On the first day Chu Qiao joined the design department, she was warned that the team leader Lu Zhe'an was strict and taciturn and never showed mercy when doing business.
In the days when they worked together day and night, she always encountered his "exceptions" - the detailed comments marked line by line when revising the draft, the hot meal silently placed on the corner of the table during overtime, and the figure who stood in front of her immediately when the project went wrong.
She just took it as her boss's careful attention and didn't dare to think too much about it. No one in the entire department expected that Lu Zhe'an, who had always been cool and self-possessed, would hide his heartbeat in countless days of working side by side.
Until the project celebration night, when the street lights overlapped their shadows, he whispered: "Chu Qiao, I have never been a colleague to you."
It turns out that in the nine-to-five relationship, all his tenderness and preference had been given to her in their day-to-day work together.
