"Senior, when you post this video, why don’t we do a joint post with my account?"

"Of course."

Jiang Wan’s eyes, as she looked at Lin Shen, were filled with endless tenderness.

"After all, this is the fruit of all your hard work shooting and editing. I definitely have to post it with you."

"So, about that ’reward’ you mentioned earlier..."

Seeing the look of anticipation on Lin Shen’s face, Jiang Wan couldn’t help but let the corners of her lips curl up. She feigned reluctance and let out a soft sigh. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"Alright, alright. I’ll agree to it."

"Can I ask for a different kind, then?"

Lin Shen whispered something in Jiang Wan’s ear, making her face turn bright red. Her shy expression was one of disbelief.

"Junior, where did you learn this stuff? Are you always this perverted?"

"Ahem!"

Accused, Lin Shen could only cover his embarrassment with a light cough.

"I thought you’d be willing, Senior."

"I’m willing, but I’ve never done it before."

Jiang Wan thought for a moment, then leaned down and whispered softly in Lin Shen’s ear.

"How about I ’study up’ on it, and then reward you next time? Okay?"

"Of course, no problem."

Lin Shen lay in Jiang Wan’s arms with a blissful expression, feeling exceptionally warm and cozy.

They say online that this is a guy’s favorite sleeping position.

After experiencing it for himself, Lin Shen felt there was definitely some truth to that statement!

Especially with a treasure of a girl like Jiang Wan. The pillow for his head was particularly comfortable and soft, and sleepiness quickly washed over him.

HUUUU...

Hearing Lin Shen’s gentle breathing, Jiang Wan held his head in her arms, a faint, happy smile on her lips.

’Being in love feels amazing!’

「August 30, 2025. Sunday.」

22°C to 30°C. Sunny, turning cloudy. Light southeasterly breeze. Humidity 38%.

「5:00 AM.」

Because they’d had plenty of time to catch up on sleep on the high-speed train, Lin Shen and Jiang Wan only slept for four hours before getting up early to watch the sunrise by the sea.

It wasn’t fully light when they arrived. The sea breeze still carried a trace of the night’s chill, wafting over them with damp, salty mist.

After sitting on the beach and waiting for about fifteen minutes, a faint, pearly white light began to rise from the eastern horizon, spreading like a drop of ink bleeding across rice paper.

It went from white to a pale orange, then to a golden red, growing brighter and brighter.

Suddenly, a blinding ray of light shot out from a gap in the clouds.

After the nascent sun’s silhouette broke through the clouds, its edges were still tinged with wisps of lingering cloud, and the horizon burned a translucent color.

Once it had almost completely leaped free from the line where the sky met the water, a brilliant dawn glow filled the entire sky.

Many of the tourists waiting for the sunrise took out their phones to record videos and take pictures, and Jiang Wan was no exception.

"It’s so beautiful!"

Jiang Wan couldn’t help but exclaim in awe. Lin Shen pulled her into his arms, leaned down, and kissed her parted, soft lips.

Amidst such a romantic seaside sunrise, a kiss between lovers felt like a sacred vow, marking their love for a lifetime.

And so, Jiang Wan wrapped her arms around Lin Shen’s neck and passionately returned his kiss.

They remained that way until the sky was completely bright. After being lovey-dovey on the beach for a while longer, they took a taxi to the high-speed train station.

They were in business class again, but the car on the way back to Modu was much more crowded than it had been on the trip there.

Most were elite-looking professionals dressed in suits, either working on their laptops or quietly reading philosophical books.

It made Lin Shen feel a bit out of place.

So, he started to work too.

First, he used the official ’Shennan Pet Society’ account to post a video jointly with Jiang Wan on Douyin.

One was the star, the other the editor.

In fact, last night’s short clip was already a finished product. It just needed the Super Retouching AI to optimize a few aspects.

This forced Lin Shen to re-evaluate this little feature in the Camera and Album app.

’It’s like having a tireless graphic artist!’

Lin Shen was growing more and more fond of the little features in these cracked apps.

The Goddess Guide in Shuaiyang, the Super Retouching AI in Camera and Album, the Industry Analysis in GoGo Maps...

Every single one was exceptionally useful!

"Okay, I’m posting it."

After embedding some trending keywords, Jiang Wan was still a little nervous as she hit "post." After all, this was her first time trying to film this kind of scripted skit.

Lin Shen, however, chuckled confidently.

"Go ahead and post it. I’m sure a lot of people will like it."

"I hope so."

Jiang Wan made up her mind and hit "send."

[Our encounter was like a great fire sweeping through a wheat field, the entire harvest surrendered to a beautiful illusion #ShuiYanwei #youth]

"Let’s see how many likes it has in an hour."

After sharing the new video in her one and only fan group, Jiang Wan hugged her phone to her chest in anticipation.

"Usually, my videos get around ten thousand likes within the first hour. I hope this one can match that."

"It’ll be fine."

Lin Shen took the initiative to hold Jiang Wan’s hand, and his gentle reassurance warmed her heart.

"By the way, my two friends are getting ready to shoot at your Cat Cafe. Are you free anytime soon?"

"I’m free, but the place next door is still under renovation. Will that disturb them?"

"That shouldn’t be a problem."

Jiang Wan explained.

"Background noise can be removed in post-production. If it’s really bad, we can just mute the whole thing and dub the audio later."

"Alright then. Tell them to go today. Lin Ping is watching the shop over there. I’ll explain the situation to her and ask her to cooperate."

"The divorced lady?"

Jiang Wan raised an eyebrow, the corner of her mouth curling into a smirk.

"I get the feeling there’s something going on between you and her."

"What kind of relationship could there be?"

Lin Shen looked directly into Jiang Wan’s eyes, feeling a bit guilty. He couldn’t help but grumble to himself.

’Seriously!’

’Is a woman’s sixth sense really this terrifying?’

’I haven’t acted overly familiar with Lin Ping in front of Jiang Wan, have I?’

"Actually, it wouldn’t matter if there was."

Jiang Wan said suddenly, her tone sympathetic.

"I remember she has a daughter in kindergarten, right? It would be good if you could look out for her."

"Yeah."

Jiang Wan’s kindness touched Lin Shen.

They say when you’re in a relationship, you should find someone who is a good person in general, not just someone who is only good to you.

There’s a fundamental difference between the two.

Jiang Wan took out her phone to message her friends, while Lin Shen notified Lin Ping.

[Lin Shen: Two teams will be coming to the Cat Cafe to film today. Please cooperate with them.]

[Lin Ping: Understood, President Lin.]

[Lin Ping: By the way, this is a qipao I just bought. What do you think?]

[Lin Ping: [Photo]]

In the photo Lin Ping sent, she was wearing a modernized, bright red, patterned Chinese qipao. The halter-neck collar was paired with a cutout on the chest, revealing a tantalizing glimpse of her deep, fair cleavage.

It was sexy without losing its mature charm, and it perfectly suited her personal style.

Lin Shen would give it a solid 80 out of 100.

[Lin Shen: It’s very nice. Wear it the next time we meet.]

[Lin Ping: Understood, President Lin.]

Lin Shen put down his phone. His gaze fell upon Jiang Wan, who had tilted her head and curled up in the soft seat, fast asleep. He couldn’t help but smile.

He also crossed his arms, closed his eyes to rest, and lost track of time until he was awakened by a suppressed gasp.

"Whoa!"

’Huh?’

Lin Shen opened his eyes and saw that Jiang Wan was awake, her hand covering her mouth as she stared at her phone screen in astonishment.

"The number of likes actually broke a hundred thousand!"

’What!?’

Lin Shen was instantly wide awake. He glanced at the time; there was still an hour until they arrived.

’In other words, it’s been less than four hours since it was posted, right?’

Lin Shen moved his face closer to Jiang Wan’s. Seeing that the video’s likes had already surpassed 120,000, he asked curiously.

"Is that a good result or a bad one?"

"Of course it’s good! It’s amazing!"

Jiang Wan excitedly grabbed Lin Shen’s arm, her expression ecstatic.

"My viral video with over a million likes only had around eighty or ninety thousand likes after four hours!"

"This video is definitely going to get over a million likes, maybe even more!"
