Savoring the marrow and knowing the flavor (Thanks to Xiao Er Mei Dan for gifting diamonds)

  I hesitantly asked, "If it's not a coincidence, could it be that the script was leaked earlier and Du Xiangyuan saw it, and based on this script, he designed that scene?" This sounds a bit hard to believe. But then Gao Cheng said, "Too crude, if a perfect plan is created from such a lousy melodrama, it would be an insult to him."

  This refers to Du Xiangyu.

  I suddenly remembered something, that day I went to Xingguang Studio to find President Jiang Yan, originally I could bring back the script, but she told me that the screenwriter had changed the plot temporarily and was revising it again. So that day I didn't get the script, I just looked for inspiration outside their rehearsal room. If I remember correctly, that was after the Wu Yan case broke out.

  Wait until I finish saying this, Gao Cheng laughed: "Indeed, it's like that. The overly deliberate imitation, using the current hot topic as a gimmick, this play should be opening soon."

  I was speechless again, because I was caught off guard by him! This stage play titled "Love in the Distance" will be performed a week later, and I have already received two VIP tickets from Jiang Yan as a private gift. The condition is that I must hand over the final illustration within two days, and then arrange to make it into a large promotional poster.

  Gao Cheng muttered: "I'm tired."

  It suddenly dawned on her that it was already very late, so she hastily got up and said: "Then hurry up and sleep." She had just taken two steps when she heard a sinister voice behind her: "Xia Zhu, you really know how to burn your bridges after crossing the river!"

  "Huh? I turned around to look at him, where did this come from?"

  "It's currently 1:45 AM Beijing time, my usual rest time is 11 PM, I've delayed it for two hours and forty-five minutes just to satisfy your numerous uninteresting questions. The human stomach's digestive function usually occurs between 10 PM and 11 PM, after that point, any new metabolic activity will consume one's own energy, do you need me to explain whether this needs to be replenished or not?"

  It took me a while to understand what he meant, I blinked: "Are you hungry?"

  His face was very smelly, his eyes seemed to be half-closed, and he grumbled in his mouth: "Hurry up, I'm both hungry and sleepy."

  I was speechless, turned around and entered the kitchen. There's nothing much to do at midnight, so I decided to cook noodles. When I carried the noodles out, I saw Gao Cheng already lying down on the sofa. I walked quietly to his side, seeing that his eyelashes were lightly covering those eyes that sometimes shone with a sharp glint, and his breathing was light, he had really fallen asleep.

  I didn't wake him up, but instead sat down at a table further away with the noodles. I had felt a bit hungry while cooking them, but since I'm not used to eating in the middle of the night, I only cooked one bowl. As I ate quietly, my gaze drifted over to him - this person who had brought me into the world of reasoning in a semi-coercive way. I felt like I was addicted to the thrill and excitement of it all, unable to tear myself away even after getting a taste of the solution. Every time one result appeared, there would be new unknowns that kept my feet moving forward.

  Taking this case as an example, logically speaking, Du Xiangyuan's suicide should have ended it all, but there was still a tail left: what did the letter marks carved by the third person under Wu Yan's desk mean? Who was this third person? What was the purpose after all?

  There's still a play next week, although I've already inferred that the playwright is pretending to be a big shot and intentionally changed the script to use popular topics to hype up the show. I don't know what others think, but I find it very awkward. Originally, I was invited by the president of the company to watch the play over the weekend, but now I'm having second thoughts. Maybe I'll just give the ticket to Xiaotong tomorrow instead.

  Daydreamed for a while and got distracted, went back to the kitchen and returned, only to be stunned.
