Chapter 261 I cant wai
I Hate You, Devil!
The video clip started with a scene of what appeared to be a fatal car accident. A flashing lights of ambulance and police cars appeared next as a dramatic, captivating and soulful melody began. A girl was laid on the white hospital bed before the video focused in the girlâs beautiful eyes which were closed. And then, there was total darkness. A second later, a light appeared and gradually swallowed the darkness. The girlâs lashes fluttered like ethereal butterfly wings. She woke up in what appeared to be a magical forest. She blinked in slow motion as she looked up and stared at the falling snow before the video shifted above the trees before a word was then written on the blue sky â"Dream". Xiao Mimiâs name then appeared next, followed by Star Castleâs logo before it ended.
"How was it?" Yu Chen asked and Xiaolei smiled at him. Her eyes were welling as she hugged her husband.
"Itâs beautiful." Was all she said. "I just hope people will like it."
"The liked it Xiaolei... look at the views." Yu Chen said confidently and the moment Xiaoleiâs head snapped back on her laptop screen and saw the number of views, her eyes almost jumped out of its socket.
"Whoah!! I-itâs already more than a million?!" she gasped. She stayed quite elevated for a while before she looked at Yu Chen again.
"Thank you, I know part of this is because of the insane advertising you planned."
"No, actually, I didnât do that much. I think your fans are just starved enough for your official debut. Why donât you look at the comments and see for yourself?" he suggested and Xiaolei swallowed. She couldnât help but feel nervous.
The moment she saw the number of comments; she was again overwhelmed. She glanced at her husband again before she started reading.
"Oh god, where did this bomb came from? Our Xiao Mimi will finally debut after f*cking four years?! And what the hellâs with this teaser? The melody sounded so damn heart touching!! I even though it was a movieâs trailer at first! The cinematography is just too perfect!! This isnât half assed at all!!"
"Wahh!!! What is this?? Itâs just a teaser but Iâm already damn excited!! At long last!! Xiao Mimiâs debut is finally here!! I could tell by the melody alone that this will be another hit!! Ahh, what a soothing melody!"
"Ahh, I donât know why by I am having goosebumps. It is just a teaser and yet Iâm already getting a lot of feels, damn it!! I canât wait for the release of the music video!!"
"Guys, guys, no one really wanted to talk about the girl in the video?!! Is that girl our Xiao Mimi?! Sheâs like a goddess!! Sheâs like a living painting!! Tell me, sheâs our Xiao Mimi, right?! Sheâs not just an actress, right?!"
"Thatâs what I wanted to know too!! Sheâs so af gorgeous!! Who is she? Is she Xiao Mimi?! Someone please confirm if the girl in the teaser is her!!"
"Are you guys blind? Thatâs obviously Xiao Mimi! Just compare the lips and youâll see itâs her. Ahh!! Finally!! To all those bastards spreading rumors thatâs Xiao Mimi is hiding her ugly face behind her mask, did you receive enough face slaps today?!! Xiao Mimi is a goddess! Sheâs as gorgeous as her voice!!"
"But we canât be sure if no one will confirm it. Oh well, whatever looks she has, Iâm all with the music. I love her songs so even if sheâs ugly, Iâm still her fan."
"Meanwhile, no one is talking about the fact that the logo of the rising company, Star Castle, appeared in the teaser. Like what the fudge!! She signed with monster rookies, I.x.Uâs label!!"
"Oh, now that you mentioned it! Donât blame us. We waited for this fated day for four years!! We donât really mind what company she ends up with, as long as the company wonât waste her talent and treat her well!"
"Haha, no one actually noticed Lin Zâs name in there?!"
"Whoah!! Youâre right!! The song is produced by Lin Z!! Oh gosh!! No wonder I felt some change in this songâs beat when compared to Xiao Mimiâs past song. Now this is an epic collaboration. Xiao Mimiâs ethereal voice plus the genius Lin Zâs work of art!! I canât wait! Release the whole MV already!!"
After reading those comments, Xiaoleiâs heart was soothed to the extreme. She of course knew that there were negative comments but she focused on the most liked comments and they were all so encouraging. She was utterly happy with the result, and her excitement was elevated to the highest degree.
"How was it?" Yu Chen asked, seeing her expression and Xiaolei hugged him.
"Iâm happy. I canât wait." She uttered and Yu Chen caressed her head. "I canât wait to tell the world about our story."
...
Xiaolei spent the rest of the day with her family. Surprisingly, Yu Chen asked the twins to sleep with them that night as well so the boys didnât return to Yu residence. They then wore their iconic panda pajamas and they cuddled on the bed like what they used to do before the coupleâs accident five months ago.
The day was peaceful, so peaceful and happy that Xiaolei didnât want the day to end yet. Itâs been such a long time since she had a relaxing day like this without any worry and other unpleasant matters that were bugging her mind, so she kind of wish for it to last a little longer. But she knew that tomorrow should come and something amazing was waiting for her.
And thus, the next day, everyone was ready to go back to work. Xiaolei didnât have time to check the video again so she didnât know that the already viral video clip caused an even bigger uproar.
As the couple stepped out of their house, already dressed with fine and tailored business suits, someone suddenly popped before them. It was no other than the historian, Gu Wei.
The man blocked their way, like a cat dropping himself in the middle of a busy high way. His eyes were narrowed as his gaze darted back and forth between Xiaoleiâs face and on the screen of his phone.
