APCF -Chapter 13 (2)

He quickly tapped on the Weibo post that was being forwarded, it was a small clip released by the official Weibo of《Budget Travel》.

— Let’s Budget Travel Together! Season 4 Official Weibo: #Let’s Budget Travel Together! Season 4# We never fathomed that the programme that ran safely for 3 seasons would actually start off on the wrong foot in the fourth season. In the first episode, we have already sacrificed an excellent cameraman @Qi Xingchen.
[Video]

Opening the video, one would see the Qi Xingchen on the streets of Denmark pedalling with wheels on fire, while the cameraman carried the video camera on his shoulder, doing his very best to ride the small electric “donkey”. His entire being seemed to have transcended; he looked small, weak, pitiful, and helpless.
It was as if he was asking God: Who the f*ck am I? Where the f*ck am I? Why the f*ck do I have to suffer like this?

Below were more than 30,000 replies, as well as more than 20,000 forwards. As far as the eye could see, the entire screen was filled with【HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA】.

Furthermore, under the heat generated by this video, the topic #Let’s Budget Travel Together! Season 4# also soared to second place in the new topic ranking list.

Opening hot search, “The guest who tired the cameraman to death Qi Xingchen” had already reached the upper half rungs of the hot search list and even maintained the trend of rising continuously under the non-stop forwarding and comments.

With the extra support by the double rankings on the topic list and the hot search list, the follower count of his main account had climbed directly to 500,000.

Without question, this was a topic that the programme team had hyped themselves. Qi Xingchen did not expect such a good thing to fall into his lap. He switched back to WeChat, intending to thank the director verbally first, and wait till they reach the city before buying the director a gift.

The rest of the night had been quiet. However, on the second day, Qi Xingchen was awoken by Zhang Yunfei’s excited voice.

“Xingxing, get up quickly, you got onto the hot search list!”

“Ge, didn’t you see Weibo yesterday?” Qi Xingchen rubbed his eyes vigorously, his single eyelids almost turning into double eyelids from his rubbing, “I got onto it yesterday.”

Zhang Yunfei swiftly snatched away his pillow, “How is that the same thing? Get up quickly.”

Qi Xingchen pondered, how could it be any different? At most, it would have fallen down the list.
After all, other than big events that were in the midst of brewing, there were very few hot searches that remained on the list overnight.

He sat up and unhurriedly went to change and wash up — this time not forgetting to cover the camera, then opened up Weibo.

Thud, the towel in his hand fell to the ground.

H-h-he…… actually climbed to the fourth place on the hot search list!!!

Other than stars with a small bit of fame, few small fries could get to this position. And if there was no forwarding by the netizens, it would certainly not be rooted to the fourth place like a nail hammered in.

He had confidence in his obscurity, hence he hid in the bathroom, immediately calling Qi Yuji.

“Ying ying ying, Xingxing,” Qi Yuji accepted the call within a second, “Did you finally remember your jiejie?”

Qi Xingchen was distracted for a bit by this: “Didn’t I just leave for two days?”

“But I always feel like I haven’t seen you in a long, long time!”

Qi Xingchen had no brothers or sisters, only briefly having parents, and thus could not understand such feelings. He said perfunctorily: “……Then I’ll call you every day from now on.”

Qi Yuji gave a cheerful cry, only then changing her tone from miserable to normal.

Qi Xingchen tried, but still felt he was unable to call out “jiejie”, and vaguely bypassed it: “Oh, by the way, were you the one who bought the hot search and water troops?”

“It wasn’t me, it was da ge! Don’t blame me this time around!”

It was indeed was done by the original owner’s family, isn’t it the same no matter who bought it? Qi Xingchen had no words for a moment, “It’s too expensive to buy a hot search in its early stages, also there were too many water troops purchased for forwarding. Tell da ge to not buy them in the future.”

“Tell him yourself, I can’t convince him,” Qi Yuji paused, “Besides, it’s not as if it was useless. See it for yourself, your follower count is already going to exceed a million.”

Qi Xingchen went to take a look; yesterday night, the follower count had increased again by almost twofold, currently standing at 920,000.

“Just a bit more and you would instantly pass the one million milestone,” Qi Yuji encouraged, “Xingxing, your followers are about to be more than jiejie‘s!”

Ever since graduating from university, Qi Yuji had no job, occasionally accepting private freelance design jobs. Whenever she was bored, she liked to go to Weibo to upload photos and updates about her life. Because her looks were beautiful, plus the fact that many people found the socialite life fascinating, she accumulated a lot of fans.

Qi Xingchen perfunctorily replied Qi Yuji a few more times, though before hanging up, Qi Yuji said in a small voice: “Xingxing, Dad and da ge miss you a lot, could you take a photo of your surrounding environment for them to see?”

Listening to Qi Yuji’s extremely cautious tone, some sadness bubbled up in Qi Xingchen’s heart. The original owner was really blessed with a fortunate life but failed to appreciate it, if this family had been given to him……

Forget about it, don’t think about it anymore. All of this was not his anyways. Qi Xingchen hung up the phone and took a picture of the villa.

Following immediately, his phone vibrated once, Bo: 【I have accepted your friend request, we can start chatting now】
