"Ugh, looks like it's going to rain all day again. How annoying."
Sitting near the window in her office, Mu Xiaoyi said in a muffled voice, clearly in a bad mood.
Yue Jiuling sat next to her new colleague, Xiao Baicai, watching Xiao Baicai water the small potted plant on her desk. As she reached out to touch the seedlings inside, she said to Mu Xiaoyi:
"Yeah, it's been raining from morning till night, almost all day long. The streets are all wet, it's so annoying to look at."
"It's okay if it's over, but this is taking too long. It's making it difficult for me to go on a date with my boyfriend. Sigh."
Hearing Mu Xiaoyi sigh, Bai Xinyu, who was watching the drama next to her, chuckled mischievously, saying with schadenfreude:
"Oh, so you can't go on your date, huh? Hahaha, you two are always showing off your love, this time even the heavens couldn't stand it anymore, hahaha."
Everyone in the office knew that Mu Xiaoyi had a boyfriend, and that he worked in another branch of the metaphysics management department. The two often showed their affection and offended everyone. Now that they heard that their date had fallen through, everyone was gloating.
"Oh dear, my date is ruined. How great, hahaha."
"Let you show off, now it's fun, isn't it?"
Mu Xiaoyi, who had been laughed at by everyone, was so angry that she stomped her foot in frustration:
"Hmph, we just can't go on a date this time, but there will be countless more times in the future. You single dogs can keep laughing. I know you're just envious and jealous, but I won't hold it against you!"
Her words caused a sudden silence. Right, it's just this one time she can't go on a date, not the last time. Meanwhile, they were the most pitiful ones, being single.
Xiao Baicai had only been working for two days and didn't know much about everyone's situation. Holding his beloved potted plant, he looked at the suddenly silent group and finally cautiously tugged at Yue Jiuling's sleeve, whispering:
"What's wrong? Why is everyone suddenly so quiet? Are you all single except for Sister Xiaoyi?"
Yue Jiuling was feeling down about being a single cat at her age when Xiaobaicai asked her this question, and she immediately felt embarrassed.
"Oh, little cabbage, you guessed right, we're all a bunch of poor souls without partners..."
Bai Xinyu also pretended to cry, throwing herself onto Yue Jiuling's back and sobbing:
"Oh dear, I'm so pitiful! I'm hundreds of years old and still a single cat. It's so tragic, sob sob sob~~"
Yue Jiuling also cried back to Bai Xinyu with exaggerated acting, and the two looked like they were about to have a good cry together.
At this moment, Ye Dongfeng, who was standing to the side, finally couldn't hold back any longer. He walked over to Xiaobaicai, pulled her along, and led her in the direction of their hiding place. After they reached the other side, he said:
"Little cabbage, don't hang out with these lunatics, or it'll affect your IQ."
Hidden also said, "Let's hurry up. We're all single, but these women are so crazy. You should stay away from them."
Little Cabbage couldn't help but laugh at their words, while Yue Jiuling and Bai Xinyu, neither of them were the type to act, immediately glared at them with displeasure:
"What do you mean by this? Why are you resorting to personal attacks? Is there no such thing as colleague friendship?"
"Exactly, how can you call us crazy? We're perfectly normal."
Even Mu Xiaoyi, who had just completely crushed everyone, had something to say: "That's going too far! Just say what you want to say without any sexism. What's wrong with us women? Are you looking down on us?!"
Yue Jiuling rolled up her sleeves, looking ready to fight. She said fiercely, "Exactly, and with that gender-based attack, do you want to fight?"
Seeing that they had really angered their men, Ye Dongfeng and his companions panicked and begged for mercy repeatedly.
"No, no, that's not what we meant, it's a misunderstanding."
"Oh dear, we were wrong, we were wrong..."
Three women in the office cornered three men against the wall, and it looked like a brawl was about to break out. Xiao Baicai, feeling innocent and not wanting to participate in this group activity, quickly raised his hands, trying to squeeze out of the encirclement. He shouted in a panicked gesture of surrender:
"Wait, everyone calm down, don't attack! And I'm innocent, please let me go..."
Actually, everyone was just joking and wouldn't really fight. They usually like to play around like this, but when they saw Xiaobaicai's funny appearance, they all made up immediately and had no intention of fighting anymore.
Yue Jiuling said with amusement, "Alright, stop fooling around, you've scared Xiaobaicai."
Ye Dongfeng also put his arm around Xiaobaicai's neck and said cheerfully, "What are you afraid of? You don't really think we're going to fight, do you? How can you be so easily fooled? We're just joking around, haha."
Actually, when Xiaobaicai saw everyone looking so fierce, he really thought they were going to fight. But now he realized it was a joke, and he said with a helpless expression:
"You all scared me. I thought you were really going to fight."
Bai Xinyu said with a laugh, "No way, we were obviously joking! You couldn't even tell? This child is so cute! Hahaha~"
Seeing Xiaobaicai's innocent expression, Yinni patted him on the shoulder and said, "Hey, it seems this child is too naive. We mustn't bully him."
"Haha~ It's so cute."
"Achoo!"
Ya Zi, who was leaning against the window enjoying the breeze, suddenly felt a bit chilly. He suspected he might have caught a cold, so he closed the window and went back to bed.
