Liu Yuyan's New Discovery

The classmates in the room stared at the smiling He Li with eyes full of jealousy and envy.

But at the same time, they also felt a bit sour...

The relationship between He Li and Miao Xiaoyu seemed very sweet.

The way the two of them interacted looked just like a young couple in the throes of first love.

The singletons in the room watched their intimacy...

It made them feel as sour as if they had eaten a lemon themselves!

Behind them, Wu Gang swept his gaze over the expressions of everyone in the room and sneered.

"Heh, a bunch of useless noobs!"

"Can't you handle even this little bit of sweetness?"

"I've been enduring this kind of thing every single day for a full ten days or more—I am the Supreme Lemon Emperor!"

"You guys are still far too inexperienced..."

He felt disdain in his heart, and his eyes were full of contempt.

The others couldn't quite understand his thoughts, but they didn't pay much attention to Wu Gang following behind He Li; everyone's focus was on He Li and Miao Xiaoyu at the door.

"The gathering is about over, we might as well head back!"

Miao Xiaoyu said as she gradually calmed down.

He Li nodded: "That was exactly my plan!"

Anyway, there were only a few people he was close to; having said what needed to be said and seen who needed to be seen, there was really no need to stay any longer. He still had to go back to continue working on the game, and time was quite tight.

Thinking of this, the two left together.

Leaving the classmates in the room to look at each other in dismay...

...

The scores were out, the applications were submitted, and the graduation party was over.

From here on out, He Li didn't have much else to do.

He began to devote himself wholeheartedly to his work.

The content of plants vs. zombies was gradually being perfected through the efforts of him, Wu Gang, and some outsourced Studios. On the art side, Miao Xiaoyu was also doing very well, basically meeting He Li's expectations.

However, the further they got, the heavier the workload became.

Miao Xiaoyu was responsible for all the art by herself...

It was quite a lot of pressure for her, so He Li outsourced many of the later designs.

Fortunately, Shennong Pharmaceutical Industry had provided 900,000, and combined with the bonuses He Li received from his school and the government for being a Top Scholar, this money allowed He Li to proceed with his plans with peace of mind.

But neither He Li nor Miao Xiaoyu...

...knew that while they were busy making the game, Liu Yuyan had already noticed their situation.

After all, on the day the college entrance examination scores were released and he was interviewed by reporters...

He Li had used the interview to advertise that he was making a game.

And Liu Yuyan, wanting to win He Li back, was always looking for opportunities to get close to him.

But the problem was that He Li had been too busy these past few days.

Liu Yuyan had waited for a long time without finding a chance.

Finally, having no other choice, Liu Yuyan thought about going directly to where He Li worked to try and intercept him.

Although Liu Yuyan didn't know the way, fortunately, she opened her mouth to ask around in the neighborhood and actually managed to find out...

"You mean the top scholar of the college entrance examination? I know that!"

"They rented a room on the fifth floor."

"Hey, young lady, are you very close to them?"

Outside the building where He Li and the others worked, an auntie who had just returned from grocery shopping asked curiously.

Liu Yuyan nodded in response: "Yes!"

"We are classmates, and He Li even liked me once."

"Ah? Then aren't you..." The auntie was taken aback and somewhat surprised.

But she quickly noticed something wrong.

"That's not right, I always see that Top Scholar stuck to another very pretty young girl."

"Why do you say he likes you?"

The auntie's fire of gossip had already been ignited.

She had the look of someone who wouldn't let it go until she got to the bottom of it.

But Liu Yuyan had no time to tangle with the auntie; she already knew where He Li and the others worked, and now she had to act—she wanted to snatch back the He Li she liked from Miao Xiaoyu's hands.

So, upon hearing the auntie's words, Liu Yuyan didn't even bother to respond; she turned around and ran toward where He Li worked.

The auntie couldn't stop her even by calling out from behind.

She watched Liu Yuyan rush upstairs, frowning and shaking her head.

"What is wrong with this young lady?"

"She didn't even say thank you after asking?"

"And running so fast, she really couldn't be stopped!"

"Sigh, the young lady who often comes here is better."

"That young lady, she has such a sweet mouth..."

Thinking of Miao Xiaoyu, who would greet her whenever they met, the auntie revealed a happy smile and, not bothering to think more about Liu Yuyan, left. Meanwhile, Liu Yuyan had already arrived on the fifth floor and found the room where He Li was.

However, she was a bit late; today, it was rare for He Li and the others to finish their daily workload early, and they had already left.

Looking through the window at the empty room, Liu Yuyan felt a bit discouraged.

"Why is no one here? Could they have all gone back?"

"I had such a hard time finding this place."

"Damn He Li, couldn't you have worked a little longer?"

"Your game definitely isn't finished yet, right? You're going back this early when the game isn't even done?"

"Seriously..." Liu Yuyan stamped her foot.

She was just about to leave when her gaze inadvertently swept over a few documents on the table under the window, and her face showed surprise because she saw the name "Crucian Carp Studio" written on those documents.

Crucian Carp? He Li... Liu Yuyan... Li Yu?

It was as if she understood the meaning behind the name of the Studio.

Liu Yuyan swept away her previous frustration, her face full of joy.

"Hmph, damn He Li, always trying to argue with me!"

"You clearly still care about me, even taking one character from each of our names to form the Studio's name, yet you insist on acting cold, making me lower my head to you and take the initiative to chase you?"

"Just because I didn't accept your confession for the past three years?"

"Hmph, you really know how to be difficult!"

"Fortunately, I discovered this in advance."

"Otherwise, if I had really followed your plan and couldn't help but run over to chase after you..."

"...wouldn't you have gotten me so easily?"

The more Liu Yuyan thought about it, the angrier she got.

She had thought that He Li really didn't want her anymore.

It turned out to be a false alarm; it was just that guy He Li deliberately using a cold attitude to lure her in. However, with Miao Xiaoyu around, it was hard to guarantee that this wouldn't actually happen.

Liu Yuyan thought for a moment and secretly said to herself: "Although I don't want to let you get me so easily, I also don't want Miao Xiaoyu to succeed. Tomorrow, I will reluctantly give you a chance."

"I'll take the initiative to find you then..."

"Don't you dare continue to be unappreciative!"

Seemingly having come up with a plan, Liu Yuyan put away her thoughts and, feeling happy, skipped downstairs to leave.

She had to prepare for making up with He Li tomorrow.

And she also had to make He Li completely cut off contact with Miao Xiaoyu.

While preparing at home, Liu Yuyan didn't forget to tell her good friend Li Feng about her discovery today; however, after listening to Liu Yuyan, Li Feng fell silent...

"Crucian Carp Studio? Li Yu?"

"Is it possible that this actually means Li Yu?"

Li Feng pondered in her heart.

After all, He Li and Miao Xiaoyu were on very good terms.

Heaven knows if they had confirmed their relationship.

Li Feng had thought about telling Liu Yuyan this speculation.

But she couldn't be sure about this matter herself, and adding to that, Liu Yuyan's tone over the phone seemed incredibly happy, so she couldn't say much, worrying that saying too much would instead cause Liu Yuyan to dislike her.

However, she still reminded Liu Yuyan to think things over carefully.

"That's all I can do."

"It would be best if those two characters really represent Li Yu."

"But if those two characters represent Li Yu..."

"Then... Yu Yan, you will have been counterproductive!"

Putting down her phone and secretly praying a few words, Li Feng, having regained her composure, quickly contacted Li Lingjie, though it was unknown what she said. However, it looked like things would probably be very lively in front of He Li tomorrow...
