26

Several months had passed as Aoi was busy with creating the virtual game. His time working, and hanging out with Bai was all he really had. With the medication from the doctor, the youth even managed to get some good sleep every now and then. However there were still a few nights when he just couldn't find the will to sleep. Despite that, his health had gotten much better then before. There was no longer any worry of his body finally shutting down on him due to lack of sleep. The feeling he had against sleep even improved as the nightmares seemed to fade away almost completely.

"That should be the last of the coding, is the character designs almost done?" he asked, his attention turning to the group of people sitting at a large table. The chairman of the company sitting at the head of the table, while flipping through some papers before him. The group continued to talk, stating all the issues or things that needed some more attention. With the meeting slowly coming to a close, Aoi let out a sigh as he began to pack up his paper work and laptop.

"Aoi, the prototype will be launched next week. We have already selected the group of testers for the project, however we'd still like your impute on the game play if you'd have time to participate in it." Shing Lei stated while still sitting in his spot. The rest of the group slowly left, not wanting to interrupt the conversation between the boss and project leader. Since Aoi's project had been accepted, he'd found that Shing Lei had been rather reasonable with creating the game. Not only had Aoi been assigned as the project leader, and lead coder. He also gave a good amount of money for the budget of the project. To be honest it was a bit confusing as to why.

"I don't mind. Is it possible my friend can also participate? He did help with a lot of the back work before we were able to get it licensed here." he asked. Since he'd been working on the game, the time spent with Bai was mostly just talking about work or getting some food. They didn't really have the time to play together anymore, besides the fact that the game they had played was currently still closed down. Shing nodded as he rubbed his thumb and forefinger together, his gaze pointed at the table. "That's fine. I don't mind. Just make sure that there isn't any leaks. Everyone else involved had to sign an agreement before hand." he stated.

Aoi nodded in understand as he smiled, waving to the older male before heading out. After he left, the secretary made his way back in, glancing at Aoi's back before shaking his head. "Sir, I don't see why you don't just tell him already. It's not like people haven't noticed your attitude with him. No one else allows someone new to the company to work as the leading programmer and leader of the project. You yourself had always apposed to doing things that way before." he stated some what frustrated. It was clear that Shing was struggling with the secret, yet not willing to share it.

"Let them talk. I need more time. He's such a good boy. Hard working, and doesn't complain regardless of how many times an issue has arises. Even if I didn't have my own person reasons for it, he'd more then likely end up as a project leader and lead programmer within the near future." the older male stated while finally standing up. "Lets get back to work." he then said, heading back to his office.

When Aoi returned home, he spent some time cleaning up his home some, before heading over to Bai's house, knocking on the door. After a while he frowned, glancing at the time before leaving a note at the door, heading back home. After a shower and some dinner, Aoi headed to his computer and began to work on the coding he was able to bring home. Finishing up what little issues that had been brought up during the meeting.
