An hour had passed as Meng Fan waited for everyone to arrive at the waterfront restaurant.
At the end of the game, the CGL basketball tournament’s marketing department had already sent out the wonderful edits from the day’s game. There was a separate video of Meng Fan breaking the world record.
At the same time, the audience watching had also filmed more or less videos and pictures which they had already uploaded to their social media outlets. The most shared video, of course, was undoubtedly Meng Fan’s.
When a video surfaces with the header
World record broken
, it will always attract some attention.
Basketball was a popular sport. As a result, most people would know more or less what the rules were even if they didn’t know of the basketball machine.
After knowing the necessary information, they went to see Meng Fan’s video, then the result was different.
He was too fast, too accurate, and holy cow; he broke the world record. This was the thought process of most of the people that saw his video. Occasionally, someone would remember the ten or hundred points they scored when playing the game themselves.
There were still people who shared the video, especially on Weibo. There was always room for special and strange content to flourish. Not long after, the CGL basketball tournament’s Weibo post had garnered a thousand shares.
Of course, the video wasn’t causing a sensational wave of forwards and shares, nonetheless front page material. After all, it wasn’t a well-known sport, nor did it have a high reward margin. Like before, not many people knew of the original record holder either.
It was only big news for a small group of people.
Meng Fan had graced the front page by chance during his laughing frenzy at Shan Jin bro’s concert, but evidently, the strange and dumb events on Weibo were obviously more eye-catching than ordinary events.
Also, the main point was that the laughing frenzy had occurred during Shan Jin Bro’s concert.
However this time it was a little more special. The CGL basketball tournament’s editor had discovered Meng Fan broke the world record, and an hour later, the number of shares skyrocketed.

Huh? Why is everyone @SuQingCen when they share the video?


Everyone is tagging Meng host too, this Meng host must be the Meng Fan who broke the world record, right?

The editor looked at it for a while, confirming that the sudden surge in shares and comments had spawned from primarily two groups of people. One group was the fans of Su Qing Cen, and the other were the fans of Meng Fan, the record-breaker himself.
It wasn’t difficult to figure out the latter. It was easy to tell from their words that Meng Fan was a streamer and one that had a strong appeal as well. Asking around some more, they confirmed that Meng Fan had been streaming during the competition.
As for the former, they were a bit more inexplicable. @SuQingCen had said something along the lines of come watch our Haha bro; what the hell was a Haha bro? The editor was clueless, and upon asking his colleagues realized they were clueless as well. After a long time tracking Weibo posts, he found the reason.
It turns out Meng Fan was the governor of smiles during Shan Jin bro’s concert!
Well, the editor also found the laughing video from the concert along the way when he realized such an operation existed. Although the video had made the front page, the editor had not seen it before.
Not long after the editor discovered the reason, he suddenly saw the share count soar. It was because Shan Jin bro had shared this Weibo!
Su Qing Cen said,
Congratulations to Haha bro, Meng host for creating a new world record!

Su Qing Cen was an idol singer, and the talented kind as well. In terms of popularity, she was ranked very high among the other singers who were currently trending. Anything she shared on Weibo would have no less than 100,000 shares, including the statuses she forwarded from other people.
Of course, Su Qing Cen very seldomly forwarded other people’s statuses.
After all, she was a popular celebrity, and her management and brokerage team were very strict.
But for this Weibo post, the brokerage team had raised both hands in support of sharing.
For an artist’s fan to appear as a great individual, it was something both the artist and the management were glad to see, especially when something so incredulous happens like breaking a world record, although the record was not very well known, or paid.

Meng fatty, your Shan Jin bro shared a status about your record-breaking Weibo!

When Meng Fan, Da Fei, and the others entered the restaurant, Zhang Zhou Wei ran over with his phone, showing him the screen:
your idol has reposted and congratulated you on your world record, this is too much!

As his roommates, Zhang Zhou Wei and the other two knew that Meng Fan was a fan of Shan Jin Bro. When your idol affirms you, it’s surely something to be happy for.
Xing Ta Ge revealed a mysterious smile with a gaze that seemed to see through everything.
It’s true Meng Fan was Su Qing Cen’s fan, but after learning that Meng Cai Wei was Meng Fan’s sister, Xing Ta Gei no longer found anything spectacular about Shan Jin bro forwarding a Weibo status related to Meng Fan—although the content was a bit unusual—Meng Cai Wei and Su Qing Cen were good friends in private, which most people knew about. After all, the two had little interaction during work, but would often be seen traveling together and taking photos.
Of course, Wu Tong definitely knew more about this, as she had been the one who had met Su Qing Cen with Meng Fan.
There were seventeen of them in the group, and they asked for the biggest private room at the waterfront restaurant, the kind with a round table suited for 20 people. Chen Da Qiang had already ordered the dishes, and true to his name, all the food tasted great. It was so delicious that even the chef began to doubt himself.
The meal was shared in a harmonious atmosphere, and when they finished it was already eight o clock.

Thank you senpai for the hospitality, we have class tomorrow so we’re going to leave now.

Qu Jing Jing and her group left, and of course, the formalities became normal again after they changed out of their roles. Their farewells however made some of the other boys who had planned to try their pursuit were a bit disappointed.
Da Fei and the other two also left.
Then we are heading out too, see you soon.

The rest of them along with Meng Fan bantered happily as they headed back to school.
At this time, Qu Jing Jing and her friends had already entered the school.

Jing Jing, weren’t you going to confess to senior Meng Fan?
After setting a long-distance and leaving their roles, the four girls resumed their normal names for Meng Fan. One of them stopped Qu Jing Jing and hung on to her arm as she asked.

I planned on confession, but I chickened out. Haven’t you guys noticed? Meng Fan senpai is a lot more outstanding than we thought. And Wu Tong senpai seems to be interested in him too. It’s not like what everyone is saying that he has no chance. I have the courage to confess and the courage to be rejected, but I have no courage to face senpai when he goes out of his way to deliberately avoid me. Of course, I will continue to like Meng Fan senpai, more and more.

Qu Jing Jing smiled brightly.
I think liking a person is a very positive thing. When you are in the process of liking someone, you are also trying to make yourself a better person. I believe Meng Fan senpai is going through this as well as he pursues Wu Tong senpai. I will become more outstanding, and then confess to him… besides, liking someone doesn’t mean you actually have to get them, right?

The three girls were all stunned and deeply moved by Qu Jing Jing’s words. Collectively, they nodded and said with certainty,
Yes!

Qu Jing Jing said helplessly,
You guys all said you liked Meng Fan senpai, what are we going to be love rivals in the future?

One of the girls twisted over and bumped Qu Jing Jing with her shoulder, squeezing her eyes shut and jokingly said,
Only normal people are love rivals, we are sisters in a palace.
