Chapter 199: Chapter 199 Artificial respiration in the elevator
“Is it because of. . . Ms. Mo?”
Yao Waner’s question made my mouth twitch. Concealing the shock in my heart, I laughed and said, “Yesterday’s reason is not important. Today’s choice determines everything. Getting up after the fall is not to forget the pain, but to keep going, is it not? Therefore, the reason is really not important. What is important is that I will face tomorrow happily and strive to live better. ”
Did every woman all like to gossip? Did she not know that mentioning this in front of me would make me feel embarrassed? God knows what nonsense I was saying. But what made me even more speechless was that Yao Waner actually really began to think about the words I said. Then she smiled sweetly at me and looked at me with infinite admiration. “Elder Brother Nan, you are so cool.”
Cool? Which part of it was cool? The part about me losing a job? Or the part of me trying to pretend that I didn’t care? God damn it. If this was cool, then my cool was too damn hypocritical. . .
I chuckled bitterly and speechlessly. Why did I feel like I was fooling a naive little girl?
Yao Waner shyly stretched out her little hand to me. I thought she wanted to shake hands with me the last, but then I heard her say, “lend me your phone for a second.”
“Hmm?” It turned out that my effort to rub my paw on my trousers was meaningless, she didn’t want to shake hands with me. I lifted one of my legs and put the box on my knee, then I took out my phone with difficulty, “didn’t you bring yours?”
Yao Waner took my mobile phone and pressed it dexterously. Then she gave it back to me with a blushing face and said shyly, “Now you have my number. Although we may not see each other often in the future, if you have time. . . Er. . . Have time. . .”
Yao Waner stuttered. Before she finished speaking, she was suddenly interrupted by the elevator noise. Before I could press it, the elevator came up by itself and the door opened. Both the person in the elevator and I were shocked. It was Liusu.
Liusu’s lips slightly opened as if she wanted to say something, but when she saw the box in my arms, she paused and only gave me a complicated glance. Then she noticed Yao Waner who was standing next to me.
Yao Waner also saw Liusu. She was really shy. She bowed and nodded to Liusu in a flustered and respectful manner. Then she said, “It’s a deal then, B… Nan. . . Bye!” After that, she turned around and ran away like a startled bunny.
I was at loss for words. It was a deal then? What was the deal?
“Why are you still standing there? Come in. Are you reluctant to leave her?” Seeing that I was staring at Yao Waner’s back in a daze, Liusu interrupted my thought and said in jealousy.
“Huh, the smell of jealousy is so strong here? What did you eat?” I walked into the elevator with the box in my arms. I didn’t know how to explain my presence here at this moment, so I tried to tease her to distract her.
“Yes, jealousy was my lunch today.” Liusu also made a joke, pretending not to see the box in my hand. Without asking me, she helped me press the first floor button.
After I got the elevator door closed, we both fell silent for a while. Eventually, it was me who couldn’t bear the awkward quietness and sighed. Smiling bitterly, I asked, “You knew?”
Liusu nodded, “Mhm, Mo Fei told me everything yesterday.”
Then did she say that Mo Yizhi wanted me to resign because of her Father Complex? I would not be that shameless to ask this question. Instead, I asked, “you are not angry at me?”
Liusu stared at the flashing red numbers on the elevator door unblinkingly and asked, “why would I be angry at you?”
I shook the cardboard box, “I was too impulsive, haha, I resigned.”
“Not angry,” Liusu smiled faintly, “I also typed my resignation letter.”
This should be a surprising sentence, but the most surprising thing was that I was not surprised, “Don’t be like this, you have no reason to resign.”
“Why not?” Liusu turned her head and looked at me. She couldn’t pretend to be so calm anymore. She couldn’t help but pout her lips in grievance, “if you are leaving, then I will leave too. This is the reason!”
I know that she was feeling aggrieved for me. I took a step towards her and leaned my shoulder against hers, and smiled: “I can understand why you want to resign, but even if you want to follow your husband everywhere, have you thought about our future? We can’t just live off our savings, can we?”
“Huh! Who said you are my husband?!” What Liusu said in her mouth was completely contrary to her secretly happy expression, “And following you everywhere? You are so thick-skinned.”
“So you don’t want to marry me?” I showed a regretful expression and sighed: “Then I’ll go and marry someone else.”
Liusu almost subconsciously threatened: “I dare you!”
Seeing my lustful smile, she who was glaring at me realized that I was teasing her. She immediately kicked me in my calf embarrassedly and said, “all you know is teasing me. You are so bad!”
“Okay, okay, I am bad, I am bad. Hehe, but women like bad men, don’t they?” I jokingly said. Then I stopped teasing her and said, “but, Liusu, listen to me. Don’t resign just yet. Wait for me to find a new job, and settle down. Then if you still want to resign at that time, you can do it. At that time, whether you have a job or not is no longer important. I can give you money.”
“Who needs your money? I can support myself,” Liusu rolled her eyes at me, and her face became more flushed. She then suddenly asked with a smile, “Nan Nan, you don’t want me to resign immediately, just because you haven’t found a new job?”
As expected of Liusu. She really understood me well. I chuckled, “Fei . . About my resignation, she is feeling very guilty in her heart. We are friends after all. There are mainly two reasons I want you to say. Firstly, you can console her. Secondly, if we left the company together, it would only upset her even more. In addition, it would only make me look like a heartless person. . .”
“You are not a heartless person, you are just too kind,” Liusu’s sulky response made me speechless, “Nan Nan, she lied to you, but you are still thinking about her, I don’t know whether I should scold you for being too stupid, or praise you for being too nice.”
Even if I was a shameless person, I still couldn’t help but blush a little and said modestly: “beauty lies in the lover’s eyes. You are flattering me.”
“I’m not flattering you, I am not the only person who thinks you are a good man.” Liusu unexpectedly did not deny that she ‘loved’ me, and jealously said, “Yao Waner likes you, do you not know about it?”
I was shocked by these words and hurriedly clarified: “who said? Liusu, I know you can get jealous easily, but you need to know that she is just a colleague. She just came over to say goodbye to me. Your joke might ruin a girl’s reputation!”
“I’m not the kind of woman who likes to badmouth other people. She said it herself. Although she didn’t say it directly, when she chatted with Qin Lan, she always mentioned you from time to time. Yesterday when she heard that you were fired, she immediately ran to her aunt for help. After knowing that you had resigned, she seemed to be even more disappointed than I was.” Liusu seemed to be very confident about her guess, and she carried on, “we went to the canteen to discuss how we could make you stay. Then we heard people talking that they saw you come back to the company. She thought the elevator was too slow, she took the stairs instead. See, if she doesn’t like you, why did she need to run?”
No wonder she was panting. It turned out that she was climbing the stairs. But I had to reserve my opinion about whether she liked me or not. She might just be reluctant to part with colleagues. Girls, especially young girls, were very sentimental. Some girls would even burst into tears when parting with the people they had just met for a couple of months, let alone a colleague who had been working together for a year.
“More disappointed than you? And she took the stairs but you took the elevator? According to you, she loves me more than you?”
“Who said that, I love. . .” Before she finished speaking, Liusu suddenly reacted that she was almost fooled by me. The bratty girl’s face blushed like blood, “Nan Nan! Stop teasing me!” She said angrily and threw a soft punch at my chest.
What a pity, I almost heard Liusu’s true love confession! Although I was disappointed, I felt even more moved. So I carried on teasing her, “Ah! Such a powerful punch! I think I am dying. . .”
I was just unemployed, but I really didn’t want Liusu to worry about me, so I could only keep teasing her to distract her. I pouted shamelessly and said: “but I think artificial respiration might save me. Quick. Before I die completely.”
I was just joking, but I didn’t expect that Liusu who was almost as tall as me after wearing the high hell actually leaned forward and gave me a quick kiss on my lips. The soft touch and the lingering fragrance of her face in my nasal cavity made me a little confused, and my heartbeat suddenly accelerated. This feeling was even more intense than our first kiss. . .
