Yu Lexin is extremely shallow when it comes to looks. He only remembers good-looking people, talks a big game, and has practically zero dating experience.
He flirted with the most handsome guy in his high school class.
He had a crush on the top student at his school.
He fell for a guy with a nice voice while gaming.
He was happy to run errands for them, only to end up with nothing in return.
There was a tall, well-built intern who joined the company at the same time as Yu Lexin. Yu Lexin had been secretly crushing on him for almost three months.
When the time came to become full-time, the company cut positions.
Looking at the other guy's troubled expression, Yu Lexin froze. He couldn't bear to see him upset.
Ah, what should he do? Obviously, give up the position for him.
After all, he had other options. It wasn't as if he absolutely needed this job.
Watching the other guy smile and say thank you, Yu Lexin's heart fluttered. What a self-reliant person...
Then the director walked over and slammed a folder down in front of them, looking furious. "Are you two here to work or to fool around?"
Yu Lexin gazed at the director's stern face. His throat bobbed suspiciously, and he froze, his heart fluttering. Ah, what a decisive person!
Let's put it this way: he's staying at this company.
[Little Extra]
Xie Kanqing watches the company's newest intern engineer another cafeteria run-in without bringing his meal card. At long last, it dawns on him. Staring at the person across from him, head down and wolfing down his food, he suddenly asks, "I hear you've been sucking up to people all over the company?"
Yu Lexin's eyes go wide. It takes him a good while to find his voice. Looking astonished, as if he isn't the one who's been constantly hovering around Xie Kanqing, he says with great seriousness, "Who said that? Don't believe rumors or spread them."
Well... it's not like he does it with everyone.
"Oh? Then what's with all these daily run-ins?" Xie Kanqing gives him a casual glance. "Do you like me? Want to pursue me?"
Yu Lexin turns bright red and falls silent.
Stop staring at him. He's afraid he'll lose control and confess. He really doesn't want to get fired just because he walked into the company left foot first tomorrow.
2.
The two are secretly dating and blissfully happy. After one particularly frosty silent treatment, Yu Lexin sighs as he watches Xie Kanqing treat him like he's invisible.
He blames himself for being ruled by lust. Office romances really are a terrible idea.
Despairing, he fills out a resignation letter and submits it, ready to pack up and run.
The resignation quickly reaches Director Xie Kanqing. He clenches his fist in his office, furious, and rejects it without hesitation.
He storms over to Yu Lexin's work area, looking aggrieved. "What, you won't even keep your job for that man? You don't want me anymore, either? You like him that much?"
The work area falls silent. By the end of the day, the whole company knows that their new employee has some nerve... dumping their director.
Yu Lexin is so aggrieved he doesn't know what to say. He didn't! He hasn't!
