Chapter 488

Meimei willingly became Xu Can's housewife.

And Xu Can got up and pulled Meimei into his arms, and the two of them tumbled backward onto the sofa together.

"Ah, you're so annoying, we're about to eat, what are you doing!"

Her mouth said "annoying," but the smile on her face never stopped for a moment.

Xu Can and Meimei fooled around on the sofa for a while, then sat down at the dining table.

The watch on Meimei's wrist looked very unfamiliar.

Under the flickering of light 070, the blue dial looked especially melancholy.

"Is this a new endorsement?"

"Yeah, I think it's pretty nice. They came to me proactively for the collaboration — it's an affordable luxury brand. What do you think?"

Under the glow of the lights, it did have a touch of luxury to it.

Only the watch strap was a little rough — it didn't match the elegance of the dial.

"Did they cut corners on the strap's craftsmanship? This won't do. What people look at isn't just the dial, it's the whole piece!"

Meimei turned her watch over on her wrist and carefully inspected it.

"I'm not sure about that either — after all, I don't really know watches. How about I just back out of this endorsement, so nothing else goes wrong!"

"No need, I was only making a small suggestion. When the contract's up, just don't renew with them."

Sparse, scattered sounds kept going off.

Xu Can rubbed his sleepy eyes, and the moment he opened them, he suddenly felt the world outside the window was dazzlingly white.

He gently moved the hand that was lying across him aside.

He carefully lifted the blanket, then tucked it back in around her.

Through a gap in the curtain, he (cbei) saw a white, hazy world outside!

Xu Can's pupils widened in shock.

In such a warm spring, it had actually snowed.

It really was a wondrous sight.

Outside was a vast expanse of white, and a few small footprints in the snow looked especially full of life.

Only this snow had fallen all night long — it really was a bit thick.

He turned on the TV, which was just then broadcasting on this sudden snowscape.

"Snow accumulation in the city has already reached 5 centimeters today. All citizens please arrange your travel accordingly. Students are to suspend classes, and company employees are advised to work from home!"

Xu Can stretched lazily and, out of habit, walked over to the bar counter.

The coffee machine's extraction perked him up a bit.

After washing up, he made himself a cup of espresso.

Let today begin with a cup of coffee.

Slipping into a comfortable set of loungewear, Xu Can headed to the study.

He didn't wake Meimei, hoping she'd get a cozy, lazy sleep on this snowy day.

Weather like this was perfect for curling up at home, dozing off by the fire.

And now Xu Can was about to begin writing the screenplay.

He was merely transcribing his past-life memories and then revising them — his brain still retained all the reviews of different films from his previous life, along with every critic's interpretation!

He could make different films even more perfect.

He opened the computer, and inspiration flowed like a spring.

His hands barely stopped moving; Xu Can's gaze stayed fixed on the screen, his eyes not shifting once.

Anyone watching from the side would surely think he was a gifted great writer.

Yet Xu Can was simply mechanically reciting the memories in his head!

When Meimei woke up, she noticed the light in Xu Can's study was on.

He must be working.

Only when he was working would Xu Can draw the curtains and turn on a single dim, yellow desk lamp.

With a cup of espresso beside him, he'd sit like that the whole day.

Meimei, out of politeness, didn't go disturb him either.

That was the unspoken understanding between them!

After a whole morning of writing, the film "Lucy" had been fully laid out.

It opened with a bang.

Right from the start, she was a naive, sweet-nothing character — anyone watching couldn't help but get annoyed.

To draw out sympathy and resonance, that naive sweet girl had to be made even more pitiful.

And so she became a sacrifice.

From there, the story surged to its climax — she unexpectedly turned into a superwoman!

The Xucanye Society would also revise all the flaws from the previous life.

The ending would gradually elevate.

This film had to be performed by Scarlett Johansson — a movie entirely centered on her as the lead.

In his previous life, this film had drawn elements from multiple foreign movies, becoming overly convoluted, extremely unbalanced — a mishmash of special effects and gratuitous violence!

The Xu Can Society would cleverly sidestep every shortcoming and make the entire film flawless!

Scarlett Johansson would certainly find a role like this second nature, while Xu Can was responsible for keeping the entire screenplay's logic coherent, making the whole plot more imaginative!

Only now, with the blizzard outside, he couldn't privately arrange a meeting with Scarlett.

But Scarlett Johansson was clearly already unable to wait any longer.

A video call popped up.

Xu Can looked at the empty coffee beside him.

He wasn't in a hurry to answer the call; he stood up and walked toward the door.

Seeing that Mei Mei was resting in the room, Xu Can poured himself—his ex-wife—a cup of coffee.

He took a slow sip.

The rich aroma of the coffee swept through his mind, and he became clear-headed once more.

He sat back down in front of the computer and opened the video call.

The beauty's face appeared across the entire screen, but she looked exceptionally anxious.

"While things are like this now, can you announce my movie as soon as possible? My popularity is dropping lower and lower, we can't keep going on like this!"

"Especially with the blizzard now, everyone's attention to entertainment news will definitely be even higher—only this way can we help promote our movie!"

Xu Can set down his coffee cup. "The movie script is finished. I'll send it to you to take a look!"

Ding!

The other party received the file very quickly.

Sister Widow's expression also shifted from the earlier panic to sheer delight.

He said anxiously to the screen, "Such a great script, and you finished it in just one morning? I originally only asked you to get the theme out through the news—I never expected the entire script would already be done!"

Where on earth could one find a genius like this?

Being together with Xu Can was the most correct decision she had ever made in her life!.
