Chapter 57

You're just right

Bai Xinran seemed somewhat distracted throughout the live stream.

She was always a beat slow in replying to the comments.

Fortunately, she had gotten to know the veteran viewers in the captain's group well, and they could chat and respond in the comments. She played the straight man for more than four hours.

What's there to try?

After ending the broadcast and closing the software, Bai Xinran sat in her chair in a daze for a while.

She was torn between going out or not.

But the problem now is that she hasn't washed up yet.

But if you go out, you'll run into Yu Heng.

He had to speak to Yu Heng whenever he saw him.

The conversation might drift to that topic.

Bai Xinran scratched her hair and walked around the room twice.

Finally, she gritted her teeth, turned the doorknob, and went out.

Can't we stay in this door forever?

The living room light was still on downstairs, and Yu Heng was curled up on the sofa looking at his phone.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up and his gaze fell on her.

After returning to her room to do a live stream, Bai Xinran changed into her pajamas, leaving her legs bare.

This is her habit in the dormitory. Since she's the only one in the room, she does whatever makes her comfortable.

But now it's clearly not just one person anymore.

She subconsciously pulled the hem of her T-shirt down a little, but it had little effect.

The clothes were already loose, so they swayed with every movement.

"Is it over?" Yu Heng asked first.

"Mm," Bai Xinran responded, continuing her walk straight to the bathroom without stopping.

"How's the business going today?" Yu Heng asked again.

Bai Xinran paused at the bathroom door and turned to look at him: "It's alright, less than ten thousand."

As she finished speaking, she was about to turn the doorknob when she heard Yu Heng say, "I checked the backend, and the traffic has actually increased significantly compared to yesterday. The data is fine, and we've gained quite a few new paying fans."

Bai Xinran turned around and leaned against the doorframe: "So?"

"So that means the veteran captains have pretty much finished their spending," Yu Heng said, looking at her. "No one can spend every day; it's normal to have a lull. These new captains have just joined the ship; they'll get used to it in a few days and then they'll really get going. When you return at the end of the month after your full moon celebration, there'll definitely be some big waves to come."

He spoke quite professionally, and his tone was calm.

As Bai Xinran listened, the awkwardness in her heart eased a little.

At least at work, Yu Heng is still the reliable boss.

"Okay." She nodded, her hand reaching for the doorknob again.

"Oh, right," Yu Heng suddenly spoke up again, "Ning Yutong is coming to film the video tomorrow morning, you remember?"

"I remember, around eight or nine o'clock," Bai Xinran said. "I set an alarm."

"Okay, then get some rest." Yu Heng said, picking up his phone again.

Bai Xinran frowned slightly as she looked at his nonchalant demeanor.

You said such outrageous things this afternoon, and now you're acting like nothing happened?

She stared at him for two seconds, finally unable to hold back: "Don't you have anything else to say?"

Yu Heng looked up from his phone screen, raising an eyebrow: "What did you say?"

"Well..." Bai Xinran stammered, "What I said this afternoon!"

"Oh, that." Yu Heng put down his phone and leaned back on the sofa. "Didn't you say you needed to think about it? I'll wait for you to think about it."

Bai Xinran was unable to respond.

Yes, she herself said she needed to think about it.

But the current atmosphere is so stifling.

"What if I've already thought it through?" she blurted out.

She regretted it as soon as the words left her mouth.

Isn't this just asking for trouble?

Yu Heng didn't laugh; his expression was quite serious. "Tell me when you've thought it through. If you're willing, we can talk about the specifics. If you're not, let's pretend we didn't say anything this afternoon. You'll still be my top anchor, and I'll still be your boss."

After a long pause, she muttered, "Who's your top performer...?"

Yu Heng shrugged: "So you've made up your mind now?"

"No!" Bai Xinran immediately denied. "I was just asking!"

After she finished speaking, she quickly turned the bathroom door open, went inside, and slammed the door shut.

She walked to the sink, looked in the mirror, and couldn't help but mutter, "Pathetic!"

Squeeze out toothpaste and brush your teeth.

The electric toothbrush buzzed in my mouth.

Yu Heng's words just now sounded quite sincere.

but……

Is it really appropriate to have this kind of relationship with your boss?

She was definitely curious and longing for it.

I really didn't expect to start so suddenly, but I should at least give it a try, right?

How will you know if you really like something if you don't try it out?

The toothbrush stopped, and Bai Xinran spat out the foam.

He lingered in front of the mirror for a long time before finally opening the bathroom door.

The living room light was still on, and Yu Heng was still sitting on the sofa.

Hearing the noise, he turned around: "Finished washing?"

"Mm," Bai Xinran replied.

She stood at the bathroom door, looking at Yu Heng, and suddenly asked, "Have you ever tried it?"

I wanted to slap myself after asking her that question.

That's such a direct question!

Yu Heng smiled and said, "Yes, I have."

"How many?" Bai Xinran continued to ask.

"Three or four, I guess," Yu Heng thought for a moment, "all during summer vacation."

Why didn't you...?

"It was all just practice before, we didn't establish a relationship." Yu Heng paused for a moment. "They all have their own lives. One of them is in a relationship and got married, and another one successfully got pregnant. They haven't been in contact since. Of course, the child isn't mine. And I have my own life too. I came to Tangcheng to study, and it's inconvenient for them in Ancheng."

"Pfft," Bai Xinran couldn't help but chuckle, "So you..."

"What?" Yu Heng raised an eyebrow.

Bai Xinran hesitated for a moment, then, deciding that since they were already chatting, she asked frankly, "So, you also want to learn purely through practice?"

"No, that's not it," Yu Heng shook his head, "I want to establish a long-term relationship with you."

"Why?" Bai Xinran asked, puzzled.

"Because those people are all veterans, and their attributes are all about admiration. They're just doing it for the sake of doing it. To put it bluntly, as long as it's suitable, they won't do it with just anyone, but it's all short-term and fixed." Yu Heng paused and continued, "But you're different. You also need something emotional."

"So what kind do you like?" she asked, then quickly added, "I mean, in a relationship."

Yu Heng looked at her and smiled slightly: "You're just fine."

Bai Xinran's face flushed: "I'm serious!"

"I'm serious," Yu Heng smiled. "A newcomer, curious, willing to learn, and..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over her: "The physical attributes are also quite good."

Bai Xinran pulled her T-shirt down even further: "What are you looking at!"

"You dressed like this yourself, and now you won't let me see?" Yu Heng said matter-of-factly.

"These are my pajamas!" Bai Xinran retorted.

"Who wears pajamas like that?" Yu Heng raised an eyebrow. "What's the difference between that and not wearing anything at all?"

"How can there be no difference!" Bai Xinran protested. "This is at least a piece of clothing!"

"Alright, alright, it's clothes." Yu Heng stood up from the sofa. "So, Little White, wearing these clothes, should you go to sleep? You have to get up early tomorrow."

He walked towards his bedroom as he spoke, then stopped at the door and turned back to look at her: "By the way, if you ever come to your senses in the middle of the night, feel free to knock."

"Who's knocking on your door!" Bai Xinran glared at him.

"I'm talking about serious matters," Yu Heng said innocently, "like, I want to talk about the content of the live stream or something."

"I'd be a fool to believe you!" Bai Xinran turned and walked towards her room.

Close and lock the door.

The room was very quiet.

My mind is a mess.

There was no panic or resistance.

On the contrary, there is a kind of hidden expectation?

"Oh no," Bai Xinran buried her face in the pillow, "Am I really having some kind of problem...?"

She got up, walked to the wardrobe, opened the door, and pointed to something on the wall of the wardrobe.

"Little Pony... I'll indulge you this once in a while!"
