Heartthrob, Your Image is Crumbling!

Chapter 478: Su Qing Left

Zhou Yuwen helped Su Qing register an account. He also asked Shen Yu for the original video shot by the Student Union's camera, hired professionals to carefully edit and refine it, and published it immediately.By two in the early morning, in just five short hours, the Fun Campus app had gained two hundred thousand new users, pushing the total user base past three million.

When the video was first launched across the entire network at two o'clock, it broke through one hundred thousand likes in a mere ten minutes, and the followers on her personal account instantly soared to one hundred and fifty thousand.

Zhou Yuwen then posted a second update. It was a photo of Su Qing from high school when she was only sixteen years old. She was in the bloom of her youth, with beautiful, long black hair and large, watery eyes.

She stood in the shade of a tree, holding a branch with one hand as she looked back and smiled at the camera. Her eyes seemed as if they could speak. That single photo alone was enough to leave people completely mesmerized.

Back in 2009, a school beauty from Tsinghua University went viral across the country with a photo of her holding a cup of milk tea. Tonight, Su Qing's online traffic was in no way inferior to Sister Milk Tea's. Coupled with Zhou Yuwen adding fuel to the fire, the photo was pinned to the top of major forums in the blink of an eye.

Such an innocent and beautiful girl, yet so deeply devoted and loyal. She instantly captured the hearts of countless netizens.

They flooded the comment sections, begging to know: who was this girl?

And where was she?

"She is a school beauty from a college in Jinling! She has a personal account on Fun Campus!"

"Great, I am downloading it right now!"

At five in the early morning.

The number of new users on Fun Campus surpassed five hundred thousand.

Zhou Yuwen asked the staff how many followers Su Qing had.

His subordinate replied, "Three hundred thousand."

Zhou Yuwen stated that it was not enough.

"Change it to three million."

The moment those words left Zhou Yuwen's mouth, everyone froze.

Thinking she had misheard, Tao Tian could not help but speak up. "But our total user base is only three million."

"They do not know that," Zhou Yuwen replied.

The entire backend of Fun Campus was under Zhou Yuwen's control. If he wanted to change something, it only took a few strokes of the keyboard. So, when people woke up and opened the Fun Campus app again, they saw that Su Qing's personal account had already broken past three million followers.

Everyone was shocked!

Currently, the most influential campus blogger only had five hundred thousand followers.

Yet Su Qing had managed to surpass three million in a single night!

Was this not too badass!?

There was nothing they could do; the hype was simply too massive.

After all, she was Zhou Yuwen's first love.

But even the hype surrounding a first love should not be this big, right?

The netizens could not wrap their heads around it. They thought that even if she was incredibly beautiful, she should not have three million followers. This Fun Campus software had only just been released; there might not even be three million people using it.

But the reality staring them in the face was three million.

Moreover, according to the rules of Fun Campus, since the likes on Su Qing's personal video had exceeded one million, she directly won the title of the Most Beautiful School Beauty, earning a cash prize of three hundred thousand yuan from Fun Campus!

This news popped up in the news windows of major portal platforms.

A university freshman could make three hundred thousand yuan in the blink of an eye?

Just by simply recording a video?

Looking closely, it did not even seem like her singing in the video was that good.

It was true that she was beautiful.

However, the one thing universities did not lack was beautiful girls. Female university students from all corners of the country heard that a girl had won a three-hundred-thousand-yuan prize just for being pretty, and they could not help but click in out of curiosity.

Then, they heard their classmates say that as long as they registered an account on this Fun Campus app, they could post updates, and if they reached a certain number of likes, they could receive cash rewards.

"Oh?"

Dance students, broadcasting majors, and students from art schools all over the country took a strong interest in this software upon hearing the news.

Besides Su Qing's video, they scrolled through other clips and found many people showing off their talents. Some were singing, some were dancing, and others were playing the guitar.

Rumor had it that they had all received rewards. Even though it was only a few thousand yuan, for these university students who had no idea where to start making money, this was truly a golden opportunity.

Besides, they felt that the performances shown were nothing spectacular.

'I could do that too!'

And just like that, university students registered for accounts one after another.

Within a week, the number of registrations surpassed five million and continued to grow. Zhou Yuwen naturally struck while the iron was hot during this period. He gradually rolled out various reward systems to encourage content creators. Aside from cash prizes, he promised traffic support and even stepped up to the plate himself.

He announced that the person with the most likes would receive exclusive packaging and promotion. Things like getting a custom song written or shooting a movie were all possible!

With Zhou Yuwen's declaration, the creators grew even more passionate. They uploaded all sorts of videos and photos, even getting their family members to register on Fun Campus just to like their posts.

They had not thought the name through at the very beginning and called it Fun Campus, but they never explicitly stated that non-university students were barred from registering.

Therefore, during this time, many users who were not university students also crowded into Fun Campus.

Tao Tian had brought this up with Zhou Yuwen.

Zhou Yuwen just nodded, choosing to turn a blind eye to it.

After all, the short video feature would definitely be spun off as an independent app from Fun Campus later on anyway.

In just half a month, the Fun Campus software had developed to a substantial scale.

However, those who were meant to leave would still leave.

Su Qing left in mid-June.

An airplane glided across the azure sky.

In the airport's departure lounge.

Su Qing looked at the familiar faces of everyone who had come to see her off.

In the end, she did not see Zhou Yuwen.

Su Qing felt disappointed.

Shen Yu held Su Qing's hand reluctantly and said, "Wait for me for half a year. In half a year, I will come keep you company."

Su Qing just smiled and did not say a word.

"Hey, Su Qing, are you really going to leave? Your followers have broken past three million!" Zheng Yanyan said, feeling a bit jealous as she looked at the entire Fun Campus app buzzing with discussions about Su Qing.

She had posted several videos herself, but her current follower count was only around one hundred thousand.

Meanwhile, Su Qing had only posted two pieces of content in total. Most importantly, Su Qing had not even managed the account herself, yet she somehow had three million followers!

Rumor had it that several talent agencies already wanted to sign Su Qing for acting roles!

This was a chance to become a star!

No matter how big the conflict with Zhou Yuwen was, she should not joke around with her own future!

"Su Qing, do you not want to become a huge star and ruthlessly slap Zhou Yuwen in the face?"

Zheng Yanyan continuously tried to tempt her.

In truth, she did not want Su Qing to leave either.

Unfortunately, Su Qing's mind was made up.

Su Qing kept her eyes fixed on the entrance. She still hoped that Zhou Yuwen would appear on the day of her departure, even if it was just for a hug.

Lu Lin saw through Su Qing's thoughts and spoke up. "He might just be too busy. I heard that Jiang Xinyi and Zhou Yuwen have completely broken up."

"Haha! Serves her right, that old woman! I said long ago that she wasn't worthy, but she still threw herself at him. Look what happened now! If you ask me, Su Qing is the real badass! Su Qing, from now on, you are my older sister!" Zheng Yanyan winked at Su Qing. At this moment, she was truly completely convinced by Su Qing, mainly because she felt Su Qing had managed to anger Jiang Xinyi enough to drive her away.

Now that Su Qing was also flying far away abroad.

Did that not mean Zhou Yuwen would belong solely to her from now on?

Sure enough, the one who didn't cause a fuss was the one who got the last laugh.

Zheng Yanyan had truly learned her lesson.

Su Qing stared at the entrance for quite a while. Seeing that Zhou Yuwen still had not shown up, she felt disappointed, but she forced herself to stay calm and smiled. "I am afraid there will be no 'from now on'. He must be very angry with me."

These past few days, Zhou Yuwen had not taken the initiative to look for Su Qing.

And Su Qing would sometimes pick up her phone, wanting to send Zhou Yuwen a message.

But after hesitating for a moment, she never sent it.

Su Qing knew that what she did that day was indeed inappropriate for the occasion. Plus, with what Lu Lin just said about Zhou Yuwen and Jiang Xinyi breaking up.

Su Qing guessed that the current Zhou Yuwen must absolutely loathe her, right?

Otherwise, why would he refuse to even see her one last time?

To be honest, at this moment, Su Qing even thought that once she left this land, it might truly be over between them.

Just as Su Qing was falling into despair.

"Huh! Senior Sister Tao Tian?"

Shen Yu called out.

Su Qing immediately turned her head, a sliver of hope inexplicably rising in her heart once more.

Instead, she saw Tao Tian, dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, walking over with a beaming smile.

Su Qing looked left and right for Zhou Yuwen, but Tao Tian simply addressed her. "Sorry, Yuwen is just too busy. President Zhou asked me to bring this to you."

Saying that, Tao Tian handed Su Qing a large wallet.

Su Qing opened it to take a look, only to find a bank card and a stack of US dollars inside.

"There is one hundred thousand US dollars in this card, and money will be deposited into it regularly every month. President Zhou asked me to apologize to you for using your name to register an account, but all the revenue generated by that account will be sent directly to you," Tao Tian said to Su Qing with a smile.

Looking at the American dollars before her, Su Qing said nothing. She simply put the wallet away on her own and said, "Tell him it is unnecessary. He can use my identity however he wants; he doesn't need to ask for my permission."

Tao Tian looked at the pretty girl in front of her. To be honest, ever since the night of the gala, Tao Tian had held a bit of admiration for Su Qing.

After hesitating for a moment, Tao Tian said, "Actually, Yuwen wanted to..."

"You do not need to say it."

Su Qing interrupted Tao Tian. She let out a self-deprecating laugh and said, "I am so foolish. Even at a time like this, I actually still harbor fantasies about him."

At that moment, the boarding announcement echoed through the airport's speakers.

Looking at the four girls who had come to see her off, Su Qing embraced them one by one.

"Please take good care of him for me," Su Qing said to Tao Tian, Zheng Yanyan, and Lu Lin.

For some reason, tears suddenly streamed down Zheng Yanyan's face.

She embraced Su Qing tightly and could not help but cry, "Su Qing, I cannot bear to see you go. I am sorry."

Zheng Yanyan was showing her true feelings; she wasn't faking it. Even though she bickered with Su Qing the most, the thought of possibly never seeing Su Qing again was enough to make her break down in tears.

She held onto Su Qing, refusing to let go for a long time.

Su Qing merely patted her beautiful shoulder lightly, smiling as she assured her that it was okay.

"We will meet again in the future."

"Since you have decided to follow Zhou Yuwen, you must stay with him all the way. You finally managed to steal him away from me. If you lose him next time, I will not let you off the hook," Su Qing joked.

Zheng Yanyan shot her a reproachful glare and muttered, "You are so annoying."

"No matter what happens, I could never leave my hubby! Since you aren't here, I will protect him for the both of us! When you come back next time, we will be together!"

"Cough, cough!" Lu Lin coughed twice, signaling that there was still an outsider present.

"Oh right, I almost forgot! Shen Yu isn't one of our sisters yet!" Zheng Yanyan exclaimed.

Shen Yu blushed and lowered her head, thinking to herself, 'You really did not need to point that out.'

Amused by the remark, Su Qing turned her attention back to Shen Yu and said very solemnly, "I am leaving."

Shen Yu nodded.

The two of them held hands but didn't know what to say. Strictly speaking, the relationship between the two of them was the closest.

Shen Yu's plan was to study abroad next semester as well, which meant Su Qing was essentially paving the way for her.

Su Qing nodded and said, "I will wait for you."

After saying her goodbyes to her three roommates, Su Qing looked at Tao Tian again. She was not very familiar with Tao Tian, so she merely nodded.

Tao Tian returned the gesture with a nod of her own.

Then, Su Qing pushed four or five suitcases by herself, carrying a backpack on her shoulders.

And just like that, she departed.

The days of traveling across the ocean were lonely.

Thinking about it carefully, ever since she got together with Zhou Yuwen in her previous life, Su Qing had never suffered any hardships. Every time she traveled, Zhou Yuwen would arrange everything perfectly.

When everything became a habit, it was taken as a matter of course.

Just like now, with Su Qing pushing mountains of luggage all on her own.

Su Qing could not help but think that if she had not divorced Zhou Yuwen, he would probably be the one pushing the luggage for this long trip, while she only needed to stand by his side and hold his arm.

At the thought of this, a faint smile inevitably graced the corner of her mouth.

Su Qing had left.

Shen Yu said, "Let's go back."

Everyone nodded. Zheng Yanyan then asked Tao Tian, "Big Boobs, how did you get here?"

Tao Tian smiled and replied, "I drove here. Why? Do you guys want a ride?"

Zheng Yanyan asked, "Did hubby really not come? He isn't waiting in the car, is he?"

"Well,"

Hearing this, Tao Tian flashed a mysterious smile. "You are probably overthinking it."

Zhou Yuwen had booked a first-class ticket for Su Qing. After handing her luggage over to the check-in counter, Su Qing boarded the airplane carrying only a small bag.

A dedicated flight attendant guided her.

After escorting Su Qing to her seat, the flight attendant stayed to introduce the available services and asked if she needed anything.

Su Qing shook her head.

"Alright, ma'am. Please have a good rest." The flight attendant gave Su Qing a beautiful smile before turning and leaving.

The airplane was about to take off.

Su Qing pulled back the curtain and looked down through the small window.

The people at the airport gradually grew smaller.

"Hi, beautiful lady, would you like some chewing gum?" At that moment, a rather handsome young man walked over and struck up a conversation in English.

Su Qing waved her hand dismissively without even lifting her head, indicating, "No, thank you."

"Oh, miss, it is a long journey. Why don't we get to know each other a little better?"

"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhou Yuwen, and I am from China."

"?"

Taken aback, Su Qing raised her head.

Only to see that handsome face...
