Gasp! She's a Time Traveler Using Modern Tech to Improve Ancient Life-Chapter 467 - 465: Grandmother and Grandson Trend Online
"Grandma, you went to Yongtang and saw her?" Lu Shouyue quickly guessed the origin of this embroidery with traces of time.
Yu Ni chuckled and replied, "Yes, went to take a look on the opening day but didn’t see the young lady. Bought the best-looking embroidery from the shop to show support. Maybe the fate to meet hasn’t arrived yet, Grandma’s waiting for you to bring her back for me to see."
Lu Shouyue smiled slightly and softly said "Mm."
Enjoying the warm time of chat between grandparent and grandchild, neither had any idea that the online streaming platform already had them trending.
The "Farming Grandma" account originally had only thirty-two thousand loyal followers. After the man wearing a Vacheron Constantin Les Historiques wristwatch appeared, it gained sixty thousand fans in just half an hour, and the number continues to grow.
The automatically saved livestream video that can be replayed anytime also gained over a hundred thousand likes, and the comment section was bustling with remarks like "Grandma, is there any grandson vacancy at your home?" "Grandma, I am your long-lost granddaughter-in-law!" "Did the young master go home today?" "Madam, let this old servant help you farm together," all sorts of claims or jokes.
Online admiration for fame and power often happens instinctively, it’s no longer the era where poverty is considered honorable.
A simple farming elder suddenly has a grandson with a Vacheron Constantin Les Historiques wristwatch; this dramatic scene doesn’t need flaunting wealth to instantly crack the code for online popularity.
People are curious, excited, and thrilled.
There’s a very thoughtful conversation in "Analects."
Zigong asked: "Being poor yet not sycophantic, rich yet not arrogant, how is that?"
Confucius answered: "That’s acceptable. Better yet is being poor and cheerful, rich and courteous."
In this restless world, being poor and not sycophantic is already rare, being poor and cheerful is even rarer.
Online, the poor indulge in the frenzy of chasing the rich, while the rich pursue simple joys in reality.
Lu Shouyue stayed overnight at Grandma’s house, habitually browsed the news before sleeping, only to find himself and Grandma trending online.
Although neither showed their faces, with only the vegetable garden and the figures of the two squatting displayed in the livestream, Lu Shouyue recognized himself and Grandma right away.
He pondered for a moment, took off his watch, and placed it in the bedside drawer.
Even though he quite liked the watch recently, since it got on the trending list, he didn’t want to wear it anymore.
Lu Shouyue had long known about Grandma’s fondness for livestreaming.
He was among the original thirty-two thousand fans following the "Farming Grandma" account and the top gifter on her gift list.
There were many messages on WeChat, some from bad friends, others from partners.
Even though he didn’t show his face, for those familiar with him, Lu Shouyue’s figure was easily recognizable. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Lu Shouyue replied to one or two, then his eyes stopped at Lin Wanwan’s WeChat avatar.
This hand-drawn beauty with a cherry in her mouth, opening one eye and closing the other, with an air of pride and disdain, truly embodied Lin Wanwan’s sense of aloofness.
She sure knew how to choose a picture for her avatar.
The other side hadn’t sent him any messages, she hadn’t noticed the trending news or seen it without recognizing him?
Lu Shouyue silently looked at Lin Wanwan’s WeChat avatar, couldn’t help but let his imagination wander.
Love really lowers intelligence, especially prone to anxiety and insecurity.
Eventually, he couldn’t resist sending Lin Wanwan a WeChat message: "Wanwan, are you asleep?"
The other side remained silent as always, the sent WeChat sunk like a stone in the sea without any response.
Lu Shouyue checked the time; it was nearing eleven at night. He smiled wryly, put down his phone, and picked up a book from the bedside, began reading.
The misunderstood aloof Lin Wanwan was sleeping peacefully in Great Tang, hugging little Qingyu.
Unaware of everything modern, naturally oblivious to it.
Honestly, even if Lin Wanwan were still in the modern world now, she wouldn’t be interested in checking out any trending news about this Vacheron Constantin young master.
Therefore, Lu Shouyue’s hope for her to actively inquire was unlikely to happen.
Lin Wanwan hadn’t noticed, but Chen Yan, still savoring today’s feast and handsome guy, did.
Seeing the trending man’s attire and watch, she immediately recognized Lu Shouyue.
The impression he left on her today was too deep, the first real handsome guy she saw in her life, not some unreachable screen-made star.
She decisively followed through the trending list, downloaded a short video app popular among middle-aged and low-profile folks, and found the "Farming Grandma" video account, tapped follow.
She wanted to seek traces of the handsome guy in "Farming Grandma’s" previous videos, but unfortunately found no clues.
Chen Yan was still thinking about Lu Shouyue and the hefty 17-million wristwatch tag in the trending list when suddenly a message popped up on WeChat.
"Are you asleep?"
It was Su Yanwei who finished playing his game and thought to connect emotionally.
Chen Yan hesitated for a moment but replied.
Su Yanwei wasn’t as passionate as she imagined, the pursuing style she hoped for didn’t appear.
Therefore, not to be too cold for now, she decided to keep a hold on him.
Lu Shouyue is unreachable, not necessarily attainable. Better grab the nearby orchid first rather than ending up empty-handed.
Under Chen Yan’s deliberate teasing, the casual bedtime question from Su Yanwei turned into a long chat lasting over an hour.
"She has feelings for me." After exchanging goodnight wishes, Su Yanwei went to sleep in a good mood.
Actually, there was no lack of people chasing Su Yanwei; even among colleagues he previously worked with, there were those who showed him much enthusiasm.
However, he had already observed her shopping habits and vanity before she suddenly found him interesting; a woman working in a luxury store and loves buying luxury goods is beyond his capacity to maintain.
For this kind of beauty, while not annoying, he surely keeps his distance, as he understands his limits.
He wants only a practical, grounded girl not after brand names, to lead a simple happy life, one like Chen Yan.
Only able to distinguish women having heavily made-up faces through their bright red lips, Su Yanwei fell gradually under Chen Yan’s spell, as she wished.
If Chen Yan distinctly aimed at getting Lu Shouyue and treated Su Yanwei coldly, he wouldn’t pursue tirelessly. It happened that she now showed him warmth yet coolness, making it quite confusing.
Su Yanwei actually isn’t a proactive person; if he were, with his looks, he would’ve long been in love.
Chen Yan appeared just at the right time in Su Yanwei’s psychological moment of desperately wanting to end his single life.
