What To Do If The Heroine Escapes From The Book

Qiu Wuji happily skipped work and dragged Chu Ge away.

Zhu Mengmeng watched them while holding her dog, feeling as though she didn’t know if she was the one who had the dog or if she was the one who was the dog.

You guys feed me dog food and then leave me to work, wuwuwu…

“Where are we going, where are we going?” As soon as they entered the elevator of the office building, Qiu Wuji started shaking Chu Ge’s arm and asked.

Chu Ge raised her chin with a half-smile. “Before we go out to play, can you explain what ‘only daydreaming, addicted to the internet, no friends, lack of social life, and staying at home doing nothing’ means…”

Qiu Wuji immediately shrunk back, trying to explain with a smile, “That’s… what I meant was what Mengmeng said, she just changed the phrasing a bit…”

“But Mengmeng was the one praising, not you… You, Qiu Wuji, are quite good at talking behind your daddy’s back, huh?”

Qiu Wuji used a sweet voice, “So, Dad, what are we going to do today…”

Chu Ge: “…”

He was left speechless.

Once Qiuqiu started acting naughty, he didn’t know what to do…

It was broad daylight, there were security cameras in the elevator, and people were constantly going in and out. What else could he do?

He could only grit his teeth and say, “I’ll deal with you when we get home tonight.”

“Hmph.” As the elevator arrived at the ground floor, Qiu Wuji flicked her ponytail and stepped out of the door. “If you have the guts, come and get me. I’m not afraid.”

“Hey, is this little one completely letting loose?” Chu Ge followed her out, feeling helpless.

“This is called not being afraid of hot water.” Qiu Wuzhi hummed, “It’s just like that, what else can you do? Just remember that if I want it, you can’t escape!”

Chu Ge lamented, “Why can’t I figure out if I’ve gained or lost here? Give me back my haughty and aloof Qiu Wuji.”

“Oh, so you want to relive our first encounter,huh? You think I’ve become an old lady… The book also has the cool and aloof Qiu Wuji, but she won’t just casually fall in love with you. The problem is, your ultimate goal is still to turn her into someone like me, right?”

Chu Ge scratched his head, thinking for a long time, and it seemed like she had a point.

Qiu Wuji gave him a glance and pursed her lips. Of course, she wasn’t actually fearless. She was just feeling a little guilty.

Mengmeng was already jealous. She hoped that the little charlatan wouldn’t steal him away…

Although she was actually quite confident…

Speaking of which, up to now, she had never encountered a real love rival. Gu Ruoyan was just an imaginary enemy who couldn’t be more irrelevant. She had blown that out of proportion. But what if a real competitor emerged…

In the past, he was just an introvert who stayed indoors, never leaving his home. Now, he was gradually engaging with the outside world and even signing contracts in Shanghai. In the future, the film and television script team might require him to be on-site regularly. What if there were some well-known actresses…

The age-old jealousy was sinking in deep.

Thinking about the dual cultivation technique he found yesterday, the one with the embarrassing position, maybe today they could give it a try…

Just as she was thinking this, Chu Ge said, “About that dual cultivation technique from yesterday…”

Qiu Wuji: “!”

“…I looked at it and didn’t think it was effective. The strange movements are like yoga, and I can’t learn them. It’s also awkward to do. How about we switch to something else?”

Qiu Wuji replied, “That’s the one you originally set as the ‘Heaven and Earth Yin-Yang Great Compassion Poem,’ right?”

Chu Ge responded, “I borrowed it from someone else… no, wait, how can you call it borrowing when it’s a scholar’s work? Anyway, it’s someone else’s technique, and the original design wasn’t for dual cultivation. I just used it as a dual cultivation technique because the name sounded intimidating. So, it turned out to be weird. Shall we change to an authentic one from a reputable sect?”

Qiu Wuji said impatiently, “I don’t know about these things; you decide.”

Of course, she would prefer not to use those positions!

Chu Ge touched his chin in contemplation, “What about the ‘Great Bliss Pure Land Sutra’? My ‘Golden Bell Shield’ is a Buddhist technique, so it might be suitable… I know a handsome author who wrote about the main character using this technique…”

Qiu Wuji covered her ears. “I’m not listening, you pervert.”

And they were still in public! Really.

“Ahem.” Chu Ge glanced around and saw that no one was paying attention to them. He then took Qiu Wuji’s hand and strolled down the street casually, no longer mentioning that topic.

Actually, it was a quite legitimate matter… In xianxia novels, wouldn’t it be strange if the protagonist didn’t have a dual cultivation technique?

But he decided to steer the conversation in a more formal direction, “These days, with some saved drafts and coinciding with the completion of a volume, the train of thought has temporarily been interrupted. I’m thinking of using this time to revise the earlier parts of the original work.”

Qiu Wuji was a bit surprised. “Isn’t this a huge project?”

Chu Ge was also surprised. “Oh, you actually understand now. I thought you’d say that changing the script and the book is easy.”

“Hmph, at least I am the one who has written an autobiography. Qiuqiu’s autobiography has been completed!” Qiu Wuji was a little proud: “Scriptwriting can be considered starting from scratch, restructuring the beginning and ending. But if you want to revise the original text, it could lead to major changes in multiple chapters, which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. I don’t think you can finish it in less than two months; much less two days.”

Chu Ge said, “Should I start making some changes first? Or maybe I can write the main text every day and then go back to make revisions little by little, taking it slow?”

“That would disrupt your thought process, like trying to focus on two things at once. Otherwise, you would have done it already. You haven’t because it’s challenging, right?” Qiu Wuji replied. “I think it’s safer to let the comic cover it. If you want to make changes to the original text, you should allocate a specific time for that. This way, you can work on both. In case there are any mistakes, it’s better to be cautious.”

Chu Ge contemplated for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile. “You’re right; I was being too hasty.”

Qiu Wuji asked curiously, “Why are you suddenly so concerned about this? I’ve never seen you in such a hurry before. Now that the comic is progressing well, you’re in a hurry?”

Chu Ge held her hand and said with a hint of embarrassment, “I deleted that one sentence to get you, so I thought I should remove it completely.”

Qiu Wuji felt a little pleased but still shook her head. “You… I’m with you because it’s been a gradual process over time. You’ve been good to me, and I’ve chosen you, not just because of that one sentence. Deleting that sentence only proved that these thoughts came from my heart and not from manipulation. It opened the last door of my heart. Do you really think you can change things with just one sentence? You’re being too optimistic.”

Chu Ge: “Hmm.”

Qiu Wuji didn’t want to dwell on this anymore. They had already done it, and she didn’t want to overthink it. She changed the subject, “So where are we going to play?”

“My mom suddenly sent me a message asking if we wanted to visit our hometown,” Chu Ge said with a forced smile. “She added a smiling emoji.”

Qiu Wuji couldn’t help but giggle.

“Mom’s implying something, especially with that smiley face. I feel like she understands and is doing it on purpose. She’s subtly pushing for us to get married, implying that the family home is empty and can be used for a wedding. Really, we’ve already said we want to buy a house ourselves.”

Qiu Wuji glanced at him, and Chu Ge turned his head away, looking embarrassed.

Qiu Wuji also felt a bit shy and lowered her head. She knew what he was thinking.

With the copyright fee used to start the company, even though it had brought in some income, they didn’t know how long it would take to save up enough for a down payment. The upcoming animation and film and television projects wouldn’t be launching for several months at the earliest, and even though the value of becoming more famous was there, it wouldn’t translate into immediate financial gains.

No matter how you calculated it, it seemed that they probably wouldn’t be able to pay the down payment within a year or two. But now, with the relationship between them feeling more and more like a married couple…

After his mom’s reminder, this guy started thinking about his family’s old house, thinking that maybe they could renovate it into a new house…

It was presented as a suggestion to take her out to play, but it was actually seeking her opinion. Could they…

Qiu Wuji pouted and whispered, “Of course, I’d like to visit. I also want to see where you grew up; I haven’t seen it yet.”

Chu Ge’s face brightened with a smile.

In ancient times, very few people actually built a new house for their marriage. Most of the time, they would bring the bride to live in their own house, even for wealthy families.

So, Qiu Wuji had no objections to the idea of getting married in the old home… She might even think it’s the right way to do it.

It was the place where he had grown up, with memories of his childhood and all the people who had been part of his life. Neighbors, childhood friends… and the sisters-in-law that the bride would have to face.

Welcoming the bride, isn’t that what all these people were for? There might not be sisters-in-law here, but there were neighbors.

Heard that they used to look down on Chu Ge’s profession? That’s why he rented a place outside.

Who would dare to look down on my husband? Can your son find such a beautiful wife like me?

Qiu Wuji held onto Chu Ge’s arm, suddenly filled with determination. “Let’s go, I’ll accompany you back to your hometown!”
