I Love Her Because She’s Dim-Witted And Filthy Rich - Chapter 23

Su Miao, who had never had fans before, felt as if a door to a new world had opened. She tirelessly replied to every single comment she saw.

Duan Bainian told her that she didn’t need to reply to everyone and that picking a few to respond to would suffice. However, Su Miao refused with an air of righteousness. “Even though I don’t follow celebrities myself, I know how happy fans feel when they get a reply. I’m not busy right now anyway; I’ll reply to as many as I can.”

Seeing that Su Miao was enjoying herself, Duan Bainian stopped insisting and let her continue.

This replying spree lasted until the middle of the night. Su Miao had originally been in high spirits after waking up from a nap, but by one o’clock in the morning, she truly couldn’t hold on any longer. “Oh my god, Duan Bainian! Why are there more comments the more I reply? It’s simply never-ending!”

Duan Bainian thought to herself: This generation of fans is probably seeing a celebrity who replies to every single comment for the first time, right? Of course they’re all going to join in on the fun.

Duan Bainian reached out and took Su Miao’s phone. “You won’t be able to finish replying. It’s quite late; go to sleep early.”

Su Miao anxiously tried to grab the phone back. “Hey, wait a second! Let me finish this last one. I absolutely have to reply to this one.”

Duan Bainian placed the phone on the nightstand. “Stop replying. Go to sleep.”

Su Miao said urgently, “I can’t! In this comment, a fan asked me if there are any good TV dramas to watch. I was just about to recommend the ones you’re in. I’ve already typed half of it!”

Duan Bainian didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. In those dramas where she played the third or fourth female lead—basically “walking-on” roles—she probably didn’t even have thirty seconds of screen time per episode. What was there to recommend?

But seeing Su Miao’s earnest face, the words of refusal somehow wouldn’t come out.

This little fool was truly and seriously promoting her to others. Duan Bainian could even read the subtext from Su Miao’s expression: Hehe, my CP (couple partner) Duan Bainian is a very talented actress!

That kind of irrepressible pride in Su Miao’s eyes made Duan Bainian feel a faint sense of guilt.

Was she really that excellent in this little fool’s eyes?

In the future, would there come a day when that image would be shattered?

Duan Bainian snapped back to reality and realized that Su Miao had already finished replying to the last comment. She let out a soft sigh. “Now, should you finally go to sleep?”

The next morning, the newly minted “internet-addicted girl” hurriedly opened Weibo to see if there were any new comments.

A moment later, a hint of embarrassment surfaced on Su Miao’s face. “Duan Bainian… I… I think I’m on the trending searches again.”

Duan Bainian was somewhat surprised. Had the production crew bought another trending spot? She took the phone and looked, and immediately burst into laughter.

#SuMiaoLateNightOnlineChat was prominently featured at the top.

[My god! Is Su Miao really a total ditz? She actually chatted with fans in the comments section all night?]

[Hahaha, I’m laughing so hard I’m snorting like a pig! Su Miao’s manager: “This is the stupidest artist I’ve ever managed.”]

[Thanks, that gave me a good laugh.]

[Ahhhhh, what kind of divine little cutie is my daughter!!!! Mommy loves you!!]

[The person above is the real ditz! If you talk about my Miao Miao again, I’ll bash your dog head in!]

Briefly flipping through the comments, the feedback from netizens was actually quite good. At least everyone was laughing, and her reputation among the general public was decent.

The only side effect was… it probably solidified Su Miao’s persona as a “lovable ditz”…

Duan Bainian really wanted to laugh, but she felt it wasn’t quite right to do so at that moment. She lightly covered her mouth and adjusted her voice. “Isn’t this quite good? Look at how much the netizens like you.”

Su Miao said indignantly, “Why are the netizens talking nonsense? When did I chat all night? I only chatted for over three hours, okay?”

Duan Bainian echoed her repeatedly, “Yes, yes, yes, the netizens are indeed too much, just talking nonsense.”

Every inch of Su Miao’s expression screamed unhappiness. “Kindness is treated like dirt. I’m never replying to comments again.”

Duan Bainian said, “It hasn’t come to that. Look, the Weibo post you made a month ago has over ten thousand comments now. Look at my Weibo; the one I posted yesterday only has over two thousand comments. You’re famous now, don’t you know?”

Su Miao retorted, “How does this count as being famous? In a couple of days, the netizens will have forgotten all about me.”

Duan Bainian wanted to say something more, but a delivery call came through.

She went out to get the takeout and called Su Miao to eat.

Duan Bainian set the food out on the dining table, but after waiting for a long time, Su Miao still hadn’t come out. She got up and went back into the bedroom to see what Su Miao was doing.

As soon as she entered, she saw Su Miao giggling foolishly again.

Duan Bainian: “…”

What is up with this fool? When I say she’s silly, does she really have to be silly for me every second of the day?

Duan Bainian called out, “Time to eat. What are you doing?”

Only then did Su Miao look up from her phone, her expression full of a desire for praise. “Duan Bainian! Go check my latest Weibo post, quick!”

With a look of suspicion, Duan Bainian opened Weibo and clicked into Su Miao’s homepage.

Three minutes ago, Su Miao had updated her Weibo:

[Does everyone like looking at beautiful sisters? Let me recommend a few TV dramas to you all! “Days Ahead Are Long,” “I Like That You Like Me,” and “Legend of Concubine Yan.” They all feature the beautiful sister @DuanBainian! They are especially good! You all must go watch them!]

Duan Bainian was stunned. “Why did you post something like this?”

Su Miao said with a proud look, “In a couple of days, everyone won’t remember me anymore. While I’m still a little popular, I have to hurry and promote you! Hehe, aren’t I smart?”

Looking at the proud Su Miao, Duan Bainian was speechless for a long time.

Yes, you’re very smart. You’re the smartest among the fools.

You know that fans will be happy to receive a reply from their idol.

You know how to use your popularity to promote me in a timely manner.

But why don’t you know that I like you?
