As expected by Jiang Yao, he was rejected by the External Relations Department, but to his surprise, he entered the second round of interviews in the Secretary Department, while He Ming received interview notices from two departments.

He Ming rejected the invitation from the External Relations Department without hesitation, and encouraged Jiang Yao to go to the Secretary Department with him.

In fact, Jiang Yao is not very interested in joining the club. He just wants to get closer to Xie Zhijin, so he is a little hesitant.

It was He Ming's words that made him make up his mind, "Are you going to let me go alone?"

Jiang Yao felt guilty when he heard the words. It was because of him that He Ming went to the student union interview, and he should not give up halfway because of He Ming, a good friend.

He used to put other people's emotions first, and finally went to the secretary department for a new round of interviews with He Ming.

The interview process was particularly smooth. He and He Ming were assigned to the same group by coincidence. I don’t know if He Ming intended to cooperate with him. The two of them had a tacit understanding when completing the task. Even the team members said that they seemed to be working together. Same for many years.

Jiang Yao also met Xie Zhijin during the interview.

The External Relations Department is also conducting new selections. When Jiang Yao and He Ming leaned together to read the materials and prepare for the summary later, Xie Zhijin came to Li Wei to get something.

As soon as Jiang Yao looked up and saw Xie Zhijin, the text on the screen became floating, and his thoughts were no longer clear. He Ming bumped him lightly with his shoulder, and he returned his attention to the task.

Xie Zhijin was talking with Li Wei, his gaze quietly passed over Jiang Yao and He Ming who were leaning against each other.

He Ming put one hand on the edge of Jiang Yao's chair, and his head was almost touching Jiang Yao's. The two of them looked at the screen of the notebook intently. It should be that He Ming said something to wake up Jiang Yao, and Jiang Yao suddenly realized what he was doing. With his lips parted slightly, he turned his head and grinned at He Ming.

too close--

Xie Zhijin frowned subconsciously.

"I plan to recruit both of them," Li Wei said with a grin. "Our secretarial department also needs to have two facades to boost the overall appearance. How about your side?"

Xie Zhijin looked away, and said calmly, "You want to recruit Jiang Yao?"

"Yeah, didn't your external relations department dismiss him? I think he is quiet and suitable for doing some paperwork..."

"When will the result be out?"

"We have agreed tonight and will send a text message tomorrow."

Xie Zhijin nodded to show that he knew, took the document and walked out of the office, and when he closed the door, he saw Jiang Yao who rolled his eyes with a smile.



Jiang Yao and Xie Zhijin's five years of acquaintance in junior high school were not all peaceful.

Xie Zhijin is by nature, extremely introverted, seldom speaks, and will keep everything in his heart. Most of the time Jiang Yao spends with the other party has to rely on guessing, and he may not be able to guess right. Sometimes he will be self-defeating. As time goes by, Jiang Yao Yao didn't dare to speculate on Xie Zhijin's thoughts.

In the first semester of the second year of high school, a new transfer student came to their class. She was a very lively and cheerful girl named Zhang Rui.

The teacher arranged for Jiang Yao and Zhang Rui to be at the same table. Zhang Rui talked a lot, and Jiang Yao was the type to answer every question. She inquired about Jiang Yao's details on the first day. After asking, she found that the two lived together. The community is only one street away, Zhang Rui immediately offered to go home with Jiang Yao.

Except for repeating studies, Jiang Yao was a day student for the rest of the three years of high school. When Zhang Rui said this, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Xie Zhijin in the back seat.

Jiang Yao learned not to reject the enthusiasm of others, so he had to say, "I'm going with Xie Zhijin, I have to ask him."

During the big break, he called Xie Zhijin out of the corridor, and asked Xie Zhijin hesitantly if he could let Zhang Rui go home with them. In order to get Xie Zhijin to agree, he added, "She looks good... "

It sounded like he was looking forward to Xie Zhijin's agreement with Zhang Rui to join their team going home.

The corners of Xie Zhijin's lips sank slightly, "Then you go with her, I will go back by myself."

Jiang Yao was stunned for a moment, and instinctively stretched out his hand to grab Xie Zhijin, but Xie Zhijin's cold eyes made him withdraw his hand, and he said anxiously, "That's not what I meant..."

"Then what do you mean?" Xie Zhijin said calmly, "Since you have already decided to go with her, you don't need to ask my opinion."

Jiang Yao opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain, but before he could figure out why, the class bell summoned them back to the classroom.

In the last class, Jiang Yao was restless and always turned his head to look at Xie Zhijin, but Xie Zhijin listened intently without even giving him a look.

When school was over, Zhang Rui, not knowing why, picked up her schoolbag and called Jiang Yao, "Let's go."

Jiang Yao really couldn't tell Zhang Rui what happened between him and Xie Zhijin, so he had to stand up with Zhang Rui, and saw Xie Zhijin disappearing in the corridor first from the corner of his eyes.

That was the first time Jiang Yao didn't go home with Xie Zhijin except for special circumstances.

In the evening, he sent a message to Xie Zhijin, typed a bunch of words, and finally sent only three words, "I'm sorry."

Xie Zhijin didn't reply to him, and the two had a cold war for the first time.

It’s not necessarily a cold war. Xie Zhijin is indifferent. In his friendship with Jiang Yao, if Jiang Yao doesn’t take the initiative to find him, the two of them will be companions on the way to and from school, and the rest of the time is no different from ordinary classmates.

But now that Jiang Yao and Zhang Rui go home together, the intersection between him and Xie Zhijin becomes negligible.

For the first two days, Jiang Yao was still very distressed, but gradually, he also experienced a different feeling.

Jiang Yao has very few friends, and to make friends with people like Xie Zhijin, he puts all his enthusiasm into making friends, but he may not get a full response. Every time he goes to and from school, Jiang Yao racks his brains to talk to Xie Zhijin , Xie Zhijin would respond when he was in a good mood, but most of the time it was Jiang Yao who was talking to himself.

Zhang Rui has the completely opposite character to Xie Zhijin.

Carefree and straightforward, Jiang Yao doesn't need to try his best to guess what she is thinking, she will speak out her inner thoughts freely, and from time to time she will pop up a lot of funny jokes to make Jiang Yao laugh.

On the fifth day of going home with Zhang Rui, Jiang Yao bumped into Xie Zhijin on the road.

He was laughing at Zhang Rui's newly collected jokes from the Internet and bent over. As soon as he looked up, he saw Xie Zhijin in front of him.

Like a child who was caught doing bad things by his parents, or like a puppy who was caught stealing snacks, Jiang Yao didn't know why, but at that moment he felt guilty, and the smile on his face faded away a little bit.

Zhang Rui wondered, "What's wrong?"

Xie Zhijin walked away with a cold face, he never showed any expression, but Jiang Yao felt that Xie Zhijin was angry.

Jiang Yao hurriedly said goodbye to Zhang Rui, quickly caught up with Xie Zhijin, saw the door about to close at the elevator entrance, and said repeatedly, "Wait..."

With my words in my throat, the elevator door made a slight closing sound, isolating Jiang Yao from the outside.

Jiang and Xie's parents somehow found out about Xie Zhijin and Jiang Yao's quarrel, and Jiang's mother caught Jiang Yao to come to ask Xie Zhijin for peace.

"Zhijin is such a good child, why did you quarrel with him?"

"If there is something to talk about, just apologize to Zhijin and let it go."

Everyone thinks that Jiang Yao's ability to make friends with Xie Zhijin is his "high climb", even his family members think so.

Between the mediocre duck and the proud and glamorous swan, it is only natural that everyone's balance will be tilted.

Thinking about his mother's words, Jiang Yao knocked on Xie Zhijin's door anxiously, and the other party let him in.

Xie Zhijin was leaning on the edge of the bed reading a book, and only rolled his eyelids when he saw him, with a cold and indifferent appearance, like an eternal iceberg that would never melt.

Jiang Yao felt a little cold, but still relying on his love for Xie Zhijin, he slowly approached him regardless of the cold, and said softly, "Xie Zhijin, don't ignore me."

Xie Zhijin flipped through the pages of the book, and said indifferently, "I didn't ignore you."

Jiang Yao gritted his teeth, "I won't go with Zhang Rui in the future..."

Xie Zhijin just put down the book and turned his eyes to Jiang Yao. Jiang Yao sniffed aggrievedly. Seeing him like this, Xie Zhijin's voice was freezing cold, "You are so reluctant, don't force it."

Jiang Yao choked in fright, "I am willing."

Fearing that Xie Zhijin would not believe it, he approached cautiously, climbed onto Xie Zhijin's bed, his moist eyes were full of hope, and asked the other party, "I'll wait for you downstairs tomorrow, okay?"

Xie Zhijin looked at him deeply for a while, and asked, "What did you say on the way?"

Jiang Yao replied sincerely, "She told me jokes..."

"Is it funny?"

Jiang Yao nodded his head, seeing Xie Zhijin's cold face, he shook his head quickly, Xie Zhijin patted his quilt and let Jiang Yao get in.

Jiang Yao whispered, "I'll wait for you downstairs tomorrow."

Xie Zhijin picked up the book again, hummed, and caught a glimpse of Jiang Yao smiling in relief from the corner of his eye.



After many years, the scene reappeared, but the object changed from Zhang Rui to He Ming.

Xie Zhijin used some force to close the office door tightly, completely blocking Jiang Yao's smile from sight.
