Chapter 104: The Sudden Visitor

  It had been many days since Bai Xiaya's collaboration with Yan Feng, but she was still feeling down and couldn't shake off the oppression. She had originally looked forward to expressing her gratitude to her senior, but in the end, he asked her with a bewildered expression, "Hair clip? What hair clip?"

  Was she overthinking? Wasn't that blue hair clip bought for her by the senior? Was everything just a misunderstanding?

  Bai Xueya shook her head, shaking off the chaotic thoughts, and came back to herself. She found that the red light in front of her had already lit up. She took a few steps back, "tap tap tap", her high heels striking out clear footsteps on the asphalt road.

  The sky is filled with dark and gloomy clouds, blocking the not-so-warm morning sunlight. The air is filled with a stifling atmosphere, even the wind is lazily hiding. In such an oppressive summer, it seems that a heavy rain is inevitable.

  Bai Xue Ya took a deep breath, her right hand tightening around the strap of her single-shoulder bag as she gazed quietly at the red countdown timer across from her, until a strange voice sounded beside her.

  "What's your name, beautiful?"

  She turned her head, her eyes scanning the young man with a heap of smiles on his face indifferently. A messy yellow long hair, a black T-shirt with huge letter patterns printed on it, short sleeves rolled up to shoulders, revealing dark and thin arms. On his shoulder, there was a dragon-like poor-quality tattoo. Between his rough fingers hanging down on both sides, he pinched a cigarette butt that was about to go out.

  Cut, another pickup line! Bai Xueya turned her head in disgust and stared at the opposite side, trying to use indifference to reject this reckless delinquent teenager. However, that guy seemed not to give up and continued to ask persistently.

  "Beautiful girl, let's get to know each other! Are you going to work? Me too! Looks like we're quite fated! Haha... Beautiful girl, what's your phone number?"

  The disgusting words still echoed in her ears, Bai Xueya suppressed the annoyance in her heart and unconsciously tightened her grip on her bag.

  As soon as she smelled the stale cigarette smell on him, she felt extremely disgusted! If it weren't for all the people standing around, she would have already given him a big punch! Does he think beauties are that easy to mess with?

  Fortunately, the green light soon arrived and rescued Bai Xueya from her troubles. She was like a prisoner who had been granted amnesty, quickly opening up her pace to escape, but a strong force grasped the back of her collar tightly.

  What's wrong? You think you can resort to violence just because your pickup line didn't work?! You've got another thing coming if you think you can mess with me!

  Bai Xueya clenched her teeth tightly, and her hands formed fists in an instant. As she turned around, she suddenly swung her arm back and struck with force behind her.

  All of a sudden, the person in front was punched heavily and staggered backward several steps, stumbled, and fell to the ground with a thud!

  Serves you right!

  Bai Xueya clapped her hands together, brushing off the dust from her palms, and smiled smugly. Serves you right! Who told you to hit on me when I'm in a bad mood?!

  The people around were shocked to see this scene, and they didn't dare to believe that such a quiet and beautiful girl actually had such a strong violent tendency. They quickly avoided her and hid as Bai Xiaya walked away.

  Bai Xueya glanced around and suddenly found that the "chicken coop man" was standing in the crowd, his face turned green with fear. He backed away while staring at Bai Xueya, finally shouting and fleeing from the crowd.

  Huh? The NEET ran away? Then who was just knocked down by her...?

  Bai Xue Ya's face turned white as she looked down at the ground, that person seemed to have been beaten quite badly, and with a low head rubbing his face, he struggled to get up, his neat suit was wrinkled.

  She actually hit the wrong person!

  Bai Xue Ya let out a mournful cry, and in her heart she was hesitating whether to go forward and help up the innocent man or to slip away quietly when the innocent man finally struggled to his feet.

  His face had a bruise, but it couldn't hide his innate handsomeness. His short brown hair, with a fringe that slightly covered his eyes, and when he lifted his head, his piercing eyes seemed to shoot out flames!

  Ah ah ah! She actually punched Lu Haochen!

  Seeing the situation wasn't good, Bai Xueya quickly turned to run away, but who would have thought that just as she turned around, her collar was grabbed again. She subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, slowly turning around, an awkward smile spreading across her face, with an inexplicable weirdness.

  "Early... early... haha... what a coincidence... you're also coming to work, huh..." Bai Xueya didn't even dare to lift her head and look straight.

  "Big ugly girl!" Lu Haocen's face turned red with rage as he glared at her, "Are you an idiot?! So early in the morning! I was being kind and greeting you, but you suddenly punch me?! What did I do to offend you?!!" After finishing his sentence, he seemed to have pulled on the wound on his face and hastily took a deep breath.

  As soon as she heard herself being scolded, Bai Xueya's temper flared up: "It was that neurotic guy who insisted on hitting on me! It's not my fault, okay?! Who told you to come over and grab my collar out of the blue?! You call that a greeting?! Is that how you greet people?!"

  "Who would hit on a freak like you? Tsk, tsk, tsk... Besides, I'm the kind of guy who likes to make a move! You should feel extremely honored!"

  "What an honor?!" Bai Xiaoya pointed to her own nose, huffing and puffing, "I met you on my way to work, I've really had the worst luck in eight lifetimes! This honorable lady doesn't care about this honor!"

  "Hey!" Lu Haochen was so angry that he was fuming, but when he caught sight of the blue hair clip on her head, he suddenly felt a pang in his heart and changed his mind, saying "Forget it... I won't stoop to your level..." With that, he turned around and walked away with an air of elegance.

  Bai Xueya was somewhat astonished, this narcissist, usually even if he didn't retort, would at least get angry to the point of turning green in the face, how come today he's so easily letting it go?

  Just as the working hours were about to begin, Bai Xueya rushed into the company, ran up the stairs, and hastily swiped her card just in time before being late. After adjusting her clothes, she was about to walk into the office when she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure standing at the entrance of the staircase.

  She was a girl of about the same age as her, wearing a pale green dress, with delicate white shoes on her feet, black hair tied up in a fluffy bun, and a green hair clip on top that matched perfectly with the pale green clothes. From afar, she looked like a bright landscape on a summer day, exuding a lively vitality that was refreshing to behold.

  The girl had a white bag slung over her shoulder, and Xiaobei's small hands grasped the strap tightly, standing at the stairway entrance looking around in confusion, as if waiting for someone to arrive.

  Bai Xueya was taken aback for a moment, and her mind kept thinking repeatedly, but she still couldn't remember who this familiar figure was. She turned around to look at the office, and it seemed that her boss Peter hadn't arrived yet. She quickly ran in to put away her bag, opened her computer, and then used the excuse of going to the bathroom to hastily slip out.

  As she approached the stairs, Bai Xueya slowed down her pace and quietly sized up the girl's figure. It was unclear whether it was Bai Xueya's footsteps that startled her, but the girl happened to turn around at this moment.

  At that moment when their eyes met, they exclaimed in unison:

  "Is it you?!"

  Looking at the petite and slender Luna in front of her, Bai Xueya was somewhat stunned. The last time they met was at the cold drink shop, right? At that time, the petite Luna closely followed Lu Haochen's side, with a sweet smile on her delicate face, as if she and Lu Haochen were in love.

  This time she actually came to Yongsheng Company too, should... be looking for Lu Haochen?

  "So you're also interning here..." Luna smiled slightly, looking at Bai Xiaya with a friendly gaze, but her eyes hesitated for a moment before returning to their usual calmness.

  Bai Xueya suddenly came back to her senses, smiled and nodded. The full text of the new order of the Tang Dynasty. Indeed, she knew that Lu Haocen was interning here.

  "Are you here looking for Lu Haochen?" Bai Xiaoya asked directly.

  When Luna heard the name Lu Haochen, she blushed slightly. With her head lowered, her hands were entwined on the strap of her backpack, tugging at a small deer plush toy pendant.

  Bai Xueya just assumed she had, turned her head to look at the office, and it seemed that Lu Haocen was not inside.

  "He has already come to work and is not in the office at this moment. He may have been assigned a task and gone out. He will be back soon."

  Luna nodded at Bai Xueya's kind reminder, but didn't say a word.

  Yan Guo Ka went away. The atmosphere was a bit awkward, Bai Xiaoya scratched her hair, and couldn't think of anything to talk about. She had only met Luna a few times, and they hadn't even exchanged a word, this girl was so introverted and shy, for a moment, she didn't know what to do.

  "It's okay, you go ahead and I'll wait for him to come back alone." Luna said softly, noticing Bai Xiaya's embarrassment, but couldn't help taking another glance at her hair.

  Bai Xueya nodded and suggested, "Why don't we go in and sit for a while? If he's gone to work on a project, he might not be back for a while."

  Luna nodded and followed Bai Xueya into the tea room. Bai Xueya poured her a cup of tea before leaving with peace of mind.

  During the work, she passed through three tea breaks, Luna remained in her original posture, sitting upright on the seat, with a calm expression on her face but with a hint of sadness, and the tea water on the tea table was still quietly placed there.

  This silly girl...

  She shook her head, looking at the phone screen, it was almost twelve o'clock, but Lu Haochen's seat was still empty. I really don't know if he did it on purpose or just happened to have a lot of tasks, coincidentally not being in the company when Luna came to visit.

  At noon break time, Bai Xueya and Luo Li went to eat, passing by the tea room and glanced inside, Luna's figure was no longer there, the teacup remained still in its original place.

  It seems she has gone back.

  Bai Xue Ya quietly thought.

  However, in the afternoon, she saw the green figure in the tea break room again.

  "You're here again?" Bai Xiaya pushed open the door and asked with some surprise, even a little admiration for Luona's persistence.

  "......Uh-huh." Luna stood up with a hint of embarrassment, feeling apologetic for her own disturbance. She lowered her eyebrows and occasionally stole glances at Bai Xiaya, only to quickly lower her head again.

  "I really don't know what's going on with him..." Bai Xueya said, guessing while changing the cold tea water, "Normally, there wouldn't be a task that doesn't return for a whole day..."

  "Maybe... he just doesn't want to see me..." Luna said suddenly with a tinge of sadness.

  Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoya hastily said: "No, don't think wildly! Lu Haochen is a big fool who can't be relied on! Maybe the company assigned him a task and he didn't complete it, so he's too ashamed to come back!"

  Luna forced a smile, and Bai Xiaya couldn't help but feel regretful for saying the wrong thing. The atmosphere was gloomy, she took out tea leaves from the tea cabinet, quietly pouring hot water into the teacup, she could feel that Luna's gaze remained on her head.

  After a long time, when she placed the teacup in front of Luna, she suddenly heard her say quietly: "Your hair clip is very beautiful."

  Bai Xueya raised her head, her fingers stroking her hairline as she smiled lightly: "Is that so... it was a friend who gave it to me."

  "Was it he who sent it?" Luna's voice was tinged with sadness.

  "Huh?" Bai Xiaoya asked in confusion, "Who?"
