After the college entrance examination, Du Heruo had a dinner with his classmates and bought a plane ticket to return home to visit his sick grandmother the next day.
Ye Nanning was unable to leave to see anyone off because of work, so only Du Xiran took the time to see her off.
The two sisters said goodbye at the airport. Du Xiran bought her a bunch of snacks and told her, "If mom asks about O and Nan Ning..."
"Okay, okay, I know what to say, don't worry." Du Heruo was holding the snacks, so how could he not know what she was thinking.
Although the two elders of the Du family reluctantly accepted the fact that Du Xiran and Ye Nanning were together, they were still worried. They called Du Heruo from time to time. In addition to asking about her studies, they would also ask about the progress of their relationship in a roundabout way.
Du Heruo found out that she didn't need to lie to her parents at all, as they got along very well to begin with. Instead, she became extremely jealous of herself for secretly observing them.
"I'm leaving. You two are the only ones left at home. You can play however you want." Du Heruo stretched out his voice in an ambiguous tone.
"What kind of dirty garbage is that in your mind?" Du Xiran rubbed her head unhappily.
"Oh my, my hair is messy." Du Heruo ran to the security checkpoint with a smile.
Du Xiran looked at her back and smiled silently. There was nothing to do in the company this afternoon, so she went home directly after meeting with the client.
Although he had to act like a decent person in front of Du Heruo, he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild as soon as he got home. He made a phone call and asked the aunt that Ye Nanning often hired to come home to clean the room.
Auntie came on time and got to know her well. She smiled and asked, "Are you going to clean up your house today?"
"Yes, please be more careful." Du Xiran stood in the living room, looking around for a while, with a hint of excitement in his expression. Even his aunt noticed the clue.
"What are you so happy about?"
"It's nothing, we just have to...rent a house together." Du Xiran said with a smile.
"That's a good thing. You have a good relationship, so living together will save you money." Auntie said with a smile.
Du Xiran nodded, and couldn't help but take a look at the bedroom. He suspected that the bed was not big enough, and then he worried that the closet could not hold the clothes of two people.
After Ye Nanning agreed to live together, the two began to discuss moving. The most convenient way was for Ye Nanning to move directly to her house.
But moving is not an easy task, especially when they are busy with work, so they decided to move a little bit every day, moving the unnecessary things first. After a few days of hard work, only clothes and some daily necessities are left.
Du Heruo's room was still reserved for her, but half of the closet was set aside to store their out-of-season clothes.
Within a few days, Du Xiran's originally just perfect two-bedroom, one-living-room apartment was filled to the brim.
Only then did she remember that Ye Nanning had been used to living in a big house since she was a child. Could she live in her small room for a long time? These days, she often fell into this kind of situation of sometimes happy and sometimes sad.
When Ye Nanning got off work in the evening, she was still looking at the current housing prices in City B. When she heard the sound of the door opening, she immediately closed her computer and turned to look at the person who came.
Ye Nanning flew over to her and hugged her: "What are you looking at? So sneaky."
"Nothing, I just closed it because you came back." Du Xiran smiled and pinched the back of her neck, "Have you eaten?"
"Yes, Mingshuang treated us." Ye Nanning slid down and lay down with his head resting on her legs.
Du Xiran picked up a small Millennium Tomato from the plate and fed it into her mouth: "What kind of meal did she treat you to? Is she still harboring evil intentions towards you?"
"No, didn't I tell you about her and my sister? He invited me to dinner this time mainly to ask me how to chase a girlfriend." Ye Nanning bit into a tomato, and the sweet juice spilled out. He licked the edge of his mouth with his tongue, "He said I have more experience, so he wanted to ask me for advice."
"Really?" Du Xiran fed her another tomato. Seeing that her tongue was always flexibly rolling when she chewed the tomato with her back tilted, he lowered his head to explore it for a while before asking with a smile, "What experience do you have? Tell me about it?"
Ahhhhhhh! Great satisfaction!
Even after being together for so long, she is still moved by Du Xiran.
Ye Nanning's face almost turned red like a tomato, and she stammered, "Don't you know that?"
"So someone with such stupid methods like you can become an expert in love? How amazing." Du Xiran laughed so hard that he fell forward and backward.
Ye Nanning clenched her fist: "Although the method is a bit stupid, at least I succeeded! As long as it works!"
"Yes, you are right."
Seeing that she was still laughing, Ye Nanning hugged her neck, tilted her head back and kissed her lips fiercely: "Don't laugh at me."
The tone was vicious, but the expression was so soft. Du Xiran pressed her back, took the initiative, and smiled gently: "Well, I won't laugh at you, you are the bravest person."
......
In mid-June, Ye Nanning took half a day off and returned to school to defend her thesis. After the defense, her tutor asked her about her plans again, and she said she planned to take the postgraduate entrance examination in the second half of the year.
The instructor was somewhat relieved and asked, "If you are working at Zhenghe now, will taking the postgraduate entrance examination while working affect your exam? There is only half a year left, do you want to prepare for the exam full-time?"
Ye Nanning thought about it and shook her head: "It doesn't matter, I want to continue working."
"That's fine. I believe in your ability. You will be successful in preparing for the exam while working." The instructor said, handing her the materials on the table. "By the way, please help me throw them away when you leave. You won't need these exchange school materials."
The school has several places for exchange students every year. Ye Nanning was fortunate enough to have a chance to go to Country M as an exchange student, but unfortunately she refused.
At this time, she was holding a small stack of brochures and walked to the trash can in the corner of the corridor. She stopped for a long time, her eyes lingering on the brochures. After a long while, she was about to throw them in, but she heard a stern shout: "Who is it? Why are you still wandering outside during class? Hurry up and go into the classroom."
Ye Nanning looked up and found a teacher standing at the door of the classroom next to her. The teacher seemed to have mistaken her for a student who was late for class. As soon as the teacher opened his mouth, she took two steps back in fear, not daring to answer, and stuffed the brochure into her bag, turned around and slipped away.
After returning to the company, she just walked into the office and noticed that there was something wrong with the atmosphere.
The originally noisy environment suddenly became quiet for a moment when she came in, and then the employees all turned their heads and looked at her at the same time.
Even though I knew everyone by name, I couldn't help feeling a little timid when so many people were staring at me, and I subconsciously quickened my pace towards my desk.
When she passed a group, she was stopped by Ming Shuang. Hu Jiaxu opposite her also stood up from his seat, and the two of them carried her to the meeting room.
"What are you doing?" Ye Nanning looked around in confusion and found that there was someone outside watching their movements through the glass.
Ming Shuang closed the blinds with a few "swish" sounds and said in a deep voice, "The affair between you and Du Xiran has been discovered."
Ye Nanning was startled, but still asked with a hopeful heart: "What's the matter?"
"About love." Hu Jiaxu held his forehead with his hand. "What's wrong with you? You're all gay. If it hadn't been exposed today, I would have been kept in the dark by you. It turns out that you also like women and have been flirting with President Du for a long time!"
"I'm sorry." Ye Nanning looked at her apologetically, "But what happened?"
Mingshuang explained the matter in a few words.
It turned out that a colleague was going to repair the dash cam today and checked the video. As a result, he accidentally saw two women kissing in a car opposite the company's parking lot.
A colleague exclaimed, which aroused the curiosity of the people around them. After some identification, everyone found that it was Du Xiran and Ye Nanning. It immediately caused a commotion, and soon everyone in the company knew about it.
Ye Nanning asked with a look of despair: "...Where is President Du?"
"He hasn't come back since he was called away by the HR department. It's been more than half an hour." Mingshuang said.
"Can you prove that the video is fake?" Hu Jiaxu asked, "Maybe they are just dazzled?"
Ye Nanning shook her head. She and Du Xiran would indeed kiss each other occasionally when they couldn't help themselves, but most of the time they would be concerned about the people around them. Even in the car, they would make sure there was no one around, but they ignored the dashcam, which happened to be taken out by someone.
The three of them were silent for a moment, and Hu Jiaxu suggested, "Why don't you take another half day off and go back to rest. Now everyone is discussing your gossip, and it's not good to stay here."
Ye Nanning shook her head weakly: "It's okay, I'll wait for President Du to come back... I'm going to work first."
She pushed open the door of the conference room, and countless eyes suddenly fell on her. Her originally nervous heart became calm because of worrying about Du Xiran, and she sat down in her seat with her head held high.
The colleagues in the group looked at her a few times, and seemed to have a lot to say, but they knew that it was inappropriate to ask anything now. After a moment of silence, everyone pretended nothing had happened and briefly communicated with her about work.
The other employees also gradually withdrew their gossiping eyes and began to chat privately in the group.
About half an hour later, the other protagonist of the incident finally came back. As soon as he walked into the office area, he was also greeted with attention.
Du Xiran, however, walked towards the office as if nothing had happened, without changing his expression. He even came to the team to give instructions on tasks. He gave Ye Nanning a soothing look and then turned and left.
Everyone had to suppress their curiosity for the time being and wait for a better opportunity to inquire.
But Xu Huan couldn't sit still. She always regarded Du Xiran as a role model at work, and she had some friendship with Ye Nanning, so she pretended to take documents to Du Xiran's office. No one knew what they talked about, and when they came out, they sighed heavily. When someone came to ask her about the details, Xu Huan waved her hands and didn't reveal anything, just said: "Just work hard, why do you have to worry about other people's business?"
After finally getting off work, several of Du Xiran's familiar colleagues couldn't help but come to her to ask questions. Compared to her relationship, they were more concerned about Du Xiran's work problems.
"What did the HR department talk to you about?" asked Lao Li.
"Just confirming the relationship." Du Xiran smiled, "I don't know why, but I actually had the illusion that a top star was publicly announcing their relationship. I don't know how many fans I will lose this time."
Her friends were amused by her joke. Some said she was a secretive person and no wonder she didn't have a boyfriend, it turned out she liked women. Others joked that she had found a beautiful girlfriend.
We are all experienced in the workplace and know what to say and what not to say. We won't be stupid enough to ask her about those gossips now, but we can show some concern for work matters.
When asked again why the HR department took so long to talk to her, she smiled and said, "Because I want to resign."
"Old Du, that's not the case." Old Li frowned, "Don't be impulsive."
The door was suddenly pushed open, and Ye Nanning looked at her with a pale face: "You want to resign?"
The room was quiet for a moment. Du Xiran raised his eyes and looked straight at Ye Nanning from the crowd. Then he walked over, took Ye Nanning's hand, and said to the others with a smile, "Friends, I haven't introduced her formally yet. This is my girlfriend. Please take good care of her in the future."
A few people were stunned for a moment, and then they laughed: "No problem."
"I'm going back with my girlfriend first. See you tomorrow." Du Xiran took Ye Nanning's hand and left.
As soon as they got home, Ye Nanning couldn't wait to ask, "Why did you want to resign? Did the HR force you to do so?"
Although the company has no explicit regulations prohibiting office romance, this aspect of romance has always been avoided. This industry deals with data, involves a wide range of interests, and if people seek personal gain, it is a big taboo.
What's more, the two of them are superiors and subordinates, Ye Nanning won the Best Intern Award last year, and the projects they usually work on are quite large. It is hard not to wonder whether they have any conflicts of interest.
Homosexuality adds a sense of taboo to the topic, which is bound to be criticized.
In view of this, Lisa, director of the Human Resources Department, called Du Xiran to the office and asked her what the relationship between her and Ye Nanning was.
Du Xiran admitted that they had been dating for half a year, but they had always handled work matters impartially.
Lisa had watched her grow from an intern to someone who could do the same thing, so she naturally believed in her character. So she could only follow the usual rules and transfer the two to different departments if an office romance occurred.
Based on the difference in positions, Ye Nanning will be transferred to the secondary market department downstairs.
This was already a merciful decision. Previously, there was an office romance, and the analyst was directly transferred to the customer service position, and both of them resigned in anger.
So almost always, when an office romance occurs, someone will choose to resign.
But Lisa didn't expect that the person who took the initiative to resign would be Du Xiran. She repeatedly advised her that she had worked hard for so many years and had reached the threshold of promotion, so how could she easily resign? However, Du Xiran was determined, so she had to let her go back and think about it carefully.
"If anyone has to quit, it should be me. You're going to be promoted soon." Ye Nanning said excitedly.
Du Xiran smiled and said, "I wasn't forced to do this. This is entirely my personal wish."
Ye Nanning didn't believe it. She felt that she was forced to give up a bright future. She felt guilty. She didn't know what she was thinking. She ran home and put all the materials in front of her. She quickly took out the remaining materials from her bag and said anxiously, "Look, I plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination. It's a good opportunity that I can prepare for the exam full-time after resigning. Go talk to Lisa tomorrow and get your resignation application back."
Du Xiran picked up the materials and looked at them: "Are you going to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"
"Yes!" Ye Nanning nodded firmly. It turned out that she planned to prepare for the exam while working. It would be a little hard at best, but since she could go to and from get off work with Du Xiran, she wouldn't feel it was hard.
But if someone has to resign, no matter how you look at it, she is the best choice.
"That's great. You will definitely pass the exam. I wanted to persuade you to study further before." Du Xiran encouraged her. When he met her burning gaze, he pressed her down on the sofa and said seriously, "Don't feel pressured. I have really considered resigning for a long time. I haven't told you yet that I withdrew my promotion report before."
Ye Nanning was stunned: "Why?"
"Because I guessed that this day would come." Du Xiran stroked her cheek and smiled lightly, "Love cannot be hidden. As long as we are in love, people will always find out. It's just a matter of time."
"Then it's not you who should resign." Ye Nanning frowned.
"It's okay. I've received offers from several companies." Du Xiran rubbed her knotted brows. "Headhunters have been contacting me over the past few years. I've only started paying attention to them recently. Several companies offer good salaries and promise that I can join them anytime."
Job hopping is also a way to get a raise and promotion. She has been staying in Zhenghe just because she has a feeling for it and her work is going well, so she is just too lazy to move.
Recently, because I was thinking about the house, I felt that this matter was becoming more and more urgent. Coincidentally, my love affair was exposed, so I took the opportunity to resign.
Lisa was also unwilling to let such a stable and profitable colleague leave, so she made several phone calls to persuade her in the evening. The MD above also sent her many messages, but all to no avail.
Before going to bed, Ye Nanning was still worried and looked through her chat history again to confirm whether there was really an offer.
Du Xiran was amused by her careful inspection. He walked into the bedroom with a few study abroad brochures and handed them to her: "Have you ever thought about studying abroad? I think you have."
Ye Nanning looked up in surprise, hurriedly snatched the booklet she accidentally brought home, and stammered, "I won't study abroad, I'll just do my postgraduate study in China."
"Is it because of family reasons?" Du Xiran had felt it was a pity and asked this question during the interview. The other party said it was because of family reasons, so she never mentioned it again. But tonight, when she saw the booklet of the college where she could study abroad in a pile of postgraduate entrance examination materials, she realized that Ye Nanning still had this idea.
Ye Nanning shook her head.
"Is that because of me?"
Ye Nanning bit her lip and remained silent for a moment, trying to fool her. But when she saw the other person's serious look, she gave up and hugged her in frustration: "I don't want to go abroad."
"Go study abroad," Du Xiran said. "You have a better chance and you are so young. Don't be trapped in a small corner. I have always felt that you should have a broader world. I felt so when I first met you."
"But I don't want to be separated from you." Ye Nanning said coquettishly, rubbing her head against her neck, "Are you willing to be separated from me?"
Her neck was itchy, and Du Xiran held her down with a smile: "I can't bear to leave, so I'll go with you."
Ye Nanning twisted her body twice and was about to refute, but she froze and looked at her in disbelief: "What did you say?"
"I said, let's go together."
Ye Nanning's eyes widened immediately: "You want to study abroad at your age?"
The veins on Du Xiran's forehead jumped: "...at my age?"
Ye Nanning slid down to the carpet with a plop: "I was wrong!"
