Happy times are always short.

On Monday morning, everyone boarded the bus back home.

A colleague who brought goldfish on board this time carried an empty bucket.

"I released them in Mr. Shi's fish pond. At least they won't starve with Mr. Shi."

He was quite open-minded about it.

Bell was reluctant to leave me. Czechoslovakian Wolfdogs were prohibited in the city, so it could only stay on the estate.

But I promised to bring Da Fu to play with it when I had the time.

Shi Huai Zhao insisted on personally sending me home, but I refused.

"I don't want to become the subject of gossip for everyone just yet."

"When can we go public then?" He seemed anxious.

"Let them discover it gradually on their own, just don't make it too high-profile."

Shi Huai Zhao nodded, seeming to understand but not entirely.

Next came the peaceful and uneventful work life, except for Shi Huai Zhao frequently chatting with me on the company's WeChat.

"Xiao Jin, Xiao Jin, want to drink milk tea? I'll get it for you."

This time he didn't use that prince's account.

"Sure, I want a strawberry and raspberry flavored one."

Just as I sent the reply, the manager came to my side and assigned tasks, startling me, so I quickly switched screens.

Five minutes later, I returned to the chat interface, but Shi Huai Zhao was probably busy again and hadn't sent any new messages.

How is he going to give me the milk tea later? He definitely thought of using food delivery to get my contact information.

Ah, it's another perfect afternoon.

I stretched lazily and entered the office.

"Mr. Shi said he'll treat everyone to milk tea. Everyone, please quickly let me know what you want through private messages~"

Half an hour later, the assistant called a few guys to distribute the milk tea packages to everyone.

Amidst the noise of people, Shi Huai Zhao walked to my side with two cups of milk tea.

He inserted the straws, wrapped the cups with tissue paper to catch the cold water droplets, and handed the milk tea to me.

"Zhong Jin, what a coincidence, we both have strawberry and raspberry flavored ones."

Then he thoughtfully took away the other trash.

He really understood not to make it too high-profile.
