Chapter 46

Gradually, the night deepened, and it was already past ten o'clock. It wasn't really late, but everyone had been playing for more than three hours, and they had shooting schedules for the next day, so they all dispersed early.

Li Zhengxi returned to his room, washed up, and habitually took out his computer. At the same time, he also activated the Devil Entertainment System in his mind.

The computer was mainly used to read news, not just entertainment news, but also various political and economic news. Then, he would browse various forums, and finally, he returned to the "My Sassy Girl" section of the Naver forum.

Today, he had decided to post the ending he had thought of, bringing the novel to a temporary conclusion. However, this was just a novel, and it would be the starting point for a movie.

"Two years later, Kyeon-woo came to the tree where he and Myung-hee had made their promise. However, he waited all day and didn't see her. Then, he waited for two days, three days... Finally, he couldn't wait any longer. He opened the jar buried under the tree, read the letter, and finally understood everything.

In the letter, Myung-hee wrote, 'Kyeon-woo, thank you for the happy days we spent together. I also want to apologize to you.

Do you remember the day I first got drunk and met you? Actually, it was because I had just broken up with someone. After a few encounters, to escape the pain of the breakup, I tried to date you... Do you remember the things I asked you to do? They were all things I had done with that person before. Clearly, I still couldn't forget him.

However, what confused and frightened me was that I seemed to be gradually falling in love with you. But I felt guilty and thought it was unfair to you... Two years later, if I could forget that person, we would meet again.

But Myung-hee didn't appear. After reading the letter, Kyeon-woo thought sadly, 'Has Myung-hee still not forgotten that person? Or maybe she has already forgotten me. But if Myung-hee were here, she would say that she really didn't mind that person, because she knew that loving him was enough...'

Kyeon-woo often went to the agreed place, but Myung-hee never appeared. Not even at her home or the familiar subway station. She remained nowhere to be found.

One day, Kyeon-woo got drunk with his friends. He stumbled to the familiar platform, his eyes blurry. At that moment, the lights of a distant train flashed brightly, and he unknowingly took a step forward, crossing the yellow warning line...

Suddenly, someone pulled him back forcefully. As he tried to break free in his daze, a familiar, clear voice scolded, 'You little brat, do you want to die?' Then, a slap landed on his face, not very painful, but it woke him up.

Looking at the beautiful face he had longed for, Kyeon-woo smiled foolishly. Despite Myung-hee's struggles and punches, he held her tightly, murmuring, 'Today, it's your turn to carry me home...'

Finally, it was over. After carefully checking and posting the final punctuation, Li Zhengxi felt a strange sense of emptiness, but also satisfaction and relief.

He smiled, slowly refreshing the post, and saw a flood of comments almost instantly, 'Zhengxi oppa, we finally got the grand finale. I'm a bit scared to read it. Is it a happy ending?'

'Zhengxi oppa, is it really over? It's touching, but also a bit sad because it's over!'

'...'

After about ten minutes, Li Zhengxi saw the fan area almost filled with comments. Many people expressed their disappointment after finishing the story. He then posted another message, 'Thank you all for your love for this story and your support. Everything has an end, but our story hasn't truly ended. If everything goes well, this story will be adapted into a script and made into a movie...'

His post caused a huge stir. What surprised him even more was that shortly after, someone claiming to be director Kwak Jae-yong sent him a private message.

'Hello, I'm director Kwak Jae-yong. I've been following your novel for a while. I want to ask if you've already decided to adapt the story into a script and make it into a movie. I mean, I have the same idea...'

Li Zhengxi was delighted. In his view, Kwak Jae-yong was undoubtedly the best director for the job.

So, he quickly replied, 'I have the script, and the funding is also in place. Since you're the director, perhaps we can talk...'

Kwak Jae-yong didn't hesitate, and they exchanged contact information and set a time to meet.

The world is truly full of wonders. Li Zhengxi sighed as he hung up the phone, then opened the Devil Entertainment System again.

This time, he didn't look at other things but directly and enthusiastically bought several TV drama scripts. Of course, they were all scripts.

"Hotelier" and "Queen Seon-deok" didn't need to be mentioned; their ratings were guaranteed. "Mother" was the first TV drama role he played in his previous life, so he knew it was a masterpiece with even better ratings than "Hotelier."

With three TV drama scripts, he still had "Blue生死恋" (Blue生死恋), "Friends," and "My Sassy Girl" unfinished, making it six scripts in total.

Even Alice was shaken. She suddenly appeared in front of him, wearing a white bathrobe. Her skin was as smooth as snow, and her chest was half-exposed. Her long, white legs were visible under the robe, and her face, slightly flushed from a bath, was alluring. Li Zhengxi's heart pounded uncontrollably.

"Are you crazy?" Alice was clearly not in the mood for flirtation, her eyes glaring at him. "Do you really want to be a screenwriter for the rest of your life?"

Li Zhengxi laughed. The angrier Alice was, the happier he felt. He shrugged, "What's wrong with that? I'm doing pretty well right now..." In fact, the angrier Alice was, the better he was doing. He originally had 13 achievement points, and after graduating with a Ph.D., he received an additional 5, making it 18.

The three scripts only cost him 6 achievement points. In the near future, "The Curse" was expected to bring him a few billion in pay, plus a loan, which would be several billion. One billion was one achievement point.

So, he had nothing to worry about. Instead, he needed to quickly establish his influence and prestige in the industry with more works, which would also bring him more achievement points. He wanted to improve his acting and singing, not just stay behind the scenes.

However, Alice clearly didn't understand his thoughts. Seeing his smug look, she was so angry she wanted to strangle him, but she couldn't.

Breathing heavily, she saw him staring at her chest, which was rising and falling dramatically, and became even angrier. She coldly snorted, "Don't think you've succeeded just because one movie worked. 'Blue生死恋' is still uncertain. Even if this one succeeds, and all the other scripts succeed, you should know this game isn't just about being a screenwriter..."

Suddenly, Alice stopped. She finally realized something and glared at Li Zhengxi, "You planned to use the scripts to open up the market, make money, expand your influence, and earn achievement points, then gradually improve your acting and singing. What a clever plan..."

Since she saw through it, Li Zhengxi had nothing to deny. However, Alice's next words made him shudder. She frowned, staring at him, "But 'Blue生死恋' was told to you by me, and 'The Curse' was a reward. You know the results of these two, but why are you so confident in choosing these three?"

He quickly opened the Devil Entertainment System and checked. Cold sweat broke out on his back as he muttered, "It's impossible. The game doesn't have a bug that allows you to secretly check that information..."

Then, she stared at Li Zhengxi, "Confess, do you know something?"

Although he was scared, Li Zhengxi tried to remain calm, even laughing lightly, "Thank you for telling me these three works are good. It seems my judgment is pretty good." Seeing her disbelieving look, he shrugged, "Even if I know something, I definitely won't tell you!"

"Hmph!" Alice snorted, her eyes darting around, scaring Li Zhengxi almost to the point of breaking down. However, at that moment, the demon disappeared again.

Then, Kim Tae-hee suddenly pushed open his door and walked in. At that moment, Li Zhengxi felt she was an angel. Although Alice would still suspect, it was better than having her stare at him.

However, the crisis with Alice was temporarily over, but Kim Tae-hee suddenly sniffed and frowned, "Who were you talking to just now?"

Oh no, Alice had appeared suddenly and was so agitated that she forgot to shield her voice and scent. Li Zhengxi inwardly groaned but remained calm, feigning confusion, "Talking to who? I was alone!"

"Who are you fooling?" Kim Tae-hee was angry, staring at him coldly, "Then tell me, whose woman's scent is in this room?" She suspected it was Son Ye-jin, but she was puzzled because she heard voices outside but saw no one when she opened the door. This was the third floor, and there was nowhere to run.

Li Zhengxi continued to argue. If it was Son Ye-jin, he could admit it, but he couldn't explain Alice, "There's no woman in this room!" Then, he stared at her, pretending to realize, "Oh, you just came in!"

"You bastard!" Unable to find any evidence, Kim Tae-hee was so angry she wanted to pinch him. Li Zhengxi caught her hand and leaned in, grinning, "Let me smell to see if it's your scent..."

This action was a bit hasty, but Kim Tae-hee couldn't resist his approach. Her face turned red, and she tried to block him, "Hey, what are you doing?"

But Li Zhengxi persisted, and through the neckline of her pajamas, he saw two soft, white, and inviting mounds, with a hint of pink...

"Hey!" Kim Tae-hee suddenly realized his head had stopped moving, turned around, and saw the situation. Her face turned bright red, and she frantically and angrily hit him, "You little brat, bastard, you actually..."

She couldn't bring herself to say the embarrassing words, and Li Zhengxi, facing the situation, decided to be straightforward. He knew her feelings and wanted her to understand his.

So, he grabbed her hand, which wasn't hitting him hard, and stared at her intensely, gently but firmly. Then, he leaned in again.

However, to his surprise, Kim Tae-hee, as if scared, froze, then pushed him away in panic and quickly stood up and ran out...
