"Work matters," Yu Chen replied.

Ling Qing didn't ask any further questions, merely stating, "It's time to go to bed, yet you're still talking about work. You must really love your job."

Removing his slippers, he got into bed, using a long leg to sidle over to Yu Chen. Peering at his moist hair, Yu Chen stretched out a hand and felt it. Just as expected.

"Blow dry your hair before going to bed," he said.

"It's fine," Ling Qing hadn't been minded like this since childhood, "I'm used to it. Doesn't matter whether I blow dry it or not."

"Don't you get headaches?" Yu Chen asked.

Ling Qing shook his head, "Nope."

Yu Chen eyed him suspiciously.

Seeing his expression, Ling Qing thought for a bit before leaning close to him, grinting, "I'm just too lazy to blow dry my hair. But baby, if you want to help me, my hair can be dry before I go to sleep."

Yu Chen laughed, "Why does it have to involve me? Either way, it's not me who will have a headache."

Ling Qing clicked his tongue, "So mean, so fake."

He sighed, laying down under the covers, "I lent you my bed and you won't even blow dry my hair. What a cold, cruel, emotionless world this is. Like midnight rain pelting down the flowers, tear drops dripping down a heartfelt letter, daybreak comes. He who wishes to impart his thoughts must enter into a monologue. It's so hard, so hard, so hard!"

Yu Chen: ...

"Where's the hair dryer?" He said helplessly.

From the bedside cabinet, Ling Qing retrieved a hair dryer and handed it to him with an innocent expression. Yu Chen glanced at the look of pure innocence plastered on his face and went to his side before starting to blow dry his hair.

Ling Qing was pleased. "Am I the first person to let you blow dry their hair?"

"Who else would?" Yu Chen retorted, "Only you're this lazy."

"Laziness is the common state of man. Out of laziness, humans invented washing machines, dishwashers, automatic vacuum cleaners, et cetera. Therefore, laziness is the driver of progress. You must cherish every lazy individual, because it's due to them that we have so many great innovations."

"So you're saying I should cherish you?"

"Nah, I'm just telling you that lazy people are blameless, long live science!"

Yu Chen burst into laughter, "You're really skilled at speaking nonsense. Since you're so good at it, why don't you become a lawyer? You can turn black to white."

"I hate that I didn't study law before, now it's too late to go back."

After hearing this, Yu Chen was curious, "What did you major in?"

"Finance," Ling Qing recalled the original owner's major. This was, of course, not his real major, which was tourism management.

Nodding, Yu Chen added, "Then you still want to do this line of work?"

Ling Qing shook his head, "Not interested."

"Then what are you interested in?"

"Acting," Ling Qing replied truthfully.

Seeing that the topic had come up, Ling Qing stopped hiding his intentions and simply informed Yu Chen.

"If there are any talent selections, I'll probably go try. See if it could be my ticket into the entertainment industry."
