Chapter 48: The CEO Wears Red Long Johns and Has a Stricter Image Management System Than an Idol…
"Wear long johns."
Fu Yanli glanced out the window and reminded Xu Wenci expressionlessly.
Xu Wenci, who was sitting on the edge of the bed pouring water, stopped what he was doing and deliberately teased Fu Yanli: "Are you cold?"
"A little," Fu Yanli said, turning his head away sheepishly.
What he hated most was that Xu Wenci pretended not to care about things even though he was clearly obsessed with them, and could quickly forget all the unpleasantness after arguing with him, and then talk to him normally.
However, this can largely avoid questions he doesn't want to answer.
Xu Wenci stood up, tilting his head as if he didn't understand, and said, "I've worn it."
Fu Yanli also stood up, "But I can't wear it."
Xu Wenci: You don't need to emphasize it. I know.
“You have to come with me to the family banquet,” Fu Yanli winked at Xu Wenci again, his tone much lighter than before: “But I forgot what happened when I went to the Fu family before, tell me about it.”
Xu Wenci remained silent.
He crouched down and took out Fu Yanli's diary from the cabinet.
See for yourself.
Fu Yanli laughed twice. A few days ago, he found his diary and was thinking of trying to trick Xu Wenci into knowing if he knew about it. He didn't expect Xu Wenci to find his diary without any hesitation.
"Um, move closer to me..." Xu Wenci frowned, estimating the distance between them, afraid that he might suddenly become unable to move.
Fu Yanli took a step closer and chuckled, "Okay."
As he spoke, he patted Xu Wenci's shoulder, but the moment he touched him, he seemed to suddenly remember something, quickly withdrew his hand, and still smiled: "Why didn't you tell me to wear more layers?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Wenci no longer felt the urge to roll his eyes. He simply pursed his lips and let Fu Yanli say, "Alright, then wear more clothes."
Fu Yanli, who was waiting for these words, raised an eyebrow and pulled back the covers.
Xu Wenci was startled by the commotion and turned his head.
Hidden under the blanket was a pair of thermal underwear and several hand warmers.
Xu Wenci sighed and rubbed his forehead.
Why are thermal underwear red?
When discussing business, do you unconsciously cross your legs, revealing your red thermal underwear underneath? Isn't that embarrassing?
Wait... what did I just see? Red thermal underwear? [squinting][squinting][squinting]
【Wait, did I watch a pirated copy? [Sigh] I remember paying for it... [Rubbing eyes]】
[That's how it is for transmigrators... They can't be domineering CEOs. Being a domineering CEO is like being a strictly monitored idol in every way. Life is utterly joyless. [despair][despair][despair]]
The long-silent comments began to surge wildly.
However, some of the words in the comments were distorted, and some even turned into gibberish.
It may be because it is not stable.
Moreover, the barrage comments have been appearing for a very short time recently, and the next appearance time is not fixed.
There are more variables now.
Xu Wenci couldn't help but squint his eyes in thought.
[Stricter than idol image management, hahaha [clutching stomach][rolling around][laughing hysterically]]
Fu Yanli, who had a heat pack stuck inside his shirt, looked up and everything went black.
Why are all the comments section members laughing at him?
He's already in such a terrible state!
Xu Wenci turned around and walked straight to the door. "I'll close the door for you."
Fu Yanli, holding thermal underwear and hand warmers, caught up with Xu Wenci, saying, "Wait for me, wait for me, we can't be more than a meter apart."
Compared to Fu Yanli wearing thermal underwear, Xu Wenci was actually more interested in the bullet comments.
Do you know what will happen at the Fu family banquet today?
Xu Wenci looked up and asked.
The live chat exploded with comments.
Of course I know! [Chin resting on chin][Chin resting on chin][Chin resting on chin] I'm happy to answer any questions about beautiful women! [Slide tackle][Conjure roses][Hold roses in mouth][Wink]
[Upstairs, you're just putting out the hook but not the feed! [Middle finger emoji] I'll talk! [Raises hand emoji]
The comments were even more childish than Fu Yanli's.
Xu Wenci knew roughly what would happen because it was all stipulated in the script.
However, Fu Rongzhen suddenly awakened, and he became a variable.
We need to ask the comments section what might happen.
Although the information in the bullet comments is much later than his, its reliability is also greatly reduced.
Actually, thinking about it this way, it seems that the comments section has even less information than the viewers themselves.
[I know, I know. Actually, Fu Rongzhen invited Ye Qingdai to this family dinner, but Ye Qingdai didn't come...]
Then, Fu Yanli's sister arrived...
The comments in the background were all illegible. Some looked like they were covered with huge mosaics, some turned into a bunch of gibberish floating in the air, and some were scattered like paint, making it impossible to tell which one was complete.
Moreover, the comments in the bullet screen are different from the script.
It's different from the current script and the previous ones.
Xu Wenci frowned.
Logically, the content that the viewers in the live chat know now is probably from the previous script.
Could it be that the author inadvertently revealed the plot she planned to write?
Strictly speaking, Fu Rongzhen hasn't awakened. The credibility of that comment in the live chat is very low.
Given Fu Rongzhen's personality, he is an excellent villain.
Especially after learning about the script, he became a more qualified and excellent villain.
Besides, could there be other people who have awakened?
Does the script really allow for so many people to awaken?
Xu Wenci frowned, his mind racing with thoughts.
The younger sister is incredibly cute, but she's infatuated with her "white moonlight" (ideal love interest) and has a lot of issues with the protagonist (the other character). She also doesn't care about the Fu family's opinion, so she caused a huge scene. I saw this in the author's note in the previous chapter [proud][proud][proud]
Xu Wenci was even more puzzled.
In the script, the incident that caused a disturbance at the Fu family's residence was committed by Fu's eldest son, who is also Fu Yanli's uncle.
As a result, the Fu family was embroiled in an even deeper scandal.
The script is now... different from the author's vision?!
Does that mean that the script is not actually a limitation imposed on them by the author, but rather a help given to them by a more powerful force outside the author?
And the limitations imposed by the author...
Xu Wenci narrowed his eyes, and almost immediately he remembered Fu Yanli's domineering CEO rules.
He figured it out.
He finally figured it out!
So he must have some rules too.
But he didn't.
The author will definitely not let him off the hook.
He must have rules.
But where did they go?
If Fu Yanli knew about this, he would definitely ask me how I broke the rules.
No wonder Fu Yanli was so emotionally unstable a few days ago, questioning himself why there were no rules...
At this moment, Fu Yanli walked out of the ward, humming a distorted version of a song, and swaggered happily toward Xu Wenci.
A pair of pale, almost sickly hands gripped his suit cuffs. The blue gemstone cufflinks made the hands appear even paler, so pale that the faint purple veins beneath the skin were clearly visible.
Fu Yanli's heart skipped a beat. He looked up and was met with Xu Wenci's deathly pale face.
“Fu Yanli,” Xu Wenci licked his lips, exhaled, and seemed to be organizing his thoughts, “there is something you must know.”
Fu Yanli looked intently at Xu Wenci, who had suddenly become somewhat weak for some reason. He stood up straight and gently patted Xu Wenci's forearm through his sleeve.
He was listening attentively.
Xu Wenci glanced up and gave an expression that said, "I knew it."
The comments section has disappeared again.
"Your rules might be restrictions the author imposed on you to prevent you from breaking character." After quickly saying this, Xu Wenci swallowed hard, his heart still pounding.
It seemed about to leap out of his chest.
"I know." Fu Yanli paused for a second, then patted Xu Wenci's forearm with a smile.
Xu Wenci was also stunned: "Then...why didn't you tell me..."
Fu Yanli replied with an expression that seemed perfectly natural: "You don't have any such specific restrictions, so there's no need for you to know."
The limitations of Xu Wenci's work are only the general framework.
There are no specific rules or regulations.
Unlike a puppet wrapped in silk threads, where even a single breath can affect the fingers of the puppet.
Xu Wenci pursed his lips and subconsciously pushed Fu Yanli, but he was too weak to move Fu Yanli and instead stumbled. He laughed mockingly, "Fu Yanli, you're watching me guess and deduce like a clown, deducing your plan step by step... Don't you feel great about that..."
Fu Yanli did this again.
It's always like this.
She may seem to obey him and be afraid of him, but in reality, she keeps everything from him and tells him nothing.
He shouldn't have been so soft-hearted as to agree to that damn mission.
The prerequisite for completing the mission is that they are of one mind. How could there be that between them?
He should obediently wait for punishment after accompanying Fu Yanli to complete that damn impossible task!
"I... I didn't..." Fu Yanli's guilty explanation didn't sit well with Xu Wenci, who found it utterly pointless.
It's really boring.
He knew perfectly well that Fu Yanli was like this, and that he wouldn't change.
Why did he waste his emotions on this pointless argument with Fu Yanli?
After waiting a few seconds, Xu Wenci took a deep breath, remained silent for two seconds, and accepted the fact that Fu Yanli did not trust him. He then changed the subject, "Do you know that this novel is plagiarized?"
Anyway, he didn't trust Fu Yanli.
"I know a little, but I can't be sure."
Fu Yanli lowered his eyes, licked his lips, and then spoke.
After all, the comments mentioned it briefly, but they didn't confirm it, only saying it was a rumor.
“The author is the creator of this novel, and absolutely controls this fictional world, possessing absolute power and control over it,” Xu Wenci closed his eyes, pretending not to remember the previous argument, “but who has more power than this author?”
Fu Yanli's eyes widened.
The system cannot intervene in the plot of this world; it can only rely on the host to intervene indirectly.
Moreover, the original ending cannot be changed.
The system will exclude it first.
"It's the author whose work was plagiarized..."
Xu Wenci said softly.
Xu Wenci seemed to have something more to say, his already pale face turned even paler, and the lingering smell of blood made him momentarily stop thinking. Then, his eyes turned, but he fell backward without warning.
Fu Yanli took Xu Wenci's hand and tightened his grip, sighing with obvious worry and sadness in his eyes.
This is something that shouldn't be said aloud.
Xu Wenci was indeed very perceptive, so he naturally attracted the attention of both allies and adversaries, and those people were eager to become his allies.
But the script, by its very nature, gave him the opportunity to form an alliance with Xu Wenci.
How could he possibly let this opportunity slip by?
The destined one.
Destined one, we will help each other a lot.
If he had only noticed that the rules were intentional on the author's part, then everything Xu Wenci just said filled in all the gaps.
He gently placed Xu Wenci on the bed, covered him with a thin blanket, and then sat on the edge of the bed, staring at Xu Wenci's eyelashes.
He suddenly leaned down, as if thinking of something, and gently blew on Xu Wenci's eyelashes.
He and Xu Wenci were destined for each other, so why did they end up in this situation that is completely opposite to the script?
Xu Wenci showed no reaction and was unable to answer his question.
The worry in Fu Yanli's eyes became clear the moment he learned that Xu Wenci was unconscious.
He immediately reassured himself that Xu Wenci's fainting was simply because the author didn't want him to talk too much, and he would wake up soon.
However, his gaze kept drifting towards Xu Wenci, and his fingers, uncontrollably, gently pinched Xu Wenci's cheek.
He froze upon realizing his action, his fingers twitched, but he ultimately withdrew them.
He began to understand why his relationship with Xu Wenci had deteriorated to this point.
Xu Wenci felt nauseous when he was around.
He still didn't understand what was going on.
Is this a physiological aversion, or some kind of... more malicious curse...?
This setting, where even touching it would make one feel disgusted, whether true or false, completely eliminates any possibility between them.
Since Xuwen Ci has no rules, there is no possibility that he will be restricted by any rules.
If the plot is set up this way, it's too far-fetched, because plots usually set up a certain event so that it eventually returns to its final course, rather than controlling people.
One possibility is that the author plagiarized, and perhaps fearing discovery, changed his and Xu Wenci's character settings, but the plot didn't change much, so the character settings got worse with each change.
However, the author may have started revising the content because the plot completely collapsed.
Fu Yanli rubbed his slightly sore temples, looked up, and glanced at the empty ceiling. A huge sense of powerlessness spread from the bottom of his heart.
The script can predict what will happen next, but it also subtly brings everything back on track.
Or...
The script can help him and Xu Wenci awaken, thereby dragging the plot down.
This world is essentially a personal celebration.
However, because of the initial character design references, it turned into a collision of a group of vibrant lives.
He lowered his eyes again, looking at Xu Wenci's pale face, and frowned with heartache.
Previously, he had always wondered what his personality was like.
Is this his original personality, or did the rules shape his personality?
But Xu Wenci didn't think that way.
All he cared about was survival and life.
Also, kill him.
It's kind of funny.
He didn't want to admit it, but the first time he saw Xu Wenci, he didn't even get a clear look at her, yet he was captivated, just like in the script, and fell in love at first sight.
He was constantly working against the script.
In everything he does, he insists on letting the script quietly watch how he turns the tables and succeeds.
But he didn't want to let Xu Wenci down, since he had fallen in love with her at first sight.
