Chapter 40

After that night, Yun Duo did not see Tang Yi-Bai for two weeks. She gradually calmed down, and she slept especially well every night after she changed to use her new sheets and covers. This made her even more convinced that her previous flustered emotions and accelerated heart rate were all just a momentary thing, the kind that would not last for long. And yet, a corner in the depths of her heart seemed to have become occupied. A corner no one could see clearly, a corner no one could touch. Sometimes, she really felt like seeing him, just to see his face and maybe chat a little. Yun Duo felt like this was very similar to how one misses an old friend. After all, she also often missed Chen Si-Qi. One afternoon in late May, after Yun Duo was done with her interviews for the day, she went out for tea with Liang Ling-Chen. And this was upon the invite of Liang Ling-Chen. Liang Ling-Chen highly suspected that if he did not seek out Yun Duo, Yun Duo would never have thought of reachi

Qi Rui-Feng was a particularly direct and clueless person. At the dinner table, he chatted and joked around with Yun Duo, and so Yun Duo was infected by his mood and did not think any further on whether Tang Yi-Bai was angry. Tang Yi-Bai had such a good temper, so of course he wouldn't be angry. He must have just been kidding with them. After the meal, Tang Yi-Bai wanted to send Yun Duo home, and Qi Rui-Feng insisted on coming along. Tang Yi-Bai had planned to refuse, but he suddenly seemed to think of something and merely said with a smile, "Okay." And so the three of them called a cab and headed towards his house. When they were almost at their destination, Qi Rui-Feng looked out the window from the passenger's seat and asked, "Tang Yi-Bai, isn't this the direction to your house?" Tang Yi-Bai replied, "Yes, we are heading to my place." "Hey, we're supposed to send Yun Duo home." Qi Rui-Feng was disgruntled. Tang Yi-Bai

Yun Duo did not know what was going on, but Lin Zi was very moody today and his temper was short. Cheng Mei was wearing a pretty dress and when she had asked him if she looked good in it, he had instantly snapped 'no', greatly offending Cheng Mei, who had then stormed off with a red face. Yun Duo secretly checked the state of the stock market. It was doing okay, no signs of collapse. Then what in the world made him so unhappy? Lin Zi coincidentally saw her checking the market, and he said with a sneer, "Thinking to invest in the stock market just after earning some extra money? A hundred thousand yuan won't even make a ripple in the stock market!" His tone was really unpleasant, and Yun Duo herself started to feel a little irritated. "Hey, I just wanted to know why you're so angry!" Lin Zi paused, and then swiftly turned his face aside and said quietly, "Well, isn't it because of you?" His words were still just as aggravating, b

When Yun Duo woke up the next day, Tang Yi-Bai had already left. He had to return to the team today. Madam Lu did not have morning exercises, so she was taking Er-Bai to task. He had ravaged the first aid kit. The medicines had been scattered everywhere; it was a complete mess. He too seemed to know he had done something wrong. He lay down motionless on the ground, turning his face away from Madam Lu. When he saw Yun Duo walking out of her room, he stared at her pleadingly, seeking support by acting cute. Yun Duo did not dare to help him — she kept her head bowed and pretended not to see him. She had no interviews today, so she went in to the office for work. As soon as Yun Duo arrived at the office, Lin Zi told her excitedly that: The fugitive murderer had been caught. Rumour had it that he had been apprehended by two brave and righteous, ordinary citizens. Yun Duo affected a look of aloof pride, merely smiling in silence. She finally understood why so many people loved being un
