Yan Dan was very sensible.
Like everyone else present, he noticed the clasped hands between Pei Wu and Jin Wei; anyone with eyes could see the relationship between the two.
'So...she already has someone in her life.'
They were also lost among the many staff members present.
He awkwardly licked the corner of his lips, just as his phone vibrated in his pocket.
The call came from the hospital, which snapped him out of his daze.
"Is there something you need from me?"
His gaze happened to meet Pei Wu's. He nodded politely and said, "I originally wanted to continue discussing that topic with you from last time, but... I'm sorry, I seem to have been abrupt and caused you trouble." Yan Dan glanced at Jin Wei as he said this. "However, I have to go back to the hospital now. When everyone is free sometime, I'll treat you to a meal as my... apology."
After speaking, Yan Dan hurriedly started to leave.
Pei Wu was completely bewildered by Yan Dan's sudden visit, but she held Jin Wei's hand tightly and never let go.
Pei Wu and Yan Dan had only met once before, during their blind date.
Because Pei Wu's numerous blind dates had yielded no results, her father, Pei Wu, continued to search for more suitable blind date partners for his daughter.
Yan Dan's experience was similar to Pei Wu's; highly intelligent people also had a lot in common, such as that blind date.
This was arguably the best conversation Pei Wu had ever had. Neither of them were particularly eloquent, and the opportunity to start a conversation stemmed from a research project that Yan Dan had once been in charge of.
Although we didn't add each other on WeChat, we exchanged business cards and our text message exchanges revolved around that topic.
Pei Wu, earnestly explaining her professional knowledge, seemed to possess a captivating charm, both to Jin Wei and Yan Dan...
However, this time he acted recklessly, which was unusual for him.
He was sensible enough to retract the step he had so painstakingly taken at the right time.
The employees present were shocked to see Pei Wu and Jin Wei holding hands.
"You...come with me."
Pei Wu took Jin Wei's hand and walked towards her research lab.
“...”
Although Jin Wei didn't say anything, he obediently followed Pei Wu's steps.
Soon, Pei Wu led Jin Wei to her research room, and with a 'bang', Pei Wu closed the research room door.
There were only the two of them in the dimly lit room.
Pei Wu's research lab was large, filled with various machines and equipment. The dimly lit room was eerily quiet, save for the humming of the machines. Only now, with just the two of them, did Jin Wei, in a petulant manner, pull away from Pei Wu's hand, turning his head away from her. His eyes were still red, and his Adam's apple bobbed incessantly.
Pei Wu noticed all his subtle movements... every little gesture clearly told Pei Wu... 'He's wronged'.
But he didn't say a word.
"My phone was on silent, I didn't mean to miss your call." Pei Wu lowered her voice even further, making it sound gentler.
Pei Wu cupped Jin Wei's cheeks, straightened his head, and brought him into eye contact with her. As she spoke, she lightly pecked Jin Wei's lips. "Why are you acting like a child again..." Pei Wu laughed as she spoke. "I told you I'd be quite busy lately, and I also told you before the meeting."
Pei Wu's gentle words were like a layer of sweet icing, seeping into Jin Wei's heart.
My heart, which was just a little sore, is now slowly...
He slightly raised his chin, half-closed his eyes, and asked Pei Wu in a sarcastic tone, "Your little apprentice... won't suddenly appear out of nowhere, like your blind date suddenly showing up at your company?"
"..." Pei Wu raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing Jin Wei's words. "You really did... know he was mine..."
Pei Wu didn't say the whole phrase "blind date".
Pei Wu's smile deepened. "I don't know why he came back today. We chatted a bit during our blind date, but haven't seen each other since... Besides, that blind date was before the game. Back then, my family was pressuring me a lot. My parents promised me that as long as I found a suitable person to marry, they wouldn't interfere with my work anymore. They seem to think that marriage and having children are major life events... And, I am indeed of marriageable age... so..."
Pei Wu spoke sincerely.
