Li Miaomiao really wanted to ask for leave the next day, but her leader just refused to approve it. It was incredible. Guo Xiaoting didn't go to work every day and it was never counted as absenteeism, so why didn't she approve it for me?

"Director, I'm sick again. I feel really bad now. I won't be going to work tomorrow. I'm taking a leave."

"How can you not go to work? Who will do all the work? You are young, can't you be patient? I am so old and I still insist on going to work, why can't you persist?"

"Director, I have COVID-19, and it's very serious. I almost died in the past two weeks. I don't care. I just want to rest at home tomorrow. It's up to you whether you approve it or not."

Li Miaomiao felt exhausted and mentally drained, and didn't want to communicate with these strange interpersonal relationships anymore, but the director was still blabbering and trying to refuse.

"That's all I have to say. I can't work tomorrow, so I've asked for leave. You can deduct my salary if it's due. I have to take care of my life. I go to work to make a living. What's the point of going to work if my life is gone?"

After saying that, Li Miaomiao hung up the phone and was furious again.

"I'm really impressed. Have these old employees never experienced life before? Or have they become old wives after years of being wives? All they know is to bully the newcomers? What the hell?"

Li Miaomiao was really angry today, so she edited these words and sent them to Anlina who had not yet finished get off work.

This time, Anlina's reply was not as quick as before, and it was very brief, without any emoticons. Li Miaomiao found it a bit strange because she always loved to send emoticons.

Anlina dragged her tired body back to the rental house. Instead of using the key to open the door, she knocked on it.

"Miaomiao, open the door, it's me, Anlina."

"Oh, why don't you open the door? Don't you have the key with you?" Li Miaomiao walked over and opened the door.

As soon as the door opened, Anlina almost fell on Li Miaomiao. Li Miaomiao quickly supported her and dragged her into the house, but they couldn't enter the room.

Li Miaomiao placed Anlina on a stool next to the dining table. She saw that she was pale and looked in pain.

"Are you a sheep again?" Li Miaomiao asked.

"No, I was in a bad mood and drank a little."

Anlina tried to stand up by holding onto the table, but she just couldn't.

"What's wrong with you? You look so miserable. Are you okay?"

"Miaomiao, I may not be able to live with you anymore."

"Huh? Why? Are you going to quit? Change jobs? Or go out?"

"Neither. I'll stick with this job and won't go anywhere else."

"Then why don't you live with me? Is there something I did wrong? Lina, don't leave. I will clean the house well in the future and will never make you angry again."

"Miaomiao, how could I dislike you? You are my good friend. I haven't met a roommate as kind and amiable as you in all these years, and I won't meet one in the future."

"Then why do you want to leave? If you think I'm nice, then stay with me forever. I'm not chasing you away."

"Miaomiao, the thing is, my boyfriend asked me to live with him."

"Where does your boyfriend live?"

"It's a bit far, but not too far. It's about four or five kilometers from here. You can get there in a few steps."

Anlina smiled as she said, "It's just a few steps away."

"Wouldn't that make it even farther from your workplace?"

"Yeah, but I want to go live with him and take the bus to work from now on."

"Lina, once or twice is fine, but after a long time, you won't be able to bear it anymore. You'd better stay with me."

"Miaomiao, I have to go live with Yang Ziyi, otherwise he will worry. I'm afraid he will be so depressed that he will commit suicide."

Li Miaomiao had a lot of questions in her mind. Why did she have to burn out her CPU after work?

"He will commit suicide? Why? He can't take care of himself and wants you to take care of him? A man is so pretentious?" Li Miaomiao spoke a little excitedly.

"Miaomiao, don't get excited. Yang Ziyi doesn't mean any harm. He just wants me to spend more time with him. He's too insecure and lonely."

"Who isn't lonely nowadays? I lived alone before and I didn't feel lonely. He's the only one who lacks security. I even had a perverted boss stalking me, but it wasn't like him."

"Miaomiao, since you're not afraid, then just bear with it for a while and live on your own. I'll come and stay with you for one day every week and continue to pay the rent. You don't have to be afraid."

Li Miaomiao was speechless. How could Anlina say such a thing?

"Lina, what's wrong with you? Tell me why it happened."

"It's okay, Miaomiao, I'm going to sleep first."

Anlina was acting abnormally today, and Li Miaomiao was a little angry. She thought to herself, "I don't care about her anymore. I'm exhausted today and I'm sick too. I'll just go to sleep."

It was late at night, and the two were in their own rooms, not sleeping together, and each had their own thoughts.

Anlina was lying on the bed, scrolling through her phone in a daze, not paying attention to anything, when she suddenly received a message.

Yang Ziyi: "Lina, please come and live with me, I beg you, I'm worried about you, it would be better if you live with me."

An Lina felt uncomfortable watching this and sent a voice message back: "I live even further from your workplace than you do. I often work overtime. Aren't you afraid that I might be in danger if I go home at night?"

After a while, the other party replied: "But it's more dangerous for you to share the house with others. I'm afraid you will cheat on me."

"The person I'm sharing the apartment with is a girl, what are you afraid of?"

"She's a lesbian and has had a girlfriend."

Her boyfriend's cold tone frightened An Lina. She had never told anyone that Li Miaomiao was a lesbian, so how did Yang Ziyi know? An Lina was puzzled.

"How do you know Miaomiao is a lesbian?"

"Why didn't you tell me she was a lesbian? Were you and her already hooking up?"

"What? I'm protecting someone's privacy. They're nice to me."

"Being good to you? You care about her so much? Are you in love with her and not me anymore? You are so beautiful, but I worry about you day and night. Do you know that, Anlina?"

"Why are you so unreasonable? Miaomiao falls in love with every girl she meets. You misunderstood her."

"Yes, I misunderstood her, and you misunderstood me too. Let's break up, Anlina. You don't love me anymore. You've fallen in love with Li Miaomiao."

"What's the connection? When did I stop loving you? When did I fall in love with Li Miaomiao?"

"You are. Anyway, Li Miaomiao loves you and you love her too. You should get together as soon as possible. I wish you a long and happy marriage, many children and good fortune. Go to hell, you stinky bitch."

After seeing these words, Anlina almost fainted. She did not reply. At night, Yang Ziyi began to apologize again.

It was already one in the morning when Anlina sent a message to Li Miaomiao: "Miaomiao, I want to live with my boyfriend."
