Wu Wei held out his hand.
"Happy... cooperation..."
Shen Yunshi copied Wu Wei, holding out her hand and timidly shaking his.
Done.
Wu Wei turned and shook his head.
When the tiger doesn't show its might, you think I'm Hello Kitty.
If I'd known it would be this easy, I wouldn't have wasted so many polite words.
Watching Wu Wei's retreating back, Shen Yunshi stood frozen for a full two seconds.
Then she suddenly remembered that she had not even apologized for the misunderstanding just now, so she hurriedly chased after him!
"Student Wu! Wait!"
"Mr. Wu!"
This dramatic scene left the students watching nearby staring with their mouths agape!
What was going on?!
Just now, that strikingly handsome guy with the overwhelming presence had been chasing the campus belle, who had looked furious.
Yet now, the campus belle was chasing after that handsome guy, speaking to him in a low and humble voice?
What kind of turn was this?
More importantly, they had never seen the campus belle chase after a guy so meekly before!
The scene fell silent.
Only Xiang Tianming remained sprawled on the ground, clutching his ribs and groaning nonstop.
Xiang Tianming practically wanted to cry.
So after all that, the Jester had been himself.
"Student Wu, Student Wu!"
Shen Yunshi hurried forward a few steps and caught up with Wu Wei.
"I'm really sorry about what happened just now. I misunderstood."
Shen Yunshi had a good personality. Although she was praised as the campus belle,
she had never considered herself special, nor did she put on any goddess-like airs.
If you were wrong, you had to apologize. Shen Yunshi understood that well.
"Misunderstood?"
Wu Wei did not stop walking. He glanced at Shen Yunshi.
"What misunderstanding? Are you going back on your word?"
"No, no!"
Shen Yunshi waved her hands repeatedly and explained,
"I meant the money. When you took out the money at first, I thought you were going to..."
Halfway through, Shen Yunshi became too embarrassed to continue.
How was a girl like her supposed to say such words aloud?
Seeing Shen Yunshi's flushed face and awkward expression, a realization struck Wu Wei!
He suddenly remembered what he had said earlier!
What he had said was, "Student Shen, I'd like to make an appoint..."
Before he could say the word "appointment," Shen Yunshi had stormed off.
Ah, so that was it—
He seemed to know why Shen Yunshi had gotten so angry that she had walked away in a huff!

"You know quite a lot, huh."
Once he understood that it had been a misunderstanding, Wu Wei shed his sharp demeanor, and his tone softened.
"Ah...!"
"N-No, not really..."
Hearing Wu Wei tease her, Shen Yunshi blushed and waved her hands desperately.
This Wu Wei really was impossible to figure out.
One second, he had been as cold as ice, with ruthless methods that struck fear into people's hearts.
The next, he had returned to that calm and humorous manner.
Seeing Shen Yunshi's little face turn as red as though she had a fever, Wu Wei smiled and stopped teasing her.
"Sorry. I misunderstood you, and I apologize for my attitude just now."
"No, it was my fault first."
Wu Wei's generous apology only made Shen Yunshi feel even more embarrassed.
"I was overthinking things."
"But! I'm not that kind of person!"
"I... I'd only heard about it before. You know there are a lot of people like that nowadays, so I... overreacted for a moment."
As though afraid that Wu Wei might misunderstand something, Shen Yunshi hurriedly explained.
Even Shen Yunshi herself did not know why she was giving such an irrelevant explanation to a man who had been cold and forceful toward her just moments ago.
"I believe you."
Wu Wei said with a smile.
"But now, we should discuss business."
"As for the illustrations, I have some design ideas and suggestions."
"Uh, okay, but please wait a moment!"
As she spoke, Shen Yunshi found a stone table along the tree-lined path, sat down, and took out her notebook.
"Go ahead."
Seeing Shen Yunshi's earnest and obedient expression, Wu Wei chuckled inwardly.
This girl really was quite interesting.
The two of them discussed things from noon until the sun set behind the western hills.
The first requirement for the illustrations Wu Wei wanted was that they had to be exquisite.
After all, he had designed them to be downloadable as desktop wallpapers after players cleared the game.
So the quality had to be excellent.
Otherwise, this design feature would lose its purpose.
Next, Wu Wei also told Shen Yunshi the names of all fifteen levels.
Whether it was painting or writing, as long as it involved creative work, working from a prompt was always easier than creating freely.
Though the names were all abstract, Shen Yunshi did not mind. Instead, she felt they were all deeply evocative.
She had to admit that Wu Wei truly was a rather talented game designer.
Weaving together the simplest elements into an engrossing game was very difficult.
Though she called Wu Wei a pervert aloud,
Shen Yunshi understood that he had actually reached the realm where battling others brought endless delight.
To him, games were no longer just games, but tools for communicating with players' souls.
Though this "soul communication" was Wu Wei beating up the players one-sidedly.
Shen Yunshi silently added that last sentence in her heart.
