Chapter 1064: Chapter 1052: A Calamity of Blood “I… I’ve never confessed to anyone before, and I… I’ve never been in a relationship,” Lin Yu said. “I don’t know how to confess, it’s just… I just feel that I like you.” “Hahaha, you’re really an interesting girl,” Song Yun laughed and said. “Are you sure you’re not just saying this to steal Lin Jia’s thunder and get my help?” “There’s a bit of that in there,” Lin Yu said. “But… but that’s just a small part. The main reason I’m telling you this is because I like you.” “Alright then,” Song Yun said with a smug smile. “In that case, even if I eat you up, you wouldn’t mind, right?” “Huh?” Lin Yu looked at Song Yun in surprise. Although she was prepared for this moment, having someone say it so directly still felt a bit awkward. Nᴇw ɴovel chaptᴇrs are published on N0veI.Fiɾe.net “Come here,” Song Yun gestured to Lin Yu. Lin Yu looked at Song Yun, puzzled, “Where to?” “Sit on my lap,” Song Yun said, patting his thigh. Lin Yu blushed and said, “How… how should I sit?” “Just sit sideways,” Song Yun said. “Let me listen to your heartbeat and breathing closely to see if you’re telling the truth.” Song Yun had a way of making taking advantage sound so reasonable. His eloquence was truly something else. Lin Yu hesitated for a moment, then took a deep breath and said, “I’m… I’m coming over.” “Mm, come on,” Song Yun said, sitting on the sofa with his legs together, calmly watching Lin Yu. Lin Yu walked over to Song Yun, then turned sideways, and sat on Song Yun’s lap. Song Yun naturally wrapped his arm around Lin Yu’s waist. “What… what are you thinking about?” Seeing Song Yun staring off into space while looking at his own lap, Lin Yu felt a bit dissatisfied. “I’m at least a pretty girl you’re holding, and you’re off in your thoughts without saying anything. Isn’t that a bit dismissive of me?” “I wouldn’t mind you becoming my woman, but just because you’re with me doesn’t mean you’ll definitely get what you want. Many things can be beyond my control as well.” “I… I understand,” Lin Yu said, “But… but I like you.” Song Yun paused for a moment, then laughed, “How do you like me? Why do you like me? What is it you like about me?” “I… I don’t know…” Lin Yu shook her head. “It’s just… I just like you.” “Hahaha, honestly, I don’t want you to follow Lin Jia’s old path,” Song Yun laughed a little and then said seriously to Lin Yu, “I don’t want it to be just a transaction between us. Do you understand what I mean?” “You’re a woman who inspires sympathy, you have your difficulties, making it harder to progress than Lin Jia, but you’re more diligent. That’s why I kept helping you. Actually, I don’t care whether I have your body or not, really. But if you give your body to me because you like me, then I’ll take responsibility for you. Not that I won’t for Lin Jia, but it’s different. With Lin Jia, it’s a transaction. With you, at least there’s a bit of affection involved.” “Really? Are you saying you like me too?” Lin Yu looked at Song Yun excitedly and asked. “You can’t say it like that,” Song Yun replied. “I have a good impression of you and I sympathize with you. As for liking you, it’s still too early. I do admire the hardworking part of you.” “So I’m better than Lin Jia?” Lin Yu asked with wide eyes. “If you insist on putting it that way, then yes,” Song Yun nodded. “Lin Jia is more calculating and less sensible than you. She might have gotten into my bed earlier, but in terms of importance, you’re more important.” Lin Yu’s face lit up immediately. She grabbed Song Yun’s hand and said, “I… I always thought Lin Jia was more important to you. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have arranged for her to go to the national TV station while I’ve been stuck in the local one.” “You fool,” Song Yun said. “Arranging for Lin Jia to join the national TV is much simpler than arranging it for you. Why? Lin Jia has connections. Her father is somebody influential in the city, which makes it easier to pass through assessments. And you? You’re like a peasant. Even though you have some identity now, passing the assessment is still difficult for you, especially when it’s the national TV station we’re talking about. Do you get what I’m saying?” “I get it,” Lin Yu nodded and said, “So will I ever be able to get into the national TV station?” “Not necessarily, but you don’t have to go to the national TV station. You could aim for a managerial position at the TV station,” Song Yun said with a smile. “You could become a deputy director or director; it’s not necessarily worse than being at the national station. Although the influence isn’t comparable, in terms of power, you wouldn’t be much less than a national TV host.” “Oh? Would you help me?” Lin Yu eagerly looked at Song Yun. “Do you want me to help you?” Song Yun asked in return. Lin Yu thought for a moment and then said, “I’d rather not.” “Why not?” Song Yun asked with a smile. “You said I’m different from Lin Jia. If I gave myself to you tonight and then you helped me into a provincial management position, in essence, I’d be just like Lin Jia. I’d rather stay as a host at the provincial station,” Lin Yu said. “Haha, it seems you’re not brainless after all!” Song Yun laughed and said. “You’re the brainless one! I’m really smart!” Lin Yu replied with dissatisfaction. Song Yun laughed and carried Lin Yu straight to the bedroom. Lin Yu suddenly stiffened. Song Yun got up from Lin Yu and asked, “What’s wrong?” Lin Yu let out a complicated sigh, then looked down at herself and said, “I… my period just started!” Song Yun looked at Lin Yu in surprise. “What’s going on!” Lin Yu sat up and said, “I thought I wasn’t due for a few days. Why is it coming early today!” It suddenly dawned on Song Yun. Of all times, Lin Yu’s period decided to come now! Yes, it was her menstrual period, not a monthly visitor from her family. Song Yun saw the slight red on the sheets and for a moment felt like life was full of these sudden ups and downs. Damn it, there was blood but… but does this count as bloodshed too? Song Yun felt utterly speechless. Once again, a joke was unfolding here, just like last time. Everything was set, and now this… Is fate suggesting Song Yun had too many women, and sparing him from troubling more? “Sorry, I need to use the restroom.” With her period coming so abruptly, Lin Yu quickly got up and ran to the restroom. Song Yun felt a deep sense of disillusionment with life. In that disillusionment, Song Yun felt like smoking. But after a quick search, he realized he’d left his cigarettes in his other clothes because he changed outfits. Sigh, things indeed never go perfectly.
