Chapter 184

Ren Lingyu gritted her teeth and walked out without looking back, until she reached the door and turned to shout at Caesar, "Follow me."

Stairwell.

"How many times do I have to tell you? I'm not interested in foreigners!"

"Interest... can be cultivated."

"You! Fine! You tell me! What exactly do I have to do so you won't pester me anymore!"

"I... also want to know..."

"You, you!" Ren Lingyu was almost blown up by him!

"..." Although the bystander sees clearly, He Lele looked at the two and didn't say a word. Matters of the heart had no logic and no right or wrong; what could she say?

"If you harass me again, do you believe I'll sue you for obstructing personal freedom?" Ren Lingyu said seriously.

"...Is it not okay to just look at you from afar?"

"No!"

Ren Lingyu’s resolute refusal seemed to make Caesar feel hurt, but he only paused for a moment before stubbornly saying, "I know I’ve caused you trouble, but you don't have the right to stop me from liking you."

"I—" Ren Lingyu was speechless with anger. After glancing at He Lele, her mind turned. "I thank you, but it’s useless even if you like me more, I have someone I like!"

Caesar was slightly startled and looked at He Lele. "Her? Isn't her lover Michelle?"

Ren Lingyu’s cheeks twitched. If she hadn't been trying her best to restrain herself, she didn't doubt she would have cracked this man’s head open to see if there was water inside!

"Feather, being gay in China is very hard. I know it’s hard for you to accept me in a short time, but I have a lot of patience. As long as you are willing to give me a chance, I will try my best to make you like me."

"Who told you I'm gay? I like men!"

"Really! I knew it! I'm a man! I'm a man, you can like me!"

"Cough cough!" He Lele coughed to cover it up. Although it was very unkind, she really wanted to laugh.

"You, you don't understand human language, do you? I’m telling you! Even if all the men in China were dead, I would—"

"Lingyu!" He Lele interrupted Ren Lingyu’s angry words. "I don't think Caesar meant to make you angry, right?" He Lele looked at Caesar, and Caesar nodded repeatedly.

Caesar was a typical Western handsome man. Although he shared the same name as the domineering Caesar the Great, he had lost all his edge now that he was frustrated in love, looking as simple as a big boy.

"If, if you really have someone you like... I, I can disappear for a while, but if you—"

"...You said it!" Ren Lingyu was so anxious that she took out her phone from her bag, fiddled with the screen, and held it up to Caesar. "The person I like is him!"

"Him? Isn't he your teacher?"

"That’s right! Can't you tell? This photo is from a few years ago. I specifically came to his firm to learn from him because I liked him. Proximity gets the moon first, have you learned that?"

"...I understand."

Ren Lingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. "So, thank you for liking me, but it’s really not necessary. Goodbye! It’s best if we never meet again! Bye!"

"Wait!" Although he was hit hard, Caesar’s deep eyes didn't lose their persistence. "Although you like him, you aren't a couple yet; you haven't gotten the moon yet, so I still have a chance." Before Ren Lingyu could explode, Caesar chose to take a step back. "I can leave first, but—one month. If after one month your teacher still hasn't accepted you... I will still come back!"

After speaking, Caesar took Ren Lingyu’s hand, kissed the back of her hand lightly, looked at her deeply one last time, and turned to leave.

After a long while, He Lele called out softly, "Lingyu?"

"This guy... is he crazy!" Looking at her hand, Ren Lingyu muttered, half-complaining and half-helpless, feeling a sudden, inexplicable emptiness in her heart.

"I think it’s pretty good!"

"Lele!"

"I think it’s good to have some external stimulation. One month, come on! I believe with your charm, it’s only a matter of time before Lawyer Li likes you."

"Lele! No! I lied to that kid..."

"Oh? Really? You don't like Lawyer Li?"

"No, I... Lele!"

Seeing Ren Lingyu’s shy and anxious look, He Lele smiled softly, but when she thought of the thing she was hiding, she couldn't help but feel uneasy...

L was interested in her? She hoped this was just Lingyu’s illusion. No, it must be.

In the afternoon, He Lele returned to the hotel to continue the training class. After the three-day training course was finished, the Human Resources Department temporarily arranged an exam for them to assess the situation of the three days of training. Because the assessment of most new recruits was not ideal, the supervisor of the customer service department was very dissatisfied and asked the training instructor to provide supplementary training. The instructor called He Lele, who had excellent assessment results, to demonstrate. As a result, under the gaze of all the new recruits, He Lele was full of loopholes, making the supervisor and the instructor so angry they almost told her to leave on the spot.

Amidst the gloating or sympathetic gazes of the crowd, He Lele stayed in the training room silently, put on the simulation headset, and recited the hotel information and service language over and over again, until she could make conventional responses clearly, accurately, and coherently without needing to think or recall...

Autumn nights in the city wouldn't have any desolation, especially in the city center.

Standing in front of the bus stop sign, He Lele was planning how to transfer buses. It was approaching midnight, and even the night buses were almost gone. She could only choose to get off at the stop closest to home and see if there were any other night buses to take. As for taking a taxi, she couldn't afford it if it was far, and it wasn't as good as walking if it was near, so it wasn't in her consideration.
