The Godfather of Chinese Entertainment's Little Flowers

"The Fox of Nine Tails Fox" consists of six units.

Coincidentally, "A Xiu's Story," starring Han Luo, was the first to air.

The internet was in an uproar the night it aired.

"Yue Qiluo, how did you turn into a fox? Could this be your true form?"

"Oh my god! The 'Disdainful Couple' are working together again?! It's unbelievable!"

"Han Luo, what's wrong with you? Why do you always play the scumbag? Are you just playing yourself?"

"Please, please let Han Luo and Yao Mei be together! Make up for this regret."

"Impossible! All scumbags deserve to die, even handsome ones!"

"Two updates a day? Who do you think you are? One episode per person!"

"Han Luo looks so handsome as a scholar! He questions the fox demon, understands the fox demon, and becomes the fox demon!"

"Yao Mei's portrayal of this little fox is so lively and charming!"

"Qiao Xin's portrayal of Ah Xiu is so gentle; her demeanor is just like that of a real young lady from a wealthy family."

"..."

The next day at noon, Han Luo received the viewership rating report from Sister Xia.

On the day of its premiere, "The Green Fox" ranked first in viewership ratings on both the CSM52 city network and the national network, with ratings of 0.8% and 1.5% respectively.

The former refers to television viewership data from 52 key first- and second-tier cities, such as Beijing and Shanghai...

The latter is television viewership data for all urban and rural areas across the country.

It ranked number one in viewership ratings on both networks, demonstrating its immense popularity!

Meanwhile, within 24 hours of its premiere, the total number of views across various online platforms easily surpassed 100 million!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it became an instant hit upon its release.

Of course, there are many factors involved, such as favorable timing, location, and human factors.

"The Green Fox" airs two episodes a day.

"Ah Xiu's Story" only had six episodes, so it was broadcast in three days, and Han Luo didn't pay much attention to it after that.

However, it is said that since the "Disdainful Couple" left the show,

The show's ratings, which had been steadily rising, have actually declined for the first time.

It seems that Han and Luo are doing a pretty good job maintaining their public image!

However, the open-ended, or rather, ambiguous, ending of "Ah Xiu's Story" has sparked a small controversy online.

Many people left messages on Han Luo's Weibo, asking:

Where exactly did Liu Zigu go?

Helpless, Han Luo bid farewell to "Liu Zigu" on Weibo, accompanied by a sentimental post:

"There's really no need for everyone to worry about where Liu Zigu went..."

"Leaving Liu Zigu doesn't mean Ah Xiu is without happiness. The passionate love and vows of eternal devotion are ultimately just illusions. A simple and peaceful life may be Ah Xiu's best destiny..."

Han Luo's ability to write this "cheesy" passage is most likely thanks to Ms. Wu Qiulan's "rambling" these past two days.

He originally just wanted to give a simple response.

Who would have thought that it would resonate with so many people?

Especially some married people.

"Han Luo, tell me the truth, did you secretly get married behind our backs? Otherwise, how could you have such profound insights?"

"Damn it! Han Luo, stop talking, it hurts! It hurts so much! Before we got married, you called me 'Sweetie,' but after we got married, you call me 'Mrs. Cow'!"

"True happiness lies in the ordinary," what a painful realization, and it's a pity I only understand it now!

"Han Luo, you're incredibly clear-headed! Dating and marriage are two completely different things..."

"Han Luo, my new mentor!"

"Han Luo is absolutely right, based on my experience!"

"..."

"Depend on!"

"After what they said, I'm starting to have a fear of marriage!"

Han Luo was so frightened that she quickly turned off her phone screen.

His willpower was already weak; if he continued watching, he would be completely finished...

The happiest person about this was Comrade Wu Qiulan. She was very pleased that her son had finally grown up.

She also forwarded the message to her WeChat Moments and family group!

That same afternoon, the same day the Weibo post was published.

Han Luo received an unexpected phone call.

"Hey, Teacher Qiao Xin, Happy New Year!"

Qiao Xin snorted and laughed, "It's already the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, isn't it a bit late to say Happy New Year now?"

In fact, the two exchanged New Year's greetings on WeChat.

However, this is limited to New Year's greetings; there's not much difference between a message and a mass text message.

"Haha, not too late, not too late. The thought is what counts." Han Luo paused, then continued, "I wonder what Teacher Qiao Xin wanted to see me about?"

There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone. "Actually, it's nothing much. I just saw your Weibo post, it was really well written..."

"Thank you for the compliment."

Han Luo sensed that she didn't seem very interested.

Qiao Xin said quietly, "Han Luo, you're not married either, so where do you get such profound insights?"

Perhaps because she had played Ah Xiu before, Qiao Xin felt a special connection to the character.

"Uh... or maybe I'm just precocious?"

Han Luo gave a casual reply, but at the same time, he was certain that this woman was definitely up to something!

Could it be that he/she has broken up with his/her boyfriend/girlfriend?

Or did you get cheated on?

Han Luo was itching to ask, but she couldn't bring herself to ask.

So he probed indirectly, "Are you... alright?"

A soft laugh came from the other end of the phone, "What could be wrong? I'm just a little sentimental about suddenly saying goodbye to the role of 'Ah Xiu'..."

"Oh, I see." Han Luo said suspiciously.

His intuition, honed from years of being a scumbag, told him that things weren't that simple.

"Well, that's normal, but there's one thing you did right."

Qiao Xin asked, puzzled, "What is it?"

"That is: when Ah Xiu encounters something sad, she immediately calls Liu Zigu," Han Luo, the scumbag, said.

Qiao Xin chuckled. "Han Luo, tell me honestly, have you dated many girlfriends, or even dated many girlfriends at the same time?"

Han Luo was shocked and cried out that he was innocent.

"Slander! You're slandering me! How could you do this? I was trying to reason with you, and you insulted my reputation."

"I don't believe it."

After Qiao Xin replied, there was another brief silence on the other end of the phone.

Han Luo swallowed hard and asked cautiously, "Hey... are you still there?"

"Han Luo..."

"I am here!"

I have a question for you.

"you say......"

Qiao Xin couldn't tell Han Luo directly that her family had arranged blind dates for her with second-generation rich kids from the same social circle during the Chinese New Year this year.

A family marriage or a business marriage is her ultimate destiny, and a future that can be foreseen at a glance.

These things troubled her greatly.

So she asked indirectly:

"If you had to choose between a mundane life and a dreamlike existence, which would you choose?"

hiss......

Han Luo was speechless for a moment.

Sister, that's a tough question to answer.

Han Luo dislikes giving life advice to others the most! It's actually not a good idea...

His mind raced, and he quickly came up with a standard answer that would be widely circulated in later generations.

"Cough cough..."

Han Luo cleared his throat and said with a touch of chuunibyou:

"When in doubt, ask the spring breeze; if the spring breeze remains silent, then follow your heart! If you want to do something, then do it."

"When in doubt..." Qiao Xin murmured to himself, then chuckled softly, "It's quite interesting. Thank you, Han Luo."

"You're welcome, please settle the consultation fee," Han Luo joked.

"How many do you want?" Qiao Xin asked, covering her mouth with a laugh.

"Oh, it's no big deal. I wouldn't mind if you offered me three or five million."

"Hehe... well, I'll owe you that for now."

"Hey, hey, hey, I don't allow credit here!"

Just then, a shout came from the other end of the phone. Qiao Xin responded and then hurriedly said, "Something came up, I have to hang up now. I'll treat you to dinner later!"

"You rude guy."

After hanging up the phone, Han Luo muttered something softly.

Time flies, and it's already the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

Han Luo had exhausted all of Ms. Wu Qiulan's patience and kindness towards him.

Even if you're powerful and influential outside, so what?

When I got home, my mom still violently pushed open my bedroom door, ruthlessly pulled back the curtains, and said, "You do nothing but sleep all day long!"

When they left, they didn't even close the door!

Therefore, in order to avoid escalating family conflicts and to safeguard love and peace in the world.

That noon, after finishing his brunch, Han Luo picked up his bucket and ran away back to the capital!
