Chi Li guessed that only Shen Xunye would knock on his door at this time, so afraid of delaying things, he quickly went over and opened the door.
" Chi Li," Shen Xunye said, looking accusatory, "What was the meaning behind the emoji you sent me?"
Chi Li said somewhat innocently, "... I've already seen the message."
Among that pile of cat emojis, are there any strange or offensive ones? Surely not.
Shen Xunye held the phone up to him. "See for yourself."
Chi Li adjusted her angle and squinted at the viewer.
He sent a blushing cat. That's normal.
But the accompanying text is a bit odd—"[I'm going to fuck you until you meow].
?
Why doesn't he remember stealing that meme?
The heat on my cheeks exploded instantly, almost as if steam was rising from them.
"You've got guts," Shen Xunye, putting away his phone, bending down to get closer to Chi Li's face, and saying with a half-smile, "So daring to dream that way."
"... I just randomly selected the numbers."
Even though what she said was true, for some reason, Chi Li always felt guilty for lying.
Shen Xunye didn't press the issue, but simply said calmly, "Delete that unrealistic meme as soon as possible. I've sent you a new version; use that one from now on."
After saying that, he smirked and turned to leave.
Chi Li watched him walk away, bewildered.
He closed the door and immediately went over to pick up his phone, which was still lying on the pillow, to unlock it.
Shen Xunye resent the blushing cat image, but made a small adjustment to the text.
The phrase "[I'm going to fuck you until you meow]" has changed to "[I'm going to be fucked by you until I meow]".
After sending it, he emphasized again in text: This emoji is for communication purposes only and does not represent my true intentions.
Chi Li: "..."
He gripped his phone stiffly, the screen still showing his chat with Shen Xunye.
The two emojis above, one after the other and echoing each other, were like red-hot branding irons, burning into his eyes and his heart.
Chi Li slammed her phone screen face down on the pillow, as if that would make those two damned emojis disappear.
--I'll post that from now on.
--I want to be fucked by you until I meow like a cat.
"Bastard." Chi Li cursed through gritted teeth, her voice still filled with lingering shame and indignation.
Despite the cursing, a hidden corner of her heart stirred uncontrollably at Shen Xunye's sudden teasing.
The fluttering feeling, mixed with shame and anger, was faint yet clear, like a pebble thrown into a stagnant pool, stirring up layers upon layers of chaotic ripples.
Because of the little incident that happened in the morning, Chi Li didn't come out of the house until a few minutes past 10 o'clock, even later than today's protagonist Su Yuan.
However, no one thought there was anything wrong with it, including the viewers watching the show.
Su Yuan sat in the center of the group, maintaining a dignified smile as she looked at Chi Li, inwardly unimpressed by this show of force. " Chi Li, why are you so late? I was waiting for you, my only acquaintance, to introduce me to them."
"Do I have to introduce it again?" Chi Li looked slightly surprised. "Then haven't we been working on this show for nothing lately?"
[Oh dear, I smell gunpowder here! [Watching the show]]
[No matter what kind of tree peanut is, I unconditionally support my wife 0.0]
My wife was just standing up for the show. (I'm sure of it)
There's really no need to make enemies everywhere! Su Yuan is actually a pretty good person!
[I haven't made any enemies, everyone! Listen to me, Chi Li is just joking, nothing more.]
"What you find online is definitely not as knowledgeable as what people under the same roof know," Su Yuan complained, feeling somewhat aggrieved.
"That's true." Chi Li sat down in the seat Shen Xunye had saved for him, and playfully kicked his calf. "Didn't you have barbecue with Chen Anyan last night? Didn't he introduce you?"
Shen Xunye touched the spot where he had been kicked, then leaned over and whispered in Chi Li's ear, "Are there any cats around here? I think I got kicked by a naughty cat."
Chi Li: "..."
This person actually dares to mention cats; their audacity is truly growing!
"No," Chen Anyan replied to Chi Li's question. "I just asked my seniors for some musical tips... Besides, I've only been here for three days, and I don't know as much as I do online."
Jiang Lele glanced at him thoughtfully, but didn't say anything.
"Actually, a simple introduction is enough," Xie Weishui said, trying to smooth things over. "To truly understand them, you'll need to spend more time with them yourself."
"But I heard that Teacher Su is only staying here for three days, right?" Jiang Lele chewed the hard candy in her mouth with a crunching sound.
Yesterday, after he officially announced on " Sing for You " that he would be coming to the Raising House, the production team also shared his schedule.
"Yes, the originally scheduled guest needs to postpone their arrival by three days." Mentioning her connection to Jiang Yue, Su Yuan's smile deepened. "I'm close to him, and at his request, I came to scout things out first."
Knowing the truth, Chi Li looked at Su Yuan as if she were looking at a seriously ill patient living in delusion.
"A good relationship?" Wei Xuan asked, intrigued. "Could you tell me a little bit about who it is?"
As he spoke, he took out his phone and began searching for [ Su Yuan's friends in the industry].
Su Yuan: "You can try to guess, but I won't give you any hints, whether you guess right or wrong."
He only learned about Jiang Yue's upcoming arrival at the Raising House through special channels; not even a rumor had leaked out.
He probably won't come out now to refute the ridiculous rumor that ' Su Yuan and Jiang Yue have a good relationship'.
If he arrives on time three days later, the rumor will automatically come true.
The thought of their names being placed together again filled Su Yuan with excitement.
" Liu Qi?" Wei Xuan began reading out the search results one by one. " Hu Jing? You Li? Jiang Ming?..."
Su Yuan originally wanted Wei Xuan to smile more obviously when he mentioned Jiang Yue's name, to give the audience some hints.
But even after reading through more than a dozen names, he still hadn't heard Jiang Yue's name.
Wei Xuan was also tired of reciting. "I'm sure the person is among these 16."
Jiang Lele rolled her eyes at him, "Why don't you just read out the names of all 100 of his fellow contestants from that year's talent show? Wouldn't that increase your chances?"
A glimmer of hope ignited in Su Yuan's eyes.
But the next second, his hope was dashed once again.
Wei Xuan scoffed, "Those aren't 100 classmates! They're 100 competitors!!"
Su Yuan: "..."
There are surprisingly many people here who lack tact and social awareness.
"They're competitors and friends, is that so strange?" Jiang Lele wasn't trying to speak for anyone, she just wanted to argue with Wei Xuan.
