After sending Jijun back to the company, Li Xiaolu returned to her own office.
As soon as she arrived, Kyra came over and asked, "Where did you go just now?"
Li Xiaolu replied, "I met a friend."
Kyra looked at her and asked, "Is it a guy or a girl?"
Li Xiaolu: "..."
Kyra leaned in closer and whispered, "Is it that blind date you mentioned last time?"
Li Xiaolu nodded, "Yeah."
Kyra smiled and asked, "So, how was it? Did you feel anything?"
Li Xiaolu shook her head, "No."
Kyra sighed, "What are you planning to do then?"
Li Xiaolu said, "I've already turned him down."
Kyra responded, "That's good."
She paused for a moment and then asked, "By the way, how's the intern interview going?"
Li Xiaolu replied, "It's almost done."
Kyra smiled and said, "Then you won't be a newbie anymore."
Li Xiaolu laughed and said, "I wasn't a newbie to begin with."
Kyra chuckled and said, "Right."
After a moment of silence, she asked, "Have you told Emily yet?"
Li Xiaolu shook her head, "Not yet."
Kyra advised, "You should tell her sooner rather than later; it would be awkward if she puts you with the new interns."
Li Xiaolu nodded, "Yeah."
Kyra looked at her and asked, "Are you going to find her now?"
Li Xiaolu replied, "I'll go in a bit."
Kyra said, "Oh," and didn't say anything more.
After a while, she suddenly asked, "By the way, how are things with Zhou Xi now?"
Li Xiaolu paused for a moment and then smiled, "It's just like that."
Kyra smiled and said, "You all need to hurry up and not let Emily find out."
Li Xiaolu helplessly replied, "I know."
Kyra continued, "Don't blame me for not reminding you. If Emily finds out that you are dating in the office, it will definitely be bad for you."
Li Xiaolu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what to do."
Kyra patted her shoulder and said, "Alright, then you get back to work. I'm leaving."
Li Xiaolu responded with a soft "Mm."
...
As the evening approached and work was about to end, Li Xiaolu received a message from Jijun.
"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll pick you up."
Li Xiaolu jokingly replied, "How come you're so free every day? My boss is always scolding me."
Jijun responded, "Because my boss cares a lot about my personal life."
Li Xiaolu replied, "..."
Jijun continued, "Right now, he is most concerned about my marriage, so he wants me to hurry up."
Li Xiaolu responded, "..."
Jijun added, "My main job now is to pursue you."
Li Xiaolu replied, "..."
Kyra leaned in and mysteriously said, "I have something to tell you."
Li Xiaolu curiously asked, "What is it?"
Kyra said, "My ex-boyfriend wants to get back together with me."
Li Xiaolu responded, "..."
Kyra looked at Li Xiaolu and asked, "Do you know how outrageous he is?"
Li Xiaolu inquired, "What happened?"
Kyra began to vent about her ex-boyfriend, saying, "When we broke up, he transferred all the money away and left me with not even one bank card. And now he has the nerve to ask me to get back together? What does he think I am?"
Li Xiaolu exclaimed in surprise, "He took all your money?"
Kyra confirmed, "Yes!"
After a pause, she added, "But I didn't lose out; I've already earned back the money he took."
Li Xiaolu looked at her and asked, "So what are you thinking now?"
Kyra scoffed, "What can I think? Of course, I can't go back to him!"
Li Xiaolu inquired, "Did he come looking for you?"
Kyra replied, "He came to see me yesterday, but I couldn't be bothered to deal with him."
Li Xiaolu said, "You should still be careful."
Kyra nodded, "I know."
She paused and added, "I get annoyed just seeing him now."
Li Xiaolu smiled but remained silent.
Kyra continued, "You won't believe it; when he came to see me yesterday, he even brought a gift!"
Li Xiaolu asked curiously, "What did he give you?"
Kyra said, "A box of chocolates."
Li Xiaolu was speechless.
Kyra exclaimed, "I can't believe it! Does he think I'm some naive girl just starting out in the world? A box of chocolates is supposed to win me over?"
Li Xiaolu couldn't help but laugh.
Kyra said, "You're still laughing!"
Li Xiaolu quickly suppressed her laughter and said, "Okay, okay, I won't laugh anymore."
Kyra continued to vent about her ex-boyfriend, "You don't understand; he's really selfish and loves to scheme. He always thinks of himself first no matter what he does. I definitely don't want to be with someone like that."
Li Xiaolu didn't know much about Kyra's ex-boyfriend, so she didn't say anything.
...
When it was time to leave work in the evening, Li Xiaolu had been busy with her tasks and completely lost track of time.
It wasn't until she finished reading a report and looked out the window that she realized it had already gotten dark.
She glanced at the time on her computer and saw it was already six-thirty!
She quickly grabbed her phone and noticed a message from Jijun.
"Are you off work yet?"
Li Xiaolu hurriedly replied, "I'm still busy. Have you arrived?"
Jijun didn't respond.
Li Xiaolu waited for a while but still didn't receive any news from Jijun.
She felt a bit lost. Had he already left? She held her phone, hesitating whether to send another message to Jijun. But she was also afraid that Jijun hadn't left; maybe he had gone to drive or was doing something else. If she messaged him now, would it make him think she was anxious?
Li Xiaolu struggled for a while but ultimately decided to wait a bit longer. Another ten minutes passed, and Jijun still hadn't replied. Li Xiaolu sighed, put her phone in her bag, and then got up to leave the office.
She took the elevator down to the first floor. Stepping out of the office building, she looked around but didn't see Jijun. It seemed he really had left. Li Xiaolu felt a little sad. She stood still for a moment, hesitated, and then took out her phone, ready to message Jijun…
“Lulu.” Suddenly, she heard Jijun's voice behind her.
Li Xiaolu jumped in surprise and turned around quickly. Jijun was standing right behind her.
Li Xiaolu exclaimed, “You haven't left?”
Jijun replied, “I was waiting for you.”
Li Xiaolu was taken aback. A wave of sweetness washed over her. She looked at him and asked, “Did you wait long?”
Jijun shook his head, “No.”
He looked at her and asked, “Can we go now?”
Li Xiaolu nodded, “Mm.”
