Chapter 92
Placement
Yu Heng leaned against the headboard and asked with a smile, "Are you feeling better now?"
"Yes," Bai Xinran nodded, "my legs are still a little weak."
"You're really honest," Yu Heng said, looking at her with a hint of helplessness, "all the way until the broadcast ended?"
"You didn't say stop..." Bai Xinran said softly, with a hint of grievance.
"Okay," Yu Heng sighed, "it's my fault too. Alright, let's go back inside."
"There's one more thing..." Bai Xinran bit her lower lip, her voice even softer.
"What is it?"
"I'd like to get a new gaming chair..."
"Why?" Yu Heng raised an eyebrow.
"..." Bai Xinran was too embarrassed to say it.
"Tsk," Yu Heng understood, and couldn't help but shake his head with a chuckle, "Alright, I'll buy one from JD.com now that it'll arrive tomorrow."
"Thank you," Bai Xinran said with a sigh of relief. "Shall I go back to my room now?"
"Let's go back."
Bai Xinran returned to her room and collapsed onto the bed.
My legs are indeed a bit sore, and not just my legs, but also my waist and arms.

After taking a shower, Yu Heng dried his hair and returned to his room.
He sat on the edge of the bed, leaned back, and picked up his phone to check the time.
He became a bit irritable after Qin Lu gave him the cold shoulder.
Now that he's calmed down and thought about it, he realizes he got a little carried away today.
He was so focused on satisfying his own desire for control and excitement that he neglected her situation.
Shen Yueling and Ning Yutong are both here today. What if Qin Lu notices something?
She's a counselor; he might not care about reputation, but she can't.
Yu Heng clicked his tongue and tossed the towel aside. This matter hadn't been handled properly.
He picked up his phone, unlocked it, and opened WeChat.
Yu Heng found Shen Yueling in the pinned chat and typed: "Tomorrow's Saturday, want to come over for lunch?"
After a while, Shen Yueling replied: "What?"
Concise and to the point, yet still maintaining an air of superiority.
Yu Heng grinned and continued typing: "Nothing much, just having a meal."
Shen Yueling: "You know how to make it?"
Yu Heng's fingers flew across the keyboard: "I learned this especially for you."
Actually, I learned it after I got married in my previous life.
But right now he really doesn't know how to cook, so when he said he couldn't cook before, it wasn't exactly an act.
This time, the "typing is in progress" message took a little longer to display.
Shen Yueling: "What time?"
Yu Heng felt relieved; asking about the time meant he had agreed.
He replied, "Come over at 11:30, just in time for lunch."
Shen Yueling: "Mm."
"That's fine!" He exited the chat with Shen Yueling and swiped his finger down.
I stopped at Qin Lu's profile picture and clicked on it subconsciously.
The chat history was still stuck on messages from before he was blocked.
Have you added it back now?
Yu Heng tried sending a message: "What time should I bring Qin Ya over tomorrow?"
The message was sent successfully, and no red exclamation mark appeared.
Qin Lu removed him from the blacklist!
Yu Heng stared at the screen for several minutes, but there was no reply.
I guess he saw it, but didn't want to pay attention to it.
Okay, we'll talk about it when I bring Qin Ya tomorrow!
Just as I was about to close my eyes, my phone vibrated again.
This time it was actually Qin Ya.
Qin Ya: "Report! I'm home safely!"
It's been so long since the report came out; they're just making small talk.
Yu Heng remained silent and replied, "Okay, go to sleep now."
Qin Ya: "I can't sleep. My mom didn't look well when she picked me up today. What happened to you two again?"
Yu Heng: "Nothing much."
Qin Ya: "Impossible. Did my mom reject you from doing 'that' in the house tonight?"
Yu Heng frowned and quickly typed: "Qin Ya, you didn't listen to a single word I said, did you?"
Qin Ya: "I listened to you. You said you couldn't do that anymore, right? I'm just chatting with you now, I didn't do anything."
Yu Heng: "Alright, go to sleep now, we have a live stream tomorrow."
Qin Ya: "Okay, okay, stop nagging. Goodnight, Captain."
Yu Heng: "???"
Qin Ya did not reply.
Yu Heng looked at the screen and clicked his tongue, thinking, "This little brat."
-
Around 8 a.m., Bai Xinran stood at the door of Yu Heng's bedroom.
He stared at the door for a moment before reaching out to turn the doorknob.
The door was pushed open a crack, and the curtains in the room were drawn, making it very dark.
Yu Heng was still lying in bed, still sleeping naked, with the blanket wrapped up and held in his arms.
Bai Xinran stood at the door and called softly, "Yu Heng, it's time to get up."
The person on the bed didn't move. She pursed her lips and took two steps forward.
Walking to the bedside, I saw Yu Heng lying on his side, breathing evenly, looking like he was sleeping soundly.
She reached out and gently nudged his shoulder: "Yu Heng."
Still no response.
She applied a little more pressure and pushed twice more, raising her voice slightly: "Get up."
Yu Heng slowly opened his eyes, his gaze still somewhat unfocused and confused.
He turned his head and saw Bai Xinran standing by the bed. He blinked and asked, "What time is it?"
"It's almost 8:30," Bai Xinran said, looking away.
"Mmm," Yu Heng responded, propping himself up to sit up, and looking at Bai Xinran with sleepy eyes: "Did you sleep well last night?"
"It's alright." Bai Xinran's gaze darted around. "If you have nothing else, I'll head out now."
"What's the rush?" Yu Heng threw off the covers and got out of bed, heading straight for the bathroom, not caring at all about his appearance. "Let me wash my face, then we'll go downstairs together."
Bai Xinran stood there, watching him walk into the bathroom.
He went even further than last time!
They're not covering it up at all!
After washing up, Yu Heng came out and put on a nightgown: "Okay, let's go downstairs."
The two went downstairs one after the other.
Yu Heng had a slightly pleased smile on his face. Letting her wake him up was a kind of obedience test, to help her form a habit.
It is also a kind of subtle influence.
It can help her lessen the shame she feels about being completely honest with someone.
Yu Heng's phone rang while he was eating breakfast.
It was Shen Yueling's WeChat message.
Shen Yueling: "I'll be there promptly at 11:30."
Yu Heng quickly replied, "Okay, I'll wait for you."
After finishing, he chewed on his bread, squinted, and looked at Bai Xinran across from him: "What brings you today?"
Bai Xinran shook her head: "No, what's wrong?"
"Shen Yueling is coming over at noon," Yu Heng said casually. "I have something to discuss with her."
"Ah..." Bai Xinran was taken aback. "Then I can go back to my dorm."
She thought she needed to avoid suspicion.
"No need, I just want to play a game with you," Yu Heng said with a smile.
"What?"
"cosplay".
"what?"
"You're cosplaying a zongzi (sticky rice dumpling)."
