"That's what I'm saying, but something feels off."
Wan Ge waved her hand helplessly: "You're overthinking it. Don't think so much."
Zhong Lingling gave a soft "oh," handed the documents in her hand to Wan Ge, and then prepared to leave work.
Just as she turned around, Wan Ge suddenly spoke again.
"Did you buy the house across the street from you as well?"
Zhong Lingling stopped and turned around, her face still showing a dejected expression, and she spoke weakly, "Yeah, what's wrong?"
"How about you sell me the house across the street?"
"Why did you suddenly buy it?" Zhong Lingling asked, puzzled. Wan Ge didn't lack houses, and she also had a house near the company, which she lived in. Was she tired of living there and wanted to move to a new house?
“My younger brother just returned to China and doesn’t have a place to live, so I was thinking of buying him a new house.” Wan Ge had a faint smile on her face, but her eyes showed determination.
Upon hearing what the other party said, Zhong Lingling's expression instantly lit up: "Sure, shall we go and complete the formalities now?"
"We're off work now, how about tomorrow morning?" This "off work" doesn't mean Wan Ge and her colleagues are off work; all the relevant business staff are off work.
Zhong Lingling obediently nodded and answered "ok". But unlike her previous dejected state, she was much more energetic and her steps on the way home were much lighter.
Xiao Shuyu finally understood what was going on and looked at Wan Ge with some surprise: "Your friend likes your younger brother?"
"Yes, isn't it obvious?" The other party's behavior was too obvious. The original owner originally wanted to pretend to be blind, but the other party was so obvious that it was impossible to pretend not to understand.
Just when she didn't know what to do, she suddenly discovered that her younger brother seemed to have different feelings for Zhong Lingling.
However, he was preparing to go abroad at that time, so the original owner didn't plan to do anything.
She was just trying to prevent her best friend from falling in love with someone else, so she would try to arrange for the two of them to meet when Xu Qingzhao returned to China during winter and summer vacations.
Although neither of the parties involved seemed to realize it, he, as an outsider, had already seen through everything and was quietly trying to bring them together.
Xiao Shuyu also understood why Wan Ge did this. It must be because Xu Qingzhao also had some feelings for Zhong Lingling. But why did Zhong Lingling seem completely unaware of this?
"Are they both unaware that they like each other?" Xiao Shuyu asked again.
Wan Ge was somewhat surprised that the other person had figured it out so early: "You actually figured it out?"
Xiao Shuyu nodded: "I just think that my sister wouldn't just set Qingzhao up like that. If my sister did that, it must be because they both like each other."
Otherwise, even if she wanted to bring the two together, she wouldn't do it this way. At most, she would let them get to know each other and see if they liked each other.
Now that Wange has arranged for them to be neighbors, isn't that obvious? If they didn't like each other, Wange would never have done that.
"That's clever. Come on, we're off work now. We're off work early today, is there anything you'd like to eat?"
Xiao Shuyu then spoke up, "I have a dish I'd like to cook, but I don't know if you'd like to eat it, sister."
"I'll eat whatever you cook."
Before Xiao Shuyu came to his company, he was studying cooking skills and now he's really good at it.
Xu Qingzhao did not expect that her sister would bring the key in for her the next day.
The next day, just after he got off work at noon, Wan Ge appeared in his office again.
Because Xiao Shuyu had to attend class, she didn't stay with Wan Ge.
Xu Qingzhao said she had graduated, but in reality she had taken graduation photos and submitted her thesis. However, for most students, it wasn't yet the winter or summer vacation.
Wan Ge placed the key on his desk, told him the address, and said that everything was ready inside and he could just check in.
Just as Wan Ge left, someone in the department who was about the same age as Xu Qingzhao and got along better with her said, "As expected of an elite, President Xu even personally arranged accommodation for you."
Xu Qingzhao chuckled at his words, then looked at him and replied, "She's my sister, my own sister. That's why she arranged accommodation for me."
The other person paused for a moment, then belatedly realized that the two shared the same surname. Wait a minute! They're siblings? Come to think of it, they do look somewhat alike.
"You, you, you! This company..."
"Yes, this company belongs to our family, and I also have some shares."
"Brother, you're my brother, my own brother! Your thigh is right beside me!" As the man spoke, the caller ID displayed the word "wife".
His wife was back from her business trip and wanted to ask him what he wanted to eat for dinner. "I'll eat whatever you want, I like everything you like."
Then he turned back and made a goodbye gesture to Xu Qingzhao, who quickly understood and nodded.
Seeing the other person's mouth almost stretched to their ears in a wide grin, is being in a relationship really that exciting just from answering a phone call?
…
In the afternoon, Xu Qingzhao took the key and prepared to head to her new home, but no matter how she tried, the key wouldn't open correctly.
Just then, the door opened from the inside, and he saw that face again, the one that made his heart beat strangely.
Zhong Lingling looked at the person in front of her with a smile in her eyes, then pointed to the door opposite: "Your home is over there."
Xu Qingzhao's eyes instantly showed a hint of panic, and her hand holding the key trembled slightly: "Oh...oh...I understand, thank you."
Then she quickly walked to the other side. Zhong Lingling thought the other person was so cute.
This time, Xu Qingzhao opened the door quickly, went inside, and closed it, breathing heavily as she leaned against it.
His mind screamed in despair: How could she be here? They saw each other so often at work that he didn't want to leave his office, and now she lived across the hall from him.
wrong!
Xu Qingzhao seemed to have an idea. As her sister's best friend, her sister must know where she lived.
So, did her sister ask her to find this place for her? Oh my god! How could this happen? Did her sister betray her?
But neither her older sister nor Lingling knew about these things. She even asked him why he was avoiding her. What should he say?
If I tell her that my heart beats strangely when I see her, will she be angry?
Xu Qingzhao was actually very clear about her own feelings. She was afraid to see him but also wanted to see him. Even though she felt uncomfortable, she sometimes couldn't help but steal a glance at him, but she would immediately stop when she met his gaze.
What was he supposed to do? He was in a really tough spot.
…
Xu Qingzhao calmed herself down for a while before slowly standing up and looking around her current residence.
The furniture is almost all new, and the overall decor has a warm tone, making it feel like home.
