"I'm telling you, aren't you afraid that others will ride on your popularity?"

"Wu Fangyu said irritably."

"The hype around the drama production has always been like this. Everyone knows it, and not many people believe in it."

"Shi Zhen calmly said, handing the coffee to Wu Fangyu, 'It's still hot.'"

Wu Fangyu took it and gave it a sniff.

"You have also climbed up through hardships and setbacks, don't underestimate others."

Shizheng understood what she meant, nodded, and said, "Once work is finished, let's not talk about work anymore. I heard there is a food street nearby. Take them both there for a stroll."

The two assistants were called out by name, eagerly gazing at Wu Fangyu, the senior manager.

"Alright then, what do you want to eat? I'll get it packed for you."

Shi Zheng chuckled and said, "Those things are high in calories. I'll just stick to eating congee in the hotel."

After returning to the hotel, Shizheng took a lukewarm bath with the half-cold water. Fortunately, the central heating from the air conditioner was still functioning. Wu Fangyu had ordered him porridge before leaving, so Shizheng was sitting on the bed in his pajamas, sipping the porridge and watching TV. He didn't know what was on the TV, but he habitually kept it on, as if having some background noise would prevent it from being too quiet.

Halfway through drinking his porridge, Wu Fangyu called him to watch a Weibo post. It turned out to be a promotional video released by the popular couple, You Gu, for their ninety-nine days of love journey. The visuals and music editing were exceptionally well-done, so much so that even Shizheng, upon watching it, couldn't help but feel a tingly sensation, as if he had goosebumps. Love, it seemed, was always an enduring theme.

The official account also mentioned and tagged Shizheng. Of course, it is only natural to retweet Shizheng's post, and they even added three hearts as emoticons.

In no time, there were thousands of comments. Some came from the players of the game, while others were from my own loyal fans eagerly leaving their messages of anticipation.

"Zheng Ge's looks are truly outstanding. He can actually pull off that second-dimensional Teddy bear perm."

"I used to be a non-gamer, but because of our family's Zhengg

"From now on, the male protagonists in my novels all have concrete faces. Ahh woo woo ahh..."

"So, is it true that this game's copyrights have already been purchased for a television drama? I won't accept any man other than Zhen Ge!!!"

In the Weibo post that was shared and liked by the official account, there was a prominent big V (verified user) named "YYYYjduuu". They shared and commented, saying, "Sharing the Valentine's Day themed skin collaboration."

It turns out that the opening day of the game was set on Valentine's Day.

Perhaps it was a staff member of "Yougu Valley," as Shi Zheng entered with a curious mindset. However, she soon discovered that the Weibo profile clearly stated "Ye Jindu's secondary account."

Then, it is very easy to find Ye Jindu's Weibo account, where he is certified as the Chairman of the Yougu Corporation.

Although being alone, when Shizheng clicked on his profile, his palms seemed to sweat.

The personal information states that the age is 25.

"You're so young! Even younger than myself. Shi Zheng gently reminisced about Ye Jindu's face, examining the contours of his features and bones. They resembled well-polished jade, like porcelain displayed in a museum, carefully enveloped by temperature and air. However, unlike fragile porcelain, they possessed an indomitable spirit and resilience that one couldn't bear to gaze directly at. Despite his tender age, there was an inherent arrogance and an aura of security that could quickly win people's trust."

Shizheng didn't expect that he would use the term "sense of security" to describe a man he had only met a few times.

The content on the homepage was sparse, with only five posts after scrolling a couple of times. They were all official announcements written in short and concise language. Comparatively, the secondary account was more lively, mostly sharing game-related giveaways and benefits. Occasionally, there were accompanying images, but none of them were the user's own photos. Shi Zhen didn't know if she was purely curious or had ulterior motives, but she actually took the time to carefully read through each post. She even stumbled upon last year's charity gala, which Ye Jindu had attended. There was a photo of him with a Hong Kong actress. Shi Zhen returned to her own Weibo page, recalling that they had taken a large group photo at that event. Now thinking about it, perhaps Ye Jindu was actually in that photo. However, when she flipped to that picture, she realized that there wasn't a single face belonging to Ye Jindu. It made sense though, as the group photos on stage usually only consisted of celebrities and staff members. Someone with his status attending such an event would usually just be going through the motions.

The porridge cooled quickly, and Shizheng lost her appetite. The evening news was playing on the television, with the host's fluent and steady pace of speech resembling an undulating, deserted road, flanked on both sides by tall poplar trees. Only one car was slowly making its way through the night, and Shizheng imagined herself sitting in that car, driving forward without worries or fears, all the way until falling asleep.

It felt like suddenly falling into the vast sea below a cliff, but there was no sea breeze or icy water. Instead, there was only the scent of cedar hitting your face, along with a sense of weightlessness. On the freezing cliff, despite being oppressed by the wind and snow, it still stood proudly.

Shi Zhen woke up in this roller coaster-like suspended feeling, the mattress beneath her was soaked, the TV was still on, but it had switched to some foreign movie. As Shi Zhen got up to drink water, she also glanced at her phone, which showed it was a little past 2 a.m. She had only slept for a little over an hour, yet she was awakened by thirst.

"Perhaps the air conditioning is too dry."

As Shizheng pondered, she walked back to the edge of the bed with her weary body, only to step on a cold, hard piece of paper. Shizheng looked down and saw that it was a dropped business card lying on the floor.

He hesitated for a moment, then picked it up. As he picked it up, he caught a whiff of the scent from his dream, filled with disbelief and hesitation. Shi Zhen brought the business card close to his nose, inhaling an almost identical faint fragrance.

"——I'm not dreaming."

"But it was the scent of Ye Jindu."

This realization made him drop the business card like a hot potato, causing the water in the cup to splash out due to the tremor. Droplets landed on his back, accentuating the warmth of his skin.

Shizheng pressed her hand against her face and only then realized that her cheeks felt slightly warm.

He felt a familiar sense of dread welling up within him, and in quick strides, he made his way to the restroom. Looking at his flushed face and moistened eyes in the mirror, he reluctantly speculated that he might be going into heat.

During the fixed estrus period each month, lasting for 24-48 hours, it can be alleviated by oral or injectable suppressive medication. However, during this period, it is advisable to avoid vigorous exercise and refrain from consuming alcohol.

Shizheng pressed her cheek against the back of her hand, walked out of the bathroom, and knelt in front of the suitcase placed on the carpet. She hurriedly opened it and found the medication she had placed in a small box. To be safe, she even discarded the medication packaging, and mixed the pills with vitamins.

However, he still remembered the medical advice on the shell.

The medicinal effects will take effect after half an hour.

So he opened the plastic box and poured the white round pieces into his palm, then poured them into his mouth and swallowed them without even drinking any water.

Then, he picked up his mobile phone and checked the time displayed on it.

The air conditioner was turned off, and the room quickly cooled down. Shi Zheng sat on the carpet, leaning against the bed. With the touch of her fingers, the screen of her mobile phone would intermittently brighten and darken.

In the brief moment after taking the medicine, Shizheng felt beads of sweat forming on his forehead, soaking even his pajamas. He caught a whiff of pheromones emanating from the perspiration, reminiscent of summer peaches. However, he now felt like a whole cartful of peaches that had been smashed to a pulp on the ground, ripe and decadent.

But gradually, as the medicinal effects penetrated deeper, he felt his body temperature drop. The symptoms brought on by his heat gradually subsided, until he sensed the coldness brought about by the low temperature indoors.
