Xiu Gou's Taming Record

Chapter 166 Let's see if it works.

Ning Yutong returned to her dormitory after 7 p.m.

My roommates are all here; one is putting on a face mask, one is watching a TV series, and the other is on the phone.

"You're back?" my roommate mumbled, still wearing a face mask.

"Mm," Ning Yutong responded, hanging up her coat.

"Where did you go? You didn't come back last night, and I haven't seen you all day today."

"At a friend's house," Ning Yutong said.

"Boyfriend?" My roommate, who was engrossed in watching her drama, looked up.

"No," Ning Yutong quickly denied.

"Something's definitely up!" my roommate laughed. "Didn't come home last night! Went to a hotel?"

"No!" Ning Yutong explained, "She really is a classmate, but she rented a place outside."

"Male or female classmates?"

"Oh dear, why are you asking such detailed questions?"

"Something's definitely wrong. Let me check!"

"Stop it, stop it!"

Ning Yutong pushed away her roommate who was rushing towards her with a smile and slipped into the bathroom.

The hot water rinsed down, and my body slowly warmed up.

She looked at herself in the mirror; her cheeks were still red.

I took a long time to shower, and it was already eight o'clock when I came out.

She climbed into bed, drew the curtains, and lay down, determined never to go to Yu Heng's place again!

Yu Heng repacked the samples, took his phone, went to the balcony, and dialed Zhou Wanyi's number.

"Feed?" Zhou Wanyi's voice was a little puzzled. "Xiao Heng?"

"Sister-in-law, are you busy?" Yu Heng leaned against the railing.

"Just got off work," Zhou Wanyi said. "What's up?"

"I sent you something," Yu Heng said. "It should arrive tomorrow."

"What is it?"

"The product I made," Yu Heng said, "can you give it a try?"

Zhou Wanyi paused for a moment: "What product?"

"You'll see when you get there," Yu Heng said casually. "You'll definitely like it, but make sure you sign for it yourself, and don't let Mom see it."

During dinner, Shen Yueling ladled out a bowl of soup and placed it in front of Yu Heng.

"What do you plan to do about Yutong?" Shen Yueling picked up her chopsticks and asked.

"What? What should we do?" Yu Heng picked up a piece of eggplant.

"She was like that today," Bai Xinran said, "she must have been quite frightened."

"Isn't this just a way to subtly influence her?" Yu Heng said. "If she still can't accept it, then forget it."

Shen Yueling glanced at him: "You seem to take it all in stride."

Bai Xinran whispered, "The way Master acted in the living room today...it was indeed a bit..."

"What's wrong?" Yu Heng asked, looking at her.

"That was a bit too direct," Bai Xinran said. "She probably wasn't prepared."

"With her personality, sometimes you just have to be more direct, because it's hard for her to take the initiative." Yu Heng put down his chopsticks. "She confessed to me, which was already very proactive. It's almost impossible for her to accept this kind of relationship willingly."

"That's true," Shen Yueling nodded. "I'll try to have dinner with her more often this week and see how she reacts."

"Oh, right," Yu Heng suddenly said, "we might need to shoot some product promotional photos soon."

Shen Yueling paused, then asked, "How do we film it?"

"Just take normal photos, posed shots, close-ups of details," Yu Heng said. "Post them on WeChat Moments for promotion."

Bai Xinran looked up: "A model? Do I need to show my face?"

"No explicit exposure, just close-ups of specific areas," Yu Heng said. "Hands, legs, or backs, or something like that."

As Shen Yueling listened, she thought to herself that Yu Heng was really planning to do this business seriously.

"Who are you planning to hire as a model?" she asked.

"I haven't decided yet." Yu Heng put the last box in. "This kind of thing definitely needs to be done by a professional, and it also depends on whether the other party is willing to take it. If not, I'll look within the industry."

Bai Xinran blinked: "Can I be a model?"

Yu Heng looked at her: "You want to take a picture?"

"Hmm!" Bai Xinran nodded. "Since we're not showing our faces, it's okay to take close-up shots, right?"

Bai Xinran thought that taking some exquisite and beautiful photos was a great idea, whether for display or for personal enjoyment.

Shen Yueling glanced at her, thinking to herself that A-Ling was really proactive.

"Forget it," Yu Heng said, narrowing his eyes. "I'll look within the industry."

Author's note: This is for readers who are not in the industry.

"I'm going to blow-dry my hair," Shen Yueling said after taking a shower, and walked into the bedroom.

Bai Xinran also stood up: "Then I'll go take a shower too."

Yu Heng turned off the living room lights and followed Shen Yueling back to the room.

Shen Yueling had already lay down, her back to him.

Yu Heng took off his clothes, lifted the blanket, and lay down.

"Are you going to sleep?" he asked.

"No," Shen Yueling said, "I'll rest for a while."

Yu Heng reached out and put his arm around her waist. She stiffened slightly for a moment, then relaxed.

"Where did you put the sample?" he asked.

"In the drawer," Shen Yueling said, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Yu Heng said, "I just wanted to ask."

Shen Yueling did not respond.

After a while, Yu Heng moved his hand up a little.

"Are you tired today?" he asked.

"It's alright," Shen Yueling said.

Yu Heng's hand twitched, and her breathing became slightly erratic.

"There's a club meeting tomorrow," Yu Heng said. "Are you coming too?"

"Sure," Shen Yueling said. "I'm in a club too, anyway."

Yu Heng's hand continued downwards, but Shen Yueling pressed it down: "Don't we have an early meeting tomorrow?"

"Just for a little while," Yu Heng said, "It won't take long. Let's test if the product works well."

-

The next morning, in the club activity room.

Wang Luyu arrived first and was wiping the table.

Zhou Mengqi arrived second, carrying two cups of soy milk.

"The president hasn't arrived yet?" she asked.

"Not yet," Wang Luyu said, "it should be soon."

Just then, the door opened.

Yu Heng walked in, followed by Shen Yueling.

"President," Wang Luyu greeted, then looked at Shen Yueling, "Sister Yueling."

Shen Yueling nodded and sat down in a chair against the wall.

Zhou Mengqi handed over a cup of soy milk: "President, this is yours."

"Thanks," Yu Heng said, taking the package. "Is everyone here?"

"Everyone's here," Wang Luyu said. "Just the few of us."

Yu Heng walked to the whiteboard and picked up a marker.

"I have two things to say," he turned to look at them, "First, I've rented another villa outside."

The activity room fell silent for a moment.

"Rent another one?" Zhou Mengqi's eyes widened. "What for?"

"We'll use it as an office," Yu Heng said. "We'll go there for filming, editing, meetings, and all that."

Zhou Mengqi laughed: "That's great, the activity room is indeed too small."

"The second thing," Yu Heng tapped the whiteboard, "is that we have to finish filming the new video for 'Soul Pawnshop' this week."

He wrote a title on the whiteboard.

"This time we need to add a lot of narration," Yu Heng said. "Each character needs to have inner thoughts, and the characters need to be brought to life."

Wang Luyu diligently took notes: "How are psychological activities expressed?"

"Use voice-over," Yu Heng said, "or a monologue, but it has to be natural and not too deliberate."
