Are you trying to force me to become a star?

Chapter 98, "Interviewing Awesomeness," reappears.

"Do you remember what you told me on WeChat back then? I'm divorced now!"

As soon as she spoke, the room fell into an unspeakable silence.

In the recording studio on the ninth floor, there were only three people present: Zhao Liying, Xu Jinyan, and recording engineer Lu Yin.

Zhao Liying and Xu Jinyan looked at each other without saying a word.

Lu Yin, standing to the side: I'm most afraid of sudden silence~

Becoming Xu Jinyan's recording engineer was arguably the best decision he ever made; he's got both a good performance and plenty of fun.

Judging from Zhao Liying's words, could her divorce be because of...?

And Xu Jinyan probably didn't keep that promise she made on WeChat...

That was fucking thrilling!!!

So Zhao Liying isn't here to record today!

That makes sense. She should have rested a bit on the day of the official announcement, but she insisted on coming to find Xu Jinyan.

But you two really don't treat me like an outsider.

Zhao Liying paid no attention to Lu Yin's complicated thoughts; she simply wanted to play a prank.

Although her current situation has nothing to do with what Xu Jinyan said back then, looking back, it always feels like a prophecy.

Perhaps judging from the fact that she didn't react much when Xu Jinyan said those words, she may have foreseen this outcome.

But that doesn't stop her from making fun of Xu Jinyan.

Seeing Xu Jinyan, who was usually humorous and eloquent, fall into an unusual silence, she found it extremely interesting.

Finally, Xu Jinyan looked at her and said gently and sincerely, "The child must take my surname!"

Lu Yin: "..."

My brother is being foolish! Even Dorgon couldn't handle a divorced woman with a child!

Zhao Liying: "..."

Six simple words, and the game is over!

She wanted to laugh, but looking at Xu Jinyan's sincere expression, her smile seemed a little unnatural.

No, how did a perfectly normal joke end up like this?

In the end, she stopped recording and left in a hurry.

Watching Zhao Liying's departing figure, Lu Yin walked over, patted Xu Jinyan on the shoulder, and sighed, "Teacher Xu... you're a hero!"

Seeing his thumbs up, Xu Jinyan chuckled and placed a hand on his shoulder.

Lu Yinchong nodded and was about to leave when he was surprised to find that he couldn't move.

He turned his head in shock and looked at the hand on his shoulder, which was fair and slender, without any bulging veins.

He strained with all his might, his face turning red, but he still couldn't move.

He looked at Xu Jinyan in disbelief, stammering, "Teacher Xu...no...it's not necessary to silence him, is it?"

He was horrified by Xu Jinyan's strength. Could he really tear me apart alive?

"I was just kidding," Xu Jinyan said with a smile, moving her hand away. "Old Lu, you might have misunderstood. Actually, Zhao Liying was the one who joked first. Otherwise, why would she say something like that in front of you?"

Lu Yin nodded as he grimaced and stretched his arms. He had also guessed that Zhao Liying wanted to tease the younger man, but Xu Jinyan had played an even bigger joke.

But now, he's certain that's how it is, no matter what!

He sized up Xu Jinyan's physique, then reached out and squeezed his arm: "You're... born with superhuman strength?"

"You've been reading too many martial arts novels, haven't you?" Xu Jinyan slapped his hand away impatiently and patted his shoulder.

"The Jianjing acupoint is densely populated with muscles and nerves. Pressing it hard can block the flow of qi and blood and numb the limbs."

Lu Yin nodded; this explanation made much more sense.

He then asked, "By the way, speaking of wuxia novels, you're familiar with Lin Yuan. The Lantern Festival is over, is he still updating that lousy novel?"

[Negative emotions from Lu Yin: +99]

Xu Jinyan: "...It'll be soon, he said it'll be soon."

His earnings from this holiday were not ideal.

On February 2nd, the promotion of "A Journey Through the Mountains" and his leave of absence for "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" directly replenished the hidden energy reserves he had used up due to "massage".

For the next two weeks, the demand for novels was not very high because everyone was celebrating the Chinese New Year.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, most people returned to work, and negative emotions gradually increased.

However, perhaps because everyone was tired from the Lunar New Year celebrations, the price increase was not particularly encouraging.

He sighed. Isn't the Lunar New Year a time to relax? How can it be even more tiring?

In the next couple of days, public attention will be drawn to Zhao Liying's situation again, and the expected outcome will be minimal.

Becoming an omnipotent god is a long and arduous journey.

He left Canglan, preparing to return home to find inspiration.

Thinking about today's recording session, he couldn't help but grin; he's not one to be put under pressure.

When Sister Zhao left, she seemed to be fleeing in panic.

Just as Xu Jinyan was thinking about these things, he saw a large group of reporters gathering towards him.

"Xu Jinyan, did Zhao Liying ask you to record a song with her today?"

"Xu Jinyan, did Zhao Liying's recording go smoothly today?"

"Xu Jinyan, what do you think about Zhao Liying coming to work today after officially announcing her divorce?"

"..."

It seems they couldn't find Zhao Liying, so they came here specifically to ambush him!

He thought for a moment and said seriously, "Sister Liying did ask me to write a song, but she's not here to record one today."

"Her personal reasons prevented the pre-arranged recording from taking place, so she came to apologize and then left."

The reporters exchanged bewildered glances; this explanation... was both reasonable and somewhat off.

For something like this, can't you just make a phone call?

Suddenly, one of the reporters asked, "I saw Professor Xu coming out with a smile on her face. What were you smiling about?"

Xu Jinyan: ...Damn it, can't I even smile?

Seeing the reporter's negative emotions, he understood his thoughts: Why did Zhao Liying contact Xu Jinyan on the day she officially announced her divorce?

He laughed and said, "I remembered something happy."

"What's making you happy?"

Xu Jinyan shrugged: "My wife is giving birth."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Reporters: "..."

Did they...did they just interview something explosive?

The reporters quickly turned around to chase after Xu Jinyan, only to find that even at a jog, they couldn't keep up with her walking speed.

In the end, they could only watch helplessly as Xu Jinyan drove away.

……

……

Wednesday, November 2016, 2.

On an ordinary day, top actress Zhao Liying, born in 85, first announced her divorce.

While netizens were busy gossiping and digging into the details of the couple's three-year marriage, trying to find any clues,

Then, a news item suddenly appeared: Xu Jinyan's wife gave birth.

They were stunned: There was another expert?

What's wrong with me today?

The hashtag #XuJinyan'sWifeGivesBirth# surpassed #ZhaoLiyingDivorce# and topped the trending search list.

"No, who are you with?"

"Already married? No way!"

"It looks fake."

"You'll see if you watch the interviews; Xu Jinyan is just spouting nonsense again."

"The reporter's questions were also very confusing. After asking about Zhao Liying's divorce, they asked him why he was laughing?"

"He really can't handle pressure!"

Is it possible that the truth is often hidden within a joke?

"..."

Xu Jinyan had just returned home when she received a call from Sister Zhao.

"Be careful, you..."

On the other end of the phone, there was a hesitation.
