In the following period of time, Li Li has been actively seeking opportunities to connect with Xu Yi. He knows that in order to truly enter Xu Yi's inner world, it will take time and patience. So, every time he encounters Xu Yi in the cafeteria, he will take the initiative to greet her, help her get food, and sometimes even bring her a cup of her favorite hot drink. In addition to the cafeteria, Li Li also deliberately creates some "chance encounters" in the rest area or corridors.
He will find some light topics to chat with Xu Yi, such as recent movies, good books, or some gossip news about the company. He found that when the two of them talked about these common interests, Xu Yi's eyes would become brighter and his smile more radiant. Li Li knew that her place in Xu Yi's heart was slowly changing.
He is no longer just a regular colleague, but has become a friend with whom I can confide and share. Once, the club organized a team-building activity, and Li Li specifically asked about Xu Yi's interests and preferences in advance, then prepared a little surprise for her. When Xu Yi received the carefully chosen gift, a surprised smile appeared on her face.
As time passed, the relationship between Li Li and Xu Yi got better and better. Jian Chen also noticed the change between the two, feeling both gratified and emotional. He knew that his advice had worked, and Li Li and Xu Yi were slowly getting closer. Finally, one day, Li Li gathered the courage to express her feelings to Xu Yi. She didn't use fancy words, just simple and sincere expression of her feelings.
Xu Yi listened quietly for a moment, then lifted her head to see Jian Chen standing behind Li Li. She paused for a moment, then looked into Li Li's eyes and shook her head gently. Li Li felt a sudden sinking in his heart, unsure if it was because his confession was too sudden or if Xu Yi already had other thoughts.
Just as Li Li was about to say something to ease the awkward atmosphere, Xu Yi had already placed the gift in Li Li's hand and then turned to run towards Jian Chen's direction.
Jian Chen saw Xu Yi running towards him, feeling somewhat puzzled but more nervous.
He didn't know how to deal with this sudden situation, and instinctively turned to leave.
However, Xu Yi caught up and grabbed Jian Chen's sleeve, panting, and said, "Wait! What are you doing here!"
Jian Chen stopped and turned around, looking at Xu Yi's bright eyes, feeling a little flustered.
He tried to calm himself and smiled, saying, "Nothing, I was just passing by."
"Passing by?" Xu Yi clearly didn't quite believe this answer. She furrowed her brows and stared into Jian Chen's eyes, "You've clearly been here the whole time, I saw you."
Jian Chen awkwardly rubbed his nose, knowing that his little actions had been discovered by Xu Yi. He took a deep breath and decided to come clean, "Yes, I've been here the whole time. I just... just wanted to check on you and Li Li."
Upon hearing Jian Chen's words, Xu Yi's face darkened. She let go of Jian Chen's sleeve, took a step back, and clenched her fists as if trying to suppress her inner anger through this action. She widened her eyes, speaking with obvious dissatisfaction and questioning, "What... what do you mean? Checking on me and Li Li's situation? Are you trying to matchmake us?"
Xu Yi's voice gradually raised, and anger flashed in her eyes: "Jian Chen, what do you want to do! It was you who wanted to break up! It was you who wanted to reconcile! And now you're trying to matchmake me with someone else! Your actions make me very uncomfortable, do you know that!"
Looking at Xu Yi's angry expression, Jian Chen also felt regret in his heart. He knew he might have gone too far, but he didn't want to hurt Xu Yi. He quickly explained, " Xu Yi, listen to me. I didn't mean to, I just... I just thought Li Li is good, and he would treat you well."
However, Xu Yi didn't listen to Jian Chen's explanation. She interrupted him, "Enough! Jian Chen, I don't need your interference. The matter between me and Li Li, we will handle it ourselves. We don't need you to meddle, and we certainly don't need your scheming behind our backs. Your behavior will only make the distance between us grow further."
After speaking, Xu Yi turned and left, leaving Jian Chen standing alone in place, filled with regret and helplessness in his heart.
