I have a lot of dating skills.

Arriving at a coffee shop by car, Chen Dongni took a deep breath, a little nervous, as she stood at the entrance.

Xin Yu looked at her with suspicion. He didn't ask Chen Dongni's purpose in coming to Shanghai, but it seemed she was there to see someone.

"Let's go in."

Chen Dongni told him something and went into the coffee shop, and Xin Yu followed her in.

It was not yet noon, and there were not many customers in the coffee shop. At a corner table by the floor-to-ceiling window sat a capable woman, around thirty years old, of average appearance, who gave off a shrewd feeling.

Upon seeing them, the woman stood up warmly, smiling and extending her hand:

"Chen Dongni? I'm Li Shan. This is the first time I've met you in person. You're much prettier than in the videos."

"Hello, Sister Li, you flatter me."

"Who is this?" Li Shan looked at Xin Yu with a puzzled expression.

"One of my junior classmates."

Chen Dongni didn't explain much.

After the two sat down and had a brief conversation, Li Shan took out two contracts and placed them in front of Chen Dongni. Only then did Xin Yu understand what was going on.

Li Shan came on behalf of a music company that was planning to form a girl group and wanted to sign Chen Dongni as one of its artists.

Does Chen Dongni also have the intention to develop her career in the entertainment industry?

After reading the two contracts, Chen Dongni remained expressionless and said to Li Shan, "Sister Li, I'd like to reconsider signing the contract."

Li Shan said, "Dongni, you can raise any opinions you have. You have a group of fans online and have proven your strength. The contract the company has prepared for you is quite lenient."

“This has nothing to do with the contract; it’s some of my own problems,” Chen Dongni said with a sigh.

Li Shan nodded: "Okay, I hope you can give me an answer as soon as possible."

After leaving the coffee shop, the two took a car back to the hotel. They didn't talk, and the atmosphere was somewhat dull.

Xin Yu spoke up: "I've never heard you mention this before."

“I haven’t made up my mind yet, I’m still hesitating,” Chen Dongni said.

"But they didn't tell me."

Chen Dongni sighed and remained silent.

"You want to pursue a career in the entertainment industry? In a girl group?" Xin Yu asked her.

She nodded: "I have thought about it."

"Then why didn't you sign it just now? That company seemed pretty famous."

"The music market is sluggish, and singers are all going to do variety shows. Even if they sign with a company, there is still a high chance that they will not make it big."

That's how she answered.

"Anything else?" Xin Yu turned to ask her.

Chen Dongni bit her lip and did not answer him.

Back at the hotel, Xin Yu passed by Chen Dongni's room without stopping, and walked towards his own room.

Chen Dongni looked at him hesitantly, then turned away sadly, preparing to return to her room.

"Senior, it's your turn to come to my room."

His voice reached her ears, but when she turned to look, his figure had already disappeared at the door. Chen Dongni took a deep breath, feeling a mix of trepidation, unease, and anticipation, and followed him inside.

As soon as she entered the room, she was grabbed by a pair of strong arms, and the other person roughly pressed her against the door, with her back to him.

He pressed himself against her, his abdomen and buttocks close together, and whispered in her ear, "I'm angry."

"I'm sorry..." Chen Dongni felt a little guilty.

"You think you can leave me after signing a singer contract? You didn't dare tell me because you were afraid I wouldn't let you go?" Xin Yu placed his hand on her back and slowly stroked it down.

"No, I asked you to come with me. I never intended to hide it from you." Her voice trembled.

"Who knows if they're just trying to show off in front of me."

"Even if I become a star, even if I become famous, I will still listen to you." She explained anxiously, her words becoming incoherent.

"That sounds nice, but you still lied to me," Xin Yu sneered.

"I didn't lie, I just kept it from you." She lowered her head weakly.

"Isn't that a lie?"

"Waaah... I'm sorry, I'll never do it again." She finally couldn't take it anymore, turned around and apologized pitifully, her pearly teeth gently biting her lip, her face flushed with a charming blush.

Xin Yu gasped: "You actually dared to seduce me? Did you think I would forgive you like that?"

Chen Dongni stared at him, her face flushed red as if it were about to bleed.

Xin Yu immediately said, "Kneel down."

She resumed her obedient demeanor, turned to face Xin Yu, and looked up at him with a shy and apprehensive expression that was undeniably adorable.

Xin Yu gently touched her face.

Chen Dongni blushed and lowered her eyelids.

Chapter 164 The Fallen Stem (Part 2)

In the hotel room, Xin Yu sat on the bed, took a selfie with his phone, and then took a few more pictures of the room, preparing to send them to Zhao Weijing.

When Zhao Weijing learned that he was coming to Shanghai, she offered to come with him. Xin Yu told her that he was going to see his parents, which persuaded her to stay, but she still had to report her itinerary.

The faucet in the bathroom was running, and the sound of rinsing mouth could be heard.

After a while, the sound stopped, and Chen Dongni came out. Seeing him taking pictures, she went over and sat down next to him, taking his arm and saying:

"Take a picture of me too."

Xin Yu pointed his phone at her, but she pushed it away in annoyance: "Take a duet!"

So Xin Yu had no choice but to take a picture with her, their faces almost touching.

He then lay down, opened his photo album, selected a photo to send to Zhao Weijing, and carefully avoided the group photo from earlier.

Chen Dongni lay down to watch him operate, pursed her lips, rolled her eyes, got up and straddled Xin Yu, then lay down and rested her head on his chest.

To avoid being disturbed by her, Xin Yu raised his hands and used her head as a cushion, continuing to send photos to Zhao Weijing.

Seeing that he ignored her, Chen Dongni snorted and opened her mouth to bite his chest, but she didn't dare to use force, just like a kitten scratching an itch.

Slowly, I felt a sensation of being nibbled by a small pet on my chest.

Xin Yu held his phone in one hand and punched her with the other.

"Hmm." She groaned softly, raising her flushed face, her watery eyes gazing longingly at Xin Yu.

Xin Yu put down his phone, cupped her face and kissed her, tasting the faint flavor of toothpaste.

Suddenly, the phone that had been tossed aside rang with a reluctant ring. Xin Yu was startled, released Chen Dongni, patted her to signal her to be quiet, and then picked up the phone.

Chen Dongni was out of breath and buried her face weakly in his chest.

"Hey, Weijing, why are you staying in a hotel? I was planning to stay here for a couple of days and then go see my parents tomorrow. What, you're flying over now? Uh, that's too far. I'll go back in a few days and see you then."

During the call, their bodies were pressed intimately together, and through their clothes, Xin Yu felt a strange emotion stirring within him.

After much persuasion, Xin Yu finally dissuaded Zhao Weijing from coming to Shanghai. He hung up the phone, tossed his phone aside, and kissed Chen Dongni again.

Later, Chen Dongni got tired and lay weakly on him, as quiet as a pet cat.

Xin Yu was chatting with Huo Yingxi on his phone. Yingxi asked him when he would come back, saying she missed him and that she hadn't done any tasks for a long time and hoped that her master could assign her tasks on his phone.

After thinking it over, Xin Yu decided to grant the little maid's wish. This kind of interaction would be very meaningful to her. He then sent her a task instruction, telling her that she was only allowed to wear an outer garment for the next 24 hours.

The maid sent a meme of an anime girl kneeling naked, presumably to express her gratitude. Then she made a new request, telling him that Bei Jiamin missed her master's slaps and hoped that her master could grant her the authority to give Bei Jiamin a few slaps.

Can you do this?

Xin Yu remembered Bei Jiamin's perverted hobbies and worried that she would get sick if she suppressed them for too long, so he agreed to grant Huo Yingxi the permissions.

A few minutes later, Huo Yingxi sent a short video.

Xin Yu clicked on it out of curiosity and found that it was a video of the little maid exercising his power. In the video, Bei Jiamin turned around hurriedly, her eyes filled with panic and shyness.

After not seeing any movement from Xin Yu for a long time, Chen Dongni regained some strength, peeked over, and then angrily placed her hand on his waist.

"Your cousin misses you a lot, she even made this kind of video and sent it to you."

She looked annoyed, but she was actually very jealous. Even though they were together, Xin Yu was chatting with other girls from time to time, which made her doubt her own charm.

"Jiamin was just joking with me."

Since Chen Dongni didn't see Huo Yingxi appear on screen, Xin Yu didn't mention her either.

Chen Dongni snorted and didn't bring up the issue again. Occasionally showing jealousy was enough to let Xin Yu understand her attitude; being too persistent would only drive Xin Yu away from her.

But this can't go on forever. Xin Yu is bored now, so we need to find something for him to do.

Chen Dongni's eyes lit up, and she said, "It's a rare trip to Shanghai, let's go out and have some fun. I want to shoot a video, you can be my photographer."

"This city is packed with people everywhere you go, aren't you afraid?"

"Protect me. I'm not afraid when you're by my side."

"Okay, I'll film you."

The two discussed attractions and finally chose the City God Temple. They didn't take the subway because it would be too crowded, so they took a ride-hailing service directly there.

Entering through the main gate, Xin Yu held his phone and pointed it at Chen Dongni. Since it was just for recording, the filming was very casual. The camera followed Chen Dongni as she walked, capturing the bustling atmosphere of the City God Temple.

There were many small vendors along the way. Chen Dongni walked and stopped, her skirt fluttering as she turned around, and she smiled brightly at him:

"I'm hungry. I heard there's a lot of delicious food here. Let's go eat!"

Xin Yu filmed her speaking.

The two went to a pan-fried bun shop and ordered a serving of fresh pork pan-fried buns, four for 15 yuan. The skin was a bit thick, but the taste was okay.

Passing by a crab roe soup dumpling shop, Chen Dongni went in and ordered a crab roe soup dumpling, about the size of a bowl, with a thin skin wrapping the soup. The way to eat it is to insert a straw, suck out the crab roe soup inside, and then eat the skin.

Chen Dongni asked for two straws and gave one to Xin Yu. The two of them tasted it together. The soup was very delicious and had a crab roe flavor.
