CHAPTER 201 - I JUST WANT TO SEE YOU

A few words that Xiaoning inadvertently said left me completely unable to answer.

Of course, he was just casually talking about this topic. He definitely didn't have any intentions of ridiculing Ye Zichen.

But the more it is like this, the more I can't think of an answer.

After hesitating for a long time, he was unable to give a rough idea.

Fortunately, probably because he wasn't familiar with it, he didn't have the intention of forcing me to answer his question.

After handing in the last bit of information to the personnel, he took me back to the Finance Department floor.

Passing through the busy rows of cubicles, he pointed to an empty table in the bathroom at the end of the corridor.

Sit here first. There aren't any empty spots in our team right now, and if we're too far away, it's not convenient for us to work normally.

I didn't mind at all as I smiled and thanked him, Alright, I'll be troubling you.

You're too polite.

He looked back at the row behind the empty table, two places away from me.

I'm sitting there. If you need anything, just call me.

Alright.

I'm going to take care of this. He left with a smile, leaving space for me.

I pulled out a chair and sat down, put my bag on the table, and bent down to rub my aching calves.

He used to wear shoes with heels at night. He walked back and forth all night and never felt as heavy as he did today, his legs as heavy as lead.

I think it was because I was in a completely unfamiliar environment and my nerves were tense.

When the pain in my leg had subsided, I began to gather up the items on the table.

Although there was no one sitting at the empty table and no dust had accumulated on it, it was obvious that there were still people cleaning the place.

Since there was nothing special to pack, I laid out my things and soon got bored.

I looked around, trying to get used to the environment as quickly as possible.

This position was near the corner, with only a nearby station to the right.

There was no one at the workstation now, but the table was full and there were several cute pink dolls around the computer.

It seemed that the colleague sitting next to me was a girl.

Looking further ahead, the entire office was filled with heads. Most of the people sitting in their workstations were working diligently in front of their computers. There were only a few people left, they grouped together in groups of two or three and discussed the information in their hands.

For fear of disturbing others, all the discussions had deliberately lowered their voices, and the office was enveloped by the sounds of tapping the keyboard one after another.

I thought for a moment and turned on my computer.

To my surprise, the computer needs to be logged in.

I tried it myself, but neither the name nor the number on the tag I'd just been given.

Helpless, she could only turn her head to look in Xiaoning's direction, hoping to seek some help from him.

From my point of view, all I could see was the back of his head. He tapped away at the computer for a while, then looked down at the documents on the table.

I stared at his busy back for a long time, but I couldn't find the right moment to call him to turn around.

Fortunately, he was already late in the morning, so he waited at the front desk for another hour. After completing the complicated job registration procedures, he didn't have much time left in the morning.

I waited for less than half an hour in boredom, and gradually everyone in the office left.

Xiaoning finally put down the work in his hands and stood up from the chair.

Apparently he remembered that there was a new arrival to be taken care of, and he turned to me as soon as he stood up.

It happened to meet my eager gaze.

He paused for a second, then smiled and came over.

It's already time for lunch break. Come, I'll take you to the cafeteria for lunch."

Alright.

I was going to ask him about the computer, but then I realized that it wouldn't matter if I went to lunch first, so I nodded and stood with him.

At this time, it seemed as if the whole building was rushing towards the cafeteria. The elevator was filled with people.

I was squeezed into a corner, with Xiaoning standing in the front like a gentleman, helping me to block out most of the crowd.

When I finally got to the restaurant, the moment I got off the elevator, I found that it was ten times more crowded than the elevator.

Xiaoning is considered to be one of the higher ranked males. He looked around, and then turned around to speak to me.

There are too many people. Go and find a place first, I'll go and buy some.

Ah? Wouldn't that be too much trouble for you … "

It's no trouble, I have to squeeze through it myself! You go and find a place first, I'll come and find you later. "

More people pushed past us as we talked.

Seeing this, I did not refuse anymore. Alright, then I'll see you later.

Wait, I still don't know what you like to eat!

He took my arm and stopped me from turning around.

Actually, I didn't know what to eat either, so I casually said the names of the two dishes.

He nodded and walked in the direction of the crowd.

There were many people buying food, and there were also quite a few eating.

I was afraid that he wouldn't be able to find me in such a remote place. It took me a full circle before I found two seats that weren't too far away.

The two girls sitting across from me looked up at me and then lowered their heads without interest, eating from their bowls.

I had meant to be friendly, but the corners of my mouth were half raised, and now I had to freeze on my face and fade.

He took out his cell phone from his pocket and tried to kill the time he had spent waiting alone.

There were a few missed calls and a text message.

I opened the text message first. The sender was Xu Che.

Where are you?

I flipped to the missed line and saw that it was indeed him.

The first was right after we got into the elevator.

It was probably because the elevator signal wasn't good, and I didn't hear the phone at all when I entered the cafeteria and kept making noise.

The two girls on the opposite side of the hall were still eating slowly, their ears filled with the hubbub of people.

I thought about it and just replied with a text message.

Let's have a meal here in the cafeteria. We'll have a chat later.

A few seconds after he clicked send, the phone screen lit up.

It was very obvious that Xu Che didn't even have the time to wait and chat.

Just as I was about to stand up and find a quiet corner to answer the phone, I glanced around and saw a bunch of people looking for seats with plates.

He immediately put his butt back down.

The phone was still vibrating in his hand. He had no intention of stopping.

I had no choice but to sit down and pick up the phone.

Hello?

Hearing my voice, the two girls opposite me looked up and gave me an expressionless look.

I forced myself to pretend I didn't see it.

Xu Che's usual cold voice sounded from the phone.

Where are you? I'll go look for you.

There are a lot of people here, I declined tactfully. Is there anything you need to say now?

He paused, his voice tinged with grievance. I just want to see you.

CHAPTER 202 - DON'T YELL

Xu Che said in a voice that sounded wronged, it made people's heart soften.

I hesitated. How about we meet again after we finish our meal?

He was silent for a second, as if thinking.

Then he agreed. Okay.

He didn't insist on coming over, which made me heave a sigh of relief. Have you eaten?

Not yet.

Why aren't you eating?

It occurred to me that he never came home at noon, and where he usually settled his lunch.

He looked around and even though the dining hall was spacious enough, due to the large number of customers, it was still a very crowded company canteen.

It couldn't be here, right?

It was really hard to imagine Xu Che, who was wearing an expensive handmade suit and had a cold expression, squeezing through the crowd.

I was going to ask you to come and eat with me.

He spoke in a slightly aggrieved tone, Who would have thought that you would go to the cafeteria with someone without even asking.

I'm sorry. I hastily apologized.

But even so, I still retained my final bit of rationality. But there are really too many people here.

I didn't tell him everything, but he must have understood.

When you're done eating, I'll go find you.

Xiaoning carried the dining plate, and looked around not far from the place where we had just parted at.

I stood up and tried to wave.

Alright! In a hurry to hang up, I agreed without thinking.

We'll see you later. I'll be eating first.

Xiaomo...

I heard him still calling my name, but he hung up anyway.

Because Xiaoning had finally found me and was walking towards me with large strides.

You've been waiting for too long, right?

he asked me with a smile as he set the tray on the table.

I shook my head. Not for long. You're pretty fast.

Then you have to be fast. If you slow down, there won't be anything good to eat.

He was a gentleman, so he handed me the cutlery and two plates of delicious dishes.

Try this. It's very delicious.

Alright, thank you!

I picked up my chopsticks and was about to place them on the dish he was talking about when I felt two pairs of eyes staring at me from across the table.

He raised his head and caught sight of the girl sitting opposite him.

Unknowingly, she had already finished the porridge in front of her and was curiously staring at Xiaoning and me.

The pair of me, she immediately looked away.

He turned around and said to his companion, Are you done eating? Let's go.

The other girl's bowl was also almost empty. Hearing that, she nodded, Then let's go.

The two of them picked up their things and left the table.

In less than two seconds, two new faces sat down across from him.

I couldn't help but ask Xiaoning in a low voice, Has the canteen always been so many people?

No. He also looked around.

It's probably because they just took the leave today. A lot of people from other branches also came for the meeting, and a lot of people from our department also came this morning.

Once again, I lamented the bad days I had chosen.

He chose the busiest time in the company to report in.

We couldn't wait to get out of that crowded place after the meal.

Do you want to go downstairs? You've just arrived today, so you're probably not familiar with the area, right?

He looked at the watch on his wrist and suddenly suggested.

On one side of the corridor was a large window, from which I looked out.

Then she turned around and smiled at him. Not now.

When I was a child, my mother would sometimes bring me to my father and we would have lunch together in a nearby restaurant.

I was much more familiar with the situation nearby than he thought.

Since there was nothing else to do, we went straight back to the office.

There weren't many people in the office at this point. Most of them were sitting in their seats with their heads down, playing with their phones or resting with their eyes closed.

I finally found a suitable opportunity to ask Xiaoning about the computer's problem and smoothly logged in.

Xiaoning also enthusiastically taught me how to use the company's office system.

Strictly speaking, this was the first time I had ever used a computer, so I pulled him along and asked him a lot of questions he didn't understand.

Thankfully, he didn't dislike my questions. They were too childish, and he patiently answered them one by one.

I'll go ask Boss Fang in the afternoon. I should first arrange some simple jobs for you.

Yes, thank you.

You're too polite.

He should not be that old, and when he smiled, there was a hint of youth and shyness on his face.

Afraid that I couldn't remember it clearly, when he went back to his seat to rest, I called up the interface again and replayed what he had told me.

Just as I was seriously researching it, the phone that I casually placed in the corner vibrated.

Glancing at the name on the screen, I realized it wasn't good.

He was so engrossed just now that he completely forgot about his promise to meet with Xu Che.

I answered the phone guiltily.

Apologize before he can say anything. I'm sorry! I was too busy in the office to remember.

Perhaps it was my apology that eased his anger. His tone on the phone was calm, and he didn't blame me for my forgetfulness.

Are you in the office now?

Yes.

Come here. He reported a floor count.

I …

I was thinking that a lot of people in the restaurant should have just finished their meal and needed to go back to their department or go out. The elevator should be the most popular thing in the restaurant, so wouldn't it be a good time to take the elevator?

However, before I could even finish speaking a word, Xu Che had already thought of a solution for me.

Take the elevator in the cubicle.

As he spoke, he described his exact position.

After hanging up, I first turned to look at Xiaoning.

He was resting against the back of the chair, his eyes closed. He probably hadn't heard anything.

Gently, I got up and strode toward the office door.

There were still only a few people in the office. There was not a single sound that could be heard from the office.

I didn't attract anyone's attention, or even if I did, no one cared what I was doing.

According to his directions, he easily found the elevator hidden deep within the elevator on the other side of the elevator. As expected, there was no one there.

But I stood in the elevator for a few seconds studying it, and then I was stunned.

This elevator seemed to be specially designed for the finance department's upper echelons to directly reach the top floor. Only those with authority cards were allowed in and out of the elevator.

I glanced down at my chest, where I'd only gotten my tag in the morning. I didn't think I had that much authority now.

I don't understand what Xu Che is asking me to do here, even if there's an elevator, I can't get in.

Clang!

I was standing in the doorway hesitating, wondering if I should call him again and ask what he meant when the elevator door opened.

I looked back.

Before I could make out who it was, a hand reached out from the elevator and pulled me inside. I almost cried out in fright.

Don't shout, it's me.

When Xu Che saw the look of fear on my face, he immediately shouted out before me.

CHAPTER 203 - SIESTA

Hearing the familiar voice, I immediately stopped struggling and looked up at him.

Why did you come down?

With one arm around my waist, Xu Che pressed the keyboard of the elevator a few times with his other hand.

The elevator door slowly closed.

He turned and looked down at me.

I curled my lips. I was afraid that I was lying to you just now.

If he hadn't seen me at the door, I had the feeling that he would be rushing into the finance office by now.

Of course he wouldn't admit it, but he retorted seriously, I'm not coming. How are you going to get into this elevator?

It looked like I was the one who was thinking for me, and I had no reason to counterattack.

The elevator took us to the top floor.

He took my hand and pulled me into his office.

I was a little worried that I would be seen by others. I didn't want to be too intimate with him, but his grip was very tight. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't break free.

As I passed his outer office, which was obviously where the secretaries and assistants worked, I noticed that there was no one there, and probably all of them had gone out to settle their lunch as well.

Only then did I really relax and let him lead me through the heavy door.

I had been in and out of this room many times before, and I was not unfamiliar with its layout.

But the moment I stepped through the door, I was acutely aware that this place was a completely new space for me.

He had replaced everything my father had left behind, the floor, the pictures, the curtains, the bookcases, even the new desk.

Be it the style or the decorations, they were all in Xu Che's style, and had been completely changed.

I looked around with my eyes, and when I looked back, he had me on the sofa to one side.

The black leather sofa was the same as the one in his living room. The moment he sat down, he felt a cooling sensation from the place he touched.

He took out a pile of food boxes from nowhere and felt that it was still steaming hot.

Didn't you eat? I couldn't help but ask.

Yes.

He slowly unwrapped the plastic bag on the outside of the lunchbox and handed me a pair of chopsticks.

Let's eat together.

I've eaten. You eat.

He refused to put the chopsticks in my hand. Just a few more bites.

With a full stomach, I symbolically picked up a few chopsticks and put them in a bowl. I bit the chopsticks and watched him eat lunch.

He was very gentle when he ate.

It could be seen that he was actually a little hungry and kept picking up food. However, this did not affect him in the slightest.

His bony fingers gripped the slender chopsticks, and he put the food into his mouth in an elegant, unhurried manner.

I stared at him for a long moment before I spoke.

You're not waiting for me to come and eat together, are you?

The idea occurred to me because I suddenly remembered that he had called me many times when I'd just gotten off work, and that he probably had nothing to do.

Nearly an hour had passed since he finished talking. If he had not planned on doing so, he would have already finished his meal. How could he have ordered such a huge pile of food and waited patiently until now?

He looked over his shoulder at me.

I'm sorry … Although it isn't my fault, I still couldn't help but explain in detail. After work, a colleague I just met said to bring me to the cafeteria, I didn't think too much about it …

So soon to make new friends?

Not really.

Xiaoning's friendly face appeared in my mind, I couldn't help but add on, But he's very good, he helped me a lot.

You started speaking up for others just this morning? What's the name of this person?

he teased in a sour tone.

I knew that he definitely wouldn't be angry over such a small matter. He was most likely joking with me, so I didn't take it to heart. I wasn't afraid of him at all.

Then, with a smile, he asked, What, you want to reward a mutual help employee and give him a promotion and a raise?

If you want, that's fine.

He agreed quickly and naturally, as if it wasn't a big problem to think about at all.

On the other hand, I felt a little embarrassed. I glared at him and rebuked, You're just a boss, how can you be so unprincipled!

Because I want to make you happy.

Even though it was just empty words that no one would believe, it made me feel sweet and happy.

He couldn't say a word, but he could not help but smile.

He put a piece of meat in my bowl. Eat this, the most famous dish in his family.

I put it in my mouth, squinting, feeling the peculiar taste, and feeling quite content.

After dinner, when lunch break was almost over, I prepared to go back to my office to prepare for my first afternoon's work.

Xu Che stood up to send me off.

When he walked out of the familiar yet unfamiliar office, he looked up to find that there were already two girls sitting in the empty cubicle.

Dressed in a more mature and professional suit than the one I was wearing, he was sitting behind a computer table. He was probably the secretary who had just returned from a meal.

At the sound of the door opening, they both looked up at the same time and met my gaze.

According to my personality, I would usually smile at the other party to show my goodwill, to make the atmosphere less awkward.

However, the situation now is not suitable for us to smile. Xu Che and I were obviously planning to leave quietly.

As I hesitated to say hello, he stepped forward and nodded to the two of them, then took my arm again and strode out of the booth.

As I stepped out of the door, I could almost feel the hot, curious gaze behind me.

At the elevator door, I refused to let him see me off.

If you were to be seen a few more times, what use would our cover up earlier in the morning have? It would be better to directly tell others that it was all thanks to your connections that I was able to descend to the Finance Department.

I said, pushing him out of the elevator. I'll get off on my own. I'll see you after work.

When he saw my determination, he gave in.

Sure. Then I'll wait for you in the car after work. We'll go back together.

He did not know which of these words touched on his nerves, but by the time he finished speaking, his voice was already unbearably soft.

He even stretched out his slender fingers to help me hang a strand of hair that had fallen in front of me gently back to my ear.

His fingers brushed my cheek, and the warmth of his touch made me blush.

I gave him another shady shove and put some distance between us. Okay! I'll be leaving first!

As he spoke, he pressed several buttons to close the door, and the elevator doors slowly closed.

I had expected to spend my first day of work in a state of uneasiness and bustle, but with his consideration and silent encouragement, everything seemed simple and relaxed.

When I returned to my own seat in the office, Xiaoning had already come over to me before I even sat down.

Where did you go? Manager Faang came over to find you twice but didn't see you!

CHAPTER 204 - OVERTIME

Xiaoning looked a little anxious as he pointed towards the direction of the corridor and spoke to me.

Quickly go to her office and see if she has something to arrange.

Good! That way? Which room? "

By the way, you haven't been to her office yet! He became more anxious. I'll take you there.

After saying that, she stood in front of me and led the way. Follow me.

He walked so fast that I followed him obediently. Even though I was infected, I couldn't help but start to get nervous.

When I reached the entrance of Faang Yi's office, he looked at me and thought for a moment. In the end, he still helped me knock on the door.

Manager Faang, Bai Mo is back.

A crisp female voice came from behind the door, Come in.

Xiaoning pushed open the door, holding onto the door handle, he opened up a path, allowing me to go in.

Just as he was about to close the door behind me, Faang Yi, who was sitting behind my desk, raised her head and called out to him.

Xiaoning, you come in as well.

He was stunned for a moment, his eyes blank, as if he didn't know why he had stopped him.

Still, he answered with the same ease, Yes, yes.

He still closed the door, but he also walked in and stood beside me at Faang Yi's desk.

Sit down. Give me a minute.

Faang Yi seemed to be very busy, as she called out to us before turning her gaze back to her own computer.

Amidst the crackling of the keyboard, I sat down somewhat stiffly, waiting for her to finish.

After a while she stopped what she was doing and picked up a stack of papers from the other side of the table and handed them to me.

This project is one of our most urgent tasks right now. Take a look at it first. If there's anything you don't understand, just ask Xiaoning.

I took the not-so-thin stack with both hands and nodded at her. Okay.

You'll be in charge of getting the bottom part out this afternoon.

Flipping through it, I realized that what was at the bottom of the pile was a budget report that was yet to be completed.

I didn't speak for a long time, until Faang Yi asked again, Is there a problem?

Hmm, uh, isn't it better to let the veteran do the budget report?

I tried not to give her the impression that I was trying to shirk my job.

But to arrange such a huge task so early on, I must say I'm a bit scared.

Not only would there be a problem with what I had done, but if I could not complete my part within the allotted time, it would affect the part that others were responsible for, even forcing a delay in the entire project plan.

However, no matter how careful I tried to phrase it, it seemed like Faang Yi had already interpreted it as a rejection.

She asked me, Why, can't you do it?

I can try, but I've just arrived …

I had not even finished speaking when she had already mercilessly interrupted me. Then quickly do it, ask Xiaoning questions.

Then, he shifted his gaze onto Xiaoning and warned him.

Bring her along to work first and see if she can adapt to our strength.

I understand, Manager Faang.

Walking out of Faang Yi's office, I had a bitter face.

After returning to his seat, Xiaoning hesitated for a while, but in the end, he walked over and encouraged me.

Don't be afraid, just do what you can. Manager Faang … Since she dares to give you this mission, she must be planning for the worst.

I'm just worried that I'm not doing well enough to drag everyone down.

How about this, you first take a look at the information before you start. If you don't understand anything, come and ask me directly.

Is that okay? Won't it disturb your work too much?

Although Faang Yi told him to bring me more just now, I saw that he himself also needed to be busy with a lot of work. He originally did not plan to rely on him for too much.

I didn't expect him to take the initiative and help me.

He nodded. It's alright, I already arranged a big job for you on the first day of work, so it's natural for me to take care of you.

Thank you!

With his words, I felt like I had just eaten a pill of reassurance. I quickly threw myself into my work.

Like a sponge trying to quickly absorb information.

As I looked, the knowledge I'd learned in college seemed to be rummaged through the dusty corners of my mind, bit by bit coming back together.

I noted down my thoughts and thoughts, and consulted Xiaoning's opinion together with the contents that I didn't understand too well.

When it came to work, he became very serious, pointed out my mistakes, and patiently guided me for a long time.

When I returned to my seat, I felt much clearer and more confident than before.

I organized my thoughts, turned on the computer, and worked hard.

Once a person was engrossed in one thing, they would completely forget about the passage of time.

Other than occasionally going to the toilet, and then pouring a cup of water to go back to his seat to continue battling, it was already time for him to get off work.

When Xiaoning patted my shoulder, I was still completely immersed in the formula ocean, and was suddenly shocked.

It's already time to get off work. You can go back first and continue working tomorrow.

I glanced up.

The office was already more than half empty. There were still quite a few people fighting with their computers.

Although Xiaoning was informing me that he was getting off work and his own computer had not closed yet, the information on the table was spread open, and he didn't seem to want to leave at all.

I looked back at my computer screen and the pile of half-calculated numbers.

He raised his head and smiled at him, I will calculate everything before I leave.

He opened his mouth, but then suddenly thought of something and changed it, Alright then. I'm still a bit busy before I leave. If I really can't do it, we can order takeout."

Alright!

When he returned to his seat, I grabbed my phone.

Luckily he reminded her a little, otherwise she would miss her shift and would have Xu Che wait in the parking lot for half a day.

The girls beside me had already gotten off work and their seats were all empty, so I directly dialed Xu Che's number.

She lowered her voice and told him, Xu Che, I'm not finished today, and I still need to work overtime. You guys can go back first.

There was a pause of two seconds on the other end before he replied. So many jobs were assigned to you on the first day of work?

It's not that much, it's because I'm a novice. I work too slowly.

I'll wait for you.

Don't! I don't know what time it is yet, you can go back first. You don't need to wait for me to eat, I'll be eating at the company later."

His silence sounded like silent resistance.

In desperation, I had to lower my voice to coax him, I'll make it up to you when I get back.

Hearing this, his interest was piqued. How do I make it up?

We'll see when the time comes. Afraid that he would be too perfunctory, I added, It will definitely satisfy you.

He chuckled, Alright, I'll go back first.

But if it's too late, you shouldn't go alone. Call me to pick you up.

I know.

CHAPTER 205 - I'LL HELP YOU BLOW-DRY YOUR HAIR

When he left the office with Xiaoning, it was only around 8 PM.

When we said our goodbyes in front of the building, I didn't call Xu Che but went straight home.

Xu Che's House isn't too far from the company, and before 9 o'clock, I pushed open the door.

As soon as he entered, he could hear laughter coming from the television in the living room.

Yang Mengjin stuck his head out from the living room and smiled, You're back.

Yes. She was polite to me, and I kept the peace with her on the surface. Then I said, Have you eaten?

Yes.

She stepped forward and took my arm before I could push open the door and enter the room.

Don't go yet, Xiaomo. How was your first day at work? Come sit in the living room for a while and chat.

Just as I was about to reject, I saw Xu Che standing at the entrance of the guest hall not far behind her.

She was wearing a housecoat, her hands in her pockets, and her gentle eyes were fixed on my face.

He immediately softened his tone.

Wait for me to change my clothes.

Alright, then we'll wait for you.

I went back to my room and closed the door.

As he was changing his clothes, he kept thinking about whether Yang Mengjin was going to make a fuss again.

With Xu Che here, I wasn't worried that she would become too excessive. In fact, after so many exchanges, I already noticed that other than a few words of mockery, she didn't think that she could do anything more excessive either.

Most of the time, she didn't even dare to mock me too openly, though I still don't know why.

After changing into comfortable clothes, I quickly returned to the living room.

The people's voices continued to boil on the TV as the guest host played the game happily. Yang Mengjin was smiling, as if she was enjoying the show.

Xu Che noticed me first, and pointed to the spot beside him.

Sit.

Yang Mengjin's gaze immediately shifted from the television to me.

Xiaomo, you came over. Hurry up and tell us how you were doing at the company today.

I walked to Xu Che's side and sat down.

He carefully left a spot between the two of them and did not sit close to him.

He immediately frowned.

I quickly answered Yang Mengjin's question before he could speak to divert her attention.

Today was a very normal day, nothing special.

Really? Weren't they supposed to be working for quite a while? Were they supposed to be assigned a lot of work as soon as they arrived?

Does she mean that I was excluded from work on the first day?

Not a lot. It's just that I'm too slow at doing it myself, which is why I'm delaying my shift.

So that's how it is.

She didn't hesitate over this question as I had imagined she would. Instead, she rolled her eyes and asked a different question.

What about your colleagues? It should be easy to get along with them, right?

Not bad. Although I have only been in contact with Xiaoning for a whole day, he is indeed a gentle, considerate, and earnest big boy.

Sister Faang Yi is very demanding towards the person in her hands. She didn't make things difficult for you, did she?

Nope.

I couldn't help but frown as I kept feeling that there was something strange about her question.

She didn't seem to feel that her question made him feel any discomfort, so she continued.

That's good. You've caused me to worry for you all day for nothing.

But it's also my own fault. I clearly knew that you would definitely be able to do it with ease when I saw your appearance at noon. There is no need for us to worry.

What do you mean? I said, alarmed.

Her first reaction was that she saw that Xu Che and I were going to meet for lunch, which was why she forced me to come over and have a chat.

Wants to confront us.

But then she said something else, Didn't you have lunch with Finance's Xiaoning earlier?

I did not expect her to know Xiaoning as well. I nodded and admitted, That's right, he was the one bringing me to work today. That's why we ate lunch together.

Then I have to work overtime tonight. It should also be together, right?

Hearing this, I understood what the foreshadowing was for.

Without evading her gaze, I said, word for word, He works overtime because of his job.

She laughed innocently, Eh? Xiaomo, did you misunderstand something? I just asked casually. We all know that Xiaoning has a childhood sweetheart, we definitely won't misunderstand you guys.

No matter how slow Xu Che was, he finally reacted.

He raised his head to look at Yang Mengjin, his eyes carrying a sense of seriousness.

Yang Mengjin originally wanted to continue speaking, but when she saw his warning gaze, she swallowed all her words and became silent.

He took over.

He turned around to look at me. Are you tired?

Not tired. However, he hadn't sat in front of his computer for a long time. His back was still sore.

If I really can't do it, I'll explain it clearly to Faang Yi. He paused. Or tell me, don't push yourself too much.

Of course, I wasn't in the habit of typing reports, but since he was only trying to express his concern, I didn't try to reason with him.

Alright, I understand.

Without an excuse to start a conversation, Yang Mengjin quickly said that she was a little tired, and got up to return to her own room.

Xu Che and I continued to watch TV for a while. In fact, both of us were not even thinking about the lively television programs.

From time to time I peeked out of the corner of my eye at his handsome profile, and though he looked upright, it was clear that he wasn't looking at the television, and I wondered if he was in a daze.

Finally, I coughed and cleared my throat.

He was the first to speak, It's a bit late, I'll go take a bath first.

He came back to himself and smiled gently at me. Well, go on.

As I walked into the bathroom, I couldn't help wondering what he was thinking.

Although he felt that it was impossible, he was still a little worried that Yang Mengjin's wild imagination had caused him to run away.

After a random wash, I hastily dried myself and put on my clothes.

Originally, he planned to return to his own room, put down his things and go find Xu Che.

When I opened the door, I found the man already in my room, lying on my bed.

He flipped through the book under the light from the bedside lamp.

At the sound of the door opening, he looked up and grinned at me.

Mm … I closed the door.

I was worried that he might misunderstand my relationship with my new colleague, so I rushed to explain it to him and came out without washing up.

My hair is still dripping with water from being in
