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

Aside from Liu Ruyan's screen-shattering text roar, Xia Ye's chat interface usually contained messages based on the time this big sister should wake up.

In contrast to the constant stream of messages popping up in her message bar, the chat between Su Ningshuang and Shen Zhixiao was eerily quiet.

Su Ningshuang even liked Xia Ye's post on her WeChat Moments.

She has just finished negotiations regarding a top Kyoto celebrity and a permanent endorsement deal for her company.

He's currently sitting in the lounge, staring blankly at his phone.

She casually opened her WeChat Moments, and the first thing she saw was the post that Xia Ye had sent to the three of them.

Su Ningshuang immediately recognized that the photo was taken in the Yorozuya office, so she didn't have any other thoughts.

I just felt that Natsuno was like a cute little kid who took a picture and used it to provoke others.

Su Ningshuang then continued to observe.

I noticed the black rubber band on Lin Shi's wrist.

Although it matched his black suit somewhat, it stood out a bit for a CEO like them who nitpicked over every word and detail.

Moreover, she didn't understand what a hair tie meant for a boy wearing on his wrist.

"Your hair has grown?"

She analyzed it silently in her mind.

Is it because Lin Shi has been too busy with work lately to get a haircut, and his bangs are covering his eyes, so he needs a hair tie to tie them up?

Su Ningshuang did not dwell on it any longer.

She spread her two fingers and skillfully zoomed in on the image.

Until only Lin Shi's sleeping profile remained on the screen.

Sunlight falls on my eyelashes; life is peaceful and serene.

Su Ningshuang's gaze was fixed on Lin Shi's profile, and the frost in her eyes seemed to melt for a moment.

A few seconds passed.

Long press to save to album, then turn off your phone.

Li Wei also knocked on the door at an appropriate time:

"Mr. Su, the other party has already booked the hotel, and the car is downstairs."

Su Ningshuang looked at Li Wei and nodded.

She wasn't in a bad mood after seeing Lin Shi's photo.

"Let's go."

In contrast to the harmonious relationship between Su Ningshuang and her secretary Li Wei.

Shen Zhixiao's office, however, was filled with a somewhat frighteningly oppressive atmosphere.

The secretary and private therapist stood in front of the desk, barely daring to breathe, afraid that their loud breathing would trigger their suppressed emotions.

However, Shen Zhixiao remained surprisingly calm.

I just quietly looked at my phone.

She didn't go crazy, didn't smash things, and there wasn't even a trace of ferocity on her delicate face.

One second... two seconds... until the phone went dark due to prolonged inactivity.

Shen Zhixiao slowly shifted his gaze from the now-off phone screen.

He turned his head and looked at his secretary, who was covered in cold sweat.

The voice was soft, yet it carried a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

"How long will it take to fix the basement?"

The secretary trembled, her mind sluggish under the pressure of fear, and stammered as she reported to her supervisor:

"Mr. Shen... Mr. Shen..."

"That project is in the western suburbs, a rather remote location..."

"Furthermore, as per your requirements, a full-coverage soundproofing layer, an escape-prevention security system, and an independent life support system must be installed..."

"knock......."

A soft sound.

Shen Zhixiao bent his finger and tapped the table lightly.

The sound wasn't loud, but it instantly silenced the secretary.

"how long."

Shen Zhixiao looked at her and continued to ask softly.

The secretary swallowed hard, raised a finger, and tentatively said:

"According to the normal procedure... it should take another week."

Shen Zhixiao remained silent.

He simply took a deep breath and continued to tap his fingers lightly on the table.

A death countdown has begun.

"Da...da...da..."

"Two days."

Half an hour passed.

Shen Zhixiao spoke again, slowly uttering two words.

"the day after tomorrow."

"I need a report stating that the basement is safe to move into, is that alright?"

Shen Zhixiao spoke in a calm tone, as if he were talking about something trivial like eating and drinking.

No, no.

The secretary quickly spoke up, then took the opportunity to escape the room.

Seeing this, the psychologist wanted to say something more to prevent Shen Zhixiao from doing anything unreasonable in a moment of impulsiveness.

Just took a step forward.

Shen Zhixiao slowly turned his head, slightly raised his eyes, and quietly looked at her.

There was no emotion whatsoever, only pure, deathly coldness.

The psychologist's throat felt like it was sealed with cement, and he swallowed back the rest of his words.

She lowered her head and ultimately remained silent.

And the Yorozuya............

It's time for work.

Lin Shi and Ye Cheng had woken up from their nap and returned to their respective work posts.

The office was filled with the sounds of keyboards being typed, pages turning, and occasional conversations.

however.

None of this commotion disturbed the "sleepyhead" in the corner.

Natsuno remained in that difficult, contorted sleeping position, nestled in the beanbag chair.

With drool hanging from the corners of his mouth and the occasional smacking of his lips, he was clearly still lost in a sweet dream.

In her dream, she still beat them to the punch and became the winner in life, successfully winning Lin Shi over.

And helped Lin Shi successfully escape the pursuit.

Liu Ruyan was so angry she jumped up and down, and Shen Zhixiao was so angry he stomped his feet.

"hey-hey......"

Natsuno let out two grotesque laughs.

Just then.

"Bang!!!"

The office door was kicked open.

Followed by.

A scream powerful enough to pierce eardrums, like a demonic sound, instantly exploded in Xia Ye's ears:

"Natsuno!!!!!"

That shout had an extremely strong penetrating power.

Not only did it draw the attention of Lin Shi and Ye Cheng, but it also drew their gazes to the newcomer.

And it also instantly woke Natsuno from his dream.

Before you could even react, your body made a completely ergonomic "sprawling" motion on the beanbag chair.

Then, because he lost his balance, his head slammed towards the screen.

Fortunately, Ye Cheng reacted quickly and caught her instantly.

Natsuno had not yet fully woken up from her sleep.

While tightly hugging Ye Cheng to steady herself, she shouted quickly:

"Who! What's going on here?"

"Lin Shi, run! I'll cover you!"
