she really hates

But not working is not okay.

At most, Meng Xi could only use the boss's privilege of not needing to clock in, dawdling for a while before leaving.

She still had a shareholder meeting scheduled in the morning; Song Zhiyi was not idle, and was going to pack up and fly abroad in the afternoon.

Meng Xi has just made a girlfriend, and will be forced to "exotic relationship" for a long time, and can only meet through video calls.

Song Zhiyi dials the video whenever he is free.

Meng Xi was still approving documents in the company, and when she received a video call from her, she put up her phone.

After the connection, the screen was first covered by something, it was black, the car roared, the music broadcasted on the street, a foreign language was spoken from a distance, and the wind was blowing, and then the camera shook, showing a bright street night scene.

Song Zhiyi didn't show his face, and there was a soft smile in the voice from outside the screen: "Girlfriend, do you want to guess where I am?"

There is no need to guess.

Meng Xi said: "The capital of country A. I got tired of seeing this street when I was in college. Don't take pictures of the scenery. How can the scenery be as beautiful as yours?"

Her sweet talk is so easy to come by, her face won't even blush.

Song Zhiyi has gotten used to listening these days, she smiled helplessly, and turned the camera to point at herself.

In the background are the passing crowd and vehicles, as well as the glittering shop decorations on the street. After the lens is focused, they all blur into deep and shallow streamers, which serve as a foil for her smiling.

Song Zhiyi only put on a windbreaker jacket over the chiffon long skirt with square collar and long sleeves. The night wind blew up her loose hair. She pinned the hair around her ears to the back, revealing the lace ribbon tied around her slender neck. The end of the bow hangs down, resting on the slender collarbone.

Meng Xi couldn't help thinking of the choker he saw when he was shopping with Mrs. Meng two days ago.

The black soft leather, which is less than two fingers wide, and the golden butterflies dotted on the elastic buckle are about to fly, reflecting the cold glare in the light of the display window.

Meng Xi always likes to look at such trinkets, and if she doesn't wear them, she thinks they will strangle her neck.

Now I suddenly realized that she has a girlfriend!Bought for my girlfriend to let her wear and play, it is pleasing to the eye and can enhance the relationship.

...It's a pity that my girlfriend is not around, so any ideas are useless.

Meng Xi regretfully pressed the newly awakened new hobby, and noticed Song Zhiyi's clothes, "Why are you wearing so little, is it cold?"

Song Zhiyi said: "It's not that cold here. It's your place. I see that the weather forecast will be below zero for the past two days."

"It's okay, I've been in the house all day, and I can't freeze."

Even though I said that, but being remembered by my girlfriend all the time, and not forgetting to read the weather forecast here when I go abroad, this kind of thought alone is very precious.

Meng Xi unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, chatting with Song Zhiyi while working.

Even if it’s just to exchange the trivial things in their lives, like Sprite ate the snacks in the cabinet this morning and left paper towels all over the floor, the hotel where they stayed had cactus on the balcony, or Meng Xi complained about the domestic stand-alone computer. The market is really sluggish, and client games are not making any money, so few companies are willing to develop large-scale client games...

It seems that because of the different objects of sharing, even the ordinary daily life becomes interesting everywhere.

Meng Xi said, and asked her where she went shopping before.

"Leave it a secret for now."

Song Zhiyi's soft brows and eyes slightly curved, and he made a "shh" gesture, "I'll tell you when we meet next time."

see you next time...

Meng Xi counted, and based on Song Zhiyi's tight work schedule, he should be returning home by the end of next month.

She really wanted to speed up the time and fast forward to the day of meeting.

But I also feel that even if we miss each other across such a long distance, there is something beautiful that is worth staying for time.

It was like this that he walked to the hotel, and there happened to be a phone call from Meng Xi, so he hung up the video call with her for the time being.

It's Su Yuan's call.

Meng Xi was a little surprised.She thought it was a work contact - although Su Yuan would call often, but she usually thoughtfully chose it after the working hours were over.

Is something wrong?

Meng Xi connected immediately without delay.

"Hello, Su Yuan?"

"... Xixi." There was a slight silence on the other end of the receiver, and Su Yuan's hesitant voice came, "I heard about you and Song Zhiyi... Is that true?"

Meng Xi's first reaction was that Han Yuming told her.After all, although she did not cover up her relationship with Song Zhiyi, she did not deliberately publicize it either.

In addition, his girlfriend went abroad to work as soon as he fell in love, and he didn't even have a chance to go out on a date to show his affection. Except for Han Yuming, no one really knew that the two of them were together.

But when she thought about it carefully, although Han Yuming was a little short, he was not someone who would gossip about friends everywhere, even if this person was Su Yuan, who also had a good relationship with her.

Meng Xi couldn't help asking: "Where did you hear this?"

Could it be that she was so obvious before that the whole world knew that something was wrong between them?

"Isn't it?" Su Yuan seemed relieved, "That's good, you were not photographed like that before, I thought..."

oh.Meng Xi remembered.

The previous time it was on the hot search, Meng Xi quickly pressed the contact down.Su Yuan was abroad, so he probably didn't know anything at the time.

But the trending search is not for nothing. It is estimated that someone who knows her or Song Zhiyi saved the photo, passed it around and finally passed it to Su Yuan.

"It's true." Meng Xi only hesitated for a moment before admitting straightforwardly, "I'm dating Song Zhiyi."

"..."

At that time, Song Zhiyi said that she would not hide anything, and of course Meng Xi had no intention of hiding anyone, and answered when asked.

"You..." Su Yuan didn't speak for a while, "Xixi, do you know what you are doing?"

"Do you object?"

"...Should I agree?"

"I didn't know you were against homosexuality."

Meng Xi said so.

But she knew in her heart that this was not the case, and she had expected it - Su Yuan didn't like Song Zhiyi.

It's not that I hate it, it's just that I don't like it.

She told Meng Xi not to embarrass Song Zhiyi in the past, rather than resolving conflicts, she was more inclined to simply not want Meng Xi and Song Zhiyi to be enemies.

Meng Xi could somewhat understand her complicated feelings towards Song Zhiyi.

This is also the reason why she told Han Yuming immediately after she and Song Zhiyi got together, but didn't specifically notify Su Yuan.

Meng Xi had imagined such a scene before he decided to associate with Song Zhiyi.

She said that to consider is to seriously consider.

"I'm sorry, Su Yuan." Meng Xi said sincerely, "It's normal for you to be unhappy. But after thinking about it carefully, I really like her and want to be with her, and I won't let her go easily."

"...You don't need to apologize."

Su Yuan smiled wryly, "Xixi, I'm your friend, and I won't oppose you."

But it won't support either.

Meng Xi heard what she meant, but heaved a sigh of relief.That's enough.

Two days later, it was Saturday, and Meng Xi took the dog back to Meng's house.

Recently, Mrs. Meng and her little sister went on a tour around Europe, and they would not be able to come back for two or three months. Father Meng and Meng Zhao were not the type to stay at home often, and the house was much deserted as far as the naked eye could see.

When Meng Xi was playing with the dog in the living room in a loose sportswear, he received a call from Song Zhiyi.

"Surprise."

Song Zhiyi's voice on the other end of the phone was still tepid when delivering the surprise.

But Meng Xi immediately pushed Sprite away and became happy: "It's really a surprise, didn't you say that there will be a temporary additional concert today?"

"Well... I lied to you."

Song Zhiyi's voice was separated from the phone, with a vague smile, "Girlfriend, are you busy now? Do you want to come out and see me?"

Meng Xi froze for a moment, understood her meaning in a flash, and stood up from the sofa.

"I'm coming now!"

Compared with the real ancestral house, the villa where the Meng family lives now does not occupy a large area, but when Meng Xi ran out today, he felt that the road to the gate was too long.

Parked outside the gate was Song Zhiyi's white car, and on the hood was a small pink flower that Meng Xi had scribbled on a whim, adding a bit of childish cuteness.

As soon as Meng Xi walked to the front of the car, the rear door opened.

Song Zhiyi sat inside, looking at her with a gentle smile, like stars falling from her eyes.

Meng Xi got in, closed the car door and asked her, "Why did you come back all of a sudden?" Then he said, "I'm so stupid. Actually, you should be allowed to drive in. Just come in and have a seat."

Song Zhiyi said, "Next time. I can only stay for a while, and I have to catch a plane later."

Meng Xi paused.

She originally thought that there was a temporary change in Song Zhiyi's itinerary, but now that she heard this, she knew that she came back to China during a break from work, just to meet and chat for ten minutes.

Stupid or not?

Meng Xi couldn't help feeling distressed when she thought that she would have to fly for more than ten hours to and fro, and couldn't even rest well.

There is also some sour and soft affection, which makes Meng Xi want to hug and kiss her.

Song Zhiyi didn't give her this chance.She took out a gift bag and handed it to Meng Xi.

"I told you before, and I will tell you when we meet."

"A gift you bought?"

Meng Xi unpacked the elegant paper box inside, and inside the box was a familiar handbook. The cover was a swinging pocket watch with strangely shaped hands that could be moved.

"Isn't this the peripherals of "Magic Detective"? It's still on sale now?"

Meng Xi was surprised.

"Magic Detective" is a stand-alone game of suspense and puzzle solving. It was released more than ten years ago. After two generations, the production company closed down.

For many, it's just an outdated niche game.

But it was this game that brought Meng Xi to the door of the new world for the first time, from a wealthy daughter to an Internet addicted girl who was addicted to games, and finally ran to start a game company...

Of course, Meng Xi didn't need money to collect things, she had this handbook.

But Song Zhiyi probably spent a lot of thought in order to find the peripherals of the game more than ten years ago, which moved her even more.

Song Zhiyi said, "Open it and have a look."

Meng Xi opened it, only to find that someone wrote a line on the title page of the account:

"Give it to my fellow travellers, I hope you will always have enthusiasm - JD"

JD is the abbreviation of the main planner of "Magic Detective" at that time, and he is also one of the game planners Meng Xi especially admires.

Seeing her surprised look, Song Zhiyi bent her eyes and smiled slightly: "I just met by chance this time, I think you would want it, so I got your autograph for you."

Meng Xi finally couldn't help but hugged her, sighed and said, "Actually, I also prepared a gift for you."

But such a comparison, no matter the degree of care or preciousness, is a bit out of hand.

Song Zhiyi looked forward to it: "What is it?"

"I put it over there in the apartment, and I didn't bring it here." Meng Xi touched her face and coaxed her, "If you go abroad this time, you will be obedient until the end of work, and don't run around like today. For you."

Song Zhiyi was startled, and smiled helplessly: "Aren't you happy to see me?"

"Of course I'm happy. I'm so happy that my heart melts, but..."

Meng Xi kissed her, looked into her eyes and said, "Your health is the most important thing. Don't worry, girlfriend, our time is long."

The author has something to say: In the previous chapter, a kiss scene (actually nothing was written) was deleted due to the review. In order to make up for the word count, I added a small section of the plot at the end. Babes who watched the red lock before can take a look. It doesn't matter if you don't look at it...
