Du Xiran walked back home in two or three steps, leaned against the door and was in a daze for a long time. Hearing the door closing, he turned around and glanced through the peephole. After confirming that Ye Nanning would not come out again, he patted his chest gently.
What happened tonight was too sudden.
She was just pretending to be calm during the meal, but now that she was the only one left at home, she naturally let go completely. She collapsed on the sofa, one leg resting on the backrest, staring at the ceiling in deep thought -
Ye Nanning likes me.
Ye Nanning likes me?
Du Xiran opened her phone to take a selfie, and took a picture of herself in front of the camera. She couldn't help but say flatteringly, "I am really beautiful."
No, no, now is not the time to be narcissistic, you need to stay calm!
Du Xiran suppressed his mixed emotions, washed calmly, wiped his face calmly, and read a book calmly...but he couldn't concentrate at all.
She threw the book aside, closed her eyes and prepared to go to sleep. Ten minutes later, a pair of slender white legs bounced non-stop on the bed, followed by a sobbing cry: "Help, what's going on——"
The next morning, Du Xiran woke up early. To be more precise, he didn't sleep well the previous night. He woke up several times in the middle of the night, and woke up again at around six o'clock. Then he couldn't fall asleep again. As soon as he closed his eyes, the image of Ye Nanning's confession would appear in his mind - sincere, honest, and caught him off guard.
She washed up in a listless manner and sat on the sofa in a daze.
At this time, the sound of opening and closing doors came from the opposite side. She walked to the peephole and saw Ye Nanning leaving. She couldn't help but show a puzzled look.
Going to work so early? Didn't you even come to call her?
She leaned against the door, daydreaming for a while. She heard footsteps and looked outside. She saw Ye Nanning coming back with a plastic bag filled with some food ingredients.
It turned out that he was going to prepare breakfast.
Only then did she realize that Ye Nanning got up so early every morning in the middle of winter to buy fresh ingredients.
So now, she has two choices: one is to leave for the company now, and the other is to go to Ye Nanning's house for breakfast as usual, and then go to work together.
At this moment, Ye Nanning's eyes suddenly appeared in the cat's eyes. Du Xiran almost screamed, and she quickly covered her mouth.
Ye Nanning seemed to want to see the situation in her house through the peephole, or maybe she wanted to know whether she had left, but the result was definitely in vain.
The two of them were separated by a door, each with their own thoughts, and then Ye Nanning turned around and went back to prepare breakfast.
Du Xiran breathed a sigh of relief, frowned and thought for a moment, then went back to the room to get his bag.
Ye Nanning, who was washing vegetables, heard the alarm clock. She shook her hands, turned off the alarm clock, and sighed at the empty kitchen.
She got up early today. She didn't know how President Du slept last night. She tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep. Her mind was full of how Du Xiran would respond to her feelings. What expression should she use to face President Du?
It is true that one expresses his feelings passionately at the time, but becomes anxious and worried afterwards.
Today's breakfast is still a double portion, but I wonder if President Du will still have breakfast with her after knowing her selfish thoughts?
Ding-ling-ling——
She opened the door and saw Du Xiran, who was dressed neatly. She was surprised and asked, "Du, Mr. Du, are you... going to work so early?"
"You know how early it is. I haven't even eaten yet. How can I go to the company?" Du Xiran said as he walked in. "Are you making breakfast? Do you need help?"
Ye Nanning looked at her hesitantly: "No need, just wait for a while."
"I have nothing to do anyway, maybe if I help, I can eat faster." Du Xiran put his bag on the sofa with a smile, and then went to the kitchen, "Should I wash this coriander?"
"Yes."
The weather was cold, so Du Xiran turned on the hot water and started washing the coriander. Half a minute later, she paused and looked at Ye Nanning blankly: "This coriander... seems to be ripe."
Ye Nanning couldn't help laughing and pulled her out of the kitchen: "Leave it to me, you just wait for a while."
Du Xiran had no choice but to stop making things worse and sat aside watching her busy herself. Looking at her skillful movements, she inexplicably remembered a morning before when she also watched Ye Nanning make breakfast in the same way and mentioned in passing that she envied the woman Ye Nanning liked.
...Help, so she is envious of herself?
If she had known this would happen, she would have spoken less.
Du Xiran felt a little ashamed, and she held her face with her hands and took a deep breath. After a long time, she heard the sound of oil coming out of the pan, and turned her head to see that eggs were being fried in the pan.
Ye Nanning raised her head and saw that she was looking at him seriously, so she asked, "Boss Du, how many eggs can you eat?"
Du Xiran: “Two.”
Ye Nanning smiled: "Okay."
If you can eat two, it means you’re not in a bad mood!
After a while, breakfast was ready. Ye Nanning brought the beef noodles. Du Xiran had two fried eggs in his bowl and a big bowl of noodles.
"It's over. I may not be able to finish it." Du Xiran said modestly.
"You can finish it. I made it according to your usual appetite." Ye Nanning said.
Du Xiran: “…Oh.”
During the meal, the two were quiet for a while. Du Xiran occasionally looked up and saw Ye Nanning's furtive and calm eyes. He found it funny and couldn't help teasing her, "Do I look good?"
Ye Nanning paused and answered her seriously: "It looks good."
"Really? Where's the good stuff?"
Ye Nanning said without hesitation: "You have charming eyes, beautiful eyebrows, a high nose, beautiful lips, a small face, and a lot of hair."
Du Xiran pursed his lips and tried to hold back his smile: "Anything else?"
Ye Nanning finished commenting on her facial features and subconsciously looked down: "The collarbone is very nice, and the breasts are a bit big."
"......" Du Xiran choked and started coughing violently.
Ye Nanning regretted not falling after she finished speaking. How could she say everything that was in her heart!
Her face flushed, and she quickly took out a tissue and handed it to Du Xiran: "I, I was joking, Mr. Du, you are not old at all..."
Du Xiran took the tissue and wiped her mouth, then glanced at her: "Not big?"
Ye Nanning swallowed, hesitated for a moment, and said, "...big."
Du Xiran was both angry and amused. He pretended to be calm and drank a sip of water, then asked, "So, you are attracted by my appearance?"
Ye Nanning sat up straight and said sincerely: "If I say I don't care about her appearance at all, would you believe me?"
Du Xiran slowly uttered two words: "I don't believe it."
Ye Nanning plucked up the courage and said, "I do like your appearance, but after getting to know you, I think you are not only beautiful on the outside, you are a very good person. I like you so much..." As she said this, she felt a little shy and slowly raised the glass, trying to cover her face.
It must be said that the flattery did work. Du Xiran was flattered by her praise, but he still maintained his leadership demeanor and said calmly, "Well, I am indeed very good."
Ye Nanning nodded.
"But I'm not the only one who is so outstanding." Du Xiran said meaningfully, "Have you ever thought about meeting someone who is even better?"
Ye Nanning was silent for a moment and shook her head: "No matter how outstanding they are, they are not you."
Du Xiran paused for a moment, his face a little hot, and continued to eat noodles as if nothing had happened. He caught a glimpse of the other person's well-behaved face, sighed in his heart, and said bluntly: "But I can't respond to you. Let alone dating a woman, I haven't even had much contact with men. Intimate relationships are not what I want at this stage."
"I know, don't be embarrassed." Ye Nanning looked at her with burning eyes, "As long as you don't resist me, I'm very satisfied now. The current situation is the best outcome I can think of."
Du Xiran sighed and said, "Don't be like this, you are still young, you can go out and see more things, and in the end you will find that there are so many choices."
Ye Nanning: "You are my choice."
Du Xiran: "What if I don't like you?"
Ye Nanning thought for a moment and said cunningly, "You said it yourself. Who wouldn't like me? Unless she's blind."
Du Xiran: “…”
After finishing her meal, Ye Nanning picked up the lunch box and handed it to Du Xiran.
Du Xiran's eyebrows jumped: "Is there another heart inside?"
"No." Ye Nanning smiled.
At work, Du Xiran tried his best to avoid running into Ye Nanning to prevent any misunderstandings, but since they were in the same company, it was impossible to avoid each other completely.
For example, Ye Nanning must be present at the morning meeting.
After Du Xiran finished talking about the task, the people below were speaking. She occasionally looked up and saw Ye Nanning staring at her. When she noticed, she quickly buried her head in taking notes.
Such scenes have actually happened many times, but in the past she only thought that Ye Nanning was listening carefully and taking notes, and never thought about it deeply. Now it seems that she really didn't think enough, it turns out that Ye Nanning had revealed so many flaws.
"Who's free on Saturday? Come with me to meet a client." Du Xiran asked.
Even if they were free on the weekend, no one wanted to go out with their boss to meet clients. Everyone else was silent, only Ye Nanning immediately raised her hand: "I'm free."
"......" Du Xiran looked at others, "Does anyone else want to go?"
The others looked up at the ceiling, at the floor, but not at her.
Ye Nanning raised her hand and followed her gaze: "Me."
Du Xiran: "No reimbursement."
Ye Nanning: "It doesn't matter."
Du Xiran: "I still have to run errands."
Ye Nanning: "I can."
Xu Huan couldn't listen any longer: "Boss Du, just let Xiao Ye go. We can't go anyway. Besides, she has taken the initiative. Why don't you give her a chance?"
Ye Nanning nodded vigorously: That’s right, just give me a Jihui.
Du Xiran held his forehead helplessly: "Then it's you, I'll send you the information later."
"Okay." Ye Nanning smiled while holding the notebook. Xu Huan on the side secretly gave her a thumbs up, thanking her for her selfless dedication. Ye Nanning also returned a grateful smile, thinking that when I get married to Mr. Du one day, you must sit at the main table!
At lunch time, Hu Jiaxu brought his takeaway food to Ye Nanning's seat to eat, chatting idly. After talking about work, she suddenly mentioned what happened yesterday on Christmas.
"I went home last night and saw him downstairs. He gave me a gift. Even though we didn't break the window paper, I felt like I was about to fall in love." Hu Jiaxu narrowed his eyes and shook his hands and hit her like a primary school student.
Ye Nanning was indifferent and was amused by her: "Then congratulations."
Hu Jiaxu: "How about you, how are you and the person you like?"
Ye Nanning: "I confessed."
"Oh my god!" Hu Jiaxu's exclamation was so loud that it echoed throughout the office. Even Du Xiran in the office heard the noise.
Hu Jiaxu immediately covered his mouth in embarrassment and looked at her in surprise, "Is this true? You confessed your feelings without saying anything?!"
Ye Nanning nodded.
"You're quite aggressive! I thought you were going to wait for others to take the initiative." Hu Jiaxu excitedly punched her, "Tell me what happened."
Du Xiran went out to get some water and saw the two of them huddled together at the table, whispering to each other with great excitement, just like two classmates gossiping in class.
If it were any other time, she would have walked over curiously to find out what they were talking about, but at this moment, she instinctively felt that the topic might be related to feelings, or even to herself.
...This makes it even more curious, isn't it?
Du Xiran approached calmly and heard Hu Jiaxu asking gossipingly: "How did you confess your love? Did the other party hug you in surprise and kiss you madly?"
Du Xiran:......?
Ye Nanning said disappointedly: "No."
"Then you can also take the initiative! It's not shameful for a girl to take the initiative. You can hug him and kiss him madly." Hu Jiaxu started to give bad advice.
Du Xiran:......
Ye Nanning: "I'm afraid she will hit me."
"Then tie him up with a rope first, and then do something else..." Hu Jiaxu couldn't stop thinking. He laughed so hard that he turned around and saw Du Xiran, who looked like the King of Hell. He was so scared, "Hey, Mr. Du, why don't you make any noise when you walk?"
Ye Nanning was startled and quickly turned around to look at her.
Du Xiran glanced at the two of them and said with an ambiguous tone, "Be careful when making friends."
Ye Nanning: “.”
After Du Xiran left, Hu Jiaxu asked in confusion: "What did Mr. Du mean by that just now?"
Ye Nanning glanced at her and smiled: "Nothing, go on and tell me what happened after you tied him up."
