Now looking at Shen Yao, who had clearly become whiter again, Zhou Ya Nan's eyes turned red, not with jealousy, but with anger.
Was there any justice left? Someone who was already fair and tender was getting even whiter, while she was dark and gloomy, crying her eyes out.
"That might be because I'm in the countryside, the environment is good, and there isn't as much ultraviolet light, so I've become whiter. Besides, Ya Nan, haven't you noticed you've also become much whiter?" Shen Yao said.
Not only Zhou Ya Nan, but even Xia Chao and Wang Qian Qian had become fairer.
"Really? Why don't I feel it?" Zhou Ya Nan asked doubtfully.
Shen Yao knew why. Because she, Xia Chao, and Wang Qian Qian were always together. While Zhou Ya Nan was getting whiter, Xia Chao and Wang Qian Qian were also getting whiter.
"It's true. If you don't believe me, ask Chao Chao and the others to look at you."
As soon as Shen Yao finished speaking, Zhou Ya Nan asked Xia Chao and Wang Qian Qian to look at her. Upon closer inspection, she had indeed become much fairer.
What was once a very healthy wheatish complexion had now become much whiter.
"Ah!!!"
Zhou Ya Nan screamed and jumped with excitement, only calming down after a while.
"Yao Yao, do you still have the lychees you sent last time? My parents want some to give as gifts," Wang Qian Qian said at this moment.
A few days ago, when Shen Huai Min went to sell Concubine Laughing Lychees, Shen Yao had asked her elder brother Shen to send express packages to Xia Chao and the others.
One box each, ten catties per box. So when Xia Chao and the others received the express packages, after keeping two catties for themselves, they had the rest sent home by others.
Zhou Ya Nan's lychees had also been sent home by express.
After their families ate the lychees, they all found them delicious and wanted to buy more.
For families like theirs, the people they wanted to gift to were definitely influential figures.
Ordinary items would not catch their eye, so it was imaginable how delicious Shen Yao's family's lychees were.
"There aren't many Concubine Laughing Lychees, but there are other varieties like Gui Wei, Ding Xiang, Bai Tang Li, and Hei Ye Li..."
Shen Yao counted the lychees on her mountain, and upon careful counting, she found that her family had as many as seven or eight varieties of lychees.
"There's also Nuo Mi Ci, but that will have to wait another month."
Hearing Shen Yao's words, Xia Chao and the other two couldn't help but swallow.
If they hadn't eaten Shen Yao's family's lychees before, it would have been fine. But after eating them, they were completely addicted. If their graduation theses hadn't been pending, they would have wanted to rush to Shen Yao's home to eat their fill.
"I want them all, as many as you have," Xia Chao quickly said. "Don't worry, my family has money. My grandfather gives gifts to rich people, so you can charge more."
Shen Yao smiled and shook her head. "Chao Chao, does Grandpa Xia know how filial you are?"
"It's okay. My mom said these are even more delicious than the ones she bought for over 500 yuan a catty. You can charge more if you want," Xia Chao waved her hand carelessly.
Wang Qian Qian and Zhou Ya Nan also nodded repeatedly, "That's right, that's right. We want every variety, and money is not an issue."
Shen Yao's family's lychees were much more delicious than those so-called imported lychees that were hyped up to the skies. Moreover, the money was going to Shen Yao's family, so it was like keeping the good fortune within the family.
Another reason was that if they ordered more, they could eat more when they returned, right?
"Then how about I leave one tree of each variety for you? But you might have to find someone to transport them back yourselves," Shen Yao said.
"One tree? Isn't that a bit little?" Zhou Ya Nan said. Having grown up in the south, she naturally knew the yield of lychee trees.
"It's not little," Shen Yao said. "One tree has 700 to 800 catties. If you have one tree of each variety, that's several thousand catties. Can you finish eating them?"
Shen Yao calculated the weight and felt that her friends would need several months to finish them.
"What! How can there be so many?" Zhou Ya Nan was shocked. The best she had seen was 400 catties per tree, but Shen Yao said there were 800 catties per tree!
That was double the amount!
"Perhaps my trees are just very well-behaved," Shen Yao said with a serious expression.
Weren't they well-behaved? They grew a lot and were delicious, and there weren't even any wormholes!
"Yao Yao, please, I want to see. I want to see what lychees look like on the tree. I want to see what a lychee tree that can produce 800 catties looks like."
Xia Chao, Wang Qian Qian, and Zhou Ya Nan looked at Shen Yao with hopeful eyes.
Shen Yao: ...
"Alright then. My fans also want to see my lychees, so how about I do a livestream tomorrow?" Shen Yao said.
"Fans? What fans?" the three asked in unison.
Uh...
"It's just that, after I came back, I planned to convert the family's guesthouse into a farmhouse inn and then shoot some videos for promotion. I didn't expect it to become popular."
Shen Yao's tone was clearly a little hesitant. Could she say that she had actually forgotten to tell them? Even her family didn't know that she had posted videos online.
That's right, the videos Shen Yao posted on V Station, after the second aerial shot, completely exploded online. Simultaneously popular was her first-person view of the waxberries.
Even though Shen Yao had never interacted with her fans from beginning to end, her consistent daily videos had retained most of them.
During this period, because the content of her daily videos was different – sometimes clearing land, sometimes repairing roads, sometimes fruits, sometimes renovation – it had piqued the fans' curiosity to the highest level. They pleaded with Shen Yao to update ten or eight videos a day, and begged Shen Yao to provide her address so they could experience it. Of course, some also said Shen Yao's videos were staged.
In any case, all sorts of comments were endless, but when Shen Yao saw her fans arguing with other netizens, she felt she should do something.
Since Xia Chao and the others wanted to see, it would be better to do a livestream.
Xia Chao: !!!
Wang Qian Qian: !!!
Zhou Ya Nan: !!!
Their little sister had done such a big thing behind their backs!
This shock reached its peak when they saw Shen Yao's follower count.
"Yao Yao, you've only been back for more than half a month, and you already have over 500,000 followers!" Wang Qian Qian was completely flustered.
It wasn't just her. Wang Qian Qian was also a V Station blogger. She was a talent streamer, and her major was in performance, so it was quite relevant to her profession.
Wang Qian Qian had started trying to livestream in her junior year. With her beautiful appearance and her unintentional display of wealth, she had directly become a small streamer with tens of thousands of followers.
After nearly two years of accumulation, Wang Qian Qian had already reached one million followers. However, she had never seen a blogger gain over 500,000 followers in just over half a month.
"Thank you, Sister Yao, for broadening my horizons!" Wang Qian Qian bowed to Shen Yao.
Shen Yao smiled and said to Wang Qian Qian, "Thank you, Sister Qian, for your praise. Please guide me more, senior."
After chatting with Shen Yao for a few more sentences, Xia Chao and the others hung up the video call and quickly clicked into Shen Yao's account.
They browsed Shen Yao's videos repeatedly, drooling over the bright red lychees and waxberries, and marveling at the exquisite guesthouse...
Then, upon seeing the negative comments in the comment section, the three immediately retaliated on their phones.
