For office workers and students...
Monday and Tuesday are definitely the most difficult days to endure - time seems to become incredibly slow on these two days.
Wednesday is like a watershed. Once you get through it, you can feel the wonderful weekend getting closer, and the remaining days have something to look forward to.
"Finally, finally made it to Friday!"
Qingque walked out of the crowded subway station early in the morning. Looking at May 28th displayed on her phone calendar, her emerald green eyes instantly filled with tears.
Family members, who understands?!
She was originally just a little screenwriter who liked slacking off.
Back at miHoYo, Qingque would work when there was work, browse her phone when there wasn't, play a few rounds of mahjong to slack off, and leave on time. The salary wasn't high, but it was leisurely and comfortable.
But at Principle Studio...
Although Bronya gave her double the salary, she had already worked overtime three times this week!
"Money is hard to earn. Sure enough, promotion and raise means more things to do."
Qingque sighed deeply and slowly walked toward Principle Studio.
Actually, she didn't have much to do. The game's story outline had been prepared long ago. Now it was just modifying and adding details before starting to write the main text. Her progress was far ahead of art and programming.
Perhaps because of this, Bronya didn't actively ask Qingque to work overtime, simply having Haru, the lead artist, stay behind.
But the other two people in the studio besides her were working overtime...
If Qingque just left like that, it would seem a bit antisocial.
Besides, making the Galgame was her suggestion. With everyone else busy for this, she couldn't very well take the lead in slacking off!
Helplessly, Qingque had to be forced to work hard.
"But these past few days working overtime, I always felt the boss's gaze was a bit strange, as if she didn't want me to work overtime?"
Qingque recalled Bronya's momentarily complex expression when she learned that Qingque also wanted to stay and work overtime, feeling somewhat puzzled.
Could it be that the boss couldn't afford overtime pay?!
Bronya, who could casually double her salary, shouldn't be short of this little money...
Qingque rejected her own speculation and thought of another matter.
"Although I can't find evidence, there's an indescribable atmosphere between the boss and Haru, like they have better chemistry?"
Even though everyone had known each other for about the same amount of time, Bronya seemed to be closer to Haru. Could it be because their workstations were close so their relationship improved quickly?
Qingque nodded thoughtfully.
After all, with the boss right beside him making it impossible to slack off, it was normal for Haru to gain more of Bronya's appreciation than her.
But judging from Haru's often bitter expression, he probably didn't want this appreciation.
Good thing the boss didn't put her workstation near hers, otherwise she would be the unlucky one now!
Qingque chuckled quietly, withdrew her wandering thoughts, and entered Principle Studio's doors in a good mood.
"Alright, time to start work. Get through today and I can play mahjong to my heart's content!"
Qingque swayed her twin ponytails behind her, igniting the fighting spirit of a slacker!
But this genius mahjong girl hadn't even reached her workstation when her expression suddenly changed dramatically, seeing an extremely shocking scene.
Haru, who had arrived at Principle Studio before her, was currently holding her boss in a princess carry, one hand around her slender waist, the other supporting her legs - the posture was quite intimate.
At first, Qingque thought she was seeing things.
After vigorously rubbing her eye sockets, Qingque looked again at the girl in Haru's arms... light gray long hair, cold face, captivating figure - it really was Bronya!
Office romance? Female boss using unspoken rules? Or insubordination and taking advantage?!
Qingque's little brain flashed through numerous keywords in an instant, then she couldn't help but gasp.
No wonder the boss was closer to Haru - so they had this kind of relationship...
But Haru already had a fiancée. This was obviously cheating, and wouldn't the boss become a third party?!
Qingque tried hard to figure out what was happening, but the more she thought about it, the more complex it seemed. The emotional relationships here seemed more dramatic than eight o'clock TV dramas.
"Eh? Qingque, you're here?"
Haru also saw the petite figure of the brown-haired girl at this moment and unconsciously showed a smile.
As a result, when Qingque saw his appearance, she seemed startled and took several steps back before stopping.
"That... that, I didn't see anything. You two continue."
Qingque said nervously, thinking it was over.
She had stumbled upon the boss's unspeakable secret. She didn't know if she would end up being fired, but hopefully it wouldn't develop to the point of murder to silence witnesses!
"What are you talking about?"
Haru saw Qingque's stress-response-like reaction.
He was slightly stunned at first, then thought of something and shook his head helplessly.
"Don't overthink it. Bronya and I don't have that kind of relationship. If you don't believe me, take a careful look at Bronya's current state."
Hearing this, Qingque anxiously looked at her boss again.
The girl, pure and beautiful as winter snowflakes, had her eyes tightly closed, lying in Haru's arms with a peaceful expression and steady breathing, seemingly unaware of what was happening in the outside world.
"The boss... she's asleep?!"
Qingque swallowed and realized she might have misunderstood something.
"Shh, keep it down, don't wake Bronya up."
Haru lowered his voice and explained: "Bronya should have worked overtime for a long time after we left last night, and didn't even leave the studio. When I came this morning, I saw her sleeping at her workstation."
"I-I see..."
Qingque quietly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking at least she wouldn't be fired for stepping into the company with her left foot.
Right, she had been thinking too perversely!
The boss had such a strong aura - she was an ice beauty who could be admired from afar but not played with, and Haru's usual performance also fit the image of a good family man...
How could two such excellent people possibly engage in office romance!
Qingque reflected on herself internally, then refocused her attention on Haru.
"By the way, so you're holding the boss now to—"
"Of course to let Bronya lie on the sofa in the rest area. That's more comfortable and better for resting."
Haru looked at the sleeping girl in his arms, a trace of helplessness passing through his dark eyes.
They were comrades who had fought side by side countless times in the loops, even having close intimate contact. He couldn't just watch Bronya sleep at her workstation with an aching back and waist.
Even though Bronya in this timeline had no memories of the past, Haru, who had once been a captain, would unconsciously care for his Valkyries.
Speaking of which...
The girl had become Bronya, so why still didn't she know how to take care of herself?
Whether staying up all night gaming or working through the night, she completely didn't treat her physical health seriously - as worrying as Kiana!
Haru sighed lightly, his gaze falling on Bronya's somewhat cute sleeping face, then nodded to Qingque.
"Come help me out. Let's put today's work aside and let our boss rest well for a day."
