[Xia Wei: Pal! Do you despise me so much that you want to fight me to death?]
[Cheng Hanwen: Big Bro, look at the time! It’s been a long day, and tomorrow’s shooting is full of fight scenes. Are you the Iron Man?]
[Xia Wei: I know you’re being thoughtful, but pal, I’m alright!]
[Cheng Hanwen: Think about Lil Sis An. She’s still a child!]
[Xia Wei: Very well then. For the sake of Lil Sis An, the three of us will play just one game!]
[Cheng Hanwen: OK!]
[An Wen: The three of us? How am I a part of this?]
In the end, they won the game with An Wen being the MVP1!
Xia Wei sent a voice note in the WeChat group chat that said [Lil Sis An, you’re a bad girl for hurting me!]
[An Wen: …]
[An Wen: Goodnight.]
She had many scenes for tomorrow’s shooting, and needed to hone her strength for the big push!
Just as An Wen was falling asleep, Jiang Yiwen was woken up by his phone.
“Boss, Qing Sha’s identity’s revealed!”
Jiang Yiwen and the rest of the boys had read “Calming the Cosmos” and were dissatisfied when the novel was adapted into a drama. Qing Sha was their goddess.
Jiang Yiwen lost his urge to sleep and immediately went searching on Weibo. His eyes widened as he saw the photo.
“Boss, have you seen it? An Wen’s our sister-in-law!”
“Yes, I have! Now shut it!” Jiang Yi Wen said. He was captivated by An Wen’s photo.
Gorgeous, but she was even more stunning in real life.
He went on to WeChat and noticed photos of An Wen had flooded each and every group chat!
[Sister-in-law’s playing Qing Sha. She’s the perfect candidate, to be honest. I won’t criticize this drama ever again!]
[If sister-in-law looks this amazing in school uniform, I’m sure she’ll be devastatingly beautiful in ancient costume.]
[I can’t believe I know a celebrity in real life!]
[Who’s ever badmouthed An Wen before?] Jiang Yiwen asked in the chat abruptly.
The screen was straight away flooded with comments of people seeking his approval.
[I’ve not.]
[Me too.]
[Not me.]
[Not me. +1]
[Not me. +10086]
…
Later, Jiang Yiwen changed the name of the group chat to “An Wen Fan Club.”
His followers hurried to butter him up.
[Boss, that’s a great name.]
[The mighty boss!]
…
This was An Wen’s first-ever fan club.
Jiang Yiwen scrolled through Weibo and realized many others expressed their fondness towards An Wen as well. Hence, he registered a new account on Weibo named An Wen Supporters’ Association.
He called on his followers to follow that new account, then created another Weibo group named An Wen Official Fan Club. He added all his followers to the group and demanded them to promote it on the “Trending” page. Many other users joined the group in no time.
It was mainly male fans attracted by An Wen’s appearance that joined the group. There were also some female fans as well. All of the shallow, superficial people that were only interested in looks.
People were happily chatting away in the group although it was already late at night. They were fawning over An Wen’s elegance and beauty.
The flow of people heightened at night in Di City. Many people shared photos of their chance encounters with An Wen and the rest as they noticed the current trend.
Xia Wei, who already had a small fan base, was mainly called out by netizens for being good-looking and likable, whereas An Wen rose with frantic popularity.
Photos of those chance encounters were widely discussed in major forums. It could be said that An Wen went viral for a little while.
The production crew ran on a tight schedule and there were plenty of fight scenes to shoot. However, Ye Qiaofeng demanded everything to be of the highest quality. The whole crew was pretty much tortured to death on the set.
The cast could lie down on a pile of costumes and fall asleep within seconds. Lu Maner was worn to a frazzle that she had no energy left to mock or ridicule An Wen.
Ye Qiaofeng was an irascible and irritable man. He would give someone a roasting whenever he had a chance. Initially, people took that to their heart, but now they had gotten used to his reprimands.
