President, please comfort me.

On the other side, Wen Qi and Lan Ling finally managed to coax Chen Nuo to sleep. They took out their phones to try calling Ye Lin again, but received a message from Xiao He saying that Ye Lin had gone to Beicheng on a business trip.

The next morning, sunlight streamed into the room through the gaps in the curtains.

Chen Nuo slowly woke up, feeling a splitting headache, as if her head was about to explode. She struggled to open her eyes, and the discomfort from the hangover made her feel dizzy.

It took Chen Nuo a while to regain her senses. She instinctively reached for her phone beside her pillow.

Fortunately, Wenqi had thoughtfully placed it under her pillow, so she easily retrieved the phone without much effort.

Chen Nuo turned on the screen with high expectations and quickly swiped through the contacts, but found no calls from Ye Lin.

Undeterred, she opened WeChat again and kept refreshing the page, but the result still left her utterly disappointed.

Wen Qi went to the bathroom after waking up in the morning. When she came out, she saw Chen Nuo sitting blankly on the bed with empty and lifeless eyes, holding his phone tightly in his hand. He looked completely lost.

"Xiao Nuo, you're awake? How are you feeling? Are you feeling any better?" Wen Qi asked with concern, and quickly walked to the bedside, deftly lifted the blanket, and climbed onto the bed from the headboard.

Last night, the three girls squeezed onto one bed, with Wen Qi and Lan Ling lying on either side, protecting Chen Nuo in the middle like a treasure.

When Chen Nuo saw Wen Qi appear in the bedroom, his eyes darted around blankly, his thoughts still seemingly immersed in yesterday's drunkenness.

It was obvious that when Wen Qi came last night, she was already drunk and had no idea what happened afterward, let alone that Lan Ling was curled up in bed, sleeping soundly right next to her.

"Xiaoqi? You... what are you doing here?" Chen Nuo rubbed his dizzy head, looking very puzzled.

Wen Qi slightly raised her chin, pointed towards where Lan Ling was, and said softly, "Not only me, look, Lan Lan is right next to you, and Yang Xu is also in the guest room."

Thinking of Chen Nuo's absent-minded look as she stared at her phone earlier, Wen Qi roughly knew what she was thinking, so she said directly, "Xiao He said Ye Lin went to Beicheng on a business trip."

Chen Nuo, who was pulling at Lanling's blanket, stopped immediately upon hearing this, a hint of unease flashing in his eyes.

It wasn't surprising that Wen Qi could guess what was on her mind, but she wasn't sure if they also knew about her sudden blind date. Chen Nuo turned to look at Wen Qi, her voice low, like a child caught doing something wrong: "Yes, you all know?"

Wen Qi gently shook her head, her gaze fixed on her face: "I don't know."

After a period of inner struggle and agonizing, Chen Nuo slowly exhaled and softly admitted, "I think... I must have fallen for him. Going on a blind date was definitely a stupid thing to do."

It goes without saying who this "he" is.

"Hmm... Why are you all awake? What time is it?" Perhaps attracted by the sound of conversation, Lanling groggily pulled back the covers, revealing a sleepy and tired face peeking out from under the covers, clearly still in a state of half-sleep.

Wen Qi glanced at the alarm clock on the bedside table: "It's only a little past six, you can continue to sleep for a while."

Chen Nuo thought Lanling would continue sleeping, but the next second, she slid her bottom back and propped herself up, assuming the same posture as Chen Nuo. Then she yawned and asked, "Nuo, have you fallen for Ye Lin?"

"Mmm." Chen Nuo blushed slightly, glanced at the two of them, and nodded gently.

Seeing this, Wen Qi simply lay down as well. She turned to her side, wrapped her arms around Chen Nuo's arm, and smiled slightly: "Since you like each other, then be brave and be together! Anyway, Ye Lin has always been fond of you. Xiao Nuo, it's time for you to have a sweet romance."

Lanling also leaned over and gently nudged Chen Nuo with her head, echoing with a smile, "That's right, Ye Lin is so handsome and excellent in every way. Most importantly, he has been pursuing you for so long, and everyone has seen everything he has done."

However, when these things were mentioned, Chen Nuo's face immediately showed worry.

Since rejecting Ye Lin's confession that day, the two have barely been in contact. The few times they did meet, the atmosphere was always extremely awkward and unpleasant.

Especially after what happened yesterday, when she called Ye Lin but he didn't answer, and hasn't even called her back yet, she's not quite sure about his feelings anymore.

Thinking of this, Chen Nuo couldn't help but feel sad. She said sadly and self-deprecatingly, "He liked me before, and he confessed to me again a few days ago, but I was too confused at the time, so I didn't agree."

“We had another fight these past two days. I called him yesterday, but he wouldn’t answer. He’s never ignored me like this before.” Chen Nuo choked up again as she spoke, feeling regret, heartache, and grievance… her mouth felt like a jumbled mess of emotions.

Wen Qi asked, "What time did you call yesterday? We called and it said his phone was off. We later found out he was on a plane at the time, so it shouldn't be that he didn't answer the phone on purpose."

"But he hasn't called me back yet, not even a single message," Chen Nuo muttered, frowning.

Lanling quickly comforted him, "Alright, alright, maybe he's busy. Shall we try again later? Tang Chao said he has a lot of business to do on this trip and will be staying in Beicheng for a whole week."

"Hmm." Chen Nuo was still in low spirits and looked listless.

And so, the three of them chatted on the bed for another half hour until Yang Xu knocked on the door, and they finally got up and washed up.

Sitting at the dining table, Wen Qi and Lan Ling eagerly offered Chen Nuo advice and suggestions.

Lanling, a typical impulsive and impulsive person, said: "I say, why don't we take advantage of the weekend and fly to Beicheng together to see what Ye Lin really means?"

Wen Qi, after careful consideration, displayed a rare rationality and composure: "Actually, I don't think there's any need to rush these next few days. Ye Lin is away on a business trip, so Xiao Nuo can take this time to calm down and think things through. It's not too late to make a decision after she has figured out her true feelings."

At this moment, Yang Xu, who had been mostly silent, suddenly interjected, "In my opinion, Xiao Nuo doesn't need to be so anxious. On the contrary, you can let Ye Lin have his way for a while. When he can't hold back anymore and comes to you on his own, then you can start paying attention to him. In short, you can't spoil a man. This is just the beginning, and you can't let him control you so easily!" After saying that, he raised his chin, looking quite smug.

Chen Nuo, Wen Qi, and Lan Ling: "..."

What the hell? ? ?
