"..." Pei Wu's gaze fell on Shao Sang's face, her eyes passing over the other's eyebrows and eyes, and finally settling on the other's lips.
She thought carefully about the 'Meng Qinsu' that Wei Guangmo had mentioned.
After racking her brains for a while, she finally remembered that she had only glimpsed a face with a similar appearance on the computer screen of one of her researchers. She remembered that the researcher told her that this was a celebrity that the company was collaborating with, and that she was collecting information about this celebrity from various angles so that she could create a computer data model of his face and better recreate it in the game.
Those who choose to use celebrity look-alikes as their inspiration or their own faces are mostly fans, or people who are drawn to the celebrity's good looks. Since they have spent a lot of money, 'Beishang' naturally does not want consumers to have any faults, and tries its best to achieve a one-to-one reproduction.
There is also a dedicated department that is responsible for this work. In addition to creating a 360° hand-drawn sketch of the celebrities that the company collaborates with, the staff in this department also take photos from multiple angles for reference.
In addition, to ensure that the facial expressions of the modeled characters in the game are natural and smooth, the staff in this department also refer to the dynamic expressions of the celebrities in the film and television works they have participated in, in order to improve the quality of the game and the realism of the game characters.
The researcher was watching a crime drama starring Meng Qinsu, who played a forensic doctor. Pei Wu glanced at Meng Qinsu wearing forensic clothing and dissecting a corpse, with only her eyes showing, as she wore a mask and hat.
Pei Wu's gaze finally settled on Shao Sang's eyes as she recalled this.
'Indeed...very similar.'
Pei Wu raised her hand to touch Shao Sang's eyes. A warm sensation came from beneath her thin eyelids, and her beautiful eyelashes tickled Pei Wu's fingertips as Shao Sang blinked.
The tingling sensation sent a shiver through Pei Wu's heart.
'And...his inexplicable obedience...his inexplicable kindness...even when I forced him...it all felt like I was doing some kind of task, just like how I treated Shen Yu'nan when I followed the system's instructions.'
Pei Wu's hand pinched Shao Sang's chin again, and the action of slowly lifting the other's chin made Shen Yunan nervously roll his delicate Adam's apple.
'I seem to have been blinded by his robot identity. I thought that absolute obedience and all that gentleness... were just part of a robot's programming towards its master. That also explains why he doesn't care about what's between me and Mo You... because it's just a mission.'
Thinking of this, Pei Wu unconsciously clicked her tongue and looked at the other person with a more inquisitive expression.
'But what is his mission?'
Her brow furrowed even more, and a flood of memories of their time together flashed through her mind. 'Could it be that he's also bound to the simplest romance system? Was all that obedience and gentleness just to make me fall for him?'
Thinking of this, Pei Wu suddenly recalled the same excuse she had used when she said she was moved, and found it ironic.
Her heart... also felt inexplicably sour.
"A-Wu?"
Shen Yu'nan's heart pounded as he looked at Pei Wu's strange expression. "You're pinching me too hard."
He didn't know if she had discovered something, but her eyes were slightly red.
Shao Sang's voice pulled Pei Wu back to reality. She withdrew her hand from the other's chin and softened the tense expression on her face. "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired."
Suddenly, Pei Wu felt lazy and didn't want to talk.
She reached out and took the water glass from Shao Sang's hand, took a small sip, and the warm water moistened Pei Wu's dry lips. Her gaze then returned to the window.
Even the lights in the yard were chosen by the two of them together.
Thinking of this, Pei Wu took another sip of water from her glass.
"You've had a long day, you should get some rest too."
Shen Yu'nan noticed Pei Wu's unusual behavior, which all started after she met Yan Chang. He bit his lip lightly but still decided to ask, "How did you come to know Mr. Yan Chang, A-Wu?"
"...."
When Pei Wu saw Shao Sang asking her a question, she stared at him for a while before saying, "He is a good friend of mine who I have known for many years."
Seeing that Shao Sang remained silent, Pei Wu asked again, "Is there anything else you want to ask?"
Shen Yu Nan shook his head.
Pei Wu knew that even if Shao Sang in front of her was really from the real world, and she was his target, it was perfectly reasonable for him to pursue her according to the game system's requirements, since it was just a game.
However, for her, who had just experienced what it meant to be moved, it was like being doused with a bucket of cold water from head to toe.
That night, Pei Wu couldn't sleep at all. She didn't even take a shower, but just sat blankly in the chair in the study all night. She didn't even take a shower, and just sat there all night in the clothes she had worn when she came home.
However, in just one night, Pei Wu had already composed herself.
First, she couldn't be sure that Shao Sang was really a gamer who came to the real world.
Secondly, even if he is, they can only return to reality after everyone has completed their missions.
As for what happens after returning to reality...
Even if the two people are brought together by the game system, they can still cross paths again after completing the mission and returning to the real world.
Thinking about this, Pei Wu suddenly felt much relieved.
After taking a shower and changing her clothes, she made a healthy breakfast that she was relatively good at.
Shen Yu'nan also tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. He noticed that Pei Wu had become very strange after meeting Yan Chang, and even her eyes held a hint of inquiry when she looked at him.
When Shen Yu Nan woke up, he saw Pei Wu preparing fruit for breakfast as usual.
"...."
He stared intently at Pei Wu, but did not take a step forward.
Shen Yu'nan, who was good at reading people, noticed the sudden distance that had appeared between Pei Wu and him yesterday. The moment she looked at him, it was as if a high wall had been erected around her, and her eyes were as calm as still water, without a ripple.
He had only seen Pei Wu like this before, when she was about to force her phone off after she had taken it upon herself to be intimate with her...
"morning....."
Pei Wu looked at Shao Sang.
She looked visibly tired after not sleeping all night, and there were dark circles under her eyes. Her hair was still damp from her recent bath.
"good morning."
He frowned slightly, his heart aching.
