Trapped In Idol Drama
Chapter 4 - Empty Numbers (1 )

Ye Xi watched him chew on his salad, wondering if he would have a chance to eat again later.

While An Mudie noisily finished chewing on her salad, Ye Xi considered that the salad seemed to taste good, so she decided to take more for herself later.

A Mudie gulped down a little water before introducing herself, “By the way, my name is An Mudie. What's yours?"

“You Xi. ”

“Do you mean character, Ye, for 'leaves' and character, Xi, for 'west?' ”

“En. ”

"Can we be friends? If someone bullies you, I will protect you!” Determination flashed in An Mudie's eyes as she spoke.

Ye Xi looked at the girl's pure eyes and started to feel a little guilty. He replied lightly, "If I refuse to be your friend, will you stay alert and watch when people bully me?"

"No way!" The voice of a mudie exploded even louder, attracting the attention of the people sitting at the next table. However, he realized it too late, and quickly returned to himself in a futile attempt to reduce his presence.

Ye Xi could not help but laugh at An Mudie, only stopping to tease her. "Then let's make friends in the future" he said.

This surprised An Mudie. She discovered that Ye Xi's laughter looked very beautiful. Immediately, Ye Xi's excited atmosphere infected her, and she couldn't help but laugh. Making friends at this new school is so much fun.

Although Ye Xi and An Mudie officially established a friendship, their interactions did not change much.

A Mudie is born stupid and has no sense of propriety.

Ye Xi, on the other hand, had already reached an age where she could accept the implicit friendship calmly. In the adult world, there are many reasons to make friendships, most of which remain unspoken. Adults understand everything in secret, so not much change results from defining the relationship.

A Mudie ignored Ye Xi's silence, while she was constantly raving about her past, her observations at school, her hopes for the future, and so on.

Amidst the chatter, Ye Xi picked up another salad for herself. Surprisingly, even though the salad tasted good, it did not taste great. The reason why it was so attractive to Ye Xi, when An Mudie consumed it, must have come from the way she ate it.

After lunch, they decided to explore their dormitory.

On the way there, An Mudie praised the beautiful layout of the school.

Ye Xi could relate to it, as the campus also amazed her when she first arrived.

At this moment, Ye Xi heard the envious gossip between the two girls as they passed by.

Girl A: “I heard Ding Xiuxiu be a model?”

Girl B: “Good for her. She was the prettiest girl in the school, and Lin Meimei and Zhang Mengmeng, who were close to Ding Xiuxiu, also got the chance to appear in front of the camera. ”

It's all ABB names. What the fuck?

(T/N: ABB is a particular sequence of writing characters or Chinese names namely Lin 'May Mei' or Zhang 'Meng Meng')

Ye Xi disagreed at first, but, suddenly, an idea flashed through her mind, reminding her that she had ignored something important. However, the idea floated at the end of his mind, so he looked towards An Mudie to say, "I have something to do, you go to the dorm first."

With that said, Ye Xi stopped following An Mudie, turned the corner, and slipped into the nearby botanical garden.

This behavior confused An Mudie a little. However, Ye Xi asked politely, so she understood it better than following Ye Xi.

The blue stone pathway, wide enough for two people to walk side by side, leads from the entrance of the botanical garden. This path is curved and winding around a tree that grows thick stems and lush leaves — indicators that someone is nurturing and growing them faithfully. Around one of the bends, the trees grew so thick they blocked the road.

Ye Xi walked along the road and passed a blocked corner, when her gaze suddenly changed. A pond was laid at the end of the street, covering an area of about twenty square meters, surrounded by stone chairs, pavilions, and flowers planted along the border.

Ye Xi walked up to one of those stone chairs, sat down, and subconsciously looked at the lake. Many thoughts raged in his mind, and, for a moment, he was unable to find a single clue.

Ye Xi vaguely remembered reading a novel where the current situation resembled a plot. He complained about the names of the main characters, as well as the names of all kinds of villains there. He also complained that all of those names, except for the female protagonist's name, resembled the situation of buying one free one. But he read this novel a long time ago, so he could not remember anything about the book, making him want to punch his head.

But, why did he recall these memories now, the entire time?

In another world—

A young girl, a writer who writes online novels for a living, sleeps soundly, her body moving imperceptibly to her breath.

“Riiiiiiiing ~” mobile phone next to bed vibrate, sounding introductory retro song.

Wait for. The editor?

The female author was shocked upon waking up and stared at the phone screen for two seconds. Once he confirmed that this number belonged to his editor, he immediately answered the call.

"Hello darling. What's problem? ”

“Why did you modify the old script? Why do you assign a villain as the female lead? Why don't you fix your brain?"

This series of questions from the female editor left the female writer confused. Plainly, he asked, “What are you talking about? I didn't change anything.”

“Go and check for yourself. The title of the novel was 'Prince of the School Lord Falling in Love with me.'”

“Oh.” The female editor spoke so firmly that the female writer did not dare to disobey her.

After closing the call, the female author opens a web browser and logs in. He clicked on the old article and found that the protagonist's column was changed from An Mudie's delivery with Wei Shenglan to Ye Xi's delivery with Wei Shenglan.

Oh God. What-what the fuck????

The woman writer's face changed for a moment, and then she noticed that the title for the first three chapters also changed. So, he hurriedly opened it.

After reading the modified content, the female author laughed nonstop. To him, Ye Xi's original character setting collapsed and became extremely neurotic. What's on his mind? Is he the reincarnation of this world? Hahaha~

After she finished laughing, the female writer could only say one thing. This is not the change, ah!!!

Before he could figure it out, he found that he received a lot of negative responses. The negative review consisted of eight of its ten feedbacks, asking whether the author was exposed to the disease and reconstructing his plot in his illness? You've been setting this storyline for a few years, so why would you take the time to change the entire plot from scratch, idiot?

But some reviews also look different, say things like “See this new plot AHAHAHA!!,” “After the change, this new plot turns sour, it turns sour, and “I look forward to new developments in the future,” and soon.

The female writer sighed. This is what is called misfortune always comes along. First, his editor woke him up early in the morning for no reason. Second, someone stole his account, rewrote all of his work, and reduced his star rating to negative two. Did all this misfortune happen to him because he devoted himself to science, not to worship God and burn incense?

The female author picks up her phone and tries to call the editor, only to find that an unknown contact entry appears on the phone, labeled "Ye Xi."

Ye Xi's?

Crazy one?

Could it be that the perpetrator, who stole his account, even hacked his phone?

Oh God. How much does this man love me?

In her sour mood, the female author, clicking open this "Ye Xi" contact detail and finds that the phone number field is blank.

? ? ?

The female writer was silent. Only with the help of his small IQ could he truly not understand what was going on.

After that silence, the author cancelled his plan to report the matter to his editor and contacted a contact who did not even have a number. He would not be late if he asked the editor at a later time, when this call failed to connect. However, he felt very confident that this kind of contact would fail.

In the fictional world—.

Ye Xi had just managed to find something, when the ringing from her phone shocked her. He trembled in fear and sweat drenched his back. Immediately after calming himself down, he pulled out his phone, only to see an empty number calling.

For three seconds, Ye Xi considered whether she should hang up the phone or answer the call. However, the blank number tickled his curiosity, so he finally answered the call.

"Hello," the sweet voice of the woman spoke from the phone. However, the voice sounded somewhat abnormal, tinged with a tinge of trembling shock and excitement.

"Hello. You who? "asked Ye Xi.

"Your name is Ye Xi?"

Ye Xi was silent for a few seconds, proceeding carefully, “Who are you? Why do you know my name?”

“It.... emm.. It's a complicated situation.”

“Then, simplify.”
