Bob: Sleepyhead! Wake up...
(Message delivered at 5.15)
Sean: Don't even think I would get up before 7.30.
(Message sent at 7. 35)
Bob: hahaha cool.
Sean: Got ready?
Bob: Nope, still have time. You up?
Sean: Nope, still have time.😋
Bob: Get up. I will be leaving early...
Sean: why?
Bob: I have to meet someone.
Sean: Who?
Bob: you are questioning me like my wife...
Sean: Bo sweetheart, who are you meeting?
Bob: Someone from another department.
Sean: Date?
Bob: Maybe.
Sean: Oh.
Zhan was disheartened. He didn't know why? He felt that if the other person got committed this person would distance himself from him, that's the least he wanted. Therefore, after sending the last message he didn't check his phone. He got ready and left for the office.
He reached the office by 9.00. He went to his cabin and Yibo was waiting for him there. They had a meeting with the Boss, main heads of other depts. and team leads at 9.30 am. Zhan and Yibo had to make a presentation on the report together. But, Zhan was sad because of what Bob said and Yibo was frustrated because Sean didn't give a reply.
Yibo asked, "cant you reach at least 5min early". Zhan in a serious tone, "Nope". Both of them weren't in a great mood they knew that. So, Yibo just passed on a USB, informed him about the part he would be referring then left the cabin.
After meeting Zhan, Yibo went to the conference room. He stood outside leaning against the wall, he was grumpy for a reason but he didn't know why Zhan was being grumpy and he didn't know, why the Sean was behaving like this and left the chat like that, just then he heard a buzz he checked his phone and he got his smile back on his face.
After Yibo left, Zhan checked his phone. There were 4 to 5 messages from Bo.
Bob: what's with that Oh?
Bob: Sean, You there?
Bob: Hey, what's wrong?
Bob: Sean, I was going to meet our HR manager. Seriously, I am not cheating on you.
Bob: Goddamit give me a reply!
Sean: You sure, you are not cheating on me. 😜
Bob: Seriously, was that funny?
Sean: Why were you worried?
Bob: pfft. Were you jealous?
Sean: Shut up, I am going...
Bob: Seaaaaaaaan
Sean: Go and do your job. I will text you later.
Luo Yunxi, saw Zhan coming to the office he felt that Zhan wasn't in a great mood. He was intending to let him know that Yibo was waiting for him but before that Zhan got inside his cabin, Yibo and Zhan had some serious talk then Yibo left. They both had a poker face. But just as Yibo left and Zhan glanced at his phone, his mood was back to normal not just normal he was giggling.
Luo Yunxi entered Zhan's cabin and asked him, "Why do you hate Yibo this much?" "I don't, I just adore him. If you are worried about the presentation, don't worry I won't mess up". Zhan stood up smiled, took the USB, and left the cabin.
Luo Yunxi knew Zhan from the day he joined here but he still couldn't make out, what this guy was thinking?
When Zhan reached the conference room, he saw Yibo leaning against the wall and smiling. He thought this so-called cold face had a sweet smile. Just then Yibo looked up and met his eye.
"Did your girlfriend text you?" Zhan asked.
"Why you jealous?" Yibo retorted.

It's the second time, someone was asking the same question on the same day. Zhan gave Yibo a poker face and both entered the conference room.
The meeting started at 10 am. As both teams prepared the presentation concurrently, there wasn't much of a conflict between Zhan and Yibo, the presentation went smoothly and Boss approved and appreciated the same.
The meeting lasted for 2 hours, which made both exhausted and there was 1 hour left for lunch. So, both went to the cafe to grab something to drink.
They order their caffeine but then they remembered they were alone they don't have their teammates to tag along. This created an awkward situation. They both didn't know what to do? At last, they sat near the window. There was an uneasy silence between the two.
Zhan who felt too much uneasy asked, "Why do you hate me so much?".
Yibo who was completely in a trance, hearing this he looked at Zhan questioningly, "I can ask you the same?"
Zhan gave him an "oh". Then again, the silence went on, as the meeting just ended, they didn't have the energy to fight.
After a while, Zhan's team Luo Yunxi, Wang Haoxuan, and Zhuo Cheng came to the cafeteria, to have their lunch. They saw Zhan and Yibo who were not giving any damn about each other sharing a table staring out of the window. They ordered their food, went to the same table, and joined them.
"How was the presentation?" Zhuocheng asked which bought Yibo and Zhan out of the daze.
"It was good, boss approved the plan and said starting from now we have to work together and gave a 30 min lecture on that". Zhan retorted.
Wang Haoxuan laughed and said, "Boss asked you both, to work together".
Zhuocheng giving a chuckle, " if it wasn't for Luo Yunxi and Liu Haikuan the business plan would still have been dead-end".
Just then Yibo's whole team joined in.
Liu Haikuan asked, "How was the presentation?"
Zhuocheng retorted, "I think it went great. Boss even asked them to work together".
"Stop taunting. He asked the whole team to work together. So the good news is we would be having fieldwork from next week". Yibo retorted with a serious face.
"Nope. That's not fair". Ji li started to whine.
Luo Yunxi asked, "are you guys serious about, we having field duty?".
"Yeah, for sales and demand survey, a couple of us have to be on the field for a while" Zhan replied.
"We can take turns. Anyway, there are 2 teams so 12 people, two people each day" Song Jiang said.
Yibo replied with a "hmmm".
Liu Haikuan gave Yibo a pat on the shoulder and said, "It's ok, tomorrow it's Sunday anyways, we can rest for the whole day, then get back to work".
Fieldwork was a tiring job, and the office work leads to total fatigue. They knew that the following days gonna be hectic. This made them grey.
After lunch, everyone left for his or her own cabin and cubicle. Zhan was done for the day, he didn't have anything else to do. So, he fished out his phone and texted Bob.
Sean: you there?
( after like 2 min)
Bob: Yup. Are you done for today?
Zhan looked around to see if someone from his team is texting or not. But he couldn't find anyone, then gave a reply.
Sean: Yeah. What about you?
Bob: Yeah! I just had a couple of emails to send. That's it.
Sean: How, did your meeting with HR go?

Bob: Good, Casual talk. I still don't know why she asked me to meet me in a cafe.
Sean: Idiot, why would a girl ask you to out? Isn't that obvious.
Bob: Naah, I am not interested.
Sean: oh, what type are you interested in?
Bob: I don't know. Maybe someone who understands me. Who won't be judgemental?
Sean: how would you know that if you won't give them a chance?
Bob: You want me to give her a chance.
Sean: If you want to.
Bob: Naah, not her. What about you? Why don't you give someone a chance?
Sean: aah! It's not like someone proposed to me.
Bob: Oh!!!
Sean: what's with that Oh?
Bob: Then I should be the first one asking.
Sean: what?
Bob: This morning, what was wrong with you?
Sean: aah!! I don't know. I just got mad...
Bob: Really, You really thought I would cheat on you.
Sean: Shut up. I just thought if you get committed now, you would distance yourself.
Bob: From who?
Sean: Me.
Bob: Hahaaa... Don't worry I won't.
Sean: what makes you think that?
Bob: weren't you the one who said, "this would go long way". "I believe you".
Sean: Oh really....... Sweetheart, what if you believed the wrong person?
Bob: How wrong can you be?
Sean: Maybe a couple of betrayal, theft, or something like that.
Bob: Till you come back here and message me, I am fine...
Sean: Aaahhaa!! Cliche!!!!
Bob: 🤪🤪🤪
Sean: Hey, we literally don't know each at all. Still, currently, the only person I chat with is you. Seriously, why do we prefer stranger over friends?
Bob: we don't! It's just we chat with a stranger thinking it would be fun or leisure. It's always a short time to think. When we have this realization we will return to our comfort zone.
Sean: Do you think we will return to our comfort zone as well?
Bob: Won't we?
Sean: I don't know... Let's see where it takes off.
Bob: You know, your way of chatting, it kind of gives me a familiar feel just I can't point it out.
Sean: You have a lot of time to point it out 🤪🤪🤪.
Bob: If you wanna actually know something about me, you can just ask me...
Sean: Okay. Tell me something about your family or native, anything.
Bob: why you gonna ask around? 😉
Sean: say!
Bob: Fine, Iam from Zhongyuan. I am a single child. My parents both are working Dad is a government employee and Mom is a private employee.
And if you compare me with this chat you may not be able to find me.
Sean: Woah! What do you mean by, the last sentence?
Bo: Just I may differ from your imagination.
Sean: Oh seriously!
Bo: yeah! What about you?
Just then, Jessi came over to Zhan's cabin asking him to join for an evening snack. He kept his phone back in his pocket and left the cabin.
Yibo waited for his reply for 5 min, then Bowen came into his cabin and asked, "Hey boss, Jessi messaged me, they are going to the cafeteria. So we are joining them. You coming?"
Yibo nodded placed his phone back in his pocket and left the cabin.
Zhan and his squad went to the cafeteria first after that Yibo, the squad entered, and Ji li walked over to the table.
"Hey, Jessi you have everyone's number, How come you just messaged Li Bowen?". Ji li walked over teasing her.
"Nope, I messaged Song Jiang too. Why you jealous?". Jessi said.
"Jessi sorry I didn't see it. By the way, what do you guys want? I will go and grab that from the counter" Song Jiang said. "I will come with you," Jessi said.
Everyone told them what they want. Jessi and Song Jiang left.
"When did these two become close?" Zhuocheng asked.
Zoey looked at them, at said, "Jessi knew Song Jiang from start, they are like entry mates."
After five to ten min Jessi and Jiang returned with their caffeine.
"Jiang, we didn't you and Jessi were entry mates" Ji li started to tease again.
"Ji li it's not just me and Song Jiang. Me, him, Zoey, Libowen, and Yang we all are entry mates." Jessi retorted.
Ji li gave Zoey a grumpy look and said, "why did you skip that part?".
Zoey giving him a wink, "for fun".
Yibo said, "so most of you guys knew each other from start."
Yang replied, "not exactly, we know each other like in the sense we had an interview on the same day and got selected on the same day as well. That's it. Then there wasn't much of contact".
"Except for me and Zoey who ended up in the same training session and department" Jessi continued.
After a while, Luo Yunxi asked pointing at Zhan, " you and Yibo aren't you guys, entry mates?
Zhan choked on his drink, "How did you know that?"
"Just a guess. So, guys are entry mates." Yunxi retorted.
"Yeah, that kind of happened," Yibo replied.
Li Bowen asked, "so, when did you guys exactly started to fight?"
Zhan gave a cranky look to libowen, "I don't remember. I don't think we ever had a decent talk without a fight".
Liu Haikuan asked, "Then why don't you guys give it a try?"
Yibo and Zhan together, "Not happening."
Zoey who was scanning through her phone abruptly cried out, "Shit, when did these two get committed."
Everyone gave Zoey a questioning look. Jessi asked, "Who?"
"These two". Zoey said shoving her phone into Jessi's face. Jessi saw this and asked, "Gao Hanyu and Ji Xiaobing aren't they from the production department. So what? Why are you so stunned?"
Zoey started to whine, "Why is it Xiabing? Why? Why?"
Wang Haoxuan found something more interesting said, "didn't they used to fight a lot."
Everyone looked at Yibo and Zhan started to laugh.
Zhan and Yibo became all red they both got up together and were about to leave.
"Hey, were you guys going. Sorry, we won't tease you. I heard we are having field duty from Monday. What's the plan?" Zoey inquired.
Zhan and Yibo sat down they looked at each other and Zhan said, "as Song Jiang suggested there are 12 people, 2 people each day can do field duty and transmit the details to other and ones who are in office can do the office and paperwork."
"On Monday, who would be going on field duty" Ji li asked.
"Me and Zhan, we have to meet three clients on that day. So we will do the fieldwork for that day." Yibo said.
"Are you sure? Would you be fine together?" Others asked.
"I don't know, that's what our boss wants." Zhan retorted.
They left the cafeteria after that. It was nearly 6.00 so Zhan left the office reached home by 6.30. He freshened up, took his phone, and saw the last message From Yibo.
Sean: Sorry, My friends came over. And about me well I have a sister. I am from Chongqing. And my parents are private employees.
(After 20 min he got a reply)
Bob: I thought you ditched me again.
Sean: Nope. Not so soon.
Bob: what's the plan for tomorrow?
Sean: Sleep, sleep, and sleep. What about you?
Bob: I don't know.
Sean: Bo, Are we ever gonna meet?
Bob: Hmmmmm, if we ever guess each other name correctly. Then let's meet.
Sean: Heheee. What if I am the person you hate the most?
Bo: I don't hate anyone. We can only hate that person who we loved once. And I don't remember being in love.
Sean: Really?
Bo: I actually never thought about it.
Sean: Any crush?
Bo: Nope, I just admire their beauty and leave them.😜 what about you?
Sean: I don't know about love. But yeah I was kind of committed for 2 years and broke up.
Bo: Why?
Sean: she was kind of over possessive.
Bo: Isn't that good. She is possessive because she cares for you. Right.
Sean: Yeah, possessiveness to a limit is fine but when that goes overboard there would be a lot of trust issues.
Bo: Oh! But can't you guys talk it out?
Sean: It's already been 3 years. I am already done with that relationship.
Bo: Oh! I have a shot🤪.
Sean: Do you really wanna try?
Bo: Shameless!
Sean: You started it.
(As they were chatting both fell asleep).

Rebirth of the Thief Who Roamed The World
The world’s largest VRMMO, Conviction, was almost like a second world for humanity. It had integrated itself into the real world’s economy, with both corporations and individuals seeking their fortunes through the game. In this game, Nie Yan prided himself in his Level 180 Thief. He could barely be considered among the top experts in the game. Though, that was the only thing he could take pride in. He was penniless and unable to advance in life; a situation he was forced into by the enemy of his father. If it weren’t for the little money he made by selling off items in Conviction, he would’ve barely been able to eat. In the end, he chose to settle his matters once and for all. He assassinated his father’s enemy. He lay dying shortly after being shot in the pursuit. However, that wasn’t the end of his story. Instead, he awoke moments later to find that he had reincarnated into his past self. Armed with his experience and knowledge of future events, he sets out to live his life anew.

8 123The overgrown mansion
The main character returns to her deceased recluse uncle's home to get his effects in order. This is the beginning of a lovecraftian story inspired by somebody telling me about the Brombeermonster, a particulary nasty blackberry shrub overtaking her family's abandonned home. A backdrop for a story about eery and unexplained things if I ever heard about one. I will post the two parts I already posted on reddit; more maybe if there is interest from the community.
8 96Hero
Kuren is just your average boy. He's just been asleep for one thousand years. Heroes and grand epics. Kuren doesn't have the time to think about things like that, nor does he really care. Join Kuren as he wanders the fantasy land of Alurca in search of his lost memories and the reasons behind his lengthy slumber. This is sort of a reboot of Anomaly, the first novel I tried to write. I gave up Anomaly after going to college. I thought about going back to it, but... when I look at it now, it's not very good. It was very edgy and not much substance behind that edge. The story wasn't quite going anywhere since I hadn't given the main character a goal. I had planned out a story, but I forgot to to plan out the details between the beginning and end. So this one's for real. Hopefully you won't be disappointed.
