Chapter 42: The One in Jing Circle's Master Lu's Arms Has Made a Fumble (Part 15)

Song Chuyi’s pupils constricted slightly.

This nickname...

His heart tightened, and he instinctively closed his mouth.

The small canine grazed the hard knuckle, causing a slight pain.

Pained by the bite, Song Chuyi, in reflex, pressed his tongue against Lu Wuqing’s fingertip, trying to push the hard finger away.

But the soft resistance was nothing more than playfulness against the hard knuckle.

Lu Wuqing’s eyes turned subtly red, and even his breathing grew heavier.

"Stop it."

His voice was hoarse, almost losing its tone.

Song Chuyi glared at him and released his finger.

He wiped his mouth and said with a hint of reproach, "Why did you suddenly call me A’Chu?"

It distracted him.

"Can’t I?" Lu Wuqing countered, "Is this nickname special to you?"

"Not... not really," Song Chuyi whispered, "I just find it a bit unfamiliar when you use it suddenly."

"Is that so?" Lu Wuqing lowered his gaze indifferently, "From today on, this nickname belongs to me."

He wouldn’t investigate who had called him A’Chu before, which caused such a strong reaction upon hearing it.

But now, this nickname belonged to him.

So his reaction could only be because of himself.

Dominant and self-assured, it was his inherent stubbornness.

Song Chuyi’s lips moved, mumbling something indistinctly.

Finally, he spoke louder, "Alright, alright, this nickname belongs to you."

He let out a light hum, "Then I want to change my way of addressing you too."

His eyes flickered, and he grinned, "From now on, I’ll call you Brother Qing~ This nickname also belongs to me, okay?"

Hands on his hips, he was domineering but not overpowering.

"Deal."

Lu Wuqing responded, but Song Chuyi didn’t really listen anymore.

After all, he had already opened his mouth, and Lu Wuqing had agreed to take him to the Surprise Night; he just needed to wait until Saturday.

Before then, he needed to optimize his mini-game.

The downloads for "Jump Jump" had surpassed twenty thousand thanks to his active promotion. After paying the handling and maintenance fees, he could withdraw over ten thousand.

With this money, he optimized the game and added some hidden Easter eggs.

He removed the repetitive levels and added many different sizes of squares and jumping distances.

Song Chuyi was working diligently and naturally paid no attention to Lu Wuqing beside him.

On Saturday, Lu Wuqing’s wounds were mostly healed.

Despite the severity of his injuries, his recovery was incredibly fast. What would normally take ten days or half a month for an ordinary person to heal took him only three days.

When Song Chuyi saw the new pink skin while changing his bandages, he was shocked.

No wonder he was the villain who developed the zombie virus; his recovery ability was truly remarkable.

So he looked at him a few more times, and Lu Wuqing caught him doing so.

Lu Wuqing didn’t say anything, but he seemed rather pleased.

In a good mood, he led Song Chuyi into the venue of the Surprise Night.

Outside, a red carpet was laid, though not for them but for the celebrities.

The enthusiastic voice of the host echoed outside, but inside, Song Chuyi leaned close to Lu Wuqing’s ear and whispered, "Brother Qing, I need to go out for a bit."

After saying this, he turned to leave but was grabbed by the wrist by Lu Wuqing.

"Where are you going?"

Song Chuyi glanced around, seeing familiar celebrities entering and taking their seats, feeling anxious.

This was the perfect time for everyone to mingle and chat, making it an excellent opportunity to promote his mini-game!

"I’m going to promote my mini-game." He quickened his speech, "Didn’t I tell you about it earlier?"

Lu Wuqing frowned, seemingly remembering the matter.

"I’ll go with you."

He stood up, exuding a commanding presence.

Song Chuyi: ...

Are you sure this won't make others think we're here to start a fight?

"You..." Song Chuyi choked, "then don't speak, and tone down your aura. We're not here to fight!"

Lu Wuqing reined in his aura, lowering his eyelashes. "Mm."

People started coming in one after another, and time was limited. Song Chuyi couldn't afford to waste any more time, so he pulled Lu Wuqing along to start "pitching" their idea.

He first targeted the two-time Golden Shadow Award winner because that table had the most people.

By pitching to one person, he could effectively pitch to a group!

Song Chuyi walked over, greeting everyone with a smile, and finally focused on Zhao Ying.

"Mr. Zhao, I've seen your 'Bright Colors,' and your performance was truly outstanding!"

Zhao Ying looked somewhat bewildered, not at the young man who seemed to be a fan, but at the familiar-looking man standing behind him.

If he wasn't mistaken, this man should be the CEO of Tianhu Security Group?

As a highly popular actor, Zhao Ying had many fans, including some obsessive ones. For this reason, he had hired bodyguards from Tianhu Security Group at great expense to protect himself.

Having hired bodyguards from this group for years, he knew well about their capabilities and influence.

He had even heard of the CEO and once met him by chance.

The man behind the young man looked exactly like him.

So... what was the identity of this young man? To have the CEO of the security group personally protecting him?

Thinking this, Zhao Ying suddenly stood up, slightly bowing towards Song Chuyi with a smile. "Hello, hello."

Song Chuyi quickly engaged Zhao Ying in conversation and smoothly introduced the "Jump Jump" mini-game.

Although Zhao Ying felt a bit puzzled, seeing the man behind Song Chuyi made that doubt disappear instantly.

He actually took out his phone and spent one yuan to buy the game, playing it according to the instructions given by the young man.

Surprisingly, it was quite fun.

The others at the roundtable didn't hold the same status as Zhao Ying. Seeing him chatting enthusiastically with the young man, they couldn't help but ask curiously.

This question hit right where Song Chuyi wanted it, and he quickly recommended "Jump Jump" to the others.

Seeing everyone playing, Song Chuyi then pulled Lu Wuqing to other tables to continue pitching.

As more people entered, more heads were buried in their phones.

This was quite unusual at such an event.

Typically, people rarely used their phones at these events, as they were usually live-streamed, and there were awards to be presented and received, as well as opportunities to chat with friends and business partners they rarely saw. So, people generally didn't touch their phones.

But today, when the live stream camera panned across the room, sixty percent of the attendees were looking down at their phones.

This piqued the curiosity of the viewers watching the live stream.
