Bai Xinze's gentle face was now devoid of any tenderness. He said in a low voice, "Rui Rui, are you still angry with me?"
Zhou Rui felt like a million curses were running through his mind. "Brother, who are you?!"
It shouldn't be Zhou Rui's ex-lover, right? What should I do now? I told He Muchen that I don't know Bai Xinze. If He Muchen finds out, will he be angry and ignore me, or even fire me?
What to do, what to do...
Zhou Rui took a deep breath, trying to calm down, and asked Bai Xinze with a smile, "What's our relationship? I injured my head a few days ago and can't quite remember what happened before."
Zhou Rui opened his mouth and started rambling incoherently. He didn't know how to ease the awkward situation, so he could only imitate the melodramatic plots from TV dramas he had watched before.
"Rui Rui, did you hurt your head the other day?" Li Tiantian looked at his head with concern.
Zhou Rui replied awkwardly and guiltily, "Um, it's a minor injury, nothing serious."
“Rui Rui, why didn’t you tell me you hurt your head? I will definitely make time to see you, no matter how busy I am.”
Bai Xinze looked at Zhou Rui with a wronged expression, as if to say, "Zhou Rui, I didn't mean to not look at you."
Zhou Rui panicked even more now. Could it be that they had something going on? Please, no! My heart isn't strong enough.
Zhou Rui stammered, "No...we're not that close, are we?"
“Well, since you don’t remember me, let’s pretend we just met, okay, Rui Rui?” Bai Xinze said gently.
"No, what exactly was our relationship before, Bai Xinze?"
Bai Xinze laughed out loud: "Rui Rui, look how scared you are, you don't look well at all. I was just kidding you. We were high school classmates."
Zhou Rui breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the word "high school classmate," and his expression softened. He was terrified; he had thought he wasn't a virgin. Now he hadn't let He Muchen down.
Standing to the side, Li Tiantian also breathed a sigh of relief. He had thought that Bai Xinze and Zhou Rui had some other kind of relationship.
Fortunately, they were just high school classmates. But Zhou Rui is really something, how could he forget such a handsome classmate when he had a head injury?
Bai Xinze took out his phone, tapped Zhou Rui's screen, and sent him an emoji.
Zhou Rui's phone rang, and sure enough, Bai Xinze's contact information was on it. He was doomed. He Muchen would definitely be angry if he found out. How could he make He Muchen happy?
Li Tiantian, standing to the side, felt embarrassed for Zhou Rui. It was really awkward to pretend not to know someone you knew.
Bai Xinze smiled and gently patted Zhou Rui's shoulder: "Old classmate, I hope you'll take good care of me at the company in the future."
"Rui Rui, I'm leaving now. I'll come find you later."
"You absolutely mustn't go back on your promises to me like you did before!"
"Please keep a close eye on him for me, Miss Tiantian, and don't let him escape," Bai Xinze said with a gentle smile to Li Tiantian.
Li Tiantian was captivated by Bai Xinze's alluring smile and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I'll definitely take good care of Rui Rui. We'll definitely help you move."
Bai Xinze received a satisfactory answer and left with a smile.
At this moment, Li Tiantian excitedly grabbed Zhou Rui's shoulder and shook him, saying, "Rui Rui, he smiled at me!"
"They still call me Miss Sweetie! And it sounds so nice. It's the first time I've ever thought my name sounded so beautiful," Li Tiantian said, swooning.
Zhou Rui looked helplessly at the infatuated Li Tiantian. He had no interest in listening to her infatuated words; he was only thinking about how to explain things to He Muchen.
"Rui Rui, what's gotten into you? How could you forget such a handsome classmate?"
"There's nothing I can do about it, I didn't do it on purpose," Zhou Rui said with a worried look.
He didn't do it on purpose, because the Zhou Rui who knew him had disappeared, and he didn't really know him.
"Whether you did it on purpose or not, send me his contact information. It'll give me a good reason to add him."
"Heaven has truly been kind to me. By taking advantage of his move, we can spend more time together," Li Tiantian said excitedly.
Zhou Rui gave Bai Xinze's contact information to Li Tiantian, who immediately added Bai Xinze as a friend, and Bai Xinze quickly accepted her friend request.
Li Tiantian screamed, "Ah...he added me!"
Zhou Rui rubbed his ears: "Sweetie, why don't you calm down, sit down and have some water? I'll get you some."
"I need to drink some water and calm down."
"Thank you so much, Xiao Rui Rui. I'm so excited I don't even know which way is up," Li Tiantian said with a grin.
Zhou Rui agreed with Li Tiantian's statement. When he first saw He Muchen, he was so excited that he didn't know what to do.
When Zhou Rui went to the break room to pour water for Li Tiantian, he ran into Song Anqi. Song Anqi was as cold as ice, so aloof. Zhou Rui forced a smile and went up to greet him.
"Song Mingxing, come and get some water too."
Song Anqi hummed in agreement, not saying another word to Zhou Rui. Zhou Rui, holding a full glass of water, smiled and said, "Song Mingxing, I'll go first."
"Are you with He Muchen?" Song Anqi asked coldly.
Zhou Rui was stunned for a moment. He realized that they had been too clingy and had been discovered. But they hadn't seen Song Anqi all day!
Seeing that Zhou Rui didn't answer him, Song Anqi reminded him again: "The hickey on your collarbone is too obvious."
Zhou Rui dropped his water glass, splashing water all over the floor and even his pants. He nervously touched his collarbone, wondering if He Muchen had done it to him in the lounge. He hadn't even noticed.
Did Bai Xinze and Li Tiantian see this too? How embarrassing.
Song Anqi wiped the water off the floor with a tissue, and Zhou Rui quickly squatted down to wipe the floor as well. He really didn't expect that the cold and aloof Song Anqi, the future movie star, would actually squat down to wipe the floor.
He didn't scold himself for leaving water on the floor, and even went to mop the floor himself. His temper is really something else. He seems cold on the surface, but he's actually a very warm-hearted guy. This person is quite the opposite.
"You guys should be more careful outside. I was the one who saw it today, but it won't be the same if someone else sees it in the future. You probably don't want to cause trouble for He Muchen, do you?" Song Anqi coldly reminded Zhou Rui.
"Okay, I understand. I won't cause He Muchen any trouble."
"Stay away from Zhou Yuzhi as well," Song Anqi said coldly.
Zhou Rui stared at Song Anqi with wide eyes. He thought that Song Anqi should be careful with He Muchen, but why did Song Anqi also tell him to stay away from Zhou Yuzhi? He didn't really want to get close to Zhou Yuzhi in the first place.
Zhou Rui smiled awkwardly: "I'm He Muchen's assistant now, so I shouldn't have much interaction with Zhou Yuzhi."
