The neon lights along the street gradually lit up, casting colorful reflections on their faces. Lin Yue was captivated by a creative ornament in a shop window and stopped to take a closer look. Zhou Yi also paused, watching her with a slight smile at the corners of his mouth.
"This ornament is quite interesting. If it could be used in advertising, it might attract quite a bit of attention," Lin Yue mused aloud. Zhou Yi nodded in agreement, "Indeed, but we need to think about how to align it with the brand's tone." As they spoke, they continued walking and unknowingly wandered into a quiet alley. The scent of flowers filled the air, and the occasional chirping of insects added to the tranquility.
Suddenly feeling a chill, Lin Yue instinctively wrapped her arms around herself. Noticing this, Zhou Yi took off his jacket and gently draped it over her shoulders. "Be careful not to catch a cold," he said. Lin Yue looked up in surprise, her eyes filled with gratitude. Zhou Yi smiled softly, his gaze warm. "Let's go back and continue discussing the proposal." Lin Yue nodded, a wave of warmth washing over her.
At that moment, a melodious guitar tune floated through the air. They turned towards the sound and saw a street performer singing. The singer's deep and soulful voice drew a crowd around him. Lin Yue was enchanted by the romantic atmosphere and pulled Zhou Yi closer to the performance. They stood among the audience, quietly listening. When the song ended, Lin Yue couldn't help but clap her hands, and Zhou Yi smiled in response.
"Do you really like this song?" Zhou Yi asked. Lin Yue nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, it feels so moving; it's like it transports you to another world." Zhou Yi looked at her with a hint of tenderness in his eyes. "Sometimes, life needs little moments of romance like this." Lin Yue raised her head, their gazes meeting, and a subtle atmosphere enveloped them. In that moment, it felt as if the distance between them had shortened.
The changes between Lin Yue and Zhou Yi did not go unnoticed by their colleagues. The atmosphere within the project team became more harmonious as they were often seen discussing work together and helping each other out. One time, while discussing copywriting in the office, Lin Yue's voice was a bit loud, catching everyone's attention. A colleague teased, "Are you two having a private meeting or are you just acting like a couple?" Lin Yue blushed and quickly waved her hands, "Don't say that! We're just discussing work." Zhou Yi smiled slightly but did not refute her.
However, colleagues privately discussed how well-matched they seemed. Lin Yue's lively personality contrasted sharply with Zhou Yi's calm demeanor, yet they complemented each other perfectly. During a company team-building event that involved camping outdoors, Lin Yue and Zhou Yi were assigned to the same group to set up tents and prepare dinner. Lin Yue was in charge of starting the fire and cooking while Zhou Yi helped set up the tents. They worked seamlessly together and quickly completed their tasks.
"You two are so in sync! Have you practiced secretly?" one colleague joked. Lin Yue laughed in response, "Not at all; we just work well together." Zhou Yi nodded along but with a hint of affection in his gaze. That evening, everyone gathered around the campfire; Lin Yue and Zhou Yi sat together, chatting occasionally. Their colleagues watched them with admiration, exclaiming how sweet it would be if they were together.
Although Lin Yue and Zhou Yi had never explicitly expressed their feelings for each other, those around them could sense the subtle changes between them. Their glances, gestures, even small smiles revealed an unspoken understanding. Unbeknownst to themselves, both Lin Yue and Zhou Yi had developed deeper feelings for one another.
