'A friendly reminder to all players: the target's stats are crucial for the game's progress. Low stats may trigger undesirable events or even terminate the game. If the game terminates, players will need to return to their game pod and restart.'

The mechanical female voice rang in Pei Wu's ears once again, causing her to involuntarily lift her gaze from the documents and shift it to Shen Yu Nan.

'You need to improve each other's stats as soon as possible.'

Pei Wu looked at the other person's straight back, but raised her hand to pinch her sore brow. She once again felt that men were more complicated than data studies.

At this moment, the mechanical female voice continued, "Here's a little tip for our esteemed gamer: during those few days of the month, you're more vulnerable both physically and mentally than usual, making it a perfect time for you to 'conquer' your opponent."

Dear gamer, would you like me to provide you with some relevant information?

Pei Wu closed her eyes and pondered for a moment, gradually digesting what the system had said to her.

'need. '

The system's words were quite in line with Pei Wu's thoughts, since she would consult relevant materials before conducting research.

'Okay, I received your order. I will look up the relevant information for you now. Please wait.'

...

......

'Data retrieval complete, please wait...'

Pei Wu listened to the system's advice and was now standing in front of the supermarket shelves, staring blankly at the various packages of brown sugar on the shelves. She raised her hand and put it down several times, seemingly unable to find one that satisfied her.

According to the information obtained from the system, brown sugar water is essential during this period, which is why Pei Wu, who stayed up all night, appeared here.

However, the selection of these items did indeed touch upon Pei Wu's blind spot, and a supermarket employee not far away walked up to Pei Wu at the right time. "Is this young lady choosing brown sugar for her partner?" The employee looked Pei Wu up and down.

Pei Wu possessed an exceptional temperament, exuding an innate calmness and composure in every gesture, even amidst the men standing around this shelf.

Only then did Pei Wu raise her eyes to look at the staff member she was talking to, but she was speechless for a moment and subconsciously pursed her lips.

"These days, there aren't many women who truly care about their men," the staff member said to herself, reaching for a high-end box from the top shelf. "This one sells best. It contains donkey-hide gelatin and goji berries, which are very beneficial to the body. Plus, we're having a promotion right now: buy two boxes and get a free thermos. Fill the thermos with hot brown sugar water, and your partner will be very happy."

Pei Wu glanced at the man she was talking to, seemed to be deep in thought, and after a few seconds she reached out to take the gift, said "thank you," and then turned and left.

Pei Wu glanced at the brown sugar and thermos she had placed on the passenger seat.

"A good partner should remember their partner's special days." The system's words still echoed in her ears. She took out her phone and glanced at the prominent pink app on the home screen. Pei Wu had just downloaded it, and its purpose was to record the dates of special periods and also send some reminders during those periods.

Pei Wu opened the app with her beautiful nails, lightly tapping the dates with her fingertips.

'If we go back one day, it would be the 10th.' As Pei Wu thought this, she couldn't help but recall Shen Yu Nan's pale face from yesterday.

"Is the company's air conditioning broken today? It doesn't feel cool at all."

"Yeah, yeah, I also feel it's not very cool in the company today. Look at all this sweat on my forehead."

Shen Yu Nan listened without even lifting his eyelids. He didn't feel hot at all; the temperature was just right and comfortable for him.

Back in her office, Pei Wu pondered for a moment before dialing her subordinate's internal phone.

The intercom was connected, and with a series of beeps, Pei Wu watched through the glass window as Shen Yunan answered the phone on the table.

"President Pei."

Hearing Shen Yunan's indifferent voice coming from the other end of the phone, Pei Wu parted her thin lips slightly and said, "Come in."

"yes."

After about two or three minutes, Pei Wu looked up at the door that Shen Yunan had been gently knocking on.

"Come in. "

Today, Shen Yuhuan wore a violet shirt under his black suit. The bright violet color, along with his dark hair hanging down his face, made his complexion appear even paler. Before entering the president's office, Shen Yuhuan went to the break room to prepare a cup of coffee for Pei Wu, which was her usual drink.

Standing beside the coffee machine, Shen Yu'nan watched as drops of dark coffee fell into the white coffee cup. His lowered eyelids concealed his dark eyes, revealing no thoughts whatsoever.

His appearance was exactly the same as when he was standing in front of Pei Wu.

He lowered his eyes and placed the coffee next to Pei Wu.

"Thanks."

Pei Wu glanced at the ripples in her coffee cup and spoke again, "You don't look too well. Why don't you go back and rest for a few days?"

"..." Shen Yu Nan still kept his eyes downcast, but in his heart he was secretly trying to figure out the meaning behind Pei Wu's words.

The only occasional sound in the quiet office was Shen Yu Nan's soft cough.

People who are having a rough time are the best at reading between the lines, and Shen Yu Nan was no exception. However, after working as a secretary for three years, Shen Yu Nan was unable to figure out Pei Wu's intentions at this moment. It was common for Shen Yu Nan to be unwell, but this was the first time he had ever seen Pei Wu give him a few days off so peacefully.
