“Ahhhhhhh! Why did I have to get drunk last night! Damn it, why do cocktails look so much like sodas! “Mmm mmm, hehe…”
And I had to get drunk in front of Wang Yan, and even had her send me home! Ahhh, I don’t even know what I did when I was drunk last night!
“Mmm mmm, hehe…”
When I woke up this morning, my mom was looking at me with that auntie’s smile, asking how things were developing between me and Wang Yan.
My dad, meanwhile, gave me a serious reminder to be careful of bad women outside! Just what happened last night when Wang Yan brought me home?!
“Mmm mmm, hehe…”
Also,
“I mean, Zhi Xian, what have you been giggling about this whole time? Are you even listening to what I’m saying!”
With her face flushed in shame and anger, Tang Jin’er slapped the table, making the milk tea on top tremble.
“Ah, sorry Jin’er, I got a little distracted…”
Ruan Zhi Xian scratched her fluffy golden head, looking a bit embarrassed as she apologized.
“Really, I’m talking to you about something serious…”
Tang Jin’er turned her head away with a ‘hmph,’ then picked up her own cup of jasmine milk cap green tea.
“So, what were you thinking about, looking so happy?”
“Yeah, Jin…”
At this, the blonde girl’s lips kept curving up like they’d been dipped in honey, her eyes shining with an unmistakable happiness.
“I think I finally understand why Lingling likes me so much.”
“So, Su Ling is the little girl you’ve been looking for all this time? And you figured it out from her ringtone?”
“No wonder! I always wondered why I’d never heard that song before, turns out it’s one of your ‘own’ songs, Zhi Xian.”
After hearing Ruan Zhi Xian’s story, Tang Jin’er’s eyes went wide in surprise, and even her stirring of the milk cap stopped.
As Zhi Xian’s close bestie, Tang Jin’er naturally knew she could sing a lot of “her own” songs. (Actually, they were all songs Ruan Zhi Xian knew from her previous life.)
“Mhm! That’s right! I only ever sang that song for A Qing! So, Lingling must be A Qing! Hehe…”
As she spoke, the golden-haired girl couldn’t help but giggle again.
“My god, I knew it! No wonder she likes you so much… That explains everything…”
“Wait, did you go and meet her, then, Zhi Xian?”
Tang Jin’er nodded with emotion, then asked curiously.
“Nope.”
The blonde girl shook her head honestly.
“Why not? Why haven’t you gone to meet her?”
Tang Jin’er was even more curious now.
“Aiya, A Qing—no, I mean Lingling—ah, wait, they’re basically the same…”
“In any case, since Lingling likes me so much, I’m sure she already knows who I am.”
Ruan Zhi Xian looked at her bestie very seriously, explaining word by word.
“And since she hasn’t come to meet me all this time, I guess she must be afraid of something…”
“Jin’er, you probably don’t know, but even though Lingling always looks so cool and a little yandere, she’s actually really timid when it comes to love.”
Her voice gradually softened, and then she picked up her own milk tea.
“And I promised I’d slowly change her, so she can truly believe how much I like her.”
“So, I want to wait until she tells me herself, to wait for the moment she finds her own courage.”
She moved her lips from the straw, then smiled radiantly.
“When that time comes, Lingling definitely won’t doubt my love anymore.”
“When that time comes, Lingling, who confesses to me herself, will be especially cute!”
Sigh, Zhi Xian is out drinking milk tea with Tang Jin’er again, I miss her so much…
***
In the office, Su Ling held her phone tightly, staring at the little dot on the screen that showed Ruan Zhi Xian’s location.
But I need to give Zhi Xian a bit of personal space too, that way she’ll like me even more…
The black-haired girl turned off her phone screen, hugging it close to her chest.
Hehe, yesterday on our date, Zhi Xian not only sang to me, she kissed me too, and this time it was on the lips! Hehehehe…
The big boss chair spun in place.
Sigh, I’m so bored…
After calming down, the black-haired girl stopped spinning in her chair, flopping over her desk instead.
Maybe I’ll go wander the break room for a bit, and see what everyone’s saying about me and Zhi Xian’s relationship…
Feeling pretty cheerful, the black-haired heiress straightened up and headed out.
Not long after, Su Ling arrived at the entrance to the secretarial department’s break room. Sure enough, just as she expected, the company break room was always full of gossip.
Only, today’s topic wasn’t about her and Ruan Zhi Xian, but rather—
“Hey, Guoguo, guess who I ran into at the mall yesterday on my day off, when I was shopping with my husband?”
Inside the break room, Sister Zhang held her cup and winked at Lin Guoguo, who was also slacking off.
“Who?”
Lin Guoguo’s face was full of curiosity.
“It was Xiao Wang and Miss Tang! The two of them were shopping at the mall together! And they looked really close too!”
“Guoguo, do you think Xiao Wang and Miss Tang have something going on? Just like our Miss and Miss Ruan?”
The female secretary enthusiastically shared her sighting from yesterday.
Huh? Wang-jie went on a date with Miss Tang? And just happened to be spotted by Sister Zhang… Wait, Wang-jie…
(Didn’t you say you were going to turn her confession down?!)
Lin Guoguo and Su Ling outside the door thought at the same time.
“Ahaha, how would I know? Maybe they’re just good friends…”
Though she was inwardly complaining about Secretary Wang’s actions, Lin Guoguo still tried to play it off.
“Anyway, I think their relationship definitely isn’t simple. Who knows, maybe they’ll confess soon!”
No! Actually, Miss Tang (Tang Jin’er) already confessed long ago!
“Haha, yes, you’re right, Sister Zhang.”
“Hehe, of course, Guoguo, this is all experience from someone who’s been there~”
“Guoguo, you know, a good confession is really important for a relationship.”
“Because a confession isn’t just the end of ambiguity, it gives both sides a title and a sense of security. It’s also the beginning of a love story. A good confession writes a clear prologue for a relationship, and when you look back years later, it becomes a new source of strength for your feelings.”
“Wow, Sister Zhang, that’s so philosophical…”
The young secretary exclaimed with admiration.
“Hehe, that’s right. Back when my husband…”
So that’s it. Confessing is such an important thing…
Come to think of it, is there something missing in my relationship with Zhi Xian? Something as romantic as a confession?
Standing outside the door, Su Ling listened to the female secretary’s advice and began to think on her own.
Back then, I just cried and apologized, and then Zhi Xian said she liked me…
No, no, Zhi Xian deserves what everyone else has too!
That’s it, I’m going to prepare a brand new, romantic confession for Zhi Xian! I’ll really pour my heart out this time!
The black-haired girl left the break room door, her dark eyes burning with determination.
