[Straightforward, sunny, and spirited girl x seemingly serious master of deadpan humor]
Mai Miao has recently been pursued relentlessly by a male coworker. After turning him down several times to no avail, the story somehow reaches her boss, Lu Jun.
Lu Jun calls her into his office to ask what's going on.
Upset and angry, Mai Miao blurts out, "Actually, I'm in love with you!"
Her usually aloof boss freezes. A moment later, he says, "All right, I understand. You can go back to work. Don't let this affect your job."
Mai Miao nods, then turns back before leaving and asks, "But, Boss, why are you blushing?"

When Hao Yingjun learns that the girl Lu Jun has secretly loved for years has joined the company, he teases him relentlessly. "Hey, pulling strings to get her in? Giving her special treatment? Oh my, the old iron tree is finally blooming!"
Lu Jun says, "Relax. I'm very good at keeping work and my personal feelings separate."
Later, Lu Jun somehow manages to bring up Mai Miao no matter what they're talking about. Just saying her name is enough to give him a lovestruck grin.
Having had his fill of their public displays of affection, Hao Yingjun snorts. "Here's a joke: you're very good at keeping work and your personal feelings separate."

Mai Miao's girlish feelings slipped out in a fit of anger, and she's not at all happy with how she confessed.
But she's optimistic and bighearted, so when Lu Jun seems uninterested, she quickly forgets the whole thing.
The next day, she greets Lu Jun as usual.
But Lu Jun says, "...Hi, good morning... Um... Well... Good morning..."
