He made an apologetic gesture towards me and then answered the phone.
"Hello? Oh, President Chen, hello, hello... Yes, yes, I know, I know. Don't worry, I will handle things here as soon as possible and won't delay the Anniversary Celebration... Okay, goodbye."
...
After hanging up the phone, Pei Chenyi sighed.
"What's wrong?" I asked.
"It's the mall's owner," Pei Chenyi rubbed his forehead. "He wants me to sort things out here quickly so it doesn't affect the Anniversary Celebration."
"..."
I fell silent for a moment and comforted him, "Don't worry too much; what's done is done. We can only try to fix it."
Pei Chenyi nodded, "I know."
...
I looked at Pei Chenyi and felt a bit sad inside.
The once proud him has now been worn down by reality.
I had to admit that this incident hit him hard.
Although he usually acted as if nothing was wrong, I knew he must be in a lot of pain inside.
I wanted to give him more support, not just as his partner at work but also as someone he could rely on in life.
But I didn't know if he would be willing to accept my goodwill.
...
Pei Chenyi noticed my gaze and looked up to meet my eyes.
"Yao Yao, what's wrong?" he asked in confusion.
"..."
I averted my gaze and tried to calm myself, "It's nothing."
...
For a while after that, both Pei Chenyi and I were busy with work and never mentioned what happened that day again.
But I sensed that something seemed to have changed between us.
What exactly had changed, I couldn't say for sure.
All I knew was that I was increasingly worried about him and wanted to see him more.
No matter where I went or what I did, I would think of him.
I didn't know if this was what it meant to like someone.
But I knew that I didn't want to lose him.
After receiving a WeChat reply from Pei Chenyi, I hesitated for a long time but ultimately decided to go see him.
After work, I bought takeout and milk tea and arrived at his doorstep.
"Ding dong, ding dong."
I pressed the doorbell and waited for a while, but no one answered.
"Ding dong, ding dong."
I pressed it a few more times, yet still no one opened the door.
What was going on?
Was Pei Chenyi not home?
Confused, I took out my phone and was about to call him when the door finally opened.
Pei Chenyi stood at the door, looking at me with an awkward expression.
"Yao Yao, what are you doing here?"
"..."
I looked at him speechlessly.
Could this guy really not know that I came to see him?
"I sent you a message yesterday; you said you were fine, so I wanted to come check on you," I said.
"..."
Pei Chenyi awkwardly smiled: "My parents came over yesterday, and I had them tidy up a bit before I dared to open the door for you."
"..."
I was surprised: "You weren't just cleaning up, were you?"
"No," Pei Chenyi scratched his head, "I was changing clothes."
"..."
I was even more surprised: "Why were you changing clothes?"
Pei Chenyi blinked: "I didn't want you to see me looking messy."
"..."
I looked at him helplessly.
Was this guy really this cute?
...
I entered Pei Chenyi's apartment, placed the takeout and milk tea on the dining table, and then started getting busy.
Pei Chenyi watched me from the side: "Yao Yao, what are you doing?"
"Cooking."
"Can you still cook?"
"Yeah."
I nodded.
I am usually too busy with work to cook for myself, but my cooking skills are actually quite good.
...
Soon, I prepared three dishes and a soup and brought them to the table.
I sat down with Pei Chenyi and we began to eat.
"How is it?" I looked at him expectantly.
"It's delicious," he praised without hesitation.
"..."
I smiled.
I really enjoy cooking for him, and I love watching him eat the meals I prepare.
This feeling is warm and happy.
...
After finishing the meal, I cleaned up the dishes while Pei Chenyi sat on the sofa watching me.
"Yao Yao, thank you," he said.
"..."
I sighed, "What are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you for coming to see me and for helping me cook."
"..."
I paused for a moment and quietly said, "Actually, I should be thanking you."
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for taking the blame for me and enduring so much criticism and attacks."
"..."
