Chapter 117 - 114: A More Proper Dance
Chen Jincheng nodded in confirmation. "Don’t get needlessly jealous. I’ve spent the whole day with you. There’s absolutely no way I’d get involved with another woman today. That’s my bottom line."
As he spoke, he asked in return, "Don’t you believe me?"
"I believe you." Jiang Xiaobai was very pleased to hear this, happily pressing her face against his chest to listen to his heartbeat.
Player Chen’s heartbeat was steady. He wasn’t lying.
’He’s made a promise. I don’t have to worry about him going to find that hussy, Yinyin, today.’
’I’m so happy!’
Seeing that he had placated the girl, Chen Jincheng breathed a sigh of relief.
’It wasn’t really a lie. After all, once it hits midnight, ’today’ will be over.’
He glanced at the watch the girl had bought him. Seeing it was almost time, he quickly said, "Alright, it’s almost midnight. I need to wash up and go discuss some business."
"I’ll get you a change of clothes!" Jiang Xiaobai said, then dashed to the wardrobe. She opened it to reveal a section dedicated to several sets of brand-new men’s clothes, the tags still on. "I bought them for you when I got the watch. Which set do you want to wear?"
"The blue set, I guess. Something simple." Chen Jincheng said as he went into the bathroom. When he came out, the girl had already cut the tags off the clothes and laid them out neatly.
"Can’t you put something on?" Chen Jincheng remarked, looking at Jiang Xiaobai sitting on the sofa, completely exposed.
"But I want you to look at me more. If I put clothes on, how could you do that?" Jiang Xiaobai said sweetly, without the slightest inhibition.
"..." Chen Jincheng was speechless.
’This girl is using every trick in the book to seduce me, not missing a single opportunity.’
’Too bad. As a man who has lived two lives and was already Feng Xin in another world, he would never fall into that abyss again.’
’It’s enough to have women around. There’s no need to let them into his heart.’
He picked up the clothes and put them on, then said to the girl, "Get some rest. I’m off to discuss business. If you really can’t sleep, go over the lyrics for ’Can’t Help Falling in Love.’ We’re going to the bar to record it tomorrow."
...
After leaving Xilin District, he was driving down the street when he passed a barbecue stall. He instinctively put the car in reverse and backed up.
The two words "Grilled Kidneys" on the sign made him instinctively rub his lower back.
’A young man has to have some self-control. It’s all that girl Jiang Xiaobai’s fault for being so insatiable.’
He parked the car, got out, and walked straight to the stall owner. "Two orders of kidneys!"
"You got it. Two kidneys," the owner replied immediately.
Chen Jincheng found a table and sat down.
Grilling kidneys wasn’t a quick process, so he waited for some time before they arrived at his table.
Just then, he received a message from Yinyin: "Boss, I’ve finished my stream."
"Yeah, I’m on my way," Chen Jincheng replied, picking up a grilled kidney and taking a bite.
Just then, a curious voice piped up. "That’s Chen Jincheng. It’s really him."
Clearly, someone had recognized him.
Two surprised young men gathered around him.
"Hey guys!" Chen Jincheng smiled and greeted them.
’Anyone who recognizes me is either a follower or someone who’s seen my videos—a potential fan, in other words.’
"It’s really you, Cheng! We’re big fans. Can we get a picture with you?"
"Cheng, that thing you said about money being for women to see, not for them to spend? You were spot on."
"Exactly! You date someone and spend all your savings, then six months after you break up, your wallet is full again. Why waste money on women?"
Chen Jincheng didn’t refuse their request for a photo. He stood up and struck a pose.
After taking the picture, the two young men were very polite and didn’t pester him further. They went to a nearby table, sat down, and started posting on their phones to their social media.
The caption was probably something along the lines of, "Ran into Chen Jincheng while grabbing some BBQ."
However, once the two young men revealed his identity as a major influencer, other people nearby started taking out their phones to film him.
Seeing this, Chen Jincheng quickly finished his two orders of kidneys, paid the bill, and got back in his car. At that moment, he received another message from Yinyin: "Boss, I’ve left the office!"
It was accompanied by a selfie she’d taken in a full-length mirror outside her company’s building.
The girl’s strapless, form-fitting dress, a perfect blend of innocent and seductive, outlined her figure, making her look just like a ripe peach.
’The crucial thing is, a dress like that has a very low defense rating. If she ran into a creep, it wouldn’t offer any resistance at all, whether they yanked it down or hiked it up.’
Before long, Chen Jincheng pulled into the underground garage of the Jinmao Building. He spotted Yinyin already waiting for him. She happily opened the passenger door and slid in, then looked sweetly at Chen Jincheng. "Boss, a hotel or my place? I already have a toothbrush and a change of clothes for you at my apartment."
’Obviously, with that line, the girl was making it clear she wanted to go to her place.’
Chen Jincheng wasn’t so clueless as to suggest a hotel. He started the car and headed toward Taihe District, where she lived.
"Boss, my video got taken down. Does that mean I can’t make videos like that anymore?" Yinyin was clearly genuinely upset. That video meant a lot to her. It was how she’d used her outstanding "Big Pendulum" to stand out from the crowd and get his attention.
You could say that video was what made her.
"If you can’t make them, you can’t make them," Chen Jincheng comforted her. "When you’re trying to get famous, it’s okay to use some cheap tricks to make a name for yourself. But once you’re famous, you have to be a bit more respectable."
"So what direction should I go in now?" Yinyin asked.
"The fact that you’re even thinking about your direction is progress!" Chen Jincheng praised her with a smile. "As for what direction to take, I’ll teach you a more respectable dance later."
’In his other world, he knew of a female influencer who would be the perfect model for Yinyin right now.’
That influencer wasn’t on Tiao Yin, but she was a top creator on Dou Sha with nearly eight million followers on that platform alone. She was number one in the entertainment and dance category, and she’d even gone viral across the web for two of her dance series. A lot of pervs specifically went to Dou Sha just to follow her.
"What dance is it?" Yinyin asked curiously.
"The dance is called ’The Big Pendulum’!" Chen Jincheng said with a smile.
"???" Yinyin froze.
’Didn’t he say it was a respectable dance? How come the name alone sounds anything but?’
