Airheaded x Gentle x Cool and Aloof
On her first day at work, Ding Li spotted a woman with an older-sister vibe at the new employee check-in desk.
The woman wore a black shirt. The lines of her wrist bones were clean and sharp, and she held a fountain pen between her fingertips. When she lowered her eyes, her lashes cast a cool shadow beneath them.
"Name?"
"D-Ding Li..."
The woman didn't look up. The nib of her pen carved sharp strokes across the paper, the final line tilting slightly upward as she finished, just like her: cool, crisp, and impossible to approach.
Ding Li fell in love with her at first sight.
Later, Ding Li found out that the aloof supervisor she'd seen at the check-in desk that day was named Shen Shuyi.
She began pursuing Shen Shuyi.
They went to work together, pretended to bump into each other, added each other on WeChat, and chatted every day.
In less than three months, Ding Li had gotten to hold Shen Shuyi's hand.
Shen Shuyi wasn't quite what she'd imagined. She was actually a very gentle person.
She would cradle Ding Li's cheeks when they kissed, bake her soft, fragrant strawberry cakes, and read soothing love poems to her with her beautiful lips.
Ding Li blissfully lost herself in it. So this was how sweet an aloof supervisor could be when she fell in love...
Later, Ding Li followed Shen Shuyi home and saw another "Shen Shuyi."
"Hello, I'm Shen Shuyi's older sister, Shen Yili."
She had exactly the same face as Shen Shuyi, but was like ice that had never melted since time immemorial. Even her breathing felt oppressive.
The floodgates of memory burst open. Every fragment from the day of the check-in came rushing back, fitting perfectly over the cold face before her.
Ding Li finally understood. The woman with the older-sister vibe she'd fallen for at first sight was Shen Yili.
