Ling Chunann instructed 098 to upload the song to the website, then turned off his computer, dispelled the illusion, stretched lazily, and jumped into bed.
Initially, Ling Chunann started live streaming on a whim, thinking occasional appearances were enough and seeing no need to sign a contract with any platform. He believed that in this world, where the entertainment industry was interconnected, live streaming platforms had certain restrictions on copyright, and to become a leading figure in music, one should not restrict oneself to a single place.
"098, look up the situation of entertainment companies in this world."
"Yes, host."
The cultural development of this world was barely acceptable, but it was too limited, much like a future literary world Ling Chunann had previously experienced, where the focus of the entertainment industry was on film and television. The music scene was somewhat lagging, which is why the protagonist, after acquiring the system, could make a splash in the music industry.
After analyzing the information about this world, Ling Chunann reviewed the data on entertainment companies provided by 098, eventually focusing on Star Emperor Entertainment, ranked second.
In the original story, the male lead was contracted with Chen Guang Records, the top record company, so the initial plot revolved around it. Later, the male lead established his own company, and the narrative focused on it. Near the end, the already rising male lead faced off against the world's top entertainment company, using the system and underhanded tactics to dethrone it, becoming the dominant force in the world entertainment industry.
Throughout, the discreet second-place Star Emperor Entertainment was never mentioned, and according to the information from 098, there was more to it than met the eye.
Deciding to check it out in a few days, Ling Chunann turned over and fell asleep.
098, seeing Ling Chunann asleep, didn't disturb him further, though it wanted to inform him that the master was right outside the door.
Qin Muhuo stood outside his new neighbor's door, hesitating to ring the bell several times.
Since leaving the live stream earlier, he had been standing there. On a whim, he had opened the live streaming platform and seen the girl singing, instinctively feeling it was the owner of the car he saw that afternoon.
After waiting a bit longer and seeing the lights in the house go out, Qin Muhuo left with some regret, deciding to visit the next day.
Early the next morning, before Ling Chunann could get out of bed, the doorbell rang. Without moving, he waited for the second ring before lazily saying, "098, open the door."
Ling Chunann didn't hire any servants, but his home was equipped with electronic locks, making it convenient for 098 to open the door.
Observing the man outside through the surveillance, 098 opened the door and imitated a mechanical voice to invite him in.
Qin Muhuo, dressed formally for a visit, was surprised when the door suddenly opened but entered upon hearing the invitation, carefully straightening his collar.
After Qin Muhuo entered, the door closed behind him automatically. He looked back briefly before heading towards the yard.
The front yard, designed by the developer, had its fountain replaced by Ling Chunann with rose bushes. Although not in bloom, the garden was well-maintained, presenting an elegant and unique appearance.
Following the path to the main house, Qin Muhuo found the door also opened automatically as he approached, raising an eyebrow in interest before entering, with the door closing behind him.
An ordinary person might have thought the house was haunted, but Qin Muhuo was no ordinary man. Seeing no one in the living room, he chose a sofa and sat down to wait.
"Host, the gentleman has entered the living room. Are you getting up?" 098 asked.
"If he wants to come up, let him. 098, don't disturb my sleep," Ling Chunann replied. He had hardly slept in the past few days and needed to catch up on rest.
As a result, Qin Muhuo waited in the living room for quite some time without meeting the house's owner. Under normal circumstances, making him wait would have had consequences, but today he found himself unusually patient.
098 was slightly disappointed, hoping to see the master's reaction upon realizing Ling Chunann was a boy.
After all, both yesterday afternoon and evening, Ling Chunann had been in female attire, and Qin Muhuo had only seen his feminine appearance. 098 eagerly awaited the master's surprised expression.
Being a good host, Ling Chunann decided to fulfill 098's small wish, even though he hadn't heard its thoughts.
Waking up close to noon, more than four hours after Qin Muhuo's arrival, Ling Chunann got ready and remembered he had a visitor. He straightened his somewhat long shirt sleeves and descended the stairs in slippers.
Hearing footsteps, Qin Muhuo stood up quickly, instinctively smiling when he
saw Ling Chunann descend, "Dar...hello."
His greeting was natural, without the surprise 098 had anticipated. Following this, 098 admired, acknowledging that regardless of Ling Chunann's appearance, the master recognized him.
Ling Chunann nodded, "Hello, sorry to keep you waiting."
Before they could speak, Ling Chunann was handed a cup of warm water. He thanked Qin Muhuo after taking a sip.
"I'm Qin Muhuo, owner of the house at number 12 next door. I hope my visit isn't too intrusive."
"I'm Su Su," Ling Chunann replied. "Have you had lunch, Mr. Qin? If not, would you join me?"
098 noted its host's feigned ignorance, but Qin Muhuo seemed genuinely pleased by the invitation, "I can cook a bit. If Mr. Su doesn't mind, I'd like to offer my culinary skills."
"Then, please, the kitchen is this way," Ling Chunann responded, directing Qin Muhuo to the kitchen.
Granted permission, Qin Muhuo naturally took off his formal coat, hung it up, and headed to the kitchen.
098, observing Qin Muhuo's departure, realized why Ling Chunann had bought groceries the day before.
Actually, Ling Chunann probably didn't expect a visitor; it was just a coincidence... maybe.
Ignoring 098's speculations, Ling Chunann turned on the TV, lazily lounging on the sofa. The screen showed an entertainment program, with rehearsed guests and audience laughing on cue. After watching for a few minutes and yawning, Ling Chunann decided to close his eyes and continue sleeping.
Qin Muhuo came out once to lower the TV volume, then carefully covered Ling Chunann with a blanket before returning to the kitchen.
Ling Chunann, not yet asleep, noticed Qin Muhuo's actions but didn't bother moving, letting him be.
After about half an hour, Qin Muhuo emerged from the kitchen, checking for any lingering cooking smells before approaching Ling Chunann and gently tapping his shoulder, "Darling, darling?"
Deep in sleep, Ling Chunann, disturbed by the voice, instinctively bit Qin Muhuo's arm, revealing his intense hunger.
Qin Muhuo, rather than withdrawing, caressed Ling Chunann's head, puzzled by his own familiarity with the gesture, as if he had done it countless times without any memory of it.
However, his confusion was short-lived.
Unusually, Ling Chunann stopped biting after a few moments, cleaned the bite wound, and frowned, "It's not healing."
"What?" Qin Muhuo didn't hear clearly, "Darling, if you like, feel free to bite."
Facing Qin Muhuo's sincerity, Ling Chunann sat up and pulled him onto the sofa.
Qin Muhuo wanted to speak, but seeing Ling Chunann's stern face, he hesitated.
Ling Chunann examined Qin Muhuo from heart to abdomen with concentrated energy but found no issues, becoming frustrated. He then kissed Qin Muhuo abruptly.
098 was surprised, having expected Ling Chunann to be distant for a while before allowing closeness, but Ling Chunann was unexpectedly affectionate.
Qin Muhuo was stunned at first but quickly composed himself, remaining still during the kiss and feeling somewhat lost when Ling Chunann pulled away.
Ling Chunann was upset. If not for Qin Muhuo's confused look, he would have wanted to hit him right then. He had never imagined Qin Muhuo would use his own life force for a sacrifice, risking Ling Chunann's life span in this world to not exceed forty years.
Angry, Ling Chunann jumped up and pointed towards the door, "Leave, now!"
"I'm sorry, darling, I was wrong," Qin Muhuo apologized, panicking.
"Where did you go wrong?" Ling Chunann asked, lifting an eyebrow.
Faced with Ling Chunann's gaze, the usually dominant business magnate became flustered, "I..."
