Jing Wen Xun jolted awake instantly. Realizing the situation he was currently in, he quickly removed himself from Xie Xi Qi's body. Xie Xi Qi pulled the blanket aside and stood up. He grimaced from the uncomfortable and pain as he walked towards the bathroom with certain difficulties. Xie Xi Qi squatted down in the bathtub. He turned on the shower and slowly washed out the blood and semen residue left inside him. He felt it stings, knowing that it must have ripped open during the drunk sex they had yesterday. 


"This is really embarrassing, how am I supposed to go to work like this? Wait..... Why am I even here in the first place? Wasn't I drinking with them yesterday? What about Mi Zhou?"


Jing Wen Xun who had awakened, was now staring blankly at the blood stains on his bed. He knew it was his works and thus he felt embarrassed and sorry to the man he did. He stood up and started to pick up all the clothes on the floor as well as wearing his clothes. He heard his phone ringing at the entrance. He picked it up and answered after he saw it was his friend, Mo Ding Ling.


"Hello, Ding Ling."


"You finally pick up the phone ah? Do you know how many phonecalls I've made in the past few hours?! 35 ah!"


"Sorry..... I just woke up. And there's a man beside me when I woke up. Do you know what happened yesterday?"


"Did he hit you?"


"What? Huh? Um, he slapped me earlier. What's wrong?"


"Only a slap? Okay, whew.... You know what, we were looking for you when we stumbled on that man's friends in the restroom. They were looking for him too. They said he played boxing before so we panicked. We thought he might beat you up. But seems like you're okay.... Anyway, there's this woman called Mi Li Zhou wanted you to pass a message to that man, saying to call her later. And don't you forget, today's your first day at work. Don't be late!"


"Okay.. I got it... He's coming out. I need to go now. I'll see you two later."


Jing Wen Xun heard the shower went off and the man walked out with a towel covering his lower region. His wavy hair was wet but not dripping. His naked upper body was like the figure of a perfect mannequin. Jing Wen Xun dazed upon seeing Xie Xi Qi. Ah, he do look kind of like that person but his wasn't this beautiful or darker, he thought. (he means the mole thing)


"Where's my clothes?"


Jing Wen Xun broke from his daze and passed it to him. Xie Xi Qi turned back to the bathroom and changed into his clothes. When he came out, Jing Wen Xun said, "That, um... Your friend, a lady called Mi Zhou wants me to pass you a message, she said to call her back when you're awake."


"Mi Zhou? She said that? Okay. Thanks for the message."


Xie Xi Qi turned to the entrance to wear his sneakers. He did not want to look at Jing Wen Xun who looked like he had thousand of words to say but hesitated to speak out. So Xie Xi Qi thought it would be better to keep silent about it. 


"That, I, about yesterday, I'll take the responsibility-"


"Stop! Let's just forget about yesterday. I don't need anything from you. And you don't know me, neither do I know you. If you think you owed me....um, come here a moment..."


Jing Wen Xun walked to his front only to receive a punch in his face. He staggered, and turned to look at Xie Xi Qi in confusion.


"There. You no longer owe me anything."


Xie Xi Qi heaved a sigh, and left the man, Jing Wen Xun dumbfounded by himself.

Mi Zhou walked over to Creative Department when she received Xie Xi Qi's call. She saw Xie Xi Qi was sitting on three layers of cushions. The checkered blanket on his lap had it covered, so it wasn't that noticeable. Xie Xi Qi noticed Mi Zhou coming over in her lab coat. 


"Senior Xi Qi, you're alright?"


"Ah. Don't mention it anymore. I don't even want to think about it."


Mi Zhou nodded, after all these years of knowing him, she knew it best not to provoke Xie Xi Qi. She doesn't want to be ignored for one whole month once again.


"Okay, Senior."


"Did you finished your report yet? I've heard there would be a new replacement for the team leader of the development team. You better be careful, or he'll kick you off the main team."


"I got it, then, I'm going back to work."


"En. Hurry up."

..................................................................................................................................................

"Good day, everyone. I'm Jing Wen Xun, 26 years, a Master Degree graduate from O University in A Country. I'll be leading the main development team from today onwards. If anyone here are playing TMO, do add me, my username is KingAce. Let's get along well, everyone."


The handsome man had a slightly bruised cheek. But he smiled at the other 10 staffs in the office.


"And I'm Jin Shui, a Master Degree graduate too. My TMO username is H2O. All single ladies are welcome!"


Mi Zhou dropped her ball pen. Her thoughts were all a mess. Only two words were set in her current mind.


'Oh Shit!'


She was trying to send a message to Xie Xi Qi, but she seemed to have been caught by Jin Shui. He was following her wherever she goes, even to her testing lab (of course, except the ladies' restroom). 


"Say, Wen Xun, would you believe me if I were to tell you that according to my sixth sense, the man you slept with yesterday is working in this M&J company."


Jing Wen Xun stopped typing on his computer, and looked at Jin Shui in disbelief. He chuckled.
"What made you said that? And since when do you have a sixth sense?"


Jin Shui pointed at the direction of the testing lab. "That lady in lab coat earlier, is the 'Mi Zhou' lady from yesterday's pub."


"Hmmn. Have you searched what I've asked you to?"


"Ah, you mean the NPC, Falma?"

Finally managed to get rid of the annoying Jin Shui, Mi Zhou urgently sent a message to Xie Xi Qi.
"Senior Xi Qi, don't come to my lab these few days. That guy's friend from yesterday's pub is a new colleague in the development team and guess what, he's H2O, and KingAce is our new team leader! And I kind of suspected whether the one you slept with is KingAce, but I weren't that sure, so...just avoid the lab for now!"


The phone buzzed from within the coat, hanged on Xie Xi Qi's chair. But Xie Xi Qi was currently not in his seat.

.....................................................................................................................................................


Jing Wen Xun and Jin Shui walked to the Creative Department, and knocked at the door.

"Who are you looking for?"


"Is Xie Xi Qi around?"
