After playfully deducting points, Lin Wanfeng stretched. “Hey, Boyfriend, is your stomach still hurting? Any other discomfort?”
Ling Cheng looked at her concerned eyes and felt a twinge of guilt inside.
“Not anymore. I rested for a bit and I’m fine.”
“Are you an idiot, Boyfriend? Do you think just enduring a stomachache is okay? Here, this is the medicine I bought for you.”
Seeing Ling Cheng’s nonchalant expression, Lin Wanfeng grew a bit annoyed. She puffed out her cheeks lightly and slid the medicine she just bought over to him.
“And remember, your health is the most important thing. Don’t skimp on money when you’re in pain.” Lin Wanfeng tapped her phone a few times, looking unusually skilled.
“AliPay transfer received: 3000 yuan.” The payment notification sounded from Ling Cheng’s phone.
“This money…?” Ling Cheng looked at his phone. Sure enough, it was from Lin Wanfeng.
“It’s your salary, salary. Besides, you got a stomachache while playing with me, so it’s only natural to take care of my Boyfriend.”
Lin Wanfeng thought to herself, guys always like to tough it out; even when they’re sick, they won’t spend money on medicine, thinking they can just grit their teeth and get through it.
Ling Cheng is just like that—what an idiot. He’d spend money to buy me a birthday cake without hesitation, but he won’t spend a cent on medicine for himself. I have to buy it for him.
Seeing Ling Cheng take the medicine with the warm water provided by the restaurant, Lin Wanfeng felt relieved and returned to her usual cheerful demeanor.
“Thank you.”
“What’s there to thank? As my Boyfriend, just listen to me obediently. Now let’s order.”
Lin Wanfeng brought the menu; she had already done her research on the dishes.
“Let me tell you, this place’s most famous dishes are the salt-baked lobster and this crème brûlée.”
“Oh, right, right, the vegetable salad here is also very famous. What kind of dressing do you like?”
“I’m fine with anything.”
Ling Cheng naturally went along with Lin Wanfeng’s preferences—after all, she was his Big Sponsor. No, he should call her Big Sponsor instead.
After the two had eaten their fill, they leisurely walked to the most famous part of the aquarium—the underwater tunnel.
Surrounded by seawater on all sides, with countless fish swimming above their heads, both Ling Cheng and Lin Wanfeng couldn’t help but gasp in amazement.
“Hey hey, Boyfriend, it’s so beautiful here. Let’s take a photo together.” Lin Wanfeng pulled Ling Cheng close.
“Huh!?”
“Don’t move, Boyfriend, or the shot will be blurry.” Lin Wanfeng adjusted the camera while hugging Ling Cheng even tighter.
“I got it, but this is too close.” Ling Cheng could smell Lin Wanfeng’s light fragrance, and his arm even brushed against a soft area he shouldn’t have.
“Click!”
The scene of the two leaning together in front of the swimming fish was forever captured by the phone camera.
“I sent it to you. Remember to set it as your phone wallpaper, Boyfriend.” There was a note of undeniable authority in Lin Wanfeng’s tone.
“Maybe one day my family will want to invite you over. Without some kind of intimate proof like this, what if they don’t believe me?”
“Alright, alright, I’ll change it right away.” After all, she was his biggest client. After hearing her explanation, Ling Cheng didn’t hesitate to change his phone’s lock screen wallpaper.
Lin Wanfeng showed a satisfied smile. “Boyfriend, it’s about time. I need to get going.”
“So soon?” Ling Cheng felt a bit apologetic; he hadn’t been able to take her around properly on her birthday.
“Boyfriend, are you that reluctant to let me go? Then next time, come with me for a drive.”
The girl in front of him stood with her hands behind her back in front of the acrylic wall, her profile illuminated by the pale blue underwater lights, looking exceptionally beautiful.
“What? Staring like that?” Sensing Ling Cheng’s unblinking gaze, Lin Wanfeng joked.
“A little bit, because Miss is very cute.” Ling Cheng answered honestly, which instead made Lin Wanfeng shy.
“Too bad, Boyfriend. You should have said that when we first met today. Now it’s expired, and you can’t redeem any reward.”
Chatting and laughing, the two walked out of the aquarium entrance. After seeing Lin Wanfeng off, the moment Ling Cheng opened his phone, he saw Chu Xiaoxiao’s messages.
Chu Xiaoxiao: Game theme song.mp3
Chu Xiaoxiao: Game interlude.mp3
Chu Xiaoxiao: I’ve sent you the music. Listen to it and see if there are any problems. If there are, I can pay extra to have it revised.
Ling Cheng: Thank you so much, I’ll listen to it right away.
The theme song features electric guitar and bass as accompaniment, with ethereal vocals and a lively, tight rhythm—definitely a professional-level commercial work.
The lyrics focus on vows, which also fits the overall tone of the game.
Ling Cheng: OK, it fully meets my expectations.
Ling Cheng: Thanks.
Seeing Ling Cheng’s message, Chu Xiaoxiao’s heart pounded violently again.
Chu Xiaoxiao’s mind involuntarily replayed the scene from this morning over and over. The more she tried to forget, the more clearly she remembered it.
“Aaaah!” Chu Xiaoxiao rolled around wildly on the bed. “He saw everything!”
“That guy, he won’t be thinking about me and doing… that kind of thing tonight, will he?” Chu Xiaoxiao hugged her pillow, lost in wild fantasies again.
…
Just as Ling Cheng was accompanying Lin Wanfeng out of the aquarium entrance, a familiar figure appeared behind them—Hua Manyue.
“That back looks like Senior Ling Cheng.” Spotting Ling Cheng’s back, Hua Manyue immediately stopped in her tracks.
“What’s wrong, Manyue?” The girl beside her asked in confusion.
“Nothing, nothing. Let’s keep going. I heard there’s a dolphin exhibit ahead!”
After confirming it was Ling Cheng, Hua Manyue stopped looking in that direction, but an unusual ripple stirred in her heart.
Because… the girl beside Senior Ling Cheng was clearly not the Senior An Xin she had seen before, nor was it Senior Chu Xiaoxiao.
Senior is very popular.
Hua Manyue had originally thought Senior An Xin was Senior Ling Cheng’s girlfriend, but now it seemed that wasn’t the case.
If that’s the case, does that mean I have a chance too?
Hua Manyue bit her spoon while savoring a rose-colored sundae called Maiden’s Heart.
And around Ling Cheng, an even larger battlefield of love rivalry was about to unfold.
