"So, what do you say? This girl should be reliable, right?"
"Scumbag! Your head is full of other women. Couldn't you say something else for your first sentence when meeting me?"
Chen Yusheng complained righteously, but she was smiling. With light steps, she came up to Su Bai, sat sideways on his lap to act coquettishly, her long legs in black tights pressed tightly together without a gap. She buried her face in Su Bai's neck, rubbing against him affectionately, her body swaying gently, looking very happy for some unknown reason.
Su Bai could tell that Chen Yusheng had indeed been sticking to her workouts recently. The sign was simple: her steps were much lighter. By observing a person's walking posture, it was easy to see their usual amount of exercise.
Those who walk fast, light, and look pale and weak are mostly big guys who just finished leg day...
"Well, I'm just aiming for efficiency. If our main event starts later, we won't have the spare time to talk about other women. We can't exactly discuss this while doing that... What was her name again?"
"Li Xingya. Ugh, you're so annoying, playing dumb!"
Sitting on Su Bai's lap, Chen Yusheng could still get a little feeling of being a petite bird resting on a person. After all, Su Bai was very tall and his build provided an immense sense of security.
She once thought that a girl over 1.7 meters tall like herself would probably find it hard to experience being a cute little bird; a giant roc spreading its wings would be more like it.
For some reason, she always felt that girls over 1.7 meters tall walking on the street often had boyfriends who weren't very tall, whereas petite and delicate girls were exceptionally particular about their boyfriends' height.
Perhaps it was the mindset of compensating for what you lack at work...
Chen Yusheng didn't actually care too much about this aspect, but if she could experience the feeling of being completely enveloped in an embrace, that would naturally be the best... which was exactly the perfect experience Su Bai gave her.
After laughing and joking for a while, Chen Yusheng gave a serious evaluation: "She's very good. I feel like it's hard to recruit someone this reliable even within the university."
"Right? Like I said, I was finding a subordinate for you."
"What about Professor Luo's side?"
"I asked Xia to help put in a word, so don't worry about it." Su Bai thought this was a simple matter. That professor would be more than happy for Chen Yusheng to have someone to help with the grunt work and produce more results. After all, it was under his lab's name, so he would benefit from it too.
For things like publishing papers, it's good to have a big tree to lean on. No matter how capable a young person is, they still need to attach a name. Professor Luo and the big boss above him were very reliable.
Given the dual deterrence of money and Xia, it was even more reliable, forming a very healthy cooperative situation.
"But she's so strange. She clearly has a great natural foundation, but she doesn't dress up at all and acts so cautious... a bit like Lu Yuning?" Chen Yusheng found a rather distinct point of comparison.
Ningning also had a cautious and soft personality.
"There's still a difference. Ningning is purely soft and sweet. Li Xingya's caution is probably just brought about by the limitations of her family background and environment. Once her situation changes, she will naturally loosen up a lot."
"Understood. Big White Goose wants me to help her loosen up her body, and then..."
Chen Yusheng smiled wickedly.
This moment made Su Bai a little dazed. Shengsheng's wicked look was exactly like a villain seducing an innocent girl down an evil path.
No, not an evil path.
I am clearly giving every S-class goddess a happy life, this is a good thing!
"Then I'll leave it to you!"
Chen Yusheng was full of motivation and dragged Li Xingya to the lab to familiarize her with the place that evening.
Li Xingya was still a little dizzy, still reeling from the aftershocks of being overwhelmed by happiness.
With her undergraduate background, being able to join such a good research group at a prestigious university to gain experience was incredibly lucky, not to mention being guided by someone as amazing as Chen Yusheng.
Although Chen Yusheng was technically her junior in terms of age...
But actually, it was even better. Communication was smooth and unhindered, and since they were both girls, it saved a lot of trouble.
Li Xingya was still very afraid of being targeted by men in that way.
Due to her family situation, she had a bit of psychological trauma from a young age.
However, Su Bai was an exception. Su Bai made her feel very comfortable, so much so that the fact that he didn't show even a hint of interest in her actually made Li Xingya feel a little disappointed.
As for Su Bai, he had a dinner date with Zhou Jialu.
Come to think of it, it seemed like it had been quite a while since he had eaten with Zhou Jialu... referring to just the two of them alone.
After all, the little housekeeper was also very busy. She had to maintain the operation of the Ascott landscape stacked villa, and there was also the large flat Su Bai bought a while ago, where some furniture still needed to be arranged.
Honestly, the original furnished furniture was already very high-class, but Su Bai's pursuit was rather extreme. Since it was a house he bought himself, he definitely wanted to transform it into a state where every detail was maxed out.
In all fairness, Su Bai felt that Zhou Jialu had done a good job, and it was time to pamper his senior sister a bit as a reward for her hard work.
In the VIP private room of a private kitchen restaurant, Zhou Jialu wore a mysterious smile and asked Su Bai if he had found a little sister for Chen Yusheng.
"Your information is that well-informed?"
"What do you mean? I didn't ask around on purpose. They were discussing it in the group chat."
"Huh?"
Su Bai glanced at his confidantes' group chat, and they were actually discussing Li Xingya.
It seemed that the familiarity among this group of women had deepened...
After all, only a very united group would harmoniously gossip and chime in like villagers at the entrance of a village when welcoming a new member...
Perhaps every girl had her own little calculations in her heart, but not many, and it did no harm.
"It's about time to find someone to help Shengsheng share the workload. You see, the rest of us aren't very educated. We can't even chat with Shengsheng about scientific research topics normally."
"...Senior sister, aren't we from the same university?"
"Oh, that's true, but I always feel so stupid compared to Shengsheng. I was half-dead studying advanced math back then. Look at Shengsheng, publishing papers at such a young age, and in very prestigious journals too."
Zhou Jialu skillfully peeled shrimp for Su Bai while complaining.
"Everyone has their own ambitions. Your strengths lie elsewhere, senior sister... Being a good housekeeper is also hard. This home would fall apart without you."
Su Bai just casually praised her a couple of times, making Zhou Jialu incredibly happy.
Emotional value varies from person to person. If a girl doesn't like you, even if you have a silver tongue, you won't be able to touch her heartstrings. Conversely, with Su Bai just casually spouting nonsense, Zhou Jialu was extremely happy.
In fact, compared to other wealthy wives, Zhou Jialu's life was quite busy. It couldn't be helped; who told her to choose the role of a housekeeper?
But she felt that it was all worth it. After all, Su Bai was not on the same level as those ordinary rich men. To be worthy of Su Bai, she naturally had to put in the effort.
