YA Ch42: Elixirs

The morning livestream was exceptionally successful, with a surge in viewership.

As Lu Yu just took off his helmet, the business director rushed over like a whirlwind: “President Lu, the client is very satisfied and sent us several big boxes of Waist and Kidney Strengthening Pills, as well as some Ginseng and Deer Blood Wine and other supplements.”

Lu Yu’s mouth twitched. He originally didn’t want to take this advertisement, but the client gave so much, saying that if the results were good, there would be more cooperation in the future. It seems that the follow-up cooperation is likely to involve those trial products—Ginseng Pills and Deer Blood Wine. He wondered how Hua Wenyuan would view him in the future…

As the saying goes, it’s better to lose face together than alone. Lu Yu cleared his throat and said seriously, “Distribute them among the staff as employee benefits. Also, save a portion of Ginseng Pills and Deer Blood Wine for me; I’ll take them home to give to my father-in-law.”

Ming Yan, standing nearby, was speechless: “My dad doesn’t need these.”

After speaking, he paused, and his ears slowly turned red, realizing he had directly admitted that his father was the other party’s father-in-law. He glanced around, noticing that no one in the control room seemed to think anything was wrong.

Lu Yu chuckled, “Whether he needs them or not isn’t important; what matters is that I have to give them. Frequently thinking of and showing filial piety is what makes a good wife.”

The business director didn’t dare to interrupt. After their bickering, he resumed discussing Hua Wenyan’s merchandise issues: “The initial samples have arrived. The art team has reviewed them, and those that aren’t suitable will be sent back for re-sampling. The qualified ones, President Ming, will review them later. If you approve, we’ll start mass production, and they’ll be available for purchase in a few days.”

Today’s livestream had very high traffic. The business director was anxious, feeling that all the money was slipping through his fingers, wanting to put anything that could be sold on the cart.

Ming Yan nodded in agreement with this plan.

Lu Yu stood up, went over to unfasten Ming Yan’s seatbelt, and casually instructed, “Send an extra sample to my office; I’ll take it to my mother-in-law.”

Ming Yan glared at him: “Are you done?”

Lu Yu bent down and took the opportunity to nuzzle Ming Yan’s face. Before Ming Yan could react, he lifted him out of the game pod: “Look, the effect of the elixir is still here!”

The live feed outside, through the glass, immediately shifted to this scene.

The audience, who had not left the livestream room and were still discussing the previous plot, saw this sudden development and got excited.

[Ahhhh, the plot actually continues outside the livestream!]

[Godly after-sales service, more please, love watching!]

[President Lu is so strong? I thought he was a homebody weakling.]

[Don’t slander our Lu Yu; he’s the top handsome guy in our male channel, and of course he has a good body!]

【Green Pastures: If you’re about to get divorced, don’t take advantage of others!】 

This comment was in color, bold font, and had a nickname, obviously from a VIP viewer who had made a donation.

Seeing that the live feed was recording and Lao Yang was still egging him on, Lu Yu realized he could only carry Ming Yan out.

It wasn’t until they were outside the control room that Lu Yu set Ming Yan down and then stumbled onto him: “Ah, I’ve got a side stitch.”

Ming Yan helplessly held him: “Told you not to show off.”

“This body still needs to be worked on; it’s not quite enough.” Fortunately, it was just a side stitch and not a back strain. Lu Yu adjusted his breathing and recovered in a couple of seconds.

Once his waist didn’t hurt anymore, he noticed he was being embraced by Ming Yan. He immediately felt pleased and clung on: “Ah, I’m injured; I need Yan-ge’s kiss to get up.”

Ming Yan ignored him, but Lu Yu instantly became like a water snake, wrapping around him and clinging like a plaster that wouldn’t come off.

In the corridor, with people coming and going, Ming Yan didn’t have time to deal with him and could only drag this large plaster downstairs to rest in the office.

On the third day of the livestream, the intensity increased, and they had to livestream for another two hours in the afternoon.

The two could only eat quickly and grab a nap to rest and rejuvenate.

Lu Yu found a bottle of safflower oil somewhere and handed it to Ming Yan: “Yan-ge, help me rub my waist. I got a side stitch earlier; I’m afraid I won’t have enough strength this afternoon.”

Ming Yan, just out of his nap clothes and looking lazy and gentle, gave Lu Yu a pitying look, then lifted his chin, signaling him to lie down.

Lu Yu cheered, obediently lifted his shirt, and lay down on the bed.

Ming Yan poured a bit of oil into his palm and applied it to Lu Yu’s lower back.

Gently rubbing and massaging, the hot oil made his palms and Lu Yu’s back feel increasingly warm.

Ming Yan noticed that this guy’s physique had really improved; the excess soft flesh around his waist had disappeared, and it felt firm and elastic, visually tightening by a circle.

Feeling Ming Yan’s hand gradually slow down, Lu Yu turned his head and saw the amazement in Ming Yan’s eyes. He immediately became smug: “Does it feel good?”

Without waiting for Ming Yan to answer, Lu Yu turned over, grabbed the hand that instinctively pulled back, and felt his own abs and the faintly visible six-pack.

Ming Yan felt a bit parched, and his fingertips trembled slightly.

Lu Yu was originally teasing and smiling, but suddenly his expression changed, and he sat up quickly: “Cough, I’m going to the bathroom.”

With that, he rushed to the small bathroom in the rest area, carrying a smell of safflower oil.

When Lu Yu came back from the shower, Ming Yan was already lying on the bed, half asleep. He carefully climbed into bed, leaned over, and asked, “Why are you lying on your stomach? Is your back tired?”

The game pod was always in a semi-reclining position, which put some pressure on the back, so it would definitely be tiring after a long time.

“Mhm,” Ming Yan replied.

“Fair trade; let me give you a massage too,” Lu Yu eagerly said, thinking he should be fine since he had taken care of his own situation.

Strangely, Ming Yan actually agreed.

Lu Yu immediately grinned widely, quickly warmed up his hands, and applied them to Ming Yan’s soft shoulders through his sleepwear.

For a college student who often exercises, Lu Yu knew a bit about massage techniques. He started with the shoulders, then the smooth spine, and down to the waist, carefully avoiding the more sensitive areas.

The soft silk sleepwear outlined the shape of Ming Yan’s long legs, which was tantalizing to look at.

Lu Yu swallowed hard and reached out. Just as he placed his hands, he suddenly felt his nose wet, and something was about to drip out. He hurriedly raised his hand to catch it, and his palm turned bright red.

Ming Yan noticed something was wrong, turned to look at him, and was startled: “Why are you bleeding from your nose?” He got up and handed him two tissues, taking one himself to wipe Lu Yu’s face.

Lu Yu, looking pitiful with his face washed and his nose stuffed with tissues, resembled a dog with frozen snot, looking quite comical.

Ming Yan patted his head: “What’s wrong with you? Are you too tired?”

“No,” Lu Yu sulked, “I took a Waist and Kidney Strengthening Pill and overcompensated.”

Ming Yan’s eyes widened in shock. “Why on earth did you take that?” Though it’s a supplement, it’s still a medicine and shouldn’t be taken indiscriminately.

Lu Yu scratched the bed sheet with his toes, lying down dejectedly and covering his face with a pillow: “I thought Lu Dayu was weak and needed some boost. Who knew that this body wasn’t weak? Just looking at my legs made me… Ah, I’m so embarrassed!”

Seeing the ostrich-like Lu Yu bury his head, Ming Yan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
