Chapter 75 Extra 14

Zhou Han stood frozen in place after turning around, even his breathing became soft, until Ling Wei approached, her warm breath brushing against his neck:

"You like me."

This is not a question.

Zhou Han's Adam's apple bobbed with difficulty. Faced with such a blunt question, he lowered his eyes and said, "...Yes."

"You won't tell me if I don't ask?" Ling Wei's fingers traced his chin, where the stubble from his recent shave still left some marks, with a grainy texture, which sent a shiver down her spine.

"I have two friends, you know that, right?"

"Um."

"You don't mind?"

“I…” Zhou Han smiled bitterly and looked up. His usually calm eyes were now filled with an almost humble struggle. “I’m so much older than you… Over the past few years, I’ve watched you climb up the ladder step by step, and I’ve seen other people standing next to you… How could I have the nerve to stand next to you?”

His voice grew softer and softer:

"If I could... I wish I had been born ten years later, or met you sooner. Right now, even jealousy seems ridiculous... I don't even... have the courage to say I like you..."

He closed his eyes, as if finally unable to bear the burden any longer:

"I know I am not good enough for you, even delusion is presumptuous..."

Before he could finish speaking, his collar was suddenly grabbed, forcing him to lean down, and his unfinished words were silenced by soft, warm lips.

Having gotten the answer she wanted, Ling Wei kissed him directly.

The kiss was forceful and irresistible, lasting until both of them were breathless before they parted.

She gently pushed him down onto the sofa, sat down, cupped his flushed cheeks, and affectionately nuzzled her nose against his.

"Enough with the nonsense. From now on, I'll ask, and you answer."

In the dimly lit room, the air gradually became humid and sticky.

"...Do you like it this way?"

"...Ugh..."

How about this?

"!!!"

"dislike?"

"No..." Zhou Han suddenly chuckled softly, wrapping his arms around the person on top of him, burying his burning face in the crook of her neck, his voice trembling with disbelief, "So... this is what it feels like to be cared for by you..."

He raised his head and finally took the initiative to kiss those longed-for lips, his voice unusually hoarse:

"I don't understand... Teacher Ling can teach me slowly."

Ling Wei narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.

It can be adjusted, which is great.

After some time.

An angry knocking sounded outside the presidential suite of a hotel that had been cleared out.

Zhou Han slowly opened the door, his bathrobe loosely tied around his neck, the collar slightly open, revealing a faint red mark on his collarbone.

He looked languid, as if he had already anticipated the visitor's arrival.

Two identical, tall figures stepped into the room one after the other. Lu Zhao caught a glimpse of the mark on Zhou Han's neck, and his eyes instantly reddened. He rushed into the bedroom without a second thought.

Zhou Han turned slightly to the side, not stopping him, but instead looked at Lu Yan, who was not moving at all, with a leisurely air: "I thought I would at least take a punch."

"And then what? So you get the chance to play the victim and gain her sympathy?"

Lu Yan's voice was icy, "Director Zhou truly lives up to his reputation as a variety show director; his grasp of human nature is extremely accurate. He probably already secretly set up certain segments to guide Weiwei, waiting for her to fall into his trap, didn't he?"

He did some research and was surprised to find that this person had been making his presence felt from time to time ever since Weiwei left Yaojiang.

A guest at the Golden Horse Awards? Ha, I got the invitation myself; the hotel? Ha, I deliberately chose to be on the same floor as Weiwei.

He took a step forward, his aura suddenly dropping: "It's a real pity that the little actor who offered himself up wasn't arranged by you. Otherwise, you would be out of the game by now."

Zhou Han smiled slightly and did not deny it: "I just happen to appear whenever she needs me."

His tone was calm, yet every word was piercing: "Perhaps, even God is on my side."

These words struck Lu Yan squarely where it hurt.

His eyes darkened as he saw Zhou Han straighten his bathrobe.

"Before I came here, I was wondering what kind of person my opponent would be." Zhou Han chuckled, calmly sizing up the person opposite him as if looking at a sulking young man: "Now I see, one is clueless, and the other... is unhappy."

There is nothing to fear.

Just then, Ling Wei's cheerful voice came from the bedroom: "Hahaha, it tickles, stop it—"

The smile on Zhou Han's face suddenly froze.

Lu Yan calmly curled his lips and said, "Ah Zhao is impulsive, but he has one advantage: for Weiwei, he can lower his bottom line infinitely."

He calmly walked past Zhou Han, his voice low, "Why do you think I didn't stop him? Sorry, I didn't follow the script Director Zhou wrote."

Underestimating others will lead to losses.

Zhou Han stood there, listening to the laughter coming from the bedroom. For the first time, he realized that he might have underestimated his opponent. Some people who seem brainless actually have the most direct way to break the deadlock.

Meanwhile, there was an external brain cheat code outside. Zhou Han's eyes darkened slightly, and his gaze clashed with Lu Yan's in mid-air.

In the end, the two reached a silent consensus: this person probably can't be driven away.

Four years later.

A star-studded awards ceremony.

Ling Wei walked calmly onto the stage and accepted the trophy symbolizing the highest honor from the award presenter. Under the spotlight, she wore a dark green dress and smiled brightly and confidently.

The live chat was already buzzing:

Does Director Ling's studio have some kind of Midas touch? Xiang Wanxing just won Best Actress last year, and Qi Mo is also a Best Actress!

[I heard that Best Actor Yu Huan was also discovered by Director Ling from an advertising studio!]

[I'm begging Director Ling to teach a class! How can I get into the studio?!]

During the interview, a reporter boldly asked, "Director Ling, your love life has always been a subject of much attention. What are your current..."

Ling Wei winked playfully, interrupting him, her tone carrying just the right amount of coquettishness: "Oh dear, today is my big day, and you're asking about other people, I'll be sad."

Her eyes sparkled, instantly making the young reporter blush.

Seeing this, other reporters turned their attention to her creative philosophy and future plans. Ling Wei spoke eloquently, and her insights into the industry and her dedication to content were truly impressive.

Finally, holding the trophy, her gaze swept across the entire audience, her voice clear and firm:

"Many people ask me the secret to my success. It's actually very simple: always be curious about the world, have insight into human nature, and then tell every story honestly. Power and wealth may change, aesthetics and trends may shift, but the power to touch people's hearts will never go out of style."

She slightly raised her chin, and the spotlight cast a dazzling halo around her.

"And what I want to do is become the one who creates 'eternity'."

Author: Ququ

Finally finished writing!

Actually, we were rushing to finish towards the end, otherwise I would have liked to make some adjustments, but alas, it's already 150,000 words!!

Each volume is longer than the last!

To those of you who're complaining about mixed rice bowls and stews, this isn't a certain Tang Dynasty website, okay?! With such a dignified and kind-hearted moderator here, we honest folks wouldn't dare to mess around, okay?!

I originally planned to write about the apocalypse for the next world, but after some thought, I realized that the apocalypse is more suitable for a long novel, so I'll remove the apocalypse setting for now. (Not only that, but cultivation novels are also really suitable for long novels, otherwise I'll finish it at 400,000 words and switch to a long novel...)

Let girl groups take the lead in the next world! The ensemble cast of the second world was loved by many, so there will be more ensemble casts in the girl group world.

And this time, the older ones will definitely be served first!! So you won't all think I only let the younger ones go first.

As for why I'm so sure... hehehe, I'll keep you in suspense for now.

(Don't hit me) (A new world is opening up, and following this story will mean another rollercoaster ride) (I can only resort to some underhanded methods to keep you here)
