Going home for the New Year during the winter break, I encountered a cool school girl on the high-sp

Lin Muxi nodded slightly and began to share with great interest:
"Overall, things went smoothly. Although we encountered some minor problems in the early stages, we all worked together and solved them one by one."

The team members are now working together more and more seamlessly, and the business is gradually getting on track. I am full of confidence for the future!

"That's good, I knew you guys could do it!"

Qin Yao's eyes were full of satisfaction and appreciation.

"I haven't been idle here either. I've been keeping an eye on industry trends and learning new concepts and technologies, hoping to contribute to our studio and bring some new ideas when I return to China."

"Wow, that's fantastic!"

Lin Muxi's eyes gleamed with anticipation. "We really need some fresh blood. You must have gained a lot of valuable experience during your time abroad. You must share it with us when you come back."

"No problem! Keep it on me!"

Qin Yao patted her chest and assured him, then her tone shifted slightly, carrying a hint of anticipation.
"I really hope time can pass quickly so I can go back to China sooner and fight alongside you all. Just thinking about it makes me happy."

"I'm looking forward to that day too!"

Lin Muxi's voice was filled with longing, "Take good care of yourself over there, eat on time, and don't overwork yourself. If you encounter any difficulties, be sure to tell me immediately."

"Okay, you too! Don't overwork yourself."

Qin Yao replied, her eyes full of concern, "By the way, how is everyone else in the studio? What are they all busy with?"

Lin Muxi smiled and began to tell Qin Yao about everyone in the studio with great interest: who had recently taken on a big project, who had learned a new skill, and the little things about working overtime and celebrating together.

The two chatted back and forth as if the distance between them never existed, and their longing and concern spread in this warm conversation.

After ending the call with Qin Yao, Lin Muxi sat quietly at her workstation, her eyes somewhat vacant, her paintbrush remaining motionless for a long time.

Lost in thought about Qin Yao, she didn't come back to her senses for a moment until Chen Chen's voice gently rang in her ear:

"Creek?"

That call was like a key, unlocking the door to her thoughts, and she was jolted awake from her reverie.

Lin Muxi raised her head, looked at Chen Chen, and asked softly:

"What's wrong, senior?"

Chen Chen frowned slightly, a hint of worry on his face. He raised his hand and gently touched her forehead, murmuring:

"Hmm, no fever."

Seeing Chen Chen's concerned yet slightly puzzled expression, Lin Muxi couldn't help but chuckle, her eyes still sparkling with amusement, and explained:

"I'm fine, senior. I just had a video call with Yao Yao and we chatted for a while. I miss her a little."

Chen Chen nodded slightly, showing an understanding expression, and withdrew his hand, saying:

"I see. It's inevitable to feel a bit sentimental after video chatting with an old friend. Is everything going well for you, Qin Yao, abroad?"

Lin Muxi sighed softly, a smile still lingering on her lips:

"She's doing well, but sometimes she misses home and us. However, from what she's said, she's also learned a lot of new things over there."

Chen Chen pulled over a chair next to him, sat down gently, and said:
"That's good. When she comes back, let's find some time to get together."

Lin Muxi's eyes lit up, and she said excitedly:
"Great! I really hope that day comes soon. Then we can all be together happily like before."

Seeing the smile on Lin Muxi's face, Chen Chen smiled too: "Definitely. Speaking of which, our studio has just started operating recently, and everyone is extremely busy. Once things settle down a bit, we can finally relax."

Lin Muxi's eyes became more serious as she thought about her work.
"Yes, although it's been hard work, seeing the website running smoothly makes it all worthwhile. There are still many areas that need improvement, and I need to work harder."

As she spoke, she subconsciously tightened her grip on the paintbrush in her hand.

Chen Chen patted her on the shoulder encouragingly:

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Everyone can see your abilities. Besides, we're a team, so we can solve any problems together."

Lin Muxi looked at Chen Chen gratefully:

"Yes, with you here, senior, and with everyone working together, I believe we can definitely make the studio better and better."

After speaking, she took a deep breath, as if gathering her strength, and turned her gaze back to the drawing paper. The brush moved slowly across the paper, outlining delicate lines, as if she were also depicting the blueprint for the future of the studio.

Chen Chen nodded slightly, didn't ask any more questions, turned around and walked to his seat, and slowly sat down.

He reached out and turned on his computer. As soon as the screen lit up, he focused intently on writing.

Time slipped away quietly amidst the tapping of the keyboard, and before we knew it, night had fallen.

The world outside the window was shrouded in darkness, and the city lights gradually came on.

Chen Chen finally snapped out of his creative daze.

He rubbed his slightly sore eyes and subconsciously looked to the side.

Lin Muxi had finished her painting and was now quietly resting on the table.

Her profile looked exceptionally serene under the soft light, with a few strands of hair falling beside her cheek.

During this period, Lin Muxi has been giving her all to her work; she's really working incredibly hard.

Chen Chen's gaze lingered on Lin Muxi for a moment, a pang of heartache rising in his heart.

He quietly got up, afraid of disturbing her, walked to the cabinet next to him, took out a spare light jacket, and gently walked to Lin Muxi's side, covering her with the jacket.

Perhaps it was the slightest movement, or perhaps it was some deep-seated feeling, but Lin Muxi stirred slightly, slowly raising her head to look at Chen Chen with sleepy eyes, her voice languid from just waking up:

"Senior..."

Chen Chen quickly said softly, "It's okay, you can continue sleeping for a while. You look too tired, so I'll get you some clothes so you don't catch a cold."

Lin Muxi's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile, and she said softly:
"Thank you, senior."

After speaking, he gently closed his eyes, his expression relaxed and peaceful.

Chen Chen returned to his seat but did not continue his previous work.

He gazed at the flashing neon lights outside the window, his thoughts drifting away.

During this period, everyone on the team was like a clockwork mechanism, working tirelessly for the development of the studio.

He had seen all of Lin Muxi's efforts; this seemingly delicate girl had an incredibly resilient heart.

Looking back on all the hard work and struggles they've shared during this period, Chen Chen was filled with emotion. (End of Chapter)
