On the first day of the New Year, netizens were relatively free and paid a lot of attention to the matter of "popular young actress Luna Durant confessing backstage at the Spring Festival Gala". Among them, some wistfully remarked: Amid the terrifying monopoly of Zero on trending searches, the entertainment industry finally started to shine. The implication being: Trending topics are finally not just the domain of Zero anymore! At the moment of making such remarks, they clearly forgot that not long ago there was still a group of "Double Zero (Pedro)" CP fans online, speculating an unspeakable relationship between Zero and one of the parties involved, Pedro Langley. And indeed, on the first day of the new year, Zero timely posted to support Pedro Langley, instantly causing an uproar across the internet. [Tell me this is just pure camaraderie without any impure relationship with Pedro Langley!] [Is the protagonist unable to sit still anymore, about to go public?] [It’s you again! It’s you again! It’s you again! See you on the trending list!] [Hahahahaha, xswl, those who were musing finally without Zero please come out, God Z is involved again, oh no!] [Strong backing! CP fans, sugar is here, sugar is here!] [For my God Z speaking up, I have to support Mr. Langley. By the way, during this festive season, is Mr. Langley being attacked by Luna Durant’s fans considered a disaster out of nowhere? So pitiful!] Originally, the fans and Luna Durant’s supporters were already in a heated argument, and now with the top-tier non-entertainment figure Zero getting involved, a mysterious third-party force joined, making the internet feel like a complete mess. The tricky part was, not long ago, there’d been the incident where "three companies, Fernwood Entertainment, Cool Ridge Media, and Victor Technology, jointly recommended ’Little White Dove’", which had garnered a lot of goodwill from Zero fans, and they had an extremely high opinion of the handsome and scandal-free CEO Pedro Langley. Once Zero spoke up, his fans naturally spoke in favor of Pedro Langley. The stalemate, with Zero fans joining in, was instantly broken. However, Zero also successfully attracted a wave of criticism — mainly from Luna Durant’s fans. Nevertheless, Nora Scott, who originally wanted to oppose Luna Durant, naturally paid no mind to those jumping about black fans. "Sis, I’m heading back now!" Oliver Scott pushed open the door, poked his head in, and said goodbye to Nora Scott. His expression was a little nervous. He originally planned to leave as soon as the sky was light. On the first day of the New Year, breakfast is eaten a little later, and there was plenty of time. Unexpectedly, after partying all night, he slept through the alarm and directly missed the Scott family’s breakfast time. "Have something to eat before you leave," Nora Scott put away her phone and said calmly, "I’ve told your dad he’ll cover for you." Oliver Scott was stunned, overjoyed. "Yes." Seeing the red envelopes on the sofa, Nora Scott said, "Call Marcus Shaw over." Oliver Scott retracted his head back out. As soon as he left, Nora Scott picked up all the red envelopes on the sofa. Five red envelopes, one for everyone. The one she picked out alone was the thinnest. Nora Scott opened the red envelope and took out the contents — two tickets to an electronic music festival. Nora Scott distributed two sets of red envelopes; she prepared one set, and Pedro Langley prepared the other. Aside from Marcus Shaw and Oliver Scott, who were minors, even Laura Collins and Antonio Easton didn’t miss out. Laura Collins, who hadn’t received red envelopes in years, ended up getting two at once and didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. After eating, Nora Scott took Oliver Scott home, secretly covered by Ernesto Scott, and neither Alma Ferreira nor Sophie Scott noticed, allowing Oliver Scott to pass without a hitch. After sending off Oliver Scott, Nora Scott went to Virtue Retreat, delivering a red envelope to the working staff as thanks for their care over the past year, and only then did she drive back to the alley. As soon as she entered the door, she heard the call of Rose. Upon looking closer, she found there was a guest at home — Henry Chapman. Thanks to his high national recognition, Henry Chapman’s face was too noticeable, so he habitually wore a hat, sometimes a baseball cap, sometimes a hoodie, and dressed very low-key, in cool tones. Even inside, he didn’t take off the hood; his all-black outfit gave off a slightly gloomy vibe, sitting on the sofa playing with the cat, giving a sense of incongruence hard to describe. "What brings you here?" Nora Scott asked, changing shoes at the entrance. This cat person, taking videos and photos of the cat daily wasn’t enough, he even came here to see the cat on the first day of the New Year. Having fed Rose a piece of sausage snack, Henry Chapman finally looked up, giving Nora Scott a proper look, suddenly asked: "Is the daughter Ernesto Scott recently acknowledged back, you?" "Yes." Nora Scott nodded slightly, asking, "Why?" Henry Chapman casually replied. After a slight pause, he asked again: "Are you going back to the Scott family in a few days?" "Not sure." Nora Scott sat down, crossed her legs, and with a grin, asked, "If you have something to say, just say it." "My mom wants me to visit the Scott family." Henry Chapman directly said: "Their topics are too boring. It’s better to have someone to talk to." Understanding, Nora Scott straightforwardly said: "Oh. When you go, let me know." Henry Chapman’s tightly furrowed brow finally eased a bit. He wasn’t familiar with the Scott family, but his mother had contacts with Alma Ferreira, and they had a decent relationship. As he was often outside, only returning home during the New Year, with little social interaction, at this time, his mother was always eager to expand his social circles, with gatherings, visits, and the like. This time, there seemed to be a hint of "matchmaking". Upon learning casually that Nora Scott was the newly acknowledged daughter from the Scott family, he thought... well, it’s at times like these that friends come in handy. "How’s the script I gave you?" After finalizing their discussion, Henry Chapman inquired about another issue. Thinking of the script he gave, Nora Scott pondered for a moment and asked, "Can I choose any role?" "The second female lead, the one who’s psychotic." Henry Chapman glanced at her strangely and asked, "Are you sure?" Nora squinted slightly, "Do you think I’ll mess it up?" Reaching out to stroke Rose’s cat, Henry responded expressionlessly, "No." "You’d basically be playing yourself." Nora felt like hitting him. Perhaps seeing a bit of fire in Nora’s eyes, Henry paused, added, "She’s not psychotic." Nora: "..." Well, thanks for the save. "Have the other actors been confirmed?" "If you choose the second female lead, the director will probably have Luna Durant play the first female lead." Encountering this name for the second time in a day, Nora raised her eyebrows. "Luna Durant," Henry said casually, "Her acting is alright." Nora squinted, "How does my acting compare to hers?" Henry didn’t speak immediately, his gaze carried a hint of sympathy and pity. After a moment, he said, "You’ve got a chance." Self-inflicted humiliation. Normally, if her acting was questioned, Nora would just let it go. But this time, involving Luna Durant... Nora felt a bit sore, not quite pleased. "Within half a year, teach me how to bring this character to life..." Uncrossing her legs, Nora leaned slightly forward, getting closer to him, and casually threw out the condition, "Every kind of barbecue place nationwide, any technique, any secret recipe, I’ll find for you, how’s that?" The condition was truly tempting, and Henry fell into her trap without a second thought. Henry wants to open a barbecue shop. He’s had this idea for three years. Traveling everywhere for barbecue was laying the groundwork. Now, with Nora’s connections offered up voluntarily... he couldn’t refuse. Nora curled her lips, smiling with satisfaction. Henry focused on petting the cat. Although puzzled by Nora’s earnestness in acting, he didn’t care much. He’s always indifferent to these things. Footsteps sounded from outside. It was Marcus Shaw and Laura Collins returning from the shadow play. Laura entered first, and seeing Nora back, she was about to greet her when she noticed another figure on the sofa and naturally froze. After a while, Laura rubbed her temple, confirmed she wasn’t seeing things, and looked at Nora blankly, asking, "Nora, can you tell me why there’s a projection of Henry Chapman in your house?" Quite a vivid imagination, little sis. Hearing the voice, Henry looked up, stared at Laura, frowned and then relaxed, saying sternly, "I’m not a projection." Seconds later, Laura turned and left the room again. Mysteriously retracting his gaze, Henry curiously asked Nora, "What’s wrong with her?" Nora peeled two peanuts, tilted her chin slightly, opened her mouth, tossing them both in as she spoke nonchalantly, "She’s gone to wallow in solitude." Henry responded woodenly. Marcus Shaw entered afterwards, hearing their conversation, and looked at them silently. — To this day, he couldn’t connect the versatile screen image of Henry Chapman with the cat-loving Henry Chapman visiting the house. There’s no denying, a true actor is indeed remarkable. A thought crossed Marcus’s mind, as he remembered Nora is also an actor... If Henry and Nora’s relationship were public, then, "How are they friends?" would probably become one of the entertainment circle’s top ten unexplained mysteries. The day was turning to evening, Marcus went to the kitchen to cook out of habit. Nora, bored, flipped through her phone. Unexpectedly, she came across follow-up news on today’s hot topic. #Luna Durant Comments# #Luna Durant Follows Zero# #Pedro Langley’s Dating Partner# A string of trending topics dazzled the eyes.
