Aren't we friends? Why are you rushing at me?

"However, I still have a lot of faith in my subordinates."

"If I were really in trouble, he would definitely step in."

Looking at the nearly finished meal, Lin Shi gave a final summary of the conversation.

Ye Cheng nodded thoughtfully.

If that's the case, then it's not surprising that his subordinates are working so diligently.

The two stood up, and Lin Shi took Ye Cheng's hand again, walking towards his car.

I just took out my car keys, intending to press the unlock button.

But it was stopped by a small hand that suddenly reached out.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Shi looked at Ye Cheng, who was blocking his way, and asked with some confusion.

Ye Cheng gently pulled her hand away from Lin Shi's grasp, pointed to Lin Shi's somewhat tired eyes, and said softly:

"No need to see me off. You've been working non-stop all day, go home and get some rest."

"I'll ride my bike home myself. It's rush hour right now, so I might get home faster than you."

After saying that, she waved her hand dismissively, as if the luxury car in front of Lin Shi was some kind of junk.

Lin Shi was about to retort that it was getting late and he couldn't let her go back by herself.

Ye Cheng's eyes lit up, as if she had suddenly thought of something, and she hurriedly spoke:

"Oh, right, Brother Lin, how about I take you home on my bike again? Maybe it'll be faster than driving."

As Ye Cheng spoke, she took Lin Shi's arm again, her expression somewhat excited.

It's clear that she's seriously considering the feasibility of this idea.

Looking at her excited expression, Lin Shi instantly recalled the "flying close to the ground" last night, and shuddered. He quickly waved his hand to refuse.

After all, he feels at least a little safer when he's driving.

"No! Please don't!"

Ye Cheng watched as Lin Shi shook his head vigorously, and could only nod with some regret.

"Alright then, I'll just have to go home by myself."

After saying that, without waiting for Lin Shi to refute, he suddenly stomped his foot hard.

He darted to a shared bicycle in an instant, scanned the code, unlocked it, pedaled, and drove it—all four actions completed in one smooth motion.

Ye Cheng's figure vanished from Lin Shi's sight in an instant.

Lin Shi watched Ye Cheng's rapid movements, and didn't even have time to say the final "Take care on the road, be careful."

But then I thought, if Ye Cheng were in danger in this city, I should already be buried.

He shook his head, opened the car door, and drove home.

...............................................................

The next day, at seven o'clock in the morning.

Lin Shi was still sealed in bed.

The Yorozuya office has been opened to its owner.

Ye Cheng walked into the office carrying a black shoulder bag and two steamed buns in her hands.

As soon as I opened the door, I noticed that the office seemed a little different than before.

First, there was a refrigerator that had inexplicably appeared behind his desk, filled with all sorts of carbonated drinks and large tubs of iced tea. Next to it was a shelf with various snacks.

A huge television screen is now hanging in what was once an empty corner.

Below the screen were several black and white boxes that Ye Cheng couldn't name.

There was a bunch of boxes that looked like they were for storing CDs, and several things that looked like steering wheels.

In contrast, there was a giant beanbag chair that looked as soft as a cloud, with a dark, unidentified object sunk into it.

"What happened?"

Ye Cheng was filled with doubt.

But before she could do anything, she saw the black, unidentified object begin to slowly wriggle, which startled Ye Cheng so much that she immediately assumed a fighting stance.

The black mass did not react at all and continued to slowly wriggle until she turned her whole body over, revealing a somewhat haggard face.

"Ah~~ It's Little Orange~~~"

The voice was ethereal, like a vengeful spirit that had just crawled out of the ground.

Xia Ye yawned, took off the hood of her sweatshirt, looked at Ye Cheng with some fatigue, and casually said her nickname.

There were dark circles under her eyes.

Ye Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, lowered her raised fist, and slowly walked over.

He then gave one of the two steamed buns he had to Xia Ye.

What are you doing here?

"Didn't you go home?"

"And what are all these?"

Xia Ye didn't stand on ceremony and directly accepted the steamed bun Ye Cheng handed him, saying thank you.

Then quickly stuff it into your mouth and shout:

"Hmm, five ants (delicious)"

Ye Cheng didn't understand what Xia Ye meant, but judging from her tone and expression, she probably meant it was delicious.

He quickly handed over the other steamed bun he was holding.

Natsuno raised his hand in refusal.

She also saw that Ye Cheng had brought two steamed buns.

One serving per person can be called sharing, but if you eat both by yourself, that's called hoarding.

"So, why are you here?"

Ye Cheng continued to ask questions out of curiosity.

The scene before her was indeed quite different from her memory of last night.

Xia Ye had just eaten a steamed bun to replenish his energy. Upon hearing Ye Cheng's reply, he quickly stood up, and the other beanbag chair he was covering fell to the ground.

Natsuno put his hands on his hips, puffed out his chest, and struck Superman's classic pose.

"It's because I see you all work too hard and are always on edge, so I personally funded the creation of a relaxation corner for you to unwind and have fun."

Ye Cheng stared blankly at Xia Ye's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance and nodded.

He didn't feel anything was wrong with it, after all, wanting a corner to slack off was something Lin Shi had told him before.

Lin Shi should be happy that his ideas have inexplicably clashed with Xia Ye's.

Then a second question was asked.

"So, why did you arrive so early?"

Upon hearing this question, Natsuno paused for a moment, then quickly thought it through and decided to praise himself more:

"There are so many things, it's hard to pack them all. I was studying them until very late yesterday, so I decided to stay here."

As she spoke, she pointed to the newly bought toiletries next to her, trying to express how hard she had worked.

The actual situation is:

Natsuno was well aware that his biological clock was somewhat out of sync with China's.

If I couldn't sleep after getting home from the installation yesterday, I'd probably wake up in the afternoon again.

That would mean missing the first glimpse of "Moyujiao" that Lin Shi saw.

That was originally meant to evoke Lin Shigang's excitement upon seeing it; if he missed it, it would all have been for nothing.

So the clever Natsuno came up with a "clever" solution: he asked his employees to buy him a set of toiletries and a new hooded sweatshirt to keep warm, and then he stayed up all night there.

Ye Cheng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

She walked to her workstation, sat down, and took out the "Employee Handbook" to begin her study session for the day.

Natsuno also grabbed her toiletries and rushed into the bathroom, quickly washing up.

She sat back down on the sofa, waiting for Lin Shi to arrive.

As soon as he sat down, he put his hat back on his head.

Natsuno's eyelids started to droop, and his head began to bang wildly.

No.

can not sleep!

Natsuno used his last bit of willpower to persevere.

If she falls asleep, and Lin Shi comes and sees her drooling, her image will be completely ruined.
