Who said this top flow is crazy! This top flow is awesome!

"What did you say? You're married?!"

When Sister Honey heard this news, she felt as if she had been struck by lightning.

But thinking about it, it does make sense. From her perspective, the whole thing is strange and abrupt, because she didn't know that Jin Xia was pregnant, nor did she know why the two of them suddenly got married.

Is this considered a whirlwind marriage?

Actually, it doesn't count. After all, they've been together for so long, and they've officially announced their relationship. Most importantly, they already have a child, and their relationship is stable and good. In the eyes of Chi Ye and Jin Xia, it was a natural progression.

"Yes, what are you surprised about? I'm marrying Teacher Chi, not someone else. What's so surprising about that?"

The old lady's words were reasonable and well-founded; after listening to them, Sister Honey couldn't find any reason to refute them.

Do...do your family know?

"I've already made the call."

"...So I'm the last one to know, right?"

Honey's tone was tinged with sadness.

"No, no, you're the third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh... eighth one, right?"

This summer, she smiled and said, "Honey, don't be sad. You're number eight in my heart."

Honey: "...Thank you for comforting me."

It's better not to offer comfort.

My heart is broken, I'm no longer in love, and I also feel that these two have become more and more like each other since they got together. Even the little drama queen who used to be so good to me has become so bad.

"So... what are your plans? Are you planning a honeymoon, or... a wedding?"

"Well... I haven't decided yet. Let's wait until he's done with this busy period."

"Are you going to make it public?"

"Didn't we just make it public a while ago?"

"I'm talking about marriage, not a relationship."

This summer, she frowned, thought for a moment, and shook her head: "Let's talk about that later. Anyway, it doesn't affect anything right now."

Honey was speechless for a moment.

Although both are official announcements, dating and marriage are different. One is subject to change, and the other... well, it may be subject to change now, but marriage is a big deal all over the world. Now that they have obtained their marriage certificate, the wedding and official announcement are just around the corner.

We should at least start preparing.

"Fine, I don't care anymore, and I can't control you... Anyway, you've already registered... But since you've already registered your marriage with him, you're really going to be together for life. Sigh... With your personality, I don't know what will happen in the future."

"Honey, what are you saying? I'm fine."

The old lady was somewhat dissatisfied with Honey's attitude, mainly because of the worry that Honey unintentionally revealed: "In your heart, am I really that worthless?"

"Xiaxia, of course you're not bad, you're just... you're just a little love-struck."

Is being love-struck a bad thing?

"Uh……"

Honey was stumped again.

Seeing Jin Xia's happy face, she suddenly realized that she had indeed been meddling in other people's business. She had witnessed Jin Xia and Chi Ye's love all the way from the beginning, when Chi Ye was nothing. She had been by Jin Xia's side since then.

Along the way, she witnessed Chi Ye's growth and rise, as well as the process of Yeguo's development from scratch. The first initial funding was approved by Jin Xia Studio at the time.

how to say…

Ikeno is a typical intelligent person. I don't know exactly how intelligent he is, but the fact that he has reached this point in just a few years speaks volumes.

This summer is also a smart person. She is far from being as superficial and pretentious as outsiders think. At least in her heart, she should be clear about everything. As someone who is close to her, Sister Mi knows this better than anyone.

The love between two intelligent people should have been filled with interests and calculations, but these two seem to have broken the norm.

This summer's intelligence is never superficial; she seems willing to take the initiative to play the "weaker" side. Chi Ye's intelligence is never directed at this summer, and he never harbors any ill intentions when he's around her.

They are willing to give and compromise to each other, and even when they are trying to get along, they consider each other's feelings.

It's not surprising that the two of them eventually got together.

It's just unknown whether the two will still have such a deep relationship in the future. After all, people change. Mi-jie is particularly distrustful of Chi Ye's personality. She feels that if anything is going to change, it will be Chi Ye.

Looking at the big-name artists that Yeguo has signed, such as pop diva Shi Daifu, top stars Shang Youshu and Shi Jinwei, it is a dangerous sign in her opinion.

……

Chi Ye was unaware of Mi-jie's concerns, but after obtaining their marriage certificate, he did make a decision that no one had ever considered before, which surprised everyone—to take a vacation and go on a trip.

This holiday, though called a holiday, is actually a honeymoon, just called a different thing.

Looking back on Chi Ye's development over the years, he has been either filming or doing business. In short, he has always been busy and has achieved great results. To this day, whether in official circles or within the industry, he has become a leading figure in the Chinese entertainment circle.

His first film, "The Boss," seems to have come true over the years, making him a real "boss."

It's normal to pay a price for such a thriving business, the most obvious one being time.

After getting his marriage certificate with the Empress Dowager, Chi Ye seemed to have rediscovered himself. This was a spiritual change that made him no longer feel anxious and restless in the middle of the night, wondering if he would wake up one day and find himself back on Earth.

It's also a subtle change, as if a voice from the horizon is telling him: This is reality.

In short, Ikeno wanted to relax after a long time.

His first battle this summer was none other than the "See You" cabin in the capital. This place was not demolished after "See You" was taken off the air. The two of them even visited this place on the first night of the show.

Mango TV would never do a business at a loss. Due to the popularity of "See You", the place was bought and converted into a guesthouse. The location where "See You" was filmed has been turned into a small photo spot.

Wearing baseball caps and masks, and without any assistants, Chino and Jin Xia walked into the photo spot like an ordinary young couple, holding hands and strolling around.

"Here."

Chi Ye walked to a white round table and handed something on the table to the old lady.

The Empress Dowager accepted it naturally, looking rather furtive: "Won't anyone see us?"

"It's okay if you see it, I'll cover for you."

"...This place has changed so much."

"There's definitely been a big change. A lot of people come here to take photos."

Ikeno and Jin Xia didn't stay there for long. The room they used to live in had long since changed, so there was no need to go back in to see it.

Then came the second stop, the third stop... until the fifth stop, when they flew to France together. On the banks of the Seine, they found a quiet place, and late at night, Chi Ye sang "Confession Balloon" alone for Jin Xia.

The honeymoon was cancelled because both of them were scheduled to perform on the Spring Festival Gala this year. However, Chi Ye had a long-awaited relaxation during this time. To be honest, this honeymoon was different from what many people would expect; it was more about Chi Ye walking around, with Jin Xia following behind.

This summer, Ichino's behavior was sometimes strange, because in his impression, Ichino was a talkative person who would complain about everything he saw, and he was also good at speaking, which made people laugh.

During this trip, Ikeno rarely spoke, only silently watching and listening, giving off a deliberately pretentious vibe.

Of course, this summer I don't think Ikeno is a miracle worker, because in terms of Ikeno's career, there is probably no one in China who can be more of a miracle worker than him. After all, he has an overwhelming lead in popularity and traffic, and he holds several Guinness World Records. Just talking about it makes you feel how radiant he was at his peak.

"Teacher Chi, why have you been so silent?"

I thought you would ask me if I was unhappy.

No, it won't.

"why?"

This summer, after thinking for a moment, she said seriously, "Because I can feel that you don't seem unhappy. You really like being around me, just like... I like being around you too."

Chi Ye, unusually serious, didn't joke around and asked thoughtfully, "Xia Xia, do you believe in superpowers?"

"Ok?"

This summer, she let out a soft "Eh?": "Someone like Professor Chi?"

Ikeno: "Pretty much, maybe... a little more exaggerated than that?"

After all, Professor Chi went through countless hardships to return to his hometown and finally achieved his goal, while this was a case of instantaneous teleportation, which is indeed incomparable.

"As for this... I believed it when I was a child, but as we grew up, we all became scientific warriors of materialism."

"You're asking me this? Do you believe in these things?"

Ikeno shook his head: "I don't believe it."

But I experienced all of this.

He recalled the system in his mind that hadn't been active for a long time; its favorability had accumulated to an outrageous level, and he couldn't think of anything else he could extract from entertainment.

But these likes keep increasing.

Sometimes he wondered what would happen if these likes increased to a certain number and level.
Since it hasn't stopped, it means it's still effective.

"If... one day you wake up and find that I'm not by your side, what would you do?"

This summer, she frowned and carefully examined Chi Ye with her beautiful peach blossom eyes: "Teacher Chi, what's wrong with you? Why would you ask such a question?"

Chi Ye remained silent for a long time, then suddenly smiled and said, "Because I'm a lucky fool."

This summer: "?"

Chino glanced sideways: "Let's go, it's time to go back to rehearsal."

This summer, I was feeling down: "Teacher Chi, please don't scold me, okay?"

Ikeno asked in surprise, "Huh?"

"You call yourself a lucky fool, so if I fall for you, wouldn't I be the biggest lucky fool?"

"...A logical genius as always, you truly live up to your reputation, Jin."

"Chi, you must be careful with your words and actions!"

"..."

The two chatted and laughed all the way back to their respective rehearsal rooms.

……

Chino looked back and carefully reflected on his words and actions, so in that instant, he blurted out that he was a fool with good fortune.

It felt like he had suddenly become a different person. He considered himself to be a straightforward person, and at least he never thought about such things.

As the saying goes, overthinking is useless, and asking the Empress Dowager such a question is pure foolishness, completely illogical and unreasonable, and inconsistent with his consistent style and code of conduct.

Now that I have a child, I should work even harder to develop my career and make the most of everything I have.

The Spring Festival Gala went relatively smoothly. Chi Ye sang an old song called "Heaven and Earth Dragon Scales," finally fulfilling her wish of never having sung this song on the Spring Festival Gala before.

He spent this year's Spring Festival with Jin Xia; the two of them didn't go back to Jin's family home, but stayed in the capital.

Of course, the message was still sent. This summer, she made a video call home, but Chi Ye didn't make a video call, mainly because she was afraid of being awkward. She just sent Sheng Ning a WeChat message.

Not long after, Sister Ning sent a red envelope containing 8888 yuan. Her generosity prompted Chi Ye to send a few more New Year's greetings.

Finally, Sheng Ning told him to "get lost" before things calmed down.

The situation was similar with other relatives and friends; this year's Spring Festival was spent happily in this ordinary yet blissful way.

It was indeed rather uneventful, because Ikeno himself didn't have any movies released this year, so he couldn't participate in the hottest film season of the year, the Lunar New Year. In fact, he's been taking on very few roles lately.

It is expected that the next time it will appear will be during the National Day or Spring Festival next year... most likely the Spring Festival.

Although I had been thinking about releasing it during the National Day holiday, after thinking it over, the Spring Festival seems to have a larger market, better symbolism, and a deeper influence.

"Brother Chi, this is a summary of the project funding and revenue for 'Nirvana in Fire'."

That day, Chi Ye received a summary of the "Nirvana in Fire" project from Coco's side.

The broadcast of "Nirvana in Fire" was a great success, airing on two TV channels and two online platforms. It received a score of over 9 on Douban at the start, and its viewership and online streaming numbers have repeatedly broken records. As the saying goes... Chi Ye is indeed Chi Ye.

Following the success of this project, in his address, Chi Ye mentioned that all six major productions he collaborated on with Kiwi were huge successes, with some even becoming absolute smash hits.

Love O2O, My Sunshine, Nirvana in Fire, Joy of Life, The Silent Truth, Lurk...

These dramas were not just almost all of them, but every single one of them was a huge hit in terms of both critical acclaim and viewership. Because of these six dramas, Coconut has soared to a new level, and the company's reputation has instantly become an industry benchmark within just one or two years.

Somewhat like the midday sun on Earth, it's an absolute legend for the entire Chinese entertainment industry, and it makes Chi Ye, after officially announcing his relationship, seem even more "unfathomable"... In other words, his persona has changed; he's no longer the artist he once was, but a true bigwig in the Chinese entertainment industry.

"Haven't you ever thought about creating something again?"

The head of Hunan TV rubbed his hands together, looking at Chi Ye very attentively. "Nirvana in Fire" has finished airing, and the copyright of Yezi TV that Hunan TV bought has also finished airing. So when will the new project be launched?
"We have a lot of projects. Our company has quite a few dramas in production right now."

"I'm talking about you, your own creation."

"As for myself... I'll wait, I don't have time right now."

"No time?" The head of Hunan TV was taken aback.

Chi Ye glanced at the calendar in the office: "Yes, we're busy getting married and having the wedding first. We'll talk about everything else after the wedding."

"Huh?" (End of Chapter)
