Let's debut, fairy!

Chapter 52 The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl
The sky.

It gradually darkened amidst the hustle and bustle.

After being taken out for a "show" and having eaten their fill, Su Xintang and Meng Bai finally returned to the courtyard.

Meng Bai didn't take out his camera to record what had just happened; that would be too deliberate. He just took some photos intermittently with his phone.

He mainly keeps these materials as a backup, and he certainly won't release them to the public now.

If this is posted now, it will give the impression to netizens and even villagers that an internet celebrity is trying to establish a family connection in order to create an account.

Currently, it seems that the relationship between Su Xintang and Grandma Xiulian should be presented to the outside world as pure and free from any other entanglements.

However, even if you don't post it, you should still keep more records.

After returning to the courtyard, Meng Bai never let go of his camera.

Record more moments of grandparents and grandchildren together now, and then share them later. That way, what was once "deliberately seeking traffic" will become "warm memories."

The two even used all their incense offerings to temporarily shrink Su Xintang's size several times with their acting skills.

They had her take many photos and videos with Huang Xiulian at different ages to preserve the record. This would help solidify Su Xintang's identity.

After a flurry of activity, it was already past 9 p.m.

Under the tree in the courtyard, Meng Bai and Su Xintang sat on small stools, staring at the account of [Su Xintang].

The account already has 9.1 followers.

It's only been three days since I started using this account, and I haven't spent any money on promotion since then, so this result is pretty good.

However, more and more people are posting pictures of helmets in the comments section, and there are also many comments asking about the previous rumors spread by marketing accounts about being secretly photographed.

"Shouldn't we clarify this?" Su Xintang asked.

"Let's clarify, but there's no need for a big fuss. Just reply in the comments section with 'This is a rumor spread by a marketing account.' Then they'll definitely ask who I am, and we'll reply in the comments section with 'Boyfriend.'"

"that's all?"

"correct."

"Oh~" Su Xintang, sitting on a small stool, was a little unwilling. She lowered her head, picked up a twig, and scratched the ground, saying in a low voice, "I thought at least we should film a video or something."

"Why make a video? We should keep a low profile on certain things and not create a stage for netizens to discuss." Meng Bai chuckled. Su Xintang's identity was just being established, so it wasn't appropriate to make any big news.

“But…” Su Xintang muttered, looking down.

"But what?"

"It's nothing," Su Xintang shook her head.

Now that He Gu has found a Daoist partner, even if we don't host a banquet for all directions, shouldn't there at least be a ceremony?

Why is it that when it comes to myself, I can just casually say something in the comments section and that's it?

Thinking of this, she slashed at the ground even harder.

Meng Bai finally noticed her change in mood. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Next time, shall we make a more formal announcement?"

"What does 'official announcement' mean?" Su Xintang asked, puzzled.

"It's about officially telling everyone that we're a couple."

Upon hearing this, Su Xintang paused in her scrambling motion on the ground. After a long while, she said shyly, "Who said I wanted to make it official with you?"

"Oh~~" Meng Bai said in a strange manner.

Su Xintang blushed at the "oh," glared at Meng Bai, then turned back to look at the room, stammering, "We...we were acting, acting...acting, do you understand?"

"Oh~~~~" Meng Bai said again.

"I'm going to ask Grandma something." Su Xintang couldn't take it anymore. She was so embarrassed that she made an excuse to get up from the small stool and walk into the house.

But after reaching the doorway, she couldn't help but steal a glance at Meng Bai.

It would have been better if she hadn't peeked, because she caught Meng Bai staring at her, trying not to laugh. "You're still laughing!" Su Xintang was so embarrassed she didn't know what to do. She threw the branch in her hand at Meng Bai, though she didn't use much force.

Meng Bai caught the branch with a "snap".

Then he raised the silver bracelet sword given to him by Su Xintang on his wrist and said in a deliberately literary tone, "Miss, this bracelet sword is enough for me in this life. There is no need to give me a wooden sword."

"I can't be bothered with you." Su Xintang turned around, her pretty face burning, and walked into the house.

As she walked, she couldn't help but touch the small sword on her wrist, and made up her mind that she would put the sword away when she returned to Hegu, so as not to accidentally break it during a fight.

After entering the house.

Su Xintang felt somewhat lost again.

What am I supposed to do after I come in?
Just then, Grandma Xiulian came out from behind carrying a plate of fruit. As soon as she saw Suxintang, she said, "Have some fruit, it's freshly cut."

"Aren't you going to sleep yet?"

"I'm getting old and need less sleep." After saying that, Grandma Xiulian looked at Su Xintang's blushing face and couldn't help but sigh, "I've always heard about perfect couples, but today I've seen one for real."

Good guy!
Su Xintang was already shy, and after what Grandma Xiulian said, she became even more embarrassed.

Even more embarrassing!
She quickly changed the subject: "No, I didn't... I did, I wanted to ask you some questions."

Grandma Xiulian put down the fruit and waited for her to ask.

Such formality made Su Xintang feel overloaded with her brain. What was she even asking?

In a moment of inspiration, she suddenly remembered Altair, which she had mentioned when she communicated with the AI.

So she asked, "Do you know about Altair? Could you tell me about it?"

Altair?

Grandma Xiulian was taken aback by Suxintang's question.

She didn't understand why she needed to tell such a familiar story as "The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl."

Could it be that she wasn't asking about such a simple story?
Or do you want to hear about astronomy?

Yes, that must be it.

Grandma Xiulian, feeling that she understood, ran to the bookshelf, found a thick book, and picked up some fruit, saying, "Go outside and tell them that the weather is nice today, so we should be able to see the Cowherd. Speaking of which, the Qixi Festival is just over ten days away."

"Qixi Festival?" Su Xintang had never heard of this festival before, but she didn't ask any questions.

The two walked out of the courtyard one after the other.

Grandma Xiulian put down the fruit and said, "Xiao Meng, have some fruit."

"Thank you." Meng Bai picked up a piece of food and ate it while fiddling with the equipment. He said, "Xintang, there's something else I forgot to tell you."

"what?"

"This account will no longer post new videos. After you have all your documents sorted out, register an account using your identity. After generating some traffic, we'll delete the [Suxintang] account and clear all its videos."

"Why?" Su Xintang was a little reluctant. She had spent more than 10,000 yuan to accumulate 90,000 followers!
"For safety reasons." When Meng Bai created the account 【素心棠】, Su Xintang didn't have an identity, so it was registered using Meng Bai's identity.

Now that she has a status, she should use her own money.

Keep this account, what if one day it goes wrong and news breaks that there is no transit record?
Clear it out, let everyone gradually forget about it.

Then I'll register a new account as a backup.

Hearing their conversation and seeing the pile of equipment Meng Bai had laid out on the table, Grandma Xiulian asked curiously, "So, your public identity is that you make online videos?"

"This isn't our public identity; we're just independent media bloggers from mainland China, that's all we have," Meng Bai explained with a smile.

Grandma Xiulian nodded, then said thoughtfully, "I see on the news that there are videos of people going to the mainland to find their relatives, and it seems like a lot of people are willing to watch them."
