    Chapter Index

    At nine o’clock in the morning, Xu Chaochao took a bite of the rice ball from the convenience store and threw it aside. His soft white hands flew back and forth on the mouse and keyboard while his mouth was still mumbling to himself.

    The chair of my colleague Huang Qi next door slid over from a distance, as if he wanted to gossip.

    He was said to be a colleague next door, but actually because of his work, several seats near Xu Chaochao were reserved for samples. It was simply a paradise seat in an office worker’s dream.

    Xu Chaochao is not very good at socializing, and she is the only one in this group. Apart from the supervisor, the person in the logistics department who can talk to her is Huang Qi, who has a lot of work contacts.

    “Hey, did you hear?” She set the chair next to Xu Chaochao and continued in a low voice, “The head office is going to transfer someone here.”

    “Huh? Is our boss going to be replaced?” Xu Chaochao didn’t want this. Their manager was a rare good supervisor, slippery to the outside world and tolerant to the inside. The most valuable thing was that he was extremely emotionally stable.

    “No, it’s a clerk.” She seemed to think that the gossip atmosphere was not strong enough, so she lowered her voice a bit.

    “This kind of thing usually doesn’t happen. I heard that I slapped the table on the desk of the junior supervisor at the head office, talked back to the senior supervisor, and made fun of them, so I was kicked here.”

    “Wow…” So cool… Xu Chaochao pushed up his glasses, unable to imagine himself slapping the table to his supervisor.

    “Maybe it’s a young man who has such a bad temper. Now the company executives are all insecure because they are afraid that the hot potato will fall.”

    Huang Qi said that the boss summoned the ministers to discuss the matter early in the morning. In the afternoon, he would know which minister stepped on dog shit last night.

    After the gossip was over, she chatted again about the new little puppy she met at the bar last night before she was willing to take a seat.

    Knowing that his supervisors would not be replaced, Xu Chaochao put the matter behind him and focused on his work.

    Not long after the lunch break, when the always smiling minister brought Luo Ziheng to introduce him, she did not expect that the person in the gossip would actually fall on her.

    My instinctive reaction is to lift my feet to see if I stepped on dog poop.

    The minister said that people were left to her to take care of, which made her even more panicked. She could only take care of goods, not people.

    Especially such a lively grown man.

    Luo Ziheng has a tall and slender figure, with broad shoulders and narrow waist. His height and body alone can attract the attention of the entire logistics department…oh, maybe the entire company’s female staff.

    What’s more, God was quite unfair in giving him a handsome appearance.

    Xu Chaochao is not very good at describing it. Maybe this is the sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes often described in novels, and the face is like a crown jade?

    Exquisite and beautiful eyebrows, passionate eyes, a straight bridge of nose, soft and gentle lips… He looks like a beautiful and gentle child. He would never have imagined that this person would bang the table with his supervisor.

    She and her colleagues didn’t dare slam the table anymore, let alone the supervisor.

    Xu Chaochao always spent more time with goods than with people. After the minister said hello and left, she became even more flustered. Could it be that Huang Qi was gesticulating in the distance, and with the loud voice reminding her, she might not have thought of finding a seat for him first.

    “Luo… Luo…” Mom, what is Luo?

    “Luo Ziheng.” He added to her gently.

    “Oh, I’m sorry…where do you want to sit?” She swallowed nervously, “Here, here are the samples and orders…You, you pick a seat you like…”

    If it’s convenient…it’s best…to be…far away…

    “Just sit next to you.”

    Luo Ziheng made a decision very quickly. He rolled up his shirt sleeves and started to arrange the seats he liked.

    Xu Chaochao, who was interrupted in the middle of his inner life, didn’t have time to cry, so he followed the child and helped him clear the seat. He said it was clearing, but it was just moving the list on the table to another empty table.

    Luo Ziheng borrowed a rag from her and assigned her several tasks in an orderly manner before leaving his seat.

    Xu Chaochao, who sat back in his seat, started to send messages to Huang Qi and HR with a grimace. He went back and forth for a while before finally applying for what he asked.

    Luo Ziheng had already packed his seat, took the cargo list and started reading.

    Okay, what a proactive newcomer… Xu Chaochao was filled with admiration in his heart, remembering that on his first day on the job, he would just sit in his seat and wait for his seniors to finish their work and teach.

    Perhaps sensing her gaze, Luo Ziheng glanced at her with a smile.

    “If you are kicked around by various units, you should be familiar with what to apply for when you first get a job.”

    Xu Chaochao took a breath, how did he know what I was thinking?

    “Chaochao.” He called her name for the first time, and raised his long and beautiful index finger in the air to make a circle on her face, “Whatever you are thinking is engraved on your face.”

    After two weeks of working together, Xu Chaochao was finally able to adapt to the addition of one more person in her group, and she stuttered less frequently when teaching him to work. However, she felt that if he could get rid of his bad habit of staring at her with his eyes when she was teaching him, maybe she could behave more normally.

    Her friend Xiao En laughed at her, saying that this was only polite, but she was too socially afraid.

    Another thing is that she always has trouble remembering people’s names.

    Because as long as she looked at him, he would respond to her without calling his name.

    Furthermore, Huang Qi, the only one who could talk to her, always called him “little wolf dog” in private, and laughed at her for not understanding the situation. He had broad shoulders, a narrow waist and a small buttocks. How could he be a milk dog?

    He works overtime with her every day until seven or eight o’clock in the evening before going home. He is careful and smart, but he is a little unsure of himself. Although he has already done a good job, he still insists on her seeing it.

    Chaochao, am I doing this right?

    Chaochao, is it okay to fill in the Packing List like this?

    Chaochao, can you teach me the shipping process again?

    This child is so serious and responsible, but she can’t even remember people’s names.

    Xu Chaochao felt sorry, so when he came back from lunch break, he put a cup of coffee on his table.

    “Is this for me?”

    His surprised expression looked a little cute, and he pursed his lips and smiled.

    He doesn’t look like him in appearance, and his personality doesn’t look like someone who would be rude to his colleagues. He’s quite cute.

    “Well, I’ll give you a refresher… later… uh… I’ll take you to the warehouse to check the shelves after I finish my coffee.”

    Chaochao didn’t dare to explain the reason directly, so he made up a random reason, but the warehouse really should take him there.

    In addition to arranging freight, their job often also requires assisting the sales department to send samples to customers. In the past, when there was a shortage of manpower, she would put the samples to be sent the next day on a nearby table before leaving get off work the day before. This made it easier for her to handle the preparatory work of sending during her tedious work breaks.

    “Well… no senior has ever bought me coffee like this…”

    “Chaochao, thank you.”

    She felt uncomfortable when he saw her, and coughed slightly in an awkward manner.

    “Now I have it, drink it quickly, we are going into the warehouse after lunch break.”

    Luo Ziheng held the coffee, his face softened, and he responded warmly.

    *******

    After a few more weeks, Chao Chao felt that she was great and making progress every day, because she could already talk to him in a normal tone, command him to help with things, and even dared to make a little joke with him occasionally.

    But she still couldn’t remember his name, which was only three characters long.

    “Just call me Ah Mu.” The corners of Luo Ziheng’s soft lips raised slightly, “It’s easier to remember this way.”

    “Amu…” Chaochao tilted his head and thought for a moment, “Is that your nickname? It’s really easy to remember.”

    Luo Ziheng smiled and said nothing, and only replied to her, “Cha Chao.”

    Xu Chaochao has always felt that the shortcoming of his name is that it sounds like it is very familiar, regardless of the distance.

    Especially, somehow, his shout sounded extremely soft, as if he had stepped into a gentle land.

    She cleared her throat uncomfortably and said half-jokingly: “I am a senior and older than you. You should call me sister to listen.”

    She raised her little face, pushed up her glasses, and tried her best to act like a sister.

    “Chaochao.” He didn’t answer her, but just shouted again, staring straight into hers with his smiling starry eyes.

    “Huh?”

    “Sister, this is not the time to shout.”

    Luo Ziheng’s tone is very soft and gentle. If you listen carefully, there are even a few sounds that are a bit hoarse.

    You only call me sister when you need something from someone, right?Well, anyway, she was just embarrassed and had nothing to say, so she was just trying to make up for it.

    The two of them returned to their work and discussed what analysis the new program could do.

    When Luo Ziheng first came to work, he discovered that she would use her personal time after get off work to import daily shipment records into Excel, and then put them into simple formulas for analysis, so he volunteered to join this small project.

    He can write simple programs to organize the Excel files she has and import the data into the database, saying that this can help her conduct longer analysis.

    Xu Chaochao felt that anything that was beneficial to work was a good attempt. Moreover, since the two of them got used to each other, their work efficiency was much higher than before, so he asked him to spend some time writing programs at work.

    With more free time, her attention often turned to him involuntarily.

    For example, in order to make things easier, he often rolled up his shirt sleeves to the middle of his lower arms. Although Amu’s skin was not fair, his arms were strong and strong, and his big hands were well-proportioned and slender with well-defined joints.

    For example, his hair was slightly curly. After every lunch break, or after accompanying her to the warehouse to order goods, there would always be a small strand of hair sticking up on his head, which made him look young and cute.

    With less overtime time, I naturally became more partial.

    For example, when the eldest lady from the General Affairs Department was concerned about whether she had a troublesome problem, she sincerely talked on the phone for half an hour to vindicate her.

    For example, Huang Qi planned to hold a party with the planning department, and she asked if she could reserve a spot for him.

    “Chaochao, I don’t like socializing.” Luo Ziheng frowned slightly and told her seriously.

    However, Huang Qi said that the colleagues in the planning department, regardless of gender, were all above the standard in appearance, with fair skin, good looks and long legs.

    Although she thinks Amu’s looks are not to be missed, but who doesn’t like to live in front of a beautiful woman?

    “Chaochao, I don’t want to go.”

    But…the places are all reserved…

    “Chaochao, I have someone I like.”

    Xu Chaochao finally realized that he had gone too far, and his face turned red with shame.

    “I’m sorry Amu, I thought this was a good opportunity.”

    She had no choice but to turn down the place, but Huang Qi would not accept such a request. She could not withdraw after asking for the place. If the little wolf dog didn’t want to go, then Chaochao would have to go by herself.

    A stupid fish that refuses to take the bait even after being caught several times has managed to jump in on its own. How can it be let go casually?

    As soon as the off-duty time came, Huang Qi came directly to arrest people. Xu Chaochao didn’t want to burden others psychologically, so she told Luo Ziheng that she had an appointment with Huang Qi tonight and would not work overtime, and asked him to go home as soon as he was done.

    Huang Qi glanced at Luo Ziheng. This little wolf dog looked very delicious, but he was a master who knew how to slap the table and yell at people. She didn’t dare to provoke him casually. After casting an ambiguous look, he took the silly fish away with a smile.

    The social venue was an American restaurant. Everyone said they were here to meet new friends, but everyone exchanged glasses and chatted animatedly. They didn’t even eat much of the sumptuous meal.

    Except Xu Chaochao.

    She was extremely afraid of society, so she sat in the corner and ate in order to make herself look like she had something to do and not be embarrassed. When she was really full, she held the fruit wine warmly and drank it slowly.

    The boy sitting opposite her also seemed to be a social terror. The two of them joined forces and destroyed many meals. Just when she was thinking about when it would be more rude to leave in advance, Luo Ziheng made a video call to her.

    Although they have added each other as Line friends, they have never used it. If they want to talk, they just turn their head and he will come over. The communication between the two is basically direct face to face, without text, and they rarely use communication software.

    That might be an important matter. Xu Chaochao answered it and ran to the toilet door to talk, so as not to disturb other people’s chat.

    “Where are you?”

    Luo Ziheng on the phone looked a little serious and asked about his whereabouts at the beginning.

    “Huh? The restaurant, we are eating.” Xu Chaochao paused for a second before his mind started to work, “Do you want to see me for anything?”

    “I’m at the door of the restaurant.” He paused, his expression seemed a little uncomfortable, “When will you finish?”

    Xu Chaochao was a little surprised and flustered. Afraid of keeping him waiting, he hurriedly returned to his seat and spoke to Huang Qi, then hurried downstairs.

    The night breeze was slightly cool, and a tall and slender man stood on the street, lowering his head and flicking his mobile phone. His well-proportioned bones and picturesque features made it difficult not to notice him.

    Chaochao was about to go over, but was stopped. The man who was sitting opposite her chased her out to return the bag she had left behind.

    After thanking the other party and saying goodbye somewhat sheepishly, he turned around and met Luo Ziheng’s gaze.

    Xu Chaochao had the inexplicable urge to go out for fun without reporting it. As a result, he was caught by his boyfriend and embarrassed, so he walked to him anyway.

    “Your face is so red. Did you drink a lot?” Luo Ziheng knelt down in front of her, “Come up here and I’ll take you home.”

    “No, no need… I can leave…”

    It was too intimate and ambiguous to ask a boy to carry this matter. Moreover, she was not drunk, but her face was so red because she could not metabolize alcohol well…

    Xu Chaochao’s hand was held by someone before he was done murmuring in his heart.

    His big, warm and dry hands wrapped hers tightly, and his warmth spread to her body. She could even vaguely smell the soapy scent of him with a faint herbal scent.

    She was frightened to stop her inner drama, and subconsciously looked up at the man.

    “I’m afraid you’ll fall…it’s safer to hold hands.” Luo Ziheng explained with gentle eyebrows, as if to coax her, regardless of gender, it was normal to hold hands and walk after drinking.

    Xu Chaochao, whose head was in a state of confusion, just let someone lead him for a few steps. Then he belatedly realized that Huang Qi and other colleagues were still nearby. If they were seen and rumored, she wouldn’t be able to escape by jumping into the Yellow River.

    Besides, he still has someone he likes, so how can he be misunderstood.

    She woke up with a fright and tried to pull away from his hand, but another big hand caught her and held him back tightly.

    Luo Ziheng lowered his head and looked at her straight for a while, then gave a soft and hoarse warning in a coaxing tone.

    “Chaochao, be good.”
