Catch That Bowl Of Fish Soup Noodles! 2

That figure—was it the author Fish Soup Noodles?!

This became the question that all the interstellar netizens, who had watched the live broadcast, were discussing in unison.

However, at this moment, Kane had absolutely no mood to pay attention to the comments circulating online.

Because when Kane, who was always obsessed with looks, first saw Yu Mian, who took off his mask and drank water to calm down, his first reaction was just…

‘Pleasing to the eye, so pleasing to the eye!’

‘Even the act of drinking water was a delight!’

His second reaction was…

‘Why did this person seem so familiar?’

Could it be that he had become so obsessed with good looks that now anyone who looked good seemed familiar?

But before Kane could fully come back to his senses, after a simple greeting that was purely instinctual, Yu Mian, who had finished drinking, directly slid a star card over to him.

“Well, this card currently contains one million star coins…”

Kane: ?

“C-contract… Contract Marriage…?!”

Wasn’t this the plot from before Gu Bai and Caesar’s marriage contract?!

What on earth was going on here?! [Panicked, holding head]

Kane could only widen his eyes as he stared at the star card in front of him, then looked up at Yu Mian. As a seasoned reader, his mind subconsciously thought of Contract Marriage.

“Ah?”

Now it was Yu Mian’s turn to be confused. Before Kane could send back the star card that seemed to burn his hand, he quickly continued explaining.

“Actually, this card includes part of the advance payment for the copyright of “Contract Marriage”, and the remaining amount will be paid to you later.”

“Uh, didn’t you recognize me?”

After speaking, Yu Mian realized that Kane wasn’t reacting, and he quickly realized something—Kane didn’t recognize him!

“…So this is the penalty fee that I owe you. I’m really sorry it’s taken this long to return it to you.”

After Yu Mian awkwardly finished explaining everything, Kane felt like his brain just couldn’t keep up.

He sat there on the couch, stunned.

‘Fish Soup Noodles… Fish Soup Noodles?!’

‘Yu Mian…Fish Soup Noodles!?’

The person he had been searching for all this time… was the author of “Contract Marriage”?!

Kane’s mind was completely fried.

So much so that when Yu Mian asked about the supposed “internally decided” role issue, Kane’s brain was still frozen, though he promised that he would investigate and resolve it.

After all, this had never been mentioned before.

Satisfied with the response, Yu Mian gave Kane his feedback on the audition candidates he liked.

Of course, Liao was on that list.

As for the main cast for “Contract Marriage”, the final selections would be announced after a few months.

After settling the original owner’s debts, Yu Mian finally understood what it meant to be debt-free. He waved goodbye to Kane, who was still in a daze, and left.

It was just right to go to Huanyu and pick up the letters from the Bart Clan that had been sent to him!

“How are you planning to carry this back? This box is pretty big.”

When Shaxs moved the box to the café where they met, he looked at his author’s not-so-massive frame and couldn’t help but worry.

“I’ll carry it back myself. It’s fine.”

Yu Mian wasn’t bothered at all.

Please, these were letters from his readers!

He’d carry it back himself, no matter how tired his arms got.

During this time, Huo Ting hadn’t returned often, and the old mansion’s study was so large, so Yu Mian simply used some dusty drawers in a remote corner as his storage boxes.

Of course, the ones that stood out too much were hidden in Huo Yan’s room.

So, when Yu Mian handed the box to Huo Yan, he took the letters inside to the study.

When he opened them, he realized that all these letters from various Bart readers were handwritten, and all had elegant handwriting.

Just reading the first letter left a deep impression on Yu Mian.

“Dear Author (is it okay to address you like this? I’ve seen it used by the Federation people online), to be honest, before I encountered your work, I had been suffering from insomnia for several hundred years. Whenever I stared at the moon, I’d feel sad. But now, with Gu Bai and Caesar by my side, the long nights that once felt lonely are now warm and full of joy. I sincerely hope you can create more wonderful stories!”

‘Hmm, a reader suffering from insomnia.’

‘And not just any reader, but an insomniac Bart reader!’

It seemed they really needed a novel to keep them company through the long nights. Otherwise, if the other Bart people were sleeping for centuries, this one would truly be quite lonely.

Just reading this cute message, Yu Mian couldn’t help but smile.

The second letter even mentioned Lilith—it seemed like a friend of hers.

“During the days I’ve been reading your book, I’ve always wondered what kind of person you must be to write such amazing words. So, with Lilith’s encouragement, I decided to write you this letter. Each time the moon rises, as I wait for your updates, I feel a true sense of happiness. Perhaps it is the magical power of your writing that makes the long wait so beautiful.”

Lilith’s friend sure had a way with words.

The way they expressed the joy of waiting for updates turned the passage of time into something beautiful.

For the Bart people, life was long, and reading seemed to be a pastime that added color to their days.

“Dear Author, maybe you don’t know how much your book has captivated me. It even taught me how to use the Federation’s star network to follow updates. But still, writing letters like this feels more formal to me. Now, at our moonlit tea gatherings, we can’t help but discuss the latest plot developments. I sincerely hope Caesar and Gu Bai will always be happy in their world!”

When Yu Mian reached the third letter, he seemed to envision the Bart reader’s excitement while writing it.

Did they also have such interesting activities as moonlit tea gatherings? It sounded quite elegant.

However, when he thought about this group of unique readers gathering under the moon to discuss the latest plot developments of “Contract Marriage”, Yu Mian couldn’t help but feel his mood soften.

Yu Mian flipped through more than ten letters in a row, each one filled with charm and individuality, until the very last one was from Lilith.

This letter was even tied with a blue silk ribbon, with a rose tucked in.

As expected, this young lady remained as elegant as always.

Her writing was just as succinct as ever.

“Write more, love to read, really like it. I especially like Eternal Night Rose. This one will never wither, sending it to you.”

It seemed that this letter from Lilith was the most recent one because it mentioned “Eternal Night Rose”.

So Lilith must have been the first Bart reader to have read “Eternal Night Rose”, right?

When Yu Mian read the third sentence, he curiously picked up the white rose beside him.

A rose that would never wither?

The Bart people were indeed a very romantic race.

But when Yu Mian flipped it over, he found there was even a second page. But the second page seemed to change the topic.

“Human blood, don’t drink it anymore, Federation people, don’t know. [Angry simple drawing]”

When Yu Mian saw this, he couldn’t help but laugh.

Had Lilith not only learned to follow updates on the star network but also learned to follow the Federation netizens’ comment sections?

She must have seen the recent discussions and controversies from the Federation readers about whether Dreven drank human blood.

In fact, the latest update of “Eternal Night Rose” was about to formally address this very issue.

Of course, this also involved another part of Dreven’s mysterious past.

Because the tyrant Dreven, who was accused of cruelty and terror in history records, was actually a “vegetarian” vampire.

He was naturally averse to drinking human blood.

The only exception was Su Yan’s blood.

So, amidst the heated discussion about the identity of the author Fish Soup Noodles on the star network, the update of “Eternal Night Rose” arrived right on time without fail!
