YM778.TV Chapter 199 - 199: Video
Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
There were a lot of discussions on the Internet, but such matters would usually die down after a period of time.
In the afternoon, Gu Yuwu forwarded a video to Lin Xiaowan. It was not very long; only about 20 seconds. The video had been forwarded and commented on more than 10,000 times.
[Gu Yuwu: Hey, hey, this is the both of you, right? F*ck, this is so romantic!]
Lin Xiaowan did not even need to watch the video to know that it was indeed her and Huo Zheng. The cover of the video showed them on the small balcony last night, watching the fireworks.
Lin Xiaowan clicked on the name of the person who had posted the video. It was a girl who was at the amusement park yesterday. Along with the video, the girl posted, ‘I suspect this couple is the culprit behind yesterday’s drone and fireworks show. I was recording the fireworks, but unexpectedly, I caught the couple on camera. The woman tilted her head and said something before the man, who was hugging her, went down on one knee and kissed the back of her hand!]
Many locals in Shengjing also commented on the video.
[Netizen #1: The castle is usually not open to the public. You’re right. The drone and fireworks show likely has something to do with them! I guess the man was proposing to the woman yesterday, right?]
One thing that confused the netizens was the drone show. Why were there two children three years ago, but the children disappeared three years later? There were many people who wondered if it was a mistake.
The girl muted the original sound of the video and picked a song to go with it. Initially, fireworks could be seen in the sky, but when the camera panned to the castle, Lin Xiaowan could be seen talking to Huo Zheng on the balcony. Shortly after that, Huo Zheng could be seen getting down on his knees. Based on how shaky the video was, it could be seen that the person who was taking the video was very excited. However, due to how shaky the video was, everyone had to zoom in to have a good look.
Lin Xiaowan did not expect to be caught on camera. However, she had to admit that they looked really good. Beneath the fireworks, there were warm lights. Two people stood on the balcony, surrounded by flowers and their petals. Accompanied by the music, the atmosphere looked very good and romantic.
Lin Xiaowan liked and downloaded the video before sending a message to Gu Yuwu.
[Lin Xiaowan: Wow, the video looks really good!]
When Lin Xiaowan showed the video to Huo Zheng, he said, “I didn’t think about this. I should have hired someone to take videos of us. With that, we can look back on this memory…”
Lin Xiaowan did not think much about this. She waved her phone and said, “It’s fine. We have this video.”
The video was filmed from quite a distance away. Even if people zoomed, under the cover of the night and dazzling lights, it was difficult to see their appearances clearly. No one would recognize them unless they were familiar with the couple. For this reason, Lin Xiaowan was not worried about being discovered.
However, reality proved that she had underestimated the observation skills of the netizens.
When Lin Xiaowan woke up from her afternoon nap, she was still thinking about the video. She was inspired to paint the scene.
At this point, she had posted many cartoon paintings on her Speaker account, all based on her daily life with Huo Zheng. Huo Zheng was the big bad wolf while she was the little rabbit. Sometimes when Huo Zheng did things she did not like, she would draw the rabbit teaching the wolf a lesson.
She got her tools ready before she logged into Speaker. However, the moment she logged in, she discovered that her identity had already been exposed. Many people left comments on her page, asking if the woman standing on the balcony in the video was her. There were also many people who tagged in the comment section of the video.
Lin Xiaowan hurriedly sent a message to Gu Yuwu.
[Lin Xiaowan: What’s going on? What’s going on? Why did so many tag me in the comment section? What should I say? It’s not appropriate for me to deny it, right? Should I just honestly admit it? However, that’s embarrassing…]
Gu Yuwu laughed when she saw Lin Xiaowan’s message.
[Gu Yuwu: Why should you deny it? It’s not like it’s something shameful. Moreover, what’s so strange about people recognizing you? It’s not the first time you appeared on the Internet.]
[Gu Yuwu: Don’t worry. This won’t affect you in real life. It’s not like you’re a celebrity. Take me for example. When we go out, have you ever seen people coming up to me?]
[Lin Xiaowan: That’s true…]
[Gu Yuwu: In any case, it’s up to you. Do whatever you want. The netizens’ enthusiasm comes and goes very quickly anyway. In fewer than three days, most people will move on to another matter.]
[Gu Yuwu: You should speak to your President Huo. I think he really wants to announce the success of his proposal in a high-profile manner.]
Huo Zheng did not go to the company today. He had gone to the study for an online meeting after napping with Lin Xiaowan. It was not over yet so Lin Xiaowan did not plan to disturb him over such a small matter.
With that, Lin Xiaowan watched the video again.
She recalled that when she had just been reborn, Huo Zheng had brought a ring out and said that he wanted to marry her. At that time, she was sad and disappointed in him; she wanted to avoid making the same mistake again. However, in the end, she still agreed to marry him in this life.
At this time, she suddenly remembered Huo Zheng’s recent sneaky behavior. She could not sit still anymore and lost her mood to draw. She rose to her feet immediately and went to the study to look for him. When she reached the door of the study, she suddenly calmed down. She paced back and forth, unable to decide if she should go in or not.
The soundproofing of the house was very good. It was completely impossible to hear what was going on in the study.
Lin Xiaowan still had not made up her mind when the door suddenly opened.
As soon as Huo Zheng opened the door, he saw Lin Xiaowan’s bare feet. She was biting her nails at this moment. He raised an eyebrow and carried her as he said in a deep voice, “You forgot your house slippers again.”
Lin Xiaowan was already used to his behavior. She wrapped her arms around his neck and asked, “Are you done with your meeting?”
“Yes. Why were you standing in front of the study?”
Lin Xiaowan had almost forgotten that she had come to aggressively question him. When she heard his words, she recalled the urgent matter. She looked at him solemnly and asked, “I’m here to question you! You better tell me the truth!”
“You came to question me?” Huo Zheng asked as he brought her to put on her slippers.
Lin Xiaowan said, “Speak. What shameful things were you doing sneakily recently?”
Huo Zheng paused for a moment. Thinking that there was no need to hide the matter from her now, he said, both helpless and amused, “I was planning the proposal. In order to surprise you, 1 naturally had to hide things from you.”
In fact, Lin Xiaowan already had a vague guess about this. However, she still had questions. She said, “Previously, I saw you and Assistant Song looking at something. Why did you immediately put it away as soon as you saw me?”
Huo Zheng hesitated for a moment before he answered truthfully, “1 was just looking at some gemstones. I bought a few at different auctions. Apart from the ring, 1 also wanted to make you a set of jewelry.. You can wear them during our wedding…”
