The delicate cannon fodder is stunning, saving the male supporting role but getting teased instead

Qin Xiao sent an in-game gift - it was the latest assassin couple skin, and it was a limited edition.

Wenrou looked at the prompt box that popped up on the screen, her fingers trembling slightly. She had been coveting this skin for a long time, but had never been willing to buy it.

"This is..."

"A gift for cooperation." Qin Xiao's voice suddenly became serious, and every word was pronounced with force. "Starting tomorrow, every night at 8 o'clock, double row live broadcast on time."

"Then...then Master, you have to keep your word," she said. "If you don't stand me up..." She deliberately said in a threatening tone, "I will...I will continue to live broadcast in that bunny ears costume!"

"Don't worry." Qin Xiao's character suddenly made a head-touching gesture. The assassin in the game gently rubbed Wenrou's hair. This intimate gesture made Wenrou's heart skip a beat. "When did I lie to you?" His voice was incredibly gentle, like a cup of hot cocoa in winter.

Wenrou was about to answer when she noticed Qin Xiao's microphone icon flashing in the corner of the game interface. A deep voice came softly, with a hint of hesitation and expectation:

"Actually, what I'm looking forward to more is...being able to play games with you like this when I'm not live streaming."

Her gentle heart skipped a beat, and she nearly dropped the mouse. The moonlight on the screen suddenly became exceptionally gentle, casting a radiant light on the intertwined shadows of the two assassins, like a layer of sweet icing on the night.

She opened her mouth, but found that she was too nervous to make a sound. She could only say "hmm" softly, so softly that it was almost inaudible.

But Qin Xiao obviously heard it, because he could hear his happy low laugh in the earphones, and a sentence so soft that it sounded like he was talking to himself: "That's great."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The result of playing games with Qin until late was that Wenrou was late for work the next day.

Although she was only five minutes late, it was a major career mistake for Wen Rou, who always arrived at the company half an hour early.

She stood downstairs of the company building, looking up at the towering Qin Building, biting her lower lip in annoyance - she shouldn't have played so late last night, and she shouldn't have acted like a spoiled child and dragged Qin into playing two more games when he said "last round".

"It's over, it's over..." Wenrou muttered to herself as she ran towards the elevator in her high heels, her pink blazer fluttering behind her.

As she frantically took her work badge out of her bag, her lipstick and powder box fell to the floor with a clatter, causing the receptionist to cover her mouth and laugh.

Just as the elevator door was about to close, Wenrou rushed in.

Due to the huge inertia, she fell forward and her forehead hit a strong chest hard.

The faint aroma of cedar instantly surrounded her, mixed with a faint hint of coffee aroma.

"Why are you so anxious?" A low, magnetic voice came from above my head, with a hint of teasing.

Wenrou suddenly looked up, and the first thing that caught her eye was the well-defined jawline, then the slightly rolling Adam's apple, and finally the face that was so familiar that it made her heart beat faster - Qin Xiao was wearing a dark gray custom-made suit today, with an exquisite button on his tie clip.

"Mr. Qin?!" The gentle voice suddenly rose, and she almost bit her tongue.

Only then did she realize that she was pressed against her boss, with one hand subconsciously grabbing his tie.

What was even more embarrassing was that the lipstick she had hurriedly applied this morning was now clearly printed on the collar of Qin Xiao's snow-white shirt, like a seal declaring sovereignty.

The air in the elevator froze instantly. Wenrou could clearly hear her own pounding heartbeat and the gasps of several colleagues behind her.

She tried to step back in a panic, but the inertia of the elevator's sudden start pushed her forward another step, and this time she stepped directly on Qin Xiao's shiny leather shoes.

"Yes, I'm sorry!" Wenrou was so panicked that even the tips of her ears turned red, and she didn't know where to put her hands.

She suddenly noticed a smile flashing in Qin Xiao's eyes, which made her face turn red instantly.

Qin Xiao calmly held her shoulders and said in a very low voice: "Yesterday I saw that Secretary Wen's account was always showing as being in the game. What time did she play until last night?" The warm breath brushed past her ears, making Wenrou tremble all over.

"Two, two o'clock..." she answered subconsciously, then realized something was wrong and her eyes widened in horror. Wasn't this a self-admitted admission of staying up late playing games last night?

Sure enough, Qin Xiao's lips curled up into a meaningful smile.

He slowly pulled an access card from his suit pocket and waved it gently under her gentle, dazed gaze. "It just so happens that I have a spare cot in my office." He paused, a smile barely concealed in his voice. "Come get it during lunch break. Don't stay up too late playing games."

====================================================================== ================

The elevator stopped at the top floor with a ding, and Wenrou almost ran away.

It was not until she rushed into the bathroom that she discovered in the mirror that not only was her lipstick smudged, but her hair was also a mess like a bird's nest - and all of this was seen clearly by Qin Xiao.

"It's over..." Wenrou buried her hot face in the cold water, her mind full of the lipstick mark on Qin Xiao's collar.

"You're so brave," Xiaolin, a colleague who was using the restroom nearby, couldn't help but lower his voice when he saw Wenrou. "How dare you leave lipstick marks on CEO Qin in the elevator? Everyone in the company knows that he has mysophobia..."

Wenrou opened her phone with tears in her eyes, and saw Qin's message in the top chat box:

[Good morning, are you up yet? I was a little late playing games with you yesterday, so don't be late today.]

She bit her lip and replied:

[Don’t mention it, I ran into my boss today and got caught late QAQ]

Meanwhile, in the president's office.

Qin Xiao loosened his tie, stared at the lipstick mark for a few seconds, and suddenly chuckled.

The assistant who came to deliver coffee looked up in surprise - the president, who was usually serious, now had a rare softness in the corners of his eyes.

Suddenly the boss's phone rang, indicating that someone had sent a message.

Seeing Qin Xiao pick up the phone, the assistant quickly put down the coffee in his hand and quietly retreated to avoid disturbing Qin Xiao's work.
