I'm a web novelist, and you want me to work in the entertainment industry?

After finishing his conversation with Xiao Tang, Cheng Che leaned against the bedside and finished updating Long San's story for the night on his laptop.

The plot has progressed to the point where Su Enxi, the potato chip girl, makes her grand entrance, and Caesar's stallion father finds Principal Angers and tells him that a "god" is reviving in the island nation, and the principal is preparing to personally go to the island nation to suppress it.

Today, the book review section was unusually free of comments like "short and weak," replaced by a peaceful atmosphere.

"Waaaaah, he updated! He updated! He didn't abandon his readers just because he's famous in the entertainment industry!"

"The novel *Rice Fragrance* is truly divine, but please, please don't forget to update it! 'A wife who has shared hardship should not be abandoned,' Master Ling!"

"666 Am I a girl?" (referring to a wife who has shared hardship) "...But if it's a zero brother, I don't think it's impossible."

I still prefer your unruly side... Cheng Che smiled with satisfaction and closed the comment section.

He glanced at the time; it wasn't even eleven o'clock yet, so he wasn't in a hurry to go to sleep.

Since things have come to this... let's chat with Xiaotian for a while.

Cheng Che closed his laptop and took out his phone.

Before I even opened WeChat, a pop-up window appeared—

"King Oda invites you to a voice call."

Connected—

"What a coincidence, I was just about to look for you," Cheng Che said.

"Really?" Tian Xiwei's voice came from the phone. "That's quite a good understanding."

"Do you remember our bet today?" she asked.

"A bet?" Cheng Che recalled for a moment, remembering the competition he had with her this morning to pick water hyacinths. "I remember."

"What? Have you decided what you want to ask?"

"I've made up my mind!"

"Then you speak," Cheng Che said calmly.

"Call me 'sister'," Tian Xiwei said.

"Huh?" Cheng Che was taken aback.

"I said—call me 'sister'!" Tian Xiwei emphasized again, word by word, "My request is that from now on, when we're alone, you have to call me 'sister'."

"I'm older than you, so this request is reasonable, isn't it?"

"That makes perfect sense." Cheng Che touched his nose.

She's older than me, so I have to call her "older sister"... There's absolutely nothing wrong with that!

But is this really a requirement?

Is this a reward?

This should be a reward, right?

"Then go ahead and yell!"

"Sister?" Cheng Che asked tentatively.

"Good girl!" Tian Xiwei chuckled. "Come here, let me pat your head."

"If you also had a magical artifact, maybe you could touch my head in your room." Cheng Che rolled his eyes.

"It's not impossible. If I ever get a celestial artifact in the future, I'll definitely give it a try!" Tian Xiwei said earnestly.

"...Then good luck." Cheng Che offered a somewhat unhelpful word of encouragement.

"Speaking of celestial artifacts," Tian Xiwei suddenly sighed, "what happened today was quite enlightening for me."

Although it was only for one day, from any perspective, the attitude of Yang Mo's family towards life is particularly commendable and worthy of learning.

"Indeed," Cheng Che sighed. "It's not easy for anyone."

Many people have it tough... but he has to admit that he actually has it pretty "easy".

So Yang Mo's story also touched him deeply—he was very lucky, but he shouldn't take it for granted just because he got it so easily; instead, he should cherish this luck even more.

Additionally, if possible, we could try to help those who are less fortunate.

Well... the main problem is that he's done a lot of despicable things. Although he hasn't done any major despicable things, he's done almost every minor one.

You should make time to do good deeds and accumulate some merit to counteract the negative effects.

"But Dali is really beautiful," Tian Xiwei changed the subject. "I will definitely remember the scenery I saw today for the rest of my life."

"It is indeed very beautiful, but unfortunately there are cameras following us, so we can't do many things," Cheng Che said.

Although the production team rarely interferes with the guests, the difference between having cameras and not having cameras makes a huge difference.

Moreover, he is always followed by a photographer, and except for certain occasions, it is hard not to attract attention.

"That's true." Tian Xiwei wholeheartedly agreed.

"By the way, do you have any work after you finish recording in Dali?" Cheng Che asked.

"Those few days after it ended should have been uneventful," Tian Xiwei replied after thinking for a moment.

"Why don't you not rush to buy plane tickets?" Cheng Che suggested. "Why don't you stay here an extra day and just relax and have some fun?"

……

"Sure!" Tian Xiwei readily agreed.

Dali is a popular tourist destination. Find a nice guesthouse by Erhai Lake and just stroll or bike around the lake – it'll be very relaxing!

"Wait while I tell Sister Zhang."

After she finished speaking, she switched to the chat interface and sent a message to Sister Zhang.

King Xiaotian: Sis, have you booked your plane ticket back?

Sister Zhang: ?

Sister Zhang: What are you saying? Of course I ordered it.

Tian Xiwei was not surprised—this is normal; to avoid delays in their travel plans, people usually book their flights in advance.

King Xiaotian: I want to stay in Dali for one more day.

Sister Zhang: ?

Sister Zhang: What's the reason?

King Oda: Guess!

Sister Zhang: Still? You seem so happy.

Sister Zhang: Tsk tsk tsk, let me guess, is it some noble pig that invited you to stay and play for a day?

King Xiaotian: No pig asked me out, but Cheng Che did.

Sister Zhang: You're still defending me? I said you're a pig, and you're a pig!

They've taken all my cabbages! What else could they be but a pig?

He's a pig to me for life, even if he's a pig for a day!

Sister Zhang: If you want to stay, then stay. Anyway, my schedule is open for those few days.

Sister Zhang: You two should be careful lately, especially tell Pig to be careful, don't be too cocky.

King Xiaotian: I understand, thank you, sis! I knew you were the best!

Sister Zhang: Who is better, Sister Zhang or Cheng Che?

King Xiaotian: Sis, listen to me, we're not curious about these kinds of questions.

Sister Zhang: Haha.

Tian Xiwei made a face at the screen.

……

"I'm all set on my end," Tian Xiwei's cheerful voice rang out.

"That's great," Cheng Che said.

Of course, he had no problem either—he was the emperor, he could go wherever he wanted, and Xiao Tang not only had no right to interfere, but also had to revolve around him.

"Oh, by the way, Sister Zhang told me to tell you to be careful lately and not to be too cocky," Tian Xiwei added.

"What? Does she have some inside information? Has someone finally taken a dislike to me?" Cheng Che blinked.

Is someone trying to sabotage me?

I'm really looking forward to it...

The revolutionary songs and poems in my head are already impatient!

"Based on my understanding of her, she probably just thought you've been showing off lately, so she said that as a casual remark," Tian Xiwei said truthfully.

"All right."

What? So someone was trying to mess with me after all...

Oh my God, this is so sad.
