After the excitement, Shen Jintai was sitting in the car looking at his phone. He had calmed down and felt a little tired. Since today was his birthday, Li Meilan told him he needed to post on Weibo to interact with his fans. It was also the day when new episodes of <The East Place is Coming> premieres, so there were many hot searches related to the drama.
The hottest search though was "Shen Jintai's Birthday."
When you're popular, birthdays are a big deal, at least to the fans. They were quite generous. His birthday celebration was themed "The 29th of the twelfth lunar month. Gold powder will accompany you forever" and the party was still ongoing in a lively state late into the night*.
*Translations help: (无人机表白都是小case了) I omitted this because I have no idea what it's trying to say and made no sense with the rest of the translation. Something about drone confession in a small case?
From Time Square New York to the bustling streets of Shibuya in Tokyo, to the most lively and prosperous commercial centers of the 34 top cities in China, along with commercial boxes on major subway stations, were all looping greeting videos and warm wishes for Shen Jintai.
Gold powder's prosperity had finally reappeared into the world and today they will accompany Shen Jintai with their golden light!
Shen Jintai had been watching these videos on his way back to the hotel. Tears filled his eyes. Even someone as worldly as Mrs. Yan was dumbstruck to see such a grand birthday celebration for him.
This was the pure love of millions of people. Shen Jintai posted a thank you Weibo, accompanied by a photo of him making a wish and blowing out the candle on set with the text: [I wish to be with you, and for you to be with me, forever.]
As soon as it was posted, Weibo exploded.
"Brother, don't worry, gold powder will always follow!"
"Always be with you! Always be with you and call you brother every day!"
"Long-term! Long-term! I'll accompany you forever!"
"Have we received all our blessings? Be sure to pay attention to your body."
Though he knew his fans loved him, he was able to climb to the top hot search on his birthday due the blessing of other celebrities like Song Wei, Yang Lizhi, Bai Qingquan, Zheng Siqi and many others. Even artists from Monsoon Entertainment, whether he was familiar with them or not sent him birthday wishes.
The rich have distant relatives in the mountains*!
*Full saying is No one asks the poor and downtrodden, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains (贫居闹市无人问，富在深山有远亲) = idiom nobody talks to the poor, and everyone claim they're connected somehow to the rich . Excerpt from Zeng Guan Xian Wen. || In this context it means every celebrity claims they are good friends with Shen Jintai because his fans.
Shen Jintai, perhaps due to drinking a bit too much, was a bit tired and his heart soften. He replied to all the warm wishes from his friends and acquaintances.
When he reached the hotel, he found they have prepared him a birthday gift. The manager personally came to congratulate him and gave him a bouquet of flowers when he entered the lobby.
"Thank you." Shen Jintai hugged the flowers and took pictures with the people in the hotel. When he returned to his room, he found that there was also a bouquet of flowers on the table in the room. Between the red roses, there was a bottle of red wine.
"It has finally calmed down." Mrs. Yan picked up the wine, took a look, and said: "This wine is okay."
Shen Jintai put away the card and put down the flowers in his arms.
