At noon the next day, Ji Yixiang sent a text message to Li Miaomiao:
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have treated you like that yesterday. You deleted me and I was afraid you would ignore me again. I was wrong. I was in a bad mood. I apologize."
Li Miaomiao was already fed up with it and felt extremely helpless. However, what she didn't know was that after Ji Yixiang sent her a text message, he posted a circle of friends.
Moments content: I accidentally hurt a kind person because I was in a bad mood, and I now solemnly apologize to her.
After seeing this, Zhou Yuqing said to his girlfriend, "I don't know what's wrong with this poor loser."
However, after a while, something even more explosive happened. Ji Yixiang posted a photo of Li Miaomiao on his circle of friends. The photo was taken secretly by Ji Yixiang when she was slacking off at work.
When this circle of friends was posted, everyone was shocked, so Brother Zhang and Director Li went to talk to Ji Yixiang at the same time.
Ji Yixiang went to see Brother Zhang first, and this time Brother Zhang finally spoke to him like an adult.
"Xiao Ji, we can't be lickers. Those two slaps on your face that day, don't they hurt now?"
"Brother Zhang, it was my fault. I accidentally hurt her, so of course I have to apologize to her."
"Then why do you post other people's photos on WeChat Moments?"
"I... because, Brother Zhang, I've been single for twenty-three years. She's pretty, so let me be vain a little."
"You're amazing."
After a while, someone sent a message to Li Miaomiao to report the incident.
"Miaomiao, Ji Yixiang posted your photo on WeChat Moments."
Li Miaomiao replied: "As long as the idiot is happy, that's fine."
Director Li came to talk to Ji Yixiang.
"Xiao Ji, I know you like Li Miaomiao, but you won't be able to get a girl like this."
"Director, don't talk nonsense. I didn't do that." Facing Director Li's questioning, Ji Yixiang tried to cover up again.
"Don't say it, don't say it, don't pretend. We've seen it for a long time. You really love this girl. The way you look at her is different, but you have low self-esteem and you're afraid that she won't like you."
"Yes, I like her, but it's more out of loneliness. In fact, she is an insignificant person to me. She was the one who fell in love with me first." Ji Yixiang argued cunningly.
"Don't say that. Your excuse is wrong. Li Miaomiao is sick. She has no emotional cells. I've been treating her for months and it hasn't worked. How could she fall in love with you? Besides, she's arrogant and doesn't look down on you."
After being scolded by Director Li, Ji Yixiang finally admitted it with a blushing face and a beating heart.
"Yes, I do like her. I initially thought I liked Liu Meiyi, and later I thought I liked Guo Xiaoting, but neither of them is the case. My favorite is still Li Miaomiao."
"Why did you scatter thumbtacks on her stool if you loved her? Why did you go to your master and complain about her if you loved her? Why did you maliciously report her if you loved her? And one more thing, why was she so aggressive in my office?
I know you used the wrong method and expressed it wrongly, but why are you angry with a girl? And Miaomiao did nothing wrong. It was you who bullied her again and again, and she repeatedly tolerated it, but you repeatedly intensified it. "
Ji Yixiang's face turned red and he lowered his head in shame.
"Xiao Ji, you are an adult now. I will no longer treat you as a child, but as an adult man. Although you are my junior, you have to do mature things."
Ji Yixiang was more nervous facing Director Li than facing Brother Zhang. He remembered that when he first came to work, Li Miaomiao took the initiative to want to go to and from get off work with him. It was because Li Miaomiao was suppressed by the feeling of fear at that time.
"Ji Yixiang, can you help me cover?" Li Miaomiao asked.
"What cover?"
"Come home with me on the way to and from get off work. We live close anyway."
"Don't I walk with you every day? Why are you..."
"I, I'm afraid Director Li will ask me to do some work, so please help me cover for him."
This may be the reason why Ji Yixiang mistakenly believed that Li Miaomiao fell in love with him. Then Director Li’s next sentence surprised Ji Yixiang even more.
"That girl is quite clever. When she first came here, I sent her a message one night, asking if she could come out. It was only a little after 10 o'clock, but she didn't reply. The next day, she told me she was asleep. You young people love to stay up late, how is that possible?"
Ji Yixiang understood everything at this moment. It turned out that it was Director Li who scared Li Miaomiao in this way.
"This girl is good, Ji Yixiang, if you really love her, then pursue her well, at least treat her to a meal and buy her a bouquet of flowers. How can she like you if you bully her every day?
Li Miaomiao is a smart girl. She doesn't have that "what" you young people talk about? That "whatever demon" disease.
There are a lot of people who like her, all of whom are more handsome than you, better at studying than you, and have better jobs and make more money than you, but she rejected them all. Do you think you're under a lot of competitive pressure?"
Ji Yixiang thought for a long time before he realized that Director Li was talking about Stockholm syndrome.
Ji Yixiang listened to what Director Li said, but when Li Miaomiao came to work, she ignored him completely.
Ji Yixiang felt very embarrassed. He wanted to talk to Li Miaomiao but didn't dare. So he went to Director Li for help and asked Director Li to persuade her.
Li Miaomiao was concentrating on her work when she suddenly felt someone moving her from behind. She thought it was Ji Yixiang and ignored it.
"Miaomiao?" Director Li moved her again.
Li Miaomiao turned around with a very unhappy expression on her face and almost cursed, but when she saw that it was Director Li, she took back the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
"Miaomiao, come out to dinner with me. What do you think of Xiaojun? I'll introduce him to you."
"Director, I've already told you that I don't like men. Don't introduce any random guys to me. If there are any girls out there, I might meet them if you can introduce them to me."
"Look, you're here again! How can you go against the laws of nature? How can women fall in love and get married?"
"Anyway, I just like women. Okay, Director, let's stop talking about this useless stuff. I'll go out with you for dinner. I dare to toast them now."
Director Li kept chattering away, and Li Miaomiao listened quietly. She was a little annoyed, but she couldn't say anything, so she could only let her ears become callused.
Ji Yixiang didn't have a chance to find Li Miaomiao. He just said to her when he was about to get off work: "I want to have lunch with you at noon. Can you go with me?"
Li Miaomiao was stunned. "I'm sorry, I have an appointment with Director Li today. I'm related to him, so I can't accompany you, an innocent person."
