Ch33 - Grandfather Lu Goes Fishing
‘Birth of an Idol’ hadn’t aired for longer than a week, but Lu Xu had already become the centre of everyone’s attention as the very first A-rank trainee.

From his participation in the competition to the first week of voting, Lu Xu had gone on the trending searches several times. Even if many people doubted him, most netizens thought he didn’t need to cheat his votes.

[@Foot Picking Loli Loves Liberty: When our little fan club votes we often all wait until midnight. This can be considered as routine practice.]

[@I Never Use An Oar To Row: Please send me a fan club, I want to join a group to vote with everyone for male god. All my movements will follow the club head; I also want to vote with everyone!]

[@Nationally Assigned Boyfriend: I understand, in the future I’ll also vote at midnight hehe~~]

When tapping on the #Lu Xu Vote Count# trending search, other than people’s suspicions and fan’s explanations, there were some strange Weibo posts.

[@Riding A Pig To Chase The Sun: I’m not a Lu Xu fan, but a friend came into my dreams and asked me to help vote. When I opened my eyes it happened to be midnight, and I just voted.]

This comment looked normal, but it very quickly got enough likes to send it to the trending spot on Weibo.

Below, a bunch of netizens came to find their comrades––

[@A Little Cutie: Fuck, OP, I’m the same as you, except it was my younger sister in my dreams.]

[@Barbeque Hai Di Lao: I feel like I’ve found a group. My grandfather came in the middle of the night yelling at me to wake up and vote QAQ]

[@Want To Fly To The Sky: After staying up all night, my ex-girlfriend suddenly appeared. I thought she came to yell at me to go down under and accompany her, but she made me vote and even told me to stay up less and live for a few more decades before meeting up. Ai, I regret not treasuring our time when we were together, I suddenly miss her]

The Weibo blogger looked at the comments in disbelief, not thinking that the things being said by others after opening the app would be even more ridiculous.

[@Blue Demon Enchantress Red Rose: Hehe, the comments section is a scene of large-scale superstition. It’s fine to just say that you’re a fan, you don’t have to say things about ghosts coming into your dreams. For so many ghosts to go online and help Lu Xu pull in votes, who do you think he is, the ghost realm mogul?]

[@No Brain: When I opened the comments I thought that it was quite terrifying, when I saw @Blue Demon Enchantress Red Rose’s comment I laughed until I cried. It’s not very possible to be a ghost realm mogul, maybe they want to create a supernatural persona?]

[@Yue Lao Is Online Cutting Red Thread: I stalked those netizens who posted about their dreams and I discovered that they’re all real accounts. It can’t be that so many people are lying online, right? So I think that maybe a lot of wandering souls really do like Lu Xu. As for the reason, it’s very simple. He’s handsome. Look at how many people became fans of him after the first episode. Ghosts are also a product of people after death, it’s normal for them to have similar preferences.]

“Xu ge, have you seen Weibo? I’m about to laugh myself to death. They even said ghosts went into dreams to collect votes for you and that you were the ghost realm mogul…”

Han Tianyu was a phone addict. Whether he had matters to attend to or not, he would intermittently open Weibo and refresh it.

After reading the dream theories online, he couldn’t resist telling Lu Xu about it when he saw him come in.
