There was simply no time for that recently.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cang Hong was displeased, but there was nothing he could do.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He couldn’t actually go into debt. After all, all three of Jiang Qin’s partners were loaded.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that he’d successfully placated him, the agent sighed for the umpteenth time. ’Good,’ he thought, ’he has a weakness now...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>***\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Jiang Qin fell into a thoughtful silence as she looked at the 1,300 Game Coins she now held.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing beside her, Yuan Ling was like a child who had done something wrong, wanting to explain but not knowing how.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Jiang Qin actually understood. It was one of those games—fine if you didn’t play, but once you started, you couldn’t help but take it seriously.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Especially for someone like Yuan Ling, who seemed to have a professional’s conditioned reflexes. Making him miss on purpose would be pretty difficult.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Jiang Qin stopped deliberately picking expensive games just to burn through their Game Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took Yuan Ling to play the more childish ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Things like the sightseeing cart ride. They were time-consuming, but at least their Game Coin count started to go down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They spent the entire morning there, unable to leave the arcade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The hostile comments in the live stream chat continued, but Lan Yuyan had only paid to clear the ones on Jiang Qin’s stream, ignoring Yuan Ling’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was only generous with his money when it came to his partners and family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By noon, Jiang Qin was feeling a bit hungry. She asked Yuan Ling, \"What flavor of nutrient liquid do you like? I have all kinds.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Ling quickly refused. He took out two bento boxes and shyly handed one to her. \"Here, have this,\" he said. \"Think of it as an apology.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The food in the bento looked delicious, so Jiang Qin accepted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had lunch boxes prepared by her partners in her Space Button, too, but she figured drinking nutrient liquid was more convenient when she was out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was surprised that Yuan Ling also preferred eating a proper meal, so she didn’t hesitate to accept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them sat on a bench, holding their bento boxes and eating slowly, taking small bites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching them made the crew members and Yun Xie, who were secretly following, hungry too. The group of them downed a tube of nutrient liquid each, their faces expressionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is really good. Did you make it, or did you buy it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Ling smiled shyly. \"I made it myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since he was expelled from the academy, he hadn’t been able to find a job or get any more commissions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, he just set up his own little workshop to make small gadgets and sell them in his Star Network shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This left him with a lot of free time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cooking was one of the ways he expressed his emotions. Whenever he was in a bad mood, he would quietly prepare many exquisite bento boxes and store them in his Space Button.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Jiang Qin thought the men in this Interstellar age were truly incredible—basically omni-competent.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’You could just run into any random guy, and he’d be an amazing cook.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though she saw her own partners through rose-tinted glasses, she had to admit that Yuan Ling’s cooking was the best she’d had since arriving in the Interstellar age.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She even wanted to lick the box clean...’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After lunch, they went back to playing in the arcade. By the time they finally used up all their Game Coins, it was already two in the afternoon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin, who loved her afternoon naps, was feeling a bit drained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, they still had to head to their next date spot: the movie theater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They didn’t need to buy tickets; the show’s production team had provided them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Jiang Qin and Yuan Ling started discussing which movie to see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yuan Ling, what kind of movies do you like?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Ling didn’t really have any favorites. As far as he was concerned, all the movies currently out were boring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The main reason was, he just didn’t like watching movies to begin with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But even he wasn’t dense enough to be that blunt with a woman.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was just about to say that she should pick when he suddenly saw Jiang Qin’s name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was on a movie poster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The actors on the poster could be described as disheveled and destitute. A world-weary-looking man stood at the forefront.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Behind him stood a plainly dressed woman who still retained an elegant charm, an elderly person, and a middle-aged man in glasses who looked somewhat sickly, with dark circles under his eyes and pale lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, there was a young man leaning against a train, his hair messy and dyed blond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others all had black hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the bottom of the poster was the title: *I Am Not a God*.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then his eyes caught the credit: Screenwriter & Director: Jiang Qin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Ling pointed at the poster and asked, \"Miss Jiang, is this... a movie you wrote and directed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mhm, that’s right.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then... can we watch this one?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Qin smiled. \"Of course. Thanks for contributing to the box office.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At her words, Yuan Ling pursed his lips into a small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’It had been a long time since he’d met someone who wasn’t hostile and could just get along with him in a friendly way.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’They were like... friends.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the thought of the word \"friends,\" Yuan Ling’s smile faded slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two walked into the theater.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Yuan Ling didn’t like movies, he always paid close attention once one started, even if it was a terrible film.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected to get so drawn in, however. He became so engrossed that he even forgot Jiang Qin was sitting next to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she had already seen it many times and was feeling sleepy, Jiang Qin couldn’t help it and drowsily drifted off to sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yuan Ling finished the movie, still wanting more, he turned to see her serene, sleeping face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He had to admit, Jiang Qin was truly beautiful.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But what was most captivating was her aura. With some people, you can’t quite picture their personality, but you just feel that their appearance is exactly as it should be.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’A face like that was meant for her.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’Yuan Ling felt that his literature classes had really failed him. He wanted to praise her but couldn’t think of any of the elegant phrases from the ancients.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He wanted to recite a line or two of poetry, but he didn’t know which words would do her justice.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since filming the movie screen wasn’t allowed, their live stream camera had been black the entire time, broadcasting only silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many of the viewers had already left the live stream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the movie was long, the screen was black, and the two of them weren’t talking. It was just too boring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only the Jiang Fans remained, anxiously keeping watch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Hasn’t the movie ended? Why is it still silent?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[So worried, so worried. That punk isn’t taking advantage of our Qin Bao, is he?]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Since we can’t see anything, I’m starting to suspect they might have kissed.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I wonder if any of the fansite photographers managed to get in. Crap, I’m gonna go ask in the group chat.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beta, of course, had managed to get in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, the production team had only provided tickets, not booked the entire theater. It wasn’t just her and her companions; plenty of other moviegoers were there too.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, once the movie was over, almost everyone had left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She, however, was crouched in a blind spot, taking pictures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At first, she’d photographed Jiang Qin’s focused expression as she watched the movie. Later, she captured shots of her sleeping face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Yuan Ling quietly gazed at the sleeping Jiang Qin, she only managed to snap a few shots before stopping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’She would keep these photos for her private collection. At most, she’d send them to Jiang Qin, but she had no intention of posting them on the Star Network.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’As a photography enthusiast, that last scene was just too atmospheric; she couldn’t resist capturing it.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’But as one of Jiang Qin’s solo stans, she would never let photos like that leak out and be used to start rumors.’\u003C\u002Fp>",1464,"2026-06-05T22:55:33.682Z",1,"novelbin.me","466cae48188f5b7bfb9c6ab2a37ccf7ab5b05be3f0605abe03ee577a5d489aee","a-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-chapter-229","a-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-chapter-227",500,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fa-low-rank-female-goes-viral-across-the-galaxy-cover.jpg"]
