Upon hearing this, Yu Wan, who had originally intended to make a sarcastic remark to Tang Yue, suddenly froze on her face.
He ordered takeout to thank her!
And everything she did was an insult to him!
[Sigh, the difference between people is so vast! Host, you should learn more from Comrade Tang Yue.]
"..."
Yu Wan glanced at the cup of hot milk on the table again, and her heart trembled violently.
"You're broke, why are you buying me milk?" She was seething with anger, but didn't know how to vent it. Finally, she frowned and scoffed, "Are you out of your mind?"
Tang Yue smiled, staring intently into her eyes with a sincere expression: "I'm sorry, is a glass of milk too cheap? When I earn money, I'll definitely buy you something better."
Meng Shen's eyes widened slightly, as if he had discovered some earth-shattering secret, and his heart pounded a little. Good heavens, was he overthinking things? Why did that sentence sound so ambiguous?
Yu Wan was taken aback, then somewhat deflated: "That's not what I meant, I..."
"Are you worried about me?" Tang Yue raised an eyebrow, a smile appearing in his eyes.
Yu Wan awkwardly pursed her lips: "Heh... I'm worried that you'll waste money on part-time jobs, making people think that I, as your employer, don't have money to pay wages, which will embarrass me."
The ward fell silent for a moment.
In the ensuing silence, Yu Wan gradually felt a surge of frustration and was about to explain.
Tang Yue hummed in agreement: "I understand. Don't worry, I'm a very principled person. Since you're willing to hire me, I definitely won't do anything to embarrass you."
Yu Wan unconsciously moved her lips, but said nothing, her fingers clenching slightly into a fist.
Watching everything unfold silently from a corner, Meng Shen suddenly realized that her best friend was really in trouble this time; Tang Yue had her completely under his thumb. However, since she had a crush on him, she was probably secretly quite happy right now.
"I'm going to handle the discharge procedures." As a good friend, it's about contributing to her happiness at the right time and creating opportunities for her.
Yu Wan turned around and saw Meng Shen winking and giving her a thumbs-up before slamming the door shut in a cheeky manner.
"..." What a professional teammate sabotage!
There were only two people left in the ward. They hadn't felt anything a moment ago, but now there was an inexplicable awkwardness and ambiguity flowing between them.
Yu Wan took an uneasy half-step back, instinctively wanting to escape.
"Cough cough..." Tang Yue suddenly coughed violently, his face turning red. Perhaps because he was in pain, his handsome brows were furrowed together.
A wave of guilt washed over Yu Wan. She filled a glass with warm water from the water dispenser, handed it to him, and said sternly, "Drink it."
She deliberately turned her face away from him, but inadvertently exposed the tips of her reddened ears.
Tang Yue paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud: "Thank you." As he took the water glass, his fingers intentionally or unintentionally brushed against the back of her hand.
Yu Wan recoiled as if electrocuted, glaring at him. She saw him quietly drinking water, his eyelashes lowered, and suddenly realized she had overreacted. Perhaps it really was an accident.
-
The car drove towards the Sixth Ring Road, gradually moving away from the bustling area, where skyscrapers were replaced by rows of tenement buildings and resettlement housing. The road became increasingly remote until it stopped at the entrance of a noisy yet dirty alley.
After getting off the bus, Yu Wan looked around and froze. The visual impact was far more intense and direct than any picture. Had Tang Yue been staying here all this time?
For the first time, I felt ashamed of my so-called success!
Although she defeated her arch-rival Tang Yue, he was left heavily in debt, which was definitely not her intention. She simply wanted to teach him a lesson and vent her anger!
Tang Yue remained silent for a moment, looking at her apologetic expression, and suddenly realized that he had really gone too far. "I'm sorry, I..."
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to turn out this way."
They both spoke at the same time, but Yu Wan spoke a little faster. She stared at the ground, her fingers clenched tightly.
Despite his seemingly arrogant exterior, Yu Wan is more tender and vulnerable than anyone else inside.
Tang Yue was slightly taken aback, and genuinely regretted it. He had only wanted to tease her a little, but he hadn't expected it to make her so upset. His heart ached, a dull pain shooting through it.
"Sigh..." A very faint sigh dissipated from his mouth.
He raised his hand and gently patted her head. "I should be the one apologizing. I shouldn't have let you see this side of me. Wait for me in the car. I'll go get something and be right back, okay?"
His voice was deep and magnetic, with a hint of inquiry at the end, which instantly carried a touch of doting.
Yu Wan's thoughts froze for a few seconds, and the other person's tall and elegant figure had already stepped into the depths of the alley. She was still in a daze for a long time.
"What the hell is going on?" Meng Shen took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, trying to dispel the frustration in his chest.
Yu Wan nodded with mixed feelings, muttering to herself, "Wasn't he very capable? Who knew Tang's would really go bankrupt? I thought he could at most cause some trouble."
But the situation was worse than she had imagined; it was absolutely terrible!
Tang Yue returned quickly, carrying only a backpack.
Yu Wan glanced at it a few more times, then frowned deeply, pretending not to care, and started playing a mobile game. Several misplays dragged down her teammates, causing her to lose points rapidly and get kicked out of the team, leaving her with a tense atmosphere.
Tang Yue glanced at her every now and then, and seeing that she had no intention of talking, he wisely kept quiet. Plus, his head was still a little dizzy, so he leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes to rest.
