Shock! I became the protagonist of a female-oriented novel.

"I know all this, I'm just asking if you want to go. We won't be apart for long, plane tickets aren't expensive, I'll come see you."

So the core question is, do you really want to go?

"I...don't want to go." Yu Ci inherited the original owner's memories and skills, but she was not the original owner. She could draw, but she didn't really like drawing.

Furthermore, for her, being with Gu Qiushui was much happier than going to study in an unfamiliar place alone.

"You really don't want to go?"

"Well, I don't want to go anymore." Yu Ci nodded. "I'd rather be with you than go to school."

That's the absolute truth.

Upon hearing this blunt truth, Gu Qiushui couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, then I won't go."

It's good to stay by her side.

-

At noon, Changtian Studio promptly posted a message welcoming @YuCi to join the company, which YuCi and Gu Qiushui also forwarded.

Yu Ci: #Heart# / Changtian Studio: Welcome @YuCi to join us!

Gu Qiushui: #Heart# / Yu Ci: ...

A group of onlookers, who had been following the drama for so long, were all blown away.

-That's all, that's all. What variety shows, what Akiji CP, it's all just a formula.

-emmm, is this what they call hype?

- I have to say, this hype was really successful...

Creating a BL (Boys' Love) pairing, especially when the two people have unequal relationships within the entertainment industry, can be very detrimental to the less famous person in the pairing.

The studio's publicity stunt actually led netizens to attribute the incident to hype.

Countless netizens who felt they had been scammed, in their grief, didn't consider—

What does "love" and "affection" mean?

Everyone assumed this was a welcome-to-join event and a highly successful celebration, but no one considered that it was a foolish move that the aloof big shot suddenly came up with while fiddling with his phone.

"Send a heart."

Yu Ci, who was logging into Weibo, paused for a moment, "Heart, what heart?"

"this."

"...Why post this?"

Gu Qiushui said, "I founded Changtian Studio myself, and it's like my home."

"From this day forward, Yu Ci, welcome to my world and my home."

A heart full of love will eventually find its home.

A couple who are mutually attracted to each other.

It's just a pity that no one understands.

But it's okay.

You know, I know, and it's the same for everyone.

Chapter 84 Divided into Two Places

After Yu Ci joined Changtian Studio, her interactions with Gu Qiushui on Weibo became more frequent.

Back and forth, tagging and liking each other, many netizens initially criticized the two for not giving up and continuing to hype things up, but with the powerful control of online trolls and the frequent resurfacing of Yu Ci's old Weibo posts, such voices gradually disappeared.

Moreover, "The Road to Success" has also started to be streamed online for free.

This wave of shows has attracted a new batch of casual viewers who are just standing around, saying things like, "It's hype, it's corruption, it's money-making, but they're talking like there's someone in the entertainment industry who's really clean!"

Everyone's following this thread, what's wrong with finding a couple that gets people excited just by looking at them?

However, such passersby are a minority.

After the show resumed broadcasting and fluctuated for a month, around mid-December, the online landscape had basically been set.

Gu Qiushui successfully gained national recognition through this variety show. Although she also gained a wave of haters, she also secured a good national endorsement.

After a wave of information overload online, I went to participate in the cooking test on Hunan TV and successfully became a regular guest on the dessert show "Food is Coming".

But not everything is geared towards perfection.

such as--

Because they were both too busy with work, the two had to separate.

Yu Ci works in the variety show industry, while Gu Qiushui is interested in the performing arts. Although they are both in the industry, they work thousands of miles apart.

The December wind was slightly chilly at night.

Yu Ci was video chatting with Gu Qiushui.

"Sister Qiushui..."

"Don't call me 'sister'." Gu Qiushui raised her hand. "Remove the 'sister' and just call me Qiushui."

"Alright, Qiu Shui." Yu Ci said somewhat helplessly, "Is there a difference between Qiu Shui and Sister Qiu Shui?"

"Yes." The person on the other end of the video nodded seriously. "The difference is huge."

Remainder: ...

After talking about many pointless topics, the night grew deeper, and Yu Ci, who was lying on the bed, and Gu Qiushui, who was standing against the wall, suddenly fell silent.

for a long time.

Yu Ci sighed softly, "Suddenly I realize, I miss you a little."

"Heh." Before she could finish speaking, the person on the other end of the phone laughed, "So it was sudden? I started missing you as soon as I got here."

"Oh—" Yu Ci hummed in agreement. "Okay then, it wasn't sudden, I've been missing you for a while now."

"By the way, Qiushui, how's the commercial music video you filmed in Beijing coming along?"

"It's almost over." Gu Qiushui raised her head, her slender neck looking even more beautiful under the light. "How about you? How's the variety show filming going?"

“Same as usual.” Yu Ci rested his chin on his hand. “Make desserts, make up stories about them, answer questions, and finally draw them.”

As she spoke, the person on the other end listened and nodded repeatedly.

After a long pause, Gu Qiushui finally asked, "Are you tired?"

"Not tired at all!" Yu Ci answered readily. "I'm good at making desserts, drawing, and storytelling." And if doing variety shows can attract fans, it feels really good.

"But you, Qiu Shui, are you tired from filming the commercial?" Yu Ci had done some research beforehand, and the national idol who was filming the MV with Gu Qiu Shui this time was known in the industry for his terrible acting skills, and the director of this MV was also considered quite strict in the industry...

The terrible actors and strict director are the reason why this promotional video, which should have been completed in a week, has been dragged on for more than ten days and is still ongoing.

"I'm tired." As she spoke, she lowered her eyes, revealing shadows beneath them, and looked exhausted. "We're just getting more and more tired from filming so much."

Remainder: ...

"Qiu Shui, what's wrong?" Saying she was sleepy didn't sound like the style of a battle-hardened woman, but rather a workaholic in the industry.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to tell you—I'm tired, and I need a kiss from you to cheer myself up."

Yu Ci, who had just thought Gu Qiushui was really having a meltdown because she was working with a terrible actor, almost rolled her eyes. "Qiushui, where did you find this joke from..."

The old man is almost toothless.

Lately, Gu Qiushui has been using very old jokes to flirt with Yu Ci. Although her entry points are always good and her flirting isn't awkward, these are cliché lines that were used eight hundred years ago, tsk tsk.

However, even though it was an old joke, even though it was just something he said, Yu Ci still picked up his phone after saying that, sat up, and slowly leaned closer to the phone in a very upright manner.

Then he kissed the camera very lightly.

There was no sound, but Gu Qiushui on the other side was indeed... fired up.

"Alright." Gu Qiushui felt satisfied as her emotions slowly opened up. "It's eleven o'clock. You have to film a show tomorrow, so go to sleep early."

"Are you going to sleep already?"

Gu Qiushui stared at Yu Ci for a long time.

"Don't you want to sleep yet?"

"No..." Yu Ci puffed out his cheeks. He definitely wanted to sleep, but—

"I just kissed you, and you haven't replied yet."

Gu Qiushui truly hadn't expected that the reason Yu Ci hadn't slept yet was this.

With a slight smile, she raised her phone and, mimicking Yu Ci's earlier action, kissed the camera.

"so?"

"Mmm." Suddenly feeling a void in her heart filled, Yu Ci rolled around on the bed, hugging her pillow. "Alright, Qiu Shui, you should go and rest too. You have work tomorrow morning..."

"I know."

"Go to sleep, everyone."

After saying goodnight to each other, Gu Qiushui ended the video call first.

Because she knew that if she didn't cut the video off, the conversation would probably start again, and once it started, it would probably go on for a long time.

Actually, we've only been apart for less than ten days.

It just feels like...

It's so hard to get through.

So this is what relationships are like?

Gu Qiushui lowered her head, frowned, took her phone, lay down on the bed, and then logged onto the relationship forum, Tianya.

After logging onto Tianya, she skillfully opened her post and went into editing mode.

Anonymous poster: I feel that the suggestions made by people in the previous thread were somewhat useful. I wonder if there are any other suggestions? What should couples who have just started dating do in a long-distance relationship?
