The afternoon sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting its glow on the two people sitting on the wooden floor by the window.

"I think the family system could use some additions, especially in terms of interactions between families."

Vivian sat next to Nai Shawn, speaking as she scribbled in a small notebook. This green-covered notebook was something Vivian had recently bought, filled with various fragmented ideas about Dreaming 2.

As a seasoned player, Vivian's opinions were insightful, but Nai Shawn seemed distracted.

"How about this piece?"

Vivian was annoyed: "Mr. Xiao, are you even listening?"

"Hmm," Mr. Xiao said, "Once your ideas are mature, write a report for me."

"..."

Vivian angrily lowered her head and bit his wrist.

The melody didn't falter.

Nai Shawn was playing a piece of music from a scene in Dreaming 2, one of the tracks sent by Director Fang's music studio the day Vivian arrived.

After finishing the piece, Nai Shawn pondered for a moment, made a few notes on the sheet music, then put down the pen, stretched out his long arms, and pulled someone over, pinning them to the floor, returning the bite with a kiss.

"You..."

Vivian didn't have time to say anything before her lips were sealed.

Although Vivian had been hugged and kissed by him many times recently, being pinned to the floor was a first, and she felt her little heart couldn't handle such intimacy.

However, in a battle of courage, the brave win. Not only was he strong, but he was also cunning. Vivian was powerless to resist and could only let him have his way.

Several minutes later, Nai Shawn finally let her go but didn't get up, his warm breath falling on her neck. Vivian panted, her eyes dazed for a while before coming back to her senses, unable to help but doubt: "Are you really in love for the first time?"

It didn't seem like it at all! Every time she was left defenseless by him...

"Hmm." Nai Shawn's voice was a bit lazy.

"You're too skilled for a first-timer."

"Seeing you, I learned without a teacher," Nai Shawn lightly bit her earlobe, "and I've rehearsed it many times in my mind."

After a few more rehearsals, the lunch break was over. Nai Shawn buttoned up his shirt, ready to leave, while Vivian ran into the bathroom, looking at herself in the mirror.

Eyes watery... that could be from being sleepy.

Cheeks flushed... that could be from the sun.

But what about the lips!

Could she say it was from a spicy mosquito bite?!

Those people who were clearly busy but always had time to tease her wouldn't miss the opportunity, especially with George Yu around!

Vivian walked out of the bathroom, feeling down, as Nai Shawn was already changing his shoes, casually asking, "Are you going this afternoon?"

Although it was the weekend, many people were working overtime at the company due to a new round of targets, so Nai Shawn naturally had to go. Whether Vivian, an intern, went or not didn't matter, so Vivian shook her head: "I'm not going!"

"Interns don't get paid, I want a vacation!"

Nai Shawn graciously didn't expose her, but still called her to the door and kissed her forehead: "Then you stay home, don't go to Sally's."

"Oh." Vivian looked at the enthusiastic sun outside, not really wanting to go out, but after Nai Shawn left, she couldn't help but mutter softly, "... This isn't my home."

The house Vivian was currently in wasn't Sally's, but Nai Shawn's own place. Nai Shawn had a psychological barrier about being intimate in someone else's home, and Vivian didn't dare go to his parents' house, so this previously seldom-used house was now greatly utilized. Often during the day, Vivian would be here with Nai Shawn, and at night, Nai Shawn would take her back.

After Nai Shawn left, Vivian was bored and went back to her room to go online.

Not going to the company was a bit dull, so Vivian wandered online for a while, remembering that her little tiger hadn't been fed for days, so she logged into "Dreaming of Jianghu."

The little tiger, initially with poor innate attributes, had improved under Vivian's patient nurturing. Vivian fed it some elixirs and, seeing that her warehouse was out of stock, went to the Chang'an market to restock.

Unexpectedly, at the Chang'an market, she saw the long-absent Butterfly Dream, who had set up a stall selling items. Vivian was a bit surprised and sent a message: "Is it Butterfly Dream?"

Hopefully, she hadn't sold her account to someone else.

Sure enough, Butterfly Dream quickly replied: "Yes."

Vivian: "Haven't seen you in a while."

Butterfly Dream: "Haha, work's been too busy."

Vivian had always thought Butterfly Dream had completely left the game, so she was pleasantly surprised to see her return. She wanted to ask about her recent situation but was afraid of being abrupt, so she didn't. They chatted casually for a bit, and Butterfly Dream suggested teaming up to fight a Boss.

Joining them to fight the Boss was Thunder Nina, and the three of them tackled a not-too-difficult dungeon. Normally, three people should have had an easy time with this dungeon, but due to Butterfly Dream's frequent mistakes, they almost wiped out.

Butterfly Dream smiled wryly: "I haven't been here for two months, and I can't even fight a Boss anymore."

Butterfly Dream's mood seemed not too good. As Vivian was thinking this, Thunder Nina messaged: "Butterfly Dream is in a bad mood lately."

"Why?"

"Maybe she's not used to being back in the guild. In the past two months, many of the old members have left, and many newcomers have joined, treating Little Rain Fairy like a god. Many people don't even know Butterfly Dream is the guild leader."

"Didn't Warrior World return the guild leader position to her?"

"No, and now Butterfly Dream's level and equipment aren't as high as Warrior World's."

"T__T"

"Little Rain Green is still in the guild too. That woman is so annoying. If I didn't love the guild, I would have left long ago."

At this point, Vivian realized a problem: "Butterfly Dream and Warrior World..."

Thunder Nina said: "They're back together. I asked Butterfly Dream, and she said she was sick recently, and Warrior World took care of her, so she softened."

As they were talking, Thunder Nina suddenly disappeared, and a few minutes later, she came back complaining: "Ugh, being at home is bad. The telecom connection to the server is either lagging or dropping. How's your speed, Vivian? You're on telecom now, right?"

"No, I'm back in City B, using Netcom."

"Oh? Why are you back in City B so early?"

"Internship during summer break."

"Ugh... don't mention internships, I haven't even gotten a stamp yet."

These few words were said in the team channel, so Butterfly Dream could see them too. She, who hadn't spoken much, asked: "Vivian, are you in City B now?"

"Yes ^_^"

Butterfly Dream didn't say anything more. After finishing the dungeon, she suddenly said: "Vivian, are you free now? How about coming out for afternoon tea?"

Vivian was quite surprised by this invitation. She was never keen on meeting online friends, but now that Butterfly Dream was in a bad mood, refusing seemed like adding insult to injury.

She hesitated a bit, and then Thunder Nina sent a private message: "Vivian, you should accompany Butterfly Dream. Because of Warrior World and the guild, she's not in a good mood. Comfort her."

Thinking of Butterfly Dream and Warrior World's issues, Vivian, immersed in her own little happiness, felt a bit soft-hearted, so she agreed without further thought.

While chatting with Butterfly Dream and the others, suddenly, a window popped up on the computer screen, startling Vivian.

"Vivian."

Two words appeared in the window.

Vivian hesitantly typed: "Great God?"

"Hmm."

"... Can't you use a normal chat tool?"

"This is convenient."

"..." But it's scary, okay.

"Suddenly remembered, a relative's villa is empty."

"Huh?"

"It has a swimming pool."

"@_@"

"Want to go swimming?"

"Yes!" Vivian quickly replied.

"Can you swim?"

"No!" Vivian said confidently, "But I want to watch!"

Watching the Great God swim was a wish she had since watching him play basketball!

Being interrupted by the Great God's sudden appearance, she momentarily forgot about the game, leaving her character Reed Vivian standing still, while Thunder Nina called out several times.

"Vivian."

"Vivian?"

"Vivian..."

...

...

Vivian quickly spoke up to stop her spamming: "I'm here, just had something to do."

"Oh, thought you were lagging too."

Butterfly Dream asked: "Vivian, are you in the XX district?"

The XX district is where many universities in City B are concentrated. Vivian replied: "Yes."

Butterfly Dream said: "How about the Pizza Hut on XX Road?"

Vivian thought for a moment, XX Road wasn't far from University A, so she agreed: "Okay ^_^"

After agreeing on the time and place to meet and exchanging phone numbers, Vivian opened the Great God's window again.

"I'm going to meet Butterfly Dream in a bit."

Nai Shawn replied after a while: "Hmm."

Although he didn't say anything, Vivian sensed he didn't like her meeting online friends, so she explained: "At the Pizza Hut on XX Road, just for afternoon tea, it won't be long."

Nai Shawn said: "I'll pick you up for swimming later. Oh, and bring my swimsuit."

Men's swimsuit, which is actually just swim trunks...

The Great God's swim trunks, such a... magical existence, Vivian blushed just thinking about it, let alone rummaging through the closet. Vivian opened the wardrobe Nai Shawn mentioned, not daring to look closely, grabbed a black, smooth fabric that seemed like swim trunks, quickly stuffed it into her bag, and then went out to meet Butterfly Dream.

More than half an hour later, Vivian arrived at Pizza Hut.

Butterfly Dream's text said she had chestnut-colored long curly hair and was wearing a dark green long dress... Vivian glanced around Pizza Hut and saw her at the innermost window seat.

Vivian walked towards her.

Butterfly Dream was originally lost in thought, looking out the window, but gradually heard footsteps, and in the corner of her eye, she seemed to see a captivating bright color approaching. She instinctively turned her head and met a pair of bright, clear eyes.

The owner of those bright eyes saw her and gave her a gentle smile, revealing a hint of white teeth. That smile was like the first bloom of an epiphyllum, making one feel a sudden burst of brilliance, dazzlingly beautiful.

A thought slowly surfaced in Butterfly Dream's mind, though she found it unlikely. However, the girl actually stopped in front of her. Butterfly Dream, surprised, was nearly lost in thought, and after a while, asked: "... Are you Reed Vivian?"

Vivian nodded, sat down across from her, and greeted with a smile: "Hello, Butterfly Dream."

Vivian and Butterfly Dream sat in Pizza Hut until almost five o'clock before leaving.

Most of the time, it was Butterfly Dream talking and Vivian listening, but Vivian understood that Butterfly Dream was in a bad mood and just needed someone to listen.

In the end, Butterfly Dream invited Vivian to dinner, but Vivian politely declined: "I'm going swimming in the evening, and I heard you shouldn't eat before swimming."

Butterfly Dream understood: "With your boyfriend?"

Vivian nodded, and thinking of Nai Shawn, her eyes unconsciously filled with light.

"A beauty like you, your boyfriend must be head over heels for you." Butterfly Dream looked at her, a hint of envy in her eyes.

Vivian was taken aback, wanting to say something, but felt that nothing was appropriate, so she just smiled and took a sip of tea.

After parting with Butterfly Dream, Vivian called Nai Shawn.

"I'm done here."

"Hmm, I'm on my way." Actually, Nai Shawn had finished his work long ago, but his manners and grace would never allow him to rush her.

Vivian gave him the location, about to hang up, when Nai Shawn suddenly asked: "Did you buy a swimsuit?"

"..."

"Want to go buy one together?" Nai Shawn said, holding his car keys and heading out.

"No need! I'll buy it myself!"

There was a big supermarket next to Pizza Hut, so Vivian slipped in and casually bought a swimsuit, of course, the most conservative kind, with a skirt at the bottom.

After paying and coming out of the supermarket, Vivian saw Nai Shawn's car already parked by the roadside.
