Agreeing to the company’s request, Ruan Jiu Jiu made a Weibo work account. She racked her brains and finally came up with a username without the character “Jiu” in it. It took the whole day and she nearly killed someone like her who was trash at coming up with usernames.
According to the gossip from the secretary, when Tu Nan had heard Ruan Jiu Jiu’s username, his face twitched and he seemed like he wanted to say something. In the end, he didn’t say those words.
His hand rapped the table, and he said. “Mm… ‘Fat Birds Fly First’ … This name is pretty good, pretty good.”
Ruan Jiu Jiu already had the mental image of Tu Nan wanting to laugh but being unable to do so.
Isn’t this name cute though?
Ruan Jiu Jiu herself was very pleased.
The Weibo account “Fat Birds Fly First” said that she was an artist for <The Warrior’s Journey>. With the company’s account tagging her, it drew the attention of the popcorn-munching crowd. They flooded over to her Weibo only to see one post:
Fat Birds Fly First: hello~ What is everyone eating tonight? Let me see.
The online users now immediately forgot that they originally rushed over to profess their love. One by one, they left replies of their dinners under her post. Quite a few people also posted pictures and were pushed to the front of the reply chain. A perfectly good interaction soon changed into everyone talking about dinner. It was oddly fascinating.
Two hours later, Fat Birds Fly First made another post. In the text were a few simple words: Dinner.
The accompanying photo was an unfiltered picture of gourmet food. A few plates of homemade meals adorned the table. There was meat and vegetable dishes, with reds and greens, and it looked beautiful. The dishes were paired with two bowls of rice. It triggered people’s appetite and they wanted to jump in for a few bites.
“Wow, is it made by the OP? She can draw and also cook. She’s practically a fairy.”
“Who’s the person to the side?”
“I’m so jealous! I also want to eat!”
“Ah, the life of a fairy. You could say that I’m super envious!”
If people didn’t know better, they would have thought that it was a food blogger. The Weibo account completely became derailed into something that had nothing to do with the company. The only thing left was confessions and discussions between gluttons. There were still a few braindead people bashing her, but they were quickly drowned out. Their comments sank like a stone in water; they disappeared without a splash.
Ruan Jiu Jiu had made a Weibo account in her last life, but she had much fewer fans than now. At that time, she would share her art and would sometimes share her travel pictures. There weren’t as many excited fans as now, but they all got along.
Today, their numbers grew. In just one night, many people DMed her and tagged her. Ruan Jiu Jiu was a little apprehensive. Luckily, only a few people were there to stir trouble. The large majority were cute and cool. Ruan Jiu Jiu followed her company’s request and released a few unfinished linearts. She watched as her number of followers soared. It was only a few days but that number had already surpassed 100,000.
Ruan Jiu Jiu was a bit shocked. “I never thought there would be this many people.”
For someone like her who didn’t usually post and didn’t know how to properly run her account, there shouldn’t be that much activity.
“This was something within expectations.” Mr. Meng went up and smiled at Ruan Jiu Jiu. “Even when it comes to me, when I look at your Weibo I feel warm. Oh, right. Can you teach me how to make fried eggplants? My wife is really jealous and wants to eat it.”
Saying this, Mr. Meng gave Ruan Jiu Jiu placed the bag of jujubes he was carrying on the table.
“This is the specialty from her hometown. She said to get you some. Don’t dislike them just because they look ugly. The jujubes are crispy and sweet. They taste pretty good.”
Ruan Jiu Jiu hurriedly thanked him.
At this time, the company employees’ attitudes towards her changed greatly. Not only did they respect her a lot more, they also didn’t lightly hit her up for a chat either. They all looked at her as if they were looking at the big boss. What a joke. Even Tu Nan was deferential towards Ruan Jiu Jiu. If they were oblivious to that, wouldn’t they just be looking for trouble.
Ruan Jiu Jiu at first had wanted to blend in with the employees. But in the end, she thought it through and understood that she had no need to forcefully fit in. Since the start, she was a paratrooper and her position wasn’t low. Now that she was one of the core employees, there was no way she could fit in. If she did, it would be a burden to both parties.
Mr. Meng smiled a bit at what she said, and said that it was good that she accepted the situation.
Gu You’s appearance at the annual gala was pretty good. Recently, he was very well-regarded and appeared in all sorts of interviews. His handsome face appeared on many online news sites. His outer appearance and inner personality were both outstanding. How could a person like this not accumulate fans?
Ruan Jiu Jiu had run into him in the company once. Gu You was very polite and poised. The two amicably avoided discussing what had happened that day.
She didn’t know who had drugged him, and didn’t know what had happened between the two.
Only, when Ruan Jiu Jiu saw the interviews, the media would ask whether he was dating anyone currently. He expressed that he was single, and Ruan Jiu Jiu knew that Xu Bi Ying’s path wasn’t as easy as the book made it out to be.
In the book, when the media asked that question, Gu You gave a warm smile and proudly revealed that he had a fiancée, and he didn’t avoid the topic at all.
That sort of action gained him even more fans.
After the new years in the beginning of January, he competed in a tournament as one of Jiacheng’s team members. That was Gu You’s last competition, and it would be his most glorious battle. After winning the title, his dream was fulfilled. He then transitioned from an esports player to someone behind the scenes, and started the second phase of his life.
She couldn’t help but say that whether it was in the book or outside of it, Ruan Jiu Jiu appreciated a guy like Gu You who was both warm yet strong.
But now, things had progressed to this step. Ruan Jiu Jiu didn’t know who Gu You would end up with. Who is to say that through some turn of events, he would somehow end up meeting his wife from his last life. Everything was uncertain.
“Madam Ruan, we’ve arrived.”
The chaffeur gave Ruan Jiu Jiu a reminder, and Ruan Jiu Jiu came back to her senses. She said a word fo thanks and then headed home with her bag of jujubes. She shrunk her head in her hat. Her hands were frozen stiff, and only two fingers hooked onto the bag handle as she shivered her way home.
There was only a small light in the living room. The curtains were closed and it was dark. Ruan Jiu Jiu was shocked. “Cheng Jun?”
The bathroom door opened.
Cheng Jun wiped his short hair that was dripping wet, and he slowly said, “I’m here.”
Ruan Jiu Jiu lifted an eyebrow in suspicion. “What are you doing taking a shower at this hour?”
Cheng Jun’s gaze drifted slightly, but his expression was as calm as ever. “I wanted to shower.”
Ruan Jiu Jiu: “…” It was an unconvincing yet irrefutable response.
This was already the fourth time that Ruan Jiu Jiu, when looking for Cheng Jun, had suddenly bumped into him after he had just taken a shower. Normally, Cheng Jun was elusive like a ghost. If it weren’t for occasionally hearing the running water from Cheng Jun’s bathroom when she got up in the middle of the night to use the restroom, she would have thought that this guy never showered and that the layer of filth on his body would have cultivated magic properties.
The two stared at each other.
Ruan Jiu Jiu couldn’t help but walk closer, pull him by the arm, and give him a good sniff.
“…”
“…”
Under the dim yellow light, the two stared at each other. The sight was beyond beautiful. Ruan Jiu Jiu’s soft yet cold fingertips gripped his warm, sturdy arms. She could feel the vapor and smell the shower gel.
She looked up, the ends her pair of pretty peach eyes curved slightly upwards, and her glossy red lips hooked into a beautiful curve, revealing two pointy, small canine teeth.
Her face was a bit red, and her eyes twinkled like the countless stars in the Milky Way.
Then.
She faintly said, “Why do you have to spray perfume after taking a shower?”
Cheng Jun: “You smelled wrong.”
Ruan Jiu Jiu: “Just two days ago I smelled it. It’s Gucci’s men’s perfume, right?”
Cheng Jun: “You smelled wrong.”
Ruan Jiu Jiu: “Around a thousand dollars.”
Cheng Jun said with little confidence: “… You smelled wrong.”
A certain person wouldn’t admit no matter what.
Ruan Jiu Jiu originally wanted to gift Cheng Jun a bottle of perfume as a birthday gift. After trying a bunch of perfumes, she discovered that those scents weren’t as good as Cheng Jun’s fresh, naturally clean scent. Also, he didn’t have many opportunities to use perfume. It was better to just buy snacks and food gift baskets to make him happy.
But now it looks like Cheng Jun seemed to rather like perfume?
Thus, Ruan Jiu Jiu developed a glorious misunderstanding.
Ruan Jiu Jiu said, “I’m going to first wash the jujubes.” Then she went to the kitchen and left Cheng Jun standing in place.
A cold breeze blew past and he thought in silence, the tutorial didn’t say it would go like this. Which part did he do wrong?
“Oh right, we have New Year’s off. Do you have any plans?”
Outside of Ruan Jiu Jiu’s expectations, Cheng Jun’s tone was calm as he said he was going on a business trip.
Business trip?!
Ruan Jiu jiu was stupefied. “Why would you need to go on a business trip on New Year’s? Who works that day?”
Cheng Jun wiped the droplets off his hair. “Personal business that I need to take care of.”
Ruan Jiu Jiu was a bit distressed.
Then wouldn’t her plans be ruined?
