Accidental Love

The next day, everyone in the office could feel that Zheng Shuyi's mood wasn't very good.

To be specific, she seemed cold during the meeting in the conference room, she seemed cold in the pantry, and even in the bathroom. It felt like she was there to complete a boring scientific research task.

In the afternoon's weekly meeting, all teams were required to attend, and the chief editor talked about an important matter.

Zheng Shuyi's interview with Shi Yan has already been published. Their sales doubled and their electronic version's view counts also skyrocketed.

The content of this article was crucial, precise, and specific, resulting in great reviews.

There was a round of warm applause in the conference room, whether they were truly happy for her or not, at least they all showed that they did.

But her smile didn't have any signs of real happiness.

Just like usual, in this busy day, other than the colleagues she frequently talked to, no one had the time to care about how she felt.

Only Qin Shiyue, who was sitting at the desk beside her, vaguely heard that when Zheng Shuyi was making coffee, she was poking the bottom of the cup with a spoon.

She was also muttering in a bad tone, but none of her words contained "Shi Yan".

To be honest, Qin Shiyue was a little shocked.

She couldn't believe that her uncle so protective of her; did he do something to make Zheng Shuyi hate him so much?

Qin Shiyue frowned slightly.

Did Shi Yan go too far?

However, some people were either aren't very emotionally sensitive or they just want to look for trouble.

During the afternoon, when Kong Nan went out for an interview, Xu Yuling walked to Zheng Shuyi’s side and sat on Kong Nan's seat.

"Shuyi, what happened to you today?”

“I don't think you're very happy.”

“You should be really happy after writing such an excellent article.”

"Why don't we have dinner together in the evening to celebrate?"

She didn't speak loudly or quietly. But although even Qin Shiyue could hear her clearly, Zheng Shuyi was still typing on her computer without any response, as if she didn't hear it.

Xu Yuling's seemed to be a little annoyed as she continued, "I heard that you broke up with your boyfriend, are you in a bad mood because of this?"

In fact, Zheng Shuyi didn't try to hide her breakup. Some colleagues asked her about this after not seeing Yue Xingzhou come to pick her up recently.

So the fact that she broke up wasn't really a secret anymore.

It wasn't surprising that she knew.

But Zheng Shuyi continued to ignore Xu Yuling.

Qin Shiyue was originally focused on playing on her phone, but after hearing her, she sneered a bit.

Although she was annoyed when Zheng Shuyi ignored her, but when seeing Xu Yuling being ignored as well, she found it quite funny.

Here, Xu Yuling became impatient and knocked hard on Zheng Shuyi's table.

"Zheng Shuyi, I'm talking to you."

Zheng Shuyi suddenly noticed her and turned her head to look at Xu Yuling.

Then, Qin Shiyue saw her lift up her hair and take out two wireless earbuds.

"Are you talking to me?" Zheng Shuyi's tone was quite polite, "I'm wearing noise-canceling earbuds, sorry, I didn't hear you."

Xu Yuling was pissed, but she still smiled stiffly, "No it's okay, I'm just caring about you. I saw that you're in a bad mood today, so I wanted to ask if it's because you broke up with your boyfriend."

Hearing this, Zheng Shuyi's face immediately changed.

She glanced at her and replied coldly, "Why do you care?"

The tone of this reply was aggressive, and almost all the other colleagues around them heard it. The atmosphere immediately turned intense.

Xu Yuling's face turned dark and didn't know how to reply.

Zheng Shuyi didn't care about her either. After putting on her earbuds, she began to type drafts again.

In the intense atmosphere, Xu Yuling's face was completely pale.

However, Zheng Shuyi was still sitting there typing as if nothing had happened. Having nowhere to release her anger, Xu Yuling could only walk away.

The nearest witness to the scene, Qin Shiyue, didn't pay attention to Xu Yuling's expression when she left.

The only thing on her mind was Zheng Shuyi's earbuds.

And she started to think back, on the first day at work, when she called Zheng Shuyi several times, she completely ignored her. Was it because she was wearing the earbuds?

The more she thought, the more she felt like it was.

Thinking back to the details of getting along during this time, although Zheng Shuyi wasn't very enthusiastic about her, she was still pretty kind and didn't give her too much work.

Now that she thought about it, she didn't seem to be those kinds of arrogant people.

So, it seemed that she really wronged her.

In fact, it wasn't that big of a deal that she wronged her.

The point was, Shi Yan gave her quite some trouble.

It seemed that Zheng Shuyi was like this today because of Shi Yan.

Qin Shiyue scratched her head and once again fell into deep thought.

Now that she knew that her wronging caused Zheng Shuyi harm, she had quite some guilt in her heart.

But throughout her life, because of her identity and background, she has been standing above everyone else. She had never lowered her head down to anyone except her elders.

Now it would be quite impossible for her to admit that she did something wrong.

——

That night, Zheng Shuyi went to the hairdresser to trim her hair after work, then ate in a restaurant.

After she arrived home at night and took a shower, it was already eleven-thirty.

When she applied a facial mask, she subconsciously took out her phone. When she checked her text messages, she hesitated.

She forgot to send it this morning because she was so angry.

But after a whole day of psychological adjustment, she began to calm down.

Think about it in another way, as the person chasing after him, it was normal for him to have multiple choices.

Or else it wouldn't really be fair for him is it?

After thinking everything through, Zheng Shuyi felt much better and immediately send four text messages to Shi Yan:

No good night today.

Because I'm not good at all.

I can't sleep.

But if you add my WeChat, I'll be able to sleep.

No reply from Shi Yan.

Zheng Shuyi thought for a while, maybe it's time to get real: 

Actually, I left something at your place again.

Did you see it by any chance? QAQ

After sending these short messages, Zheng Shuyi waited for a reply full of hope.

But the waiting got too boring, so she started to clean up her room.

While cleaning the cabinet, she saw two Song Lelan concert tickets.

This was originally planned for her to go with Yue Xingzhou, but now he was gone… what a shame.

But when he saw the specifics on the ticket, it wrote tomorrow night at seven o'clock. Zheng Shuyi blinked, and a bold idea appeared.

She remembered that Shi Yan had Song Lelan's albums at his house.

Then if they could go to the concert together, that would be an incredible leap towards the progress of their relationships!

Zheng Shuyi squatted on the ground and looked at the two tickets as countless ideas began to sprout in her mind.

At this moment, the phone on the table buzzed.

Zheng Shuyi quickly grabbed the phone and glanced at the screen.

The lock screen showed "You have received a text message from ‘An illiterate who can't type’".

Zheng Shuyi's heart immediately started to beat faster.

The "TD" reply in her dream caused a very big psychological shadow on her. At this moment, she had a strange feeling of seeing that reply again.

She was so afraid that Shi Yan would really reply to her with a "TD" that she would rather receive spam messages.

After preparing for the worst, Zheng Shuyi unlocked the screen.

An illiterate who can't type: Again?

Puff……

The heart in Zheng Shuyi's throat finally landed after seeing something that was not "TD".

She smiled and typed: Yes, it's more important than the dowry last time.

An illiterate who can't type: What is it?

Zheng Shuyi: It's my heart (//▽//)

The other side didn't reply.

Zheng Shuyi: "…"

She touched her cheek and became annoyed again.

Did I go too far?

Trying to recover from the situation, Zheng Shuyi decided to seek advice from her friends.

When she opened WeChat, she stared at her Contacts and wondered who to text, when suddenly, a red "1" popped up in the "New Friends" column.

Zheng Shuyi immediately clicked on it and saw that it was a friend request from a WeChat user named "sy·lucky".

sy.

——Shi Yan!

He! Is! Finally! On! We! Chat!

She never thought Shi Yan had such a playful username.

His profile picture was pretty normal, just a normal photo of a Corgi.

Looks like she didn't anger Shi Yan just then.

Zheng Shuyi held her phone happily and sent him a message:

You finally added me on WeChat.

"Spinning in happiness".jpg

After a while.

sy·lucky:…

She was lying on the bed and swaying her legs as she shook her head.

Zheng Shuyi: Are you going to sleep?

sy·lucky: It's still early.

Zheng Shuyi smiled and immediately took a picture of the concert tickets and sent them to Shi Yan.

Zheng Shuyi: I just saw this, and I was wondering who to go with.

sy·lucky:?

Zheng Shuyi: Are you free tomorrow night?

It took a long time for him to reply.

sy·lucky: Yes.

Zheng Shuyi smiled and squeezed the pillow with her hand.

Zheng Shuyi: Then can we go together tomorrow night?

Another moment of waiting.

sy·lucky: Sure.
