Chapter 740: It’s Me, Su Yu
North City Garden residential complex.
Inside apartment 1204, building 4.
"Bang bang bang—" Urgent knocking sounded at the door.
"Lingling, open up! We're here!" Li Shumin's energetic shout came from outside the door.
"Coming, coming!" Lingling jumped off the sofa and ran to pull the door open.
Zhang Jiahong and Li Shumin walked in carrying two full bags of snacks, cold wind and laughter rushing in together.
It raised the room's temperature by several degrees.
"You guys, you're already here, why bring stuff?"
Lingling's mouth was polite, but her hands were very honest as she took the bags, already rummaging inside for potato chips.
"Pfft, then don't eat them!" Li Shumin rolled her eyes."Hehe, no way!"
The four greeted each other, took off their heavy coats, and sat together on the warm living room carpet.
The atmosphere was comfortable and joyful.
As they chatted, the topic somehow turned to "cars."
"Lingling, rich lady," Li Shumin peeled an orange and stuffed a segment into her mouth, "Didn't you say before you wanted to buy a car? Found one you like? When it gets colder, we can hitch rides with you for outings or work, hehe."
Qiuqiu also sat quietly nearby, looking curiously at Lingling.
If you asked who among the four of them was doing the best, Yao Lingling was undoubtedly the one.
The shell jacket she designed became a massive hit across the entire internet. Just the quarterly performance bonuses alone were astronomical figures for ordinary employees like them.
Not to mention, as the current design director, her base salary already started at twenty thousand.
Absolutely a little rich lady.
"I've looked." Lingling sat cross-legged on the carpet, her eyes full of longing, "I want to buy a white Mercedes C-Class. It's quite elegant and the price is right. Although I have some money now, I still want to save up first. Wait until the New Year when I get my annual bonus, then pay in full all at once. It won't hurt as much then."
"Really great," Zhang Jiahong sighed with emotion, "I never thought our Lingling would be driving a Mercedes, and a C-Class at that."
"Lingling is actually best suited for an A-Class, right?" Li Shumin suddenly smirked mischievously, reaching out and poking her flat chest.
"Get lost! Stinky Minmin!" Yao Lingling instantly bristled, her face turning as red as a tomato, pouncing on her to tickle her.
The girlfriends instantly became a chaotic mess, with endless sounds of laughter and playfighting.
The entire living room was bursting with energy.
Only Qiuqiu watched from the side.
She seemed somewhat detached, as if she didn't know how to integrate into such an intimate group dynamic.
Lingling's eyes darted around, noticing her awkwardness.
"Come on, come on! Let's play some Honor of Kings, team up! Qiuqiu, get online quickly!"
In her view, this kind of MOBA game was perfect for breaking the ice in a group.
Qiuqiu hesitated for a moment, saying softly, "I'm not very good, afraid I'll drag you down."
"No problem, having fun is the most important thing in games. With me here, I'll carry you!"
The four opened a room and were about to randomly match with a random teammate.
Although their skills varied and they lost more than they won, the joy of fighting side-by-side quickly brought them closer together.
The smiles on Qiuqiu's face gradually increased.
Just as one round ended, a WeChat message popped up.
[Su Yu's April: "Lingling, I should arrive at your complex around 11."]
Lingling's eyes lit up, she showed the screen to everyone, teasing, "What a coincidence! That 'Su Yu' sent a message, she says she's really coming over!"
"Oh ho? Quite bold!" Li Shumin immediately perked up, "Add her! I want to properly meet this drama queen who dares impersonate my idol!"
Yao Lingling "pfft" laughed: "Alright, alright, I'll ask her."
She then replied on WeChat: [Okay, welcome. By the way Su Yu, do you play Honor of Kings? We're just short one person right now, want to play a round?]
[Su Yu's April: "Okay, sure."]
"Done!" Lingling winked at her sisters, "This is a 'big star,' everyone be polite later, don't scare her away!"
"Got it! Don't worry!"
Qiuqiu also pursed her lips and smiled slightly. Even though she knew it was fake, seeing this ID still felt quite familiar.
After two minutes, 【Su Yu's April】 was added to the room.
An ordinary avatar, an ordinary Silver rank, no skins or noble badges, plain beyond plain.
Li Shumin couldn't wait to turn on voice chat, putting on a voice and asking: "Hello? Is this Miss Su Yu herself? I'm Lingling's good friend, your ten-year die-hard fan Li Shumin~ It's such an honor to meet you!"
[Su Yu's April] typed a reply: "It's me."
"Wow! It really is my idol!" Li Shumin held back laughter, continuing to tease, "Then could you send me an autographed CD? That long out-of-print 10th anniversary debut commemorative edition! I've been dreaming of having it!"
Zhang Jiahong and Yao Lingling also joined in: "We want one too! We want one too!"
[Su Yu's April]: "No problem, I'll bring them for you later."
"Thank you, Miss Su Yu! You're so generous!" Li Shumin exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Then... later when we meet, can I take a photo with you? I want to show off on my Moments!"
[Su Yu's April]: "That's not very convenient. My coming to Yancheng is a secret."
"Then I won't post it on Moments, just keep it for personal collection, okay?"
[Su Yu's April]: "Okay."
Looking at this series of extremely calm replies, Li Shumin muted her mic and muttered quietly, "Damn, she's really putting on an act? Not blushing or heart racing, really thinks she's Su Yu? If she's real, I'll eat this phone right now!"
"Hahahaha!"
The girls could no longer hold back, collapsing into laughter in the living room, filling the air with joyous sounds.
"Alright, alright, stop laughing, starting, starting!"
As the game entered the BP interface, the match officially began.
"Su Yu" locked in Gongsun Li. Seeing this, Li Shumin, playing support, immediately picked Yao, muttering: "Idol, don't be afraid, I'll ride on your head and protect you!"
Watching her stiff positioning and randomly used skills, it was clearly newbie play.
Li Shumin giggled and teased from the side:
"It's fine, it's fine, Miss Su Yu is usually busy with schedules, surely has no time to play games, we understand~"
"Oops! Idol, stop feeding!"
"Big star, your positioning is a bit flashy, who taught you that?"
"Turn on your mic? If we lose this round, could the idol sing a song to comfort our wounded hearts?"
Yao Lingling and Zhang Jiahong also joined in the teasing over voice chat, the whole room filled with cheerful laughter.
However, the situation took a sharp turn for the worse due to the bot lane collapsing. Just as the enemy took down the second tower and the army pressed forward preparing to push high ground.
[Su Yu's April] suddenly typed a very showy line in all chat: "Haven't played in a long time, was just getting a feel for it. Now I'm getting serious."
Li Shumin pouted, "Then we'll be counting on your skills, idol! Go for it!"
"Pfft—" Lingling almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
However, just one minute later, they weren't laughing anymore.
Second skill precisely blocked crowd control, ultimate countered and pushed back, sliver of health turned around and killed the enemy assassin...
The oil-paper umbrella in that Gongsun Li's hands seemed to come alive, darting and dancing across the battlefield, dazzling to the eye.
Extreme kiting, kiting three burly enemies...
A series of fluid, disgustingly smooth operations!
The situation began to reverse.
Basic attack, reposition, return to umbrella, basic attack again...
"Quadra Kill!"
As the system's passionate voice announcement sounded, and the big Quadra Kill icon appeared on screen.
The previously laughing and joking living room instantly fell silent.
Li Shumin, still riding on Gongsun Li's head, muttered: "This... this feels like a different person?! This awareness, this positioning... feels comparable to Sister Wen Ruan? Too damn good?!"
Hearing this, the Gongsun Li who had been flying around the jungle suddenly made an operational error, inexplicably running into a wall, pausing for a moment.
Then, like nothing happened, continued nonchalantly pushing lanes.
The four followed the minion wave pushing, preparing to end the game in one push.
Right at that moment.
"Ring ring ring—" A phone ringtone suddenly sounded.
It was an unfamiliar local number.
"Ugh, who's calling now!" Lingling flusteredly shouted: "Let's keep pushing, quick mid lane push!"
She casually put it on speakerphone, continuing to operate while casually asking: "Hello? Who is this?"
From the other end of the phone came a respectful and enthusiastic male voice: "Hello, may I ask if this is Ms. Yao Lingling?"
"It's me, what is it?"
"Hello, Ms. Yao. I am a sales consultant from Yancheng Lixingxing Mercedes-Benz Center. I'm calling to inform you that the Mercedes CLS Mr. Tang reserved for you has arrived at the dealership. All procedures have been completed. Would it be convenient for you to come pick it up this afternoon?"
"Wh-what?" Lingling thought she misheard, "What do you mean? What car?"
"Mercedes CLS350 4MATIC, Moonlight White." The sales consultant patiently repeated: "It was reserved for you by Mr. Tang Song last Friday, fully paid. As it's a fully imported model, it took a week to transfer from the port, just arrived today."
The living room suddenly became extremely quiet.
Not only did Lingling's fingers freeze, the movements of the other three people in the room also halted.
Even the Gongsun Li in the game suddenly stopped in front of the high ground tower, motionless.
Zhang Jiahong and Li Shumin exchanged a glance, both seeing shock and envy in each other's eyes.
As long-time roommates, they knew Lingling's preferences all too well.
That was her "Dream Car" she'd talked about since just after graduation, the most beautiful Mercedes coupe.
But because of the expensive price of seven to eight hundred thousand, she definitely couldn't afford it.
Even now that she had earned some money, because her family background was too thin, she only dared to aim for the slightly more affordable C-Class.
Who would have thought Senior Tang Song, without a word, directly arranged it for her?!
And the four-wheel drive top trim?!
Yao Lingling's mind went blank, her heart pounding like thunder.
She instantly remembered.
Last Friday... in senior's office.
That WeChat message from her mom about buying a car that senior unintentionally saw.
He didn't say anything at the time, later the two went to the restroom...
Who would have thought he secretly noted it down and bought it for her?
A massive surge of pleasant surprise mixed with indescribable emotion instantly welled up in her heart, making her eyes redden immediately.
"Hello? Ms. Yao? Are you there?"
"Y-yes, I... I understand."
"Okay, I'll send you the address and what you need to bring. We look forward to your visit."
After hanging up.
The living room instantly exploded.
"Ahhh! Lingling! You struck gold!"
"Oh my god! Senior Tang Song loves you so much! A CLS!"
"And the 350 four-wheel drive version, probably costs seven to eight hundred thousand after all fees?! My god!"
"Is this the legendary... overbearing CEO pampering his wife mode?!"
"I... I... don't talk nonsense, it's not like that!"
Lingling's face was bright red, somewhat flustered.
She wanted to immediately call senior to ask;
such an expensive gift, she really felt a bit afraid to accept.
But thinking it was still early morning in France, and he was definitely resting, she could only suppress the impulse.
All along, Tang Song had never directly said he liked her. She also clearly knew her position in senior's heart wasn't that important, perhaps just a compatible lover and fuck buddy.
But she never expected him to be so attentive, to care so much about her small wish.
This feeling of being cherished made her heart flutter even more than the luxury car itself.
"Oops! The game isn't finished yet!" Lingling suddenly realized, quickly picking up her phone.
However, the "Victory" sound effect had already come from the phone.
The enemy's crystal had been silently pushed down by Gongsun Li.
Back in the room, "Su Yu's April" had already left, her avatar turned gray.
But now, no one had the mind to pay attention to this.
Zhang Jiahong and Li Shimin were like two excited little birds, chirping around Lingling discussing the arrangements for picking up the car in the afternoon, the whole room filled with happy laughter.
Qiuqiu sat there dazed, watching Lingling's flushed face, listening to their discussions about "Mercedes CLS" and "Senior Tang Song," pursing her lips tightly.
So... Lingling and Tang Song... are also in that kind of relationship?
And he specially gave her her favorite car?
Compared to me... he must like Lingling more, right?
Well, Lingling designed Heyi's big hit, helped the company earn so much money, she's his capable assistant.
And me?
To him... I'm probably completely useless, right?
Only causing him trouble, only making him worry, and also sexually frigid...
I have nothing, I am nothing.
Envy, jealousy, grievance, self-loathing...
All sorts of negative emotions surged into her heart like a tide, completely drowning her.
Above her head, the 【Dream Flower Seed】 began to tremble violently.
.......
An unknown amount of time passed.
A sudden scream from Li Shumin broke through Qiuqiu's self-pity.
"Ahhh! Look, look! Su Yu's new Weibo is trending again!"
Cheng Qiuqiu jolted, immediately snapping out of that dark emotional state.
Turning her head, she saw the other three huddled together, heads touching heads, excitedly staring at the phone screen.
"Wow! The lottery is tomorrow? So soon?"
"I feel like whoever wins, even if it's raining knives from the sky, would absolutely not give up the chance to go to Paris! That's celebrating a birthday with Su Yu!"
"Qiuqiu, look! Su Yu posted new photos! Stunningly beautiful!" Lingling handed the phone screen over.
Qiuqiu quickly leaned in, her gaze instantly captured by that photo.
It was a candid photo of Su Yu.
She made a playful peace sign at the camera, her smile bright and radiant, fairy-like beauty, her whole person glowing.
[Su Yu V: "Tomorrow at 8 PM sharp, the 'Birthday Koi' draw begins! Considering the event involves international travel, some lucky fans might be unable to go to Paris due to visa or other reasons. To make up for the regret, I will start a live broadcast across all platforms on the night of December 25th, my birthday, personally call out that 'special fan's' name and ID, and @ their account, sending my most sincere thanks. Be sure to wait for me~"]
Looking at her idol's vibrant smile and warm words.
The dark jealousy and inferiority in Qiuqiu's heart began to melt away like snow under sunlight.
Last time she saw the news about Su Yu "pausing all business activities," she worried so much she couldn't sleep all night.
Now seeing her in such good condition, still actively preparing her birthday party, it seemed nothing was seriously wrong.
She couldn't help but start to fantasize.
If... I could be as outstanding, as radiant as Su Yu, how wonderful that would be.
Then, Tang Song would definitely love me especially, right?
I would become the person he cares about most, is most proud of, right?
"Tsk, it's a pity that 'fake drama queen' quit the game," Li Shumin pouted, complaining with lingering interest, "Otherwise I'd definitely mock her face to face! The real Su Yu is busy going to Paris for her birthday, how would she have spare time to come to Yancheng and play Honor of Kings with us? Truly a drama queen through and through!"
"But speaking of which, if I could really win the draw, that would be great. A romantic date with the goddess, just thinking about it feels amazing!"
"Yeah, absolutely the peak of life!"
Lingling also sighed in agreement, but then immediately slumped dejectedly on the sofa: "Sigh, I heard the number of participants in this draw broke tens of millions! The probability is even lower than winning the five million lottery! No chance, no chance."
Qiuqiu, however, didn't chime in.
She just silently clasped her hands together, gently closed her eyes, like the most devout believer, silently making a wish in her heart:
"Just having a chance is enough... what if? What if that lucky person is me?"
In her heart, Su Yu had long been more than just an idol.
She was the inspiring legend who stepped up to the peak from desperate situations, the spiritual pillar whose songs healed countless lonely nights.
If she could meet her, chat with her, wish her a happy birthday...
She felt she would receive immense redemption.
Perhaps the illness that had troubled her for years could also improve faster.
"Alright, alright! Stop dreaming!" Lingling clapped her hands, breaking the silence, "Let's watch a variety show, I'll go cut a luxurious fruit platter for you!"
"I'll help."
Qiuqiu quickly stood up and followed into the kitchen.
This apartment was shared by the two of them;
as half-owner, she naturally should contribute too.
In the quiet kitchen, the sound of running water "splashed."
Lingling looked at Qiuqiu, who was burying her head seriously washing apples, hesitated for a moment, then turned and gently closed the kitchen door.
Isolating the noise from the living room.
"Qiuqiu."
"Hmm?" Qiuqiu turned off the faucet and turned around puzzled.
Lingling moved closer, lowered her voice, and asked bluntly: "Are you feeling a bit unhappy because Tang Song gave me a car?"
"Clang—"
Qiuqiu's hand jerked violently, the apple in her hand falling into the sink with a crisp sound.
She flusteredly avoided Lingling's gaze, stammering: "N-no... why would I..."
But her obviously flustered tone and instantly reddened ears betrayed her current guilty conscience.
"I actually understand very well." Lingling didn't call her out, leaning against the counter, she sighed, "You also know, Senior Tang Song is a playboy, has many women around him. Those richer than us, more outstanding than us... plenty."
Qiuqiu was stunned, not expecting Lingling to be so blunt.
She opened her mouth, momentarily unsure what to say.
Lingling took a deep breath, a somewhat self-deprecating yet frank smile appearing on her face:
"But what can I do? I just really like him, don't want to leave him. I also know I'm not particularly outstanding, can't accompany him far and high like those female leads, and definitely can't have him all to myself. That's why I'm so greedy, wanting to get as much care as possible from him, some tangible special preference."
She looked at Qiuqiu, her gaze sincere: "I think... you probably have this kind of unease and longing in your heart too, right?"
Qiuqiu stared at her stunned.
Lingling's words were like a knife, cutting open the most hidden corner of her heart.
"So." Lingling reached out, held Qiuqiu's cold, damp hand, and said seriously, "We're actually not rivals at all. In this circle, we're at most two equally insecure little nobodies, huddling together for warmth."
"Lingling.."
"Alright, alright! I told you this because I was afraid you'd misunderstand me, create distance between us later. I'm just like this, say what I mean, never hide or hold back. I genuinely want to be friends with you."
"I... I know." Qiuqiu bit her lip, her eyes slightly red, "Thank you, Lingling."
This was the first time she felt such warm and straightforward friendship.
The big rock that had been pressing on her heart seemed to have been suddenly lifted, her breathing became much smoother.
Seeing the atmosphere getting a bit heavy.
Lingling blinked, instantly returning to her giggly nature.
She wrapped an arm around Qiuqiu's slender waist, smirking mischievously as she teased: "Speaking of which, if the two of us could 'combine,' we'd be absolutely invincible!"
She extended her sinful hand, pointed at Qiuqiu's chest, then pointed at her own butt.
"Our combined configuration would definitely have top-tier competitiveness! Hehehe, guaranteed to enchant him completely!"
"Ah! What nonsense are you saying!" Qiuqiu's face instantly turned bright red, pushing her away embarrassed and annoyed, "Pervert."
"Hahahaha!"
The two became a chaotic mess in the small kitchen.
The previous distance and awkwardness completely vanished amidst these shameless jokes.
Returning to the living room, turning on the TV, screen mirroring.
The four girls snuggled together again, eating fruit and snacks, watching variety shows.
The topic still couldn't leave Su Yu and the Mercedes CLS.
Excitedly discussing what to wear to meet their idol if they got chosen, what makeup to do.
Qiuqiu sat cross-legged on the sofa, watching the carefree, laughing Lingling beside her.
A thought grew wildly in her heart like weeds.
She definitely couldn't be as peerlessly elegant as her idol Su Yu.
If she wanted to get more love from Tang Song.
Perhaps she could use other special ways?
As long as she could get his love, even if... it's something absurd, any sacrifice would be worth it, right?
Once this hidden and dark psychology appeared, it became difficult to suppress.
It coiled around her heart like a cold snake, making her feel somewhat unsettled, her cheeks slightly flushed with inexplicable excitement.
.....
Time ticked by, the happy laughter in the living room gradually thinned.
Li Shumin sat up from the sofa, glanced at the wall clock, and reminded: "Lingling, it's almost eleven, shouldn't that drama queen be arriving soon?"
"Ah! Almost forgot!" Lingling slapped her forehead, quickly snapping back to reality.
Because the matter of senior giving her a car was so overwhelming, she had been immersed in joy, forgetting all about this.
She picked up her phone to check the time.
10:55.
"I'll send her a voice call to ask."
Lingling said, opening WeChat, found the chat box for 【Su Yu's April】.
"Mmhm! Put it on speaker!" Zhang Jiahong had a look of watching a good show, "Let's hear her voice! Su Yu's voice is so distinctive, she'll be exposed as soon as she speaks."
"Beep~~ Boop~~"
The voice call invitation rang a few times, then abruptly stopped.
The other party rejected the call.
"Tsk—!" Li Shumin let out a long hiss, with an "I knew it" expression, "See? I told you! She was definitely messing with us! Coming to Yancheng, sending CDs, all just talk! When it comes to actually meeting, instantly exposed!"
Zhang Jiahong also nodded: "After meeting face-to-face, the bragging would definitely be exposed. Probably hiding behind the screen laughing at us for being fools right now."
Yao Lingling covered her mouth and laughed: "To be honest, I'd really like to meet her, feels like this person is particularly funny and interesting."
She and 【Su Yu's April】 were somewhat cyber rivals.
There was a faint sense of competitive awareness.
However, meeting in real life, she wasn't actually worried.
Her looks weren't the stunningly beautiful type at first glance, but she was fresh and clean, particularly pleasant to look at.
Most importantly, she had a hip measurement exceeding one hundred.
This was a big killer that even Senior Tang Song couldn't get enough of.
And she had Qiuqiu, known as the "little Su Yu," by her side.
Once they met, she was absolutely confident she could steadily suppress that keyboard warrior.
Qiuqiu nearby also smiled slightly, but there was still some disappointment in her eyes.
She and 【Su Yu's April】 shared common hobbies and an idol, actually chatted quite happily online.
Meeting in real life would have been something she looked forward to.
Right at that moment.
"Knock, knock, knock—"
A series of clear, rhythmic knocking sounds suddenly interrupted the discussion in the living room.
"Who is it?" Lingling instinctively shouted.
Outside the door was quiet, no one answered.
"Knock, knock, knock."
The knocking sounded again, neither hurried nor slow, but carrying an inexplicable sense of pressure.
The atmosphere in the living room instantly became somewhat tense.
Four girls living alone, facing this unknown situation, instinctively became alert.
Lingling furrowed her brows, signaled everyone to be quiet, tiptoed to the door, leaned close to the peephole to look outside.
In her field of view, she only saw a black baseball cap pulled very low, the wide brim completely covering the visitor's face, only vaguely visible a few strands of hanging hair.
Looked... very mysterious, even a bit eerie.
Lingling's heart leaped into her throat, her hand tightly gripping the door handle, not daring to open it.
Instead, she raised her voice and asked vigilantly: "Who is it? Looking for whom?"
Li Shumin and the other two behind her also sensed something wrong, one after another put down their snacks and gathered around.
Qiuqiu even casually picked up a broom as a weapon, gripping it tightly in her hand.
A tense small formation formed inside the room.
"Who is it, really?"
Outside the door was silent for a moment.
A clear, magnetic, uniquely ear-tingling voice.
Came through the thick security door:
"It's me, Su Yu."
The voice wasn't loud, but seemed to carry some kind of magic.
Instantly making everyone inside the room breathe rapidly.
Qiuqiu's full chest began to heave violently, her previously nervous expression instantly turning stunned.
As a die-hard fan, this voice had played on loop countless times in her earphones, accompanying her through countless difficult nights.
So similar... no, this is Su Yu's voice!
Exactly the same!
Even the characteristic laziness in the ending tone was exactly the same.
"This—!" Li Shumin's eyelids twitched wildly, her fingers trembling, "Is this Lingling's netizen? Am... am I hallucinating?!"
Lingling was also stunned, subconsciously asking: "Su... Su Yu?!"
"Mm." The person outside seemed to chuckle lightly, her tone carrying a hint of teasing, "Didn't we agree on 11:30? Lingling, Qiuqiu."
"Buzz—"
It felt like all four of their brains were simultaneously struck hard.
Lingling's hand trembling, she slowly pressed down the door handle and pushed the door open.
The bright indoor light seeped into the dim hallway.
A scene they would never forget in their lives crashed into their view without warning.
Right at the doorway stood a woman wearing a black baseball cap and oversized sunglasses, tall and slender, with extraordinary presence.
Even with her face unclear, those impossibly long legs encased in skinny jeans, and the cold, aloof aura she exuded that kept people at a distance, were already enough to make breathing difficult.
Behind her and on both sides stood four other women.
One was dressed like a secretary, carrying a briefcase.
The other three wore matching black suits, with earpieces, clearly professional bodyguards who didn't look easy to mess with.
The sight before them made their brains completely crash, losing the ability to think.
Then, the woman raised her hand, slowly took off her sunglasses.
Like a movie scene in slow motion.
That stunningly beautiful face that had appeared on countless billboards, screens, and fashion magazine covers was now completely exposed before them, without any cover.
Su Yu!
That superstar who should only appear at Paris Fashion Week or top award ceremonies.
Was actually standing at the doorway of their ordinary rental apartment right now.
"Clatter—"
The broom Qiuqiu was holding for self-defense slipped from her hand, hitting the floor heavily.
Her mouth hung open, dumbfounded, as if her soul had left her body.
Li Shumin seemed to have had her bones removed, her legs went weak, she directly collapsed sitting on the entrance mat, her hand trembling as she pointed at the other party, her throat only able to emit a "heh" sound.
Lingling's eyes were wide as saucers, her eyeballs almost popping out.
"Su... Su... Su..."
(Shocked expression)!!
Looking at these overreacting young girls, a charming smile rippled in Su Yu's beautiful amber eyes.
"Aren't you going to invite me in?"
Her voice was soft and playful, instantly breaking the deathly silence.
Lingling subconsciously stepped back, making way, her face as red as a ripe tomato.
"Tap, tap, tap—"
Hard-soled leather boots made crisp sounds on the floor.
Su Yu walked in with graceful steps.
Her private assistant Cheng Xiaoxi followed her in, while the bodyguards consciously turned their backs and stood guard outside, closing the door.
In the living room, only Su Yu's footsteps could be heard in the quiet.
The small living room, because of her arrival, seemed to be coated with a dazzling halo, even the air became expensive.
The four girls stood near the entrance, no one daring to speak, just staring dumbly.
Especially Qiuqiu, her whole person seemed stupid, her gaze following Su Yu's figure, not daring to look away for a moment.
Cheng Xiaoxi stopped, opened her briefcase, and took out a stack of beautifully packaged CDs.
Su Yu casually picked up one, stepped over to Li Shumin who was still sitting on the floor, bent down, and handed one to her: "You're the support Minmin from earlier, right? This is the autographed 10th anniversary debut commemorative edition CD you wanted."
Li Shumin tremblingly received the CD she had been dreaming of. Looking at the flamboyant personal signature on the cover, tears instantly streamed down her face.
"Th-thank you..."
"You're welcome."
Su Yu also gave one to Zhang Jiahong, then came before Yao Lingling.
Proactively extended her hand, "Hello, Lingling, we finally meet. The shell jacket you designed is really beautiful, the cut is great, I like it very much."
Yao Lingling was stunned for a moment, tremblingly held her warm and smooth jade-like hand, "Th-that's my honor, I... I really like you..."
She stammered, feeling the delicate texture transmitted through her palm.
Even now, her mind was still a complete mess, absurd and unreal.
Then, Su Yu stepped in front of Cheng Qiuqiu.
The distance between the two was extremely close.
Su Yu's gaze swept over her, carrying a hint of ambiguous meaning, as if examining a piece of art she was already familiar with.
"Su, Su Yu!" Qiuqiu suddenly spoke, her voice a bit loud, "I... I..."
As she spoke, she suddenly, as if possessed, reached out and grabbed Su Yu's arm.
The force was somewhat strong.
Her face was flushed, her eyes dazed and urgent, as if wanting to confirm through this real touch whether the idol she had been daydreaming about was really here, or just a dream she would wake from at any moment.
The real, warm sensation transmitted through the fabric.
Her body began to tremble violently.
"It's really you... Su Yu! Su Yu!"
Su Yu didn't get angry at her offense, gently withdrew her arm from Qiuqiu's tight grip, but didn't step back. Instead, she took a small step forward.
The distance between them was extremely close, so close that Qiuqiu could even see the panicked, flustered reflection of herself in Su Yu's amber pupils.
"Hello, Qiuqiu." Her voice was soft, yet seemed to have magic power, easily penetrating Qiuqiu's mind, "Actually, I've wanted to meet you for a long time."
Qiuqiu's throat moved dryly, her voice trembling: "You... you know me?"
"Of course." Su Yu tilted her head slightly, those amber eyes narrowing slightly, her posture elegant like a painting, "Let me think... The first time I noticed you was probably at the Modu Film Festival fan support meeting. Back then, I saw a photo of you and him on the forum."
"......"
"The second time was even more interesting. He came to Modu to visit me on set, specifically asked me for an autographed photo, and had me write a message for you—"
As she spoke, Su Yu raised her other hand and tidied the messy strands of hair near Qiuqiu's ear.
"Qiuqiu should be like a camellia, blooming brightly red even in winter."
Feeling Su Yu's warm fingers brush past her ear, and hearing that familiar message.
Qiuqiu murmured in disbelief: "You... you and Tang Song... have known each other for a long time.."
"Yes, is it that surprising?"
As the name "Tang Song" was mentioned, the hearts of the other three in the living room jumped heavily.
Lingling also finally snapped back to reality, her gaze shifting back and forth between Su Yu and Qiuqiu, stammering: "You.. how do you and Senior Tang Song he...."
Su Yu looked back, her eyes flowing, smiling as she looked at her: "Lingling, you should know. I'm an early loyal fan of April, we often interact on Xiaohongshu."
"R-really... a fan?!" Lingling felt her tongue was tied in knots.
"Mm, yes." Su Yu naturally nodded, even playfully blinked, "I'm his die-hard fan."
Lingling's brain seemed to overload.
An online drama queen they'd joked about for a long time, a cyber rival, senior's crazy fan....
Suddenly transformed into the real top-tier diva Su Yu?!
What kind of experience was this?
Probably similar to encountering aliens, her entire worldview was about to shatter!
The others had similar reactions.
Zhang Jiahong and Li Shumin, as old fans from the "listening to advice transformation" period, naturally knew about the existence of the ID 【Su Yu's April】.
But this... this was simply unbelievable!
A current top diva superstar is actually Tang Song's die-hard fan?
This was simply a fantasy!
Their expressions went from shock, to doubt, to beginning to question their existence.
Qiuqiu's breathing became faster and faster, her whole person seemed about to faint.
Seeing their reactions.
Su Yu finally couldn't hold back anymore, a light laugh escaped her lips.
Her shoulders trembled slightly, like snow piled on branches, pure and gorgeous, beyond compare.
After a moment, she raised her hand, placed her slender index finger gently against her moist lips, making a "shh" gesture.
Her eyes flowing, carrying a bit of cunning and intimacy:
"Actually, he's my non-celebrity boyfriend."
"A boyfriend who wants to transform himself online, wants to start a clothing brand business. As his girlfriend, of course I have to fully support him. Don't you think so?"
The moment her words fell, it seemed like an invisible shockwave swept through the living room.
Their worldviews completely collapsed.
