“Mhm,” Ye Shaohua smiled. “Hello, I am Bù Fù Sháohuá.”
Everyone present fell silent for a moment.
That voice was unmistakable.
But… if she was Bù Fù Sháohuá, then what about the photos online…
And that Weibo post Ran Mo had just made… Qing Cheng Se and the others finally snapped out of their daze induced by the pair’s stunning looks.
Their gazes then shifted to Ran Mo.
Ran Mo’s mind was reeling. First shocked by Sky Snow’s deception, and now seeing Ye Shaohua appear like this, he was utterly speechless, just standing rooted to the spot.
Qing Cheng Se shot Ye Shaohua a look. “A… fatty? Told us not to laugh at you? Great Author Bù Fù, I really, really want to hit you!”
“Now, now,” Ye Shaohua took the suitcase from her. “Let’s go. I’ve booked a hotel. We can rest first.”
Qing Cheng Se glanced at Ran Mo, her eyes glinting. She then looked at Yun Xiao beside Ye Shaohua. “Great Author, tell me honestly. Is this Yun Xiao, the great author? I’ve always thought there was something going on between you two.”
“Call you Detective, alright,” Yun Xiao took the suitcase from Ye Shaohua and handed out the coffee he was holding to everyone with a light chuckle. “Let’s go. The driver is waiting.”
He didn’t spare Ran Mo and the others a single glance.
Ran Mo’s group stood there dumbfounded. Ye Ruxue called their names several times, but they didn’t react at all.
In the hotel.
Qing Cheng Se showed Ye Shaohua her phone. “Rolling on the floor laughing! That Ran Mo deleted that Weibo post and unfollowed Sky Snow. This is just too hilarious!”
Ye Shaohua responded with a mild acknowledgment.
She didn’t pay much attention to someone like Ran Mo.
Because she had received a message from Wu Kai.
Bù Fù Sháohuá: Since filming has started, I’ll post the ending online.
Wu Kai: Okay, Miss Ye. I’ll repost it immediately. Send me the link after you post.
Ye Shaohua logged into Weibo and directly pasted the final chapter of ‘Wan Shen Cang Qiong’.
Strangely, there weren’t many notifications.
She didn’t pay it much mind.
“Ah, Director Wu Kai has been begging for the copyright for ages. I wonder if the great author Ye Liu will sell it,” Qing Cheng Se refreshed Ye Liu’s Weibo page. “Over a hundred thousand comments already, and the great author Ye Liu remains as aloof as ever.”
Shan He Ri Yue beside her agreed deeply. “Just getting the audio drama adaptation rights felt miraculous enough.”
“The rights have already been given,” Ye Shaohua put away her phone, speaking nonchalantly. “The official character photos should be released soon.”
“How do you know?” The two were taken aback.
Ye Shaohua smiled. “Inside info. The rights went to Tian Cheng. Filming should start soon.”
“No way,” Qing Cheng Se felt a surge of excitement before shaking her head. “The great author Ye Liu hasn’t responded to Director Wu Kai at all. Ahhh, this is so annoying.”
Ye Shaohua: “…”
Just then, Qing Cheng Se’s partner, Qing Mei Guo, burst into the room without knocking, her face flushed. She looked at Ye Shaohua, stammering, “B-Bù Fù! A-Are you… the great author Ye Liu?!”
Qing Cheng Se was startled by Qing Mei Guo’s words.
She thought her partner was joking. “No way, CP, what are you thinking?”
Qing Mei Guo’s expression was serious. “No, look at this.”
She showed her phone screen to Qing Cheng Se.
Qing Cheng Se and Shan He Ri Yue looked and were also stunned. After a long moment, they stared blankly at Ye Shaohua.
Ye Shaohua narrowed her eyes and took Qing Mei Guo’s phone.
Displayed on the screen was a Weibo post that had been reposted several times.
Yun Xiao: Great Author, your secret identity is blown! // @v Tian Cheng Entertainment: Thank you for the authorization, great author Ye Liu! Tian Cheng Entertainment will not disappoint the countless readers! Official character photos will be released tomorrow! // @Bù Fù Sháohuá: The film and TV adaptation rights for ‘Wan Shen Cang Qiong’ are with Tian Cheng Entertainment. Also, the final chapter link is here:
Clicking into the original post.
Bù Fù Sháohuá’s previously modest tens of thousands of followers from the web voice acting circle had skyrocketed to over three million and were still climbing rapidly.
In just a few minutes.
Comments had reached over fifty thousand.
Ye Shaohua: “…”
She had been talking to Qing Cheng Se and completely forgotten she was still logged into the Bù Fù Sháohuá account.
She looked up. Qing Cheng Se and the others were staring at her.
“Let me explain.”
Qing Cheng Se’s face was flushed with excitement. “No… Great Author… Great Author Ye Liu! I actually know the great author Ye Liu! The living, breathing Great Author Ye Liu! Don’t speak, let me just… admire you properly!”
Ye Shaohua: “…” As long as you’re happy.
After Ye Shaohua’s Weibo went viral, the web voice acting and 2D community exploded.
Especially after the information about the great author Ye Liu was updated on the online encyclopedia.
Ye Liu, real name Ye Shaohua, age 19, graduate student at MIT, author of ‘Wan Shen Cang Qiong’, and ‘Four-Dimensional Space Theory’…
Including a photo of her.
“I’ve been cursing out my own goddess all this time!”
“Great Author, I’m so sorry QAQ!”
“Ran Mo got served, huh? It was Sky Snow who was lying all along. How dare you use a fake photo to deceive us? Aren’t you guys the disgusting ones?”
“Actress Qin came from a rural background and made it internationally on her own. Her daughter is an even more formidable figure. I’m impressed.”
“Publishing a paper in Science… Say no more, just that alone has my respect…”
“…”
One particular comment caught everyone’s attention.
“Um… have any of you searched for the great author Yun Xiao? His real name is Yun Xiao. Search for him on foreign websites. After you search, you’ll come back and upvote my comment.”
Some fans went to search for “Yun Xiao” on domestic sites.
Only one result appeared: 【Due to laws and regulations, the search term has been blocked.】
They had no choice but to use a VPN to search on foreign sites.
After searching, these people silently returned and gave that comment an upvote.
Meanwhile, Chu Yan was busy because of the news released by Tian Cheng.
A scriptwriter he had collaborated with before contacted him on his alt account.
He had meant to ignore it but accidentally opened it—
【OMG! Mind blown! Mu Chengzhou, do you know? Your former CP, Bù Fù Sháohuá, she’s actually the great author Ye! Liu!】
Seeing this message, Chu Yan’s face instantly froze.
