Zhi Ruo had just entered the office and kept her bag on the cubicle. Suddenly she was back hugged by someone followed by a screaming excited voice, "My G.o.d, at last, you are back. I thought you ran away."Laughing on Han Mi"s childish thoughts, Zhi Ruo smacked her head lightly. Turning around she hugged Han Mi tightly saying, "I missed you all. And why will I run away?"
Han Mi who was elated on Zhi Ruo"s arrival stuck her tongue out after teasing Zhi Ruo.
Zhi Ruo started to unpack her items from the bag while she also cleaned her working s.p.a.ce with wipes.
Han Mi took the opportunity to slide her chair and get it close to Zhi Ruo. Sitting on it she sipped her cup of coffee while intently looking at Zhi Ruo like a child looking at his favorite cartoon.
Zhi Ruo had been working with Han Mi for a good amount of time. With all the time she spent with Han Mi, she knew her ideas and thoughts. Han Mi was a very simple innocent girl who came from a middle cla.s.s, but a respectable family. Her family lives in the suburbs, while she came to Beijing for her job and to make a name for herself. All the years she stayed away from the family, she had been in contact with many people, including the white lotus friends and many others. Her experience also gave her the ability to choose and identify people. Han Mi had always felt inexplicably comfortable around Zhi Ruo, thus she would always show her most pure and childish side to her.
Zhi Ruo was placing all of her necessities on the table in an orderly fas.h.i.+on. Even though she was working with her side body facing Han Mi she was able to figure out the expression and the intent stare she was receiving from Han Mi easily. Completing the arrangements Zhi Ruo turned on her computer while she took the moment to ask Han Mi in a coquettish tone, "Have you fallen in love with me? Why are you staring at me so intently?"
Zhi Ruo"s question did not offend Han Mi, instead, there were no changes in her expression. Taking the opportunity she slid her chair more closer to Zhi Ruo, almost hitting her chair. Leaning close to her ear, Han Mi spoke in a low voice, "I was checking you out."
Zhi Ruo, who always thought Han Mi as the most innocent person was completely startled hearing what she just said. Zhi Ruo instinctively crossed her hands in front of her chest while she slid her chair further away from Han Mi asking in a questioning tone, "Were you actually checking me out since... that long?"
Han Mi innocently nodded her head, making Zhi Ruo"s face burn with shyness. It was probably the first time that Zhi Ruo was ever told by someone, that they were checking her out, making her feel a little self-conscious. Even if the other party was a girl, she felt a little awkward.
Han Mi who was enjoying Zhi Ruo"s vivid emotions laughed loudly on her. Sliding closer to her, Han Mi tried to touch her hand, which was still lying on her shoulder protecting her chest.
Zhi Ruo, who was conscious, quickly moved away from Han Mi.
The scene that both the working men saw after entering the office was, Zhi Ruo crossed her arms around her chest while sliding her chair away from Han Mi. On the other hand, Han Mi had her cup of coffee in one of her hand, while her other hand was stretched as if catching something, her chair was also sliding but it was following Zhi Ruo"s chair. The whole office was filled with Han Mi"s giggles and the sounds of chairs rolling all over the office s.p.a.ce hitting one or the other thing coming in their way.
