It was already evening by the time Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning left school. They took a car all the way to the airport, waited for the plane and took off. By the time they landed and disembarked, it was already the latter part of the night.
Before getting on the plane, Ji Mingxia didn’t find the opportunity to call his grandmother.
When the plane landed, it was late at night and she would have already gone to bed, so naturally Ji Mingxia could not bear to nag her late at night.
It was several hours from the airport to Banana Leaf Village, so they would arrive just as she was waking up.
Ji Mingxia looked at his phone and sighed in his heart.
It seems that he would have to give his grandmother a “surprise”.
Ji Mingxia couldn’t help but rejoice in his heart. Fortunately, he stuck to his grandma during the summer vacation and made her smile when he had nothing to do.
Their relationship had greatly improved and Ji Mingxia had figured out his grandmother’s personality.
Even if Grandma Ji didn’t accept Yu Ning at first, Ji Mingxia had a way to convince her.
After all, Yu Ning was so nice, who could not like him.
The airport was located in the city and it was a long way back to Funan County. In addition, the bus to Banana Leaf Village did not operate at night.
Ji Mingxia was worried about how they’d get transportation, but unexpectedly, they had just walked out of the airport when they met a driver who was soliciting for passengers.
“Funan County, Funan County, are you going to Funan County? Leave now, get in the car, just a hundred yuan! Don’t be fooled, it’s only a hundred yuan ……”
The car driver stood at the entrance of the airport and shouted at the people going to and fro.
Ji Mingxia’s eyes lit up and he pulled Yu Ning up immediately and asked, “Are you going to Banana Leaf Village?”
The driver couldn’t help but look Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning up and down.
Even though the two young men were wearing masks, he could tell that they were handsome just by looking at their eyes.
“You guys are locals going home?” The driver said, “Get on, but I’ll have to raise the price, one hundred and fifty per person.”
“Okay.” Ji Mingxia said dryly.
This price was more expensive than usual, but it was late at night, so he didn’t bother to bargain.
The driver was quite happy when he saw how straightforward Ji Mingxia was, and he happily led them towards the car, saying as he walked, “This is the price for a carpool, there are some young girls going to Funan County, but they are not locals.”
Ji Mingxia was surprised, “They aren’t locals yet they are going to the county so late?”
“Yes, there are a lot of them these days. They saved money to buy cheap midnight tickets to chase after stars.” The driver shook his head and sighed.
“Chase after stars?” Ji Mingxia never expected such an answer.
Funan County was just a small place, and as far as Ji Mingxia knew, the most famous person from Funan county that had the most fans on the internet would be…. Yu Ning ……
Could it be that these people were here for Yu Ning?
Ji Mingxia was startled and felt it was unbelievable. Yu Ning’s fans wouldn’t be that crazy, right?
But aside from Yu Ning, he really couldn’t think of anyone else.
Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia hurriedly asked, “What kind of stars are they chasing, did they say who they came to see in Funan County?”
“Who else can they see? It’s that guy, the handsome one, who is said to be popular with young girls.” The driver casually sighed, “If you are interested, just ask them in the car later, hey, here it is, this is the car.”
The driver walked to a seven-seater business car and pulled the door open.
Ji Mingxia’s heart tightened, and he reflexively blocked Yu Ning behind him as he raised his head to look into the car with apprehension.
There were several young girls sitting in the car, and when the door was pulled open, several of them turned their heads to look at Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning.
They were a little puzzled at first, but when they saw that Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia were tall and looked good even though they had on masks, they became a little happy.
Ji Mingxia often saw this expression in school, so it was a very normal reaction.
It didn’t look like they had rushed over for Yu Ning.
If they had come from out of town for Yu Ning, they would have been avid fans and would have recognized Yu Ning at a glance.
But these girls did not know Yu Ning or Ji Mingxia.
After confirming this, Ji Mingxia felt relieved and had a vague sense of embarrassment in his heart.
Yu Ning had already reached out his hand and held the door and roof of the car, and on seeing this, Ji Mingxia naturally went forward and got into the car.
Once Yu Ning was also seated, Ji Mingxia put his backpack down and once again acted as the spokesperson for the two, greeting the girls in the car, “Hello.”
The girls had been chatting together, and when Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia came up, their eyes stayed on the two of them.
Now that Ji Mingxia had taken the initiative to speak up, the girls were quite happy, and one of them, who was holding a camera, said, “Hello, are you also going to Funan County?”
Ji Mingxia nodded his head.
The girl’s eyes lit up, “So you guys are also Xuan Zhi? I didn’t know my brother had male fans!”
“Where did you guys come from and why are you so late?”
“We’ve prepared a lot of support gifts, do you want to share them with us and cheer for brother together?”
The girls thought they had met fellow fans and immediately spoke enthusiastically.
When Ji Mingxia heard this, he hurriedly said, “No, no, we are not here to chase stars, we are going home.”
The driver at the front was starting the car, and when he heard their conversation, he laughed: “Little girl, these two are locals, they are college students going home for New Year’s.”
Ji Mingxia said, “Yes, we are just going back to our hometown.”
“So that’s how it is.” The girls were still excited, “If you are university students, then you are about the same age as our brother, and it is possible that you were classmates before. I heard that Funan County is very small and there are only a few primary and secondary schools, do you know our brother?”
Ji Mingxia asked curiously, “Who is your brother, Xuan Zhi?”
“No, Xuan Zhi is a nickname from the fans.” The girls laughed, “Our brother is one of the members of GOJ, his name is Ke Chengxuan, an overseas male god who has returned to his home county, Funan. He came back to help promote his hometown and since we have liked him for a long time, we have come here to meet him.”
They started giving Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning a lecture on the history of GOJ and Ke Chengxuan’s journey to stardom. Ji Mingxia felt confused as he listened and didn’t know what to say.
He glanced at Yu Ning guiltily.
He had transmigrated into a book, swapping identities with the Ji Mingxia of this world.
Although the world in the book was a sort of parallel space to his original world, it was, after all, in a fictional world, influenced by the main character and the plot. All his past experiences were a little different from the original Ji Mingxia.
He had only crossed over last year, and had just become familiar with the environment. With the completion of the college entrance exams, he left the high school campus.
This Ke Chengxuan, just like Ye Tian, did not exist in his original world, and Ji Mingxia had never paid attention to the gossip concerning stars, so he naturally knew nothing about it.
Yu Ning noticed Ji Mingxia looking at him, and he also calmly looked back.
At once, Ji Mingxia understood what Yu Ning meant.
He had always been isolated at school and had no friends at all.
No one cared about him, and he naturally didn’t care about others either.
Since Yu Ning was so calm, Ji Mingxia was instantly calm too.
Anyway, these girls didn’t know him and didn’t know about Ji Mingxia’s attributes as a social person.
He just had to pretend to be anti-social, and someone who didn’t like to follow stars and read gossip.
After the star-crossed girls had finished talking about GOJ, they saw that neither Yu Ning nor Ji Mingxia had said anything and asked, “Do you know brother? Are you his classmates, or do you have any gossip from his school days that you can share with us?”
Ji Mingxia shook his head and said, “Sorry, I don’t follow this, and I don’t know him.”
“How is it possible, our brother was the most popular in the whole school, you should have heard of him even if you don’t know him?” A girl said incredulously.
“There’s a lot of news about him on the internet, even if you don’t go to school, you must have heard of him. You guys must know him and are deliberately refusing to talk about it, right?” Another girl guessed, “Don’t worry, we’re just curious and won’t go around saying anything.”
Ji Mingxia said helplessly, “I really don’t know him. I only pay attention to two kinds of people; those who do well in their studies, for example, the god of learning is popular throughout the school, and also the good-looking ones.”
Upon hearing this, the girls’ expressions suddenly became strange, as if something had suddenly occurred to them. The girl with the camera looked at Ji Mingxia suspiciously and said, “You’re not a fan of Yu Ning, are you?”
“Huh?” Ji Mingxia didn’t expect to suddenly hear Yu Ning’s name, and his expression tightened, “Why, why did you suddenly mention Yu Ning?”
As soon as the girl heard his reply, she showed an expression of understanding, “I knew it, you must be a Yu Ning fan. Only Yu Ning’s fans won’t admit that our brother, the god of learning, who took the whole school by storm.”
Ji Mingxia looked at her in bewilderment, “The God of Learning?”
Another girl immediately said, “Yes, Yu Ning is popular because he imitated our brother’s persona, didn’t you know that?”
“Our brother’s father is a foreigner, his parents divorced when he was young and he went to live with his mother. Because of his mixed race, he looks so handsome and has been famous since primary school. He is recognized as the county’s most handsome person and he has good academic performance. In addition, he is gentle, understanding, and has had a lot of fans ever since he was young. Even after going abroad, there are still legends about him, all these were things his former classmates said in interviews.”
“Yu Ning… I don’t want to evaluate him… anyway, he burst into popularity last year, and the marketing point is nothing more than being an orphan, his unusual good looks, and being called a god of learning… isn’t that an imitation of our brother? Anyway, he picked up the marketing strategy, there’s nothing new.”
“He’s just good at studies.”
“Anyway, our brother is now back in China, we shall see who is better in the end.”
With that, the girls stopped looking at Ji Mingxia and gathered in a group to discuss some interesting things about GOJ.
After his initial surprise, Ji Mingxia’s whole body was about to explode with anger.
What the hell, did they mean that Yu Ning had bumped personas with someone, and they thought that Yu Ning was copying someone else?
Putting aside the fact that Yu Ning was the protagonist of this world, he was the heart of the world, and was Ji Mingxia’s favourite character.
All the things that happened to Yu Ning were true, and all of them were things that happened naturally.
It’s not like they were a good thing, what’s there to copy?
Ji Mingxia was just about to start a battle of words when his hand was suddenly held by someone.
Ji Mingxia turned his head and Yu Ning said to him, “You will get carsick, take a good rest.”
“But ……”
“There’s no but, don’t care about that.” Yu Ning said, smoothly unscrewing a bottle of mineral water and handing it to Ji Mingxia.
Ji Mingxia saw that Yu Ning was calm and really didn’t take it to heart so he took a few sips of the water he was handed and slowly calmed down.
After what had happened at school during the day, Yu Ning was now in the limelight, and if Ji Mingxia argued with someone, it would easily lead to trouble.
He just wanted to take Yu Ning home and let him relax, there was no need to start a conflict with someone on the road.
Besides, these few fans took a plane to the remote Funan County in the middle of the night just to have a look at their idol, it was enough to show how much they liked him.
Just like Ji Mingxia liked Yu Ning, couldn’t bear to hear bad things about him and wouldn’t listen no matter how much the other party explained, there were people who would naturally not like him.
However, since the other party’s fans didn’t like Yu Ning, then as Yu Ning’s fan, Ji Mingxia also declared in his heart;
He would also add the other party’s idol to the list of people he hated!
Ke Chengxuan, right? In the future, when surfing the internet and encountering posts that mocked him, he would make sure to secretly liked them.
