Jian Yan stared at this line on the computer screen, her mind inadvertently racing with distracting thoughts.

Will there be such a person to slowly grow old with her?

If this had been a month ago, her answer would certainly have been to deny it, but now, for some mysterious reason, He Xiu's face appeared in her mind.

...Today, she had fallen into the trap that was He Xiu's face and couldn't escape.

Tang Zhi: 「 I hope that there will be such a person (ノへ ̄、) 」

Nan Si: 「There definitely will be :)」

Nan Si: 「I will no longer disturb Teacher then. Teacher should rest early ^_^」

Tang Zhi: 「Okay ^_^」

After she sent this message, Nan Si's profile picture turned grey. Jian Yan opened the demo she had just downloaded and listened while opening her drawing software.

Just when she had finished listening to the twenty minute long demo of the first episode, she also finished drawing a portrait.

Of He Xiu.

This was the first time Jian Yan had drawn a man who existed in reality. Since his face had continually appeared before her eyes today, she didn't mind using him to perfect her drawing.

She stared at her realistic portrait for a short while before once again playing the demo. Sure enough, she still couldn't do two things at once. Just now, she had been so preoccupied with drawing that she had completely ignored the demo's audio.

After listening to it, her first reaction was to send a message to Sesame Paste. She then closed the drawing she had just drawn of He Xiu and began adding details to her Christmas Celebration illustration.

The next morning, she still had the early shift. During the early morning routine, the site manager announced that Director He Xiu was inviting all the employees of Fantasy Wardrobe to a meal. Because everyone was divided into two shifts for work, dinner would also be divided into two meals. This evening was their shift's turn.

He Xiu had previously told Jian Yan that he was going to treat everyone to food again, but she hadn't expected it to be so soon. Upon hearing that Director He was treating them all to a meal, her colleagues were elated, and morale as they worked in the morning was higher than normal.

At noon, Jian Yan still ate in the dining hall with He Xiu. He Xiu drank his soup before asking her, "Is there anything you want to eat tonight?"

Her colleagues had been discussing this question for a long time in the morning. Jian Yan recalled the option that had the highest amount of votes and said to He Xiu, "Everyone seems to want to eat at Lily's Barbecue."

He Xiu couldn't help but chuckle. "Lily's Barbecue belongs to Starlight General Merchandise. You all really know how to save me trouble."

""Eh..."

"But since all of you want to eat there, I will comply with popular will." After He Xiu finished speaking, he glanced at Jian Yan's lunchbox. "You're eating so much right now; will you still be able to eat later?"

He had realized that a large majority of female staff had not come to the dining hall for lunch in order to be able to eat his treated meal in the evening.

Jian Yan was completely carefree. "Don't worry. My friend frequently says my stomach is 128G."

He Xiu: "..."

Then he must experience this later.

After eating lunch with Jian Yan in the dining hall, he tidied up his lunchbox and returned to his office. Before he reached the doorway of his office, his phone rang from his coat pocket. He retrieved it and glanced at the screen. Tang Zheng was calling. He decided to let it continue ringing.
