"Don't wiggle around, stay with me a little longer~" Jiang Qiuyi sat on Chen Wen's lap, editing a video.

Occasionally glancing at the subtitle "Jiang Qiuyi and Chen Wen's 12th Day of Dating" at the top of the screen, Jiang Qiuyi would flash a happy smile.

"I think the views on this video might be higher than my previous ones."

Jiang Qiuyi analyzed as she edited.

"The man in black and this song are a perfect match, and there are so many things to joke about."

"It's just that the clothes are a little too tight..."

"Haha! I've already thought of the title, Qiuqiu's first face-reveal video!"

"I'm so clever~"

Chen Wen remained silent, quietly listening to Jiang Qiuyi's self-praise and complaints. The hand Jiang Qiuyi had placed on his slender waist didn't move.

Jiang Qiuyi, having just showered, had a faint, pleasant scent on her, likely from Head & Shoulders.

However, Chen Wen was currently more concerned with when he would be able to get up.

Ever since they started dating, Jiang Qiuyi's clinginess and wilfulness had only grown more severe.

She always wished she could be glued to Chen Wen all the time.

Chen Wen, on the other hand, was still in a more rational phase. Although his male instincts caused various physical reactions, he was mostly calm.

He was nowhere near as exaggerated as Jiang Qiuyi.

"Chen Wen."

"Hm?"

"How about we create a Bilibili alt account?"

"What for?"

"No reason." Jiang Qiuyi stopped her mouse and keyboard, turned her head, and leaned against Chen Wen's shoulder. "I just want to record our daily life."

"I have no objections."

"Then I'll create it right now~"

Jiang Qiuyi acted on her impulse. She immediately opened Bilibili and created a new account. While thinking of a nickname, she tilted her head, then quickly typed on the keyboard—

"Xiao Yi and her Wood"

"The password will be both of our birthdays~" Jiang Qiuyi said gleefully. "We'll post the professional piano and handicraft videos on our main account, and the daily vlogs on the alt account~"

"Okay."

He said that, but Chen Wen felt he wouldn't be actively filming any vlogs.

He'd just do it to humour Jiang Qiuyi.

Time ticked past four o'clock. Jiang Qiuyi finally got tired of editing and got off Chen Wen's lap. She then pounced onto the bed, grabbed her phone, and logged into the alt account, fiddling with something.

Chen Wen was finally free. He picked up his camera, intending to return to his workshop to craft the hilt for Lambent Light.

"I want ice cream!" Jiang Qiuyi called out tenderly from the bed.

So, Chen Wen first got ice cream for Jiang Qiuyi before heading into his workshop to continue the work he'd left unfinished that morning.

He sketched and drew on the pre-cut rectangular oak wood. Then, Chen Wen put on the necessary protective gear and used a flame frequency amplifier to soften the oak, forming a circle.

He secured the ends with 502 glue, and the hilt for Lambent Light was preliminarily formed.

Next, just like the blade, it was time for sanding.

However, sanding a hilt made of oak would be much easier.

He sanded until almost six in the evening, when Jiang Qiuyi, who had already ordered takeout, called him out to the living room for dinner.

"What are you doing?" As soon as Chen Wen stepped out of the workshop, Jiang Qiuyi blocked his nostrils with the camera.

"Recording life~" Jiang Qiuyi lowered the camera, her face beaming with a smile. Then, she aimed the camera at Chen Wen again. "Mr. Chen Wen~ May I ask what your feelings are during this period of dating?"

"...Nothing."

Chen Wen walked into the living room and sat down, fiddling with the takeout boxes on the table. Jiang Qiuyi followed him with the camera, whining, "Just cooperate~ Do you really have no thoughts on it?"

"If I have to say something..." Chen Wen opened a takeout box and placed chopsticks for Jiang Qiuyi. "It's that you're too clingy, right?"

Jiang Qiuyi: "?"

She angrily turned off the camera and plopped down opposite Chen Wen, pouting fiercely. "I'm angry."

"Oh."

Chen Wen pushed Jiang Qiuyi's takeout towards her, showing no hint of worry on his face.

As childhood sweethearts, he had seen Jiang Qiuyi truly angry before.

People who say "I'm angry" to his face are usually not actually angry.

Especially not the current, adorable-looking Jiang Qiuyi.

Without further thought, Chen Wen took out his phone and casually browsed his Bilibili account.

The next second, he was stunned.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Chen Wen's expression change, Jiang Qiuyi immediately put aside what had just happened and asked with concern.

"Uh..." Chen Wen flipped through the pages, his tone confused. "My followers suddenly jumped to fifty thousand..."

Clicking into Si Jiao Ji's video, he realized his previous comment had become the top hot comment.

Could it be because of this that he gained nearly forty thousand followers?

That's exaggerated, right?

It only took less than an afternoon.

Before he could delve deeper into the reason, Si Jiao Ji sent him a WeChat message. At the same time, Jiang Qiuyi also received a private message from Si Jiao Ji.

Si Jiao Ji: (Image)

Si Jiao Ji: Big problem!

Si Jiao Ji: Take a look at this comment. It only came out an hour ago, and it already has over a thousand likes...

Si Jiao Ji: Should I delete it?

Chen Wen didn't rush to reply. He first opened the image—

[Ri Dangwu de Chuhe]:

"Brothers, I have an astonishing discovery, you must listen patiently!"

"Absolutely explosive!"

"Today, I am Bilibili's Conan."

"No more nonsense, let's get to the good stuff!"

"In Si Jiao Ji's video, at 00:23, he says that the music section up, Gu Wen, was introduced by Qiuqiu."

"The famous Qiuqiu in the music section, besides Qiuqiu yiyi, who else could it be? If you're unfamiliar, please do your homework."

"Now let's look at this video—XXXXXX (link)"

"This is Gu Wen's video about making the Meal Card Ring Transformation, with the title teaching you confession methods for 520. The description says the up has succeeded."

"This means Gu Wen successfully found a partner using this ring. The confession target is currently unknown, but by the time you read this, you should be able to guess something."

"This evidence alone is clearly not enough, let's keep going."

"Now let's look at this video—XXXXXX (link)"

"At 01:23, the camera switches to a right-side view. Later, at 02:11 and 03:59, it's also a right-side view."

"From this angle, you can clearly see the dark blue ring on Qiuqiu's right ring finger, exactly the same as the one Gu Wen completed."

"If you don't believe me, you can verify it yourself. The links have already been provided."

"Now, I won't make a direct conclusion. Please connect the context and answer a question."

"Question: What is the current relationship between Qiuqiu and Gu Wen?"

"Bilibili Conan is here, esteemed sirs, send me to the top!"

After reading the comment, Chen Wen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

How bored must someone be to discover such subtle connections between three completely unrelated videos?

He looked up at Jiang Qiuyi, who was looking down at her phone with a beautiful frown. He couldn't help but ask, "Si Jiao Ji sent it to you too?"

[Plot Summary]: The previous foreshadowing and setup have now been revealed~

The ring being exposed in Jiang Qiuyi's video was already a clear hint.

But this alone wasn't enough to cause much controversy.

After all, Chen Wen had few followers, so logically, the possibility of someone watching both their videos and discovering the trick was small.

I have a compulsion for logic, which is why I added the element of Si Jiao Ji's video, giving Chen Wen, who had insufficient followers, a chance for massive exposure.

Then, I also planted a trap in Si Jiao Ji's video. A reader had actually discovered it before – Si Jiao Ji filmed a segment for the intro at her villa before heading to Chen Wen's house.

I specifically wrote the line "introduced by music section up, Qiuqiu" there, which was foreshadowing for this chapter.

I've always been very serious and cautious in the early stages of a new book, not wasting extra words on filler plots. Every bit of sweetness has been carefully considered.

In fact, if I wanted to stretch it out, just the introduction to Bilibili, the recording of the piano video, the various precautions for the handicraft video, and the detailed introduction of the wood could all be expanded significantly.

Therefore, to condense this setup and foreshadowing into a mini-climax within 50,000 characters, I think I've made quite a bit of progress.

Hehehe.

Saying all this, there's actually only one meaning...

Emmm... Because I agonized over this chapter several times, the second chapter today... will be as fate dictates
