During lunch, Shi Zhou next to her stared at her from time to time, and even Qian Xiaodou opposite her showed a puzzled expression. They had known each other for so long but had never seen Sang Tianen come to work with such big dark circles under his eyes.

Qian Xiaodou was the first to lose his temper. He leaned over the edge of the table and asked curiously, "Team Leader, what's wrong with you?"

"What do you mean by 'what's wrong'?" Sang Tianen stared at her strangely and frowned. "If you want to say something, just say it clearly. Don't just say half of it like squeezing toothpaste."

Qian Xiaodou pointed at his eye sockets with his fingers: "Why do your eyes look like those of an iron-eating beast? What did you do last night?"

Sang Tianen picked up a piece of bean sprouts with chopsticks and said calmly: "Nothing, I just read a little longer."

She would never tell anyone that she stayed up all night just to finish reading a romance novel.

At first she was just trying to learn, but the more she read on, the more addicted she became, and she simply couldn't stop. In the end, when she saw the hero and heroine separated, she cried like a fool and wanted to grab the author and beat him up.

Why didn't she discover such a good thing before? No wonder she was always called mentally retarded when she wrote romantic scenes, and people said that one cannot write such a stupid plot without an IQ of 250.

She was not convinced at first, but now it seems that the criticism was right. The characters she wrote had no souls at all. They were just following the rules of love. They did everything that was required in love and then became a couple.

There is no emotional tension between the male and female protagonists, just like a puppet on a string, which makes people feel calm.

But the book she read last night did not give her such a feeling at all. It was as if there were really two young men and women living in a corner of the world, and she was experiencing their joys and sorrows from God's perspective, and finally she was overwhelmed with sadness.

Sang Tianen had to admit that she really had no talent in writing novels. Fortunately, this was just one of her few hobbies. If she relied on this to make a living, she would have to sleep under a bridge.

"What kind of book can make you look like this? Tell me about it." Shi Zhou next to him also interrupted, and he became very curious about the book Sang Tianen was talking about.

Of course Sang Tianen wouldn't tell her, so he made up an excuse and said, "You wouldn't be interested even if I told you."

Anyone with a discerning eye would know that the other party didn't want to answer this question, but Qian Xiaodou couldn't see that. He asked curiously, "I want to know too. I like reading all kinds of books. Team leader, just tell me."

The unfortunate child really had no sense at all. Sang Tianen was annoyed with her and stood up and said, "I'll go get a bowl of soup."

After Sang Tianen left, Qian Xiaodou frowned, her eyes rolling around. Shi Zhou found it funny and said, "Don't ask. She won't tell."

"Why shouldn't I tell you about this?" Qian Xiaodou's curiosity grew stronger. Then her expression froze, and she suddenly opened her mouth in surprise, mumbling, "Oh my God, it can't be that kind of..."

Shi Zhou raised his hand and gave her a chestnut, then rolled his eyes at her: "What are you imagining?"

Qian Xiaodou covered her head in pain and began to think again. A few seconds later, her eyes suddenly widened, almost twice their usual size, and a strange light shot out from them, like shock, admiration and envy.

"Can you be a little more sane?" Shi Zhou said speechlessly. He could tell with his toes that this girl was definitely up to no good.

Qian Xiaodou put down her chopsticks, leaned over and whispered, "Didn't the team leader say a few days ago that she just got a boyfriend..." Then she nodded and winked at her, with an expression that said, "You should understand."

Shi Zhou was truly stunned by what she said. A woman who had been single for twenty-six years suddenly had a boyfriend and came to work with dark circles under her eyes...

The most important thing is that she has known Sang Tianen for so many years, and she has never heard of her staying up late just because of a good book...

When Sang Tianen came back after making the soup, he saw Shi Zhou and Qian Xiaodou looking at him with strange expressions, especially Qian Xiaodou, who seemed to be hesitant to speak.

She looked at the two of them with a puzzled look on her face and said, "What are you doing? Is there something dirty on my face?" Then she took a sip of soup.

Qian Xiaodou showed a conflicted expression, and finally bit her lip and whispered, "Team Leader, everything should be done in moderation, understand?"

"Hmm?" Sang Tianen looked at her with raised eyebrows, his eyes a little confused.

"That's it..." Qian Xiaodou was too embarrassed to say it out loud. Of course, she was more afraid that Sang Tianen would scold her.

Sang Tianen hated people who hesitated when speaking. She either said it all at once or didn't say anything. It was really annoying to keep people in suspense. She pursed her lips and said, "If you have something to say, say it. If you don't, don't say it."

Shi Zhou kicked Qian Xiaodou's foot under the table and said with a nonchalant smile, "Xiaodou just wants to tell you not to work so hard and take care of your health."

This statement was very far-fetched, and Sang Tianen didn't think about it in detail. She just wanted to go back to the office and watch a very popular urban idol drama recently.

The heroine in the film was called "human delusion" by netizens. She wanted to see how charming this heroine was and how she could attract the love of so many men. She had to learn from her.

Once Sang Tianen makes up her mind to do something, she will give it 100% effort, because only by going all out can she avoid regrets.

So, she worked during the day and went home at night to read all kinds of romance novels and idol dramas. After a week, her face looked like a zombie in a TV series, and she even walked a little unsteadily.

Seeing her like this, Shi Zhou was afraid that she would suddenly collapse, so he found an opportunity at noon and pulled her to a deserted corner.
