A writer has arrived in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Tian Xiwei's home is in Pingtan Town, in the northwest of Tongliang County. The town is divided into four sections by three streets: west, south, and north. The primary and junior high schools are both located on the north street, and Tian Xiwei and Ran Xiaoqing have walked this road together countless times over the past ten years.

At this moment, Su Liu and Ran Xiaoqing stood on the sidewalk downstairs from their building, watching Tian Xiwei, who was wrapped up tightly like a rice dumpling, slowly ride her electric bike from a distance.

Su Liu slowly turned his head, his eye twitching slightly, and muttered to Ran Xiaoqing in a low voice, "No way, you said she came to pick us up, and this is it?"

Ran Xiaoqing's expression was also quite interesting. "I thought she would have her uncle drive here."

Tian Xiwei swayed as she parked the car in front of the two of them. Because she was wrapped up in thick clothes, she looked like a weaned bear when she got out of the car, her movements stiff and she almost lost her balance.

"Hi! Xiaoqing, and... Su Liu." She was wearing thick windproof gloves, and a scarf around her neck covered half of her face; her voice was muffled.

"Wait a minute," Su Liu said, habitually finding fault, "Why are you calling me by my full name?"

"Then how am I supposed to call you?"

"You should at least add 'brother' at the end."

"Brother Su Liu? Hahahaha!" Tian Xiwei seemed to have been tickled, and her laughter burst out from under her scarf. "No, no, I can't say it."

"Weiwei," Ran Xiaoqing asked, "You rode your electric scooter here, is there enough room for the three of us?"

"Of course!" Tian Xiwei patted the car seat. "Don't let its appearance fool you, it's actually very powerful. Sometimes our whole family relies on it when we go out."

"I have my doubts."

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiwei immediately handed the keys to Su Liu, saying, "You ride it, you're the oldest."

"Then give me your gloves."

In the summer, three people could squeeze onto the seat of this electric scooter and it would be alright. But in the dead of winter, everyone is wearing thick clothes, and three people huddled together would look like three tightly bound quilts; there's no way they could fit.

Sure enough, as soon as Su Liu and Tian Xiwei got into the car, Ran Xiaoqing had nowhere to sit.

"Xiao Qing, come sit in the back." Tian Xiwei jumped off the car nimbly. "I'll squat in the front."

Tian Xiwei is 168cm tall, so it's a bit too much for her to squat on the platform in front of her.

"Weiwei, it would be better if I squatted in front." Ran Xiaoqing was relatively petite.

"How can we let our guests squat?" Tian Xiwei said, adopting the air of a wealthy landowner.

"Hey, stop dawdling!" Su Liu said.

Tian Xiwei chuckled and crouched down, squeezing herself into the gap between Su Liu and the handlebars.

With a labored groan from the motor, the overburdened electric vehicle, carrying three stacked rice dumplings, wobbled and swayed forward down the street.

Tian Xiwei gently gripped the front of the car with both hands; from the front, only her head, wrapped in a scarf, was visible.

She was absolutely right. Although the car was difficult to start, it was quite powerful once it was running.

The street scenes on both sides rushed past, and the three of them were soon far from the city. The cold winter wind hit them in the face, making Su Liu's face stiff!

Strands of Tian Xiwei's hair, loose from her knitted hat, fluttered wildly in the wind, occasionally brushing against Su Liu's face and seeping into his nostrils with his breath.

Su Liu sneezed twice, causing the entire car to shake.

He yelled at the head in front of him, "Tie your hair, it's so itchy!"

"Yeah?"

Tian Xiwei subconsciously tried to free her hand to tidy her hair, but her body was curled up on the narrow footboard, and with this movement, her shoulder bumped directly into Su Liu's arm.

Immediately afterward, the front of the vehicle lurched to the side, and the entire electric scooter began to wobble and swerve in an S-shape. This caused both the person in front and the person in back to gasp in surprise!

The three of them drove along the county road all the way to the entrance of a residential area on North Street in Pingtan Town.

Tian Xiwei's parents were busy preparing the New Year's Eve dinner at home. She brought Su Liu and Ran Xiaoqing with her and called out as soon as she entered the door, "Dad, Mom, Xiaoqing and her brother are here."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a series of hurried footsteps came from inside the house, and then a little girl who looked about four or five years old ran over in a flash.

"Sister Xiaoqing." She pounced into Ran Xiaoqing's arms like a little cannonball.

"Little sister."

Ran Xiaoqing was knocked back a little, then smiled and bent down to hug the soft little body.

"Did you eat all the snacks I brought you last time?"

"No!" she said in her childish voice, "My sister ate them all!"

"Hey, don't you dare slander me!"

Just then, a smiling woman wearing an apron came out of the kitchen.

"Xiao Qing is here." Her gaze fell on Su Liu. "You must be Xiao Qing's brother. Come, come, have a seat. Make yourself at home."

Su Liu politely responded and greeted them before following Tian Xiwei to sit down on the sofa in the living room. Ran Xiaoqing then took Tian Xiaomei into the kitchen to help.

"Hey, Tian Xiwei, are you just going to sit here and wait for dinner?"

"Otherwise, I'd only make things worse if I went to the kitchen."

"They're quite self-aware."

The TV was showing the recently popular "iPartment 4", but Tian Xiwei wasn't watching it. She was slumped in a corner of the sofa, holding a tablet computer horizontally in her arms, with the corners of her mouth occasionally turning up in a satisfied smile.

"What are you looking at?" Su Liu leaned closer.

"My Love from the Star, it's so popular right now! Don't you know?"

"I've heard of it. It's so-so, all that mushy lovey-dovey stuff, what's so interesting about it?"

"You guys really don't understand," Tian Xiwei said with a look of disdain, then called out to the kitchen, "Mom! Is there any fried chicken or beer for dinner?"

"Tian Xiwei, you want to die! You still want to drink?"

"Oh dear." Tian Xiwei shrank her neck. "Fine then, fried chicken is fine with me."

The drama "My Love from the Star" was indeed incredibly popular, but Su Liu was leaning back on the sofa, remembering something. In another timeline, a Korean drama that would sweep across Asia would appear in two years.

Once Fusu Film & Television is established, wouldn't that be a perfect opportunity to snatch the deal ahead of time?

Brilliant! Once Knives Out is finished and Unnatural is on track, we'll get that show out.

"Hey." At this moment, Tian Xiwei suddenly leaned over, her voice hesitant and shy, "Brother Su Liu—"

Huh? Su Liu was taken aback. "What did you call me?"

"Hehe, Brother Su Liu." She moved a little closer.

Su Liu crossed her arms, erecting an invisible wall of rejection to block her sweet offensive.

"What do you want to do?"

"I just... wanted to ask if you think I could become an actress?" Tian Xiwei boasted like a peddler selling melons. "I joined the school's drama club, and last time I played Fanyi in 'Thunderstorm,' the teachers all said I acted well and should become an actress."

"Can you play Fan Yi?"

Fan Yi in "Thunderstorm" is Zhou Puyuan's wife. She is passionate, impulsive, and has an extreme personality. It's really strange that Tian Xiwei, with her looks, would play Fan Yi.

"Of course! Don't you believe me?"

"It's not that I don't believe you, but aren't you being a little too confident?"

"I've been a good actor since I was little, you can ask my parents if you don't believe me!"

"I can vouch for that." A man's voice suddenly came from behind the two of them. Tian's father had come out of the kitchen at some point, holding a dry rag to wipe his hands.

Su Liu quickly stood up to greet her. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he smiled and continued, "I still have a video of Weiwei when she was little, wrapped in a blanket, holding chopsticks and acting as a general. Little Su, would you like to see it?"

"There's such a thing! Take a look!"

Tian Xiwei, who had been looking smug, instantly changed her expression upon hearing this. She rushed forward and shooed her father towards the kitchen, saying, "Dad! Why are you showing him this kind of thing!"

The father and daughter were pulling at each other back and forth between the living room and the kitchen doorway. The father held up his phone and joked, while Tian Xiwei rushed to grab it, even kicking one of her slippers away. The mother shouted from the kitchen, telling them to stop! Ran Xiaoqing and Tian Xiaomei chimed in while secretly laughing.

The room was filled with laughter, curses, and footsteps.

As dusk settled outside the window, the sound of firecrackers occasionally broke the silence of the town. Tian Xiwei's house was bustling with activity; this year's New Year's Eve dinner was exceptionally lively compared to previous years.

Su Liu hadn't experienced such a joyful and heartwarming scene for a very, very long time.

At that time, he was on another timeline.
