She is my childhood sweetheart, how could I not understand her?

Chapter 398: Interview? Advice? Extortion!

"Why are you staring at me like that? It's making me feel uneasy." While eating the lovingly prepared lunch his girlfriend had brought back, Chen Shen secretly glanced at the girl who had been staring at him ever since they returned and couldn't help but ask.

"What are you feeling guilty about?"

"Huh?" Chen Shen looked confused. What could he possibly feel guilty about?

Xu Suiyou seemed oblivious to Chen Shen's confusion. She suddenly pulled a small bag from her pocket, placed it on the table, and then looked at Chen Shen with her hand supporting her chin.

"How about you eat one of these and I treat you to KFC?"

Chen Shen put down his spoon and curiously opened the plastic bag in front of him.

The sight of garlic cloves made Chen Shen's pupils shrink. He quickly pulled his hand back, then grabbed a tissue to separate his hand from the plastic bag, pushing the bag containing the garlic cloves far away.

Then, he looked speechlessly at the smiling Xu Suiyou.

"You're sick, aren't you?"

Before Xu Suiyou could answer, Liu Yujie, who was startled by Chen Shen's series of actions, came over.

"You really hate garlic that much?"

"Ah."

"Can't I even look at it?"

Chen Shen glanced at the plastic bag containing garlic cloves that he had already pushed far away, and sighed: "Back in junior and senior high school, just looking at it made me nauseous. It's a bit better now, but the smell still makes me nauseous."

"Physiological?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen a doctor." Chen Shen shook his head, took another piece of paper, pushed the plastic bag containing garlic cloves further away, and then turned to look at Xu Suiyou with a dissatisfied expression, "Why did you bring this back?"

"Well, think about it, you wouldn't even eat cabbage back in junior high, but you can eat it now, right? If you train yourself, maybe you can get rid of this picky eating habit?"

"No way, I'd rather die than eat that!"

Xu Suiyou smiled helplessly. Qin Yu's question had indeed stumped her, but upon closer reflection, the reason was actually quite simple.

That is, she simply couldn't solve Chen Shen's picky eating problem.

This kid is genuinely nauseous, not just simply dislikes it, so he's going on a hunger strike.

Moreover, the solutions she could think of had already been thought of by Aunt Wu and the others.

Even Aunt Wu couldn't change it, so even if she were a reborn person, she couldn't change it.

"Okay, okay, I won't pressure you."

Chen Shen looked at Xu Suiyou, then at the rice bowl in his hand, and then, with a suspicious look, he brought his nose close to sniff it.

Although he couldn't smell any garlic, he didn't dare eat the rice because of Xu Suiyou's actions earlier.

"Hey!" Xu Suiyou said, clearly annoyed.

Chen Shen pursed his lips, pushed the rice bowl further away, and then picked up his phone.

"Never mind, I'll just order takeout."

"ah!"

Chen Shen remained silent, only pressing the buttons on his phone.

Xu Suiyou was helpless. She turned to look at the dumbfounded Qin Yu and spread her hands.

"Now you understand why I can't control Chen Shen's picky eating, right?"

Qin Yu nodded repeatedly. This seemed to be the first time she had ever seen Chen Shen disobey Xu Suiyou.
So why would Chen Shen, who dotes on Sui Sui so much, rebel against her over a meal?

It's clear that Chen Shen's pickiness is far from ordinary; simple methods simply can't change his habit.

"Oh, right, Qin Yu, haven't you been getting enough rest lately?" Chen Shen, who hadn't been paying much attention to Sui Sui's conversation with Qin Yu, looked at Teacher Qin with concern after ordering takeout.

Qin Yu was surprised that Chen Shen would ask her this question, and after a moment of surprise, she shook her head.

"No."

"Your dark circles are a bit scary."

"Ah~ it just looks a little scary, I get enough sleep every day." Qin Yu quickly replied, while also pulling Sui Sui to help her prove it.

"Every year can bear witness!"

"Huh? Well, your dark circles are indeed a bit scary. You've arranged a lot of work for her?" Xu Suiyou looked at Chen Shen.

Chen Shen waved his hand: "In short, don't work so hard. You're doing too much. From now on, you can leave work no later than 11 p.m.."

"what!?"

"It's settled then. I'm the boss, so listen to me."

Chen Shen waved his hand domineeringly, setting the new rules.

Because it was a reordered takeout, Chen Shen ate lunch later than everyone else.

So while everyone else had finished eating and started working, Chen Shen was just starting to eat the KFC he had ordered for himself.

Seeing Chen Shen eating with great relish, Xu Suiyou suddenly wondered if Chen Shen was simply pretending to dislike the rice bowl because he wanted KFC.

The more Xu Suiyou thought about it, the more she realized it made sense, and she poked her boyfriend with her little hand in annoyance.

"what?"

"It's okay, I'm just poking you."

Chen Shen looked completely bewildered, but still affectionately fed Sui Sui a piece of crispy chicken.

Xu Suiyou didn't stand on ceremony with Chen Shen, and took a big bite out of most of the chicken, her pretty little face puffed up.

"By the way, are we leaving the day after tomorrow?"

After taking a sip of his drink, Liu Yujie turned to look at Chen Shen and asked curiously.

Chen Shen nodded, and his eating of the hamburger slowed down.

After swallowing the hamburger in his mouth with cola, Chen Shen looked at Xu Suiyou again.

"Are you really going?"

"Hmm~ I'll go with you, aren't you happy?"

In the end, Xu Suiyou still chose to accompany Chen Shen on a trip abroad.

The most important thing for [Chuxin STUDIO] in December is naturally the upcoming TGA annual awards ceremony.

However, although TGA is hailed as the Oscars of the gaming industry, its popularity in China is only lukewarm.

Only a small group of gamers who enjoy single-player games and are keen on following industry news are aware of this award.

After all, the vast majority of Chinese people still prefer online games or mobile games.

But I'll definitely go. After all, there aren't many award ceremonies in the gaming industry that have any real prestige. Although TGA is a media award, it still has some value.

Although they will most likely have no harvest this year.

This new work is no less impressive than the nominated works of the same genre, both in terms of quality and sales.

But it's a Western media award.
If you don't pay protection money, how can they give you rewards?
Yes, on the very night he received the nomination, some foreign media outlets approached him under the guise of conducting interviews, demanding protection money.

The first company to approach them was a game consulting firm called Sweet Baby.

After a series of communications, Chen Shen directly blocked the company.

Damn it, this is a card-based roguelike game, and the company actually asked him about the sexual orientation and gender of two characters in the game.

What the hell does this have to do with games?!

After he explicitly stated that these elements were unimportant, the company went even further, suggesting that adding these features to game characters would make them more popular with Western players.

Chen Shen wasn't stupid; he understood the subtext.

Adding it will be popular, but what if we don't add it?
Interview? Advice?
blackmail!
