Su Bai had to admit, for a split second, his heart skipped a beat.
To be fair, this Reporter Xu was absolutely top-tier. Her attitude was so earnest that it compelled him to seriously consider her proposal.
However, before Su Bai could offer any response, her movements didn't cease.
The faint rustle of fabric friction and the wind noise from the rooftop of the high-rise—filtered through the glass curtain wall of the sky garden—blended together perfectly...
...
Su Bai immediately grimaced.
Xia Lin and Zhou Jialu were right outside, not far away. If they were exposed and discovered... well, it wouldn't exactly be dangerous. Su Bai was a man of broad affections, and it wasn't the first day they had known that. But at the very least, Su Bai still pretended to be a decent human being capable of feeling embarrassment. Xu Xinran seemed to have realized this and appeared exceptionally excited by it.
...
Su Bai estimated that her height was slightly shorter than Zhou Jialu—just a tiny bit.
...
Xu Xinran seemed to have reached an enlightenment.
...
The two women outside, unable to find Su Bai, didn't just stand around foolishly. They sent Su Bai a message, and upon receiving no reply, guessed that he might have gone to inspect the residential complex's clubhouse. After all, anyone familiar with Su Bai knew he enjoyed swimming and taking baths.
So, they left.
"Phew..." Su Bai let out a long sigh. Just as he was about to make a snarky comment, a notification from the System popped up in his mind.
[Detected S-Class Goddess Xu Xinran. Favorability +1.]
Huh??
So this woman really did have some strange kink. Just now, when they were hiding behind the flower trellis "playing" alone, her favorability hadn't budged. But the result of... well, it was instant.
Just as Su Bai was forming this hypothesis, Xu Xinran gave a wicked smile and said, "..."
...
"It was alright," Su Bai quickly interrupted. "Are so-called superior genes really that important? Important enough for you to invest so heavily just to seduce me?"
Su Bai had indeed heard that women from some wealthy families would go to great lengths to seek out high-quality mates. Tracing it back to the source, it was mostly for the sake of the next generation.
However, from a biological perspective, genetic expression tends to regress to the mean.
For example, even if both parents are graduates of prestigious universities, there is a high probability that their children will possess mediocre learning abilities, perhaps only managing to get into an ordinary college despite hard work.
Of course, that was thinking from a bystander's perspective. If one were to be technical, having a child with Su Bai would indeed result in a high probability of excellent offspring. After all, Su Bai's genes had been modified; strictly speaking, he wasn't even entirely human anymore.
"It is worth it. This is something I've been very concerned about for the past two years. If I can't find a suitable partner, I might just give up on having children altogether."
"Would your parents agree to that?" Su Bai figured that tycoons in the media industry wouldn't tolerate their family bloodline being severed.
"It's fine. I have a younger brother who is about to start elementary school. In the future, whether it's the family assets or the leadership of the group, it will all be handed over to him. My being a reporter is just a personal hobby."
That poor little brother, shouldering such a heavy burden before even starting elementary school... Su Bai secretly roasted the situation in his mind, but he roughly understood. It seemed the responsibilities resting on Xu Xinran were much lighter than those on Xia Lin, who was, after all, an only child.
Precisely because of this, her style of conduct was much more uninhibited than Xia Lin's. If Xia Lin was a traditionalist young miss, then this Reporter Xu was undoubtedly a reformist.
...
Of course, she had watched educational videos in private, but those things were too clinical and felt intangible.
But was she supposed to be like the rich cougars in her circle, spending money to hire handsome young men for "research"?
That felt dirty.
The vast majority of men in this world triggered a subconscious revulsion in Xu Xinran—a physiological rejection. Su Bai was an exception. He smelled very good. Squeezed into the narrow space behind the vine trellis with him, Xu Xinran felt as if her entire body was stained with Su Bai's scent. It was wonderful.
...
"I don't want to!"
Su Bai shook his head helplessly and patted Xu Xinran on the back...
What surprised Su Bai was that... her eyes even flickered with a deeper level of curiosity.
...
This made Su Bai click his tongue in secret wonder. Could it be that...
Well, it wasn't impossible. To a large extent, this kind of thing really just depended on natural talent.
Feigning that nothing had happened, Su Bai strode out with large steps.
"I'm going to meet up with them for lunch. Please suit yourself, Reporter Xu."
"Mmh, go ahead. I didn't intend to disturb you all anyway."
Xu Xinran left in a hurry. While Su Bai could still see her retreating figure, he noticed she had already started making a phone call to communicate something.
Only then did Su Bai remember that she seemed to have captured some explosive scoop.
Was she arranging for her staff to publish a press release right now?
He didn't know.
Su Bai was completely in the dark regarding the news industry, nor did he wish to wade into those muddy waters.
The most critical matter at hand right now was still lunch.
Time to order.
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. There, he could use the emotional colors he possessed to paint. And in her dream, he painted her a shower of pink shooting stars, spreading across the depths of the night sky...
