    The next day, the third day… Qiao Qiao waited for almost a week before finally confirming that Song Qiyan would not send her any more text messages.

    In fact, she had a premonition after sending that message, but she didn’t give up and still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that Song Qiyan might write back to scold her or ask her why.

    But no, the man was as quiet as a glacier exposed to the extreme sunlight, and just disappeared silently from Qiao Qiao’s world.

    “You seem to be different from before.”

    In the morning, at the dining table of the Mei family, Qiao Qiao had just put a bowl of surimi and scallion noodles in front of Mei Tang when she heard him say this.

    “Is there any?” Qiao Qiao didn’t take it seriously and continued to place the tableware. He also thoughtfully prepared tea in advance so that Mei Tang could rinse her mouth after eating.

    “Let me think about it…” Mei Tang looked at the ceiling for a while, “It’s been a week, right? I feel like you have changed since the dinner party.”

    He picked up the cup of tea and said with a smile: “You didn’t bother to prepare these for me before. What? Are you finally going to accept me?”

    Qiao Qiao didn’t answer, just smiled vaguely.

    If there is a change, it is true. After all, after a person cuts off his own escape route with his own hands, his mentality will always change.

    “Are you in a bad mood when you smile so reluctantly?” Mei Tang touched her chin, “I’ll give you this, it should make you happier.”

    Qiao Qiao looked at a box handed over by Mei Tang, and after opening it, he found a bunch of cash.

    “You can get so much for making a cup of tea? You’re making so much money, aren’t you?”

    “It’s not the tea, it’s the suggestion you made.”

    Qiao Qiao suddenly realized that Mei Tang suddenly asked her about several public relations cases the day before yesterday. She thought it was just for fun, but it turned out that Mei Tang had listened to them.

    “The company’s development has not been going well recently. I don’t know why, but the projects I want to promote always encounter various problems.” He snorted, “I don’t know who is going against me. I have just entered the film and television industry. There is no reason to make enemies so quickly, right?”

    Qiao Qiao looked away silently with a guilty conscience.

    She also couldn’t understand why Mei Tang wanted to set up a film and television company. Entering a new field requires much more money and energy than deep cultivation in a familiar field.Moreover, it is not easy for the Mei family’s network resources to penetrate across industries. It is equivalent to holding on to the iron rice bowl and not having to start a business on your own.

    Qiao Qiao tentatively said, “Why don’t we suspend those projects first, because Mercury may have gone retrograde recently.”

    If her guess is correct, then Mei Tang will face more troubles in the future. After all, a certain man is not only ruthless, but also very petty.

    “Hey, are you worried about me?”

    Qiao Qiao: “…”

    Forget it, you’ll just be bullied to death by Song Qiyan, don’t say I didn’t persuade you.

    “But what you said makes sense.” Mei Tang changed the topic, “After all, I come from a family that values luck very much.”

    Qiao Qiao thought for a second before realizing that many of the Mei family’s industries involved gambling.

    Fortunately, as long as he doesn’t face Song Qiyan head-on… because he’s really not sure how far Song Qiyan will go.

    Now that work has been suspended, Mei Tang spends more time at home, which is also beneficial to Qiao Qiao’s next plan.

    So she worked hard these days to improve Mei Tang’s favorability. Song Qiyan’s “silence” suddenly gave her a sense of crisis. She deeply realized that if she didn’t deal with these things as soon as possible and apologize to Song Qiyan in tears, the rest of her life might be very miserable.

    Mei Tang only felt that Qiao Qiao suddenly became more active in his work and even began to be considerate and caring about him. Normal people might think it was a little abnormal, but for Mei Tang, who had been doted on since childhood, anything could be abnormal, but it was not abnormal for a woman to fall in love with him.In this way, he automatically interpreted Qiao Qiao’s change as ‘admiration’, and even enjoyed it.

    “Move to the left.” Mei Tang directed Qiao Qiao to press his shoulders while playing the game, “That’s right, that’s the position…well, it’s comfortable.”

    He squinted his eyes and lazily manipulated the little man on the screen to move around.His operation was very bad. He had to swing the knife three times to hit a monster on average. He couldn’t dodge, he would just stand still and get beaten. He would take drugs when his health bar bottomed out, and he would spend money when the medicine ran out. It took him almost ten minutes to kill a monster. Qiao Qiao’s blood pressure kept soaring, and he wanted to grab the controller and do it himself.

    She could hardly tell which was more torturous, pressing Mei Tang’s shoulders or watching him play games.

    “Aren’t you tired?” Taking advantage of the monster’s howling and falling, Qiao Qiao tentatively asked, “Why don’t you rest for a while and then play again.”

    Mainly my blood pressure needs a break too.

    “Why? I’ve only been playing for twenty minutes.” Mei Tang said with great interest, “Have you ever played this? It’s very interesting, but the damage of the monsters is a bit high, and it’s annoying to have to buy medicine.”

    That’s because normal people don’t stand there and let monsters hit them!!!

    “Can you find someone to play with you? It can be faster if two people play together.”

    Mei Tang said “Oh”: “It’s not interesting to have two people.”

    Qiao Qiao:???

    The selling point of this game is that two players can cooperate to complete the level. You actually say that two players are boring. Have you really played with two players?

    “If I play with two people, I won’t be able to kill monsters.”

    Qiao Qiao understood instantly.

    Mei Tang is the only son of the Mei family. He has no brothers or sisters. Most of his other playmates have been told by their parents to please Mei Tang, so no one dares to really cooperate with Mei Tang. They all take the lead and clear out all the monsters and then protect Mei Tang to pass the level. Of course it is boring.

    Qiao Qiao couldn’t stand Mei Tang continuing to hurt her eyes with her sloppy operations, so she thought for a while and said, “How about I try to connect with you?”

    Mei Tang raised her eyes: “Can you play?”

    “No, but after watching others play it, it shouldn’t be difficult to get started.”

    “Okay.” Mei Tang became a little more interested, “It’s okay if you don’t know how to do it. I’ll teach you.”

    Qiao Qiao smiled enigmatically.

    She wanted to let Mei Tang experience the true meaning of two-player online, so she deliberately slowed down the speed of clearing monsters so that she could cooperate with him.

    “The monster raises its hammer to use its powerful attack. At this time, you should run away quickly and find a rock to hide.” Qiao Qiao manipulated the villain to demonstrate to Mei Tang, “That’s it, as soon as it raises its hammer, we have to run away immediately no matter what it is doing.”

    The screen was instantly filled with lightning, but because Qiao Qiao took Mei Tang into hiding in advance, neither of them lost any blood.

    “Oh, I know that. I just find it troublesome.”

    Qiao Qiao: “…”

    Is this the game view of the krypton gold boss?

    It took almost an entire afternoon for Qiao Qiao to finally teach Mei Tang how to cooperate. Although he still slipped up from time to time and most tasks had to be done by Qiao Qiao, it was much better than the situation where he just watched at the beginning.The interesting aspects of the two-player game gradually emerged. Neither of them felt tired, and the more they played, the more addictive they became.

    Qiao Qiao couldn’t control it too much, and she would tell Mei Tang if she was too crotch-stretching. The two of them just stumbling through the obstacles, and actually managed to work out some coordination in the end.

    The servant came and reminded three times that dinner was ready, but neither Qiao Qiao nor Mei Tang moved.

    It wasn’t until the boss finally fell down with a scream that both of them let out a sigh of relief at the same time.

    “It’s really interesting.” Mei Tang looked at the controller as if it was the first day she knew it, “Why didn’t I find this game so fun before?”

    “Because no one dares to ask you to cooperate.” Qiao Qiao hit the nail on the head.

    “Then why do you dare?”

    “I think it would be too pitiful for you if you haven’t even experienced the fun of two-person online play?” Qiao Qiao said honestly.

    “Hahahaha…” Mei Tang burst into laughter and stopped after a while, “Do you think I’m pitiful?”

    “If you don’t like this word, I can change it to another one.” Qiao Qiao said honestly, “Lonely? Lonely? Just choose whichever one suits your ears.”

    Mei Tang stopped laughing. He stared at Qiao Qiao: “Do you know what you are talking about? I am the future heir of the Mei family. I have everything I want. Is it your turn to pity me?”

    Qiao Qiao thought to himself: Oh, are we stepping into a minefield?

    “Let’s go eat first.” She changed the topic, “If you don’t like it, I won’t talk about it anymore, and I won’t play the game anymore.”

    Mei Tang remained silent. He couldn’t eat Qiao Qiao even if he didn’t eat it. The two of them could only stay in the living room in relative silence with empty stomachs.

    “Actually, you’re right.”

    After a long time, Mei Tang’s voice sounded again. He said slowly, “Growing up, no one has really played with me. Those ‘friends’ are either afraid of me or want to please me. I always win when I play games and I am always first in all competitions. It’s very boring.”

    Qiao Qiao imagined the scene and nodded in agreement: “It’s okay. I will play with you whatever you want to play in the future. I will never let you go.”

    Mei Tang glanced at her: “Are you trying to please me in another way?”

    “No, I really like playing games.” Qiao Qiao picked up the controller and showed off a few operations, “And it’s really not fun to be alone.”

    “Can you play checkers?”

    “Huh?”

    Mei Tang stood up suddenly: “Follow me.”

    Qiao Qiao watched the man stride upstairs and was a little stunned for a moment. After she realized what she was doing, she quickly followed, but she didn’t expect that Mei Tang went straight to the study.

    Qiao Qiao: “…”

    What does this mean?Let her in?Normally she is not even allowed to go up this floor!

    “Why are you in a daze? Why don’t you come in?” Mei Tang turned around displeased.

    “Can I come in?”

    “Nonsense.” Mei Tang ignored her and went in.

    Qiao Qiao: “…”

    What’s going on?Did she use one game to increase Mei Tang’s favorability?Even the hidden map of the study is open to her?
