How about we go get a hotel room?

Bai Xinran's eyes lit up, and she immediately leaned over to rummage through the box: "Really? Boss, you're so kind!"

"Don't give me that," Yu Heng slapped away her groping hand. "This is an investment, don't overthink it."

"I know, I know, it's an investment~" Bai Xinran said with a grin, not taking it seriously, and still hugged the box to her chest. "I'm your cash cow now, it's only right that you treat me well!"

Looking at her smug little face, Yu Heng couldn't help but tease her again: "Yeah, a money tree. It's just that this tree talks too much; it almost set my backyard on fire."

"Oh dear, I already said it was an accident!" Bai Xinran jumped back a step while holding the equipment box. "I promise I'll keep quiet in front of Sister Yueling from now on!"

"That's more like it," Yu Heng glanced at the time. "Go install the sound card and give it a try."

"Okay! Coming right away!" Bai Xinran dashed back to her room.

After a while, Bai Xinran still hadn't come out, and there was no movement inside either.

He walked to the door and knocked: "Is it all set up? Do you need any help?"

The door opened a crack, and Bai Xinran peeked out: "It's almost done, but the sound card has a bit of static. Boss, do you know how to adjust it?"

Yu Heng pushed open the door and went in, and saw that the table was covered with various equipment and cables.

He bent down to check the sound card interface, while Bai Xinran stood beside him, occasionally handing him a tool.

"Your wiring is a mess," Yu Heng said while adjusting it. "What if someone trips over the wires during the live stream?"

"Oh, as long as it works..." Bai Xinran hadn't finished speaking when Yu Heng glared at her, and she immediately changed her mind, "I'll tidy it up after I finish broadcasting!"

After debugging the equipment, Yu Heng straightened up and found Bai Xinran staring at him.

"What are you looking at?" He raised an eyebrow.

Bai Xinran said with a grin, "I've discovered that the boss looks quite handsome when he's working hard!"

Yu Heng reached out and ruffled her hair: "Stop flattering me. Don't wait until four o'clock. Let's get ready and start the live stream now."

After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the room.

Bai Xinran looked at the closed door, touched her hair that had just been ruffled, and muttered to herself, "Really... do they treat me like a puppy..."

She got up and walked to the door, opened it a crack, and peeked out, "Boss, don't come in while I'm livestreaming! And don't loiter around the door!"

Yu Heng sent a WeChat message: "Let me know when it's debugged, I'll check the effect."

Bai Xinran pouted and replied, "I know, you're nagging me!"

She skillfully connected the equipment and opened the testing software. The new sound card was indeed very effective; the noise was much lower and the sound was clearer.

"Boss, I'm starting my broadcast!" she called out towards the door.

"Okay, let's open it!" Yu Heng's voice came from the living room.

Bai Xinran opened the live streaming app.

Xiu Gou's leather suit appeared on the screen. She adjusted her breathing and immediately switched her voice to live stream mode: "Good afternoon, everyone~ You're a little early today!"

The comments started scrolling:

【Ah Ling is here so early today!】

Is it a new device? The sound seems clearer.

[Wife, love me!]

Yu Heng was watching the live stream on his phone in the living room and casually sent a text message: "The new equipment is working well."

Bai Xinran saw the SC and said with a smile, "Thanks for the SC, boss! Doesn't your voice sound even more magnetic today?"

Yes! Absolutely!

[The boss is so generous!]

When will Ah Ling show her face?

Upon seeing this comment, Bai Xinran paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Show your face? That won't do~ Ah Ling is a virtual streamer!"

Just as Bai Xinran finished reading that SC, Yu Heng's phone vibrated.

He swiped open the screen and saw a message from Ning Yutong: "Want to have dinner together tonight? A new revolving hot pot restaurant just opened outside the school, I heard it's pretty good! (๑´ڡ`๑)"

Yu Heng raised an eyebrow and tapped his fingers on the screen: "Okay, what time?"

Ning Yutong replied instantly: "Now! I'll be waiting for you at the school gate!"

He sent Bai Xinran a WeChat message: "If the equipment is working fine, I'll head out now and go back to my dorm to rest for a while."

Bai Xinran was probably reading the comments section when she replied a few seconds later: "OK, boss! Be careful on the road~"

Yu Heng locked the villa door and strolled leisurely towards the school.

When I arrived at the school gate, Ning Yutong was already waiting there.

"Have you been waiting long?" Yu Heng walked to her side.

"No, we just arrived!" Ning Yutong smiled and took his arm. "Let's go quickly, I heard that restaurant is really popular and you'll have to wait in line if you go late!"

She was dressed warmly today, wearing a beige wool sweater on top and a light blue short skirt that just reached above her knees, with she wearing sheer tights on her legs.

The two arrived at the hot pot restaurant, which was already more than half full.

They found a seat against the wall, and Ning Yutong picked up a plate to choose her dishes.

"What do you need? I'll get it for you!" she asked Yu Heng, turning around.

"Anything is fine, take as much meat as you like." Yu Heng leaned back in his chair.

Ning Yutong returned carrying two plates of fatty beef, her cheeks slightly flushed: "Guess who I just saw?"

"Who?"

"Our class's academic representative came with a boy," she said in a low voice, "They looked quite intimate, probably his boyfriend."

Yu Heng added slices of meat to the pot: "So?"

"I was quite surprised," Ning Yutong tilted her head. "She's usually so aloof in class."

The broth in the pot was bubbling away when Ning Yutong suddenly remembered something: "By the way, clubs and the student council are recruiting new members these days. Is there anywhere you'd like to join?"

Yu Heng picked up a piece of fatty beef with his chopsticks: "I don't have any ideas for now, I'll see. Which club do you want to join?"

"I'm quite interested in a film club!" Ning Yutong's eyes lit up. "They show classic movies every week and organize film review discussions. They also make their own short films, web series, and web movies. I heard there's a really popular web series called 'The Swindler,' which was made by senior students from our school!"

"That was ten years ago, those people graduated a long time ago," Yu Heng said with a laugh.

Ning Yutong then asked him, "Aren't you planning to join any clubs?"

"Not interested," Yu Heng placed the blanched tripe into her bowl. "You'd be better off sleeping more."

Ning Yutong looked down and blew on the shrimp paste she had just scooped out, when she caught a glimpse of someone walking by in the aisle.

She looked up, waved, and called out, "Lin Yu!"

Yu Heng followed her gaze.

A couple had just finished eating and were about to leave when the girl, who had been called to stop, turned around.

This girl has a cool demeanor, very fair skin, delicate features, and a slightly aloof air.

She was wearing a simple black fitted sweater and jeans, and she was at least 1.7 meters tall.

She has a curvaceous figure, smooth and shapely, the kind that would definitely turn heads on the street.

However, this made the boy standing next to her seem rather ordinary, as he was about the same height as her.

He was wearing a gray down vest and black-rimmed glasses.

He looks a bit dull, even a little slow...

"Yutong, I'm leaving now." Lin Yu nodded to Ning Yutong, her voice as cool and aloof as she was.

"Okay, bye-bye!" Ning Yutong waved enthusiastically.

As the two walked out of the store, Ning Yutong turned back and whispered, "I didn't expect Lin Yu to like this type..."

Yu Heng picked up a slice of fatty beef, dipped it in the oil dish, and inwardly grimaced.

Tsk, all the good cabbages have been eaten by pigs?

The man looked like a bookworm, but who knows if he has some extraordinary talent?

He replied casually, "He seems pretty honest."

"Yeah, they seem pretty honest," Ning Yutong blinked, a hint of slyness on her face, "But do you think... they know how to do *that*?"

"That?" Yu Heng raised an eyebrow at her. "Why are you so concerned about other people's private lives?"

"Just curious!" Ning Yutong pouted. "Lin Yu is usually so cold in class, she almost never talks to boys."

He couldn't help but think of Lin Yu's legs, long and straight, encased in jeans, and her aloof and elegant demeanor...

If she wore black stockings and went for a "cool and aloof senior" or "ascetic" persona on her live stream, she'd probably attract a bunch of bosses with a conquering spirit to throw money at her.

But judging from her expression, it's probably impossible.

Ugh, my occupational hazard is acting up again!

"What are you thinking about?" Ning Yutong noticed that Yu Heng was a little distracted, so she waved her hand in front of his eyes.

"I was thinking..." Yu Heng snapped out of his thoughts, "Since you're so curious, how about we go get a hotel room?"

"Oh... Ah??!!"
