Do You Two Have Something Going On?

Just as Si Jiao Ji and several other well-known uploaders started chatting in the WeChat group, Jiang Qiuyi spoke up.

Qiuqiu yiyi: I know the person you found.

Dao Dao Zi: Huh? Who is this? A sight rarer than once in a century. (smirk)

Li Yuan Jiang: Qiuqiu knows this newbie uploader? Is he your friend?

Qiuqiu yiyi: Yep, I was the one who recommended Bilibili to him. Should I pull him into the group? @Si Jiao Ji

Si Jiao Ji: Is he reliable?

Qiuqiu yiyi: Don't worry, I know him in real life.

Si Jiao Ji: Then bring him in. Big names in the crafts category are pretty rare.

After getting the group owner's approval, Jiang Qiuyi immediately sprang off her bed and ran to Chen Wen's craft room.

Chen Wen happened to be taking a break, so Jiang Qiuyi hurriedly gave him a brief rundown.

"So someone is looking for me?" Chen Wen summed up. "Then I can just add him on WeChat, right?"

"You can," Jiang Qiuyi explained patiently, "but most of the uploaders in this group have over a hundred thousand followers. Quite a few have hundreds of thousands or even millions."

"And everyone lives around Hu City, so they interact from time to time. They generally don't just add people casually."

"This is a rare opportunity. Join the group and get familiar with them. Anyway, it can't hurt."

Chen Wen did not particularly care, and obediently scanned the QR code to enter the WeChat group called "Modu Behind-the-Scenes Bosses."

--"Ill-informed Wen" joined the group chat by scanning the QR code shared by "Qiuqiu yiyi."

Dao Dao Zi: Welcome, great master of the crafts category!!!

Li Yuan Jiang: Welcome, great master of the crafts category!!!

Whenever a newcomer joined, the real big shots started pretending to be newbies, acting as though they had admired him for ages.

Ill-informed Wen: Hello, everyone.

Chen Wen showed no reaction to this at all and merely greeted them in a very stiff manner.

Qiuqiu yiyi: Just call him Little Wen.

Si Jiao Ji: Wen-ge! Saving one life is worth more than building a seven-story pagoda!

Ill-informed Wen: Were you looking for me?

Si Jiao Ji: Yes, yes, yes! My little sister watched your ring video, but several of the rings couldn't be used to tap a card at all. She wanted to ask what went wrong.

Ill-informed Wen: I need to know exactly how she handled the whole process, or I can't judge.

The Meal Card Ring Transformation craft project actually involved a great deal of basic knowledge from different fields.

None of it was particularly advanced, but if a layperson blindly copied the steps, overlooking even one minor detail could make the chip inside unusable.

Si Jiao Ji: Which district of Hu City are you in? If possible, want to set something up tomorrow, over the weekend? I'll have my little sister bring the stuff over, and you can teach her yourself.

Seeing that message, Chen Wen looked at Jiang Qiuyi and asked, "Is this person reliable?"

"Si Jiao Ji is a fairly well-known rich second-generation kid in Hu City. His character should be fine," Jiang Qiuyi said. "I've seen him several times at conventions before. He's a pretty good person, not arrogant at all."

"Male or female?"

"Male, of course."

Although he did not know why a guy would choose a name ending in "Ji," Chen Wen nodded and continued replying on his phone.

Ill-informed Wen: Sure. Just come directly to my place. I've been working on the Explainer lately, and I don't want to waste time.

Jiang Qiuyi: "?"

"Why are you bringing people to your house?"

Chen Wen froze. "Is that not okay?"

"It's not that it isn't okay..." Jiang Qiuyi pouted. "Si Jiao Ji is a guy, but his little sister is a girl."

Hearing Jiang Qiuyi say that, Chen Wen fell silent. He stroked his chin and studied her before asking curiously, "Is this jealousy?"

"Who's jealous?!" Jiang Qiuyi widened her eyes, crossed her arms, and turned her head away. "Hmph! It's such a tiny matter. It's not enough to make me jealous!"

Si Jiao Ji: No problem. Send me the address privately, and I'll bring my little sister over tomorrow to find you.

Ill-informed Wen: Okay.

After seeing the two settle it, Jiang Qiuyi cast aside her stray thoughts and seriously reminded him, "Be more polite to the guests tomorrow. Maybe it'll help you gain followers."

"Huh?" Chen Wen was baffled. What did being more polite have to do with gaining followers?

"Come on, professional uploaders like them will definitely record anything new or interesting they come across," Jiang Qiuyi explained. "If the footage turns out well, they'll make it into a video and upload it."

"With a theme like Si Jiao Ji's little sister, plenty of his followers will definitely be interested. If you can get more screen time and make a good impression, you'll surely attract some viewers."

Chen Wen nodded. "I understand."

He did not really care whether he gained followers, but he was rather happy that someone was willing to put in the effort to imitate and make his work, even going so far as to come ask him for guidance.

After privately sending Si Jiao Ji the address and agreeing on a time, Chen Wen was forced to chat with Si Jiao Ji for a while longer.

Si Jiao Ji: My little sister likes a male classmate at school. She got his meal card and made it into a ring for him, which is why she's in such a hurry this time. Please forgive us.

Ill-informed Wen: It's fine.

Si Jiao Ji: There's something I'd like to ask your opinion on first. Tomorrow, I want to film the process for a video. Is it okay to film inside your home?

Ill-informed Wen: Don't film the exterior of the residential complex. Indoors is fine.

Si Jiao Ji: No problem! Thanks, Wen-ge!

He really was not arrogant at all, and he was easy to talk to... Chen Wen thought as he put away his phone, ended his break, and continued making the Explainer.

Jiang Qiuyi did not disturb him. She slipped back into her bedroom and privately messaged Si Jiao Ji on WeChat.

Qiuqiu yiyi: Let me tell you something in advance.

Si Jiao Ji: What is it?

Qiuqiu yiyi: Gu Wen has a pretty straightforward personality, and he doesn't talk much. He's not good at socializing, so please bear with him tomorrow.

Si Jiao Ji: It's fine. I'm the one troubling him in the first place.

Qiuqiu yiyi: Oh, right, I'd never heard that you had a little sister before. How old is she?

Si Jiao Ji: My little sister used to attend high school in Hangzhou. She only came here for university last year, so it's normal that you didn't know.

Qiuqiu yiyi: Oh, oh. Is she at Ke Da with you too?

Si Jiao Ji: No, she got into Cai Da.

Cai Da?!

Jiang Qiuyi instantly became alert.

Wasn't that the same school as Chen Wen?

But when she thought of why his little sister had made the ring in the first place—because she liked a male classmate—Jiang Qiuyi calmed down.

Si Jiao Ji would be coming tomorrow too, so there should not be any problem.

And when she thought of Chen Wen's personality, Jiang Qiuyi felt even more at ease.

If she had not made up her mind to take the initiative, Chen Wen probably would never have realized in his entire life that his childhood sweetheart had liked him since they were little.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qiuyi sighed and continued replying.

Qiuqiu yiyi: Gu Wen is also at Cai Da. He's a junior this year, so he counts as your little sister's upperclassman.

Si Jiao Ji: What a coincidence. I thought he went to some kind of science or engineering university.

Qiuqiu yiyi: Anyway, if anything he says tomorrow offends you, I'll apologize on his behalf first.

Si Jiao Ji: You're being too polite. Giving me such an advance warning... you two don't have some kind of relationship, do you?

Qiuqiu yiyi: (Goodbye.JPG)

[Pu Jie Ri Ji]: Mom dragged me off to move furniture today, and now I'm completely wiped out. I haven't even eaten dinner yet, so this is probably the only update. I thought I could save up some chapters before school started, but I can't even manage normal updates. I was already writing the opening cautiously, so I couldn't speed it up. Now it really feels like three updates every two days... It honestly seems more convenient to write in the dorm after school starts, where I won't get dragged off to do manual labor...

[Special Theater]: I should do a little extra scene. I'll see whether I have time tonight; if not, I'll make it up later.
