Just after Cheng Xia finished sending WeChat, a familiar reminder flashed in Pei Shaoze's mind—
[Cheng Xia's favorability to you +5]
[Since the protagonist's favorability rating for you reaches 95, you can choose the reward: A: Increase the task time by ten years; B. Obtain an investment amount of 500 million; C. The system will help you screen out a script that can win the Best Movie Award . 】
Pei Shaoze frowned and asked, "Similar to the original 80 favorability reward option?"
The system said: "The value has increased! When the favorability level is 80, the mission is extended for five years, and the investment amount is only 100 million."
Of course, Pei Shaoze remembered the reward at the time. He was not short of money and didn't want the system to help him choose the script, so he chose option A. Today, the value has increased several times, 500 million funds or a script that can win awards? He thought for a moment and decided to choose A.
- Money can be earned slowly, and the script can be carefully selected, only time can't be bought by any amount of money.
He found that his thinking was gradually changing.
If he had just come to this world, he would definitely choose B or C, because his goal is to brush Cheng Xia's favorability to 100 points as soon as possible, and to return to the original world, he doesn't want to stay here for too long and directly get Funding and scripts are certainly quicker.
But for some reason, after getting along with Cheng Xia for a long time, he couldn't let it go, let alone Cheng Xia. When he thought that Cheng Xia had no one to protect and take care of after he left, his heart was as restless as being eaten by insects and ants.
Pei Shaoze asked: "I have chosen the reward A, plus the previous mission time, I can stay in this world for 20 years, right?"
System: "Yes!"
Pei Shaoze: "What if Cheng Xia's favorability rating for me reaches 100? Do I have to go back?"
System: "The mission requirement is that Cheng Xia's favorability for you reaches 100 before you can go back. Please read and understand carefully!"
Pei Shaoze pondered this sentence carefully—within the specified task time, Cheng Xia's favorability score reached 100, which was a prerequisite for him to return to the original world. There are only two situations in which he is obliterated. One is that the player points are deducted to 0, and the other is that the favorability level cannot reach 100 when the time is up.
As long as the mission time is still there, even if his favorability reaches 100, he doesn't have to go back.
It's like, a certain instance has a time limit when playing a game, you have solved the boss in advance, but the time has not come, you can choose to leave the instance, or you can continue to stay in the instance to see the scenery - the task time is what affects him The key to leaving this world! As long as there is still time left, even if he reaches 100 favorability, can he continue to stay here to accompany Cheng Xia
Thinking of this, Pei Shaoze breathed a sigh of relief. He was extremely fortunate that he chose the time when he hid the reward last time.
System: "Anything else to ask?"
Pei Shaoze wondered: "Today is Cheng Xia's birthday, aren't you going to release the mission?"
System: "I was just about to say it. According to the original plot, today's task is to spend an unforgettable birthday with Cheng Xia and give him a gift that he likes. I thought you were going to refuse again, but you turned out to be ahead of schedule. finished."
Pei Shaoze, who completed the mission for the first time: "..."
It seems that the system has equated him with "strange players who never do quests".
System: "However, I guess you have to refuse the next plot mission."
Pei Shaoze: "Come and listen?"
System: "On the night of your birthday, take a hot spring with Cheng Xia."
"..." Pei Shaoze gently rubbed his temples. If he invited Cheng Xia to take a hot spring now, Cheng Xia would definitely think he was a pervert. Pei Shaoze said: "Forget it, how many points will be deducted this time?"
System: "Add 10 points for completing the birthday banquet task, and deduct 15 points for failing to complete the hot spring task. Your player points are 35 points."
Pei Shaoze made a light "um" sound, and the system started yawning: "Then I'm sleeping."
Quiet your mind.
Pei Shaoze thought about it carefully and found that the systematic tasks of this time through the book world were all about cultivating feelings with Cheng Xia, such as tagging Cheng Xia, bringing Cheng Xia home for the Chinese New Year, celebrating Cheng Xia's birthday, and taking a hot spring bath with Cheng Xia, etc. Wait.
However, he initially chose the career strategy route, which ran counter to the system's quest line.
The strange thing is that he obviously chose the wrong direction of strategy, and as a result, Cheng Xia's favorability level has also risen to 95 points - all thanks to the hard work of the young man. It's as if he planted a seedling in a flowerpot, watered it wrongly and fertilized it wrongly. As a result, not only did the small seedling not wither, but instead, it worked hard to grow taller
Pei Shaoze's heart softened slightly when he thought of Cheng Xia who worked hard to increase his favorability.
It's already 95 points, is it still far from the perfect score? He is not in a hurry now, he just wants to grow up slowly with Cheng Xia.
After a while, Pei Shaoze picked up his phone and saw Cheng Xiafa's Weibo on the homepage: "It's the first birthday of the Folding Paper crew, I'm very happy, thank you for all your blessings and gifts!"
Below are nine photos of the birthday party scene, including Cheng Xia wearing the "Happy Birthday" crown and making a wish and blowing out candles, as well as the full version of the birthday cake, the environment of the scene, the food, etc. These are obviously taken by Zhou Yan and sent to his.
Cheng Xia sent a nine-square grid, and the middle one was a birthday present from Pei Shaoze, an unpacked model of the car. Although he did not circle Pei Shaoze to express his gratitude, he placed the gift from President Pei in the middle of the Jiugongge picture, which was enough to express his importance.
Pei Shaoze sent a WeChat message to Cheng Xia: "Looking at how serious you are in making your wish, what wish did you make?" The photo of the wish was taken from the side. Cheng Xia put his hands together and looked extremely pious. Pei Shaoze couldn't help but wonder, does the little boy have any other wishes that he wants to fulfill? Can he help
Cheng Xia sent a blushing expression: "It won't work if you say your wish."
Pei Shaoze curved his lips: "Okay, go to bed early. We will be filming tomorrow, so don't stay up too late."
"Well, good night, Mr. Pei!"
After Cheng Xia took a bath, he lay in the bed and swiped Weibo for a while. Hundreds of messages were added below Weibo, most of them wishing Cheng Xia a happy birthday, and some fans recognized the gift and said excitedly: "This is GC. Is the company's latest orange limited-edition model? Who gave it? It's so thoughtful!" "My little brother has such a flexible hand to play the piano, it must be easy to put together these parts!" "Remember to send it after you finish."
Cheng Xia thought, I don't need to fight, my Alpha has already done it for me.
Of course, he didn't dare to post the finished picture. No one can complete thousands of parts in such a short time. So, you can just have fun, there is no need to show your affection openly.
Cheng Xia fondly touched the orange car and closed his eyes with a smile.
In his dream, the scene of the birthday banquet suddenly transformed into a romantic wedding scene. The scene where President Pei gave him a birthday crown also turned into a wedding ring on his hand. The emcee was asking: "Mr. Cheng Xia, are you willing to marry Mr. Pei Shaoze..." Before the emcee finished speaking, Cheng Xia hurriedly said, "I do, I do!"
Pei Shaoze: "..."
The audience burst into laughter. Cheng Xia blushed and could not wait to get into the ground. Then, Pei Shaoze suddenly raised his chin and kissed him gently.
Cheng Xia: "..."
When he woke up in the morning, Cheng Xia's face was flushed, and he went to the bathroom to flush cold water desperately to calm himself down.
He has been active in thinking since he was a child, with so many brain holes that he can't stop, and always has all kinds of strange dreams. Now he actually thinks the birthday banquet as a wedding, dreaming of marrying President Pei, and if it goes on like this, he estimates that he will dream that their children will go to kindergarten.
President Pei has a restrained personality, and is relatively calm and serious on weekdays. His love for him is all hidden in various details. As an Omega, he can't be too unrestrained, that will scare President Pei away!
And last night, perhaps because the system released a strange "hot spring task", Pei Shaoze also had a related dream. In the dream, there is a hot spring pool without borders, and the thick white mist shrouds the surrounding, hazy, like a fairyland.
It wasn't until the end that he could see another person's face - it was Cheng Xia.
After waking up in the morning, Pei Shaoze went to the bathroom to take a long cold shower, his face a little ugly.
How could he dream that he and Cheng Xia...
Cheng Xia is only 19 years old, a young and ignorant age. But he is already a 30-year-old adult psychologically, and he actually has such evil thoughts about a teenager so much younger than himself. What is the difference between his approach and the beast
Not only did he have a strange desire for monopoly on the seedlings he raised, he couldn't stand other Alphas approaching Cheng Xia, and he did that to Cheng Xia in his dreams. Pei Shaoze felt that he had become more and more irrational recently.
Should he separate from Cheng Xia for a while and calm down first
Just this morning, Chen Yijun sent a message: "Mr. Pei, the idol singer's variety show will start recording next month, thank you for giving me the opportunity! Have you determined the specific requirements for the theme song of the TV series? I think Take advantage of this free time and write it in advance.”
Pei Shaoze said, "I'll go back to Rongcheng to interview you."
He asked Zhang Fan to book a ticket for the day to fly back to Rongcheng.
When passing by the studio, seeing Cheng Xia filming, Pei Shaoze took the initiative to step forward.
The dream last night made both of them very embarrassed. Cheng Xia remembered the wedding scene, and the tips of his ears flushed; Pei Shaoze remembered what happened in the hot spring, and couldn't help his cheeks heat up.
After a moment of relative silence, Pei Shaoze said, "I have something to do when I return to Rongcheng. You take care of yourself in the crew."
Cheng Xia was stunned for a while, then looked up at him: "How long is Mr. Pei going this time?"
Pei Shaoze's heart skipped a beat when he saw those clear eyes, and he hurriedly looked away: "...Not sure, it may take a long time. I want to finalize the theme song of this drama with Chen Yijun, and several video broadcasting platforms also You have to contact in advance, otherwise the film will be delayed in time."
Cheng Xia nodded earnestly: "I understand, go get busy! Don't worry, there will be no problem with the crew."
The favorability rating has reached 95, so don't rush to 100. The filming on the crew side is getting smoother and smoother, and Pei Shaoze really doesn't need to be with the crew every day. He will affect Cheng Xia. Every time Cheng Xia sees him, he blushes, and Cheng Xia will also affect him. It's really embarrassing to have this kind of dream again.
Maybe this is a strange pheromone at work, so let's take a break and calm down for a while.
***
After returning to Rongcheng, Pei Shaoze resumed his resolute work style.
He finalized the theme song with Chen Yijun as quickly as possible, and found a professional music studio to produce the soundtrack for the show. At the same time, he met with several domestic video platforms to chat about the initial broadcast intentions, and also found powerful special effects. , The editing studio agreed on the post-production of the show.
Cheng Xia is also very motivated, the script is memorized thoroughly, and even the number of NGs is much less in the next shooting.
In the blink of an eye, a month passed, and the filming of the folding paper gradually came to an end.
There are many origami scenes in Qin Nian at the end stage, and Liu Dao originally planned to give Cheng Xia a few days to adapt. As a result, when the first scene was filmed, when he saw the boy's flexible hands and folded a cute paper rabbit in less than 10 seconds, Director Liu couldn't help but be surprised: "Cheng Xia, have you studied it specially?"
Cheng Xia said with a smile: "Well, I have some tutorials, and I will practice with the hotel's message book every night when I am free."
The guestbook in his room had already been disassembled and folded, and he asked the front desk for several more.
Liu Xueyi couldn't help but sigh, today's young people are getting more and more impetuous, and many newcomers just want to soar to the sky and become popular... There are fewer and fewer newcomers like Cheng Xia who conscientiously figure out the roles and study the plot assiduously. What director doesn't like an actor like this
Because the filming went too smoothly, in mid-May, the Folding Paper crew ushered in the final scene of the finale.
Pei Shaoze also flew back from Rongcheng.
He is very busy every day during this time, and the high-intensity work is the rhythm of life he is familiar with. However, whenever he sleeps alone at night, he always feels that the bottom of his heart is empty, as if a corner is missing. I dream of Cheng Xia more and more often. I thought it was the influence of pheromones, it would be good to separate and calm down, but after the separation, I still couldn't completely let go of the little boy in my mind.
I can't help thinking about him, thinking about him.
Worried about whether he ate and slept well in the crew? Worried about whether he can find a state when filming? Will it be criticized by the director
The content of the dream is getting richer and richer. It takes a long time to take a cold shower in the morning to calm the evil impulse in my heart. No matter how calm people are, they can't control their dreams. Those strange dreams seem to warn of something.
Pei Shaoze had never missed a person so much.
As long as he doesn't work and is quiet, there will be a lovely shadow dangling in his mind.
This month-long separation, not only did not make him calmly keep a good distance from Cheng Xia, but instead made Pei Shaoze think clearly about one thing in his repeated dreams and thoughts.
For Cheng Xia, it is not the tolerance and love of the elders for the younger generation, nor the protection and care of the young seedlings by the tree planters, nor the so-called "old father's mentality who does not want to see his son fall in love" - the elders will not treat the younger generation like that in their dreams , The tree planter will not miss the seedlings every day, and it is impossible for an old father to let his son not fall in love all his life, right
His attitude towards Cheng Xia, in the final analysis, is actually a very strong possessiveness.
— is an adult man, possessive of the person he loves.

Mr. Pei, who is a little enlightened:)
