Rebirth: My Home Has Become a Gathering Place for Young Women with a "Crazy" Spirit

After filming the first part, everyone took a five-minute break to prepare for filming the second part. Qin Lang looked at the finished video and nodded. He had to admit, Huang Ziqiang had really studied hard; the video was quite good.

Su Yue leaned against the pink electric scooter with her arms crossed, tossed the script onto the scooter, and said with a pout, "Brother Lang, I don't think we'll get any viewers this way. Shouldn't we try a different approach?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Lang looked up and asked, "What's your plan?"

"It's borderline." As she spoke, Su Yue walked over, her face beaming with barely suppressed excitement. "And we're filming a borderline scene with a storyline. For example, you play a villain, and I play a runaway girl who's homeless. You trick me into coming to this abandoned factory and try to rape me. I struggle desperately and scream for help, but in the end, I can't escape your clutches and you violate me."

As she said these words, Xu Han looked up at her. Although he didn't say anything, his eyes were a few degrees colder than before.

Ruan Zhihuan smiled, then her eyes lit up and she chimed in, "Also, I happened to be passing by and heard cries for help inside. I wanted to go in and rescue them, but Qin Lang, you went berserk and raped me too."

"Great!" Su Yue agreed with Ruan Zhihuan's words. "With this plot and these visuals, how can we not get viewers? Brother Lang, let's film it like this! It would be best if we could make it real... uh... I mean, we should make the acting more realistic."

Huang Ziqiang looked up from behind the camera at the two people, his lips twitched as if he wanted to say something but then swallowed it back.

"Screw you filming!" Qin Lang's lips twitched a few times, a helpless expression on his face. "Do you really think this kind of video can be released?"

Su Yue: "Where's the censoring?"

Qin Lang: "..."

Su Yue was still unwilling to give up and suggested to Qin Lang, "Brother Lang, I have another idea. We can make some safety education videos."

Qin Lang: "For example?"

Su Yue's eyes darted around. "For example, I'll ask you out, then flirt with you in all sorts of ways, and you'll finally lose control and do *that* to me."

After a pause, Su Yue continued with a serious expression, "Then at this moment, my brother... Huang Ziqiang, came along with my two sisters and said, 'You raped me, you have to pay compensation, or we'll send you to jail.' How's that plot? Exciting, isn't it?"

Upon hearing Su Yue's story, while others remained relatively calm, Huang Ziqiang's expression suddenly changed. He stared wide-eyed at Qin Lang, as if to say: "Brother Lang, you betrayed me?"

Qin Lang ignored him and looked at Su Yue with a helpless expression, "This side... you really insist on wiping it, right?"

Su Yue raised her chin slightly. "Look at those popular ones on the platform, a lot of them just wiggle and flirt, and the comments section is full of 'I want to marry her,' and their fans are skyrocketing. During their live streams, generous big spenders are showering them with donations. What about ours? It's all twists and turns and subtle hints, but all that effort is less effective than someone bending down to pick something up in fifteen seconds."

"Let me ask you," Qin Lang said slowly, looking at Su Yue, "how long can you keep skirting the line? Today you're wearing a tight-fitting outfit and dancing, tomorrow the woman next door will be wearing one, and the day after that, the woman two years after that won't be wearing anything at all. What are you going to use to compete? There's no limit to how much you can push the boundaries. Today you're showing your waist, tomorrow someone's showing their breasts, and the day after that, someone's wearing a bikini. In the end? All women are doing it, so aren't they all the same?"

Before Su Yue could retort, Qin Lang continued, "Those borderline videos can indeed go viral, but what goes viral is your waist, your legs, your... What does that have to do with you, Su Yue? Anyone would be the same if they showed those things. But if you played a role, a story with a beginning, an end, and a twist, people will remember you as a person."

"Furthermore," Qin Lang straightened up, his gaze sweeping over the four people in front of him, a slight smile playing on his lips, "have you ever thought about this? Who is the audience for borderline videos? Mostly male users. These users see them, watch them, and swipe away. They won't follow you, they won't watch your next video, because the next video they see will show even more skin. But story-driven videos are different; they can plant hooks. If the audience wants to know the answer, they have to follow the creator and wait for the next update."

After Qin Lang finished speaking, the people around him fell silent for a moment.

Su Yue blinked, tilted her head and thought for a moment, then suddenly clapped her hands: "Damn, what you said actually makes a lot of sense, Brother Lang."

Ruan Zhihuan nodded and said, "That means we need to make the audience remember me as a person, not me as this... what?" She looked down at her neckline.

Xu Han: "Career line".

"Yes, yes, yes, cleavage." Ruan Zhihuan looked up at Qin Lang, her face showing approval. "Brother Lang, you're really cultured."

Qin Lang's lips twitched, wondering what this had to do with culture.

The group continued filming according to Qin Lang's script...

Over the next few days, Qin Lang spent his days filming videos with a few people, and his nights making silly animations and writing novels, keeping himself very busy. Was he tired? Yes. But looking at his daily earnings, GG (game currency), and tips, was he still tired? No.

Friday evening arrived in the blink of an eye. Today was the day for Class 3 of the first year to have a class dinner at Liu's Restaurant, which was located across from the school.

The twilight in Liaobei today is exceptionally gentle, with a layer of orange-red sunset hues tinged on the horizon.

"Brother Lang, come out quickly!" Su Yue shouted anxiously from the living room toward Qin Lang's bedroom, "Give us your feedback quickly!"

Qin Lang walked out of the bedroom and his eyes lit up. The three girls were all dressed up incredibly well today.

Xu Han stood on the far left, her long, dark blue hair cascading over her shoulders, the ends slightly curled, making her delicate face appear even more fair and radiant. Today, she wore a smoky gray knit dress; the fitted waist accentuated her slender figure, and the hemline fell just three fingers above her knees, revealing a glimpse of her shapely, straight calves. She wore nude-colored chunky-heeled ankle boots. Standing there, she exuded a cool, aloof elegance, like a model stepping off a magazine cover.

Ruan Zhihuan stood in the middle, wearing a cream-colored square-neck puff-sleeved blouse that subtly revealed her delicate collarbones and graceful shoulder and neck lines. She paired it with high-waisted dark blue wide-leg jeans. With light makeup, her already exquisite features became even more defined and captivating. Her almond-shaped eyes were watery and sparkling, and when she smiled, the corners of her eyes slightly upturned, making her alluring.

As for Su Yue, she was much more restrained today, wearing a black velvet slip dress with a short denim jacket over it, looking both sweet and cool. However, the length of the dress was really not flattering, barely covering the top of her thighs, making her long, straight legs appear almost glowing white.

"You're using this to test your cadres?" Qin Lang paused for two seconds, then laboriously looked away. "They're all good. Let's go."

He hurried down the stairs, muttering to himself, "I'm afraid this meal won't be peaceful at all."

Su Yue laughed and caught up with Qin Lang, taking his arm. She teased, "Brother Lang, what do you think their reaction would be if they knew the three of us were sleeping at your... house every day?"

"They could torture me to death with just their eyes," Qin Lang said, shaking his head helplessly.

Xu Han didn't speak, but the corners of his mouth lifted slightly, and a barely perceptible tenderness flashed in his eyes.

The four of them left the school gate and walked along the road for less than ten minutes before arriving at Liu's Restaurant.
