Simulation Game: Crisis Management

Chapter 552 - 249: T1

Perhaps after returning to Dragon Tiger, Zhang Wenjun remembered his past experiences.

He didn’t want Gu Ji to repeat Liang Xiaojia’s mistakes.

After tidying up his desk, Gu Ji booked a flight back to Jingzhou during lunchtime, intending to visit his mom and family.

He still owed Chen Zhiyu a meal.

Although three months had passed, Gu Ji still felt a bit awkward, but knowing he had to face it sooner or later, he arranged to meet her that evening.

They planned to meet near the commercial street at Ningzhou Old Street.

"Just stop here, thank you," Chen Zhiyu asked the taxi driver to park by the roadside. She opened the car door and looked at the bustling street on this Friday evening, instinctively feeling nervous.

"Whoo-hoo... Relax, be natural."

Chen Zhiyu took a deep breath and headed to the meeting place.

"Hey? How have you been lately? You seem to have become even prettier!" Gu Ji, standing under a street lamp outside the central mall, murmured to himself, trying to come up with a casual conversation topic. But after thinking for a while, it still felt awkward, almost better not to say anything.

"It seems better to let it be..."

Just as Gu Ji was about to turn around and see where Chen Zhiyu was, a dark green figure suddenly appeared in front of him, almost startling him.

It was mainly because it was Friday, and the area was crowded with people.

Moreover, his mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Chen Zhiyu, so he wasn’t aware of someone approaching from behind.

Chen Zhiyu didn’t expect it either. She was only looking at this tall man in a black coat, his back somewhat resembled Gu Ji, and since the location matched, she thought to get a closer look.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she approached, the man suddenly turned around, almost bumping into her.

"Chen Zhiyu?"

"Gu Ji!"

They were both a bit surprised when they clearly recognized each other.

Compared to three months ago, Chen Zhiyu’s hair had grown quite a bit, making her look completely different from her previous short-haired self, seeming to evolve into a kind, elder sisterly figure like Ding Lan.

As for Gu Ji, after three months of training at Jinbang.

He spent almost every day under the sun on the plateau; although the temperature was low, there was plenty of sunlight, so his skin got a shade darker.

Plus, he was physically pushed by Qiu Junrong; whether it be his stature, frame, or muscles, all showed a slight improvement, making him more robust than before, with a touch of straightforwardness typical of Northwestern people.

"Gosh, you scared me!"

Chen Zhiyu lowered her head, hiding her racing heartbeat, almost losing it at his sudden transformation!

Yet she quickly decided she mustn’t show it.

So she pretended to be calm and reached out, giving his shoulder a firm pat, "Well, it’s only been three months you’re almost a charcoal, so ugly!"

"Ugly?"

Gu Ji raised his eyebrows, not feeling he changed much, "But you’ve changed quite a bit too, with longer hair you look more gentle than before."

"What!?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhiyu’s voice immediately shot up several octaves, "Are you saying I wasn’t gentle before?"

"Well, your temper with me wasn’t exactly great."

"You lousy Gu Ji, are you trying to provoke me, huh? I’m going to eat till you’re broke!"

"Hehehe, I just got paid my bonus, even if you eat like a pig, it’ll be enough."

"Get lost!"

Seeing the puffy and annoyed Chen Zhiyu, Gu Ji suddenly felt the familiar ease between them returning.

Maybe.

It’s truly because they’ve known each other for that long...

Two days later.

It was already the second day of Gu Ji’s return to Jingzhou. After getting off the plane yesterday, he visited his grandparents, both maternal and paternal, then spent the whole day at home with his mom.

This afternoon, he finally had time to return to his room and check on his game levels.
