Chapter 172 Why did you send me something like this?
"I'll go make the bed," Bai Xinran said, getting out of bed and walking to the wardrobe to take out clean sheets and duvet covers.
Yu Heng leaned against the headboard and watched her busy herself.
Bai Xinran made the bed quickly and efficiently, unfolding the sheets and smoothing out the four corners.
When she bent over, the hem of her pajamas rode up a little, revealing a section of her lower back.
The skin appears very white under warm lighting.
Yu Heng looked away and picked up his phone to take another look.
Shen Yueling replied with a message: "Understood."
Just three words, and you can't tell the emotion behind them.
Yu Heng knew she was definitely a little unhappy, but that was that.
She's not the type to cause trouble; at most, she'll roll her eyes at him during dinner tomorrow.
Bai Xinran made the bed and turned around: "It's ready."
"Okay," Yu Heng put his phone back, "Let's turn off the lights."
Bai Xinran walked to the door and turned off the overhead light, leaving only a small nightlight on the bedside table.
The room darkened, the light becoming dim and yellowish.
She climbed into bed and lay down next to Yu Heng, instinctively leaning closer to him.
Yu Heng reached out and hugged her, his fingers gently stroking her arm.
"Go to sleep," he said.
"Mmm." Bai Xinran closed her eyes.
She was actually wondering if Shen Yueling would be angry.
But Yu Heng's body temperature gradually made her relax.
Anyway, if the sky falls, the master will hold it up; she just needs to be obedient.
Thinking this way, her breathing gradually became steady.
Yu Heng listened to her even breathing, his hand still resting on her waist.
He didn't sleep either, going over the next plan in his mind.
The weekend ceremony needs to be prepared, the guild's expansion needs to be accelerated, and there's also Ning Yutong's situation...
He frowned, and his fingers twitched unconsciously.
Bai Xinran murmured softly in her sleep and snuggled even deeper into his arms.
Yu Heng snapped out of his daze and looked down at the person in his arms.
Bai Xinran has talent, but he doesn't know if Ning Yutong does, though he does know that Ning Yutong has desire.
If liking him and wanting to be with him is an emotional need, then she must also have physical needs.
Her performance is proof of that.
Did I feel ashamed of Ning Yutong's behavior?
Actually, he didn't think so; it was just a tactic.
After all, what he wanted wasn't just sex; she would give him everything he was entitled to beyond being a couple.
In his own opinion, this behavior was at least more honest than those who used the guise of romance to deceive others.
We were both in relationships, but in the end, he confessed that he actually had another girlfriend?
And then they all acquiesced?
Or perhaps they share a tumultuous love story, only to eventually shake hands and make peace.
Then everyone looked at the camera and said, "Let's make dumplings together?"
That's pure nonsense.
It all depends on whether Ning Yutong can come to a realization and accept it.
Bai Xinran slept even more soundly.
He adjusted his posture and closed his eyes.
-
The next morning, Bai Xinran woke up earlier than Yu Heng.
She lay on her side, looking at Yu Heng's sleeping face.
It's time to wake the owner up.
Bai Xinran thought for a moment, then quietly lifted the blanket and slid under it.
Yu Heng opened his eyes, and as his consciousness returned, his physical sensations became clearer.
He placed his hand on her forehead and looked at the ceiling.
This way of waking up is something I haven't felt in a long time.
After a while, he reached out and patted the blanket.
"Alright," Yu Heng's voice was a little hoarse, "come on up."
Bai Xinran crawled out from under the covers, her hair a little messy. She looked up at him and said, "You're awake."
Yu Heng reached out and pulled her up, embracing her in his arms.
"What time is it?" he asked.
Bai Xinran turned her head and glanced at the phone on the bedside table: "7:20."
"It's time to get up," Yu Heng said.
Bai Xinran hummed in agreement and pressed her face against his chest.
She could hear Yu Heng's heartbeat and feel her ears getting hot.
The two lay there for a few more minutes before getting up to wash and brush their teeth.
When I went downstairs, Shen Yueling was already in the kitchen.
The aroma of fried eggs wafted out, along with the dinging of the toaster.
Yu Heng walked into the kitchen, where Shen Yueling was putting fried eggs into a plate.
She glanced at him but didn't say anything.
"Good morning," Yu Heng said.
Shen Yueling placed the plate on the counter and turned to get the bread.
Bai Xinran followed in: "Sister Yue Ling, let me help."
"No need," Shen Yueling said, "It'll be ready soon."
Her tone was very ordinary, but Bai Xinran could still sense something different.
Shen Yueling took out the toasted bread slices, her movements unhurried, but she didn't look at Yu Heng.
Yu Heng walked behind her, held onto the edge of the kitchen counter, and surrounded her in the middle.
"Are you angry?" he asked, leaning down to her ear.
Shen Yueling paused for a moment: "No."
"Really not?" Yu Heng asked.
"Move aside," Shen Yueling turned around, "I'll carry the plates."
Yu Heng didn't move aside; the two remained very close.
"Ah Ling, your sister Yue Ling seems a little unhappy. Come over and kiss her to cheer her up."
Shen Yueling froze, her face turning bright red.
"You..." She glared at Yu Heng.
Bai Xinran blinked, looked at Yu Heng, and then at Shen Yueling.
Listen to what your master says.
She leaned over and kissed Shen Yueling on the cheek.
Soft and cool.
Shen Yueling froze even more.
"She kissed you," Yu Heng laughed. "What about you? Aren't you going to do something in return?"
Bai Xinran kissed him again, this time on the other cheek.
Shen Yueling's ears turned red.
"Stop fooling around!" She pushed Yu Heng away. "Let's eat! I have class later!"
Yu Heng then stepped aside and watched Shen Yueling pick up the plate and walk towards the restaurant.
"Alright," Yu Heng patted Bai Xinran's head, "Let's go eat."
-
Shen Yueling left after finishing her meal. Yu Heng and Bai Xinran didn't have classes in the morning.
He sat down on the sofa, opened his laptop, and saw several applications from new streamers in the guild's backend.
Bai Xinran finished washing the dishes, dried her hands, and walked over.
"Master, I've made some recruitment posters," she said. "Would you like to take a look?"
Yu Heng beckoned her over.
Bai Xinran sat down on the sofa and handed him her phone.
The screen displayed several design drafts, with professional-looking color schemes and layouts.
"Okay," Yu Heng said, flipping through the list. "Send it to the club group chat and have them post it on various platforms."
"Okay." Bai Xinran took the phone.
Yu Heng smiled and said, "The selection process is now mature. As long as you have streamer resources, you can make money steadily."
Bai Xinran posted the poster to the club group chat and also tagged Wang Luyu and Zhou Mengqi separately.
Wang Luyu quickly replied: "Received, I'll post it on the forum at noon."
Zhou Mengqi sent an emoji: "Leave it to me."
Yu Heng was discussing compensation with an applicant for livestreaming position when his phone rang.
The caller ID showed Zhou Wanyi.
He answered the phone: "Sister-in-law?"
There was a two-second silence on the other end of the phone. Zhou Wanyi's voice was very low, but you could hear the anxiety in it: "Xiaoheng, why did you send me something like this?!"
