After they enjoyed their lunch, Xia Meilin and Li Bingbing went shopping together just like how they usually do when they were in high school.
"Thanks for dropping me." Li Bingbing was standing in front of her apartment, carrying her shopping bags. "Next time, you better bring lil Cupcake with us, okay?"
Xia Meilin wasn"t sure if she should bring Little Melon, after all, Li Bingbing"s mouth can go out of control. "As long as you"ll behave, then I will."
She laughed lightly, "Don"t worry, I will behave. See ya later, Meimei."
"Mm, see you later."
Li Bingbing waved before she turned and went inside her apartment. She took the elevator and when she reached her floor, she walked towards her place.
When she entered her place, a s.e.xy and manly voice greeted her. "Welcome back, wifey. How was your day?"
"I had lots of fun. It"s been a long while since I went outside." Li Bingbing replied as she placed the bags down before she walked towards the kitchen.
There seemed to be no presence of another person inside her apartment and yet, the voice continued to appear out of nowhere. "I am glad you did. I"m happy to see you smile like that."
Li Bingbing took a gla.s.s and filled it with water before she finished it in one gulp. "Ahhh~ that"s so refres.h.i.+ng!"
She went to her room and took off her s.h.i.+rt.
"Sweetie, you shouldn"t take off your s.h.i.+rt in front of us. I don"t really mind, but I don"t want Sei scolding us out of nowhere." Another voice was heard, this time, it is a playful and mischievous one.
"Don"t stop her, I love the view." The voice that greeted Li Bingbing earlier was heard.
"She never listens... I"m out." Another one, a shy voice was heard.
On the three screens she has on her desk, there were the faces of 2D men on each screen.
The one who just left the screen has a small build and has an unsteady posture. He has many outstanding features, including his cat-like golden eyes and blond hair with black roots. His name was Kozu.
"There goes our shy baby." The man on the middle screen sighed. His features appear sly, with narrowed eyes and hazel colored cat-like pupils. His black hair is naturally messy like that due to his bedhead, he has fringe on his right side that partially covers his right eye. His name was Kuro.
The man who greeted her when she came in, ignored the two. He is a handsome adult with black hair, red eyes, and pale skin. His name was Sebby.
Li Bingbing walked and sat on the chair, facing the screens. "As much as I love you all as my husbands, please f**k off, I have a game to play."
"How many times do I have to tell you to watch your words, young lady?" Sebby scolded.
These three 2D men were actually Li Bingbing"s favorite anime characters. They were connected to all of her technologies inside her place, she connected them with the CCTV and the speakers she installed in her place.
Because of her love for them, Li Bingbing created a software for them. All their speeches and emotions were actually programmed by her.
They weren"t just there to please her eyes and fantasies, she actually programmed them to protect her files and her computer.
Kozu was programmed to control the CCTV and record videos anywhere in the house or from the surveillance cameras in the neighborhood. Although he was just there to notify her if someone was outside her place despite having the access to control the cameras around the neighborhood. Aside from that, he was programmed to be her opponent whenever she wanted to have a challenging game.
Meanwhile, Sebby was programmed to greet her, be her alarm clock, read her emails aloud and remind her of her schedules.
Whenever someone tries to hack her computer, her greatest defense and s.h.i.+eld was Kuro. He was programmed to protect her files and computer from other hackers.
The last but not the least is Sei who rarely appears on the screen. Whenever she takes a job to hack on other computers, her best weapon is Sei. He was programmed to gather information that her client wants at a fast speed. He will only be able to copy, delete and save files when Li Bingbing was able to hack inside her target"s computer and crack their pa.s.swords successfully.
This was a software she made and it actually took her four whole months to complete it.

When Xia Meilin arrived home, she saw Lu Yifeng and Lu Xian Yu sitting on the sofa.
They both turned their heads at her when she entered. Xia Meilin was able to tell them apart now because of Lu Xian Yu"s ash grey hair. Dying his hair in this color made him look more attractive and foxy. Even if he has the same face as Lu Yifeng, Xia Meilin can still tell them apart. Was it because of the playful glint in Lu Xian Yu"s eyes?
"Sister-in-law! Welcome home!" Lu Xian hurriedly went to her and gave her a hug.
"Xian Yu." The air in the room suddenly went colder.
Lu Xian Yu pouted as he pulled away from Xia Meilin. He turned to his brother with a scowl. "You don"t have to get so jealous just because I hugged her."
"Meilin, come." Lu Yifeng called while he continued glaring at his brother.
Lu Xian Yu can only raise his hand in surrender. "You"re no fun. We have always shared our things since we were you-"
"Now we don"t." Lu Yifeng cut in before he turned to Xia Meilin, as if waiting for her to walk towards him.
Xia Meilin can only sigh in defeat as she walked towards Lu Yifeng.
He looked at her and held her by her waist, pulling her against him. "Welcome home."
She felt her face warming up as her heart started racing. She placed her hands on his chest and lightly pushed him away. Although it didn"t do anything to him, Lu Yifeng pulled away.
"Oh! Look at the time. I have a date to attend. Tell mom that I"ll see her tomorrow!" He was about to go out of the house but he suddenly stopped by the door and turned to Xia Meilin with a grin. "What"s your friend"s name, sister?"
"..." She promised not to tell Lu Xian Yu her name... should she make something up?
"Sister?" Lu Xian Yu was staring at her for a while before he turned to Dong Hua, Xia Meilin"s personal guard who accompanied her earlier. "You went to accompany my sister, you must have seen and know her friend, right? Tell me."
Oh sh*t! Xia Meilin completely forgot about Dong Hua!
