Why did the system take my request to take photos with a cosplayer seriously?

She put down her water bottle, took out her phone from her pocket, and swiped a few times: "Here's a new design from the cake shop, take a look and see if it's okay."

Zhao Yanxi took the phone and looked down at it carefully.

The cake has a simple white design, with a line of chocolate text in the center that reads: "Happy Birthday, Hua Qing."

"Wouldn't it be too plain? Should we add a touch of gold or red to make it look more luxurious?"

"That makes sense..."

Lin Man chimed in, "I'll talk to the cake shop again and see if we can add some gold sugar pearls to the edges. It won't overpower the main color, but it will brighten it up."

"Row."

The conversation between the two was calm and natural, without any deliberate warmth or lingering hostility.

Ding Heng watched the interaction between the two and smiled faintly.

Lin Man's social skills are indeed superb...

She never tried to please Zhao Yanxi, but instead showed an attitude of "we are the same kind".

Through daily collaboration, and by showing vulnerability and sincerity at just the right time, he gradually dissipated Zhao Yanxi's defenses.

Even if Zhao Yanxi still harbored resentment, she couldn't find a reason to lash out at Lin Man in this situation.

At 5 p.m., all the setup was finally completed.

The group packed their belongings and prepared to leave.

Hua Yue carried two large bags of trash out first, and Lin Man followed to help. They were both going back to Hubei Normal University, and it was on their way.

Ding Heng picked up the car keys: "Let's go, I'll take you home."

The three of them went downstairs, and as usual, Ding Heng drove, with the two girls sitting together in the back seat.

The car drove out of the residential area and merged into the evening rush hour traffic.

Ding Heng suddenly spoke up: "What do you two think of Lin Man?"

Zhao Yanxi replied lazily, "Why are you suddenly asking this?"

Wenjing answered honestly, "I think Sister Man is really capable. She makes people feel comfortable with her words and actions, and she considers everything carefully. She seems like..."

"Like a ProMax version of Yan hope?"

“I didn’t say that…”

Wenjing pouted, and Zhao Yanxi immediately became unhappy.

She stepped forward and said in a coquettish tone, "Brother Ding Heng~!"

Ding Heng reassured her, "Don't worry, you're only a few years younger than her. After two years of training, you'll definitely be no weaker than her."

"That's more like it."

Zhao Yanxi calmed down a little.

Wenjing's evaluation was generally objective. After all, Lin Man was so popular at school and ran a gaming companion shop, so she must have good skills and emotional intelligence.

Of course, this is also thanks to the influence of her family in the past, especially her mother, who was very capable in making the business of Brilliant Planet thrive.

Wenjing continued, "But I feel that Sister Man sometimes gets particularly stubborn."

Ding Heng raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"

Wenjing recalled, "A couple of days ago, a certain color of ribbon was out of stock. The owner said they would use a similar one instead, but she refused and insisted that the owner order it from another branch. Also, when ordering a cake, because the staff was negligent and didn't record the chocolates she wanted, she immediately complained and demanded that it be sent back for remakes..."

Ding Heng smiled after hearing this.

Just as Lin Man herself said, she was petty, vindictive, and even obsessive.

But considering her family situation, it's not hard to understand.

Zhao Yanxi suddenly asked, "Brother Ding Heng, will we be spending a lot of time with Lin Man in the future?"

Ding Heng countered, "Do you want to spend time with her?"

Zhao Yanxi could not give an answer.

Want to?

I can't say for sure.

Don't you want to?

It seems like they're not that resistant.

The car stopped in front of the main gate of Zhongnan University. Ding Heng reached out and gently rubbed Zhao Yanxi's head: "Why are you worrying about this? It's not like you at all."

"Humph……"

Zhao Yanxi gave a soft hum and playfully stuck out her tongue.

That's true. If I wanted to stay by Ding Heng's side, there was no need for me to be conflicted about Lin Man.

No matter what, she was Ding Heng's first woman.

After escorting the two girls back to their dormitories, Ding Heng didn't rush back but sat quietly in the car waiting.

Judging by the time, it should be about right...

The next second, the phone suddenly vibrated.

[Lin Hu Leads the Way]: [Image]

Ding Heng clicked on the picture.

Lin Man stood in front of Hua Qing's dressing mirror, wearing a light green Hanfu.

Hua Qing's Hanfu...

Lin Man is taller and more voluptuous than Hua Qing, so her clothes look small on her.

With her deliberately exposed shoulders and legs, she completely lacked Hua Qing's ethereal and aloof aura, instead exuding a unique kind of allure.

[Linhu Leads the Way]: Aren't you coming to inspect?

Ding Heng did not reply; he simply put his phone in his pocket and turned the car around again.

Forty minutes later, Ding Heng returned to Hua Qing's building and entered the apartment building.

As the elevator ascends, the numbers on it jump one by one.

"Ding."

The door opened, and the hallway was quiet.

Hua Qing's door was ajar, with a crack deliberately left open.

Ding Heng pushed open the door and entered. The living room was lit by only a few low-wattage warm lights, the light was soft, as if the atmosphere had been adjusted in advance.

Lin Man lay sprawled on the sofa, her waist bound extremely thin by a palace sash, her skirt hanging down to her ankles, revealing a section of her slender ankles wrapped in translucent silk stockings.

"boss."

She raised her head, her foxy eyes gleaming.

Ding Heng walked over and sat down, then casually pulled her onto his lap: "Why are you wearing Hua Qing's clothes?"

Lin Man gently traced circles on Ding Heng's chest with her fingers: "Since you're seeking thrills..."

Ding Heng chuckled softly, his hand sliding from her shoulder to her thigh, gently caressing her.

"Would you like something even more exciting?"

"How to make it exciting?"

"Give."

Ding Heng took an eye mask out of his pocket.

The fabric is black satin with delicate lace trim.

Lin Man immediately understood and, without the slightest hesitation, reached out and took the blindfold and put it on.

The moment the silk blindfold is covered, sight is taken away, and the world is plunged into darkness.

She could feel Ding Heng's hand still resting on her thigh, his palm warm and his fingertips rough.

But we waited for a while.

I waited a while longer.

Ding Heng did not take any further action.

Lin Man's heartbeat gradually calmed down: "Boss? Didn't you say you wanted to seek excitement?"

"What's the rush?"

Ding Heng spoke casually.

Lin Man pursed her lips and said nothing more.

Time passed second by second, and Lin Man's senses became increasingly acute in the darkness, making each second feel incredibly long.

The prolonged darkness stirred a sense of fear within her, and her breathing began to become unsteady.

"Boss... what exactly do you want?"

Suddenly, Ding Heng pinched her thigh hard, causing Lin Man to let out a short moan.

"Hmm! Boss~"

"It's almost time."

Ding Heng's smile was enigmatic...

downstairs.

The new energy vehicle slowly drove into the residential area, and Hua Qing, who had returned early, did not tell anyone.

She had imagined many possibilities, but all of them stopped at the moment she "met Ding Heng".

What kind of surprise did the man prepare for her?

Hua Qing turned off the engine, picked up her phone, and opened Ding Heng's chat window.
