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

The taxi drove smoothly through the streets of Tokyo.

The road was clean, and the buildings outside the car window gleamed with a light gray sheen in the sunlight.

Perhaps to provide better service, the driver glanced at the two young men in the rearview mirror and asked:

"Where are you from?"

Tian Xiwei instinctively wanted to say "I love China".

Before she could even speak, Cheng Che beat her to it.

Cheng Che raised his head and straightened his chest, speaking in a solemn and confident tone with a strong voice:

"Vadashiva, Kyunggokuchi, Des!"

"Oh!" The middle-aged man was taken aback at first, then grinned, "Qiong Gou Ku Ji, Li Hai Li Hai!"

Oh?

Cheng Che was somewhat surprised.

He immediately nodded in satisfaction: "Sydney is the best!"

The middle-aged man nodded, "Li Hai, Li Hai!"

"Sri Lanka No. 1!"

"Li Hai!"

"Sri Lanka No. 1!"

"Li Hai!"

And just like that, the atmosphere inside the car quickly began to heat up.

Two men, nearly 20 years apart in age, met for the first time. With the same enthusiasm as Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei swearing brotherhood in the Peach Garden, they engaged in a profound exchange, perhaps existing only on a spiritual level, using each other's languages ​​with less-than-perfect pronunciation.

Tian Xiwei sat beside them, listening to their conversation, and her expression gradually changed from "speechless" to "relieved".

She chose to remain silent.

The viewers in the live chat were laughing uncontrollably.

[Hahaha, what are these two doing? If they keep chatting like this, should they become sworn brothers?!]

[Look closely, this man is called Xiao Cheng. He's traveling in an island country with his girlfriend, Xiao Tian, ​​but he's left Xiao Tian behind and is having a lively conversation with a stranger, a taxi driver.]

[Suddenly I feel sorry for Xiaotian; having a son like Che in the family isn't necessarily a good thing (thinking).]

Men, amazing creatures, their friendship transcends language and age!

The taxi zigzagged and twisted, but soon arrived at its destination.

As Cheng Che got out of the car, he solemnly clasped his hands in a fist salute to the driver and declared in a resounding voice, "Arigato Goza Imas!"

The driver rolled down the car window and solemnly clasped his hands in a fist and palm salute: "Goodbye!"

Cheng Che stood outside the hotel and watched the taxi drive away before letting Tian Xiwei pull him into the hotel.

The inn doesn't look very big, with only a small entrance, but it's surprisingly spacious inside.

The reception desk is made of wood, and the lighting is warm. Walking along the corridor, you can see rows of room doors.

Cheng Che and Tian Xiwei separated briefly as they each went to their rooms to pack their luggage.

On one side of the room, towards the back, is a full-length glass sliding door, leading to a wooden-floored corridor.

Further out, there is a small courtyard with a camera set up inside. Pine trees are planted in the courtyard, and a cobblestone path is paved with a small pond beside the path.

On a winter afternoon, the sunlight slanted down from above, spreading into the courtyard and into the rooms.

Cheng Che casually put down his suitcase, pushed open the glass door, and sat down on the wooden platform that extended out from the outside.

After a while, Tian Xiwei also finished packing her luggage in the next room and came to the courtyard, where she sat down next to Cheng Che.

"It's just like the houses I saw in cartoons!" Tian Xiwei swung her legs back and forth.

"Yoshi." Cheng Che nodded.

"..." Tian Xiwei suddenly lost the desire to communicate with him.

Fortunately, at that moment, they heard the sound of a door being pushed open next door.

Xia Ziyi peeked out from the next room, and her eyes lit up as soon as she saw them. She ran towards them.

"I'll deduct a few watts from you, I'll deduct a few watts from you!" she shouted as she ran, waving her arms as if to unleash a "Give Me Back My Beauty Punch".

"Ziyi." Tian Xiwei smiled and waved to her.

"I'll deduct a few watts from you!" Cheng Che waved back.

Xia Ziyi ran to their side and said "Soga" to each of them.

"...You didn't also choose that challenge that can only be done in Japanese, did you?" Tian Xiwei realized something.

"Soga soga!" Xia Ziyi nodded.

"Yoshi yoshi!" Cheng Che looked at her with an appreciative expression.

Xia Ziyi looked at him, a hopeful glimmer in her eyes: "Soga?"

Cheng Che affirmed, "Yoshi!"

"Soga soga!" Xia Ziyi suddenly seemed to have received some great encouragement, and kept saying "Soga" with her hands on her hips.

[No, haha, aren't Che-ge and Xia-jie just fellow patients?]

[It's rare for Sister Xia to be able to compete on equal footing with Brother Che on a single project!]

[I declare Che-ge the winner! It's clear from the looks of it that Che-ge's Japanese vocabulary is miles ahead of Xia-jie's!]

Seeing Che Ge's conversations with the driver and Xia Jie, I suddenly understood the show's deeper meaning: the meaning of language isn't language itself, but rather the transmission of emotions; the words themselves are completely unimportant!

At that moment, perhaps hearing the commotion in the courtyard, the glass doors of several neighboring rooms were also pushed open.

Xu Anan, Yan Lei, and Liu Xianhua came out of their respective rooms one after another.

"I'll deduct a few watts from your account!" Cheng Che greeted the three of them.

The three of them immediately understood.

"Xiao Cheng and Xiao Xia both took that mission?" Yan Lei said, holding a silver-gray thermos. "It's a good mission, interesting."

Cheng Che: "Yoshi!"

Xia Ziyi: "Soga!"

Tian & Xu: Facepalm in exasperation.

"The missions Dahua and I received are a little different from yours," Yan Lei continued. "Our challenge is to go to a nearby ramen shop, eat their spiciest ramen, and not drink any water."

"We both accepted," he said.

Henry Lau stood to the side, head held high and chest out, his expression proud, like a warrior about to step onto the battlefield.

"So, Dai Si Nai..." Cheng Che indicated that he understood.

The group chatted idly in the courtyard for a while. As the sun rose higher, it was almost lunchtime.

After a brief discussion, the group decided that since Teacher Yan and Liu Xianhua were going to eat devilishly spicy ramen, they might as well go along.

The ramen shop wasn't far from the hotel, and the six of them planned to walk there.

On a winter afternoon, the sunlight carried a slight warmth.

The signs on both sides of the street were colorful and densely packed, and every now and then a few bicycles would brush past them, their bells ringing.

Yan Lei and Liu Xianhua walked at the front, with Liu Xianhua humbly discussing with Teacher Yan how to deal with the extra spicy ramen.

Xia Ziyi and Xu Anan walked in the middle, with Xia Ziyi hopping and skipping around, interacting with passing cats, dogs, and even the vending machine "Deduct a few watts".

Xu An'nan kept an eye on her to prevent her from bumping into the utility pole due to not watching where she was going, while also casually turning her head to look behind her every now and then—

Cheng Che and Tian Xiwei walked side by side, holding hands. Every now and then, the latter would tiptoe and whisper something in the former's ear, making them both laugh.

Xu Anan smiled secretly and looked ahead again.
