Therefore, Pei Yan in “Reborn” was the first flawed protagonist Yu Mian had written. But, he would also be one who actively pursued change.
[[Unbeknownst to anyone, Pei Shen had a little secret: the reason he worked so hard was that he wanted to skip grades as soon as possible and enroll in the same university as his brother, Pei Yan.
Become the person who will always stand by his brother’s side.
However, what Pei Shen did not know was that in this life, Pei Yan already had new plans.
“I’m not suited for the Department Of Business Management, and I’m not good at handling these complex company relationships…”
The lessons from his past life undoubtedly made Pei Yan start to calmly reassess himself.
Even though he was reborn, his natural abilities hadn’t changed. Competing with Pei Shen in the same field, no matter how hard he tried, he still wouldn’t be able to surpass Pei Shen.
In the bedroom, Pei Yan carefully analyzed all his conditions on paper.
“But, child, you have excellent expressiveness, a keen and sensitive mind, and you can empathize deeply with the roles in the script. Would you be interested in trying a script I have? I’ve been looking for someone to play this role for a long time.”
However, the words of the famous director Welch, who had discovered Pei Yan as a promising talent in a video from the school celebration performance in his past life, echoed once again in Pei Yan’s ears.
In his past life, he was arrogant and determined to inherit the company. He had immediately dismissed the olive branch offered by the famous director.
But this time, Pei Yan picked up the familiar script beside him and made a completely different and bold decision.
He would still participate in the school celebration performance and even do it better, and once again meet that famous director that had been invited to the event this time!
In his past life, he had rejected the opportunity to play the role of the teenage version of the male lead.
But due to his refusal, Director Welch, who was unable to find a suitable replacement, had no choice but to cut the part of the boyhood memories that was meant to be in the film.
And so, when the film was released and became a huge hit both at the box office and in the public eye, many film critics said that if there was a flaw in Director Welch’s work, the only flaw was the lack of the portrayal of the protagonist in his youth.
“But this time, I should seize this opportunity. Perhaps it’s also the best way to apologize to Director Welch…”
Pei Yan reflected on the opportunity he had missed due to his arrogance in his past life, and this time, he decided to seize it again.]]
[Ah, what! This time, Pei Yan actually chose a different path? Did he become an actor?!]
[Such a surprise, but somehow it feels strangely fitting. Since the director’s film will become a hit, will Pei Yan become an amazing star this time?!]
As for Pei Yan’s career choice in “Reborn”, countless interstellar readers were naturally surprised, but also felt that with this development, everything truly seemed to be starting over.
[It’s a pity that in the past life, such a great script was missed due to arrogance. It feels so good that he’s able to start over again this time. QAQ]
[But am I the only one worried about this decision…?]
[What are you worried about?]
[Pei Shen has been quietly accumulating strength up to skip grades and be in the same grade as his brother, won’t he explode when he finds out that his brother is going to be away filming for the next few years!]
[Damn it, I suddenly feel like Pei Shen will really chase his brother all the way to the outer star system and follow him on set…]
And soon, some readers realized that while Pei Yan’s career decision was perfect, for Pei Shen, it would be a huge shock!
[No, the current little puppy Pei Shen is fine. I just can’t imagine what means Pei Shen will use to chase his brother who is filming everywhere when he grows up…]
[Ahem, well, if I were Pei Shen when I grow up, I’d throw money at it. Whatever movie my brother is filming, I’d invest in it and become the largest investor so my brother can’t escape (covering the pot lid tightly, pervert.jpp)]
In the heated online discussion among readers on the star network, one bold comment immediately made the entire crowd gasp.
[Help, Mr. Pot Lid, you’re really perverted! But the more I think about it, the more I’m looking forward to the future plot!! [Screaming and holding my head]]
[Yeah, this is exactly the kind of plot adults should watch! When will the characters grow up already?!]
Even Kane couldn’t help but blush and silently touch his ears after reading the comment about “no escape”.
What was going on?
Why did it feel like the new book “Reborn” was progressing faster than “Eternal Night Rose” in the later stages?
This must be an illusion!
“Damn it, so why can’t there be double updates?! One chapter a day just isn’t enough! When will we finally get to the adult romance…”
For a moment, Kane felt as if he had fallen into a deep pit again.
After all, Huanyu didn’t allow underage relationships, so it was obvious that before Pei Shen became an adult, his feelings for his brother would not change.
Though this little puppy plot was also very exciting and interesting…
“But the adult plot is exactly what we adults should watch!”
Kane viciously gave “Reborn” the highest level of special attention.
Since reading the side stories of “Eternal Night Rose”, he was no longer the same Kane as before!
[Reward Starship X10] EN: Double updates! We demand double updates until they are adults and in love!!”
And in the frenzy of comments demanding double updates, Kane’s generous reward caused “Reborn” to skyrocket in popularity.
[Exactly! We demand double updates!!]
[We want to see stories for adults!! [Stands with hands on hips]]
[When will the romance start, Teacher Fish Soup Noodles~]
To this, Yu Mian could only cover his face. He felt like the once pure and lovely interstellar readers had suddenly changed.
They clearly didn’t even know what the word “drive” meant back then, but after the display of driving skills in the side-story of “Eternal Night Rose”, it seemed like some strange switch was turned on for them.
The comments in the comment section were becoming increasingly strange and daring.
[Crispy Shark: Teacher Fish Soup Noodles, do you have time to be a judge recently?]
Just as Yu Mian was feeling a little embarrassed, Editor Shaxs unexpectedly appeared.
[Fish: Judge?]
[Crispy Shark: Well, during the recent serialization of “Reborn”, the editorial department has noticed that readers have developed many new understandings and ideas about the theme of rebirth. So, we’re planning to strike while the iron is hot and hold a rebirth-themed essay competition! We were thinking of inviting you to be a judge!]
Yu Mian had heard a bit about Shaxs’ earlier complaints that everyone’s rebirth novels were too similar.
Holding such an essay competition seemed really interesting.
[Fish: I could do that, but I don’t need to show my face, right?]
Regarding Yu Mian’s repeated request on the matter, Shaxs sighed: [Of course, if you don’t want to show your face, then you absolutely don’t have to.]
Although now there were all kinds of speculations about Teacher Fish Soup Noodles’ identity, especially since Yu Mian had also not attended the carnival. This made countless readers curious and disappointed, wondering why Teacher Fish Soup Noodles was so unwilling to show up.
After finishing his conversation with Shaxs, Yu Mian looked at the new package from Huo Ting on the side. Inside, there was a special medicine for swelling and pain relief.
It looked far more advanced than what he had bought.
“I see, did he receive my purchase records on his light brain?”
[It seems so, but this medicine does seem more effective. If you apply it to your head, you should feel a lot better.[
“Then does that mean he’s no longer angry…?”
As Yu Mian was pondering, he found a note underneath.
“Someone wants to buy the recipe at a high price?”
The note clearly mentioned the previous incident where the old scientist Harrison had inquired about cooking methods for ingredients like broccoli.
—The reward is high, you should consider it. – Huo
Yu Mian couldn’t help but laugh a little.
It seemed that, in Huo Ting’s eyes, he was quite a troublesome temporary guest.
Was he introducing him to a job?
“But if I were to write a gourmet food business novel, wouldn’t that be even more perfect?”
Upon seeing that in the interstellar era, there were indeed specialized research institutes dealing with food radiation, Yu Mian was suddenly touched to the point of tears.
Besides, how could there be people who would rather drink nutrient solution than eat delicious food just because they think the food tastes bad?
Yu Mian wished everyone would quickly learn how to cook, so he could buy delicious food anywhere in the interstellar world, rather than always seeing various flavored instant nutrition solutions while shopping.
Even the food in high-end restaurants was both expensive and tasted average.
[Gourmet food business novel? That sounds interesting.]
“Of course, food-themed novels were once very popular. And then I can insert useful recipes into the plot, maybe after everyone reads it, they’ll be tempted to try it out themselves?!”
Yu Mian explained seriously to the little system, and the more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
[But the only problem is, once you start writing, wouldn’t it be easy for Huo Ting to discover your identity?]
“Hmm, that’s true.”
Thinking of this, Yu Mian suddenly looked at the light brain in front of him with his chin in his hand and a subtle look of depression.
Huo Ting knew that he, who lived in the study, knew a lot of recipes and could cook delicious food.
And now, if Fish Soup Noodles were to suddenly write a food themed novel, it did seem a bit too coincidental…
But Yu Mian felt it wasn’t something he couldn’t endure.
He just wasn’t sure if that guy had tried the pearl.
Would it really help sooth his mental power to the point of having sweet dreams?
Tomorrow, he’d write a little note to ask him.
After all, it was his first pearl, and he gave it to him as an apology.
In fact, after receiving the pearl from the resident in the study, Huo Ting did stop for a moment before turning off the light at the end of the day.
If he placed it under his pillow, he would have sweet dreams.
No matter how it sounded, it still seemed like something only a child would believe.
However, in the end, Huo Ting placed the pouch beside his pillow and closed his eyes.
That night, he really dreamed of something incredibly strange.
In the dream, the night sky slowly descended, the lake rippled, and dreamy starlight surrounded him.
This was the Starry Sky Lake.
Huo Ting wasn’t unfamiliar with this scene; he recognized it immediately.
When he was young, his grandfather used to take him fishing at Starry Sky Lake, and he often saw such scenes.
It was indeed quite dreamy.
But being alone, it always felt a bit too cold and quiet.
As Huo Ting calmly observed the moving images in his dream, he suddenly heard the sound of water waves crashing, and the image wavered.
“Ah! What was that?!”
“Ouch…”
Two distinctly different voices of pain rang out, the first one sounding full of energy, while the second sounded as if it were in discomfort.
Moreover, the second voice gave Huo Ting a strangely familiar feeling, as if he had heard it before.
Just as Huo Ting subconsciously tried to hold onto the light golden shadow in the water, his hand pierced through all the illusory shadows in the next moment.
The image stopped abruptly, as if everything had ended at that very moment.
The rest of the night passed without any more dreams.
When Huo Ting woke up the next day and opened his eyes, he indeed realized that his mental power had been soothed to a level he had never experienced before.
But compared to this, what Huo Ting was more concerned about was something else.
He fumbled around for the pouch by his pillow, reopened it, and looked inside at the pearl.
Starry Sky Lake…
The collision and injury.
The ordered ointment.
And this pearl.
“…”
Huo Ting recalled all the elements in his mind and felt as if he had vaguely touched upon some sort of truth.
So, yesterday he went to Starry Sky Lake to play?
And then bumped into someone.
Then what about this pearl?
It seemed to have captured the scene, like a camera.
However, just as Huo Ting was pondering, he suddenly noticed that the small pearl inside had changed color.
It had lost its light golden glow and turned into an ordinary pearl.
It was as if the magic inside had been used up.
Huo Ting: …?
—Very useful, do you have any more? I can buy them. – Huo
“Eh!?”
So, when Yu Mian saw Huo Ting’s reply on the note the next day, he was a little surprised.
This was the first time Huo Ting had told him so seriously that it was useful, and even said he could buy a second one.
—But I don’t have any more for now… I only had this one, and I’ve already given it to you.
But what Huo Ting received in return was a note with a somewhat frustrated tone.
Yu Mian had tried several times and found that it was very difficult to force tear pearls to fall, they simply didn’t come out.
And the tears that came from yawning and the like seemed invalid, and no pearls came out at all.
—Is it very precious? – Huo
Upon receiving Huo Ting’s question, Yu Mian didn’t know how to reply at first.
It was precious, but it was really just his tears.
Though, it did seem quite rare.
Why was this guy suddenly talking so much?
—What about my pearl? You didn’t lose it, did you?
