Also known as: The Quiet Senior Researcher in My Team Is the Buff, Risque Fitness Influencer I Keep Seeing on Douyin

After graduating with her master's degree, Cheng Wenyao went from downtown Nancheng to the remote Science City, and from a university lab to a pharmaceutical company lab.

Her life was more mechanical than a robot running on a preset program, but she was comfortable with it.

Until one day, she discovered an interesting secret.

Her quiet senior labmate of many years, Lin Keyu, always buttoned his shirts all the way up and covered himself thoroughly with a cotton lab coat. Who would have guessed he was actually a muscular fitness blogger with quite a following?

"Senior, you wouldn't want anyone else to know you're a risqué muscle guy, would you?" Cheng Wenyao joked.

Lin Keyu not only didn't get angry, he even asked gently, "Wenyao, what do you want to do?"

"Let me feel you."

A joke developed in a direction she never expected.

Cheng Wenyao stood behind Lin Keyu as he bent his head to record data. His neck was covered in faint marks, some from her scratching or biting him, and maybe some from her choking him.

She glanced around, then quietly poked the back of his neck with her fingertip.

Lin Keyu turned to see her looking so pleased with herself. He smiled helplessly, then turned back around.

Only Lin Keyu knew that at night, lying on a bed filled with Cheng Wenyao's scent, he held her by the waist and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Yaoyao, come on up."

And only he knew that their supposedly coincidental assignment to the same team was the result of his deliberately transferring internally.

Even the videos Cheng Wenyao thought she was the first to come across, meticulously edited to sexy background music, were actually visible only to her.

Reader's Guide (Things to Note):

The blurb was screenshotted on 2024.06.26.

Both leads are sexually inexperienced, and it's a happy ending. The male lead is very, very chaste, and is three years older than the female lead.

The female lead is in it for sex, while the male lead is in it for love. He thinks they're dating, then discovers she's only his bedmate, so he has no choice but to keep her with his body.

The male lead isn't really a risqué influencer. His videos are fitness tutorials or ads promoting his family's gym, and he's fully dressed in them. The genuinely risqué videos are visible only to the female lead.

There's no hierarchy of professions. Please don't criticize them just because their fields of study and jobs are so common, QAQ.
