Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

Chapter 346 Xiaotian's clothes are big and round

"You're actually watching Attack on Titan!"

Tian Xinwei stared at Chen Xiu with bright almond-shaped eyes, her gaze filled with high regard for her fellow enthusiast.

Chen Xiu, who was blocking the doorway, turned her head to look inside and then turned back, asking in confusion, "Do girls look at these things too?"

"Hey, stop with this discrimination, okay? What do you mean girls watch it too? What's the difference between boys and girls...?"

"Giants don't wear clothes, I thought girls would think it was a form of sexual harassment."

"Cough cough."

Tian Xinwei blushed and choked instantly, but the interest in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

She craned her neck, trying to look inside, but with Chen Xiu blocking the way, Xiao Tian's efforts were in vain.

Helpless, a smile flashed in Tian Xinwei's eyes again. She felt that she could use their shared interests to cover up the purpose of her visit tonight.

Thinking of this, Tian Xinwei opened her bright and clear eyes and asked, "Boss, are you watching season one or season two?"

"Just finished watching the first season and am about to watch the second season..."

"Huh? Wasn't season two banned?"

"There are plenty of things that are banned, but you can still watch them if you want... Although I don't know why this anime ended up on my phone, since it appeared, I decided to watch it with a critical eye."

Seeing Tian Xinwei's mocking gaze, Chen Xiu took a half step back expressionlessly, and then began to push the door open.

"It's late, there's nothing else, you should go home and get some rest!"

"Wait a moment!"

Tian Xinwei blocked the door frame with her foot, preventing Chen Xiu from closing the door.

Before anyone could ask, she pleaded, "Boss, I'm a fan of Attack on Titan too. I haven't had a chance to watch season two yet, so maybe..."

Tian Xinwei pointed inside the door, her meaning very clear.

Chen Xiu instantly understood and politely declined, saying, "I can send you the link, you can go back to your room and see it yourself!"

"No, no, no, this kind of thing is definitely more enjoyable to watch with people who share the same interests! It's okay, boss, I trust your character."

After saying that, Tian Xinwei pushed with both hands and, taking advantage of the widened gap, nimbly slipped into the room.

Seeing Chen Xiu leaning against the door, seemingly about to reprimand her, Tian Xinwei quickly said, "Boss, I'll leave as soon as I'm done reading!"

"..."

Chen Xiu glanced indifferently at the big-eyed cutie, thinking to himself: I don't believe you for a second!

However, it would be too unseemly to kick people out once they're already inside.

With a loud bang, Tian Xinwei's body jerked involuntarily. Looking up, she saw that the door had already been closed by Chen Xiu.

Just as Tian Xinwei was stunned and at a loss, Chen Xiu walked past her, came to the sofa in the living room, picked up her phone, and pulled back the progress bar that was halfway through playing.

"Didn't you want to see it?"

"Oh? Yes! I want to see it."

Tian Xinwei wanted to laugh awkwardly to ease the tension, but after a laugh, she felt it would be too silly, so she awkwardly walked over to Chen Xiu and slowly sat down.

Chen Xiu sat cross-legged, turned her head to look at Xiao Tian's cautious expression, wondering what she was up to.

Realizing she was nervous, Tian Xinwei kicked the air with her foot after settling down and said, "Boss, we can begin."

"Hmm~~, do you usually wear a mask while watching dramas?"

"Um...excuse me, let me take it off."

When Tian Xinwei removed her mask, her cheeks were rosy and her dimples were visible. Paired with her round and bright almond-shaped eyes, she looked like a sweet girl.

Chen Xiu glanced at her face again, then pressed the play button.

……

“Sou no bu kiwa…”

"Huh?! This monkey can talk?!"

Tian Xinwei jumped up from the sofa, pointing incredulously at King Gigi, the Beast Giant, who was staring at his hands and talking on the screen.

Every fresh mind that hasn't seen The Great Gatsby before will be amazed by this scene.

Chen Xiu glanced sideways at Tian Xinwei, who was speechless with shock, a faint smile playing on her lips. She thought to herself, "This is surprising? Wait till you see my Kai Ta Chao, you'll be jumping to the ceiling..."

Tian Xinwei, engrossed in the story, did not notice Chen Xiu's expression.

After receiving the message that the giants could talk, she witnessed the most horrific scene in the second season.

Mick, whose fighting strength was second only to Levi, was being devoured by the Titans. The horrific screams of the Titans made Tian Xinwei shrink back onto the sofa, and then move a few steps closer to Chen Xiu.

Seeing this, Chen Xiu asked, "Are you still going to watch? Or why don't you go back and rest?"

"Look! I can't sleep until I finish watching this show tonight!"

Tian Xinwei's righteous and stern words made Chen Xiu realize that she had dug a huge hole for herself.

With 11 episodes left in the second season, he could only suggest, "How about watching it at double speed?"

"Oh, that's fine."

Tian Xinwei nodded in agreement, admitting that she was actually more accustomed to watching dramas at double speed.

Just as Chen Xiu finished adjusting the playback speed and skipping the intro, hoping to finish watching the show quickly, Xiao Tian suddenly made a request that surprised him.

"Boss, do you have any alcohol?"

"Eh?"

"I like to drink some beer while watching TV shows, and it would be even better if I could have some snacks to go with it."

Tian Xinwei chuckled, seemingly completely immersed in the joy of watching the show.

"Only beer, no snacks." Chen Xiu turned around and took two cans of beer from the refrigerator. She was about to walk over when Tian Xinwei clapped her hands twice.

"Boss, throw it over here! I can catch it."

"you sure?"

Seeing Tian Xinwei nod vigorously, Chen Xiu tossed a can of beer onto the sofa next to her, thinking it wouldn't matter if she couldn't catch it.

As a result, Tian Xinwei reacted quickly and caught the beer as it flew towards her.

Wow, that's amazing!

"Hehe, it's okay."

Tian Xinwei squinted, raised her beer and gave Chen Xiu a raised-eye glance, then turned the can towards herself and reached out to pull the tab.

Chen Xiu's expression changed drastically, and she tried to stop him, saying, "Wait..." but it was too late.

"Oh!"

Rich foam, accompanied by amber-colored beer, was sprayed directly onto Tian Xinwei's hoodie and hair.

The adorable girl with big eyes, who was instantly soaked to the bone, showed no panic whatsoever. Instead, she chuckled and said, "Heh! Boss, my clothes are wet..."

Are you wearing anything underneath?

"Yes, I have!"

"Then take it off first and dry your hair."

An eerie yet calm conversation ensued between the two.

After taking off her hoodie and drying her hair, Tian Xinwei was left wearing only a large, round black vest.

She held the half-empty can of beer in her hand, took a big gulp, smacked her lips in satisfaction, and then pouted regretfully.

"Ah! Only beer, no snacks, no rabbit heads..."

Looking at the sweet girl sitting cross-legged with a regretful expression, Chen Xiu asked doubtfully, "Does rabbit head really taste good? Don't look at me like that. I have no problem with this thing, but I feel like there's not much meat in it, and it's a bit spicy, right?"

"The rabbit head isn't spicy! It's just a little salty."

"Haha, I don't believe you."

"Really! Boss, when it comes to rabbit heads, it's either zero times or unlimited times, you can give it a try!"

Towards the end, Tian Xinwei even revealed a Sichuan-Chongqing accent.

Faced with her enthusiastic sales pitch, Chen Xiu simply replied, "I'll try it next time, definitely next time."

"Tch, you're not scared, are you?"

"You don't actually think that saying things like that will motivate me to try it, do you?"

"..."

Tian Xinwei was taken aback, revealing her helplessness after her scheme was exposed and countered.

A silence lingered between the two for a moment, while the TV show continued to play at double speed.

Just as Tian Xinwei was about to say something, the content on the TV screen suddenly froze on the eve of the famous performance of I Kai Ta Chao, and Meng Ziyi's name appeared in the notes. Chen Xiu also picked up her phone and answered the call.

"Hey, Sister Meng, what's wrong?"

"You're almost done with your work, and you'll be joining the production the day after tomorrow?"

"Oh, sure! I'll come pick you up. Me? I'm watching Attack on Titan, uh... you might need to watch it a few more times to understand why the Survey Corps discovered that Annie is the Female Titan."

After exchanging a few routine words with Meng Ziyi, Chen Xiu hung up the phone and turned to look at Tian Xinwei, whose expression had become complicated.

"You can probably guess my relationship with Meng Ziyi, right?"

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to say it so directly."

"I'm just worried that if fans find out, it will have an impact on her. If people in the industry know, it won't be a big problem."

"Um, that's not what I meant..."

Just as Tian Xinwei was about to comment on Chen Xiu's "overly honesty," the phone rang again on the TV screen, this time with the contact name "Reba."

Chen Xiu gave an unnatural pursed lip, but still answered the phone in front of Tian Xinwei.

"Hey, I've arrived at the film set."

"Oh, Detective Chinatown 2 has officially ended its run. It grossed 38.5 billion yuan, which is a bit of a pity. It didn't even reach 40 billion yuan."

"Okay, you should get some rest. Let's talk about visiting the set in a few days."

Chen Xiu's intimate tone shocked Tian Xinwei, and her suspicions about a love triangle involving Chen Xiu, Meng Ziyi, and Reba were almost confirmed.

After Chen Xiu hung up the phone, Xiao Tian stammered, "Boss..."

"Excuse me, please wait a moment."

While apologizing, Chen Xiu pressed the phone screen and said, "I've arrived at the film set. Don't worry, you should get some rest too."

After sending the voice message, he immediately switched to airplane mode, maintained the WiFi connection, and then started playing the show at double speed.

Although the television screen was currently showing Reiner's famous line: "I am the Mighty Titan, and he is the Colossal Titan...", Tian Xinwei's surprise had already shifted elsewhere.

Tian Xinwei felt her heart pounding. Her almond-shaped eyes widened as she stared at Chen Xiu. She swallowed hard and tentatively asked, "Boss, how many girlfriends do you have?"

"Well, if you're asking about female friends, there are actually quite a few. For example, Hu Weiwei, whom I met through investment; Chen Duling, whom I met while filming; and Yang Mi, whom I met through business cooperation. They are all friends."

"How many girlfriends do you have in close relationships?"

"This is too private for us to discuss."

Chen Xiu smiled as she looked at Tian Xinwei. Just then, the flagpole on the TV screen, which had been flapping loudly in the wind, snapped and fell to the ground with a snap. The TV series and the atmosphere in the room fell silent.
