Chapter 59.2

Approaching noon, Guan Tang finally woke up. The first thing she did was to look for her phone and send a message to Mo Chengchuan. Her eyes were still blurry and she couldn't open them. She groped around for a while, but couldn't find her phone. When her mind cleared up a little bit, she remembered that she had brought her phone to the living room yesterday to use for the countdown.
After taking some time to work on his mental state, he had to get up and saw his phone obediently sitting on the bedside table charging. The way it was placed showed that Mo Chengchuan must have put it there, as not only was it perfectly parallel to the edge of the table, but even the extra charging cable was neatly bundled together.
Guan Tang was tickled by a joke early in the morning and thought the person was simply adorable.
It was a good thing not having to get out of bed to retrieve the phone. It felt like a small victory, and Guan Tang was now a little more awake and happy as she prepared to message Mo Chengchuan.
Guantang: "Hello Mr. Mo, may I ask you to rate our service from last night?"
Mo Chengchuan: "I woke up late this morning and didn't have time to cook, so I ordered takeout for breakfast."
Guantang: "Don't interrupt me, I haven't finished yet."
Mo Chengchuan: "Okay."
Guantang: "【Very dissatisfied】please send a photo of your nostrils facing the sky."
Guantang: "【Dissatisfied】please send a photo of you rolling your eyes."
关棠：“【一般】请发一张帅气的脸部照片。”
关棠：“【满意】请发一张腹肌的照片。”
关棠：“【非常满意】请发一张大♂宝♂贝的照片。”
Guantang was just fooling around, but he was startled when Mo Chengchuan immediately sent a photo, which turned out to be a picture of him asleep.
Guantang: "Did you take a photo of me without my permission?"
Meng Chengchuan: "Hmm."
Guan Tang: "What kind of evaluation is this? The system cannot recognize it."
Meng Chengchuan: "Let's order takeout first."
Guan Tang: "Tsk tsk, men. And here I thought I was more valuable than a rag that could be disposed of with just takeout?"
Moh Chengchuan: "This? screenshot.jpg"
Guan Tang sent a selfie with his nostrils up to express his dissatisfaction.
Moh Chengchuan simply called and Guan Tang answered rudely: "What's up?"
"Your throat must be sore, go drink some hot water," Mo Chengchuan calmly suggested.
Guang Tang immediately retorted, "It's not!"
Mo Chengchuan laughed deeply on the other end, "If you're not hungry, why do you have so much energy?"
"Seems like I'm really not hungry." Guan Tang said with a sweet smile, "Are you happy today?"
Mo Chengchuan replied a little helplessly, "Yes, I am."
"Is it because of me?" Guan Tang continued to ask.
"Yes."
Guantang was lying on the bed, looking up at the ceiling and smiling. She laughed uncontrollably and asked, "Do you post on Weibo every Children's Day because of me?"
Mo Chengchuan paused and said, "No."
关棠几乎又要脱口而出：怎么可能不是！
"It's not Children's Day," Mo Chengchuan continued, "it's your birthday."
With her mouth still open, Guan Tang's nose suddenly felt sour, and she didn't speak.
Sometimes people are strange. Even though they know the answer in their heart, they still need someone else to say it out loud to settle the dust.
Guan Tang doesn't know if he has really had no fate with others in recent years, or if he himself is holding on to something that is not meant to be. Even though he knows it's hopeless, he impulsively spent all his savings to buy an old house because of a Children's Day post on Weibo. Perhaps he still has hope. Others don't know, but he knows that Mo Chengchuan is not someone who has lost his childlike innocence on Children's Day.
In matters of the heart, Guan Tang has always been quite reckless, but fortunately luck has been on her side, leading her to where she is today.
"Then I might be even happier than you," murmured Guan Tang.
Jason knocked on Mo Chengchuan's door and saw Mo Chengchuan on the phone. He gestured to him and then left.
Mo Chengchuan glanced at the time and said succinctly, "I have to attend an event this afternoon, so I can leave early. After the event, I will come to pick you up. Solve your own lunch, order takeout early, and don't wait until you're hungry to order."
"Don't worry, I haven't starved myself to death these past few years."
Mo Chengchuan chuckled, "That's for sure, I've even gained some weight."
Guankang hadn't fully processed what he said when Mo Chengchuan ended the call.
Am I fat? How fat am I? Is it just a little bit of good touch fat, or is it middle-aged crisis fat?
Guan Tang touched her soft belly and fell into deep worry.
He had no idea that Mo Chengchuan not only participated in the event, but also made a pretty big splash. There were all sorts of media on site, and Mo Chengchuan went up on stage wearing a ring.
The host had sharp eyes and asked Mo Chengchuan if he had any good news recently.
Fortunately, not every guest is given a microphone for this activity. He was a distance away from the host, and did not answer or deny, just nodded.
The host asked if he would like to share, and he gestured to the host of the venue, indicating that this was not the occasion to discuss personal matters. He simply smiled and still did not speak.
But even this smile is already very rare.
This event is a serious business activity, attended by major official media. Although a few celebrities were invited, there were naturally some entertainment reporters, but overall it is not closely related to entertainment gossip and not quite in line with their professional focus.
Therefore, when Mo Chengchuan drove to pick up Guan Tang after the event, this news had not yet burst out widely.
Guan Tang was still munching on other people's gossip with relish: "Do you know that something big happened in your company?"
"What's the big deal?"
关棠有点纠结：“哎，我不知道能不能跟你说。”
“如果真是大事，你不跟我说我迟早也会知道的。”莫呈川道。
关棠一想，也是，于是立刻放下苦苦挣扎的良心，把陆止鸣发来的消息念给莫呈川听。
In the afternoon, Lu Zhiming found Guan Tang and asked him a somewhat peculiar question.
Lu Zhiming: "Brother Guan Tang, what should I do if someone thinks I am pursuing him?"
Guan Tang: "Why would they think that you are pursuing him?"
陆止鸣：
“可能因为我对他比较好吧……”
关棠：“想办法暗示一下，讲清楚就行了吧。”
陆止鸣：“那如果他以为我在追他，而且还答应了我的追求，怎么办？”
Guantang: "How could there be such a person? This is too strange."
Luzhiming: "It's not really strange, just...his personality is quite unique. He's different from others because he's exceptionally talented, so his way of thinking may be a little different from the average person."
Guang Tang: "..."
Guan Tang: "With you saying that, even I am starting to doubt..."
Guan Tang: "Forget it, just reject him directly."
Liu Zhiming: "But...I think I already agreed."
Guantang: "?????"
Luzhiming: "Collapse.jpg"
At this moment, Luzhiming is even more confused than Guantang.
Perhaps he has been too attentive recently, successfully attracting Fang Zexin's attention. But the direction of this attention seems to be slightly different from what he expected.
Today, Fang Zhexin suddenly said to him, "Actually, I don't really approve of office romances."
Lu Zhiming was taken aback and subconsciously felt that this was a hidden warning. He hurriedly tried to think if there was anything he did that might have given his senior the wrong impression. He didn't seem to be very close with anyone in the company, either.
Fang Zhexin also said: "I have never dated a man."
Lou Zhiming: "??? "So the misunderstood person is still a man? Lou Zhiming changed the direction of investigation.
方则心继续说道：“但是我觉得，可以跟你试试。”
She said it so naturally and smoothly, but Lu Zhiming's mind hadn't caught up yet and he asked dumbly, "Try what?"
"Dating." Fang Zexin looked at him. "Aren't you pursuing me?"
Liu Zhiming swore that his mind went blank in that moment, perhaps even producing a buzzing sound.
"The only condition is that it cannot affect work," Fang Zexin didn't pay attention to Lu Zhiming's expression at all, he raised his hand and glanced at his watch, saying, "It's not quitting time yet, let's talk about it after work."
So Lú Zhǐmíng walked out of Fāng Zéxīn's office in a daze.
But what he didn't expect was that Fāng Zéxīn's "let's talk about it after work" meant "where should we go for our first date after work."
By the time he realized it, the situation had completely gotten out of control. He got into the passenger seat of Fang Zexin's car, fastened his seatbelt, and told her what he liked and didn't like to eat. He felt the only thing he could do now was pick up his phone and continue calling for help to Guan Tang - a futile call for help which might be more accurate if it was called gibberish.
Luo Zhiming: "Brother Guan Tang, what do we do?"
Just after Guan Tang shared this amazing story with Mo Chengchuan, he received a message from Luo Zhiming and replied, "Didn't I tell you to explain it to him?"
Lu Zhiming: "But it seems like I've already started dating him."
Guang Tang: "..."
He turned his head and shared the latest progress with Mo Chengchuan in a tone that was truly wonderful: "They've already started dating."
