Chapter 144: Caught Red-Handed?

Chen Xiaoyan sent various personal messages to Singer Y’s Weibo every day—one each on either side of noon.

Among them, ‘Good morning’ and ‘Good night’ were the most frequent, followed by ‘Pay attention to me just once’ and ‘Say something’.

Ye Lingchen did not reply to any of them.

It was mainly because he did not know how to face Chen Xiaoyan.

Originally, the two were just strangers, but because of an unexpected mishap that led to some rather indescribable things, the relationship became more complex.

Chen Xiaoyan had shown a clear indication that she wanted to chase after him. If such a dazzling beauty was determined to offer herself, Ye Lingchen felt pleased but was also unsure know how best to deal with it.

If he were to accept, it would be much too inconvenient because he had many secrets. If he chose not to accept her, the fact remained that she gave him some special service in the past. He could not possibly be friends with benefits with her, as that would be too irresponsible.

Chen Xiaoyan was persistent for days on end, without fail. There were no breaks in-between days.

It was evident however, that Ye Lingchen was making her extra anxious at that time. She privately messaged him, [Y, I just want you to keep me company and talk to me, can you please not ignore me?]

[Hmph. If you ignore me again, I’ll post on Weibo saying that you disappeared after sleeping with me!]

The destructive power of that last sentence was undoubtedly massive—Ye Lingchen could not just ignore it.

After holding back for a long time, he replied stiffly, [Hey.]

[You’re finally willing to reply!] Ye Lingchen could her excitement through the text. He subsequently received a long string of words.

[Y, thank you very much. My life would have been ruined if I hadn’t met you! You not only saved me but also let me fulfill my dream. I don’t know how to thank you.]

[Actually, I went crazy that night because I was in despair. I’m not a casual woman. I’m all grown up but men only lust for me, so I’ve never had a boyfriend before. I can do laundry, I can cook, I’m a good girl. Just come out and meet me once, is that okay?]

Chen Xiaoyan’s unparalleled sincerity left Ye Lingchen speechless for a moment.

[Mm, I believe you.] Ye Lingchen replied shallowly in the end. He then followed up with [My identity is a bit special. I don’t want to show myself yet for the time being.]

[I understand.] Chen Xiaoyan seemed to have considered that aspect too. After all, a myriad of Ys was running rampant and set off wave after wave of trends. There must be some personal reason why all those Ys chose not to show themselves.

Instead of forcing it, she continued: [Then you can wear a mask. Just accompany me from time to time, OK?]

Did she want to date him while he wore a mask?

[We’ll talk about it again when we have the chance.] Ye Lingchen did not decline outright.

Seeing Y’s reply on her phone, Chen Xiaoyan burst into a childlike smile and jumped down from the bed in excitement. Her face was red, and it took her a long time to calm down.

Ye Lingchen said very little, but her heart felt a sweetness similar to that of honey. She looked at the phone stupidly and her face was fully red. Was that how it felt to fall in love?

Then, she continued typing: [Y, China’s Top Voice wants me to participate in their new season. Can you come and watch me live? It’s okay if you’re just there as an ordinary audience member. I just hope you can see me on stage. I feel at ease only if you’re there.]

She gripped the phone tightly after sending it. Her face was tense as she waited for Y’s reply.

[Sure!]

One simple word was enough to make her heart beat wildly. She was so happy that she began humming.

Ye Lingchen undoubtedly had no idea what feelings Chen Xiaoyan was experiencing. Rationally speaking, there was no reason for him to decline, and to top it off, it would certainly feel good to listen to the to the songs that he wrote live.

[It’s agreed then. Good night.] Chen Xiaoyan replied without holding Y back hoping he would continue to chat with her.

[Mm, good night.]

The next day.

Ye Lingchen woke up earlier than usual and ran towards the park with his two wolves.

He could not wait to practice the Eight Extremities Brute Training.

With that upgrade, some of the original moves of his Eight Extremities Fist had also changed. The physical requirements were rather high. Some movements were highly dependent on the body’s flexibility, as well as balance and strength. In addition to that, the cultivation method had also changed—the coherent movement was no longer needed, but rather, the focus was on posture. A single posture might have to be sustained for ten minutes for the muscles to be trained.

There seemed to be a big difference between martial arts techniques. It was not apparent at first sight but was more evident after the upgrade.

Breathing was a part of the Arhat Fist Force’s cultivation, as it eventually entailed cultivating the production of Qi or inner force from one’s fist. On the other hand, the Eight Extremities Brute Training revolved around movement and physique.

If one insisted on classifying them, the Arhat Fist Force was similar to the cultivation of Qi while the Eight Extremities Brute Training was pure external power.

After cultivating for a full hour, Ye Lingchen practiced each movement from the Eight Extremities Brute Training from the beginning till the end. Despite having to gasp for air due to his constitution, he could feel the muscles in his entire body swelling up.

Ye Lingchen felt happy rather than surprised. It was a sign that the Eight Extremities Brute Training had visible results.

He let a drawn-out sigh of relief and froze slightly. He then smiled and shook his head.

Little Gray and Little Green were beside just beside him and he saw them striking a pose. The wolves’ faces were simultaneously cute and serious.

Their posture resembled a movement in the Eight Extremities Brute Training. They must have been bored and decided to cultivate with Ye Lingchen.

“Huhuhu!”

Seeing Ye Lingchen looking at them, the two little wolves whimpered immediately with pitiful looks in their eyes.

“Dad, save us quick. We’re numb! We can’t move …”

What was going on, little guy?

“It’s numb already? Looks like you need more practice in the future!” Ye Lingchen smiled, hugged them in his arms, and gently massaged them, “You should be glad I can speak Dog Language, otherwise, you might have to stay here for the entire day! ”

“Huhuhu…”

The two little wolves narrowed their eyes in satisfaction and lay in Ye Lingchen’s arms, sobbing non-stop.

2When passing the familiar villa, the two wolves straightened themselves and their ears were upright. Their liveliness perked up and they wiggled in Ye Lingchen’s arms, calling out to him as if to bask in their achievements.

“Dad, those two women are fighting again, hurry up and look.”

Ye Lingchen forehead had black lines all over. ‘The two of you live up to the phrase ‘color wolf’!

‘Hehe, there’s nothing interesting to see. It’s not like I’m that kind of person.’

Ye Lingchen remained concentrated on the road ahead and slowly walked past the villa.

Before he even took two steps however, he immediately retreated backward. Going through the same familiar motions, he climbed up the window.

Li Muxue and Huang Xiaomeng went at it frequently, it seemed. Did they do each other whenever they had time to spare? Were their bodies even able to hold up?

‘I’m worried about their bodies, that’s all. My intentions are pure.’

In between moans of pleasure, Ye Lingchen peeked up slowly from the window. By then, something calamitous happened.

He saw a pair of lustful yet blurry eyes staring back at him. They were looking at each other!

‘F*ck, am I caught red-handed?’
