Finish up the rest so we can leave directly. (Q-version Qingyi thank emoji)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi: Already finished. You can head out as soon as you return...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi: Where did you get my emoji pack? (Q-version Zhu Yuan confused emoji)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng: Hehe! Guess! (Q-version Qingyi making a face)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi: It’s definitely Zhu Yuan who sent it to you! (Q-version Zhu Yuan angry)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi: So you... never mind...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng: You’re leaving a sentence half-spoken? (Q-version Qingyi cat face)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi cat face\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi: ????????\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi: When did I ever make this expression? Send me a Zhu Yuan emoji instead. (Q-version Zhu Yuan thank emoji)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng: I don’t actually have any Zhu Yuan ones... but Qingyi, you do have a cute side! We’re done eating and will be right back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi: ...You mean I’m usually not cute? Understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng: Oh~ So you want to be praised for being cute?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qingyi: No, my phone’s dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng suddenly smiled as he looked at his chat history with Qingyi—he now understood how to interact with her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most people rely on emotion in matters of feeling, but Qingyi was different!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Probably because she’s a robot—she treats most situations with absolute rationality, showing emotion only rarely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For example, when she was covering the reception desk, she showed signs of panic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So you must keep pressing within the limits she can accept, like slowly boiling a frog.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m done. Let’s go, Qingfeng.” Zhu Yuan wiped her lips with a tissue, noticed Ye Qingfeng smiling while looking down at his phone, and instantly sharpened her gaze, feigning indifference as she asked casually:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you messaging? Why are you smiling?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Oh! Miss Zhu Yuan is jealous!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng didn’t even need to look at her face—just from her words and that faintly resentful tone, he could easily tell she was jealous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm~ Play a little game with me and I’ll tell you.” Ye Qingfeng quickly thought of an idea, smirked, and asked carelessly: “How about it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He could just tell her outright—but why not get something in return?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Something he currently doesn’t have! And given Zhu Yuan’s fondness for him, she wouldn’t refuse. He was feeling greedy now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yuan agreed without hesitation, intrigued by his game and especially curious about who he’d been messaging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, Ye Qingfeng hadn’t refused—only asked to play a game. It felt like a total win!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng explained the game rules plainly: “I make a motion, you copy it. Simple, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Zhu Yuan agreed, Ye Qingfeng extended his palm. She glanced at it and mirrored him. He slowly moved his palm forward; she followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon their palms drew impossibly close—fingertips touched first. Zhu Yuan’s cheeks flushed slightly, her hand trembled as if shocked, her heartbeat accelerating uncontrollably.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yuan forgot the rules, lunged forward, and pressed her palm firmly against his.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His palm is so big! And so warm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She suppressed the urge to go further, raised her eyes to meet his. Their gazes met in midair; the air around them seemed to freeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a brief stare, Zhu Yuan looked away first, lowering her head shyly as if hiding her rosy face, then pulling her hand back behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Ye Qingfeng blinked gently. Zhu Yuan’s sudden initiative surprised him—but even more surprising was—\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just touching palms made her blush and her heart race. So unexpectedly innocent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhu Yuan! You broke the game rules!” Ye Qingfeng was pleased by her boldness, but rules were rules—he softly reminded her: “No more violations from now on!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Got it...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yuan lifted her face, nodded slightly, speaking with a soft, fragile tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng then made several simple gestures. Zhu Yuan copied them with serious focus. Once he saw she was fully engaged, he decisively began his scheme.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng first made a peace sign. When Zhu Yuan naturally copied it, he immediately pouted one side of his mouth, then moved his hand to his cheek.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yuan instantly mirrored his exact motion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Ye Qingfeng grinned triumphantly, pulled out his phone, and snapped a photo—her adorable, pouting face was saved to his gallery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yuan: ?...!!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng immediately stood up before she could react, turned and bolted without looking back. As he passed her, he added: “Mind your manners! We’re in the Peace Bureau!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yuan: ?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she turned back, cheeks flushed and breath ragged, only Ye Qingfeng’s distant back remained. She wanted to sprint after him—but remembered his warning, so she quickened her pace toward him instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yuan’s flushed face was from embarrassment; her ragged breathing? From anger!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was terrified the photo looked bad—worried he’d kept an ugly picture of her! That she absolutely could not accept!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He runs, she chases! He can’t escape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhu Yuan quickly followed Ye Qingfeng’s back to the office door. She stopped at the threshold, didn’t enter immediately, but pulled out her phone and used it as a mirror to fix her messy hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave her a moment to calm down. Once she confirmed she looked perfect, she decisively pushed open the door and looked inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There, Ye Qingfeng and Qingyi sat calmly sipping tea. They showed no reaction upon seeing Zhu Yuan enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ye Qingfeng’s confidence came from having shown Qingyi the photo the moment he entered—trading Zhu Yuan’s image for his safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t sent it to her in advance; he’d promised to wait until Zhu Yuan calmed down. Qingyi, knowing Zhu Yuan was about to arrive, could only protest and reluctantly agree.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could Qingyi do? She gritted her teeth and agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For the sake of Zhu Yuan’s adorable photo! I’ll take the blame!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>May everyone draw Evelyn tomorrow—ten pulls, three golds??????\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap to urge updates. Friends without comments, give a 4 or 5-star rating for support (*￣3￣)?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nearly 200,000 words already, and no ratings yet, folks!
