Ms.CEO Falls in Love with Aloof Professor-Chapter 153 - 146: Not Envious of the Prosperous Era’s Beauty, Only Envious of the Startling Banquet
Lu Jingyan relied on her memory and typed out the license plate number she saw earlier, then sent it all over.
After taking a bath, Lu Jingyan dried her hair and got into bed.
She picked up her phone and saw there was a new message reminder.
Song Qingnan, "Okay, I’ll contact you as soon as there’s any news tomorrow."
Lu Jingyan, "Thank you."
It was already late, and Lu Jingyan exchanged a couple of polite small talk with Song Qingnan before ending the conversation in a timely manner.
She exited the messaging app and opened WeChat, immediately noticing a message from Sheng Xian that came while she was taking a shower.
Sheng Xian, "Brother is home."
Sheng Xian, "Is Little Fish asleep?"
Sheng Xian, "Ignoring brother like that, must be asleep, so goodnight Little Fish."
Lu Jingyan, "..."
Just after sending the ellipsis, Lu Jingyan saw that Sheng Xian’s profile picture had changed again.
It was a small drawing, a Q-version picture, with a chubby girl wearing a pink hairband, clenching her plump cheeks with cute little hands.
Lu Jingyan, "Why did you change to such a cute avatar?"
Sheng Xian, "Hmm, just drew it."
Lu Jingyan opened the large image and found that the expression in the Q-picture had a bit of resemblance to her.
Did Professor Sheng draw it based on her looks?
A new message reminder came, bringing her back to the chat page.
Sheng Xian, "It’s you."
"..."
It really was her.
After Sheng Xian got home, it took him over an hour to send her a message—was this time spent drawing?
That little heart of hers, which had been taken aback by Sheng Xian’s no beauty filter selfie at the bar, suddenly began bubbling with pink.
She couldn’t help but click on Sheng Xian’s avatar again, holding her phone, admiring it while feeling so excited that she wanted to change clothes and run around the neighborhood twice in joy.
She hadn’t responded for a while, and Sheng Xian sent another message, "Ayan, are you satisfied?"
Lu Jingyan knew he was referring to the new avatar.
...Satisfied, very satisfied.
Thinking that, she typed a somewhat contradictory response, "It’s alright."
Sheng Xian seemed to be busy with something and didn’t reply immediately.
Lu Jingyan wasn’t in a hurry at all and saved Sheng Xian’s new avatar, then ran off happily to show off to Song Xian.
After the showoff session, Lu Jingyan was still a bit uncontrollably excited, so she decided to shorten the time it would take for Sheng Xian to catch up to her by twelve hours again.
Lu Jingyan suddenly understood why people like to show affection in their Moments when they’re in a relationship; she hasn’t even started dating officially and was already eager to post it in her Moments showing everyone that her boyfriend drew this of her.
Thinking about Moments, Lu Jingyan casually clicked in.
It was the prime time for posting in Moments, and Lu Jingyan scrolled through it randomly, noticing Sheng Xian’s latest post.
Post: Zhuang Chen sent me this weird message in the middle of the night, what’s this about?
The picture was a WeChat message from Zhuang Chen: I think you’re way more handsome than that Mu Chuci guy.
There were a few replies below, as usual, all from Sheng Xian himself.
Sheng Xian: ?
Sheng Xian: Is he interested in me?
Sheng Xian: I’m straight.
Sheng Xian: Do you think so too?
Sheng Xian: Thanks for the compliment.
Sheng Xian: It’s not a lack of confidence, it’s just that I’m chasing a girl who really likes Professor Mu Chuci, so I’m not that confident.
Lu Jingyan, "..."
She lost count of how many times she saw him replying to his own Moments post like this.
Lu Jingyan clicked on Sheng Xian’s avatar, intending to tell him he can reply to individual messages, but accidentally clicked into his Profile page.
She discovered that Sheng Xian had also changed his cover photo to a similar style image, except in this one, the Q-version of her was holding a flipping fish in her chubby little hands.
The fish had a bubble coming out of its mouth, and it was heart-shaped.
Lu Jingyan stared at the picture for a while, then refreshed and saw that Sheng Xian had updated his Moments again.
This time it was very succinct, with no text at all, just two images—one of his avatar, the other of his Moments cover photo.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Jingyan saw a reply added below.
Sheng Xian, One desires neither fame nor wealth, only this beautiful encounter.
Lu Jingyan stared at those ten words for a while and suddenly realized that both their names were cleverly embedded in there. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
She had to admit, Professor Sheng was really good at this.
Even his sweet nothings were so high quality.
Slightly embarrassed by this sweet indirect message, Lu Jingyan quietly gave Sheng Xian a like, and sneakily set his catch-up time twelve hours sooner again.
She didn’t care, she wanted to officially solidify their relationship first thing in the morning.
After all, she wasn’t that impatient, she waited a full night before agreeing—way more reserved compared to couples who get together instantly and spend the night together immediately!
Entering Sheng Xian’s chat window, a new message popped up.
Sheng Xian, "It’s already twelve thirty, still not asleep?"
Lu Jingyan thought for a moment but couldn’t resist gently reminding Sheng Xian, "In the future when you post in Moments, you can reply to individual messages directly."
Uncertain if Sheng Xian would understand her, given that he wasn’t very familiar with playing on Moments, Lu Jingyan decided to show him a screen recording as a demonstration and sent it to him, "Now do you understand everything?"
The moment she sent the message, Lu Jingyan noticed several red notification numbers popping up in her Moments.
Curiously clicking in, she discovered quite a few work partners had liked or commented on Sheng Xian’s Moments post.
Randomly picking a person, she saw a long row of likes and comments on those two images Sheng Xian recently posted.
Chen Kai: Bro, how come this picture looks so much like Xiaoyan?
Chen Kai: Sorry, bro, my mouth slipped—how come this picture of sister-in-law looks so much like her?
Zhang Rui (Vice President of XR): Amazing that Sheng Lu can draw too? Truly a jack-of-all-trades.
Li Xi (Founder of SIN magazine): Distinguished lawyer’s literary talent is impressive.
"..."
Lu Jingyan blinked again and again, finding herself surrounded by mutual friends out of nowhere, her brain unable to process it all.
After half a minute, she suddenly thought of something and poked Chen Kai’s avatar, entering his chat window, "Chen Kai, go to your brother’s Moments page and send me a screenshot."
Chen Kai instantly sent her a screenshot.
In Chen Kai’s view, Sheng Xian’s Moments were squeaky clean.
Aside from the two newly posted images, there was nothing else.
In her view, however, Sheng Xian’s Moments looked completely different.
Staring at Sheng Xian’s long text post and his replies, Lu Jingyan suddenly felt incredibly foolish for having just shown him how to reply to people properly.
Turns out he knew exactly how to handle Moments.
He knew how to play with Moments perfectly fine.
Her phone kept vibrating.
Expressionless, Lu Jingyan returned to the WeChat home page, glanced at Sheng Xian’s messages telling her to sleep early, stay warm, good night, and rolled her eyes as she entered his recent Moments post and gave it a like, then sent Sheng Xian a bunch of death smiles emojis, and recorded a voice message with a saccharine sweet voice, "Brother, we sure have a lot of mutual friends."
PS: Sheng Xian, a man whose progress in chasing his wife fluctuated like stocks.
