Chapter 126: Chapter 83: Are You Still Looking at Feet Tomorrow?
"That’s perfect. We can go together."
"Okay."
The two of them returned to campus. Chen Yuan went to the print shop, and Song Jianye went to the mini-mart.
"Chen Yuan." Song Jianye called out to him.
"What’s up?"
"Is there anything you’re craving?"
"Just grab whatever."
"What about something to drink?"
Chen Yuan wanted to ask her to buy two cups of Mixue, but on second thought, he decided against it.
Besides, Uncle Zhang had told him that she should drink fewer cold things.
"Mineral water is fine."
"Huh? You don’t want some milk tea, or lemonade, or something like that?"
"Don’t try to set me up. You need to drink less of that stuff."
"Was it Uncle Zhang who told you?"
"It doesn’t matter who told me. Just drink less of it."
"Alright, fine. I’ll listen to you. I’ll just buy some snacks and mineral water."
"Mhm."
Chen Yuan went to print his things, and Song Jianye went to buy snacks.
After they were done, they went to the main academic building and found an empty classroom to memorize vocabulary.
Once she got in the zone, Song Jianye entered focus mode.
The pen in her hand moved quickly, her handwriting light and dancing—nothing like that nauseating, cutesy bubble-letter style.
’Now *this* is what a normal person’s handwriting should look like.’
Determined to earn the center spot at his own funeral, Chen Yuan also got serious, memorizing vocabulary while eating. Neither of them disturbed the other.
’Her legs are pretty long... and pale, too...’
’Dammit, brain, control your eyes! Focus on the vocabulary!’
BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ—
Chen Yuan’s phone vibrated. It was a message from Jiang Shuyi.
Jiang Shuyi: "Are you busy? Want to come over for a meeting?"
Chen Yuan: "What’s it about?"
Jiang Shuyi: "We’ve broken ten thousand followers. We need to discuss monetization."
Chen Yuan: "Where are you guys?"
Jiang Shuyi: "Main Academic Building, Room 307."
Chen Yuan didn’t reply. He looked at Song Jianye, who was diligently memorizing her vocabulary, and said:
"I have to step out for a bit. Wait here for me, I’ll come back for you later."
"Mhm, okay."
"Also, for the Public Relations Department’s account, don’t buy any more paid promotions. It’s a waste of money."
"I only promoted your videos, not anyone else’s."
"That’s still a waste of money."
"How about I just give you the money directly? It wouldn’t be a waste if you spent it."
"Transfer me 50, then. Let’s see if you’re serious."
"Okay."
"No, no, no, I was just kidding."
"If I don’t help you with paid promotions, what else can I do for you?"
Song Jianye propped her chin on one hand, a pen clutched in the other. "I don’t think I know how to do anything else. I can’t help you at all."
"You can provide emotional support."
"I get it!"
"Get what?"
"You can look at my legs!"
Song Jianye stretched her legs out. "We’re good friends, after all. You can look openly. You don’t have to sneak glances."
"Hey, hey, hey, are you trying to ruin my reputation?"
"But you were just sneaking a peek."
"I was contemplating a faster way to memorize vocabulary."
"Look all you want. It’s a limited-time offer."
"Why do you say that?"
"It’s getting cold. Soon I’ll have to wear pants, and then you won’t be able to see anything."
"Wow, thanks so much. How considerate of you."
"But..."
"But what?"
"If you want to see my feet, I can take off my shoes for you."
’Who let her out of the psych ward!’
[Your baby is now four years old and has learned to speak without a filter. You must learn to accept this behavior and remain calm.]
"Song Jianye, you’re becoming a real pervert now."
"A psycho is a psycho, and a pervert is a pervert. Don’t lump us together."
Song Jianye looked at Chen Yuan gleefully, her gaze clear and innocent.
Their eyes met, and the atmosphere seemed to turn ambiguous.
"I painted my toenails a new color. Want to see?"
"You really think I’m a pervert, don’t you?"
"Come on, take a look. I really like how they turned out."
"You think I don’t dare to? Fine! I’ll look!"
"Hehe."
Song Jianye took off her shoes, then her over-the-knee socks.
He had seen her feet before when she wore slippers in warmer weather.
But it wasn’t something you could get tired of looking at.
The real highlight, however, was her toenails.
They had been painted with eyes and mouths, turning each one into a cute little animal.
"They’re pretty cute, right?"
"The little animals are cute."
"What about my feet?"
"I’m not a pervert with a foot fetish, so I can’t really comment."
"Heh..."
’This exasperating girl... I really want to give her a good smack.’
"Hurry up and put your socks on. I’m leaving."
"Mhm, I’ll wait here for you to come back. Don’t forget to come find me when you’re done."
"Don’t worry."
Chen Yuan left and went to Room 307. Everyone from the Public Relations Department was already there.
"A round of applause, everyone! Our hero has arrived."
Jiang Shuyi started it, and everyone began to clap.
"Just the basics, just the basics. I admit, getting the account past ten thousand followers was all my doing and had nothing to do with any of you, but we should still be humble. We can’t get arrogant."
"Take it down a notch, Brother Yuan. Now’s not the time to show off. We’re facing a new problem," Huang Shengyuan said.
"The account has ten thousand followers, so we can start thinking about monetization."
"We can go talk to local businesses. Whichever one is interested, we’ll film a video for them."
"That’s what we were thinking, too. But if we shoot videos like that, it’ll just become pure shop-vlogging. The account’s focus would change, which is a problem."
Chen Yuan thought for a moment. ’That does seem to be a problem.’
"What if we change the filming format?"
"Filming format?"
The others all looked at Chen Yuan, waiting for him to continue.
"We could have Xiaoxi or one of the upperclassman girls act as the host. The opening line could be, ’Join your favorite senior as she takes you to...’ or ’Your favorite junior is here to show you...’ We can do it interview-style and talk to the shop owner. That format should be a bit better, right?"
"You know, you’ve got a point!"
Li Yong’an slammed his hand on the table. "If Xiaoxi is on camera, she can wear a JK uniform. If it’s one of the senior girls, she can dress a bit sexier. Two different styles—that’ll definitely get views."
