Chapter 109: Chapter 109 - I Want to Follow Her

The promotional events for Love and Tribulations had given her a modest boost in popularity. She was not exactly famous, but a lot of people were now aware of Yan Huan and remembered her name.

“Huanhuan, your follower count has gone up!” Yi Ling rushed into the room and gave Yan Huan an excited hug. “Look at all these followers on your Weibo account! There’s a few hundred new followers today, and I’m sure they’ll keep on increasing! Look at this, look!”

Yi Ling joyfully showed her phone to Yan Huan: sure enough, her once-desolate Weibo was now flooded with comments. Many of Yi Ling’s old posts had also been shared.

From user I’m_Really_A_Cabbage: “My goddess! You’re my new goddess, I’m so in love with your face. Why are you so beautiful, my lovely goddess?”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Small_Stool: “How did I not know about this Weibo? I really liked the Little Golden Silkworm, I wish she wasn’t killed off so quickly. Well, biw I know where to find you. Give me a kiss, my goddess, I finally found your fanclub.”

YellowPolkaDot: “I was a huge fan of Little Golden Silkworm, and now I’m officially one of your followers. You’d make an excellent wife, by the way. All the photos of your cooking look delicious. I’d die and go to heaven if I could just have a taste...”

Simpleton: “I stumbled here by accident. I wasn’t your fan before this, but now I’ve decided to follow you.”

CallMeXiaoMing: “Oh my god, that cat is sooooo kyoot. I’m just here for the cat, really.”

Luoluo.Lanlan: “Well, I’m here for the drop-dead gorgeous woman. I’m a follower now, everyone else get in line!”

“Huanhuan, look at all these people calling you their goddess! My efforts have paid off!” Yi Ling had to wipe her eyes away. Her smile grew wider with every new follower on Yan Huan’s Weibo.

There had not been a single follower on their Weibo account before this, but now their follower count had increased by a few hundred in a single day. Yan Huan’s popularity had not just taken off, it had virtually skyrocketed into the stratosphere.

Yi Ling had taken a lot of candid photos of Yan Huan without her knowledge; photos of her asleep, photos of her feeding the cat, photos of her cooking in the kitchen, photos of her reading... each and every photo was elegant and tasteful. Yi Ling was a tomboy, but she had a good eye for beauty.

The photos had all been taken with her phone, but they were of high quality. She made sure to update the Weibo daily with either a new photo of Yan Huan or their cat, Little Bean.

Little Bean had blossomed into a plump, beautiful cat with clear, pretty eyes. She was a lazy cat, but her lazy indifference only added to her adorable charm.

Every time someone began following Yan Huan’s Weibo, they were treated to a large collection of her photos. They were candid photos of her natural, makeup-free face as she went about her daily life.

She was already breathtakingly beautiful without any makeup on. Many of her followers found it difficult to imagine how much more beautiful she would look like when she was more made up.

At that very moment, over in the Lu residence, Ye Shuyun was on her computer. She had been glued to it ever since her son had taught her how to use the internet; she spent her time chatting with other people online, playing games, and other such “young and hip” activities.

“Son, Son! Come over here and help me set up an account.”

She was calling for Lu Yi, who had just returned home.

Lu Yi clutched at his hair in frustration. He had not slept in over 24 hours. But he resigned himself to his fate; he walked over to Ye Shuyun and seated himself beside her.

“What is it, Mom?”

“Help me set up a Weibo account, I want to be able to find her on Weibo at any time of the day. Oh, I just remembered, a young lady told me there’s something you can do on Weibo, what was it again? Stalk? Hound? Oh, I remember now! I want to follow her, yes, that’s it, follow.”

Ye Shuyun pointed at a photo on her computer screen. “My Little Golden Silkworm finally showed herself again! I’ve been waiting for ages for news about her. It looks like she’s going to be in a new TV show, I think it’s called Love and Tribulations. I have to watch it. I’ll sacrifice my beauty sleep if I have to!”
