Chapter 2

The word "wait a minute" was stuck in her throat, and it was like a basin of cold water poured over her head, making her feel cold.

At this moment, Yue Qianling felt that she had experienced all the "regrets" of the first twenty years of her life.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

Chen Yin returned the stamped resignation form to her and said reluctantly, "Goodbye, Qianling."

Yue Qianling: “…”

She looked stiffly at the resignation form, then at Gu Xun, and asked in a desperate struggle, "Are you here to work?"

Gu Xun rubbed his neck lazily, stared at the HR computer in front of him that was processing his onboarding, and said "hmm" as a response.

Then, he seemed to realize something, and as he turned his head, his eyes slowly moved towards the resignation form in her hand.

At first glance, there seems to be no difference between a resignation form and an entry form.

So, he asked, "Are you reporting here too?"

Yue Qianling lowered his head and whispered, "I'm here to resign."

"oh."

oh.

oh? ? ?

Yue Qianling's neck stiffened and he slowly raised his eyes.

Just an "oh"?

It seemed that Gu Xun did not show any extra emotion because of her resignation.

Without even saying anything polite, he took the employment form returned by the HR department and turned around and left.

The moment they passed each other, she felt that the coolness he brought from outside had not yet dissipated, and it swept across her cheek like a fine needle, causing an imperceptible slight stinging.

"Do you know each other?"

Chen Yin's voice suddenly brought Yue Qianling back to his senses.

"ah?"

"Oh, yes." Chen Yin said to herself, "I almost forgot that you are from the same school."

After saying that, she waved to Yue Qianling, "Okay, now the process is complete, you can go home."

Yue Qianling did not leave the company immediately.

She sat at her workstation and packed her things slowly, stopping from time to time to stare at her phone absentmindedly.

Without the harassment from various work groups, her phone was filled with only lively chats in the dormitory group, which she found a little unaccustomed to.

After a while, she suddenly interrupted with a sentence.

[Glutinous Rice Mahua]: I have completed the resignation process.

[Yin Xue]: Congratulations! Hotpot in the evening? !

【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: But I regretted it.

【Fang Qingqing】：?

[Yin Xue]:?

[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: Because I just found out that Gu Xun has joined our company.

[Yin Xue]:? ? ! !

[Fang Qingqing]: ...Ling, this is just not fate, really, just give up struggling.

Is there really no fate?

Fate has always been a matter of opinion. Some people believe that walking hand in hand for a lifetime is fate, while others believe that an eye contact in a vast sea of ​​people is fate.

Yue Qianling belongs to the latter.

When others talk about when they fell in love, it may be difficult to find a specific time point.

But Yue Qianling could clearly recall the moment when she first met Gu Xun, when the breeze carried the faint scent of osmanthus.

That was last September, the beginning of my junior year.

The Academy of Fine Arts where Yue Qianling worked finally moved from the Binjiang campus to the main campus.

The osmanthus tree next to the basketball court was in bloom with clusters of golden flowers. Curious about the new campus, Yue Qianling looked around under the tree.

A basketball suddenly flew towards her with great force, and she was scared to death.

At this moment, a boy came from behind her, raised his hand and calmly blocked the ball.

Very cliché plot.

But when Yue Qianling turned around and saw Gu Xun for the first time——

All her yearning and longing for love that had been nurtured for twenty years took shape in that instant.

The very next day, Yue Qianling's mother came to Jiangcheng on a business trip and also wanted to reminisce with an old classmate, so she brought Yue Qianling with her.

The other party's aunt would also bring her son, but Yue Qianling didn't expect that the aunt's son was Gu Xun.

This really cannot be described by the word "fate".

It was simply destined.

At least that’s what Yue Qianling thought.

But she didn't expect that the dinner that day was the day she talked the most with Gu Xun in more than a year.

Although it was said to be the most, in fact it was no more than four or five sentences, and they were just words that came up in response to the questions asked by the mothers of both sides.

After that, Yue Qianling felt that Gu Xun was just a stranger to her.

The school is so big that when we meet occasionally, we are just acquaintances, and most of the time, even a greeting is unnecessary.

But look at it now—

She resigned as soon as she left and Gu Xun reported in right after.

So is it true, as Fang Qingqing said, that she and Gu Xun are really not destined to be together?

No.

Yue Qianling wondered, there are so many companies, why did Gu Xun choose to enter this one.

It was clearly fate that even God didn't want them to go their separate ways after graduation.

Then a lingering and tormenting emotion invisibly enveloped her, making her have a strong desire to stay.

One Gu Xun can cover up all the shortcomings of this company.

only……

It was a bit too embarrassing to regret it just after leaving the job. Her boss might think she was frivolous and her colleagues might make fun of her behind her back.

Thinking of this, Yue Qianling sat at his workstation with a drooped brow, worrying.

I sat there until the end of the get off work day.

Overtime is a daily routine in gaming companies, and today is no exception. However, the team leader said that there would be a dinner party in the evening, so everyone got up and prepared to go downstairs.

"Let's go, Qianling." The team leader waved at her, "Let's go downstairs to eat."

Yue Qianling was about to say no when she heard a colleague next to her say, "Did you hear? A new lead developer has arrived in the Ninth Division."

Yue Qianling's eyelids twitched and she looked at her.

Another colleague said nonchalantly, "Change of lead developer? I think it's only a matter of time. There's nothing to be surprised about."

"But the new lead developer is a fresh graduate! I heard he's super damn handsome!"

"Is this true? Fresh graduates???"

"It's true." The team leader suddenly interrupted, packing his things and preparing to leave. "I just saw him in person when I went to the administration office. He's very handsome. I heard he's the most handsome guy on campus at Nanjing University."

"Nanjing University?" Upon hearing this, a colleague immediately looked at Yue Qianling, "Is he an alumnus of yours? Do you know each other?"

Yue Qianling nodded, "I know him."

"Ah?" The team leader suddenly turned around and stared at Yue Qianling in surprise, "But I just asked him if he knew you, and he said no."

“…”

The small office area suddenly fell silent.

Everyone looked at Yue Qianling with embarrassment and curiosity.

Her heart felt like it was being tugged at by someone, and Yue Qianling felt that every breath of air she inhaled was enough to suffocate her.

Fortunately, she was still rational, so she smiled quickly and said, "I mean, I know him. After all, he is a famous figure..."

"Oh, I see." The team leader covered his mouth and smiled, "I thought it was such a coincidence. I specifically asked him if he knew you. I thought you introduced him."

Yue Qianling said calmly: "Next time if you have anything you want to know, just come and ask me, otherwise -"

She pursed her lips and smiled, "I thought you, team leader, were also interested in Xiao Yilun's brother."

“…”

If everyone doesn't see the tension between the two at this time, they are fools.

So when Yue Qianling proposed to go home directly, it was difficult for others to try to keep her.

And because of the team leader's words "He said he doesn't know him", Yue Qianling was so angry that he missed the transfer station and wasted nearly half an hour more than usual before returning to school.

When I stepped into the school gate, it was already dark. The night running lights on the playground were lit up, contrasting beautifully with the sunset in the sky.

The phone rang a few times, and someone sent her a message on WeChat.

【School Prince】: Top number, 3=1.

Yue Qianling quickly replied, "No."

She was not in a hurry to go back to the dormitory, but paced around the playground.

With her head bowed and her scarf wrapped tightly around her. He was wandering aimlessly, with dull eyes, and one could tell at first glance that he was a frustrated man.

Yue Qianling was only twenty-one years old and did not yet have the ability to process her emotions independently. She needed the help of darkness and cold wind to hold back the sorrow in her heart.

She always knew that Gu Xun was not a very enthusiastic person, but was cold and unfriendly.

But she is the daughter of his mother's friend after all.

After having dinner together, I told the mothers that they would look after each other at school.

Even if we can't be called "friends", we can't even be considered "acquaintances".

Besides——

She still loves Gu Xun with all her heart.

Just when I was feeling sad, my cell phone kept vibrating.

【School Prince】: Where is he?

【School Prince】:?

[School Prince]: Do you really want me to carry the sedan chair to your doorstep?

Yue Qianling's bitterness was disturbed to the point of being reduced to nothingness.

Can't you carry the gun without me? !

She pressed the talk button, put the phone to her lips and said in a calm tone: "Hello boss, this is Xiao Mahua playing with you. I'm an invincible god of war with a KD7.6 rank. I can fight and obey orders. I can pull the gun line and report the location. I will protect you when I'm alive and save you when I die. There is nothing wrong with me except that I'm expensive. Boss, can you afford it? If you can't, let's end this chat first."

Yue Qianling originally wanted to express that he really had no desire to play games.

After a while.

【School Prince】: How much?

Yue Qianling glanced at his phone and casually sent a very outrageous number.

【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: 500 per hour.

After sending this message, Yue Qianling threw the phone into her pocket and went to the nearby milk tea shop to buy a cup of hot milk tea.

My heart is already cold, my hands can't be frozen anymore.

It was twenty minutes later that Yue Qianling returned to the dormitory.

When she took off her coat, she took out her cell phone and glanced at the screen casually, only to find several new messages on it.

She opened it and took a look, and almost dropped the phone.

[School Prince]: Are you short of money recently?

[The school hunk transferred 5,000 yuan to you. 】

[School Prince]: Buy ten hours first and log in.

【School Prince】: Where is he?

[School Prince]: Did you run away with the money?
