On the second day, the atmosphere at the table was noticeably more intimate than usual.
This kind of intimacy has nothing to do with physical contact, but comes from eye contact.
When Ye Nanning looked at Du Xiran, there was less restraint and anxiety in her eyes, and more of a smile that seemed to want to say something but couldn't.
Du Xiran was also obviously different. Yesterday's kiss made them both completely clarify their identities in this relationship. They were no longer just superiors and subordinates, or good neighbors, but lovers who could share each other's secrets and do more intimate things.
While eating, the two of them held hands quietly. No one knew who took the initiative first. They only reacted after they finished eating. They smiled at each other and then let go very naturally.
"Let me wash the dishes." Du Xiran said proactively.
Ye Nanning wanted to refuse, but she glared back at him, so he nodded and packed his lunch box beside her.
There were sounds of dishes colliding and water splashing in the kitchen. Du Xiran was not an experienced cook, and the water splashed on his body and face, but he didn't care at all.
At this time, a hand reached out from the side, pressed on her cheek, and helped her wipe away the water droplets bit by bit.
Du Xiran subconsciously turned his head to look over, curled his lips, and kissed her on the corner of her mouth: "Thank you."
Ye Nanning stood there stiffly.
After Du Xiran finished washing the dishes, she still stood there in the same posture.
Du Xiran laughed out loud. It seemed to be an illusion. Ye Nanning obviously had not fully adapted yet.
She smiled and took Ye Nanning's hand: "Let's go to work."
Ye Nanning followed her out in small steps, and suddenly turned back: "Wait, I forgot to bring my lunch box."
Du Xiran was waiting at the door for her to go back and get her lunch box, but as soon as he ran over and held her hand, he said, "Ah, I forgot to bring the key." Then he ran back to the living room to get the key.
Du Xiran leaned against the door and laughed: "Ye Nanning, you're done. You're just as forgetful as me. You don't learn good things, but only bad ones."
Ye Nanning said ashamedly: "I'm sorry...you have attracted all my attention."
Du Xiran was speechless, and then she lifted her hair in a charming manner: "Then I should be the one to say sorry, right?"
Ye Nanning: "It's my weakness!"
On the way to the company, Du Xiran asked, "How many lunch boxes did you bring today?"
Ye Nanning: "Two servings."
"Didn't you bring it to Mingshuang?"
"The previous two times were just to express gratitude, and she doesn't need it anymore." Ye Nanning shook her head. She didn't know what she was thinking of. She suddenly looked at Du Xiran, "Mr. Du, you are not...jealous?"
Du Xiran: "Watch the road carefully."
Although Du Xiran did not answer the question directly, Ye Nanning was delighted and was in a good mood all the way to the company.
She went to the tea room to get water and ran into Mingshuang who was having breakfast inside.
"Oh, are you so happy today?" Mingshuang asked.
"Is it so obvious?" Ye Nanning touched the corner of her mouth subconsciously and found that it was indeed bent. It might not be strange to others, but Ye Nanning usually had a cold face, so it was no wonder that Mingshuang saw it at a glance.
"It seems that the relationship is going very well." Mingshuang said while drinking milk.
Ye Nanning looked around and saw that there was no one around, so she walked to the side and covered her mouth and whispered, "Let me tell you something, President Du is actually jealous of you!"
Mingshuang looked at her in surprise, as if he was looking at a fool.
"Oh my God, she was actually jealous of you, hehe." Ye Nanning couldn't help but cover her mouth and laughed.
"Xiao Ye, today is the first time I meet you." Ming Shuang said in amazement, "How come I didn't realize you were so stupid? Isn't it obvious that she's jealous? She was jealous when I asked you in the elevator if you wanted to be my girlfriend."
"Really?" Ye Nanning's eyes widened, "Really? Really? Really?!"
"Nonsense." Mingshuang picked his ears. "Why else do you think I leaned close to your ear and pretended to whisper? It was just to observe her. The look in her eyes seemed to want to torture me to death."
"!!!"
For a moment, Ye Nanning was both surprised and happy, and kept asking her for details of the incident. However, Mingshuang only revealed a few words and stopped talking. She looked at her with a look of disappointment: "I understand why you have been secretly in love with me for so long, but it's fortunate that President Du reacted quickly and seized this fate of yours. Otherwise, the possibility of you two BEing would be 90%."
What he said made sense, and Ye Nanning also agreed with it. Except for the fact that she made her feelings clear at the beginning, she was completely hesitant afterwards and didn't dare to take that step rashly. Fortunately, President Du took the initiative to propose a relationship, otherwise they might have just drifted apart.
Woohoo! It’s another day when I love President Du so much!
"Thank you, Mingshuang." Ye Nanning thanked her from the bottom of her heart, "I didn't know you had helped me so much silently."
"Stop it, I'm not just trying to help you, I'm just doing this for the sake of convenience." Ming Shuang smiled, "I also have selfish motives. If Mr. Du doesn't understand, can I take advantage of the situation?"
Ye Nanning also smiled: "No matter what, I have to thank you."
"Okay, then take practical action and make me a lunch box?" Mingshuang said.
"No, Mr. Du will be jealous." Ye Nanning said with a slight smile.
"Oh, you forget your principles for the sake of beauty." Ming Shuang finished his breakfast, walked past her, threw the garbage into the bin, and sighed, "Hey, when can I find a new love?"
"You will definitely find it." Ye Nanning said sincerely.
"Then I'll lend you my good words." Ming Shuang was about to leave when he glanced outside. Suddenly he turned back to look at her and said with a half-smile, "Since you are ungrateful, I decided to take revenge on you."
Ye Nanning: "Hmm?"
The next moment, Mingshuang blew her a kiss: "Baby, see you at noon."
Ye Nanning was full of questions, and then she shouted again: "Good morning, President Du."
Ye Nanning: “!!”
The next moment, Du Xiran passed by Ming Shuang and walked in with a dark face, his face as gloomy as water, his eyes slightly narrowed: "You two have a good relationship."
Ye Nanning quickly stepped forward to explain: "Mr. Du, listen to me, she was just teasing us, she did it on purpose."
Du Xiran took the water expressionlessly, glanced at her expressionlessly, and walked away expressionlessly.
Ye Nanning chased after her and heard Mingshuang laughing out loud in her seat. She turned around and waved her fist at her in the air. Mingshuang laughed even louder.
The two walked into the office one after another. Ye Nanning immediately told Du Xiran that it was just a small misunderstanding. She told her about their conversation and said that Ming Shuang did this just to make President Du jealous and angry with her.
"Jealous? She said I was jealous of her?" Du Xiran looked up at her.
Ye Nanning nodded and looked at her nervously and curiously: "So, President Du, have you ever been jealous of her?"
"Heh." Du Xiran did not answer, but asked, "Have you finished your work?"
"......not yet."
"So you still have time to come here and chat?"
"I'll go to work right away." Ye Nanning returned to her seat in fear, thinking that an angry President Du was so scary. While opening the form, she sent Mingshuang a dozen "bomb" emoticons.
In the office, Du Xiran took a sip of water, walked slowly to the door, stared at the people outside, his eyes slid to Mingshuang, and he smiled indifferently.
Jealous, right? It's fun, right?
During lunch, Ye Nanning and Hu Jiaxu sat together, and Mingshuang also came over with a lunch box.
Hu Jiaxu's eyes widened: "No way! Xiaoye, are you still helping her make lunch boxes?"
"No." Ye Nanning said.
Mingshuang opened her lunch box and picked up her chopsticks: "My nanny made this."
"Let me try some." Hu Jiaxu took two pieces of meat and just stuffed them into his mouth when he caught a glimpse of a figure in his peripheral vision. He hurriedly greeted him, "Boss Du, are you ready to eat?"
"Yes." Du Xiran came over with a lunch box, "You guys are so lively, can I join in?"
Hu Jiaxu naturally had no objection, but Du Xiran was the leader, and some people felt uncomfortable eating with their leaders. She subconsciously looked at Ye Nanning, wanting to ask for her opinion, but Ye Nanning had already stood up and pulled away the stools next to her, and the expectation in her eyes was too obvious.
Hu Jiaxu: “…” Very aware!
But what was even more surprising was that Du Xiran did not sit down next to Ye Nanning, but walked around them, sat next to Ming Shuang, and smiled gently at Ming Shuang.
All three of them were stunned for a moment.
Hu Jiaxu was simply wondering when the two of them became so close, while Ye Nanning and Ming Shuang were confused and a little shocked.
Du Xiran glanced at the food in Ming Shuang's bowl and said, "Your lunch box looks great. Can I have a bite?"
Mingshuang nodded dumbfoundedly.
Du Xiran picked up a piece of meat very naturally, put it in his mouth, and his face relaxed: "Mm, it's delicious."
Ye Nanning looked down at her lunch box and felt a little sour.
Ming Shuang smiled awkwardly: "Boss Du, we don't seem to be familiar with each other, right? Why don't you... go sit over there?"
"Can't we get along if we're not familiar with each other? You're so outstanding, who wouldn't want to be friends with you, right?" Du Xiran asked with a smile, with the word "friendly" written all over her face, but Mingshuang felt that Ye Nanning's eyes were about to torture her to death.
Mingshuang suddenly realized that Du Xiran did it on purpose!
But she couldn't fight back or flirt back openly, otherwise Ye Nanning would definitely think that she was trying to seduce Du Xiran.
Ming Shuang no longer dared to flirt with others as usual, and said obediently: "Boss Du, you are joking. If we talk about excellence, it has to be Xiao Ye."
"Of course Xiaoye is well-behaved, but your style is different from hers. You are so cheerful." Du Xiran said with a smile.
Ye Nanning's head was about to drop to the bowl. She was so introverted that she had no appetite at all. Then she heard Du Xiran continue to say, "Cheerful people are easy to get along with. Otherwise, can you just call everyone you meet baby?"
She is really a jealous person. She is so jealous. Mingshuang regrets it so much. If she had known earlier, she would not have teased them. She didn't expect that Du Xiran is also a person who refuses to admit defeat.
Hu Jiaxu interrupted at the right time: "Indeed, Mingshuang always calls others darling."
Ming Shuang glanced at her sharply and winked at her frantically. Hu Jiaxu asked, "Do you have an eye disease?"
Mingshuang: “…”
"It's just a catchphrase, it doesn't have any other meaning." Mingshuang looked at Du Xiran.
"It's just a name, of course I know that." Du Xiran smiled slightly. Others couldn't see it, but Mingshuang had a hunch that something was wrong.
Sure enough, the next moment, she heard Du Xiran say with a smile on his face: "Then eat quickly, baby."
Ming Shuang was so scared that she almost knocked over the bowl. She quickly looked at Ye Nan Ning. With Hu Jiaxu beside her, she couldn't explain. She looked at Du Xiran again, defeated, and stood up in frustration: "I'm full. Bye."
"Hey, why are you leaving?" Hu Jiaxu asked in confusion, "Are you trying to lose weight secretly and then kill us?"
Ye Nanning raised her eyes, glanced at Mingshuang's back, and thought to herself: Good job, keep going!
Hu Jiaxu asked her a question. She just turned her head and her hand hanging on the other side was grabbed by someone under the table, and her palm was pinched.
She turned around in surprise, only to see Du Xiran holding a spoon in her left hand, drinking soup as if nothing had happened. No one knew that her right hand was holding her hand at this moment.
The haze in Ye Nanning's heart was immediately dispelled by the sunshine, and it became bright.
In the evening, they both got off work at about the same time, so Du Xiran waited for her for a while, and then they got off work together. While waiting for the elevator, Ming Shuang also came over.
The three of them looked at each other, and Mingshuang immediately stepped back: "Please, you go first, I forgot to take something, I'll wait for the next trip."
Seeing that she had finally become obedient, Du Xiran withdrew his gaze with satisfaction.
After returning to the community, Du Xiran found that Ye Nanning didn't say much along the way, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Ye Nanning remained silent.
"What's wrong? Speak up. Are you angry about what happened at noon?" Du Xiran asked.
Ye Nanning nodded, then shook her head, and then nodded again.
Du Xiran didn't want to laugh, but her reaction was really cute. She said, "I was just teasing her. Look, isn't she being obedient tonight?"
"Yeah." Ye Nanning nodded.
Standing in the elevator, Du Xiran came up to her and observed her expression: "No, you have something on your mind. What is it? Didn't you promise to express your emotions directly to me?"
Ye Nanning looked at her hesitantly and said in a muffled voice: "When I saw her, I thought of..."
"What did you think of?"
"You call her baby." Ye Nanning stammered, "You've never called me baby."
Du Xiran slowly raised the corners of his mouth, stretched out his hand to lift her hair back, put his lips close to her ear, as if rubbing it against her ear, and whispered, "Baby."
Ye Nanning was shocked and looked at her sideways. When their eyes met, there was a hint of eagerness in his eyes.
Just as Ye Nanning was about to kiss her lips, the elevator door opened.
"Let's go." Du Xiran smiled triumphantly and took her hand and walked out.
Ye Nanning, like a young girl in love, held her hands with both hands: "Boss Du, please shout again."
"No."
"Just shout it out once."
"I won't shout."
"Shout, shout, please."
Du Xiran looked back at her gradually becoming more and more spoiled, and was pleased, so he asked with a smile: "What are you calling me? Baby?"
"Yeah!" Ye Nanning looked at her with starry eyes.
"precious......"
"What are you doing in the corridor?" The door of the room next to him suddenly opened, and Du Heruo came out with a hot dog in his hand. "I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you didn't come back. When you came back, you didn't come in. I, Du Heruo, am back again. Are you happy?"
The two looked at her at the same time. Du Heruo did not feel the welcome she expected. She snorted, lowered her eyes, and noticed the hands they were holding: "You..."
Ye Nanning looked in the direction of his sight and was startled. She quickly raised Du Xiran's hand and said, "Boss Du, look, it seems like you have a barb on your finger!"
Du Xiran: “…”
