Gu Xiyan is now living a very down-to-earth and busy life every day, with everything in order. Life seems to be going on monotonously. But if you look closely, you will find that Shang Qi's return time has been getting later and later recently.

  Another night, Gu Xiyan opened the bedroom door and entered the room, Shang Qi had already fallen asleep on the bed. It seemed that he had taken a bath, but his hair was not dry. There were still some water droplets on his hair, and some of them had seeped into the pillow.

  After turning on the hair dryer to test the temperature, Gu Xiyan shook Shang Zhi Qi until he sat up with a drowsy expression.

  "Let me help you blow dry your hair. It'll be fine soon." Gu Xiyan's voice was soft and soothing, with a calming power within. Shang Qi succumbed to such gentleness.

  Her pale hands had just passed through his black and shiny short hair. Gu Xiyan was kneeling on the bed, the hot air emanating from the blow dryer in her hand gently swept over Shang Yueqi's forehead, and he fell asleep again.

  It feels about right. Gu Xiyan turned off the hair dryer. After replacing Shang Yi's pillow with her own, she finally let him fall asleep.

  After tidying up, Gu Xiyan went to the bathroom to wash up. The faint scent of toothpaste still lingered on her lips and teeth. After getting ready, she took a new pillow from the closet before turning off the lights and resting.

  In the darkness, Shang Yu's breathing was even and rhythmic. Gu Xiyan reached out from under the covers and took his hand, and he instinctively held hers back.

  She smiled quietly and raised her body to peck him on the cheek, saying softly: "Good night."

  Gu Xiyan woke up at 6:30 in the morning. At that time, Wen Hou, who was holding her hand, had disappeared. When she got up and went downstairs, Shang Yi was preparing to go out.

  "Sorry, I've made breakfast already. Been busy these days and neglected you." He tightly hugged Gu Xiyan, who was wrapped in her sleepwear, to his chest. Shang Qi's masculine aura enveloped her entirely.

  His guilt. She understood. Hugged him tightly. Gu Xiyuan softly and gently told him it was okay.

  After hugging each other for a while, Shang Qi gave Gu Xiyan a gentle peck on the forehead. "Yan'er doesn't have class today, go back to sleep for now and get up later to go to work."

  "Uh-huh." She knew he was leaving. Gu Xiyan cleverly responded with a sentence.

  Gu Xiyan almost arrived late for work. The result of sleeping in was that Gu Xiyan didn't get up until 8:10. And the company's working hours started at 8:30. Fortunately, Xiao Yatou was also considerate. After instructing Xiao Yatou on what to do in the morning, Gu Xiyan hastily drank a bowl of porridge and set off.

  She hailed a taxi and rushed to Hua Teng. All the way, Gu Xiyan was nervous and worried that she might be late. After all, Hua Teng is a big company, and she didn't want to lose this job that suited her taste.

  As she entered the office, Gu Xiyan patted her chest to catch her breath. When Shao Yuan saw her, he looked at her sideways and said coldly, "Hey, little Xiyan, you're exhausted so early in the morning. Did your heart disease act up?"

  "Xiao Yuanzi, I'm fine." Gu Xiyen put her bag on her own seat just as the bell for work hours rang out on the floor.

  The workload in the morning was not much. Gu Xiyan still collaborated with Shao Yuan. Their way of getting along had almost become fixed. It was nothing more than laughing and scolding, plus completing what needed to be done without delay.

  After eleven o'clock in the morning, the two of them finished all the work for the day ahead of schedule.

  "Xiao Yanzi, now Xiao Ye believes that sentence." Shao Yuan suddenly shook his head and said: "Men and women work together, not tired. Confucius really has foresight."

  "This isn't something Confucius would say. How uncultured." Gu Xiyan said with a smile.

  "Is that so? I thought only Confucius could say something as philosophical as that." Shao Yuan slapped his forehead in dismay.

  "Alright, that's it. Today's tasks are all done. Can I take the afternoon off? Thinking of Little Ya at home alone, Gu Xiyan felt a bit guilty. Last weekend she wasn't at home with Little Guy either. If this week is still like this..."

  "Hey, Xiao Yanzi, you want to take a leave? How can you take a leave?" As soon as Shao Yuan heard Gu Xiyan's words, her doll-like face suddenly puffed up with anger. Gu Xiyan couldn't help but laugh at the sight.

  "My daughter is alone at home over the weekend with no one to accompany her. I want to go back and keep her company." Gu Xiyan said straightforwardly.

  "Really? Then I'll go to your house and keep her company." Shao Yuan made a decision in an instant, still making faces at Gu Xiyan.

  But things didn't go as he wished. Not long after Shao Yuan finished speaking, his phone started ringing with the tune "You Are My One in a Lifetime".

  After going out to answer a phone call and coming back, Shao Yuan spread his hands and looked very depressed. "Xiao Yanzhi, we can't go today after all. It's really a pity. I originally wanted to go to your house."

  "There will be other opportunities." Gu Xiyan could only laugh awkwardly upon hearing this.

  "Besides, Xiǎo Yànzi, if you don't want to come this afternoon, then don't bother coming. I'll let Zhao Yanlan know and it won't affect your perfect attendance record." He pulled up a chair and sat down beside Gu Xīyǎn. Shào Yuán was playing with Gu Xīyǎn's computer in an disgruntled manner.

  "Huh? You're playing over there." Gu Xiyan saw Shao Yuan start playing an online game and couldn't help but be speechless. This was during work hours, and the computer in front of her was the one she needed to use.

  "Stop arguing, Xiaoyanzi. Why don't we play together?" Shao Yuan tapped away at the keyboard with a flurry of clicks, and before long, the words "Game Cleared" appeared on the computer screen.

  "I'm not interested in this. And the game's graphics are too flashy, it hurts my eyes." Gu Xiyan sighed. This guy is really hard to deal with.

  I didn't expect Shao Yuan to hear Gu Xiyan say that, but he moved his hand and turned off the game in an instant. "Little Xiyan, what are you interested in? There's still almost an hour before we get off work. We have to find something to do." Shao Yuan lazily raised his eyes, his tone very drawling. "Hey, if you were my wife, we could even create some office romance here, steal a kiss and touch each other secretly, it would be pretty exciting too. But who wants you anyway?"

  "Not yet" rather than "not".

  Gu Xiyan didn't notice the individual words in Shao Yuan's sentence, thinking he was just joking. "Alright, stop showing off. You're also bold enough to slack off during work hours."

  "Xiao Yanzi, what I'm doing is not considered slacking off. Our department's rules have always been to finish your work and then you can do whatever you want as long as it doesn't affect others and you don't leave early. I haven't violated our department's spirit at all." Shao Yuan picked up the water on Gu Xiyan's desk and took a sip, looking at her with an expression that said "you don't know".

  "Little Yuan, you picked up the wrong water cup. This one is mine." Gu Xiyan took the water cup from Shao Yuan's hand and put it down. After thinking for a moment, she retorted: "You said don't affect others, but your behavior has already seriously affected me."

  Gu Xiyan's righteous words were struck back by Shao Yuan with the sentence "Do we count as others?" Knowing that the person next to her wasn't someone to be trifled with, Gu Xiyan directly took action in protest. After retrieving her mouse, Gu Xiyan listlessly opened a webpage to browse.

  Suddenly thought of something. Gu Xiyan doubted: "Xiao Yuanzi, didn't you say last time that your best skill is programming? What other amazing skills do you have? Let me see it."

  "Hey, okay. Let me show you my skills." Shao Yuan said as he asked Gu Xiuyan to release the mouse. His fingers moved nimbly and quickly found a website to start invading.

  Shao Yuan hacked into a website in less than twenty minutes. When he was done, he sneered: "How's that? Am I awesome or what?"

  "Hmm, not bad." Gu Xiyan observed for a moment. Fortunately, it was an illegitimate website. It's gone, and that's good for the internet environment.

  "Not bad, huh? Want me to teach you? My skills are usually not taught to outsiders, but I'll make an exception for you today." Shao Yuan swung his arms and loosened up his muscles generously.

  "No need. I can do this too." She caught a glimpse of Shaoyuan's face, which was filled with utter disbelief. Gu Xiyen didn't explain further, instead she let her actions speak for themselves.

  Found a yellow website in the same way. Gu Xiyan was serious and it was more serious. In just over ten minutes, another illegal website system collapsed.

  Shaoyuan Qi was still a bit careless at first, but later on, his eyes widened in surprise. Tsk, tsk, this speed, this ability... compared to him, although he didn't want to admit it, it's really not one bit worse! And what's more, this girl is even stronger than him!

  "Xiao Yuanzi, we've taken down two websites in half an hour. The people behind those sites must hate us to death." A wicked glint flashed in Gu Xiyan's eyes, excitement and joy mingling together.

  Being a hacker is actually a very loving thing.

  "Xiao Yanzi, I underestimated you." For the first time, Shaoyuan saw a fierce glint in Gu Xiyun's eyes. He couldn't help but be stunned. He had thought she was just a gentle and playful person who didn't have any strong preferences. Now it seemed that she also had her own interests, and they were quite unusual.

  "You also surprised me." Gu Xiyan replied.

  "But, to be honest, this level of technology is not that top-notch. After all, the defense systems of these two websites are not even worth mentioning among insiders. Xiaoyanzi, have you ever infiltrated a big company? Some big companies' defense systems are really unbeatable. Like ours at Huateng. I guarantee that anyone who dares to infiltrate us will be dead for sure." Shao Yuan said with great pride.

  "Little Yuanzi, isn't the company's defense mechanism set up by you?" Gu Xiyan asked with a careless smile. Unexpectedly, she got a affirmative answer from Shao Yuan.

  "That's natural. How about it? Admire me." Shao Yuan raised his chin, a proud smile playing on the corners of his lips.

  "Our company, I wouldn't dare to intrude. I still want to stay here safely. However, I did indeed intrude into a large company once and stole data from inside." Gu Xiyan saw that there were only ten minutes left until the end of work, so she shut down her computer and packed up her things.

  "Cut, you can be stolen data. The defense of that company is definitely not good." Shao Yuan was very disdainful of Gu Xiyan's company. "If it were Huateng, you would definitely have no way to survive."

  Shao Yuan's words made Hua Teng feel at ease, while Gu Xiyan just smiled and casually said, "I guess my skills aren't up to par yet. It took me over two hours to infiltrate Sheng Da's system back then."

  Sheng Da. Shao Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

  "Xiao Yanzi, where is Sheng Da?" Shaoyuan's tone was slightly trembling.

  Gu Xiyan didn't bother to listen carefully either. She replied succinctly, "It's that family that was suspected of money laundering recently. Xiao Yuanzi, remember not to mention it outside, I don't want any trouble."

  The bell rang suddenly, signaling the end of work. Gu Xiyan slung her bag over her shoulder and smiled as she bid farewell to Shao Yuan. "Xiao Yuanzi, remember to help me ask for leave. See you."

  "Goodbye." Gu Xiyan walked up the stairs and left. She wouldn't know. Behind her, a subtle and mature expression appeared on Shao Yuan's doll-like face, completely inconsistent with his appearance.

  Why is it you?

  All his strength seemed to have been drained away. Shao Yuan's entire body slid down into the chair.
