Chapter 14Does he like me?

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, spring is coming to an end, and Chi Xia's koi home has also been replaced with summer crops. Although she said, "It's time for double probability again," she still couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth every time she saw the black figure busy in the grass online. Sometimes, she would help ZE725 work together, and sometimes, she would stand beside him quietly, doing nothing. Sometimes, she would spend her lunch break fishing, hoping to catch a five-star fish to repay his "favor" for giving her the only one he had. After watching ZE725 drive the last chicken into the chicken coop, she couldn't help but murmur to herself: "It's almost Chinese Valentine's Day..."I don't know what kind of Chinese Valentine's Day activities koi will launch. Last week, Fu Sheng just informed the operations colleagues of koi's project department that everyone must come up with a plan for the superiors to review, but Chi Xia still has no clue. As a player, she Naturally, she hopes to get more benefits in such a symbolic festival, but as a member of this project, she has to consider more than this. In the midst of trouble, a series of Z-shaped symbols appeared on the head of the pink villain. What pulled Chi Xia out of his confusion was the news from ZE725. He asked: "What happened to Qixi Festival? "Chi Xia's fingers stayed on the nine-square grid, not knowing how to reply. First of all, she definitely couldn't tell him her confusion truthfully. If he knew that she was an insider of koi, she didn't know what the consequences would be. Secondly, she I can't think of any other excuses to get through. The other party has been standing quietly next to Chi Xia, seeming to be waiting for her answer. Xia Tian: "No, I just find it very strange. Xia Tian: "I have never celebrated Chinese Valentine's Day before." "This sentence is true. Looking back on that unforgettable relationship, even the memories that came up were blurry. Chi Xia only felt that they were more like being randomly posted on the same piece of paper than a couple. The picture above. A relationship that started in a hurry and then ended in vain. What does it feel like to spend a memorable holiday with the person you truly love? But she couldn't imagine it. She even thought pessimistically that she might never meet a soul mate in this life. But maybe, in this modern society with rapid technological development, this is the only way for everyone. They are all busy and burdened with various KPIs, and their tired eyes cannot even tolerate the tears of another person. On the contrary, in koi, when Chi Xia and this stranger were sitting by the river listening to the background music in the game, When they looked at the soft moonlight falling on their shoulders, they felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility. Could this be Yu Ningze's original idea? Was he trying to create this kind of difference in this chaotic world? Such a utopia? When she thought of his name, Chi Xia became uncontrollably irritated. When she thought that his phone call in the toilet that day was clearly heard by him, the anger in her heart rushed to her head uncontrollably. He scratched his head and raised his head to see the message from netizen ZE725: "Have you never been in love? "It's really a very direct question. Xia Tian: "Haha, we talked about it once, but it felt different from what I imagined. "Xia Tian:" What about you? "Although the last sentence was just a polite rhetorical question, she actually had no intention of exploring the stranger's private life. She also felt that as far as their current relationship was concerned, it seemed that they had not yet reached the stage of sharing the past with each other. But ZE725 answered very honestly: " I have never been in love. " Chi Xia was a little surprised. Combined with his labels that he clearly looked like a tech nerd, a vague shadow appeared in her mind. In her imagination, he should be a boy who likes to wear Uniqlo red plaid shirts, not tall. , about 175 years old, wearing a pair of glasses with lenses thicker than beer bottle caps, and having pimples on his face from staying up late writing code. It is really a very strong stereotype, but because of this imagination, the person in front of me seems to have changed. It had to be concrete. He was no longer the cute black briquette, but a real person. So she asked cautiously: "Why? Have you not met anyone you like? " ZE725: "You can also say the same. "Xia Tian:" What type of girls do you like? "The other party didn't answer immediately. Chi Xia looked at the sentence she sent out and read it word by word several times, tasting a hint of ambiguity. So she added: "I can help you introduce it, haha. Ha ha. " But the atmosphere became a bit more awkward than before. ZE725 finally spoke: "..." Chi Xia was a little confused. What does the ellipsis mean? Based on her surfing level, did he feel speechless? ? Just when he was about to ask, the other party went offline at the speed of light, leaving Chi Xia alone in the lush field. What happened just now? But why? Because she said she wanted to introduce him to someone? Chi Xia picked up the pen and put it against her chin. No matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't think of a reason. So after repeated reasoning, she came to the conclusion that it might be ZE725. Do you like me? Although this guy is usually diligent in farming, koi is a serious dating app. If it is not for the purpose of making friends, why would he download it if he just wants to farm? What's more, he also gave himself a five-star fish, and was very patient when listening to her nonsense... Those originally meaningless actions were now magnified ten thousand times, and they were carefully examined. Now, even her unintentional actions became ulterior. Thinking of this, Chi Xia felt her heartbeat gradually speeding up, and a heat that was hard to ignore came from her earlobes. She looked through the chat history between herself and him. , even every punctuation mark confirmed her illogical conjecture. Chi Xia couldn't help but hammer the table, which attracted a sideways glance from Su Yinuan, who was sitting next door. "What's wrong, young lady, you're shocked. At first glance. "Chi Xia didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so she could only grin wildly. Su Yinuan was about to say something when a voice from the front broke the silence of the office. Even without looking up, Chi Xia could tell that it was Fu Sheng's voice. "Friends, please put aside the work at hand. I have something to announce." Almost at the same time, everyone in the office raised their heads and looked at Fu Sheng. Of course, Chi Xia was no exception. She saw Fu Sheng's face. Wearing the same white shirt and black leather shoes as always, and the beautiful face standing next to him, it was incompatible with the entire background wall. Although it had been some time since the last party that did not leave many good memories for Chi Xia, when she saw this somewhat arrogant face again, she still recognized it at once. Mr. Ye's sister and Director Yu's girlfriend. Regardless of her identity, her presence in the office of the Operations Department is a bit confusing. Su Yinuan leaned into Chi Xia's ear and whispered, "Isn't this that person? Why is she here?" Before Chi Xia could speak, Fu Sheng announced in a loud voice: "This is the new guy in our department. Intern Ye Xi, she will spend this summer with us. I hope everyone can help her." As soon as Fu Sheng's last syllable fell to the ground, the words "Guan Hu" came to Chi Xia's mind. intern? Chi Xia observed Ye Xi's dress intently, and felt that she was not worthy of her identity. Although halo does not have a strict dress code, it is rare to see such "grand" attire. Ye Xi wore a white printed tutu skirt, and every decorative part of her body was dotted with eye-catching jewelry, as if she were a real-life Barbie coming out of the box. Scattered applause scattered in every corner of the office. Colleagues looked at each other. Although they didn't say anything, their faces were full of colors and indescribable embarrassment. Fu Sheng looked around and said thoughtfully: "I want to think about where it would be better to arrange you... By the way, didn't you say you like the Koi project very much? Chi Xia!" Chi Xia looked like He stood up as if his head had been struck by lightning. His facial muscles were stiffer than bacon that had been dried for a month. Before she could react, Fu Sheng led Ye Xi to her side. Fu Sheng patted Chi Xia on the shoulder, winked at her, and then said seriously: "Old Zhao has a lot of things going on there. I think you should have learned a lot from following him. Everyone has made progress in the past few months. It's obvious to all, so the task of taking care of the interns will be left to you." Chi Xia glared at him and smiled at him. Although she seemed calm on the surface, she had already scolded Fu Sheng bloody in her heart. Well, you Fu Sheng, you knew it was a mess and just left it to me, right? Who of the people who went to the party that day didn't know that he and Ye Xi were having a bad time, and yet you assigned her to me? Do you think the matter is not big enough? Was it calculated that other people would not be willing to take over this hot potato, so it was left to the newcomers who had no say? He is said to be the manager of the operations department, but he has no sense of responsibility at all. He is the first to throw away the blame, and he seizes the credit faster than anyone else. Just looking at him makes him angry. Although she was thinking this, Chi Xia still took a deep breath, then put on a gentle expression and stretched out her hand towards Ye Xi. "Hello Ye Xi, my name is Chi Xia. I just joined the company not long ago. If you don't understand anything, you can ask me more in the future." Ye Xi gently pinched Chi Xia's index finger and asked with a suspicious look in his eyes: "You just joined the company not long ago. Maybe you don't know as much as I do. Can you really lead me?" Chi Xialeng stayed in place and even forgot to take back his hand. When Fu Sheng saw this, he immediately explained to her: "That's right, Ye Xi comes to our company for internship every year, but this is the first time to come to the operations department, right?" After saying that, he turned to Ye Xi in a flattering way, still Wearing that mean smile. Ye Xi just sneered: "Forget it, it doesn't matter whoever leads it. If you don't know, I can go to Aze...Director Yu." Hearing Director Yu say these three words, Chi Xia only felt that he Rather than picking up a hot potato, this is simply holding the sun in your hand. I think it was not so difficult for Hou Yi to shoot the sun back then. She just watched blankly as Ye Xi walked to the free workstation, put down her brand-name bag, and pressed the power button of the computer skillfully. Chi Xia feels that her next working time may not be too easy.
