The most beautiful space

19 So-called internet celebrities

When Li Li arrived, Su Tong and Kongkong were already waiting there with their pet. Kongkong had strongly felt Su Tong's neglect these past two days, which was a huge blow to the usually adorable Kongkong. It walked with its head down, looking listless.

Humans are truly strange creatures. Su Tong used to pay attention to her appearance and demeanor, but now that she's become more beautiful, she doesn't care much about her image anymore. She just squats there, whispering to Kong Kong, soothing and comforting him. She's wearing a loose batwing shirt, jeans, white sneakers, and a hat.

Li Li had imagined the two sisters dressed smartly, strolling down the street and going on a shopping spree. But Su Tong was dressed so casually! Li Li pointed angrily at Su Tong with her freshly manicured fingers, completely exasperated. "Su Tong, can't you dress a little more attractively for your sister? Don't just throw on some rags! I feel hot for you wearing so much! I'm the one who's a housewife, not you! How long will it take you to hook up with a handsome husband like this? Besides, not only are you dressed casually, but you also brought your dog!"

Hearing her sharp words, Su Tong felt a warmth in her heart and looked up, saying, "Okay, okay, my mom's been nagging me every day at home, that's why I was so eager to come out as soon as I got your call. And now you're still criticizing me? Don't you want my ears to rest? Don't worry about Kongkong, it's the best behaved dog, it definitely won't interfere with our shopping trip, besides, it's so cute~"

"Oh my god! I take back what I just said!" Even Li Li, who knew Su Tong well, was shocked. She knew Su Tong was beautiful, and when Su Tong had just come home to visit Li Li last time, she was already even more beautiful. Now, she couldn't quite put her finger on the change, but she was stunningly beautiful. Li Li squinted and pressed, "You're this beautiful now, why would you need to wear pretty clothes? Tong Tong, tell me honestly, what happened?"

"Sigh, these things are hard to explain." Su Tong wasn't going to brush Li Li off, and she couldn't tell Li Li the truth, so she could only hold her hand, smile wryly, and explain, "Li Li, there really are some unscientific things in this that are hard to explain, but in any case, it's not bad for me, so you don't have to worry."

The water from the space spring that Su's father sent to his friend at the research institute for testing has come back. The results show that there are no abnormal components and it is harmless to the human body. Although they cannot explain the magical effects of the space, Su's parents are obviously more relieved and believe that the space will not cause any harm.

Grandpa Li is a somewhat well-known feng shui master, and her parents still worship Buddha statues every day. They've always been inclined to believe in supernatural events, so she gave a dismissive "humph" and said, "Actually, I'm not that interested. I was just asking. By the way, I rescued you from Aunt Deng's clutches, so you have to accompany me on a shopping trip today, and you absolutely can't complain about being tired halfway through!"

Accompanying Li Li shopping was a real physical task. Under Li Li's threatening gaze, Su Tong resignedly nodded, "Yes, yes, this servant will obey Empress Dowager Li's decree!"

Li Li laughed and playfully punched her.

The two walked side by side, with Kong Kong running not far ahead, and first headed towards the pedestrian street together.

After strolling through the pedestrian street, which was mostly lined with clothing stores, Li Li had already filled several large bags with purchases. Before Su Tong's stamina declined, her shopping prowess was on a completely different level from Li Li's. Even though the "generous and beautiful" Li Li helped Su Tong carry her things, Su Tong was still panting heavily from exhaustion. After moving on to the commercial street, it was basically Li Li's shopping spree, while Su Tong would sit down and rest in each store, occasionally helping Li Li check if the clothes she tried on looked good.

After resting for half an hour at a teahouse at the street corner, ignoring Su Tong's desperate pleas, Li Li left her many spoils from the initial battle at the shopping plaza and then dragged the exhausted and sweaty Su Tong to browse several large clothing brand stores. By this time, Su Tong was completely exhausted and could barely walk.

Finally, Kongkong saw that its owner was so tired that she was about to cry, so it bravely bit the tassel of Li Li's high-heeled sandals to stop her from shopping, thus saving Su Tong. The condition was that Su Tong would treat Li Li to a not-so-cheap Western restaurant nearby.

Between RMB and legs, legs are definitely more important, so Su Tong readily agreed.

The two entered the Western restaurant and followed the waiter to a table for two. After ordering, Su Tong, having recovered from her fatigue, asked, "Li Li, you seem to be in a bad mood today. What's wrong?"

"You figured it out."

Su Tong said smugly, "Whenever you're in a bad mood, you go on a shopping spree. You never do anything else. Do you think I can't tell?"

Li Li had been waiting for Su Tong to ask, and while the two ate, Li Li told him all about Li Qiang's abnormal behavior since he came home on Sunday. She concluded, "What a brat! He was quite well-behaved when he was little, but now he's so annoying all the time. He's already such a tall young man, and I can't exactly beat him up. There's just no way to deal with him!" As she spoke, she took another big gulp of red wine.

"You mean starting from noon on Sunday?" Su Tong was a little confused. Wasn't he playing with her at "Jinghong" that morning? He seemed perfectly normal.

"Mmm," Li Li mumbled, a piece of steak in her mouth. She didn't really think Su Tong could offer any solutions; she just wanted to confide in him.

As Su Tong was carefully recalling what was strange about Li Qiang that day, she heard a male voice say, "Su Tong, what a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."

A few people came down from the second floor. One of them, a refined and handsome man, greeted Su Tong with a smile. He was Zhou Jun, the older brother of Zhou Xiuna, Deng Yue's classmate.

There was an indescribable meaning in his smile, which made Su Tong feel very uncomfortable and she lost her appetite. She put down her knife and fork and politely said, "Hello."

Li Li winked at Su Tong: Who is this guy?

From an angle where Zhou Jun couldn't see, Su Tong waved her middle finger at Li Li: "You scumbag."

His friends first glanced at Su Tong with amazement, then Zhou Jun made a gesture, and they stared at Su Tong meaningfully for a few moments before reluctantly leaving. Zhou Jun then stared at Li Li for a couple more times, and seeing that Li Li was completely enjoying her meal and showed no intention of avoiding him, he maintained the smile that made Su Tong uncomfortable and said, "Su Tong, I've always thought I was a good catch, but you rejected me so coldly that day. At first, I didn't understand why, but now I realize that you actually had this kind of idea in mind."

Su Tong was puzzled, but her expression remained calm. At a time like this, one should not lose face even if one loses the battle.

Seeing that Su Tong didn't react, Zhou Jun continued, "But with your looks, if you really want to become famous, why would you need to do it this way? Aren't you tired of all that?"

Li Li was furious. Under the table, she took her heel and stomped on Su Tong, signaling her to stop wasting her breath on Zhou Jun.

"Are you finished?" Su Tong smiled brightly, which stunned Zhou Jun. Then she said coldly, "Mr. Zhou, if you've finished speaking, then we'll take our leave!"

Li Li was already prepared. As soon as Su Tong said they were leaving, she picked up her bag and walked alongside Su Tong. Kong Kong, who had been resting at Su Tong's feet, also quickly got up, glanced at Zhou Jun with her round eyes, and gracefully followed.

Maintaining her aloof and elegant demeanor, Li Li turned a corner and burst into laughter: "You didn't see that guy's face, it was so sour! But what can you do when he's such a weirdo, suddenly popping up and talking about being famous or not, so strange!"

Thinking about what Zhou Jun had just said, Su Tong felt that it wasn't just something he said casually, and she had a bad feeling. Sure enough, the next day, Su Tong took Kong Kong out for a run as usual in the morning, and she felt that there were more people staring at her on the street. Feeling very uncomfortable, she went home early and found that her premonition from the previous day had come true.

Su Tong's mother, who hadn't spoken to her for three days, called out to Su Tong as soon as she entered the door, "Tongtong, come and see!"

Su Tong ran to the computer and was completely dumbfounded.

In recent years, internet celebrities have emerged one after another. She never thought that one day she could catch up with this trend. The number one topic on Weibo is now called "Goddess of Ancient Dance", accompanied by a photo that is none other than Su Tong herself! Even on Baidu, "Goddess of Ancient Dance" is now a popular search keyword.
