The winter snow melts, turns into water, and turns into rain, nourishing all things. The earth regains its vitality, flowers and plants are vying to emerge from the soil, and the whole place is full of spring.

In early March, the company will welcome new interns and new recruits.

The turnover rate in this industry is very high. The price of good treatment is high pressure and long overtime. Many grassroots employees will choose to change careers or return to their hometowns for development due to housing problems, health issues and other factors.

Even in a top-tier company like Zhenghe, staff turnover is inevitable, especially at the beginning of the year, when a wave of people will leave after receiving their year-end bonuses.

Among Ye Nanning's group of interns, three also submitted their resignation applications, including Yan Zhenghao.

Yan Zhenghao did not make any mistakes at work, but he did not have any outstanding achievements. Students who can graduate from B University must be at the top of their class. He was once a celebrity in high school, but after entering B University, he realized that there are always better places. But when he really entered the workplace, he found that many things were not smooth sailing. His proud academic performance may not allow him to repair printers skillfully. A family with a little capital is not worth mentioning in the eyes of these colleagues who always talk about millions of dollars.

In terms of work ability, he is neither as good as Ye Nanning of the same period, nor as good as Mingshuang who returned from Shanghai.

After some struggle, he chose the latter between ideal and reality and decided to go home to run his family's small factory.

The interns of the same period held a farewell party for the three people who were about to leave. It was called a farewell party, but in fact it was just a meal in a restaurant, where they boasted to each other, looked forward to the future, and wished the three people who were about to leave.

Ye Nanning sat next to Hu Jiaxu, not saying much, acting as a mascot, and only answering a sentence or two when someone asked a question.

Since it was a farewell, there would be wine on the table, and from time to time someone would raise a glass or have a drink with each other. Ye Nanning also drank some. She was not in a state of confusion yet, but her cheeks were flushed. She sat quietly in the corner, as if she had a natural barrier to the secular world, which made people yearn for her but not dare to approach her rashly.

After the dinner, the group walked out arm in arm. Hu Jiaxu was drunk. Ye Nanning helped her walk to the door with difficulty. They saw a tall, thin and handsome guy coming towards them and calling out Hu Jiaxu's name.

Hu Jiaxu looked up and immediately ran over to hug him dizzily, then turned back to say goodbye to Ye Nanning: "Xiao Ye, this is my boyfriend, do you want to come with us?"

"No need, I have someone to pick me up." Ye Nanning smiled and said, "You can go back soon."

"Okay, then we'll go back~" Hu Jiaxu dragged out the last syllable and was taken away by her boyfriend.

Others also left one after another. Ye Nanning stood there, looking at her phone, when someone patted her shoulder.

She looked back and saw Yan Zhenghao, who reeked of alcohol.

"Why are you going back?" Yan Zhenghao's face turned red when he drank, but his behavior was still restrained and polite.

Ye Nanning replied: "Someone is here to pick me up."

"Who? Boyfriend?" Yan Zhenghao asked again.

Ye Nanning frowned and did not answer. He was leaving anyway, so there was no point in knowing the answer.

Yan Zhenghao thought she had emotional problems, so he suddenly held her arm and asked, "Ye Nanning, do I still have a chance?"

"Let me go." Ye Nanning struggled hard to break free from his hand, but found that he was incredibly strong.

"You know, I have always liked you. I will go back and try another way to develop my career. If I succeed, I will come to find you, okay? I will definitely try my best to give you a good future." Yan Zhenghao spoke quickly, his expression becoming more and more excited. Every time Ye Nanning took a step back, he would take a step forward, constantly expressing his sincerity.

At this moment, his head was hit by a bag.

"Didn't you see that she doesn't want to? Take your hand away!" A cold voice sounded from behind him. He turned around in disbelief and saw that it was Du Xiran. For a moment, doubts occupied all his thoughts.

Ye Nanning took the opportunity to break free and rubbed the place where he had pinched her.

Yan Zhenghao looked over at this moment, and seeing that Ye Nanning's expression had faded, he belatedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I was too impatient just now, did I hurt you?"

"It's okay. I'm leaving first." Ye Nanning turned her head to look at Du Xiran, "Let's go."

Du Xiran looked at Yan Zhenghao sharply for a while before taking her hand and walking outside.

Yan Zhenghao stood there in a daze for a long time, until the backs of the two people walking side by side gradually went away. He then withdrew his gaze in a trance, feeling that something was weird.

The way President Du looked at him just now was like a wild beast whose territory had been invaded, with its thorns standing up all over its body.

When he met Du Xiran in the company, they were just nodding acquaintances and hardly ever said anything. Naturally, he had never shown such a cold look to him.

Moreover, the fact that Du Xiran came to pick up Ye Nanning to take her home was very shocking. He knew that the two were neighbors, but Du Xiran was still his superior. Wouldn't it be a bit too good of a relationship for him to come and pick someone up so late at night?

The alcohol was taking effect again, and he rubbed his temples. However, a strange thought came to his mind -

Ye Nanning said that she had someone she liked, but she had never been close to any boy. In the company, she was only close to Hu Jiaxu and Du Xiran, and Hu Jiaxu had just been picked up by his boyfriend.

I just asked Ye Nanning if she had a boyfriend, but she didn’t answer. Maybe it’s not because she had relationship problems with her boyfriend, but - that person is his girlfriend?

In the car, Du Xiran looked unhappy and asked, "Didn't you learn some self-defense skills? Why don't you use it?"

Ye Nanning explained: "He was drunk."

"What if he takes advantage of the alcohol to bully you?"

"He doesn't want to hurt me. I know my limits. If he doesn't let go, I will beat him up," Ye Nanning said affirmatively.

Du Xiran sighed helplessly, pulled her hand over, and rolled up his sleeves: "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt."

"You said it doesn't hurt." Du Xiran looked at the faint red mark on her white jade-like arm, feeling a little distressed, and rubbed it gently for her.

"Thank you." Ye Nanning smiled at her.

"What are you thanking me for? If I had come earlier, nothing would have happened." Du Xiran said guiltily, "Sorry, I got caught up in something."

"It doesn't matter. Work is more important. And I'm already very happy that you came to pick me up." Ye Nanning's smile never faded from her face. "You don't know how long I have imagined this scene."

"Which scene?"

"Come and take me home."

Du Xiran smiled, started the car, and asked, "Have you thought of anything else?"

"Yes, I've thought about us secretly kissing in an empty movie theater, cooking and watching TV series together on weekends, and sleeping together at night..." Ye Nanning covered each other's mouths, revealing two panicked eyes.

"You're great. You can't control your mouth once you drink. I didn't know you have so many little thoughts." Du Xiran joked.

Ye Nanning's already flushed face became even redder.

In addition to personnel changes in the company, there were also some slight changes at home. Du Heruo's school notified that the make-up class time would be increased after March, and there would only be half a day off in the afternoon every week.

The countdown to the college entrance examination has begun, and Du Heruo's casual heart cannot help but be infected by the tense atmosphere. He takes two hours out of his half-day holiday to come to Ye Nanning for tutoring, and then takes the time to have a good meal before going to school.

The happiest person about her change was undoubtedly Du Xiran, who told her parents on the phone and they were also very happy. When they learned that Ye Nanning was still doing her best to help Du Heruo with her lessons, her parents insisted on calling Ye Nanning over the phone, thanked her for a long time, and said they would give her a big red envelope when they met next time.

Ye Nanning thanked the two parents.

After hanging up the video, Du Xiran saw that Ye Nanning looked calm and smiled faintly: "Stop pretending, you are about to pick my nails off."

Ye Nanning looked down and saw that he was scratching his hands nervously. She immediately let go and looked at Du Xiran awkwardly: "Your parents are so nice."

"How could you have raised such a good daughter like me otherwise?" Du Xiran smiled and fell onto the sofa, opening one hand.

Because Du Heruo now has to live in school every day, the two of them have more time alone, and it is much more convenient to kiss and hug each other.

Ye Nanning also lay down, resting his head on her hands, looking at her intently.

The sofa was not big enough for two people to lie flat. When Du Xiran turned sideways, Ye Nanning also turned to face her, with curved eyes: "You are right, your parents are very good, so you are also very good."

Du Xiran smiled, stretched out his hand and patted her waist, saying, "You are also very good, which shows that your parents are also great."

Ye Nanning lowered her eyes slightly, subconsciously shrank a little closer to her arms, and said softly: "Well, they are fine."

Du Xiran stopped there. In all the time they had known each other, she had never heard Ye Nanning mention her parents on her own initiative, and she rarely saw her family elders contact her. Instead, it was Ye Tingyuan who acted as the liaison.

"You're lucky. You can even receive a red envelope from my parents." Du Xiran changed the subject naturally.

"I don't need it." Ye Nanning looked up at her, "I didn't have the nerve to refuse just now. I don't need your money."

"Why not? This is a reward for you. You have contributed to Du Heruo's progress." Du Xiran said with a smile.

"But you've already paid me, and I feel a little uneasy about taking money from my uncle and aunt."

Du Xiran hugged her waist, kissed her forehead, and said with a smile: "Then just think of them as a gift to my girlfriend."

Ye Nanning raised her head suddenly, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but curl up: "Is it still possible?"

"Of course, you have to receive a red envelope when you meet their parents." Du Xiran smiled and moved down a little, kissing her lips.

The living room was very quiet, with only the occasional sound of water and uneven breathing.

A ringtone interrupted the charming atmosphere. Du Xiran stepped back and took the phone from the coffee table. The caller was a major client who was about to sign a cooperation agreement. After answering the call, her eyes were still glued to the blushing Ye Nanning: "Hello, Mr. Liu."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Du, for disturbing your rest so late. I want to talk to you again about the merger and acquisition case you mentioned last time."

"No problem, what else do you want to know?" Du Xiran answered the phone while playing with Ye Nanning's hair, "Well... I sent you the information of that company, the data is in it, can you see if there is anything missing?"

"I'm at home and the information is at the company." Mr. Liu said with difficulty.

"I have a backup here, wait for me." Ye Nanning suddenly sat up, got up and ran back to her house to get the computer.

Mr. Liu also heard the voice of another girl and asked, "Mr. Du, you are not still working overtime with your colleagues in the company, are you?"

Du Xiran glanced in the direction of the door opposite and smiled without saying anything.

After getting the backup data, Du Xiran talked to Mr. Liu about the data for a long time on the phone. She occasionally turned her head to look at Ye Nanning, and when she heard Mr. Liu go to drink water on the other end of the phone, she covered her phone and whispered to Ye Nanning: "Are you sleepy? Do you want to go back to sleep first?"

Ye Nanning shook her head and pointed at the information on the computer, indicating that she should check again to see if there were any omissions.

Du Xiran smiled and heard Mr. Liu on the other end of the phone sit back down and was about to continue talking on the phone.

In fact, there was nothing wrong with the data. Ye Nanning was just looking for an excuse to accompany her, but she was still staring at the screen seriously. At this moment, a shadow suddenly covered her eyes. She raised her head, but before she could see clearly, a layer of warmth covered her lips.

Their eyes met. She was still in a daze, but she saw a smile in Du Xiran's eyes. Then Du Xiran sat back up as if nothing had happened: "Hey, Mr. Liu, let's continue."

Ye Nanning covered her heart quietly.
