After Transmigrating Into a Book, I Was Played by the Black Lotus – Chapter 73

APP

Lin Xingzhu had never discovered that Bai Xiying was a person with such strong execution ability.

They drove back from the Chu family’s house. As soon as they got home and changed their shoes, Bai Xiying had already found yesterday’s things, eager to try and complete the “have both” love model she had mentioned at the banquet.

She was really in a hurry.

Watching her come out carrying the bag, Lin Xingzhu had no choice but to interrupt her beautiful fantasy. “Perhaps, would it be convenient for you to tell me about that person you were looking at when we left the banquet?”

Lin Xingzhu had noticed at the time that Bai Xiying’s state was a bit off. However, she had already adjusted herself during the journey back, and at the very least, Lin Xingzhu couldn’t see anything wrong with her now.

But she hadn’t ignored that momentary daze from Bai Xiying.

Bai Xiying’s steps paused for a moment, and then she naturally sat down beside Lin Xingzhu.

Meeting Lin Xingzhu’s puzzled gaze, Bai Xiying slightly curved her lip and asked, “You observe so carefully.”

Lin Xingzhu smiled slightly and didn’t refute, “When it’s related to you, I always start to care unconsciously.”

These words were so pleasant they went straight into Bai Xiying’s heart.

“Actually, at that time, I was looking at that woman in the black dress.” Bai Xiying didn’t feel this was anything worth hiding. “She should be an acquaintance of mine, but when I looked closer, I found that the two of them don’t look very much alike.”

A difference in temperament can make people with the same face give off a completely different feeling.

It was clearly an extremely familiar face, but upon a fixed gaze, it seemed like a stranger.

Lin Xingzhu relaxed slightly. “So that’s how it was.”

If nothing unexpected happened, Chu Xiaxia’s matter would be resolved soon after meeting Chu Tiantian today. This way, no matter how spoiled and vile her personality was, it would no longer affect her and Bai Xiying.

But this also completely meant that Chu Xiaxia was not the original Gong Four¹.

Perhaps Chu Xiaxia herself occupied a place in the original work, in which case the greatest possibility was that she could only be the last main character, Gong Five.

And privately, Lin Xingzhu hoped that Chu Xiaxia was Gong Five, as this would mean that a future where Bai Xiying could have a normal life was close at hand.

But if that was the case, who exactly was the Gong Four who had not appeared from beginning to end?

According to previous speculation, after the world’s logic was patched, the operation of things would no longer proceed according to the original work. But the framework of the original work was indeed the foundation that constituted this world, so despite other major changes, it still retained the defined order of appearance for these few main characters.

In that case, the people before and after had basically all appeared, with only the vacant Gong Four in the middle yet to show up.

Thinking of this, Lin Xingzhu frowned slightly.

No, according to this reasoning, Gong Four had actually already appeared.

She quickly recalled, but no one suspected of being Gong Four appeared in her memory.

Bai Xiying had unknowingly moved very close. “What are you thinking about again?”

Otherwise, why the pensive look on your face?

“Are you still thinking about that woman from when we were leaving?” Bai Xiying frowned in displeasure.

Wen Lin was dressed very sexily. When Bai Xiying’s gaze retracted from her face, it had easily swept over the large, exposed area of her back.

She didn’t want Lin Xingzhu to be thinking about another woman while clearly sitting right beside her.

Lin Xingzhu was brought back to her senses by her call. “How could that be possible?”

Why would I think about her when I have nothing better to do?

“That’s good.” Bai Xiying nodded in satisfaction, then clung to Lin Xingzhu again. “Are you tired? Shouldn’t we wash up and go to sleep?”

Lin Xingzhu: “……”

She could see that Bai Xiying’s intention was not in the wine².

Having seen through everything, Lin Xingzhu stood up. “You’re right. I’ll go take a shower first.”

Bai Xiying was stunned for a moment, then a triumphant smile graced her lips, and she quickly followed Lin Xingzhu back to the bedroom.

Inside a lavishly decorated room, Wen Lin paced back and forth, treading on a floor of moonlight, murmuring to herself.

“Bai Xiying, Bai Xiying, Bai Xiying……”

The syllables of these three characters were repeatedly called out from her mouth, becoming more and more practiced, and the blurry memory became clearer and clearer.

Bai Xiying, the protagonist of an NP yellow literature³!

Wen Lin took a breath. She hadn’t expected to actually meet Bai Xiying today.

When she transmigrated into this world at the age of eight, Wen Lin initially thought she had just ordinarily transmigrated, like in those mysterious fantasy⁴ transmigration novels she had read before transmigrating.

But after she slowly received the original body’s memories and gradually figured out all the surrounding interpersonal relationships, Wen Lin finally discovered that she hadn’t just ordinarily transmigrated—she had transmigrated into a book!

And what’s more, she had transmigrated into a book she herself had written!

Although it was an NP yellow literature she had transmigrated into, fortunately, she hadn’t transmigrated into the body of the protagonist who would be subjected to forced love by all sorts of people in the future. Instead, she had become the powerful and influential Gong Four from the original work, Wen Lin.

After figuring this out, Wen Lin was absolutely ecstatic!

As an ordinary person in her past life, she had often daydreamed about being a rich second-generation heir. There were many jokes online at the time, and a very famous one was, “When will my parents finally tell me that I’m actually a rich second-generation heir?” The Wen Lin of her past life had no way of realizing this dream, but after transmigrating into the book, she achieved it!

And more importantly, as the author of this NP yellow literature, Wen Lin was very familiar with the original body’s family background!

The Wen family had a superior background and was a famous, wealthy, and prestigious family in S City. And besides being extremely famous in the business world, the Wen family also had extremely close ties to the political world.

Among them, the original body’s second uncle was the key figure connecting the Wen family to the political world.

Just thinking about this, the newly transmigrated Wen Lin couldn’t help but start fantasizing about her future life as a rich second-generation heir.

As the author who constructed the character of Wen Lin, she knew very well what role Wen Lin played in the book—

A “golden thigh⁵” character who, after being attracted by the protagonist’s beauty, acts to win the beauty’s heart by suppressing a cannon fodder⁶ who has a grudge against the protagonist.

As an ordinary person, the Wen Lin of that time, in order to show how her Gong Four was different from the previous few characters, had very roughly set up a glittering with golden light⁷ background for her. Later, she had her shallowly retaliate against the cannon fodder who had a grudge with Bai Xiying, motivated by beauty and a desire to show off—perhaps with some family interest entanglements mixed in.

It felt very sloppy on its own, but why bother with so much logic in a yellow literature?

The repressed Wen Lin wrote the “meat⁸” scenes with satisfying vividness, not caring at all about bugs in the plot or logic. She only cared that she was happy writing it and that the readers were happy reading it.

Anyway, who really comes to a yellow literature to read the plot? As long as the forced “meat” was written fragrantly, it was fine.

Because of this, after transmigrating into the book, Wen Lin spent a very long time exploring the truly existing Wen family of this world, as well as everything around her.

The more she understood, the more she realized that this was a truly existing world, not something that could be simply summarized as a book.

Thus, she quickly realized that as a Wen Lin with a new soul, she didn’t need to care too much about the so-called original work at all—even if it was one she had written with her own hands.

From the age of eight until now, Wen Lin had always thought and acted this way; she had not a shred of curiosity about the so-called protagonist of the world. And after more than ten years had passed, her memories had long since become unbearably blurry. Wen Lin had basically forgotten all these things, and she was intoxicated every day by this happy, new life.

But until tonight at the Chu family’s banquet, she was just chatting by the fountain with a friend she had recently met when she accidentally glimpsed a woman who completely hit her aesthetic, only to be told that this woman’s name was Bai Xiying.

Bai Xiying. This name was too special.

It was so special that even for a Wen Lin who had completely integrated into this world over more than a decade and had almost forgotten everything from before her transmigration, she instinctively and suddenly, in that instant, remembered this name that had countless ties to both this body and her soul.

But that wasn’t the most important thing.

After Wen Lin calmed down, the privileged mindset she had cultivated for over a decade allowed her to judge all of this from on high. A mere Bai Xiying—if she really liked her, she could just get her.

This thought flashed through her mind, but immediately, a few doubts arose because she thought of the name Lin Xingzhu.

It was a little familiar, but this time, Wen Lin didn’t sloppily dismiss it as a name she had accidentally heard before.

She thought hard, and only after a long time did she manage to dig out a few sporadic clues from her memory.

How did she vaguely remember that this was the name of a cannon fodder?

And the reason Wen Lin could still have some impression of a cannon fodder’s name with a very short appearance after more than a decade was thanks to a news story she had accidentally seen online before she transmigrated.

At that time, there were a few news articles online that mentioned the matter of the Qin family’s real and fake young ladies. The Wen Lin of that time was a pitiful corporate livestock⁹, and a repressed one at that, who would fantasize about all sorts of ooxx¹⁰ in her head every day. After accidentally remembering the fake young lady’s name from the news, she, harboring a certain dark thought, very smoothly named the cannon fodder in her story with this name.

But now, with the name dug out from her memory appearing before her eyes along with the person herself, Wen Lin’s heart uncontrollably skipped a beat.

Remembering Lin Xingzhu, she also remembered this cannon fodder’s situation in the book.

Calculating the age, at this time, Bai Xiying should deeply hate the cannon fodder. But why was what she saw the two of them getting along harmoniously, and as a famous couple no less?

Too outrageous!

The Wen Lin who had returned to her senses felt her hands and feet turn ice-cold, having a bad guess.

At this moment, she was very anxiously waiting for news from the people she had sent to investigate, so much so that she couldn’t even be bothered with her nightly life of drunken dreams.

The next day, Lin Xingzhu was preparing to go to Xingyuan to conduct the final handover. As usual, she put some goji berries¹¹ into her cup to get water. After returning, she took her phone out of her pocket, about to remind Bai Xiying that she had put breakfast in the insulated box, when she swiped open the screen and suddenly saw a new APP on the home screen.

It was light pink, had no name, and the icon was in the style of a flower petal.

Clicking into it, it seemed like someone had already registered it.

Lin Xingzhu: “?”

She stared at this pink home page and suddenly remembered the sight of Bai Xiying holding her phone and putting it back when she returned to the bedroom after making breakfast this morning.

Bai Xiying knew her password, so it wouldn’t be strange if she had downloaded it.

But the strange thing was, what kind of APP had she downloaded?

Thinking this, Lin Xingzhu subconsciously tapped on a section with a particularly steep, undulating wavy line. The section

The phone had no reaction.

After about half a minute, a WeChat message from Bai Xiying suddenly popped up on the phone.

【Bai Xiying: You saw the APP?】

【Lin Xingzhu: Yes, did you download this for me?】

Lin Xingzhu had originally thought this was some new type of music player, but as she scrolled down, not only did she not find any songs, she also saw some words with very special meanings.

What was “Continuous Rise and Fall”? What was “Stirring Affection and Comfort”? What was “Chaotic Fight Overture”? And what was this, “Spirit and Flesh Exchange”?

Were these playback effects for some song?

Thinking this, Lin Xingzhu’s hands didn’t stop, and she pressed almost all of them.

And on the other end of WeChat, Bai Xiying hadn’t replied to her message for a long time.
