Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

Kiana remembered her mother's words well: the most important thing was to let Sirin experience her own feelings and not let her words affect her.

"Really? That's how you see Ah Yu?"

With her gaze lowered, Sirin softly called out, "Kiana."

"Ok?"

Just as she was expecting Xilin to be straightforward with her, she heard the other person say, "So, you really do like Ayu, don't you?"

Kiana: "?"

Last night, after listening to Kiana's conversation with her mother, the huge impact left Sirin's mind in a daze for a moment.

Kiana also likes Yu? What kind of joke is this?!

It's so strange that two sisters can both like the same person.

Oh, right, Seele and Duck don't count. They were practically raised to be super popular, so their favorability is naturally maxed out.

Unlike Kiana, who is always positive and optimistic, Sirin's first thought at this moment was to back down.

She only had a slight liking for Ayu, and the fact that they had been separated for a year, along with the time and distance, and the praise from Xier and the others, created a beautiful filter for her.

Honestly, how could I possibly like my friend's boyfriend? It must have been just my imagination.

Her mind was filled with these chaotic thoughts, and at that moment Kiana came out of the room and faced her.

So, Sirin recounted the conversation from that evening, hoping to create an opportunity for Kiana.

But after she went back to her room and lay on the bed to calm down, she got angrier and angrier the more she thought about it!

Of course, she was angry at herself for being useless.

Just like after every argument, he silently reviews the situation alone, recalling his bizarre actions, and the pufferfish is so angry it's about to burst.

How could I have been so useless just now?!

Having finally met a guy named Ayu who seemed alright, why was she even thinking of creating opportunities for Kiana?

As for the large number of people?

Didn't you hear what Kiana just said?

They grew up in two long-established and closely connected families; this kind of thing is all too common.

Seeing Kiana's feigned ignorance, Sirin was immediately furious: "Kiana, stop pretending. I heard everything last night."

"yesterday?"

Kiana was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized: "You were eavesdropping outside yesterday?!"

"Eavesdropping? Don't put it so harshly! I just happened to overhear it when I was passing by. It's your fault for not closing the door properly!!"

After being exposed, Xilin blushed a little, but still stubbornly argued her way out of it.

"Tsk, never mind, none of that matters. The friend I mentioned yesterday wasn't me!"

"Ha~"

Xilin sneered, not believing a single word of those words.

Seeing this, Kiana panicked and quickly explained, "I actually noticed something was wrong with you yesterday, so I went back to talk to Mom! I mentioned having a friend because I didn't want to expose you, but how could you take my good intentions as, what, what kind of liver and lungs?!"

"Ha, keep making things up, keep making things up."

With her arms crossed, Sirin quietly watched Kiana's performance.

"You, you, you, you! You're driving me crazy! You idiot!!!"

"You're the idiot!!"

You're an idiot!

You're an idiot!

"..."

Leaving aside the twin sisters who were already arguing, on the other side, Seele, who had just finished brushing her teeth, was already excitedly starting to pack her luggage with her brother.

Chapter 126 Bronya felt confident.

On a small island in southern China, Nangong Yu, wearing only swimming trunks, was leisurely sunbathing on a beach chair.

Feeling the pleasant temperature, he suddenly understood why many northerners like to spend their winters in the south.

Who could resist sunbathing on the beach in the dead of winter, wearing swim trunks and with an ice pop in their mouth?

Seele first went to build a sandcastle, but it was easily washed away by a wave. She then angrily threw down her little shovel and ran over to cling to him, refusing to leave.

While traveling as a couple is pleasant, it also lacks a bit of liveliness.

For example, right now, her brother is lying in the chair and doesn't want to move. Xi'er can't find anyone to play with, so she can only lie down next to him, squeeze his hand, draw on his body with her fingertips, and occasionally peek out to snatch a bite of ice cream.

After a while, Xier didn't want to move anymore, so she simply pulled her brother's arm away and lay in his arms to watch him scroll through his phone.

"What is brother looking at?"

He leaned closer and looked at the long string of words on the phone screen, suddenly feeling a little confused.

"It's nothing, just some meeting minutes."

After stuffing the last popsicle into Seele's little mouth, Nangong Yu swiped his phone and explained, "The Pokémon team's weekly meeting, and the production progress of Iori and the others. The Pokémon team is proceeding as planned, so there's no need to worry. But we need to pay more attention to Iori and the others."

"Hmm, do you need Seele's help?"

"That's not necessary."

He rolled over and pulled Seele into his arms, feeling the soft warmth of their skin pressed together. He put down his phone, lowered his head, kissed Seele, and then closed his eyes.

"Things weren't too troublesome, we've almost finished dealing with them. It's time to rest for a bit, Seele, let me hug you for a while~"

After saying that, he yawned softly.

Xi'er hugged her brother back. She had been sleeping well every night for the past few days, and now, without feeling sleepy at all, she began to gently pat her brother's back, just like she was coaxing a child to sleep.

Noticing that her brother's breathing quickly became even, Seele stopped what she was doing, thought for a moment, and then reached out to take out her phone.

I adjusted the angle in my brother's arms, turned on the camera, and took several pictures of the two of them.

Then she quickly opened the chat software, found the family group chat, and sent all the photos out at once.

According to the schedule, Bronya and Kaguya should both be off work and resting by now, so I can share this with them~

......

On the other side, Bronya, exhausted after a long day, gripped her phone tightly.

I'm so tired and I can't even go home, what does this little Xi'er mean by posting these things?

show off?!!

Seeing her and Yu embracing each other, lying comfortably on the beach chair, a nameless anger suddenly welled up in Bronya's heart.

Alright, alright, so you're going to play like this? You just wait!

However, the thought of the game's progress made her feel like a bucket of cold water had been poured over her head.

The game content wasn't finalized until today.

It wasn't that the subordinates were disobedient, but rather that there was a disagreement about the game's direction. After it was decided that it would be an action game, some people felt that the story and gameplay needed to be combined, while others felt that there wasn't enough time and that the focus should be on refining the combat and how to make the game more enjoyable for players.

After much debate, a result has finally been reached: the second option won by a narrow margin.

2D side-scrolling action + roguelike, also known as action rogue.

All you need to do is set a simple background, add a variety of selectable weapons, equipment, and skills, and make the battles enjoyable for everyone!

This kind of pure joy is what most people need.

But thanks to this, their return home may be delayed by a few more days. They can't do what that freak Nangong Yu does, who can easily design the entire game. Instead, it's more like the daily routine for all game companies: meticulously checking for omissions and filling in the gaps.

Beside her, Kaguya's expression was somewhat different; she even seemed pleased as she looked at the photos.

The two are currently roommates. Bronya asked Kaguya with a puzzled look, "Kaguya, aren't you angry?"

"Huh? Why are you angry?"

"It's Seele. She's been traveling all over the world with Rain, while we're stuck here working. And now she's posting photos and showing off. Don't you think that's going too far?"

Upon hearing this, Kaguya gently shook her head and replied somewhat embarrassedly, "It should be nothing. Seeing Seele share with us every day actually makes me quite happy."

"..."

Okay, let's forget that this guy's thought process is different from ordinary people.

Having abandoned her idea of ​​joining Kaguya in condemning Seele, Bronya got down to business: "By the way, how's the investigation going with the people we sent to Rain today?"

Although there were only three newcomers on Rain's side, and although Rain himself hadn't come, Bronya and Kaguya didn't dare to let their guard down at all. From the very first day, they secretly sent people over there to gather intelligence.

While it was called "inquiry," it was really just taking advantage of the time to go to the bathroom or get water to secretly peek at their computers. After all, three people wouldn't warrant a separate office for them; everyone's workstations were still quite close together, and they could see each other just a few steps away.

After a moment's thought, Kaguya spoke slowly, her voice somewhat uncertain: "Based on the reports from those people who have observed and eavesdropped on their meetings these past few days, it seems that what my husband is preparing to do this time is just a simple puzzle game?"

"Based on the footage, there seem to be some chibi-style anthropomorphic plants and some chibi-style little zombies, and then there doesn't seem to be anything else."

"What is this?"

Bronya frowned in confusion.

Kaguya shook her head, indicating she didn't understand, and muttered a small complaint: "You can't exactly use these plants to fight zombies, can you?"

Bronya couldn't help but laugh and added, "How can plants fight zombies? Will any players actually be willing to pay for this kind of game?"

Besides, puzzle games are inherently difficult to stand out, so why would Yu choose this kind?

Is it simply arrogance?

Thinking of this, Bronya immediately shook her head.

No, no, no, you can't think like that. If he can design something like Pokémon, who knows how he might be able to create something amazing with this theme?

We still need to continue observing; we cannot let our guard down.

Even Sugisaki Ken and the others probably didn't know how much psychological pressure the things the three newcomers were tinkering with every day were putting on the other production team of fifty people.

If we win, everyone will be happy; if we lose, it will be truly shameful.
