At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

From the day Kang Jia started working at 6 a.m., it seemed like his enthusiasm had infected everyone at Ideal Paradise.

In addition, the office space at the incubator was secured, and several people had been leaving early and returning late for five consecutive days.

They would leave for the office around six in the morning and not return until eleven at night.

That night, at half-past eleven, Gu Yu, dragging his exhausted body, arrived at the apartment only to see a graceful figure at the door.

"Xinyue? Why haven't you gone to sleep so late?"

Gu Yu entered and saw Lin Xinyue standing at the door waiting for him, a smile on her face.

The feeling of having someone wait for you to come home after work was truly wonderful.

Lin Xinyue hurriedly stepped forward to take the computer bag from his hand, then lovingly linked her arm with his.

"You've been pushing yourself too hard these past few days. Every morning, as soon as I wake up, everyone in your dorm has already left, and I'm already in bed by the time you all come back!"

"Is the game that urgent to develop?"

She rolled her eyes at Gu Yu, grumbling.

Gu Yu stretched out his hand to stroke her soft, long hair, then leaned in close to her neck and deeply inhaled her scent, "Everyone has finally gotten into the groove, so we want to make the most of this momentum and get as much done as possible.

"There's an old saying, 'strike while the iron is hot, otherwise energy fades after the first endeavor and exhausts after the third.' Right now, the five of us are striking while the iron is hot, planning to develop this game in one go!"

Lin Xinyue felt a tickle in her neck and hastily pushed his head away, pouting as she spoke:

"Yeah, yeah! I can't argue with you! But you have to take care of yourself! What if you wear yourself out?"

Seeing Gu Yu's weary face, Lin Xinyue felt very heartbroken.

He knew well how strong Gu Yu's constitution was; to see him this depleted illustrated just how hard he had been pushing himself these past few days.

Although she didn't know the specifics of game development, she knew that the computer industry was incredibly taxing on the mind.

No wonder news of sudden deaths among big tech company employees was common.

"It's okay, today we practically finished everything, and tomorrow we all will take a day off."

Gu Yu waved his hand and then his body continued leaning against Lin Xinyue.

For some reason, he particularly wanted to be close to Lin Xinyue today.

It seemed like she had a magical power on her that allowed him to relax.

"Tomorrow... tomorrow you really need to rest well!"

Lin Xinyue nodded, her words pausing for a moment as if she wanted to say something else, but seeing Gu Yu's fatigued face, she changed her tone.

Gu Yu instantly saw through her thoughts.

He lightly pinched her cheek, affectionately saying, "I know what you want to say, tomorrow is the day I accompany you home, right?"

"It's such an important occasion; I haven't forgotten. Tomorrow morning, I'll rest for half the day, then go shopping with you in the afternoon."

"After all, it's the first time I'm visiting, so I definitely need to be well-prepared."

Under Lin Xinyue's touched gaze, Gu Yu laid out tomorrow's plans.

Although he had been extremely busy these days, he had always kept everything Lin Xinyue asked of him in mind!

That's why he had specifically cleared out a full day to rest tomorrow—actually to prepare in advance.

"Hmm, I thought you might have forgotten…" Lin Xinyue blushed.

"I won't forget. Anything I promise you, I'll keep firmly in mind."

Gu Yu wrapped his arms around her waist, offering immense comfort.

"Alright! Since you remember, that's great! But you also need to rest well tomorrow! Although it's a trip back with me, don't stress too much. Just take it easy."

Lin Xinyue rested her head on Gu Yu's shoulder, feeling the dependable sense of security emanating from him.

"Tsk tsk, Boss, look at Laosi. Where's your Ya? How come she didn't come out to greet you?"

Yu Shutong and a few others followed behind Gu Yu, and despite their exhausted expressions, Yu Laoer still didn't forget to tease the boss.

"Ya went to bed early, she has to work tomorrow!"

Boss Pu glanced at Yu Shutong indifferently, unaffected by his taunting.

Not only that, he even struck back, "Laoer, don't you have a girlfriend? How come I almost never see her? You guys didn't break up, did you?"

With that comment from Boss Pu, Qin Shan also leaned in curiously.

Right! Laoer does have a girlfriend!

How come it feels like they hardly see each other once every fortnight?

They're at the same school, yet it feels like they're in a long-distance relationship!

"Ah... my girlfriend has been really busy lately, she wants to write a SCI paper before starting her graduate studies… She has been doing social research outside the campus all this time and hardly stays at the school."

Yu Shutong shook his head helplessly.

"Damn! She hasn't even started grad school, and your girlfriend is about to publish in SCI? No way? First, there's Kang Jia, the King of Competition, and now your girlfriend, this freak..."

"Freak isn't meant as an insult… It means she's awesome!"

"Publishing in SCI during undergrad? Are you kidding me! Is she planning to go straight to a PhD after securing her grad placement?"

Boss Pu and Qin Shan were both shocked.

They had met Laoer's girlfriend; she was reserved and not very talkative.

They thought she was just an ordinary college student, but damn, she's a top-tier scholar!

"Sigh…" Yu Shutong also sighed deeply.

Having such an academic girlfriend was really overwhelming for him.

He was still worried about what to do for his graduation project, and his girlfriend had already ventured down the grand avenue of scientific research, never to return!

"But Laoer, don't lose heart, with your abilities, securing a grad placement shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Boss Pu patted Yu Laoer's shoulder, offering comfort.

Yu Shutong also had several national awards from software competitions, and his professional grades were among the top in the department, although his overall grades were slightly worse than Laosi's, his professional skills were genuinely strong!

If he really wanted to pursue a master's degree, he could take the initiative to contact a grad school advisor in advance, securing a placement wouldn't be too difficult!

"No thanks, you guys know, there isn't much point in pursuing further studies in computer science, employment is still about the skills."

"Besides, my family situation isn't as awesome as Laosi's; my family is relying on me to work hard and earn money after I graduate!"

Yu Shutong shook his head, he wasn't interested in further studies.

His biggest goal now was to help Laosi successfully develop Ideal Paradise; he had a premonition that Ideal Paradise would become his lifelong career!

Especially after talking with Kang Jia today about the future prospects of the Huaxia gaming industry, he felt even more that he should make some achievements in this field. Read new adventures at empire

"Yu, my dream is to develop a top-notch 3A game made by Huaxia people... I want to show gamers all around the world that Huaxia's games aren't trash!"

Yu Shutong recalled what Kang Jia had told him, his eyes sparkled with hope.

It was the spark of like-minded ideals colliding.

Kang Jia's words had deeply touched his heart.

"Time for bed! We'll push hard again tomorrow, and Summoning God Dragon will be out!"

"It's just uncertain whether this time the Divine Dragon can soar to the skies!"

Upon opening the apartment door, Boss Pu immediately stripped off his shirt and headed straight for the bedroom.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The others also washed up and rested one after another.

The development progress of Summoning God Dragon was nearing its end; it would be launched in a couple of days.

Everyone's mood was both excited and anxious.
