“Pretty much,” Liang Shi said. “Just like on my planet and here.”
"Are we humans being controlled?" Xu Qingzhu asked, "Just like you and that person, who can be switched at will."
"No, we are controlled, and we are not controlled. They will manipulate us according to our own will."
"..."
Before going to sleep, the two of them would think about strange and vast questions, and even in their dreams they would dream of boundless starry rivers and the universe.
The next day, Liang Shi said she dreamed of a spaceship, while Xu Qingzhu said she dreamed of planting roses on a desolate planet.
The two exclaimed that their dream was absurd.
Once you start talking it out, it's actually not so bad.
With someone to listen to his boredom and worries, Liang Shi wouldn't keep everything bottled up inside.
Many things don't seem like a big deal once you talk about them.
Therefore, Liang Shi did not grieve for the original owner for long; she only hoped that the original owner could have a new life after going through these things.
Time flies, and soon it's the end of spring.
Yu Wan's child has already had a full-month celebration, and Zhao Xuning and Shen Hui have finally reconciled.
Zhao Xuning still didn't tell Shen Hui about Wu Li.
He only said that he regretted it that day, so he went to repent.
Shen Hui didn't ask any questions.
When Liang Shi went to visit Yu Wan, he learned by chance that Qiu Zimin was sick and hospitalized, and it seemed to be a serious illness.
Liang Shi didn't even think about taking a look.
Liang Xinran remains active on screen, and has even taken on a TV series, starting with an S+ rating.
Liang Shi didn't envy her; he just felt that the power of capital was too strong.
When she complained to Xu Qingzhu, Xu Qingzhu jokingly asked her, "What? You want me to help you too?"
Liang Shi pinched her waist, "What kind of person do you take me for?"
"She's mine." Xu Qingzhu said matter-of-factly, "I can give her to you if I want to, I'm happy to."
“I don’t want to,” Liang Shi said. “I want to stick to you.”
Xu Qingzhu: "?"
Xu Qingzhu's belly was getting bigger and bigger. It wasn't noticeable when she was in the early stages of pregnancy, but as the pregnancy progressed, the tendency to have twins became very obvious, and Xu Qingzhu's belly was quite large.
Now Liang Shi applies ointment to Xu Qingzhu's belly every day to prevent her belly from becoming loose after giving birth.
Liang Shi felt sorry for them and kept saying, "Why can't you adopt two children? Why do you have to give birth to them yourself?"
Of course, her words had no effect.
In everyone's eyes, it is normal for Omegas to get pregnant and give birth.
Especially since the birth rate on this planet is so low that abortion is no longer permitted.
Xu Qingzhu has difficulty getting around now, so Liang Shi picks her up and drops her off every day.
Since I didn't spend much time on set, I found myself another job and started making vlogs.
Her vlogs aren't about filming herself; they have a set theme.
Each episode is very short, like a short documentary about a profession.
In the first episode, she filmed the security guards of her own community and the security guards of the community next door.
These vlogs were all filmed in her spare time, when she started learning camera movement, photography, editing, and even lighting techniques on her own.
After filming three episodes, Gu Yixue proactively messaged her: [Like.jpg]
Liang Shi, however, was blunt: "Where's your new script?"
Gu Yixue: […I have no ideas, I'm planning to make an IP film.]
Liang Shi: [?]
Liang Shi: [From a movie?]
Gu Yixue: [It's a TV series, probably one of those 12-episode short dramas. Have you read the popular online novel from a while back called "Sharp Edge"?]
Liang Shi: [No, I've never heard of it.]
Gu Yixue: [The platform invited me to film this, and they're offering a good amount of money.]
Liang Shi: [Do you still care about money?]
Gu Yixue: [...This novel is good.]
Liang Shi felt that her words were the truth.
For someone like Gu Yixue, money is secondary; the content is the main thing.
However, Gu Yixue still had concerns. Cooperating with the platform was different from what she had done before. Having a platform meant having investors. In the past, Gu Yixue's productions were entirely her own business. Even if investors wanted to add people to the project, they had to see if Gu Yixue wanted to participate.
Only when Gu Yixue said no did the investors dare not force her to comply.
If they really anger Gu Yixue, then the investors can just take their money and leave. Gu Yixue isn't short of money.
If Gu Yixue signs a contract with the platform, it means she won't be able to do whatever she wants.
Unfortunately, the copyright for the novel belongs to the platform, and the platform has promised Gu Yixue that it will give her absolute rights.
They even gave her the right to adapt the script.
This made Gu Yixue's heart flutter.
Liang Shi then suggested that she take the job and try to cooperate with others. Before, when she was alone abroad, her own team was enough. Now that she has returned to China, she will inevitably be restricted in many ways. It would be better to have a powerful backer.
Gu Yixue suggested that she take a look, and if there was an opportunity, they could collaborate on another project. She felt that there was a role in the project that would be very suitable for Liang Shi.
Liang Shi: "..."
Is this the benefit of having many influential friends?
However, Liang Shi did indeed order the book online.
She noticed that the author's pen name was "Wen Chuan".
I feel like I've seen this name somewhere before.
Liang Shi's Vlog is also thriving, and he has even found some enjoyment in directing. He often exchanges ideas with Gu Yixue when he has free time.
Life gradually became more interesting and dynamic.
Lu Jiayi and Fu You's wedding is scheduled for late spring in Kyoto.
Liang Shi and Xu Qingzhu also flew to Kyoto.
The Lu family is considered a powerful family in Kyoto, and the Fu family is not to be underestimated either, but Fu You's identity is not so glamorous.
Fu You's mother was not the wife of the Fu family, and she didn't even live in the Fu family.
At their wedding, Xu Qingzhu overheard gossip while sitting in the sun, saying that Fu You's mother had become a nun.
Because Fu You's father married the woman he is now, and Fu You's mother became his mistress without his knowledge.
However, some people say that Fu You's mother was her father's first love, so Fu You was her father's favorite child and received much better treatment than the other children born to Mrs. Fu.
However, even the most capable Mr. Fu has his limits. He is often away on business trips and busy with company affairs, so he doesn't pay much attention to Fu You.
But the wedding was indeed lavish.
The most luxurious restaurant in the best location in Kyoto hosts a continuous banquet, with nearly a thousand guests coming and going.
Liang Shi and Xu Qingzhu even discussed privately which family, the Lu family of Kyoto or the Shen family of Haizhou, was richer.
It was later concluded that the Lu family in Kyoto had more power, while the Shen family in Haizhou was wealthier.
The two of them chatted casually about gossip about the wealthy, just like any ordinary couple in the city.
This wedding brought Liang Shi another shock, prompting her to start making plans in her mind.
Their wedding will likely be held by the sea.
Liang Shi wanted to go to the seaside and bring the excitement to a more distant place.
Liang Shi had never been to Kyoto before, so she took the opportunity to stroll around the city with Xu Qingzhu.
Because they came from Haizhou, Lu Jiayi and Fu You applied to be their tour guides the day after they finished their wedding.
Liang Shi paid special attention to Lu Jiayi.
She discovered that although Lu Jiayi didn't like Fu You, she was exceptionally tolerant and caring towards him after marriage. This care wasn't the kind of care one would give to a girl who was weaker than her, but rather the kind of consideration one would show to a wife.
Even if Fu You is being unreasonable, Lu Jiayi will still frown and accompany her to do it.
Her eyes didn't convey any willingness to compromise for the sake of the family business and inheritance rights; they simply showed her dislike for the matter, but she would still accompany Fu You.
Liang Shi suddenly understood the post-marital relationship between her and Xu Qingzhu as described in the original text.
Because that's just how Lu Jiayi is.
No matter who she marries, once she's made up her mind, she can pretend to be a good wife, even if it's just an act.
She and Xu Qingzhu were such soulmates; they shared many interests and could talk about anything. Even without love, they were doing quite well together.
However, when she's with Fu You, it's obvious that Lu Jiayi gets angry more often.
Fu You often flirts with danger, but he never really makes Lu Jiayi angry.
The night before Liang Shi and the others left Kyoto, Lu Jiayi invited them to a club for drinks.
It's a high-end, respectable club.
Fu You did not come.
They said they were going to a classmate reunion and would come over after it was over.
Lu Jiayi treated them well as a host, but during their conversation, she and Xu Qingzhu still couldn't escape the business world.
Although Lu Jiayi was 80% confident of inheriting the Lu family's inheritance, she also made two plans for herself.
One of them went to sea and set up his own business, and from then on he was no longer in the capital.
