The young lady's eyes were very beautiful, especially now, as her own face was reflected in them. Yue Lanxing felt her heart begin to beat faster, and a different feeling came from her heart.
Xu Zhaoyue felt a little uncomfortable under his focused gaze, especially the feeling of being in a subordinate position. She looked away and glanced to the side to shift her gaze, but finally decided to raise her head and speak into Yue Lanxing's ear.
"If you find out about Zhang Pei, you must come back and tell me. It would be best to find out the whole story, how Chen Yun and he met, and who the other girl is. Please be sure to provide details and tell me when you get back."
Yue Lanxing could see the young lady's curious and gossipy look as soon as she turned her head. Sure enough, everyone's attitude towards gossip was pretty much the same. Even Xuanxuan could talk about the love and hate in the class in a dramatic way.
He had always thought that the young lady wasn't interested in these things, but it seems he was wrong. "Alright, young lady, I will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly and then come back to tell you."
Xu Zhaoyue and Yue Lanxing were standing too close. Yue Lanxing deliberately lowered her voice when she spoke, afraid that it would frighten the young lady. However, lowering her voice still had a significant impact on Xu Zhaoyue.
Xu Zhaoyue watched Yue Lanxing's Adam's apple bob as he spoke, his gaze fixed on him. His slightly hoarse voice brushed past her ear, giving her a tingling sensation. Coupled with their posture, it had the feel of an office romance.
"Ahem, alright, alright, you know that's all. I don't have anything else to say, so you can go now. Oh, and call Manager Yuan in half an hour." Xu Zhaoyue kicked her legs, lifting the chair off the table and instantly widening the distance between them.
Yue Lanxing was a little puzzled as to why the young lady was acting this way all of a sudden, but when he saw her red ears, he suddenly smiled, but immediately shut his mouth again.
Xu Zhaoyue was too flustered to hear Yue Lanxing's laughter. She was still trying to hide her feelings. Yue Lanxing saw that the young lady's ears looked even more translucent red after the sunlight shone in, and felt extremely happy.
"Yes, Miss, I'll go out now." Yue Lanxing turned and left. If he stayed any longer, the young lady would probably throw a tantrum.
Yue Lanxing wasn't in much better shape. As soon as he came out, Xue Huzi pointed at his ears and asked, "Why are your ears so red? Aren't they hot inside?"
"Did the young lady criticize you?" Xue Huzi asked in a low voice, afraid that others would hear him. He tried to move closer to Yue Lanxing, but Yue Lanxing immediately pushed him away. "No need to come closer, I can hear you."
Seeing Xue Huzi's puzzled expression, Yue Lanxing coughed. "Ahem, it's nothing. Miss has something else to tell me. By the way, where did Tian Dai go?"
Xue Huzi's attention was diverted, and he stopped asking about the ears. "Oh, is that so? Someone just came over and said that an office has been prepared for the three of us. It's in the small room at the far end. We can take turns coming over to guard it, instead of all three of us standing here together."
"They said they were quite scared to see the three of us grown men standing here, and they didn't dare to come this way," Xue Huzi told Yue Lanxing about what had just happened.
Yue Lanxing nodded, "Okay, you can go ahead. Miss asked me to see Manager Yuan in half an hour. I'll keep an eye on things this morning."
Xue Huzi naturally agreed, and soon Yue Lanxing was the only one left in the corridor. Could it be that the young lady also liked him, since he was able to think things through?
He interrupted the thought as soon as it came to mind. The young lady's quick retreat clearly indicated that she felt her behavior was inappropriate. He couldn't assume that the young lady had feelings for him just because of his own selfishness.
Yue Lanxing severely criticized himself in his heart. He only needed to do what the young lady asked him to do, and he couldn't think about anything else. Thinking of this, Yue Lanxing wondered if the strange heartbeat he had just experienced was an allergic reaction. He decided to take some medicine as a precaution.
And so, Yue Lanxing prepared herself mentally, while Xu Zhaoyue, just a wall away, was still struggling with her decision.
Xu Zhaoyue clutched her pounding heart. She couldn't remember if she had ever been in love during her countless time travels, but this feeling was something she had never experienced before—a very strange sensation.
"Oh no, things are getting complicated." Xu Zhaoyue muttered to herself, "Feeling that someone is interested in you is a sign of narcissism, and feeling that you are interested in someone is the beginning of bad luck. Don't overthink it."
"We're not a good match, please don't think about it anymore." Xu Zhaoyue tilted her head back and closed her eyes, trying to calm down for a while, then a thought suddenly popped into her head, "Why aren't we a good match?"
The question immediately startled Xu Zhaoyue. "Forget it, let nature take its course." Xu Zhaoyue reopened her eyes, picked up the paper on the table, and began to write and draw. It's always good to be engrossed in one's career.
"Knock knock knock, Manager Yuan is here." Yue Lanxing went to find Manager Yuan on time. "Oh, please come in." Xu Zhaoyue stood up to greet Manager Yuan.
"What brings Manager Xu here?" Manager Yuan and Xu Zhaoyue sat down together in the reception area, but there was no tea. "Lanxing, go pour some tea, the kind I brought," Xu Zhaoyue said to Yue Lanxing, who hadn't left yet.
"Okay." Yue Lanxing left.
"Oh, work is important, so there's no need to drink water. I have some myself," Manager Yuan said politely.
Xu Zhaoyue had already sent them, so there was no reason to call them back. Besides, she couldn't just listen to what Manager Yuan said. "The people have already gone. By the way, I called you here to ask about Xu's anniversary celebration. What are your thoughts?"
