[BE, Reunited After a Long Separation]
Wu Siyiyi had originally planned to stay here for the next few days, and she'd been determined about it. But Xu Yiyuan kept refusing, saying she was really fine and just wanted to be alone and have some space. She didn't want to take up Wu Siyiyi's time, either, and kept turning her down. Wu Siyiyi couldn't force her, so she stayed a little longer, only leaving at eleven that night.
After seeing Wu Siyiyi off, Xu Yiyuan could no longer stand the moment she stepped through the door. She slid down against it and onto the floor, wrapped her arms around her knees, and buried her face. The feelings she'd been holding back for so long finally broke through, and she began to cry silently.
She forced herself to believe that this would be the last night she cried over this. After tonight, she couldn't keep thinking about it or languishing any longer. She had to keep living and focus on her work. She had to stop thinking about what had happened between her and Cheng Yuke.
The next day, Xu Yiyuan got up early and put on makeup to hide her swollen, red eyes. She wore bright-colored clothes to make herself look more lively, then drove to the office to bring things for her teammates and discuss the details of the new project.
She came back to life, becoming the radiant, poised, kind, and energetic Lris once again.
Xu Yiyuan carried a large number of bags into the office, stumbling as she went. She saw He Wu waiting by the elevator.
He Wu had been looking around. As soon as she recognized Xu Yiyuan, she hurried over and gave her a hug. "Long time no see, Lris. Let me help you carry those."
"Long time no see, Florence." Xu Yiyuan handed her the things she was carrying in one hand. The handle had cut into her palm, making it swell and redden.
