Chapter 102: The Video That Became Extremely Popular
Pu Tong sent the Doraemon theme song to Yi Zhi Xuenai that same night.
Pu Tong: [Self-destruct after reading!]
Yi Zhi Xuenai: [Is that really necessary?]
Pu Tong: [It is necessary. I don’t ask for much, just keep my face out of it.]
Although singing this style of song was indeed a little strange for him, Yi Zhi Xuenai was actually very suitable for it. He wouldn’t casually give songs to people who weren’t a good fit.
While he was at it, he checked Yi Zhi Xuenai’s updates on the video platform and discovered that she had already uploaded the fifth episode of Doraemon…
Pu Tong didn’t even remember the exact order of the episodes. When he explained Doraemon to the Japanese girl, he basically just made things up randomly, piecing together different stories.
However, Doraemon was originally a slice-of-life anime where each episode was independent, so having the order mixed up probably didn’t matter much.
A few minutes later, Yi Zhi Xuenai finally replied. She had probably finished listening.
Yi Zhi Xuenai: [What kind of singing is this? How did you make such a good song sound so strange?]
Pu Tong: [There are always some styles I can’t handle… Just delete it after learning it.]
Yi Zhi Xuenai: [There’s no need to delete it. It still has collection value. Besides, Wanwan thinks it actually sounds pretty good.]
Indeed, there were still people who understood art…
Wait a minute.
Why did Yu Wanwan hear it too?
This stupid Japanese girl actually broke her promise!
Pu Tong: [Didn’t I tell you to self-destruct after reading? Why did you randomly share it?]
Yi Zhi Xuenai: [The thing is, when I was listening to it, they were sitting right next to me!]
At this time?
Pu Tong looked at the time. It was already close to bedtime, and the three girls were still together.
Could it be that they were sleeping together?
Girls really did have such wonderful friendships…
While he was imagining things, Yu Wanwan sent him a message, directly calling him out.
Yu Wanwan: [Yo, you sang pretty well!]
Pu Tong: [Yo, that cat-ear cosplay was pretty good too!]
Come on, let’s hurt each other!
As long as he made the other person feel more embarrassed first, he wouldn’t have to feel embarrassed himself.
Yu Wanwan: [You’re finished. I’m going to use your song as my alarm. I’ll wake up every morning because of how terrible it sounds.]
Pu Tong immediately became unhappy.
It clearly sounded good!
This person really didn’t know how to appreciate music. It was just a little strange.
Wasn’t Teacher Tengger’s version of Invisible Wings also amazing despite his unique voice?
Pu Tong: [You’re finished. I’m going to use your photos… Forget it, pretend I didn’t say anything.]
Yu Wanwan: [?]
Although he didn’t really want people to know about the song he casually sang, since they had already heard it, he had no other choice.
However, if it was only those three girls, although it was embarrassing, they definitely wouldn’t spread it around. Their personalities could still be trusted.
As long as they didn’t use this to threaten him into doing something…
Pu Tong reviewed some of the things he had learned before the holiday and decided to sleep early. Tomorrow, he planned to study some knowledge beyond the textbook.
As his studies became deeper, he felt that he should break out of the framework and learn new things.
After all, textbook knowledge was limited. Although he couldn’t say he had completely mastered everything, improving further became harder and harder.
Instead of being stuck at a bottleneck, it was better to explore something new.
The next morning, Pu Tong woke up because of his alarm.
Normally, disciplined people didn’t need alarms to wake up, but this time was an exception…
The weather during May Day was already hot.
Not to mention that the group had basically spent the previous few days trapped inside a car. Ignoring the soreness in his back from sitting for so long, just the temperature alone was enough to exhaust him.
Those three days had been extremely tiring.
This peaceful sleep could be considered a recovery.
“Mom, you woke up so early?”
Pu Tong opened his door and discovered that his mother had already gotten up early and was packing things, preparing to go out.
These past few days, he had followed his mother around as her assistant reporter, and he had truly experienced how difficult being a journalist was…
The physical strength required to travel through mountains and rivers.
The careful observation needed to discover problems.
The polite and appropriate way of speaking.
The ability to act naturally.
The hardworking spirit.
Not a single one of these qualities could be missing.
And then there was Jia Yao.
That thin and fragile-looking girl had carried a camera for such a long time. Her physical strength was truly impressive…
“It’s rare that I have some free time. Taking care of my son is what I should do.”
After finishing packing, Ni Hui pointed toward the breakfast on the table.
The appearance wasn’t exactly impressive.
“Eat first. I’m going to the recording studio to pick up your song.”
“So you woke up early because of this…”
It seemed his mother had already become used to the lifestyle of a journalist constantly running around.
They had followed the same schedule, yet she looked completely fine.
“You already helped write the song, which was a huge favor. Let me handle this kind of running around.”
Ni Hui stood up and left, leaving Pu Tong standing there speechless.
After saying goodbye to his mother, Pu Tong washed up, finished breakfast, and was just preparing to go for his usual morning run when his phone suddenly rang with a notification.
He didn’t even need to look to know who it was.
It was obviously that person.
Yu Wanwan: [Good morning, your singing woke me up!]
Could you not mention that…
Pu Tong ignored her and went out for his morning run before returning home to start studying new knowledge by himself.
Perhaps because she didn’t get the response she wanted, Yu Wanwan began bombarding him with messages.
It was so noisy that Pu Tong directly switched his phone to silent mode.
Then the world became peaceful.
Without outside distractions disturbing him, he quickly entered his study state and spent the entire morning learning.
Until close to noon, when he heard his mother calling his name.
Only then did he leave his room to take a look.
“What happened?”
Pu Tong walked out of his bedroom, still confused about what was going on.
His mother had barely entered the house before calling for him, as if something urgent had happened.
“Is there something wrong with the song?”
“No, not at all!”
Ni Hui didn’t waste time explaining. She simply handed her phone to Pu Tong.
“Look at this!”
The phone was playing a short video.
Pu Tong glanced at the platform and realized it was one of the most popular short-video apps in the country.
“What is this?”
Pu Tong wasn’t really a fan of watching short videos.
Although these things were short, once you started scrolling through them one after another, it never seemed to end.
Time would disappear for no reason.
And when you looked back afterward, you often couldn’t even remember what exactly you had watched.
“Watch this video until the end!”
Only then did Pu Tong focus his attention on the video itself.
The uploader was called “Liang Le Ge Liang”, and he was considered one of the major creators on the platform.
This video had already received millions of likes.
At the beginning of the video, a young man stood among a crowd holding flowers and confessed his feelings to a girl.
Immediately, the surrounding pedestrians gathered around and started cheering.
The boy’s expression was sincere.
The girl’s eyes were filled with panic.
Anyone could tell that the girl didn’t like him.
The girl looked at the people watching around them, then looked at the humble boy in front of her.
She did not reject him on the spot.
Instead, she hugged the boy and whispered:
“I don’t like you, but right now, you can hold my hand and leave this crowd.”
Damn…
Pu Tong instantly realized something was wrong.
This script…
Wasn’t this script something he had said himself?
The following development was also extremely familiar.
It was basically his words inserted into a story.
The male lead became an infatuated young man.
The female lead became a beautiful and kind-hearted goddess.
He glanced toward the lower-left corner of the video.
Only then did he notice that the description even mentioned his name.
#LoveStory #ConfessionMaterial from @I Hate Chemistry
Script by Pu Tong
Pu Tong immediately understood the entire situation.
That day, when Chen Yu confessed his feelings, he had appeared in the livestream.
Most likely, the student who recorded the livestream had edited the replay and uploaded it online.
“You really have a lot of things stored inside that little head of yours.”
Ni Hui smiled.
“Every time I think you don’t understand relationships, you always come up with something new that proves me wrong.”
“Where did you even hear those things?”
“I was just talking nonsense!”
“You call this nonsense?”
Ni Hui paused.
“The comments section is full of people wanting to learn from you…”
Learn?
Learn what?
Learn from a lifelong single guy about how to date?
Wouldn’t that just ruin people’s lives?
Pu Tong looked at the video with hundreds of thousands of comments and didn’t even dare open them.
Actually, Weibo had a very specific audience.
Its user base was relatively limited.
Many people who weren’t interested in the entertainment industry didn’t even bother using it.
But short-video platforms were different.
They had extremely wide popularity.
Out of ten people, at least seven were using them.
The amount of traffic was enormous.
Although this video only mentioned his name briefly, the number of people who noticed him was definitely not small…
“Why don’t you start a class?”
Ni Hui joked:
“You can be the main teacher, and I’ll be your assistant.”
“Let’s set a small goal first.”
“Teach one thousand people how to get into relationships!”
Pu Tong ignored his mother’s teasing and walked straight back to his room.
He seemed to know why Yu Wanwan had been sending him so many messages…
