When two tigers fight, one must be injured!
It's said that people are all different, each with their own personality, and none alike. However, there is one common problem among all women under the sky - they all love to be jealous. Women being jealous can be categorized into many types, some are due to envy, some are because they don't trust their partner, and some are just too sensitive, Wang Xue is such a person.
Since what happened last night, Wang Xue has been monitoring Zhang Ziheng. Because the two people are not in the same department, every time Wang Xue is free, she will call Zhang Ziheng to ask about his whereabouts. Although it's a bit uncomfortable, but due to the huge gap between their strengths, he can only accept his fate.
Originally, Zhang Ziheng's relationship with Xu was already a source of distress for him. Now that Yu Jie had returned, he really didn't know which side to prioritize. Looking at the screen in front of him, Zhang Ziheng couldn't concentrate on his work. His gaze would involuntarily drift towards the newspaper on the side, where Bai Yujie's photo playing the piano was prominently displayed.
Under such circumstances, Zhang Ziheng couldn't work seriously and finally got a bit annoyed. He casually flipped the page of the newspaper to avoid looking at it. The newspaper happened to flip to the design competition page, Zhang Ziheng slightly frowned, picked it up and took another look.
"The Creative Cup Flat Design Competition is a contest specifically held for ordinary people. Anyone can participate as long as they have their own creativity and works. The competition is open nationwide, as long as you are someone who loves flat design and has your own unique ideas, you can sign up. For more details, please visit the official website."
Zhang Ziheng read the newspaper, thinking to himself, anyway he was idle and worried about emotional things, why not find something else to do, maybe it could distract him from his own thoughts.
Thinking of this, Zhang Ziheng nodded and logged onto the official website of the competition according to the URL on the newspaper. Upon browsing, he found that the website was quite large in scale. It specifically described the history and significance of the Creativity Cup Flat Advertising Design Competition, as well as the situation of the competition in recent years. Then he took a look at the rules of the competition, participants can showcase their works through online upload and mail delivery, then after preliminary selection, followed by semi-finals, after expert judges' recognition, the top ten people will advance to the final round. Then the organizer will provide a topic for the last competition.
Applicants must register within one month. Once the deadline has passed, no further applications will be accepted. The competition will last for three months and an awards ceremony will be held in B City at the end of the following month.
After finishing all of these, Zhang Ziheng hurriedly signed up online and then retrieved a few of his previous works from the computer to upload them. Just as he was about to get busy, his phone rang, probably another call from Wang Xue, but Zhang Ziheng didn't think much of it and picked up the phone without even looking at it.
"Hey, on your way to work?"
Zhang Ziheng immediately recognized Yu Jie's voice on the other end of the phone and stopped working.
"What's wrong? Speak up! Are you working? Is it inconvenient?" Seeing no response, Bai Yujie continued to smile.
Zhang Ziheng's lips were dry at this time, and he didn't know what to do. If he followed Wang Xue's words, he should have hung up the phone immediately, but his fingers wouldn't listen to him, and after trying for half a day, he still couldn't press the hang-up button. Finally, he looked around nervously and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he tensely said: "Yes, yes, I'm working."
"Hehe, are you cold? Why are you stuttering when speaking?" Bai Yujie laughed.
"No, it's nothing... Ah, Yu Jie, did you want something from me?" Zhang Ziheng said.
"Didn't I say I'd call you yesterday? How could you forget?"
"No, no, remember."
"It's almost noon, how about we go out for lunch together? I have something to talk to you about, didn't get a chance yesterday." Bai Yujie continued with a smile.
Zhang Ziheng was taken aback for a moment, his first reaction was to agree, but that would be equivalent to seeking death. So Zhang Ziheng could only smile awkwardly and say: "If there's something you want to say, just say it now, let's skip dinner."
"What's wrong? It's just a meal, are you afraid I'll eat you up? Is your girlfriend not giving you time off? If that's the case, then I'll go talk to her." Bai Yujie said with a smile.
"Don't mess around, it's better if she doesn't know about this." Zhang Ziheng was startled and hastily said.
"Hehe, scared?" Bai Yujie laughed and said.
"Cough, actually it's not that I don't want to go out for dinner, but I'm quite busy with work today and there are still some things I haven't finished yet. Going out for dinner would be a waste of time, so I think I'll just grab something quick at the company." Zhang Ziheng said.
"What's so important about the work? Can't it be done tomorrow? I really have something to tell you, come out and talk, okay?" Bai Yujie suddenly said in an extremely gentle tone, making Zhang Ziheng's whole body numb.
Zhang Ziheng really wanted to agree with her, but it was impossible. "Yu Jie, today is really not possible, if there's something you want to say, just say it over the phone, I'm listening."
"Am I... that scary? Why are you hiding from me? Didn't you say you weren't afraid of your girlfriend?" Bai Yujie said somewhat unhappily.
"No, no, I'm not hiding from you. Really, Yu Jie, I'm really busy today." Zhang Ziheng said hastily.
"I just wanted to chat with you, and I happened to have two tickets to give you. Besides, I'm free only today, from tomorrow on, I'll be busy preparing for the concert. Won't you come out even if it's like this?" said Bai Yujie.
"No, Yu Jie. I... Ah, actually you also know, what artistic cells do I have? I'm a very common person and can't understand the tunes you play, so even if you give me tickets, they're useless." Zhang Ziheng explained.
"Alright, so you're saying he's dead and won't come out?"
"Sorry, Yu Jie, really sorry. That... I can't tell you now, the leader is watching, okay, that's it, bye." Zhang Ziheng hung up the phone in a hurry and let out a deep breath.
When Zhang Ziheng saw the phone, his heart was filled with mixed emotions. He had never felt so tired from telling lies as he did today. In fact, his true intention was still to go; he wanted to see Yu Jie, have a good chat with her, and even if he couldn't understand the concert, he wanted to go and cheer her on, watch her showcase her talents on stage. He wanted to be part of everything. But it wasn't possible; he already had Wang Xue, and he couldn't be so wishy-washy anymore.
Time passed quickly, and before he knew it, it was already lunchtime. His colleagues had all left, leaving only Zhang Ziheng sitting in front of the computer, expressionless as he worked on his design. Suddenly, someone covered his eyes from behind, followed by that clichéd line: "Guess who I am?"
As soon as he heard the voice, Zhang Ziheng was startled and quickly put down his hands, turning around to look at the person who came. "No... it's not... you, how are you here? Who told you I'm working here? How did you find this place?"
Bai Yujie smiled and put the lunch box on the office desk, saying: "You don't have to worry about this, I have my own way. Ha ha, you're really dedicated, working alone at noon without eating? Come on, stop work for now, I bought you some dumplings, hurry up and eat something." Yujie opened the plastic bag and took out the steaming hot dumplings from the lunch box, placing them in front of Zhang Ziheng.
Zhang Ziheng looked around, then pulled Yu Jie to his chair and sat her down, saying: "Not... why didn't you tell me you were coming? You're being too reckless, what if others see this?"
"Hehe, what's there to be afraid of? Even if someone sees it, so what? We didn't do anything wrong, why are you so tense?" Bai Yujie shook her head with a smile.
"Not this... Ah, sigh!" Zhang Ziheng sighed, really didn't know how to tell her, anyway, things have come to this, what else can be done? Zhang Ziheng shook his head and smiled at her, saying: "You always do this, surprising me all the time. Sooner or later I'll die in your hands."
"Hehehe, so are you willing or not?"
"Alright, alright, stop messing around. What kind of filling is this dumpling? Where did you buy it?" Zhang Ziheng laughed and asked.
Bai Yujie smiled slightly and said, "I know you don't like to eat vegetarian fillings, so I specially bought pure meat ones. Come try one and see how the taste is." As she spoke, Bai Yujie picked up a dumpling with her chopsticks and handed it to Zhang Ziheng's face.
Looking at Yu Jie's lovely and virtuous appearance, Zhang Ziheng couldn't think of a reason to refuse. He opened his mouth and swallowed the dumpling. "Hmm... not bad, quite delicious."
"Hehe, really? I'll have one too." Bai Yujie said as she picked up and ate another one.
"Is it really that delicious? The two of you are quite cozy." Just as the two were happily eating dumplings, Wang Xue suddenly appeared beside them, laughing coldly.
Zhang Ziheng was startled and stared at her blankly, stuttering: "Xuexia, how are you here?"
"Hmph, you certainly don't want me here, it's affecting your appetite, isn't it?" Wang Xue said with a cold smile, then walked to his front, put the lunch box on the office desk, looked at Yu Jie's lunch and smiled: "What a coincidence, I also bought dumplings. But unfortunately, my dumplings were delivered one step late."
Bai Yujie smiled slightly and said, "How could it be? Since it's been sent over, it won't be late."
Wang Xue gave her a glance, looked at the table and then smiled: "I didn't expect such a beautiful girl like you to actually like raw garlic? Aren't you afraid of having bad breath?"
"Hehe, you don't know? Ziheng loves to eat dumplings with raw garlic, I specifically went to buy this for him." Bai Yujie smiled.
Wang Xue's eyes changed suddenly, coldly staring at Zhang Ziheng, saying: "How do you like to eat like this? Why didn't you tell me before?"
"This doesn't count as anything, besides you didn't even ask me." Zhang Ziheng said with a bitter smile.
"There's still Zi Heng eating dumplings, he likes to dip them in apple vinegar the most, unfortunately I didn't buy any. However... you wouldn't even know this, would you? Hehe, a girl who doesn't even know what her boyfriend likes to eat is really... sigh, never mind." Bai Yujie shook her head and smiled.
Wang Xue was about to be driven mad by her, how could she bully people like this, and still in front of her own boyfriend. The most infuriating thing was that her own boyfriend didn't even fart in response. Looking at Bai Yujie's smiling face, Wang Xue really wanted to go up and scratch her to death.
I didn't expect things to turn out like this, Zhang Ziheng suddenly had no idea what to do. These two girls are not easy to mess with, as the saying goes, "two tigers fighting must have one injury", especially when it happens to women, the situation will be even more severe.
