Chapter 211: Chapter 162: The Fitness-Loving Playboy Genius! A Call from Rebus

Li Muchen never would have imagined that the drama she was watching would end up being about her.

Of course, she recognized the woman in the white sportswear in the video. Wasn’t it her?

Who filmed her without her knowledge?

Lin Leqing was also a bit surprised as she watched the video. “Cousin, that woman has a really nice figure. Did our senior go to the gym just to hit on her?”

“…” Li Muchen was utterly speechless.

’Hit on her, my ass!’

’She was the one who had approached him to be friendly and ask about the video, but she never even got the chance to bring it up.’

Still, she couldn’t help but feel a little happy hearing her cousin praise her figure.

But she didn’t want her cousin to find out she was the woman in the video, so she quickly changed the subject. “Alright, stop focusing on that. Have you studied the new scripts? We don’t want any screw-ups this time.”

It was obvious to her that her cousin had a crush on Chen Jincheng.

If she let her cousin misunderstand that she and Chen Jincheng were involved in some ambiguous relationship, it could create a rift between them.

Hearing that, Lin Leqing finally looked away and quickly said, “Cousin, after dinner, can you be my practice partner? I need to rehearse.”

Sister Hong had given her two new scripts for their skit account: one called “Unparalleled Good Man,” and the other “The Right Way to Express Men’s Will to Live.”

The plot was the same as always: their senior would act as her super-simp, while she played the role of a domineering girlfriend. She had to convincingly portray a whole range of emotions—anger, needing to be coddled, happiness, bliss…

Compared to her first role, which was mostly just about being angry, these two scripts were clearly more challenging.

’Then again, having our senior act as her simp… that experience was just too good to pass up.’

…

「Taihe District.」

Chen Jincheng glanced at the soundly sleeping Yinyin, then got up and started doing push-ups.

As a notification chime announced the consumption of a Constitution Point, he subconsciously glanced at the “Life Simulation Game” interface and checked his stats:

Constitution Points: 483.

He had already used up 17 Constitution Points.

That was his tally from last night until today.

So, as long as he worked a little harder, he could burn through all these Constitution Points quickly.

At noon, he went out for lunch with Yinyin and did a couple’s stream with her at the same time.

His diehard fans were long used to this kind of romance content, and new fans were gradually getting accustomed to it too. They’d probably think it was abnormal if Chen Jincheng *didn’t* have a girl by his side one day.

Seeing that he was live, Yinyin quickly tried to get more screen time, deliberately scooting closer to him and pretending to be a doting girlfriend as she picked up food for him with her chopsticks.

Getting more screen time on her boss’s stream meant more viewers would come to her own channel later.

Besides, she didn’t even need to act anymore. This kind of intimate behavior was now a genuine expression of her feelings.

After all, familiarity had bred affection.

She and her boss had a deep bond now, and besides, she really liked him!

Naturally, this was the kind of thing that would make many viewers feel overwhelmed by the public display of affection. But when it came to Cheng, his fans ate it up happily, the corners of their mouths turning up in a smile.

The “Cheng Yin” shippers, in particular, were going wild.

That’s right. Among Chen Jincheng’s diehard fans, just like with that Ancestral Master from his past life, all sorts of shipper factions had emerged for him and the various girls.

Right now, there was “Cheng Yin,” as well as “Cheng Bai” and “Cheng Cen.”

Whenever he wasn’t streaming, these fans would go watch the girls’ streams. Whether the girls could retain those viewers depended on their own charm.

Those who stayed would watch him when he was live, watch the girls when he wasn’t, and ship him with them.

However, the thing his diehard fans were most interested in today wasn’t Yinyin, but the gym incident.

“Cheng, when are you gonna land the girl from the gym?”

“Cheng: If I go to the gym, it’s because I’ve set my sights on a girl there.”

“Cheng: Don’t be fooled by me working out, I’m actually here to pick up girls!”

“…”

Seeing these comments, Chen Jincheng pretended to be annoyed. “What the hell, bros? Is that really what you all think of me? I’m really just going to the gym. I already told you I’m abstaining and starting to be self-disciplined. I’m going to become the number one fitness influencer online.”

Yinyin subconsciously glanced at him when she heard that.

’She had to admire her boss’s ability to lie through his teeth without even blushing.’

’Abstaining, my ass!’

’He’d just screwed her in broad daylight this afternoon.’

The fans in the stream chat clearly didn’t believe him either and started teasing:

“LMAO, Cheng’s starting to lie to himself now.”

“I think Cheng actually believes what he’s saying.”

“Yinyin: Guess I’ll leave then?”

“…”

Chen Jincheng ignored the banter and continued, “Bros, when you’re feeling lost or you’re single, just focus on self-discipline. Anything can deceive you, but your sweat won’t. Self-discipline can really help you become a better version of yourself. And when you do meet a girl you like, you can give her that better version of yourself.”

“Like the female trainer at the gym?”

“Give yourself to the girl in the white sportswear?”

“Cheng is being so serious, why does everyone’s mind go straight to the gutter (smiley face)!”

“…”

Chen Jincheng sighed. This was a classic case of telling the truth and having nobody believe you.

’He really was going to the gym just to work out.’

However, seeing these comments gave him an idea. If he signed Li Muchen, he could use this situation to promote her.

Wasn’t everyone saying that he must have gone to the gym because he’d set his sights on a girl there?

Well then, he might as well lean into the meme and use it for hype. He could give Li Muchen her first wave of popularity right off the bat.

And since nobody believed him, he’d just have to show them what a real fitness influencer was. He would break into a new demographic and use the effect of the Fitness Expert Card to surpass ten million followers.

His original plan had been to follow the example of that Ancestral Master from his past life and create a viral topic like “Coastal City’s Most Devoted Man” to break into the mainstream and surpass ten million followers.

But the Yijin project had been chugging along without any real explosive growth.
