Tao Wenyao was stunned for a moment, then walked into the conference room, without saying a word, followed Zhu Yue to push the chairs back and tidy them up.

Although he is not as tall as Ren Sui, he is over 1.8 meters anyway, and he is still exercising, so he is always a big one wherever he stops, and his sense of presence is too strong.

Zhu Yue was originally facing him sideways, and didn't hear the sound of someone coming in at all, but he had already caught sight of him from the corner of his eye.

"Forgot to take something?" Zhu Yue turned her head and asked.

Tao Wenyao stopped to look at her, and said cautiously, "No, I just want to help you."

Since the last time he chatted with Zhu Yue in the game and was rejected outright by the other party, the relationship between him and Zhu Yue has become extremely awkward.

On weekdays, when he deliberately played tricks and played with everyone, Zhu Yue no longer spoke out to stop him or hurt him as before, but chose to turn a blind eye to them all.

It was as if the two of them were strangers.

It is obvious to the naked eye that Zhu Yue is deliberately alienating him, so that he will give up and retreat in spite of difficulties.

But this was the last thing he wanted to see.

"It's just a few chairs, you don't need help." Zhu Yue returned to him, her tone was light, and she turned her back completely after speaking.

Tao Wenyao just stood behind her, frowning, staring at her back, his gaze as if he wanted to see through her.

"I'm sorry." Tao Wenyao spoke again, and his voice could be heard very clearly in the empty conference room.

Zhu Yue paused for a while, blinked slowly a few times, suppressed all her emotions, and quietly hid herself before she stood up straight and turned around.

The two looked at each other, separated by several messy office chairs.

"I'm sorry." Tao Wenyao repeated again.

Zhu Yue sighed lightly: "You don't have to apologize."

Tao Wenyao: "But I was in the game that day"

"Tao Wenyao." Zhu Yue interrupted him indifferently, "You don't need to apologize to me, and you don't need to feel owed anything, because there is nothing between me and you."

When Tao Wenyao heard this, he thought that he had angered Zhu Yue again, and that he had done something wrong, so he panicked.

"Congratulations!" he shouted in panic.

Zhu Yue was still the same, with a calm expression, all the emotions in his eyes were completely hidden, and he never showed a trace.

Seeing Tao Wenyao like this, she said again: "Calm down and listen to me."

"If you want everything to be the same, then do nothing, don't apologize, and just carry on."

"But if you insist on doing what you did before, then we may not even be friends in the end."

Tao Wenyao clenched his teeth.

He wanted to refute, to object, but he was terribly afraid.

Zhu Yue has a cold temper, and most of the time she stays quietly on the sidelines, appearing to have a quiet and gentle temper.Actually do what you say, and be decisive.

If she said it couldn't be done, then it really couldn't be done.

Even if she was such a close friend before, she might be sentenced to death in an instant and no longer have any communication at all.

"As I said before, you are only 25 years old, you are young, healthy, smart, have a career and ability, you still have many opportunities, you can go to many places, and you will meet many people."

Zhu Yue continued.

"You are different from me. I will be 32 years old next year, and my life will be finalized in a few years. The only thing that greets me is the same. It is even more impossible for me to risk everything to pursue something like you."

"We... can be juniors and friends, but we can't be a couple."

Her speaking speed rarely slowed down a lot, and her tone was no longer indifferent.

But the content of the words made Tao Wenyao feel as if he had entered an ice cellar and was poured a bucket of ice water over his head. All the enthusiasm and expectations in his bones were completely extinguished by the bucket of water.

"If our relationship is important to you, don't try to do something else to ruin it."

After leaving these words, Zhu Yue hastily tidied up the last few chairs and left directly.

Only Tao Wenyao was left in the conference room.

He seemed to have lost his soul, just standing there blankly.

But his hands were clenched into fists, and the short nails seemed to be embedded in the flesh, and the heart-piercing pain spread all over his body.

As warm as the sun outside was, the environment he was in was as cold as it was right now.

After Zhu Yue came out, she went straight back to her work station.

En Siruo was sitting next to her, and before she sat down, he asked her for help on work matters.

After explaining clearly to En Siruo without haste, she slowly let out a long sigh of relief and sat back on her office chair.

"Sister Yue, are you okay?" En Siruo observed carefully and asked with concern.

Zhu Yue shook her head slightly: "It's okay."

"But you don't look very good-looking. Are you feeling unwell? Or are you in a bad mood?" En Siruo asked again.

The conversation between the two was clearly heard by Ren Sui who was sitting across the narrow aisle.

He also glanced at Zhu Yue with deep eyes.

Zhu Yue was stunned for a moment before hesitatingly asking: "Is it obvious?"

En Siruo nodded: "Well, your expression looks like you're about to cry."

"Really." Zhu Yue laughed, and the bitterness that could not be suppressed finally appeared in her eyes at this moment.

En Siruo looked at Zhu Yue with surprise in his eyes.

Working in the program team until now, En Siruo is the first time to see such a lost expression of Zhu Yue.

Even when "Little Forest" was forced to make major changes last time, Zhu Yue didn't show any signs of frustration on her face. She was usually as calm as a robot no matter how big or small it was.

"Do you want me to accompany you to ask for leave to go to the hospital?" En Siruo hurriedly asked, and hurriedly handed over the warm water he had just received.

Zhu Yue shook her head, and after taking a sip of the warm water, her sharp eyes saw the person walking quickly from a distance, and she immediately calmed down, all emotions were suppressed by her again.

"It's okay, I'll just sit for a while, you can do your work."

After speaking, Zhu Yue put the water glass back, turned the chair to face her computer, and stopped talking.

Being rejected, En Siruo couldn't continue talking, and went to work by himself.

At this time, Tao Wenyao happened to walk over from there, and sat back at his desk with his back to Zhu Yue.

Others in the programming team were also working on their own tasks, surprisingly quiet.

Tao Wenyao took a deep breath. The computer screen in front of him had already entered a dormant state due to a long period of no operation, and it was completely black.

It's like a mirror, but the background color is black.

Through this mirror, Tao Wenyao clearly saw the back of the short-haired man who was sitting very upright diagonally behind.

The other party didn't move too much, didn't notice all of this, and it was impossible to look back at him and expose his 'peeping' behavior like an ignorant boy.
