Lin Zhenzhen held the lollipop stick in her hand, gently tapping her thigh, staring blankly at the scenery rushing past the window.
The system just told her that the progress of the first two of the three main quests has exceeded 90%, and the remaining finishing work should be completed in less than a week, based on the current progress of the guide.
Now there's only one task left: to firmly lock up the male and female protagonists from the original book. The progress bar shows 70/100.
According to the original plot, He Xiaoxiao was supposed to run away with her child, but five years later she returned to China with her two genius babies. She met Lu Yangyun again at a banquet and subsequently became entangled with him.
However, because of Lin Zhenzhen's phone call, Lu Yangyun learned about He Xiaoxiao's pregnancy in advance, which disrupted the timeline, and the original plot may be brought forward.
In other words, she also accelerated the progress of the third main quest.
Lin Zhenzhen suddenly felt a pang of regret; perhaps she shouldn't have made that call.
Or we could wait a few days and slow down the progress, at least until after August.
"What are you thinking about?" Huo Yeshuo suddenly asked from beside him.
He drove very steadily, and even when stopping and starting at traffic lights, Lin Zhenzhen didn't feel any jerking.
Because the process was so smooth, Lin Zhenzhen got bored and let her thoughts wander, bringing up all sorts of random things.
"I'm thinking about you," Lin Zhenzhen replied quickly. Although it was the truth, her words inevitably sounded somewhat frivolous.
She quickly tried to salvage the situation: "I was thinking about what you're planning to cook tonight."
Huo Yeshuo's lips twitched: "These are all home-style dishes; I don't know how to make anything too complicated."
"That would be great, my favorite food is home-cooked meals." Lin Zhenzhen nodded with a smile.
Huo Yeshuo raised his eyelids slightly but didn't say anything.
He believed that if he had just said he was good at cooking Western food, she would have nodded without hesitation.
Then, smiling, she said, "Western food is delicious! I love Western food the most."
Huo Yeshuo has never been in a relationship. His friends abroad found it hard to believe that he was over 20 years old and had no romantic history.
Afterwards, people began to speculate about his sexual orientation and whether certain functions were normal.
"I won't date because it's too much trouble." That's what Huo Yeshuo said at the time, because he genuinely found it troublesome.
He dislikes flattering others, nor does he like others flattering him. In his view, everyone is an independent individual, and maintaining distance and normal interaction is sufficient.
His friend misunderstood him, thinking he was an unstable person who didn't crave a stable relationship but rather a sex partner.
Okay, what they actually said was, "several, some sexual partners."
When Huo Yeshuo heard this, he simply twitched the corner of his mouth and laughed it off.
He didn't refute it, because refuting it would be too troublesome.
But now, only a few years after that conversation, his thinking has undergone a complete transformation.
In the afternoon at the hospital, he saw Lin Zhenzhen standing in the corner of the lobby from afar.
His wristwatch reminded him that his appointment with the doctor was approaching, and he should take the elevator upstairs immediately.
But the moment the elevator doors opened, he couldn't help but turn and walk towards her.
Lin Zhenzhen suddenly made a phone call.
She had her back to me, and her profile was reflected in the gleaming glass window.
Her beautiful features can switch effortlessly between bright and charming and tearful and alluring.
Amidst his soft sobs, he vaguely heard the words "what brother".
Huo Yeshuo had reviewed her employment file and was certain she was an only child. Since he wasn't her blood-related brother, he could only be her lover.
Huo Yeshuo didn't feel angry after realizing this, because he had a clear understanding of his current identity.
It's perfectly acceptable for a single girl to have multiple suitors.
Huo Yeshuo doesn't think he will lose, but he will have to compete with others, which will be a bit troublesome.
"Let's cook less food, the two of us can't finish it all." Lin Zhenzhen's voice rang out at this moment, the last syllable rising in pitch, as if she were pleading.
"And it's such a hassle to clean up."
She reached out and scratched the back of his hand restlessly. It was an ambiguous gesture, yet her expression was so focused that no one could find fault with it.
Huo Yeshuo chuckled lightly, his gaze still fixed straight ahead: "It's alright."
"If it were you, you wouldn't find it troublesome."
Huo Yeshuo's residence is a high-end apartment not far from the company.
It's a large, single-level apartment overlooking the river. The living room balcony is about ten square meters, and you can see the rushing river from there. Under the sunlight, it looks like a ribbon shimmering with gold.
Lin Zhenzhen, wearing ill-fitting slippers, began to look around curiously.
These should be fully furnished apartments delivered by the developer. The overall decoration style is highly consistent with the exterior of the community, following a low-key, luxurious, and sophisticated approach.
Huo Yeshuo's own furniture is mostly in simple black, white, and gray tones. Compared with the hard furnishings that exude a strong sense of money, it highlights the coldness in his personality.
Further inside was the bedroom. Lin Zhenzhen intended to stop there, but she saw a round, grayish, unidentified object run quickly across the floor.
"Huo Yeshuo!" Lin Zhenzhen was so startled that she called him by his full name.
"What's wrong?" Huo Yeshuo, wearing an apron, hurriedly came out of the kitchen.
Lin Zhenzhen's hands were trembling. She crawled behind Huo Yeshuo, buried her head in his back, and stammered, "You have a really fat rat in your house."
"A mouse?" Huo Yeshuo was stunned for a moment, then realized, "What you saw should be my cat."
