After the divorce, Mr. Gu spent every day at the crematorium.

Pulling the car over to the side of the road, Bo Yuxiu took a deep breath, took out his phone, and dialed a number he knew by heart.

The woman finally answered the phone after it had been ringing for a long time.

"Shen Yao, a really good Thai restaurant opened near the company, let's go together."

The woman on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment.

"You can ask Jiajia to go. Jiajia is free recently."

“But I called you.” Bo Yuxiu was a little angry.

However, his extreme patience made his tone of voice indistinguishable from his usual one.

"Teacher Bo, I'm almost home, I don't want to go out."

The woman is still refusing.

Bo Yuxiu looked out the car window and saw a woman and another man eating barbecue face to face. He gripped his phone tightly.

He could easily expose the woman's lies.

But in the end, he didn't.

Pretending to be relieved, Bo Yuxiu smiled lightly, "Okay, then you should get some rest."

"Okay, you too." After saying that, the woman hung up the phone.

Shen Yao put her phone back into her black women's trousers and picked up a can of beer from the table.

He took a big gulp.

As the cold beer went down her throat, Shen Yao couldn't help but cough violently.

Chu Yao quickly grabbed a tissue and handed it to her.

"Don't drink when you have something on your mind, you might choke," Chu Yao joked.

Shen Yao looked at the young man in front of her with some surprise. She hadn't expected him to be so thoughtful.

"Sister, are you looking at me like that because you've fallen in love with me?"

As Chu Yao spoke, he gave Shen Yao a flirtatious wink.

If you're a fan of his, you'll be electrified.

However, being a woman somewhat allergic to romance, Shen Yao frowned and rolled her eyes in disgust.

"It's impossible for us."

"why?"

"Because I'm four years older than you."

"There's not much of an age difference, and these days relationships between older women and younger men are all the rage."

Throughout the barbecue, Chu Yao kept eating, and Shen Yao initially argued with him a bit.

But later on, she gave up.

He ate his barbecue by himself, ignoring Chu Yao's words as background music.

It was already 10 o'clock when we finished the barbecue.

After paying the bill, Chu Yao started his motorcycle. "Sister, you treated me to dinner, so I'll take you home."

Shen Yao thought it made sense, so she got on the motorcycle.

The wind was strong that night.

The wind is stronger when riding a motorcycle.

"Sister, hold onto my waist, I'm going to speed up."

Shen Yao loudly refused, "No."

Chu Yao seemed not to hear her refusal and repeated it several more times.

"Sister, you must hold me tight!"

"Sister, you must hold me tight!"

"Hold on tight, understand? I'm speeding up!"

The deafening roar of a motorcycle engine echoed through the night sky.

Shen Yao simply gently touched Chu Yao's clothes.

But when the motorcycle suddenly lurched forward, her body, due to inertia, slammed into Chu Yao's back.

Her body was almost thrown off balance by the impact.

After this turn of events, Shen Yao finally decided to hug Chu Yao's waist.

Another loud roar of a motorcycle followed.

Shen Yao hugged Chu Yao's waist tightly in fear.

Tightly.

She was terrified of being thrown off.

Feeling the woman's embrace around his waist, Chu Yao's lips curled up slightly.

The motorcycle started accelerating again.

Chu Yao shouted to the sky, "Sister, I'll take you flying!"

Shen Yao only felt the wind whistling in her ears by the river.

Chu Yao's voice seemed to come from near and far.

When she arrived at her doorstep, Shen Yao's legs felt a little weak.

Chu Yao jokingly said with a smile, "Sister, I can carry you into the house for free."

Shen Yao waved her hand, "No need, I can manage on my own."

After a while, Shen Yao finally recovered from the shock of being sped away by the car.

She looked at the man holding his helmet in his right hand and with his hands in his pockets, and said seriously, "Motorcycles are exciting to ride, but don't do it too often. If you really want to ride, you don't have to go that fast."

Chu Yao looked into the woman's eyes and asked, "Are you concerned about me?"

You can interpret it that way. I hope you cherish your life, after all, I saved you from the brink of death.

Shen Yao spoke earnestly.

Chu Yao strode closer to Shen Yao with his long legs, "Sister, is it so hard to admit that you care about me?"

Shen Yao took a step back.

"We're friends now, so it's only right that I remind you."

"Sister, I want to pursue you."

Chu Yao abruptly changed the subject.

The topic changed so quickly that Shen Yao was caught off guard.

But after regaining her senses, she immediately refused.

"No, it's impossible."

Chu Yao nodded and said to himself, "Yeah, when a woman says no, it means she agrees."

Shen Yao: "......"

Five minutes later, Chu Yao was locked out.

Instead of being happy, he cheerfully waved to Shen Yao inside the house.

"Good night, sister."

Shen Yao quickly drew the curtains.

Chu Yao's smile remained on his face.

I don't know why, but this woman, just like always, still rejected me.

However, he had a vague feeling that women were no longer as averse to him as before.

Perhaps, there really is a chance....

With a smile playing on his lips, Chu Yao turned around, but his heart pounded again.

"You're terrifying! Smoking here in the middle of the night, are you seriously ill?"

This was the first time in a year that Bo Yuxiu had smoked.

With just one puff, half a pack was gone.

He threw the cigarette on the ground, stomped on it, and waved away the white smoke in front of him.

"Shen Yao doesn't like younger men; they're immature. She needs security, so you two aren't a good match."

Bo Yuxiu's words came out almost spontaneously.

Chu Yao immediately understood what the man meant.

Are you trying to say that you're a better match for Shen Yao than I am?

Bo Yuxiu nodded and said with a kingly air, "Yes, I am more suitable for her than you."

"Hmph, narcissistic." Chu Yao scoffed.

"You childish brat, riding a motorcycle." After saying this, Bo Yuxiu turned and left.

Chu Yao gritted his teeth, "Old cadre, all serious, but full of bad intentions."

Bo Yuxiu waved to him without turning his head and got into his BMW.

Shen Yao initially thought that Chu Yao was just joking.

After all, she had rejected Chu Yao's confession to her at the hotel last time.

Such a huge scandal, I heard, the agency spent a lot of money to cover it up.

Chu Yao couldn't possibly lose face himself and make the company pay for it all at the same time.

However, Shen Yao underestimated Chu Yao's shamelessness.

When she entered the office in the morning, she saw bright red roses on her desk.

Shen Yao asked instinctively, "Whose flowers are these? They're on my desk."

Everyone gathered around and started teasing Shen Yao.

"Professor Shen, these flowers were given to you by your boyfriend, didn't you know?"

Shen Yao frowned: "Boyfriend?"

How could she not know that she had a boyfriend?

"Yes, your boyfriend personally delivered it to the lab entrance."
