Chapter 127: Chapter 127: Third Brother’s Weibo Post Explodes
When Lu Sheng returned with a fresh glass of watermelon juice, Lu Ziye’s expression had already returned to normal, and he had changed into a new sweatshirt.
Lu Sheng didn’t know why Lu Ziye would self-harm.
Those scars were clearly not from a single occasion, and it was unlikely that they were only on his right arm.
All she knew was that she seemed to have inadvertently touched upon the real side of Lu Ziye that lay hidden beneath his perfect facade.
"It’s getting late, sweetie, go back and sleep earlier."
Lu Ziye put down the juice and patted Lu Sheng’s head.
His peach-blossom eyes still held a lazy and indulgent smile, as if none of what had just happened actually did.
"As for next Wednesday, me attending your squad’s activity is settled."
"Don’t worry about your brother; when have I ever gone out without being surrounded and swamped by others?"
"It’s just a high school festival, a small event."
Lu Ziye’s tone was casual, telling Lu Sheng to go back to rest, but she didn’t move.
The next second, Lu Sheng suddenly leaned in and embraced Lu Ziye, who was sitting on the carpet.
The moment he was hugged, Lu Sheng distinctly felt Lu Ziye tense up.
It seemed the incident just now did affect him after all - he was merely pretending it didn’t matter.
"...Sweetie?"
Lu Ziye paused for a while before he looked down and softly called out.
Lu Sheng didn’t speak. But Lu Ziye knew that the girl’s first move to initiate such close affection was meant to comfort.
She saw the scars from his self-harm, yet she asked nothing; she simply gave him a hug, telling him he was not alone.
Lu Ziye gently touched Lu Sheng’s hair, looked down at her, and let out a few barely audible sighs.
"...It’s only occasionally."
"Your brother is fine, don’t worry."
Lu Ziye rubbed Lu Sheng’s head, his gaze and voice even gentler than before, "Good girl, go back to sleep."
Hearing Lu Ziye say this, Lu Sheng finally sat up.
"Then, Third Brother, you should also sleep early. Fifth Brother said that staying up late playing games will make one’s brain dull."
Lu Ziye heard this and curved his lips slightly: "You Ye has been a bit simple-minded and naïve from a young age; you can’t blame the games for that."
"Speaking of which, even though Fourth Brother and Fifth Brother are twins, besides looking alike, they don’t seem similar at all in other aspects," said Lu Sheng.
Whether it was intelligence, personality, or physique.
For instance, with intelligence, Lu Youye was of normal level, while Lu Youming was born a genius.
Like how Lu Youming was naturally gifted with super learning abilities, Lu Youye had no interest in studying.
"Perhaps when they were still embryos, they reached some kind of balance," said Lu Ziye, "You Ye may not be as smart as You Ming, but he’s pure-hearted and healthy, so he’s happy every day."
"And You Ming, born with far above average intellect, never experienced the innocent and naïve period typical for young children, developing his own understanding of people and things around him prematurely."
"He’s so smart, but both his asthma and hemophilia are dangerous, fatal, and incurable. Throughout his life, hardly anyone around him dared get close, so he has been alone all these years."
"So, maybe God is fair. Giving extraordinary talent in some areas, also means losing something or having certain flaws."
Hearing this, Lu Sheng looked up at Lu Ziye.
The words seemed to be about Lu Youming, but also seemed to be about himself.
After Lu Sheng left the room, Lu Ziye stayed alone.
The gentle smile on his face gradually faded, his eyes emotionless. He rolled up his sleeves and glanced at the scars on his arm.
It had been a long time since he last had an episode.
He had been maintaining it well.
So there was no need to worry.
Lu Ziye took out a small white pill bottle from the drawer, poured two pills into his mouth, and then texted Tan Jun.
[What’s the password for my Weibo account?]
Tan Jun on the other end was somewhat puzzled: [Why suddenly ask me this? Are you going to post on Weibo?]
After five minutes, Tan Jun sent over the account and a string of numbers and English mixed password.
Lu Ziye’s Weibo was registered when he first debuted two years ago.
Usually, Lu Ziye’s activities and promotions are posted by the studio’s account. His personal account hasn’t posted a single Weibo since its registration.
There are only two lonely updates in the account, both of which are automatically generated birthday posts from Weibo.
But even though Lu Ziye never posts, the existence of this account is a consolation to the countless fans who can’t get in touch with him.
Hence, his Weibo followers count is over eighty million, even surpassing many active first-tier celebrities.
This is probably what they call a top influencer.
Holding his phone, Lu Ziye studied it a bit before using the account and password Tan Jun sent to log in.
Since he had never used it before, he was unfamiliar with Weibo’s basic functions and it took him a while to find the option to post.
Then he casually edited a post and clicked send.
[@Lu Ziye: I’ll be attending my sister’s school festival next Wednesday, will act as a waiter in her café. Babies in Jiang City, come support at Shengjing.]
[PS: I’ll surprise guests with a song as a little bonus, it’s the lead single from my upcoming album~]
At this moment, Lu Ziye’s thought was very simple.
He just wanted to help pull in some popularity for Lu Sheng since there will be a popularity contest during the school festival, and he didn’t want his sister’s team to be outshined by that Yao Xuantong.
After posting the Weibo, Lu Ziye just logged out and continued sitting on the carpet playing video games.
He, who never uses Weibo, had absolutely no idea of the influence of Weibo or himself.
He was completely unaware that the moment this post went out, his followers who saw the new update went crazy.
Oh my god!! Are they seeing this correctly?? Lu Ziye posted on Weibo??
Lu Ziye who never posts actually came online to post! So their brother actually remembers he has a Weibo account!!
Upon reading the content of the Weibo, next Wednesday, Shengjing, school festival, acting as a waiter? And he’ll sing the lead single from the unreleased album??
Wasn’t their brother on vacation? What kind of sudden surprise and massive benefit is this!!
How come there was no whisper of this before, not a peep from either Lu Ziye’s studio or the fan club??
This is too unexpected! Is there still time to buy plane tickets and organize fan activities??
In reality, Lu Ziye’s studio and fan club were also dumbfounded.
Lu Ziye’s agent had made absolutely no mention that he would participate in such an event.
Twenty minutes later, the hashtag #LuZiyePostsOnWeibo soared to the top of the trending list, exploding the internet.
The second, third, fourth, and fifth hot searches behind it were #LuZiyeShengjing, #ShengjingHighSchoolFestival, #LuZiyeWaiter, and #LuZiyeLeadSingle.
The #ShengjingHighSchoolFestival topic that Lan Yu originally saw, even with Yao Xuantong reposting Lu Qianrou’s Weibo, was only around the 40th or 50th position on the trend list, which is at the bottom.
Many people didn’t even notice it.
But now, the moment Lu Ziye’s Weibo was posted, information related to the Shengjing School Festival was flying all over Weibo.
Yao Xuantong was idly opening Weibo when she saw the trending search; her eyes widened, she hurriedly clicked into Lu Ziye’s Weibo.
Seeing that Lu Ziye said he would also come to Shengjing next Wednesday, to act as a waiter in his sister’s café, her hands started trembling with excitement.
Lu Ziye is actually going to attend this what-school-festival fair at Shengjing!
According to her understanding of Lu Ziye, he would definitely not be interested in this kind of event. Plus, being on vacation, why would he add work to his holiday period voluntarily?
But this time he took the initiative to participate, not only acting as a waiter but also singing, even taking the initiative to promote it on Weibo.
It was right after she had reposted the Weibo, announcing that she would go to his sister’s café that day to act as a waiter.
Yao Xuantong’s heart thumped wildly, and her face began to heat up.
Lu Ziye attending this event must be to see her, right?
In that case, won’t they be together for the entire day?
So his previous indifference and nonchalance were all just an act, he is actually interested in her!
With this thought, Yao Xuantong’s breath shortened, suddenly feeling an unreal sense of overwhelming happiness.
