Bai Ningning was slightly taken aback, tugging at the corners of her mouth to form a bitter smile.
Indeed, she was quite popular now, after all, she was a super beautiful girl with a pretty face, a big chest, long legs, a slim waist, and a youthful appearance.
She must have brought joy to others, like when her older sister would casually compliment her sweetness during therapy sessions.
But all of this was brought about by her rebirth. Just a few months ago, none of this existed.
Back then, she was ordinary to the point of being unremarkable, and she also had trouble speaking, making communication quite difficult. At that time, she resisted contact with others, but deep down, like Nainai, she longed to be liked and to bring joy to others.
So, she had thought about learning to draw back in middle school. Unfortunately, at that time, ACG hadn't developed yet, and the environment was too poor. To learn to draw, one could only enroll in expensive tutoring classes and follow the art and sports route.
As an orphan in two lifetimes, Bai Ningning obviously didn't have the money, so she had to bury that wish deep in her heart. Now, hearing Nainai say these words, memories of the past resurfaced.
Of course, it was too late for her to learn to draw now; drawing requires time, years of practice, and youthful talent. Moreover, as Nainai said, now that she was a beautiful girl, there was no need for it.
But her original intention remained unchanged, and her dream was still alive.
"Nainai, you can do it, we can do it," Bai Ningning suddenly grabbed the little loli's shoulder, "Our game, including your drawings, will definitely bring joy to everyone and become something popular."
"Um? Um, yeah..."
Although she didn't understand why her senior was so excited, Nainai still obediently nodded.
After class, Bai Ningning said goodbye to Nainai. The loli junior rushed back to the dormitory to finish her work, while the big sister went home to prepare for the weekend department meeting, both full of motivation.
Putting on her headphones, Bai Ningning searched for an old song and hummed as she walked.
"As long as the heart is there, the dream is there~~"
...
The so-called Thursday Syndrome has a typical characteristic: once you manage to get through Thursday, you'll find that Friday goes by quickly, and before you know it it's the weekend.
Of course, part of the reason is that Bai Ningning only has classes in the morning on Fridays.
In any case, the two classes passed quickly. Back home, Bai Ningning fiddled with her phone for a while, then got up and walked around a few times—showing none of her usual laziness.
Qin Yue was confused: "Why are you so energetic these past two days?"
Strange, could it be that her last hint about "trimming nails" was too obvious, and the little green tea understood it, making her so happy?
"I'm going to the company for a meeting tomorrow," Bai Ningning replied, "It's our game's first meeting, and after the meeting, we'll start working on it."
What? So that's it, tsk.
Qin Yue rolled her eyes: "Wasn't the game already approved? We talked about it a long time ago, why are you only excited now?"
She had been hesitant before, but now she suddenly had the motivation, huh?
"Because it's almost time to actually implement it, and for some special reasons," Bai Ningning's eyelashes fluttered, her eyes sparkling, "I want to make a good game!"
Qin Yue raised the corners of her mouth and smiled meaningfully: "That's really great."
Making a good game requires a lot of money.
But that's still a long way off; from early development to testing and launch, it would take at least until next year. Qin Yue was also thinking about other important matters for the weekend.
"You have a meeting tomorrow morning, right?" she reminded, "Remember to come back early."
Bai Ningning blinked: "But the department is having a dinner after the meeting."
"Then just come back after the dinner..."
"After the dinner, we might chat with each other," Bai Ningning's voice grew softer, "And after chatting, who knows, everyone might go to karaoke and sing."
Qin Yue laughed: "After singing, don't you have to find a street stall and have some skewers?"
Bai Ningning tilted her head: "That's not impossible."
Qin Yue lightly slapped Bai Ningning's pillow: "Skewers? You come back to me right after lunch!"
"Oh," Bai Ningning winced slightly, "Okay then."
Coming back is fine, but why shout? Can't we just talk nicely?
Not only did she shout, but she also used her hands. Although it wasn't much strength, the pillow was quite soft.
After a day of nothing happening, she went to bed normally at night, and everything was fine.
When Bai Ningning lay down in bed, she had some thoughts. Although she had become a beautiful girl after being reborn, her basic conditions had improved tremendously. But no matter what, she now had a comfortable life, a good environment, and an opportunity to make games.
So, maybe she should show some appreciation.
Thus, Bai Ningning turned over in bed, facing Qin Yue's side, raised her pure and cute little face, and said coldly: "Are you feeling it?"
Qin Yue was about to turn off the light to sleep when her hand trembled, almost knocking the bedside lamp down.
"What do you mean?" Qin Yue felt a bit flustered, "Are you asking for it?"
She was a bit anxious, not because of Bai Ningning's initiative today. Some girls, after getting into a relationship, would actively ask for intimacy; this is a normal need. Qin Yue understood that this day would come sooner or later.
And it had been a full six days since their last intense encounter. Six days between duels was not very long. But the problem was that this little green tea's physique was getting stronger.
Now it was six days, next time it would be five days, then four days... By the time she grew a few more stages, the intervals would get shorter and shorter, and she was really afraid that it would...
"It's nothing, just asking you," Bai Ningning continued coldly, "It's been so long, I should do something a secretary is supposed to do."
Don't mind it, just doing my job.
Qin Yue fell into silence, not responding for a long time.
"Are you, not well-rested?" Bai Ningning tilted her head, "No way, it's been five or six days, no way, right?"
Anger flared up in her heart... then slowly dissipated. No, the plan cannot be disrupted.
"Not tonight, I need to conserve my energy," Qin Yue snapped off the light and closed her eyes, "Sleep, we'll talk tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?"
Bai Ningning pondered. Earlier, Qin Yue had asked her to come back early tomorrow, could it be for...
But she told her to come back after lunch, and that would still be during the day, in broad daylight, oh my.
How suggestive.
Alright, anyway, the light is off now, time to sleep.
Zzzz
And so Friday passed, both looking forward to the weekend, but for completely different reasons, finally arriving with the morning birdsong.
Bai Ningning went to bed early and woke up early, getting out of bed full of energy. She didn't eat at home, just grabbed a box of milk, bought two big steamed buns on the way, and ate while walking to the company.
She thought to herself, a beautiful future starts from here!
