Yaqing took a deep breath.

"This is all your fault." Salome glared at her, then took her hands off the keyboard after just sending out the official announcement.

"Boss, have you really not thought through the plot?"

Curiosity, anticipation, doubt...

It is rare to see so many emotions reflected in a person's pupils.

Shub did it.

"Really, why would I lie to you? I really haven't written it yet."

Writing something down and thinking about it are two different concepts.

Yaqing was not lying.

"Finally, I can take a vacation! I'm going shopping, traveling, and eating lots of delicious food!"

Shigure Kira stretched, revealing her fair skin beneath her white shirt, showcasing her alluring figure.

"Okay, everyone take a two-week break."

Yaqing's words were like a bolt from the blue.

Of all the women, except for Salome, everyone else was stunned.

"Why only half a month?"

Shigure Kira was the first to ask a question.

"Half a month is someone else's time."

Yaqing's words left Shigure Kira even more bewildered.

Cheng Lixue explained, "He meant that we need to come back before the regular employees' leave ends."

"Damn capitalists!" Shigure Kira shouted.

"Keep it up, I'll work hard alongside you all."

"Nobody would believe that!"

Chapter 295 The Aftermath of "Post-Honkai Odyssey 3rd" and Su's Love

The popularity of "Post-Honkai Odyssey" has remained unabated, even surpassing "Durandal". From any perspective, this has left a certain blonde employee at Schicksal Headquarters feeling sullen for the past two days.

"Bianka, you've seemed down these past few days," Li Sushang said, leaning against the desk at her desk in Durandal, blowing on her steaming coffee.

Is it obvious?

Bianka Kaslana, who was using the alias Durandal, did not refute, but instead stared blankly at the sky.

"Isn't this obvious enough? Anyone can see it." Li Sushang naturally took the coffee that Susannah brought over and placed it on Durandal's workstation.

It tastes the same as Yaqing's, except it has milk instead of sugar.

"What I'm thinking about is why the online reviews of the web series 'Durandal' are... well, they're not exactly bad, but..." Bianka looked dejected.

"Don't worry, Bianka, the reason this web series didn't do well is because there were too many technical terms, not because of the plot or your character."

Li Sushang comforted her.

"Moreover, I believe there are many people who feel even more upset than you about the reaction to this web series, such as Yaqing."

"Um."

But is the truth really as Li Sushang said? That's not important. What's important is that the task Otto entrusted to Li Sushang was exceeded.

Two days ago, Otto noticed that Bianka was in low spirits. After observing her carefully, he asked Li Sushang to go and comfort Bianka today.

"Huh? Rakshasa, I think Bianka is the same as usual."

Otto smiled without saying a word.

Recalling this scene, Li Sushang coughed lightly a few times.

According to Li Sushang, someone who should be even more depressed than Durandal is now all smiles, preparing to go out with everyone from the Golden Courtyard.

"Set off!"

Autumn has arrived, and the weather is gradually getting cooler.

Elysia changed from a skirt to pants. The white wide-leg pants were tight at the waist, outlining her plump thighs, while the loose hem concealed the shape of her calves. The pants were narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, making them eye-catching.

"Elysia, it's still early!"

Eden's concert runs from afternoon to evening, but I haven't even had lunch yet.

Kevin, who had been woken up, yawned uncontrollably.

Mei was also rubbing her eyes; it was clear she had been doing experiments until late last night.

Su subconsciously observed

Two different types of couples.

They both looked exactly the same when they were sleepy, even their breathing and rubbing of their eyes were similar.

Meanwhile, on the other side, they got up early and snuggled together on the sofa to watch cartoons, a scene full of childlike fun.

Sue drew a conclusion.

After falling in love, one will gradually move closer to their partner.

Before May and Kevin got together, she never slept in late, and even in college, she never missed a single class at 8 a. m.

Mobius used to hate Elysia's constant attempts to cuddle with him, but now he's become quite adept at leaning against Yaqing.

"Love is truly a deadly poison," Su shook her head and sighed.

"Brother Su, what about love?"

Ling bounced down the stairs.

I unexpectedly overheard Su's sigh.

Unfortunately, she didn't hear clearly; she only caught the word "love."

"Love? Su, have you finally figured it out?!"

Kevin was no longer sleepy.

"Love? Has Su found love yet~?"

Elysia wasn't in a hurry to go to the concert venue.

The crowd glanced at Su with a mixture of curiosity and unease.

Even the TV in the living room that was showing cartoons was put on hold.

Everything became awkward and strange.

"No, I don't intend to throw it into the grave prematurely," Su said with a smile as she walked towards the kitchen. She opened the cabinet, took out tea leaves, poured in boiling water, and the fragrant aroma immediately filled the air.

"Su, marriage is the grave of love," Yaqing said to Su, embracing Mobius.

Mobius leaned against Yaqing's chest, picked up the remote control again, and continued playing the cartoon on TV.

"You wouldn't have said that to me before."

Su's words left Yaqing speechless.

Indeed, as a prime example of someone who once evaded his love, what right does he have to offer advice to Su on matters of the heart?

"What are you talking about? I'm so hungry." Little Knowledge walked down the stairs barefoot, without even opening her eyes. She went straight to the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and took out snacks in one smooth motion.

Let's discuss where the saying "love is the grave of marriage" actually comes from.

Kevin sat down on the beanbag chair next to Yaqing and sank right in.

"That sentence? Le mariage est le tombeau de la confiance et de l'amour."

Fu Hua suddenly appeared, full of energy, as if she hadn't slept at all.

"There is also a theory that it comes from Shenzhou's novel 'Fortress Besieged'."

Inside the Golden Courtyard, everyone gradually woke up from their dreams. Elysia was already fully prepared, but everyone else had just woken up.

Yaqing and Mobius were even wearing identical dinosaur pajamas.

"Don't worry, Elysia, Eden's concert tickets don't go on sale until 4 p. m., it's only 10 a. m. now, there's still plenty of time." May yawned again, sat on Kevin's lap, and fell asleep again.

The saying goes, "Spring brings drowsiness, summer brings fatigue, autumn brings lethargy, and winter brings hibernation." Now it's the season for autumn lethargy.

Good morning, Brother Yaqing; good morning, Aunt Mobius; good morning, brothers and sisters.

Little Griseo, Yaqing Yaqing Mobius before habitually sitting between Mobius.

Mobius gently pinched Griseo nose in his arms and said, "Don't call me 'Auntie,' call me 'Sister.'"

"But Elysia said..." Griseo's face was conflicted.

Mobius looked at Elysia with murderous intent in his eyes.

Elysia acted as if it were none of her business.

"Bite."

The phone beeped.

Without exception, everyone subconsciously took out their phones, only to find that no messages had come in. Yaqing said softly, "Excuse me, everyone, it seems to be a message for me."

Yaqing got up, left the living room, and went to the bathroom.

I called the person who sent the message.

"Hey, Eden, what's up?"

Yaqing said softly that he didn't know why Eden had suddenly called him, but since it was only calling him, it must be because there was something it wanted to tell him.

"Yaqing, are you alone?"

Eden sat in a chair in the dressing room, letting the staff apply powder to her face.

"No, what's wrong?"

Yaqing immediately became alert.

Cecilia once told him that women are dangerous, the more beautiful the woman, the more dangerous she is, but his sister was an exception, and he repeated it to her many times.

"I remember today is..."

Eden said.

"She doesn't know herself?" Yaqing looked surprised. How could someone not even remember their own date?

"I talked to her about it this morning, and it seems she forgot."

"So, why did you call me?"

"I want..."

Yaqing lost track of time while making a phone call in the bathroom, and it wasn't until Kevin couldn't help but knock on the bathroom door that he realized how much time had passed.

"Yaqing, are you dead in the toilet?" Kevin said irritably. "Come out and eat. After we finish eating, Elysia wants to go over early."

Chapter 296 Yaqing: Kevin, you haven't wasted these three years as a son. (4K)

"Yaqing, did you die in the toilet?"

Kevin yawned.

Because Elysia wanted to see Eden as soon as possible, Kalpas did not choose to cook rice, but instead made noodles. Even simple noodles could be made with heartfelt sincerity in his hands.

The aroma wafted from the kitchen all the way to the bathroom.

Hearing the sound of water coming from the toilet, Kevin yawned again.

Before he could even close his mouth, the sliding door to the bathroom was pushed open a crack, and a hand reached out and pulled Kevin inside.
