After quickly wearing the second male lead who was rejected

At noon, Zhong Xiyao went to the first floor to pick up the takeaway she ordered.

She ordered the spicy hot pot with tomato soup flavor. Tomato flavor is her favorite. But she loves food, and tomato flavor is the kind she would eat first.

After taking the takeaway, Zhong Xiyao took the elevator to the tenth floor. She noticed the pretty lady at the front desk was eating a light meal and asked, "Which light meal is this? It looks good."

The pretty lady at the front desk said: "I made this myself. Would you like some?"

Zhong Xiyao shook her head. "No, no, maybe next time. If I want to eat it, I'll buy one from you in advance."

The pretty girl at the front desk smiled and said, "Why are you being so polite? It's just a meal."

Zhong Xiyao: "No, no, no, I still want it. I'm going to eat first, sister, you eat slowly."

The pretty girl at the front desk: "Yaoyao is so cute."

Zhong Xiyao smiled shyly, her bangs always adorable, and she wore large black-framed glasses. Her long black hair was tied into two pigtails, giving her a very cute look.

As soon as Zhong Xiyao reached her workstation, she saw her boss standing at the office door with a frown on his sparse eyebrows, yelling at the cleaning lady who was lowering her head: "How many times have I told you! You need to clean up those dirt and grime hiding in the corners. I went to get some documents from the filing cabinet today, and some of them were bitten by cockroaches. If this damages important documents, how are you going to compensate me?!"

There were still some people eating lunch in the office area, and the smell of various foods mixed together, making the air turbid.

Zhong Xiyao placed her takeout at her workstation. She pursed her lips, hesitant about whether to speak up for the cleaning lady. She was a very nice person. She was petite, neatly dressed, and a hardworking, clean woman.

Maybe the boss was scolded by the boss's wife this morning, so he went to the cleaning lady to vent his dissatisfaction.

At this moment, Zhong Xiyao noticed that two long, thin tentacles similar to long whiskers were extending from behind the boss's collar.

Zhong Xiyao froze. She was terrified of this thing. It had appeared in her home when she was little, and all the insecticide sprays hadn't killed it. She still remembered standing outside the kitchen, through the transparent sliding door, watching her parents in the kitchen, wearing masks and spraying them.

Then, as the sliding door opened, a terrifying insect with flapping wings flew towards her and landed directly on her face, frightening her so much that she burst into tears.

From then on, Zhong Xiyao developed a fear of this kind of insect.

"What are you looking at?" The boss noticed Zhong Xiyao's gaze and asked unhappily.

Zhong Xiyao raised her trembling hands slowly, pointed at the boss's collar, and said fearfully: "Boss... Boss, your collar..."

The boss frowned even more tightly. "What's wrong with my collar?" he said, reaching out to touch his collar.

Zhong Xiyao took a deep breath. She was an adult now, and there was no need to be so scared of a cockroach. So Zhong Xiyao suppressed her fear and shouted, "Boss! There's a cockroach on your collar!"

The boss was shocked. "What did you say?! There are cockroaches!!!"

Suddenly, the cockroach crawled out from the boss's collar.

Because of Zhong Xiyao's shout, everyone who was eating in the office looked up and happened to see the cockroach crawling onto the boss's face.

The boss obviously noticed that there was a cockroach on his face. He pretended to be calm and whispered, "Someone come quickly and get this cockroach off!" His tone was fast and urgent, as if he was about to shout in the next second.

The employee who was still eating covered his meal with a lid first, then stood up with a tissue and walked towards the boss.

To be honest, most people still feel disgusted when they see cockroaches.

Because when a cockroach appears, it means there is a nest of cockroaches here.

But since this cockroach is on the boss's face, I have to go forward and make my presence felt no matter what.

So several people surrounded the boss, forming a semi-encircled circle, trapping the boss inside.

The boss looked at the various tools in the hands of the people in front of him, some of whom were even holding wrenches. He subconsciously shouted, "No! You'll hurt my face!"

When he said this, the others suddenly dared not move. Just when everyone didn't know what to do.

Suddenly, there was a snapping sound.

The originally noisy environment suddenly became quiet.

It turned out that the cleaning lady had taken a wet rag and blew it on the side of the boss's face where the cockroach was.

"I caught it." The cleaning lady crumpled the wet rag into a ball, threw it into the bucket, and closed the lid. After doing all this, the cleaning lady walked away with the bucket in her hand, like a hero, under the admiring eyes of everyone.

Only the boss was left with a confused look on his face.

The boss slowly raised his hand and touched the wet side of his face. He murmured in disbelief, "She just hit me in the face..."

"No, no, boss, don't you have a cockroach on your face? Auntie is helping you." Soon, someone explained, and the others echoed, "Yes, yes."

But the boss left here in a daze, mumbling something. No one knew where he was going, but they only knew that the boss would not be here this afternoon.

But there is still a problem facing everyone.

That means there are cockroaches in the boss's office. And there's probably more than one.

So someone quietly closed the boss's office door.

It seems that as long as cockroaches are trapped in the office, they will not appear in the office area.

Zhong Xiyao sat silently in her chair. She was still a little frightened. Her fear of cockroaches did not diminish even in the face of tomato-flavored spicy hot pot.

But when she opened the takeaway lid, the aroma of tomato soup soothed Zhong Xiyao's wounded heart.

It turns out that delicious food can heal everything.

Seeing that nothing was wrong, the other employees returned to their seats and continued eating.

When she was almost done eating, Zhong Xiyao put the lid back on and walked out of the company gate with her takeout bag. She went to the big green trash can at the corner of the stairs to throw away the trash. After throwing away the trash, Zhong Xiyao thought about going to the bathroom to wash her hands.

I happened to meet the cleaning lady cleaning the mirror in the bathroom.

After hesitating for a while, Zhong Xiyao said to the cleaning lady, "Auntie, don't take what the boss said to heart."

The cleaning lady paused. She looked to be in her fifties or sixties. Her hair, a mixture of black and white, was neatly tied up behind her head. She looked very energetic.

"Little girl, I've seen a lot of men like this. When they're upset with their wives, they only take it out on people who are weaker than them. I won't take such a man to heart, because that would be so painful." The cleaning lady smiled gently, then changed the subject and continued, "But there are cockroaches here, and we have to find time to deal with them. After you all get off work, I'll go spread some of that stuff and clean up as much as I can."

I heard that cockroaches, like rats, can understand human language. So you can't just tell them to spray cockroach spray. Otherwise, the cockroaches will just hide and not show up.

Zhong Xiyao understood this very well.

"Thank you for your hard work, Auntie. But I didn't see any cockroaches when I came here before. Why did they appear today?" After washing her hands, Zhong Xiyao took out a large tissue and started wiping her hands.

The cleaning lady thought for a moment before whispering, "I heard the water pipes in the food court nearby aren't properly connected, so they're constantly leaking. Plus, there aren't many people near the food court, so businesses that opened there aren't willing to continue operating there. So, the food court is now abandoned. Those cockroaches are probably coming from there."

"Ah, cockroaches can run so far." Zhong Xiyao frowned slightly.

The cleaning lady said: "Cockroaches like to run to places where people hang out. You should pay more attention to them."

Zhong Xiyao: "Okay, thank you Auntie, you go ahead with your work, I'll leave first." After she said that, she threw the tissue she used to wipe her hands into the trash can, then turned and left the bathroom.

She also knew the food court that the cleaning lady mentioned, and had eaten there once after get off work.

It's not close to the subway. When you get out of the subway, you'll see her company building. Another four or five hundred meters ahead is the food court.

When she visited, most of the businesses in the food court had been converted to takeout. She heard someone ate a piece of rat tail while eating there, and over time, no one wanted to go there anymore. Unexpectedly, after just a few days, the food court was deserted.

I don’t know what the food court will be changed to next time.

Zhong Xiyao returned to her workstation and greeted Chen Li when she saw her. "Sister Chen, you're back from lunch. What did you have for lunch?"

Chen Li would always answer the questions of this sweet-voiced girl with a smile: "I didn't eat anything delicious. I just had a fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl at the convenience store."

"Fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl! That's good too. I'll buy some to try someday." Zhong Xiyao said happily, "I always buy snacks and drinks at convenience stores. I didn't know they had fish-flavored shredded pork rice bowl." Although she had seen convenience stores sell rice balls and noodles, she always went for the snacks and drinks. She also loved fish-flavored shredded pork and would buy some to try tomorrow.

"You greedy girl." Chen Li smiled slightly and teased Zhong Xiyao.

Zhong Xiyao laughed cheerfully twice.

The afternoon passed quickly. Zhong Xiyao packed up her things and left work on time like everyone else.

In their company, people only work overtime when the boss is around. When the boss is not around, no one is willing to work overtime.

Of course, the boss lady wouldn't ask her employees to work overtime when she was around. Except for the customer service staff, they all worked in another office area, on the 11th floor, and were usually not seen there.

After leaving the building, Zhong Xiyao glanced towards the food court from afar.

The food court lost its dazzling lights, like a place stripped of its splendid exterior. From Zhong Xiyao's perspective, the food court looked even more desolate.

She looked away, thinking that she should get home quickly as she had to change food for the white cat.

Thinking of this, Zhong Xiyao opened the post she had posted on her mobile phone again.

The post is no longer popular, and the rest are all asking if the cat is suitable for adoption.

If she couldn't find the owner of the white cat, Zhong Xiyao actually planned to adopt it herself.

After all, the white cat was exactly what she liked.

However, she also asked Dr. Raphael to help find the owner of the white cat. She wondered if Dr. Raphael had found it. Thinking of this, Zhong Xiyao sent a message to Raphael.

Zhong Xiyao: "Dr. Raphael, have you found the owner of the white cat?"

Soon, Raphael replied to Zhong Xiyao's message.

It’s just that Zhong Xiyao had just entered the subway gate by scanning her face, and she still had to catch the subway.

After Zhong Xiyao got on the subway she was going to take, she took out her cell phone to read the message Raphael sent her.

Dr. Raphael said, "We haven't found it yet. I've asked other veterinary hospitals, but they all said they don't have any information about this cat. Perhaps it's a stray. If you're interested, Miss Zhong, you can adopt one yourself. If you're not interested in raising a kitten, leave it to me. I'll find a home for this adorable kitten."

Looking at the message from Raphael, Zhong Xiyao fell into deep thought. Why was the tone of this person's message a bit strange? The interjections were all "ah, oh". Maybe it was Raphael's habit.

Zhong Xiyao: "Let's take a look. If I can't find it, I will adopt it."

After sending the message, Zhong Xiyao turned off her phone.

On the other side, Gu Chang also finished work and returned home.

The workload this time is quite heavy. He has to shoot a vlog of a newcomer, as well as interviews and so on.

Gu Chang returned home with a look of fatigue on his face. To be honest, he hadn't eaten much at lunch today, and only drank a cup of coffee to stay alive. If he wasn't a demon, he would have starved to death long ago.

Yu Guanmiao even praised him, saying that his melancholy look matched the concept of her new clothing design.

Fortunately, when I got home, Ike had prepared a variety of delicious food, including beauty-enhancing soup.

"Thank you, Mr. Ike." Gu Chang took off his coat and Ike took it.

"Mr. Artis, your current condition is not right. As a demon, it is useless to rely solely on human food. In the next two days, I will find Miss Yu to explain the situation. You should take advantage of these two days to find a suitable food source." Ike frowned slightly, his tone a little serious.

Gu Chang nodded and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ike. I will go look for it."

After dinner, Gu Chang took a bubble bath to relieve his fatigue.

When the time came, Gu Chang came out of the bathtub, casually draped a bath towel over his body, and then walked out of the bathroom.

After drying his hair and changing into clean pajamas, Gu Chang took out his mobile phone and searched for the name Feng Yiheng.

He thought he wouldn't find any information, but unexpectedly, there was a news report that Feng Yiheng was the top scorer in the college entrance examination. It was said that Feng Yiheng's family was a family of doctors for generations, and in ancient times, his ancestors had served as imperial physicians in the palace.

Gu Chang thought that if he met Feng Yiheng tonight, they would exchange contact information.

This also makes it convenient for the two to meet.

Before going to bed, Gu Chang still opened the competitive mobile game.

As soon as he came online, he found another friend request.

At first glance, he was one of the five people from last night, and his ID was Ba Wang Nan.

Gu Chang, "..." To be honest, he didn't pay much attention to the ID name of the other party yesterday. He didn't expect it to be so... so surprising.

This time, Gu Chang agreed to the overlord's friend request because Gu Chang wanted to see what the other party wanted to say.

"Ding ding, the bully sent a message."

Gu Chang clicked it.

The Overlord: "Come and fight me! Whoever loses gets to call me grandpa!"

Gu Chang raised his eyebrows slightly, showing that he was not convinced.

So Gu Chang agreed to a duel.

The bully opened a 1v1 room and invited Gu Chang.

With the arrival of Gu Chang, the Overlord Man quickly started the game.

As the game starts, the two characters appear on the stage.

Swordsman versus swordsman.

Gu Chang was a little surprised when he saw the role chosen by Ba Wangnan.

Could it be that the other party wants to defeat him by using the role he is good at?
