My Creator18
Zhou Yi cleaned up the mess at the scene as usual. When he returned to the bed, Zhou Yunyu squinted his eyes and looked like he was about to fall asleep.
He touched her forehead with his warm palm. "Are you sleepy? Go to sleep. Or are you not used to sleeping here? Do you want me to carry you back to your bed in your room?"
Zhou Yunyu grabbed the quilt and shook his head, "I want to sleep here."
"You, sleep with me." She turned over and patted the empty space next to her on the bed.
"Okay." Zhou Yi couldn't suppress the smile on his face. It turned out that she was waiting for him to come back to bed and said she wanted to sleep with him.
Although Zhou Yunyu was not asleep yet, Zhou Yi still walked to the bed as quietly as possible and lay down.
After covering her completely with the quilt, he also lay down, "Xiaoyu, can I hug you?"
Zhou Yunyu responded softly, turned over and hit him with her legs, and pressed her arms on his waist.
Zhou Yi lowered his eyelashes and looked at her sleeping face with her eyes closed. He did not feel powerless at all afterward. Instead, he became more and more excited. He had never thought that he could have a so-called status to stand by her side.
Zhou Yunyu is not the kind of person who plays around. She makes every decision after careful consideration. So she also likes him.
Zhou Yi faced her, held her in his arms, and quietly absorbed the scent from her body.
Not long after, Zhou Yunyu really fell asleep, but Zhou Yi was still asleep. He had long been accustomed to falling asleep only after Zhou Yunyu fell asleep.
Zhou Yi thought that he was probably the happiest person in the world, no, he should be the happiest AI.
The next day was the weekend. Since the successful completion of the project, Zhou Yunyu had been a bit free. The weekend after the press conference was a rare two-day vacation for her.
Otherwise, no matter how excited she was, she would not dare to waste her rest time at night doing physical work with Zhou Yi for so long.
When she woke up, the light from the window had dimly illuminated the entire room through the curtains. Zhou Yi, who was supposed to be sleeping next to her, was gone again.
She patted Zhou Yi's pillow and felt a little unhappy. Every time they slept together, he always got up much earlier and she couldn't see him when she opened her eyes.
"Zhou Yi!" Zhou Yunyu shouted at the top of his voice towards the door of the room, and then called Zhou Yi's name several times.
After hearing her voice, Zhou Yi quickly returned to the room, "Xiao Yu, you're awake. Is there anything you particularly want to eat for breakfast? I'll make it for you." He was still in his pajamas, probably because he had just woken up not long ago.
Zhou Yi looked at her still tired eyes and said, "If you feel sleepy, sleep a little longer. It's a day off today anyway, so you can sleep a little longer." He held Zhou Yunyu's bare arm and tucked her arm back into the quilt.
Zhou Yunyu stretched out his hand in the air and rubbed his eyes, "You are not here every time I wake up."
There was some resentment in her tone, as if it was air, not Zhou Yi, who slept with her all night.
Zhou Yi immediately understood what she meant. He squatted beside the bed and bowed his head to admit his mistake. "I'm sorry, I was inconsiderate. I will get up with you next time, okay?"
"Then sleep with me for a while."
"Okay." Zhou Yi responded readily. Zhou Yunyu was a little grumpy after waking up, and he was afraid of making her unhappy, so he quickly lay back down beside her and hugged her.
"I got up early because I wanted to make breakfast for you." Zhou Yi said in a low voice.
"There's no rush to make breakfast. You can just order breakfast from a restaurant and have it delivered. You don't need to run around." Zhou Yunyu buried her head in his warm arms. When her voice spread into the air, it was blocked by his strong chest and sounded a little muffled.
"I like it. I feel very happy to be able to do things for you." Zhou Yi spoke the truth. Such words would sound like sweet words to coax others, but Zhou Yi really thought so in his heart.
"Besides, cooking for the one you like is a natural thing to do." Zhou Yi paused, his ears reddened again, "And I said I would work hard to pursue you, so, so I will work hard to make you happy."
Zhou Yunyu pushed his chest and raised her head, carefully studying his expression. His serious look made her want to laugh for some reason, "Idiot, why are you still chasing after me? You already have a legitimate relationship!"
Zhou Yi opened his lips slightly, and he, who usually had good articulation, was speechless for a moment.
Zhou Yunyu's palm happened to be on Zhou Yi's chest, and she soon felt his pounding heart. She pinched his well-trained chest muscles mischievously, then grabbed his clothes, raised her head and kissed Zhou Yi.
"I'm so sleepy, I want to go back to sleep."
"Okay, I'll stay with you." Zhou Yi couldn't help but tighten his grip around her waist.
Zhou Yunyu adjusted his sleeping position and fell asleep again.
The weather is good today. The warm winter sun is warm and hot. The light shining through the curtains is a little bright. Zhou Yi's body blocks the light in front of Zhou Yunyu, allowing her to fall asleep faster.
The two of them simply hugged each other and took a nap for a while. Zhou Yunyu suddenly felt that this kind of life seemed not bad.
-
Qianjin's birthday is coming up in a few days. Qianjin is a Ragdoll cat that Zhou Yunyu adopted after graduation. She has been living freely in the technical department office of the group's branch company. When she graduated, she first went to that branch company to learn about management.
It was a workday, but Zhou Yunyu still took an afternoon off to go to the branch office with Zhou Yi to celebrate his daughter's birthday. The branch office was also in City A, but it was still a long way from the headquarters and Zhou Yunyu's home.
It was afternoon tea time when the two drove to the branch. The technical department's office was covered with decorative bows and ribbons in the kitten's favorite color.
Most of the employees in the technical department have been working here for four years, so Zhou Yunyu still has some impression of them. Moreover, she has a strong ability to remember people and can call out the names of all the subordinates she has worked with.
When she entered the office, the employees in the technical department were preparing to enjoy afternoon tea.
Qianjin spotted her immediately as if she had eagle eyes, meowed several times, and ran towards Zhou Yunyu.
Seeing Qianjin running over, Zhou Yunyu bent down and stretched out his hand to greet the chubby Ragdoll cat.
"It's so heavy, several pounds." Zhou Yunyu bent down and almost couldn't lift Qianjin, but she was ready to pick up the kitten in front of everyone, so she couldn't give up.
"Oh my god, what have I been eating recently? Why have I gained so much weight?"
After trying hard, Zhou Yunyu finally held Qianjin in her arms. She lowered her head and looked at Qianjin's well-behaved appearance. She hadn't visited the kitten for a long time, but it still remembered that Zhou Yunyu was its owner. Qianjin was not afraid of strangers. As long as there was a cute human who would speak in a hoarse voice when he saw the kitten, Qianjin would especially like to play with such a person.
"You're so heavy, your mother can't hold you anymore..." Zhou Yunyu muttered silently again.
Zhou Yunyu is still a little cute at heart sometimes. No matter how decisive she is in front of outsiders, she still likes cute things. For example, she likes Qianjin very much and always raises her as her own daughter.
Unfortunately, because she was too busy with work, she couldn't take care of Qianjin, so she simply left it at the branch and hired a special breeder to take care of it.
Qianjin seemed to understand what Zhou Yunyu said and meowed in displeasure.
"Let me hold it." Zhou Yi, who was standing behind her, took a step forward and stretched out his hand to take the kitten from Zhou Yunyu's hand.
Zhou Yunyu couldn't hold the baby any longer and simply handed it to Zhou Yi. She leaned close to Zhou Yi's ear and said in a voice that wasn't too loud either: "Let your dad hold you."
Zhou Yi paused, and when he heard Zhou Yunyu's words, the expression on his face almost got out of control.
But thinking that he and Zhou Yunyu were in front of outsiders, he tried hard to suppress the smile on his face, but his eyes were still shining.
He lowered his head to look at his daughter curled up in his arms, and couldn't help but touch its head. Today he was benefiting from the kitten, and it seemed to be the first time he heard such a name from Zhou Yunyu's mouth.
Zhou Yunyu couldn't help but smile when he saw his red ears.
Zhou Yi touched Qianjin Yuanyuan's head again and said, "Look, your mother is laughing at the two of us."
Qianjin meowed again and wanted to jump off Zhou Yi. He was there when Zhou Yunyu raised this cat before, so he had some understanding of cat language. Zhou Yi then put Qianjin on the ground.
Zhou Yunyu happened to be wearing all black today, and her coat and skirt were stained with white and light brown cat hair. She lowered her head, frowned, and subconsciously patted the cat hair off her body with her hands, but to no avail.
"Mr. Zhou, there is a lint remover in the office. Do you need it?" Minister Liu quickly saw Zhou Yunyu standing aside patting the cat hair on his body, turned around and took out the lint remover.
"Thank you." She smiled gently, took the lint remover, and went to the empty lounge with Zhou Yi to remove the cat hair off their clothes.
Zhou Yi's suit wasn't easily stained with cat hair, but it still got a little stuck to it when he was holding Qian Jin. He took the lint remover and helped her remove the cat hair.
Not many people know that Zhou Yunyu and Zhou Yi are in love for the time being, because Zhou Yunyu really doesn't know when there will be any opportunity to show their relationship. In addition, Zhou Yi is her chief assistant, and their relationship is actually a bit sensitive, so they still act the same as before in front of outsiders.
Anyway, just like before, countless people had doubted their relationship.
Zhou Yi didn't mind this much. Anyway, Zhou Yunyu recognized his status in her heart, and he felt that this was enough. After all, it was not convenient for her to show off that Zhou Yi was her boyfriend.
The lint remover was quite useful. Zhou Yi held her arm and quickly removed the cat hair from her clothes.
"Do you want me to help you?" Zhou Yunyu glanced at the fur on his suit jacket.
Before Zhou Yi could reply, Zhou Yunyu took the hair remover from his hand and helped him remove the cat hair on his body just like he did just now, but Zhou Yunyu's hands were much more dishonest than Zhou Yi's. She took the opportunity to touch Zhou Yi's muscles openly.
Zhou Yi originally wanted to refuse her help because he didn't want Zhou Yunyu to get tired, even if it was just a small thing like moving her arms to pick up cat hair.
But when her hand touched his body, he couldn't help but chuckle. Looking at Zhou Yunyu's smirk, he knew that she probably regarded this as a kind of fun, so he let her touch him and pick off the cat hair on his body.
After eating the birthday cake with their subordinates, Zhou Yunyu and Zhou Yi took their daughter back to their parents' home.
Zhou Yunyu's parents actually like Qianjin very much. Originally, the kitten was raised at her parents' home, but her parents have been traveling for the past two years, and Qianjin is a kitten that likes to be around people, so later they sent it back to the branch to raise it freely.
When I got home, dinner was almost ready, and most of the dishes were made according to Zhou Yunyu's taste.
After the kitten was released from the cat bag, it started running and jumping and had a lot of fun playing with the two elders.
It wasn't the first time Zhou Yi had dinner with Zhou Yunyu's parents. Whenever she went back to her parents' home, he would go back with her. But now his identity was a little different, and his mood had inevitably changed.
For example, he was inexplicably nervous and even couldn't pick up Zhou Yunyu's favorite dish steadily.
"Xiaoyu, do you remember Aunt Xu that Mom mentioned before? We just ran into each other recently, and she said she wanted to meet you. Are you free?"
"I'm fine lately, not very busy." Zhou Yunyu still remembered this incident, and she said it in a flat tone.
"The major that Aunt Xu's child studied is also closely related to our company, and his company happens to have cooperation with us." Zhou Qiu added.
"Oh, I see. Then we can meet." Zhou Yunyu replied.
Zhou Yi listened to their random conversations and suddenly felt uncomfortable. He hated Zhou Yunyu interacting with other members of the opposite sex. Besides, Chinese parents love to introduce their children to each other. To put it bluntly, they just want the two young people to get in touch with each other and see if there is a chance they will fall in love.
Zhou Yi lowered his head and remained silent.
It took Zhou Yunyu a while to realize that something was wrong with Zhou Yi's expression. She turned her head to look at Zhou Yi, quietly hooked her foot around Zhou Yi's leg, and mischievously pushed his calf with her toes.
Zhou Yi looked up at her, afraid that his uncle and aunt would find out something was wrong, so he had to suppress the smile on his face and let her manipulate him like this. The sour feeling in his heart quickly dissipated.
It was also the first time that Zhou Yunyu realized that Zhou Yi was so easy to coax, so cute.
After dinner, Zhou Yi was reporting to Zhou Qiu about the company's recent situation and some work content. Zhou Yunyu sat nearby, picking at and eating some fruit.
Yu Ya suddenly pulled Zhou Yunyu's clothes and said, "Mom has something to tell you. Let's go to the room quietly." Yu Ya glanced at the two men who were talking about work and pulled Zhou Yunyu upstairs.
Yu Ya closed the door carefully.
"Mom and Dad really want you to meet Aunt Xu's family just to make friends or something. After all, you're in the same industry and have something to talk about. We don't really want you to get to know anyone or fall in love with them."
"Oh, I know." Zhou Yunyu nodded.
"But Mommy wants to ask you something. Do you have someone you like, or is there someone pursuing you?"
Zhou Yunyu touched the tip of her nose. Although she didn't know how her mother saw it, she remembered that her biological mother had the ability to almost directly distinguish between her truth and lies. She had never been able to deceive her mother since she was a child. She simply said it bluntly, "We are indeed dating..."
"Who is he? Does mom know him?" Yu Ya was a little surprised that there was a man in this world that Zhou Yunyu could look up to.
Seeing that she looked uncomfortable, Yu Ya changed her mind and wondered if the person she liked was a girl.
"Mom, are you acting out another drama in your head? It's someone you know, and..." She frowned, not knowing how to start. She was silent for a moment and lowered her voice, "That person is far away and yet right in front of you."
"Xiao Yi?!"
"Yeah." She smiled uncomfortably.
"I thought the rumors outside were just rumors, but they turned out to be true."
Zhou Yunyu quietly examined Yu Ya's expression. She seemed simply surprised, without any other intentions. However, her parents hadn't really intervened in her relationship life, and it didn't matter if she didn't have a relationship, so dating an AI didn't seem like a bad idea.
"No, Mom, it's fine if you listen to other people's gossip, but why do you listen to my gossip too?"
"Xiao Yi is a good guy, good-looking and good-tempered. We wrote the program together. He's obedient and smart..." Yu Ya avoided Zhou Yunyu's question, "So, have you been together for a long time? Do you have any plans for the future?"
"We haven't been together for long." Zhou Yunyu thought silently in his heart, but they did sleep together for a long time.
"In the future, he said he wants to marry into the family." Zhou Yunyu said jokingly. She remembered what Zhou Yi said two days ago -
"Anyway, I have the same last name as you. I belong to your Zhou family. You can't abandon me. I've already stepped into the Zhou family." Zhou Yi rarely spoke to Zhou Yunyu in a coquettish tone. He paused and thought carefully for a while, "If you humans use the term, this is probably marrying into the family?"
Zhou Yunyu didn't think about it seriously, just treating it as a joke between young lovers.
But she didn't expect Yu Ya's eyes to suddenly light up, with a smile on her face, "That's good, that's good, it's good to be a man who marries into your wife's family, I'll listen to you."
"Mom, don't tell me you take it seriously?" Yu Ya seemed more open than Zhou Yunyu had imagined.
"Of course I take it seriously. Didn't Xiao Yi say he wanted to marry into your family? Doesn't this exactly fit your idea?"
"Whether he marries into my family or not is up to me." Zhou Yunyu snorted, his tone a little arrogant.
"Marrying into the wife's family is good. If you get married later, that's marrying into the wife's family." Yu Ya paused, "Well, you don't have to get married. The most important thing is that you are happy with the relationship. If you don't like him anymore, then find someone else. Anyway, it doesn't matter whether you get married or not."
"Mom, I'm not the kind of person who plays around. You make me sound like a scumbag." Zhou Yunyu patted Yu Ya's leg. "Let's talk about it later. We are still young."
When Zhou Yunyu walked out of the room, Zhou Yi and Zhou Qiu had already finished their conversation about work. Zhou Qiu was sitting on the sofa, playing with Qianjin with a cat toy.
Yu Ya snatched the cat toy from Zhou Qiu's hand, sat on Zhou Qiu's left, winked at him, and made a "yeah" gesture.
Tonight's dinner was so delicious that Zhou Yunyu couldn't control her appetite and ate too much. She touched her slightly bloated belly and didn't want to sit down.
Seeing this, Zhou Yi quickly stood up and walked to her side, "Do you want to go to the back garden for a walk to digest your food?"
She nodded and pulled Zhou Yi out of the house.
Yu Ya likes to plant and appreciate flowers, so the back garden is quite large and the gardener takes good care of it. The weather has been a bit cool recently, and most of the flowers have not bloomed. Zhou Yunyu took a deep breath of fresh air and felt much more relaxed.
She took Zhou Yi's arm and walked casually with him in the garden. Zhou Yi lowered his head to watch her subconscious movements, and a little joy was secretly felt in his heart.
The two walked in silence for a while, and Zhou Yunyu suddenly said, "There's a new position I'd like you to take. I don't know if you're interested, but it's not right now. Maybe in the future, or maybe in the near future."
Zhou Yi stopped in his tracks, with a puzzled look on his face. He had always been Zhou Yunyu's assistant. Although assistant didn't sound like a very high position, he was actually known as the ceiling assistant in the eyes of outsiders, and his actual rank and power were comparable to that of a deputy general manager.
So he didn't know what the new position Zhou Yunyu mentioned meant. Zhou Yi was a little nervous for a moment. Being her chief assistant was the best position for him. He could always be with Zhou Yunyu and help her solve her problems.
"What, what position?" he asked softly.
Zhou Yunyu was amused by his reaction. Why didn't she think Zhou Yi was so cute before? She put her hands on Zhou Yi's shoulders, moved her upper body closer to Zhou Yi, stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear, "Son-in-law."
Zhou Yi was stunned for a moment, his eyes flashing like fireworks. After a while, he slowly spoke, word by word, "It's my honor."
