If he weren't forced to, for the sake of survival, he probably wouldn't have gritted his teeth, his legs trembling, and haggled with the barber shop owner, even making various demands.
He wouldn't drag his exhausted body to an internet cafe to rest, as the aftermath of heatstroke is extremely difficult to endure. That night, he didn't even have the appetite to order anything to eat at the internet cafe.
He certainly wouldn't participate in a dating reality show and face cameras that would be watched by countless people online. This is a completely unfamiliar world; he doesn't even have a secure livelihood, so how could he possibly come up with five million? Ma Ling's company is about to go bankrupt, and she's barely managing herself, let alone caring about him.
Thankfully, we've made it through the first phase. Once the project funds arrive in a few days, I'll be able to pay off the loan ahead of schedule! The days of being a couch potato and a complete NEET are finally here!
"It's almost all fallen off, just bear with it a little longer, and don't scratch if it itches."
Yan Guiyun's magnetic voice pulled him back to reality. Looking at his elbow, Yan Guiyun had already applied a very thin layer of transparent gel to it. He then slowly pulled down the sleeve, his movements extremely careful, as if he were some kind of antique treasure.
Chi Yining: "Hmm"
The moment he saw the food on the table downstairs, he was already thinking about how to tell his manager about quitting the show. But dating reality shows... oh well, spending time with Brother Yan isn't out of the question.
"What are you thinking about?" Yan Guiyun's smile was faint, and his deep, dark eyes seemed to be focused solely on him.
Chi Yining's gaze fell on Yan Guiyun's hands that were holding his. "It's nothing, Brother Yan. You like cats so much, how about getting one? Or are you allergic to cat fur?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Guiyun chuckled softly, "One cat is enough."
Chi Yining was particularly puzzled. Logically speaking, a 183cm tall guy like him shouldn't look like a kitten, right?
Then he asked, "Then, why does Brother Yan think I look like a kitten?"
Yan Guiyun: "You'll understand when you grow to 192cm or taller and get in shape."
For the first time Chi Yining felt like rolling his eyes and twitching. His body was truly a master of energy conservation; being 183cm tall in his previous life was one thing, but being 183cm tall after transmigrating into a book—was it his fault?
And with muscles built up to be so... well, so firm and taut, won't they hurt you when you sleep?
Besides, if he's 192cm and Brother Yan is 192cm, then when Brother Yan carries him in a princess carry like last time, wouldn't it turn into a cross? His legs could even get stuck on the stairs with his legs outstretched—the scene is too beautiful to bear...
Chi Yining suddenly had a flash of inspiration, her eyes widening to a barely perceptible degree. " Brother Yan, shouldn't a domineering CEO be someone who goes to university at 13, graduates with a bachelor's, master's, and doctorate at 18, is fluent in eight languages, and proficient in various martial arts? Surrounded by handsome men and beautiful women, do you have all those halos?"
Yan Guiyun: "..." So socially awkward people have so many problems after making friends?
Yan Guiyun raised an eyebrow slightly, her tone indifferent. "You can learn about the rest later, but there won't be any handsome men or beautiful women surrounding you, because I'll kick them all away."
Chi Yining: "..."
Kicked away? That's fake, no way. Who would believe that? Brother Yan is such a gentle person.
At 9:30 p. m.
This time, Chi Yining didn't copy sentences from the internet. After going through many revisions, she finally finished writing the letter.
To avoid running into other guests, Chi Yining left early.
