Chapter 86 I'll Pay for Your Dream
"Damn, that's too much for me!" Watching Lu Yiyao just out of the bath, Zhang Menglong admitted that he almost lost control.
It was just a set of pajamas, but because the villa is always at a constant temperature throughout the seasons, these pajamas didn't need to consider warmth, only aesthetics and comfort were the priority.
Lu Yiyao's skin was the fairest among all the girls Zhang Menglong had seen, and those long legs were as perfect as crafted art, the swan-like delicate neck and the alluring collarbones, plus her slightly wet hair, probably no man could withstand such temptation.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
"Crap, I'm gonna get a nosebleed!" Zhang Menglong felt a warm flow in his nose and quickly turned his head up.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"That, I've been eating too well lately, a bit overheated, no big deal, no big deal!" Zhang Menglong would never admit that his nosebleed was due to the strong visual impact.
"Hahaha, Zhang Menglong, did you get knocked out by my charm? If you become anemic, don't expect me to take responsibility!"
"You're still laughing!" Desperate, Zhang Menglong ran downstairs, grabbed a few tissues, stuffed them into his nostrils, and after calming down a bit, he noticed his "little brother" was also somewhat overly excited.
"I should've just let her live here alone, this is like torturing myself!" When coming to Gusu, Wang Ling even warned me that Lu Yiyao might be a Qiao Biluo, but who would've thought she's not a Qiao Biluo, but actually a Wang Zuxian; who can withstand that!
"Let's have some midnight snacks... I ordered some barbecue and milk tea for you, knowing you've got the 'I don't gain weight' body type." Zhang Menglong grabbed a skewer of kidneys and took a big bite.
"Zhang Menglong, look at me! Why aren't you looking at me anymore? So love can disappear, huh?" Teasing Zhang Menglong, Lu Yiyao also let herself go a lot more.
"Why are you starting to gnaw on kidneys, are you not feeling well?"
"Woman! You're playing with fire!" Hearing Lu Yiyao's "provocation," Zhang Menglong could not hold back any longer—that would shame any man.
He wiped his mouth, lifted Lu Yiyao sideways, placed her on the sofa, and immediately, a somewhat entrancing scent rushed into his nostrils.
"Click!" The chef and nanny glimpsed this scene and quickly left, sensing that what followed might not be suitable for children.
This was the first time they were so close; Zhang Menglong could even hear Lu Yiyao's rapid heartbeat, and, of course, his own heart was beating incredibly fast.
"Do you want to find out if I'm up for it?" Zhang Menglong stared at Lu Yiyao's lips, trying hard to suppress his impulse.
"Zhang Menglong, are you crazy? Get up now, or I'll kick you!" Lu Yiyao's legs were already twitching, but to Zhang Menglong, the scene was even more enchanting.
"Stay cool! Stay cool!" Zhang Menglong let go of Lu Yiyao, took a sugar cane from the table, and started to chew on it, mumbling something to himself.
"Hahaha, shouldn't a man light a cigarette in times like this? What are you doing chewing on sugar cane?"
"I don't do smoke and mirrors!" Zhang Menglong rolled his eyes, "I'll let you off today, but next time it won't be so easy!"
"By the way," Zhang Menglong quickly found a topic to ease the somewhat ambiguous and awkward atmosphere, "graduation is approaching, have you thought about what you'll do after graduating?"
"Of course, I'll continue singing," Lu Yiyao blurted out.
"That's not an easy path," Zhang Menglong said, "You don't know how many talented musicians end up on the streets unable to find a meal, and finally take jobs in electronics factories. There are lots of such cases."
"I can become a teacher," Lu Yiyao said, "I have obtained a lot of certificates during my spare time, I'll treat music as a side job and hobby, won't that work?"
"Come to Jiangnan City after you graduate," Zhang Menglong said.
"Huh?"
"Since you love music, I'll definitely do everything in my power to help you," Zhang Menglong said seriously, "as long as you persevere, I will foot the bill for your dream."
"I can bring in the best music teachers to guide you, and I can even ask Fang Wenshan to write lyrics for you. If necessary, I could even get Teacher Daboku to sing backup for you!"
"If all else fails, I'll just buy NetEase Music and put your song on the homepage!"
"Are you serious? Leave some room for other singers to make a living!" Lu Yiyao couldn't help but laugh. If things really worked out like Zhang Menglong was planning, who knows how many talented singers would be overshadowed.
"I plan to try it out on my own first," Lu Yiyao said, "I do have several hundred thousand followers after all, so I'm not about to starve to death. If it really doesn't work out, then I'd seek help from you, Mr. Zhang. That should be okay, right?"
"That's fine. Since you've decided on this, what else can I say," Zhang Menglong respected Lu Yiyao's own decision, "just call me anytime you need help."
"Once I've finished my graduation thesis, I'll come to Jiangnan City to find you."
"You're serious?" Zhang Menglong brightened up.
"Actually, I've received a lot of offers from companies to sign with them lately. I was hesitating about where to go, but now I might as well head to Jiangnan City," Lu Yiyao said with a smile, "At that time, I'll be counting on Mr. Zhang to cover for me."
"Sure thing," hearing this news, Zhang Menglong felt much more at ease, "Alright, it's late now, you should get some sleep. You have class tomorrow, don't you?"
"Don't you?" Lu Yiyao retorted.
"Me? I've invested billions in research funding for my research group. That little graduation thesis? My senior brothers and sisters have already taken care of it for me. Graduating is just a formality!"
"Gross!"
"What do you mean gross! I've seriously done experiments okay, I've actually done all the experiments hands-on every day!"
"Alright, alright, I believe you, now scram and go to sleep!"
"Sure, I'll sleep above you. If there's anything, just call me anytime. If you feel lonely, cold, and alone at night, I can provide any service!"
"What do you mean 'sleep above me'? Zhang Menglong, you better clarify!'"
"You're on the second floor, and I'm on the third, so naturally, I'm sleeping above you!" Zhang Menglong explained, "If you want to be on top, that's fine too. We can switch places!"
"That's more like it… No, wait! That's even more outrageous! Don't run away! I'm gonna beat you to death!"
...
After laughing and joking around for a while, Zhang Menglong lay exhausted on the bed. He turned on his phone, and today, the entire trending section was filled with content about him.
No one knew how powerful netizens could be. The information about Zhang Menglong's ancestor, Zhang Jingzhi, had been dug up. Of course, these were only superficial details. Those secrets that the Zhang family didn't want people to know couldn't be investigated by anyone.
"Ding!" A text message popped up, with the title from "Dads of 314," the chat group for Zhang Menglong's dormitory. These guys seemed to have been busy looking for jobs lately, and there hadn't been any new messages in the group for a long time.
"Brothers, let's find a time to meet up!" Zhang Menglong quickly typed out a string of words.
"Menglong, Old Sun is in trouble!" Xu Li's message popped up, "He's been falsely accused, and now we're out of options and can only ask for your help!"
