I'm a sophomore in college, what the heck is this "male god cultivation system"?

Chapter 139 The Puppy (8K)

“I don’t think she would like this kind of place.”

Although Chen Yan's voice carried a hint of joking when he said this, it was truly from the bottom of his heart.

Perhaps it was because of his appreciation for Lin Zhixi's personality, or perhaps it was because of the "special sibling" relationship between the two, but Chen Yan had a very good impression of Lin Zhixi.

This sensory experience is pleasant, but it's not the kind of romantic love between men and women; it's more like a sense of resonance, like that between kindred spirits.

Chen Yan also deeply analyzed why, despite being such a lustful person, he didn't feel much desire when facing Lin Zhixi.

Firstly, there's his father, Chen Sen. If possible, Chen Yan still hopes his father can have a happy second spring... Not to help him in any way, but at least not to cause him trouble.

This "sibling" relationship, which has no legal implications, has in other ways imposed certain constraints on Chen Yan.

The second reason is that Lin Zhixi doesn't quite fit Chen Yan's tropes... He used to think he was just a womanizer, but after being "unrestrained" for so long, he has vaguely figured out his true feelings.

He is indeed a womanizer, but when the other person's looks are above 85, he pays more attention to their physique than their appearance.

In terms of figure, Lin Zhixi was completely outshone by Wen Ya Bo Sha, and even Shu He was slightly better than her.

The third reason is that the other party's identity isn't exciting enough... cough cough, I won't go into details about that for now.

With these three reasons combined, Chen Yan managed to resist the allure of Lin Zhixi's beauty, allowing reason to perfectly triumph over lust.

That's why, when he was with Lin Zhixi, Chen Yan tried his best to treat her like a younger sister.

And now, a girl who hangs out in bars suddenly says she really wants to get close to her younger sister... To put it simply, her well-behaved and academically excellent younger sister, who has always been well-mannered and academically gifted, suddenly starts hanging out with a female delinquent after starting high school...

It's fortunate that Chen Yan and Lin Zhixi have known each other for less than a year; if it were his own brother, he would probably have been arrested immediately.

"Then let's not invite her to the bar." Perhaps because the surrounding environment was too noisy, Pei Yu couldn't hear the meaning behind Chen Yan's words, or perhaps this girl simply wasn't very bright, and subconsciously said:

“I’m not a regular at bars, I was just dragged here today… If she doesn’t like bars, we can go to art studios or shopping malls together.”

"Okay, I'll tell her next time I see her." Chen Yan waved and said, "I'm leaving now. Have fun, bye-bye."

After saying that, he walked out of the dance floor and headed towards the booth where Shen Dong was, intending to say goodbye and then leave the bar to go back to the photo studio for the night.

……

the next morning.

Chocolate sat cross-legged on the sofa, happily looking at the results of her works, her smile almost reaching her ears.

The surprise of her "overnight fame" has not yet completely faded from her mind.

The twerking dance has garnered over 7 million likes and gained 5 million followers. Although the growth rate has slowed down, it is still quite significant.

During this period, under Chen Yan's screening, she successfully took on two women's clothing orders. Although she could only receive 40% of the profits according to the contract, she still received nearly 200,000 yuan in the end.

Two hundred thousand yuan is not a lot of money, but it is not a small amount either. However, it is definitely a "huge sum" for a college student who has not yet graduated.

Especially considering that she earned this money from just two videos, with a total filming time of less than a day...

This rapid flow of money made Chocolate think about taking on more business orders and making a quick buck... Of course, as soon as she mentioned this idea to Chen Yan, he decisively rejected her.

After all, taking on too many commercial orders is more harmful than beneficial for most bloggers. Moreover, if there are any problems with the clothing provided by the client, the blogger will be significantly affected.

If you have a bright future, prematurely exhausting the potential of your account to make money will only take you further away from maximizing your profits.

Although her ideas were rejected, Chocolate didn't feel any negative emotions and quickly accepted Chen Yan's explanation.
On the one hand, after creating the viral "hip-shaking dance" video, Chocolate's attitude towards Chen Yan was almost one of worship, and under this emotional state, it was difficult for her to question his decision.

On the other hand, even though she frequently accepted business orders, Chen Yan took the lion's share of the profits. Under these circumstances, his rejection of her proposal was clearly a more rational consideration.

The satisfaction that money brings to chocolate is only one aspect; another aspect is the emotional satisfaction.

With tens of millions of views for the "twerking dance," the first to see the video were naturally young people who surf the internet intensively. In recent days, Chocolate has become the focus of discussion in her junior high, high school, and college class groups.

Her parents and relatives saw the video a little later, especially those relatives... To be honest, the Chocolate family didn't have much of a presence among the relatives before.

After all, her parents were just ordinary working people, and apart from her appearance, she didn't have any particularly outstanding advantages growing up... For the most part, she played the role of a supporting character among her relatives.

But now things are different. The situation has reversed, and all the relatives are saying that their family has produced a big internet celebrity and that they will make a fortune in the future... As for those relatives, they are almost praising her as a genius who is "excellent in character and academics," "innately intelligent," and "showed extraordinary talent from a young age."

The level of flattery made her blush.

Of course, a few relatives with whom I don't usually get along also made sarcastic remarks like, "How much money can you make from this kind of thing?" or "You've probably been scammed..."

Faced with such sarcastic remarks, Chocolate didn't say much, but simply casually showed off the income from his two business deals.

From then on, all that surrounded their home was praise and envy...

The dual satisfaction of emotions and material things has made Chocolate's mood incredibly good lately, and her admiration for Chen Yan is also constantly rising.

Chocolate refreshed the page again, and after glancing at the number of likes with satisfaction, she was about to watch some shows when she suddenly received a message from Chen Yan.

Chocolate has now set Chen Yan's WeChat to "pin to top" status, so she can see Chen Yan's messages as soon as she clicks on it.

[Chen Yan: I'm coming to the photo studio to shoot a video at 3:30 this afternoon. Can you spare the time?]

Without a second thought, Chocolate quickly typed "Received".

Just kidding, even if something comes up, I still have to go and film the video. Things can be postponed, but if my mentor and boss are not satisfied, then there will be a big problem.

Of course, after confirming the time and place with Chen Yan, Chocolate didn't forget to inform Song Yang.

[Chocolate: Baby, I'm going to the photo studio to shoot a video tomorrow afternoon. Do you want to come with me?]

[Chocolate: (winks, jpg)]

……

the other side.

Song Yang was sitting in a chair, passionately laning against the enemy in the bottom lane, when his phone suddenly rang. He glanced at it casually.

Then he forgot all about the game...

These past few days, he has actually felt a little more at ease. After all, Chen Yan and Chocolate haven't been in close contact. Apart from that time with the hip-shaking dance, they haven't had much contact at other times. Most of the time, Chen Yan just gives guidance online, acting like he's just an employee and his boss.

But as soon as the message about chocolate came in, Song Yang's heart, which had finally relaxed a little, tightened up again.

After all, this is a trip to their headquarters, so there will definitely be some contact...

What bothered Song Yang even more was that he had class in the afternoon.

If it were just a regular class, he would have skipped it, but that particular class happened to be a retake class for him... As one of the few students retaking a class, the instructor paid a considerable amount of attention to him.

Moreover, the teacher had previously stated that "if anyone is found to have skipped class, their participation grade will be reset to zero."

If you score zero in regular classes, even a perfect score on the final exam will barely get you a passing grade... not to mention that Song Yang simply doesn't have the ability to get a perfect score.

On one hand, I'm failing my course; on the other hand, I have a girlfriend...

After thinking for a moment, Song Yang decided to prioritize his studies and reluctantly sent a voice message.

"Um, I have class this afternoon, so I can't go with you."

Chocolate replied less than ten seconds after the message was sent.

[Chocolate: (Unhappy, jpg)]

[Chocolate: Okay then, I'll go by myself... By the time I'm done filming, you'll probably be done with get out of class, then we can go out to eat together.]

Song Yang: okok

After sending the message, Song Yang tried to convince himself not to overthink it, then looked up to focus on the laning phase again, and then...

He found that his screen was completely black, while the support player he was laning against was already furiously hurling insults.

[Support: I used my skills so well, and you suddenly went AFK...]

[Support: I'll f*** your mother!]

[Support: *******]

The string of censored characters is enough to show just how angry the support player is.

Song Yang didn't dare to talk back. He silently muted his teammates and continued to focus on laning... However, his previous AFK allowed the enemy marksman to get fed, and with the enemy jungler frequently ganking, Song Yang was essentially in jail for the rest of the game.

Looking at their team's crystal that had been destroyed in one fell swoop, looking at their dismal battle record, and then thinking about how Chocolate was going to film a video with other guys that afternoon...

"Damn it." Song Yang slammed his fist on the table and growled in frustration.

……

3pm.

Chen Yan sat on the sofa on the first floor, casually flipping through the magazines he had taken from the bookshelf. Less than ten minutes later, he saw a familiar figure walk in from outside the door.

“Here.” He put down the magazine and waved towards the chocolate.

"Boss!" Chocolate trotted over excitedly, her face full of anticipation. "What are we filming today?"

For some reason, Chocolate's actions and expressions reminded Chen Yan of the little country dogs... When they see someone coming home, those little dogs would eagerly run over.

When Chen Yan encounters a small mongrel like this, he usually reaches out and pets its head without hesitation.

So he subconsciously reached out and patted Chocolate's head.

Chocolate, who was originally full of excitement, froze when Chen Yan reached out his hand, and his mind went into a mental storm.

'What, what is the boss doing...?'

Chocolate immediately thought of many possibilities. After receiving the signing invitation from [Hengxing Media], she had done a series of researches on the influencer industry and learned about some of the chaotic signs in the industry.

That’s why…

'Is the boss trying to take advantage of me?' Chocolate bit her lip, planning to turn around and run away as soon as things went wrong.

Surely they wouldn't arrest her in the street so early in the morning?

However, the moment Chen Yan placed her hand on Chocolate's head... all the thoughts that had been piling up in her mind were cleared away in an instant, and at the same time, a tingling sensation quickly surged from her scalp to all parts of her body.

'So comfortable... What's going on...' Chocolate felt completely lost and empty, and the pleasant feeling made her unable to even muster the slightest thought of resistance.

After finally regaining some clarity, she quickly realized something was wrong...

The boss didn't seem like someone involved in any underhanded dealings; instead, he seemed more like someone petting her cat or dog at home...

"Boss," she called softly.

"Oh." Chen Yan seemed to only just realize what was happening, withdrew his hand, and said gently, "Sorry, you're so cute, I couldn't resist touching you a couple of times."

Chocolate pursed her lips and said softly with a hint of resentment, "Boss, are you thinking about your cats and dogs at home?"

"Hmm?" Chen Yan raised an eyebrow. Although his tone was questioning, his expression suggested that his confusion wasn't due to the absurdity of her question, but rather, "How did you figure that out?"

Chocolate was unsure of what emotion to express.

Good news: The boss had no intention of taking advantage of her.

Bad news: It seems the boss doesn't treat her like a human being either.

"Okay, let's go change our clothes first, we'll be getting ready to film soon."

……

Today, Chen Yan plans to have the photographer take pictures of Chocolate, which is one of the most captivating dances in the second half of the season, "Dream Inspiration".

Dura dance.

With its catchy music and dance, the Duro dance series of videos has achieved considerable success... While no single video has reached tens of millions of likes, quite a few have garnered several million likes.

At the same time, based on Chen Yan's observation of the chocolate dance video, he was certain that the other person had a strong infectiousness when dancing. This infectiousness, combined with the magic of the dance, might achieve a result greater than the sum of its parts.

……

Soon, Chocolate came out of the changing room.

A baseball cap, a white T-shirt, and a black pleated skirt, paired with her tanned skin, exuded vitality.

When the two arrived at the photography base, the female photographer who had been in charge of filming the hip-shaking dance last time was already waiting.

"I'll demonstrate once, and you can follow along."

Chen Yan didn't know how to describe the dance, so he simply demonstrated it himself.

After all, with his current level of control over his body, he can become quite proficient at a dance that lasts about ten seconds after practicing it four or five times.

Chocolate stood to the side, obediently watching Chen Yan finish his dance.

The dance wasn't very difficult, and she felt she could learn it quickly, but...

Can this kind of dance, which looks so strange, really become popular?
This thought only flashed through Chocolate's mind for less than a second, after all, Chen Yan's previous scheme had already proven everything.

She doesn't understand the appeal of this dance; it must be because she's not smart enough and can't see through the market.

"I should be able to master it quickly after practicing a few times."

As Chocolate spoke, she jumped up, mimicking Chen Yan's earlier actions.

It must be said that she does have considerable talent in dancing; after practicing two or three times, she was already dancing quite well. Of course, she was still slightly short of Chen Yan's standard.

"Bend your legs a little more..."

"You can make the movements a little bigger here..." Chen Yan carefully observed Chocolate and corrected her movements one by one.

However, actions are difficult to fully reproduce using only verbal descriptions.

After Chocolate finished dancing for the tenth time, Chen Yan still gently shook his head.

"Boss, how about I practice for another half hour..." she said cautiously, biting her lip.

"If your movements aren't correct, practicing more times won't yield much benefit." Chen Yan hesitated for a moment, then said, "Try it again, in slow motion, and I'll help you correct your movements."

"Ah..." Chocolate was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Chen Yan meant.

Weren't we just making corrections?

Although she didn't understand Chen Yan's meaning, Chocolate still jumped up in slow motion, blindly trusting him, and as her body slightly crouched down...

"Stop." Chen Yan called out to stop them, then quickly stepped forward and asked, "I'm going to help you adjust your movements. Do you have any problems?"

"No," Chocolate answered instinctively, but as soon as the words left her mouth, she realized something was wrong.

Adjusting the movements means there will be physical contact between the two, even though last time they kept the distance between them from a distance...

Before she could figure it out, Chen Yan's hand was already on her calf.

The next second, that familiar tingling sensation surged through Chocolate's body again, and this time the feeling was several times stronger than before.

Previously, she had only felt comfortable enough to clear her mind, but this time she felt a faint electric current flowing through her entire body, stimulating her so much that she couldn't help but tremble slightly.

If the level of stimulation were just a little higher, Chocolate felt he could scream out in pleasure.

"Don't move." Chen Yan pressed down, and after confirming that everything was alright, he said, "Hold this position..."

"Hmm... okay." Chocolate's voice was weak, giving the impression of trembling.

"What's wrong? Are you too tired?" Chen Yan stood up, looked at Chocolate's flushed face, and said, "Do you want to rest for a while?"

"I'm not tired, I just need to go to the bathroom." Chocolate rubbed his legs. "I'll be quick, it'll only take five minutes."

"Okay, you should know where the toilet is, right?"

"I know, I'll be right back." After receiving Chen Yan's permission, Chocolate ran out of the filming location with lightning speed.

She went into the restroom, closed the door, took off her skirt, and looked down...

There was a small dark area on the white underwear.

"Oh no, how embarrassing." Chocolate pursed her lips, her already flushed face turning even redder, as if it could bleed.

……

After Chocolate returned from the restroom, the filming schedule suddenly sped up.

The filming was completed in less than twenty minutes, and only post-production editing was required.

"Okay." Chen Yan gave a thumbs-up, then glanced at the time. "It's almost lunchtime. How about we go out for a meal together? We can see the finished product right afterward."

"Maybe not, I made plans to eat with my boyfriend," Chocolate said softly, declining the offer.

"Okay, then go pick up your partner first, and I'll send you the finished product later." Chen Yan nodded, waved, and signaled that he was leaving get off work.

"Goodbye, boss." After saying goodbye, Chocolate had a "working person" smile on his face as he left work, picked up his small bag, and jogged towards the elevator.

'What a little dog!' Chen Yan couldn't help but think to himself as he watched Chocolate's energetic back.

……

When Chocolate arrived at the school gate in a Didi (ride-hailing service), Song Yang was already waiting there.

Chocolate opened the car door and waved to Song Yang, who was standing outside, saying, "Hurry up, let's go to Haidilao for hot pot tonight."

As soon as Song Yang got into the car, he asked impatiently:

How did the filming go today?

Although he asked about the filming situation, Song Yang was more interested in how Chocolate and Chen Yan were getting along... He didn't want Chen Yan to make a move on him without him even showing up once.

"Ah, I can't tell either, but Chen Yan is so talented, he shouldn't be bad, right?"

To be honest, Chocolate wasn't very optimistic about the last strange dance video either. The only reason she still had some hope was because of her trust in Chen Yan.

However, the second half of her sentence made Song Yang think more...

'He's so talented...'

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Song Yang changed the subject, but a little thought was brewing in his mind.

'Hopefully, this video won't get too good a score.' Song Yang had a little scheme in mind. If the video's score was even slightly lower, he could find a way to break down the filter of talent that Chocolate had in mind regarding Chen Yan.

……

Thirty minutes later.

Chocolate and Song Yang sat at Haidilao, looking at the steaming hot pot, chatting in a very pleasant atmosphere.

Just as Chocolate was about to talk to Song Yang about their future and imagine a wonderful life together, the "beep" of her phone message pulled her out of her reverie.

[Chen Yan: The video has been released. What do you think of the results?]

"So fast." Chocolate muttered to himself, sent a "received" emoji, and eagerly clicked on the [musical note].

If you click on the "Works" section, the latest work already has over 20,000 likes.

'This increase is a bit too sharp,' Chocolate muttered to himself, then clicked on the video.

"Dula...Dula..."

The catchy music started playing, and the highly infectious dance by Chocolate created a rather subtle chemical reaction.

The ten-second video was quickly watched, and at the same time, Chocolate's premonition became clearer.

It seems like I'm about to become famous again...

"Ah!" After a soft cheer, Chocolate couldn't wait to share her joy with those around her. She gently punched Song Yang's shoulder and exclaimed excitedly, "Song Yang, look!"

Without even mentioning it, from the moment she clicked on the video, Song Yang had been glued to her phone. If the video was even slightly bad, he would exaggerate it.

only……

Looking at this addictive video and the rapidly increasing number of likes and comments, he shared the same premonition as Chocolate.

This video looks like it's going to go viral.

This thought gave Song Yang a sense of defeat... Why did Chen Yan, who already possessed outstanding looks and abundant wealth, still have such outstanding talent in making videos?

'Looks, wealth, talent... If only one of these were mine, how wonderful that would be.' Song Yang couldn't help but murmur to himself.

Even his most prized asset, his good looks, paled in comparison to Chen Yan...

He knew very well that once Chen Yan really developed feelings for chocolate, he would be completely outmatched and powerless against him.

He wasn't doubting Chocolate's feelings for him, but... to be fair, how many people could resist the sudden pursuit of someone whose looks, wealth, and talent far surpassed their partner?
Moreover, he and Chocolate met in college and dated for only two years. Could the depth of their feelings really withstand such a condescending attack?

This feeling of powerlessness, where one can only place their hopes on the other party's morality, suddenly made Song Yang, who was in a fairly good mood, feel depressed.

……

the other side.

Chen Yan lay back in his office chair, his laziness acting up again, and decided to order takeout to make do.

Given his current physical condition, even if the outside environment is extremely dirty, it probably won't have any effect on him.

"Fried chicken... stir-fried pork... rice bowl..."

Just as Chen Yan was choosing his dinner, he suddenly received a new message.

[Teacher Shen: Xiaoyan, are you free tonight?]

[Teacher Shen: If you have time, I'll pick you up for dinner. I haven't properly thanked you for what happened last time.]

"Whoa!" Chen Yan straightened up, his interest piqued.

After helping Shen Shulan last time and adding her as a friend, Chen Yan thought that Shen Shulan had almost forgotten about it because she hadn't messaged him for a long time.

After sending the message to Shen Shulan, Chen Yan pondered for a moment, then quickly walked to the wardrobe, preparing to change into a new outfit.

……

Half an hour later.

After driving to the location sent by Chen Yan, Shen Shulan carefully looked around and soon spotted Chen Yan, her eyes lighting up.

The other person was standing under the tree, wearing a black base layer, casual trousers, and a white shirt. His wispy bangs slightly covered his forehead, and although they looked a little messy, they added a touch of youthful unruliness to his tall figure and handsome appearance.

People often envy what they have lost, and Shen Shulan was no exception. Looking at the youthful energy of the other person, her eyes first flashed with amazement, and then with envy.

She was once just as young, but alas, flowers may bloom again, but youth never returns...

After admiring the scene quietly for about half a minute, she suddenly remembered that she had invited the other person to dinner today, and hurriedly said, "Xiao Yan, over here."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Chen Yan turn his head and look over. A smile appeared on his face, and then he took a few quick steps and ran over.

Chen Yan opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and politely greeted, "Teacher Shen."

"No need to be so formal," Shen Shulan said with a smile. "Just call me Sister Shulan..."

Halfway through her sentence, Shen Shulan suddenly paused, then couldn't help but laugh at herself inwardly.

"You forget your age just because you see young people, huh? Making them call you 'sister'? Don't let them secretly laugh at you later."

Just as she was about to change her address to "Aunt Shen" from Chen Yan's, Chen Yan had already changed his address beforehand.

"Sister Shulan."

"What 'sister'? My child is already in the first year of high school," Shen Shulan said self-deprecatingly. "At my age, you should call me 'auntie'."

'You already have a child?' Chen Yan was slightly startled, and then a strong sense of excitement surged into his heart.

Oh, mother!
Of course, his emotional intelligence wasn't so low that he would actually call Shen Shulan "Auntie".

"Ah, I thought Sister Shulan was only in her early thirties." Chen Yan showed a perfectly timed look of surprise. "If I walked with Sister Shulan, nine out of ten people would think we were siblings."

Seeing Chen Yan's sincere expression, Shen Shulan felt a little embarrassed, but also a little smug.

Over the years, she has consistently engaged in appropriate exercise and beauty treatments, and has achieved her own results in anti-aging.

However, they didn't delve into the topic further and instead asked, "Xiao Yan, do you have any dietary restrictions?"

"No, I eat everything."

"Okay, I know a Western restaurant that has really good food. How about we have steak?"

"it is good."

After a few brief words, Shen Shulan decided on her destination and stepped on the gas, heading towards the Western restaurant.

……

On the way to the Western restaurant, the traffic was quite congested due to the evening rush hour, so the two of them chatted in the car.

The topic was brought up by Shen Shulan first.

"Xiao Yan, where are you from?"

"Fengning, Sister Shulan is..."

……

During the chat, Chen Yan also subtly gathered a lot of information.

For example, Shen Shulan's son is a high school freshman this year. His grades are very poor. She paid to get him into the bottom class in high school, and he consistently ranks in the bottom five of the class in every monthly exam.

The worst class was already the worst class, and even within the worst class, they were still in the bottom five...

When faced with parents expressing their helplessness regarding their child's academic performance, it's usually best to start with something like "the value of academic qualifications has seriously diminished," followed by something like "with you by his side, his starting point is already an end point that many people can never reach in their entire lives," which can smoothly transition the conversation.

Besides talking about her child's studies, Shen Shulan also told him a lot about Jianghai University of Electronic Science and Technology from more than ten years ago. After all, she graduated from that school and even worked as a teacher there for a period of time after graduation.

With this kind of relationship in place, as long as the atmosphere of the conversation is good enough, it's easy to get closer to each other.

Chen Yan was undoubtedly a good listener, and he would give timely responses to encourage Shen Shulan's desire to chat, so the atmosphere in the car was quite pleasant.

Although the evening rush hour was still severe, the Western restaurant wasn't far away, and after crawling along for a while, I arrived at my destination without incident.

(I'm still not feeling well; my stomach feels really weak, and I get bloated all the time. Considering I still managed to update 8,000 words despite being sick, please give me a vote.)
