Chapter 16
Yue Qianling felt that Gu Xun was quite capable.
With just one sentence, he transferred all the embarrassment to others and kept himself out of trouble.
If the person involved is not herself.
At this moment, the most effective way to deal with embarrassment is to escape.
The boy obviously had no idea what was going on. He only knew that he might have made a big mistake. He touched the back of his head awkwardly and turned away.
Once the instigator left, Yue Qianling was left to clean up the mess.
But she could not think of any other solution except to put on a smile.
"So you didn't lose your school card. That's great."
Yue Qianling took a step back calmly, smiling, "Then... Happy New Year."
After saying this, she turned around calmly.
Only after he turned a corner and made sure that he was no longer in Gu Xun and the others' sight did he start jogging.
Back at the restaurant, she was panting, with drooping eyebrows, as if she had just experienced a life-and-death crisis.
Without saying a word, Yin Xue knew that things would definitely not develop as she expected.
But why this expression?
"What's wrong? Didn't you get WeChat?"
"Don't mention it!"
Yue Qianling covered her face and refused to answer Yin Xue's question.
After spending several years together, she should have known that Yin Xue, a virgin solo, was extremely unreliable in this regard. One of them dared to teach, and the other dared to listen.
Now, not only did I not get the WeChat ID, but I was also embarrassed.
After a while, Yue Qianling calmed down, raised her head and continued eating, but she refused to tell Yin Xue what had happened.
It was not until they returned to the dormitory that she mustered up the courage to tell Yin Xue everything that had just happened.
But Yin Xue, the military strategist, not only did not reflect on himself, he also had no sympathy at all. He laughed so hard that the dormitory manager came to ask them whether they violated the rules by using a kettle to boil water.
New Year's Day ended in such an unhappy way.
The short vacation ended, and on the morning of the 4th, Yue Qianling went to work as usual.
Because she remembered she forgot to bring her cell phone when she reached the school gate, Yue Qianling went back to get it, which delayed her for more than 20 minutes, so she arrived at the company a little later than usual.
Almost all the team members had arrived, and everything looked no different from usual. But when Yue Qianling sat down, she felt something was wrong.
She looked around at her colleagues. No one spoke, but there were always some eyes on her.
So Yue Qianling turned on the computer, logged into WeChat, and found Huang Jie's chat box.
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: What happened?
Huang Jie, who was sitting opposite, glanced at Yue Qianling and typed with a smile on her face.
[Huang Jie]: That’s right, didn’t you notice that one person is missing?
Yue Qianling glanced around again and suddenly opened his eyes wide.
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: Could it be that Yin Qin was fired? ? ?
[Huang Jie]: Not really. What happened to her in the elevator last week has spread all over the company. She probably knows that she is the center of attention, so she hasn’t come yet.
[Huang Jie]: If the current market conditions weren’t so bad, I think she would have resigned.
[Huang Jie]: If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to stay here.
As soon as Huang Jie's message popped up, Yue Qianling heard footsteps behind her.
When I turned around, Yin Qin was indeed late.
She looked the same as usual, but if you looked closely at her face, she was indeed a little haggard.
It seems that this New Year's Day holiday was not very pleasant.
However, what Yin Qin was best at was pretending that nothing had happened. She put down her bag and still greeted everyone with a smile, but she just skipped Yue Qianling.
Yue Qianling didn't care about these things. She would love not to have to deal with Yin Qin.
I still feel a little depressed when I think about working with someone who has some grudges against me in the future.
She even thought that if time could go back, she would like to be invisible and not be involved in these inexplicable storms, so that her life could be more comfortable.
But it seemed that God did not fulfill her wish.
At the regular meeting at 11 o'clock, the chief artist seemed normal and everything was as usual, but when assigning tasks, Yin Qin was obviously marginalized.
As a nominal team leader, he was actually drawing the scenes in the corners. Even if Yin Qin was a good pretender, she felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
Everyone present knew that Zhu Mei's behavior was more or less the boss's intention.
Yin Qin couldn't blame the boss or the main artist, so she could only look at Yue Qianling in dissatisfaction.
Just as Yue Qianling looked up, she caught this gaze, and Yin Qin looked away in a slightly flustered manner.
Yue Qianling sighed silently, knowing that the feud was probably over.
In fact, Yue Qianling never understood why Yin Qin didn't like her. Looking back on her internship, she didn't think she had done anything wrong.
Although she is not very enthusiastic at ordinary times and likes to be a bit lazy after get off work, she has never delayed her work and has never caused trouble for others.
After thinking about it, it can only be because - she is too beautiful?
After the regular meeting, everyone left the meeting room one after another and went to get takeout.
In the elevator, Huang Jie was browsing the ticketing app and asked, "It's almost holiday time, have you bought your ticket?"
"No rush, I can just take the high-speed rail."
Speaking of this, Yue Qianling suddenly took out her cell phone and wanted to tell her mother about going home.
As soon as I opened WeChat, I saw an unread message.
[Tang Xin]: Qianling, when will you go home?
Yue Qianling scratched his head and typed a few words reluctantly.
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: Not confirmed yet.
[Tang Xin]: If you are sure, please tell me and I will pick you up at the high-speed rail station.
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: Don’t bother, my dad will come to pick me up.
[Tang Xin]: It’s okay, no trouble. I have an early holiday anyway, so I don’t have anything to do at home.
Now that things have come to this, Yue Qianling doesn't know how to refuse.
This Tang Xin was a neighbor who moved upstairs from her house two years ago. The two families had a good relationship, and the parents often made plans to play together.
As for Tang Xin himself, Yue Qianling had no opinion about him, she just felt that... he liked her.
He is one year older than Yue Qianling and is studying for a master's degree in another city, so he can only chat with Yue Qianling on WeChat.
Yue Qianling had no problem dealing with this, but during the winter and summer vacations, he was always extra enthusiastic and would always look for opportunities to ask Yue Qianling out to play.
The two families saw each other every day, and their parents got along well, so Yue Qianling had no choice but to refuse every time.
Moreover, he never made his intention clear, so Yue Qianling had no way of accurately defeating him and could only practice Tai Chi with him.
She had expressed this several times in private, but Tang Xin seemed not to understand.
After a long time, I really feel a bit tired.
After getting the takeaway and returning to her workstation, Yue Qianling was in no mood to eat. She stared at Tang Xin's chat box, repeatedly considering her words, but still couldn't think of a perfect reason to refuse.
As a neighbor, they are kind enough to pick you up. You can't just ignore this kindness, right?
But if she accepted too many of these small favors, Yue Qianling would not have the confidence to refuse him if he really confessed his feelings to her in the future.
Yue Qianling sighed several times and wanted to find someone to discuss this issue.
Swipe down the chat box and you will see their gaming group.
Men understand other men best, so maybe they have some good ideas.
Yue Qianling thought for a moment and began typing.
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: Let me ask you something.
[Camel]: You said, I was waiting for takeout.
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: How can I stop a boy from having improper thoughts about me without him confessing his feelings for me?
【camel】:?
【wheat】:?
【School Prince】:?
[Xiaomi]: How can you be sure that the other person likes you before they even confess their feelings?
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: I am sure about it!
[Xiaomi]: What if you misunderstood?
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: How could there be a misunderstanding?
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: He often comes to chat with me and asks about my well-being even more diligently than my parents. Every time I go home during the holidays, he always asks me out to play, and he will bring me back any delicious food. Oh, and he always gives me gifts during the holidays.
[Camel]: Okay, then I really like you.
[Camel]: You understand what a hint is, for example, if I ask you to go out and you refuse several times.
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: We are all neighbors and have a good relationship with my parents. It’s not good to always refuse them. We will have to get along with them in the future.
[Xiaomi]: Just say it straight. I think many men don’t understand hints.
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: How can I say this directly? It's so embarrassing. I can't see it when I look up, but I can see it when I look down.
【Wheat】：emmmm
【Xiaomi】: scratching head.jpg
[Camel]: This is a difficult situation.
It seems that these men have no other options.
We'll have to wait and see.
Yue Qianling sighed again, opened the takeaway and prepared to eat.
At this time, another message popped up in the group.
【School Prince】: This is not difficult.
【Glutinous rice twisted dough sticks】：?
[School Prince]: Next time he asks you out, just say you want to accompany your boyfriend.
[School Prince]: How could he not understand this?
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: But where can I find a boyfriend to put in front of him?
[School Prince]: Not possible in different places?
[School Prince]: Can’t I play games with my boyfriend?
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: This seems to make some sense.
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: What if he doesn’t believe it?
【School Prince】: If you don’t believe it.
[School Prince]: I can reluctantly play the role of your boyfriend and call you.
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: There’s something special!
Camel: [Smile]
[Wheat]: [smile]
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: What’s wrong? Do you think it’s not okay?
[Camel]: No, I think it’s great [thumbs up]
[Camel]: Someone is so smart [thumbs up]
[Xiaomi]: This is great! How come I can't think of such a good idea? [Thumbs up]
[Xiaomi]: It really kills two birds with one stone [thumbs-up]
[School Prince]: Is there something wrong with you two?
Camel: No
[Xiaomi]: No, very good.
[Glutinous Rice Mahua]: Hehe, next time he asks me out, I’ll say this.
After a while, Yue Qianling thought of another level.
[Glutinous Rice Mahua]: What if my parents find out?
[School Prince]: Wouldn’t it be bad if it was exposed?
[School Prince]: If you still don’t understand why you are rejecting me, then you are an idiot?
【Glutinous rice fried dough twist】: [Thumbs up]
[School Prince]: Any other questions?
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: No more!
【School Prince】: Go online at night.
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: Okay!
After resolving this issue, Yue Qianling felt much better. While eating, she was thinking that if Tang Xin asked her out again after returning home, she would immediately find a boyfriend.
Once and for all.
In the blink of an eye, it was time to get off work.
As the Spring Festival approaches, everyone's hearts have flown to the holidays, and when leaving, they are chatting in groups of two or three about how to plan their New Year vacation.
Yue Qianling stood at the elevator entrance, rehearsing in her mind how to lie to Tang Xin that she had a boyfriend.
She was so excited to get rid of such a big problem that she was so absorbed in thinking about it that she suddenly came back to her senses when the elevator door in front of her opened.
When I looked up, I saw Gu Xun standing in the elevator.
Yue Qianling's eyes suddenly lit up.
But the next second, thinking of what happened a few days ago, the feeling of shame instantly overwhelmed all emotions, causing Yue Qianling to not dare to look directly at Gu Xun, and silently lowered her head and walked in.
Turning around with her back to Gu Xun, she recalled the scene with the school card and even her breathing became cautious.
The elevator slowly descended.
In the quiet and narrow space, she heard a girl say, "Gu Xun, do you have any plans for the New Year?"
Men understand men, and likewise, women understand women.
Just from this one sentence, Yue Qianling could sense what the speaker was thinking.
She immediately held her breath, clenched her fists, and forced herself not to look back.
Then, Gu Xun's voice sounded.
"how?"
The girl said in a generous tone: "Do you want to go to Yunnan? It's rare to have such a long vacation. We are forming a team. It will be more fun with more people."
“……!”
hateful!
Yue Qianling gritted her teeth, but still couldn't help but look back secretly.
After taking a quick glance at the girl who was speaking, she immediately looked away.
Not good.
That girl is so beautiful.
He is also a 3D modeler in the Ninth Business Unit, and we work together day and night.
Countless bad premonitions flashed through Yue Qianling's mind. She almost held her breath, nervously waiting for Gu Xun's answer.
At the same time, Gu Xun lowered his eyes and glanced at Yue Qianling's back.
She was motionless, her ears were a little red, her shoulders were stiff, and her fingers were tightly clenched in her sleeves.
Looks nervous.
“…”
Gu Xun retracted his gaze and said calmly: "No."
Hearing these two words, Yue Qianling breathed a sigh of relief.
However, before this breath had completely died down, Gu Xun's voice came again.
"I want to spend the New Year with my girlfriend."
“…”
In a flash, Yue Qianling felt a black screen before his eyes.
With less than two weeks to go before winter vacation, the school has already started making preparations for the New Year.
The trees on both sides of the boulevard are hung with red lanterns, and the green belts are also decorated with lights. At night, the atmosphere looks particularly festive.
Yue Qianling walked around the playground again and again like a wandering ghost.
People who were jogging at night left one after another, and before they knew it, Yue Qianling became the only person on the playground.
The cold wind was blowing fiercely, causing Yue Qianling's cheeks to sting.
Her chest felt like it was being pressed down by a huge rock. Even though they were outdoors, she couldn't breathe.
My eyes were sore several times, but I couldn't cry, and I couldn't find a reasonable outlet.
After all, she didn't even have the right position to cry.
She should have known.
How could a guy like Gu Xun not have a girlfriend?
She has never said that she is single. All the expectations were created by herself, so she can only bear the discomfort at this moment by herself.
But when she thought about how he was usually so cold, but could be so affectionate towards another girl, Yue Qianling felt so uncomfortable that she choked up several times.
Her first love was extinguished just as it was budding.
But that person never knew her feelings.
The night running lights in the playground were also turned off, leaving only a few distant street lamps emitting faint star-like lights.
Yue Qianling sat on the steps, trying to let the cold wind wake her up.
At this time, the phone vibrated again.
She thought it was Yin Xue looking for her, so she quickly took it out.
But it was a call from Lin Xun.
Yue Qianling didn't want to answer the call at first, but her fingers were a little stiff from the cold, so she pressed the answer button and had to put the phone to her ear.
"What time is it? Why aren't you home yet?"
Yue Qianling didn't want to talk and just said "hmm" in a depressed tone.
"Just be alive."
He said casually, "You'll have ten minutes to get ready to go online."
Yue Qianling is not in the mood to play games now.
"No."
Perhaps sensing Yue Qianling's emotions, the person on the other end of the phone suddenly softened his voice.
"What's wrong?"
What's wrong?
I'm heartbroken.
And as soon as she heard him speak, Yue Qianling thought of the idea he had proposed this afternoon.
Unexpectedly, before she could use it on Tang Xin, the evil power came back to her.
How ironic.
As a result, Yue Qianling was not happy with Lin Xun either.
She kicked away the small stones at her feet and spoke in a dull voice.
"You are so unlucky."
"?"
