Chu Feng snatched Jiang Yanran’s hand and nearly pierced her hand from how hard he was trying to look at the name. “Ye… Ye… Ye Bai! Sister Wanwan, what are you saying? Your alias is Ye Bai too?”

Ye Wanwan glanced at him. “No… Our company only has one Ye Bai. He’s Gong Xu and Luo Chen’s manager, Ye Bai.”

“Huh…” Chu Feng became more dumbfounded.

Jiang Yanran’s reaction was the same as Chu Feng’s. “Wanwan, are you saying… You are Ye Bai?”

Chu Feng coughed. “Sister Wanwan, you’re joking with us, right? Isn’t Ye Bai… a guy?”

Ye Wanwan nodded. “That’s right. I thought I should do a complete makeover when I changed identities, so I changed gender too.”

Chu Feng and Jiang Yanran looked at each other with bewilderment as they listened to Ye Wanwan’s nonchalant words.

Ye Wanwan was about to continue explaining when an unfamiliar number called her.

Ye Wanwan glanced at her phone. It was a number from C City, so it was probably the troops. Gong Xu and Luo Chen were conducting their special training, so their phones were confiscated. They could only use the public phone at the base and were limited to a five-minute phone call every day.

“Let me take a phone call,” Ye Wanwan said and picked up the call.

As soon as it connected, Gong Xu’s ghastly wail was heard from the other end.

“Brother Ye, save me! Good Brother Ye, save me! I want to go home!!! They’re abusing me—”

Gong Xu’s howl was thunderous to the ear, so Jiang Yanran and Chu Feng could both hear him clearly across from Ye Wanwan.

Jiang Yanran was startled and muttered to herself, “Why does this voice sound like… Gong Xu’s…?”

Ye Wanwan held the phone farther away. However, Gong Xu kept babbling and bawling nonsensically on the other end, so she had no idea what he was trying to say.

Ye Wanwan naturally switched to her male voice and said exasperatedly, “Stop, stop, stop! Calm down! What’s wrong now? Weren’t you fine when I left? Didn’t you promise me you would train well?”

The second that Ye Wanwan spoke, Jiang Yanran’s head shot up and Chu Feng looked like he had seen a ghost. “Y-y-y-you! Ye Bai!!! Isn’t this Ye Bai’s voice…”

As competent diehard fans, they could still recognize their idol’s voice even though Ye Bai rarely made appearances.

When Gong Xu heard Chu Feng’s voice, he howled, “Brother Ye, why is there another man’s voice on your end?! Are you taking on a newbie again while I’m gone?! I knew it! I knew you just wanted to use this opportunity to abandon me…”

Upon sensing another ceaseless barrage from Gong Xu, Ye Wanwan reached the end of her patience. “Gong Xu! Enough already! Let Luo Chen take the phone!”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Gong Xu: “No! I only have five minutes to talk to you, yet you want Luo Chen to take the phone!”

“Your time’s up.” Luo Chen’s voice came from the other end then the phone switched speakers.

Luo Chen: “Brother Ye.”

Ye Wanwan finally relaxed upon hearing Luo Chen. “What’s up with him? Is the training too hard? If he really can’t accept the severity of the training, then I can call Instructor Lei and decrease the workload…”

Luo Chen was silent for a few seconds before saying, “Brother Ye, that’s not it…”

“Then why?”

“It’s because the food is too awful.”

Ye Wanwan: “… Huh?”

Gong Xu: “Brother Ye! Do you know what they gave me to eat? It’s all mantou and pickled vegetables! What is this if not torture?! I worked my butt off the whole day and simply wanted something good to eat, but I ended up seeing that. Do you know how I felt? I was in utter despair…”
