This was the first time she’d caught them being affectionate after they tacitly acknowledged each other’s feelings.

But Lin Youxi just smiled at them.

“Don’t mind me, you two can continue.”

“H-How could we continue like this?!”

Xia Yuan’s face turned red. “Youxi, you’re too easy-going... I sneaked out today, so I can cover for you tonight.”

Lin Youxi smiled. “Why wait until tonight? If you’re really that embarrassed to be affectionate with Ah Fang in front of me, I could actually join in——”

“Let’s not do that!” Mei Fang, not wanting Xia Yuan to deal with such a shock right now, stopped Lin Youxi before she could finish.

“It’s better to be affectionate one-on-one. After all, we’re still young... let’s talk about this later.”
