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

They chatted in the courtyard for another half hour or so until a bit of a breeze picked up outside, at which point they gradually dispersed and returned to their respective rooms.

See you tomorrow!

Tian Xiwei waved goodbye to everyone.

Cheng Che imitated her and said goodbye to everyone.

Just before they parted ways, Tian Xiwei suddenly took Cheng Che's hand and secretly hooked her fingers in his palm.

Cheng Che raised an eyebrow, but didn't say anything, returning to his room with a normal expression.

Unlike the biting cold wind outside the window, the room was warm and cozy.

The inn is a standard Japanese inn, with no beds, only tatami mats.

A wad of cloth was laid out in the inner part of the room, with blankets and pillows neatly arranged.

There was a low table next to it, on which sat a small kettle and two small teacups.

Yes, it's almost exactly like the rooms in those Japanese dramas.

After taking a shower, Cheng Che lay down on the tatami mat.

It is indeed a bit firmer than a regular bed, but not too bad, considering it's winter and there's a thick mattress underneath.

Sleeping with someone like this once in a while is harmless; in fact, it feels quite novel.

Cheng Che brought over his laptop, finished today's update, and prepared to continue typing for a while.

With the release of Dragon Ball 3 up to this point, and considering the upcoming plot, it can be described as a true climax from beginning to end.

Therefore, Cheng Che's current level of enthusiasm for his work is no less than that of the yellow sponge.

After typing for about ten minutes, a slight noise suddenly came from the courtyard.

Then, with a "whoosh," the glass door was pushed open, and a gust of cold wind rushed in.

Cheng Che looked up, and as expected—

Wearing pajamas and barefoot on the wooden floor, Tian Xiwei tiptoed into the room.

She turned around, closed and locked the glass door, then ran to Cheng Che's side like a fluttering butterfly, lifted a corner of the quilt, and squeezed in by herself.

She tilted her head and leaned it on Cheng Che's shoulder.

After completing all this, she let out a sigh of relief: "What a difficult and dangerous operation!"

"You're breaking into a private residence late at night without permission, do you know that's illegal?" Cheng Che said seriously.

"If you don't lock the door yourself, it doesn't count as breaking in."

"That's illegal without my permission!"

"Should I leave?" Tian Xiwei asked.

"Then let's forget about it," Cheng Che said seriously. "Since we're already here, I'll reluctantly accept it."

Tian Xiwei snorted and decided not to argue with him.

Her feet were still a little cold from the long journey, so she pressed them against Cheng Che's legs.

After Cheng Che cooperated and clamped down, she took out her phone, opened the Chinese website, and started reading the newly updated Long San.

Lu Mingfei took Uesugi Erii to the upscale restaurant that Caesar had booked for them, where they met his uncle and aunt's family.

Because of a few minor mishaps, his seat was taken by his uncle and aunt, leaving the group staring at each other in an awkward silence. Lu Mingfei sheepishly admitted his mistake and barely managed to calm his aunt down.

The meal was quite eventful. Erii, with her princess-like demeanor, completely saved the day for Lu Mingfei, won over her uncle, and infuriated her aunt.

Just then, Genjiro was about to arrive at the battlefield, and Lu Mingfei hurriedly prepared for a life-or-death escape with Erii. At the same time, someone bypassed Genjiro, the patriarch, and issued a 100 billion bounty for Erii's capture.

In an instant, all the gangs on the island went crazy, rushing to capture Lu Hui and her companion.

Along the way, Lu Mingfei was slashed with a knife, hit by a car, and had his neck broken by a baseball bat, but he gritted his teeth and never abandoned Erii, protecting her like a knight...

"Sigh." After reading it, Tian Xiwei sighed deeply.

"What's wrong?" Cheng Che turned to ask her.

"The Lu Mingfei that Erii sees is completely different from the Lu Mingfei that others see," Tian Xiwei pointed out incisively. "So Erii will definitely fall in love with Lu Mingfei, right?"

"And we readers will also come to like Erii in the process, so Erii and we readers are doomed."

She has a very clear understanding of herself, and more importantly, she also has a clear understanding of Cheng Che.

Cheng Che scratched his head, chose to remain silent, and continued to write the subsequent plot.

After some time, the two prepared to turn off the lights and go to sleep.

Cheng Che's phone suddenly rang at that moment.

He looked down and saw the caller ID: Xiao Tang

Cheng Che was about to ask why she was calling so late at night when Xiao Tang's voice came out like a rocket launcher—

"Brother Che, something terrible has happened!!!"

Cheng Che's head was spinning from her yelling, and he quickly pulled the phone away.

What's going on?

He just swept through the entertainment industry, and his popularity on the streets has reached its peak. What big thing could happen to him?

Surely it's not like someone else is trying to scam him again, right?

That's incredibly audacious!

Tian Xiwei blinked silently to herself.

"What happened? Tell me about it," Cheng Che asked.

"Great news! This is fantastic news!" Xiaotang's voice came through the phone again.

"...?" Cheng Che was speechless.

Why is your assistant speaking in such a breathy manner?

"What good news? What good news?" Tian Xiwei couldn't help but interject.

"Huh? Is Che-ge and Xiao-tian next to you? You two are still up at this hour?" Xiao-tang was taken aback. "Could it be that you two are filming a show...!?"

"Get to the point," Cheng Che interrupted.

"Okay." Xiao Tang cleared her throat, suppressing her excitement. "Brother Che, the Spring Festival Gala production team called and said they'd like to invite you to their show!"

Cheng Che touched his nose: "Whose Spring Festival Gala is this?"

Which TV station or which video app is it?

"Who else could it be but the Spring Festival Gala, watched by the entire nation!"

"Huh?"

Cheng Che and Tian Xiwei were both stunned for a moment.

"...You've been scammed, haven't you?" Cheng Che said. "It's already December, are they looking for people to perform on the Spring Festival Gala now?"

"Brother Che, you're an outsider, you don't understand," Xiao Tang said disdainfully. "The Spring Festival Gala does start preparations very early, but not all the programs selected at the beginning can be kept until the end; some programs can be rejected at any time."

"December is a particularly hard-hit month, with countless programs being canceled every year. The production team is currently searching the world for replacements."

"What a coincidence! You're currently very popular, and you even sang a song called 'Dragon Scales of Heaven and Earth.' You have popularity, new works, and positive energy."

"That's why I came to find you!"
