Pei Wu's heart tightened.

She naturally knew how important the chip was to this kind of robot. Since it hadn't been able to be charged all day, Pei Wu had also checked the robot and roughly knew that it was either a problem with the chip or the battery. However, she didn't have professional testing equipment, so she brought Shao Sang to Dr. Sun's research institute.

'If it's because of my own absurd behavior...'

"It's nothing serious, just a battery issue. It can be fixed in two or three days. Miss Pei, please leave it with me, and I'll let you know when I've fixed it up. Is that alright?"

"Um."

Pei Wu nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble Dr. Sun."

Before leaving, Pei Wu glanced subconsciously in Shao Sang's direction and then said, "I'll wait for your news."

After leaving the research institute, Pei Wu heard the long-lost female voice of the system in her ears.

'Data will be refreshed shortly, please wait.'

'Data refresh successful. You will soon receive the latest data: Friendship: 60, Romance: 25. New storyline is about to trigger.'

The sudden sound of the long-absent system voice made Pei Wu subconsciously stop in her tracks.

Almost at the same time the system notification ended, Pei Wu's phone rang.

Looking at the name 'Mo You' on her phone screen, Pei Wu's brows furrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly.

That night, her memory stopped at her conversation with Mo You. As for why Shao Sang was the one who came to her room, she had no idea.

At first, she thought it was strange that she was suddenly aroused, so she decided to check the surveillance footage from that night. However, the surveillance cameras around her room malfunctioned unexpectedly that night, and even the servants who were supposed to be serving her were pulled away to help out because of the party.

This is quite... illogical.

Mo You didn't send any medication to suppress the symptoms, and instead remained silent about what happened that night. Meanwhile, the other party involved, Shao Sang...

In short, it's extremely strange.

However, all of this made Pei Wu even more suspicious of Mo You. It was hard for Pei Wu not to suspect someone who could pull off such a scheme.

Lost in thought, Pei Wu pressed the answer button.

"Hello."

"The matter concerning the Shen family has been settled."

"knew."

Pei Wu hung up the phone after saying that.

However, since the Shen family's matter was handled properly, the system provided new data, which Pei Wu found reasonable, so she didn't think much of it. According to the data provided by the system, Pei Wu should strike while the iron was hot.

But doing this after such an absurd thing with Shao Sang... she felt a little strange inside.

"Mr. Shen, you may leave now."

"Cough cough."

Shen Yu'nan stood by the window and watched Pei Wu's car drive away before turning around to look at Cheng Tong, who was talking to him.

"Please be sure to return to the research institute at 6 PM two days from now."

Cheng Tong watched Shen Yunan's departing figure and gave him one last instruction.

Shen Yu Nan had nowhere else to go except the house he shared with his friend.

Even though he had been sleeping all day, his whole body was still sore and weak. He didn't even know when he had fallen asleep on the sofa. When his friend Ji Congyan came back, Shen Yunan was still asleep on the sofa.

"You're back."

Hearing the noise, Shen Yu'nan slowly sat up from the sofa. His legs were still very weak. He leaned lazily against the sofa and answered his friend in a hoarse voice, "Yeah, I just got home this morning."

"Why do you look so pale? I remember your period is around the middle of the month, right? Or have you been working too hard lately? Your face is ashen, and you look so lethargic. I'd think some stinky woman had done *that* to you."

"..." Upon hearing the other person's words, Shen Yu Nan subconsciously lowered his eyes. His superior eyelids trembled slightly, and when he looked up again, he pretended not to care about his expression, only replying, "Don't you know what my physical condition is? You don't need to worry too much about it."

"Nonsense, nonsense! You don't even care about your own body, so who do you expect to care? You need to take better care of yourself. I'll go to the market later to buy a chicken and stew it for you to help you recover. Never mind, I'll go now. I'm too lazy to change clothes again."

"We need a chicken to nourish ourselves." Although Shen Yu'nan said this, he still felt a warm feeling in his heart.

"I said I'd use it, so I will."

Ji Congyan took the key from the shoe cabinet and was about to leave when he suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back to Shen Yu'nan. "Look, Diana's job offer."

"..." Shen Yu'nan watched as the other party proudly presented the job offer to him. "You're planning to join Diana?"

"Mmm." Ji Congyan nodded twice. "I'll go buy some things first, and I'll tell you the details when I get back."

After saying that, he rushed out the door.

Shen Yunan stared blankly at the job offer letter and suddenly remembered Ji Congyan talking to him about Pei Wu's visit to his home that day.

Ji Congyan returned quickly, and he seemed to be in a good mood, humming a song.

"I'll do it."

Shen Yunan rolled up his sleeves and reached out to take over the task that Ji Congyan was doing while rinsing the chicken pieces.

"No need, I can do it. You go and rest for a while."

"Look at the water you've made all over the place, let me do it."

Ji Congyan stuck out his tongue helplessly and then handed the work over to Shen Yu'nan.

"I was lucky to be there; there happened to be a live chicken left, and the owner helped me prepare it and cut it into pieces, which took a little time."

"Um."

Shen Yunan was meticulous in his work. He turned the tap down a little and carefully rinsed the blood off the chicken pieces, wiping the water off the countertop first.

The two shared an apartment, and they would prepare meals together in the evenings before work to bring to the company the next day, where they would heat some food in the company microwave and have a simple meal.

In general, both takeout and restaurants are not cheap in the business district where the company is located, so it is healthier and cheaper to prepare your own lunchbox.

Shen Yu'nan had worked in the kitchen of a restaurant, so compared to Ji Congyan, he was much more organized and meticulous in his work.

For a moment, the only sounds in the kitchen were the gurgling of water from the faucet and Ji Congyan chopping vegetables. After a while, Shen Yunan finally asked Ji Congyan, "Are you going to Diana?"

"Yes, yes. I stayed up several nights preparing for Diana's interview, and I never expected to succeed."

"..." Shen Yu Nan paused for a moment, and then continued, "You're doing well at your current company, why did you suddenly decide to switch jobs to Diana?"
