Accidental Love

Although Qin Shiyue was forced to go to work, she wasn't that hopeless of a person. She knew very well that her performance in this job will determine her quality of life in the future.

So she was playing safe and really wanted to work as hard as she could.

But Miss Qin has been living her life happily for more than twenty years. Wherever she went, there would be people praising her and respecting her. The graduation problem she had was the biggest thing that ever happened to her, and in the end, the school didn't do too much about it.

And today, she asked Zheng Shuyi for help several times, and yet she didn't even give her the slightest response.

When it was finally to get off work, Zheng Shuyi didn't even look at her after she picked up her bag to leave.

Qin Shiyue had never been treated so poorly before, making her quite angry as she talked.

When accusing Zheng Shuyi, her eyes slowly turned red as well.

Of course, while explaining, she also added in a tone of miserable pitifulness, making her sound wronged and hoping that her audience would feel sorry for her.

After she finished, the dining room was silent for a while.

Qin Shiyue quietly observed Shi Yan's reaction.

Shi Yan placed his phone down on the table and looked up.

But after that one glance, he looked back down and slowly wiped his hands with a towel.

The little arc at the corner of his mouth made her quite scared.

She didn't know what her uncle meant, or whether or not he felt pity for her.

——

Looking out from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the officer, the bright moon was hanging on top of the city, and the twinkling stars were like sprinkles added to this beautiful night scene.

Unfortunately, people working overtime didn't have the time to appreciate this scene.

At a quarter past ten, Zheng Shuyi revised the final details and sent the draft to Tang Yi. After cleaning everything up, she rubbed her neck, packed up, and took a taxi home.

There was a bit of traffic on the way home, and it took her almost half an hour to arrive.

Zheng Shuyi lied on her bed after taking a shower and Tang Yi's reply suddenly appeared on her phone.

The text said that she read it already, that she had no additional comments to add, and already sent it to the chief editor.

All of these were hints that Tang Yi was very satisfied with her draft.

In fact, when Zheng Shuyi finished writing the first draft, she already knew it was going to be good. She confidently knew that this would be a huge hit and increase their popularity significantly.

She rolled over, propped her chin, dangled her legs, and a smile gradually appeared on her face.

Yay, everything seems to be going great!

The only thing was that her progress with Shi Yan seemed to have slowed down.

Just like the rapidly changing weather, Zheng Shuyi's face immediately frowned as she sighed.

Only if I had his WeChat…

Otherwise, she wouldn't be stressing out every day on how to find opportunities to be with Shi Yan.

What's wrong with this man? When we first met, he was the one who was interested in me at first. After one rejection and now he gave up already?

Is he waiting for me to confess first?

While thinking about this, Zheng Shuyi gradually fell asleep.

The next day, she received the good news as expected.

The chief editor really liked her draft and has already sent it to Shi Yan, waiting for his final approval.

People would generally feel refreshed at happy moments. On her way to work, she met several colleagues, and regardless of whether they were men or women, they all praised her for her appearance today.

After reaching the building, Zheng Shuyi took off her jacket under the heater. There seemed to be a bright halo surrounding her body and following her to her desk.

Qin Shiyue arrived a minute earlier than she did. When she was applying hand cream, she heard someone coming over and looked up.

Although she didn't want to admit it, her look stayed on Zheng Shuyi for quite a few seconds.

Her hair, her face, her waist and hips, her smooth and slender legs…

When she realized that she had been staring, she immediately turned around and continued to apply hand cream with her back turned to Zheng Shuyi.

Zheng Shuyi happily waited all morning, and Mingyu finally replied.

She opened the mail excitedly.

-Rejected.

There were only a few comments.

The situation was unexpected, but Zheng Shuyi edited the draft according to the comments.

The following day, she opened the feedback mail again, still rejected.

Zheng Shuyi started to get worried and felt that something was wrong.

When her draft was rejected for the third time, she went directly to Tang Yi.

"What do you mean? There aren't even any comments and they just gave me a rejection?"

Tang Yi couldn't help it, "Well it's our first interview with him, we didn’t know that he would so strict."

After speaking, she sneered, "Didn't you say he likes you?"

A restless feeling filled Zheng Shuyi's heart. She felt very uncomfortable and made it hard for her to accept this reality.

Zheng Shuyi's eyes flashed, and after a moment, she asked, "Editor-in-chief, can you give me Shi Yan's phone number?"

Tang Yi also raised his eyes and studied Zheng Shuyi while asking, "What do you want that for?"

"I'll ask him myself."

Before Tang Yi could think about anything else, Zheng Shuyi had already leaned forward to inches away from her face and asked with a pitiful face.

"Sister Yi, just give me his phone number, please. It's been several times, and if we don't publish this quickly, we'll be late!"

Tang Yi wanted to refuse but her arms were suddenly hugged and swung by Zheng Shuyi.

"Just ask normally, what's up with all this?" Tang Yi frowned and took out her phone, "Go ask him carefully to see if you messed up somewhere."

Zheng Shuyi wanted to know even more than Tang Yi. After receiving Shi Yan's phone number, she immediately went to the quiet balcony.

However, this afternoon, Zheng Shuyi called three times, all of which ended up being “The other line is busy”.

She sat at her desk staring at her phone.

What a useless thousand yuan phone, just give me the reply!

A sudden thunder from outside of the window woke Zheng Shuyi up. She looked around; everyone else went home already, she was the only one left.

Zheng Shuyi decided to pick up her bag and leave as well.

When preparing to call a taxi in the elevator, Zheng Shuyi decided whether she should go to Mingyu's headquarters or Shi Yan's home. She chose the second one without even thinking twice.

The black clouds were like mountains floating in the sky, slowly trying to suffocate the city. The weather seemed like it was about to rain any instant, which made all the pedestrians on the street speed up their pace.

Zheng Shuyi didn't have an umbrella, and during the whole ride, she was worried whether it would rain heavily like that night she broke up with Yue Xingzhou.

But she didn't seem to be so unlucky today. At least when she arrived at Bay of Clouds and after signing her name in the visitor registration book, she came across Shi Yan's house and found Shi Yan's car.

The car slowly stopped. Zheng Shuyi seemed to be completely distracted and didn't notice at all.

The person in the back seat didn't speak, and the driver didn't say anything either. They just waited patiently.

The sky was gloomy, but the street lights haven't turned on yet.

Shi Yan turned his head and looked toward her through the car window.

Zheng Shuyi was standing there motionlessly with her head lowered as if she was thinking about something.

As part of her job, she was dressed nicely from top to bottom.

The wind suddenly blew the leaves and brought Zheng Shuyi back to reality. She looked up and found Shi Yan's car right in front of her.

The tinted car window was like a single-sided mirror. People on the outside can't see what was inside, but people inside could clearly see what was on the outside.

Shi Yan looked away, took off his glasses, and lowered his head to wipe them.

When he placed his glasses on again and got out of the car, Zheng Shuyi had already walked up to the car.

Shi Yan stood in front of her. He just looked at her, waiting for her to speak.

Some people may have a smile on their faces, but in fact, they were panicking so much that they had no idea what to say at all.

Do I say? "Do you have a problem with me?" No, is that too aggressive?

What if he really does?

I can't give him this chance.

In the quiet neighborhood, there was only the sound of the autumn breeze blowing on the leaves.

A few seconds later, Shi Yan seemed to be out of patience. After looking at his watch, he placed one hand in his pocket and looked down at the person in front of him, "What's the matter?"

Zheng Shuyi suddenly looked up at him and blinked.

"I think that maybe you want to see me, so I came."

"…"

The street lights suddenly lit up one after another, singing brightly on Zheng Shuyi's face.

A brief moment of silence later, Shi Yan didn't speak, instead, he laughed.

This was the first time Zheng Shuyi saw him laugh.

Although she had no idea why he was so happy.
