Hearing this boosted Ye Ci's confidence greatly. He rolled up his sleeves, immediately sat down at the computer, and began frantically typing away!

Pei Xingzhi remained relatively calm. He turned to Qin Song and asked, "How can you be so sure this game will be a hit?"

Qin Song: "...It's my intuition that tells me so."

Pei Xingzhi: "...Alright."

Although his intuition had no factual basis, it still gave him some confidence.

He put the documents away and continued working on the computer.

With nothing to do, Qin Song wandered around the room a few times out of boredom before starting to feel drowsy and sleepy.

After finishing her meal, Pei's mother went back to the tutoring center to continue her classes, leaving Qin Song alone in the studio. Qin Song sat in his chair and played on his phone for a while, but the more he played, the sleepier he became, so he simply lay down on the table and dozed off.

Pei Xingzhi took on several odd jobs in the morning. After modifying the modeling data, he worked on the client's job without even noticing when Qin Song fell asleep at the table.

It was Ye Ci who saw it and told him.

He temporarily put down what he was doing, pulled out a chair, and tiptoed to Qin Song's side.

Qin Song rested his face on his arm, his cheeks were squeezed into a round shape, and at first glance he looked a lot like Shin-chan.

Pei Xingzhi smiled faintly.

Qin Song was sleeping soundly, with soft snores coming from her breathing. Pei Xingzhi was reluctant to wake her, but he had no choice but to do so.

He bent down, gently patted the back of Qin Song's head, and softly called her name, "Qin Song, Qin Song?"

"...Hmm?" Qin Song opened his eyes groggily, too sleepy to even make out Pei Xingzhi's face. "What's wrong? Time to eat again?"

"No." Pei Xingzhi's voice was gentle, with a hint of amusement, which made Qin Song's heart skip a beat.

“Sleeping on your stomach is uncomfortable. Come with me, I’ll take you to bed.”

Qin Song straightened up, looking at him with a confused expression: "Where is the bed here?"

Pei Xingzhi grabbed her wrist and led her to her desk, saying, "To make it easier for her to rest, Ye Ci bought two bunk beds online a couple of days ago. I'll bring them out for you, and you can lie down and sleep on them."

"Although it's not as comfortable as home, at least it won't make you this tired."

Qin Song obediently followed behind Pei Xingzhi, and nodded upon hearing this: "Oh."

The four-poster bed was placed under the filing cabinet behind the desk. Pei Xingzhi took it out, unfolded it, and helped Qin Song lie down.

Qin Song rolled over and lay on his side, smiling contentedly: "It's quite comfortable."

Pei Xingzhi pursed his lips, unable to smile at all.

Qin Song was pregnant and already had to live in a rented room with him, but now she even had to make do with a hard bed for her afternoon nap.

He felt really bad.

Qin Song didn't think anything of it, and instead said cheerfully, "I'm going to sleep now, you guys keep it up."

Pei Xingzhi took off his coat and covered her with it, letting out a muffled "hmm".

Qin Song is not a picky person; she can sleep well even on a four-poster bed.

She closed her eyes quietly, her even breathing mingling with the intermittent tapping of the keyboard. Pei Xingzhi listened, feeling inexplicably at ease and at peace.

He was busy with his client's work, glancing back at Qin Song every now and then. Seeing Qin Song sleeping soundly made his fatigue dissipate.

"Brother Pei." Ye Ci sat opposite Pei Xingzhi, and could only call out to him in a whisper so as not to disturb Qin Song.

"Hmm?" Pei Xingzhi lifted his eyelids to look over.

Ye Ci: "You just openly showed our project documents to your sister-in-law like that? Aren't you afraid she'll... you know what?"

Pei Xingzhi glanced at the sleeping Qin Song and spoke softly but firmly: "Don't be afraid."

“She’s willing to trust me, so naturally I should trust her too. If we’re always on guard, then we’re not husband and wife.”

"……Oh."

Since Pei Xingzhi had already said so, he didn't need to repeat himself. But after thinking about it, he couldn't help but remind him again: "Brother Pei, we've already stumbled once because of Fang Bo. It was a terrible and heavy fall, and I don't want another Fang Bo to appear in our lives."

“I understand.” Pei Xingzhi adjusted his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses sharp and clear. “My trust is conditional. Rest assured, her every move is under my control. I will not let her become a second Fang Bo.”

The meaning of this sentence was quite profound, and it took Ye Ci several seconds to understand its significance.

He raised an eyebrow and gave Pei Xingzhi a relieved smile: "Since Brother Pei knows what's going on, then I won't worry about it anymore."

"Well……"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Song on the bunk bed suddenly stretched and rolled over. Pei Xingzhi quickly turned to look at her, and seeing that she hadn't opened her eyes, the wariness on his face eased slightly.

"Hmm." He responded softly, reaching out to pull up his slipped coat and cover Qin Song with it.

"Keep working, I need to go home early today."

Ye Ci gave him an "OK" sign: "Okay."

Qin Song took a full two-hour nap. When he woke up, Pei Xingzhi had already finished all the work for the project manager.

"Awake?" Pei Xingzhi put down his phone, slid his chair around, and looked at her with a faint smile.

"..." Qin Song's eyes were blank, his expression dazed, as if he hadn't heard anything and had no reaction.

She slept for so long that it seemed like she had lost her mind; she was completely drowsy and not fully awake.

Pei Xingzhi waited for her for a while, and seeing that she was standing there blankly without moving or saying anything, he stretched out a hand and waved it in front of her eyes.

"Qin Song, are you awake?"

"...Hmm?" Qin Song finally regained some consciousness and slowly and sluggishly looked up at Pei Xingzhi. "Hmm...I'm awake."

"Would you like some water?" Pei Xingzhi asked patiently.

Qin Song: "Yes."

Pei Xingzhi turned around and ordered Ye Ci, "Ye Zi, pour your sister-in-law a glass of water."

Ye Ci was changing his water at the water dispenser when he heard this. He laughed helplessly and said, "Brother Pei, how am I supposed to get water? Our studio's budget is always tight. Besides a bottle of purified water and our two cups, where else can we find extra water containers in the break room?"

"Huh?" Pei Xingzhi was completely unaware of this. "No containers for water? Not even disposable paper cups?"

Ye Ci shook her head: "No."

"..." Pei Xingzhi's expression immediately became a little awkward.

Seeing their troubled expressions, Qin Song pondered for a few seconds, intending to say that they weren't thirsty, but Pei Xingzhi suddenly handed him his water cup.

"If you don't mind, please use my cup."

"..." Qin Song stared at him in astonishment, hesitated for only a moment before taking the water glass with both hands.

"I don't mind it."

As soon as she finished speaking, she tilted her head back and gulped down the water in the glass. She then handed the glass back to Pei Xingzhi, saying, "Thank you."

Pei Xingzhi blinked, his expression slightly unnatural.

"You're welcome."

"Om - hum -"

Just then, Pei Xingzhi's phone rang. He glanced at the caller's name and immediately pressed the answer button.

"Hey, Mom."

Pei's mother's voice came clearly from the phone receiver: "Xingzhi, when can you get off work? Just come pick me up after get off work. Xiaoxuan was kept behind to work overtime again today and can't have dinner with us."

"Working overtime again?" Pei Xingzhi frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
