Chapter 12 Fatal People Around You 1
In fact, everything was not as smooth as He Weining had imagined. When Liang Xiaodi saw that it was him, her first reaction was to be stunned, and her second reaction was to go into the toilet.
The hour hand ticks forward at a constant speed.
He Weining sat on the sofa, feeling somewhat uneasy. He stood up and walked to the bathroom door, paused for a moment, and finally returned to his original position.
Liang Xiaodi had been in the bathroom for 10 minutes. The news that "Xing Qiege and He Weining are the same person" seemed to have given her a huge shock, which made her a little worried. He Weining thought about it, walked to the bathroom door again, and knocked gently: "Xiaodi?"
no response.
"Xiao Di?" He knocked again.
Still no response.
Just as he was about to knock for the third time, the door suddenly opened and Liang Xiaodi stood in front of him with an extremely unnatural smile on her lips.
"What's wrong? You look like you're not feeling well?" He Weining reached out to touch her forehead, but Liang Xiaodi dodged him.
"You...you sit down. What would you like to drink? I'll make it for you." Liang Xiaodi laughed dryly and twisted his fingers subconsciously.
"I'm not thirsty, you don't have to worry." He walked closer to her and sat next to her. "Don't you want to ask me anything?"
"Oh, when did you come back? Didn't you say you were busy?"
"I just got back."
"What's going on with this cake?" Liang Xiaodi pointed at the birthday cake on the table.
"Today is my birthday, and the courier just came to deliver a cake to me."
"Oh... happy birthday." Liang Xiaodi said sincerely, but somehow, the meaning of this sentence changed as soon as it came out of her mouth.
He Weining looked at her intently: "Nothing else to ask?"
She bit her lip, her eyes flickering, and asked softly, "Are you...really my master?"
He Weining chuckled, "Yeah."
"You've always known who I am?" She blinked her dark and bright eyes, her face full of questions.
"Yeah." He Weining was very frank.
Liang Xiaodi was stunned at first, then a little annoyed: "When did you know?"
He Weining thought for a moment, and raised a sly smile: "Do you mean I know you like me, or do you mean I know the one who flicked your glass is you?"
He, he already knew that he liked him?
Liang Xiaodi was startled and blushed without warning. She said hurriedly, "That's not it! I'm asking... when did you know that I was the little secret?"
"When you first messaged me." He Weining shook his phone, "I have two phone numbers, one of which is Xing Qiege."
"I heard your conversation with Xiao Xia that day, so I knew someone would approach Lou Qianjing. Sure enough, you showed up that night. After you gave me your number, I looked for the contact information of the company employees to check..."
"You, you, you... heard the conversation between me and Sister Xiaoxia?" Liang Xiaodi's voice was trembling, and she wished she could find a hole to crawl into immediately.
He Weining nodded: "That's why I have a deep impression of you. In fact, the first time I met you was in the elevator. Your clothes had a hole in them and you looked very embarrassed. Your ears were red and very cute."
She took a long breath and tried to keep herself calm: "You know I like you, you know I got your game ID wrong, and you know it was me who shot your glass, but you never told me, right?"
"yes."
Her eyes suddenly felt sore. She stood up, paced a few steps, and said softly, "So you know everything. Then...then I am just a joke in your eyes..."
"What a joke! Don't make assumptions." He Weining's face darkened, and he turned her shoulders and said seriously, "Liang Xiaodi, do you really think I can be so nice to anyone?"
"Isn't it?" She raised her head, her eyes filled with indescribable grievance, "You were very good to Yun Yinmiaomiao, taking her to the arena, and you were also very good to Bai Huizi, even taking her on business trips..."
"I have nothing to do with them." He Weining's expression became serious. "Just because of this, you are erasing all the good things I have done for you?"
She bit her lip guiltily.
He Weining put his hands in his pockets, raised his eyebrows, and asked, "Do you still remember the power outage in the company building a few months ago?"
Liang Xiaodi suddenly opened her eyes wide: "That day...you..."
He Weining nodded: "You told me you were afraid of the dark, so I rushed over immediately. Later, you spent money recklessly in the game, and I was afraid that you wouldn't have a good meal, so I asked you to buy lunch for me in the cafeteria. People who know me know that I have never eaten in the cafeteria in this company for so long."
Liang Xiaodi's mouth subconsciously opened into an O shape.
"Let's not talk about the past, let's just talk about today. Do you think I really ran into you guys by chance?"
"You...did you follow me out here on purpose?"
"You could have reacted a little slower." He Weining shook his head. "I didn't tell you the truth because I thought the time was not right. You thought I was playing a trick on you, but have you ever seen someone play a trick on someone like this?"
"No..." Liang Xiaodi shook her head subconsciously, "But speaking of timing... After you received the gift on Valentine's Day, you should at least give me a token of your appreciation. You didn't give me any response and even changed the time of your business trip, so of course I would overthink it..."
He Weining frowned: "Gifts? I did receive a lot of gifts on Chinese Valentine's Day, but not yours."
"What? I clearly put it in the left drawer!" Liang Xiaodi clenched his fists, "How could this happen!"
"There was nothing in the drawer on the left. I remember it very clearly." He Weining looked confident.
"Ah?" Did she make a mistake?
Liang Xiaodi was entangled for a long time, and finally, all her confusion was solved under his guidance. At this moment, she was deeply shocked and moved. She raised her head, her eyes full of embarrassment and regret: "That... Master, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you..."
Hearing her say this, He Weining finally let go of his worries. His little apprentice sometimes had a bad temper. He raised his lips and smiled playfully, "Oh, just say sorry and forget it?"
"Then what do you want to do?" Liang Xiaodi was at a loss and looked at him nervously.
He Weining pretended to be serious: "Just now in the game, I placed 9 vows of eternal love, but you didn't even show a single response."
"I..." The burning temperature spread throughout her body, and Liang Xiaodi's expression began to become unnatural.
"Forget it if you don't want to talk about it." He Weining stood up and was about to leave, but Liang Xiaodi suddenly grabbed him and said, " Don't go!"
"Hmm?" He Weining raised his eyebrows.
"I, I like you..." Liang Xiaodi said in a very low voice.
"What did you say?" He Weining put his hands against the wall and held Liang Xiaodi in his arms.
"I said, I like you!" Liang Xiaodi closed her eyes and shouted loudly. The next second, she felt a soft touch on her lips. She opened her eyes and saw He Weining's face close to her.
"I like you, too." He Weining whispered word by word into her blushing ear.
It took only one day for the news of Liang Xiaodi and He Weining being together to spread throughout the company, and everyone looked at them with complicated eyes. However, compared with everyone else, Liang Xiaodi, as the person involved, was still confused. Obviously, she had not yet adapted to the change in their relationship. When she was in the company, she would subconsciously avoid opportunities to be alone with him. If she had to contact him, she would only call him "Director He" in a slightly awkward manner.
For this, He Weining was very dissatisfied and "educated" her as soon as he got off work, but Liang Xiaodi was stubborn and kept evading him by saying "the company has a clear rule that office romance is not allowed". When that didn't work, she started to make a scene. He Weining had no choice but to let her go.
After a few trips, Liang Xiaodi's first business trip in her life came to an end.
Before the plane took off, He Weining deliberately changed his seat to be next to Liang Xiaodi. Everyone knew what was going on, but no one dared to comment.
"It's not good for you to sit here, right? Go back quickly!" Liang Xiaodi lowered his voice.
"It's just a seat, why are there so many comments?" He Weining held her hand tightly.
Liang Xiaodi blushed and behaved herself.
"My mother called me today and asked me how I was thinking about going home."
"Go home?" He Weining was a little surprised.
"She always felt that I was too far away from home here and wanted me to go back to work."
"What are your plans?" He Weining held her hand tighter.
"I told her that I have a boyfriend." Liang Xiaodi said in a very low voice, turned her head away, and looked out the window shyly, "So, I can't go back."
He Weining smiled and said to her with a firm look in his eyes: "Please tell my aunt that I will take good care of you."
This care was not just verbal care. He Weining, who always kept his word, started to implement it as soon as he returned to City X.
Two days later, Liang Xiaodi returned to work as scheduled after a break. After opening the QQ interface, the HR manager sent her a message asking her to come over.
"Sister Qin, is there anything I can help you with?" Liang Xiaodi went straight to the point.
"That's good news." Sister Qin smiled and handed her the regularization application form. "Your internship period is over. You can be regularized today. The position has been officially confirmed. From now on, you will be Director He's assistant."
"Really?" Liang Xiaodi was pleasantly surprised and looked at the list again and again.
"Don't you know?" Sister Qin looked puzzled, "Didn't Director He tell you?"
Liang Xiaodi shook her head. Sister Qin thought for a moment, "Last time he asked me to transfer you on a business trip, he didn't tell you?"
"He transferred me there?"
"You should ask him about these things." Sister Qin smiled ambiguously.
The new office is a cubicle in the director's office. The door is a glass door, so there is no secret. He Weining left the company for something. Liang Xiaodi packed up her things and sat down obediently. The sun shone in through the blinds, leaving her warm. She took a deep breath and enjoyed the faint floral scent in the room.
All this happened too suddenly, and she still couldn't adapt to it, so she wanted to find someone to share it with. As soon as it was lunchtime, she rushed out of the office and ran to Xiao Yunfei: "Xiao Fei, I didn't have time to find you after I came back, why don't we have lunch together? I brought..."
"I have an appointment today." Before she could finish, Xiao Yunfei interrupted her with a calm expression. Liang Xiaodi was stunned by her cold tone.
"Oh... I see." She smiled awkwardly, "Well... I brought you a gift." Then, she handed the beautifully wrapped gift box to Xiao Yunfei, "I hope you like it."
"Gift?" Xiao Yunfei frowned and didn't take it. "Thank you for your kindness. Please put it on the table first. I really have to leave now."
"Oh, okay!" Liang Xiaodi nodded repeatedly. Xiao Yunfei didn't even look at him and left with her bag.
Looking at Xiao Yunfei's departing back, Liang Xiaodi wondered if she was in a bad mood. Thinking of this, Liang Xiaodi placed the gift on Xiao Yunfei's desk, hoping that she would like it when she came back.
He Weining didn't come back until just before getting off work. He had taken a day off and decided to work overtime at night.
If he didn't leave, Liang Xiaodi naturally couldn't leave either. They were the only two left in the huge office that night. He Weining's shirt was not fully buttoned, revealing his attractive collarbone under the warm light. He worked seriously, and his focused and charming look made Liang Xiaodi stare straight at him.
He Weining suddenly turned around and met her infatuated gaze. Liang Xiaodi was immediately frightened. She took a big gulp of water and studied the cup carefully.
"What a bad acting." Her plump lips formed a smile. At this moment, He Weining was like a fox fairy in the book, who could easily see into her heart.
"Ahem!" Liang Xiaodi picked up a magazine to cover her red face and asked casually, "What did you do today?"
"Lu Zheng is undergoing dialysis. I'm going to accompany him."
Lu Zheng is He Weining's younger brother and suffers from uremia. Liang Xiaodi knew all this, so she didn't ask much. She just felt that it was a pity for Lu Zheng to have this disease at such a young age.
"We moved to a new office today. How do you feel about it?" He Weining typed on the keyboard and chatted with her in a casual manner.
"It's okay, but..." She bit the pen, "It seems that wherever I go, I will attract strange looks from everyone. Do you think they found out that I'm with you?"
He Weining couldn't help but laugh: "Why do you make us sound like we are not allowed to be seen in public? If they know, they know. There is nothing to worry about." He patted the chair beside him and waved to Liang Xiaodi, "Come here."
"But the company has a clear rule that office romances are not allowed..." Liang Xiaodi sat down next to him, "By the way, I heard from Sister Qin that it was you who transferred me to S City?"
