After the call ended, Xu Yi's heart raced as if she had just finished running a marathon. She felt a strange mix of nervousness and excitement that made it impossible for her to calm down. Sitting at her computer desk, her gaze involuntarily returned to the documents in her hand. The complex numbers and formulas that had once seemed daunting now appeared clearer under Jian Chen's guidance. She took a deep breath, trying to steady her inner turmoil, but the sound of her heartbeat continued to echo in her ears. Xu Yi knew that this accelerated heartbeat wasn't just due to solving a tricky financial problem, but more because she felt an unprecedented sense of reassurance and trust in her conversation with Jian Chen. Despite her attempts to maintain distance, Jian Chen's professional competence and gentle words made her unable to resist.
She recalled the patient way Jian Chen listened to her questions over the phone, and the valuable advice he gave her. This feeling made her both happy and somewhat scared. She was happy because she knew Jian Chen was someone she could rely on, and his presence made her feel extremely secure. She was scared because she wasn't sure if she was ready to face the complex emotions between her and Jian Chen. Xu Yi closed her eyes, trying to calm herself down. She told herself that the most important thing now was to analyze the data, not the emotions. She needed to focus on solving the financial problems at hand and creating greater value for the project.
However, when she opened her eyes again, she found that she couldn't erase Jian Chen from her mind. She knew she needed time to sort out her thoughts and clarify her feelings for Jian Chen. As Xu Yi breathed calmly, Bai Jinxi walked in. She noticed a hint of unusual emotion on Xu Yi's face, and there was an indescribable gleam in her eyes.
Bai Jinxi keenly sensed something and asked softly, " Xu Yi, something seems off. What's happened? You look different." Xu Yi was interrupted by Bai Jinxi's words and looked up at her, hesitating for a moment. Eventually, she decided to confide in Bai Jinxi about her troubles because she knew Bai Jinxi was a trustworthy friend.
"Actually, I've encountered some problems recently," Xu Yi began slowly recounting the entanglement between her and Jian Chen, as well as the financial issues she faced at work. She told Bai Jinxi that Jian Chen's help made her feel reassured, but at the same time, it also made her feel confused and afraid. Bai Jinxi listened quietly to Xu Yi's story, her face showing a look of concern and understanding. She knew Xu Yi was a smart and strong girl, but matters of the heart were always hard to grasp."
"Xu Yi, relationships are indeed complicated, and I don't really understand them," Bai Jinxi lightly patted Xu Yi's shoulder. "But what I do know is that you need to understand your own feelings and know what you truly want. You also need to consider whether you are ready to face this relationship and the various impacts it may bring."
Xu Yi nodded, looking gratefully at Bai Jinxi. She knew that Bai Jinxi was making sense, and she needed time to sort out her thoughts and clarify her feelings for Jian Chen. At the same time, she also needed to focus on the project and create greater value for it.
"Thank you, Jinxi," Xu Yi said with a smile. "I know what to do now."
Bai Jinxi also smiled and responded, "You're welcome. I believe you can handle everything." They smiled at each other, and their friendship deepened. Xu Yi knew that with a friend like Bai Jinxi by her side, she no longer felt lonely and helpless.
