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

Chapter 22 Who is more suitable as a partner?
Why haven't you replied to my message?

Yu Wei asked what was the last sentence from before: "I keep failing, will you keep watching?" They had been chatting happily, but after he sent that sentence, he didn't say a word for three days.

He wished himself to keep failing, and asked himself if he would keep watching. Isn't that a perfectly normal joke?

Qi Luoan naturally knew it was a joke...

But when she tried to jokingly retort, she couldn't bring herself to do it, and she didn't know why.

Despite her playful tone, what she really meant by wishing Yu Wei well was that he could continue doing what he wanted to do.

Similarly, Yu Wei's reply would then become, "If I do all this, would you be willing to accompany me?"

This is very ambiguous...

The feeling was subtle; even though she knew it was a joke, she still felt a joking tremor in her heart when she saw the message.

Qi Luoan hasn't replied to any messages for three days.

But she actually checked the private chat interface many times.

……

"She's not replying again."

Yu Wei waited for a long time without seeing a reply, and then realized that the other party had run away again.

Although he didn't know the specifics, this fellow reader was quite kind to him; not only was he considerate of him, but he also didn't reveal his identity to others...

More importantly, he is still following up on his own book, and the readers who follow him are all good comrades.

Yu Wei glanced at "This is An Shilei's" personal homepage. He was a 20-year-old male college student. Judging from the timing, it was exam week, so he was probably busy studying.

"Never mind, I'll ask again in a few days."

He valued this loyal reader quite a bit. Although the reader was somewhat mysterious, he was at least very candid when communicating with him.

If possible, Yu Wei would like to finish writing the singing segment in one go, but unfortunately the program has arranged a tea party tonight.

Drinking tea and chatting is the most relaxing and peaceful part of the show, and it's also the core highlight of interpersonal interactions.

It would be unreasonable for Yu Wei not to attend this conversation, so he decided to leave the rest of the story for tomorrow...

Staring at the screen for too long is a good idea; having some tea and getting some fresh air is a good alternative.

As dusk settled, the verdant lawn was gilded with a layer of silver frost by the moonlight. Several wooden square tables, arranged in a semi-circle, lay quietly in the open space outside the cottage.

When Yu Wei came down, the others were still tidying up. Fruits and snacks filled half the table, creating a lively atmosphere.

Beyond the lamplight, the night was deep and dark. The silhouettes of the distant trees, like splashed ink, further accentuated the tranquility of the courtyard. As everyone took their seats, Yu Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, his mind and spirit at peace.

Aside from the slightly muggy evening breeze, this party was absolutely perfect...

"How's the composition going, great musician?"

Tong Yulu quickly sat down next to him and started chatting idly, though it was somewhat joking, because it was indeed the question everyone wanted to ask.

Yu Weilai has been on the show for two days now, and apart from going out to walk the dog with Mumu yesterday afternoon, he has barely left the house.

They've seen original creators before, but his diligent, secluded creative work is still quite remarkable.

"not so good."

Yu Wei poured himself a freshly brewed cup of Pu'er tea. "It's all over now, let's start over."

He was essentially laying the groundwork for "Hear the Sound of Rain" in advance, since the lyrics he wrote last time weren't used, and giving them a heads-up would prevent them from being too surprised later.

"Overthrown?"

Even though they had guessed that Yu Wei had many tricks up his sleeve, they never expected him to be like this. While others build a foundation and gradually improve their songs, he just demolishes them whenever he wants.

They had seen the lyrics from last time; he actually said he didn't want lyrics of that caliber. Wasn't that being a bit too perfectionistic...?

Yu Wei didn't explain further. Those lyrics weren't entirely useless; what if he wrote another song called "A Thousand Miles Away" someday?

"The spirit of creation is about tearing down and starting over. Every overturning is a challenge to oneself and a reverence for creation." Chi Leying always knows how to say the most appropriate thing at the most appropriate time, and no one can find fault with her.

This kind of person is terrifying. Even though Yu Wei knew from the beginning that she was scheming, he had to admit that she was quite something.

Only a celebrity with a certain level of knowledge would say something like that...

Su Jian, who was sitting to Yu Wei's left, didn't beat around the bush. She directly put fruits and snacks in front of him, and soon the table was full.

This is genuine; they don't use any pretense to please people, they just take action.

"Thank you, thank you so much, I appreciate your help."

Yu Wei felt that if he didn't speak up soon, the man would start massaging his shoulders and back. He was really ruthless; with this kind of mentality, he would succeed no matter what he did.

Su Jian's behavior was both laughable and infuriating to others. This kind of vulgar flattery should have been despicable, but he was the only one who was truly noticed by Yu Wei.

Ultimately, it's because they can't let go of their pride; they want to flatter but can't bring themselves to do so, they want to fawn but can't take off their long gowns.

In comparison, Su Jian is probably the most insightful among them.

"Yu Wei, you've been here for two days now. Who do you think is the easiest to get along with among us?"

Tong Yulu's question was a bit offensive, but the production team immediately gave him a close-up shot, clearly taking it very seriously.

For variety shows that focus on interpersonal communication, this mutual evaluation segment is an indispensable part. Not only do viewers love watching it, but the guests present must also be curious about it.

"Fei Hong, I guess."

Fei Hong, who was pouring tea nearby, was flattered by the news. He hadn't had much interaction with Yu Wei, yet Yu Wei seemed to think he was the easiest to get along with.
But the others were not surprised at all. Having been on the show for so long, Fei Laoda was indeed the most reliable one, a point that even Tong Yulu could not refute.

To put it simply, people might be nice to you for something in return, but Fei Hong feels uneasy if he doesn't lend a helping hand to others.

"So, who do you think is more suitable to cooperate with?"

This was a question that required no further acting and a direct request for cooperation. Yu Wei had no reason to hesitate and, without a second thought, named Zhou Mumu.

In his view, if he wanted to find a business partner, he would look for Zhou Mumu; if he wanted to make friends, he would look for Fei Hong; but if he wanted to recruit a subordinate, he would definitely look for Su Jian.

The reason is simple: Zhou Mumu is honest and capable, Fei Hong is kind-hearted and has high emotional intelligence, and although Su Jian is not shrewd, he is truly capable.

This answer infuriated Tong Yulu. So, after all the times she tried to win Yu Wei's favor, he didn't leave any impression at all?
Hearing this, even Chi Leying felt a little depressed, though it was hard to tell. This person had a strange personality, and it would be difficult to get closer to him through ordinary means.

Even though the two of them seemed closer, Yu Wei actually preferred the others, and they themselves probably knew the reason better than anyone else…

"So, who do you think is more suitable to be a partner?"

Tong Yulu was probably confused with anger and a little resentful, which is why she blurted out something nonsensical. As soon as she said it, she regretted it. It's too easy for celebrities to be misunderstood when they talk about this.

But the production team was unusually excited about it; they wouldn't be sleepy talking about gossip, and the audience would definitely love watching it.

As for public opinion, this topic wasn't arranged by them...

"Well, after all, you can write such a delicately emotional song as 'Heart Wall,' so you must have your own unique understanding of love."

Fortunately, Tong Yulu wasn't stupid; she quickly added a comment, managing to salvage the topic somewhat and shift the focus from gossip to a discussion about relationships.

This question really stumped Yu Wei. He had a few relationships, but none of them lasted.

Society is becoming increasingly superficial, especially in the entertainment industry. Couples are forming and breaking up, so where are there any couples who will stay together for life?

"None of them seem suitable..."

Yu Wei smiled subtly, "I haven't really thought about that, but if I really have any expectations for love, I hope we can be honest with each other."

His words seemed simple, but Yu Wei was actually subtly telling them that none of them were honest enough, especially the person who asked that question.

Tong Yulu's expression froze upon hearing this, clearly realizing that Yu Wei's words contained a hidden meaning in his rebuttal.

But this is indeed Yu Wei's true thought: when two people are together, honesty is more important than anything else.

However, he seemed to have thought of this word elsewhere today as well...
