A big speechless incident just happened (2)

Because it rained again in the early morning, it wasn’t too hot this morning, and the atmosphere in the office wasn’t as heavy.

Yue Qianling arrived relatively early, and there weren’t many people at their desks. Yin Qin glanced at her, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, but she didn’t say anything and just turned her head to chat with others.

Shortly after, Huang Jie arrived. She sat down next to Yue Qianling. As soon as she put down her bag and looked over, she suddenly bent down and leaned over.

“Huh? You didn’t put on makeup today?”

“Yes,” Yue Qianling said, “I slept a little longer this morning.”

“Oh, you’re finally tired of it, aren’t you?” Huang Jie sat down and said with a smile, “I used to see you dressing up so beautifully every day, and I admired you for not even needing a few extra minutes of sleep. It turns out you can also be lazy.”

Yue Qianling pursed her lips noncommittally.

Because she didn’t wear makeup, she could rub her eyes and take a nap on the desk when she was sleepy. Her hair was tied neatly behind her head, so it wouldn’t block her line of sight. Even her work efficiency had improved a lot.

There were still more than twenty minutes until lunch break, and she had already finished her current work.

Out of boredom, she scrolled through Weibo, and a message suddenly popped up on WeChat.

Luo Tuo spoke in the group that had been silent for a whole day.

​​【Luo Tuo】: @GlutinousRiceTwist, are you okay now?

【Glutinous Rice Twist】: Of course, I’m fine.

​​【Luo Tuo】: That’s good.

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: But let me tell you, I actually became neighbors with him. I’m truly speechless.

​​【Luo Tuo】: …Fate.

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: What fate? Do you know how speechless I was when I found out yesterday?!

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: I feel like I’m going to die of embarrassment!

​​【Luo Tuo】: Uh… What’s there to be embarrassed about? Just take it easy.

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: How can I take it easy? It’s so embarrassing. He must think I’m being a stalker and intentionally moved to the door opposite him!

​​【Glutinous Rice Twist】: Okay. I’m not going to talk about it anymore. I’m going to eat now.

Yue Qianling locked her computer and stood up with Huang Jie.

At this time of day, there were already many people heading to lunch, so the elevator entrance was crowded.

Yue Qianling and Huang Jie waited until the second round to get into the elevator.

However, when she looked up, she saw Gu Xun and Yi Hong inside.

Yue Qianling: “……”

She nodded to Yi Hong, and then turned her back to them.

But her shoulders were tense.

It seemed like the heavens really didn’t want her to have an easy time.

Huang Jie didn’t notice Yue Qianling’s abnormality and chatted with Yi Hong all the way.

When they got off the elevator, Yi Hong casually said, “Let’s eat together.”

Huang Jie turned to Yue Qianling, “We’ll go together, right?”

In just a few seconds in the elevator, Yue Qianling felt her back was about to ache.

And when Huang Jie said that, Yue Qianling’s nerves all tensed up, and she subconsciously wanted to refuse.

Unfortunately, Huang Jie wasn’t asking Yue Qianling’s opinion at all. She directly took her hand and pulled her away.

Lunch time was short, and most of the restaurants were also crowded, so they chose a fast food restaurant with high efficiency

The LED screen above the ordering counter displayed the dishes of the day, with two meat, one vegetable dish, and a complimentary soup as a set.

After Huang Jie and Yi Hong ordered their food, it was Yue Qianling’s turn.

Yue Qianling felt that Gu Xun was standing right behind her, and her body and mind were so tense that she felt somewhat floaty.

She tilted her head, looked for a while, and told the waiter, “I want steamed pork ribs with glutinous rice, a Kung Pao chicken, and also blanched lettuce hearts.”

The waiter took note of her order, then turned to Gu Xun and asked, “And for you, sir?”

Gu Xun withdrew his gaze that had been fixed on Yue Qianling’s back, looked up at the LED screen, and after a moment, his eyes gently swept over Yue Qianling again.

“Steamed pork ribs with glutinous rice, kung pao chicken, and blanched lettuce hearts.”

Yue Qianling: “……”

She frowned, turned back to look at Gu Xun, and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.

But in the end, she pursed her lips and turned away.

After sitting down, Yi Hong looked around and saw the self-service beverage station, so he asked, “What do you want to drink? I’ll get it for you.”

Huang Jie: “I want orange juice!”

Yue Qianling: “I’ll have sour plum soup, thank you.”

Yi Hong nodded, and when he got up, he said to Gu Xun, “You want cola, right? I’ll get it for you too.”

Gu Xun was about to agree, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Yue Qianling staring at her phone, she looked like she had forgotten herself.

He furrowed his brow and said, “I want sour plum soup.”

Yue Qianling: “……?”

Her eyes flashed, and she raised her head to look at Gu Xun.

Gu Xun was also staring at her.

Their eyes met for a moment, and Yue Qianling hid the panic in her eyes and lowered her head again.

***

This meal only took half an hour, but for Yue Qianling, it felt like an eternity.

Coupled with the hot and dry weather, Yue Qianling’s forehead was covered in a fine layer of sweat when she walked out of the restaurant.

Seeing this, Yi Hong asked, “Do you want an iced coffee?”

Coincidentally, Yue Qianling also felt a bit sleepy, so she nodded and said, “Sure.”

Next door was a Starbucks. The four of them walked in, and there was no queue at the checkout counter.

Yi Hong and Huang Jie ordered first. When it was Yue Qianling’s turn, she ordered a cup of iced Americano as usual.

Then she turned and walked to the other side.

However, just as she took a step forward, she heard Gu Xun saying to the cashier, “One cup of iced Americano.”

Yue Qianling paused her steps and thought about turning around but she held herself back.

On the other side, Huang Jie waved at Yue Qianling in front of a counter. “They have new cups! They’re so cute! Come and take a look!”

Yue Qianling immediately walked over quickly.

The counter not far away was filled with water cups. Huang Jie and Yue Qianling were enthusiastically choosing. Yi Hong glanced at them, and suddenly remembered something. He turned to ask Gu Xun, “Didn’t your cup break a few days ago? Do you want to buy a new one while we’re here?”

Gu Xun looked towards that side and nodded.

Yue Qianling was bending down to choose.

She just moved, and she hadn’t brought her cup from the dormitory with her, so she needed a new one for her new place.

She didn’t like cups that were too flashy. After browsing for a while, she settled on a plain black cup.

However, as soon as she picked up the box, another hand reached over and took one of the same cups.

Yue Qianling was stunned for a moment. She turned her head, and sure enough, she met Gu Xun’s gaze.

Her eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Her lips moved slightly as if she wanted to say something.

But after waiting for a while, seeing that she didn’t seem to have the intention to speak, Gu Xun asked, “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

Yue Qianling frowned, picked up the cup, and went to pay.

Gu Xun leisurely stood behind her and said, “If you have something to say, just say it.”

But Yue Qianling acted as if she hadn’t heard him and, after paying, she turned to find Huang Jie.

***

Back at her desk, Yue Qianling unpacked the cup and was about to rinse it with hot water when her phone on the desk suddenly rang.

【Xiao Mai】: Entertainment lunch chicken, anyone?

【Glutinous Rice Twist】: Not coming, I’m at the office.

【Glutinous Rice Twist】: A big speechless incident just happened.

【Luo Tuo】: What happened?

【Glutinous Rice Twist】: I ran into that Gu Xun again. Do you know what he did?

【Glutinous Rice Twist】: He ordered the same dishes as me, drank the same drinks, bought the same coffee, and even chose a cup identical to mine!

【Luo Tuo】: Huh?

【Glutinous Rice Twist】: I really wanted to say something to him at the time, but considering there were so many people around, I held back.

This time, Luo Tuo didn’t reply, but another person chimed in.

【School Grass】: What did you want to say?

【Glutinous Rice Twist】: I wanted to tell him…

【Glutinous Rice Twist】: Dolly the cloned sheep only lived for six years.

【School Grass】: ……[Smile]
