Luo Fini felt deeply ashamed of herself; she had actually been defeated by the facade of a good person, Zhu Xue, beneath his tailored trousers.
However, what made her feel even more disgraceful was that she had chosen to bury her head in the sand like an ostrich.
Indeed, ever since that day, she had been avoiding him whenever possible. If avoidance was impossible, she forced herself to act calm and treated Zhu Xue as if he were invisible.
At first, Zhu Xue was very angry. He held her face in his hands, his eyes filled with warning as he sternly said, "Don't provoke me." But later on, perhaps sensing something, he surprisingly let her off the hook and no longer pressed her as he had before.
After returning home, she racked her brain trying to figure out what had gone wrong. Ultimately, she concluded that it might be her evasive gaze and the blush that occasionally crept onto her cheeks that had betrayed her. Now, she was even more unsure of how to face him.
Fortunately, the past few days marked a crucial phase in the development of New Game. Teams were working tirelessly, holding meetings and passionately discussing various issues such as plot and art style. Zhu Xue was also buried in work and had no extra time to pay attention to her.
Meanwhile, insomnia returned with a vengeance. Ever since Luo Fini discovered her feelings, she had been plagued by endless dreams.
In her dreams, the so-called good guy Zhu Xue would sometimes put on a striptease, his solid abs barely concealed; at other times, he would appear in a bath scene, steam swirling around him in an alluring haze; and sometimes he would be drunkenly dancing, his steps unsteady yet exuding a different kind of sensuality that left her heart racing and often woke her up in the middle of the night unable to fall back asleep.
The result was dark circles under her eyes and a vacant stare; during work hours, she often found herself daydreaming like a fish out of water.
That afternoon, Luo Fini could no longer bear it. While her brother and others were in a meeting discussing plans, she stealthily slipped into the manager's lounge to catch some sleep.
She had never understood why her brother liked to spend so much time here; now she finally knew.
It turned out that he had installed top-notch soundproofing in this seemingly ordinary room!
As soon as the door closed, an eerie silence enveloped the room. Even if someone were to come in with a bulldozer to tear the place down, it would hardly disturb her peaceful slumber. The most important thing was that there was no cell signal here, so she didn’t have to worry about any phone calls interrupting her rest.
Luo Fini threw herself onto the bed like a discarded sack, sinking into the soft, cotton-like comforter, and soon drifted off into sweet dreams.
Of course, Zhu Xue, that little troublemaker, didn’t forget to invade her dreams for some mischief. In her dream, he knelt gracefully by the bed, leaned down to kiss her gently, and with a slight smirk on his lips, he teased, “Guai Guai Fu, if you don’t wake up soon, I might just eat you.”
Eat? She wasn’t sure who would be eating whom! Luo Fini decided then and there that she would overpower him. After all, this was just a dream; she could do whatever she wanted without any reservations.
So she reached out and playfully hooked her arm around his neck, pouting as she said, “Go ahead and eat me!” Taking advantage of his raised eyebrows and surprised expression, she suddenly pulled him down onto the bed with all her strength.
In an instant, they were a tangled mess on the bed, with Luo Fini pinning Zhu Xue beneath her. She deliberately squinted her eyes and mischievously caressed his face before grinning wickedly, “I’m going to eat you!” With that, she really leaned down and gently bit his lip.
His lips were soft and smooth like chocolate, a delightful sensation that made her want to devour him even more. She kept reminding herself that it was just a dream; she could enjoy it to the fullest.
But suddenly, she jolted awake. Half-opening her eyes in terror, she realized that she was indeed on top of Zhu Xue and had been nibbling at him.
The bed was a mess around them; somehow her hand had slipped inside his shirt and was now resting on his chest.
The rapid beating of his heart beneath her palm indicated that he was somewhat bewildered by her unexpected advance.
It should have been a moment worth celebrating, but Luo Fini felt anything but happy. She let out a loud scream and fell backward with a thud onto the floor.
Zhu Xue peeked over at her, a slight smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
Luo Fini, lying on the ground, watched as his prominent Adam's apple bobbed up and down. For some reason, she suddenly swallowed hard.
Then, slowly realizing that she was drooling over him like a lecher, she nearly felt so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to hide in.
In a flurry of panic, she scrambled to her feet, rolling and crawling as she flung open the door and dashed toward the elevator, racing toward the parking lot and her beloved car... If she could have dashed off the planet, she would have done so without hesitation.
After what felt like an eternity, her heart finally began to calm down.
Glancing at the time, she saw it was already eight o'clock.
