Chen Xiaoyan was obviously drunk and besides herself. She locked Ye Lingchen’s hands with her own like a pair of vices, refusing to let Ye Lingchen leave.

At a glance, Chen Xiaoyan’s demeanor showed she was getting more and more into it and Ye Lingchen’s voice trembled as he spoke, “Hey miss, you… you stay away, get a grip.”

“Ah ah, you’re still pretending to be a gentleman.” Chen Xiaoyan mumbled drunkenly, “If you’re not going to make a move, I will. Let’s see how long you can hold out.”

Having said that, she began to come closer to Ye Lingchen, still in a daze.

“Miss, this is a misunderstanding. An unintentional indiscretion, don’t…”

“You d*ck, you keep saying no, what are you pretending for?” Chen Xiaoyan’s drunken face carried a look of knowing.

“You saved me today, so let me repay you with my body.” Chen Xiaoyan’s voice carried a faint trace of bitterness, “Since joining the entertainment industry requires indecency, it’s no big deal.”

What… what the f*ck?

Ye Lingchen did not expect that the consequences of saving someone would be this severe, this woman was truly too wild.

Finally, Ye Lingchen’s other hand was held tightly by Chen Xiaoyan, and their fingers intertwined.

Ye Lingchen could only accept his fate and let Chen Xiaoyan hold his hand, and not resist.

Five minutes later.

Huff huff huff!

Ye Lingchen gulped in large breaths of air, calming himself down. He had mostly held it together until Chen Xiaoyan fell asleep.

Due to her deep, intoxicated sleep, she occasionally mumbled incoherently. Ye Lingchen rolled her away.

From the corner of her mouth flowed a liquid mixture of saliva and alcohol, bringing her consummate beauty to another level.

Ye Lingchen looked on at Chen Xiaoyan who was deep in sleep and felt a sense of melancholic loss.

He shook his head sadly, he never thought that he would experience his first sexual encounter under such circumstances.

Looking at the time, it was already late. He would not be able to return to his hostel. Maybe… he should spend the night here?

Lying on the bed, with an extremely beautiful woman next to him, Ye Lingchen was unable to fall asleep. He kept hearing Chen Xiaoyan’s sleep talking next to him. In her stupor, her words were incoherent, and Ye Lingchen had to focus to roughly understand what was being said.

Following what the 3 men said when he saved her, Ye Lingchen opened Tik Tok and stalked Chen Xiaoyan.

The profile picture was a young woman in a white cotton dress, and there was no doubt that it was the same young woman on the bed.

Apart from that, there were a lot of Tik Tok videos.

She always wore various fashionable clothes and regardless of whether they were dance videos or singing videos, she always wore a smile on her face. It gave the viewer an impression of youthful exuberance and beautiful optimism.

In line with her beautiful features, her Tik Tok page had accumulated more than 5 million fans.

However, an internet influencer was just an internet influencer, and her fan count when compared to a star, was more than just 1 and a half stars.

It was obvious that Chen Xiaoyan had put in a lot of effort. She updated her Tik Tok daily, displaying her most perfect self. Her dancing was alluring, her voice moving.

Her only dream was to transition from an influencer to a star. However, it was a shame that she met a brick wall at every turn.

She went to find an established songwriter to collaborate with, but the condition set by them was that she had to have sex with them. When she went to find a composer to compose and edit a song, their condition was that she had to have sex with them. When she looked for a publicist, their condition was that she had to have sex with them. In short, if she wanted to enter the entertainment industry, she had to sell her body…

This was truly a tragic story, with the injustice of misfortune. It made Ye Lingchen speechless as he heard about it.

Looking at Chen Xiaoyan, who was still frowning even in her sleep, Ye Lingchen was lost in thought for a fair bit of time. He breathed in deep, and finally got out of the bed.

He turned on the lamp, got on Baidu, and began to learn how to write lyrics!

“Self-studied the skills of songwriting, academic proficiency +1.”

“Self-studied the skills of songwriting, academic proficiency +1.”

“Self-studied the skills of songwriting, academic proficiency +1.”

…

At this point, Ye Lingchen realized something. It turns out that a lot of knowledge was interconnected, and songwriting was in the category of academics.

When he thought about it, it was true. Academics was the foundation of songwriting, much like poetry, they were connected. If it was a standalone knowledge, it would be a redundancy.

This also meant that all roads were connected and led to the same point, however people liked to divide similar things.

Because he already had a foundation in academics, Ye Lingchen quickly formulated a plan in his mind and began to study how to compose.

“Self-studied the skills of composing, composing proficiency +1.”

“Self-studied the skills of composing, composing proficiency +1.”

“Self-studied the skills of composing, composing proficiency +1.”

…

It was after midnight when Ye Lingchen put down his cellphone and looked once more at Chen Xiaoyan who was fast asleep. He picked up a pen and began to write.

Title: “Chaser of the Light”

Lyrics: If you said you were fireworks on the sea,

I’d be the foam on the waves,

Your light suddenly illuminated me.

…

Can I follow behind you,

Like a shadow following light, we would travel,

I can wait at this street,

And I don’t care if you’d pass me by,

Every time you lift your head,

Even tears feel free.

Being in love is like sunlight shining down,

You have it and you lose it.

…

Next to the lyrics, the melody was written down.

When he finished writing the song, dawn was already breaking. Ye Lingchen got up and prepared to leave. However, he hesitated, and picked up the pen once more, and wrote at the end.

Don’t despair, life is like a heart rate monitor, if it were smooth it means… you’re dead.

Yours, Y!

After that, he left silently.

At first glance, the contents of “Chaser of the Light” looked like it was talking about love. However, the light mentioned could not possibly be just about love.

At 9 a.m., Chen Xiaoyan woke up in a daze.

She lifted her hands and knocked her woozy head, her eyes still heavy with sleep.

Her mouth was dry, and she stuck her tongue out to lick her lips. There was something stuck to it, and there was a weird taste in her mouth, making her gag a little.

The fragmented memories of the night before began to coalesce in her mind once more.

Her eyes widened suddenly, and she froze, her face showing a flash of fear.

She checked her clothes in a rush and meticulously felt it through before she let out a large sigh of relief. She had not been violated.

However, last night, she thought that she helped him…

Chen Xiaoyan’s face flushed crimson, her entire face burned. Oh my god, why did she get so wild last night?

The most important thing was, that in her daze last night, she didn’t even take a good look at the fellow’s face. That was a big mistake.

However, since he didn’t violate her, he could be accepted as a gentleman.

Chen Xiaoyan had full confidence in her looks, any man who could resist his urges last night spoke volumes about his self-discipline.

Also… it seemed like he had saved her. When she thought about that, the disgust in her heart eased somewhat.

Regardless of that, however, she jumped out of the bed and into the bathroom to brush her teeth.

After a meticulous session of cleaning, Chen Xiaoyan finally exited the bathroom. Her eyes scanned the room, and she prepared to leave.

However, when her gaze fell on the desk of the room, she paused slightly.

On the desk, the lamp was on and there was a piece of paper and a pen there. There seemed to be something written on the paper.
