"Just show your work badge to the staff for registration."
"good."
"This must be at least a five-star hotel. The Pei family is indeed a top-tier wealthy family; even their company cafeteria is incredibly luxurious."
Ji Congyan wanted to say that even though his previous company was a Fortune 500 company, he didn't receive this kind of treatment.
"The restaurant is a chain, but this one is located in the Diana building, so it was used as an employee cafeteria."
"Is it a chain? I've never noticed before. I'm so hungry, I'll go get something to eat first. What do you want to eat? I'll get it for you too."
“…” Shen Yu’nan shook his head. “Just take your own.”
Although that's what he said, Ji Congyan still brought over quite a lot of food, including some for the other person.
"When you were introduced, you said your name was Shao Sang?"
"Um."
"Ji Congyan, how about we become friends?"
Ji Congyan reached out to shake hands with Shen Yuhuan, but his hand remained suspended in mid-air for a moment before Shen Yuhuan gently squeezed his hand. Only then did Ji Congyan speak, "You look... a lot like a friend of mine, almost like twins, but..."
"......"
Ji Congyan subconsciously glanced at Yu Nan again, then shook his head after his gaze fell on the other's slender, fair hands. "After looking closely, only the facial features are more similar."
In his memory, Shen Yu Nan's hands were not so delicate, so fair that you could see the veins clearly. Moreover, Shao Sang looked much healthier and more vibrant, while Shen Yu Nan always seemed sickly and would cough from time to time.
Ji Congyan's thoughts coincided with Shen Yu'nan's.
"When he comes back from his business trip, I will definitely bring him to see you. How can there be people in this world who look so alike?"
Ji Congyan brought out some strongly flavored foods. The greasy smell of the food, combined with the fishy smell of seafood, hit Shen Yuhuan's nose and head almost the instant it was served. Shen Yuhuan's brows furrowed sharply.
Shao Sang's body does not need to eat, so Shen Yu Nan usually doesn't even drink water.
He didn't know what was wrong with his body these past few days. He was always listless and couldn't muster any energy, and his head was spinning terribly.
"Are you feeling unwell? Why aren't you eating anything?"
Seeing that Shao Sang across from him closed her eyes and pinched her brow, Ji Congyan pushed the food towards Shen Yu Nan again.
"Try it? It tastes quite good."
Shen Yu'nan kept his eyes closed and waved his hand.
For some reason, the aromas of the food in the restaurant not only mingled together, but were also amplified to Shen Yuhuan's senses, causing his chest to churn violently. He even subconsciously reached out to cover his mouth.
Then Ji Congyan watched as Shao Sang, who was sitting opposite him, quickly left.
Shen Yu Nan was trying his best to suppress it, but the urge to vomit was too strong, almost to the point of being uncontrollable... He couldn't even wait to get to the bathroom and could only dry heave next to the trash can at the bottom of the stairs.
"Well...."
Vomiting seemed to be just a program set up by Shao Sang's body. After all, Shao Sang didn't need to eat, so she couldn't vomit anything at all. However, the repeated, uncontrollable physiological reactions still made Shen Yunan, who had an anthropomorphic system, redden her eyes, which were filled with a faint mist.
Her eyes, moist and red, made her look even more like a little white rabbit.
Having finally calmed down a bit, Shen Yu'nan could only lean against the wall, panting heavily. He suspected that something was wrong with his body; he had been acting very strangely lately, and he even felt that he should go to Dr. Sun for a checkup.
Not only did I feel aversion to food, but even my body, which didn't normally need to sleep, started to become...drowsy.
At lunchtime, the restaurant was packed with people, and since gossip always travels fastest in the company, the news about Shao Sang's unmarried pregnancy spread like wildfire. The rumors spread incredibly quickly, even embellishing the story of Shao Sang's lethargy, loss of appetite, and drowsy naps during her lunch break, which further confirmed the rumors of Shao Sang's 'pregnancy before marriage'. And the identity of the child's mother became the subject of much speculation.
Whenever the discussion reaches this point, everyone tacitly falls silent, yet they always subconsciously glance in the direction of the president's office.
Who could it be?
'Who else could it be?'
'It can only be her.'
"Tsk tsk."
Even when he looked at Shao Sang, his gaze couldn't help but linger on the other's still flat stomach, before he clicked his tongue in amazement again.
After all, in their eyes, there are far too many men who want to use their pregnancy to enter into a wealthy family.
Soon, the news of Shao Sang's unmarried pregnancy reached Pei Wu's ears.
Upon hearing the news, Pei Wu was initially stunned, memories of their passionate night flashing through her mind. But then she wondered, 'Can robots get pregnant?'
Only then did Pei Wu realize that the two of them hadn't spoken for a long time since their unpleasant parting in the parking lot that day. Recently, Shao Sang had been leaving early and returning late, but he was still preparing meals and tidying up the house for Pei Wu.
Thinking of this, Pei Wu reached out and tapped her desk. A few seconds later, she seemed to come back to her senses and took a sip of the coffee beside her.
This unexpected turn of events caught Pei Wu completely off guard.

Shen Yu Nan and Ji Cong Yan met again at the subway entrance after Shen Yu Nan left work. Shen Yu Nan could hear Ji Cong Yan shouting for him from a distance.
"What a coincidence, you're taking Line 3 too?"
"Mm." Shen Yu'nan nodded.
It was still early, and he was about to take the subway to his part-time job. The place wasn't far from his company; it was only two subway stops away.
"You got off the bus?"
"Um."
See you tomorrow.
Ji Congyan watched Shen Yunan get off the elevator. His mind was still filled with the gossip he had heard that afternoon, the gossip about Shao Sang's pregnancy out of wedlock. His gaze couldn't help but sweep over Shao Sang's flat stomach. Wearing only a white T-shirt, Shao Sang looked very youthful. Even though it was a hot day, everyone entering the subway station was sweating.
But this Shao Sang in front of me seems unaffected by the weather... she looks very dry.
Shen Yu'nan carried a black bag containing the work clothes he needed for his job at the fast food restaurant. This chain fast food restaurant was located right at the subway station entrance, and it had a large customer flow on weekdays. Most of the employees working there were students from the nearby university town.
Shen Yunan changed his clothes and came out of the break room just in time to hand over his shift to his colleagues.
These days, I've managed to scrape together roughly the money I owe Ji Congyan.
Shen Yu'nan is a man of few words and doesn't like to take the initiative to communicate with others, so he doesn't have many friends. Ji Congyan is one of his true friends, so even if he's very tired, he will pay back the money to Qian Ji Congyan as soon as possible.
