Chapter 4
Yue Qianling wouldn't think Gu Xun was gay just because of Lin Xun's words.
But because of this incident, she had a nightmare when she went to bed at night.
——I dreamed that Gu Xun and Lin Xun were together.
damn it.
Lin Xun in the dream is quite handsome!
Although I couldn't see his face clearly in the dream, I could only see his figure, broad shoulders, long legs, and a cool temperament. Just based on that, he definitely wouldn't be ugly.
Thinking of this, Yue Qianling became even angrier.
When she woke up in anger, it was only three o'clock in the morning. It was so dark outside the window that only a few street lights were lit.
After tossing and turning for several times and unable to fall asleep, Yue Qianling simply took out her cell phone to send a message to Lin Xun.
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: Hi, are you asleep?
[Glutinous Rice Mahua]: You made me so angry that I couldn’t sleep [smile]
After sending the message, she threw away her phone and forced herself to sleep.
The cold wind howled without stopping on the winter night, and the branches near the window creaked weakly.
On such a night, Yue Qianling was about to fall asleep until the sky was getting light, and she finally felt sleepy.
However, at this moment, her alarm clock started ticking beside her pillow, pulling her back from the edge of sleep.
Yue Qianling hadn't regained consciousness yet. She took out her cell phone in a daze and saw two unread messages.
【School Prince】:?
【School Prince】: What are you crazy about?
It was sent at 4:30 in the morning.
"You're crazy."
Yue Qianling muttered something to herself, did not reply, and got out of bed with sleepy eyes.
I washed my face at the sink and was about to brush my teeth. The moment I picked up the toothbrush, I suddenly realized that I was now an unemployed senior in college!
She let out a long sigh toward the balcony, then jumped back into bed.
Just then, Yin Xue also got up slowly, making some noises from time to time, which made Yue Qianling unable to fall asleep again, so she simply took out her cell phone again.
Seeing those messages from Lin Xun, Yue Qianling thought about replying and typed with a blank expression.
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: It’s nothing, just a dream.
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: I’m already angry.
She thought Lin Xun must still be sleeping at this time, so she originally planned to switch off and watch the video as soon as she got back.
I didn't expect this person to reply immediately.
【School Prince】: Did you dream about me?
Yue Qianling rubbed his hair and replied casually: Yes.
As soon as she sent out these two words, she suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately withdrew them.
But this action seemed to cause the other party to misunderstand even more.
【School Prince】:?
[School Prince]: What are you feeling guilty about?
Yue Qianling: “…”
You can't say that I dreamed of you and my sweetheart.
[Glutinous Rice Mahua]: No, I dreamed that you were with a man.
[School Prince]: So you are so angry that you can’t sleep?
【Glutinous rice twisted dough sticks】：?
【School Prince】:?
Something seems even more wrong?
Watching their conversation again, Yue Qianling couldn't tell for a moment whether his words were too ambiguous or the other party was overthinking.
No matter which one it was, if the conversation continued, Lin Xun would probably think that she was going to have an online romance with him.
[Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks]: You actually believed it.
Looking up at the time again, Yue Qianling asked: Why did you get up so early?
【School Prince】: Work.
That's pretty miserable.
Yue Qianling didn't reply to him. After being in a daze for a while, she slowly got out of bed to wash up.
There was a freezing wind outside the balcony, blowing the leaves off the trees visibly.
Yin Xue's singing voice echoed in the dormitory, and Yue Qianling also hummed along with her.
She is a person whose emotions come and go quickly.
For example, I was sad and tossing before going to sleep last night.
But when I woke up, those negative emotions had disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, she was brushing her teeth, staring at the fine snow outside the window, thinking over and over again that, first, she had not offended Gu Xun; second, she had not done anything against the law; third, and most importantly: she was so beautiful and would not embarrass him!
Therefore, there was no reason for Gu Xun to deliberately refuse to admit that he "knew" her.
Then there is only one reason.
Gu Xunzhen couldn't remember her name.
Come to think of it.
The two of them only see each other once in eight hundred years, and when they meet, they just nod at most. It is normal that they don't have a deep impression of each other.
Yes, that's the reason.
That can only be the reason.
When thinking about these things, Yue Qianling would easily become absent-minded. She would stand at the balcony vent for several minutes until she sneezed due to the wind, and then she would shiver and go into the dormitory.
Although I don’t have to work anymore, the graduation project is still a heavy burden on my head.
Painting is something that requires absolute dedication. The moment Yue Qianling picked up the paintbrush, she no longer looked at her phone.
It was not until the bell rang at noon and the dormitory building became bustling that Yue Qianling slowly came back to her senses and found several unread messages from colleagues on her mobile phone.
[Huang Jie]: Qianling, are you awake?
[Huang Jie]: You forgot your gloves at the company. Can I send them to you?
What gloves?
Do I wear gloves to work?
Yue Qianling's gaze fell on the last line of news again.
[Huang Jie]: Or you can come to the company yourself?
I went to the company specially for a pair of gloves on a snowy day...
Yue Qianling had just typed the word "no" when he suddenly paused, thought of something, deleted the word, and re-edited the message.
【Glutinous Rice Dough Sticks】: Thank you Sister Huang! I couldn't find that pair of gloves. Let me get them myself!
In the past, when Yue Qianling went to work at HC, she always had her hair in a bun, wore jeans and sneakers, and dressed herself in whatever was comfortable, making herself look like a female war correspondent.
At this moment, with her long hair draped over her shoulders and delicate makeup on, she spent ten minutes in her dormitory digging out the over-the-knee boots she hadn't worn for a whole year, and appeared on the first floor of the HC building with a breeze.
It doesn't feel like going to work, but more like going to a fashion show.
It was mid-afternoon and the office building was still busy and crowded. However, even though the sunlight poured in generously through the glass, it could not drive away the fatigue of the people coming and going.
Yue Qianling used to do the same thing, yawning, buying a cup of coffee and going upstairs to continue working.
But today, even her hair was filled with excitement.
Her already delicate and bright facial features were no longer obscured by her gray clothes. As soon as she stepped into the lobby of the office building, she attracted a lot of attention.
Yue Qianling habitually walked straight to the smart access control on the right side of the information desk, took three or two steps to the gate, took out the access control card and swiped it.
The gate didn't open, but instead made a "beeping" sound.
Yue Qianling withdrew her hand and took a look, only to find that she had swiped the access card to her school dormitory.
The access card to this building was returned yesterday when I completed my resignation procedures.
She had no choice but to go find the security guard to register her visit. When she lowered her head to put the access card back into her bag, someone passed by her.
As if sensing something, Yue Qianling turned around and saw a hand pressing on the sensor.
At the same time, there was a "beep" sound, the gate opened, and Yue Qianling's gaze fell on Gu Xun's face.
The lights in the hall cast a layer of light golden light on his outline, so that Yue Qianling was a little dazed for a moment and almost thought he had seen it wrong.
However, Gu Xun did not notice Yue Qianling standing beside him.
After the gate opened, he walked straight into the elevator and disappeared from Yue Qianling's sight in a moment.
Without time to think about anything else, Yue Qianling immediately turned and walked to the information desk. After hastily registering her information, the security guard helped her swipe open the door and she immediately walked towards the elevator.
Although it was afternoon, the office building was still bustling with people.
There were six elevators on both sides. Yue Qianling strode over and took a quick look. He saw Gu Xun in the elevator that was about to close.
Gu Xun seemed to be looking outside as well. Their eyes met for a moment, and then he suddenly raised his hand to block the elevator door.
Yue Qianling stood there in a daze for a moment. As her breathing slowed down, a feeling of joy suddenly spread from her heart to her whole body inexplicably in less than a second.
She immediately trotted into the elevator and stood in front of him. Her breathing had not yet calmed down, but the ripples in her heart were already surging like the sea.
Yue Qianling lowered her head and didn't look at him, afraid that he would find out that she couldn't take her eyes off him. She could only purse her lips and whispered, "Thank you."
Not hearing his response, Yue Qianling was afraid that he didn't hear her, so she raised her voice a little: "Thank you..."
She only glanced at him quietly and then immediately looked away, hesitating whether to say the following words or not, wondering if it would seem pretentious.
However, there were not many opportunities for the two of them to talk to each other, and she didn't want to miss it.
Then, Yue Qianling's gentle voice was heard in the elevator.
"But next time, don't block the elevator with your hands."
“It’s quite dangerous.”
"I'm not in a hurry. I can just wait for the next trip."
Gu Xun still didn't respond, but just raised his eyebrows and glanced at Yue Qianling's face with a slightly puzzled look.
Then he responded with an almost inaudible nasal sound.
The sound was so soft that Yue Qianling couldn't tell whether it was "hmm" or "hum". She just felt that his response was inexplicably arrogant.
I looked away, but saw that his hand was still blocking the elevator door.
She finally sensed something was wrong, and then looked over following Gu Xun's gaze.
A middle-aged man with a work badge trotted in, strode into the elevator, and stood in front of Yue Qianling.
He panted and patted Gu Xun on the shoulder: "Thank you, I almost missed it, I have to wait for the next one."
Yue Qianling: “…”
oh.
It turned out that the elevator was not blocked for her.
After a moment, Gu Xun replied lazily: "You're welcome."
She didn’t know if it was an illusion, but Yue Qianling felt that Gu Xun glanced at her when he said these three words, so his tone was a little sarcastic.
The elevator door slowly closed under Yue Qianling's stiff gaze.
In a corner where no one was paying attention, she quietly took two steps, even her breathing tightened.
Help.
Help! ! !
There weren't a lot of people in the elevator at the moment. Five or six people were standing around Yue Qianling, magnifying her embarrassment infinitely in this confined space.
She didn't try to say another word to Gu Xun, nor did she dare to look at him again. She even wanted to go to jail.
But because she was so nervous and was concentrating on trying to observe with the back of her head whether Gu Xun was laughing at her, she heard every word of the conversation between the man behind her and Gu Xun.
"Our department is having a dinner with your department tonight. You should come. It's a welcome dinner."
"Um."
The conversation ended there and the elevator reached her desired floor.
Yue Qianling let out a light breath and raised her eyes quietly. The shiny elevator door in front of her suddenly reflected Gu Xun's passing glance. Frightened, Yue Qianling quickly walked out without looking back.
At this time, only Gu Xun and the middle-aged man were left in the elevator.
In fact, he was just a middle-aged man in Yue Qianling's eyes. The reason for this judgment was that his hair was almost gray and he looked very weathered.
As long as he doesn't say it, no one will know that he is only twenty-seven years old.
"Hey." He poked Gu Xun with his elbow, "Do you know the girl who just got off the elevator?"
Before the elevator door was completely closed, Gu Xun caught a glimpse of Yue Qianling's stiff back as she left. He raised his eyelids and asked, "What's wrong?"
The man's name is Yi Hong. Although he has only been working in the Ninth Business Unit for a year, he has known Gu Xun for four years.
He felt that as a senior, he had an obligation to educate the newcomers about everything about the company.
"The original artist from the mobile game division."
Yi Hong gave her a thumbs up. "Pretty, right? Before you came, she was the only recognized face of our company."
"It is said that she is also a fresh graduate. When she first came, our company was a sensation. Many developers put snacks on her desk all day long. Later, their department moved to an independent office, and she was rarely seen."
"She has over 100,000 followers on Weibo, but she seems to have discovered that a colleague had accessed her Weibo account, so she stopped updating it. These people are really... "
"I heard that she has always wanted to join our division, but she works on otome games. You know, the gap is too big. I don't know if there is any hope..."
Yi Hong was talking incessantly when he suddenly heard a faint cough.
His voice stopped abruptly and he slowly raised his eyes to see Gu Xun leaning against the elevator wall with his head tilted and his eyes slightly closed, as if he was about to fall asleep in the next second.
This was a cognitive shock to Yi Hong.
"You actually—" He stared at Gu Xun in disbelief and asked word by word, "Are you tired of listening?!"
