At 3 a.m., the landmines in front of the station

【that……】

She began to put her mind to it again.

"Ok?"

Hey, do you usually eat sweets?

Quite suddenly, he asked a question that had nothing to do with the game.

Su Che thought for a moment and nodded, "I usually don't eat, but if I'm eating with others, I can eat a little."

So, do you like chocolate?

"chocolate?"

【Uh-huh!】

"I really like it. Sometimes when I'm working in the morning, I drink an Americano and like to have a piece of dark chocolate with it. The bittersweet combination is very satisfying."

Ah...dark chocolate...?

"what happened?"

Don't you like white chocolate...?

"Oh, that's too sweet. I haven't had it much."

Is that so...?

"Yeah, but it's okay to eat it occasionally."

Su Che used the art of language to steer the situation back on track.

Although I don't know why Blank asked this question, I can tell that the answer she wants to hear is definitely the former.

"So... if I gave it to you, would you accept it?"

Without warning, she asked that question.

"..."

Su Che pondered for a moment.

Although it was a gift between lovers

But I think, if it's a major investor...

In order to maintain a long-term employment relationship and make money off her... accepting a small gift or something seems...

It's not that it's impossible?

As I thought about it,

He glanced at An Qing beside him subconsciously.

An Qing was drawing on the bed, seemingly unresponsive.

Su Che hesitated for a moment, then decided to be tactful first, and said:

"International shipping isn't very convenient, is it? And if I'm not mistaken, the shipping cost is more expensive than the chocolate itself... and it takes a long time."

His reasons for refusing were quite valid. Usually, if the other party is not very insistent, they would let the matter drop and not bring it up again.

But... Blank didn't follow any set script at all—

No, no, what I meant was, I didn't intend to mail it to you.

"what?"

Su Che was taken aback upon hearing this, "Then how come you..."

I was thinking, once I return to China, could we meet in person so I can give you the "souvenir" in person?

"ha…?"

His voice stopped there.

Anyway, as you can see, I learn things very slowly. If you just teach me online, I'm afraid you'll get impatient... So, I'm planning to charge several times the price for an in-person "special training" session when I fly back to China this summer... You don't have to do anything; I'll come find you, okay?

"No, Blank, do you live in Tianhai?"

No, I'm in Hong Kong, Macau, or Taiwan.

"?? Then what you..."

Don't worry, I have friends at Tianhai, and I used to go to Tianhai to see shows often before I went abroad, like music festivals and live band performances, hehe... I quite enjoy watching live shows, so you don't need to worry~

"..."

Having triggered the keyword, Su Che finally abandoned his intention to continue blocking her.

He knew that for wealthy women like Liu Zi, long-distance relationships, or even international relationships, which are unbearable for most people, were something they could simply ignore.

Since the price of the airdropped item is not a concern for them and cannot be an obstacle to meeting, any sense of distance can be weakened and shortened.

Judging from the blank look on his face, it wasn't just a casual remark, so there was no point in trying to stop him.

"Since that's the case, let's agree on this for now. Let me know in advance so I can reserve the time for you."

He conveyed this message by typing.

And after that,

The blank space has finally regained its former vitality.

The words once again exuded vitality.

...

Time passed second by second.

Su Che spent an afternoon teaching her a lot of advanced construction knowledge in the simplest way possible.

Although she learns slowly, she has absorbed 50% of the information and can replicate the most basic room layout from memory.

Su Che was very satisfied with this positive feedback.

He also proactively mentioned, "If you make progress this week, I can consider taking you to a small server with about 10 people for military training next week. I'll guide you in real combat."

[Is this a real battle?! Is it just the two of us?!]

"Of course. Go to the server with the two-player team limit."

That's great!! I'll definitely work hard!

"Row."

Her energetic demeanor finally put Su Che at ease.

And so, the day's teaching came to an end.

Blank readily paid for four weeks of game boosting services and even gave an extra amount for a milk tea.

Because large transfers require the recipient's name to be filled in, she asked about it.

Su Che gladly sent his name, and now there was no longer any barrier between them via the internet.

-

7 PM.

Su Che slumped in the chair and stretched.

Every time I finish a part-time job or work and earn money, I feel a sense of relief.

It was like finally being able to breathe out the last breath I had been holding, and then my whole body lost all strength.

Seeing how hard he was trying, An Qing couldn't help but feel a little sorry for him.

"Cheche, when you were alone before, did you also work three jobs at the same time?"

She stood in front of the air fryer in the kitchen, picked out a piece of grilled cod with chopsticks, and turned her head to ask.

"Well... I rarely took on companionship jobs before, and they were mostly short-term, one-off deals that didn't earn me much money. After you came, I happened to come across this blank job... and I thought the potential earnings were considerable, so I took it."

He made no attempt to hide anything and spoke frankly.

“But then you won’t have enough time for yourself… It feels like you’re a superman, working from Monday to Sunday without any rest.”

An Qing pondered, "You're already working non-stop before you've even graduated. I can't even imagine how busy you'll be after graduation..."

After observing for a long time, the girl could almost conclude that "he was under constant pressure."

While working hard to earn money might be related to taking good care of oneself, the thought of it makes one want to peck at him.

But the girl knew that she couldn't let herself get carried away yet. It would be best if she could help him share some of the burden and reduce his pressure so that they could go the distance and eventually she could have him completely.

Su Che had no idea what she was thinking about, so he just waved his hand and said, "There's nothing I can do. It's all a matter of personal choice. Some people can retire right after they're born, while others have to work themselves to the bone for a living when they're old, and end up with a lot of illnesses and die in despair."

Personally, although I can guarantee that I won't starve to death right now, my goal is not to avoid starvation, but to live "better" as much as I can. I want someone to know that all the thoughts he has about me are wrong.

All his decisions were wrong.

His prejudice against me was completely wrong.

All these mistakes he made will eventually lead to regret.

That's all I wanted to do. I don't like being dismissed casually by people who don't understand me. I don't like being dismissed with preconceived notions and prejudices.

"Yeah……"

This was the first time An Qing had ever seen such intense hatred in his eyes.

This hatred was impossible to conceal. Although it wasn't directed at him personally, one could still feel the constant stream of malevolent energy emanating from him.

She didn't want to ask who the other person was, so she sensibly put down what she was doing, walked towards him despite his hostility, leaned forward to face him, and stood on tiptoe—

She wrapped her arms around his neck and tilted her head back like a cat, saying, "Okay, whatever Cheche does, I will support you."

【! 】

"Although I don't have any special skills or much power, I will always stand behind you whenever Cheche needs me, helping you with the little things you might not even notice. You just need to look ahead. This is something I've wanted to tell you for a long time."

—"Whispers of the Sun," derived from the afterword, is a core secret technique summarized from the rival cultivation method "The Way of the Spirit."

This method can easily capture the target's heart and give him a great sense of security in a short period of time. It is easy to get him hooked and has a tactical rating of 32.

After being handled like this by the cat, Su Che felt a surge of warmth in his heart. He had to suppress it to resist picking her up in a princess carry and giving her a good rub to vent his affection.
