As soon as the words were spoken, all eyes were directed towards Li Nishang.
Li Nishang squinted her eyes and said coquettishly: "Yes, and no."
Everyone laughed and asked her if she wanted to marry a leisurely and elegant immortal in heaven or a supreme emperor in ancient times, and whether she needed to ask the goddess Nuwa to make one for her.
Li Nishang smiled softly, her eyes full of confidence and pride.
"I am a natural perfectionist. Unless the man is one I am truly satisfied with, I would rather be an old maid than marry - I would rather be single than marry someone who is not my ideal."
A female colleague joked: "What kind of man can satisfy you? You have to explain it clearly, otherwise Goddess Nuwa might make the wrong choice!"
"Yes, yes! Do you like the type of Gu Qigong master?"
Li Nishang shook her head: "He's not good enough. He's pretty good-looking, but he's a little too cold. I don't want to face a lover with a cold face all day long. It's uncomfortable just thinking about it. Besides, he already has a wife, why should I like him? I'm a mysophobe."
"What about Section Chief Guo? He has a good appearance, a good family background, and a promising future - good enough, right?"
Li Nishang smiled shyly: "He is not good enough. Everything else is OK, but he is not tall enough and his appearance is just average."
"Oh! Section Chief Guo is not bad! How can he be ordinary? To be honest, no one can compare to Gu Qi in terms of appearance. He is tall and handsome, with an imposing manner. There are very few people as good-looking as him."
"Yes! If he hadn't married at such a young age, who knows how many young girls he would have harmed!"
Li Nishang shook her head: "Anyway, that person's height and appearance don't meet my requirements. As for me, I still say the same thing - I would rather be without than with something less than perfect."
The female colleagues each took their lunch boxes and walked out while chatting and laughing.
Li Nishang turned around to get her bag, her steps lagging behind.
"Ni Ni!" Guo Shijing strode over from the other end of the corridor, wearing military-colored suit pants and a shirt, holding two large aluminum lunch boxes in his hands, and said with a smile: "I've prepared food for you! There are chicken legs today!"
Li Nishang stopped.
The female colleagues in front heard it one after another, and left with laughter.
Guo Shijing was obviously used to it. He raised his eyebrows generously and turned to look at Li Nishang with a doting look in his eyes.
"Didn't I tell you? I can just get you food at noon. You don't have to go to the cafeteria and squeeze with a bunch of people. With me here, why do you need to go to the cafeteria and queue up with a bunch of people?"
When he went to the cafeteria, he didn't queue up. He just squeezed to the front with his lunch box.
When the people in the queue saw that it was him, they politely stepped aside to let him go first.
He raised his chin proudly and said with a smile: "Look! The best food in the cafeteria is now in our house!"
Li Nishang looked at his eyes which were almost level with hers and couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
Guo Shijing was indeed quite good, and his family background was quite different from hers. His father was a factory director, and her father was a school principal, and their respective families had a certain influence in Yucheng.
In addition, Guo Shijing took great care of her, and she was the only one in his heart and eyes. He obeyed her in everything and would immediately put whatever she wanted in front of her.
However, his appearance was too ordinary, especially his height, which was only about 1.6 meters at most, just a little taller than her.
"What's so delicious about chicken legs?" Li Nishang turned around and walked back into the office. "You know I like chicken wings."
Guo Shijing smiled apologetically and followed her inside.
"There are only a few chickens in the cafeteria today. The chicken wings look too small and there isn't much meat. Eat the drumsticks first, and I'll buy you chicken wings later!"
Li Nishang glanced at him, pulled out a chair and sat down angrily.
"You make me eat something I don't like. But I have to wait for something I like. Is there nothing that tastes just right? Why is there nothing that is just right?"
If he was more handsome and taller, maybe she would have agreed without hesitation. But there is no such thing as perfect in the world.
Seeing her mumbling something, Guo Shijing moved closer with a smile.
"What's wrong? What are you whispering about?"
Li Nishang glared at him with disdain, and pushed him away with her beautiful hand.
"What? Didn't I tell you? Stay one foot away from me and don't get too close!"
Guo Shijing felt very aggrieved and whispered: "Others are others, I am me, I am different from others."
"Who told you they're different?" Li Nishang took out her chopsticks and lazily poked the big chicken drumstick on the top of the lunch box. "In my eyes, you're the same as them."
Guo Shijing was stunned when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Ni Ni, you said we have been together for more than a year, do you have to keep rejecting me like this? If it were someone else, they would have been married and even pregnant long ago."
"Bah!" Li Nishang blushed and said coquettishly, "What nonsense are you talking about! Why change to someone else? Are you with another woman? Go earlier, don't get in my way here!"
Guo Shijing shook his head repeatedly: "No! No! Where did other women come from! You are the only one in my eyes and heart - only you!"
Li Nishang picked up the dishes and ate slowly, while Guo Shijing, who was standing beside her, talked to her about interesting things in the factory while eating, his eyes full of obsession and doting.
"Nini, I bought two movie tickets." Guo Shijing said with a smile: "This weekend, let's go to the movies in the morning, have dinner after the movie, and then I'll take you boating."
Li Nishang shook her head without even thinking: "No."
Guo Shijing smiled bitterly and asked, "Why don't you want to do that? How about you just tell me what to do. You tell me what we should do, and I'll take you there. I'll do whatever you say."
Li Nishang just ate by herself and ignored him.
Guo Shijing knew that she was going to ignore him again, and he couldn't help but feel a little tired.
"Nichang, everyone in the factory knows how I feel about you. Even others know it clearly. You can't always pretend that you know nothing."
Li Nishang replied coldly: "What if I know, what if I don't know, it's still the same."
"Then..." Guo Shijing frowned and asked anxiously, "Then there must be some progress, right? You see, I have been pursuing you for more than a year. I have been writing love poems and letters to you since you entered the factory. I help you with meals and dishes every day, and even pick you up after get off work. But you can't just not show me some appreciation, right?"
Li Nishang paused with the chopsticks in her hand and murmured involuntarily: "I...I didn't promise you."
Guo Shijing was stunned when he heard this. His face turned red with embarrassment and soon became gloomy.
"Why don't you agree? I've tried so hard, I almost plucked the moon from the sky for you - what else do you want me to do?"
There were indeed a lot of men inside and outside the factory who coveted Li Nishang, and even there were students from the high school department of Chongwen Middle School who wanted to pursue her.
He was confident that he was the best choice among all her suitors, no one else.
Guo Shijing's family was well-known in Chongqing, and wherever he went, people would respectfully call him "Mr. Guo". If his mother hadn't stopped him, the threshold of his house would have been trampled down by matchmakers.
No matter how attentive others were, he looked down on them all and only had a special liking for Li Nishang. He fell deeper and deeper in love with her, and he almost gave her his true heart.
Li Nishang lowered her head and ate in silence, feeling nervous and unsure about how to refuse more appropriately.
After all, Guo Shijing is Uncle Guo’s son, and the two families have always been on good terms, so they must not fall out because of their affairs.
"I...I don't want anything from you. Anyway, I can't promise you. In fact, I really can't promise you."
"Why?!" Guo Shijing asked angrily, "You can't agree? But I've been pursuing you for more than a year! If you didn't agree before, do you think you can still refuse now?"
