I'll also work hard to conquer the dungeon today.

Chapter 588, Part 2.1: A Joke
the next day.

Mu Yegui pushed open the door to the conference room with a bottle of strawberry milk and saw Shui Qi slumped in a chair in an extremely decadent manner. In front of her was a cup of steaming cocoa and a stack of beef sandwiches, but the sandwiches were untouched and still intact.

His dark, tousled hair was neatly styled, and his stubble was shaved clean, revealing his handsome face, though he looked slightly dejected at the moment.

"Sigh," Mu Yegui heard Shui Qi sigh as she passed by. She turned her head and saw Shui Qi, who remained motionless in the same posture.

A few seconds later she heard another sigh.

"Shui Qi, did you lose a fight yesterday?" Mu Yegui tilted his head, looked at Shui Qi curiously, and asked.

"Sigh... I feel hopeless and surrounded by darkness..." Shui Qi murmured, staring blankly at the incredibly luxurious chandelier on the ceiling.

There were few people in the meeting room at this time, only Shui Qi and Mu Yegui. It was 7:00 a.m., an hour before the meeting was scheduled to start. Everyone else was still in their rooms.

Mu Yegui abandoned his idea of ​​sitting down and instead walked to Shui Qi's side, picking up his hot cocoa without hesitation.

"My hot cocoa!" Shui Qi suddenly sat up, trying to snatch back her hot cocoa, but unfortunately, it had already been sipped.

Shui Qi looked like her heart had been eaten, her narrow blue eyes fixed on the mug in Mu Yegui's hand.

Shui Qi: "..." He was so stupid. He knew all along that these people wanted to steal his hot cocoa, so why didn't he drink it first!

"I've finished drinking." Mu Yegui put down the empty mug in front of Shui Qi and said slowly.

Shui Qi looked at Mu Yegui with disbelief, then at the empty mug in front of him. He moved his thin lips, but ultimately said nothing.

Humility... Don't ask anymore. There's nothing but humility left. Who dares to lose their temper with Mu Yegui?! He can't beat him!! He doesn't want to lose a second time!!!

"I'll give you my strawberry milk." Mu Yegui thought for a moment, then mercifully stuffed his unopened bottle of strawberry milk into Shui Qi's hand, intending to exchange one for the other.

Who wants strawberry milk?! Shui Qi thought to herself, but forced a smile and silently opened the lid of the strawberry milk, then downed it in one gulp as if it were a death sentence.

"My heart aches so much, hiccup! This doesn't make sense! Why did I lose to Bertias, who looks so weak and could be pushed over with a single push? No matter how you look at it, I should have won. Or are you guys who look so weak all maxed out in terms of fighting ability?" Shui Qi's narrow blue eyes held a hint of accusation, and her tone was tinged with grievance.

Mu Yegui frowned slightly, took a few steps back to avoid Shui Qi's actions, and said in a soft, sweet voice with a hint of seriousness, "It's impossible to get drunk from drinking milk, Shui Qi, don't try to scam me."

Shui Qi paused, then pouted, ignoring Mu Yegui's words, shifted her body, hugged the back of the chair, and looked at Mu Yegui pitifully with her long, narrow blue eyes.

Mu Yegui: "..." He only dared to do this because there was no one in the conference room right now.

"Someone's coming," Mu Yegui said, alerting her after hearing a faint sound.

Shui Qi's expression changed instantly, and he regained his usual serious demeanor in a second, with a faint smile on his lips. He casually tidied the stray hairs on his forehead, turned around and sat back down in his chair.

After all this was done, the door was slowly pushed open.

Bertias walked in with a piece of bread in his mouth and a glass of ale in his other hand, saying as he ate, "Water... uh... I hope it won't be a... uh... uh..."

Seemingly annoyed that he couldn't speak clearly, he rolled up the piece of bread, stuffed it in, and swallowed it, repeating, "Shui Qi, you didn't sleep all night, did you?"

He paused and then said, "You're already resorting to cheating after just one loss? You're still a kid, Shui Qi." His tone was somewhat teasing, but you could also tell that Bertias was in a good mood, at least better than usual.

"Mind your own business," Shui Qi said, turning her head away and resting her chin on her hand. Beltias glanced at the empty bottle of strawberry milk in front of Shui Qi and chuckled, "Drinking strawberry milk like a child, how childish!"

“This belongs to Mu Yegui,” Shui Qi said, glancing at Bertia with a quiet look.

“I can drink fish flavor too.” Mu Yegui looked at Bertias and said in a soft, sweet voice with a serious expression.

Bertias: "..." What does fish taste like? Fish juice? You could have just said you wanted to eat it, you stingy person.

"I hold grudges, I'm stingy, I just want to eat the little mermaid." Mu Yegui stretched out his hand and ran towards Bertias, saying as he ran.

Bertias took a few steps back, running around the conference room as she said, "I was wrong, forgive me, I was talking about Shui Qi."

"What does this have to do with me?" Shui Qi frowned and retorted.

There was a light knock on the door. Dao Lin leaned against the door, sipping his milk tea and watching their antics with interest. He said, "Are you two in such high spirits to be fooling around so early in the morning?"

"Daolin! Mu Yegui wants to eat me!" Bertias shouted at Daolin, trying to drag him into the mess.

With a hint of a smile in his icy blue eyes, Daolin said 'coldly and ruthlessly,' "Oh, that's good. Seafood will be eaten one day anyway, it's just a matter of time."

Bertias: "..." I've lost love. Let's die together.

Dao Lin looked at him for a long time before finally taking pity on him and saying, "I passed by Ling Tong's room, and he asked me to bring you some breakfast. Ye Gui, do you still want some?"

"Yes." Mu Yegui stopped and said without hesitation.

Dao Lin raised his hand and held out the paper bag, gesturing for Mu Ye Gui to come and take it himself.

Mu Yegui walked over and took the paper bag, then obediently returned to his seat and began to eat.

"I was going to remind you to close the door when you're fooling around, otherwise it might disturb others, but since the room is very soundproof, and all you can hear is the hallway, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Dao Lin finished the rest of the milk tea in one gulp, walked over to Shui Qi and took away the empty mug and strawberry milk bottle.

Finally, he glanced at Shui Qi with surprise and said disdainfully, "You even steal Ye Gui's strawberry milk. Shameless."

Shui Qi: "???" He didn't snatch it! Mu Yegui was the one who grabbed the hot cocoa first, and the strawberry milk was also given to him by Mu Yegui!!
"I took the cup to wash it. Beibei, do you still want that wine glass?" Daolin looked up at Bertias and asked.

Bei, Beibei? When did these two people start addressing each other differently?

Bertias paused for a moment, gave Dao Lin a complicated look, handed him the cup, and said, "Although I said before that you could call me Beibei, I've thought about it now and I think it's better not to. Beibei sounds like a dog's name..."

I deeply regret my impulsive words back then.

Shui Qi: I was drunk, I was faking it.

Mu Yegui: I've never heard of getting drunk from drinking milk.

Cherish every heartwarming moment, for they are all fleeting.
