The Mightiest Little Peasant c1-799

by Watermelonian, 西瓜星人

  The comments on all major platforms were overwhelmingly positive.

  By eight o’clock, the fan club began to organize another push to increase Liu Bingyao’s ranking once more.

  In the meantime, Liu Bingyao’s official Weibo account also started its promotion.

  The music video of “Starry Sky” was released and spread like wildfire.

  Many people became instant fans after watching it. The Weibo account got many new followers, and the video received many positive reviews.

  Many professional music critics also commented favorably on the music video.

  The hype continued to rise, and Liu Bingyao’s popularity soared.

  As she gained more followers, Liu Bingyao’s hit song continued to advance on all the big charts, surpassing all the big names and reaching first place.

  Finally, at eight o’clock in the evening, she had conquered the final popularity chart.

  A clean sweep!

  In an instant, all the major fan groups on Tieba were in a frenzied uproar.

  A newcomer taking first place in all the popularity charts was an incredible feat!

  The people in all the major music platforms and media outlets were shocked.

  Liu Bingyao’s name finally entered their sights. Before this, she was at most an Internet celebrity, and Tianze Entertainment was only a small company.

  They had never bothered keeping an eye on them.

  However, a newcomer from that unremarkable entertainment company had taken the top spot in all the popularity charts. That was unbelievable!

  Many people did not treat the news seriously, thinking that she had achieved that feat using money.

  However, they were dumbfounded when they looked at the situation on Weibo and Tieba.

  ‘What? How could this newcomer have a million followers and such an active fan club?’

  “Quick, quick! Get me her information!”

  “Quick! Contact Tianze Entertainment. We want to be the first to interview her.”

  All the major entertainment media outlets got into the action.

  After giving out red packets in the various chat groups, Tang Hao turned off his computer and stretched.

  He was satisfied with the clean sweep.

  That could be considered a good start. If it continued, she would become more and more popular.

  After a while, his phone rang. It was He Meiting.

  “Sis Meiting!” Tang Hao answered the call.

  “Thank you for your hard work, Chairman Tang!” He Meiting said with a smile.

  “What hard work?” Tang Hao was stunned.

  “You didn’t sleep last night, right? You’ve been helping me with the rankings. I saw it all. I’m also on Tieba. I even snatched one of your red packets!” He Meiting said.

  Tang Hao scratched his head and suddenly felt a little awkward.

  “Now… how is it?” After a while, Tang Hao asked.

  “It’s great! The results are nothing short of amazing. I can’t believe it. I received a lot of calls just now, and they’re all requesting an interview.”

  “In the past, we had to beg these outlets to come whenever we have a debut singer. Now, they’re fighting to be the first to interview her. How rare!” He Meiting said emotionally.

  After a pause, she continued, “As long as Bingyao continues to work hard, her potential will be limitless!”

  Tang Hao smiled and said, “Then I’ll have to trouble you to guide her, Sis Meiting.”

  He Meiting smiled mischievously and said profoundly, “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her.”

  Hearing the mischievous tone in her voice, Tang Hao felt awkward again and could not help but cough.

  After chatting for a while more, she ended the call.

  In the next few days, Liu Bingyao became more and more popular. She went on several interviews, and many variety shows had also contacted her. It was as if she was on fire.

  The hit song was broadcast everywhere.

  Tang Hao could hear the song at Z University every day. Many people played it in their classrooms, obsessed with Liu Bingyao’s heavenly voice.

  The university radio station also played the song every day.

  “Our Z University has finally produced a big star!”

  The university’s Tieba and forums were lively with discussions.

  The next three days passed in the blink of an eye. The year had also come to an end. Soon, it was the New Year’s holiday.

  Chapter 615 - Boyfriend For A Day

  Tang Hao spent his New Year’s Day uneventfully.

  He stayed in his apartment in the morning and went out with Yan’er in the afternoon. In the evening, he sent her back to the dormitory.

  When he got home, he received a call from Assistant Han.

  “Are you free tomorrow, Chairman Tang?” Han Yutong asked.

  “Yes! What’s the matter?”

  “Well…” she suddenly hesitated. “Can you accompany me tomorrow?”

  “Sure!” Tang Hao readily agreed. “What’s the matter?”

  She hemmed and hawed for a while and said softly, “Be my boyfriend!”

  “Huh?”

  Tang Hao was stunned and at a loss for a reply.

  “It’s just for one day!” Han Yutong added.

  “Well…” Tang Hao grinned and hesitated.

  “I’m begging you, Chairman Tang. It’s just for one day, please!” She pleaded.

  “What’s going on?” Tang Hao asked.

  “My relatives are coming tomorrow. They’re from my first uncle’s family. My family has a good relationship with them, but my cousin is especially annoying.

  “She’s been trying to one-up me in everything since we’re kids, and she’s very sarcastic.

  “The last time we met, she even laughed at me for being single. How can I tolerate that? Don’t you think so?”

  As she said that, Han Yutong clenched her teeth and fists resentfully.

  ‘I can get married if I want to!’

  She had countless pursuers both in Westridge and Provincial City. It was just that she could not be bothered with them.

  As long as she said a word, her pursuers could form a line across the city.

  How infuriating!

  The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she punched the pillow in her arms hard.

  Tang Hao laughed and said, “Yes! We shouldn’t tolerate that!”

  “That’s why I thought of you… If I don’t have a boyfriend this time, I can’t look her in the eye! She’ll definitely mock me again!” Han Yutong said.

  Then, she fell silent.

  After a long time, she said softly, “I don’t want to look for anyone else… other than you!”

  Tang Hao was silent for a while.

  He could hear the undertones of love in her words. He knew very well what she was thinking.

  “OK!” He finally agreed after a long time.

  “Really? Are you sure?”

  On the other end of the phone, Han Yutong almost jumped out of her bed in surprise.

  “Mm!” Tang Hao responded.

  “That’s great!” Han Yutong clenched her fists and said excitedly

  “Thank you, Chairman Tang!” She said coyly.

  “You don’t have to thank me!” Tang Hao could not help but laugh.

  “I’ll thank you anyway. You’re the best, Chairman Tang!” She smiled sweetly, as though her mouth was smeared with honey.

  Even if it were just for a day, it would still be good!

  Moreover, tomorrow was a very special day with a special meaning.

  “Then… please come over early tomorrow, Chairman Tang. They might arrive at about eight or nine o’clock,” Han Yutong said.

  “OK!” Tang Hao said.

  Then, there was a moment of silence.

  “What are you doing now, Chairman Tang?”

  “Surfing the Internet!”

  “Oh!” She replied.

  She pau
sed for a moment and asked, “Chairman Tang, am I really too old to be single?”

  “How can that be! You’re just at the right age!” Tang Hao said.

  She was surprised by the reply. After thinking for a moment, she agreed with him. Chairman Tang’s girlfriend was the same age as her. Apparently, Chairman Tang preferred mature women.

  She pursed her lips and was delighted again.

  “Then… Chairman Tang, you should go to bed early. Oh, right, you don’t seem to sleep a lot. Good night then. I’ll go to bed early. See you tomorrow!”

  “Good night!”

  Early the next morning, Tang Hao went to Han Yutong’s house.

  He rang the doorbell. It was her mother who opened the door.

  “You’re here, Lil Tang!” Mrs. Han said with an affectionate smile.

  “Auntie!” Tang Hao greeted her and handed her the bag in his hand.

  “Well… Oh! You don’t have to bring anything!” Mrs. Han joked.

  “Don’t mention it!” Tang Hao said.

  “Come in!”

  Tang Hao walked into the house and looked around. “Where is she? Is she still in bed?” He asked.

  “Ha! She woke up very early to dress up! She’s been very excited,” Mrs. Han said with a smile. “Have a seat! She still needs some time.”

  Tang Hao sat down and chatted with Mrs. Han for a while.

  Finally, a bedroom door opened, and Han Yutong walked out.

  She wore exquisite makeup on her face, which made her look even more beautiful than usual.

  Tang Hao lifted her head and was stunned.

  “You’re here, Chairman Tang!” She called out as she walked.

  “Ah, right! I can’t call you Chairman Tang today.” She pursed her lips into a smile, walked up next to Tang Hao, sat down, and held his arm.

  She was close enough that he could smell her fragrance.

  “I’ll have to call you Darling today!”

  As she spoke, she smiled brightly and held Tang Hao’s hand tightly.

  Mrs. Han shook her head helplessly.

  She did not know whether it was a good thing for her daughter to indulge in such fantasies.

  However, she was not going to say anything. She smiled, got up, and walked to the kitchen. “I’ll prepare lunch. You guys chat!”

  Seeing her mother leave, Han Yutong tilted her head and rested it on Tang Hao’s shoulder.

  She nuzzled her head on his shoulder and lazily narrowed her eyes.

  “Your shoulders are so wide, Chairman Tang…

  “Later, I’ll rest my head like this. You have to cooperate with me. You need to look more natural and not so stiff. Show some indulgence on your face from time to time. Yes, that’s the way!

  “My cousin is very shrewd. If you don’t put up a proper act, she’ll be able to tell at a glance.”

  Tang Hao was speechless.

  ‘Showing some indulgence on my face from time to time? That’s quite difficult!’

  He pondered for a moment, stretched his arm, grabbed her slender waist, and smiled at her.

  His smile was very gentle. His gaze was spirited and carried some indulgence.

  Han Yutong stared blankly at him.

  Thump! Thump! Her heart was beating wildly.

  She had fantasized about that scene countless times, but she had never expected to experience it one day.

  She subconsciously moved closer as she stared at him, slowly closed her beautiful eyes, and delivered a kiss.

  She inched forward, and their lips got closer and closer.

  They were so close that they could feel each other’s breath.

  However, at that moment, a loud clang could be heard from the kitchen.

  Han Yutong was shocked and opened her eyes abruptly. She looked toward the kitchen and saw her mother standing there with an awkward expression.

  “I’m sorry! Don’t mind me! You guys continue!”

  Mrs. Han smiled awkwardly and bent down to pick up the casserole on the ground.

  Han Yutong felt as if she had been electrocuted. She sat back down and yelled, “Mom! What are you doing?”

  “You really don’t have to mind me!”

  Mrs. Han quickly walked back into the kitchen.

  Han Yutong sat there, her face flushed red. She looked at her watch and said, “They’re arriving soon. Let’s sync up our stories first. For example, when did we meet?”

  It took about ten minutes for the two of them to make up a matching story.

  After a while, they could hear the sound of footsteps at the door. Then, the doorbell rang.

  “They’re here!”

  Han Yutong stood up immediately as if she was facing a great enemy.

  “Do you need to be so nervous?” Tang Hao said.

  “Hah! You don’t know how difficult my cousin can be,” Han Yutong said.

  “I’ll get it!”

  Mrs. Han walked out of the kitchen, wiped her hands, and went to open the door.

  When the door opened, they saw four people standing outside. In front was a middle-aged couple, and behind them was a young couple holding hands. They seemed like husband and wife.

  “Brother, Sister-in-law, you’re here!” Mrs. Han said with a smile.

  “Long time no see, Wenwen! Here, take this, it’s a small gift!”

  The middle-aged man enthusiastically handed over the gift bags in his hands.

  “You didn’t have to buy so many gifts, Brother!” Mrs. Han said.

  “Don’t mention it!”

  “Why are all of you still standing there? Come in quickly! Oh, Yingyu, you’ve become more beautiful. You’re here too, Wei!” Mrs. Han greeted them one by one.

  Han Yutong took Tang Hao’s hand. The couple stood up and walked to the door.

  The four visitors were all stunned.

  “Wow! Yutong, why are you dressed so beautifully today? I almost couldn’t recognize you!” First Aunt said. She turned to look at Tang Hao and asked, “He is…?”

  Han Yutong smiled and greeted her aunt, then nodded and said, “Oh, he is my boyfriend! His name is Tang Hao!”

  The visitors were stunned again.

  ‘Boyfriend?

  ‘Yutong actually has a boyfriend?’

  They carefully sized up Tang Hao with a curious expression on their faces.

  ‘How should we put it? The guy seems a little too young. One can easily tell that he’s not very reliable!’

  They thought that Han Yutong never had a boyfriend because she had high standards for her Prince Charming. However, the young man in front of them could not be said to be Prince Charming by any stretch of the imagination!

  First Uncle and Aunt did not say anything. However, Su Yingyu, Han Yutong’s cousin sister, who was standing behind them, glanced at Tang Hao and laughed, “Ha, Cousin Yutong! I didn’t expect you to like boy toys!”

  She sounded quite sarcastic.

  “Watch your mouth, Yingyu!” First Uncle Su Yufu turned around and chided her.

  “I’m only saying it as it is, Dad! Who could he be, if not for a boy toy? Look, he’s so young, how old is he? Is he even twenty years old?” Su Yingyu sneered.

  “You shouldn’t do that, Yutong! I know that I told you to hurry up and find a partner, but you can’t go out and pick the first boy you see! Look at him, he doesn’t look reliable at all! Just compare him to your cousin-in-law!”

  As she said that, she grabbed her husband’s arm and gave him a loving and sweet look.

  “I like him. That has nothing to do with you!” Han Yutong said indignantly.

  “I’m saying this for your own good, Yutong!” Su Yingyu said sharply, “Women have to get married as soon as possible. Don’t you see how old you are, yet you’re still fooling around? Why can’t you find yourself a reliable partner?”

  “You…”

  Han Yutong gnash
ed her teeth in anger.

  Su Yingyu raised her eyebrows and looked at her smugly.

  Then, she turned to Mrs. Han and said, “Aunt, why don’t you be more concerned about her? Yutong is not young anymore! It’s time for her to get married! She’ll be a spinster in a few years, and no one would want her!”

  “Whether I get married or not is none of your business!” Han Yutong said angrily.

  “Alright, alright! Why do you have to mention that?” Su Yufu tried to defuse the situation.

  “Make yourselves at home. I’ll go make some tea!” Mrs. Han walked to the side, took out the freshly boiled water, and started to make tea.

  The visitors walked into the house and sat down in the living room.

  Su Yufu and his wife sat down and started to chat casually with Mrs. Han.

  Su Yingyu seemed awkward. She looked around her and frowned from time to time, as though she did not like her surroundings.

  “These things… are too old! What year is it?” She looked at the decorations around her and muttered.

  “This can’t compare to our house. Who knows when was the last time they changed their furniture!” She whispered to her husband.

  “Bear with it!, Yingyu” Her husband Lin Wei said.

  “Hmph!” Su Yingyu sighed disdainfully.

  Han Yutong was getting more and more annoyed. “You didn’t have to come if you dislike this place so much!” She grumbled angrily.

  As she said that, she held Tang Hao’s hand even tighter.

  After sitting for a while, Su Yingyu suddenly stood up and said, “Dad, it’s still too early! I want to go out for a walk. I’ll come back for lunch.”

  “Well…” Su Yufu hesitated and looked at Mrs. Han.

  “It’s fine, Yingyu. Yutong, you should go along too!” Mrs. Han said.

  “Never mind!” Su Yingyu and Han Yutong said at the same time.

  The two women were stunned after saying that.

  They looked at each other and grunted unhappily.

  “We’re going for a ride, Auntie. It’s not convenient to have two more passengers in the car!” Su Yingyu said.

  “Pah! It’s not like only you have a car!” Han Yutong said.

  Su Yingyu raised her eyebrows and said, “Then do you have one?”

  “My car isn’t here!” Han Yutong said.

  She did have a car, but it was in Westridge, and it was a company car.
