The two of them were sitting on the sofa, and Ruan Jiujiu took out her phone.
“Playing PUBG?” Ruan Jiujiu asked Cheng Jun.
“Chicken stew with mushrooms? Yellow-braised chicken? Or a big plate of chicken?”
Ruan Jiujiu: …Oh, I meant the game.
Cheng Jun stared at her with a deep look in his eyes.
Ever since Bai Long introduced Ruan Jiujiu to gaming, her spare time had been completely dedicated to it. She spent almost all her free time playing games, leaving Cheng Jun aside. Not to mention cuddling or hugging, she rarely even spared him an extra glance. She had transformed into a gaming addict.
Cheng Jun was not just unhappy; he was extremely, extremely unhappy. However, Ruan Jiujiu didn’t seem to notice.
During work hours, Tu Nan noticed that Cheng Jun was always staring blankly at his computer screen.
One time, by chance, Tu Nan happened to see Cheng Jun’s computer screen displaying the names of all the games the company had created since its establishment. Tu Nan was stunned and couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, what are you doing?”
Cheng Jun clasped his hands together and stared at the computer screen without much expression on his face.
“Considering a company transformation.”
???
Ruan Jiujiu, secretly referred to as the “yellow weasel,” not only remained completely oblivious but also arranged her entire Friday night for gaming. She had already agreed on a time with Bai Long. After dinner at home, while Cheng Jun was washing dishes, she hopped onto the bed, propped up her soft pillow, and opened the game.
Cheng Jun quietly approached her from behind. Ruan Jiujiu was completely engrossed in the game, blinking her eyes, and wearing a tense expression.
She had her headphones on, and while Bai Long was accidentally killed by someone, Wei Tian wanted to seek revenge, and Ruan Jiujiu was wandering around with them. She was fully immersed in the game, completely unaware of Cheng Jun’s approach. Just then, a gunshot rang out, and Ruan Jiujiu quickly covered her head and crouched down.
Wei Tian cursed, “Damn, I got killed!”
Ruan Jiujiu: “Ah??”
Wei Tian: “Jiujiu, it’s all up to you! Even if you can’t take out others, just engage with them in the circle. Maybe we can pull off a surprise victory.”
It was the first time they had entrusted their hopes to Ruan Jiujiu, and she was extremely nervous. Her fingers cautiously slid across the phone screen, waiting for the next circle to shrink. Ruan Jiujiu controlled her in-game character, sneaking around near cover, patiently waiting.
Before the circle could shrink further, there was a sudden loud bang, and Ruan Jiujiu was startled. Without finding the opponent, she started to panic.
“Help!”
Unfortunately, both Bai Long and Wei Tian, who could have saved her, were already out of the game, chattering and directing Ruan Jiujiu, causing chaos on the scene.
Ruan Jiujiu was huddled on the bed, already busy to the point of being flustered when she heard Cheng Jun’s slow and deliberate voice from behind, “Do you want me to help you?”
She paused for a moment, suddenly remembering that there was a super pro gamer at home.
Ruan Jiujiu’s eyes lit up, and she nodded quickly, like a chick pecking at grains.
Cheng Jun: “After this game, take a break.”
Ruan Jiujiu: “Okay…”
“Then go ahead and play by yourself,” Cheng Jun said.
The situation was urgent, and Ruan Jiujiu probably only had a few more seconds before she would be discovered, and it would be game over for her.
There was another loud bang, which didn’t hit Ruan Jiujiu but made her shake with fright. She quickly agreed to Cheng Jun’s request and handed him the phone, saying, “Hurry, hurry!”
Cheng Jun took the phone and was fully immersed in the game within seconds.
His expression seemed somewhat careless and nonchalant, but his fingers moved swiftly. Ruan Jiujiu leaned in, and before she could even identify who had shot at her, Cheng Jun suddenly spotted the target and took them down with a single shot.
Bai Long and Wei Tian, who were spectating, were both stunned. “Jiujiu, are you using cheats?… Wait, is there a pro gamer next to you?”
Ruan Jiujiu: “Uh, yeah.”
Bai Long and Wei Tian instantly regained their composure and started cheering for Cheng Jun.
“Come on, pro gamer!”
“Pro gamer, help us get revenge!”
This scene made Ruan Jiujiu involuntarily recall the time when they played “Like a Dream.” She glanced at Cheng Jun, whose profile was quite attractive with a straight nose and a sharp jawline, giving him a delicate youthful appearance that didn’t resemble a CEO of a company at all.
If you were to say that he looked like a high school student sneaking out of an internet cafe, it wouldn’t seem out of place at all.
Cheng Jun calmly controlled his in-game character, with gunshots ringing out one after another. Ruan Jiujiu watched in amazement as he made it to the finals and, in the end, secured a chicken dinner.
A gleam of admiration and adoration sparkled in Ruan Jiujiu’s eyes as she looked at Cheng Jun. It was as if a fan was gazing at their idol with full admiration.
“He’s so cool!”
The complimented Cheng Jun didn’t show any signs of happiness. He handed the phone to Ruan Jiujiu and said, “Keep your promise.”
Ruan Jiujiu approached him, trying to be charming, and said, “Let’s play together, okay? Just for half an hour?”
Cheng Jun replied, “No.”
“Just for half an hour, okay? Junjun~ Junbaby~ Big brother Jun~” Fortunately, Ruan Jiujiu promptly turned off the voice chat. Her pleading became increasingly coquettish, and Cheng Jun turned his head to look at her.
“Are you crazy?” Just for a game?
Ruan Jiujiu: “…”
She muttered, “Then let me play one more round at least. I should at least explain it to Bai Long and the others.”
She clicked to enter the game and stole a glance at Cheng Jun. As expected, Cheng Jun had an unhappy expression on his face.
Ruan Jiujiu whispered, “I’ll make it up to you next time. You can tell me whatever you want to eat.”
Cheng Jun asked, “Anything I want to eat?”
“Of course, difficult dishes like a full-course Chinese banquet are not included!”
Cheng Jun made a thoughtful sound.
While Ruan Jiujiu was fully focused on finding a landing spot in the game, he suddenly approached her, wrapping his arms around her waist from behind. Ruan Jiujiu hadn’t had time to react, and he asked softly, “Can I eat you?”
Ruan Jiujiu: “Uh… no…”
Her words were swallowed up between his lips.
Bai Long and Wei Tian were a bit puzzled. Why did Ruan Jiujiu suddenly go silent while playing? Did she disconnect? Where did she go?
They repeatedly asked her several times but couldn’t get a response from Ruan Jiujiu.
The phone was thrown onto the bed, and Ruan Jiujiu was passionately kissed, losing track of where she was. Unconsciously, her thin clothing was undone, revealing her fair skin, and he moved in, leaving faint red marks.
Ruan Jiujiu blushed and her heart raced. She couldn’t help but make soft moans. She grabbed the back of Cheng Jun’s clothes, calling his name, “Cheng Jun…”
Cheng Jun, with a husky voice, raised his tone, “Yes?”
Ruan Jiujiu’s clothing was in disarray, almost halfway stripped, causing Cheng Jun to become increasingly breathless. His hand rested on her soft abdomen, gently caressing, causing Ruan Jiujiu to shiver. Her fingers involuntarily tightened on Cheng Jun’s clothing as she gasped, “I… I’m on my period…”
Cheng Jun: “…”
It was like a sudden shock, like a blast of cold water in the face. The intense heat and passion that had just been burning was instantly extinguished by more than half.
Ruan Jiujiu’s face turned crimson. “So…”
She lay on the bed, her body exposed to him without any defenses. Her cheeks were rosy, her flawless skin was as white as snow, her eyes were filled with a glistening tearful light, and her lips were slightly swollen from the kisses, making her look incredibly seductive.
Cheng Jun propped himself up on the edge of the bed, bowing his head and remaining silent.
Then, he stood up and abruptly closed the bathroom door in Ruan Jiujiu’s gaze. Accompanied by the sound of running water, Ruan Jiujiu knew that Cheng Jun had definitely gone to take a cold shower.
“…”
She truly felt sorry for Cheng Jun.
Ruan Jiujiu cleared her throat.
That evening, although there was no physical intimacy, Cheng Jun received compensation in other ways. Ruan Jiujiu curled up in his bed, sharing the same blanket with him… to play a game.
The most painful thing in the world isn’t going hungry.
It’s when what you desire is right there, completely defenseless, with no resistance, and yet, you can’t have it.
Cheng Jun stared at the ceiling, letting out a sigh.
Today’s note would also go down as a day for the yellow weasel.
Ruan Jiujiu played for a while and then suddenly turned her head. “Oh, there’s something I forgot to tell you.”
Cheng Jun: ???
“Tu Nan said we’re going to the amusement park for a double date with them. We’ll set off tomorrow morning and meet them at the amusement park.”
Cheng Jun didn’t respond but just looked at Ruan Jiujiu. His gaze clearly conveyed, “Why should I go on a double date with Tu Nan?”
Ruan Jiujiu: “…It’s fine, they can do their thing, and we’ll do ours. Let’s just consider it a date together.”
A date?
Cheng Jun thought, that word sounded pretty good.
A subtle curve appeared at the corner of his lips, and he listened as Ruan Jiujiu continued, “Tianan also wants to showcase his heroic spirit with thrilling rides. Don’t worry, I’ll protect you when the time comes.”
Cheng Jun: …
After some thought, Ruan Jiujiu added, “I’ll allow you to cuddle into my arms.”
Cheng Jun: …
Author’s note: Ruan Jiujiu pats her chest and says, “I’m quite boyfriend-material in this regard!”
Cheng Jun’s deathly glare: …
