Extra (1)
In the president's office on the top floor of Gu Group, the air is always filled with the smell of money, power and... well, a cold disinfectant called "Gu Lin".
Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows lies the cold veins of a forest of steel and concrete.
The interior is decorated in a minimalist and cool style dominated by black, white and grey, and every line carries a warning of "keep away, or you'll get frostbite".
Lin Yu'an is the only creature in this ice and snow kingdom that has the attributes of a little sun.
Recently, a sacred and arduous mission has been added - Operation Melting.
Target: The moving iceberg in front of you named Gu Lin.
Strategy: Cute saturation bombardment.
That morning, Gu Lin walked into the office like a precise Swiss watch.
He habitually walked towards the black streamlined desk that symbolized the core of power.
His eyes scanned the table like a radar. Everything was as perfect as when he left yesterday... Wait!
His gaze froze on the area where he usually placed the mouse.
There, the originally cold and hard black leather mouse pad disappeared.
Instead, there was a... blindingly pink silicone mat.
The mat is designed in the shape of a giant, fleshy cat's paw.
The pink pads are slightly raised and elastic, and the tips of the claws are several smaller, round white balls.
At this moment, his expensive business mouse was placed upright in the center of this huge, cute cat's paw.
Like a serious visitor who accidentally wandered into the cute kingdom, he seemed out of place and... inexplicably funny.
Gu Lin's temples jumped twice.
He raised his eyes expressionlessly, his gaze like an ice cone, shooting towards the figure at the secretary's desk in front of him, who was concentrating on "carefully" organizing documents.
Lin Yu'an seemed to feel the two penetrating gazes, and his shoulders shrank slightly.
Then he raised his head, and a smile appeared on his face that was three times sweeter than a cat's paw pads.
Her eyes curved into crescents. "Good morning, Mr. Gu! I see your old mouse pad is too hard, and your wrist gets tired easily! I carefully selected this one. It's made of silicone, super soft and elastic! It can even massage your acupuncture points! Would you like to try it?"
His tone was cheerful, full of anticipation of "Look how thoughtful I am, praise me quickly."
Gu Lin's thin lips were pressed into a cold straight line.
He stared at the eye-catching pink cushion with elastic bumps and was silent for three seconds.
The air seemed to freeze.
Just when Lin Yu'an's smile was about to disappear and he began to wonder if he had stepped on the nuclear bomb launch button, Gu Lin finally moved.
He said nothing, but very slowly, with an almost solemn sense of ritual, he stretched out his bony right hand, picked up the mouse from the center of the cat's paw pad, and then put it back accurately.
The movements were smooth and natural, as if the cat paw pad was born to be there and was an integral part of his desk.
After doing all this, he didn't even look at Lin Yu'an, but sat down and turned on the computer, as if he had just brushed away a tiny speck of dust.
Lin Yuan: “…”
He blinked and looked at Gu Lin's slender, cold white hand, which moved and clicked on the pink cat paw pad as if nothing had happened.
The strong visual contrast almost made him laugh out loud.
The corners of his mouth curled up wildly, and he quickly lowered his head and pretended to look at the documents, his shoulders shaking suspiciously.
The first layer of the iceberg has melted 1%! Cat paw pads, invasion successful!
After a victory in the first battle, Lin Yuan’s little sun’s energy was instantly full.
Operation Melting enters the second stage: stationery becomes cute.
A few days later, a new member quietly appeared on Gu Lin's desk, next to the cold metal pen holder - a toast-shaped pen holder that was baked to a golden and crispy texture and seemed to be emitting the aroma of butter!
There was even a cute smiley face drawn on the bread slice with chocolate sauce, and a few black pens were stuck in it, like a few abrupt chopsticks.
Gu Lin's gaze stayed on the "toast" for half a second, his brows furrowed slightly, almost imperceptibly, and then moved away.
He picked up the document and prepared to sign it.
Lin Yu'an, like a kitten waiting for its chance, immediately rubbed over and said in a sweet voice, "Boss Gu! Use a pen! Try this new pen holder. Doesn't it look appetizing? Just one look at it when you're tired from work will brighten your mood!"
He diligently pulled out a pen from the "toast" and presented it with both hands.
Gu Lin took the pen, his fingertips touched the slightly cool metal pen body, but his eyes swept over the grinning toast again.
He didn't say anything, but just signed his name in a flamboyant style on the document, and then... very naturally put the pen back into the specially reserved "chopstick hole" in the pen holder.
The movements are smooth and flowing, as if completing a precise operation.
Lin Yu'an's inner villain was already dancing: Yes! Toast, take the high ground! Melting progress +10%!
Little Sun's ambition expanded rapidly like a blown-up balloon.
How can it be enough to just occupy the desktop?
He wants to capture the arms of the overbearing boss!
So, one afternoon, when Gu Lin finished a long meeting and returned to the office in a low mood, there was an uninvited guest on the back of his black CEO chair, which symbolized absolute authority and had cold and hard lines.
A huge shark pillow with a dark blue body and sharp white teeth!
The shark has a ferocious expression, with its bloody mouth wide open, as if it is ready to devour everything at any time, forming a devastating contrast with the style of this office.
Gu Lin paused at the door.
He looked at the stupid shark that arrogantly occupied the back of his chair and bared its teeth, and the veins on his forehead seemed to jump.
He took a deep breath, as if suppressing some destructive impulse, and then stepped forward.
Lin Yu'an's heart was in his throat, ready to pounce at any time to rescue his "Shark General".
However, Gu Lin simply reached out his hand expressionlessly, grabbed the shark pillow's dorsal fin, and pulled it off the chair like a garbage bag, and then...
He casually threw it on the equally expensive single sofa next to him.
The shark pillow bounced on the soft leather sofa, tilted its head, bared its teeth, and still looked stupid as if it said "I don't accept it".
Gu Lin didn't even look at it again. He unbuttoned a button of his suit, sat in his chair, and started processing documents.
Lin Yu'an looked at the lonely, "exiled" shark on the sofa, and the villain in his heart curled his lips: Humph, an iceberg is an iceberg! Sharks are so cute and you don't know how to appreciate it! The melting process has temporarily stopped!
However, a turning point came during a long cross-border video conference.
Gu Lin sat in the main seat. On the screen were several split-screen foreign executives. The atmosphere was serious as they discussed the complicated terms of the merger and acquisition.
Lin Yu'an attended the meeting as secretary and took notes.
The meeting reached a stalemate, with both sides deadlocked on a certain valuation, and the atmosphere was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring.
Gu Lin leaned forward slightly, his fingers tapping lightly on the smooth tabletop as usual. This was his signature move when he was in deep thought.
Lin Yu'an's eyes accidentally swept across his hand, and then... suddenly froze!
Gu Lin's right hand, which had distinct joints and was tapping out a cold and hard rhythm on the table just now, was now unconsciously and extremely slowly... stroking the teeth of the shark pillow thrown on the sofa!
That's right! It's that stupid dark blue shark with its sharp white plastic fangs!
Gu Lin's fingers stroked the shark's exaggerated fangs over and over again with an almost gentle, research-like strength.
His expression remained focused and stern, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes fixed sharply on the data model on the screen.
However, the hand stroking the shark's teeth revealed a hint of the owner's wandering mind at the moment.
Or perhaps... an extremely secret tactile dependence on a silly and cute object that he himself was not even aware of?
Lin Yu'an's eyes widened instantly, his mouth slightly opened, and he almost screamed out loud!
He covered his mouth tightly to prevent the "fuck" from breaking out of his throat.
My heart was beating wildly in my chest, like a hundred deer were having a party!
What did he see?!
The icy boss Gu Lin!
When holding a video conference with tens of billions of users!
Sneaky Shark Teeth?!
He tried hard to suppress the laughter and excitement that was about to explode, and his shoulders trembled slightly uncontrollably.
It turns out it’s not that I don’t like him! I’m just reserved!
I just can’t let go of the burden of being a domineering president!
This shark is definitely an undercover agent who has infiltrated the enemy!
Melt the progress bar and it moves!
It moved like crazy!
This discovery gave Lin Yu'an a burst of confidence in his "Melting Operation," and he immediately entered the final chapter: the final attack! He wanted to tear off Gu Lin's last layer of cold disguise!
The opportunity will come soon.
Gu Lin had just signed a crucial billion-dollar project contract and sent off the last batch of excited and exhausted executives.
There were only two of them left in the office, and the air still held a tense feeling after the smoke of war had cleared.
Gu Lin leaned back on the wide chair and rubbed his eyebrows, a rare relaxed gesture, but his eyebrows only relaxed by one millimeter.
Lin Yu'an felt that the time was ripe!
He approached silently like a cheetah ready to pounce.
In his hands behind his back, he tightly grasped the pink, furry cat ear headband with a playful little bell on the top - this was the ultimate weapon for his melting action!
"Boss Gu!" Lin Yu'an's voice was filled with unconcealed excitement and a hint of mischief, like a small bomb coated in frosting. "Tired, right? Relax a bit! Try something different to perk you up!"
Before he finished speaking, he suddenly pounced forward, his movements as fast as lightning, aiming directly at Gu Lin's meticulously combed black hair!
Gu Lin obviously did not expect the young assistant to suddenly "attack" him, and his body subconsciously leaned back, but the wide boss chair limited his space to dodge.
His deep eyes widened instantly, and he clearly reflected Lin Yu'an's brilliant smile that was full of "success", and... that cat-ear headband that was approaching rapidly and was so pink that it was outrageous!
"Lin Yu'an!"
Gu Lin's voice carried a rare hint of surprise and forced dignity as he tried to stop her. "Enough is enough..." The word "stop" was still on his tongue when he felt a slight pressure and... a strange furry touch on his head.
The pink cat-ear headband was crookedly and arrogantly fastened to the expensive hairstyle of Gu Lin, the president of Gu Group, which symbolized absolute rationality and authority!
The soft fur rubbed against his forehead, and the small bell on the top made an extremely subtle but crisp "ding-ling" sound like thunder as his head shook slightly in shock.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment.
