Cheng Su led Ying Xiaoya to a corner under the tree and sat down, even pouring her a cup of tea, and asked, "What’s wrong today? Why do you have red eyes? Is something bothering you?"
Ying Xiaoya’s face turned red as she said, "It’s nothing. Go ahead with your work; don’t worry about me."
"Nothing? And yet your eyes are red? Don’t try to fob me off with the old ’got sand in my eyes’ excuse—I don’t buy it," Cheng Su said, raising an eyebrow.
Ying Xiaoya looked down and it took her a long while to reply, "I just feel ashamed. Seeing how seriously you all work, while I’m here feeling lovelorn and melancholic."
"Oh? So, you’re in love?" Interest sparked in Cheng Su’s eyes as she asked, "Come on, spill the beans, which gentleman has stolen our Miss Ying’s heart?"
"Cut it out," scoffed Ying Xiaoya with a glare, then sighed deeply and said, "It’s not that I’m in love. I’m just annoyed."
"Oh?"
"Remember Zhang Yujun, the guy who came with me last time?"
Remember him? Cheng Su did not like that man at all, since his character was questionable. She had also noticed Zhang Yujun’s interest in Xiao Ya and had been uncomfortable with his brooding gaze.
Even when Ying Xiaoya was just joking around with Ning Ge, the look Zhang Yujun gave them was like he was watching an adulterous couple—even though he had no relationship with Xiao Ya at all!
Just from this, it was clear that the man was narrow-minded and lacking in generosity.
"Is he persistently pursuing you?"
Persistently pursuing—yeah, that seemed about right. Ying Xiaoya nodded and said, "I’ve already rejected him, but he still won’t give up. At the factory, he even does things to make everyone misunderstand. Now many people think I’m his girlfriend; no matter how I try to explain, it’s no use. It’s so annoying."
