I'll Swat You to Death~

"Don't eat so much next time, or you might have crushed me with that jump."

As Qin Jiu spoke, she casually reached up and stroked it, her fingers sinking into the soft, thick orange fur.

He rubbed his hands while checking the schedule on his Lightbrain.

The schedule is packed.

So full that there's barely a moment left to breathe.

However, this is not difficult for him now.

Today, Qin Jiu exudes a vibrant and energetic spirit.

"Ling Yu, as I said, this weekend needs to be free. Move your schedule for that period later; if that's not possible, cancel it."

Ling Yu pushed up his thin-rimmed glasses, and his shrewd eyes narrowed slightly behind the lenses.

He seemed to be carefully choosing his words, but finally spoke:

"Do you know who originally had that time slot scheduled for? If you cancel it, it will have a huge impact on your future career."

Ling Yu was not unaware of Qin Jiu's strange rule.

For seven years, it has been the same every year, every week, without interruption.

Every weekend, without fail, I set aside three hours.

He still doesn't understand what the other party was doing during that time period.

Perhaps he's hiding away to drink alone?

After all, every time Qin Jiu emerged from those three hours, his entire body was filled with a clear and lingering aroma of wine.

But Ling Yu didn't ask any further questions.

He's an agent, not a nanny. As long as it doesn't interfere with business, he can turn a blind eye.

However, his intuition told him that this matter was not simple.

Qin Jiu lowered his eyes, his fingertips gently scratching the Fat Orange's chin, making the Fat Orange roll over in pleasure. Hearing Ling Yu's words, his expression remained unwavering, his tone even more forceful:

"Reject it."

He is not afraid of being blacklisted or sidelined.

What ordinary people see as a bright future and a glamorous career is nothing more than a performance he puts on casually.

The reason he agreed to Ling Yu was to leave that quiet winery, stand in front of the camera, stand in the center of the stage, and turn himself into a face known to everyone on the Star Network.

The reason is very simple.

He wanted to be a dazzling person.

So dazzling that if that god were to occasionally open the Star Network and casually swipe through it, he could spot his figure at a glance amidst the myriad lights.

That's all.

"Fine, let's push it."

Ling Yu relented, took off his glasses, wiped the lenses, and put them back on his nose. His gaze behind the lenses fell heavily on Qin Jiu's face.

"But you have to tell me, what have you been doing all this time? It wasn't just spending time with your girlfriend, was it? But you're publicly portraying yourself as single. If your obsessive fans find out... they'll probably go crazy."

For celebrities, a public persona is like water to a fish or soil to a flower.

It looks vague and intangible, impossible to grasp or hold onto.

But once he establishes himself, he becomes the unshakable "him" in the hearts of millions of fans.

But if one day this "he" does something that contradicts his public image, seriously goes out of character, or his persona collapses, then the overwhelming response will no longer be flowers and applause, but rather insults, losing fans, turning against him... and even more terrifying things.

The Fat Orange seemed to finally sense the atmosphere between its owner and Ling Yu.

Its round eyes narrowed, and its pupils contracted slightly.

The once limp, fat body suddenly tensed up.

It turned its head, glared at Ling Yu, and raised its seemingly chubby paw.

[Hmph, what do you think you're doing? If you dare bully my master, Fat Orange Lord, I'll slap you to death this time.]

Ling Yu looked at Fat Orange, and his intuition told him that the other party had Killing Intent.

Ling Yu sighed inwardly.

Fate is a strange thing, sometimes so mysterious it leaves you speechless. The Qin Jiu he signed back then would actually be this cat's owner. But he really couldn't understand how a mere orange cat could have... swatted him flying like that back then?

Of course, even Ling Yu wouldn't go around spreading such a shameful thing.

However, as humiliating as it may be, curiosity is something that cannot be suppressed.

So all these years, he has been secretly observing.

Then he discovered that the master and servant were simply not human.

Let's not even talk about this Fat Orange whose fighting power is even more outrageous.

Speaking of Qin Jiu himself, his physical strength and power are far beyond what ordinary people can match.

During filming, a chandelier suddenly fell from the ceiling and was about to hit the female lead.

At that moment, Qin Jiu kicked the chandelier aside.

It was that dashing kick that made him famous, transforming him from an unknown actor into a household name.

It's hard to imagine that when this person signed the contract, he mentioned, "I used to be in poor health; I would cough after walking just a few steps. I was a sickly person."

Sickly?

Ling Yu always finds it outrageous when she thinks about it.

You? Someone like you? A sickly weakling?

Wouldn't that make him crippled?

No wonder they were able to raise such a Fat Orange...

This type of defeated bandit.

Ling Yu thought for a moment, then glanced at the Fat Orange again, which was still staring at him intently.

But he was waiting for an answer.

Qin Jiu rubbed the Fat Orange, not wanting to bring up the That Matter.

That Matter was his story with God and Fat Orange.

Over the years, Ling Yu has been busy taking care of him, handling every little thing with utmost care and concern. From itinerary planning and resource coordination to public relations crises and fan management, Ling Yu has handled everything perfectly without ever making a major mistake.

It can be said that Qin Jiu has gone from an unknown small-time Brewing Artisan to a household name on the Star Network today.

It can be said that Ling Yu made an indispensable contribution.
