Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Night in Shanghai.

It's still beautiful.

Especially when night falls and the city lights come on, the colorful neon lights reflect the city's prosperity.

In the streets and alleys, all kinds of buildings show their unique beauty under the light.

There were quite a few pedestrians on the seaside walkway.

A sea breeze blows, the lights are dim, and tourists throng the streets, creating a bustling and prosperous scene.

Lin Li and Su Shanshan walked side by side, and the handsome man and beautiful woman attracted the attention of many passersby. Some older women even nodded silently, thinking that the two were a good match.

The two walked in silence for a while, then Su Shanshan suddenly said, "I feel like you've changed a bit since you came back from your business trip."

"What has changed?"

"I can't explain it..."

Su Shanshan hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not tell the truth.

She felt that since Lin Li returned from his business trip, apart from changes in his work...

He became more proactive towards her.

It all started with that little thing—calling her Shanshan—and later, the two of them sat side by side.

In many ways, Lin Li's attitude towards her was nothing like that of a boss towards an employee.

It's more like... a husband to his wife...

To be more specific, it feels a bit like an old married couple?

Whether it's bringing her a cup of her favorite milk tea during meals or sometimes bringing her her favorite snacks.

Knowing that she had some back pain, they even approved a budget for her to get a new chair.

At first, Su Shanshan was happy about these little actions, but upon closer reflection, she found them rather strange.

After all, it's her taste, and the snacks she likes.

But I've never told Lin Li about it.

The two did have some contact in college, but they never mentioned these things.

Chapter 41 Confusion, huh?

How did he know?

After much thought, Su Shanshan came to a conclusion: Lin Li definitely liked her, maybe even back in college, and must have been observing her preferences.

That's why this happens.

After realizing this.

Su Shanshan then began to carefully observe Lin Li.

Looking at many of the things Lin Li did, they suddenly seemed to make perfect sense.

This further confirmed that Lin Li definitely liked her.

For a long time, she struggled with whether or not to accept Lin Li's confession.

however.

A month or two has passed, and although Lin Li is still warm towards her, he hasn't taken any further action.

This made Su Shanshan feel a little restless.

That's how the current scene happened.

Lin Li didn't think in that direction; he assumed Su Shanshan was referring to the changes in his work after he traveled back in time.

He then remarked with considerable emotion, "Perhaps it's because people's thoughts always change after experiencing so many things."

Lin Li was reflecting on his work, but Su Shanshan felt that he was talking about matters of the heart.

This is a stone hammer.

However, Su Shanshan still felt a little strange about this.

Although the two went to university together and later started a business together, it's understandable that they went through a lot together. Could it be that Lin Li fell in love with him because of the long time they spent together?

Or is it just that I'm overthinking everything?

The two of them continued walking forward.

Suddenly I saw a small stall selling stinky tofu.

Speaking of which, these roadside snack stalls are quite amazing in China.

Whether it's a scenic spot, a roadside, or a construction site, as long as there's enough foot traffic, it seems like these things can appear randomly.

If Su Shanshan were alone at this time, she would definitely have bought it and eaten it.

But when she was with Lin Li, she pretended not to like him very much.

Lin Li glanced at the girl but didn't say anything. Instead, he took her hand and led her to the stall, where he bought a serving.

"Want to eat?"

Sitting on a bench on the walkway, I looked at the sea under the night sky and felt the sea breeze.

"Aren't you going to eat it? It's delicious."

After Lin Li finished speaking, he picked up a piece of food and put it into Su Shanshan's mouth.

The girl instinctively opened her mouth and ate a piece.

It tastes familiar and quite delicious.

Then I felt that the action was also quite ambiguous.

But Lin Li acted as if nothing was wrong.

"You...you know I like stinky tofu?"

Lin Li shook his head, then nodded.

“I didn’t know before, but I do now.”

In fact, Lin Li was lying.

In his previous life, after selling his company, he didn't immediately return to his hometown, but stayed in Shanghai for a while longer.

He was very disappointed during that time.

Su Shanshan, being a friend and a founding member of their business, went out to drink with him.

As they drank, Lin Li got quite drunk.

It was Su Shanshan who took him home.

Later on, the two gradually developed feelings for each other and eventually got together.

Of course, in this timeline, none of this seems to have happened yet.

However, Lin Li's memories and habits remained unchanged, so while Su Shanshan was still somewhat unfamiliar with Lin Li, Lin Li was quite familiar with Su Shanshan...

Hmm... it's not entirely unfamiliar.

Because the two of them continue to work together in this timeline, which didn't happen in the previous life, Lin Li is actually quite curious whether their relationship will develop in some interesting ways because of their work in this life.

Something feels off...

Su Shanshan ate her tofu, frowning, unable to understand what Lin Li meant.

Lin Li gave the whole box of tofu in his hand to Su Shanshan.

She stood up, stretched her limbs, turned around and said with a smile, "You, you just love to analyze. Although as a copywriter, sketching out a person's outline in a few strokes can indeed be considered a basic skill to practice, and can also analyze a person's personality traits, you don't need to use this trick on me."

Su Shanshan was slightly taken aback. She did have this little quirk, which came about while writing novels, but this was the first time someone had revealed this little secret.

"Why can't I use it on you?"

"Because there are many people in this world who are good at disguising themselves, or who are cunning and deep, or who are simply unpredictable and don't even know what they want."

Su Shanshan glared at him and said, "So you're saying that you yourself are confused, so I can't see through you?"

Lin Li shook his head.

"No, I'm not confused right now."

However, Su Shanshan shook her head and put the tofu in her hand aside.

"Since you know I enjoy studying people, do you know what you look like in my eyes?"

Lin Li really didn't know that.

So he asked with a smile.

"how is it like?"

Su Shanshan stood up and carefully looked at Lin Li's face.

“You say you’re not confused right now, but in my opinion, you’re obviously extremely confused. Ever since the day ‘Girls on the Front’ was launched, you’ve been working overtime like crazy. You could have taken a break in between, but you didn’t.”

"You could enjoy a comfortable life, but you chose to sleep at the company and spend more time at work than anyone else."

"If we had launched the game in the first place, we would have been busy with other things."

"But now that the company has been streamlined, you're still working overtime as usual..."

“My mother said that only when a person is extremely confused will they frantically look for things to do, and I feel that’s you.”

"Sometimes, I can't tell what you really care about. The company? Games? Success?"

"It seems like you value everything, yet you don't really value anything. You're like duckweed, drifting wherever the waves take you. Your attitude towards life is like you're performing, thinking that you've reached a certain point in the story and this is how it should be acted, so you start babbling and gesturing wildly. But the problem is, there's no audience. Who are you performing for?"

Lin Li stared at Su Shanshan's face and suddenly froze.

He thought about it carefully, and it seemed to make sense.

Since he transmigrated, he had rarely thought about these things, and he couldn't help but feel a chill down his spine.

After a while, she winked and made exaggerated expressions, saying, "Wow, Su Shanshan, such a beautiful view, do you have to make the topic so heavy, making me feel like a robot?"

"Your acting is terrible."

Su Shanshan chuckled.

Lin Li smiled and then took out a White Rabbit milk candy from his pocket and handed it to Su Shanshan.

Su Shanshan took the candy, puzzled, and casually asked, "Why are you suddenly giving me candy?"

"Shut up. As the saying goes, 'Don't say what you've seen through.' We should probably head back now; we have to go to work tomorrow."

Su Shanshan didn't press the matter and cutely pouted her lips, saying okay.

He sneered inwardly.

Hmph, you pretended to know everything about me all day long, but now you've finally moved back.

On the other hand, Su Shanshan became even more curious about Lin Li. It seemed that her ramblings had actually come true.

But... why would you say it's correct?
