"I believe everyone has been waiting for this for a long time!"
"Ahhhhh—" screams erupted from below.
"The King's Family formed a temporary group and prepared a show in just one night. Are you all looking forward to it?"
"expect--"
"Without further ado, let's have the five members of the King Family—Z, King, Xiaoyu, Baishuang, and Yanghe—present a program for everyone: 'User Notice'!"
"…………???"
Liu Yinhe and his parents were stunned. They thought to themselves, "What kind of ridiculous title is this? Is it a skit?"
The three watched with growing curiosity, afraid of missing a single exciting moment.
The stage lights slowly came on, and the spotlight shone on the first person.
The person's voice was extremely pleasant, deep and warm, like a cello that a craftsman had honed over ten years, very elegant.
He said, "Welcome to register an account on 'Love Cat Live'. To make it easier for you to use the service, please read this User Guide carefully. Article 1, This website..."
Then a short boy with a clear voice continued reading: "The second one..."
Two more people came out, both quite handsome and tall. One of them, Liu Yinhe, looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before. However, he was so shocked by the user instructions that he lost his ability to think. After listening to the long fourth instruction, he slowly turned his head.
"...cultural programs?"
The chairman and his wife remained silent, managing to maintain their composure, signaling Liu Yinhe to stop making noise and continue watching the program attentively, since the talented young intellectual they had just become fans of hadn't appeared yet.
"Article Five." With the spotlight on, Bei Sining recited expressionlessly, "The content provided by this website is jointly the responsibility of the broadcaster and the website. The website can, in accordance with relevant laws and regulations, lock content suspected of crossing the line (see appendix) and order rectification. Three violations…"
Liu Yinhe: "Dad, Mom..."
"Stop making noise!" The chairman's wife shed tears of emotion again: "Listen to this, how beautiful it is!"
The chairman also said, "The content is also very educational!"
"Exactly! Many people just click 'read' when they register without actually reading it! This is deceptive and should not be encouraged!"
"But look at that young man, how high his awareness is! He even read the website terms and conditions again. He cares so much about the users."
"He deserves praise; he truly is a cultured person."
"Genius, huh."
Liu Yinhe: "………………"
That was a really flashy move!
***
Wen Zheng and his group of five walked past backstage with a cold and aloof aura, their presence quite impressive.
People in the corridor quickly made way for them, each with an expression of awe.
Wow, that's really something! Most people wouldn't think of that.
Finally arriving at the empty lounge, Deng Puyue couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
"Hahahaha, damn it! When Yanghe first started reading, there was a fat guy eating a watermelon in the audience. He heard one sentence and the watermelon fell out of his mouth in fright! You didn't see that, did you, Yanghe? Hahaha..."
Turning around, I saw Yanghe squatting on the ground, trembling as he waved his hand to indicate that he couldn't go on.
Although Wen Zheng's face was expressionless, his aura was warm and welcoming: "The website gave each of us 200,000 yuan, so we should do something practical for them. I think this program is very good and will leave a deep impression on everyone."
Bai Shuang was leaning against the door scrolling through her phone when she heard this and sighed, "Sigh, it's already trending on social media."
This is something that can't be talked about unless it trends on social media.
Director Liu eventually forced a smile. Although he initially felt the show lacked sincerity, once it gained popularity, he was quick to pay. That night, each of them received an extra 200,000 yuan in their accounts, and except for Wen Zheng, they received 500,000 yuan.
Bei Sining didn't have a card, so the money was transferred to him along with the other two hundred thousand yuan. The other one hundred thousand yuan was a reward given to him by the planners and website executives after watching Bei Sining's program.
While packing his luggage, Wen Zheng said, "Your piece has caused a sensation in academic circles. A professor who specializes in the guqin asked you what piece you played and where it came from. Do you want to reply?"
"Huh?" Bei Sining asked blankly, "Does he think I played very well?"
"Yes." Wen Zheng folded his pile of clothes halfway through, then looked at him strangely: "Didn't you always say you played well, and you didn't believe others when they praised you?"
Bei Sining was silent for a moment, then awkwardly said, "Of course I believe you. Let me see where you're praising me..."
Wen Zheng put the clothes down and showed him how to read the trending topics. The screen was now filled with praise for him, and Wen Zheng wasn't afraid for him to look at it.
"You can see keywords like these that include your name when you go in. If you want to apply for verification, that's also possible. Then, when others want to talk to you, they'll contact you, and you'll receive message notifications."
Bei Sining hesitated for a moment, but still clicked on it. What she saw was an overwhelming flood of compliments.
Wen Zheng glanced at him out of the corner of his eye and clearly caught a slight look of surprise on his face. Surprised?
Needless to say, he was used to the shouts of those who admired his looks. But when he saw people praising his piano skills, he looked at them very carefully, scanning each compliment.
The corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up, looking somewhat smug.
Wen Zheng let him look at it at his own pace and packed all their luggage. After checking the bathroom and lifting the blankets to make sure nothing was left behind, he started to worry about what to do with the three large bags of clothes.
Once they get back, Bei Sining definitely won't go home with him like that. He doesn't plan to point his finger at him and yell, "Cat spirit, come with me!" Bei Sining will almost certainly not agree.
He gave himself a month to pursue Bei Sining.
So from now on, we can start doing some little tricks. Wen Zheng's heart was racing, and taking advantage of Bei Sining's inattention, he stuffed all of Bei's clothes into his suitcase.
"Invite him to your home" achievement obtained.

Chapter 62
On Thursday after returning home, Wen Zheng almost forgot about it if he hadn't received a call from Cui Tiantian, the teacher in the psychology group.
He went out wrapped in a scarf, bought some groceries first, and then went right on time.
He hadn't planned to go, but Cui Tiantian had been earnestly asking him on the phone why he had taken so many days off, and saying that she missed him a lot since they hadn't seen each other for a long time. Wen Zheng thought about it and decided to go anyway, and then he could talk to her about not going in the future.
Presumably, Master will no longer dwell on this issue.
It was the same old, dilapidated classroom, with a sign hanging at the door that read "Rongcheng Mental Health Group".
While Wen Zheng was away, a corner of the car was chipped off, leaving everyone puzzled as to how it happened.
The timing was perfect; the aunties had all arrived and were gathered together, chattering about the everyday family matters that had happened in the past week.
Hearing the argument without thinking, he casually glanced around the classroom and noticed a very conspicuous person sitting in the corner.
The reason he stands out is because he is a young man.
In this classroom, during the two weeks he was absent, there was a second young man besides him!
Wen Zheng's eyes widened slightly in surprise. After taking a few more glances, the person in the corner timidly raised their head.
...Looks familiar.
"Xiao Wen!" Aunt A hugged him warmly and patted his shoulder, saying, "This is Xiao Yu, he just arrived today! Teacher Cui personally brought him over, and he's off to complete the formalities now. You're all young people, come and have a good chat!"
“Yes, yes,” Aunt B chimed in, “You’re all good-looking, and Xiao Yu isn’t bad either. He looks so well-behaved; he’ll definitely be a loving husband… Not to criticize you, but you’re both getting on in years. It’s not hard to find someone, is it? Even if you’re not getting married, you still need a girlfriend…”
Aunt C joked, "These days, you don't necessarily have to marry a girl. Boys can pair up and raise children, and there's nothing wrong with that. Xiao Wen, what do you think of Xiao Yu? You seem to be a perfect match."
Wen Zheng: "…………"
"Yu Jin?"
"Ah, it's you!" Yu Jin was surprised. His eyes widened first, then quickly curved into crescents. He hurriedly stood up and clasped his hands together, saying, "Wen Zheng, thank you for helping me last time... What are you doing here?"
Wen Zheng felt a little strange: "I originally lived in Rongcheng. But what about you? Where are you working?"
Yu Jin smiled shyly, revealing a dimple at the corner of his mouth, which made his otherwise ordinary face much more lively.
"Back then, the manager talked to me and gave me an extra three months' salary. I wanted to find work in a city... I heard that Rongcheng has mild winters and cool summers, so I came here. I never expected to see you here... What a coincidence."
Upon hearing about this connection, the surrounding aunties became even more eager to pair them up, showering Wen Zheng with compliments and quickly exposing his true colors.
Just as Wen Zheng was about to interrupt their happy moment, Cui Tiantian rushed into the classroom with documents in hand, shouting energetically, "Good evening, everyone!"
All: "Hello, Teacher Cui!"
Cui Tiantian dyed her hair orange today and had heart stickers on her face. After watching half of the anchor gala, Wen Zheng had developed a certain resistance to such an outfit.
It's alright.
"Xiao Zheng~" Cui Tiantian said sweetly, "It's been so long since I've seen you! Have a seat... How about you sit next to our new classmate? It's all boys, so it'll be easier to chat... Yes, let's all sit in a circle!"
Wen Zheng dragged a chair and asked Yu Jin in a low voice, "Who sent you here?"
Yu Jin looked a little confused: "I... came here because of an online ad."
As he spoke, he honestly opened a local job posting website, and sure enough, there was a pop-up ad for this free psychology group.
He lowered his head slightly, looked up cautiously at Wen Zheng, and asked, "...Is there an additional charge?"
Wen Zheng was taken aback for a moment: "No."
Yu Jin visibly breathed a sigh of relief, his dimples appearing as he smiled: "That's good, that teacher wasn't lying to me."
Wen Zheng himself didn't want to go to this kind of gathering of middle-aged women to listen to them complain about their husbands and children, but then again, just because he didn't need it didn't mean others didn't.
Yu Jin seemed to be of modest means, and coupled with the long-term ostracism and emotional abuse he had endured, his words at the police station that day also revealed something rather abnormal. Wen Zheng suddenly felt that it was a good thing that he was willing to come here; Cui Tiantian was a good teacher, very energetic and patient.
If Yu Jin can persevere, he might change his mind. Although the older women are not like him, most of them are kind-hearted.
"It's time for our weekly review again~" Cui Tiantian wagged her index finger: "Is everyone ready with something special to share? Well then, let's start with Xiao Zheng, who's been busy and on leave?"
Wen Zheng stood up habitually and read the text aloud indifferently.
"Last Sunday, I came back from a business trip and went to pick up my cat."
"Oh?" Cui Tiantian asked curiously, "How is the cat? Has it been sad and missed you so much these past few days that it couldn't eat?"
"…………No."
Everyone showed expressions of regret for him.
"Don't be sad, Xiao Wen. The point of raising a cat is just to make it happy. Happiness isn't about what it gives us, but about seeing them happy!" Cui Tiantian tried her best to explain the key points.
"Yes, yes! Teacher Cui is absolutely right!"
