The story afterward
"Jiang, have you seen enough?"
Jiang Cheng shifted his gaze from Yu Miaomiao in the mirror to Yu Miaomiao in reality, his phoenix eyes curving into a smile, "I can never get enough of looking at her."
"Keep your voice down."
Yu Miaomiao glared at him, her cold mask worn for work falling away to reveal genuine nervousness. "There are people outside."
"Some people don't care."
Jiang Cheng took a step and turned, slowly approaching Yu Miaomiao, trapping her between the wall and his chest. He chuckled, his phoenix eyes lowered, staring straight at the girl, "I've wanted to tell everyone for a long time that Miaomiao is my girlfriend."
Yu Miaomiao's work is subject to a certain degree of confidentiality, so Jiang Chengyi has never revealed any specific information about her, to the point that her colleagues in the project team all thought that this "girlfriend" was fictitious.
Yu Miaomiao inexplicably felt that Jiang Chengyi's words were very serious, not like a joke, so she thought for a moment and replied seriously as well, "Not now, the application wasn't approved, I'll have to wait two more months, um—"
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Chengyi gently kissed her.
Because it was a public place, the two of them did not make any big movements, just gently rubbing their lips together and occasionally intertwining their tongues.
A few minutes later, the two separated. Jiang Cheng pressed his forehead against Yu Miaomiao's and said in a low voice, "Why didn't you tell me you were coming today? You didn't even reply to my messages. I was worried for so long."
Yu Miaomiao tilted her head back, slightly out of breath, "I want to give you a surprise."
Jiang Cheng chuckled softly, "I was indeed pleasantly surprised to see you."
Dressed in a neat business suit, with a cold and emotionless expression, her colleagues all lowered their heads, not daring to meet her gaze. But Jiang Chengyi was so attracted that he couldn't look away. When those deep green cat eyes looked at him, even his heart skipped a beat.
Jiang Chengyi was about to say something more, but Yu Miaomiao suddenly frowned and said, "Someone is coming."
He hugged the other person and slipped into the accessible restroom.
Soon, footsteps and voices approached.
"Old Jiang is really bold, daring to say such things in this kind of situation."
"Who told him to be so skilled that he could smooth things over?"
"God help me, please let this review go smoothly!"
The two exchanged a few words and then went into the restroom.
The accessible restroom was dark, with the lights off. Jiang Cheng cupped Yu Miaomiao's face in his hands, feeling her inch by inch, and leaned down to her ear, whispering, "Team Leader Miaomiao, may I know the review results in advance?"
"no."
Team Leader Yu never abuses his power or breaks the law. "The investigation results will be available in three days."
"I see." Jiang Cheng sighed, feigning disappointment. "I thought I'd get special privileges."
"No one has special privileges, and more!"
In the darkness, he couldn't see Yu Miaomiao's expression, but he could hear her slightly embarrassed and annoyed voice.
"Don't pretend I didn't hear you. Go tell everyone I fell in love with you at first sight!"
"Yes, yes, I was just talking nonsense."
Jiang Cheng gently nuzzled Yu Miaomiao's neck with the tip of his nose, his tone sincere, "Actually, it was love at first sight for Team Leader Miaomiao."
"As soon as the review team came in, I was attracted by the cold and beautiful team leader Miao Miao. I couldn't take my eyes off her for a moment. How could there be such a beautiful person in the world? The way she walks, the way she flips through a book, the way she thinks seriously, the way she gets angry, every single one of them is so cute. When her eyes swept over me, I even forgot to breathe."
"I was so flustered that I took the initiative to shake your hand and even made some remarks to attract your attention, just so you would look at me more."
His voice lowered, "But it seems that Team Leader Miao Miao doesn't care at all, and it seems... she even dislikes me a little. I couldn't help it, so I had to take advantage of Team Leader Miao Miao going to the toilet to pull you into the bathroom and confess my feelings to you."
He said dejectedly, "But Team Leader Miao Miao was still so cold-hearted and rejected me without hesitation, without giving me a chance. I was so desperate that I impulsively tried to kiss you."
Perhaps it was the dark and private environment, or perhaps it was Jiang Chengyi's overly immersive tone, but Yu Miaomiao truly became immersed in the scene Jiang Chengyi described.
As the head of the review team, she went to review research projects. Everyone being reviewed was extremely respectful and apprehensive, except for one bold human researcher who took the initiative to shake her hand. During the handshake, she felt a slight hook on her palm. At first, she thought it was her imagination, because the researcher's expression was so indifferent, but what happened afterward became increasingly strange.
When presenting the PPT, the researcher kept looking at the audience. Everyone else thought it was an interaction, but only she knew that the other person's gaze had never left her. When looking at the materials, she also felt sticky eyes around her, but when she looked up, the researcher's expression was so calm.
While washing her hands, this seemingly handsome and upright researcher suddenly pulled her into the bathroom, wouldn't let her leave, and leaned close to her neck, passionately professing his love.
Finally, the researcher very politely announced, "Team Leader Miaomiao, I'm going to give you a forceful kiss."
At that moment, Yu Miaomiao panicked genuinely, "What are you going to do—"
In stark contrast to his tone, the researcher, who appeared very indifferent and upright, ignored her protests and kissed her fiercely.
The researcher looked thin, but the body wrapped in the white coat was surprisingly strong, and no matter how the frail team leader Miao Miao resisted, she couldn't escape.
She sat on the other person's lap, her waist tightly embraced, the two of them so close that they were separated by only a few layers of clothing, and the back of her neck was held by a hot hand, forcing her to tilt her head back and open her mouth to cooperate with the tall researcher.
Like some possessive canine, he meticulously licked every inch of Yu Miaomiao's mouth, leaving no stone unturned, trying to leave his mark on every part.
Yu Miaomiao's tongue was sore from being sucked, and her lips burned. She was finally released, but the man continued to kiss her from the corner of her lips to behind her ear, where he began to lick and kiss her tenderly.
Her breathing gradually quickened, and her body began to tremble slightly. At one point, she gasped for breath and turned to try to escape, but she was trapped by the other person's large hand and could not get away.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door again. It was the two people from before. They stood in front of the sink, talking very close to each other.
"I need to hurry, Lao Lin is urging me to go over there."
"Speaking of which, where is Lao Jiang? We haven't seen him since he left the meeting room."
"Who knows, maybe in the lab."
"Team Leader Yu is not here either. Thank goodness, without her, I feel much less pressure."
...
Unbeknownst to the two colleagues, Jiang Chengyi and Yu Miaomiao, whom they were discussing, were just a wall away from each other.
The cold, unapproachable head of the review team and the indifferent, nonchalant researcher, who were locked in a fierce confrontation in the conference room just half an hour ago, are now locked in an intimate kiss.
Yu Miaomiao turned her head to the side, pressed her cheek against the cold tiles, bit her lower lip hard, and tried her best to suppress her rapid breathing.
The researcher's kiss moved to the earlobe, his hoarse voice and warm breath drilling into the ear canal.
"Team Leader Miaomiao, don't be nervous, they've already left."
Yu Miaomiao glanced at him reproachfully, her eyelashes trembling slightly, glistening with tiny drops of water, and her words were broken and fragmented from the excessive stimulation.
"Let me go."
The researcher readily accepted the good advice and put the people aside.
The aloof, polite researcher is back.
He gently wiped away Yu Miaomiao's tear stains and the dampness on her cheeks with a wet wipe, buttoned up her uniform, turned up her collar, and smoothed out the wrinkles. While tidying up Yu Miaomiao's messy hair, he apologized.
"I'm so sorry, Team Leader Miaomiao, I left a mark on the back of your neck."
He lifted Yu Miaomiao's left hand and stroked the silver ring. "You're wearing a ring, so you have a boyfriend, right?"
"But my lips are swollen and I have marks on my neck. How am I going to explain this to my boyfriend when I get home?"
"After your boyfriend finds out, he'll probably go crazy. He'll pin Team Leader Miaomiao down on the bed and interrogate her about what happened. Team Leader Miaomiao felt ashamed and didn't want to say, but her boyfriend just kept asking and asking, even when she cried..."
Jiang Chengyi kissed Yu Miaomiao's red and wet eyes with pity, "Poor Miaomiao, team leader."
"Let me be Miaomiao's boyfriend, that way, Miaomiao won't have to worry about it."
Yu Miaomiao lay on Jiang Chengyi's chest, calmed down for a while, then grabbed his shoulder and bit him on the back of the neck in revenge.
Jiang Cheng turned on the light, looked at the obvious teeth mark on the back of his neck in the mirror, and laughed, "Miao Miao bit me really hard."
Yu Miaomiao snorted, "Who told you to tease me!"
She also looked in the mirror to see if the redness and swelling at the corner of her mouth was obvious, muttering to herself, "How can you have such a perverse sense of humor?"
"What forced kiss, what boyfriend, that's so weird..."
Jiang Cheng apologized: "Miaomiao today is really different from the one we usually see. I just couldn't help it."
After apologizing, he changed the subject: "And Miaomiao must have found it very novel, right? She was very excited when we kissed, and she was trembling the whole time."
Yu Miaomiao retorted, "That's nervousness!"
Her face turned suspiciously red.
After the two finished getting ready, Yu Miaomiao went out first, warning Jiang Chengyi, "Come out again in five minutes."
Five minutes later, as soon as Jiang Cheng stepped out, his colleagues, who had been looking for him everywhere, grabbed him. "Quick, Lao Jiang, the review team specifically requested a document, but we've all forgotten where we put it. You must remember!"
Sure enough, Jiang Chengyi finally found the document in some obscure corner.
He went to deliver the documents, and General Manager Lin pushed him in front of Yu Miaomiao, saying, "Team Leader Yu, the documents are right here. All the documents for our project are definitely complete."
"If you need any more information, just ask Xiao Jiang, he knows everything!"
Yu Miaomiao said indifferently, "Engineer Jiang is really all-rounder."
For some reason, President Lin sensed a hint of sarcasm in the conversation. He assumed that the matter from earlier was still unresolved, so he spoke up, intending to get Jiang Cheng out of there.
"Xiao Jiang, um... Xiao Xing is calling you. Give the documents to Team Leader Yu and go over there quickly."
Jiang Cheng responded and handed over the documents, saying, "Team Leader Yu, here you go."
As Yu Miaomiao took the documents, Jiang Cheng gently touched her fingertip through the thin page of paper.
She picked up the document, glanced at Jiang Chengyi with a warning in her eyes, while he remained calm, looking as if he had no idea what was going on.
Mr. Lin, who had been observing the situation closely, noticed that the atmosphere between the two was tense. He gritted his teeth, rushed forward, and stood between them.
"Xiao Jiang, what are you standing there for? Xiao Xing is waiting for you!"
Jiang Cheng chuckled, "Alright, I'll go find him."
At the door, his colleagues peeked around, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he came out. "Old Jiang, I think you really offended Team Leader Yu."
Jiang Cheng nodded in agreement, "She is indeed angry with me."
As the two walked toward the lab, during their conversation, a colleague noticed a red mark on the back of his neck and asked suspiciously, "What's that on your neck? Why is it red?"
Jiang Chengyi casually replied, "I got bitten by a mosquito."
My colleague scoffed, "Who are you kidding? It's almost winter, there won't be any mosquitoes."
"Maybe it was bitten by a cat."
His colleague laughed, "Old Jiang, aren't you usually such a serious person? Why are you talking nonsense today?"
"It's probably an allergic reaction. I have allergy medication in my drawer, but I don't know if humans can take it..."
At six o'clock, the review team was still in the archives room, while their colleagues were already packing up and leaving get off work.
After he finished packing and slung his bag over his shoulder, he turned around and found Jiang Chengyi still sitting there. He couldn't help but ask in surprise, "Old Jiang, aren't you usually the most eager to leave work? Why are you being so lazy today?"
Jiang Chengyi took a leisurely sip of coffee. "My girlfriend is working overtime. I'll wait for her."
When the topic of girlfriends came up, his colleague sat back down next to him. "Tell me the truth, does this girlfriend of yours really exist? I've never seen her before."
"certainly."
Jiang Cheng turned the ring on his left middle finger, his tone lowering, carrying a gentleness he himself was unaware of.
"You'll be able to see her soon."
My colleague shrugged. "Fine, I'll wait for that day."
He went downstairs, found his car, and his friend who wanted a ride was already waiting nearby.
After getting in the car, he discussed what had just happened with his friend.
"Although we all joked that Lao Jiang's girlfriend was fake, the way he looked at the ring just now was definitely different; he was especially gentle."
My friend chimed in, "I agree. I checked Lao Jiang's ring; it's a custom-made wedding ring from a very famous brand. It can't be sold separately. If it's just for show, there's no need to buy such an expensive wedding ring."
My colleague became interested. "What brand is it? Let me see."
My friend pulled up a picture and said, "Look, this one."
My colleague leaned over to take a look. "Wow, that's expensive! But it's actually quite pretty. Hmm, I feel like I've seen this women's ring somewhere before, where...?"
Fragments of images flashed through his mind, but they didn't form a coherent picture. He tried desperately to recall them, and finally, the image that stuck in his mind was the silver light reflected from the ring on Jiang Chengyi's left hand when he held the page-turning pen.
And Yu Guangzhong, the team leader, seemed to be wearing the same women's ring on his raised left hand.
The colleague's eyes widened slowly, and her mouth gaped open. Recalling their interaction during the day, she felt something was off no matter how she looked at it. Jiang Chengyi's voice echoed in her ears: "Maybe she fell in love with me at first sight."
Love at first sight, love at first sight, love at first sight, love at first sight...
What the hell!
It must have been premeditated!
My friend's words rang in my ears, "The light's red, stop right now!"
He slammed on the brakes, and amidst his friend's shuddering cries of fear, slowly buried his face in the steering wheel.
Jiang Chengyi, you actually didn't lie...
