Zheng Yuntong didn't hesitate this time, nor was she distressed that she didn't know how to refuse.
She thought that maybe Guan Zexi's series of actions just now made her feel disgusted, so she didn't care if it would hurt his heart.
"Sorry, senior, in my eyes, you're just a senior. And — "Zheng Yuntong took a deep breath," I already have someone I like. I don't know if he likes me or if it's possible for us to be together, but I'm willing to maintain this affection. Because of this affection, I can't accept anyone else. "
"Who's that person?" Guan Zexi frowned and asked, "Is he from your company?"
His tone was unfriendly, as if he was going to question her if he knew.
Zheng Yuntong shook her head, "I'm in the stage of unrequited love now, so I don't want to cause trouble for him. Actually, who I like has nothing to do with you. I used to treat you as my senior, and now and in the future. "
Guan Zexi didn't seem to understand and was still entangled in the previous question, "Is it Wei Zilin? I know he's excellent, and Wei Zilin is like an expensive and gorgeous accessory to a girl. It's no surprise that you like him. But it's impossible for you. "
"It's not him, he's just my boss. I don't have those unrealistic fantasies. The person I like is just an ordinary person, not the boss of a company. "Zheng Yuntong was a little impatient," Senior, you don't need to guess anymore. Even if there's no one else, it won't be you. Please don't continue to pester me, and keep some of the respect I've always had for you, okay? "
Guan Zexi opened his mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Zheng Yuntong's ringtone.
Zheng Yuntong looked at the caller ID, it was Shen Zongyi.
She didn't know why, but just seeing his name, her heart surged with joy and sweetness.
Zheng Yuntong's originally tense face obviously relaxed, and she didn't even know that at this time, the corners of her mouth gently curved up, like a little girl in love.
Guan Zexi's gaze stagnated, and he somewhat angrily let go.
Zheng Yuntong just picked up the phone, and before she had time to say anything, she heard Shen Zongyi ask coldly, "Are you on a date?"
Zheng Yuntong couldn't tell whether she was happy or nervous, afraid that he would misunderstand. This kind of complicated feeling was hard to explain, but she wasn't unhappy.
Even in the face of Shen Zongyi's unreasonable questioning, she didn't feel too much when it was Guan Zexi.
"Is that so? Alright, I'll be right back. " Zheng Yuntong hung up the phone in a hurry and said to Guan Zexi apologetically, "Senior, I'm sorry. There's an emergency at the company. I have to go back first."
She got up, hesitated, and said, "Let's split the bill."
Guan Zexi also stood up. "We agreed that I would treat you. Don't feel embarrassed just because you rejected me."
He raised his hand and looked at the wristwatch, as if he wanted to let Zheng Yuntong see the brand of the wristwatch clearly. It was not a cheap one. "I'll send you back."
Outside the restaurant, Shen Zongyi put down the phone through the window. Just now, she hung up the phone without any rhyme or reason. Shen Zongyi laughed. Looking through the glass window of the restaurant, he looked like a peeping tom to outsiders.
The customers who were eating by the window noticed that there was such a big living person through the glass. They immediately lost their appetite and looked at Shen Zongyi in horror, but Shen Zongyi didn't notice anything.
One of the two young women passing by secretly pointed at Shen Zongyi and whispered to her companion, "Look at him, he's dressed quite decently. Why doesn't he have money to eat?"
Shen Zongyi was speechless.
Seeing that the two people inside had gotten up and Guan Zexi was about to send Zheng Yuntong out, Shen Zongyi didn't hear Zheng Yuntong's reply. He turned and walked towards the door. He entered the restaurant and strode to Zheng Yuntong's side.
Guan Zexi and Zheng Yuntong were both surprised by his sudden appearance. Shen Zongyi calmly nodded at Guan Zexi and said to Zheng Yuntong, "I just received a call and have to go back to the company to deal with work. I heard that the whole department has to hurry back. I passed by this restaurant just now and saw that you were here, so I came to pick you up."
She had just made up something in a hurry, but Shen Zongyi could actually go along with her words without changing his expression. His expression was so serious that Zheng Yuntong couldn't help but wonder if she had made up the right thing by accident and really had to go back to the company to work overtime.
"Oh, that's just right," Zheng Yuntong said quickly and said to Guan Zexi, "Senior, I can go back with Assistant Shen. You didn't eat much, so why don't you finish eating here? You don't have to send me back. "
With that, she left with Shen Zongyi.
When they walked to the cashier at the door, Shen Zongyi stopped, turned around and said to the cashier sitting inside, "Table 7 just now, please pay the bill."
Zheng Yuntong opened her mouth. How could she let Shen Zongyi pay the bill for their meal?
However, Shen Zongyi looked at her coldly and made Zheng Yuntong shut up.
After paying the bill, he left with Zheng Yuntong. His steps were a little big, so Zheng Yuntong had to hurry to catch up with him.
"Assistant Shen, I'll return the money to you when we get back," Zheng Yuntong said.
"No need," Shen Zongyi said lightly.
"How can I do that? It's not your meal, how can I let you spend money?" Zheng Yuntong said.
"Do you want me to invite him?" Shen Zongyi narrowed his eyes and turned to look at her.
Zheng Yuntong immediately shrank her neck. She wanted to say that it was reasonable for her to invite him, but under Shen Zongyi's gaze, she swallowed the words she wanted to say.
"By the way, Assistant Shen, do we really have to go back to the company to work overtime?" Zheng Yuntong asked again.
"No, didn't you just say that you had something to do at the company on the phone? I just played along with what you said. " Shen Zongyi noticed that Zheng Yuntong was a little breathless. Shen Zongyi slowly slowed down and matched Zheng Yuntong's pace.
He was a little angry just now, so he unconsciously quickened his pace. Now that he had calmed down, he simply stopped and let Zheng Yuntong catch her breath.
Zheng Yuntong didn't understand Shen Zongyi's intention, but she was still very happy to stop and rest for a while.
"What's wrong? Did you have a bad chat with your senior just now? Otherwise, why would you find an excuse to leave early? "Shen Zongyi looked at her." Weren't you happy to see him before? "
"It's okay, not really happy. It's just that I met an acquaintance that I haven't seen for a long time, so I feel close." Zheng Yuntong shook her head. "But I probably won't have any contact with him in the future."
"Why? When I called you just now, I saw him holding your wrist, and it looked very intimate. "Shen Zongyi sneered." I haven't seen you for a long time. Because you deliberately came here, your purpose is not ordinary, right? Is he going to confess to you? "
Zheng Yuntong's look of "how do you know" made Shen Zongyi narrow his eyes. His whole body froze into a large ice sculpture, emitting a chilly aura. "He really confessed to you?"
"Yeah." Zheng Yuntong blushed and nodded uncomfortably.
One would feel a little vain and prideful after being confessed to and liked by someone.
"Your senior is quite good. There should be many people who like him. Why didn't you say yes?" Shen Zongyi's tone became warmer as he spoke.
This sudden change in temperature made Zheng Yuntong feel a little dizzy, as if she had a bad cold.
"How did you know that I rejected him?" Zheng Yuntong asked in surprise.
"Otherwise, why would you use such a lame excuse to leave? When I called you, you looked so happy that you wanted to escape. "Thinking of her reaction, Shen Zongyi felt a lot better, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"So you saw it all," Zheng Yuntong said in a low voice. "I don't have any feelings for him. If I liked him, I would have liked him in university. At that time, many of my female classmates liked him very much, and he was very popular in school. As the president of the student council, he was good-looking and very popular. At that time, I was the secretary of the student council, and he took good care of me. I admired him, but it wasn't the type that I liked. It was the kind of admiration that I felt when a person was outstanding. I never thought about being with him or anything like that. I was also shocked when he suddenly confessed. "
"Since he's not bad, why not try?" Shen Zongyi's voice was a little far away, and she couldn't tell what he was thinking.
Zheng Yuntong thought that Shen Zongyi was encouraging her, as if he didn't have that kind of feelings for her. All this while, had Lin Chu and Xu Moyan been wrong about him?
In the end, she still couldn't escape the fact that she thought too much of herself?
Thinking of this, she felt down. In front of Guan Zexi just now, she swore that she would always maintain this feeling for him. But now, her heart didn't seem to be as strong as she thought. She didn't seem to be able to guard this secret love of his. If he wasn't hers in the end, if he got married and had children, and had his own family, she would only let go.
It was easy to say, but when she put it into practice, her chest hurt.
She raised her hand and rubbed her aching chest without caring about her image. She felt so uncomfortable that she didn't care that Shen Zongyi was still there. Her actions weren't very appropriate.
"Many people might think that his appearance is not bad. He used to be very popular in school. Although I haven't seen him for a long time, now that he has some achievements and is young and promising, he should be even more popular. But this has nothing to do with me. His personality is too strong, and he doesn't like others to go against him. Even when he confessed to me, he looked like he wouldn't allow me to reject him. I rejected him, and I could tell that he was very angry. At this time, rather than saying that he likes me, it's more like he doesn't like the taste of failure. This kind of personality doesn't suit me. I'm very disgusted with such a strong personality. Of course, I can't accept him. "
Hearing Zheng Yuntong's words, Shen Zongyi seemed to be thinking about something and looked like he was deep in thought.
When he came back to his senses, he saw that her hand was on her chest. His gaze froze, and his breathing became a little uneven.
Then, his gaze focused and landed on her wrist.
He didn't care that her hand was still pressed against her chest, and he reached out to grab her hand and pull it over. His fingertips accidentally swept across her chest. Zheng Yuntong trembled, and her face turned red.
Shen Zongyi's throat slid, and he felt a little uncomfortable. He wanted to apologize, but he felt that it was better to pretend that he didn't know so that both parties wouldn't feel awkward.
