Cheng Yu: "You..."
Me: "Me what? What just happened?"
Cheng Yu pondered for a moment. "Nothing. Nothing happened."
Then he received a video on his phone.
It was the surveillance footage sent by the TV station.
Cheng Yu clicked it open. I stole a glance and deliberately feigned amnesia. "Who's this guy? He doesn't watch where he's going! He even bumped into my boyfriend!"
Cheng Yu named a popular young actor.
Me: !!!
Cheng Yu: "What's wrong?"
Me: "N-nothing. Don't wash that shirt of yours. I quite like it. That foundation stain is like his autograph in person!"
Cheng Yu: "..."
-
We were chatting with Cheng Yu while having dinner.
Cheng Yu asked me, "Do you know what other girls would do when they find such evidence?"
I really hadn't investigated such things. "What would they do?"
Cheng Yu: "I've heard that some shrewd ones would secretly collect evidence to blackmail in the future, while the infatuated ones would act as if nothing had happened."
I slapped my thigh. "Oh, thanks to your reminder, I also think it was kind of stupid of me to confront you directly!"
"It's not stupid." Cheng Yu said somewhat disappointedly. "It shows that you're straightforward, and that you're not afraid of losing me at all."
I was puzzled. "What's there to be afraid of losing a cheating man?"
Cheng Yu: "You're right."
I emphasized one point. "No matter how nice you are to me or how perfect you are, if you dare to be unfaithful, I'll turn around and leave immediately without giving you any chance. It's not that I think I'm so capable or that you can't do without me. It's just that I think once love is tainted, my love for you must be nullified immediately. If I don't love you anymore, what's the point of talking about forgiveness and staying with you?"
Cheng Yu agreed. "On this point, our views are the same."
I patted my chest and promised. "Don't worry. A man as perfect as you is one - in - a - million. I wouldn't dare to mess around."
Cheng Yu: "You should also trust my character. If you dare to doubt me like this again, a simple sorry won't do."
He raised the milk tea in his hand and toasted me. "May true love never be let down."
I picked up my milk tea and clinked glasses with Cheng Yu. "May there be no scumbags in the world!"
-
Cheng Yu said, "We must be loyal in love, and have a sense of responsibility and self - control."
I nodded, indicating that I couldn't agree more. "Rather than forcing ourselves to believe the other person, we might as well use that energy to improve and enhance ourselves, making ourselves more charming, both economically and spiritually independent, so that we won't be unable to live without someone. Being confident and fearless in love will prevent us from being paranoid."
Bullshit.
I just thought it was so embarrassing that I, a tough girl, would cry because of the slightest sign of trouble.
Cheng Yu raised his eyebrows. "So is this the reason why you've always refused marriage?"
I was confused. "What?"
"You've always been like this, as if you're training yourself not to invest too much emotion." Cheng Yu's tone was faint with a hint of coldness. "Have you ever thought about breaking up with me one day?"
My secret was exposed.
I was speechless.
Cheng Yu: "I know you lack confidence and security. I won't blame you."
I wrung my fingers under the table.
Cheng Yu suddenly said, "How about you mark me?"
I looked up. "Huh?"
Cheng Yu: "Then I can tell others that I'm taken."
I forced a laugh. "You mean to go public like a celebrity? That's a bit of an overkill."
Cheng Yu: "Transfer all my property under your name?"
I held my forehead. "Stop kidding me."
Cheng Yu: "After we get married, you'll have to manage the money anyway."
I waved my hand. "Thanks, but I'm already so tired managing my own meager savings. You'd better manage your billions by yourself. Besides, controlling property is meaningless. Just because I control your money doesn't mean I can stop you from misbehaving. I choose marriage to find a person to spend my whole life with. If the person is gone, what's the use of money?"
Cheng Yu sighed repeatedly.

A few days later, I won two awards, "Most Popular Game Designer" and "Most Creative Game Script", in the biggest online game platform's selection.
When I went on stage to receive the awards, I saw a familiar face in the distance.
The host said, "Let's give a warm round of applause to welcome Mr. Cheng Zhenggang, the chairman of the Baou Group, the sponsor of this event!"
Me: !!!
Fortunately, I was wearing flat - soled shoes today.
I almost fell flat on my face on stage.
The kind - looking Chairman Cheng handed me the certificates and trophies. I bowed and took them with both hands. "Thank you, Uncle - Oh no, Chairman Cheng."
Then I stood beside Chairman Cheng, forced a smile in front of the camera, and took a photo.
Finally, the ceremony ended.
I was walking backstage with a bunch of stuff in my arms when I was called by Cheng Zhenggang. "Yin Yin."
I turned around but didn't dare to walk back to the stage. I just replied from afar. "What?"
As if afraid I couldn't hear him, Cheng Zhenggang raised his voice. "Cheng Yu asked you to go home for dinner tonight!"
He had a miniature earpiece clipped to his collar.
With such a loud shout.
The whole venue echoed with his words, "Cheng Yu asked you to go home for dinner tonight", "Cheng Yu asked you to go home for dinner tonight", "Cheng Yu asked you to go home for dinner tonight"...
The words rang out non - stop.
Everyone at the scene was silent for a second, and then immediately erupted into excited shouts of "Wow". Everyone at the award ceremony started to boo. The whole venue was filled with the shout, "Zhou Yinyin, Cheng Yu asked you to go home for dinner tonight"!
The roof of the venue was almost blown off.
-
Just like that.
My relationship with Cheng Yu was made public.
And I was forced under the pressure of public opinion.
I had to shoulder the responsibility of being "God Yu"'s girlfriend.
Since it was already known to the world.
I had to give Yu a proper status.
I couldn't let him be laughed at by the world!
-
The cause of this was the hot search topic "God Yu, without a proper status".
I don't know which jerk started this rumor.
It said that Cheng Yu had been pestering me and had been repeatedly rejected.
It even vividly described him as my "stalker".
It said that he used his parents to put pressure on me to force me to submit.
But I was unyielding and refused firmly.
So he deliberately arranged for Cheng Zhenggang to have an "unintentional slip - up" to force me into a corner.
Me: ...
Do these people not need to pay for spreading rumors?
They're so full of themselves!
-
On the weekend.
I invited Cheng Yu, Qi Jiayuan, Zhang Yuan and the others to play escape room in the suburbs.
It also happened to be a good opportunity to promote the new game, so we started a live broadcast throughout the process.
We slid down one by one through the tunnel in the cave with tools. Cheng Yu was always in front of me, afraid that I would fall.
After we entered a tomb, Qi Jiayuan turned on his flashlight.
There were coffins all over the room, and a row of white - dressed female ghosts were hanging on the wall. I didn't know if they were real people or puppets.
I hugged Cheng Yu's arm. "If a female ghost comes later, you help me fight her."
Cheng Yu: "You're hugging so tightly. I might hit you by accident later."
I loosened my grip a bit but still followed Cheng Yu. "Okay."
Qi Jiayuan said, "You guys, check this coffin to see if there are any clues."
Then he told me and Cheng Yu, "You two, dig out the zombie's brain."
I protested. "You single dog, are you discriminating against couples?"
Zhang Yuan laughed on the side. "The comments are all about enjoying your couple's sweetness. Let me focus the camera on you two."
I nodded. "Come on, camera here. I'll show you guys a live brain - digging!"
Just as I was about to roll up my sleeves, Cheng Yu pushed me away. "You're timid. I'll do it."
I made a V - sign to the camera. "Guys, give God Yu a like!"
Zhang Yuan: "Get out of the way!"
Me: "Okay."
Then I handed the live - broadcast to Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu inserted his fair and slender fingers into the zombie's brain. In the silent room, the sound of him digging the brain pulp filled the air.
Zhang Yuan laughed. "The live - broadcast comments are going crazy. They're praising God Yu for being awesome!"
Finally, Cheng Yu seemed to touch something. He withdrew his fingers from the zombie's brain, and Zhang Yuan gave him a close - up.
Cheng Yu's hands were full of green brain pulp, but there was a shiny thing pinched between his fingertips.
He looked at it suspiciously under the high - beam flashlight that Qi Jiayuan shone on it. Finally, he saw clearly that it was a ring!
Then everyone in the room started to cheer. The lights came on all at once, as bright as day. I jumped to his side, knelt down on one knee. "Cheng Yu, let's get engaged!"
