Huayu: We're asking you to act, and you're playing a superhuman?

Following the address, Liu Shishi found Wang Weili's new home in Xuhui District.

Looking at the small villa in front of her, with a courtyard and a sycamore tree in the yard, which looked like an oil painting under the sunlight, she carefully went to the iron gate and entered the password.

With a creak, the dark iron bars slowly receded, and Liu Shishi mustered her courage and went inside.

She walked along a winding path paved with cobblestones, climbed the steps, and came to a black solid wood door. She gently turned the brass doorknob and peeked inside.

Light streamed in through the open door, casting a slanted glow on a corner of the long black sofa.

Wang Weili, dressed neatly, lay on the sofa, tilting his head to look towards the door.

Liu Shishi was taken aback: "You're home alone?"

"Yeah, I went out to take care of some work and just got back."

Wang Weili leaned back on the sofa, lazily turning his neck to look at the ceiling.

Liu Shishi walked in, looking slightly nervous. She closed the door behind her back and slowly walked to the corner of the sofa.

"What kind of work do you do?"

"Um?"

Wang Weili glanced at her, then slowly sat up on the sofa, looking somewhat dejected.

"I invested in 'Gu Jian Qi Tan' and just went to discuss the sale of the first broadcast rights. The price offered by the TV station, plus the revenue from GG (Google Play), will barely cover the costs. Profits will depend on the second and third rounds of broadcast rights, as well as the broadcast rights on long-form video platforms. Overall, the profit margin is only 20% to 30%, which is really pitiful." (I checked with AI, and that's the figure.)

"Is that little?"

Liu Shishi frowned, feeling that a profit margin of 20% to 30% was really meager.

Wang Weili nodded: "That's all!"

"Wouldn't that have been a waste of time?"

"That's not necessarily true. If the TV series is very popular, the increase in popularity and commercial value of the male and female leads can also be considered a hidden profit."

"So you're saying that as long as 'Gu Jian Qi Tan' becomes popular, you'll become famous?"

Liu Shishi looked around with keen eyes and grasped the key point of the topic.

Wang Weili frankly stated, "I invested in this TV series because I wanted to become famous."

The system's requirements for role-playing include not only completing the current role's progress but also achieving a higher popularity standard in order to unlock the next stage of role-playing.

Wang Weili's current popularity level is at the second stage of the beginner village.

This is what he achieved with "Xuan-Yuan Sword". If he wants to increase his popularity, he has to continue to star in the TV series that was a huge hit in his previous life.

Otherwise, Wang Weili wouldn't have invested his funds in such a low-return project...

Money is just a means to an end; the goal is to increase popularity.

Upon hearing that he had become famous for doing this, Liu Shishi's eyes softened instantly.

"Take your time! It took me almost ten years to become famous this time. You've already acted in two TV series in just one year since your debut, and both times you were the male lead. That's already very good."

"That's pretty fast."

Wang Weili nodded slightly, feeling that after the broadcast of "Swords of Legends", he should be able to meet the popularity requirements for the next stage.

Liu Shishi glanced at him, then boldly touched Wang Weili's forehead: "At worst, I'll let you play the male lead in my next drama, and I'll take you to new heights!"

"Forehead……"

Wang Weili hesitated for a moment, thinking to himself: Sister Xia, it seems that you only became popular with one drama, "Scarlet Heart", and then you started an endless series of failures, right?

This is true, but it's not something I can say to someone's face.

Wang Weili coughed twice, changing the subject, "Why did you suddenly come to see me today? Did Cai Yinong drag you out to drink with her again?"

"Pah! You're the one who's the one drinking with people!"

Liu Shishi glared angrily, but when she remembered the purpose of her visit, she immediately pursed her lips in a resentful manner.

She pursed her lips, shifted her hips toward Wang Weili, and tentatively placed one leg on his thigh.

Looking at his long, straight legs, Wang Weili turned to look at Liu Shishi, trying to understand her intentions.

What are you doing?

"What's wrong with Fangfang?"

Liu Shishi rolled her eyes, leaned against Wang Weili on the sofa, and rested her head on his shoulder.

At this moment, the two of them were already sitting side by side on the sofa with their legs intertwined, and Liu Shishi was even trying to put her hand on Wang Weili's other shoulder.

Wang Weili: "..."

He wondered if Liu Shishi had a relapse, otherwise why would she suddenly rush into his house and start touching him inappropriately?

Looking at Wang Weili, who was giving her a strange sidelong glance, Liu Shishi, who thought she had been very proactive, spat out, "Haven't you ever had a girl press your leg down on you before?"

"That's not it... it's just that your movements are too stiff, like a puppet."

Wang Weili's rant shattered Liu Shishi's feigned composure.

She felt her cheeks suddenly burn, and a strong feeling of retreat welled up inside her.

But when she thought about the purpose of her visit today, Liu Shishi suddenly found the courage to suppress her hesitation, turned around, stepped forward and sat down in front of Wang Weili, staring straight at him.

Wang Weili looked up at Liu Shishi and asked, "Hmm?"

"I want to stay here tonight."

Feeling that she had been putting things off for too long, Liu Shishi finally made up her mind to catch up.

Wang Weili frowned slightly: "I'll arrange a guest room for you..."

"I want to sleep with you!"

"Now?"

"Do you need to think about it a bit more?"

Liu Shishi lowered her eyes suspiciously and looked at Wang Weili's stomach.

Wang Weili pursed his lips and explained, "Before we begin, I need to tell you something related to Naza..."

"We'll talk about this later!"

Liu Shi interrupted the spellcasting verbally and directly got to the point manually.

In her opinion, no matter how ambiguous Wang Weili and Naza's relationship was before, as long as she confirmed her relationship with him, Naza, who was a step too late, would have to give up!

Liu Shishi felt she was making her final sprint, unaware that Nazha had already reached the finish line.

The sunlight streaming in through the window shifted from the brightness of the afternoon to the hazy orange hue of the evening.

Looking at herself covered in sweat, her temples plastered to her cheeks, and how she had worked so hard for so long while Wang Weili had only just finished the warm-up phase, Liu Shishi felt for the first time the huge gap in physical fitness.

While drinking water, Liu Shishi looked down at Wang Weili below his collarbone and felt that his lean muscles contained a violent power.

Her afternoon of effort was like ivy climbing a red brick wall; no matter how she tried to entwine it, the solid and thick wall remained unmoved!

Liu Shishi swallowed the water, her fingers slowly gliding over Wang Weili's collarbone, a mixture of fear and secret delight in her voice:

"What were you trying to say to me just now?"

"That row of platters is ahead of you..."

Although his helplessness seemed like he was being hypocritical, Wang Weili was genuinely quite helpless at this moment.

He was capable of pushing Liu Shishi away and informing her of the situation beforehand, but he couldn't stop someone from deliberately pretending to be confused and refusing to listen!

Liu Shishi's expression froze, her eyes revealing grievance and indignation, but she was not surprised or taken aback.

She's not blind. The charm that Nazha unintentionally displayed during the meeting at Sugar Man this morning clearly showed that she had been pampered by someone.

"You don't need to tell me about this; just handle it yourself!"

Liu Shishi leaned weakly against the sofa, unwilling to admit that she was the one who poached her boyfriend, and just wanted to play dumb and get away with it.

Wang Weili, who received the difficult question from her, also seemed very casual.

"That's fine then, just continue to pretend you don't know anything."

"Holy shit..."
