Chapter 25: The Insomniac CEO's Canary Has Gone Wild (Part 2)

Monday, Gu Bing switched into work mode.

Having not handled company affairs for a week, he was genuinely swamped during working hours. Despite this, he still made time to have lunch with Song Chuyi and even took a nap with him afterward.

After the nap, he went back to work.

Seeing that Gu Bing was very busy, Song Chuyi started tinkering with artificial intelligence on his computer.

He didn't work as hard as Gu Bing did and would often pause to chat with Xiaotong.

Xiaotong had been extremely excited these past two days, constantly talking about reaching the pinnacle of system life in his head.

After hearing this too many times, Song Chuyi quietly said, "This world is just one small world. How many more small worlds do you need to reach the pinnacle?"

Xiaotong: "!!!"

It suddenly lost its excitement and silently went to calculate how many more small worlds it needed to reach the pinnacle.

The human and the system continued to pass the time like this until Song Chuyi noticed that Gu Bing's schedule had become completely regular.

Nine-to-five, five days a week, no extra hours at the office.

Even when there were emergencies, if they occurred during Gu Bing's off-hours, he wouldn't look at them.

He would only address them during working hours.

Not only did this not affect the company, but it also improved the efficiency of his employees, leading to a steady rise in business.

Even the old shareholders reined themselves in due to Gu Bing's sudden change, not daring to say anything out of line anymore.

If Gu Bing really quit, they wouldn't be able to enjoy their current comfortable lives.

Everyone was getting better, except for Song Chuyi's old back, which seemed to be getting worse every day.

For the sake of his back, Song Chuyi sneaked out during Gu Bing's working hours.

He planned to rest outside for a couple of days before returning!

He booked a hotel room, coincidentally the same one Lin Xin had reserved.

When Lin Xin saw him, she was somewhat surprised. She was accompanied by a few people, her bandmates from their debut.

After chatting briefly with her teammates, Lin Xin walked up to Song Chuyi.

"I heard you're together with Brother Gu now?"

Without waiting for Song Chuyi to answer, she huffed, "Congratulations."

"I don't care about Gu Bing anymore. See those fans outside? They're all my fans, hmph."

"I have so much love now."

Song Chuyi wasn't surprised by this reaction, "Congratulations. It's great that so many people like you; you must be very happy!"

"Of course!" Lin Xin huffed again, then whispered, "Song Chuyi, thank you."

She quickly turned and left, not giving Song Chuyi a chance to respond.

Song Chuyi scratched his head and returned to his room.

After staying in the hotel for a short while, he remembered the original body's parents. Since he had nothing else to do, he decided to visit them.

Previously, he had asked Xiaotong where the original body had gone.

Xiaotong only said that the original body had made a deal with the main system, but it didn't know the details. By the time he arrived in this body, the original body had already left.

Song Chuyi returned to the original body's home. The parents were very ordinary and kind, doting on their only son.

He felt a rare sense of warmth from a human family in this house.

He stayed at home for a day, feeling like he had forgotten something but couldn't quite remember what.

It wasn't until he went out to buy a cola and saw Gu Bing standing in front of him that he realized what it was.

He had forgotten to tell Gu Bing!

Feeling a bit guilty, Song Chuyi touched his nose and whispered, "Why are you here?"

Gu Bing anxiously and tenderly took his hand, "Are you angry because I didn't buy you milk tea?"

"Huh?" Song Chuyi looked up, vaguely remembering such an incident.

But he had only asked casually and wasn't actually angry. He hadn't expected Gu Bing to take it to heart!

With this opportunity to smooth things over, Song Chuyi decided to go along with it.

"That's right!"

Gu Bing pulled him into a hug and apologized sincerely.

"Sorry, next time I'll definitely buy it."

"Please don't scare me like this, okay?"

Heaven knows how panicked he was when he didn't see Song Chuyi in the office.

At that moment, his mind was filled with only one thought: he didn't want any work or the company anymore.

He only wanted his A'Chu.

Gu Bing held him tightly in his arms, his large hands trembling.

"A'Chu, don't leave me."

His voice was shaking.

Song Chuyi hesitated for a moment and patted his back.

"I won't."

"I won't leave you."

After a pause, he tentatively asked, "Can you spare my old waist?"

Gu Bing immediately agreed.

Nothing was more important than him.

Song Chuyi let out a sigh of relief and flashed a brilliant smile.

"Relax, I won't leave you!"

He took the initiative to hold his hand. "Come on, let's go home and see Mom and Dad!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Bing stiffened up.

He bought a lot of things with Song Chuyi before following him back home.

Song Mu and Song's father warmly received Gu Bing. They were taken aback when they learned that Gu Bing was their son's boyfriend.

But seeing their son's happy face, they agreed.

The two stayed at home for a day before returning to Jing City. However, the moment they got back, Song Chuyi was trending on the hot search list.

It all started because someone had taken a photo of him chatting with Lin Xin in a hotel.

The angle of the photo was perfect, making it look as though Lin Xin was about to lean on his shoulder, even though they were standing face-to-face.

As a rising star, Lin Xin had many fans watching her every move.

Once the topic trended, many of Lin Xin's rivals' fans quickly jumped into action.

The hashtag #LinXinMeetingStranger quickly climbed to the top of the hot search list.

For someone like Lin Xin, who rose to fame through a national talent show, dating was strictly taboo, and the headline was too suggestive not to spark rumors.

Upon seeing the trending topic, Lin Xin immediately contacted Song Chuyi.

He could respond anytime, but he needed to consult the other party involved.

Song Chuyi was still browsing the comments under the trending topic, but Gu Bing couldn't sit still anymore.

How could his A'Chu be dating someone else?

A'Chu belonged to him and him alone.

Gu Bing's eyes narrowed slightly. He logged into his main account, posted a tweet, and contacted the PR department to buy the top spot on the hot search list.

Thus, the CEO of Gu Group's blue-verified account appeared on the top of the trending topics with his first tweet.

The tweet included a photo.

The photo captured Song Chuyi's profile, with light falling on him, as if enveloping him in a halo of sanctity.

The photographer's love was almost palpable through the image.

Above the photo were two resolute and possessive words:

"Mine."
