My game, Orange Flavor, is great!

"Hello, is this Lin Yu? What do you want?" Lu Zhao was a little surprised when she saw the name on the caller ID. In her memory, this person had never contacted her before.

Lin Yu on the other end of the phone seemed hesitant, pausing for a moment before speaking: "Xiao Ruo will be registering today, could you help her out?"

Lu Zhao was stunned for a moment, her inner joy rapidly expanding until it made her breathing quicken.

"Really?" She held her phone, her voice rising several octaves. "She's going to register for the Spirit Clan?"

That's great! In the game, the female protagonist decides to register with the Spirit Management Bureau. Later, she is identified as a high-level spirit of rank A, which is why she is recommended to enter the Spirit Management Bureau as an intern!

The female lead decided on her route in less than a day?!

Lin Yu was a little confused as to why she was so happy, but he simply instructed her, "I have an important weapon to test today. Take good care of her, and send her back after she successfully registers."

"Don't worry, don't worry!" Lu Zhao replied happily, "I will definitely take good care of her!"

After giving a few more instructions, the person on the other end hung up the phone.

She was left standing there, grinning foolishly.

"Ah Zhao!" Xia Zhifei waved to her from inside a car. "Hurry up, you're going to be late for work!"

"Oh, okay!" she replied hastily, running over excitedly.

However, because she was too excited at the moment, she momentarily ignored a text message that had been sent ten minutes earlier and was lying on her phone.

"The person we arranged to meet will arrive today. Please take good care of him, Captain Lu."

The contact person listed above is Li Manqiu.

The first chapter is about love at first sight!

Xia Zhifei felt that his childhood sweetheart was becoming more and more unpredictable. Just now, she received a phone call and was so happy that her tail was practically wagging in the air.

There's definitely something fishy going on.

She glanced at Lu Zhao, who was still humming a tune happily in the driver's seat, and leaned closer with a gossipy look on her face. "Zhao, what's making you so happy?"

Lu Zhao and she exchanged a glance, his smile practically reaching his ears, barely concealing his expression. "It's okay, can't I even have a moment of happiness?"

“Being happy is fine—” Xia Zhifei changed the subject, smiling meaningfully, “But, looking at your expression, why do you look like you’re about to see your sweetheart?”

"Pfft! Cough cough...cough!" Lu Zhao was so shocked by her shocking words that he choked on his saliva several times. Fortunately, they were already in the suburbs and there were no cars around, otherwise there would have been a traffic accident.

"Isn't that right?" Xia Zhifei asked repeatedly while patting her back.

She glanced at the other person helplessly and shoved the young lady's hand away: "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't have anyone I like!"

Xia Zhifei looked completely innocent: "They look so alike!"

"No way!"

The two had been bickering for quite a while on the way, but as the car slowly came to a stop near the abandoned factory, Lu Zhao finally stopped talking. "Alright, alright, you go ahead and get on. I'll wait for someone here."

"Someone is actually coming?" Xia Zhifei was stunned for a moment. She had just said it casually to tease her childhood sweetheart, but how did it come true?

Lu Zhao couldn't help but roll his eyes at her, "With such a rich imagination, it's a real shame you're not writing novels! I just had a friend ask me to show them the way to register!"

"What friend? Male or female? Is he good-looking?" Xia Zhifei's eyes lit up, and he pounced on her like a paparazzi who had caught some big news, bombarding her with three deadly questions.

Lu Zhao was speechless. He simply pulled the person inside and shoved her into the elevator. Only then did the strange gossip over her head disappear.

Honestly, she's a rich girl, how can she be so gossipy?

Who else could she possibly like?

With Wenruo's petite frame, she wasn't her type.

At the very least, one should look slim in clothes, but when undressed... cough! What are you thinking in broad daylight!

She gently patted her face, glanced at the time, and saw it was only 8:30. With half an hour to go before work, she decided to sit idly in the living room and wait.

It wasn't until after playing two rounds of the rhythm game that I heard an electronic female voice coming from the doorway.

Are they here?

She quickly looked up and saw a young woman dressed casually and wearing a baseball cap walk in. Because the hat was covering her face, she couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, but she could tell that the woman's casual hoodie seemed a bit too big and looked loose on her.

Aside from being excessively thin, there were no other distinguishing features.

Hmm... at most, it was the pair of faded sneakers on the other person's feet that gave her a sense of déjà vu.

Is this someone the original owner had met somewhere before?

Somewhat puzzled, she got up to greet her. Before she could even speak, the thin and frail-looking girl turned to look at her.

The moment his eyes met those eyes, Lu Zhao felt his brain go blank.

Those were incredibly beautiful eyes, more beautiful than any she had ever seen before. They were both profoundly deep and dazzlingly bright, as if they contained stars, captivating anyone who looked at them.

The owner of those eyes tilted his head in confusion, blinking rapidly, seemingly bewildered by Lu Zhao's approaching yet rude staring at him without saying a word.

After a long pause, she slowly extended a thin, bony hand, her voice bright and clear, "Hello?"

Lu Zhao reached out in a daze, only snapping back to reality the moment he touched the other person's almost icy fingers. He suppressed the urge to linger and only touched the other person briefly before quickly withdrawing his hand.

A surge of heat rushed to her heart. In the quiet hall, Lu Zhao could hear the increasingly violent pounding of her heart, one beat after another, as if mocking her current weakness.

The girl in front of her still looked at her with confusion. "Miss, do you have a fever?"

fever?

She felt like her whole body was on fire!

Lu Zhao subconsciously touched his face, which had become unbearably hot without him noticing. He stood there stiffly, speechless for a long time.

Has the high fever from yesterday not completely subsided yet?

She looked up hesitantly, meeting those eyes that shone like stars once more. Her heart surged with emotion, and she subconsciously took a few steps back.

"Are you OK?"

The other person was somewhat startled and stepped forward with concern to help her up, but Lu Zhao waved her away, saying, "I'm... I'm fine!"

His voice trembled; it was clear he was putting on a brave face.

The girl stopped what she was doing, noticing the resistance in Lu Zhao's tone. She pursed her lips slightly, took two steps back, and bowed respectfully to her, saying, "I'm sorry."

This...this isn't your fault!

Lu Zhao opened his mouth, his lips moving several times before he belatedly realized that he seemed to be unable to speak.

It must be because the high fever from yesterday hasn't completely subsided!

She shifted the blame to the fever, hurriedly avoiding the other person's eyes, coughing forcefully to make sure her voice was still there, before explaining in a serious tone, "I still have a bit of a persistent high fever, it has nothing to do with you."

No sooner had they finished speaking than a familiar voice came from behind them: "High fever that won't go down? You got a fever after you got caught in the rain yesterday?"

Lin Yu walked in from outside with Wen Ruo, and frowned as soon as he heard her words.

Lu Zhao's heart skipped a beat. He quickly stepped past the girl in front of him and went to greet them, his tone containing a hint of complaint, "Why are you taking so long to arrive?"

If she had come sooner, she wouldn't have embarrassed herself in front of strangers.

"I'm sorry," the little angel Wenruo bowed to her apologetically, "I was a little late leaving home. I hope I didn't take up too much of your time, Sister Lu?"

She quickly put on a smile and said to the female lead, "It's okay, I was talking about Lin Yu, it has nothing to do with you."

Lin Yu, who was caught in the crossfire: ? ? ?

She clearly arrived right before work started, okay?

Noticing the unfamiliar woman behind her, Lin Yu reached out and pulled Lu Zhao closer, asking in a low voice, "Who is this?"

"Ah... I don't know either. She must be looking for other employees, right?" Lu Zhao didn't dare to look back at the girl again and only gave a vague explanation.

Chapter Two: Deliberate Avoidance

"...They must be looking for other employees."

Hearing Lu Zhao's extremely guilty tone, the girl pulled down the brim of her hat, and a slight smile appeared on her lips where the shadows were hidden.

Lin Yu seemed to notice her movement and turned to look at her suspiciously, but all he saw was her head hanging down, without making any movement.

"Sister Lu, do you have a fever?" Little angel Wenruo hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to touch Lu Zhao's forehead.

For some reason, Lu Zhao felt like there was a gaze watching him from behind, and he lost all interest in praising the little angel. He quickly took a half step back to avoid her hand: "It's nothing, I just got caught in the rain. I'll be fine after taking some medicine."

Wenruo was taken aback, her finger hovering in the air for half a second before she casually took it down and smiled gently at Lu Zhao, "Then remember to take your medicine."

"Hmph!" Lin Yu snorted. "If this girl knew to take her medicine obediently, Minister Liu downstairs wouldn't have to throw her out every time, would he?"

Ah this...

The anecdotes about this matter have already spread to other departments.

Lu Zhao was embarrassed and waved his hand helplessly: "Alright, alright, I'll take the medicine, so you don't need to worry about it."

As he spoke, he gently patted Wenruo's head reassuringly and asked with concern, "How do you feel after awakening? Is there anything uncomfortable about your body?"

Wenruo obediently shook her head: "I had a fever before, but I'm much better now. However, I don't seem to have changed much, and I don't know what my abilities are."

That's easy, just pick up a book and memorize the words.

I remember it was mentioned in the setting that when the female protagonist first awakened, she could already memorize an entire dictionary in less than ten minutes.

This speed will become faster and faster as she uses it more frequently. In the later stages, a dictionary will probably only take her less than 30 seconds to read.

It's definitely a humanoid computer.

"Alright, I have to go to the experiment now. When the logistics department staff arrives later, remember to take her to register." Lin Yu whispered a reminder to her, then nodded to Wen Ruo before turning to leave.

It wasn't until recently that Lu Zhao learned that the logistics department also handled tedious and trivial matters such as registration.

She responded with a sound of agreement, but quickly looked away when she caught a glimpse of the girl beside her. Seeing that they were both tacitly ignoring her, the girl didn't say anything, but silently took a step back, making herself invisible.

"Sister Lu?" Wenruo was a little confused about their current situation and tugged at her sleeve for no apparent reason.

Lu Zhao quickly led the group inside, chuckling as he went, "This must be your first time here, right? Come on, let me show you around. There's a little garden here..."

As the footsteps of the two men faded into the distance, the girl slightly raised the brim of her hat, her eyes gleaming with a strange light as she looked at Lu Zhao's retreating figure.

“…Miss Si?” A cold voice sounded from behind her.

The girl turned around and met Li Manqiu's face. The smile that had just bloomed on her lips quickly disappeared. "You must be Miss Li? I'm Si Ling."
