"Let me tell you, you two should get engaged first, and then, get married. This process still needs to be followed. Fu Shan will be down soon, and I'll talk to him."
In the Xu family's living room, Xu's mother, Li Lilin, was discussing the marriage arrangements between Fu Shan and Xu Yifei with Xu Yifei, and they were happily discussing.
Just then, the door of the Xu family's small Western-style building was knocked.
Jiang Jinsong strode in urgently, and as soon as he saw Xu Yifei, he hurried over, his face anxious.
"Jinsong, why are you here? And so early? Perfect! I have good news to tell you. Fu Shan proposed to Yifei. Yifei has already agreed. These two children are finally going to get married this time. Aren't you happy for them? I'm planning to have these two children get engaged first and then married, what do you think?"
Seeing the sudden appearance of Jiang Jinsong, Li Lilin was stunned, but she still couldn't suppress her joy, and waved to Jiang Jinsong, laughing repeatedly.
At this moment, she was extremely happy, and seeing her old friend, she couldn't wait to share her joy with him.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Jinsong didn't look very happy when he heard this, he just nodded perfunctorily to Li Lilin, and then quickly came to Xu Yifei, his face very serious, and said:
"Yifei, have you seen today's trending topics? And... your Weibo."
"Huh? No, I haven't. Uncle Jiang, why do you ask?"
Hearing this, Fu Yihan, who had been immersed in happiness, was clearly taken aback. She raised an eyebrow in confusion, looking at Jiang Jinsong.
What's wrong with Uncle Jiang? Coming over early in the morning just to ask her this? But, judging by Uncle Jiang's serious expression, could something have happened?
Xu Yifei was thoughtful, with a hint of a guess in her heart.
And as it turned out, her guess was correct.
"It seems you haven't seen the trending topics or the state of your Weibo, Yifei. Sigh, you should take a look."
Hearing Xu Yifei's words, Jiang Jinsong's expression became even more serious and anxious. He immediately handed his phone to Xu Yifei.
"Uncle Jiang, what is this…"
Xu Yifei took the phone with a doubtful expression, and began to scroll through it as Jiang Jinsong indicated.
The next second, Xu Yifei was completely stunned:
#National Goddess Dating a Migrant Worker# #This Year's Strongest Soft Rice King is Born# #Deep Dive into This Year's Strongest Soft Rice King - Fu Shan#
The top three most eye-catching positions on the trending list were these titles, each followed by a large "Hot" icon.
Seeing these three trending topics, Xu Yifei couldn't help but furrow her brows.
Seeing her reaction, Jiang Jinsong then said with a serious expression: "Yifei, your relationship with Fu Shan has been exposed. Someone took intimate photos of you and Fu Shan holding hands and posted them online. Someone deliberately stirred up the situation online, and even dug up Fu Shan's identity and background."
"Many netizens, and your fans, Yifei, have exploded upon hearing this news. Not only on the trending list, but also your Weibo is a mess right now!"
Hearing this, Xu Yifei immediately logged into her Weibo and, sure enough, saw the screen filled with requests for explanations:
"@Xu Yifei: Goddess Xu, come out and explain! Why are you dating Fu Shan, that migrant worker?"
"That's right! Goddess Xu, please explain! Come out and explain quickly. The dignified National Goddess can't possibly have such poor taste. She actually fell for a migrant worker and let him freeload at her house. Goddess Xu, are you stupid?"
"Wuwu, National Goddess Xu, come out and clarify quickly, say that you have nothing to do with this guy named Fu Shan. These photos are photoshopped! Definitely photoshopped! How could our National Goddess possibly like a migrant worker? And he's a migrant worker who dropped out of junior high!"
"Xu Yifei, are you crazy? Wake up! You actually let this guy Fu Shan eat your food, live in your house, and use your things, letting him eat your soft rice? Quickly kick Fu Shan, this year's strongest Soft Rice King, out of the house! Hurry up!"
Seeing these comments under her Weibo, Xu Yifei frowned again:
"Uncle Jiang, what's going on? Why are these people all saying that Fu Shan is eating my soft rice? And they're also saying he's the strongest Soft Rice King of the year?"
She'd wanted to ask this question when she saw those trending topics earlier.
Whether they said Fu Shan was a migrant worker or that he dropped out of junior high,
she could understand.
After all, Fu Shan had indeed been a migrant worker before. He had also, due to his family's poverty, shouldered the pressure of life and his family at a young age, dropping out of school to work and support them.
But, what was this about a Soft Rice King?
And what was this "Best Soft Rice King of the Year" all about?
It would have been fine if Xu Yifei hadn't brought it up, but when she did, Jiang Jinsong was also speechless:
"Sigh, Yifei, don't mention it! I don't know which scumbag did it, but they not only dug up Fu Shan's identity and background, but also revealed that Fu Shan is now living in your home, Yifei. Then, the netizens and fans started to imagine, believing that Fu Shan must be living off you, spending your money, and being supported by you. He's just a freeloader. And then... ahem..."
At this point, Jiang Jinsong gave a light cough. When he spoke again, there was a hint of helplessness and a hint of amusement in his words:
"Yifei, you know. You're talented and beautiful, have a wealthy family background, and are a well-known female celebrity, a National Goddess. Netizens and fans unanimously believe that Fu Shan is amazing for being able to eat your soft rice, the National Goddess's. So, they gave Fu Shan the title of Soft Rice King."
Saying this, Jiang Jinsong spread his hands helplessly:
"And, it's the strongest Soft Rice King of the year. Because he can eat your soft rice, Yifei."
Xu Yifei: "...?!?!"
What kind of ridiculous theory is this?
What in the world is all this?
Xu Yifei couldn't help but twitch her lips.
"These netizens and fans… aren't their imaginations a bit too rich? Yes! Fu Shan is currently living here with me, but that doesn't mean Fu Shan is eating my food, using my things, and relying on me, right? That he's a Soft Rice King? And they even came up with 'Annual Strongest Soft Rice King?!' I can't believe they thought of that!"
Xu Yifei huffed, both angry and amused, and couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"Exactly," Jiang Jinsong said with a wry smile, but his expression grew increasingly serious.
"The key thing is, someone is using this to make a big deal out of it, deliberately misleading netizens and fans. Yifei, you have no idea how serious this has become. It's a huge uproar online, and that's bad enough. But Fu Shan is really suffering. The situation is serious! He's being cyberbullied across the entire internet!"
