Chapter 41: Qi Wu, Fallen Angel

Translator: CTCTRANS Editor: CTCTRANS

After Qi Wu obediently ate one lemon candy, Tong Luo suddenly let out a gasp.

Qi Wu carefully put away the jar of lemon candy, placing it on the bedside table beside her.

She then tilted her head in question at Tong Luo’s abrupt response. “What’s wrong?”

“I forgot to tell you, Qi Wu. You’re famous!”

Tong Luo rushed over and hugged Qi Wu around the shoulders. Her voice was trembling with audible excitement as she exclaimed, “Everyone is talking about you on the Internet!”

She was genuinely happy for Qi Wu.

With just one promotional picture, Qi Wu was able to stand out from the crowd and dominate conversations despite the popularity of the other contestants. One could say that she was blessed by the gods.

It was the complete opposite of the post with Tong Luo which was flooded by comments bashing on her.

She might have felt envious or jealous before. In fact, she might even resent Qi wu.

Now? She understood just why those people might be attracted to Qi Wu.

Her impeccable skin might be a gift from the gods, but the kindness and sincerity found underneath the beauty was entirely Qi Wu.

“Are you happy?

However, Qi Wu, the person who was now famous, did not really react. She calmly looked at Tong Luo as she asked her question.

After a pause, Tong Luo replied, “Yes. I’m happy for you.”

Despite her relaxed tone of voice, there was an unmistakable trace of sorrow in it.

Once upon a time, she, too, was a star of the internet.

Less than two years later, she was left with nothing.

If it were not for the insults reminding her of that, she would have thought it was all just a dream.

Suddenly, Qi Wu’s soft and clear voice echoed through the air. “I’m happy for you too.”

Tong Luo dazedly looked up with confusion in her eyes.

Qi Wu lowered her beautiful eyes which were as vast and unintentionally alluring as the night sky.

“This is just the first step for you.”

The most beautiful thing in the world was hope that had been ignited in the midst of desperation.

Once more, Tong Luo wrapped Qi Wu in a hug.

Qi Wu was not surprised by the embrace and gently patted Tong Luo on the back with a gentle look in her eyes. She looked just like a benevolent goddess full of love and mercy.

“Sometimes, it feels like the two of us aren’t around the same age at all,” Tong Luo abruptly said.

She continued, “I always find myself reassured by you…”

There was a faint smile on Qi Wu’s face.

To a certain extent, priestesses were the spiritual support of the people. Those who believed in her and respected her prayed that she could chase away their sorrows and bring hope back to them.

That was what she did.

She exorcized, blessed, guided them to their fate, performed ceremonies and prayers…However, as the years went by, the Temple was doomed to disappear into the darkness of the night one day.

Tong Luo abruptly looked up with a solemn look on her face. “I got it!”

“Perhaps this is the power of an idol! I’ve never admired anyone before. You’re the first, Qi Wu!”

You are my eternal flame.

Tong Luo kept that thought to herself.

Meanwhile, Jin Si, who was still in the car, received a call from Chang Xun.

He planned on ignoring the call, but Chang Xun was persistent and did not take the hint to stop calling.

Annoyed, Jin Si answered the phone and coldly barked out, “What is it?”

As someone who had dealt with Jin Si for three years, Chang Xun soon realized that Jin Si was in his usual crazy state of mind.

However, he was so excited at the moment that he did not care about Jin Si’s bad mood.

“Jin, have you looked online? Everyone’s talking about Qi Wu. Just one promotional post is enough to make her one of the top trending topics of the day. Everyone is now scouring the internet for information on her!”

“What?”

Jin Si frowned. His voice was laced with a rather strange emotion.

As Chang Xun was still overwhelmed by his excitement, he continued to exclaim, “I just knew it! When have I ever been wrong? Qi Wu’s beauty is enough to make her go viral!”

However, what Jin Si said in the next moment extinguished all traces of Chang Xun’s excitement. It was like pouring a bucket of icy water over a fire.

Chang Xun remained speechless for a few long minutes.

Eventually, he let out an awkward chuckle as he did his best to salvage the situation.

“Anyway, she’s here for you. Life back home is much more comfortable now that she’s not bothering you all the time, right? I’m helping her set new goals and establish independence. That’s what all women should have these days!”

If Chang Xun were not that scared of Jin Si, he would have rolled his eyes. He wanted Qi Wu to focus on her career so that she would not be so hung up on Jin Si like some lovesick fool.

After all the effort he put into his speech, the only reply he got was cold, mean, and short. “You need a doctor.”

The moment Jin Si hung up, Chang Xun finally caved into the urge to fill the air with curses so bad that they needed to be censored.

Realization soon struck Chang Xun.

As he had only planned for Qi Wu to have some fun for a brief while, he did not have the time to instruct her on anything else.

With how popular Qi Wu was, it would not be long before agencies knocked on her door.

“That won’t do!”

Chang Xun let out a soft curse. He found Qi Wu first! Even if Jin Si did not want her in his agency, Chaoqi Group would not be of the same mind.

After hanging up, Jin Si did not put down his phone.

When silence continued for a few long minutes, Lou Ying cautiously glanced behind him through the rearview mirror.

He found Jin Si coldly scrolling through social media.

Lou Ying was speechless.

Was there a secret side to Jin Si?

For example, was he someone who said one thing but meant another?

The moment Jin Si opened up social media, he was immediately greeted by the post by the official account of “Rookie Assembly.”

He tapped into Qi Wu’s poster.

The production team must have noticed Qi Wu’s popularity because they had her promotional poster published in a separate post.

The other promotional posters that were published by themselves were all for participants who were well-known. Qi Wu was the only individual that no one on the internet knew about.

‘D*mn, is she a fallen angel?’

‘She redefines the word, “Rookie.” I love it!’

‘She’s someone who stands out from the crowd.’

‘What’s her social media handle? Rookie Assembly. be smart and hand it over!’

Through the hard work of random internet strangers, #QiWuFallenAngel has been trending on every corner of the internet.

Qi Wu did not have any PR department to help her out. The production team was not helping her either. She was trending solely because of strangers.

Jin Si calmly looked at Qi Wu’s poster.

She was wearing the same uniform as everyone else and just sat there, silently staring into the camera.

Even so, Jin Si was enthralled by her eyes.

The light of his phone screen shining on his icy face highlighted the darkness shimmering in his eyes which were as dark and mysterious as a dark hole..
