At three o’clock in the afternoon, a noisy voice came from the door. Three large men were holding cake and milk tea in their hands, which seemed a little sudden.
“I’m sorry, ladies. Our boss said that at noon, moving things had disturbed you all. We brought you guys these to apologize.”
The man walking in front was wearing a plaid shirt, and he specially raised the bag high with his hand, and a handsome young man in the back who was wearing a hoodie had already begun to give out the cake to everyone.
“We just moved to the floor above you, and we’re game developers. In the future, we’ll be neighbors, so it’d be best if we had a friendly relationship between us.”
“Ah, thank you, it must have cost you all a lot of money.”
“Yes, yes. In fact, it’s not noisy at noon, it’s not disturbing at all.”
When there was food, people who complained about the excessive amount of noise from upstairs at noon, now made polite remarks with smiles. A few brave women even went up to ask for their WeChat contacts.
As it was said, they were getting more familiar with their neighbors.
Finally, the young man in red came in with a pink paper box in his hand. He walked directly to Xu Riyuan and squinted at her. While speaking, he didn’t forget to wink at her mischievously: “Yuanyuan, this is what Chang He specially bought for you. Please accept it.”
They specifically said the name, as if scared that she would not accept it.
Xu Riyuan changed her posture, leaned back against the armchair, and reached for it, showing her standard professional smile. But her eyes were fixed upon at the man with the mushroom hairstyle, who was in a suit and at the door: “Then really, I’ll give my thanks to your boss.”
Chang He had been leaning against the door of the magazine room. Seeing Xu Riyuan look at him, his index and middle finger pressed together, and he gently touched them against his forehead and turned to go upstairs.
He seriously took every chance he could to pretend to he was handsome. Just because he took a few sips of western ink, he was already like a flaunting peacock.
Editor’s note: Essentially, it’s just like saying: “You have two coins, but you’re already acting as if you’re rich.”
If Xu Riyuan were to determine how Chang He was to die, then she would accordingly state that he would die out of sexually harassing others.
A sharp-eyed female colleague saw Chang He at the door and grabbed onto the young man’s sleeve: “Is that your boss at the door? He really has a masculine aura. “
“Exactly. Usually, people who aren’t good-looking and have shaved inch heads and earrings would look greasy, but your boss looks sexy in such.”
“Hahaha, I also think that your boss is pretty masculine.”
The young man in the red hoodie scratched his head and laughed foolishly. His white teeth shocked ones’ eyes.
“Ah, Yuanyuan, how do you know such a handsome guy? He especially brought you a separate piece: black sugar milk tea and a Matcha cheesecake… He knows your preferences.”
As soon as this was said, everyone’s eyes at Xu Riyuan became more ambiguous.
“Yuanyuan, opportunity waits for no one.”
At half past five, Xu Riyuan was preparing to leave the company. During rush hour, the elevator was full of people.
Xu Riyuan was pushed into an extreme corner, next to Chang He in the elevator. At their present distance, they could kiss each other as soon as she looked up.
Bah, what was she thinking? Mother to fetus solos like her shouldn’t be this hungry.
Editor’s note: A mother to fetus solo is someone who has been single since birth and has never been in love.
Chang He saw that Xu Riyuan was quite uncomfortable being squeezed, and raised his hand and held it in front of her. The elevator door opened, and a group of people entered, and then Chang He’s hand was pushed down onto Xu Riyuan’s waist.
Upon the first moment her waist was touched, Xu Riyuan felt goosebumps all over her body and constantly motioned at Chang He, with her eyes, to move his hand away. But the man pretended to be stupid and even pushed forward, putting his arms around her waist.
There were too many people in the elevator, so it was not easy to move. As soon as they reached the first floor, Xu Riyuan shook off his hand and didn’t forget to step on him with her heels.
Chang He could only bear with it, laughing helplessly, before catching up with her: “I didn’t know that so many people would enter the elevator so suddenly. I didn’t mean to do it.”
“Don’t talk to me.”
When she reached the parking lot, Xu Riyuan remembered that her car had been sent for maintenance two days ago and hadn’t returned back. This morning, she had come here by bus.
Chang He seemed to notice her problem and unlocked his car’s side door: “Come on.”
Thinking that since she had already been touched, (no), it wasn’t like she would lose a piece of meat if she was on his car. So she got onto the car with a peaceful mind and tied her seatbelt neatly.
“What do you want for dinner?” While he waited for the gap between the traffic lights, Chang He reached out to open the storage box in front of the seat, “There’s a bit of traffic. If you’re hungry, eat some to fill your stomach first.”
In front of her were colorful snack bags, and Xu Riyuan was spineless in front of the temptation of food. She then ripped open a package of fried beef and began to eat.
Its taste was actually quite good.
“Was the afternoon tea appetizing?”
The man pretended to mention it casually, and his eyes didn’t look her way. As soon as the green light appeared, the car continued on the road.
“It wasn’t bad at all, thank you.”
There was an old saying that cannibals had short mouths. Xu Riyuan, at this moment, could not say anything that was mean, and her voice was soft like a kitten.
Editor’s note: Cannibals have short mouths basically means, if you benefit from someone else, you have to be polite and accomplish something for them.
The man spoke to her in a low, sexy voice: “It’s good that you like it .” ”
Xu Riyuan’s heart actually thumped faster for a moment.
The car smoothly entered the garage, and Chang He unbuckled his seatbelt and asked: “Will you come to my home for dinner tonight? The hot pot I make doesn’t taste bad.”
At first, Xu Riyuan wanted to reject his invitation, but after hearing the word “hot pot,” she immediately agreed. Apart from sweets, her favorite food was hot pot.
“I need to go back and change my clothes.” Xu Riyuan said. Then, she asked at the end, “Do you need me to bring anything over?”
“Just bring yourself, and that’s enough.”
Chang He raised his hand and wiped the corners of Xu Riyuan’s mouth, where the residues of beef jerky had just remained.
It was very soft, and he didn’t know how it would feel like to kiss it.
Xu Riyuan, who ate tofu for the 108th time, then took a deep breath and left her car carrying a bag with the sound of her high heels stepping on the ground.
“3702, come straight up.”
Xu Riyuan returned home with a sullen face, not even thinking about hugging her cat. She removed her makeup and changed into a t-shirt and trousers, and then pulled her hair into a small bun, before going outside to ponder and hug her cat.
Despite anger, hot pot couldn’t not be eaten.
Touching the door with the number Chang He had given her, she smelled the strong scent of chili peppers reaching the door, followed by a noisy voice.
“Double Q”
“Don’t want it.”
“Double A.”
“You silently hid that card, pass.”
“Then, I’m sorry bros, I’ll first take a step.”
“The loser has to drink wine.”
In the living room, three large men sat cross-legged on the ground, playing poker with several stickers on their faces and a few cans of beer, melon seeds, and squid sticks on the coffee table.
The young man who was closest to the door raised his head. Unsurprisingly, his tone was very familiar: “Yuanyuan, you came. Do you want to play cards? Four people can play double buckles.”
Then came the young man in red who was there in the afternoon. He was still wearing that red hoodie and had a straw in his mouth: “Otherwise, we can play mahjong.”
Thinking that she hadn’t played mahjong in a long time, her hands inevitably felt a little itchy, and Xu Riyuan didn’t think and sat down. Then, after the first round, she knew everyone.
The one in the plaid shirt was called Qi Xiuyuan, the handsome one in the sweater was called Peng Fei, and the one in the red hoodie was called Hu Lelin. They were all natives of Lucheng and had all just graduated from university and gone to Chang He’s studio. Strictly speaking, Xu Riyuan was their alumni.
“Sis, we all learned programming in university, so how come you went to a fashion company and not a technology one? You have no makeup on, yet you are so good-looking. Wearing a sack on your body is like wearing a famous brand.”
“Who knows? Maybe my fate just doesn’t align with the profession of a computer programmer.”
At university, Xu Riyuan had the lowest score that got accepted into Lu University’s computer department. On every test, she always received 60 points, but that was only under the guidance of Chang He.
Speaking of it lost her dignity.
“You came?”
Soundlessly, Chang He came out of the kitchen with a gray apron around his waist and a bowl of red strawberries in his hand. Then, he naturally fed Xu Riyuan a strawberry, and the juice overflowed inside her mouth.
Xu Riyuan was thinking too much about the strawberry inside her mouth. Hence, she did not pay attention to the other. Seeing the other three people look at her in the eyes, she thought that she had accidentally gotten an extra card.
But what she did not know was that Chang He had long given these three ideological work. They did not say a word but smiled.
Hu Lelin did not think that it was enough, so he then added another sentence:
“Yuanyuan, sis, you don’t have to explain, we get you.”
