74: Chapter 74 Chi Zhao, why didn't you say anything when your period came?

Next stop, Su Lingyin's law firm.

"Aside from home, school and the workplace are the places I spend the most time."

Chen Yu nodded in response.

Work occupies a large portion of one's life.

To understand a person, their work is also very important.

Su Lingyin was gradually bringing Chen Yu into her life, not just for dating, but more to let him see the many different aspects of her life.

Only with a bit more understanding can one make the right choice.

She didn't like decisions made on impulse when getting together.

At the same time, she was also constantly learning about Chen Yu's life.

For example, by watching Chen Yu's livestreams.

Sometimes when she was tired from work, it was also a way to decompress.

Chen Yu was very talented and possessed a sense of humor; his conversations with fans often made her smile in spite of herself.

Faced with the negativity of others, he would also bravely refute them.

These were all his shining points.

Towards her, he...

Seemed even gentler and more cautious.

In both of his lifetimes, Chen Yu had never been to a law firm, and he rarely even dealt with lawyers.

Su Lingyin took Chen Yu to register.

"It's so formal."

Su Lingyin nodded: "It's not targeted at you."

"I know, your line of work requires caution."

"Mm, that's right. Come, I'll take you to my office."

The busy staff made the two of them seem out of place.

"Lawyer Su!"

Someone would greet Su Lingyin politely upon seeing her, and a flash of confusion would cross their eyes when they saw Chen Yu, but no one pressed for questions.

It seemed everyone was a bit afraid of Su Lingyin.

Chen Yu turned his head and saw Su Lingyin's serious expression.

They arrived at the office.

A Senior Partner was indeed different.

She had a private office, and inside there was even a small lounge.

"Your law firm is quite wealthy," Chen Yu said, sitting on the leather sofa.

The solid wood coffee table and bookshelves made the atmosphere of the entire room feel even more solemn.

"It's alright."

"I have tea and coffee here, what would you like?"

"Just a glass of water is fine."

Su Lingyin poured Chen Yu a glass of hot water; one always gets a little wet on rainy days, and the damp chill follows into the body.

"Then you rest for a bit. You can look around as you like; I might have to work for a while." Su Lingyin valued her time, and seeing the documents piled on her desk, she wanted to handle them.

The lounge was only so big, so Chen Yu didn't wander around.

He watched Su Lingyin handle her work seriously.

Her brow would furrow from time to time, then relax again after a while.

"What do you want to eat for lunch? Should we order delivery or go out?"

"Either is fine, just do whatever you usually do."

"Usually..."

"You don't just solve it with instant noodles, do you?" Chen Yu guessed.

"Mm."

"Instant noodles are more convenient."

Chen Yu shook his head; well, she was a total workaholic.

She didn't even forget to handle work while on a date.

"You didn't bring me to your law firm just to handle work, did you?"

Su Lingyin shook her head: "Isn't this also part of understanding my work?"

There was a hint of slyness in her eyes.

That hadn't been her original intention; she just couldn't help herself when she saw the files.

"Fine then," Chen Yu accepted it.

After all, to like someone is to learn to accept everything about them.

Su Lingyin also felt a bit sorry towards Chen Yu.

So she tried to make amends: "How about we go back to The Cottage in a bit?"

"And your work?"

"It's fine, I can finish it quickly. Can you give me half an hour?"

"Of course, no problem."

"Right, let's stop by the supermarket later. I'll cook lunch."

Su Lingyin's eyes lit up!

That works!

...

The rain stopped.

Chen Yu and Su Lingyin returned to The Cottage carrying bags.

As soon as they entered, they heard the sound of hurried footsteps.

And it clearly wasn't a person!

It came running out with the sound of panting.

It was a dog!

It had white fluffy fur, a pair of large eyes like shiny black grapes, two little pointed ears standing up, and a happy, excited smile on its face.

It pounced over with fiery enthusiasm.

"Where did this dog come from?" Chen Yu stood in front of Su Lingyin to block the dog's advance.

The dog was clearly not shy; under Chen Yu's petting, it directly rolled over to show its belly.

"There's no danger, you can come try."

"This little Pomeranian is quite cute."

Su Lingyin also crouched down to pet the little fellow.

Its soft, fluffy little head was just like a small fur ball.

Chi Zhao walked over curiously to see who had returned.

Seeing Chen Yu, a look of obvious disappointment appeared in his eyes as he muttered, "How come it's not a new guest!"

"Chi Zhao, why didn't you say your relative was coming?" Chen Yu teased Chi Zhao whenever he could now.

He'd tease him when happy, and tease him when unhappy.

The key was that it wasn't dangerous; he didn't bite! He even comforted himself, so you didn't even have to coax him.

Chi Zhao: Death stare.

"It's my friend's dog. They asked me to take care of it for two days. I wonder if that's okay?" Xia Ningle ran out, pleading with a pitiful look in her eyes.

The little guy had just heard the door opening and ran out; she hadn't been able to keep up for a moment.

Who could refuse such a cute girl?

"It's fine, such a cute little guy."

Su Lingyin said longingly, "I really want to raise a small pet."

Chen Yu asked, "Is there some difficulty?"

Su Lingyin: "Because work is quite busy, I wouldn't be able to take good care of the little fellow."

As she said this, her lips pouted slightly.

"I can do it; my time is relatively flexible."

Su Lingyin shook her head; her eyes showed she was tempted, but she didn't respond.

After a long moment: "Never mind."

Watching Chen Yu and Su Lingyin flirt, Chi Zhao endured in silence.

Chen Yu, I've already uploaded my first song. Just wait to be defeated by me!

Chi Zhao's first work after the bet: "Who Do You Think You Are??" It expressed his anger and dissatisfaction with a certain someone—or one could say, with certain people.

[Partial lyrics:

I don't care about their cold stares and mockery

Because I have the attitude to break everything

Even if someone writes many songs, they have to admit defeat

The gap between us is like a primary schooler's drawing compared to the Dunhuang Mogao Caves]

Both the rhymes and the mood perfectly expressed the emotional core; he could beat his chest and say that this was an excellent piece of work.

...

"Following the last review of Chen Yu's 'actor,' fans have asked me to review his 'Clearly You Love Me Too.' I heard this song has been a bit of a hit lately," a slightly chubby man with bangs said to the camera.

"Let's have a listen."

The last analysis of the song 'actor' had earned his short video 38,000 likes. His usual videos only got a few thousand, so it was as if he had found the code to viral traffic.

As for whether that fan was a plant he'd hired, no one knew.

"Pause for a second!"

"The first chorus used a combination of breathy voice and head voice, singing that sorrow with an unending flow that's impossible to take back. As you can imagine, one couldn't sing this without having some emotional scars."

This video, by riding Chen Yu's popularity along with the popularity of his own existing fans, pushed the play count of this song even higher.

It could be said that he had found a popular singer to milk for all the traffic he could get!
