Chapter 158
The moment Lin Yuewei blurted out “sugar daddy,” the room went dead silent.
After a moment, Gu Yanqiu looked at her and said softly, “So not only do I have to be your mom now, I have to be your dad too?”
Lin Yuewei lunged forward and collapsed against her shoulder, shaking with laughter.
“That’s not it.” After laughing herself breathless, she sat up and explained to Gu Yanqiu, “I hired a wave of paid commenters myself around that time, and it just happened that I used the same company as you. Jiang Congbi heard from the boss that there was someone with the surname Lin who had come in before me. I couldn’t figure out for the life of me who that Lin was. I thought it was my parents, but when I asked later it wasn’t, so I left it alone until today when the truth finally came out.”
Gu Yanqiu smiled.
Lin Yuewei tugged one of her hands over and traced little circles on the back of it with her fingertips, sighing as if in complaint. “President Gu, just how many little secrets are you still keeping from me?”
“None, I think.” Gu Yanqiu considered it for a moment before answering.
“And then next time you’ll casually reveal another one?”
“Really, there aren’t any.” Gu Yanqiu laughed.
“Hey.” Lin Yuewei suddenly thought of something. “There was that time I had a fan event, and it was right after the show started airing last year. You were down below watching, and they even called you up to play a game. You said you weren’t anyone’s fan; you were just passing by?”
Gu Yanqiu pursed her lips and shook her head. “No. I was your fan. I went there specifically to see you.”
Lin Yuewei looked at her and couldn’t stop the corners of her mouth from lifting. “President Gu, you’re really something.”
Gu Yanqiu raised an eyebrow, neither confirming nor denying it.
Lin Yuewei kept poking at her soft spot. “You’d already fallen for me by then and were pretending to be so calm. That must’ve driven you crazy, huh?”
Gu Yanqiu thought for a second. “It was fine. Back then, at most, I had a little fondness for you; I didn’t yet have a firm idea of wanting to be with you.”
“Then what were you thinking at the time?”
“That when I saw you happy, I wanted to look at you a little longer.”
“Was that person I saw on my way to and from the studio you?”
“It was me.”
“……” Lin Yuewei didn’t even know what else to say. When she was filming, this woman had gone to stake out her comings and goings; when there were events, she got up early in the morning to grab a spot; when she was being blacklisted online, she personally contacted a paid-comment company. And this was supposed to be not having a firm desire to be with her, only wanting to look at her a little longer?
Gu Yanqiu even gave Lin Yuewei a quiet “Mm?” as if she didn’t understand why her expression had become so complicated.
“I want to ask you a question.” Lin Yuewei’s expression turned serious.
“What question?”
“Before, was there anyone you’d ever looked at and thought, ‘I want to look a little longer’? Had you ever done anything for anyone else?”
“No.”
Lin Yuewei waved a hand. “All right, then I have no more questions.”
She felt a little happy inside. Gu Yanqiu hadn’t even had another person she wanted to look at before; the first one was her! How lucky was she!
Gu Yanqiu glanced at her and suddenly said, “I have a question too.”
“Go ahead.” Lin Yuewei replied. Fair’s fair.
“When you had a crush on me before, were you planning to do anything?”
“Aren’t you already aware?”
Gu Yanqiu shook her head lightly. “I mean long ago, when we were still just online friends; when you had a crush on me.”
Lin Yuewei nearly choked on her own saliva. “W-why are you suddenly asking about that?”
Just thinking about that period now made her mortified!
A glint of amusement flashed through Gu Yanqiu’s eyes. She said very seriously, “I’m curious.”
“Can I not answer?” Lin Yuewei clung to a sliver of hope. Usually, if Gu Yanqiu asked, then she’d already asked; there was no reason she should be allowed to refuse answering.
Gu Yanqiu smiled slightly. “Suit yourself.”
Lin Yuewei: “……” Fine, she’d answer.
To ease her embarrassment, Lin Yuewei first went to pour herself a glass of water. After taking a sip, she held the cup in both hands and rubbed at it, her eyes darting around as she wondered where to start.
Gu Yanqiu seemed to see right through her and said directly, “Start from the beginning. How did you end up liking me?”
Lin Yuewei’s ears were practically red. She mumbled, “How else would I like someone? I just suddenly liked you.”
“When exactly?”
“Three years ago?”
Gu Yanqiu’s lips parted slightly in surprise.
Since she was already halfway out of the closet, Lin Yuewei decided she might as well come all the way out. She looked away and said, “Weren’t you pretty free for a while then? We played games together every day, and occasionally chatted too. You didn’t say much nonsense, but when the atmosphere was right, you’d mention a little. You said you ran into a beautiful puppy on the road that day and played with it for a while.”
“So?”
“At the time I don’t know why, but something just shifted inside me. I imagined this scene with the setting sun in the background, and a… person bending down gently, or crouching, playing with the puppy.”
“So you didn’t know whether I was male or female?”
“If you hadn’t outed yourself, I’d have had no idea.”
“And that was enough to make you like me?”
“Pretty much. Anyway, I got completely absorbed in that beautiful image. Every time you talked to me, I’d try to imagine what the person on the other side looked like, what their expression was, what their voice sounded like; whether they were smiling or expressionless. Every time you showed up, my whole day would get better. If you weren’t around, I’d be listless and just go through the motions of school and life.”
Gu Yanqiu gave a low “Mm.”
Lin Yuewei asked, “Is it hard for you to understand?”
Gu Yanqiu hesitated for a moment.
Lin Yuewei immediately said, “Okay, I get it.” She was so embarrassed she wanted to die. She burrowed her face into the blanket. “I already said I could refuse to answer, but you insisted. What’s there to ask about anyway? It’s all in the past. You’re her, and she’s you. I already chased down my crush, and everybody’s happy.”
Gu Yanqiu stroked her head through the blanket. “I’m not trying to make fun of you.”
Lin Yuewei still hid. “Then what are you doing?”
Gu Yanqiu said, “I just wanted to know what was so good about her that you liked her first.”
Her voice suddenly dropped. If Lin Yuewei hadn’t been listening carefully while huddled under the blanket, she might have missed it. She sat up and pulled the blanket down, looking at the faint displeasure in Gu Yanqiu’s eyes. Frowning, she asked uncertainly, “You’re not jealous, are you?”
Gu Yanqiu said nothing, which was as good as admitting it.
Lin Yuewei had not been unaware that this might happen; it was just that more than three months had passed since Gu Yanqiu’s cover was blown, and coming to question her now seemed a little too delayed, didn’t it?
After a brief thought, Lin Yuewei came up with a response. “What I liked was the you I imagined, not the real you. If she weren’t you, maybe after meeting her and finding the gap too big, I wouldn’t have liked her anymore.”
“What if that person wasn’t me?”
“What?”
“What if the online friend you played cards with wasn’t me, but someone else; someone very beautiful, very capable, and no worse than me in any way.” Gu Yanqiu looked straight at her. “Who would you choose?”
“I…” Lin Yuewei felt suffocated. She chose death.
What kind of hypothetical was that? She said, “That’s impossible.”
“I’m saying what if.”
“There is no what if.” After saying that, Lin Yuewei realized something was off. With the mood like this… inspiration struck her. She gently took Gu Yanqiu’s hand and stared at her with deep affection. “I choose you. That was all so long ago; my heart only has you now.”
As she finished, she cupped Gu Yanqiu’s chin without giving her a chance to refuse and kissed her full face, one peck after another, making crisp little sounds.
After kissing her, she got a little thirsty. She didn’t bother to drink water right away; instead, she just stared at Gu Yanqiu without blinking, waiting for her to speak.
Gu Yanqiu was silent for a long time before saying, “Go to sleep.”
Lin Yuewei could tell she had calmed down a bit, so she said, “I want water.”
Gu Yanqiu poured her another glass. Lin Yuewei took it, drank half, then fed the rest to Gu Yanqiu.
And then Gu Yanqiu had her again.
Only then could this storm, delayed by more than three months, finally be said to have completely subsided.
Lin Yuewei’s shoot the next morning was very late, so before bed she turned off her alarm and sent Wang Yuanyuan a message telling her to call if she didn’t see her at the appointed time. When she opened her eyes, it was already 8:30. Her face felt itchy; she turned her head and looked blearily to the side.
Gu Yanqiu set down the small handful of hair she’d been playing with and pressed a kiss to Lin Yuewei’s lips. “You’re awake.”
Lin Yuewei reached for her phone and checked the time; then she curled into Gu Yanqiu’s arms and yawned. “When did you wake up?”
“An hour before you.”
“Why didn’t you keep sleeping?”
“I was afraid if I woke up, you’d already be gone to film.”
“Are you coming with me? To keep playing the part of a life assistant?”
“No. It’d be too conspicuous; what if someone recognized me?” Gu Yanqiu said after careful consideration.
Lin Yuewei looked up and laughed. “President Gu, you’re really worried about your image now?”
Gu Yanqiu brushed the hair falling over her forehead back. “This isn’t about being worried about my image; it’s about avoiding unnecessary trouble.”
Lin Yuewei deliberately coaxed her. “Then can you bear to watch me go film all by myself?”
Without hesitation, Gu Yanqiu said, “Haven’t you always gone to film by yourself? Even if I can’t bear it, you still have to go. Work comes first.”
Lin Yuewei: “……”
Gu Yanqiu didn’t notice that she’d been left speechless. She still valued work very highly, whether her own or Lin Yuewei’s. Only when work was going well would she have the leisure to do other things, like dating.
“Still sleepy?”
Lin Yuewei had been rendered powerless by her counterattack, and spending such a beautiful morning curled up in bed did feel a bit wasteful, so she sat up. “Not anymore. I’m going to take a shower. Want to come with me?”
“I already showered.”
“Then I’ll go by myself.”
By the time she came out, Gu Yanqiu had already set the hotel breakfast on the table and was calling her over. “Come eat breakfast.”
“Wait.” Lin Yuewei lowered her head and tied the belt of her bathrobe before walking over. She took the disposable chopsticks Gu Yanqiu had split open for her, picked up a piece of fried spring roll, and first held it out to Gu Yanqiu’s lips with her hand underneath. “Ah.”
Gu Yanqiu opened her mouth and took a bite; her eyes curved slightly. “Delicious.”
It was as if Lin Yuewei had made it herself.
Watching her swallow, Lin Yuewei sat back down opposite her and asked casually, “What are you planning to do next?”
“There are a few programs in discussion.”
“You might as well really debut, then. Go all around diversified development,” Lin Yuewei said.
Gu Yanqiu could see right through her teasing. Debuting was impossible, but she could always ask an industry insider how her Weibo could be used to its fullest effect; apart from ordinary advertising and promotion, what else would be good to post?
She narrowed her eyes and began thinking seriously.
Lin Yuewei put on a frightened face. “You’re not seriously considering debuting, are you?”
Gu Yanqiu clicked her tongue hard.
Lin Yuewei suddenly broke into a bright smile. “Okay, okay; just kidding.”
Partings always came extraordinarily fast. After dragging things out until 9:30, it was time for Lin Yuewei to go downstairs and head to the set; the car was already waiting at the hotel entrance.
“I’m leaving. When you get to the airport, send me a message; when you land, send me one too.” Lin Yuewei stood at the door and reminded her. Every time, whether it was Lin Yuewei going to film or Gu Yanqiu going to work, she was the one who would chatter away with reminders.
“Okay.”
“I’m going.”
“Okay.”
“Aren’t you going to miss me?” Lin Yuewei looked at Gu Yanqiu’s composed face and complained.
“I will.”
“Then you—mmph!”
Her back slammed against the door panel with a bang.
Gu Yanqiu locked her into her arms, gripping both of her wrists and pressing them to her sides with enough force that she couldn’t move. Then she lowered her head and kissed her. The lips and tongue that wound around her were like fire; sweet, warm, and tender.
The sound of swallowing was startlingly loud.
Lin Yuewei was kissed into a haze of desire. She really wanted to hug Gu Yanqiu, but Gu Yanqiu’s grip was too tight; she struggled once and couldn’t break free. Gu Yanqiu deepened the kiss, then moved behind her and hooked the tip of her tongue against her earlobe. Lin Yuewei couldn’t help a soft, breathy sound and gave up struggling entirely.
No one knew how long they kissed before the phone in Lin Yuewei’s pocket rang, its abrupt ringtone interrupting them.
Lin Yuewei opened her misty eyes and said in a low voice, “It should be Wang Yuanyuan. She’s calling to hurry me up.”
Gu Yanqiu let go of her wrists and looked down at her steadily, then repeated her previous words in a hoarse voice: “I will.”
It took Lin Yuewei a moment to remember what they’d been talking about before they kissed; she had questioned Gu Yanqiu for being too cold, and then…
Lin Yuewei took a deep breath. Her lips moved. She glanced at Gu Yanqiu as if she wanted to say something, then fished out the phone that was ringing nonstop and answered, “I’ll change clothes and come down right away.”
Change clothes? Gu Yanqiu watched as Lin Yuewei hung up, then began rummaging through the suitcase she had brought over. From the bottom, she found a new pair of underwear and slipped into the bathroom.
When she came out, Lin Yuewei still looked a little resentful. Gu Yanqiu stood where she was, not moving; Lin Yuewei walked to the door, then turned back and pressed a hard kiss to her lips. “I’m really going. No flirting around.”
“Okay.”
This time, Lin Yuewei didn’t think she was being cold. She looked back at Gu Yanqiu, a trace of reluctance in her eyes, and swallowed her sigh before stepping out the door.
Gu Yanqiu stared at the closed door for a long time before lowering her eyes and quietly moving to pack her luggage.
***
Lin Yuewei had a scene with Wen Ning that afternoon, and Wen Ning’s acting was as terrible as ever. Lin Yuewei was prepared to go head-to-head with her. Today was Wen Ning’s worst performance yet; even the director, who had been tolerating her, couldn’t help sighing. In the end, wrap was delayed as expected.
On the way back by car, Wang Yuanyuan couldn’t help saying, “Isn’t this person just deliberately going against you?”
Lin Yuewei’s scene had a lot of lines and required emotional shifts too; each take consumed a huge amount of energy. Wen Ning had only a few short exchanges, yet she kept making mistakes, and not even the bare minimum could save her constant NGs.
Lin Yuewei said, “Water.”
Wang Yuanyuan handed her a bottle of mineral water after opening it. Lin Yuewei took it and drank in small sips.
Wang Yuanyuan asked, “Just because you turned her down last time?”
Lin Yuewei was calm and unhurried. “Who knows. If you’re not envied, you’re mediocre.”
“How are you so open-minded?”
Lin Yuewei laughed. “What else can I do if I’m not open-minded? Fight her? It’s just petty nonsense. The more takes I do, the more I improve; the more she deliberately slips up, the more she slacks off. Our balance is shifting in my favor. In the long run, I’m the one profiting. Someone like her is never going to amount to much. I used to still take it to heart, but today I can see it’s not worth wasting my energy on her. From now on, I’ll just pretend she doesn’t exist. We’ll be wrapped in no time anyway.”
Wang Yuanyuan glanced at her.
Lin Yuewei said, “What?”
Wang Yuanyuan said, “I think… your attitude is really pretty solid.”
Lin Yuewei clicked her tongue. “Stop flattering me. Say what you want to say.”
“Then I’ll say it.” Wang Yuanyuan lowered her voice. “Have you been influenced by the one at home? You seem a lot more Buddhist now.”
“My one at home is not Buddhist at all,” Lin Yuewei said with a laugh.
Wang Yuanyuan covered her eyes. “That’s dog abuse.”
Lin Yuewei lightly slapped her once, and the two of them joked around for a bit before Lin Yuewei asked, “Do you know my person at home has gotten really popular online lately?” Wang Yuanyuan, as an assistant with eyes and ears everywhere, knew all the stirrings in the crew; naturally she wouldn’t miss what was happening online either.
“Of course I know.” Wang Yuanyuan knew Lin Yuewei wouldn’t believe her if she lied, so she admitted it outright.
“Then why didn’t you tell me?” Lin Yuewei hadn’t really been checking Weibo lately except to cooperate with promotions, and she’d been kept in the dark the whole time.
“She told me not to tell you.”
“I knew it.” Lin Yuewei gritted her teeth. “And she said not to tell you, so you didn’t tell me? Are you her assistant or mine? Where exactly is your elbow turned?”
“Yours, but…”
“What are you muttering about?”
Wang Yuanyuan raised her voice a little, but still said in a small voice, “Isn’t it always her word that counts in your family?”
“I—” Lin Yuewei nearly choked.
Though it wasn’t wrong, but still!
Lin Yuewei had to seriously put Wang Yuanyuan in her place. “Even if my standing at home is a little lower sometimes, you still shouldn’t help her hide things from me. You’re like this… you’re like this…”
Wang Yuanyuan said, “Then if she prepares a surprise for you next time, should I spill it?”
Lin Yuewei: “……”
She gave Wang Yuanyuan a disgusted look and resigned herself. “Fine, fine. Handle it however you want.”
What was hers was Gu Yanqiu’s; by extension, her assistant was basically Gu Yanqiu’s assistant too.
Lin Yuewei tilted her head back and took two more sips of water. From the tinted car window, she looked outside; after a while, she suddenly froze.
How did Wang Yuanyuan know that Gu Yanqiu had the final say in their household? Was she really that obvious?! How many times had she even seen Gu Yanqiu?!
“We’re here, Weiwei.”
Wang Yuanyuan called her back to her senses. Lin Yuewei gave her a long,幽幽幽幽 look, which only made Wang Yuanyuan even more baffled.
***
There was a response from the Fatal Jade crew that Chen Xuan had contacted, and that night she called Lin Yuewei.
“Weiwei,” Chen Xuan said after pacing back and forth in her study a couple of times, still unable to figure it out. “Just what kind of godly person did you get to know?”
“Chen-jie, I don’t really understand what you mean.” Lin Yuewei was completely confused.
“Didn’t you ask me to find a way into Fatal Jade before? I went and asked around. I finally managed to get connected through a friend of a friend and was just about to set up a meal to talk about it when the casting director called me directly and asked whether you were interested in auditioning.”
“Did they say which role to audition for?” Lin Yuewei frowned deeply.
“They said to try them all and see which one fits.”
“……”
“Did you secretly make friends with someone very capable? Or…”
Chen Xuan didn’t finish the rest, but Lin Yuewei understood what she meant and immediately denied it. “No.”
Her brain spun rapidly as she said to Chen Xuan, “You have my schedule. Just help me arrange an audition time with them. The person who may have recommended me is Teacher Qu Xuesong.”
To be safe, Lin Yuewei temporarily pinned this credit on Qu Xuesong.
“Qu Xuesong? You’re on very good terms with her?”
“Mm. We became friends when we worked together last time,” Lin Yuewei said. “Chen-jie, please don’t say that Teacher Qu helped me.”
Chen Xuan was what she was; she immediately agreed. “Of course I won’t say anything. Get some good rest. I’ll let you know once it’s settled.”
“Good night.”
After hanging up, Chen Xuan’s face darkened.
She wasn’t like Ji Han, who came with a background of her own, able to make anyone in the circle give her two points of face, but she’d still been hacking her way through the industry for more than twenty years, so she knew a little about how far Qu Xuesong’s reach extended. Qu Xuesong might well be able to introduce Lin Yuewei and put in a word for her, but the casting director’s tone on the phone that day clearly sounded like they had already decided on Lin Yuewei and were only arranging a role for her now. That was obviously not something just anyone could pull off.
Lin Yuewei was lying.
On her end, Lin Yuewei quickly filtered through a few names in her head and dialed out.
“You arranged a role for me?”
Her childhood friend had just gotten home after working overtime and said, dazed, “What role? Didn’t you say to rely on yourself? I didn’t get involved at all. Do you want me to get involved? Our family happens to have invested in a movie; there’s no female lead, but second female lead or third female lead is still possible. Coming or not?”
“Coming, my ass; not coming. Bye.”
Her second childhood friend said, “My family has nothing to do with TV dramas. Friends? I do know someone, but we’re not that close. I didn’t open my mouth about it.”
Her third childhood friend said, “When will you wrap? Come out and get together sometime?”
Jiang Congbi said, “Do I look like the kind of person who goes looking for trouble when I have nothing better to do? If I really had that kind of power, I’d already be the head of our family business. I wouldn’t be getting held down by my dad every day.”
By this point Lin Yuewei didn’t hang up anymore. “I actually have someone in mind.”
“Who?”
“Gu Yanqiu.”
“Very possible.”
“Then what does it mean for her to suddenly arrange a role for me?” Lin Yuewei didn’t know how Gu Yanqiu had gone about it, but that woman had always had the knack. In the blink of an eye she’d become a star entrepreneur a month later, so no matter what she did, Lin Yuewei wouldn’t find it strange.
“Maybe she wants you to have an easier time? Or climb a little faster?”
“That’s what I was thinking too. Why is it that I’m not too willing when it’s your help, but if I think it was my wife arranging it for me, I even feel a little happy? Is this love?”
“Where’s my knife?” Jiang Congbi couldn’t listen anymore.
Lin Yuewei hurriedly said, “Come on, I’m joking. I still have a question to ask you. Should I tell her? Like, thank her and stuff?” Lin Yuewei had long admired Fatal Jade. Even without Gu Yanqiu, she would have found a way to land a role in it. This time, Gu Yanqiu had just happened to hit her weak spot and given her a sudden surprise; it wasn’t as if she had randomly thrown money around to stuff a role into her hands, so there was no need to be awkward about it.
“Don’t you think that’d be embarrassing?”
“...A little.”
“You should just act well after you pass the audition. A small hit comes from promotion; a huge hit comes from fate. If your fate is bad, then no amount of promotion will help.” Jiang Congbi rested her chin in her hand, frowning slightly. “She arranged it for you secretly, didn’t she? Otherwise she should’ve told you when she visited your set.”
“That’s what I thought too.”
“Then don’t tell her. She probably doesn’t want you to know either. When you become a breakout success in the future, or once everything’s settled, then tell her.”
“All right, then it’s settled.”
Lin Yuewei inexplicably credited the whole thing to Gu Yanqiu.
It wasn’t her fault she didn’t think of Ji Han. Ji Han did have the ability, but she and Lin Yuewei were not on good terms; the way she looked at Lin Yuewei was clearly the way one looked at an enemy. Believing Ji Han had arranged a role for her was less plausible than believing the sun would rise in the west.
Lin Yuewei carried out her policy of complete disregard for Wen Ning to the letter. For the next half month, she ignored her completely, not even bothering with surface politeness. Wen Ning had even been thinking of smearing her during interviews, but Lin Yuewei wasn’t one to be trifled with. She could make things up too, and she was just as good at it. Based on her observations, Wen Ning was very good at peddling connections, so when Lin Yuewei made up her own version, it was almost indistinguishable from the truth; she “accidentally” slipped a lie to reporters, and when Wen Ning realized she wasn’t getting the better of it, she gradually stopped provoking her.
On the day of the Great Heat solar term, Lin Yuewei wrapped smoothly. The lead actors and some of the others still had to keep filming, and the crew held a simple wrap banquet for her. After eating, Lin Yuewei headed straight to the airport and boarded her return flight.
Unfortunately, Gu Yanqiu was on a business trip overseas, attending meetings and studying; she wasn’t home. Only Ran Qingqing, a dog, and a cat were there.
“Mom! I’m back.” The next morning at dawn, Lin Yuewei dragged her suitcase up to the big iron gate of her family villa and, as soon as she stepped inside, eagerly called to Ran Qingqing in the little garden.
The moment Ran Qingqing saw her, disappointment crossed her face. “Why are you the one who came?”
“……” Lin Yuewei stepped back two paces, looked at the plaque by the front door, and said in disbelief, “Isn’t this the Lin residence?”
“It is, it is.” Ran Qingqing made no move to take her suitcase. “All right, come in. Why are you just standing there at the door? You’re grown now. Breakfast is in the kitchen; find something you can eat and heat it up yourself.”
Lin Yuewei had spent the whole night at the airport and then flown over at dawn, only to be met with such a cold welcome.
She pitied herself for a while in place, then obediently dragged her suitcase inside, tossed it into a corner of the living room, and went into the kitchen to look for food. At last she found a pie; it smelled like it might have meat in it, which immediately whetted her appetite. She put it in the microwave, ready to heat it up.
Ran Qingqing poked her head in from outside the kitchen and said brightly, “Oh, eating breakfast?”
Lin Yuewei gave a weak “Mm.”
Ran Qingqing blinked. “Mom’ll make it for you then.”
Be grateful to your mother.
Lin Yuewei was practically in tears. She immediately gave way to her and said expectantly, “Mom, I want noodles; shredded pork noodles, with a fried egg on top.”
Ran Qingqing pushed her forehead. “Look at how little ambition you have.”
Then she impatiently shooed her away with a wave. “Get out, get out. The kitchen’s smoky.”
Author’s note: Today is just a transition. Tomorrow we’ll get back to the main plot a bit and catch up with the side couple too.
None of you know what that sneaky Watsons CP has been doing, hahahaha.
