When An Angst Writer Meets A Doting Writer

Story 1-7

【1.】

Xu Chi was a writer on the X website who had already seen his best times.

This comment was a bit too good for him. He had never been a popular writer. He could not even be called a writer since the number of his fans never exceeded 20 or so.

Xu Chi was always writing about boys’ love in all kinds of heartbreaking stories.

Amnesia, car accidents, cheating, rebound, substitutes, bad endings and so on. All these campy bridge plots had been written about by him. Strangely enough, his stories had never caused a sensation like others’.

Xu Chi’s Weibo ID was Poor Guy and his pen name was Short-Tailed Cat. His fans… Oops, he had no fans. He called himself Shortie genially.

Tang Yanzhi was a hot writer with a huge fan base on the X website.

The phrase “huge fan base” summarized well the writing career of Tang Yanzhi. After he started writing, his every book was a big hit after coming out and then got sold out. The point was that his books would never be sold for the second time. If 1000 copies were promised to the readers, then no more than 1000 would be sold. What? The number was too small? This meant nothing for Tang Yanzhi since he was already rich enough. What? It was rarely in stock due to his popularity?? Did this have anything to do with him? He was just responsible for writing stories and would never ensure delivery to the customers.

Tang Yanzhi had easily become the pillar of the X website.

He was devoted to writing about boys’ love in all kinds of sweet stories.

A little sweet, fairly sweet, truly sweet, and stupidly sweet, he’s got the whole package. Tang Yanzhi was always trying his best to make the stories as sweet as possible. Nowadays, the readers were living a bitter life and they just wanted to reduce their stress by reading something sweet. What? Were you talking about heartbreaking stories? Sorry, this had nothing to do with Tang Yanzhi.

Tang Yanzhi’s alt Weibo ID was Sweet Boy and his pen name was Guinea Pig. His fans genially called him Piggy.

Why did he use the alt Weibo ID? Did you have some common sense about Internet celebrities? If he used his formal Weibo ID, his fans would certainly flood in, causing much trouble.

Xu Chi was a student in the Management Department of the A University. He was already a junior and this was the third year since he started writing.

With Tingting’s help, Xu Chi signed a contract with the X website several days ago and became a contractual writer there. He looked at the sign showing his status after the pen name, and felt sweet somehow.

Tingling: Shortie, are you online?

Tingling was one of the few fans that had been following Xu Chi ever since he started writing. The little girl happened to read his stories once and was quite impressed by them. Xu Chi’s writings were characterized by grandness and gloom and they could always spur her on to read more.

Tingting thought this was the charm of Shortie. She felt sorry about Xu Chi’s unpopularity and kept on comforting him by saying that he would eventually become a popular writer.

Xu Chi: ?

Tingting; Will you update your story tonight?

Xu Chi: No. After all, no one will be interested. Then why should I update it?

Tingting: I will! I will! (Crying.jpg）

Xu Chi: I have no inspiration today and do not want to write. I will broadcast live.

Tingting: Again?

Xu Chi: Yes.

Tingting: (Mad.）jpg)I don’t want to watch it!

Xu Chi: You don’t have to.

As a university student, Xu Chi killed time by not only writing stories but also broadcasting live.

He broadcast games on the Q website.

Others would broadcast the hottest games. They tried to cause a sensation no matter whether there were many viewers. However, Xu Chi had been broadcasting for nearly one year and the game never changed.

Famine.

Other broadcasters were constant winners while Xu Chi only managed to survive for the 30th day during the 3 months of broadcasting on the Q website.

Accidentally, some viewers entered the broadcasting room. They just could not stand it and exited in 10 minutes.

Inside Xu Chi’s broadcasting room was only BGM. He did not turn on the microphone or use the camera. These were all understandable.

What could not be understood was Xu Chi’s poor skills that could stupefy anyone.

The role he had chosen was the most common one that was the most suitable for green hands. But he was usually bitten to death by a dog or killed by a frog. If he was lucky enough to survive a little longer, he still could not evade the destiny of starving to death.

Poor guy! I have seen so many broadcasters and no one was as clumsy as him. He did not even know how to walk in the game. He was so stupid that he was easily bitten to death by a dog.

The viewers thought to themselves.

Life was already bitter enough. Xu Chi was not only writing heartbreaking stories but also thinking about how to survive for another day in the game.

Now, women accounted for a dominantly large part of online writers. Thus, Tang Yanzhi and Xu Chi were like rare animals in the field and needed to be protected.

Terribly enough, the two rare animals met each other one day.
