I returned to the company dormitory dejectedly and ran into Qi Jiayuan, who was squatting at the door, munching on skewers.
I nudged his shoe with my foot. "Move aside, move aside. A good dog doesn't block the way."
Qi Jiayuan said, "Look at your listless state! Did you take out your anger on me after getting it from your rich bestie?"
I plopped down beside Qi Jiayuan, snatched a lamb skewer from his hand, and took a savage bite. "It's my fault. She finally trusted me enough to leave her dog with me, but I let her down. I don't know why, but when I'm with him, I feel like an idiot!"
Qi Jiayuan said, "Love makes people stupid?"
I said, "Get lost!"
Qi Jiayuan sighed. "To be honest, people from different social strata just can't get along. He's so rich and doesn't lack love. Maybe he doesn't want to be friends with you. Isn't it kind of pointless for you to always be so eager to be around him?"
I said, "No, it's really interesting! He's really nice to me!"
Qi Jiayuan said, "Maybe he was just being polite. What seems like a big deal to you might just be a piece of cake for a rich and powerful person like him. You think he treats you as a best friend just because of some small favors. You're overthinking it."
I said, "No, I feel that he's very sincere. He treats me, a poor friend, very seriously."
Qi Jiayuan said, "Then why did you come back looking like a stray dog today?"
I said, "... Okay, this time I really crossed his line."
Qi Jiayuan said, "Well, I think so too. He may be promiscuous, but that dog might be the purest part of his heart, symbolizing his yearning for innocence. "
I wailed, "And I defiled it..."

Day one of not daring to flirt with Cheng Yu. I miss him.
Day two of not daring to flirt with Cheng Yu. I miss him, miss him.
Day three of not daring to flirt with Cheng Yu. I miss him, miss him, miss him...
Making a gay best friend
Is more exhausting than being in a relationship.
I'm really done with this.

Today the editor of the website told me that the film and television rights for "Falling into Demonic Possession" have been negotiated. They gave me a figure and asked if I could agree. This was the highest figure they'd managed to get after a long negotiation. If I didn't agree, we could keep negotiating.
When I saw the figure, I almost fainted!
This amount could buy an apartment!
What else is there to negotiate about?
I should agree right away!
But I still pretended to be calm and composed, like I'd seen the world. "Okay, do as you see fit."
The editor said happily, "Then it's settled!"
After hanging up the phone, I almost jumped three meters high. "I'm rich, ah ah ah!"
I really wanted to share this happy news with everyone right away!
But an old saying goes: Don't show off your wealth. Be cautious and you'll sail safely for ten thousand years.
I decided not to tell anyone in the company.
I didn't want to make everyone feel unbalanced... Hahaha!
I slung my small purse over my shoulder and went shopping. I was going to buy all the things I'd been eyeing for a long time. I was rich now!
-
I visited three shopping malls in a row but didn't buy anything.
I'd been so frugal for so long that I couldn't bear to spend money casually.
When I passed by the Dior window, I saw my dream shoes!
Although my savings had grown quite a bit, I'd always been hesitant to spend it, since it was my "lonely - old - age fund".
But now it was different. I had so much money that I could even buy a house, let alone a pair of high heels I'd loved for years!
I walked out of the store wearing my brand - new black high heels with white straps.
I felt like I was flying.
Ah.
Was this what it felt like to be a rich woman?
It was so amazing!
I'd only walked a few steps along the road when I suddenly saw a bright yellow Lamborghini speeding past me. The car was going quite fast, but I still managed to see the license plate clearly. It was Cheng Yu's car!
The car stopped at a traffic light dozens of meters ahead of me.
I instinctively quickened my pace and started running. Just as I was about to catch up, the traffic light turned red, and the car took off again. I ran as fast as I could, shouting at the car, "Cheng Yu! Cheng Yu!"
Unfortunately, the car turned a corner and drove away. I stumbled. Something tripped my high - heeled shoe, and I fell heavily to the ground. My bag flew out.
Damn it.
Did I have to be this unlucky?
There were so many people around, all in a hurry. No one stopped. Thank goodness everyone was so cold - hearted. No one had time to look at me.
Ouch—
My knees hurt so much, and my palms were burning. I must have skinned them.
I struggled to get up when I suddenly heard a very familiar voice. "Baby, what's wrong with you?"
This voice was—Li Haiwang?!
Damn it!!!
Why did I have to run into my ex - boyfriend when I was at my most embarrassing, awkward, and humiliating moment?
Serves you right for showing off and splurging. Now look!
I tried my best to act like I wasn't hurt, picked up my bag, and pushed him away to stand up.
It was hard to find my balance in the high heels. I hopped around a few times before I could stand still. I wasn't going to lose my dignity. I said coldly to him, "Watch your mouth. Who are you calling baby?"
Li Haiwang smiled. "Sorry, I'm used to it. I can't help it. But we were boyfriend and girlfriend after all. I advise you not to overestimate your abilities and try to be a gold - digger..."
I was speechless. "Which eye of yours saw me being a gold - digger?"
Li Haiwang pointed in the direction of the traffic light. "Just now! Weren't you chasing a Lamborghini and fell? You shouted so desperately, but the person in the car didn't even bother to acknowledge you. Well, I'm just saying, when you were with me, you were so cold to me. So it turns out... you just thought I wasn't rich enough and couldn't wait to dump me?"
I wanted to kick him so badly, but he grabbed my arm. "Come on, I'll take you home."
Li Haiwang pointed at the small electric bike parked by the road. "You're in no condition to walk like this."
"Thank you," I shook off his hand. "I'd rather crawl back than let you take me!"
Li Haiwang tried to pull me again. "You'd rather cry in a BMW than smile on a bicycle, Zhou Yinyin. Those rich people just want to play with you. Wake up and stop daydreaming!"
Just as I was about to slap him to wake him up, Li Haiwang's hand was bent backward. He yelped in pain. "Who... who is it?!"
I followed the hand and looked over—Cheng Yu?!
I was so excited that I almost cried!
Cheng Yu threw Li Haiwang's hand away with a cold look on his face. "I'm her boyfriend. Do you have anything to say?"
Me:!!!
Li Haiwang: "Wh... what? No... she fell... I..."
Cheng Yu said coldly, "I'll take care of my own girlfriend. I don't need others to fawn over her."
Li Haiwang: "... Fuck?"
Puhahaha!!!
I was so thrilled that I could have rolled on the ground!
Cheng Yu! You're such a smarty - pants!
A true good bro is someone who can be a woman when his bro needs one.
And a true good gay best friend is someone who can be a boyfriend when I need one!
Cheng Yu ignored the jerk and looked at me. "If you saw my car, you could have just called me. Chasing a car is so dangerous."
Then he squatted down to check my injuries. He clicked his tongue. "You've skinned yourself."
His actions, expressions, and the concern in his eyes were so real and natural. He acted as if Li Haiwang didn't exist. Cheng Yu picked me up in his arms and walked towards his car, scolding me as he walked. "Don't waste your breath on that kind of person..."
I was smug and pretended to be affectionate as I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck. I left Li Haiwang with a coquettish remark. "Oh, okay, baby~"
