Watching Jiang Cheng leave, Pei Xi slowly walked to the bathroom door. She exclaimed, then suddenly remembered something, "Oh, I almost forgot, there's a microwave here. No rush, take your time."
After saying that, she looked at Jiang Cheng and added, "Taking a shower is fine too, I don't mind waiting for you."
Jiang Cheng: "".
He shook his head. "No need for now. I already showered before going to bed last night."
Pei Xi: "Oh."
She blinked, a hint of regret appearing on her face.
Jiang Cheng quickly finished washing up. He came out while wiping his face, his hair slightly damp from the water. He then combed it back up with his fingers, revealing his eyebrows and eyes, which were sharp, handsome, and had a touch of wildness.
It's completely different from how well-behaved it was when it was asleep.
Pei Xi, sitting on the sofa, beckoned to him: "Come over here, see which one you want to eat."
The breakfast she bought was Western-style: a thick toast sandwich with milk. The toast had two fillings: a thick omelet and bacon.
Jiang Cheng walked over, glanced at the items, and shook his head. "You choose first."
Pei Xi shook his head, quite resolutely, "No, you choose first."
Jiang Cheng paused.
Meeting Pei Xi's resolute gaze, he paused for two seconds, then reluctantly pointed to the thick omelet-filled toast, "Then I'll eat this."
Pei Xi's face lit up with joy, and she handed him the toast. "That's more like it. If you're always like this, I'll never know what you like to eat."
Jiang Cheng took the toast and gave a soft "hmm".
He really wanted to say that he could eat anything.
However, Pei Xi didn't seem to like hearing that.
So he held back and didn't say anything.
The aroma of the toast made Jiang Cheng feel hungry, so he lowered his head and took a big bite.
He doesn't eat very elegantly; he likes to eat in big bites, and his angular jawline becomes even more pronounced when he chews.
After a couple of bites, he had almost eaten half of the toast, and Pei Xi had only managed to eat one edge.
Suddenly, a noise came from the doorway, and the door was opened. Jiang Shuyu, whom he hadn't seen for several days, walked in. When he saw Pei Xi, he was stunned for a moment, and a hint of awkwardness flashed across his face.
"Eating?" He looked at the two of them and chuckled.
In the past, he would have definitely asked if there was any for him, but now, he is not the same person he used to be.
He understands everything.
Seeing Pei Xi nod, Jiang Shuyu lifted the bag in his hand and said, "Hehe, what a coincidence, I brought one myself too."
Pei Xi frowned and asked, noticing that he had arrived earlier than usual, "Brother Jiang, why are you here so early? Have you been very busy these past few days?"
Jiang Shuyu nodded and sighed, "It's more than just busy."
The game needs to be released before the end of the year, so he and Jiang Cheng both have to work overtime and make the most of every minute.
Jiang Shuyu was alright, since he only had matters to attend to at the studio. Jiang Cheng, on the other hand, had to juggle his schoolwork during the day, so he worked even harder than Jiang Shuyu, making the most of his evenings and working as much as he could, often staying up until the early hours of the morning.
He guessed that Jiang Cheng could sleep for at least ten hours in two days combined.
Upon hearing this, Pei Xi paused, holding the toast, and turned to look at Jiang Cheng.
No wonder he was in that position on the bed just now.
He must be very tired and sleepy.
So I accidentally fell asleep while resting.
Pei Xi suddenly thought of something, and her heart felt a little sore.
Despite being in this state, he still managed to reply to her trivial messages promptly every day.
Moreover, none of them were perfunctory.
Pei Xi suddenly felt a pang of regret; if she had known, she shouldn't have kept bothering him.
Jiang Cheng noticed Pei Xi's worried look. He unconsciously tightened his grip on the toast, then smiled and said to her, "I'll be a little busy for a while, but it'll be fine once it's on the shelves."
Pei Xi hummed in agreement and then nodded.
Then she started eating heartily, eager to finish quickly.
She still had some work left to do, and she didn't want to hold everyone back.
Jiang Cheng noticed her movements and couldn't help but laugh. "Eat slowly, there's no rush."
Pei Xi nodded perfunctorily, but didn't stop what she was doing.
Jiang Cheng smiled helplessly.
After finishing his meal, Pei Xi immediately threw himself into his work.
She designed the animation frame rate for each game character and showed it to Jiang Shuyu and Jiang Cheng.
The two confirmed that there were no problems. Jiang Shuyu genuinely liked Pei Xi's art style and was extremely satisfied with her.
Although Pei Xi only agreed to his request because of her relationship with Jiang Cheng, if he hadn't gone to her in the first place, none of this would have happened.
Jiang Shuyu still believes that he made a great contribution to this matter and is a lucky charm.
Moreover, Jiang Shuyu felt that the reason he hadn't noticed the affair between the two before wasn't because he was too stupid, but because Jiang Cheng's behavior was too subtle.
Somewhat noticeable, but not much.
That's why he didn't discover the truth.
Otherwise, given his record of zero arguments in four years of dating, someone as skilled in relationships as him couldn't possibly have missed it.
He's the kind of guy who can tell all of his girlfriend's different lipsticks apart.
He felt that Jiang Cheng really needed the help of a master like him.
So, while looking at each frame Pei Xi drew, he half-jokingly said, "By the way, these are just the initial versions when the game is released. If the data is good after the release, we will definitely update it later and add new characters, new scenes, new items and the like."
Pei Xi nodded, then waited for him to continue.
Jiang Shuyu smiled and continued, "What I mean is, we can finalize future cooperation matters now, otherwise, as your fans grow, you'll have to raise your prices."
Pei Xi was taken aback, then smiled and said in a feigned tone, "Oh, Brother Jiang, so you want to exploit me and make me work for you forever."
She snorted lightly, "You've already made money, but you still won't give me a raise."
"We haven't even started making money yet," Jiang Shuyu chuckled, then glanced at Jiang Cheng beside him and said meaningfully, "Besides, half of the money this game makes will be yours in the future."
The room fell silent at his words.
Pei Xi was taken aback by his words, and her face flushed instantly. "Brother Jiang, what nonsense are you talking about..."
Jiang Shuyu clicked his tongue. "I'm not making this up, am I, Jiang Cheng?"
Just when Pei Xi thought Jiang Cheng would retort to Jiang Shuyu and tell him not to talk nonsense, she suddenly saw him nod.
Then, he looked over, met her gaze, and said softly, "Yes, everything that's mine is yours."
