Chapter 12: should the CG be unlocked?

“Whose kid is this?”

The employee waiting with her head lowered muttered inwardly.

Su An wasn’t short.

She had a perfectly normal teenage girl’s figure.

But that pure, almost childish aura about her made it impossible to estimate her age properly.

Perhaps Su An was blocking Gu Yu’s view.

Gu Yu pressed her back into her arms with one hand.

The little cutie froze for a moment, instinctively struggling, her expression clearly about to huff in protest.

But then she seemed to realize this was her Master.

She puffed her cheeks, a little unconvinced, yet her body honestly relaxed.

“This is way too cute!”

The employee watching from the corner of her eye screamed internally.

“Is she an android?”

the employee wondered.

Because she didn’t think humans could look that good — the delicate skin, the gradient blue eyes, that inhumanly slim waist.

Visually, she was undeniably slender and full of curves.

But biologically speaking, unless someone shattered a few ribs, a human waist couldn’t possibly be that thin.

In principle, all androids were required to wear the identity LED blue ring.

But as everyone knew, “in principle” often meant “exceptions exist.”

With proper approval, certain high-tier androids didn’t need to load the blue ring.

At her level, she had access to that kind of information.

“Or maybe she’s a perfect product of genetic engineering?”

the employee guessed, then shook her head.

“No. If genetic engineering had really produced a flawless human like this, the world would already be celebrating it.”

“So she can only be an android.”

Naturally, in front of her superior, the employee didn’t dare directly connect to the net through her light-brain to check.

“I want one.”

“Please don’t be too expensive,”

she prayed

Before leaving, the discussion between the two had been about how GLG Club had purchased the permanent Eastern Division seat of Xia Ke Xing, entered the scene with massive capital, and swept up all the star players on the market to assemble a “galactic battleship.”

Su An nodded thoughtfully.

GLG Club was one of Gu Yu’s industries.

“GLG… it looks familiar. Let me search.”

Thinking this, Su An curled up in Gu Yu’s arms and opened her smart wrist device.

Storyline growth feed:

“Dark horse GLG! Su Ruxue and her teammates slaughtered their way through the global finals of Flyshuttle! They won the Eastern Division its first championship! A historic breakthrough! GLG is awesome!”

“King-level GLG is now on the verge of collapse. They’ve exposed their weaknesses. Only Su Ruxue carried the whole team into the global finals, and they could fall in the round of sixteen at any time.”

“Oh my god, GLG wins again! Acceptance speech released! The Queen of Flyshuttle reigns over her loyal territory!”

“Ruxue involved in a public scandal, suspected romance? Although GLG barely crawled into the global finals again, no one has faith in them.”

“Three consecutive championships surpassing legend! The great Queen Ruxue stands atop the mountain; all can only look up at her radiance!”

Su An blinked.

So amazing.

The script felt oddly familiar though…

“Xiao Xue belongs to GLG… GLG belongs to Gu Yu…”

“So that means…”

“I have a way to contact Xiao Xue!”

Su An was overjoyed and looked up.

“Hm?”

Gu Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, curious what An An wanted to say.

“Um, Gu Yu-jie, if there’s a chance, can we go see Xiao Xue?”

Su An asked sincerely.

“I mean Su Ruxue.”

Gu Yu frowned.

A bad feeling rose in Su An’s heart.

Right — yesterday Gu Yu had been belittling her daughter and acting like a hater.

Oh no.

Wait…

Su Ruxue’s boss is her anti-fan?

That’s kind of weird.

Gu Yu took Su An’s wrist device and glanced at it.

Her brows relaxed.

“Her character is problematic. Don’t believe it? Keep scrolling.”

“Huh?”

Half-believing, Su An continued scrolling.

“Shock! Su Ruxue suspected of acting arrogant, demanding sky-high renewal fees. Negotiations failed; she leaves GLG!”

“Boomerang effect! The Queen of Flyshuttle takes revenge on her old club, wins the Spring Championship. GLG’s boss must regret it deeply.”

“Ultimate boomerang! Su Ruxue suffers a crushing defeat, eliminated in the first round of the global finals! Will she miss the days when she was invincible at GLG?”

Su An’s mouth parted slightly.

She glanced at the comments.

First thought: My daughter has so many haters.

Second thought: Oh no, her relationship with her boss really does seem… complicated.

And then—

Su An secretly glanced at Gu Yu.

Could it be… this person tried to take advantage of Xiao Xue, failed, and got angry out of embarrassment?

Gu Yu narrowed her eyes.

“I have a feeling you’re thinking something bad.”

“N-no, nothing!”

Su An hid her hands behind her back, eyes darting away.

Whether it was programming or just her nature, she was far too easy to read.

Gu Yu checked the control panel.

She didn’t see any idol-chasing traits unlocked.

Strange.

Then why did this little one care so much about Su Ruxue?

“Want to see her?”

Gu Yu asked.

Su An quickly shook her head.

Then, seeing Gu Yu wasn’t upset and was instead smiling lightly, she hesitated and cautiously nodded.

If Gu Yu showed even the slightest displeasure, she’d immediately switch back to shaking her head.

“Good. This Friday she has a regular season match. I’ll take you.”

Gu Yu narrowed her eyes, thinking about something.

Su An beamed.

“Thank you, Gu Yu-jie!”

“Don’t thank me so soon.

Your Su Ruxue might not welcome you,”

Gu Yu said with a smile.

Su An shook her head slightly.

Su Ruxue and Gu Yu didn’t get along — clearly rivals.

It was normal if Su Ruxue didn’t like her.

If anything, the fact that Gu Yu would set aside awkwardness and take her to meet someone she had bad blood with — she was really kind.

“Xiao Xue, Xiao Xue, my grown-up Xiao Xue! My good daughter.”

Su An was filled with anticipation and joy.

She glanced at the time.

Today was Monday.

Four more days.

So long.

Gu Yu looked somewhat helplessly at An An squirming in her arms like a groundhog.

Was she really that excited?

It was making her itchy.

So she simply lifted her up.

“Eh?”

Su An blinked her innocent big eyes as her bottom landed on the cool office desk.

Although her little black leather shoes had barely touched the ground, Gu Yu, slightly fastidious, worried about dirtying her clothes and casually slipped them off, revealing her spotless, pale “ice-cream-like” legs.

Su An sat upright, stopping herself from instinctively kicking her feet.

Perhaps because of the “Sunshine” trait, she was always inexplicably fidgety.

But since she was facing Gu Yu now, if she didn’t control her little legs, she might accidentally kick her.

Good children don’t kick people.

Cute things always soothed the heart.

Gu Yu’s gaze roamed without restraint.

From the flawless face, gradient blue eyes, waist-length straight black hair, downward — even the white dress couldn’t conceal the full, rounded curves.

The dress outlined her slender waist perfectly.

Her small hands, unsure where to rest, folded over her abdomen.

Her legs pressed lightly together, obedient and well-behaved.

“Special CG available to unlock. Unlock?”

“Enable game mode?”

Gu Yu looked at the prompt on the control panel and slightly raised an eyebrow.
