System, are you messing with me?

Ark 1 - Life is full of more questions than answers

Shu Ning stayed at the Company for a little while longer, eating together with Sheng Su before finally being let of.

He actually just wanted to stay in the office until he found out the purpose of the girls visit and  if needed, disrupt the male and female leads first meeting. But when Shu Ning entered the Company, Fan Li hadn't even entered the office yet. It was a surprise to see the girl walking back and forth in front of the door while mumbling about something incoherent. 

Shu Ning was curious to know what she was saying, so he walked closer to the female but before he could get close enough, the woman noticed his shadow on the ground and raised her head to look straight at him. 

"Oh. Hello."

Fan Li looked really surprised to see a young boy at a place like this and couldn't help but scan his body with her eyes. But that made her even more shocked that she couldn't help but exclaim loudly.

"It's you?"

"I'm glad that you can still remember me. My Name is Meng Yi. I didn't think I would see you like this again."

Shu Ning raised the corner of his lips into a sweet smile. Even his eyes exuded a warm light making the boy even more charming.

The girl turned her head away from the youth's face to hide the light blush on her cheeks. 

"Yes. I didn't expect it either. I'm Fan Li."

"Fan Li. That's a nice name. Can I ask if you are here to visit Sheng Su as well?"

Shu Ning pointed towards the closed office door and raised his brows in question. Fan Li didn't seem to notice how the boy called the heir to the Sheng Company in such a familiar way.

"You too? I have some business with the young master as well."

The girl lifted her fingers to fiddle with her long hair in embarrassment. Her head was bowed down, so that the boy could clearly see the parting of her hair. Fan Li looked as if she did something wrong and was reprimanded by a child that was younger than her. It was a really ridiculous sight, so Shu Ning just shook his head helplessly and walked up to stand next to her.

"Then let's knock."

Before the girl could even say anything or lift her head up again to look at the youth, Shu Ning had already hit his knuckles on the door, making them both known to the inhabitant of the room. There was a short silence but not for long until Sheng Su gave them permission to enter the room. The female didn't dally this time and walked into the office right behind the boy.

It was a big room with a wide window covering the entire wall. The desk was placed directly in front of the glass, so that the sun shone on the back of the man sitting behind the table, shrouding his handsome face in a dark shadow. Just a pair of bright blue eyes shone proudly in the darkness. And those eyes were now fixed on the youth's body.

A strange feeling of restlessness passed through Shu Ning from being watched so intensely. The boy almost couldn't help but getting lost in the Man's beautiful eyes but he reminded himself of his reason for coming over and over again until he finally calmed down again. 

Shu Ning took out the lunch Box he brought and presented it to his brother with a cheerful smile that screamed 'praise me'. Sheng Su's expression distorted from the flashiness of the food for a second and Shu Ning had to hold himself back a lot to not just start laughing at the Man's surprised expression. That guy probably didn't expect that the child could cook and would even prepare some food for him. If it was still Meng Yi in this body, then a situation like this really wouldn't arise because the child definitely couldn't cook. He never even touched the stove before. But now that Shu Ning took over, he would even prepare food if it was necessary but he always hated standing in the kitchen for hours, so if he could use the System Store to buy food why should he dirty his hands? As long as Sheng Su doesn't find out that the lunch wasn't actually prepared by him, he was safe.
