ALL NOVEL
Chapter 16
Although Cheng Xiaoyu didn't pay much attention to the daily weather in Beijing, she still knew roughly when it would rain and when the sun would come out brightly in recent days. This was because she had a shop herself lately, facing the entrance every day. She noticed the weather forecasts released by the blogger were quite accurate.
Because of the scandal with Ji Xiao, Chu Yang gained around 400+ new followers.
As the number of followers increased, some of them said after seeing the blogger forecasting Beijing's weather all the time, "Blogger, why do you always forecast Beijing's weather? Forecast some other cities as well, take care of us followers from Jiangning!"
Other followers immediately echoed, "And those of us from Yuezhou!"
Some hoped the blogger would reveal other entertainment gossips, "Blogger, reveal some other gossips! I love gossips the most."
After seeing the requests from the followers, Chu Yang directly forecasted the next day's weather for Jiangning City the next day: Hailstorm coming at 2:20 pm east of Jiangning City tomorrow, please stay safe.
The follower living in Jiangning City: "No way, I live in the east of the city... But the weather does seem not so good recently."
Regarding the rumor about the collapse of the villa of Zhuang Zi Qi, a C-list celebrity, his studio had already issued a statement denying it. A big "FALSE" was plastered in the announcement picture. It even said they would take legal measures to protect their rights against those spreading rumors.
However, right after the announcement was posted at noon, someone asked Chu Yang to delete her post, in case she got sued. After all, the other party had released an announcement.
Of course Chu Yang wouldn't delete it. As a joke! Her predictions had never gone wrong.
Some others said the rumor about the collapse of Ji Xiao's villa had been circulating for some time. The blogger was just hyping it up. Though some paparazzi also privately contacted her, wanting to buy gossips from her as they thought Chu Yang had some evidence.
Chu Yang just ignored them.
That night, "Collapse of Zhuang Zi Qi's Villa" made it to the hot search. The announcement at noon seemed like a irony...
The reason for the collapse of Zhuang Zi Qi's villa was even more dramatic than that of Ji Xiao's. He had forced abortion, adultery while married, threatened with nude photos! Chu Yang's post was dug out again, gaining another small wave of fans. But people still thought she was a gossip blogger...
However, the new fans found after checking the account "Prophet Witch" that her posts were all "weather forecasts". And each post had fans' flattering comments saying the predictions were very accurate. But her self-introduction said she was a witch who could make prophecies.
The new fans were confused. Why make weather forecasts when you could just check the meteorological bureau? As for "prophecies" and stuff, nobody believed it. It was probably just like Tarot card reading and such. But the blogger didn't have posts like that at all.
The next day, the fan from Jiangning City replied: Ahhhhhh, it really hailed, precisely at 2:20pm! I timed it! The blogger is awesome!
Below were comments from fans: Witch, it should be my city's turn today, Sanchuan City.
"I asked first, Witch, Yuezhou, Yuezhou!"
"Blogger, any other gossips recently?"
Chu Yang posted Yuezhou's weather forecast today: Yuezhou, sunny tomorrow.
...
In a pavilion corner of the campus, Chu Yang was sitting there crumbling a small bread into breadcrumbs on the table, then a crow flew over crying "caw caw", and started pecking at the breadcrumbs, occasionally rubbing its beak against Chu Yang's fingers.
Chu Yang even made a cup with leaves, poured some mineral water in for the crow to drink.
When Chi Yan walked past here, he saw this scene of a girl getting along so harmoniously with a crow...
Chi Yan hesitated for a moment then walked up. The crow was startled and "caw caw"-ed before flying onto a nearby tree, tilting its head looking at Chi Yan, crying at Chu Yang twice, then flew into the woods.
Only then did Chu Yang notice Chi Yan.
Chi Yan stopped in his tracks, smiling awkwardly, "Sorry, it seems I disturbed you guys."
Chu Yang shook her head, "Anything?"
Only then did Chi Yan recall his purpose, "I'm here for an exchange activity, but got lost. I want to go to Zhixing Building." There were quite some exchange activities between B University and A University, sometimes they would audit each other's classes.
Chu Yang thought for a bit before recalling where Zhixing Building was, at the Computer Science school. But it was still quite far from here, she wondered how Chi Yan got here.
Chu Yang pointed to a direction, "Walk about 100 meters that way and there's a bus stop. Take the bus for around 3 stops and get off, then ask someone and you'll know."
"Okay, thanks!" Chi Yan looked at the time, it was about time, he waved at her and left.
After Chu Yang packed up, she went back with her schoolbag.
For a few consecutive days, Chu Yang forecasted the weather for several cities where her followers lived, and they all said the predictions were very accurate. Even asking Chu Yang to forecast the weather for all cities in the country once over.
Of course she wouldn't do that. After a week, Chu Yang made another gossip prophecy: A celebrity with over 20 million fans will announce his/her relationship this week.
The fans who had thought she was a Prophet Witch all reappeared! They guessed one by one, after all there were multiple celebrities with over 20 million fans.
"XJJ?"
"I think it's TAJ."
"Huh what? Who're XJJ and TAJ? Why can't I type their Chinese names?"
"So the blogger is a gossip blogger?"
One fan said, "What? My blogger is a prophet blogger!"
"Nonsense, my blogger is clearly a weather forecaster."
"Nah, the blogger is the Goddess of Wind and Thunder."
"Oh, the blogger turns out to be the Son of the Sky God."
"..." Getting more and more exaggerated.
"Impossible someone can actually make prophecies, just take it as entertainment."
Chu Yang's eyes narrowed seeing this post doubting her capabilities - since he doubted her power, she would prove it to him. She was a little bored recently anyway.
Soon Chu Yang replied to him: "Suggest you hurry home, your wife's going into labor."
The fan: "??? How did the blogger know my wife is pregnant? No, how did you know I'm married?"
Chu Yang didn't reply to him. 10 minutes later, the fan immediately got a call, "Zhou Cheng, go to the hospital quick, your wife is in labor!"
The fan called Zhou Cheng: !!!
Two hours later, the fan immediately replied to Chu Yang: "Ahhhhhhh, the blogger is truly divine! My wife gave birth, hahahaha."
Chu Yang: "Congrats on getting a little cotton-padded jacket."
Fan: "...Fuck me! My wife did give birth to a daughter."
The fans who saw this all commented: "No way." "The blogger can really do it?" "I felt the blogger was extraordinary after following her." "Has to be fake right? Paid propaganda?" "Seems fake, unfollowing."
Chu Yang didn't care about those unfollowing. Good wine is not afraid of a deep alley.
As for the celebrity announcing relationship Chu Yang mentioned, gossip lovers were all waiting for it. Two days later, an actor called Rong Xichou publicly announced his relationship, @-ing another actress. The two actors both had over 20 million fans.
Chu Yang's post was seen again, and gained some more fans, close to 1,000 now... All real fans.
