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

Back in his room, Cheng Che sat on the edge of the bed and let out a long sigh.

He slumped onto the bed, took out his phone, and prepared to reply to various messages as usual.

The first to be affected, naturally, was her own mother, Ms. Lin.

Ms. Lin: Cheng Che, you're really famous now, you know? Entertainment companies even called me today!

Ms. Lin: I don't understand this either. Do you have any thoughts?

Ms. Lin: What are you thinking about all day while you're recording this show? Why do you keep doing such bad things!

Ms. Lin: And another thing, do you like Xiao Tian?

Ms. Lin: Although there is a significant difference in your social status, your mother and father will support you!

Cheng Che thought for a moment, then his fingers flew across the screen.

Cheng Che: Just ignore the entertainment company that's contacting you.

Cheng Che: Xiao Tian and I are just colleagues. Mom, please don't stir up trouble online every day.

Ms. Lin replied very quickly, clearly having been glued to her phone the whole time.

Ms. Lin: Okay, if any entertainment company calls me again, I'll just hang up.

Ms. Lin: It's just a work relationship? If it's just a work relationship, why do you call her "Xiao Tian" every day and even make her ginger soup?

Ms. Lin: Do you think you can keep this from your mother?

Ms. Lin: By the way, how did you know I was stirring up rumors about you two being a couple online?

Cheng Che: ...Oh, I guessed.

Ms. Lin: You little rascal, you've got some nerve, daring to scam your own mother!

"..."

That sounds like swearing...

Cheng Che's head is bigger than two heads.

This episode is unbelievable! His own mother is leading the charge in shipping him and his friend as a couple. Isn't that ridiculous?!

It's true that a mother often resembles her son.

He didn't reply and exited the chat with Ms. Lin.

The next person to reply was naturally the editor "Deadly Blade".

Deadly Blade: Master Zero, two-thirds of your three-day agreement has passed. How is your writing progress?

Deadly Blade: Everyone on the site, from readers to the editor-in-chief, is waiting for your update. You can't let everyone down!

Upon seeing this information, Cheng Che smiled dismissively.

Cheng Che: Shh, it's all finished typing, I'll post it now.

Deadly Blade: ? ? ? ?

After Cheng Che finished speaking, he logged into the author's backend and published the entire text of "Wings of Mourning" in one go.

……

……

Right now, in the next room.

Whether it was truly effective or mostly a placebo effect, Tian Xiwei's stomach felt significantly better after drinking the ginger soup.

She's currently snuggled up in bed watching the trending topics.

As a celebrity in the entertainment industry, she naturally pays more attention to trending topics on Weibo than the average person, not to mention that her name has frequently appeared on the trending list in recent days.

She scrolled down the trending topics list and then quickly froze.

Because a topic was prominently displayed in the lower middle section of the trending topics list—

#Cheng Guangxiwei#

The topic was followed by the word "new".

Tian Xiwei blinked and stared at those four words for a long time.

It took her brain a while to disassemble and reassemble the four words, and then another while to understand their meaning.

Cheng Guangxiwei?

Cheng, Guang, Xi, Wei?

Could this be...?

She clicked on it.

The topic was started by a user with the ID "老磕家".

"#ChengGuangXiWei# Let's start a topic to record this. There aren't too many things to ship yet, but every single one is a gem!"

Attached below are several screenshots from the "Wandering Diary" live streams of the last three days.

On the first afternoon of the show, when she got on the bus, she found Cheng Che sleeping. She cautiously but curiously stared at him.

There was a cooking competition that evening. She was holding a small bowl of braised noodles with potatoes and green beans, her eyes curving into crescents. Cheng Che watched her quietly from the side.

There was a time when, after dinner, Cheng Che was playing the erhu and singing in Grandpa Xie's courtyard, and she was gazing at his profile while resting her chin on her hand.

And... at noon today, she bought takoyaki and, in order to shut Cheng Che up, she directly used a bamboo skewer to stick a takoyaki ball into his mouth.

She scrolled down through the comments one by one.

Netizens call her "Xiao Tian" and Cheng Che "Brother Che," taking screenshots of every interaction between the two and analyzing them frame by frame.

The level of seriousness was like that of the best archaeologist who had unearthed the rarest fossil and was carefully brushing away the dust with a small brush.

"When Che-ge sang 'Fireworks Fade Easily,' Xiao-tian's eyes were practically sparkling when she looked at him!"

"After Xiaotian fed Che Ge the takoyaki, he turned his head away, definitely shy, his ears were all red!"

"Last night, Che-ge handed Xiao-tian ginger soup. I'd call it the best ambiguous scene of the year. There wasn't anything excessive between them, not even a word. He just blinked and nodded. It was so sweet and affectionate!"

Tian Xiwei raised her hand and touched her forehead, feeling a little hot.

Just now, her agent called her.

I first noticed her period was early while watching her live stream, and I was concerned about how she was feeling and whether she was experiencing any discomfort.

But after she said she was fine, the topic gradually shifted.

The other party began to tease her in a meaningful tone, and also teased Cheng Che, urging her to keep up the good work and win Cheng Che over as soon as possible.

The other party even hinted to her that the company did not object to her continuing to befriend Cheng Che.

Because Cheng Che has been incredibly popular lately, coupled with his enormous potential, the company believes that as long as Cheng Che can maintain this momentum, it wouldn't be impossible for Tian Xiwei to create a romantic pairing with him.

After all, their fanbase as a couple has already started to grow rapidly on the internet.

The trending topic "Cheng Guangxiwei" right now is the best proof of this.

"call--"

Tian Xiwei let out a long sigh, rubbed her face, and exited the trending topic, preparing to look at something else to calm herself down.

She continued scrolling down and was surprised to find that the third trending topic below #ChengGuangxiWei# was also a new entry—

#Zero《Wings of Mourning》#

Tian Xiwei's eyes lit up.

She vaguely remembered those four words; it seemed to be a prequel to "Dragon Raja"?

She thought for a moment, then clicked on it.

The pinned post at the top of the entry is an official Weibo post from a novel website:

"Zero's 'Dragon Raja Prequel: Wings of Mourning' is officially released in full today. This time, it's not just about the passion and loneliness of youth, but also about the sacrifice and devotion of the ancestors. The story takes place more than a hundred years ago, about the young Principal Angers and his companions."
