Su Bai wasn’t too optimistic about Hu Ye’s new online ID.
It gave him the vibe of getting divorced after marriage and losing 3.47 million in the settlement.
But since Hu Ye and Leilei were currently hitting it off, Su Bai didn’t want to rain on their parade. He could only remind him again to "be careful" before shifting his focus back to the sound system.
XX Cloud, boot up!
Su Bai opened his usual music app.
According to audiophiles, professional equipment should be tested with dedicated lossless audio files—like Tsai Chin’s "The Ferry," for example.
Supposedly, it covers a full range of frequencies?
Su Bai didn’t care. He usually just listened to whatever was on the app. If he bought expensive speakers, he’d play the songs he liked—why bother with all that technical nonsense?
After listening to a track from his usual cringey anime band, Shark Egg Wooden Cabinet, he was satisfied with the sound.
By the time he finished rearranging some items in his study, it was almost noon, and Chen Yusheng finally stirred awake.
If she stayed up late gaming, she could usually wake up naturally before lunch—a true otaku’s discipline!
But if it was an anime marathon with Su Bai, all bets were off.
Following the music, Chen Yusheng padded into the study and wrapped her arms around Su Bai from behind, her slender curves pressing against his back. Though delicate, her figure was perfectly proportioned—every gram of fat distributed just right.
She rose on her tiptoes, resting her chin on his shoulder as she closed her eyes to listen.
"Sounds amazing!"
"Right? Even without soundproofing, for someone like me who grew up listening to square-dance speakers, anything slightly high-end sounds incredible."
"Hmm, you’re easily pleased," Chen Yusheng mused. "Let’s watch anime after lunch. The real deal, not just background noise. Then we can play that game from last night…"
"Wow, my whole day’s booked, huh?"
Su Bai turned to face her, pinching her cheek.
She averted her gaze slightly.
"It’s not like I’m forcing you… Just a suggestion. If you have other plans, go ahead…"
Her voice was soft, tinged with a hint of grievance and worry that he might be upset.
It felt like a gentle veil brushing against Su Bai’s heart.
Moments like these reminded him that dating Chen Yusheng was the right choice.
She embodied everything Xiao Chunan and his ilk would fantasize about in a first love.
"Spending time with you is my only plan for today."
"…Wait, don’t kiss me yet—I haven’t brushed my teeth."
Blushing, Chen Yusheng lightly pushed him away, then buried her face in his chest, nudging him with her forehead.
For an average-height guy, this might’ve been tricky—but at 173 cm, Chen Yusheng was a tall beauty.
Luckily, Su Bai was tall enough to accommodate all her whims.
She then dragged him to brush their teeth, standing on his slippers with her back to him, letting him shuffle them forward.
"Such a child!" Su Bai teased.
"Says the guy who bought premium speakers just to listen to ‘Spring Shadow’…"
"What’s wrong with ‘Spring Shadow’? Don’t act like you don’t love it."
"Hehe, I do~"
Their playful bickering made time fly. By the time Su Bai finished an anime episode, it was already noon.
Lunch arrived from a Chinese restaurant. As Wan Xinyan set the dishes on the table, she watched Su Bai and Chen Yusheng cling to each other while descending the stairs and sighed inwardly.
Ah, of course. Su Bai and Yusheng were just too perfect together—aligned in interests, chemistry undeniable. To Su Bai, Yusheng was clearly the priority; she and her sister still hadn’t carved out much space in his heart.
But there was no helping it. She’d just have to keep working hard, starting with excelling at her maid duties.
"Food’s ready…"
Su Bai rolled up his sleeves, ready to dig in, but before he could take more than a few bites, his phone buzzed with a flurry of WeChat notifications.
It was that anime club senior from earlier—Xiao Xiong—spamming him with photos.
Without hesitation, Su Bai did something that would make the Wan sisters facepalm: he opened each image, zoomed in, and scrutinized them.
"Hmm… their cosplay shots from the con. Not bad. Guess Jiangcheng University’s anime club isn’t just for show."
"Su Bai, you’re unbelievable! How dare you look at these in front of me? And you even—" Chen Yusheng’s gaze dropped, her expression twisting.
The kicker? She'd just been acting cute, her leg draped over his thigh, yet here he was, shamelessly ogling another girl's selfies.
These weren’t the kind of photos you’d dare post on social media—the sort that’d get you roasted on Xiaohongshu for "appealing to male gaze."
And yet, this senior had the audacity to send them directly to Su Bai!
Chen Yusheng snatched his phone and typed a reply:
[Puff Pastry Goose: Hi, Su Bai’s in the shower. I’m his girlfriend. Can I pass along a message?]
Su Bai peeked over her shoulder and laughed. "Since when am I showering?"
"You are! You are!" Chen Yusheng insisted, doubling down. "Or were you planning to engage with her? These photos are obviously her trying to seduce you."
Zhou Jialu joined in, glanced at the photos, and delivered a blunt verdict: "Not as big as mine."
"True, but there’s a certain charm to them…"
Su Bai replied breezily, unfazed by the girls’ theatrics as he leisurely continued his meal.
Credit where it’s due—the Chinese restaurant at the Yashige Hotel was solid.
Rumor had it that visiting professors at Jiangcheng University who stayed there often opted to dine in rather than venture out.
Their chefs specialized in local Jiangcheng cuisine, though compared to the rustic fare Su Bai’s group had tried before, the flavors here were milder, more refined—health-conscious, even.
Business travelers probably needed that.
Su Bai, however, wasn’t big on "health-conscious." More pretty girls were always welcome, though his standards were high. Someone like Xiao Xiong? Not even worth considering.
The kind of character who’d barely warrant a physical description in a web novel.
Once Zhou Jialu and Chen Yusheng finished dissecting the photos, Su Bai smirked. "You’re overthinking it. I’m not interested in her—just her cosplay outfit. You know I’ve always liked that genre."

he colors of other people’s emotions. Light red meant anxiety. Gray meant exhaustion. Orange meant excitement. Yellow... meant repression. At the same time, he could gain unlimited control over one of those colors. Pale cyan: relaxation. Using this ability, he started offering “two-yuan hugs,” spending an afternoon exchanging emotional-color experiences with others. Then came his final female customer of the day— a girl whose emotional color was pure black... —— A week later, Xu Chuan had become skilled at using pale cyan—Relaxation—treating it like a bottle of menthol balm whenever he needed it. That was when he discovered he had unlocked another unlimited emotional color: Purple, the color of fear. So these emotional colors refresh every week? Fine, I take it back—I’ll never call you useless again... —— Much later, after Xu Chuan had accumulated countless emotional abilities, one night, he suddenly found himself inside someone else’s dream.
