Xiu Gou's Taming Record

It was a bit chilly at night, so Yu Heng took out his cigarette case, shook out a cigarette, and put it in his mouth.

He just kept it in his mouth, thinking about what had just happened.

He was very familiar with many of Qin Lu's reactions.

Is it true that highly educated women are the hardest hit group?

The pressure is immense, and the public persona is exhausting, leading to a stark contrast in their private lives.

Given her attitude today, how she'll start next time is a question.

Let's take a step by step.

When Yu Heng returned to the villa, it was almost eleven o'clock.

He took out his keys and opened the door; only a wall lamp was left on in the living room.

Bai Xinran was sitting at the dining table eating a late-night snack.

A bowl of instant noodles, with an egg added.

Hearing the door open, she looked up: "You're back?"

She spoke softly, picking up a mouthful of noodles with her chopsticks and putting it in her mouth.

"Hmm." Yu Heng changed his shoes and casually draped his coat over the back of the chair. "Just finished your live stream?"

"About half an hour ago." Bai Xinran slurped up a mouthful of noodles, her gaze drifting over again. "Watched a movie and stayed up this late?"

Yu Heng sat down opposite her and rubbed his temples. "Ah, right."

He didn't explain much.

Bai Xinran raised an eyebrow: "What, is something else?"

"No." Yu Heng didn't want to elaborate and changed the subject, "How's your live stream tonight?"

"Not bad, turnover is over eight thousand." Bai Xinran put down her chopsticks, took a tissue to wipe her mouth, and said, "A few new captains have joined, all here to help with the character design."

As she spoke, she glanced at Yu Heng.

This guy has a very faint fragrance about him.

It wasn't the smell of his usual shower gel, nor was it the smell of smoke.

Is it the scent of a woman's perfume?

Jasmine mixed with sandalwood, and a hint of rose.

Bai Xinran has a very sensitive nose; she is extremely sensitive to smells.

This fragrance is mature.

Qin Lu's face flashed through her mind.

When Qin Lu came this afternoon, she seemed to smell like this.

So Yu Heng came back to...

Bai Xinran pursed her lips, not wanting to think about it any further.

What does it have to do with her?

However... it's not entirely none of her business, is it?

"Oh, right," Yu Heng suddenly said, "we're going to a club recruitment event tomorrow, so you'll have to get up early."

"How early?" Bai Xinran asked.

"Around 7:30," Yu Heng said, taking out his phone to check the time. "We need to go to the GG store on the commercial street to pick up the roll-up banners and posters first, and then set up our stall at the event center before 9:00."

"Okay," Bai Xinran replied, picking up the bowl and heading to the kitchen to wash it.

Yu Heng remained seated, then took out his phone and glanced at WeChat.

Ning Yutong sent a message an hour ago: "Yu Heng, are you alright? Have you finished dealing with things? (｡•́︿•̀｡)"

It was followed by a worried kitten emoji.

Yu Heng typed back: "Nothing's wrong, it's all taken care of. Have you finished watching your movie?"

The message was sent out and received a reply almost instantly.

"I've finished watching it! 'The Truman Show' is so good, I cried when he walked out of that door at the end QAQ"

"I'm so glad you're alright. I was worried about you."

Are you coming to the club's recruitment event tomorrow?

As Yu Heng looked at this series of messages, the corners of his mouth unconsciously curled up.

This girl really cares about him.

"Come on," he replied, "tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, at the activity center entrance, our club's booth."

"Okay! I'll go over early tomorrow to help! (๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧"

"Okay, get some rest."

"You too! Goodnight!"

Yu Heng put down his phone, looked up, and saw that Bai Xinran had already washed the dishes and come out of the kitchen.

She was standing by the kitchen counter, wiping her hands with a towel.

The loose hem of her T-shirt rode up slightly with her movements, revealing a glimpse of her fair waist.

Yu Heng's gaze lingered on that section of the waist; this kind of view seemed to have become quite common at home lately.

"What are you looking at?" Bai Xinran hung up the towel and glared at him.

"Your waist is so slim," Yu Heng said frankly.

"You rascal," Bai Xinran cursed, but there was no anger on her face. She turned and walked towards her room. "I'm going to sleep. See you tomorrow!"

"Mm." Yu Heng waved his hand.

After Bai Xinran's room door closed, Yu Heng sat in the living room for a while longer.

His mind was a mess.

From the escape room trip in the afternoon until Qin Lu pulled that stunt for him that evening.

That evening, he and Qin Lu were up to their own business again.

Today was such a dramatic day.

and also……

He glanced down at his phone.

In my WeChat contact list, Shen Yueling's profile picture is quiet; they haven't been chatting much lately.

I haven't even sent a single message today.

I wonder what that girl has been doing these past two days.

Yu Heng sighed, got up and went back to his room, closing the door behind him.

The room was dark, and he threw his phone on the bed but didn't lie down.

Instead, he went to the window and lit a cigarette, the embers flickering in the darkness.

After taking a couple of puffs, he took out his phone and opened WeChat.

In the pinned chat, Qin Lu's profile picture remained quiet.

He stared at it for a few seconds, then typed.

"How is it?"

send.

A red exclamation mark immediately appeared before the message.

The following line of smaller text reads: "The message has been sent, but was rejected by the recipient."

Yu Heng was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening.

Blocked?

Tsk.

He twitched the corner of his mouth.

This woman is quick.

Fine!

Ask someone else!

He exited the chat with Qin Lu, scrolled down, and found Qin Ya.

I opened the message and typed: "Is your mother making any noise?"

The message was sent, but there was no immediate reply.

Yu Heng stood by the window, a cigarette dangling from his lips, waiting.

The cigarette ash had piled up quite a bit and was about to fall off when my phone vibrated.

Qin Ya really wasn't asleep.

Qin Ya: "Report, no."

Yu Heng typed: "Didn't you go check?"

Qin Ya: "I'd like to go see her, but if she knew I hadn't slept, she'd be even more embarrassed."

Qin Ya: "In order to ensure there's a next time for you, I'd better not go."

Yu Heng grinned as he read the message.

This girl is quite considerate at times like this.

He replied, "Your mom blocked me."

Qin Ya: "That's normal procedure. She's concerned about her image, so we need to give her a couple of days off."

Qin Ya: "Don't worry, she'll be fine after she digests it."

Yu Heng: "Why should I be in such a hurry?"

Qin Ya: "Then why are you asking me about my mom's movements?"

Yu Heng choked.

He stubbed out his cigarette and typed: "Okay, go to sleep."

Qin Ya: "Oh, and what about you? Can you sleep?"

Yu Heng: "..."

Qin Ya: "Hehe, goodnight, brother."

Yu Heng did not reply.

He logged out of WeChat, threw his phone back onto the bed, and lay down as well.

Tomorrow is the club's recruitment day. Will Qin Lu, as the advisor, be there?

We'll have to see each other again eventually, right?
