[What's it like to be friends or relatives with a celebrity? Can anyone share?]
1L: Wahhh, why can't my family and friends be a bit more wannabe? I want to see what celebrities are like in their daily lives too.
2L (x): Eh? The magic of algorithms found me, huh. Well, guess I'll share a bit. My younger brother is a pretty famous alpha actor. A lot of you must have seen his movies.
3L: ? Someone's really sharing?
4L: I'm ready to hear all the bragging. Excited!
5L (x): I feel that my brother is pretty arrogant most of the time, like he considers everyone else beneath him. He's not interested in our family business, but they still consult him on major decisions. Also, he treats his omega really well.

6L: Tsk! Famous alpha actor, rich second gen, family has a company… There are only a few people like that in showbiz.
7L (LanLan's Sky): Wow (*^v^*), this post is interesting. Saved!
8L: Speaking of which, I used to be classmates with a now-popular little flower, but she must've forgotten me sobsobsob
9L: Second floor, keep going! I'm waiting for more.
10L: Second floor is figuring out how to make up the next part.
11L: My big sis is a famous film empress in showbiz. As her baby brother, I often… *&%￥#￥# (Unlock the rest of the story for ￥9.99 membership fee).
12L: ??? Did a web novel author just show up?
13L (LanLan's Sky): 11th floor, that intro is no good. It's not attractive.
14L (LanLan's Sky): Pay me 50 and I'll teach you how to write a good one.
15L: Tsk, is there any real gossip in this thread? I seriously doubt it.
…...
111L (x): Ah, I'm back. Had a meeting just now. wipes sweat.jpg almost lost this post.
112L: !!! Keep going! Tell us more about what that alpha actor's like behind the scenes.
113L (x): Just, my brother treats his omega super well, giving him whatever he wants, that kind of thing. His omega's also in the entertainment industry. That's all I'm gonna say, y'all decode the rest.
114L (x): Okay, one more titbit. They got together while filming.
115L: Feels like it's the couple I'm thinking of.
116L (x): My brother's omega doesn't act often, but he's really good at it. Last time I saw my brother teaching him bit by bit, and I was shocked. That was the first time I'd ever seen my brother that focused. His omega often whispers to him until he blushes. Anyway, they're completely different in private compared to how they act in front of the camera.
117L: Wow, which sweet couple is this?
118L: Why does this sound so much like Xie Wang and Lin Jianlu? Did I guess right?
119L: No way! Lin Jianlu is icy, which is my fav type of cold beauty. How could he possibly whisper sweet nothings and make someone blush?
120L: True.
121L (LanLan's Sky): Hah.
122L (Lanlan's Sky): My roommate, I think he's a rising star in the music industry. He sings beautifully and has an incredible voice. I'm just waiting for him to hold a concert. Usually, people who meet him for the first time think he's a flower of gaoling. He is cold and doesn't like to talk. But we're super close, even going to bars together to check out hot alphas, hehe.
123L (xw): ...
124L: Hahahahaha 122L, you and your friend are so adorable!
125L: I'm jealous you get to be friends with people in showbiz.
"What are you doing?" A couple of light knocks tapped on the table.
"There's a scene that needs revising." Wei Lan adjusted his glasses. "I was looking up some information."
Yu Ran leaned down, pinching Wei Lan's chin between his thumb and forefinger, tilting his head up slightly, and kissed him.
"It's time for dinner." Yu Ran let go, his index finger lightly rubbing the omega's flushed, tender earlobe. "Let's eat first. Don't starve yourself."
"Mm, okay." Wei Lan closed his laptop. "I'm going to find the scene coach first. During the script read-through this morning, he brought up a few issues. I'll check in with him again."
He stood on one side of the table, bending over to reach for the paper script at the far end. His jacket and shirt pulled up a little with the motion, naturally revealing a part of his fair, toned waist.
Yu Ran scoffed softly, flicking the pen in his hand and pushing the script over to him.
"Thanks." Wei Lan took the script, but did not straighten up.
The alpha's hot fingers pressed against his lower back, fingertips hooking lightly into his waistband, giving a playful tug.
"Don't... I still have work to do." The omega's cheeks flushed red, his body resting against the table, afraid to move.
"I know. Go on." Yu Ran said generously.
Wei Lan hurriedly hugged his laptop and ran away.
Yu Ran watched his flustered, retreating figure, the corner of his mouth tugging into a smile.
This little screenwriter is just too cute.
After they got together, Yu Ran fell in love with his awkwardness and inexperience, and the way he'd turn bright red from even the slightest bit of closeness.
So, even Wei Lan's perfectionist quirks started to feel endearing.
Yu Ran sat down by the table, his fingertips playing with a small gift box in his pocket, which contained a custom-made bracelet he'd specially ordered.
It was Wei Lan's birthday present.
This nerd seems to have forgotten.
Meanwhile, the props master had just stuffed a mouthful of braised pork into his mouth, and before he could swallow it, he was pestered by Wei Lan.
"Teacher, about the part you asked me to change this morning - I've thought it over." Wei Lan clutched his thick script, flipping through it one by one for the man to see. "If we change it, the props can indeed be simplified, but the emotional impact of the plot will be lost, and the audience experience won't be as good."
"Don't rush to refute me." Wei Lan quickly pulled out another hefty notebook. "I found 29 cases, and I'll analyze them for you one by one."
The props master: "???"
Yu Ran, watching from a distance, couldn't help laughing.
Typically, script read-throughs are a part of the process most screenwriters are not too fond of. Whether it's the director, set designers, actors, or the camera crew — everyone offers opinions based on their own experience, suggesting changes here and there.
Most screenwriters end up feeling like they're being surrounded by the entire crew.
On their production, it was the crew who felt that they were surrounded by the one man army Wei Lan.
"Really, trust me." Wei Lan said to the props master. "Just polish a few small details, and the final cut will be absolutely stunning."
"Come on, you can do it!" Wei Lan handed over a thick stack of printed notes to the props master, then immediately dashed off to the camera crew.

"I can't change this part." He said firmly. "It has to be a snow scene - all the emotions build up to this point. Fake snow or wait for real snow, I don't care. Don't think you can slack off and make me rewrite the script."
The camera crew: "……"
Yu Ran watched for a while, then gestured for the crew to cooperate with Wei Lan before finally turning to leave.
He had to admit — ever since inviting his little boyfriend to join the production team as a screenwriter, the entire filming process had been running a whole lot smoother.

……
500L: Wow, you guys can really chat. Half an afternoon and so many replies already.
501L: I want to hear more about 122L's roommate. Where did they disappear to?
502L (LanLan's Sky): I'm back! Sorry, I'm a bit busy at work. Finally found a moment to check back.
503L: Tut, all you tea spilling folks seem super busy.
504L (LanLan's Sky): My roommate and I — let's call him L — first met in the library, haha. It was the start of the school year, and we both happened to go there to read.
505L: That's such a cliché first meeting, lol.
506L (Lanlan's Sky): Nope! We ended up sitting at the same table that day, both looking all studious. I was studying scriptwriting and he was studying music theory, until I got up to grab some water and passed behind him…
507L: And then??
508L: You really know how to build suspense.
509L: Damn it, why did I see this post at work?! Everyone's making it sound so real. I hate myself for getting hooked but I can't stop reading.
510L (Lanlan's Sky): Sorry, work got me again.
511L: How busy you must be, flashing in and out like this.
512L: Guys, do you think the celebrities themselves might see this post? Hahaha.
513L (xw): Who knows?
514L (Lanlan's Sky): Let me continue — I gotta head out for my birthday after this. So, I stood up and passed behind classmate L… and I realized he wasn't reading his textbook anymore — he was reading a novel! One of those spicy ones.
515L: Hahahaha this is way too real.
516L: Kinda curious who this is now. Sounds oddly adorable.
517L (Lanlan's Sky): I took a glance, and the writing, the phrasing, the vibe — it was absolutely top-tier! And then I realized… wasn't that the first-marriage-then-love AO sweet little fic I wrote cutting my own thigh flesh! [cutting my own thigh flesh refers to creating your own fanfiction, fan art, or original content for a niche pairing (CP) or fandom because there is not enough content available.]
518L: …Pfft, never seen someone hype up their own work like this.
519L: I'm dying of laughter.
520L (Lanlan's Sky): If someone likes to secretly hide their phone behind a textbook to read novels, how bad can they really be! And that's how we became friends.
521L (xw): wipes sweat.jpg
522L: You two are so cute.
523L: I'm different, @Lanlan's Sky, what fanfic is this? Drop the link. I need to see how good it is.
524L: Hahaha, askew building.
525L: Turns out everyone is this adorable in private.
Yu Ran was thinking about how to surprise Wei Lan for his birthday.
After considering countless ideas, he picked the safest one—
Sneak the gift into Wei Lan's backpack.
When the little nerd finds a beautifully wrapped gift box among his many textbooks, he should be moved to tears.
Yu Ran unzipped the backpack and tried to slide the box in… but it wouldn't fit.
Yu Ran: "???"
The backpack opened wide, sunlight spilling inside.
Inside Wei Lan's bag was just one… manga book.
Other than that, it was packed full of gift boxes.
Yu Ran felt like he had opened Santa's sack.
Gift Box 1, with a card: Baby, I snuck a gift in for you. My number's on the back — you know what to do. Call me.
Gift Box 2, with a card in ugly handwriting: LanLan, wahhh why aren't you talking to me lately? I got another ab muscle from training. Remember to call me!
Gift Box 3, no card, message written directly on the box: LanLan! Happy Birthday! Ditch him, pick me.
Gift Box 4, with ten cards attached: LanLan, don't kick me out of your WeChat list QAQ.
Gift Box 20, with a card and a hand-drawn sketch: You always say my eyes are pretty. So why don't you stare at me anymore?
Yu Ran: "……"

Yu Ran: "???"
His blood pressure shot up with a whoosh!
The office door swung open.
Wei Lan stood at the doorway, froze, then leaned back in a tactical retreat.
"Care to explain?" Yu Ran gritted his teeth, yanked Wei Lan inside, and kicked the door shut. "Looks like you've got quite a few alphas giving you birthday gifts? Exactly how many alphas do you know?"
Wei Lan: "……" Good question.
Yu Ran: "This whole backpack is full of gifts from other alphas, isn't it?"
"How is that possible," Wei Lan shrank his neck back. "That manga… is Lin YoYo's gift."
Yu Ran: "……"
Wei Lan: "Besides, you know I only have one alpha. You."
"There's no hurry, you can explain slowly." Yu Ran sneered.
That night, for the first time, a certain screenwriter didn't work late. The entire crew escaped his clutches and cried tears of joy.
