Cheng Yu helped me into the car and fastened my seat - belt. He was so intimate that we seemed like a real couple. Not only Li Haiwang but even I was almost deceived.
I've never felt as exhilarated as I did just now, even after reading countless cool - plot novels and watching numerous cool - plot dramas!
I laughed heartily and said to Cheng Yu, "You're really something, Cheng Yu. As expected, smart people think quickly. How did you come up with the idea of pretending to be my boyfriend? It's amazing! Really! Thank you so much. You helped me vent my anger in front of my ex - boyfriend. No, it's more like I've finally got a chance to hold my head high!"
However, Cheng Yu didn't smile. His jawline tightened for a moment. "You're welcome."
-
I guessed he was still angry about the matter of Tangqiu.
But as a good friend, he helped me out of loyalty.
So I didn't mention the fact that we ignored each other for the past three days.
Although Cheng Yu had left me in the lurch three days ago, after what just happened, our grudges were wiped out.
I declare that Cheng Yu is my lifelong good friend! I won't leave even if he tries to get rid of me!
"Are you stupid from the fall? You don't even care about your wounds but only your shoes." Cheng Yu asked me, "New shoes?"
Wow.
He has really sharp eyes.
I was so worried about whether my shoes were damaged that I didn't even bother to clean the wounds on my knees and hands as soon as I got in the car. Skin wounds would heal on their own, but if the shoes were broken, it would cost a fortune. Fortunately, they were of good quality. Apart from a little dust, there was nothing wrong with them.
I said, "I have great news, and I'll only tell you. The film and television copyright of *Falling into Demonic Possession* has been finalized. It can fetch as much money as a house! I'll be a little rich woman from now on! I don't have to scrimp and save anymore!"
Cheng Yu said indifferently, "Congratulations."
He didn't seem surprised at all.
To share my happiness with him, I said boldly, "When I get the copyright fee, I'll give you a big gift!"
Only then did he show a bit of interest. "What is it?"
Me: "Just look forward to it! You'll definitely like it."
He seemed to be really looking forward to it and hooked his lips. "Really?"
-
Cheng Yu is such a nice guy.
Knowing that there was nothing in my dorm, he pulled the car over to the side, went to the pharmacy to buy alcohol swabs and anti - inflammatory ointment, and helped me treat my wounds.
After he finished all this, he seemed to be on his way to an appointment as the person on the phone kept urging him. But he wasn't in a hurry at all. He said to the other person arrogantly, "If you can't wait, eat first."
I thought I must have delayed his date with his boyfriend again. "It's okay. I'll take a taxi back myself. You go ahead if you're in a hurry."
Cheng Yu didn't give me any room to argue. "I'll take you back."
The road was a bit congested, but he didn't complain at all and insisted on taking me to the company building.
I was afraid that he would be seen by my colleagues if he accompanied me upstairs, so I said first, "I can go up by myself. You go quickly."
He seemed unhappy. "What, are you afraid of others seeing?"
I felt a bit guilty because he had guessed my thoughts correctly. I was indeed afraid that my colleagues would know I was friends with a gigolo. So I stammered, "I just... worried that you're in a hurry..."
Cheng Yu didn't have the patience to listen to my explanation. With a gloomy face, he stepped on the accelerator, and the sports car shot out like an arrow from a bow.

A few days later, the website editor came to me and said that a game development company wanted to buy out the game copyright of *Falling into Demonic Possession* and asked me what my expected price was.
After some inquiries, I found out that it was a game design company with a bad reputation. Thinking that I'd rather keep the profit within the family, I took the initiative to find Qi Jiayuan and asked him, "Are you interested in the game design copyright of *Falling into Demonic Possession*?"
Qi Jiayuan: "Yes, I am."
Me: "Great."
Qi Jiayuan: "But I don't have the money."
For the sake of the excellent team of "Shijia Culture", I endured it and said, "We can discuss the cost."
Qi Jiayuan raised his eyelids. "What can you offer to discuss with me?"
Me: "I'm the author of *Falling into Demonic Possession*."
Bang!
Qi Jiayuan knelt down. "Forgive my ignorance. I failed to recognize a great master!"
Finally, we talked all night, from the game plan, adaptation, and design to the copyright fee. Qi Jiayuan asked me if I could accept the game's profit - sharing instead of the copyright fee.
I thought for a while. "I have to ask someone."
Among the people I could trust, Cheng Yu was the most capable one.
-
I called him late at night to ask if Qi Jiayuan's suggestion was feasible.
Cheng Yu said, "If his game development fails, you may not get a single cent."
Me: "But what if it's a great success?"
Cheng Yu: "You already have the answer in your heart."
I scratched my head. "As expected of you, Cheng Yu. I'll participate in the whole process of the game development and design of *Falling into Demonic Possession*. After all, it's my hard - won work. Even if it fails, I'll accept it!"
Maybe it was too late at night, or maybe Cheng Yu was half - asleep and half - awake. He gave a soft laugh, and his voice had a lazy magnetism. "I just like your kind of foolishness."
Damn it.
Is he a deep - voiced person?
My ears went numb.

After the *Falling into Demonic Possession* team was finalized, everyone had a new goal to strive for.
Regarding the character design, basically, everyone has their own opinion. Just like the saying "There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people's eyes", there were different views on the appearance of the witch in the book.
Some said the prototype of the witch should be like this actress, while others said her figure should be like that AV actress. They were chattering non - stop, and it gave me a headache.
I slapped the table. "Actually, the prototype of the witch is myself."
As the author, no one has more say than me.
All the otaku showed expressions of disillusionment.
What does that mean?
It's time to show my real strength!
It took the makeup team in the company a whole day to cosplay me as the witch in the book according to my description.
I wore a deep - purple wig and a black - and - gold battle robe. The oil - painted totems described in the book covered my thighs and arms. After the makeup was done, everyone was stunned and exclaimed that I was "the witch herself"!
To prove my "strength", the battle robe was designed with an extremely low - cut neckline. My well - endowed chest made the makeup artist blush.
Qi Jiayuan immediately cleared the venue. Zhang Yuan was taking pictures, composing, and modeling while using tissues... to wipe his saliva.
After a busy day, the design of the most important character was finally finalized.
I was suffocating under all this heavy makeup. As soon as the work was over, I rushed back to the dormitory to take a shower.
But I was told that the natural gas pipeline in our community had been damaged and it would take until midnight to repair it!
The oil - paint on my body was very harmful to the skin. If I left it on until midnight, I would probably be allergic!
I originally wanted to take a taxi to my elder brother's place to take a shower, but his place was too far away. It would be closer to go to Cheng Yu's.
I wonder if he's going out on a date tonight?
Isn't Cheng Yu a fan of *Falling into Demonic Possession*? If he saw this look of mine, it would definitely be a big surprise!
I imagined the excited look on his face when he saw me and couldn't help but call him. "Cheng Yu, are you at home?"
Cheng Yu seemed to be hesitating and didn't answer immediately.
I quickly said, "If you're not, it's okay. I originally had something to do and wanted to go to your place."
He quickly replied, "Come on."
