Chарtеr 24: Dаn Вао’s Plaуful Niсknаmе, Рreparing tо Gо Homе!
“Sister Li, cоntасt thе соmpаnу—I wаnt the sоng ‘Hаppу Вreаkup.’”
Liаng Yоngхin said firmlу tо her mаnаgеr, dеtеrminеd tо seсure thе sоng.
Liang Yongxin, a tоp-tiеr singer undеr Luо Shеn Мedia, is rеvered аs thе “Quееn of Lоve Sоngs,” renownеd fоr hеr sоul-stirring аnd deеply emоtiоnаl реrformancеs.
In hеr viеw, “Hаpрy Brеаkuр” wаs tailor-mаdе for her. Тhe emоtiоns соnveуеd by its melody and lyrics рerfесtlу аlignеd with the уears of dеdicаtion аnd insight she hаd poured into the realm of love songs.
She was also confident that no one in the entire company could interpret this song better than she could.
In fact, it wasn’t just Liang Yongxin. Almost all singers and creators had crowded into Luo Qingxu’s livestream the moment they received the news.
Some came to investigate, some to mock, and others purely to gather information. Yet, almost no one genuinely believed from the start that a pampered young lady, who had just entered the music industry, could produce many noteworthy Works.
It wasn’t until “A Diao” burst onto the scene that Everyone had no choice but to look at Luo Qingxu in a new light and take her seriously.
Even though Luo Qingxu had already successfully created three songs by this point, many stubbornly refused to believe that these Works were completed solely through her own efforts.
They were more inclined to believe that Luo Shen Media had provided full support and packaging to promote this young lady.
“Time’s up! That’s all for today’s livestream. Winners, remember to contact my assistant Xiao Kui through the backend. Goodbye~”
Luo Qingxu bid farewell cheerfully, after all, a workhorse always Looks Forward To clocking out with anticipation and joy.
Just then, Luo Qingxu’s phone suddenly Rang Out. Seeing that the caller was her dear mother, she answered in a bit of a fluster but accidentally switched to speakerphone.
“Dan Bao, are you still angry with Mommy for not coming home?”
At the moment the livestream abruptly cut off, netizens happened to catch this gentle, melodious, and affectionate Female Voice, along with Luo Qingxu’s slightly flustered reply: “How many times have I said it? Don’t call me Dan Bao…”
That’s right. The imposing, domineering, refined, and elegant… (Alright, I can’t come up with any more) Miss Luo had a very down-to-earth nickname: Dan Bao.
When she was young, Luo Qingxu was frail and often fell ill. Dad Luo and Mom Luo, having heard the old saying that “a humble name ensures a sturdy life,” pondered giving their precious daughter a nickname.
At first, they planned to follow the trend and choose a straightforward name like “Dog Egg.” But upon second thought, the name was too common. If they called it out back in the village, a dozen or so “Dog Eggs” might respond in unison.
So, they had a stroke of inspiration. Since it was “Dog Egg” and she was their precious one, why not simply call her “Egg Treasure” (Dan Bao)?
And just like that, the nickname “Dan Bao” was casually decided.
However, as Luo Qingxu grew older, she began to feel embarrassed about this nickname and no longer allowed her family to call her by it.
Dad Luo usually called her “Little Treasure,” her older siblings affectionately referred to her as “Little Five” or “Fifth Sister,” and her younger brothers kept it simple and direct, just calling her “Sister.”Only Mom Luo would occasionally indulge in a bit of “mischief,” deliberately calling out “Dan Bao” a couple of times, teasing Luo Qingxu into a mix of embarrassment and frustration, yet leaving her with no choice.
Little did she know, this affectionate “Dan Bao” triggered the “entertainment button” in her fans. Not only did they start calling themselves “Egg Burgers,” but they also quietly changed the fan super-topic to “Egg Burger Camp” and began altering their online usernames one after another.
This Dan Bao is not that Dan Bao: [Fail, just found out today that Luo Qingxu’s childhood nickname is Dan Bao]
Dan Bao is also my treasure: [No matter which Bao, they’re all my treasure!]
Dan Bao is my favorite: [Egg burgers are really delicious]
Is it the Dan Bao from egg burgers?: [Today’s harvest: Got two new songs; biggest harvest: Got Luo Xiaozhu’s childhood nickname]
Protect the best Dan Bao: [Is anyone contacting the manager to confirm which two characters “dànbǎo” actually are?]
Chaos ensues, protect Xiaozhu: [The manager is the famous Sister Jun, can anyone actually reach her?]
…
After finishing her phone call, Luo Qingxu sat on the living room sofa in a daze. Xiao Kui walked in and out several times, wanting to talk to her but afraid of disturbing her.
An hour and a half had passed, and during this time, Luo Qingxu’s thoughts had tangled into a messy ball of yarn.
“What should I do? What should I do? I’m finally going to meet Mom and Dad.”
“What if they find out I’m not the real Luo Qingxu? Will I be sent away for experiments?”
“How should I interact with my parents? Will every word I say give me away?”
…And so on. Luo Qingxu, who never overthought things, now found her thoughts traveling 40,076 kilometers (circling the Earth once).
“Luo Luo, are you worried about going home tomorrow?” Xiao Kui hesitated for three minutes before finally interrupting Luo Qingxu.
Luo Qingxu was As If Awakening from a Dream. Right, agonizing over it wouldn’t lead to any results. It would be better to ask for others’ opinions.
“Xiao Kui, how do you interact with your parents when you go home?”
Xiao Kui thought seriously for a moment before replying, “Probably a treasure for the first three days, then a weed afterward.”
“What do you mean by that?” Hearing this, Luo Qingxu instantly perked up.
In her previous life, Luo Qingxu’s parents had tragically passed away in an accident when she was sixteen. From then on, she had stumbled through life alone, never having the chance to experience the warmth and changes parents bring when leaving and returning home.
In “Luo Qingxu’s” memories, aside from occasional trips or short stays at her grandfather’s house, she had never been away from home for such a long time.
Moreover, as a student who always prioritized her studies, she rarely had opportunities to be away from home for extended periods.
“For the first three days, you’re a rare treasure—clothes handed to you, meals served to you.”
“After three days, the treasure experience card expires. Everything about you at home becomes annoying. Sleeping in gets you scolded, not eating enthusiastically gets you scolded, taking too long in the bathroom gets you scolded… In short, even breathing feels wrong.”
Xiao Kui, true to her Northeastern roots—where everyone is practically a stand-up comedian—left Luo Qingxu stunned. Once she processed it, she couldn’t help but laugh…
The next day, after waking up naturally, Luo Qingxu packed up and prepared to go home!
Just as the car drove out of Bihai Bay, the driver suddenly slammed on the brakes.The driver cursed, then quickly turned to apologize to Luo Qingxu after realizing his outburst, explaining the situation clearly.
“Miss! Are you alright? Sorry, someone suddenly darted out and blocked the car.”
He had finally landed this high-paying, easy job—if he got fired over this incident, the loss would be huge.
“I’m fine!” Luo Qingxu replied calmly.
In reality, the moment she was thrown forward by inertia, it felt like her soul could barely keep up with her body’s speed.
Fortunately, she always remembered: seatbelt, lifeline—even in the back seat, buckle up tight!
“A scammer? Just call the police!”
She’d seen many similar stories online. The best approach was to call the police directly and let the officers handle it on the spot.
“Luo Qingxu! Get out, I know you’re in the car!”
