Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 425 They should envy me.
Since she was proposing in front of the entire group, Li Qiutang had no intention of hiding it.

The proposal was made at 8:13 AM, and it trended on social media at 8:20 AM.

It was during prime time in the evening.

The three entries were prominently displayed in bright red at the top three.

"On the evening of August 25th, the crew of 'Mojin: The Lost Legend' held a birthday party for Liu Yifei. At the party, director Li Qiutang, holding flowers and a ring, proposed to Liu Yifei in front of relatives and friends and successfully got engaged."

The photos released included one of Li Qiutang kneeling down to propose and another of the two kissing.

The news caused an uproar online!
Although people had guessed their relationship before, the sudden official announcement today, especially the proposal that followed the announcement, surprised many.

At 8:22 AM, the two parties confirmed the news on Weibo.

Li Qiutang: "Forever the same. @Liu Yifei" The accompanying photo is of the two kissing at the proposal scene.

Liu Yifei: "Always the same. @Li Qiutang"

At 8:25 AM, Weibo's servers crashed, making it impossible to log in. Users browsing the site were unable to refresh and load new pages and were subsequently forced out of the site.

Then #WeiboCrashed# became a trending topic on Baidu's hot search list. Similarly, #LiQiutangProposesToLiuYifei# also topped the list on Baidu's hot search list.

The Liu Yifei fan forum was in an uproar, with the official announcement post pinned by the moderator being refreshed at a rate of one page per second.

A large portion of Weibo refugees have migrated to Tieba, where new posts have been refreshed more than 300 pages within two minutes.

Other forums weren't much better off; this news basically dominated their headlines.

Even in the gaming forums dominated by straight men, the gamers stopped talking about games and started discussing Li Qiutang and Liu Yifei's relationship.

"I don't accept it! How can a fairy-like woman like you date or get married!"

"My youth died on August 25, 2014."

At the Huairou base, the female guests pushed Li Qiutang aside and formed a circle around Liu Yifei.

"Wow! Yifei, your ring is so pretty!" Girls are always most vulnerable to this.

"What brand is it? Bulgari, wow, it's so beautiful."

"Director, how many carats is the diamond?"

"5.2."

"Wow!" Tang Yan was incredibly envious. "Even the numbers have such meaning!"

Liu Yifei's ring was passed around among her best friends, and everyone praised how beautiful it was.

Shu Chang exclaimed, "Whoever gives me such a huge pigeon egg, I'll marry him on the spot! Ah, it's so beautiful!" She then unceremoniously slipped it onto her ring finger.

Liu Yifei immediately retorted, "I have someone to give me a diamond ring, but you have to buy it yourself. Who buys their own diamond ring to wear?"

Shu Chang was furious.

When the ring was in Jing Tian's hand, she tried it on and looked at it, saying, "I wonder who would give me a ring like this."

Liu Yifei was the happiest person tonight, surrounded by her girlfriends who kept complimenting her.

Qin Lan called out to Li Qiutang, "You've been preparing this ring for a long time, haven't you?"

Li Qiutang said, "That's right! It took a year and a half from selecting the sample to production."

"Oh—you've been wanting to propose for a while now, haven't you?"

Although he felt a little embarrassed by being called out like that, it didn't matter anymore: "That's right, I've wanted to marry such a beautiful woman for a long time."

"Hahahaha!"

On the contrary, Liu Yifei blushed with embarrassment.

Weibo's servers were repaired urgently and have been restored.

Weibo also released a seemingly legitimate announcement:

"Starting at 8:25 PM tonight, due to reasons that everyone understands, Weibo experienced a brief period of outages and login issues. Thanks to the engineers' efforts, the servers have gradually returned to normal. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused."

After Weibo was restored, a large number of netizens immediately flooded the comments sections of Li Qiutang's and Liu Yifei's Weibo accounts.

People both inside and outside the entertainment circle, whether they knew each other or not, forwarded the Weibo post and sent their blessings.

Fan Bingbing: "True love will eventually be united."

Zhang Ziyi: "Congratulations, I look forward to your wedding banquet."

Li Bingbing: "It's finally officially announced."

Hu Ge: "You will definitely be happy."

A female dormitory at a university. "If anyone still says that photo of me is photoshopped, I'll tell you Li Qiutang is my brother and Liu Yifei is my sister-in-law. Now you believe me!"

"It's really not photoshopped?"

“How could it be fake? Liu Yifei has already come to Fengtian to meet our family. This photo was taken at that time. My brother doesn’t want me to post it online, afraid it will cause trouble.”

"Could you help us get a signed photo of Liu Yifei?"

"It's easy to talk about."

Meanwhile, some people discovered that when searching for the name "Liu Yifei" on Taobao at the same time, a large crying face would pop up on the product page.

Taobao's official Weibo account explained:

"When the news came out, our entire office went 'Ah!' and then we went live on this Easter egg at lightning speed."

The official announcement of Li Qiutang and Liu Yifei's relationship sparked a lot of jokes and memes on official corporate Weibo accounts.

Following Weibo's official statement and Taobao's comments, more and more companies have begun to tacitly comment on this matter.

Even CCTV-6 commented on the official announcement on Weibo, saying, "The editor clicked to forward with a mix of laughter and tears."

The entire Simplified Chinese website was immersed in this carnival.

The party in Huairou was lively and bustling. Perhaps inspired by Li Qiutang's grand proposal, Liu Yifei's close friends mostly talked about relationship issues.

Tang Yan complained that she hadn't met a good man.

Liu Yifei put her arm around her shoulder and said, "What kind do you want? I'll introduce you to some options."

"I want someone handsome," Tang Yan said.

Li Qiutang shoved Luo Jin forward, saying, "Isn't my brother handsome?"

Luo and Tang have worked together on "Agent X", but it seems they haven't developed feelings for each other yet.

Tang Yan waved her hand and scoffed.

Luo Jin was displeased: "Hey, what kind of attitude is this? What did I do wrong?"

Tang Yan chuckled.

After the joke was over, Li Qiutang actually secretly suggested that Luo Jin pursue Tang Yan: "What a wonderful girl, tall and beautiful, always making me laugh, and so innocent. Film a couple more movies with her, and you'll fall in love on set. She'll be yours sooner or later."

Luo Jin didn't take these words to heart, thinking he was joking and that Li Qiutang's idea was bad.

"Director, when are you going to have the wedding?" someone shouted.

Li Qiutang said, "My wife will decide." Now he can openly call Liu Yifei his wife.

Liu Yifei said, "After we finish filming this movie, we'll start preparing for the wedding, and you'll all have a celebratory feast."

Because the director was overjoyed, the crew got a day off tomorrow, so the party lasted until very late.

That evening, Liu Yifei was still staring at her diamond ring.

"So lovely."

"Even if you're pretty, you can't stand looking at me all night. Aren't you tired?" she said, and started to lie down.

"I'm not filming tomorrow, so talk to me."

Li Qiutang had no choice but to sit up again.

"You didn't see the way your girlfriends looked at your ring, their eyes were practically shining." Tonight really satisfied Liu Yifei's vanity.

Liu Yifei said, "They should be envious of me tonight, humph."

"You've put it on. Put it away. Who sleeps with a diamond ring on? Aren't you afraid it'll hurt you?"

"I'm happy even if it hurts. You have good taste; the style you picked is beautiful." She was still looking.

"I did it with a designer, so of course it's pretty good."

How much did you pay for this ring?

"No amount of money is too much when it comes to spending it on you." These words made Liu Yifei completely lose her senses.

"Husband, you are so kind."

"Honey, go to sleep now, I'm really sleepy."

Li Qiutang fell asleep, but Liu Yifei stayed awake until dawn, constantly thinking about one question: "I'm getting married. What does it really feel like?"
