Offside game

When Su Yi returned home, he saw the TV was on, but An Jing was curled up on the sofa, already asleep.

Approaching her, Su Yi quietly gazed at her peaceful, baby-like sleep, her slightly pouting lips looking incredibly adorable. Su Yi couldn't resist lowering his head, touching her soft lips, and giving her a light kiss.

Anjing wasn't in a deep sleep. She slowly opened her hazy eyes, saw Su Yi in front of her, and said in a still-sleepy voice, "You're back."

"Go to bed," Su Yi said softly, looking at An Jing's tired face. He picked her up and carried her into the bedroom. An Jing wrapped her arms around Su Yi's neck and obediently let him carry her.

After gently placing Anjing on the bed, Su Yi went to wash up, then lay down beside her and held her in his arms.

"What time is it?" the girl asked sleepily.

"It's past eleven. Go to sleep." Su Yi felt the girl stir in his arms, find a comfortable position, and then settle down. Su Yi whispered in her ear, "Xiao Jing, I love you."

The girl smiled sweetly: "Me too..."

School has started, and school life continues.

Anjing moved back to her dorm. Su Yi's room was now empty except for him. Sometimes, he felt a little depressed. Anjing had been so busy before that she rarely stayed overnight at his place. And the night she had the best chance, Zhang Cheng had dragged him out for a strange chat until midnight. So, when he returned, feeling heavy-hearted, he hadn't taken the opportunity to sleep with Anjing. Even now, he and Anjing were still purely platonic. Of course, he wasn't sure if Anjing felt the same way.

He had originally planned to move out and live with Anjing, but before the villa in the Dream Technology Park was completed, he needed to find a suitable place first. He wanted to surprise Anjing, so he had kept quiet about it.

Students return to school early and late, and it seems that university life continues as before. However, there are still some differences.

Ji Yanran moved into Ji Rong's room and would occasionally come over for meals. Of course, this was contingent on them catching Su Yi in the apartment, as Su Yi's whereabouts were still quite elusive...

A hot rumor was circulating on campus: Xie Li, a music major, had participated in the "Angels Love to Sing" talent show's Beijing regional auditions during the summer vacation, becoming the top performer in the Beijing region and advancing to the finals. She had even taken leave from school to go to Changsha for pre-final training… Xie Li's name quickly gained popularity at Jinghua University. However, to Su Yi's dismay, when he finally had time to attend class, several male students he knew well secretly asked him about it, but it seemed he knew absolutely nothing about it. Rumors were indeed terrifying.

During this period, aside from spending weekends with An Jing or visiting Mo Yuqing and her daughter, Su Yi mainly focused on the production of the "Mechanical" online game. He also experienced the advantages of being a leader, as there weren't many decisions requiring his input at the company. The most important task Su Yi assigned to his secretary, Ai Moli, was to find him a house near a university, ideally close to Peking University, 150-200 square meters, and requiring minimal renovation. Surprisingly, within just three days, Ai Moli had found several options. After visiting them with her, Su Yi chose a residence near Peking University. It was a newly built complex, less than a year old, consisting of large apartments for wealthy families. The previous owner was emigrating and was selling their Beijing house, so they were eager to get rid of it. This place perfectly met Su Yi's requirements: only a ten-minute walk to Peking University's gate, and the interior was quite nice; even the original furniture and appliances could be purchased at a relatively low price. However, Su Yi planned to let An Jing decorate the house according to her own preferences, so he only kept the items that were difficult to disassemble and didn't want anything else. In the end, the homeowner had no choice but to give those items to a friend.

After finishing this task, Su Yi finally found an opportunity to place the house key in front of An Jing after having dinner with her.

"what is this?"

"key."

She glared at Su Yi, but An Jing's adorable expression made Su Yi laugh. "Hmph, I know this is a key. I'm asking you why you suddenly gave me a key like this?"

"Of course it's for you to use," Su Yi said innocently. Seeing that An Jing was about to assault him, he stopped being coy and said, "This is the key to our love nest. If you don't want it, I'll have to think about who else to give it to."

"Love Nest?" Taken aback by the term, An Jing hadn't even had time to take Su Yi's subsequent teasing to heart, but she had already pinched the soft flesh of his waist with her hand, applied a little pressure, and said in a deliberately sinister tone, like the tone often used by enemy agents to interrogate underground party members in movies: "Quickly tell us what happened."

"Well, I bought a house near your school, which we plan to use for our wedding. Anyway, there's no time like the present, so let's consummate our marriage today. What do you think, honey?"

"Hmph, who's going to marry you? You didn't even tell me before making this decision, how annoying." Although she said she was unwilling, Anjing held the key in her hand, and Su Yi noticed the sweetness on her face. However, he did like Anjing's little womanly charm, so he didn't say anything.

So, the two of them went together to the house Su Yi had just bought. The homeowner, after completing the formalities with Su Yi and receiving the money, had disposed of all the extra belongings and fled abroad with his entire family. The house now looked empty. Su Yi, holding Anjing's hand, said, "How you decorate this place is entirely up to my wife."

The thought of personally decorating the entire house filled Anjing with excitement, and she immediately asked Su Yi to accompany her to find an interior design company to create design plans. Seeing the girl's rare excitement, Su Yi was willing to let her have her way, so he found the best design company in Yanjing and drove Anjing there.

After consulting with the designers, Anjing browsed through their portfolios, chose a style she liked, and then began discussing home decoration with the female designer. Women are naturally meticulous when it comes to such matters, and Su Yi could only be an observer at this point, occasionally offering Anjing some suggestions. He felt that this process was even more tedious than managing a company. Of course, if Liu Jun knew his thoughts, he would probably criticize him, since Su Yi mostly acted like a hands-off manager at the company, only making decisions on major matters and plans.
