Chapter 64 Pure Love Fangirl (21)
Not long after Xia Mingwei finished her conversation with Xiao Ba, she received a phone call.
The caller ID showed an unknown number. Xia Mingwei frowned as she looked at the screen. Adhering to her principle of not answering calls from strangers, she hung up. But the person on the other end seemed very patient, calling three or four more times.
In the end, Xia Mingwei gave in and resignedly answered the phone.
After the call connected, Xia Mingwei was a little puzzled and asked the person on the other end of the line, "Hello, may I ask who this is?"
But the person on the other end of the phone didn't say anything, just remained silent. Just as Xia Mingwei was about to hang up, a familiar voice came from the other end.
"Don't hang up, it's me!"
The owner of that voice was none other than Li Ming.
This made Xia Mingwei a little puzzled, "What about the previous phone number?"
Li Ming gave a bitter laugh on the other end of the phone, "When the company was preparing for our debut, they replaced all our phones, SIM cards, and everything else, saying it was to give us a fresh start!"
"Then how come you know?" Xia Mingwei didn't ask the rest of the question.
Li Ming understood what she meant and replied, "I've read your number many times before, so I memorized it!"
Xia Mingwei was stunned by this reason and remained silent for a long time.
Just then, Li Ming spoke up on the other end of the phone.
"I saw what happened online today. Thank you for everything you've done for me!" The voice was deep, making it difficult to detect any emotional fluctuations.
"No need to thank me! I did this all voluntarily for you! Don't you know? I'm your fan!" Xia Mingwei tried to be playful to liven up the atmosphere between them.
"I've always known that you've done so much for me, and I don't know what I can do for you in return?"
"Li Ming, you know my time is too limited! If you really want to do something for me, then write a song for me!"
"Write a song?" Li Ming was still somewhat surprised by this request.
"Yes! I believe you have the ability. Could you write a song for me?"
Li Ming did not immediately agree. After thinking for a while, he finally agreed to the request.
Logically speaking, such a request should be easy to fulfill. If one doesn't put their heart into it, they could write the entire song in a day. However, Li Ming was unwilling to treat this matter perfunctorily; instead, he wanted to do his best to complete Xia Mingwei's request.
After the call, Xia Mingwei's health deteriorated further. She lost weight rapidly, and her face was deathly pale every day. To conceal her illness, she had to use thick layers of foundation to cover it up.
A lot happened during this period, such as Li Ming's group releasing their first full-length album, which gained considerable popularity.
Xia Mingwei's previous online remarks attracted a lot of attention. Everyone was curious about what kind of person could make the young lady personally defend her. Driven by curiosity, they listened to their group's songs and found them to be quite good, becoming fans themselves! This move indeed brought a lot of traffic and popularity to their group, and even their number of fans increased significantly.
Seeing all this, Xia Ming smiled. Because of her efforts, Li Ming's group had entered their peak popularity ahead of schedule.
The day of the book signing arrived quickly, and Xia Mingwei waited patiently on the sidelines early. She wanted to experience the aspects that the original owner of the body liked, so that she could better connect with the original owner and make it easier for her to complete her mission.
Xia Mingwei was the last person at the autograph session, and Li Ming seemed somewhat incredulous when the video call connected.
"What? You don't recognize me just because I'm in a different place?" Xia Ming said, raising an eyebrow slightly.
He was stunned for a moment, but quickly got into the zone.
Xia Mingwei smiled slightly. She knew that his professional skills had improved rapidly during the time they hadn't seen each other.
"Is there anything you'd like me to write on the album?" Li Ming asked.
Xia Mingwei shook her head. "If you don't have any particular idea, just write whatever you want!"
Li Ming didn't think for long before writing down his words.
Xia Ming was surprised to see that he had finished writing so quickly, and thought it would be just another generic sentence!
Unexpectedly, when Xia Mingwei received the album, there was a message written on it: "Thank you to my one and only fan! Meeting you is my luck!"
These words were sincere and heartfelt, and they truly moved Xia Mingwei deeply, but that's a story for another time.
Not long after the book signing ended, Li Ming's "elder brother" couldn't hold back any longer.
Seeing Li Ming's popularity soaring day by day, he could no longer sit still. If he didn't act now, it would be much harder to touch Li Ming once he became a household name. So he decided to smear Li Ming's reputation.
This way, he could not only suppress Li Ming and curb his popularity, but he could also use this incident to gain public sympathy, promote their bromance, and create a positive public image for himself. Thinking about this, he felt the plan was becoming increasingly feasible—a perfect two-birds-with-one-stone strategy!
In order to achieve this goal, he finally couldn't hold back his true colors and revealed them.
At the same time, Xia Mingwei also received a message from Xiao Ba.
Xia Mingwei, who had been lying in bed, perked up immediately upon hearing the news. This final act of online bullying meant her mission was nearing its end. She had waited far too long for this moment. How could she not be happy to receive this news?
Thinking of this, Xia Mingwei felt a surge of excitement and quickly asked Xiao Ba, "So how does he plan to deal with Li Ming?"
"He plans to start with his romantic scandals!"
Hearing Xiao Ba's answer, Xia Mingwei clenched her fists. She knew that for an idol, a dating rumor was a fatal blow. Regardless of whether it was true or not, it would have a huge impact on fans, ultimately resulting in a massive loss of followers. Therefore, this tactic was undeniably vicious!
"Has he figured out what to do?" Xia Mingwei continued to ask.
"He contacted a moderately famous internet celebrity and bribed her to spread ambiguous rumors about their relationship!"
After saying this, Xiao Ba asked Xia Mingwei with a puzzled look, "But host, is it okay to spread rumors about this?"
Xia Mingwei nodded, "Of course! Posting photoshopped pictures and matching clothes can be very effective! It's perfect for winning over fans!"
