Yun Shunnian did not try to hide the sound of her footsteps. As she controlled her character, the increasingly rapid footsteps sounded like her heartbeat.
[Mission Successful]
Yun Shunnian's state did not last long. Soon, the words "Mission Successful" appeared on her game interface.
Success?
Yun Shunnian was stunned for a moment, then saw Mu Qi's game character running towards her.
When the game finally ended, the camera focused on Mu Qi's character.
Seeing that Mu Qi was safe, a large stone in Yun Shunnian's heart was finally lifted. She let out a deep breath and leaned back against the sofa.
"Tired?" Mu Qi put down his phone and used the back of his hand to wipe the sweat from Yun Shunnian's forehead.
"Huh? No." Feeling the slight coolness on her forehead, Yun Shunnian finally pulled herself out of the game.
She didn't know what was wrong earlier. It was just a game, yet she had been as nervous as if Mu Qi were in real danger.
Was it because she cared too much? Caring so much that she even paid special attention to virtual characters associated with Mu Qi.
"Mu Qi, how was it? Fun?" Yun Shunnian stretched her arms above her head, placing them on Mu Qi's shoulders.
Mu Qi nodded and subtly steadied Yun Shunnian's waist.
The game itself wasn't particularly fun, but playing with Yun Shunnian made it different.
[OMG, as expected, experience is the best teacher. Grandpa is so cool.]
[There were five people on the other side just now, and Mu Qi was able to quickly determine their positions and ambush them from the rooftop pipes.
They didn't even have time to react before they were headshotted. His movements were perfect, not a single one wasted.]
[Big shot Mu Qi, I've added you, hurry up and accept!]
[Big shot, carry me!! [Rose] [Rose] [Rose]]
Before Yun Shunnian and Mu Qi could enjoy their moment for long, a series of exclamations came from "Little Master" in the game.
Yun Shunnian picked up her phone again.
Looking at the string of exclamations, Yun Shunnian curved her lips, intending to tease the child on the other side.
[Don't be rude! Call me Grandpa.]
[No way, that reaction speed, that smooth operation, how could it be Grandpa?] "Little Master" looked at the message Yun Shunnian sent, his face contorted.
[Hmph, if you don't call me Grandpa, I won't let my husband add you.]
"Little Master" gritted his teeth, his keyboard clicking loudly.
He could feel Yun Shunnian's smugness even through the screen.
[Fine, Grandpa, add me, add me (⊙w⊙)]
Seeing this, Yun Shunnian took Mu Qi's phone and added him.
"Who is he?" Mu Qi looked at Yun Shunnian's happy face, his eyes filled with hidden emotions.
"We met in the game. He's quite funny, so we added each other as friends," Yun Shunnian said, while changing equipment for her game character.
"How long have you known him?" Mu Qi pursed his lips, unable to stop himself from asking.
"Hmm, not very long, just a few days."
"Have you met him?" Mu Qi continued to ask, this time without any hesitation.
"No," Yun Shunnian shook her head.
"Then do you want to meet him?" Mu Qi stared intently at Yun Shunnian, not missing any of her subtle expressions.
"I..." Before Yun Shunnian could finish, she suddenly realized something and turned to look at Mu Qi.
"Mu Qi, are you jealous?" Although it was a question, there was little doubt in Yun Shunnian's eyes.
Mu Qi's throat bobbed. "Yes, I'm jealous."
Yun Shunnian hadn't expected Mu Qi to admit it so readily and was momentarily unsure of what to do.
"Mu Qi, he's just for fun, don't be jealous. I added him for you, so you can find him for amusement when you're bored."
Yun Shunnian quickly put her phone aside, instinctively not wanting to touch anything that made Mu Qi unhappy.
"What? I'm just for fun?!! Mu Mu, you've gone too far! Way too far! Back then, we were unstoppable in the game..."
Mu Qi's lips had just moved slightly when a strange voice suddenly came from Yun Shunnian's phone.
Yun Shunnian jumped and quickly grabbed her phone, finding the microphone icon and muting it.
She assumed she had accidentally clicked to enable voice chat.
Mu Qi's face instantly darkened. "Do you often use voice chat with him?"
Mu Qi took the phone from Yun Shunnian and pinned her against himself.
"No, this is the first time."
Yun Shunnian also wrapped her arms around Mu Qi, kissing his cheek. Then, feeling it wasn't enough, she cupped his face and kissed his lips, more passionately than ever before.
The small flame of unnamed anger burning in Mu Qi's heart was thus extinguished by Yun Shunnian's kiss.
A long time later, Yun Shunnian's lung capacity gave out, and she rested her chin on Mu Qi's shoulder, panting.
"Mu Qi, my in-game name means 'I love you.' There's no need to be angry with someone who's just for fun." Once Yun Shunnian's breathing stabilized, she continued to coax Mu Qi.
"Mhm," Mu Qi patted Yun Shunnian's back, feeling that she was a little unusual.
The "Little Master" on Yun Shunnian's phone was still persistently requesting to voice chat. Yun Shunnian, having appeased Mu Qi, slid off him and rejected "Little Master's" request.
"Mu Qi, do you want to play more?" Yun Shunnian's crescent eyes were half-lit with sparkle, half-dark and mysterious.
She didn't know when Mu Qi would stop loving her, so she wanted to spend as much time with him as possible while he still did.
Bang bang—
Before Mu Qi could agree, there was a knock on the office door.
Mu Qi: "Come in."
Hearing Mu Qi, Assistant Li poked his head out from behind the door, carrying a stack of documents.
...
That evening, Mu Qi had a lot of work. Yun Shunnian figured Mu Qi would go to his study even after returning home, so she decided to stay at the company with him instead of going home.
That night, Yun Shunnian slept as if she were dreaming, feeling somewhat tired. However, when she woke up at noon the next day, she couldn't recall anything.
After finishing the lunch brought by Aunt Ning at noon, Yun Shunnian kissed Mu Qi on the cheek and then went to the yoga studio with her bag.
"Miss, long time no see."
As soon as she entered the yoga studio, Yun Shunnian was led by the receptionist into a room where the yoga teacher was sitting in the center of the floor.
Yun Shunnian looked at the yoga teacher's face and was shocked for a second.
