After being dumped by the diva, I was picked up by her arch-enemy.

That afternoon.

Recording Studio A, 17th floor of Star Entertainment headquarters.

The music arrangement team has already left.

After several days of hard work, the accompaniment for "Red-Clad Ladies" was finally completed.

Jiang Yichen sat alone in front of the mixing console.

Wearing heavy monitoring headphones.

Long, slender fingers glided subtly across the clippers.

The waveform of the audio track on the screen fluctuated with his movements.

He is making final adjustments.

Just then.

With a "click," the heavy soundproof door was pushed open from the outside.

Xu Zhiyou leaned half her body in.

Today she wore a light blue floral print fitted dress with a delicate lace trim around the neckline.

Her hair was tied into a bun, and the wispy strands on both sides of her face made her small, delicate face look even more charming.

"Jiang Yichen, are you still busy?"

Xu Zhiyou pushed open the door and tiptoed in.

This time, however, she was followed by someone else.

Jiang Yichen's gaze passed over Xu Zhiyou and landed on the woman who had followed him in.

The woman was very tall, probably around 1.75 meters, with short hair that reached her ears neatly. Her cool face was expressionless.

After entering the room, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Yichen.

Jiang Yichen raised an eyebrow.

Why does this woman act like I owe her five million?

Xu Zhiyou walked to the mixing console and placed a thermal bag she was carrying on the table.

"You must be exhausted working here all by yourself."

As Xu Zhiyou spoke, she took a transparent plastic cup out of the insulated bag.

The cup contained a pale blue liquid, and fine water droplets clung to the sides of the cup.

"The drink I brought for you was chilled."

She held the cup in both hands and handed it to Jiang Yichen.

Jiang Yichen was indeed parched from staying up all night, but without thinking much, he took the straw, bit down on it, and took a big gulp.

The cold liquid flowed down my throat and into my stomach.

It has a sweet and sour taste with a unique fruity aroma.

"Is it good?" Xu Zhiyou asked expectantly.

"It's alright," Jiang Yichen replied casually.

But less than two minutes later...

Jiang Yichen suddenly felt something was wrong, and a warm sensation rose in his stomach.

The heat quickly spread throughout the body via the bloodstream.

My body suddenly felt hot, and my heart inexplicably beat faster.

He subconsciously tugged at his collar.

An unnatural blush quickly spread across her fair cheeks.

Jiang Yichen frowned and looked at the thermos on the table.

"What kind of drink is that?"

Xu Zhiyou was staring blankly at Jiang Yichen's profile.

She paused for a moment when she heard the question.

Seeing Jiang Yichen's flushed face.

My brain went blank for a moment.

This reaction... these symptoms...

Why does it look so much like the medicine Su Yu described before?!

Xu Zhiyou's heart leaped into her throat.

She turned her head and looked at Su Yu, who was standing by the door.

His eyes were full of surprise and doubt.

Sister Yu!

You didn't actually drug me behind my back, did you?!

Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyou's cheeks flushed crimson.

Su Yu stood still, receiving her young mistress's "eye telegram," and looked back expressionlessly.

His eyes were clear and bright, even carrying a hint of innocent confusion and bewilderment, as if asking, "What are you looking at?"

She tilted her head slightly, completely baffled as to why her young mistress was suddenly looking at her with that kind of gaze.

Xu Zhiyou looked at Su Yu's open and honest appearance.

The tension in my nerves finally eased.

She knew Su Yu too well. If Su Yu had really done it, she wouldn't have bothered to hide it.

Since she has this expression, it means there's nothing wrong with the drink.

Xu Zhiyou turned her head to look at Jiang Yichen and quickly explained.

"This is Blue Bull."

"I saw you were too tired, so I bought you an energy drink."

"It's refreshing and invigorating."

"What's wrong? Don't you like the taste?"

Jiang Yichen was stunned.

Blue Bull?

He searched through the original owner's memories.

I understood immediately.

This thing is Red Bull in this parallel universe.

It's probably because I drank too much at once, plus my body is naturally quite sensitive, that caused this reaction.

Jiang Yichen breathed a sigh of relief; he had thought something was wrong with his body.

"It's okay, it tastes pretty good."

Next, the atmosphere in the recording studio became strange.

Jiang Yichen sat there and continued to adjust the arrangement.

Xu Zhiyou was looking down, picking at her fingers, lost in thought.

Su Yu, however, remained standing there like a door god.

The room was very quiet.

Only the exhaust fan made a faint humming sound.

"Um...we have something to do, so we'll be going now!" Xu Zhiyou couldn't stand the awkwardness any longer, so she grabbed Su Yu's arm and fled.

boom.

The heavy soundproof door of the recording studio was closed.

In the corridor.

Xu Zhiyou pulled Su Yu and walked more than ten meters away.

They continued until they were certain that the people inside could no longer hear any noise from outside.

She then stopped walking.

He turned around and glared angrily at Su Yu.

"Sister Yu!"

Why are you staring at her like that?

"The way you look at me, it's like you want to eat me alive!"

Su Yu's expression remained unchanged, her hands still in the pockets of her work pants.

His tone was calm yet self-assured.

"I'm observing him."

"Since this is the man that Miss has taken a liking to, I naturally need to assess his danger level and overall qualities."

Xu Zhiyou was amused by her anger.

"So what were your assessment results?"

Su Yu tilted her head slightly and carefully recalled the scene from just now.

"She is indeed good-looking."

"His frame is well-proportioned, and although his muscle definition isn't explosive, his explosive power should be decent."

"but."

Su Yu changed the subject, her tone tinged with confusion.

"Apart from that, I didn't find anything special about him."

"Miss, how did you become so captivated by him?"

Xu Zhiyou covered her face with her hands, feeling that she couldn't explain herself to this blockhead at all.

"You don't understand!"

Su Yu frowned slightly as she looked at Xu Zhiyou's infatuated expression.

She sighed and spoke earnestly.

"Miss, this is an ineffective attack."

"What a perfect opportunity, a man and a woman all alone."

"If you had listened to me and used Plan B, you would have succeeded."

"Why go through all that trouble?"

Xu Zhiyou's face flushed red to her ears, filled with shame and indignation. She rushed over and covered Su Yu's mouth.

"Sister Yu!"

"Don't mention this again!"

"If you dare bring this up again, I... I'll ignore you!"
