Chapter 11: Are You Crazy? I've Already Taken It Off

[Received anger points from Zhou Yujie, +666]

After Su Chen finished singing his song, the silence from Zhou Yujie was deafening—truly a misery beyond words.

“Hehe, Yujie, how is it? Do you like it? Not bad, right? Aren’t you just totally in awe of me?” Su Chen leaned in slightly, grinning mischievously.

Well, since I came out tonight, I might as well make the most of it. I have to milk whatever I can!

Oh no, sorry Yujie, I really just want to improve!

Zhou Yujie glanced at Su Chen with a complex expression, falling silent for a long moment before finally speaking: “Your singing… it’s just… it’s really hard to judge…”

Before he started singing, she thought no matter how absurd Su Chen’s original work was, she would offer some encouragement and support.

But the moment Su Chen started singing, she realized that this bastard probably didn’t need encouragement or support…

She simply couldn’t accept how such ridiculous lines could have sprung from Su Chen’s mind, let alone be crafted into lyrics!

But it wasn’t entirely trash either; from beginning to end, the melody was quite good, even addictive after repeated listening.

“Hey, hey, that’s where you’re wrong! How can it be hard to judge?” Su Chen laughed. “Good is good, bad is bad. Don’t worry about embarrassing me or making me uncomfortable—just say it straight!”

After Su Chen’s persistent probing, Zhou Yujie wrestled with her thoughts for a long time before giving her verdict.

“Well, Su Chen… personally, I think the song is pretty good, but if only the lyrics were… a bit more normal, it would be even better!”

Su Chen shook his head, laughing heartily: “Yujie, haven’t you noticed how perfectly the words and melody flow together? If the lyrics were different, it wouldn’t have this kind of mood!”

Zhou Yujie: “…”

What mood? I’d rather kill you than that mood!

Speechless for a long moment, Zhou Yujie finally gave up: “If you think it’s good, then fine…”

…

Su Chen was overjoyed. Just going out for dinner casually earned him over a thousand anger points—these would be the fuel for his skyrocketing future!

Back at the Wangfu apartment, Zhou Yujie turned to Su Chen, a little embarrassed: “Um… Achen, thank you so much for today!”

Su Chen chuckled lightly: “Don’t be like that, Yujie. I should be the one thanking you—you treated me to a midnight snack.”

“It’s really not about who paid. I’m grateful for the way you helped me sort things out!”

Su Chen waved it off with a laugh: “It was nothing, just some toxic advice I happened to see.”

“Even if it’s toxic advice, it gave me a lot of strength,” Zhou Yujie said firmly.

“Well, Yujie, if those words helped you, then that’s great!” Su Chen smiled.

A faint smile played on Zhou Yujie’s delicate face as she hummed softly: “Hey, what’s with you suddenly acting so formal? Why didn’t you say, ‘No thanks needed, just let me take advantage of you a bit’ this time?”

“Hey, pretty girl, is that really okay?” Su Chen looked at Zhou Yujie’s glossy lips and couldn’t help swallowing, his eyes shining.

“Bah, you big bad guy! Of course… I was just kidding!” Zhou Yujie stuck out her tongue at Su Chen, then dashed back to her room and closed the door.

Su Chen: “…”

Hey, hey, pretty girl, you can’t tease people like that!

Inside her room, Zhou Yujie leaned against the wall and took a deep breath, her moist eyes revealing a hint of shyness.

Actually, she hadn’t been lying. She really wanted to give Su Chen that bastard a hug just now—until he stared so intently at her lips.

As a girl who guarded herself carefully, it was normal for her to be startled by Su Chen’s expression.

The main thing was Su Chen was too greedy—emotional tension between a man and woman has to progress step by step.

…

Seeing Zhou Yujie had no intention of opening the door, Su Chen shook his head helplessly and returned to his own room.

Just after washing up and about to lie down, his phone chimed!

He picked it up to see a friend request on WeChat.

Who the heck would add me so late at night?

Bored, Su Chen clicked the profile—it was a delicately pretty girl. Well, that’s fine then!

Calmly accepting the request, he immediately got a message.

“Hello, handsome, good evening! Nice to meet you.”

Su Chen replied: “Evening? It’s midnight. How happy are you to meet me, exactly?”

“…”

[Congratulations, received anger points from Su Chengyue, +66]

So her name was Su Chengyue. He didn’t know her at all. Was this some TV drama cliché? A tea seller or something?

Speechless for a moment, Su Chengyue sent another message.

“Handsome, you almost killed the conversation. I’m very happy, okay…”

Su Chen chuckled: “Hey girl, you’re getting excited too soon! I don’t drink tea or buy tea leaves!”

“…”

Maybe worried Su Chen would block her, Su Chengyue reluctantly introduced herself.

“I’m Su Chengyue, a friend of Juzi’s. We bumped into each other downstairs this morning.”

So they were neighbors in the same building. That made sense.

“My bad, so you’re Juzi’s friend!” Su Chen said, a little confused. “But was Lemon with someone this morning?”

Su Chengyue: “…”

Are you blind? How could you not notice such a gorgeous woman? Seriously?

[Received anger points from Su Chengyue, +555]

Realizing her last comment might have been rude, Su Chen quickly backtracked.

“Sorry, I’m a bit face-blind…”

It wasn’t an excuse but a way to save face. Su Chengyue, sharp as she was, naturally played along.

“No worries, no worries. I wasn’t offended. This morning I was wearing a black silk mini skirt, walking with Juzi!”

“Oh, that 36F? So that was you!” Hearing her description, Su Chen suddenly recalled and felt a pleasant sense of familiarity.

Su Chengyue wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry, but at least they were chatting now, which was something.

After some back and forth, Su Chengyue felt the moment was right and got to the point.

“Achen, I want to know—are you good at math?”

“Of course! I’m amazing at advanced math!” Su Chen laughed. “Do you think I was joking with those self-created theorems and formulas?”

“Is that so?” Su Chengyue’s voice sounded sweet and slightly clingy.

“I’m good at mental math, but I’m weak with fill-in-the-blank questions. Could you teach me sometime?”

Su Chen instantly understood her hint and sighed at his own scholarly reputation.

To be honest, he’d encountered this before—some women were just that direct, but only if you were handsome enough to attract them.

Honestly, he usually refused such advances, but sometimes the body had other desires, making restraint difficult.

But who could blame him? If young people didn’t have some fire, what would they be?

“Though it’s a bit forward, could I be lucky enough to see a photo of you without makeup?”

Su Chen meant to deter her, but to his surprise, Su Chengyue actually sent a photo…

At first glance, Su Chengyue looked quite good without makeup compared to her usual heavy cosmetics. But on closer inspection, Su Chen noticed the trick!

There was no way those bedside table cups were 36F—they were more like a B cup!

That was infuriating—the fake was too blatant. Did she stuff two whole coconuts in there?

Su Chen: “Sorry, I prefer girls who look less pretty. You’re too beautiful—not my type!”

Su Chengyue: “???”

Are you sick? I just stripped down and you say that? What’s wrong with you?!
