Manager Lin, You...

The morning sun was shining brightly.

Zhao Yihang kept glancing outside, seemingly hoping to see someone again.

"What are you looking at?"

I strode up to the internet cafe entrance and looked at him in surprise.

"Ding Han."

Zhao Yihang, "She didn't drive you to work today?"

Which day did she drive me to work?

"..."

Zhao Yihang, "Ding Han, have you seen her recently?"

I just had breakfast with her.

"Rough~~~"

He raised his middle finger, his face contorted in pain. "You really lived with her?"

"It's a shared apartment, but we don't share a bed. It's just a shared apartment."

I gave him the middle finger and said, "Don't be so pathetic, or I'll really look down on you. Hurry up and hand over the shift; I need to check the accounts from last night's all-night session."

"OK..."

Looking sickly, Zhao Yihang glanced at the network administrator's computer, then looked up and asked, "When will she come again?"

"None of your business..."

I said speechlessly, "What, if she comes, you're going to make a special trip to see her?"

"Otherwise what?"

Zhao Yihang said with a pained expression, "To be honest, I dreamed about her a few days ago. In the dream, she was like a dream, but when I woke up, she vanished like the moon's reflection in the water. Do you know what that kind of pain is?"

"I don't know, what you're doing is delusion, or rather, wishful thinking."

"You son of a bitch..."

Zhao Yihang, sporting panda eyes, staggered away.

Footsteps echoed from upstairs, followed by Lu Xiaobei, dressed casually and wearing a hat with wings. He said, "Ding Han, I'm leaving! A coffee shop in the ancient city wants me to take photos today, and I'm running late!"

"Be careful when crossing the street."

"Okay!"

She came and went like the wind, disappearing into the ancient city in the blink of an eye.

In the morning, I also started to get busy.

After disassembling and reassembling the computer for a while and accumulating more than 10,000 Skill Experience, he finally sat down and began writing furiously, hoping to finish his novel, "My 23-Year-Old Beautiful Boss," as soon as possible.

Time flies by.

At noon, a message popped up from Lu Xiaobei: "I took the photos in just one hour this morning, no retakes whatsoever, and made a whopping 300 yuan. Pretty impressive, right?"

"Impressive, but what about now?"

She sent me a picture of stalls selling things in the old town, and said, "I'm a little hungry, but there are a lot of tourists today. I made three sales in no time, and now I'm a little reluctant to leave. Could you bring me some food? My stomach has been growling for ages."

After saying that, she sent a pitiful emoji with little stars in its eyes.

I said helplessly, "It's here!"

"Good!"

She sent the fairy-like emoji jumping for joy for the nth time.

"Old K!"

I slammed my hand on the table and shouted, "Come here and keep an eye on things for me. I'm going to take some lunch to Xiao Bei!"

"Holy crap!"

Old K glared and said, "I'm fighting the Yellow Springs Cult Master right now. Wait, if I use another five minutes of floating spells, I should be able to float to death!"

"Hurry up!"

"Damn it! Lu Xiaobei won't starve to death in five minutes, so you can relax!"

Five minutes later, Old K walked in, still half asleep. He had recently been trying to get back into his biological clock and started logging on during the day. I don't know what he was thinking, but anyway, professional gamers like him always have a tough job.

"What happened to the Yellow Springs Cult Master?" I asked.

"Damn it, stop asking."

Old K said speechlessly, "All I got was a memory necklace with +2 luck, +1 attack, and +4 damage. It's garbage, not even worth the price of a lunchbox. I waited all morning for nothing, it's infuriating!"

"You're really something, a mere Daoist priest like you dared to camp a top-tier boss like this. You're lucky you didn't get wiped out by a team."

"Damn it, don't rub salt in the wound. Don't say things like that again. I get chopped up countless times every day!"

After handing the network management computer to him, I immediately went out, bought two boxed lunches, and then headed to the Old City District to find Lu Xiaobei.

This guy is so arrogant, he actually set up his stall right across from the city management team!

I sat down beside him and said, "Xiao Bei, I think you're a talented person."

"You just realized that?" She tilted her head and looked at me.

"I had noticed it before, but I later realized I had underestimated you."

I pondered for a moment and said, "Sometimes I have to admire you; there's nothing you can't do in this world."

"Hmph~~~"

She was somewhat indignant, picked up the lunchbox, and said, "That doesn't sound like a nice thing to say."

I also picked up my boxed lunch and began to devour it in a whirlwind.

"Ding Han, here's half of this fish for you."

She poked around in her lunchbox with her chopsticks for a while, then picked out half a braised mackerel and handed it to me, saying, "I've noticed I seem to have gained some weight lately, so I need to eat less."

I buried myself in my food, but it was only half a mackerel, barely filling my stomach!

After finishing my boxed lunch, I put the box away and threw it in the trash can.

At this moment, Lu Xiaobei called me over, then took out his phone and showed me a video. The video showed a girl standing on the beach at dusk, her back to me.

The sea was beautiful, the sky was gray-blue, a bright moon hung in the sky, and a bridge stretched from the seashore into the distance until it disappeared below the horizon.

The girl's back view was beautiful; the sea breeze blew, and her skirt and white scarf swayed.

"This is?"

I squinted and said, "That woman has nice legs!"

"You..."

Lu Xiaobei raised his hand and punched me. "You really know how to focus on the important things. Did I ask you to look at my legs? I wanted you to see the scenery. This place is called Moon Gazing Sea). You can see the moon every evening, and with the cross-sea bridge as a backdrop, it's absolutely beautiful. I've always wanted to go there."

"Then what?"

"Then?"

She glared at me and said, "Once our internet cafe business stabilizes, you'll come with me to the Moon Gazing Sea. Consider it our first team building activity at Feiyang Internet Cafe. We'll take a picture together in front of the cross-sea bridge, one as master and one as servant!"

"Wait a minute..."

I frowned. "Where are Zhao Yihang and Sakura? Aren't they coming with us? Aren't they employees of our internet cafe?"

"Zhao Yihang has kidney deficiency and can't go. Sakura has to accompany her boyfriend, so she definitely won't be free either. It'll just be the two of us going!"

"Oh..."

I nodded, wondering if Zhao Yihang knew about his kidney deficiency.

"It's settled then."

Lu Xiaobei said, "Go back now, don't disrupt my business."

I was speechless and too lazy to squat by the roadside with her and be pointed at by the urban management officers, so I got up and went back to the internet cafe to continue working.

Around 3 PM.

"Drop!"

A WeChat message, surprisingly from Lin Qingying who rarely speaks to me first, "I'll be getting off work a little earlier today, can you practice skateboarding with me?"

She never speaks with an expression, always maintaining a serious and earnest demeanor.

"Good."

I replied, "What time do you usually get off work? Should I buy groceries and cook?"

"No."

She replied, "You and Li Xiang can play games downstairs first. I'll be home around 5:10. I'll treat you to rice noodles then, and after we eat, we'll practice skateboarding for a bit before the aunties in the neighborhood start their square dancing."

"Okay, see you there."

She seemed to be busy again, and after a full ten minutes, she finally sent a message: "Okay, see you there."

It was four o'clock in the evening.

Sakura arrived and sat on the back of a young man's electric scooter; the two appeared to be very affectionate.

"Hey, Ding Han!"

Her boyfriend even took the initiative to greet her.

I looked up and smiled, "Hi, Sakura's boyfriend!"

Hahaha~~~

The other person laughed heartily; they seemed to be a cheerful and outgoing person, no wonder Sakura was so captivated.

After handing over the shift, I went straight to the residential area.

After exchanging some coins at the convenience store downstairs, I sat down and started practicing King of Fighters 97. Not long after, Li Xiang returned in a menacing manner, followed by several friends.

"Boss, is this the person you're talking about? Is he the one who won your Flying Fire Meteor?" a skinny little boy asked.

"That's right, brothers!"

Li Xiang pointed his finger at my nose and said, "Don't let his gentle appearance fool you, he's a scoundrel. He's the one who beat my Flying Fire Meteor, and today I'm going to get my revenge in front of you all!"

With that, he plopped down and said, "Ding Han, let's gamble again today. If I win, you give me back the Flying Fire Meteor. If I lose, I..."

How are you?

I turned to look at him and laughed, "You don't have any stakes left, so what are you going to use to play with me? I really like the Flying Fire Meteor, so don't even think about taking it back. Even if you beat me 97 times out of 10,000, I'm not going to give the Flying Fire Meteor back to you."

"You!"

Li Xiang's eyes reddened, but he channeled his grief into Combat Power, quickly inserting coins and defeating me time and time again.

"Never mind..."

After losing more than ten games, I said, "Let's stop playing competitive games, it'll hurt our friendship. How about we play Romance of the Knights of Valour? I'll teach you how to use the Heavenly Book to beat Zhang Liao, Lü Meng, and Sima Yi without taking any damage!"

"Real?"

Li Xiang's eyes shone brightly; this was a skill he had always wanted to learn.

Thus, the two began their conquest of the Knights of Valour.

I don't know how much time passed, but I finally cleared the game. It was then that I noticed Lin Qingying had already appeared behind me, dressed in work clothes, looking incredibly beautiful. She was standing with a group of children, quietly watching us play the game without disturbing us.

Let's go.

She smiled and said, "Li Xiang, shall I treat you and your friends to rice noodles?"

"Real?"

The children's eyes lit up.

"Certainly!"

Li Xiang said, "Little Ying Sister is so kind; she often treats me to meals."

So, I rushed into the Beef Rice Noodles shop with the kids. As usual, I had a good appetite when Lin Qingying treated me, and I ate two bowls by myself.

After finishing my meal, I went upstairs and brought down both skateboards.

"Li Xiang."

He handed over the Night Meteor and said, "This is for you as compensation for the Flying Fire Meteor. This Flying Fire Meteor is destined to be with me and your Little Ying Sister, so I definitely won't return it to you."

"Wow, it's Night Meteor!"

The children's eyes widened in surprise.

Li Xiang took the Night Meteor and led a few children to play.

Lin Qingying took a pair of Xiao Bai sneakers from the trunk of the car, put them on, and then went with me to the open space in the square.

"Ding Han, today I want to learn how to change direction on the board and brake at the rear of the board."

"Can."

I nodded. "Changing direction is relatively simple, but braking at the rear of the board can easily cause a fall, so be mentally prepared."

"It's okay, I'm not afraid of falling."

So Lin Qingying began to learn skateboarding very diligently, and when the setting sun shone brightly, it cast her beautiful figure long and long across the square.

She didn't know how much time had passed, but she had successfully braked the tailgate multiple times, and a few beads of sweat had appeared on her pretty face.

Just then, a woman in business attire walked into the residential area. She was quite good-looking and wore black-rimmed glasses. She stood there blankly, staring in disbelief at Lin Qingying, who was trying to sway on the skateboard.

"Manager Lin, you..."
