Xiu Gou's Taming Record

"How did you two meet?" Yu Heng asked.

"When it was time to welcome new students at the beginning of the semester," Zhang Yuchen said, "I was a volunteer in her department and helped her with the registration."

He paused, then added, "I saw him a few more times later at student council events."

"Oh," Yu Heng replied.

So that's what happened.

A senior student takes care of a junior student, and naturally begins to pursue her?

"And you?" Zhang Yuchen turned to look at him. "How did you two meet?"

"We met online," Yu Heng said.

"Online?"

"Well, she does the live streaming, and I handle the operations," Yu Heng stated frankly. "It's a collaborative relationship."

Zhang Yuchen was visibly taken aback: "Live stream? What live stream?"

"Virtual streamers," Yu Heng said, "like those on Bilibili."

Zhang Yuchen frowned: "Xinran is working on this? How come I didn't know?"

Yu Heng didn't continue. Since Bai Xinran hadn't said anything, he couldn't say anything either.

Zhang Yuchen paused for a few seconds, then asked, "Are you usually together?"

"Pretty much," Yu Heng said. "She needs equipment for her live streams, and I have some."

Where are you?

"I rented a place outside," Yu Heng said, "to use as a studio."

Zhang Yuchen fell silent and lowered his head to smoke.

He didn't even realize the cigarette was burning down to the filter.

Looking at him, Yu Heng felt his displeasure inexplicably dissipate.

"Vice Chairman Zhang," he began, "are you interested in Bai Xinran?"

Zhang Yuchen suddenly looked up, his ears slightly red: "What did you say?"

"I was just asking," Yu Heng grinned, "You seem quite concerned about her."

"We're friends," Zhang Yuchen said in a slightly firm tone. "It's normal to care about your friends."

"That's true." Yu Heng nodded. "Then it's quite normal for me, as her business partner, to care about her."

Zhang Yuchen stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled: "Yu Heng, you're a freshman, right?"

"Um."

"I'm a sophomore," Zhang Yuchen said. "I've been at school for a year, so I know some things better than you do."

"for example?"

"For example," Zhang Yuchen threw his cigarette butt into the trash can, "it's useless to just talk about pursuing girls."

He turned to look at Yu Heng, his expression calm: "We'll have to see how they act."

Yu Heng raised an eyebrow: "Like sending a fruit basket?"

"For example, appearing when she needs it," Zhang Yuchen said, "and understanding what she truly likes and wants."

"Vice Chairman Zhang is right," Yu Heng nodded, "Then do you know what Bai Xinran truly likes?"

Zhang Yuchen choked for a moment, opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

"Looks like you don't know either," Yu Heng smiled. "Then I'll take my leave first, senior."

After saying that, Yu Heng turned and left.

I'm having dinner with Ning Yutong tonight.

I need to think about what to eat.

The camera should arrive tomorrow.

Once we get our hands on it, we need to test its effectiveness by filming a few short videos of Ning Yutong to see how it goes.

Oh, and I should also ask Qin Ya how things are going.

How was yesterday's live stream? Will you be coming today?

As Yu Heng walked, he pondered and unknowingly arrived near the teaching building.

At this time, the second period of the morning had just ended, and students poured out of the classrooms.

In the crowd, he saw a familiar figure.

Lin Yu.

She's the aloof girl I saw at the hot pot restaurant last time.

She walked alone, carrying two books in her arms, her gaze fixed ahead, her expression unchanging.

Yu Heng recalled his previous idea.

With that figure and presence, she'd be perfect for live streaming...

As he was thinking, Lin Yu suddenly turned her head, and their eyes met.

The two stared at each other for a second.

Lin Yu nodded slightly as a greeting, and then continued walking forward.

Yu Heng hesitated for a moment, then followed.

"Lin Yu," he called out.

Lin Yu stopped and turned to look at him, her eyes questioning.

"I'm Ning Yutong's friend, Yu Heng," he said. "We met at the hot pot restaurant last time."

"I remember," Lin Yu said, her voice cool and aloof.

"Um..." Yu Heng paused for a moment, then asked, "Are you interested in doing live streaming?"

That's right, he was just being a professional.

Lin Yu paused for a moment, then frowned slightly: "Live stream?"

"Yes," Yu Heng said, "entertainment live streaming."

"Not interested," Lin Yu said curtly, turning to leave.

"Wait," Yu Heng called out to her, "Let me finish."

Lin Yu turned to look at him, her eyes showing a hint of impatience.

"You have great looks," Yu Heng said. "You also have a unique temperament. If you did live streaming, there would definitely be a market for you. You could easily earn 10,000 to 20,000 yuan a month."

Lin Yu stared at him for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled.

It wasn't a happy laugh; it was a mocking laugh.

"Do you guys think that if a girl is a little attractive, she should be used to make money?"

Yu Heng choked.

"I did not mean that……"

"So what do you mean?" Lin Yu interrupted him, "You think I'm good-looking enough to sell my smiles online?"

"I'm not selling smiles..." Yu Heng tried to explain.

"Is there a difference?" Lin Yu looked at him. "What's the difference between pandering to the audience in front of the camera and selling smiles?"

After she finished speaking, she turned and left.

This time, Yu Heng didn't call out to her again.

He stood there, watching Lin Yu's figure disappear into the crowd.

Well, I've been humiliated again.

Yu Heng touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

But he didn't think there was anything wrong with his ideas.

These days, good looks are an asset.

If it can be converted into cash, why not convert it into cash?

However, Lin Yu's personality...

It's really difficult.

He shook his head and continued walking.

My phone vibrated again.

This time, the message was from Qin Lu: "Yu Heng, Qin Ya wants to do a live stream this afternoon, are you available?"

Yu Heng replied, "Convenient? What time?"

Qin Lu: "Around two o'clock, I'll take her there."

"Okay, then I'll wait at home at 2 o'clock."

After replying to the message, Yu Heng glanced at the time.

11:30.

It's time for lunch.

He walked towards the cafeteria, still thinking about what had just happened.

Although Lin Yu's words were harsh, they weren't entirely without merit.

In essence, the live streaming industry is about selling.

They sell their voice, their image, and their persona.

It's just packaged in a more upscale way.

But then again, what business in this world doesn't involve selling?

it's the same.

Yu Heng went into the cafeteria, got a meal, and found an empty seat.

I had just taken two bites when someone sat down opposite me.

He looked up and saw Shen Yueling.

"What are you doing here?" Yu Heng asked.

"Nonsense, don't I eat?" Shen Yueling said, putting down her plate.

She wore a black knit sweater today, with a low neckline that revealed a bit of her collarbone.

Yu Heng glanced at it a couple more times.

"What are you looking at?" Shen Yueling glanced at him.

"Because you're good-looking." Yu Heng grinned.

Shen Yueling gave a soft snort and lowered her head to eat.

The two ate quietly for a while, then Shen Yueling suddenly asked, "What did you do yesterday?"

"Yesterday?" Yu Heng thought for a moment, "At home."

"The whole day?"

"almost."

Shen Yueling looked up at him: "Isn't Bai Xinran sick? Didn't you go see her?"

Yu Heng paused.

How did you know she was sick?

"Ning Yutong said it," Shen Yueling said. "She said Bai Xinran has a cold and is getting an IV drip in the infirmary."

Yu Heng nodded: "I went to take a look this morning."

Just for a moment?

"Otherwise what?" Yu Heng raised an eyebrow. "Do I have to spend another day with them?"

Shen Yueling didn't reply. She picked up a piece of eggplant, put it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.

Yu Heng looked at her, wondering what this woman wanted to ask.

And how did they manage to get in touch?

When Ning Yutong visited my home last time, she even added Bai Xinran on WeChat.

Did the two of them chat for a bit?

Has Shen Yuling and Ning Yutong's relationship improved?

Her mindset has changed, so she no longer sees Ning Yutong as a potential rival in love, right?
