10: You are talking nonsense. We love each other.jpg

After going to the restroom and washing his face, Su Yue strolled back to the workspace.

There was still an hour left for lunch break, and he planned to think carefully about the next steps for his actions.

Just as he was about to settle in, he suddenly felt a light tap on his left shoulder.

He glanced over impatiently and saw it was Li Haoyang, who was looking at him with an expression of needing a favor.

Li Haoyang was three years younger than Su Yue, and they joined the company at the same time.

Li Haoyang, being simple and not having any ill intentions, had always treated Su Yue as his Big Brother and was willing to tell him anything.

"Su Ge..."

Holding his phone, Li Haoyang hesitated for a few seconds and said sheepishly:

"My girlfriend seems a bit off."

"Girlfriend, off?!"

Su Yue repeated what Li Haoyang said, confused about what he meant.

Li Haoyang quickly took out his phone, opened the chat history with his girlfriend on WeChat, handed it to Su Yue to see, and explained.

"I feel like recently she's been very unenthusiastic when chatting with me, Su Ge, look here..."

As he spoke, Li Haoyang scrolled through his phone screen, found a previous chat history between him and his girlfriend, and showed it to Su Yue.

[Haoyang]: What are you doing, baby?

[Little Fairy Can't Be Wrong]: Lying down.

[Haoyang]: How about I take you to see an art exhibition?

[Little Fairy Can't Be Wrong]: Don't like it.

[Haoyang]: Then I'll take you out to eat?

[Little Fairy Can't Be Wrong]: Not hungry.

[Haoyang]: You can't just lie down on Sunday, it's a great time, how about we go hiking or have a spring outing?

[Little Fairy Can't Be Wrong]: Lazy.

....

"Before, my girlfriend would video call me until 11 PM and still be reluctant to hang up."

"But for the past month, she gets tired by 9 PM and wants to sleep."

"I still wanted to talk longer, but she would get impatient. This has been going on for a month."

Li Haoyang looked around, confirmed that no one in the office noticed their conversation, and then lowered his voice to ask Su Yue:

"Su Ge, do you think she... is seeing someone else?"

This thought had been building up in Li Haoyang's mind for a long time, but he had been unwilling to face it.

But once this thought arose, it would constantly linger in his mind, like entering a smoking room where the smell of second-hand smoke is impossible to shake off.

Unable to hold it in any longer, Li Haoyang finally opened up to Su Yue, hoping his Big Brother Su Yue could give him some advice.

After reading the chat history, Su Yue already had the answer in his heart.

Being so perfunctory, so half-hearted, brother, if this isn't cheating, what is it?

To be honest, he had never been particularly optimistic about the relationship between Li Haoyang and his girlfriend.

The reason was simple: Li Haoyang was too young, he didn't know that love actually involves a process of striving for initiative. Li Haoyang loved too humbly; such love wasn't sweetness to him, but pain, even a burden.

Moreover, a relationship with such a severe imbalance of status was bound not to last long. The other party would take Li Haoyang's efforts for granted, without gratitude or any return.

Let alone the other party, even Li Haoyang himself, it was clear his pain had far surpassed the sweetness of love. It was just that he was an honest young man who believed in the principle of 'if you don't leave me, I will stay with you until death.'

But while thinking this, Su Yue couldn't say it out loud.

After all, without evidence, speaking carelessly would ruin their relationship, and Su Yue didn't want to get involved in unnecessary karma.

"Brother, I think you..."

"You think what about me?" Li Haoyang asked eagerly.

"Ah, I wanted to say..."

The latter half of the sentence, 'don't overthink, your girlfriend wouldn't cheat,' hadn't been spoken yet when Su Yue looked at the anxious Li Haoyang in front of him and suddenly had an idea.

Li Haoyang was the youngest person in the department, and as a young person, he usually had a glorious task: running errands.

He was the one responsible for submitting department documents to Yang Qingmei.

With this thought, Su Yue's inspiration surged, and a new method for passing notes to Lan Zijun took shape.

Sorry, Haoyang, I need you to be a tool for a bit.

However, I promise, you definitely won out lose out.

Su Yue looked at Li Haoyang in front of him, thinking to himself.

This simple younger brother was about to unknowingly become a delivery tool, and Su Yue felt a slight twinge of guilt.

So he decided to lend his younger brother a hand and save him from his suffering.

"Haoyang..."

As he bent down and sat on the chair, Su Yue patted Li Haoyang's shoulder and said earnestly:

"Don't keep holding on. Your girlfriend has definitely cheated."

Li Haoyang was stunned for a moment, then waved his hand vigorously, looking anxious:

"No, no, Su Ge, we love each other very much!"

"Su Ge, you said this situation wouldn't happen!"

Sigh—

Su Yue sighed deeply, feeling frustrated that he couldn't make him see sense:

"Stop deceiving yourself. You can deny it with your mouth, but you can't deny it in your heart. Why torment yourself like this?"

Seeing Li Haoyang's noncommittal, lost, and helpless look, Su Yue decided to help this younger brother 'see the Buddha all the way to the west' (a Chinese idiom meaning to help someone thoroughly).

"Talking more is useless, facts speak for themselves. Let me verify it for you."

"Verify it?"

Li Haoyang repeated mechanically, his eyes full of confusion.

"How to verify, Su Ge? My girlfriend is on a business trip in Yunnan Province, thousands of kilometers away from us!"

"Distance isn't a problem. If you want to verify, there's always a way. Give me your phone."

Although his heart was filled with overwhelming doubts, Li Haoyang still chose to hand his phone to Su Yue.

The two sat side by side, one on the left and one on the right, placing the phone on the table. After a brief thought, Su Yue opened the WeChat chat window of Li Haoyang's girlfriend.

[Haoyang]: Baby, what are you doing?

Su Yue sent a WeChat message in Li Haoyang's tone.

They waited for a full 10 minutes before the other party's message replied.

[Little Fairy Can't Be Wrong]: Came to a restaurant with three leaders, about to eat.

"Eating with three leaders..."

Li Haoyang repeated the message sent by his girlfriend on the phone screen and said to Su Yue in a consultative tone:

"Su Ge, let's not disturb her. It's not good to keep playing on your phone while eating with leaders; it will leave a bad impression on them."

Hearing this, Su Yue chuckled lightly and said, "Are you sure she's really eating with the leaders?"

"Huh?!"

Li Haoyang didn't expect Su Yue to say that and didn't know how to respond, only stammering, "Otherwise, what? My girlfriend wouldn't lie to me..."

What a victim of pure love...

Su Yue glanced at Li Haoyang, shook his head slightly, and said, "Have you heard a saying?"

"What saying?" Li Haoyang looked at Su Yue in confusion.

"Love is a ray of light that makes you green with panic."

Su Yue spoke leisurely.
