Chapter 4 - How can we live together? (1)
"Shuyao won't be back for another 3 and a half months." As Yue Xia said this, she tore off a calendar page.
Luo Ze glanced at her. "You remember it so clearly?"
Yue Xia had spring fatigue and sleepily said, "I wish someone could toss me to that day."
Luo Ze unhappily said, "Then you have to wait for Shuyao to come back."
They were in Luo Ze's office. It was a spring day, and the midday sun was getting stronger. Luo Ze opened her lunchbox and poked Yue Xia's hand. "Be careful, don't burn your tongue."
Yue Xia pulled her hand back. Seeing Luo Ze pushing the rice topped with beef towards her and smelling the food, she perked up. "I'm so hungry!"
After Luo Ze swallowed Shi Qingyin's business, the scale of her business expanded by a lot, and she also became busier. And, after being diagnosed with a mild stomach ulcer half a month ago, she could open-mindedly bring her lunch to work without worrying about appearances.
Yue Xia didn't understand at first. "What does this have to do with stomach ulcers?"
"I was always worried that people would laugh at me if I brought a homemade lunch," Luo Ze said with a cold expression, "Now I have a reasonable excuse. It's for my health."
"No way, no one would laugh at you." While engrossed in eating, Yue Xia waved her chopsticks and vaguely said, "The managers will think you're very cute."
If the employees weren't afraid of embarrassing Luo Ze, they would probably create a bot to praise her. Their fondness for their boss was on par with Yue Xia's.
Luo Ze paused in moving her chopsticks and quietly said, "What does this have to do with being cute…"
"By the way, didn't you say you wanted to grow hydrangeas in the office?" Yue Xia looked at the interior and saw that floor was empty. "What's wrong? Is it difficult to grow them in spring?"
"No." Luo Ze slowly ate. She swallowed the last grain of rice in her mouth before saying, "... One of the new employees is allergic to pollen, so I decided against it."
Yue Xia put down her chopsticks and looked at Luo Ze with bright eyes.
Luo Ze noticed her gaze. "...?"
Yue Xia: "Isn't that very cute?"
Luo Ze: "Don't use that word to describe me…"
Some time ago, the views on the third episode of Yue Xia's program on the city's special locations hit an all-time high. This was a city that was rapidly developing in modernization and industrialization, but there would always be historical remnants that didn't catch up to the times. Yue Xia stumbled onto a special spot in the city.
In the camera, she was standing in the center and served as the dividing line. There was steel and concrete on her left and the fields and the forests on her right. Tradition and modernity were separated on the small camera, which created a strong visual impact.
Yue Xia had taken the photos for fun. She didn't expect that the place would become a famous check-in spot because of her photos. Similar photos also appeared on major platforms.
The nearby villagers even started setting up small stalls nearby to sell beverages.
"Have you really never considered opening your own studio?" Luo Ze slipped the slices of beef from her bowl to Yue Xia's without her noticing while saying, "You'll have to go through more layers of bureaucracy now, more troublesome."
Yue Xia: "No need."
Luo Ze encouraged her, "You've been very enthusiastic about work lately."
"Ahh." Yue Xia stretched and suddenly thought; Shi Yunjian was probably napping right now.

"I wake up at 6:30 AM, take a nap at noon, leave work at 6:30 PM, and go to bed at 11 PM sharp…"
Yue Xia: "Do you keep to this schedule every day?"
Shi Yunjian: "Unless there are extenuating circumstances."
Yue Xia: "Well…"
Shi Yunjian noticed Yue Xia's increasingly odd expression. He tilted his head. "What's wrong?"
Yue Xia: "That's not good…"
"Not good?" Shi Yunjian asked, "Is there something wrong?"
"A big problem." Yue Xia carefully reflected on herself and touched her chin. "But it's not your problem, it's my problem."
His schedule was too healthy and precise. She was someone that would stay awake until 2 or 3 AM and sleep until 12:30 PM. They were practically on different time zones.
Almost as big as the time difference between China and the US.
Shi Yunjian was worried about this matter. "Don't sleep so late. It's bad for your health."
Yue Xia seriously said, "We have such different sleep schedules. How can we live together?"
She was genuinely considering this issue.
At this rate, Shi Yunjian looked like he was going to move in with her. He had almost no personal belongings in his new house. Perhaps, he simply didn't have particularly high demands on his quality of life to begin with.
Yue Xia had been over to his place and noticed something strange. Shi Yunjian's room was almost barren of personal belongings. All of the stuff in there was hers.
She had been worried that editing videos or streaming late at night might disturb her family, so she moved some of her equipment over there.
When Yue Xia came back to her senses from contemplating this matter, she noticed that Shi Yunjian had turned into an advanced version of a big tomato head.
Yue Xia asked, "Hey, what are you thinking about?"
Shi Yunjian denied with a flushed face. "I'm not thinking about that."
"Who are you trying to fool? You're definitely thinking about that." Although Yue Xia didn't know any better than him, she took on the tone of an experienced person as she earnestly said, "Although I just meant sleep, that kind of thing will happen sooner or later. You have to be mentally prepared. Don't worry too much about it."
Worrying would lead to crazy thoughts. It was better to take preventive measures by saying this first.
Every year, she saw many news reports of newlywed couples being sent to the hospital late at night, and that thought resonated in her heart.
Shi Yunjian almost buried his head into his shoulder out of embarrassment. "... Mhm."
