Have you ever been a celebrity? Why are you writing about entertainment?

Chapter 104 Yu Wei, the Domain God
"Teacher Yu, isn't this a bit too much..."

As the tour continued in the afternoon, the seven-person group led by Yu Wei had completely let loose and started openly auditing classes.

In the morning, they only dared to listen secretly, but now they don't hide from people anymore. They even squeeze to the front of the class to audit it, as if afraid that other tour guides won't see them.

This is the confidence that Yu Wei gave me!

Everyone knew they were tourists of Yu Wei, so they all turned a blind eye and let them linger, since no one was there to guide them.

Actually, this kind of situation of "snagging" tour guides is common in scenic spots. As long as you can keep quiet and not steal the show, there's nothing wrong with standing there and listening to the tour.

The other tour guides readily accepted this arrangement. Since they were going to give lectures anyway, it didn't matter if one more or one less person did it. In a way, they were helping Yu Wei out.

Only the production crew couldn't accept this situation. Yu Wei's tourists were running around everywhere. What were they filming?

There's no way a tour guide would be completely alone...

Forget about the show's entertainment value; at this rate, there won't even be many usable shots. We can't just Photoshop Yu Wei's face onto other tour guides, can we?

"Teacher Yu, let's call them over."

The production team didn't ask for anything, they just hoped that they could at least maintain the formation and pretend to be in formation.

Yu Wei felt that the staff member made sense. After all, they were recording a program, and it was not a good thing to freeload off the tour guide. It could not be called an unhealthy practice, but it was certainly not something that could be done openly.

To cooperate with the production team, he called the seven people back. The other tour guides were very sensible and subconsciously raised their voices to ensure that the people standing far away could hear them.

They're all incredibly shrewd...

"Since you're all so lively and active and love to wander around, let's call you the Shrek Seven Devils."

"?"

I didn't understand it, but it didn't sound like a good word.

The seven looked at each other, and had no choice but to obediently stay behind Yu Wei and continue their tour. Actually, they didn't really want to audit the class; they just wanted to show off to the other tourists.

If you win the lottery, do you still go to work? Of course, who are you pretending to be if you don't go to work? They're pretty much the same; if they don't visit other tour guides, how can they emphasize that they're Yu Wei's tour guide?
Now that the goal has been achieved, it's only right to obediently follow along.

During his visit, Yu Wei glanced at his phone and saw that Qi Luoan seemed to have arrived in Hengdian, but he didn't know why he had come.

I have no idea what she wanted to do here...

Writers are good at imagining things. Yu Wei has already envisioned a classic scene where the male and female protagonists brush past each other in a crowd, in slow motion.

However, with such a large production team, she wouldn't have made a mistake if she had eyes, unless she's truly blind.

The group walked along the winding bluestone road, and the "Tianlan Pavilion" teahouse standing beside the Pearl River came into view first.

Beneath the gilded wooden eaves, Fang Ze gently knocked on the doorpost: "This world's number one teahouse witnessed the filming of 'The Burning of Opium at Humen'."

Although the development of culture and entertainment on Earth has differed from that on planet Earth in recent decades, the wave of historical and classic works being adapted has never been absent.

History is a vast treasure trove, and cultural and entertainment works also draw nourishment from the long river of time.

Therefore, it's difficult to justify copying classical works in a completely parallel world, since there's no shared history. Even if the Four Great Classical Novels were to appear, their relevance to reality would be diminished.

Just as Yu Wei was stroking the mottled brick wall and sighing softly, a familiar figure appeared at the end of his line of sight.

Qi Luoan wore that shirt and asymmetrical skirt outfit again today, the same one she wore when we first met.

Yu Wei thought she simply liked the item, but Qi Luoan did it on purpose. She valued today's meeting and was therefore willing to use the "first meeting filter."

When people start talking about sentimentality and engaging in metaphysics, it means they've truly run out of options...

Sunlight filtered through the shadows of the trees beside them, scattering like golden fragments onto Qi Luo'an's sweaty face. She jogged along and finally caught up.

"Are you so anxious?"

Qi Luo'an's chest rose and fell gently. When he saw Yu Wei walking towards him, he gasped for breath and supported himself on his knees with both hands, like a fawn pausing to catch its breath.

Fine beads of sweat seeped from her forehead, rolled down her slightly flushed cheeks, and finally dripped onto her slightly open collar, leaving faint traces.

"I simply love running."

Yu Wei subconsciously lifted the sweat towel that the production team had prepared for him, but remembering that he had used it before, he hesitated for a moment and then put it back.

It's so hot, tour guides sweat a lot, and he's been wiping himself for a while now.

"Thank you."

Qi Luoan was exhausted, but his eyes were sharp. Without waiting for Yu Wei to explain, he grabbed her and wiped her face. He was covered in sweat, so why did he care about this?
As she wiped away her sweat, she felt a slightly salty scent mixed with the scent of grass and sunshine, which gave her a strange sense of satisfaction.

"Is it possible... I'll need it later?"

Yu Wei was just joking. If people don't dislike him, he certainly won't dislike them either. It just means that he still has to use them when necessary.

However, it must be emphasized that he doesn't like that kind of thing.

Upon hearing this, Qi Luoan used it and stuffed it into her small bag without saying a word. It was fine if she didn't use it; she would keep it as a keepsake.

"?"

I should have kept quiet.

However, Yu Wei could conclude that Qi Luoan didn't usually wear makeup.

After wiping away her sweat, a few damp strands of hair clung to her temples, which, far from making her look disheveled, resembled black jade inlaid in the pink glow, making her skin appear even more radiant.

In the previous times when Yu Wei looked at her like this, Qi Luo'an would have asked, "What are you looking at?" But today, she couldn't bring herself to say it.

Once you ask, he won't look anymore...

Yu Wei was quite sensible; after glancing at it twice, he consciously looked away. He simply had an eye for beauty, which he could use to accumulate material for his writing later.

"What about the other guests?"

Qi Luoan caught his breath and looked around but couldn't find Shen Yutong anywhere, so he tentatively asked her a question.

"It's like being an NPC in the Ming and Qing Palace scenic area."

The filming for the two groups of guests wasn't entirely the same; there were still some individual shots. Yu Wei was just curious how she knew there were other guests present. It seemed she had seen Shen Yutong and knew she was a celebrity…

"I'm going to buy some oranges. You stay here and don't move."

Qi Luoan got up and left, seemingly having other matters to attend to. Yu Wei didn't ask any further questions, but she finally got her revenge for that opportunistic remark.

Are they going to find Shen Yutong?

Yu Wei wasn't curious about their relationship, but Qi Luo'an's behavior was sinister.

If she came here on business, why did she come to see me first? If she came specifically for me, what is she going to do now?

Qi Luoan's behavior was more like checking if the items were still there before going to the thief to demand an explanation.

……

Tourists walked along the imperial path, where the dragon-shaped pillars on both sides spewed out fine mist, which reflected rainbows in the sunlight. Shen Yutong, dressed as a palace maid, watched in a daze, but seemed to catch a glimpse of the morning mist of the Forbidden City.

In fact, her idea was unfounded. The scenery here was just a replica and was quite different from the real Forbidden City.

As she walked through the rockery, winding pool, and floating wine cups in the Imperial Garden, she suddenly paused when she reached the Wanchun Pavilion, as if she had seen some rare guest who shouldn't be there.

"I didn't expect to run into you here. Did you just arrive?"

"No, I just went to say hello to Yu Wei."

Qi Luoan slowly walked to her side, and as if afraid that she would not believe him, he even took out a handkerchief to wipe the fine sweat from his forehead.

Shen Yutong recognized the handkerchief; the program team distributed the same style, and she had one herself.

"It seems you two have a good relationship."

Her curiosity about Yu Wei was actually related to Qi Luoan. As a childhood friend, she couldn't imagine that An'an would have feelings for a celebrity.

This person has always deeply resented the entertainment industry and spares no effort in criticizing celebrities. Any celebrity she approves of is definitely not an ordinary person.

“We’re still the best of friends. We’re practically inseparable, and we’ve only known each other for less than six months.”

"Ah……"

Shen Yutong didn't even want to refute her. So, if you're on good terms with someone, you should look at others before yourself? Do you really think she's stupid?

The cameramen on the show had already retreated more than ten meters away. Filming ordinary people was pointless, and they knew very well what they should and shouldn't film.

"I also want to ask you, didn't you say you didn't want to do variety shows?"

Qi Luoan asked her directly about her purpose for appearing on the show. Someone who claimed she would not appear on variety shows and would focus solely on music suddenly becoming a guest was obviously suspicious.

"Isn't it obvious? It's all for Yu Wei."

Shen Yutong had a faint smile on her lips. "Isn't it said in the entertainment industry that you can become famous by associating with him? There are quite a few successful cases. I'll give it a try."

"Don't come here."

Qi Luoan believed what others said—after all, which celebrity doesn't want to be famous?—but she didn't believe Shen Yutong's words because this person had ambition.

While others sing in hopes of becoming famous, she genuinely wants to make music.

Someone like her wouldn't stoop so low as to come to the show just to piggyback on Yu Wei's fame.

“An’an, you really understand me…” Shen Yutong seemed to really enjoy the feeling of being seen through, her gaze fixed intently on Qi Luo’an’s face opposite her.

"Just wanted to learn more about this versatile music creator."

Yu Wei's creative style is truly exceptionally diverse. To be precise, he currently doesn't have two similar songs, which is hard to imagine for other creators.

Especially during their brief encounter, Yu Wei's understanding of the song was so thorough that it was hard for her to comprehend... It was as if this person had cheated.

"So what did you find out?"

"He's very capable."

Shen Yutong unconsciously twirled the ends of her smooth hair with her fingers, a rare look of distress on her face. "I can't tell anything else. I might need to get to know her better."

There's not much research value in flopping; she's more interested in those works in comparison.

"it's useless."

Qi Luoan immediately clapped his hands in delight upon hearing Shen Yutong's insightful comments. "It would be strange if anyone could understand Yu Wei from a musical perspective."

"You can never understand him by focusing on his music."

"Yu Wei is essentially a loser. Only through his novels can you understand what kind of person he is. I understand losers better."

Her tone was unconsciously arrogant, and Shen Yutong unconsciously held her breath upon hearing this, clearly shocked by her words.

What kind of logic is it to try to understand a musician by reading their flops instead of their music?

Seeing Shen Yutong's puzzled expression, Qi Luoan was finally satisfied. Sure enough, he was the one who understood Yu Wei the most.

No matter how much others study it, it's useless. They should just give up on the idea. She is the real master of the Yuwei domain!
"You might be right."

Qi Luoan was just about to enjoy the fruits of victory when Shen Yutong suddenly spoke up, as if she had something else to say.

In novels, after the protagonist finishes his verbal sparring, doesn't the other party admit defeat? Why is there more to it?

"Perhaps you do know him better."

Shen Yutong remained calm, seemingly unconcerned. She spoke slowly and deliberately, asking a crucial question.

"But why are you in such a hurry?"

Is her childhood friend...?

Qi Luoan was about to retort when he suddenly remembered that he had been lying dead in the house just a few hours earlier, and his momentum unconsciously weakened.

This is because they're afraid Yu Wei will be used as a lab rat for research.
