In the case of the system,

System: Why do I feel like there's something wrong with this plot?

The Main God: Is there anyone?

System: According to the current development, shouldn't these two individuals ignite a passionate romance next?

Main God: Yes.

System: We're not going down the road of low-quality writing!

Main God: Whether it's Xiaohuangwen or Plot Stream, as long as you can raise the favorability level and complete the mission, it doesn't matter.

System: ... I didn't expect you to be such a Supreme God.

"Get out!"

"No."

"Get out!!"

"No."

"Get lost!!!"

"No."

'... '

Xu Annan was completely frustrated. This guy had indeed grown up, but what the hell has he turned into! He's even more infuriating than before. Xu Anan couldn't be bothered to say more, so he grabbed his clothes and started walking out. Just as he reached the doorway, Ye Bufan suddenly grabbed his hand, pulled him back, and pressed him against the wall.

One of the classic techniques for flirting with guys (scratch that) is the wall slam.

Ye Bufan: "There should be BGM here."

System: "..."

(Note: In English, the word "system" is used to refer to a computer or artificial intelligence voice.)

Xu Annan was slightly shorter than Ye Bufan, and as she looked straight ahead, her gaze landed perfectly on Ye Bufan's lips. Ye Bufan's lips were thin, a light shade of pink, with the corners slightly curved, forming a lingering smile that portrayed both passion and indifference.

"Tsk, the way you're looking at me, I would think you're asking for a kiss."

Xu Anan: "!!!"

He involuntarily lowered his head, but immediately thought that this was too passive. He then fiercely raised his head and glared at the troublemaker, only to find himself suddenly caught in the cheerful gaze of Ye Bufan.

Xu Anan: Give me back the normal Ye Bufan!!!

Ye Bufan looked down at his manager. In all honesty, he had never known Xu Annan had such a side to her. She dared to take him away while they were discussing the script, shouting and venting her frustrations at him, and displaying such a bashful and angry expression.

Ugh, this kid (←referring to Ye Bufan from this world) is so lucky.

He suddenly felt a bit embarrassed, averted his gaze, but did not release the restraints: "Now we should be able to talk properly."

Xu Annan: "Say, say what."

"What's on your mind? You seem a bit strange since coming back today. Did something happen?"

Xu Annan clenched her hand against the wall, while Liang Chun's words instinctively played on repeat in her mind.

I had a conversation with him at that time. He said, "Aren't you agents just using us as money-making tools? Why are you suddenly trying to play the emotional card with me?" I told him that it's not like that, that you really want to promote him, but he said...

"What did you say?"

"He said, 'What is he talking about, saying that he has the ability to make me famous? He's just a rookie manager who only gets third-rate scripts. He dares to say he can make me famous? Tsk, if I want to become famous, it's only natural to cling onto someone's coattails. It's his fault for not being able to keep my talent.'"

"What have you done, don't you know?"

Ye Bufan was taken aback. Xu Annan's eyes were as calm as the deep sea, without the slightest ripple. He felt only a heavy tranquility, as if all that remained was burnt-out ashes.

"You have always been very opinionated, and I won't interfere with the decisions you make."

That's right, this is the work principle that a manager who has been working with Ye Bufan for ten years should have.

"I made a mistake for not having the strength to keep you here."

Ye Bufan: "Ah? What are you saying?"

Xu Annan, however, lowered his head and refused to continue discussing, "I'm going to take a shower, so please leave."

Ye Bufan simply felt inexplicable. Even if he understood Xu Annan very well, there was no way he could deduce the cause and effect of the situation from these nonsensical words. It seemed like Xu Annan was deliberately playing a game of "Guess what? Guess what?" with him, which made Ye Bufan a little annoyed.

Ye Bufan: "Xiaotong, if I may, I am completely clueless about what's going on here. As an outsider, I have no idea about anything."

System: "All memories related to the original host have been bestowed, and there is nothing else to disclose."

System: Great, it seems like this won't be the typical slow-paced development of a cliche coming-of-age story.

Xu Annan pushed Ye Bufan aside and went back to the shower. He didn't mind that Ye Bufan showed no intention of leaving, he just pulled the curtain shut.

Ye Bufan hated this kind of unclear and chaotic situation the most. He was always straightforward in his personality and interactions with people. He also respected others' privacy, so most of the time, he didn't inquire too much about Xu Annan's personal matters, as long as they didn't affect their work.

However, now...

Ye Bufan rushed over and pulled back the curtain, saying, "I'm telling you, you have to explain everything to me today!"

Yexactly when Xu Annan had just taken off his pants, Ye Bufan's sudden appearance startled him. He instinctively took a step back and accidentally pressed his back against the shower switch, causing a sudden burst of cold water to drench both of them.

Ye Bufan: "......"

Xu Annan: "......"

Ye Bufan wiped his face and glanced at his drenched clothes, naturally taking them off.

Xu Anan: "What are you doing?!"

Ye Bufan nonchalantly said, "Since we're both wet, let's wash together."

Xu Annan: "......"

System: Damn it, why do I still feel a faint nostalgic sensation of "little yellow literature"!
