Part 07

Yuehua Company has a designated cafeteria. It is about the same size as a school cafeteria, and it is unclear how many employees there are. Xi Qingnuo, somewhat confused, followed the aroma to the cafeteria and surveyed the entire hall, which was divided into three colors. The uniforms for men and women were in blue. The women's attire consisted of a white top and black bottom, while the men's consisted of a black and white uniform with a white inner layer and a black outer layer. Moreover, the arrangement of personnel was very consistent, with the black and white uniforms on the left side and the blue uniforms on the right side, without any mixing.

"Eat." Liang Yue commanded her coldly

"Wait a moment." Liang Yue suddenly called out, his voice seemingly intentionally "loud"

She was in a state of great distress, frantically tugging at her hair in front of the mirror. The primary issue at hand was not the feelings of regret after reading, but rather how to face Liang Yue when she went outside. Should she just smile and act as if nothing had happened? Or should she cling to his leg and cry, demanding that he take responsibility? Or perhaps, should they develop from friends into something more intimate?

Forgive her, as I truly cannot think of an appropriate excuse

This statement left Yang Jing and Xi Qingnuo momentarily stunned

Xi Qingnuo ordered seafood fried rice and a banana milkshake. She thought it was a high-end restaurant, and the expenses could hardly take advantage of Liang Yue. For some reason, although she wanted to take Liang Yue for all he was worth, she always ended up making gestures to save money for him. What could this mean for her?

Liang Yue squinted his eyes

This time, it was Xi Qingnuo who fell silent. She called mainly to get in touch with him. After all, it had been three days without contact since "that time" they rented a room, so she casually found an excuse, but unexpectedly, this excuse turned out to be so weak and ineffective.

Li Xintong was just about to retort when her phone rang. She shot her a glance, took out her phone, and answered the call. It was unclear what the call was about, but her expression suddenly turned serious. She said to Xi Qingnuo, "I have something to attend to, I must leave first." Before Xi Qingnuo could grasp the situation, she had already disappeared.

"No, I still need to report back to the company. General Manager Liang, please contact me by phone," Yang Jing replied politely

Yang Jing believes that once someone enters Liang Yue's heart, they would not be willing to escape

When she saw Liang Yue's strong arms wrapping around her waist through the thin blanket, an unsettling thought immediately crossed her mind. Could it be that the infamous drunken escapade, a one-night stand, was about to happen? Her face instantly turned pale, her head buzzed, and she was unable to think.

Just say that we have something going on between us

The business suit, with its tailored fit, is quite ordinary, yet she wears it with more elegance than others. Her figure stands out, and her appearance is striking. When the beauty stands next to Liang Yue, Xi Qingnuo is not surprised; she has grown accustomed to it. The main point is that she knows this beauty, who could be considered an old acquaintance.

The knocking sound was as terrifying as the ominous bell at midnight, causing her to jump up in fright, "Who is it?"

Wait a moment. Fearing that he would hang up, she immediately called out, "That..." Unable to think of an excuse for a while, she hesitated for a long time. On the other end of the line, Liang Yue did not rush her, patiently waiting for her to come up with an "excuse"

With his back to the man in a suit and leather shoes, Liang Yue propped his head up with one hand, slightly tilted his gaze behind him, and a hint of a smile curved at the corner of his mouth

Lying on the bed, Liang Yue was quite the opposite; despite being scolded by her, he instead smiled with increasing satisfaction. He felt gratified by her reaction and decided that next time he would indulge her.

"Xintong, can you take the afternoon off to accompany me to look at houses? I want to move a bit further north so that I won't have to travel so far for work." Xi Qingnuo suddenly changed the subject, truly showcasing her remarkable ability for cognitive leaps.

The order of the interview draw has been completed. Xi Qingnuo exerted tremendous effort to persuade the young lady in the human resources department to obtain the draw sequence number, even though she ended up being the last one. In large companies, recruitment is about attracting talent, and there are only three positions available, yet there are over 100 applicants. She happens to be the 108th, perfectly matching the 108 heroes of Liangshan. The three positions coincidentally correspond to the only three women among the 108 heroes. With so many wolves and so little meat, it is a tragic situation.

Liang Yue actually wants to see her convenience? Come on, even if they spent a night together, there is no need to be so vulgar, right? This is simply too lacking in morals. Xi Qingnuo firmly disagreed and scolded him, "Filthy."

Thus, in her subsequent high school life, Yang Jing never treated her kindly. It was not just her; Xi Qingnuo's relationships with other girls became particularly poor, and she had almost no friends left. Xi Qingnuo felt somewhat perplexed, wondering if it was an issue with her character. It was only later that she realized it was all because Liang Yue had handed her a condom, leading to misunderstandings about their relationship. She had taken away the prince charming in their hearts. Previously, she had told others that she and Liang Yue were merely childhood friends with no other relationship. As the misunderstandings grew, others began to see her as hypocritical and pretentious. Her situation was more unjust than Dou E's, and even the snow in June could not express her grievances.

Did she really not boast and successfully take away Liang Yue's first time? But why did she not feel like she had gained an advantage? Instead, there was a sense of panic? She completely could not remember what happened last night, nor did she know if she had forced herself upon him, after all, she was the only one who got drunk last night. Liang Yue absolutely could not have taken the initiative with her; he clearly stated that he was not interested in her.

"Your fall could cause quite a serious injury," Xi Qingnuo said weakly, not understanding the meaning of her words

The elevator bell rang, and the closed doors opened. Xi Qingnuo looked up and stood there in a daze, unsure of whether to enter or retreat. In front of her stood Liang Yue and a beautiful woman with long, curly hair. She was dressed in a professional attire.

Liang Yue naturally knew what the two women were thinking. He casually and to himself said to Yang Jing: "The plan you mentioned, I will consider it. It is lunchtime now, and just in time for Nuo Nuo to arrive, shall we have a meal together?"

Indeed, I am not as fortunate as you; when you were injured, Liang Yue was there to help you tend to your wounds

It is difficult to imagine the consequences of her rashly taking his first time. She knows nothing and her mind is even more blank. The only thing she wants to do now is to escape and find some peace. In her panic, she hurriedly placed her feet on the ground, unaware that her legs were weak, and after staggering a few steps, she fell to her knees on the ground

The sound of chopsticks falling to the ground echoed behind Liang Yue. Xi Qingnuo snapped out of her daze and glanced over. She saw the man in Western-style shoes smiling at her in a flustered manner. Xi Qingnuo was unsure whether to return his awkward smile.

In the middle of the night, Xi Qingnuo, who was drunk, kept shouting that she was hot, desperately trying to take off her clothes. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get her pullover off, and her cries were as loud as a pig being slaughtered. Liang Yue, at his wit's end, sought the help of a female server to assist her in removing her clothing. However, he never expected that the server would strip her completely bare, leaving not even a bra. Xi Qingnuo was completely oblivious and continued to try to take off her clothes, causing Liang Yue to be in a state of utter disarray. He could only hold her tightly to prevent her from moving. Bound and restrained, Xi Qingnuo attempted to resist, kicking him for a while to no avail, before she began to vomit uncontrollably, covering him in the process. Thus, Liang Yue had no choice but to sleep in the nude.

Xi Qingnuo's eyes lit up, "I don't eat anything that's not expensive." She has always been straightforward when it comes to eating Liang Yue's food

Xi Qingnuo did not know how long she had slept. In any case, when she woke up, not only was her head throbbing painfully, but her body also felt as if it had been heavily reassembled. She thought that perhaps it was due to an improper position, so she slightly turned to the side. Unexpectedly, a handsome and relaxed face suddenly magnified in front of her eyes, nearly causing her to jump up.

That is. A certain woman smiled shamelessly, deliberately wearing a face full of happiness.

Is her behavior really unbearable? Is it not permissible for a chubby person to act cute and pout?

Xi Qingnuo was so frightened that he immediately withdrew his hand, and the quilt was once again smoothed over him, obscuring everything from view. Feeling guilty like a thief, Xi Qingnuo did not dare to look at Liang Yue, nor did he have the courage to ask how his clothes had been changed into pajamas. Was it he who changed them, or did she help him put them on after they finished that?

Hearing Xi Qingnuo inexplicably curse at him through the door, Liang Yue felt somewhat baffled. He knocked politely and asked her, what exactly is so disgusting? Could it be that he kindly asked the customer service to send over a pack of sanitary napkins, and she found that disgusting?

Across from the building, there is an elegantly designed restaurant. Those who have not seen much of the world, like *Tu* and Shi Qingnuo, believe that having music in the interior is what defines a high-end restaurant. She originally intended to explore and find a good seat, but unexpectedly, Liang Yue directly pulled her to a crowded corner to sit down

Xi Qingnuo's lips twitched slightly. Not only did they refrain from offering words of blessing, but they also spoke with a tone of threat. It was as if there would be consequences if she did not succeed in the interview. Xi Qingnuo said: "Is it not possible for me to pass with a hundred percent?"

Xi Qingnuo continued to glare at him, "I have always thought you to be a beast in human clothing, but today I finally realize that you are even worse than a beast."

Li Xintong's words left Xi Qingnuo momentarily speechless. She spoke with great reason, yet it was also contrary to common sense. Based on her understanding of Liang Yue's gentlemanly character, he would not take advantage of others' misfortunes. ... But ... . ... She was completely exposed, and he still acted like a gentleman; it was simply incomprehensible

Qie. Xi Qingnuo expressed disdain and with a hint of sarcasm said: "With your charm, you climbed onto Song Zimo's bed, completely took advantage of others, and after stirring up trouble, you just walked away, how carefree you are"

Yang Jing, whose surname is Gao, nearly fainted from excitement on the spot. As a result, in less than a second, Liang Yue handed it over to Xi Qingnuo with a smile, encouraging her to take it. Xi Qingnuo, completely bewildered by the situation, accepted it.

She was momentarily stunned, her hand holding the spoon half suspended in the air, gazing at him in a daze

Due to the large number of applicants, those ranked after number 69 will continue in the afternoon. Taking advantage of the lunch break, the still early-seated Qiang Qino plans to replenish energy vigorously, resolving both breakfast and lunch at once

A woman complained sharply, "Damn, I am completely exposed, yet he doesn't pounce on me and take me right here; he is simply not a man at all"

I no longer wish to trouble him. If I continue like this, I will surely be unable to part from him. By then, if he runs off with another woman, I will have no tears left to cry.

"Wretched person, I told San Niu not to invite you to her engagement ceremony. You ruin the atmosphere"

Xi Qingnuo was not yet prepared to face him. She hurriedly asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Take care of yourself

Yang Jing first noticed Xi Qingnuo, who was dazed in the elevator. She did not call her name, but slightly tilted her head and looked at her with a familiar gaze

Hello

"How could you also leave Song Zimo?" Realizing that she had brought up the topic again, Xi Qingnuo immediately fell silent and shifted the conversation, "Practical issues! We must now start from reality."

Various phenomena, as a seasoned fujoshi, Xi Qingnuo thinks of this as a silent breakup scene. The two of them must know each other, and they may have even been a couple before. However, for some reason, Liang Yue wants to end this relationship, so she is brought in to play this role, making that man believe that Liang Yue has turned back into a straight man, thus heartbroken and tearfully severing the emotional ties. This is a role that Liang Yue often plays, a tragic one, where she always has to be the villain. As his good friend, she still has to brace herself for it, even though she longs to see a real-life version of a deep "brotherly bond".

It has been proven that having an affair with Liang Yue leads to a bad outcome

She has gone mad. Xi Qingnuo felt that she had completely lost her mind. How could she even think about developing a friends-with-benefits relationship with Liang Yue? If Liang Yue found out, he would definitely shoot her down. She shook her head, turned on the faucet, and splashed water on her face several times to steady herself, reminding herself not to indulge in wild thoughts.

Has she really changed that much? ... She has only grown 2 centimeters taller and gained 10 kilograms in weight ...

Li Xintong was dismissive, clearly accustomed to her divergent thinking, as the saying goes, "birds of a feather flock together." She said, "Why look for me? Why not find Liang Yue? That wealthy man will surely not want you to suffer; he will rent you a high-end apartment and even help you pay the bills. What’s not to like?"

Tsk tsk, if you can't bear to part, then why leave? Is it really that simple to pledge oneself?

Liang Yue said: "I raised her all by myself, so no one else will want her; she is solely mine."

Xi Qingnuo is indeed a skilled actress, relying on Liang Yue's embrace, presenting a sweet and shameless demeanor

Liang Yue smiled as he reached his hand towards her mouth, the afternoon sunlight illuminating his handsome face with a vibrant glow. He gently pinched a shiny grain of rice from the corner of her mouth. However, instead of discarding it, he directly put it into his mouth. The series of actions was so natural and completely unpretentious

She was momentarily taken aback, and then instantly turned to stone

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, "I will transfer the money to your card tonight"

She lowered her head to look at her attire, sleepwear? ... No ...? ... No underwear? She swallowed hard, clearly remembering that she had worn a long shirt and pants, a C-cup bra, and now, overnight, they had all vanished? Turned into sleepwear ...? Her face flushed crimson, and she cautiously lifted the thin blanket pressing down on Liang Yue. With every inch she uncovered, her anxiety grew, from the well-developed chest muscles to the beautiful six-pack abs, and further down ... She swallowed again, and just as she was about to reach that area, Liang Yue's extremely lazy voice drifted into her ears, "What do you want to see?"

It is unknown when it was that someone asked him to buy sanitary napkins

She feels very conflicted; when she thinks about taking action, she does not dare to face it. However, when she does not take action, she inexplicably feels displeased. This internal contradiction leaves her in a state of great turmoil

If you loved me a little more, I wouldn't bother with you

Are you really a man

Ah. Those who understand me know my heart's worries, while those who do not understand me question my desires. Therefore, my dear, you must be understanding of me

Liang Yue at that time also graciously accepted it and even said to her: "Thank you"

She dared not ask or look at him, only wanting to flee in panic. She lifted the blanket, preparing to hide in the bathroom. But the shocking red plum blossoms on the bed sheet instantly blinded her eyes. ... Blood ... ? ... Fallen red? The sight of blood after losing her virginity. ? Xi Qingnuo's pale little face stared at the spot of red on the bed sheet.

Well, without Liang Yue, it is indeed impossible to be one hundred percent sure, um, it might even be less than fifty percent. She said with a sense of grievance: "What should we do then?"

Li Xintong felt that these two were being overly sentimental. In her view, while it was true that they had mutual feelings for each other, they were still lacking the right opportunity to dispel the fog between them. The best way to witness true feelings in a mutual affection is through a night of passion. Once the body is connected, the heart will follow. Unfortunately, that kid Liang Yue did not make good use of the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity yesterday; otherwise, the person sitting across from her today would definitely not be Xi Qingnuo, who was complaining to her, but rather Liang Yue, who would be teasingly bantering with Xi Qingnuo.

After Yang Jing left, Xi Qingnuo immediately elbowed Liang Yue's waist, shook off his hand, and said with a displeased expression: "What? Did someone send you a condom again?"

Due to this connection, Xiqing Nuo felt that there was always something special about Yang Jing and Liang Yue standing together, and his heart skipped a beat for a second

Then there is no need to force it. Goodbye. Liang Yue helped her press the elevator door open button

Oh. Xi Qingnuo felt that Liang Yue was somewhat off, and also sensed that the well-dressed man at the table behind him was also not quite right

If it is convenient, please open the door. I have something for you

Li Xintong snorted, "I know, you have repeated that set of reasons N times, I even dreamt of you holding a trumpet and lamenting to me."

Xi Qingnuo was easily led by him to another topic, "I want to eat in the cafeteria, but I don't have a meal card. So I came up here to seek help. Handsome guy, hehe." She smiled mischievously, displaying a demeanor of "you're the best" in a playful manner.

"Knock knock." The bathroom door suddenly made a sound

He laughed and said, "Women with good moral character and thoughts who generally enter my office will not have any ulterior motives."

Is there anything else? If not, I will hang up. Liang Yue said淡淡地.

That morning, she overslept. They had agreed to meet for the interview at 9:30 AM, but she only got out of bed at 8:00 AM. She hurriedly went to catch the bus, but after waiting for ten minutes without a single bus arriving, she had no choice but to spend a fortune on a taxi. However, in the end, she still arrived late

Li Xintong rolled her eyes several times and said, "How do you know he hasn't touched you? Did you ask? Or were you very clear about the whole process last night?"

Xi Qingnuo playfully stuck out his tongue, picked up the cup in front of him, and took a few sips of coffee to change the subject. "I seriously suspect that Liang Yue is gay. Even if he is not interested in me, doesn't he have any physiological reactions? Doesn't he want to curiously touch me?"

Her lack of ambition ultimately led her to willingly suffer in silence from Liang Yue's various snacks. Throughout high school, she had almost no close friends and relied entirely on Liang Yue.

Master Xi Qingnuo was at a loss. Since everyone had left, she could only eat cake alone, play on her phone, and scroll through Weibo to pass the remaining boring time. After enduring until 5:00 PM, she finally excitedly called Liang Yue.

Xi Qingnuo felt disheartened, "Then Liang Yue, who has a connection with me, give me some money, and I will go buy a box meal. I only have twenty yuan in my bag, which I need to keep for survival, so I cannot spend it." At her wealthiest, Xi Qingnuo's bag contained only two red bills. Once, her wallet was stolen after much hardship, and she was unsure whether to feel sad for the thief who stole her wallet. Her bag had twenty yuan, with thirty-one yuan and sixty cents in cash inside. She was accustomed to stuffing her phone into her pocket, so her phone worth twelve hundred yuan was not stolen. It seemed that was the only time she had been robbed, and she had not been visited by thieves again. In Li Xintong's words, she had been looked down upon and despised by thieves.

This beautiful woman is surnamed Yang, with the single name Jing. Contrary to her name, she is actually quite a wild character. She was a high school classmate of Xi Qingnuo and Liang Yue in neighboring classes. Back in the day, she pursued Liang Yue, causing quite a stir at school. At that time, she specialized in painting in the arts class, and her looks had already begun to stand out, making her a somewhat famous beauty. Sending love letters seemed outdated to her; her tool for confession was directly a condom. I vaguely remember it was a stormy evening. Xi Qingnuo and Liang Yue went to the cafeteria for dinner together. She directly blocked them at the classroom door, and in front of the remaining classmates, respectfully presented Liang Yue with a box of "Durex," her little face flushed red, shy and unable to bear it.

Why

In summary, upon arriving at this restaurant, she felt that it was premeditated. Why did Liang Yue choose to sit directly in front of the well-dressed man in such a spacious area? Moreover, was the ambiguous gesture Liang Yue made earlier natural or intentional? In the past, he would simply toss her a napkin and let her wipe herself; there was never such a "heart-pounding" treatment. And why did that man appear so flustered and out of sorts? Did this action startle him? In the past, he would simply toss her a napkin and let her wipe herself; there was never such a "heart-pounding" treatment. And why did that man appear so flustered and out of sorts? Did this action startle him?

Having said that, she stood up in anger, turned around, and left with a slam of the door. The commotion was sufficient to demonstrate just how furious she was

Xi Qingnuo gathered her courage to open the door, first peeking towards the large bed. From the curvature of the blanket, it appeared that Liang Yue was still asleep on the bed. She let out a slight sigh of relief, but as soon as she lifted her foot, she kicked something. Upon closer inspection, it was a pack of Whisper sanitary napkins

Let me take you out for a meal

Liang Yue smiles at environmental protection without causing harm

Not accustomed to being watched, Xi Qignuo tried not to look at the man not far across from her, pretending to read the menu

At a certain table in Sulinka Dessert House

Xi Qingnuo suddenly raised her voice sweetly and said to Liang Yue in a delicate tone: "Yueyue, come on, feed me." Her lips involuntarily pouted.

Xi Qingnuo was taken aback, unsure of how to react, when Liang Yue pulled her to his side. His hand naturally rested on her shoulder. Yang Jing glanced over casually, her face momentarily stiffening, and she awkwardly smiled, "So it's Xi Qingnuo, I didn't recognize you. You've grown quite a bit."

The signs of intimacy after a romantic encounter, such as flushed cheeks, a sense of weakness in her legs, indicate that she and Liang Yue have been together. ... The unfortunate thing is that she has no recollection of what happened yesterday; it is truly tragic that her first experience, which she had preserved for over twenty years, has vanished without a trace. She cannot even express a single "reflection" on it.

Perhaps due to not having breakfast, when the fried rice was served, Xi Qingnuo was indeed devouring it ravenously, completely disregarding his image. He shoveled spoonful after spoonful into his mouth, not even speaking to Liang Yue, solely focused on eating

What do you think?" is the voice of Liang Yue.

Liang Yue hurriedly sat up from the bed, got off the bed, and concernedly helped her up, "Are you hurt?"

Xi Qingnuo couldn't help but spit at her, what is so remarkable about it? She thought that as long as she acted cute with Liang Yue, it would be fine for her to come to work here. She merely had the intention but lacked the courage to act cute. Unable to eat in the cafeteria, she had no choice but to head upstairs in a dejected manner. Yuehua Group had just ventured into game development and online value-added services last year, which was overseen by Liang Yue. It is said that floors 7 to 18 are his domain. Xi Qingnuo had been stuck on the 5th floor for interviews, and now that she had some free time, she seized the opportunity to gather "military intelligence." She pressed the elevator button directly to the 18th floor

"Nono." Liang Yue smiled at her dismissively.

Here, you can check in to eat. If you have a card, you can eat. The young lady from the Human Resources Department smiled slightly at her, released her hand, and proudly went to the window to get her meal. It was as if she looked down on this outsider who had neither a uniform nor a meal card.

Xi Qingnuo's lips twitched slightly, and he let out a couple of cold laughs

Unfortunately, she is going to help Liang Yue further harm that man

Reimbursement, installed a security door, 5,000 yuan

She clearly saw the corners of Liang Yue's eyebrows twitch. Meanwhile, the man sitting opposite her looked at her with a disdainful expression, as if he were feeling a chill.

"Xi Qiangnuo, if you bring up my matters again, do you believe I will immediately turn against you?" Li Xintong's expression changed dramatically, and her tone no longer seemed to be joking.

Liang Yue did not sleep deeply; after just over ten minutes, he opened his eyes, intending to get up. Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xi Qingnuo dressed and half-squatting at the bedside, her almond-shaped eyes glaring at him as she leaned closer. Liang Yue was taken aback and asked, "What happened?"

Li Xintong, sitting opposite her, formed a striking contrast. She calmly used a fork to pick up a small piece of cake and chewed it slowly, saying, "I told you, you lack that charm. Someone of Liang Yue's caliber is beyond your reach. In front of you, he would rather be a beast than a gentleman like Liu Xiahui."

Liang Yue changed the subject, "How did you find the time to come up? Did the interview finish?"

Yang Jing cast a sidelong glance at Xi Qingnuo

It is not my interview

How could Xi Qingnuo dare to look at him? While shaking the hand drum wildly, she stood up with a flushed face and ran away, hiding in the bathroom, refusing to come out

I have an interview tomorrow. Do you have any words of advice for me

Xi Qingnuo was taken aback; her heavy body was indeed nurtured by Liang Yue. Could it really be as he said?

... ... ''

"The executives do not have meal cards," Liang Yue said in a nonchalant tone. "The company does not provide lunch for the executives"

I placed the items at the door, feel free to take what you need. Liang Yue put the sanitary napkins at the bathroom door and returned to bed, curling up in the blanket to continue sleeping. Yesterday, he was thoroughly exhausted by that woman, Xi Qingnuo.

Er Niu, do you plan to continue like this forever? In the past, I thought you were quite right. How hard we pursued what we wanted during our youthful and reckless days, only to end up battered and bruised, losing even more in the process. But why guard it in this way? I understand that you want to protect the hard-won relationship between you and Liang Yue. My past experiences indeed instill fear, but Er Niu, there is something I have never admitted: I obtained Song Zimo through humble means, and I have never regretted it. Rather than suffering in a friendship with Song Zimo, it is better to love passionately and then fall gracefully.

As soon as she sat down, she noticed a man in a suit staring at her without blinking. She was taken aback and thought to herself, could it be that he has fallen for her at first sight? When she was thin, there might have been a fifty percent chance. Now? A negative number.

The only one not wearing a uniform, Xi Qingnuo stood in the cafeteria, appearing particularly unconventional. For a moment, she was unsure whether she could go and get her meal, so she just stood at the door. By chance, she encountered the personnel department lady who had let her use the back door to enter the cafeteria. Desperately clinging to her like a lifeline, she pitifully asked, "Miss, am I allowed to eat here?"

By morning, it had become a scene that could easily be misunderstood by Xi Qingnuo.
