I am the savior, but I am being asked by Alicia and the others to pay me back.

“I haven’t seen so much money in a long time.”

"Is it so exaggerated?"

Seeing Ye Ming's puzzled look, Ah Ci stepped forward and explained:

"Our studio has been on the brink of bankruptcy for a long time. For a long time, we couldn't even pay salaries, let alone bonuses."

"The money for Keqing to meet you at the Deer Hunter Cafe was pooled together by everyone."

Bronya was also moved:

"I want to buy all the games I added to my wish list a while ago! And there are also a whole shopping cart full of Homunculus figurines that I dare not pay for!"

"Where's Jizi? Do you want to open a bottle of fancy wine?"

Shin joked as he looked for his drinking buddy Himeko:

"Shall we go have a drink together?"

"..."

"Himeko?"

From a while ago, Ji Zi, who was sitting at the desk, had been looking out the window with a dull look, looking absent-minded.

"Ah? Sorry... I was a little distracted. What were you talking about just now?"

"It's a bonus! Nearly 10 yuan! Isn't this just the good wine that I usually don't drink?"

"Well, it's a lot of money, but... I want to drink less during this period."

"what?"

Everyone in the studio was shocked when they heard Ji Zi say this.

"Jizi, you don't have a fever, do you? Do you want to stop drinking?"

"Didn't I say that the other day?"

"We thought you were just joking."

"Yeah, when you're drunk and you're mumbling about quitting drinking, how can you be credible?"

"..."

After being criticized by everyone, Ji Zi didn't say anything. She just lowered her head silently and stared at the lines on her palm in a daze.

"It's okay if we don't drink, let's go somewhere and have some fun this weekend~!"

"Yeah, let's all go out and do some team building!"

I really suggested to liven up the atmosphere in the studio again, but Ji Zi still couldn't fit in.

She clearly had fiery red hair, but at this moment she looked as if she was covered by cold moonlight.

"This weekend... I have a doctor's appointment for a checkup, so I can't join you all."

"Doctor? Jizi, are you sick?"

Speaking of this topic, Kiana, who had been deliberately keeping a distance from Himeko, also looked over.

"It's not a big deal. In the past, when I felt discomfort or pain in my body, I thought it was a small matter and it would go away if I just endured it."

Jizi smiled palely:

"Now that I think about it, it's better to get checked out. If there's something wrong, it will be troublesome if it's delayed to the late stage."

"Jizi is actually maintaining her health?!"

Not only is she addicted to alcohol, she also stays up late and has irregular eating habits... Ji Zi's lifestyle is notoriously bad in the studio.

"I obviously didn't take my body seriously before."

"We have advised you several times but you have not changed. What happened today?"

"Hmph... I guess it's because of my age."

"Kiana!"

Mei hurriedly covered Kiana's little mouth, fearing that Himeko would come over and add two more bumps on Kiana's head.

"Maybe... I'm really getting old."

However, Ji Zi was not angry at all. She smiled at herself with sadness in her eyes.

"..."

This time, no one spoke.

A small abnormality would make them curious, but such a huge contrast would only make everyone think that something serious had happened.

"Ye Ming, come with us."

Everyone left Ji Zi behind, pulled Ye Ming out of the office, and surrounded him.

"what happened?"

"What did you do to Himeko?"

"Could it be... something about H?!"

"Ugh?!"

Originally everyone's questions were quite reliable, but Bronya's words shocked everyone.

"Speaking of H, do you think Ji Zi is pregnant?"

"How is this possible! How can it be so fast?"

Ye Ming couldn't help but complain:

"If you don't believe me, ask Ah Ci. She knows a lot."

"From intimacy to pregnancy, it really won't be that fast, but..."

Although she confirmed Ye Ming's statement, Ah Ci seemed a little embarrassed. She only asked:

"Under normal circumstances, shouldn't you deny H first? Saying it won't happen so soon is the same as admitting H."

I saw some friends asking what PTSD means. It stands for "post-traumatic stress disorder".

You will understand the reason why Ye Ming had this reaction when you read on.

13. The sense of déjà vu in the load field

"Ye Ming! I really didn't expect that!"

"You actually attacked Ji Zi!"

“Ouch! That’s too much!”

"How can you be so rude to us?"

The girls were in very complicated emotions. Shame and anger were naturally evident, but there was also a lot of jealousy in their eyes.

"I didn't do that! Stop talking nonsense!"

"Then why did you say it wouldn't be that fast, instead of denying it?"

"I...I just said the wrong thing accidentally!"

Ye Ming felt a little guilty.

The intimacy with Ji Zi and so on, those were things that happened before the world was reset, so I just blurted it out accidentally.

I didn't expect Aci to be so sensitive and could find the problem with just a casual word.

"In short! Such quibbling cannot be used as evidence to convict a person!"

"What was that about Ji Zi's screams outside the barbecue restaurant that day?"

"It was a test, telling her to drink less. It was a bit painful."

As for taking off Ji Zi's shoes and holding up her thighs, it's better not to talk about these processes.

"Then a few days ago, you called Ji Zi to the recording studio. Was the crime scene there?"

"No! We are working normally on the new main plot...Ah!"

As he spoke, Ye Ming seemed to know the reason why Ji Zi was acting abnormally.

"Could it be that the plot of the game has affected Ji Zi's mood?"

"The plot of the game?"

Kiana, who originally had no intention of joining in, was suspicious:

“Can a game’s plot be this powerful?”

"It depends on the situation. Some people don't care, but some people really care."

"Aunt Jizi is really something. She is still obsessed with fictional stories and even calls me immature."

"Because Kiana is a single-celled organism, she doesn't feel anything," Bronya complained.

"Hmph, whatever you say, I definitely won't be affected by the plot of the game."

After leaving this confident declaration, Kiana left.

"Kiana is still as thick-skinned as ever."

"Really? I think Kiana will flip out."

"You don't understand Kiana at all, Ye Ming."

Bronya vowed:

"No matter how shocking the plot of the game is, it will not have any impact on a single-celled animal like her."

"Do you want to make a bet with me?" Ye Ming suggested.

"Okay, if I win, I'll be allowed to bring the Hom's Family Bucket to my workstation."

"What if you lose?"

"Um……"

Bronya looked at her skinny body, then looked at the sisters around her, and said unconvincedly:

"When my body develops to their size, I will date you."

"Ahem?"

Hearing Bronya's words, the girls hugged their plump chests with blushing faces.

However, looking at Bronya's petite figure, no one paid much attention to her bet and just thought that Bronya and Ye Ming were playing a joke.

"Compared to these, Ye Ming, you should go talk to Ji Zi."

"Well, I'll talk to her after get off work to confirm the situation."

·····························

That evening, the girls were concerned about Himeko's condition.

Kiana said she wasn't interested, but she kept peeking in while he was working.

"Ye Ming, I heard them say that you have something to talk to me about?"

When it was time to get off work, Ji Zi came to Ye Ming, she still looked absent-minded.

"Jizi, you have been acting a little abnormal these past two days. Is it because of the previous plot that has affected you?"

"Did you figure it out?"

A blush appeared on Jizi's face.

"It's quite embarrassing that I, an adult, would be upset by a fictional story."

"If the new plot makes you uncomfortable, we can make some appropriate adjustments."

"No, don't do that."
