Film and Television: The Collector Who Rampages Across the Heavens

It was past 7 p.m. at night.

The city of Yanjing, sculpted from ice and jade, is ablaze with lights. Every household is brightly lit, and the skyscrapers radiate a soft glow, making the city seem like a scene from a two-dimensional anime.

Inside the Western restaurant, a man and a woman were enjoying a delicious meal near the floor-to-ceiling windows, chatting occasionally in a pleasant atmosphere.

"I never imagined that a trip to Beijing a few years ago to clear my head would change the course of my life."

Xiong Qingchun took a sip of red wine, her delicate cheeks flushed, and her beautifully shaped neck was also tinged with pink. She looked at the handsome young man opposite her and said with great emotion.

"You could say that meeting me was a destiny-driven encounter between us."

Su Li knew this woman's original fate; if he had met her any later, he would have been on his way to death.

"Actually, I've always been grateful to you, really," Xiong Qingchun said sincerely.

"Of course I know. We've known each other for so long, we're practically close old friends. It's not hard to guess that you're trying to repay my kindness."

Su Li picked up her wine glass and clinked it with hers, saying, "Don't feel guilty. Just accept my kindness and you can repay me later."

"You're so understanding. How will you repay me?"

Xiong Qingchun chuckled and counted on her fingers: "Let's talk about money. The money I owe you since I started treating my illness, in small amounts, must be at least 500 million."

"You've promoted me now, but my annual salary is only a little over 40 yuan. It will take me at least 15 years to pay it off."

She shook her head, sighed, and said with a hint of pride, "Only someone like me would do that. If anyone else saw such a huge number, they would just default on the debt."

Su Li stared straight at her and laughed, "You can renege on your debt, I don't mind."

Xiong Qingchun blushed slightly under his gaze, coughed twice, and said, "You said I'm the kind of person who repays kindness. I would never default on a debt. Even if it takes another 20 years of working for you to pay it off, I wouldn't mind."

"Twenty years. How many twenty-year periods does one have in a lifetime? By then, your youth will be gone," Su Li reminded her meaningfully.

"But compared to what you gave me, what are 20 years of youth?"

Xiong Qingchun smiled faintly and said in a somewhat distant tone, "Trading 20 years of youth for a life, I think many people know how this deal is made."

"Okay, okay, whatever. It's certainly gratifying to have someone willing to follow me for 20 years."

Su Li said in a light tone, "Don't worry, I'm not that kind of heartless boss. I'll give you what I'm owed. You don't have to feel bad for yourself just because you owe me something."

Xiong Qingchun rolled her eyes at him and shushed him: "Do you think I'm that kind of person? If I were starving, I would definitely come to you first."

Even if something happens at 2 a.m., I'll call you immediately, because you're my boss!

"Hearing you say that, my happy mood is a little off... Do you think having you as a subordinate is a good thing or a bad thing for me?"

"Then you'll have to see for yourself..."

The two chuckled lightly, and the dinner quickly came to an end. They left the Western restaurant together.

The cold wind outside brushed against her cheeks, and the snow under her feet crunched as she walked on it. Xiong Qingchun's slender profile was reflected on the road.

After getting into the BMW, they soon arrived at Xiong Qingchun's place, a residential complex quite close to the company, which was the same house that Su Li had arranged for her before.

"Get some rest!"

As she pushed open the car door and got out, Su Li greeted her as usual.

Xiong Qingchun didn't reply immediately. Instead, she turned around and looked at him with her bright, beautiful eyes, asking in a calm and unhurried tone:

"It's so cold outside, would you like to come up for a cup of tea to warm up?"

Su Li looked at her in surprise and smiled, "If it's your invitation, then I will definitely go up."

They were both adults, and everyone understood what the girl was thinking when she invited him upstairs for tea.

Xiong Qingchun naturally understood that this boss and benefactor usually took good care of her, but was it really just out of kindness?

A naive and innocent girl might think that way, but she didn't. Xiong Qingchun had noticed the way this guy looked at her from time to time.

"Come if you want, don't come if you don't."

Xiong Qingchun said in a reproachful tone.

Su Li laughed, turned off the engine, got out of the car, and took her soft, smooth hand as they went upstairs like lovers.

The lights on the 17th floor were turned on and then left on until the early hours of the morning.

"Hahoo..."

Blowing out a puff of warm air, Xiong Qingchun propped up her sleepy eyelids and glanced at the time on the bedside table.

Around 11 a.m....

Meihao was wearing a T-shirt that no one knew who had given it to, and she walked out of the bedroom with her round, white legs in an awkward posture, wearing slippers that looked a little sluggish.

The sound of stir-frying came from the kitchen. A quick glance revealed it was the sound of eggs being fried in oil. Su Li was cooking.

Xiong Qingchun leaned against the wall, looked at Su Li inside, and chuckled, "Oh, so you're a big boss who can cook?"

"To be honest, my cooking skills have become rusty. Back in college, I was the best cook in my dorm. Those guys would bring back some local specialties every time they came back for a holiday, and we would all have a hot pot and stir-fry together, which was quite fun."

The dormitory that Su Li was referring to was the one in the main world. Ever since the first world, he had been treated like a superior person. The last time he had cooked was today.

"I'm going to wash my face and brush my teeth..." Xiong Qingchun yawned, revealing a slender and graceful figure, waved her hand, and replied, "I hope it's edible, but not poison."

"Don't underestimate me, just you wait and see."

When Xiong Qingchun came out again, breakfast was already laid out on the table. She took the chopsticks, picked up a piece of scrambled eggs with scallions, and tasted it.

"It's alright, just a little bland!"

"The eggs shouldn't be too salty, otherwise I won't be able to eat them at all," Su Li replied.

"This stir-fried green peppers with pork is alright, but the peppers don't taste right; they're not spicy at all."

"That's your fault. I think these chilies have been sitting for over a week, and they've lost about 70-80% of their moisture."

"The millet porridge was overcooked; it was almost like drinking soy milk."

Xiong Qingchun seemed to have transformed into a gourmet, constantly commenting on it.

"It's fine as long as you can eat it. Come on... eat more eggs. You used up so much energy last night, you need to replenish it." Su Li scratched her beautiful leg and teased her.

Xiong Qingchun rolled her eyes at him, embarrassed and annoyed, and opened her pink lips to eat heartily.

"Um... this is a perfectly normal situation, right?"

"Uh, what do you mean?" Su Li was a little confused about the meaning behind her words.

"You have a girlfriend, so I can't be a third party and ruin your relationship."

A bitter smile appeared on Xiong Qingchun's lips. She had met Luo Yiren, who had come to the company a few times. Luo Yiren was just as beautiful as her, and in some ways, she was even more charming.

Su Li held her hand, looked directly into her eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, your status with me is the same as Yi Ren's. If we have children in the future, we will naturally use the same educational methods, and you will receive everything you need."

Upon hearing this, Xiong Qingchun's pretty face flushed red, and her tone was sweet with a hint of coquettishness: "What do you mean, 'kid'? I'm talking to you seriously."

"I'm serious..."

Su Li spoke sweet words, but felt helpless inside. Whenever faced with this kind of situation, he had to paint a rosy picture of the future.

Otherwise, these girls will naturally become heartbroken and gradually drift away from him.

"Hate!"

"What's there to hate? Give me a kiss."

"We're eating..."

"Wouldn't that be even better!"
