CHAPTER 62: IS EVERYTHING AWAKENING—IS SPRING HERE?

Yi Shu gritted his teeth.

He thought to himself, after all, Chi Yu is his only ’son’, if he doesn’t help him, who will?

If President Gu wants to make trouble, let him focus on him; he will bear it all.

So Yi Shu nodded in agreement, "Post it, but try to blur the face of the person on the tree a little. She’s the owner of the rural inn, and we didn’t get her permission, so let’s not go overboard, otherwise, it won’t be justifiable."

Liu Xu knew it was the inn owner, and because he knew she has a good personality, he wasn’t too concerned.

After hearing Yi Shu’s explanation, he felt it made sense and agreed, "Alright, I’ll adjust it before posting online, and you let the Chi Yu support team know about it."

Yi Shu made an OK gesture, "No problem."

Because Chi Yu went to the countryside to record an outdoor variety show, his fans, longing dearly for him, had no other outlet to express their feelings and could only refresh the official Weibo of "Desired Ecology" frequently, which kept the official account quite popular daily.

At this time, the official blog posted a new update.

Desired Ecology Official Weibo V: [Branches thick with green shade, red calyces bright and clear. The blazing midday sun shining fiercely bright — latest scoop, vlog.]

This caption is from a poem by Wei Yingwu.

Upon seeing the official blog had posted a vlog, the fans eagerly clicked to watch.

The first view in the video shows a woman whose face can only partially be seen as she sleeps on a tree, while Chi Yu stands beneath the tree, looking up at her pensively.

This vlog had no subtitles, only shifting between long shots and close-ups, with no deliberate expression, as if it was just a photographer’s inspired moment captured in a beautiful style.

Moreover, because this video was posted by the official account and not leaked from elsewhere, everyone commented calmly.

But as the shares increased rapidly and it visibly climbed the trending topics on Weibo, appearing among several notable tags, the fans realized something was amiss and began actively controlling the comments.

Top Comment: [Life revives, has spring arrived? (dog head for safety)]

Top Comment: [Did I see it wrong? Chi Yu is standing under the tree, looking affectionately at the woman... in the tree?]

Top Comment: [Is this the flood coming? Is Chi Yu about to reveal a relationship?]

The top-rated comment had already exceeded seventy thousand likes, with other top comments also not far behind.

Speculating netizens, unaware of the video’s origin, thought Chi Yu was about to reveal a relationship, but after fans explained and controlled the comments, the public opinion slowly returned to normal.

[Oh, what a scare! I thought Chi Yu was announcing a relationship. I was in class just now and almost cried in the classroom, but now I’m okay, the tears have been forced back in.]

[I was scared to death too. I was puzzled; Chi Yu just clarified at the concert that he won’t be in a relationship for the next few years. Could everyone indicate this when sharing? My heart can’t take these surprises.]

[As soon as I saw it was posted by the "Desired Ecology" official blog, I was instantly at ease.]

[The girl sleeping on the tree in the video is so beautiful even from a side view, and appearing together with Chi Yu makes it even more stunning. If she sees herself appearing with Chi Yu, she’d probably die of happiness.]

[Hand up! I want to say the girl on the tree looks beautiful even from the side, and I really want to see her full face; it must be stunningly beautiful.]

Once the public opinion settled down, netizens and fans started discussing the person in the tree.

...

Gu Yuan still didn’t know she was trending with Chi Yu.

At that moment, she and Chi Yu were in a room together, and the atmosphere was very tense.
