Chapter Thirty-Nine: New Game (2/2)

The hamster felt slightly guilty at the fact that he had swapped identities with the mystery designer, which was why he decided to help YL settle the overseas millionaire’s order as the mystery designer.

But that was just an additional motive. The most important goal was to prevent Lin Zhou’s evil plan from prevailing, right?

YL had now won the deal, and Lin Zhou’s face had also been slapped swollen by the defeat. So why did he need to help YL?

The more Xiao Yu thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong. Eventually, he even stopped munching on the walnut as he sat on the table, racking his brains.

KachaKachaKacha –

The camera flashed andsnapped nonstop.

Xiao Yu turned his body away and faced his butt towards Yan Jin.

“Squeakk!” Stop taking photos! One more shot, and I’ll never draw for you again!

Yan Jin handed over another walnut.

Today’s portion of snacks had already been given – Chairman Yan’s motive was as clear as the sky.

Xiao Yu slapped away the walnut with his paw – I’m annoyed, not peeling.

—

On Monday, Yan Jin went to work as usual.

Xiao Yu climbed out of his little nest with sleepy eyes. He closed the cartoon that Yan Jin had put on repeat on his iPad, then logged in to his QQ.

There was no news from Nannan. He was probably still not back from his trip.

Country L was very suitable for couples to visit together for vacation. Xiao Yu hoped that Nannan would be able to find inspiration for a couple ring from that place.

Xiao Yu was struggling very hard. Without the motive to slap Lin Zhou’s face by defeating him, he felt weird for helping his sworn enemy, YL. If his goal was to fulfil the dream of winning the voting selection, then he could just enter the competition under another fake identity.

But, he did not really hate YL anymore at this moment. A-and, he did not really hate Yan Jin… After all, the real culprit was Lin Zhou. Because of his appearance, even the mystery designer had disappeared. If things continued to develop, who knew what could happen in the future? So, it would probably be a better choice to use the mystery designer’s identity to make up for this timeline?

Those thoughts loitered in Xiao Yu’s mind throughout the whole night, making him unable to sleep well.

Eventually, Xiao Yu, who had no idea what to do, logged in to Yan Jin’s QQ.

Yes, Yan Jin’s QQ, that side account named Grey-White SS.

This was not the only time that Xiao Yu had logged in to Yan Jin’s side account. In fact, it was quite interesting to talk about. Yan Jin’s profile picture was originally a cat, then it became a ritual to change it every day, and it would always be Xiao Yu.

Hmm, he had been stalked and photographed every single day.

For example, today it was a picture of a round-shaped hamster hugging a golden walnut, staring adorably into the camera.

Xiao Yu went through the friends list and found Lin Zhou.

After the deal was over, Lin Zhou apologized very sincerely, expressing that he had failed to recognize someone’s great abilities, and had tactfully asked about the origin of the mystery designer.

Yan Jin accepted the apology, but ignored the rest of the content.

Lin Zhou also understood that Yan Jin’s impression of him had already dropped to an all-time low. It would not work if he used his previous method of catching the chairman’s attention, so Lin Zhou thought of a roundabout route, like finding a common interest.

Ding – Your friend has invited you to play a game together. Come on and join in on the fun!

Xiao Yu looked at the new notification and he wasn’t really sure if Lin Zhou was lucky or not.

The notification was muted, which meant that Yan Jin had already blocked Lin Zhou, which also meant that this notification would never be shown, and that Yan Jin would never ever see it again.

Right now, it was he who had logged into Yan Jin’s QQ and just happened to be looking through Yan Jin’s conversation with Lin Zhou, which was why he could receive that notification.

For him of all people, to receive that notification.

Xiao Yu chuckled coldly.

Interesting, truly interesting. The ill-fated relationship between them seemed to be never-ending.

Xiao Yu had played that game before and was very good at it. In his previous life, he was assigned to a group of horrible teammates, which made him uninstall the game out of frustration.

Now that Lin Zhou had mentioned it again, it felt nostalgic.

An idea began to brew in Xiao Yu’s mind and it quickly formed into a plan.

……

[Grey-white SS]: You play this game too?

[Lin Zhou]: Yeah. Chairman Yan plays it too?

[Grey-white SS]: I’m using my other side account to play it. It’s too difficult to level up.

[Lin Zhou]: My level’s quite high, why don’t I open a side account and lead you?

[Grey-white SS]: Then I’m grateful for that. Add my side account XXXXX, this is the account that I use just for gaming purposes. It’s a newly created account, so there aren’t many friends added.

[Lin Zhou]: Alright, added.

[Lin Zhou]: Chairman Yan’s nickname looks interesting. Is there any meaning behind it?

[Grey-white SS]: Literally what it means, Fish and Hamster – you can’t have both.
