My Virtual Girlfriend-Chapter 385: Chen Yan, You’re Really Taking Long Tonight

Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Chen Yan, You’re Really Taking Long Tonight

Feeling that he had figured everything out, Chen Yan began chatting with the young author "Yang Rou".

Chen Yan had to admit, people really do have two faces.

One face is for familiar people, and another is for strangers.

One is for the real world, and another is for the online world.

Anyway, after interacting with her, Chen Yan felt that the online, stranger-facing "Yang Rou" was much more friendly. Her words were also much pleasanter.

She was not at all like the cold person she seemed to be in reality.

He couldn’t help but ponder: Could it be that in real life she needed to maintain her dignity, so Yang Rou was so cold?

Then, as a leader, should he offer her more care and support?

Thus, the three of them chatted all the way.

Upon arriving at Eastern Film City, after getting out of the car, Chen Yan patted Yang Rou’s shoulder and said, "Sister Rou, you seem a bit tired recently. If you’re not feeling well, you could take a day or two off."

"If there’s anything, you can discuss it with me first or postpone it a couple of days."

"Don’t exhaust yourself."

Yang Rou glanced at Chen Yan, her look somewhat softened.

These past few days, because of Yang Nuannuan and the Sunrise Project, she really had been very busy.

Normally, she was used to handling everything herself.

But to her surprise, Chen Yan noticed and even proactively suggested she rest.

Maybe it was because of her icy exterior, which had kept people at a distance since her graduation, no one had cared about her.

Once she earned a certain reputation and status in the industry, even fewer people dared to show concern.

So, over the years, she had never enjoyed the care from others.

But today, she received it...

With thoughts weighing on her, Yang Rou and Chen Yan went to the conference room together.

This meeting was mainly about the plan release for this month. Various partners and the officials from Qin Island’s government all came together to discuss the processes.

Indeed, as Yang Rou said, Chen Yan was merely a stabilizing presence in this meeting and wasn’t actually needed.

Aside from initially meeting some executives and officials, Chen Yan just sat at the head of the table, indifferently listening to Yang Rou and others’ discussions.

Since the plans had progressed smoothly before, the meeting finished smoothly as well.

Initially, Chen Yan listened intently, but later on, he began to think about scenarios to use his pills.

He had just received a special prop and was eager to test it out.

He thought that if it didn’t work out, he might as well experiment himself. He would take the pill, see its effects, then exercise to understand what this stamina enhancement was all about.

Soon after the meeting ended, Chen Yan and those present had a meal together, and then he returned to Qin Island with Yang Rou in the driver’s service.

Back at his home, Chen Yan washed up, tidied a bit, then took the pill as he had planned.

After swallowing the pill, Chen Yan didn’t feel anything at first.

But then, he felt as if there was a small sun in his belly, slowly releasing warmth.

That warmth made him feel warm all over, as if enhanced by a buff, giving him endless strength.

Chen Yan thought there was no time to delay and started to exercise.

But just a few minutes into his workout, suddenly, his phone rang.

Chen Yan paused his stance training and checked his phone, realizing it was from Zhao Ying.

Chen Yan answered the call and asked, "What’s up, Brother Ying?"

Zhao Ying’s casual voice came through the phone, "Apprentice. I know you’ve been busy recently, so I haven’t pushed you for morning training."

"But now it’s evening. You’re off duty and should be free."

"Let’s go for a night run!"

Chen Yan: ...

For the first time, Chen Yan felt that Zhao Ying actually had a brain.

She even knew to use "you’re off duty now, not busy" as an excuse to pull him into a night run.

But... he really didn’t want to interact with Zhao Ying right now.

Especially after he had made Zhao Ying confirm their "friendship."

So, Chen Yan coughed and said, "Actually... I’m quite busy right now."

Zhao Ying responded, "But you promised if you couldn’t exercise in the morning, you’d do it in the evening."

Chen Yan: ...

Can people’s IQ really change?

He weighed his options, continued looking for excuses, "Let me finish up what I’m doing, and then I’ll exercise."

Zhao Ying said without hesitation, "Then I’ll wait for you."

Chen Yan: ...

Well, it seemed he couldn’t escape this time.

Since it had come to this, he might as well accept it.

Chen Yan thought, since Zhao Ying was so sincere about exercising, he might as well go along with her. It would be a good opportunity to discuss their relationship.

With that in mind, Chen Yan quickly said with a smile, "How could I, as the apprentice, make my master wait?"

"I’m coming right down."

Zhao Ying responded, and then hung up.

A minute later, Chen Yan ran quickly to the community gate.

With the Stamina Pills, he was truly energetic!

Seeing Chen Yan like this, Zhao Ying was very surprised, and without any pleasantries, started running with him.

The night run with the two of them was quite fun.

Normally, a night run would mostly be a slow jog. But here, one with superhuman constitution and another boosted by pills, they chased each other like a gust of wind racing forward.

Chen Yan was also experiencing this fully liberating opportunity for the first time, so his speed got faster and faster, charging, and recharging.

Zhao Ying synchronized with Chen Yan, charging when he did, slowing down when he did.

Thus, the two of them ran for an hour.

Only when they reached the seaside, and Chen Yan’s drug effect had long passed, using up his physical energy and getting a bit tired, did they stop.

Seeing Chen Yan gasping, Zhao Ying, while trotting side by side, gradually regulated her breath. After Chen Yan took the pill, she actually felt a bit of pressure and brought out her real skills.

By the time she had adjusted her breathing, Zhao Ying surprisingly patted Chen Yan’s shoulder and said, "Apprentice! Well done! Did you get an injection of chicken blood tonight?"

"Why so enduring?!"

Chen Yan hurriedly waved his hand, "Brother Ying, that phrase isn’t used like that."

A question mark slowly appeared above Zhao Ying’s head.

"What made you last so long tonight?"

Chen Yan: ...

That still sounded weird.

Maybe seeing Chen Yan’s expression, Zhao Ying continued,

"Tonight, why are you so strong?"

Chen Yan: ...

Why was the conversation moving in an even stranger direction?

Chen Yan thought it best not to let Zhao Ying speak any longer.

He said, "Brother Ying, let’s talk about something else."

Maybe seeing that Chen Yan wasn’t satisfied with the topic, Zhao Ying just waved her hand and praised, "You truly are a martial arts prodigy."

"I was wondering, you’ve been training quite a lot these past few days. Why has your strength suddenly started to slow down?"

"I didn’t expect you had enhanced your stamina and toughness."

Chen Yan chuckled dryly.

He hadn’t expected that the Stamina Pills would have such an effect.

During his experiment, he discovered just how potent these Stamina Pills were.

For more than half an hour after taking the pill, he felt his body was filled with endless strength — as if, during this half hour, his stamina was inexhaustible.

Even after the half-hour had passed...

because he was thoroughly "warmed-up" and hadn’t expended much energy, he could still maintain this state for over ten minutes.

Such enduring power, Chen Yan thought, whether playing basketball or soccer, was like a bug.

Even if he hadn’t planned to pursue sports, his prowess in bed would surely rise dramatically!

And from the Stamina Pills, he deduced the effects of the Wisdom Pills.

Chen Yan believed that if he took a Wisdom Pill, then for more than half an hour, his focus would be incredibly sharp, and wisdom and inspiration would flow endlessly.

Even after the pill’s effects wore off, for an extra ten minutes, his brain could maintain this overloaded operational speed.

Still, a bug-level effect!

By comparison, Zhao Ying’s praise seemed barely noteworthy.

After pondering over his newly acquired special item, Chen Yan glanced at Zhao Ying.

The two were walking along the beach, the atmosphere a bit ambiguous.

This made Chen Yan remember his mission tonight, as he had planned to secure Zhao Ying’s final 20-degree shift! fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

Now was not the time to miss this opportunity.

With that thought, Chen Yan coughed and began, "Brother Ying. How do you think our relationship is?"

Zhao Ying glanced at Chen Yan and replied, "Pretty good."

Chen Yan nodded, then guided her, "Right. So, we are good friends, aren’t we?"

Hearing Chen Yan’s words, Zhao Ying questioned in confusion, "Otherwise?"
