Li Baobei has finally experienced working from home.
Aside from going to the toilet, I basically lived a life where food was served to me and clothes were put on my plate.
When He Ji came home from get off work, he would only talk about work-related issues with Li Baobei while having dinner; the two were like roommates.
Speak only when necessary, otherwise remain silent, the atmosphere so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Li Baobei sat at the computer, touching her increasingly large belly, and couldn't help but sigh.
I'm eating nothing but oily and greasy food every day, and I feel like I'm going to break out in pimples. If this continues, I'll get fatter and fatter. "No way!"
"I must talk to He Ji about this today."
She finally mustered up the courage to open her chat history with He Ji. The two had only chatted a handful of times, and they were all work-related conversations.
"This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend time together," she said, propping her chin up with one hand and staring blankly at the screen.
What is He Ji doing?
Although the two lived in the same house, they rarely saw each other. He You would sometimes come home earlier, but they could only see each other during mealtimes.
Because of the cast on her foot, Li Baobei doesn't go downstairs very often.
"...Never mind~"
Let's talk about it another time!
"I'd better go for a walk to digest my food; I can't sit all day." She reached for her cane and went outside.
As soon as I stepped outside, I glanced at He Ji's room; the door was tightly shut.
He Ji's room is at the end of the second floor, about ten meters away from Li Baobei's room.
"..."
Li Baobei hopped downstairs on one foot. Just as she reached the middle of the stairs, He Ji's door opened. She looked up and their eyes met.
Li Baobei laughed heartily and called out, "What a coincidence! He Ji, haha~"
He Ji's eyes were cold, yet they concealed a turbulent undercurrent. He replied calmly, "Unfortunately!"
He sat silently in his room, staring at the computer, wanting to send her a message, but everything he sent seemed too abrupt. Finally, he heard someone coming downstairs and came out.
He Ji slowly walked towards her, "Where are you going?" In the blink of an eye, he was already standing in front of her.
"I just went down for a walk," Li Baobei replied softly, her head down.
He Ji always dressed casually and lazily at home, like a character straight out of an anime. Li Baobei dared not look at him anymore, afraid that she would fall in love with him.
They are from different worlds and are destined not to be together...
"I'll take you there." After saying that, He Ji carried Li Baobei straight downstairs and walked to the backyard.
Li Baobei gripped her crutches tightly, letting him hold her; she seemed to be increasingly indulging in his embrace.
Upon seeing the rose bushes, Li Baobei quickly said, "He Ji, I'd like to take a walk here."
"good."
He Ji stopped and carefully placed her on the ground.
Li Baobei, leaning on her cane, walked towards the rose bushes. She raised a hand, gently plucked a bright red rose, and smelled it. "It smells so good!"
Her eyes sparkled as she looked at the rose. "It's so beautiful, I almost don't want to pick it."
He Ji sat down in the pavilion next to him in silence, watching the person among the flowers. "Does she like roses?"
She turned her head, raised her beautiful eyes, and looked at He Ji, saying, "He Ji, these roses are so beautiful. Do you like roses?"
He You looked into her eyes, which were like a deep lake, clear and bright, and every glance from her could deeply touch his heart.
Today, she wore a white dress, swaying gracefully like a joyful butterfly dancing among the flowers.
She is beautiful, there's no doubt about that.
"I……"
“I really like roses. They represent sincerity, passion, and romance…” Li Baobei said with a smile before He Ji could speak.
“He Ji, have you ever heard a saying?” She continued to look up at him.
He Ji: "What?"
She smiled gently, "The roses were stolen, but my love for you is real."
"I used to really enjoy that movie, He Ji, have you seen it?"
...
He felt as if he had been struck by a powerful electric current, as warm and gentle as the spring sunshine. He knew that it was the feeling of being moved.
He Ji quickly looked away, afraid that she would see the panic in his eyes, and replied softly, "Mm."
Li Baobei slowly walked to the chair next to He You and sat down, feeling quite good.
As the sun slowly sets, it paints the sky a golden hue, and a gentle evening breeze brings a sense of tranquility and beauty.
"He Ji, how long will it take to remove the cast from my foot?" She blinked and looked at He Ji.
He Ji suppressed his inner panic and said calmly, "The doctor said it will take at least half a month."
"Ah~ that took so long!" Li Baobei leaned back in her chair, her beautiful eyes slightly furrowed, and said to him, "He Ji, I want to go home."
"Isn't it good for you to be here?" He Ji's tone turned colder, and his eyes dimmed slightly.
Unaware of her mistake, she continued, "It's all good, but you're so good to me, I don't know how to repay you..."
"us……"
He Ji interrupted, "I just don't want you to fall behind at work. You can work here, just think of it as working from home. I don't mean anything else."
His tone was cold, which Li Baobei could clearly sense. She looked up at his face, and it seemed that he truly had no emotion left. "But, I..."
“There are no buts. You can leave once your leg heals. I can’t just stand by and watch you get injured, what do you say?” He Ji said expressionlessly, staring at her with cold eyes.
