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

Chapter 151 Relationship Breakdown (Part 1)

Chen Yan didn't say anything, but simply placed the camera in front of him, right in the middle of the three of them, so that everyone could see the video.

This makes things much more convenient for both Qingqing and Chen Yan...

However, according to the law of conservation of convenience, if the other two people present have relieved themselves, then the remaining person will not be able to...

Chocolate was carefully watching the video and listening attentively to Chen Yan's debriefing when she suddenly noticed that the camera had moved to the left, further away from her.

Chocolate: o((⊙﹏⊙))o.
After a moment of stunned silence, she immediately realized the whole story and glared at Qingqing with eyes that seemed to be spitting fire.

But Qingqing ignored her, looking like she was "going to study hard".

Chocolate was so angry that she couldn't even listen to the debriefing properly; all she could think about was how to win back a city.

'Damn it, so what if their account performance is just a little bit better than mine? What are they pretending for!'

Chocolate was already cursing in his mind, and at the same time, the unease was growing stronger.

Now that Qingqing can intervene in his filming plans and even influence Chen Yan's review of her performance, what will happen in the future?

Will they take away even the shooting plans that should belong to us in the future?

Although he didn't have a good impression of Qingqing, Chocolate was quite confident in Chen Yan's talent. Since Chen Yan thought the other party had potential and had already made a hit video, it meant that the other party's future must be bright.

Now that the other side has already taken the lead by striking later, if I continue to stick to the old way of making videos, won't the gap just keep widening?

Thinking of this, Chocolate felt a moment of confusion. Before she could come up with a good solution, she saw Chen Yan pause the video and turn to look at her.

"Chocolate, the video review is over. Do you have any questions?"

"Huh?" Chocolate was dumbfounded. She had been so focused on being angry with Qingqing that she hadn't paid any attention to Chen Yan's explanation. Now that she had just come to her senses, the debriefing was already over.

"I... I forgot some parts, could you explain it again?" Chocolate lowered her head, her voice growing softer and softer.

'How embarrassing! I had to go through a ten-second video all over again.' Chocolate felt ashamed and was also afraid of being scolded by Chen Yan.

but……,

"Okay, then tell me again." Chen Yan's tone was quite gentle, and he added with concern, "You don't seem to be in the right state of mind today. Is it because you haven't rested well these past two days?"

"Yeah, I haven't been feeling well these past couple of days," Chocolate quickly nodded in agreement.

"If you're not feeling well, you can take a day off. It's okay if the video is filmed a little later."

Faced with Chen Yan's concern, Chocolate felt a little embarrassed, and at the same time, she couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

How could she dare to ask for leave? She was already being thoroughly outmaneuvered by Qingqing. If she were to "go offline" for a while longer, wouldn't she just be playing second fiddle to Qingqing when she came back?

Chen Yan then began his second explanation.

The camera screen wasn't very big, and Chocolate was a fist's distance away from Chen Yan, so it wasn't very convenient to watch.

'I can't ask the boss to explain it a third time, but I really can't see it clearly...' Chocolate gritted her teeth, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw that Qingqing was already pressed close to Chen Yan, so she made up her mind.

'I just want to make it easier to correct my mistakes.' After giving herself a reason, Chocolate began to move closer to Chen Yan.

Once the bottom line is broken, the speed of "degeneration" will only accelerate.

The distance between the two kept shrinking, from a fist's width to three fingers, then to one finger, and finally...

The moment Chocolate's left shoulder touched Chen Yan's right shoulder, Chocolate hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and stubbornly chose not to move any further.

At the same time, she felt as if a subtle electric current was flowing into the part of her body that was in contact with Chen Yan, flowing into her body along the point of contact and spreading throughout her entire body.

This feeling was so comforting that Chocolate's whole body trembled slightly involuntarily.

Suppressing the urge to scream with pleasure, Chocolate finally listened to the full recap of the video...

"That's all. Any other questions?" Chen Yan pressed the pause button and asked, "If you have any questions, just ask, and we'll resolve them all at once."

"No... Ha... No problem."

After the debriefing, Chocolate stood up as if electrocuted and hurriedly ran towards the filming location.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to turn her back to Chen Yan while heading to the filming location, Chocolate finally no longer had to suppress her feelings.

The chocolate shoot was a great success. After watching the entire shoot, Chen Yan nodded, confirming that it was ready.

"Okay, you two did a great job shooting today. That's all for today." Chen Yan stood up, stretched, and gave the cinematographer instructions on the editing techniques and background music needed for the two videos, asking him to relay them directly to the editing department.

As for Qingqing and Chocolate, they walked together into the elevator.

……

In the elevator.

"Chocolate, you're amazing! You got the video right in just two takes." As soon as the elevator doors closed, Qingqing started praising her, saying, "Unlike me, I have to film a video more than ten times and I still might not get it right."

Seeing Qingqing's sarcastic remarks about how useless she was and how she always dragged the team down, Chocolate wanted nothing more than to tear her mouth off, but...

"Calm down, calm down. Losing your temper now will only make you a laughingstock," Chocolate kept telling herself, managing to force a smile.

"It's okay. I didn't perform well at first either. As I film more and gain more experience, I'll naturally improve."

"That's good. I hope I can do that too." Qingqing took out her phone and said, "By the way, let's add each other's contact information. Maybe we can exchange experiences in the future."

"Okay." Chocolate scanned Qingqing's user code, and before the friend request could be accepted, the elevator doors slowly opened with a "ding".

"I'm leaving now, bye-bye." Qingqing waved and walked out of the photo studio first. Chocolate stood there, feeling utterly miserable.

She was in a good mood today, since every time Chen Yan invited her to film a video, it meant that she would have another new video that could get more than a million likes.

She also made plans with Song Yang to have lunch together... partly to reassure Song Yang, and partly to share her joy with him.

I never expected to run into my competitor here, which completely ruined my good mood for the day.

Chocolate took two deep breaths, finally calming herself down. Just as she was about to hail a taxi and leave, she saw that Qingqing had accepted her friend request.

For some unknown reason, Chocolate subconsciously clicked on Qingqing's WeChat Moments.

Qingqing doesn't post on WeChat Moments very often, usually only one or two posts a month. The last time she posted was five days ago.

However, when Chocolate saw Qingqing's latest post, her emotions, which had finally calmed down, were stirred up again.

Her latest post consists of two photos: a screenshot of her income and a picture of a red Porsche Macan.

The accompanying text reads "A gift for those who strive."

Looking at the gleaming screenshot of her income, Chocolate was dumbfounded. Although she knew that her account performance had been surpassed by Qingqing, she had become famous earlier and received more commercial orders than Qingqing. As a result, she was actually behind Qingqing in terms of income.

'Is this how fast you can get by taking shortcuts?' Chocolate was somewhat discouraged, so much so that she even considered taking the same shortcut as the other person.

Of course, this thought was forcibly suppressed by chocolate in less than a minute.

'What am I thinking? I have a boyfriend, I can't do something that would betray Song Yang.'

Just then, her Didi ride finally arrived. As she got in the car, she suddenly had the urge to go home and get a good night's sleep. If she hadn't already made plans to have lunch with Song Yang, she would have gone straight home right now.

……

After getting off the bus at the school gate, Chocolate quickly spotted Song Yang.

The other person was sitting on a chair at the bus stop, engrossed in playing on their phone, completely unaware that I was only five steps away.

Chocolate calmed herself down and then quickly walked to Song Yang's side.

"Song Yang," she called softly.

Upon hearing his girlfriend's voice, Song Yang immediately looked up, then quickly looked down again, saying while continuing to play his game, "Xiao Yun, wait a moment, I'll finish this game soon."

As Chocolate watched Song Yang's current state, her mood worsened.

Song Yang's hair was so greasy it could be used for cooking; it looked messy, and he had a faint smell of smoke on him. His white shirt had traces of dried "braised beef noodle soup" on it.

It's obvious that Song Yang spent last night in an internet cafe, and it's even very likely that he just came out of one.

This made Chocolate very angry. After all, she would put on makeup and dress up specially for this date, while Song Yang didn't even want to wash his hair. He even stayed up all night at an internet cafe the night before the date, which clearly showed that he didn't care about this date at all.

Chocolate is the kind of person who values ​​rituals, and Song Yang's obviously indifferent attitude touched a nerve with her.

If it were just that, Chocolate could manage to complain a bit without arguing, given her ability to control her emotions. However, since Qingqing had already made her very angry, Song Yang's actions at this moment were undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire of her already simmering anger.

"Stop playing games." Chocolate's voice was urgent as she snatched Song Yang's phone and said, "I told you yesterday that we would have lunch together today, and here you are today?"
Did you value this date? Did you respect me?

"I really value this date," Song Yang said anxiously, quickly trying to explain to Chocolate.

Of course, what worried him wasn't that Chocolate was angry, but that the game was about to start a team fight... He had worked hard to level up for twenty minutes and finally made it to the team fight, but now his phone was gone.

In order to get his phone back, he quickly said, "Yunbao, believe me, I really valued this date, but I really couldn't help it yesterday. My friends insisted on dragging me out, and we ended up playing games all night. I really couldn't do it this time. I promise I won't do it again next time."

Song Yang felt his attitude this time was very sincere and genuine. But in Chocolate's eyes, it was full of flaws. She didn't give Song Yang any face and directly called him out:
"What, your friends will cut ties with you if you miss one date? Even if you go to an internet cafe to play games, does it have to be all night? Is it so hard to be home before midnight, wash up, and treat our date today properly?"

"Okay, okay, it's all my fault. I won't do it again." Song Yang was so anxious that he was jumping around like a monkey, constantly apologizing.

But seeing that Chocolate didn't seem to be returning the phone to him, and thinking about the upcoming team battle, he steeled himself and reached out to take the phone back.

Chocolate instinctively raised her phone over her shoulder, but the physical differences between men and women meant that her action had no real effect. Song Yang quickly changed direction and snatched the phone away.

However, because the phone had been on the left side of Chocolate's cheek, and because Song Yang was in a hurry, his hand brushed against Chocolate's cheek when he took the phone back.

"You hit me?" Chocolate looked at Song Yang in disbelief.

However, Song Yang did not look at her face at this moment, but instead quickly unlocked the screen password.

But it was still too late.

When Song Yang successfully entered the game, the enemy's crystal had already been destroyed, and his teammates even reported him for AFK (away from keyboard).

For a moment, Song Yang felt utterly despondent.

This game wasn't easy. He was targeted by the enemy team the whole time. He finally managed to withstand the pressure and get his equipment. He was just waiting to have some fun in the team fight. But when the team fight finally came, his phone was taken away by Chocolate.

It's like watching a porn movie. You finally get through the plot and buildup, and just when things are about to get really intense, the website gets reported and goes 404.

Song Yang blushed slightly. Before he could control his emotions, he saw Chocolate looking at him with a face full of grief and indignation.

"You hit me?" Chocolate repeated what she had just said.

"I...I didn't." Song Yang took a deep breath and explained, "You were the one who put the phone there. When I came to get it, my hand accidentally brushed against your face. I didn't hit you."

"So it's my fault?" Chocolate asked coldly.

These words completely stunned Song Yang. He took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Yun, can't we be reasonable?"
