Let's Squander A Billion First!
Chapter 1821: Rising Star (23)
[Really, really my husband!!]
[Has my idol come online?]
[It’s been 520 days since husband was online, 520 is the number representing "I love you," did he specifically choose to be online today, sobbing, I’m so happy I could explode!]
[Is husband making a comeback?]
[Little Feathers reporting in here.]
Little Feathers is the self-designation of Gu Yu’s fans. At this moment, as soon as Gu Yu logged in, these Feather fans went crazy and soon pushed #520GuYu# to trending.
After a year apart, Gu Yu was trending the moment he logged in.
This is the power of the national husband.
Of course, Gu Yu was unaware of this; he was currently following Old Madam Gu’s instructions, searching Chuzheng’s name, and then unexpectedly came across the Weibo post Chuzheng had made.
Gu Yu looked at Old Madam Gu.
Old Madam Gu was wearing glasses, smilingly nudging him twice with her elbow: "Why are you looking at me, retweet it."
Gu Yu took a deep breath: "Grandma, are you serious?"
"Of course, this is a post from your wife. Why are you shy? You are engaged and part of the same family. By making it public, you prevent others from eyeing you."
"..."
Did Chuzheng cast a spell on his grandmother?
"Grandma, do you know what the consequences are if I retweet it?" Gu Yu was a bit aware of his fans; even though he hasn’t acted now, only a year passed, his influence is still there.
Is Chuzheng trying to ride his popularity?
The more Gu Yu thought about it, the more he felt that’s the case.
"What?" Old Madam Gu was displeased: "Can’t protect your own wife, are you even a man? Think of your dad when he pursued your mom; he wished everyone in the world knew. He wasn’t timid like you!"
Gu Yu: "..."
You said it yourself, that was when dad pursued mom; now he’s not pursuing Chuzheng, can it be compared?
"Let me do it!"
Gu Yu didn’t understand why Old Madam Gu wanted to do it herself. Despite her age, she knew all about the youth’s trends. Although she wasn’t as skilled as the young, she could manage simple tasks.
Gu Yu couldn’t win against Old Madam Gu’s strong stance, weakly stopping her actions: "I’ll do it myself."
Gu Yu stared at the Weibo post, finally accepting his fate and hit retweet.
"Say something." Old Madam Gu commanded from beside.
"..."
Gu Yu didn’t want to write anything, but he had to. In the end, he added a heart emoji, then under Old Madam Gu’s pressure to add more words, quickly retweeted it.
The old and young stared at each other for a while until Old Madam Gu conceded, patting her grandson’s shoulder: "Good luck."
Gu Yu: "..."
Gu Yu watched Old Madam Gu leave, the phone screen still lit up. He tapped back to the homepage, only to have it lag, taking ages to load.
The Weibo post he recently retweeted had already garnered tens of thousands of comments in a short time.
[Husband finally posted on Weibo!!]
[Aaaah, is husband getting back to work?]
[Damn, look at the content before commenting, okay?]
[Who is Qin Chuzheng?]
[Is this... an official announcement?]
[Husband is dating too? What a joke, I just laughed at the rival fans!!]
Seeing the Weibo post, Gu Yu slightly raised an eyebrow. His fans always referred to only one rival, Fu Xingchen...]
Gu Yu didn’t go online today, so he was unaware of what happened online.
He exited the homepage and quickly found Fu Xingchen trending on the list.
However...
Qin Chuzheng and Fu Xingchen got trending?
Is she now pulling him in as a shield? She really stops at nothing for her crush.
Celebrities mostly fear getting their relationships exposed, which could affect their career paths, so Gu Yu wasn’t entirely wrong in thinking this way.
He exited with a cold face, went back to the homepage to delete the post, paused at delete, and opened the comments again.
[This Qin Chuzheng... seems like she’s dating our husband’s rival, right?]
[No, wait, I’m a bit confused.]
[What’s Qin Chuzheng’s deal? Quite a character, first Fu Xingchen, now our husband.]
[Didn’t she tag Gu Yu? It’s official, and Gu Yu retweeted it.]
[Impossible, husband’s account must’ve been hacked; husband hasn’t been online for ages, no way would he suddenly log in and retweet such a weird post.]
[I agree, husband must’ve been hacked!]
[Impossible for husband to have an official match.] Little Feathers all felt Gu Yu was hacked and refused to believe Gu Yu could have an official match.

#FuXingchenQinChuzheng#
Many trending topics related to Chuzheng, making her a hot topic. Fu Xingchen’s side was severely criticized, and Gu Yu’s wasn’t much better. Although, since Gu Yu retweeted it, it was less harsh, and most were just wailing.
Midnight, Weibo was so overloaded it was hard to log in, technical staff urgently trying to fix it.
Under the spotlight, the initially zero-follower account finally posted a second Weibo.
Qin Chuzheng: No connection with Fu Xingchen, the photo of me with Fu Xingchen isn’t me, height and physique are wrong, official match is only @GuYuV.
[Even though husband retweeted your post, I still don’t believe it; isn’t it just to gain popularity from my husband?]
[Who is the person in the photo then?]
[She only denied the person pictured with Fu Xingchen isn’t her, but didn’t deny the later photos aren’t her.]
[Damn! Wasn’t she just a fan of Fu Xingchen before?]
[Husband, what the heck!]
[I’m increasingly convinced husband was hacked.]
Gu Yu V: Not hacked.
[...]
A group of fans fainted in the restroom.
Not hacked, meaning the account’s posts are true; she’s really dating Gu Yu.
This is far more serious than rival fans, isn’t it?
The rival hasn’t responded yet; if tried, it could be washed away, but their idol’s acknowledgment is terrifying; isn’t anything more dreadful?
[Who is this Qin Chuzheng, anyway? Is she worthy of Gu Yu?]
[Does the rooftop need a queue tonight?]
[Husband said he’d rest for a while and come back, didn’t mean bringing a partner back. Everyone’s single, yet you quietly found someone, is that right?]
[Is Qin Chuzheng even pretty enough for Gu Yu?]
Some began using old heavily made-up photos of the original main character for editing, which made Gu Yu frown, how he hadn’t noticed how scary her makeup was before?
Qin Chuzheng lived at Gu Yu’s place; naturally, he’d seen her sans makeup and with makeup. Both at that time disliked each other and ignored one another, so Gu Yu didn’t care much.
Recently he got accustomed to her natural look, and suddenly seeing such photos was indeed shocking.
