They wanted to make a trashy game, but how come it sold like hotcakes again?

Chapter 36 New Year's Eve

To be honest, this was the most relaxed week Tang She had had since he agreed to Uncle Ren's request.

He didn't contact the senior student, and Ren Wei didn't contact him either.

He no longer had to think about how to hide it from his senior, how to make the company lose money, or be tormented by his own conscience.

All that remained in his heart was peace.

He felt a little guilty, but he decided to give the fourth round of rewards settled tonight to his senior as compensation.

After that, he left the company and used his own money to make independent games. Although it might be very difficult to get started, with the system around, at least he wouldn't lose money.

The orphanage has always reserved a room for him, and he has been staying there recently.

Today is Lunar New Year's Eve.

The New Year's goods have been prepared long ago, but the aunties are also on holiday, so today only the director, him, and another auntie who also lives alone and simply moved into the orphanage are preparing today's reunion dinner.

There are seventy or eighty children in the orphanage. The three of them usually manage to cook, but today is New Year's Eve, so the meal will definitely be more lavish. Therefore, the three of them started preparing early.

At this moment, the dean suddenly asked:

"How are things going between you and that girl?"

Tang She, who was engrossed in chopping vegetables, was taken aback upon hearing this, and then waved his hand.

"I had nothing with him. He's my boss. That day was purely for work purposes. Don't you, Dean, know that?"

The dean smiled and shook his head without saying anything, while the aunt also showed a maternal smile.

Feeling bewildered, Tang She continued chopping vegetables. Just then, the naughtiest little boy in the orphanage ran into the kitchen, holding a snowball in his hands. He had originally intended to shove it into Tang She's arms, but seeing that Tang She was chopping vegetables, he had no choice but to give up and throw the snowball out the window.

He knocked on the kitchen door to get Tang She's attention, and then said:

"Brother, your wife is here."

Tang She put down the kitchen knife, walked over, tapped him on the head, and then said:

"What nonsense are you talking about during the New Year? I don't have a wife."

The aunt, who had been smiling like a doting mother, said:

"Little Tang, that girl said she'd come to the orphanage to celebrate the New Year today."

"?"

What's going on here? Why can't Tang She understand what his aunt is saying?

------------------------------------------

Tang She followed the little boy into the orphanage's hall, where a group of children were surrounding the older girl, receiving gifts from her hands.

Hearing footsteps, the senior student looked up and waved the gift in her hand to greet Tang She.

Tang She rubbed his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.

He arranged for the two oldest and most sensible children to continue distributing the gifts, then pulled the older student aside and asked in a low voice:

"Senior, what brings you here?"

Ren Wei handed the box to Tang She, and then she also felt puzzled.

"Didn't I tell the dean before that I was going to spend the Chinese New Year here? The dean said that a room had been reserved for me."

This is completely irrelevant.

And you're right, as expected of the dean, knowing he might refuse, he acted first and informed the dean later.

Now that people have brought gifts, can Tang She still turn them away?

It doesn't exist.

However, he couldn't understand his senior's thought process either.

If you already know your purpose, why did you come here?

The senior seemed to sense his confusion and spoke directly.

"Have you forgotten that you're supposed to pretend to be my partner?"

Sometimes Tang She felt it was really hard to understand earthlings. Didn't she know everything? Why did she still pretend to be a couple?

"Doesn't Uncle Ren already know about our relationship? Why are you still pretending?"

"That was information from before. I told him that I really fell in love with you while you were pretending to be my boyfriend."

Oh my god, there's a second level.

"Aren't you afraid I'll tell on you again?"

Ren Wei shook her head.

She has been reviewing what happened during this period over the past few days.

First of all, she didn't expect that her father wouldn't care about her playing games.

Because her father was too strict when she was young, she thought he wouldn't agree, so she used Tang She as a shield.

When Tang She first came to Tangren Games, he was genuinely pretending to be her boyfriend, and he rejected all the conditions proposed by his father.

Later, after making two games and losing a lot of money, Tang She finally accepted his father's conditions.

And he confessed at the time.

He told his father that he and his boyfriend were not a couple, and that his company would most likely go out of business.

He wasn't prepared to ask for payment at the time.

But his father always thought the other party had grand ambitions, so he forced him to accept certain conditions.

After getting to know each other better, the father thought he was quite good and actually included him in the shortlist of potential sons-in-law.

Now that I've talked it out with my father, everything makes sense. The two of them were just imagining things and scaring themselves.

Tang She's previous actions weren't exactly motivated by money, and as for what happened after he proactively suggested creating the Three Kingdoms Kill game...

I really can't see through it.

As for why Ren Wei came to the orphanage today...

They claimed they wanted to continue pretending to be a couple, but in reality, they wanted to get to know Tang She better.

"I trusted you so much, would you really betray me a second time?"

This is a lie.

But Tang She really couldn't understand what his senior was trying to do.

But it doesn't matter anyway, since he plans to resign after the New Year.

"Whatever you want."

After saying that, Tang She turned and left, preparing to return to the kitchen to continue his vegetable-chopping work.

At this moment, Ren Wei followed.

Aren't you even a little bit surprised?

"I wouldn't be surprised by anything you do."

After all, the way she exposed his identity by passing him a note at the annual meeting was already ruthless enough.

Tang She was depressed for a day and thought of more than a dozen ways to apologize.

In the end, I decided to apologize after receiving a reward, since a verbal apology would be too insincere.

The two of them walked into the kitchen. The headmistress and the aunt, who had been whispering to each other, immediately stopped talking when they saw them come in.

The dean then complained.

"Xiao Tang, why did you bring your girlfriend here? It's so messy. Take her to your room and sit for a while. We'll call you when we've finished cooking."

Tang She shook his head and walked back to the cutting board to continue his previous work.

"Is it appropriate for you two to be busy in the kitchen while I just watch the show during the Lunar New Year?"

Ren Wei, watching Tang She's skillful knife work, chimed in.

"Auntie, you don't need to be so polite. It's the same everywhere. Xiao Tang's home is my home. Besides, he said he's a very good cook and he wants to cook something for me to try himself."

The dean and the auntie smiled again.

Tang She, who was chopping vegetables, almost cut his own hand.

As expected of a senior student, her acting skills are top-notch; she can spout nonsense so easily.

Letting her stay here might just lead her to say something.

"Senior, you should go back and rest. There will be a lot of smoke from cooking later, don't let it bother you."
