Me: ???
I fished around in my pocket. When I took out my phone, it was black-screened. I had no idea when it had shut down.
I showed an apologetic look. "My phone is old. Its battery life is quite poor. I worked overtime too late tonight and didn't have time to charge it. Did you need me for something?"
Cheng Yu glanced at my phone. The ice-cold look on his face finally thawed a bit. "Yes."
Me: "What is it?"
Cheng Yu: "I missed you."
Qi Jiayuan, the single dog who was caught off guard and hit by the display of affection: "… Maybe you should just kill me to add some fun to your date?"
Me: "…"
Cheng Yu: "No need."
Then he said to me, "It's too late. I'll take you home."
Qi Jiayuan: "Can you give me a ride too?"
Cheng Yu said maliciously, "Sorry, my Lamborghini only has two seats."
Qi Jiayuan twitched the corner of his mouth. "… Brother Yu, can you not be such a jerk?"
Cheng Yu: "What?"
Qi Jiayuan: "Nothing. I'll just ride my little convertible electric bike back. See you later, you two."
Me: "…"
Suddenly I felt a bit sorry for him.
The next second, Cheng Yu pinched my ear. Me: "Ouch… What are you doing?!"
Cheng Yu: "Did you come here on his bike?"
Me: "Otherwise? It's such a long way. Should I have run five blocks behind his little electric bike?"
Cheng Yu pursed his lips unhappily. "You hugged his waist."
Me: "It's not a motorcycle. Why would I hug?"
Cheng Yu: "You're not allowed to hug even on a motorcycle."
I laughed. "Are you jealous?"
Cheng Yu had become much more honest after being with me for a long time. "Yes."
I said, "It's not necessary. He's my boss. We're just good friends."
Cheng Yu: "The way he looks at you is not right."
Me: !!!!
Yes.
I had the same thought just now.
But this kind of thing was not suitable for in-depth investigation.
Me: "Okay. If he has any improper intentions, I'll call you."
Cheng Yu: "For what?"
I laughed. "To beat him up for me."
Cheng Yu also laughed. "Okay."
-
When we separated downstairs, Cheng Yu leaned in and wanted to kiss me.
I held him back.
I stepped back. "No. My mouth smells like barbecue now…"
Cheng Yu held the back of my head and kissed me. "I don't mind."
After the kiss, I asked him awkwardly, "Does it taste really strong?"
He nodded. "The mutton is a bit gamy."
I burst out laughing.
As for the matter of forgiveness or not that we had talked about before.
It was just a passing laugh.
-
Early the next morning, I received a courier package.
When I opened it, it was the latest iPhone 12 Pro Max!
Damn it.
Cheng Yu sent me a text message: [Remember to answer the phone.]
Me: !!!!
Me: [Okay, daddy!]
-
I'm naturally a carefree person. I don't like to spend time and energy on trivial matters.
But Cheng Yu is much more sensitive than me. Maybe it's his occupational disease, but he's very serious about data.
He even used financial language to statistically analyze my behavior: [This week, your good-night greetings have decreased by 70% compared to last week. Your sweet-talk index has dropped by 98% compared to the pursuit period. The number of missed calls from me has increased by 200% compared to last month. Ms. Zhou, are you very busy recently? What are you busy with?]
What am I busy with?
What do you think a 007 overworked office worker can be busy with?
Of course, I'm busy with work!
Otherwise, should I be busy falling in love?
Will you pay my salary?!!
However, our little jealous guy is very delicate. We can't yell at him easily. We have to coax him gently.
I said: [Recently, "Ghost Summoning 2" was launched, and "Falling into Demonhood" is also in production. I have to pay attention to some outsourced parts. I'm sorry for neglecting you.]
Actually, I was a bit impatient in my heart.
At the beginning of our hot love, we sent "good morning, good afternoon, good night" more frequently than clocking in.
But now that our relationship has stabilized, everything has returned to its original state. I'll just do what I should do. When I'm busy, even the king of heaven has to wait until I finish dealing with important matters.
I know the psychological gap Cheng Yu is feeling.
At first, I wanted to be friends with him and was like a sycophant. Now that we're so familiar with each other, I'm no longer like that. He can't get used to it for a while.
However, our Cheng Yu is a gentleman with great self-cultivation. Even when he's angry, he scolds so politely: [How can you be such a bad woman?]
Oh.
He's so cute.
He can't even swear.
After holding it in for so long, he only came up with this "petulant complaint" with little lethality but extremely high cuteness.
To make him happy, I sent him a photo. [The group photo we took on the sofa last time. I want to set it as my phone screensaver. Do you want it? I'll send it to you.]
Humph.
I love so openly!
Cheng Yu: [Post it on your Moments.]
Me: [No way!]
Ah.
I was too impulsive.
Quickly recall it! Quickly recall it!
Cheng Yu: [I've already seen it.]
Me: […]
Cheng Yu: [Why don't you post it on your Moments?]
Me: [Well, love is a matter between two people. It's not for show. If I post an intimate group photo on a public social platform, my friends will definitely scold me for showing off my love!]
Cheng Yu: [If you don't post it, I will.]
I stopped him. [You're a celebrity. Pay attention to your influence, okay!]
Cheng Yu started scolding politely again. [Zhou Yinyin, you're really completely bad!]
Me: Shit.
He's so cute.
I want to ruffle his hair.

After "Ghost Summoning 2" was launched on STEAM, it set off a wave of the rise of horror games in the gaming industry. Many overseas players were deeply fascinated by the mysterious oriental elements in this game.
This morning, I got up a bit late. I worked overtime until one o'clock in the morning last night. So when I saw my colleagues in the company crying in each other's arms, I had the illusion that I was still dreaming.
Qi Jiayuan hugged me with red eyes. "Zhou Yinyin…"
Just as I was about to avoid suspicion and push him away, I heard him say, "The producer of Resident Evil played our game and sent us a long review! Damn it. I never thought I'd get the approval of my idol in my lifetime! I can die without regret!"
Me: !!!!
I hugged Qi Jiayuan and jumped and shouted like crazy. "Damn it. We're so awesome!!!"
Then, together with a group of little friends, we watched the review of our game by the great god while crying.
Wuwuwu. Our idol is so kind. He not only found the problems I missed during the production but also pointed out the solutions to help us adjust the balance of the game…
This trial-play report is so precious. It's like an honorary flag awarded to every one of us in "Shijia Culture"!
The supreme honor!
Qi Jiayuan posted a long thank-you note on the official Weibo of "Ghost Summoning" and showed off a bit by the way. It was immediately reposted by countless netizens, saving us a large amount of publicity expenses.
I praised him. "Good job. You're becoming more and more like a boss!"
Qi Jiayuan: "Xiao Zhou, you're really my lucky star. Well, I'll treat everyone to a good meal tonight. You choose the place!"
Me: "Then I must choose an expensive one."
Qi Jiayuan was unusually generous this time. He said to all the employees, "If you have family members, bring them along!"
-
I sent a text message to Cheng Yu: [Is Zhou Yinyin's family member there?]
Cheng Yu: [Yes.]
I laughed. [There's a company gathering tonight. Remember to attend on time.]
Cheng Yu: [Where?]
Me: [Qi Jiayuan said that our game got the approval of our idol and that I, the little director, deserve a lot of credit. So he said I can decide where to eat tonight. I haven't decided yet.]
Cheng Yu: [I recommend you go to the Saint Laurent Restaurant.]
Me: [Wow, Brother Yu is so knowledgeable!]
Then we decided to eat at the Saint Laurent.
When everyone entered the restaurant at night, we were all stunned.
I was also stunned.
Damn it. Is this heaven?
Will we become immortals after eating a meal here…
Everyone sat down to order. Qi Jiayuan asked me tremblingly, "Xiao Zhou, how did you think of coming here to eat?"
I didn't know this place was so luxurious. I said a bit embarrassed, "Cheng Yu recommended it."
Qi Jiayuan was on the verge of crying. "He's such a jerk…"
Me: ?
What jerk?
