"No problem." Fang Zheng plucked the strings and began to play. With his magnetic voice, the singing and the piano music echoed in his bedroom.

He Xinyan looked at him quietly, without blinking.

After playing, Fang Zheng put down the guitar, turned around and saw Du Qingqing standing at the door.

She leaned against the door frame, looking silently into the room.

He Xinyan stood up from her seat. This was the second time she met Du Qingqing. She was wearing a simple green pullover and her hair was tied into a ponytail at the back of her head. There was a soft light in her eyes, making her look gentle, calm and peaceful.

Du Qingqing avoided He Xinyan's aggressive gaze, she still made herself feel awkward, with her beauty and the nobility she exuded.

Fang Zheng immediately walked over to Du Qingqing, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "He Xinyan brought me some strings, we are trying them out."

He Xinyan stared at Fang Zheng's hand on Du Qingqing and asked in astonishment: "You——"

Fang Zheng hurriedly said: "I never had the chance to tell you that Du Qingqing is my girlfriend now."

"Girlfriend?" He Xinyan's smile faded and she murmured, "When did it happen?"

"It should be two months." Fang Zheng looked at Du Qingqing's face and smiled.

With Fang Zheng's hand on her shoulder, Du Qingqing felt much more stable. She gave He Xinyan a kind smile and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time."

He Xinyan looked at Fang Zheng, seemingly still not coming back to her senses, "Yes, Fang Zheng was still applying for the job the last time we met."

Du Qingqing said: "Fang Zheng was able to win the job thanks to your help."

He Xinyan glanced at Fang Zheng and said, "It's Fang Zheng's own ability. It's none of my business."

"He Xinyan is the one who can do it." Fang Zheng said to Du Qingqing, "She organizes a lot of activities for our employees, and she sings very well, too."

Du Qingqing looked at He Xinyan again, and her eyes stayed on Fang Zheng's face. The look was complicated and changeable, not like pure friendship. She quickly retracted her gaze and dared not look over there again.

"You guys chat," Du Qingqing said, "I'll go help Auntie cook."

Du Qingqing said this as she broke free from Fang Zheng's hand and walked towards the kitchen.

He Xinyan turned her head to work on the computer and stopped talking. Although her eyes stayed on the computer, her mind could no longer gather any thoughts. The web page opened on the computer seemed to have only colors and no words could be seen clearly.

During the meal, Fang Zheng asked Du Qingqing to sit next to him, and He Xinyan took the initiative to sit on the other side of Fang Zheng.

"This girl is very well-behaved. Is she Fang Zheng's girlfriend?" Fang Jiahui asked.

Yang Hua smiled and nodded, saying, "We grew up together and have a very good relationship."

He Xinyan's heart tightened when she heard Yang Hua's happy tone. Fang Zheng's girlfriend! It was strange, why was she so sensitive to this word today?

Du Qingqing buried her head in eating, carefully glancing at Fang Zheng beside her out of the corner of her eye.

"Fang Zheng, don't you usually talk a lot?" Boxingfa said, "Why are you so quiet today?"

Fang Zheng looked up at his uncle and said, "I'm hungry today and don't have time to talk."

He Xinyan suddenly said, "Why don't I give you a riddle to guess."

Everyone stared at He Xinyan, waiting for her riddle.

"This is a love riddle." He Xinyan said. Although she was speaking to everyone, her eyes were fixed on Fang Zheng. "Listen carefully. Six words: I can't forget you but my heart is broken. They are deeply in love and lean on each other. The Cowherd and the Man meet at the ancient temple. There is another person with a knife in his heart. They look at each other and follow each other's heart. Someone occasionally leans on each other.
