Chapter 92

Seeing this situation, Hong Jinbao quickly changed the subject, saying, "I think Ah Cheng looks more elegant when he plays the piano, especially refined! What do you think?"

Zheng Shaoqiu also nodded and said, "That's true!"

Zhou Gui smiled and said, "Young Master Cheng, why don't you play one for us!"

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "Let's have our little genius play first. Zhou Xiaomin, dare you go up and play for your older brothers and sisters! Play your best 'Merry Christmas'!"

Seeing so many people looking at her, Zhou Huimin was actually a bit nervous. However, when everyone clapped for her and Zhao Yazhi and others cheered her on, she stubbornly nodded, mustered her courage, and sat down at the piano.

Of course, such a song, though not very original, seemed particularly precious when played by a nine-year-old girl.

After the song, everyone clapped. Although there were a few mistakes and some notes were wrong, not many people could tell, except for those who specialized in music.

Therefore, everyone was not stingy with their applause for such a little girl, to encourage her!

Zhang Guorong clapped and said with a smile, "Young Master Cheng, where did you find this little one? Are you thinking of training her to pursue a career in music? Isn't she too young?"

Wu Cheng smiled and said, "She is Aunt Chen's daughter. She is learning the piano from me now. After she goes to middle school, I will send her to Old Huang and Old Gu to learn more. As for whether she will pursue a career in music, it will be up to her future choice. A person can only choose their own path; others cannot force them. After all, a forced melon is not sweet!"

As Wu Cheng spoke, he deliberately glanced at Zheng Shaoqiu, leaving Zheng Shaoqiu speechless. In the end, he could only laugh bitterly in his heart, feeling a bit strange, as if Wu Cheng were a fortune-teller.

After that, Wu Cheng went up to perform, but no one played a new piece. Instead, he played "Croatian Rhapsody," which was now called "Fantasy Night Rhapsody."

As soon as Zhang Guorong heard the prelude, he spontaneously started singing and collaborated with Wu Cheng.

Most people were confused and had no idea what these two were singing.

However, this did liven up the atmosphere. The group laughed and joked, completely lacking the awareness of being celebrities, with all sorts of complaints and criticisms.

After the meal, Hong Jinbao and Sheng Long invited everyone to continue the fun at a nightclub, but Deng Lin and the two women refused. Zhang Guorong, who had a sudden urge to play mahjong, stayed to play.

Seeing Lin Qingxia and Deng Li sitting at the mahjong table, Wu Cheng quickly left to avoid being caught in the middle, which could end up badly.

So he went to the study to write his novel. He hadn't written for over ten days, and the backlog was probably running low. The entire "Zhu Xian" was about 1.6 million words in the online version. Wu Cheng was indeed copying the online version.

The story had been serialized in the "Urban Entertainment News" for over a month, and it had progressed to the third volume, after the Seven Pulse Martial Arts Competition, where the protagonist Zhang Xiaofan went down the mountain to train, fell into the Dead Spirit Abyss with the female lead Xueqi, and then suffered with the other female lead Biyao in a secret cave.

Next was the part where they escaped the Dead Spirit Abyss and went to a small town to eliminate the fox demon.

Many readers, upon reaching this part, were already on edge because they could see that the evil Biyao had developed feelings for the male lead, but the male and female leads belonged to opposing factions, which could not coexist. Their future... no one was optimistic, and their hearts were in turmoil!

From the letters readers sent to the newspaper, it was clear that the readers of this period, like those of the future, had fragile hearts.

Some readers had already seen that the ending between Zhang Xiaofan and Biyao would not be good and even begged the author Wu Cheng not to kill the female lead.

When Wu Cheng saw these letters, he couldn't help but sigh. These readers were really very imaginative, how did they guess this ending!

Whether to kill Biyao... that was definitely necessary! The original author wasn't him, and if he changed the ending... it wouldn't become a classic. Hadn't someone said that classics are always tragic?

Of course, the original author ultimately gave everyone an open-ended conclusion. Those who believed she didn't die, she wouldn't die; those who believed she did die, she would die.

Wu Cheng felt there was no need to change this, so he just copied it.

Working until midnight, the mahjong sounds were still coming from downstairs. Wu Cheng went out to check on the girls, and found that they had all fallen asleep.

Downstairs, five people were still awake. Mi Xue had left halfway through, and the one who took over was Zhong Zuhong. Wu Cheng was speechless; this girl was beyond saving!

However, seeing Deng Lijun and Lin Qingxia yawn occasionally, Wu Cheng knew they wouldn't last much longer. He didn't say much and went back to the study to continue working.

Soon, Zhao Yazhi brought in some late-night snacks. Seeing Wu Cheng still writing, she said, "Finish the snacks and go to bed! Don't exhaust yourself!"

After she put down the snacks, Wu Cheng hugged her and placed her on his lap, holding her slender waist and smiling, "You know my condition, no need to worry! But you, how many days off did you get from TVB? 'Book and Sword' is so popular now, they must be in a rush! How long do you think it will take to finish?"

"It's already broadcast to over sixty episodes. It should be finished next month!" She said, pushing away his hand that was playing with her waist, scolding, "If you keep this up, I won't talk to you!"

"I haven't seen you for so long, I miss you!" Wu Cheng buried his head in her chest, breathing in her scent, feeling a bit distracted, "Sister Ya, let's sleep together tonight!"

"Don't even think about it!" Zhao Yazhi held his head and pushed him away.

Wu Cheng smiled, let go of Zhao Yazhi, and started eating the snacks, then continued writing.

Around 1 AM, Wu Cheng finally finished writing the part about the demon extermination in the small town in the fourth volume. He stretched, got up, and walked out of the room. The villa was already dark, and the five people who had been playing mahjong in the living room had all gone to bed. Wu Cheng headed toward Zhao Yazhi's bedroom.

Outside the door, Wu Cheng pressed his ear to the door and heard no sound inside.

Although the room had good soundproofing, with Wu Cheng's sensitive hearing, if there were any sounds, they wouldn't escape his ears.

It was clear that Zhao Yazhi had fallen asleep. He turned the doorknob and found it wasn't locked. Wu Cheng smiled to himself, thinking that Sister Ya must still care about him!

Opening the door, Wu Cheng tiptoed toward the bed and found that there were not just Zhao Yazhi but three figures on the bed.

Wu Cheng thought, it seems Deng Lijun and Lin Qingxia also came to sleep with her.

Thinking about the possibility of being surrounded by women, Wu Cheng's heart was immediately on fire. He rubbed his hands, grinned wickedly, kicked off his slippers, took off his clothes, and climbed into bed in his underwear... but as soon as he lay down, the lights in the room turned on.

"Hehehe... Ya, see! I told you, this little rascal's awareness isn't that high!"

Lin Qingxia said this, Deng Lijun turned on the light, and Zhao Yazhi was lying next to Wu Cheng. At this moment, Zhao Yazhi was looking at him speechlessly, feeling very embarrassed!

Wu Cheng's lips twitched, but he lay down with a thick-skinned smile, holding Zhao Yazhi's waist and said, "What are you doing? It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?"

"Little rascal, your face is too thick! Get out now!"

Lin Qingxia, lying in the middle, looked at Wu Cheng speechlessly, though she was smiling, there was a hint of jealousy.

"Why should I go out? It's so late, why aren't you sleeping?" Wu Cheng pouted and then looked at Deng Lijun, saying, "Sister Jun, turn off the light and go to sleep, it's so late!"

"How can we sleep with you like this?" Zhao Yazhi pinched his ribs and said.

"Just sleep normally! We've slept together before, what's the big deal?" Wu Cheng crawled into the bed, not planning to leave, hugged Zhao Yazhi, turned over, and came between the three women, then reached out to hug Lin Qingxia, turned over again, and had Lin Qingxia lying on top of him, with Deng and Zhao lying on either side, "Hmm, I'm so sleepy! Let's sleep!"

The three women looked at each other speechlessly. Lin Qingxia, feeling a bit embarrassed, said, "How can I sleep like this?"

"Just sleep normally! We've done it before!"

"That was when we were drunk. Now we're not drunk, I can't sleep lying down!"

"Then you lie down, and I'll lie on top?"

"Pervert, get lost!"

At this moment, Deng Lijun, wearing a nightgown, got up and said, "You two keep playing! I'm going to rest!"

Seeing this, Lin Qingxia also got up and said, "I won't disturb you two, I'm going to rest too, Sister Jun, wait for me!"

The two women left tactfully, giving Wu Cheng and Zhao Yazhi some private space. Zhao Yazhi and Wu Cheng hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they definitely had a lot to talk about. They wanted to keep Wu Cheng to themselves, but if they were in Zhao Yazhi's position, they would also feel uncomfortable.

So, they had to endure a bit of discomfort!

After the two women left, Zhao Yazhi glared at Wu Cheng, a bit embarrassed and angry, "You... I don't know what to say to you. Do you really think I won't be angry?"

Wu Cheng put on a pleading smile, dimmed the bedside lamp, lay down next to Zhao Yazhi, and pulled her into his arms, giving her a light kiss on the lips, whispering, "Sister Ya, I'm sorry! But I love you!"

Hearing Wu Cheng say "I love you," Zhao Yazhi immediately lost her temper, but she was annoyed with her own weakness, wondering why she couldn't bring herself to leave this scoundrel!
