Chapter 6 — The General Has Fulfilled All My Wishes

He pulled out an exquisite gift box from his pocket. When I saw the brand logo clearly on the box, I was completely stunned. “For… you.” It was the chocolate that I intentionally let him see that day. Time seemed to freeze in that moment. There was only the sound of the wind whistling in my ears, along with the sound of my heart beating, not sure whose it belonged to. Seeing that I didn't react, his eyes flashed with panic and his voice trembled. “Don't… like it?” “I like it.” I mumbled a reply, taking the box of chocolates in his hand. Peeling one off, I instinctively gave it to him, but suddenly remembered something and stuffed it into my mouth. “I almost forgot, I don't eat sweets.” As soon as the words came out, his eyes immediately lit up. I suddenly realized what that statement revealed, my cheeks immediately heated up. Just as he was about to explain, the sound of hurried footsteps rang out outside the door. Director Lam himself came. "General Manager Tri, I'm so embarrassed. We were in a hurry to eat so we accidentally locked the front door!" Tri Du politely expressed sympathy, smiling politely in response. But for some reason, I kept feeling that his smile was a bit forced, even a bit disappointed. 14 On the way home, Tri Du noticed something very strange. Sometimes he held the phone and typed rapidly, other times he put his hand on his forehead as if he was thinking hard about something. I opened my phone to look and discovered that Tri Du had just posted an article again. [Gifted chocolate! But just when the atmosphere was at its sweetest, it was ruined by an unreasonable person!!] [But she remembered that I don't eat sweets! It's so much fun! Really excited!] [Now that she's sitting right next to me, I can only pretend to be calm, it's so hard to hold back, I have to come up here to share the joy!] Looking at each line of words, happiness overflows, my heart is also sweet. I raised my head to look at him, unable to bear it. He still looked seriously straight ahead, but the corners of his lips slightly raised could not hide his true emotions. The car slowly stopped, and I discovered he was driving straight under my house. “That… the design still has a few points that need to be adjusted, or should we discuss it a little more?” I blurted it out without thinking. “How about going to my house?” Leading him up the narrow stairs of the dormitory, I suddenly remembered that with a simple environment like this, how could Tri Du stand it? But the surprising thing is, he adapted very quickly. Sitting on the old lounge chair as if it were his own seat, elegant and calm, his innate aura made even the worn-out room brighten up. “Mian Mien, this place needs some tweaking.” He pointed to the drawing, his expression attentive. The second time he called me by that familiar name, I realized how close that way of addressing was. My face turned red, Tri Du's ears also turned pink. He slowly but firmly gave me some very practical suggestions for improvement. When I finished fixing it, I looked at the clock and it was already midnight. Tri Du stood up, raised his head to look out the window, and suddenly frowned. I looked, it was pouring rain outside. I rolled my eyes at the single bed in the storage room and said shyly: "There's a bed here. If you don't mind..." "Don't mind." He agreed immediately. Before I could finish my sentence, he accepted. Then went straight to that small single bed. 15 Maybe because I was too tired, I fell asleep as soon as I lay down on the bed. And I didn't know it, in In the storage room next door, Tri Du was so excited that he couldn't sleep, holding his phone and typing like crazy. [I knew right away that she also had feelings for me! I slept over at her house! Even though she's sleeping in the storage room!] [Apart from the curtain, I can still see her sleeping face, her eyelashes are long and thick, her cheeks are lightly pink, why are they so adorable!] [I really can't bear to close my eyes, afraid that if I just wake up, everything will turn into a dream!] Night owl netizens immediately grabbed the new post. [Operator, you've reached this point and haven't taken action yet? What's wrong with you?] Tri Du responded immediately. [Do you think everyone is like you? I'm not the type to think only with the lower half of my body. She and I are not in a hurry to do that, besides, why do I need to brag about how hard I control myself?] [You don't understand, even though my body is a bit uncomfortable, just looking at her quietly makes me feel very happy.] Another comment immediately followed. [Unexpectedly, the OP is also a pure guy.] [But hey, if a girl really likes you, she'll definitely have the feeling. If it's not because you're too ugly, then... I understand!] With this sentence, Tri Du responded immediately. [Star? Are you jealous because I'm about to be happy?] [I feel like she also likes me, those things will happen sooner or later!] 16 The next morning, I took the same car with Tri Du to the company. There were light dark circles under his eyes, clearly he couldn't sleep all night in that shabby room. Nearing the company, I was afraid of being seen and misunderstood by others, so I made an excuse to get off the bus early and wait a few minutes before entering the building. Almost at the same time, Tri Du's article was updated. [Is it that hard for me to accept? Making up a stupid reason just to not go in with me? Do you really think I don't notice?] [Yesterday was so good... where did it go wrong?] My heavy work makes me no longer have time to pay attention to my writing. This is the first time I have taken on a large project like Lam Thi's, success or failure is directly related to my future. Even the apartment that I've been looking at for so long is almost within reach. For a month, I stopped working at the construction site and returned to the office to edit drawings. Tri Du often comes to my place, bringing all kinds of energy-boosting snacks, but I don't have time to eat. I still remember one time he personally came to invite me to eat hot pot. But at that time the project was in a key stage, a hot pot meal was too time consuming, and had a strong smell, not suitable for meeting guests afterwards. I had to refuse.
