Why would screenwriter Li suddenly participate in a variety show? There's never been a precedent for this before.
Just like Teacher Chen said, they probably wanted to experience life here.
[Could it be that screenwriter Li came here to find inspiration? If so, then it's definitely something to look forward to.]
Wow, upstairs, now that you mention it, I think it's quite possible too. Someone as responsible as screenwriter Li would definitely do something like that.
I'm now really looking forward to screenwriter Lee and director Lee Jin collaborating again. Director Lee Jin has already returned to the screen, and the thought of them working together is truly exciting.
Hearing you say that, I suddenly feel quite excited too. If Director Li Zhen could collaborate with screenwriter Li, it would truly be a powerful combination, and it would definitely be a visual feast.
The audience's guesses continued, but unfortunately, none of them guessed the specific reason why Li Siyao was there.
The reason Li Siyao chose to participate in the recording of this program was not, as the audience speculated, to seek inspiration, nor, as Chen Xingyu said, to experience life.
She was here because she wanted to get closer to Tang Xue and Lin Xin.
That's right, Li Siyao's target was Tang Xue and Lin Xin. The reason Li Siyao knew about this variety show was because her daughter was watching it, and she glanced at it by chance. It was this glance that made her notice Tang Xue and Lin Xin.
Li Siyao has a script in her hands, a script she has been preparing for many years, but she has never contacted any director.
In the past, Li Siyao had considered contacting Li Zhen. Of all the directors she had worked with, Li Zhen was the one she was most satisfied with. Whether it was casting or filming, Li Zhen had never disappointed her.
At that time, her script was still in the process of being prepared and could not be released immediately. By the time she had finished preparing the script, Li Zhen had already stopped making films.
This was truly a regrettable thing for Li Siyao.
If it were anyone else, after learning about this, they would definitely try to contact Li Zhen to see if he would be moved by the script and come out of retirement again.
But Li Siyao wasn't that kind of person. In her opinion, since the other party had made such a choice, he must have his own reasons.
She didn't want to bother the other person because of her own reasons, so the script was shelved.
Li Siyao's social circle is very simple, and she doesn't deliberately investigate things, let alone surf Weibo.
Therefore, Li Siyao is still not entirely clear about Li Zhen's return to public life.
She's been holding onto this script for far too long. It's not that she doesn't want to film it, but she can't find suitable actors or directors right now.
If this script is sold, other people will naturally take care of it.
But Li Siyao didn't want to do that. This was the script she had put the most effort into, so she wanted to film it properly and find the most suitable actors, rather than rushing through it.
So when Li Siyao accidentally saw Tang Xue and Lin Xin, she had the idea of getting to know them first, to see if they met her requirements.

Chapter 121
===================
Since they were going to rest for a while after dinner and then go to sleep, the dinner the three of them prepared was not very lavish. They killed a fish, made fish soup with half of it, and cooked the other half into fish chunks.
After that, they cooked two more hot dishes and three cold dishes, making a total of six dishes and a soup, which was quite good.
During dinner, the group did not chat as they had before.
After all, there's now Li Siyao, who gives off the feeling of a refined young lady raised by noble families in ancient times.
So when they were together, everyone subconsciously thought of the proverb "one should not speak while eating or sleeping," and the meal ended in such a quiet atmosphere.
After dinner, the three male guests took on the task of cleaning up the kitchen, and the others, unable to compete, had no choice but to give up.
After the three of them came out of the kitchen, they sat together and chatted for a while before preparing to go back to their rooms to rest, since they were all really exhausted today.
"Xiaoxue, why do you think screenwriter Li chose to participate in this variety show?"
Under normal circumstances, Lin Xiaoxiao would naturally be able to get the answer she wanted from the system.
But ever since she changed the relationship between the male and female protagonists, the plot points she knew before have become useless.
Therefore, she didn't know why Li Siyao was there, nor did she understand what the other party wanted to do.
"I'm not quite sure." Tang Xue recalled their conversation while they were cooking in the kitchen.
Based on these chat logs, it's really hard to figure out why the other person would participate in this variety show.
"Screenwriter Li is an incredibly talented screenwriter. If I could act in one of her scripts..."
Although Lin Xiaoxiao didn't say what she was going to say, Tang Xue completely understood what she meant.
The scripts in Li Siyao's hands are absolutely top-notch, an opportunity that many people would kill for.
It's impossible for Tang Xue not to want such an opportunity; as an actress, she naturally hopes to gain recognition.
Li Siyao is a very remarkable person; she takes her scripts very seriously.
If she can't find an actor who fits the role in her script, she'd rather keep the script to herself than sell it.
This is one of the reasons why actors who starred in Li Siyao's scripts became wildly popular after filming ended.
It's because the role was a perfect fit that it brought out all the actor's strengths.
Therefore, getting a role in Li Siyao's script is not an easy task, but it's not entirely impossible either.
After all, what Li Siyao values is the fit between the actor and the role, not the actor's fame.
"Don't think about those things." Tang Xue walked to Lin Xiaoxiao's side, reached out and pinched her cheek. "You have to take things one step at a time. You can't become a fat person overnight."
The moment Tang Xue saw Li Siyao, she did have some other thoughts, but it was only for a moment. Tang Xue had a very clear understanding of herself.
She didn't consider herself a chosen one, nor did she believe that all good things would fall into her lap.
In Tang Xue's opinion, her appearance in Director Li Zhen's drama was entirely due to Lin Xiaoxiao's help.
Although Lin Xiaoxiao kept saying that she had earned this opportunity herself, Tang Xue knew very well that without Lin Xiaoxiao, she wouldn't even have had such an opportunity.
Tang Xue wasn't someone who fantasized about achieving success overnight; she simply wanted to do her best in everything she could.
"I wonder if screenwriter Li has any suitable scripts?" Lin Xiaoxiao stroked her chin. Although she was a little envious, she also knew very well that Li Siyao was no different from others.
She could handle other things, but when it came to Li Siyao, Lin Xiaoxiao had no better solution.
Unless the script the other party has happens to have a role that matches Tang Xue's, no matter what method she comes up with, she will not be able to help Tang Xue get the script.
"If you'd like, you can meet with screenwriter Li privately after filming is over."
Every script that Li Siyao has is guaranteed to become a huge hit once it's adapted into a film. That's for sure. So, there are a lot of people who want to get their hands on a script from Li Siyao.
If Lin Xiaoxiao can get such an opportunity, it will definitely be very beneficial to the development of the Lin Group.
However, the script in Li Siyao's hands is not so easy to buy.
Before Li Siyao became famous, she probably didn't have many choices.
But now it's not others choosing Li Siyao, it's Li Siyao choosing people. If someone wants to buy the script rights from her, that's no joke.
“It’s definitely worth considering.” Lin Xiaoxiao pondered for a moment, a smile flashing in her eyes. It might be quite difficult for others to get such an opportunity.
But she happened to have another trump card up her sleeve: Li Zhen was the director who had worked with Li Siyao the most.
If Li Zhen has this idea, it might not be impossible for her to get the script from Li Siyao.
However, even if she were to get such an opportunity, she would probably have no say in the choice of roles.
"Don't think about me." Tang Xue knew what Lin Xiaoxiao was thinking when she saw her looking at her.
She didn't feel that just because she was with Lin Xiaoxiao now, Lin Xiaoxiao had to pile all the good things in front of her.
She didn't think Lin Xiaoxiao's actions hurt her self-esteem; Tang Xue could still distinguish right from wrong.
Most importantly, Lin Xiaoxiao is not the kind of person who forces you to do something under the guise of doing it for your own good. Instead, she will only create such an opportunity for you, and the rest is up to you to work hard.
Tang Xue liked this aspect, for a simple reason: it made her feel respected.
It will make her realize that the opportunity she received was not entirely due to Lin Xiaoxiao, but also to her own efforts.
"Perhaps screenwriter Li participated in this variety show to test you."
Lin Xiaoxiao squinted and chuckled. She had only said it as a joke, but she never expected that it would come true.
"Alright, stop thinking about these things and hurry up and take your medicine." Tang Xue tested the water temperature before handing the cup to Lin Xiaoxiao.
Lin Xiaoxiao took a big gulp of water to suppress the bitter taste in her mouth; she really had no liking for taking medicine.
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's face scrunched up from taking the medicine, Tang Xue shook her head with amusement.
He walked to the bedside table, opened a small box, took out a chubby White Rabbit milk candy, peeled off the coating, and held the candy to Lin Xiaoxiao's lips.
Lin Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up, and she opened her mouth to put the candy in her mouth, happily squinting her eyes. "One candy after medicine, live to ninety-nine."
Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's happy expression, Tang Xue's eyes curved slightly, her gaze becoming somewhat deep. The next second, she bent down, leaned forward, and accurately kissed Lin Xiaoxiao's red lips.
Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, her mind went blank, and her mouth opened slightly involuntarily, giving Tang Xue an opportunity.
Tang Xue curled her tongue slightly and deftly rolled the White Rabbit candy from Lin Xiaoxiao's mouth into her own.
Lin Xiaoxiao snapped out of her daze and lightly bit Tang Xue's lip, somewhat annoyed, signaling the other party to quickly return her White Rabbit candy.
Tang Xue chuckled and fed the partially melted White Rabbit candy back to Lin Xiaoxiao's mouth. The sweet taste spread through their mouths and lips, making them even more captivated.
Their lips met, and the White Rabbit candy gradually melted as they pulled on each other.
Tang Xue supported herself on the bed with one hand and placed the other hand on Lin Xiaoxiao's neck, entwining her lips and tongue with Lin Xiaoxiao's, taking all the sweetness from her mouth into her own.
"It's very sweet."
Noticing that Lin Xiaoxiao was having some difficulty breathing, Tang Xue reluctantly let go of her and kissed the corner of Lin Xiaoxiao's lips, her tone carrying a hint of ill intent.
"I'm going to take a shower first. Get ready, and I'll help you shower when I'm done."
Seeing Tang Xue enter the bathroom in a cheerful mood, Lin Xiaoxiao's blush, which had subsided, returned to her face.
