My Wife Became a Top Star After I Came Back from Quick Transmigration - Chapter 3

Lin Mo didn’t realize what a stir the two simple sentences expressing her longing had caused in the entertainment world.

But she knew that if she stayed there, she would definitely be recognized as “Ms. Pig” by the fans around her.

After hanging up the phone and leaving the building, she took off the baseball cap she had used to block the sun. Her shoulder-length black hair fell loose, and her bangs, slightly messy from being flattened by the cap, were brushed with her fingers to tidy them up.

Other fans were still at the entrance. When they saw Lin Mo walk out, they turned to look at her, admiringly thinking, “This woman is so beautiful. Is she a staff member here?”

Lin Mo seemed used to such attention. She turned her head and sighed, looking back at the tall building.

Eight years had passed; everything had changed.

In reality, she had been back for three months. Her departure back then had been forced; she had no other choice. The only thing she could do was make Su Qixi believe that she was still alive somewhere in the world.

To come back, she had to travel through two other worlds. Returning here didn’t bring her any rewards; instead, she was burdened with a huge debt. She had even asked the system, “Why?”

The system’s reason was straightforward: “You couldn’t have just disappeared for eight years without leaving any trace, could you?”

So, the trace the system left for her was eight years of business failures.

Lin Mo countered, “Who fails at business for eight straight years?”

The system retorted, “If you had succeeded, why would you have disappeared for eight years?”

Lin Mo: “…That makes perfect sense.”

Of course, these details weren’t important. When Lin Mo returned, her first priority was to reactivate her old phone number. Luckily, she had the foresight to keep it active, thinking it would be a memento even if she could never return. She had given all the money in her WeChat account—3,467 yuan—to the phone company to keep the number from being terminated.

So, using the last bit of money the system had given her, she reactivated her phone and rented a place. She tried calling Su Qixi’s old number… but it was out of service.

One day, while walking down the street, she suddenly saw Su Qixi’s face on a large screen on a tall building.

Lin Mo: “…”

In that moment, seeing a glamorous celebrity and a broke, unemployed high school graduate burdened with millions in debt, Lin Mo couldn’t help but wonder if she should postpone contacting her.

Later, she realized she had been overthinking. Su Qixi wasn’t someone she could just contact whenever she wanted. The accounts she hadn’t logged into for a long time had been deactivated. Su Qixi had become a celebrity and had changed her phone number.

Lin Mo registered a new WeChat account and added her former homeroom teacher and class monitor. Since she had to start from the beginning, she decided she might as well do it right.

Even though she had only come to see her.

Even though she had never imagined they would reconnect this way.

Even though she also wanted to stand up and reveal herself.

But even without understanding the entertainment industry, she knew the timing was all wrong.

She shouldn’t have shown up there…

Back on the show set, the host announced the phone call was over, and Su Qixi finally composed herself.

With a forced smile, Su Qixi asked, “I completed the task, right? Hehe…”

The host on stage quickly took over, saying, “Of course, you did. I didn’t expect this Ms. Pig to be your classmate, Qixi! Now, let’s move on to the next game.”

The camera followed the host, but even with the attempt to limit Su Qixi’s screen time, there were still so many people in the audience.

Since it was a live broadcast, the unedited shots and conversations went viral online the moment Su Qixi lost her composure.

That night, in the early hours after the show was recorded, several hashtags climbed the trending list:

#SuQixiLostHerComposure #MsPig #ClassReunion

Online, a heated discussion broke out over who this “Ms. Pig” could be.

But first, everyone started speculating about the relationship between the two. After all, people would create rumors about strangers, let alone two people who actually had a connection.

“Are they really just classmates? But she called her ‘Little Qixi’!”

“CP fans, please leave. Shipping everything will only hurt you.”

“Exactly! It was just a normal conversation between old classmates!”

“What kind of normal conversation is, ‘I miss you,’ followed by hanging up?”

“Right! Did you see how devastated Su Qixi looked? If there’s nothing more to it, I’ll eat my hat while standing on my head!”

“The person above is a glutton for punishment!”

“Our darling Qixi’s eyes looked so shocked!”

“So she didn’t know the person would pick up?”

“Didn’t she say the number was out of service?”

“So none of you noticed? When the production team was about to make the call, she was so certain the number was out of service. That must mean she had been calling that number for a long time. It’s even possible she had called the owner of that phone this very year. That’s why she was so confident in saying the phone was out of service when the show called it.”

“…That makes a lot of sense.”

“So, who exactly is Ms. Pig?”

At that moment, someone posted a picture. Because the lighting was dim, the camera couldn’t capture much; you could only vaguely make out the back of a woman blending into the darkness, seemingly on the phone. It was clearly from the audience of a live show.

Then that fan confirmed that the woman next to her picked up the phone at the exact same time the call connected on stage, and that woman absolutely, without a doubt, called her “Little Qixi”!

“So, Ms. Pig was in the audience?”

“I don’t care, I’m starting to ship them!!!”

As the online discussion about Ms. Pig, the class reunion, and Su Qixi’s moment of losing her composure grew, even Lin Mo, who didn’t pay much attention to the entertainment world, came across the news on a Douyin video.

She immediately gained a new understanding of the entertainment industry. These fans truly… can deduce so much from so little!

Since that day, she and Su Qixi hadn’t been in contact again. It was as if their unexpected phone call was just that—an accident between two long-lost classmates. But they both knew that everything had started to change.

As time passed, the buzz around Ms. Pig slowly died down. Su Qixi, who had not responded at all, reappeared at various events.

However, a month later, as the class reunion approached, the name Ms. Pig once again appeared on the trending list.

The hashtags #WillMsPigCome? and #ClassReunion were once again pushed to the top by fans.

This class reunion, which had previously received little attention, now attracted the notice of various media outlets.

Since there was so much hype, they weren’t about to let it go.

In addition to the students attending the class reunion, reporters and fans also began showing up…
