I had just walked out of the office building when I suddenly heard a familiar voice behind me.
"Yao Yao!"
I turned around and was surprised to see Pei Chenyi.
He was dressed in casual clothes today, looking sunny and handsome.
I couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing here?"
Pei Chenyi raised his phone in his hand and said, "Waiting for you to finish work."
I was slightly taken aback. "Why are you waiting for me to finish work?"
Pei Chenyi blinked at me. "Don't you think we look alike?"
I was stunned again. "In what way do we look alike?"
Pei Chenyi pointed to himself and then to me. "We're both dumped, sharing the same plight."
I was speechless.
"So? What do you want from me by waiting for me to finish work?"
Pei Chenyi sighed. "We're both pitiful people who got dumped; why not just make do with each other?"
I couldn't help but facepalm. "Who got dumped? Stop talking nonsense!"
Pei Chenyi shrugged. "Then why are you standing here alone, lost in thought?"
I paused for a moment before realizing that I had indeed been daydreaming.
But I was thinking about Qin Jin, not about being dumped.
Of course, I wouldn't tell Pei Chenyi that.
"I was just thinking about work; don't jump to conclusions."
Pei Chenyi, however, wasn't going to let it go that easily. "What kind of work makes you think about it even after finishing? I bet you got dumped."
I was instantly exasperated. "You're the one who got dumped!"
Pei Chenyi suddenly reached up to touch his nose and said, "Alright, even if I've been dumped, will you accompany me to the business cocktail party?"
I was slightly taken aback and couldn't help but look at Pei Chenyi. Was he asking me to pretend to be his girlfriend?
Seeing that I wasn't responding, Pei Chenyi frowned and asked, "You don't want to go, do you?"
I snapped back to reality and shook my head. "No, it's just that I think you..."
Before I could finish my sentence, my phone suddenly rang. It was Du Mei calling.
"Hey, Xiaoyao, what are you doing?"
I sighed. "Nothing much, just getting ready to head home. How about you?"
Du Mei was silent for a moment before speaking. "I just got dumped."
"What?"
I was stunned. Hadn't Du Mei and Zhang Qiang been together for a while? How could they break up so suddenly?
Du Mei continued, "That jerk Zhang Qiang dared to date another woman behind my back. I caught him red-handed and immediately broke up with him."
I was instantly furious. "How could he do that? Where are you now?"
Du Mei sighed again. "I'm at home. Can you come over and keep me company tonight?"
I nodded. "Sure, wait for me a moment; I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, I noticed Pei Chenyi looking at me with sympathy.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
Pei Chenyi sighed. "It seems your friend has also been dumped. Why don't you accompany her to the business cocktail party with me?"
I couldn't help but frown. "Why do you insist on having me accompany you to the business cocktail party?"
Pei Chenyi blinked. "Because I want you to pretend to be my girlfriend."
I was instantly speechless. "Dream on!"
Pei Chenyi chuckled. "If you don't want to go, how about I accompany you to see your friend instead?"
"Will you accompany me to find Du Mei?"
I was taken aback for a moment, then realized that Pei Chenyi's friend, Zhang Qiang, is Du Mei's ex-boyfriend.
If Pei Chenyi is willing to help, then Du Mei might be able to move on from the shadow of her breakup sooner.
"Alright then, you can come with me to find Du Mei."
Pei Chenyi smiled in satisfaction, "Then it's settled."
