The leader of the cultivation alliance has a crush on me.

After finishing her meal and returning to her seat, Song Ke was about to take a nap when she heard a noise coming from the elevator. She instinctively looked over and saw Chu Tiancheng rushing out of the elevator.

Gu Qing wasn't by his side.

Song Ke glanced at him, then simply changed her face and lay face down, her expression clearly showing she didn't want to see Chu Tiancheng. Just as she closed her eyes, she heard the footsteps stop in front of her.

However, she didn't open her eyes; she just kept them closed and didn't make a sound.

Chu Tiancheng tapped the table, his voice still cool and aloof: "Still pretending? You were awake just now."

I've made it so obvious, can't you just play along?

If you know you don't like someone, why do you still try to get close to them?

Song Ke's eyelashes fluttered, she opened her eyes, looked up at him with a lazy, listless gaze, and pursed her lips: "It's not time to go to work yet."

Chu Tiancheng: "I didn't ask you to do anything."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Tiancheng raised his hand, which had been hidden by the table. He was holding an exquisitely painted gift bag and placed it in front of Song Ke.

"What?" Song Ke asked him, looking puzzled. After asking, she guessed, "For me?"

Chu Tiancheng nodded and said, "I just bought it on my way here after dinner. I remember you really like it."

Song Ke opened the bag with a suspicious look and saw several jars of dried fruit, candied fruit, and snacks inside. Her eyes lit up instantly.

"You can take a nap. I'm going back to my office now."

After Chu Tiancheng finished speaking, he was about to leave. Song Ke watched his retreating figure, looking thoughtful.

what's the situation?

The sun has risen in the west! Chu Tiancheng actually bought me something on his own initiative, and he even knows what I like.

No, no, no.

Was he possessed?

However, looking at the dried fruit in front of her, she felt inexplicably happy. Because of a toothache she had recently suffered, her family had forbidden her from eating these snacks, or even anything sweet.

How could Chu Tiancheng know that she had been craving it for so long? She carefully wrapped the bag and put it in the drawer. It really was something she could only eat at the company; it would surely be confiscated when she got home.

In the afternoon, Qin Huan showed her around the company. Although she was already quite familiar with it, as a new intern, she didn't really have much to do.

When it was time to leave work, Song Ke had finished packing up. Seeing that everyone was still sitting motionless, she touched the ground with her toes, slid her chair back, and asked her colleagues in the seats behind her.

"It's time."

The colleague was stunned for a couple of seconds before realizing what was happening and said, "Oh, we have to work overtime."

Qin Huan didn't see anyone at this time, so she asked, and her colleague said, "Oh, she must have gone to order food. If we work overtime tonight, President Chu will take care of our dinner."

Song Ke thought about the long night ahead, a lonely man and woman together, and Qin Huan was not exactly a docile person. She said "Oh," put down her things, and leaned on the table, thinking of a plan.

Then she remembered that she hadn't sent her pursuit plan to Chu Tiancheng yet. She opened the file, glanced at it, looked in the direction of the office, gritted her teeth, and sent it directly to her alternate email account.

After sending the message, she picked up her phone again and sent a message to Gu Qing.

Sister Gu Qing, are you off work yet?

Gu Qing didn't reply immediately, but someone else curiously looked at Song Ke, who hadn't left yet, and asked.

"Song Ke, aren't you going home from get off work?"

Song Ke smiled and said, "It's not good to leave early on the first day, I'll wait."

The other person responded with an "oh," and Song Ke, with her sharp eyes, noticed the documents in her hand: "Are you having a meeting?"

"Okay, let's check the data and the progress of two projects."

Upon hearing this, Song Ke enthusiastically replied, "Then I'll make you some coffee."

The colleague was a little flattered and suddenly realized that Song Ke was actually quite easy to get along with, completely different from the willful and fierce Song Ke she usually was.

"Is this... okay?"

Song Ke had already stood up, seemingly oblivious to her colleague's cautiousness: "Okay, I'm pretty good at making coffee. Do you know what my nickname is?"

My colleague shook his head.

Song Ke smiled sweetly: "Holding hands with flowers."

When Song Ke brought the coffee into the conference room, Chu Tiancheng glanced at her unexpectedly, but didn't say anything.

After Song Ke finished delivering the food, she saw Qin Huan followed by two deliverymen, each carrying a cardboard box, and was led to the break room.

Song Ke held her phone, looking at the message Gu Qing had just replied to. She looked at the words and felt frustrated, unable to understand them.

You are Sunny Day: Song Keke, you don't need to pretend with me in private. I know you hate me. I've said it many times before, I don't have any other feelings for Chu Tiancheng. You don't need to be so hostile towards me.

You are Sunny Day: Also, you don't need to have Chu Tiancheng come to warn me.

warn her?

No, when did this happen?

Upon seeing this sentence, Song Ke sat up straight and leaned on the table to think before typing.

Keke is very good: Sister Gu Qing, what are you talking about? Was your phone stolen?

Keke is great: Is that really her?

Gu Qing replied quickly.

You are Sunny Day: Song Keke, I don't have time to waste here with you. I came here just to have a stable job. Don't get your hopes up about me. Even if Chu Tiancheng doesn't like you, it has absolutely nothing to do with me.

No, what exactly did Chu Tiancheng do? Why does it suddenly feel like I can already see the ending?

Then her task isn't... No, she needs to fix this quickly!

In the original storyline, Chu Tiancheng only lost after He Yunming appeared. How come he's being disliked before he even has a rival?

Song Ke's fingers flew across the screen, and she felt her fingers were getting a little stiff.

Keke is very good: No, Sister Gu Qing, have you misunderstood something?

Keke said: Listen to me, I do like Chu Tiancheng, but he likes you, so you are the one in his heart. You know him, he can't express himself at all. I saw with my own eyes that there was a picture of you hidden in his pillow. It can't be that you are not involved.

After sending the message, Song Ke looked at the chat box and sighed a few times. She had been keeping an eye on things at the company, and if only she had gone to lunch with Chu Tiancheng, she wouldn't have let him mess things up.

What kind of attitude is this? Does he even want to pursue his wife anymore?

Keke is right: It's true, he told me himself that the person he likes is you.

After a few seconds, I finally saw "typing" above the chat box.

You are a sunny day: Did you sleep with him?

You are Sunny Day: Are you trying to show off to me?

Coco: How is that possible?

Keke is very good: Sister Gu Qing, is this how you see me? Is this the kind of person you think I am?

At this point, it's necessary to play the old flame card. After all, she used to be Gu Qing's close junior, sharing everything with Gu Qing. But ever since she learned that Chu Tiancheng liked Gu Qing, she's been openly and secretly jealous, causing trouble for Gu Qing more than once or twice. Gu Qing, however, is such a kind-hearted heroine shrouded in saintly radiance, indulging Song Keke time and time again. Until the very end, because of Qin Huan and Song Keke's conspiracy, she was kidnapped. When Chu Tiancheng rescued her and asked who kidnapped her, she immediately said it was Song Keke.

Because of this, in the original storyline, Song Keke died very early, and Chu Tiancheng took revenge on her, which eventually led to the destruction of Song Keke's family and her going insane and being locked up in a mental hospital.

Song Keke still felt a lingering fear when she thought about her fate, so she absolutely couldn't be nervous. She had to complete the mission properly, which would not only save her life but also give her a chance to be single. That way, her mother probably wouldn't force her to go on blind dates anymore, right?

You are a sunny day: I didn't say that.

Keke is very good: So you have the same idea.

You are Sunny Day: I'm just curious, how did you see my photo under his pillow?

“…”

This scene is indeed depicted in the plot, but it happens later. Because Gu Qing is getting close to He Yunming, Chu Tiancheng can only console himself with a secretly taken photo.

Tsk tsk, how pitiful.
