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

Time marches on, and the sun rises little by little.

Cheng Che leaned against the headboard, and Tian Xiwei sat in his lap, her back pressed against his chest, her whole body sinking into his embrace.

Cheng Che placed one hand on her stomach, neither making any rash moves nor remaining completely still.

The former is fear, the latter is a life instinct.

He stared at the ceiling for a while, and suddenly wanted to ask: Is this a reward or a punishment?

If you call it a reward, then there's no denying it. Early in the morning, you have a warm and soft woman in your arms, and you can even "get physical" with her in a little way.

But calling it punishment doesn't seem wrong either; he had already started silently reciting Amitabha Buddha in his heart.

Gradually, Tian Xiwei seemed to vaguely realize something, and a little blush rose on her cheeks.

She suddenly realized that her actions might have been a case of reaping what she sowed.

After hesitating for a long time, she bit her lip, and looked at Cheng Che with her big, watery eyes, which seemed to be able to overflow with tears.

"actually……"

She opened her mouth, ready to say something, but Cheng Che pinched her lips shut as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Alright, stop." Cheng Che said with a stern face, glaring at her fiercely.

Nonsense!

Some things are better left unsaid; having Buddha in your heart still has some use.

But if I were to say it, Buddha would likely be censored.

"Ugh..." Tian Xiwei couldn't speak, she could only stare at him with wide eyes, her expression innocent and aggrieved.

Why are you being so fierce...?

"..." Cheng Che sighed, rested his chin on her shoulder, and whispered, "It's fine as it is now, no rush."

"We have a lot more to come," he added.

Tian Xiwei paused for a moment, then smiled with her eyes crinkling.

She stopped talking, but instead, through her pajamas, she placed her hands over Cheng Che's hands and shook her head.

The two lingered in bed for a while longer until Sister Zhang and Xiao Tang knocked on the door to urge them to get up.

When they left, the two held hands and swaggered around, meeting up with Sister Zhang and Xiao Tang outside the hotel.

"Finally, it's official! We don't have to keep it a secret anymore." Tian Xiwei was very satisfied.

"Congratulations," Cheng Che said.

"Same to you, same to you." Tian Xiwei chuckled. "We're really amazing! We survived such a dangerous moment. Doesn't that count as a perfect ending?"

Cheng Che rubbed her head: "Strictly speaking, it's our official announcement that has come to a perfect end."

"But this matter isn't over yet."

What a joke.

What do you mean by saying that you all slander me, then realize I'm a difficult person to deal with, stop slandering me, and then the matter is over?

This is ridiculous!

He is a demon orb, not a spirit pearl!

There's never been a reason for a time traveler to have to swallow their anger!

"...I understand what you mean." Tian Xiwei nodded.

……

The four of them boarded the car and embarked on their journey back to Shanghai.

"What are you going to do?" Tian Xiwei asked.

"To be honest, I don't really have any particularly good solutions," Cheng Che sighed.

He will definitely pursue those marketing accounts that maliciously spread rumors and slander, and those "experts" who exploit the hype.

But when it comes to methods, he can only use the same old tricks.

There was nothing he could do. Although he was a transmigrator, this world neither allowed cultivation nor cared about bloodlines. He wasn't really "Number Zero," and he didn't have any overwhelming power behind him.

Even if he's a genius at coming up with ideas, he won't find anything unique or guaranteed to work when it comes to this kind of thing.

"Just do your best," Tian Xiwei said, patting his head reassuringly.

"Xiao Tang, I asked you to get ready. Are you ready?" Cheng Che looked at Xiao Tang.

"I've already prepared it, Che-ge, should I send it now?" Xiao-tang asked.

Cheng Che asked her to prepare a statement demanding an apology from the person who spread the rumors, otherwise he would definitely pursue the matter to the end.

"No rush, let's wait a bit longer," Cheng Che said.

He felt that things had gotten big enough and that everyone should have realized his authority.

However, he felt he wasn't entirely authoritative enough, and even if he issued a statement demanding accountability, probably not many people would take it seriously.

So let's wait and see.

Wait for something that might happen that allows him to "borrow the tiger's power" (i.e., act like a fox borrowing the tiger's might).

……

……

In the afternoon, Cheng Che and Tian Xiwei returned to their home in Shanghai.

"Home is still the most comfortable place."

Tian Xiwei sighed, then snuggled up on the sofa with Cheng Che.

"Now that things have come to this, let's reply to some messages," Cheng Che said, taking out his phone.

Upon hearing this, Tian Xiwei did the same.

Their official announcement was a truly grand affair.

This led to the impression that the whole world knew about it, and countless people sent them all sorts of messages.

Among them, their beloved family and friends, Xia Ziyi, contributed twelve voice messages. No one knows how she did it. Each voice message lasted for dozens of seconds and there was hardly any repetition.

Moreover, the core message conveyed was only twofold: first, to congratulate them, and second, to subtly inquire about their wedding date and whether they needed bridesmaids or other important figures.

For example, Xu Anan sent them a long message, almost to the point of being a "short essay," sincerely wishing Cheng Tian and his wife well.

Cheng Che and Tian Xiwei had never seen Xu Anan post so many words in their lives, and they were deeply moved. They thought to themselves that Sister Nan was a person they could get along with!

These are friends, and besides friends, there's family...

Both Cheng Che's and Tian Xiwei's parents sent a tremendous amount of condolences immediately.

And remarkably, they adopted the exact same three-step questioning strategy—

First, I criticized the two of them for being so selfish. They had been dating for a month and hadn't even told their parents. It was outrageous!

Secondly, congratulations to the two of them on finding a partner, and they expressed their satisfaction with each other, saying that such a good daughter-in-law/son-in-law is hard to find even with a lantern!

Thirdly, there is...

"When are you bringing her back for a meal?"

Cheng Che scratched his head, and Tian Xiwei scratched her head too.

To be honest, both of their parents live in Shanghai, so meeting their parents wouldn't be difficult.

However, meeting the parents is likely to be a difficult thing.

So after discussing it, the two of them finally agreed to use being busy with work as an excuse to postpone it for now.

After replying to all the messages, the two were numb and collapsed onto the sofa.
