This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 357 - 293: Is Wu’s Birthday Celebration This Grand?
Chapter 357: Chapter 293: Is Wu’s Birthday Celebration This Grand?
The scene ended, and it was already past one in the morning.
They drove for over an hour before they finally returned to the hotel where they were staying.
Then, after getting back, Wu Mu received the birthday gift Lin Qingyue had mentioned earlier.
It was a medium-sized oil painting.
The painting depicted a large cherry blossom tree, blooming with countless pink and white petals, beneath which a figure lay on the grass.
Lin Qingyue still had a smile on her face, "This should be enough for you to hang in your house."
Wu Mu gazed at the leisurely version of himself enjoying the springtime depicted in the painting for a few seconds and chuckled lightly, "Then I’ll have to treasure it, in case I need to auction it off if I ever go bankrupt."
"Then I guess by that time, except for me, no one else will buy it," Lin Qingyue laughed.
"All right, get some rest early, we have to shoot tomorrow... I’ll start with the outdoor scenes and call you later."
"Okay, Ah Yao and the others have messaged me, I’ll sleep as soon as I reply."
This might just be one of the perks of being a celebrity.
For ordinary people, except for close friends, hardly anyone pays attention to their birthdays.
But for celebrities, especially those as famous as Wu Mu, it seemed like everyone knew when their birthday was.
Not only did Mo Mo, Sun Yueqing, and Lu Yao all send birthday wishes right on time, but other friends who had his contact also messaged him.
Even though he hadn’t organized anything online, it seemed to spontaneously turn into a trend for his birthday.
Wu Mu reviewed the messages and started replying to his friends’ birthday wishes.
It seemed like all his friends were waiting for his replies because they quickly responded right back.
After this interaction, it took until past two in the morning to finish replying.
Wu Mu took a shower and lay down in bed.
But...
"Ah, birthdays."
Wu Mu sighed softly.
He hadn’t felt anything before being reminded, but now that he was reminded that it was his birthday, he couldn’t help but think about his past birthdays.
He thought about the birthdays he spent on Earth with family and friends.
His company, the employees, the game he hadn’t finished, the players waiting for game updates.
Everything familiar on Earth was now unreachable.
And then... his parents.
"Dad has a new wife and a new son, he probably wouldn’t be too upset knowing I’m dead," Wu Mu muttered to himself softly.
"Ha-ha, I didn’t hang on to him, but Dad got himself a little one to cling to, the money I left in the company should be enough for him to live out the rest of his life."
"Mom... next year I won’t be able to visit her grave in the Mountain District, and I don’t know if Dad will take it seriously. I wonder if they cleared the bamboo next to her grave that I mentioned before, and I forgot to have them re-cement the area around her grave too."
"That’s right, next year I’ll try burning some money for her here, ha-ha, let’s see if she can receive it."
Wu Mu looked up at the ceiling of the hotel room, staring blankly for a while, then he sighed deeply.
After tossing and turning for a while and still feeling wide awake, he simply opened the system panel, "Atong, give me a song or tune suitable for now!"
....
Wu Mu himself didn’t remember his birthday, but there were quite a few people who did outside.
And even though there was no organization online, some excitement still erupted on its own.
Time rewinds to about three or four hours ago.
Beijing, in Zhang Li’s apartment.
Today, as usual, Han Yan came over to sleep, but she was unusually distracted.
After turning to her best friend again and realizing she seemed oblivious while watching TV, Han Yan couldn’t hold back anymore, "It’s almost Wu’s birthday in a few hours, right?"
Zhang Li put down her phone, still acting nonchalant, "You still remember?"
Hmph, stop pretending, you definitely remember too!
Han Yan glared at her; normally, she would have thoroughly checked her best friend’s phone by now to see if she had secretly prepared any birthday surprises.
But at that moment, she wasn’t really in the mood.
She sighed deeply, "How could I forget? Remember two years ago? Our group organized a meet to see him, and we participated too. It was raining that day, and we waited outside his company building for over an hour... We were so dumb back then, completely self-absorbed."
"But he was pretty adorable back then, not in the office, he rushed over from home, distributed hot cocoa to everyone, and sang songs underneath his office building with everyone joining in. Ha-ha, I remember he even got a cold from that, and couldn’t attend the program the next day."
Han Yan’s face was nostalgic.
As former die-hard fans of Wu Mu, they participated in numerous fan group offline events.
It was precisely because they were so invested and the memories so vivid that they felt so bad after Wu Mu’s downfall.
But after all, those events were already two years ago.
If they hadn’t still been following his shows after distancing themselves from fandom, they probably would have almost forgotten about it by now, at most laughing at themselves occasionally for being silly.
How could she forget like this today, when she keeps following that dog’s shows as intensely as when she was a fan!
Zhang Li, an even deeper "Anti-fan" than her, watched even more openly and burst out laughing, "Why don’t you go check out his company again now? Oh, he’s currently filming in the Mountain District, not too far away."
"I’m not that foolish, running over there now would not only mean no hot cocoa, that dog might even chase people away."
