APCF -Chapter 1 (2)

The entire swarm of people was still clustered around Qi Xingchen as they entered the household. On the flight back, he could already match everyone’s face to a name, and all of them were his family members and servants.

Still in disbelief of the extravagance of the villa, Qi Xingchen said in a stupor, “Thank you, everyone, I would like to rest for a bit in my room.”

“We are all family, you are not allowed to say thank you to us next time.” Dad Qi supported his arm, “Let’s go, I’ll bring you upstairs.”

The original owner’s room was on the second floor to the far right, as Qi Xingchen did not wish to reveal that he had just transmigrated into this body, he could only follow Dad Qi step by step upstairs like a 3-year-old toddler.

Dad Qi was approaching 60 this year, but due to good maintenance of his health, his face looked like he was only 40. He was usually of a serious disposition, nevertheless seeing his son wake up today made him give a rare hint of a smile.

Reaching the door, Dad Qi’s smile deepened and said, “Xingxing, open the door and look inside.”

Qi Xingchen: “?”

He hesitantly pushed open the door and was then almost scared out by the piles of gifts that filled the entire room.

There wasn’t even space for someone to stand in here, what was this?!

“Cough,” Dad Qi was a bit embarrassed and cleared his throat, “Xingxing, all of these are the welcome home gifts that I gave you.”

“……This much?”

“I’m getting old, so I don’t know what young people like. After hearing the chauffeur say that his son likes sneakers, I called for people to buy all the limited-edition sneakers, have a look and see if you like them.”

“—It’s okay if you don’t like them,” Dad Qi added. “Just throw them into the storehouse, don’t feel burdened.”

Qi Xingchen did not know how to reply for a while, simply nodded his head and forced himself to cross over the gift boxes.

He thought that the interior of the room would be as luxurious as the rest of the villa, but it was the opposite. In reality, the huge space was very clean and refreshing. Other than the signed basketball and guitar in a showcase, there was only a bed, a computer table and a chair carved from yellow flowering pear wood3.

He collapsed onto the bed, closed his eyes and searched for fragments of memories.

The novel did not characterise much of the original owner, but since he was one of the novel’s characters, the original owner still had some basic information.

The original owner was the third child of the Qi family, 20-years-old this year, currently an art college sophomore. Last year, he was scouted by an agent and signed on with Noah Entertainment, where the male protagonist was.

Wanting to prove himself to his family, the original owner did not declare his relation to the Qi family. Afterwards, he had a falling out with his agent and was let go by him.

He was then left hanging without progress at the company and hung there for a year.

“……”

What the hell was going on here.

Qi Xingchen took a deep breath and got up to the restroom to wash his face. When he was wiping his face, he took a look at the mirror and thoroughly inspected the original owner’s appearance.

It was not that much different from his real self, just with a slightly shorter stature and a thinner, sharper chin.

The awkwardness of using someone else’s body was greatly reduced. He shook off the water droplets, knowing that his main priority was to get out of the novel.

But before transmigrating back, he would have to keep this minuscule life of his. Estimating from the timeline of the book, in half a month, the Qi family would start on the journey of their destruction.

He has not even gotten to see the concert, he mustn’t die yet.

In order to keep this small life of his, he would need to investigate the risk factor levels of the male protagonist’s “atomic bomb”.

Qi Xingchen sat in front of the computer, opened up Weibo and entered the two words “Bo Ye”.

Instantly, a large volume of pictures and videos flowed out. Some of them were fancams, and there were also cuts from his events.

The youth in the picture was tall, his eyebrows were distinct and sharp, and his pair of deep black eyes were full of loftiness and aggression.

…… This book was really written based on his idol, with his looks and figure down to a T.

The number of Weibo fans were also the same, nearing 80 million, well-deserving the busiest traffic.

Qi Xingchen faced the highly-similar-to-real-world male protagonist “Bo Ye” and he hesitated for a while. He was a fan of this person for 7 years, but now he had to be on the opposing side of him and found it difficult to accept for some time.

Only when the sky turned dark, he then reluctantly convinced himself: This is a Mary Sue novel came up by a delusional fan, and the “Bo Ye” in the book is only a 2D character4, not his idol.

His own idol was still in reality and just had a concert stage accident.

He must walk out of this book alive to see that the idol was safe and sound with his own two eyes.

The original owner’s verified Weibo was controlled by the company. Qi Xingchen’s arm paused for a bit, then made up his mind and created a side account.

The fan community was where he could grasp the most amount of information about a celebrity. He was prepared to take advantage of the privilege of being in the same company as the male protagonist. First, he would reveal a mixture of real and fake news to make a huge mess, then look for a chance to break into Bo Ye’s inner fan group.

The application for an account went through and Weibo had a pop-up window

— [Please set your nickname]

Qi Xingchen typed: Bo Ye’s wife

— [Sorry, this nickname has already been taken]

He typed again: Bo Ye’s real girlfriend

— [Sorry, this nickname has already been taken]

He forced down the strong disgust: Bo Ye’s sweetie pie

— [Sorry, this nickname has already been taken]

…….This can’t even work? Then what else would work?!

Looks like he would have to use something more sophisticated, Qi Xingchen furiously smashed on his keyboard: Yearning through the entire night.

Success? Qi Xingchen swept back his fringe, the corners of his lips ticking upwards.

Heh, isn’t he just a 2D male protagonist?

If this 2D character can beat laozi, Lao zi will take up your surname in the future!
