The next day, I went to work as usual. During lunch, Qin Jin sat down across from me with a tray. I was startled and quickly said, "Manager Qin." Qin Jin replied lightly, "Let's eat." I nodded, not daring to look at him, and buried my head in my meal. Halfway through, Qin Jin suddenly spoke up, "You've been performing well at work lately." I was taken aback for a moment and then said, "Thank you for the compliment, Manager Qin." Qin Jin smiled slightly, "No need to thank me; it's what you deserve." I smiled back and didn't say anything more.
After finishing my meal, I prepared to return to the counter when Qin Jin suddenly called out to me. I was puzzled and asked, "Manager Qin, is there something else?" Qin Jin smiled and said, "Nothing much; I just wanted to remind you not to overwork yourself and to take care of your rest." I was surprised for a moment and then nodded, "I understand. Thank you for your concern, Manager Qin." Qin Jin smiled again, "You're welcome." I nodded at him and then turned to leave.
When I got home that evening, Pei Chenyi sent me a message on WeChat. "Yao Yao, did Manager Qin look for you again today?" I was surprised and asked, "How did you know?" Pei Chenyi replied, "I guessed." I was speechless and said, "You're quite clever." Pei Chenyi responded, "Of course! If I'm not clever, who is?"
I smiled and didn't say much more.
...
In the blink of an eye, six months had passed.
During this time, my relationship with Pei Chenyi had become increasingly close.
Sometimes, we would chat together, have meals together, and go shopping together.
Although we weren't officially together, everyone around us could tell that we had feelings for each other.
Even Du Mei noticed that our relationship was different from usual.
One day, Du Mei called me out and asked, "Yao Yao, are you and Pei Chenyi together?"
I quickly shook my head, "No."
Du Mei blinked, "Really? But I've seen you two together a lot lately."
I blushed, "We're just friends."
Du Mei smiled, "Don't lie to me; I know you like him."
I was shocked, "How did you know?"
Du Mei chuckled, "You're my best friend; how could I not know about your matters?"
I blushed again, "Am I that obvious?"
Du Mei nodded, "Yeah, very obvious."
I sighed helplessly, "But he has someone in his heart."
Du Mei looked puzzled, "Someone? Who is it?"
I shook my head, "I don't know."
Du Mei thought for a moment and said, "I think you should just ask him directly."
I hesitated, "Is that okay?"
Du Mei nodded, "Of course! If you don't ask clearly, you'll regret it."
I thought about it and felt that Du Mei made a good point.
So, I decided to ask Pei Chenyi for clarification.
The next day, I went to find Pei Chenyi.
When he saw me, he smiled and said, "Yao Yao, what brings you here?"
I looked at him and said, "I have something I want to ask you."
He raised an eyebrow and asked, "What is it?"
I hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is there someone in your heart?"
He was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and replied, "Yes."
I bit my lip and asked, "Who is that person?"
He looked at me with deep eyes and asked, "Do you really want to know?"
I nodded, "I really want to know."
He was silent for a while before saying, "Alright, I'll tell you."
I watched him nervously.
He slowly began to speak: "That person..."
I held my breath.
He smiled slightly and said, "It's you."
I was stunned for a moment and then my eyes turned red.
Seeing me cry, he immediately panicked and said, "Hey, don't cry."
I looked at him and asked, "Is everything you said true?"
He nodded, "Of course it's true."
I couldn't help but smile.
He laughed as well and said, "Silly girl."
