All this happened inexplicably and without any trace.

After this incident, Yuan Chu felt confused in the following days. She didn't know how to face Gu Xi, so she avoided Gu Xi intentionally or unintentionally.

But in reality, there is nowhere to hide. We live under the same roof and will always see each other.

Moreover, these days, Yuan Chu could feel that Gu Xi seemed to be flirting with her all the time, even if there was no frivolous behavior or ambiguous love words.

But Gu Xi's every move told her that this person didn't seem to have pure thoughts about her.

The meticulous and appropriate care, the occasional unavoidable physical contact, and the unintentional probing in words all stirred up a thousand waves in Yuan Chu's heart.

It was because of this that Yuanchu's heart became even more confused. It just so happened that the company had a project to follow up in another city this week, so Yuanchu went along as well.

Originally, Yuanchu didn't need to go as she was in the design department, but she was added to the list because she volunteered. Maybe she just wanted to take this opportunity to calm down and sort things out.

On the other side, Gu Xi learned that Yuan Chu was going on a business trip to another city, which might take about half a month. Gu Xi felt a little annoyed.

Over the past few days, she had guessed about 70% of Yuan Chu's thoughts. That man still couldn't fully accept her. Perhaps she shouldn't push him too hard.

The closer she got, the further the other person wanted to move away. Maybe she should give him a little more time.

And after these days of investigation, Gu Xi is even more convinced that the dream Yuanchu had before should be her memory of her time in the Immortal Cultivation Continent, but it has been sealed away.

As for how long it would take Yuan Chu to remember, Gu Xi didn't know. She only knew that this time, she would not let go no matter what.

On this day, in the next city, after Yuanchu finished work, she declined her colleagues’ invitation to dinner and went back to the hotel alone.

The curtains blocked the light of the city's neon lights. In the dim room, the restless person had fallen asleep, but she was not soundly asleep. After a long time, she curled up and murmured, "Xi'er."

"Alas." A soft sigh echoed in the night, full of helplessness.

Yuanchu felt that he was possessed by evil spirits, otherwise why would he have the same dream so often, dreaming of the same blurry figure of a woman.

Female figure?

For some reason, Gu Xi's face flashed through Yuan Chu's mind. Her face and the figure of the woman in his dream were inexplicably matched.

Thinking back on every little bit of time we've spent together over the past two months, it all seemed so beautiful and like a dream.

***

The next day, Yuanchu spent the first half of the day following the project team in business talks with representatives of the dialogue company.

In the second half of the day, Yuanchu handled some miscellaneous matters in the temporary office building rented by the company.

Halfway through, a manager came over and called Yuanchu over.

The manager wanted to discuss some important matters with her and gave her some complicated requirements.

Yuanchu came back with a thick stack of information, but his colleague said someone was looking for him outside.

When Yuanchu went out, he only saw a staff member in blue clothes. He was holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand, which looked like champagne roses.

Seeing Yuanchu coming out, the staff member came over holding the bouquet of flowers, smiled and asked politely: "Excuse me, are you Ms. Yuan?"

Yuanchu nodded: "Yes, I am."

"Hello, please sign for your flowers."

Yuan Chu was startled, paused, and said: "I didn't order flowers."

"These are the flowers someone ordered for you." The staff member explained patiently and handed the bouquet in his hand to Yuanchu.

Someone else gave it to you?

Yuanchu glanced at the gorgeous roses in the staff's hands, but did not reach out to take them. "Can I ask if the person who sent the flowers said who he was?"

The staff member smiled sheepishly, "I'm sorry ma'am, the customer asked us to keep his identity confidential."

Yuanchu didn't dare to confirm whether it was sent by Gu Xi, after all, she knew where she worked, so she asked again: "Then is it convenient to tell the other party's gender?"

The staff hesitated and replied: "It's a man."

It turned out that it wasn't sent by her, so that was easy to deal with, but she felt a little disappointed in her heart. Why?

Yuanchu: "Can I refuse? Please return this bouquet of flowers."

Staff: "Yes, please write a refusal statement."

"Okay." Yuanchu wrote the two big words "Reject" on the receipt without hesitation and signed his name.

I thought the matter was over, but Yuanchu was called out again the next day.

Yesterday it was champagne roses, but today it was a more low-key one, replaced with white and pink baby's breath.

Yuanchu was unmoved and, as always, "refused to accept it."

It is not uncommon to receive flowers in the company. As long as they are pretty girls or handsome guys, there will always be people who will try every means to pursue them.

But after all, she is a colleague and a beautiful woman with outstanding abilities, so the employees in the department still watched quietly and glanced in this direction out of the corner of their eyes.

No one discussed it, and no one made any random guesses.

Just curious, joining in the fun.

Receiving this kind of flowers for two consecutive days shows naked pursuit.

If an ordinary person is rejected once, the thin-skinned ones would probably give up. But when everyone saw how persistent this person was, they couldn't help but gossip and want to know what happened next.

She had "rejected" it twice, and Yuanchu thought her meaning was clear enough, but she didn't expect that person to be so persistent.

With such persistence, Yuanchu began to suspect that this was a prank by someone else, but who would be so idle? Besides, a bouquet of exquisite flowers is not cheap...

When he saw the familiar staff member again, Yuan Chu was speechless and felt mixed emotions.

Yuanchu wrote the words "reject" and said directly: "Please tell your customer who sent you flowers not to send them anymore. I won't accept them."

Delivering flowers is just the staff's job. He looked a little embarrassed, but still maintained good professional ethics: "Okay, Ms. Yuan, I will convey it to you."

Yuan Chu was speechless. Such a weird thing actually happened to her. When chatting with Yu Xiaoxiao, she mentioned this incident inadvertently, and the other party even complained for her.

But she didn't expect that she was betrayed by that man in the blink of an eye.

During the lunch break, when Yu Xiaoxiao thought of the conversation between Yuan Chu and her, her eyes showed a subtle expression. She raised her lips, turned around and sent a WeChat message to Gu Xi.

【余】It’s over, your wife is gone.

Gu Xi replied with a puzzled “?”.

[Yu] A man sent flowers to Yuanchu for three consecutive days, and the flowers were different every day. This was clearly a courtship!

After sending this long string of messages, she sent me a gloating emoticon.

Gu Xi looked at the message sent by Yu Xiaoxiao and her heart beat faster. She typed and asked Yu Xiaoxiao: Did she receive it?

【余】You guess.

Gu Xi frowned slightly, and before she could reply, she saw the message above the chat box: The other party is typing...

Gu Xi's expression hesitated for a moment, and he just waited without moving.

Ding!

[Yu] Of course she didn’t accept it. Why would she accept flowers from a stranger?

But judging from the situation, the other party is going to keep sending her flowers until she accepts them. It seems that you have a strong sense of crisis!

After finishing work in the evening and returning home from the store, Gu Xi felt empty inside. She only ate the sandwich she brought back from the store as dinner.

After eating the sandwich, Gu Xi sat in the living room, holding her phone blankly. She wanted to send a message to Yuan Chu, asking her how she was doing in the other city in the past two days and how many days it would take for her to come back.

But she hesitated and didn't do anything. She had never been so timid before. She was afraid of pushing the man away again, so she hesitated to move forward.
