What I can't stand the most is women crying, and in my impression, Wang Xiaoxiao has never been a woman who likes to cry.

Seeing her crying so miserably in front of me, her silent sobs were like a knife to my heart, and I was completely at a loss.

Looking at Wang Xiaoxiao, I was completely at a loss for what to do.

"Hey, hey, don't cry! Just tell me what's wrong. If you think I did something wrong, I can change! But what's the point of you crying?"

I looked at Wang Xiaoxiao, her voice hoarse, and didn't know what to say, so my sentences became somewhat incoherent.

Wang Xiaoxiao stared at me, her eyes wide open, tears streaming down her face without making a sound. She just stared at me stiffly, making me feel uneasy and a chill run down my spine.

I even regretted telling her about this last night in such a heated manner. I didn't expect Wang Xiaoxiao's reaction to be so strong.

I reached out to grab her, but Wang Xiaoxiao suddenly took a step back, staring at me coldly. Then she wiped away her tears, her face filled with despair.

"Zhao Sihai, I always thought you were just a straight man, never having any delicate thoughts, so you didn't know what I was thinking. But when I saw how gentle you were to Xiao Qiang and Xu Wei, I knew that you also have a warm side. I always thought that one day I could receive your favor, your special treatment, and have you put me in your heart, just like Xiao Qiang and Xu Wei. But I never thought that I would never get that day. Moreover, you want to push me away and give me only to Wang Ping. Do you think I am an object? You can just give me to whomever you want?"

I listened with a frown as Wang Xiaoxiao rattled off so much, and for a moment I couldn't quite process it all.

When I saw Wang Xiaoxiao, I became extremely nervous.

"What are you saying? I consider you a friend, my best friend. How could I possibly treat you like an object and hand you over to Wang Ping? It was Wang Ping who told me he liked you, and I also think Wang Ping is someone I can entrust my life to. On this deserted island, when we don't know if we'll be able to see the sun safely tomorrow, I hope there's someone who can keep you in their heart, cherish you, and pamper you!"

After listening to what I said, Wang Xiaoxiao gave a cold shout.

"Don't you know what I'm thinking? Aren't you doing this just to disgust me?"

After hearing what Wang Xiaoxiao said, I was suddenly stunned. A thought flashed through my mind for a moment, but I quickly dismissed it.

Does Wang Xiaoxiao like me?

But how is that possible?

I never thought Wang Xiaoxiao would like me, and even though we've been together for so long, she has never shown any feelings of that kind.

I stared blankly at Wang Xiaoxiao, not knowing what to say.

Wang Xiaoxiao stared at me blankly for a long time before she gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"Hmph, I always thought you just didn't know, but now I think you should have figured it out a long time ago, right?"

"Yes, I'm not pretty, not gentle, and my figure isn't as good as Xiao Qiang's, nor is my personality as good as Xu Wei's, so it's fine if you look down on me. But you want to give me to Wang Ping, what makes you think that? Don't I even have the power to do what I want to do? To make my own decisions?"

As I listened to Wang Xiaoxiao's words, I became increasingly confused and didn't know what to say.

Wang Xiaoxiao cried even harder, and suddenly, she raised her hand and slapped my chest.

"Zhao Sihai, I like you. I've liked you for a long time. Do you think I was so nice to you at the company? It's because I like you. I like seeing your silly smile, I like seeing you standing guard at the company gate, I like seeing you getting me soup and milk for lunch. But you never knew that I was always thinking of finding a suitable opportunity to tell you. But now it seems that even if I told you, you would only be asking for trouble! I'm a joke, a huge joke!"

After Wang Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she turned around and ran away. I stood there as if struck by lightning, my mind a jumbled mess, not knowing what to say.

This is something I never thought of. I've always considered Wang Xiaoxiao a friend. I always thought she was nice to me because of my honest and kind personality, and because I always greeted people with a smile at the company. No one expected that she would have such thoughts.

And it also hides such good things.

I've been working at the company for over a year, and I've known Wang Xiaoxiao for over a year. During the months we were stranded on this deserted island, we shared joys and sorrows, even life and death. But while I've considered all sorts of things, this is the one thing I overlooked.

My head was buzzing, and my whole body was stiff. I didn't know how to handle this, and I never expected Wang Xiaoxiao to be so blunt about it, leaving it to me.

If I had known Wang Xiaoxiao's true feelings earlier, I would never have recklessly paired her with Wang Ping. Now, wouldn't this situation have become even more awkward?

I was completely at a loss, not even knowing how to face Wang Ping in the future, let alone how to handle Wang Xiaoxiao's situation...

In the midst of the panic, I suddenly heard footsteps behind me. I turned around and saw Wang Ping standing right behind me, with Chen Jian standing next to him, shirtless and dripping wet.

Wang Ping stood stiffly beside me, his face deathly pale, like a zombie.

Chen Jian's eyes widened like saucers, and his face was filled with disbelief.

It's obvious without even guessing that Wang Ping and Chen Jian heard every single word of what Wang Xiaoxiao and I said.

This makes things even more complicated; I don't even have time to think about how to solve the problem.

I stood there stiffly, and Wang Ping and Chen Jian also stood there stiffly. The three of us were like three statues, but no one spoke, no one made a sound, we just stood there straight.

After a long while, I finally mustered up the courage to explain the matter to Wang Ping. It was indeed my fault for playing matchmaker. But Wang Ping had already turned and left, leaving Chen Jian looking dumbfounded.

After a long while, I watched as Chen Jian stiffly took steps to get closer to me, his face contorted in pain.

"Brother Sihai, is what Accountant Wang said true? My God, what a bombshell! Accountant Wang actually likes you? If Xiao Qiang and Xu Wei find out about this, won't it be another troublesome lawsuit?"

After listening to Chen Jian, I felt even weaker. Yes, now, besides Wang Ping being a bit troublesome, Xiao Qiang and Xu Wei are also not easy to deal with!
