Chapter 33 It's so embarrassing

Hearing this, Xu Si put down his chopsticks, looking disappointed, "Of course you can't bring up this kind of thing yourself, right?"

"You need to attract him, guide him, and stimulate him at the right time."

Jian Yao blinked, not quite understanding.

Just when I was about to ask Xu Si to elaborate in detail, a message suddenly popped up on my phone.

It was the protagonist they were talking about, Gu Zhiyan.

Jian Yao's heart skipped a beat.

How can it be such a coincidence?

She and Xu Si were talking about him when the news came.

She looked around to make sure there were no other diners around, then she suppressed her nervousness and clicked on the message.

Gu Zhiyan: "Are you off work? You didn't drive today, shall I pick you up?"

Jian Yao scanned the time on her phone. It was twelve o'clock.

He must have sent me a message to ask as soon as he got off work.

Although she knew that Gu Zhiyan might have asked this out of politeness and that she shouldn't be so self-indulgent, Jian Yao still couldn't help but be moved by his thoughtfulness.

Jian Yao curled her lips and tapped her phone to reply, "The matter with Lu has been resolved. I'm having dinner with Xu Si now. She will take me home later."

After sending the message, she held her phone and waited for Gu Zhiyan's message.

On the other side, Xu Si picked up a piece of shrimp and put it into Jian Yao's bowl, smiling meaningfully, "Whose news is this? You're almost smiling from ear to ear."

Is there?

Jian Yao subconsciously touched the corner of her mouth, and then heard Xu Si laughing loudly on the opposite side. She immediately realized that Xu Si was setting a trap for her.

The phone in my hand vibrated, and a new message came in.

Jian Yao glared at Xu Si viciously and looked down at his phone.

Gu Zhiyan: "Okay, then I wish you guys have fun, and send me a message to let me know you're safe when you get home."

Jian Yao stared at this sentence for a few seconds, replied with an emoticon of a nodding cat, but did not exit the chat interface immediately.

She stared at the two messages sent by Gu Zhiyan for a long time, and whispered softly, "It turns out that not all men are iron-clad straight men?"

Even someone like Gu Zhiyan could notice whether she drove and whether it would be inconvenient for her to go home, and would take the initiative to ask.

Knowing that she is playing with her best friend, I will remind her to report back home when she is safe.

Jian Yao pursed her lips. What about the days and nights when she drove to the hospital alone to get an IV drip when she was sick, and was left on the roadside by Lu Chengze in the middle of the night to take a taxi back?

Is she blind?

Jian Yao recalled how Secretary Li had subtly reminded her several times to see an ophthalmologist... Was this what he meant?

Jian Yao: …

Although Jian Yao became an unemployed vagrant, Xu Si still had the entire company to manage, and it was already the limit for him to take time off from work to accompany her for a whole morning.

So, after sending Jian Yao home after dinner, I went back to work as a slave in the company.

Jian Yao returned home, changed her shoes, took out her cell phone and sent a message to Gu Zhiyan.

She took a photo of the cactus she raised and sent it over with the caption, "Home!"

After sending it, she put her phone on the counter, watched the movements on her phone from the corner of her eye, and took out a bottle of AD calcium milk from the refrigerator and inserted a straw.

The cell phone buzzed twice, and Jian Yao picked up the phone while sipping milk.

Gu Zhiyan: "It's good to be home."

Gu Zhiyan quoted the picture: "Do you like cactus?"

Jian Yao bit the straw, feeling a little embarrassed.

Jian Yao: "It's not that I like it, it's that I only raise living cacti."

She tried many green plants, and even those that are considered easy to grow, such as green radish and water hyacinth, were killed by her. Only the cactus survived.

After saying this, Jian Yao regretted it for a moment.

She had once killed the green plants in Lu Chengze's office, and after that he ordered her not to touch the green plants in his room.

I don’t know whether Gu Zhiyan will dislike her.

She shouldn't have mentioned that.

Gu Zhiyan: "Is it really that powerful?"

Gu Zhiyan: "I suddenly want to hire you to work for a rival company. You don't have to do anything else, just kill all their money trees."

Jian Yao: …

Thank you!

Gu Zhiyan: "Just kidding."

Gu Zhiyan: "It's enough to have a living flower that one person can raise at home."

Jian Yao:?

Is that what she meant?

She couldn't feel the tone of voice through the phone screen, only the cold text, and she wasn't sure if she was overthinking it.

Jian Yao threw the empty milk bottle into the trash can and held her phone in her hand, thinking about how she should respond.

Gu Zhiyan, however, has already changed the subject.

Gu Zhiyan: "Do you have time in the next few days?"

Jian Yao looked at the message he sent. The combination of the two messages really made people think too much.

Ask yourself if you have time, do you want to ask her out?

Jian Yao clenched the phone in her hand and hesitated to send a few words.

"There is time."

After she sent the message, she stared at the screen intently, waiting for Gu Zhiyan's reply, feeling nervous.

Doesn't he like men? What does it mean to send her these messages?

You don't really want her to be a lesbian wife, do you?

Jian Yao's eyes widened.

What if he really asks me out? How can I refuse politely without offending him?

While Jian Yao was lost in thought, news about Gu Zhiyan had already arrived.

Gu Zhiyan: "Do you still remember the game activity I told you about after we got the marriage certificate? Today is the first day."

Gu Zhiyan: "If you have time, we can start tonight. If you don't have time, it doesn't matter if we start two days later."

When Jian Yao read the news sent by Gu Zhiyan, she felt as if she was on fire.

She must have been driven crazy by Lu Chengze recently. What is she thinking about every day?

She actually thought Gu Zhiyan wanted to date her?

How embarrassing!

Fortunately, it happened in her own home and no one else saw it, otherwise she would have wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Jian Yao turned on the air conditioner and felt the cool air coming from it. The heat on her face finally subsided a little. She stood in front of the air conditioner and replied to messages on her mobile phone.

Jian Yao: "If you have time, you can start tonight. Do you need to prepare anything?"

She really doesn't know much about games.

The only contact was when I was in school.

At that time, there was a very popular shooting game, and Lu Chengze and Wu Yue would team up to play the game after class.

In order to fit in with them, she tried to download and play with them, but she died as soon as she landed, and Wu Yue complained about her for a long time.

Then she uninstalled it and never touched it again.

Jian Yao's fingers were unconsciously holding the phone. She remembered that Gu Zhiyan became a professional e-sports player because of this game.

At that time, all she knew about Gu Zhiyan came from campus forums, confession walls, and word of mouth from classmates.

Probably, he was matched with a well-known anchor when playing games, and because his operation was too good, he was suspected of cheating, and he even recorded the screen and posted it online.

The final cheating incident ended with Gu Zhiyan arrogantly making a statement on live broadcast, asking all those who suspected him of cheating to send him a private message and invite them to check into a room for a PK.

He single-handedly beat up a group of game anchors and became famous overnight.

Because there were many anchors involved in this incident and it caused a huge uproar at the time, it was discovered and dug up by the club.
