Chapter 104: Blowing Up the Entire Little Life!
Chapter 104: Blowing Up the Entire Little Life!
The winter sun streamed through the glass window into the bedroom, landing on the soft bed, making it so warm that it made you want to stay lazy.
Yifei woke up with a soft moan, looked around, and realized that she was actually in her rented room in Zhi Park.
"How did you get here?"
Shibuya and Shiba Park are not far apart, but they are still about seven or eight kilometers apart.
The subway should have stopped running much earlier last night, since it was so late.
The last image I remember is—I was on the back of a big log?
"Ah!!!" Yifei was suddenly startled and sat up to check her surroundings.
"Don't look, you're alright!"
Upon hearing Liu's mother's voice, Yifei looked towards the door.
Liu Xiaoli was wiping her hands with a towel, her apron still on.
Seeing her daughter looking over, Liu's mother pouted, "You're awake? Get up quickly, you came back so late last night. I made you some barley and red bean porridge and steamed some xiaolongbao. I know you don't like Japanese food in Japan, so I specially made Chinese food."
"Hehe, Mom's the best!"
Yifei was delighted. She quickly got out of bed and dressed.
"Mwah!" He immediately gave Liu's mother a kiss, leaving her face covered in saliva.
"Get down right now! Do you think it's the morning sun?"
"Hmph!" Yifei hugged Liu's mother's neck affectionately. "Mom, you're so tsundere. You clearly care about me and Da Mutou. You're the best mom in the world, but you always act so fierce."
"Do you think I wanted this?!"
Liu's mother stood at the top of the stairs, using her feet to support Yifei's weight.
She glanced downstairs to make sure Xiang Nan wasn't watching, then leaned close to Yi Fei's ear and whispered, "I have to keep a close eye on you, or he'll eat you alive. How can I not be fierce?"
"?I----"
Yifei blushed, reluctantly let go of her mother, and dared not say another word.
"Let's go, let's go eat."
When I arrived at the dining table, Big Wood was already sitting there, holding a document and flipping through it.
"Is something the matter?"
Xiang Nan looked up, and Yi Fei naturally sat down opposite him.
At 11:30, Yifei, who had just gotten up, looked languid. Her face, without any makeup, was rosy and tender, making people want to pinch it.
"It's alright."
Just then, Liu's mother served up barley porridge and steamed buns.
Xiang Nan got up to hand her a bowl of porridge, adding, "Some domestic matters, didn't CCTV-8 buy our 'Chinese Paladin' series? Since the previous interview wasn't broadcast, they had us record a promotional vlog here."
"Oh, that's easy!" Yifei took the hot porridge and pointed to the lawn outside. "It'll be fine outside."
"Are you going to put on makeup?" Liu's mother also sat down with a bowl of porridge.
For makeup, you'll need to contact the professional team at Red Starwood, who live not far from the Xing Nanfei team.
Xiang Nan's Xing Nanfei team was unlike the later Jiahang Media, which could leave its artists in the Middle East.
Chen Yaochuan and his group really know how to enjoy themselves. When Xiang Nan plays, they play; when Xiang Nan rests, they rest.
"No makeup." Yifei took a small sip of porridge, then her eyes lit up. "I can do my own makeup. Mom, this is your cooking!"
Yifei gave a thumbs up.
"Hehehe—" Mother Liu smiled gently, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes appearing much more kind. "Where's Xiao Nan?"
She then turned to look at Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan paused in his porridge-serving motion, awkwardly frozen on the spot. "Delicious!"
He had three steamed buns stuffed in his mouth!
"Pfft—hehehe—" Yifei almost spat out the porridge in her mouth from laughing.
Liu's mother glared at her daughter, then turned to look at Xiang Nan gently: "Xiao Nan, eat slowly. If you like it, Auntie will cook a few more meals for you. Take your time, okay?"
Yifei: ————
Seriously? Mom, am I not her biological child?
During this meal, all three of them felt a sense of belonging: like a family of three!
After finishing breakfast, Liu Xiaoli picked up her bowl and chopsticks and walked towards the kitchen. Xiang Nanye stood up and followed her, taking the plate from her hand.
After a brief exchange of polite refusals in the kitchen, Liu Xiaoli finally prevailed, wiping the water off her hands and shooing Xiang Nan out.
Yifei crossed her legs and leaned back on the living room sofa, glancing sideways at Xiang Nan: "Washing dishes is Mom's hobby, so don't try to take it from her."
Xiang Nan shivered, thinking to himself, why didn't you say that to my face?
Seeing that everything was ready, Xiang Nan took two steps to the sofa, took Liu Yifei's hand and said, "Let's go sit on the lawn for a while. The sun is shining outside. We can do the vlog whenever we want. Let's rest first."
"Still resting?" Yifei stood up with his help, glanced at the weather outside, and suddenly didn't want to go out anymore.
"Let's go!"
Xiang Nan didn't care about anything else and led her outside.
The lawn outside the gate was small but neatly trimmed, with a few cherry blossom trees planted around it, their branches bare, which was a bit of an eyesore.
The two lay down on the deck chairs, and Xiang Nan casually set up a parasol for Yi Fei.
"By the way," Liu Yifei suddenly sat up straight, her brows furrowing slightly, "what happened after last night? How did our concert go? Didn't you want to use this opportunity to promote your new album?"
Xiang Nan smiled, took his phone out of his pocket, and handed it over. "See for yourself, I already had a message."

Liu Yifei took it with a puzzled look. The screen showed the interface of Japanese social media, and their name appeared in four of the top ten trending topics.
#Xiang Nan and Liu Yifei to perform together at Ayumi Hamasaki's concert#
#Liu Yifei's performance on stage in Japan#
#Xiang Nan and Liu Yifei's duet is so sweet#
She clicked on the topic, which was full of fan-taken clips and live videos from the concert, as well as high-definition screenshots of her singing.
Comments flooded in quickly, mostly expressing amazement from Japanese netizens, primarily focusing on the "looks" and the "song".
"How come so many people are watching?" A slight smile appeared on her lips, though it still peeked out from the corners of her eyes, since eighty percent of the viewers were praising her.
Xiang Nan ruffled her hair, raised an eyebrow, and began to analyze for her with an air of seriousness: "Last night, Ayumi Hamasaki's concert accounted for 20%, the songs for 30%, and the remaining 50% was her looks! Looks are everything, it's hard not to be a hit."
"Something's not right!"

Suddenly, Yifei's fingers paused, and her fingertips trembled slightly.
The three trending topics mentioned earlier aren't the key; the key is the one at the very top!
#The Second Miracle from China! "Idol" Overtakes "Passion" Overnight!#
Yifei quickly clicked on it and took a closer look.
It turns out that as soon as the concert ended last night, Xing Nanfei's team uploaded the concert clips and the songs they had produced to the internet overnight. After a night of noise and promotion, they have already made it onto the Oricon charts this morning.
At this time, Liu Yifei's "Idol" was prominently displayed at number fourteen on the Oricon chart, while Utada Hikaru's new single "Passion" was pushed down to number fifteen.
Yifei's red lips parted slightly, her eyes wide open. She glanced at the screen, then at the big blockhead: "This—this is real? I—pushed down Utada Hikaru's song?"
She knew the significance of Utada Hikaru; she was a legend in the Japanese music scene, achieving legendary status in both sales and critical acclaim. Even Xiang Nan in 03 couldn't surpass her sales figures.
She's just a newcomer who's crossed over into singing, how could she possibly beat her?
Seeing her shocked expression, Xiang Nan couldn't help but laugh out loud, reaching out to pinch her cheek: "It's absolutely true, the real-time data was just updated, and your download and play counts are both higher than hers. You're now the dark horse of the Japanese music scene! And also—"
"It's not just Japan, it's all over China too." Xiang Nan exited the webpage and opened Sina.com, a Chinese website.
As soon as I opened the webpage, I was greeted by a trending topics list. Of the top ten topics, four featured Yifei's name:
#Xiang Nan and Liu Yifei secretly travel to Japan#
#Liu Yifei's debut song tops Japan's Oricon chart#
#Xiang Nan and Liu Yifei sing together on stage#
#Fairy Sister is Crazy in the Japanese Music Scene#.
"So—" Yifei blinked her adorable big eyes, looking at Da Mutou in disbelief, "So I'm famous?"
"Um!
'
"Ah! That's great!" With a cheer, Yifei pounced on Xiang Nan and started kissing his head.
With a creak, the door opened, and Liu Xiaoli, wearing gloves, came out carrying a plate of food.
"Little Nan, Auntie made you some cheese shrimp balls again, try them—okay, eat—"
