I Was Taken by the Female Lead After Transmigrating into a Book - Chapter 32

Afraid that she would get addicted to browsing Weibo for things related to Huo Wu, Bai Feifei reluctantly looked at a few ads before quickly exiting the interface.

She searched for Xi Rong again. The first one that came up was her official account. After following, Bai Feifei thought about it and decided against telling Xi Rong about her side account. After all, Xi Rong already had millions of followers who were there on their own accord. One more or one less didn’t matter. Besides, there were too many things she could do with her side account… If Xi Rong saw all of it, it would be a little embarrassing.

Bai Feifei clicked on the account, liked, commented, and reposted. Then, she spent a huge amount of money to buy a day’s worth of homepage recommendations for Xi Rong.

After finishing these tasks, Bai Feifei exited again. She opened Huo Wu’s Weibo homepage again, as if it were a treasure, and finally found a comfortable position to happily browse.

Huo Wu’s Weibo account is likely managed by her staff. She rarely posts her own content. Because she’s always on set and often has confidentiality agreements, there aren’t even any on-set photos. Many of her pictures are saved from the official movie Weibo accounts. Her social media presence is very half-hearted. It’s common for her to disappear for two or three months, not to mention posting nine-panel grids.

Her most recent post was from half a year ago—a nine-panel photo collage posted on New Year’s Eve. One picture was split into nine, with the caption: Happy New Year.

Bai Feifei was speechless for a moment. She felt that being a fan of Huo Wu just for her looks was very difficult.

But fortunately, it wasn’t a total loss. She could still dig around. That is, until she saw the message, “The user has set their posts to be visible only for the last six months.” She fell into a long silence.

Having few posts wasn’t the scary part. The scary part was that she had few posts and they were only visible for six months. There was nothing to look at!

Helpless, she had no choice but to settle for second best. She searched for a lot of Huo Wu’s pictures online and bought a lot of digital magazines. She planned to use them as her profile picture, screensaver, and wallpaper.

Footsteps approached from a distance. Bai Feifei turned around and saw Huo Wu walking in with a hot water bottle. She excitedly held up her phone. “A-Wu, look!”

Huo Wu walked closer. Bai Feifei showed her all of her social media accounts. All of her unverified accounts had their display pictures, including her profile picture, changed to pictures of Huo Wu. She was afraid that using her verified accounts would get Huo Wu into trouble and add more fuel to the fire, with people saying that she was using Huo Wu for clout.

Huo Wu saw a few embarrassing photos of herself and said, “…”

“I’m leaving,” Huo Wu said, unable to stand it anymore. “Remember to check Weibo later. The official Weibo for ‘Light and Shadow’ will announce your casting at 8 p.m. Remember to repost and follow them. Also, remember to take your medicine. Bai Xue is already on her way to sign the contract.”

Bai Feifei only then realized that Huo Wu seemed to be breathing a little heavily. She thought it was because Huo Wu was tired from getting water from the hallway, since her hospital room wasn’t close to the water dispenser. But when she saw the box of digestion pills in Huo Wu’s hand, she realized it wasn’t just that.

Bai Feifei reached out and took the box, saying softly, “Did you go to find Auntie Xue to get the medicine? Did you run all the way here?”

Huo Wu gave her a quick look. “You’re overthinking it.”

Bai Feifei wasn’t discouraged. She obediently opened the box, took out four pills, and, following the dosage, slowly chewed them one by one. Her hands were small and her skin was soft. Her palms were chubby, but her fingers were long and slender. Her nails were also very beautiful. The four pills in her hand looked surprisingly pretty, like a hand model in an advertisement.

Huo Wu suddenly wanted to know if Bai Xue had captured Bai Feifei’s hands in the video she took earlier. Bai Feifei’s hands were also very cute when she held chopsticks and bowls. When she closed her hand, it looked like a fat chef’s hand, but when she spread her fingers, it looked like a pianist’s hand.

When Bai Feifei was on her third pill, she heard a faint commotion outside the door. Not long after, the noise got closer. A nurse opened the door and shouted, “Did anyone see a woman in a black jacket—a woman in a black jacket who ran up from the first floor with a green hot water bottle—she dropped her phone. Does anyone know her? Whose family member is she?”

Bai Feifei’s gaze shifted to Huo Wu. A black windbreaker. Below, a green hot water bottle.

Bai Feifei blinked slowly and tilted her head to the side, just in time to see the hospital room door, which was open for ventilation.

The nurse pushed the door open. “You, you, you—you!”

Huo Wu immediately pulled up her mask, put the water bottle on the table, turned around, took her phone, and, while pulling down the brim of her hat, said in a stiff voice, “Thank you.”

The nurse’s lecture was stuck in her stomach. She muttered unwillingly, “Be more careful next time. You were rushing all the way. I saw that there was still water in your hot water bottle. What if it spilled or broke and the fragments hit someone? And you don’t even know if the lid is on tight. Did you hear me…?”

Given Huo Wu’s “good attitude in admitting guilt,” the nagging nurse walked away while still talking.

Huo Wu’s back was to Bai Feifei. Her body was a little stiff.

The room fell into a strange silence.

Bai Feifei finished chewing the last few pills with a crunch. She lay down obediently and smartly pretended that nothing had happened, blinking her eyes as she looked at Huo Wu. Seeing that Huo Wu was still standing in the same posture, she cleverly changed the subject. “A-Wu, are you leaving now?”

“Yeah,” Huo Wu nodded and finally turned around. The two of them had a great understanding not to bring up what had just happened.

Huo Wu put the lid back on the hot water bottle that was still steaming and said, “Fu Xiaoxiao will come to keep you company later.”

Bai Feifei nodded. Her eyes looked a little sad. “Then I won’t be able to see you until next month. My current work doesn’t overlap with yours at all.”

Huo Wu stared at her for a few moments. Maybe it was because Bai Feifei was still sick and fragile, with no color in her eyelids. She looked very fragile, or maybe it was something else. Amidst a gentle breeze blowing in from the window, Huo Wu heard herself say, “Then you have to work hard. There will always be a day when we’ll meet again. We can meet at the top.”
