Sitting in his office, Cen Chen recalled the sweet lies discovered with his boyfriend after they logged into the game together yesterday. He couldn’t help but blush.
After regaining his composure, he called his assistant, “Investigate if there’s someone in the company named Lu Yingmeng.”
Although his boyfriend didn’t seem to harbor any thoughts about Lu Yingmeng, her behavior during their last offline gathering was rather inappropriate, as if she had feelings. Yesterday, there were also strange comments in the game that he noticed.
It needed to be addressed; it definitely needed to be addressed.
“Yes,” the assistant said, a brow raised in surprise at such a strange request before leaving.
Before long, Cen Chen received the documents passed to him by his assistant, frowning as he tried to recall where he had heard about this woman.
The resume clearly stated that she was just an ordinary newcomer working in the company for six months; there was no interaction between them. Why then did she seem so hostile toward him in the game?
He couldn’t figure it out, but he couldn’t just fire someone without substantial evidence due to his unfounded suspicions.
Cen Chen furrowed his brow, “Find an opportunity to transfer her to the headquarters.”
“Is it for the same position?” The assistant was baffled. What had she done to get promoted?
The same position held different statuses at the headquarters and the branch office, of course.
“No need, she should stay in her designated position.”
“Yes,” the assistant replied, still perplexed by the instructions.
After carefully preparing herself, Lu Yingmeng arrived at the office to receive her transfer letter. “Why?”
She had been doing well at the branch office and was now told she had to leave?
However, all she received was the assistant’s official response of “the company needs you.”

Chapter 53:
The living arrangement between the two has been quite wonderful.
They worked the same hours, shopped for groceries, and cooked together at a nearby supermarket. One would wash the ingredients and cook, while the other washed the dishes. There was no imbalance in chores; everything fit perfectly.
The black, white, and gray decor of Cen Chen’s home gradually became cozier with the addition of warm-colored cushions and green plants after Ye Qiu moved in, taking shape into a home.
Returning to the game, thanks to their relentless efforts, they finally obtained the coveted Xiayuan fashion that Cen Chen had longed for.
【If love lasts long, what does it matter whether it’s day or night? Congratulations to the hero Wan Fengye Chou and the hero Yuan Gu Shanceng for upgrading the silver lock to a golden one and obtaining the Eternal Floating Life Bond, making them the envy of all players in the Jianghu.】
【Shunning the blossoms, only reaching the heart, half due to the path and half to you. The hero Wan Fengye Chou gifted a beautiful half-bond to the hero Yuan Gu Shanceng, saying deeply: I wish to know you, with heaven and earth as witnesses, from the azure heights to the depths of the yellow springs, blowing away the falling plums, cutting the cold mountains, exchanging a fortune for a smile!】
The half bond is the most expensive gift in the heroic Jianghu, valued at 990 gold or 495,000 platinum. Ten gold equals 100 platinum, equivalent to one Huaxia coin in reality. Gold can only be obtained through monetary investment, while platinum can be earned through completing tasks in the game. Completing all tasks in weekly game dungeons might earn about 40,000 platinum; only a wealthy player or a hardcore gamer could afford a half bond. It was clear that Ye Qiu belonged to the former category.
There is a reason behind the high cost. Unlike the regular 6 yuan “Happy Meeting” fireworks, which are only visible to the giver and recipient, the half bond not only has a price several times higher but also includes a system-wide announcement, allowing petals to visually appear in the gaming scenery for all online members.
【I’m too weak: I thought there was a bug in the game until I realized it was just a dog food moment. So it’s all good.】
【I won’t gain weight from having another bite: Some receive flowers in reality, while some in the game. I, however, am different; I see others receiving flowers in both realities!】
【Tsk, tsk, tsk, shoo, shoo, shoo: Forget being envious of others receiving flowers in reality, now I’m envious in the game too!】
【Soso: A half bond costs 100 yuan, and look at how envious you all are. If you really have money, why not send a bit more?】
As everyone questioned why the petals lingered for so long, the game system’s page was flooded with half bonds.
【I won’t gain weight from having another bite: There can’t be someone who doesn’t know the half bond is announced separately, right?】
【Jiang Chen Wang Yin: Am I the only one who remembers the affair between Wan Fengye Chou and the female disciple while they were together?】
【Awakened Dreamer: That’s right, you’re the only one.】
【Road from this night: People are together in real life; what do you need to stir up in the game?】
Lu Yingmeng looked at the screen, feeling a burning pain in her face. She only realized what the transfer notice meant after seeing it; she would likely be transferred because of Cen Chen being there.
The headquarters was different from the branch office. Although her salary appeared higher, it was well known she was only there because of connections. After graduating for a few years and nearly forgetting what she studied, she had been merely a month into her new job and was already facing multiple talks with her supervisor about mistakes. If she made another error, being fired was inevitable; she could not bear the thought of seeing Cen Chen embarrassing himself while suffering through work difficulties. She’s become even more obsessed with the game.
Now, the screen was filled with flower petals, as if mocking her. Cen Chen was doing well; it seemed he didn’t even remember who she was.
In the game, their bond was incredibly close, and in reality, it was even more intense than in the game. Yet, there was one regret for Cen Chen…
Despite living together for so long, their relationship remained purely that of two people sleeping on the same bed, with clothes on.
The life of only consuming soup without meat was hard to endure. Every time he wanted to take a step further, Ye Qiu would always comfort him with a tone implying “Don’t worry, love is about restraint.”
Cen Chen frowned slightly, troubled. He shouldn’t have said such foolish things back then.
Thanks for the chapter!
