Chapter 4, Wu Xiaoye

"Will it rain tomorrow?" Zhao Lingjun looked at the setting sun and then at the clear sky, unable to suppress a smile. "The weather forecast is usually quite accurate. With such good weather, it probably won't rain tomorrow."

See you tomorrow. That night, while dreaming, Zhao Lingjun kept dreaming of Wu Xiaoye waving her pale little hands, saying to him, "See you tomorrow."

"How do you know that?" Zhao Lingjun was taken aback, feeling that it was simply too strange. "Are you a fortune teller?"

You can take a guess too," said Wu Xiaoye

When the golden glow of the sunset fell upon the girl's somewhat pale face, Zhao Lingjun felt a bit dazed.

Zhao Lingjun learned the name of this girl at the cost of a pack of cigarettes

"I guessed it." Wu Xiaoye smiled.

"Elder brother, I would like to inquire about something." Zhao Lingjun recalled the incident from this morning when he had asked about the name of this girl.

It is said that Wu Xiaoye, a master's graduate from a foreign university, is employed at m.hetushu.com. However, when asked about her major, she always remains tight-lipped. Wu Xiaoye holds the position of financial assistant in the company, and surprisingly, despite her quiet demeanor at work, her primary responsibility involves debt collection. What is even more astonishing is that when Wu Xiaoye takes action, she rarely returns without success.

Wu Xiaoye is indeed a very special girl

Upon pulling back the curtains, Zhao Lingjun was taken aback

Hello. Zhao Lingjun greeted Wu Xiaoye on the neighboring balcony with great enthusiasm. Zhao Lingjun held a deep affection for this girl.

Zhao Lingjun can guarantee that before this, he had never seen such an enchanting girl

It is said that Wu Xiaoye never uses any cosmetics and does not eat any food containing monosodium glutamate. However, she has a strong liking for rich coffee. It is said that she enjoys using silver utensils. Every month, Wu Xiaoye always takes several days off, and no one knows what she does during those days

"You guessed it quite accurately," Zhao Lingjun said. "Then can you and the library tell me what you are currently reading?"

Zhao Lingjun knew that the girl's name was Wu Xiaoye

"You're welcome." The voice of Wu Xiaoye came from afar. "I guessed it."

Indeed, haha," Zhao Lingjun said with a smile. "Wuxiaoye, my name is Zhao Lingjun. I look forward to your guidance at work in the future.

"Looking at the weather?" Zhao Lingjun found it very strange

Hehe. You guessed wrong. "Wu Xiaoye said. "I was just checking the weather."

However, Wu Xiaoye possesses a more peculiar characteristic, which is that the timing of debt collection is entirely at her discretion

"Are you watching the sunset?" Zhao Lingjun smiled and said. "I don't think you are watching that person riding the electric bike, are you?"

Hello. Wu Xiaoye was somewhat surprised to see Zhao Lingjun appear on the balcony. "Are you the new person who joined the company this morning? Do you live next door to me?"

"Hehe, perhaps, but I have already decided to hang the clothes inside the house." Wu Xiaoye smiled and waved her fair little hand at Zhao Ling Jun, "I am going inside now, see you tomorrow."

"Indeed, the weather forecast indicates that tomorrow will be pleasant weather," Wu Xiaoye said as she looked at Zhao Lingjun. "However, I always have a feeling that it will rain tomorrow. So I am considering whether or not to hang the clothes outside."

Under the setting sun, this beautiful woman with long black hair, long eyelashes, and slightly upturned small lips possesses an indescribable and unique charm

How did you know that?" Zhao Lingjun was taken aback

Hehe. After Wu Xiaoye smiled, she quietly watched Zhao Lingjun for a while. Just when Zhao Lingjun felt that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Wu Xiaoye smiled and said, "It was Bao Longxing who told you, wasn't it"

It is unexpectedly raining outside, and it is quite heavy rain

Zhao Lingjun looked up and saw the sunset casting countless rays of light across the sky, observed the desolate wasteland outside the community, and also noticed someone riding an electric bike, heading towards his building within the community

This girl not only possesses the oval face that Zhao Lingjun has always admired, but her quiet demeanor and slightly pale complexion also easily evoke a strong impulse to hold her close and care for her tenderly.

Just as Zhao Lingjun was feeling anxious, he heard footsteps behind him. When he turned around, he saw Wu Xiaoye handing him an umbrella. Zhao Lingjun felt a wave of immense happiness wash over him

Hehe, no problem, a pack of cigarettes will do

I am not a fortune teller; however, every new employee who joins the company first inquires about this girl. The kindly janitor smiled and said, "But this time you have found the right person. My name is Bao Longxing, and I am nicknamed Bao Daiting. There is nothing in this entire building that I do not know."

"This is a secret," Zhao Lingjun smiled and said, "If you tell me what you are looking at here, I will tell you how I know your name."

Hehe. Wu Xiaoye smiled with a flutter of her long eyelashes. "How did you know my name is Wu Xiaoye?"

"Isn't that so? You didn't even ask me what question I wanted to ask. You just asked me for a pack of cigarettes?" Zhao Lingjun couldn't help but feel that the amiable-looking handyman in front of him resembled a butcher who kills without shedding blood.

When Zhao Lingjun was in a daze, it seemed that he clearly knew he was dreaming, yet Zhao Ling and the Book Lord just wanted to continue like this. However, early the next morning, Zhao Lingjun was awakened by a clattering sound.

At the entrance of his own corridor, Zhao Lingjun lingered for a long time. During his university days, Zhao Lingjun never carried any rain gear. If it happened to rain after class, he would dash through the rain, and at worst, he would rush back to his dormitory, take a shower, and change into a fresh set of clothes. Moreover, it was easier to lose an umbrella than to buy one while in university.

Perhaps it is precisely because Wu Xiaoye's work performance is exceptionally outstanding that, on ordinary days, even though she spends most of her time drinking coffee and reading books and newspapers, no one pays her any mind

"Aren't you just trying to inquire about that girl?" said the kindly janitor with a smile.

However, at this moment, Zhao Lingjun looked at the heavy rain outside the corridor and felt somewhat powerless. Although the distance from the community to the public bus station is not far, braving such rain to rush to the bus station would only result in becoming a drenched chicken

Thank you. When Zhao Lingjun finally recovered from her blissful petrified state, she discovered that Wu Xiaoye had already walked quite a distance holding a black umbrella adorned with peculiar rusted golden patterns. "How did you know I didn't have an umbrella?"
