Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 145 Getting Along with Nezha
Chen Xiu's experience of Li Shimin's life was, strictly speaking, the major battles he had fought.

This almost real feeling startled Chen Xiu so much that she smashed her phone against the wall.

Because the enemy who appeared before him and charged towards him was Xue Rengao, a peerless warrior from the late Sui Dynasty.

It wasn't until the phone passed through the other person's body and smashed against the wall that Chen Xiu realized that everything in front of him was fake, or rather, a five-sense AR experience given by the system.

However, this immersive feeling made him feel as if he were on the battlefield at the end of the Sui Dynasty, commanding thousands of troops and wielding great power.

In order to figure out the difference between reality and experience, Chen Xiu flipped over the things on her desk, trying to make noise in the real world to remind herself.

However, this did not affect the highly realistic AR experience provided by the system.

Finally, Chen Xiu simply lay down on the desk to peacefully get through this life experience.

When Nazar opened the door and came in, he only glanced at her unexpectedly.

He was probably so immersed in the experience that his gaze became somewhat frightening, causing Nezha to freeze in place.

After a brief conversation, Chen Xiu felt that chatting with Nezha made her better able to distinguish between experience and reality. In addition, Nezha herself didn't seem to want to leave, so she let her sit and chat with her.

Chen Xiu had thought this life experience would be short-lived.

As it turned out, he was wrong.

From the Battle of Qianshuiyuan to Li Shimin's appointment as the Minister of the Eastern Shaanxi Circuit, and then to the second year of the Wude era when Liu Wuzhou and Song Jingang swept through Bingzhou, and Li Yuan was preparing to abandon the area east of Shanzhou and hold onto Guanzhong as a warlord, Li Shimin volunteered to save the Tang Dynasty...

Each and every one of these events is simply too wonderful.

Even with a system to adjust the speed, the entire experience wouldn't be finished in just one night.

So that night, Chen Xiu moved from the study to the bedroom. Nezha wanted to go with him, but his mind was full of the martial arts battles on the battlefield at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and he had no interest in doing anything else.

Helpless, Nezha had no choice but to stay at the neighboring house.

This state of experiencing life lasted for three whole days.

During this process, Chen Xiu was unable to do anything too complicated because his energy was completely consumed. He spent most of his time lying in bed except for going to the toilet.

His phone was broken, so he could only have Nezha order takeout and have it delivered to his room to eat with him.

After they finish eating, the two of them will chat to distract themselves.

They mostly talked about Nezha's experiences in the entertainment industry over the past four years, and Chen Xiu also shared some of her own stories.

Nezha seemed to be enjoying the process quite a bit...

“Those netizens are still going to continue to criticize me on Weibo.”

While talking about her troubles, Nazar picked up a lettuce leaf and put it in her mouth.

Chen Xiu, with her eyes closed, was also eating a salad when she suggested, "Let's turn off the Weibo comment section."

"It's off?"

Nezha was somewhat surprised by Chen Xiu's suggestion, as few celebrities on Weibo currently disable the comment section.

If she does that, the haters will probably become even more arrogant.

Chen Xiu, who was still experiencing the Xuanwu Gate gathering in the summer of the ninth year of Wude, had basically adapted to chatting in this state.

"Hmm, rather than getting annoyed by it, I might as well just turn it off."

"If I turn it off, won't my fans be unable to interact with me?"

"You can register an account on Douyin. Many comments that violate the rules cannot be displayed on Douyin."

"Douyin is your company, will you help me control the comments?"

Nezha glanced at Chen Xiu with a shy expression, then used her fork to fidget with the green food in her bowl, picking the smoked beef from the side and putting it into Chen Xiu's bowl.

Chen Xiu ate her salad with an unchanged expression: "The comment section can be set; it doesn't need to be specially controlled."

"Oh, I thought you would..."

Nazar was about to say something, but the sudden ringing of her cell phone interrupted her.

"Dingle bell! Dingle bell!"

Upon hearing the phone ring, Chen Xiu and Nezha's expressions both changed.

Chen Xiu thought about the three days she had been "out of contact" and how those who couldn't reach her must be very panicked, especially the silly beauty Meng Ziyi.

Nezha also realized that he had used up his leave period during the three days he was "out of contact". He guessed that the crew of "Lemon First Love" and Tangren had realized that something was wrong and had called to check up on him.

The two, each lost in their own thoughts, listened as their phones rang for a while.

Then, Chen Xiu spoke up again: "Aren't you going to answer?"

"The work-related phone call was probably urging me to return to the film set."

"Oh, then you should go back too."

"What will you do if I go back?"

Nezha hung up the phone and stared intently at Chen Xiu.

Although she still couldn't figure out exactly what was wrong with Chen Xiu after three days, she knew that Chen Xiu needed someone to take care of her in her current state.

Having made the wrong choice with Nezha once before, I knew I absolutely couldn't make the same mistake again this time.

Upon learning that Nezha was worried about him, Chen Xiu hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll be fine in a few hours. You can go now..."

"No, I can't leave until I see you're completely alright!"

Nezha said firmly, "Even if Cai Yinong comes in person today, I will not leave!"
"Then you should call the production crew back first, make sure you give them an explanation, and don't let things escalate." Chen Xiu advised him matter-of-factly. Based on his assessment of the speed of the experience over the past three days, he felt that this life experience would be over in a few hours.

If Nezha wants to stay a few more hours, that's fine, but she still needs to inform the film crew.

Hearing Chen Xiu's persuasion, Nezha pursed her lips and asked for confirmation, "I made the call, you won't kick me out, will you?"

"...Can I make it this fast now?"

Upon hearing this, Nezha stared intently at Chen Xiu's face for a moment, and apart from thinking to himself that he seemed even more handsome, he didn't notice anything else.

“Yes, I’ll call them back.”

Turning on the screen, Nezha made a phone call without any attempt to avoid suspicion, right in front of Chen Xiu.

"Hey, I'm sorry, Sister K, the doctor said I need to stay in the hospital for observation and I can't go back to the film set for the time being."

"No need, you don't need to come see me. Is this something to be proud of?"

"I'm done. I'll go back by myself, don't worry!"

"..."

Nazar deliberately raised his voice a little when he was on the phone.

However, Chen Xiu, who had stopped chatting, had already focused her attention on the Xuanwu Gate gathering given by the system, and had no interest in paying attention to her conversation with Cai Yinong.

Due to her family education and Chen Mingjie's deliberate guidance, Chen Xiu has loved reading history since childhood, and even as an adult, she often rereads historical materials.

He learned about the history of the Tang Dynasty based on the records in the New Book of Tang, the Old Book of Tang, and the Zizhi Tongjian.

The contents of the three books are different.

Looking at other historical materials, we'll probably get different answers.

Just like the life experience of Li Shimin given by the system over these three days, Chen Xiu witnessed another version of the early Tang Dynasty story.

The Xuanwu Gate gathering, which is remembered by the world, can be considered Li Er's masterclass in political maneuvering.

Because everyone's attention was drawn to the fight between the three brothers, the importance of Li Yuan, the other protagonist of the gathering, was greatly diminished.

Moreover, Li Er portrayed himself as a victim of bullying...

Who can bully someone who has conquered the world with his own hands, who can personally lead the battlefield to cover the retreat of his subordinates, and who dares to face off against 10 people with only 3000 men?

All I can say is that history is indeed a little girl who can be dressed up however one pleases.

Chen Xiu didn't know if the version she saw was true, but the experience of the Xuanwu Gate gathering that had just ended was indeed a rare and valuable life experience.

"Okay, okay, I'm done here, I'll head back to the set right away!"

After finishing the call, Nezha suddenly grabbed Chen Xiu's hand and said with lingering fear, "Chen Xiu, it's a good thing I listened to you and called Sister K back, otherwise she would have called the police to find me."

"There's nothing that can't be solved through communication."

Chen Xiu withdrew his hand without leaving a trace. With his life experience coming to an end, he could finally relax and open his eyes without worrying that his gaze would frighten anyone.

Nezha, who was initially disappointed by Chen Xiu's actions, was immediately distracted when he saw Chen Xiu open his eyes again.

She stared intently into Chen Xiu's eyes, slowly moving forward. Just as their noses were almost touching, Nezha felt a resistance coming from her shoulder.

"I haven't showered for three days, so I must smell really bad, right?"

Chen Xiu smiled and said to Nezha.

After the Xuanwu Gate gathering ended, Li Er's remaining life experiences before ascending the throne, that is, his post-war reflections, no longer occupied much of his energy.

As he was helped to sit down by the shoulder, Nezha pursed his lips and said, "I feel like you're a little different."

"What's the difference?"

"I can't quite put my finger on it. Looking at his face, he seems a bit more handsome. Looking at his eyes, he seems a bit more mature. Even though I'm a bit older than you, when I'm with you, I always feel like I'm the younger one."

Nezha tilted his head and said, a puzzled look appearing on his delicate face with softer lines.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiu touched Na Zha's hair with the back of her finger and changed the subject, saying, "Your hair is a bit oily! Will you have time to wash it when we get back to the set?"

"It's definitely too late! Back on set, the director is eager for me to start working immediately."

Nezha, who was more concerned about her image, anxiously took out her phone to examine her head.

"Ugh! My hair is so oily, I need to wash it!"

"Disposable bath towels and hair towels are provided under the sink in the secondary bedroom's bathroom; you can take them yourself."

Chen Xiu pointed to the door and said that when Nezha came over earlier, he had already noticed that the other party hadn't had time to take a bath in the past three days while taking care of him.

Out of consideration for the girl's feelings, he only got her hair done.

Upon hearing Chen Xiu mention the bath towel, a look of understanding flashed across Na Zha's face, but it quickly turned into concern: "I didn't bring any clothes..."

"Ordering takeout is fine."

"Oh, okay, I'll take a shower first!"

Nazar nodded and got up, preparing to take a shower in the bathroom of the second bedroom.

Just as she reached the door, Chen Xiu spoke up again, "Nezha, let's talk after you take a shower."

"Okay! I'll go wash now."
