"Looks like someone is on cloud nine today."

"Me? Of course. I'm extremely happy today."

I also felt like my face was glowing today and it's no surprise that Pangzi noticed it. I felt like I'm floating in the sky among the comfy clouds.

"Wuxie."

"Pangzi."

"I... I'm sorry."

"No. It's okay. I understand. You are still my favorite here. And it's so relieving to know we are one team."

Thinking back, all these days Pangzi was there for me all the time. Even though he kept the truth from me, he only wanted my good. I'm glad that grandma sent him here.

"Wuxie. Wu grandma care for you for real. She truly regrets what happened in the past. I know you still don't accept them as your family. I'm not saying forget everything. But give them a chance to make up for everything."

"I know Pangzi. I just... I don't know I can't make myself trust them fully. But someday I may be able to believe them."

"Okay good."

Pangzi patted on my shoulders, stressing that he will be here for me. It's so reassuring.

"Oh well, I thought manager Zhang will be on leave today. So the injury wasn't serious at all."

"WHAT? He is here? Why you didn't tell me first?"

It's given, I didn't wait for Pangzi to answer me. I ran to his office. I thought, even if Xiao ge wants to come to work, Rishan brother will not allow it. When I saw him through the glass doors of his cabin, he was working on his computer, typing something so hard.
I opened the door. Before he never bothered to look at me unless I say something important or test his tolerance. So I'll always sit and stare at him for a long time and only if he feels like interacting with me, he minds me. But today as he saw it was me, he stopped whatever he was doing and asked me first.,

"What you want?"

"You."

"What? "

"Ayya... I just come to check on you. Why did you come today? You should've taken rest for a day."

"Not necessary."

"Xiao ge, it's your shoulder. You have to be careful. And I saw you were typing so hard. Isn't it a strain for the shoulder?"

"No."

"You... I'm saying all these for your good. Let me see."

I went over to him to have a clear look on his screen. Since I don't have to hide my love any more of course I decided not to stay back. I leaned towards him holding his hand which was on the mouse. He flinched as my hands touched his.

"What are doing."

He took back his hand. Hiding them under the table.

"Let me see. Look, you have been entering the data for hours and you could only finish this much. You are slow because of injury, aren't you?"

"It's nothing."

"Why it's nothing. And why are you even doing this when there are so many people here.

Listen. Xiao ge give it to me. I'll do it."

I was still leaning to the front, inches away from his face. I could see his cheeks getting red.

"Xiao ge. Let me do something for you."

"O..okay. You move aside."

"Hehe.. Then mail it to me. I'll enter the entire data and also sort it for you."

I took the file, it was about 30 pages, and to be honest, I paused for a second before taking it.

Yes, wuxie if you want to win his heart you have to do sweat a little bit. It's okay. Fighting.

I was almost at the doors and suddenly xiao ge called me.

"Wuxie..."

For some reason, It made me so happy.

I think he is going to thank me. I should think of a great line to reply, think Wuxie think...

"Here. You forgot to take this."

He moved a file which was in front of him to the front and tapped on it. I did a double-take as I saw that file. It was thicker than any of my art books in college.

"What you mean xiao ge?"

"The data to enter."

"You are now just messing with me, right? I know that's not it."

"Are you taking it or not?"

"That's a lot."

"Give it back. I'll do it."

"No no no.. I got this. I'll do it. Then..what's the deadline?"

"Tomorrow."

"WHAT?? You want me dead, don't you? Xiao ge, please don't punish me in this way."

"Tomorrow is Sunday. So I won't count it. Get it done by next Wednesday."

"Woww.. You are the best xiao ge. Muah.

I gave him a flying kiss. He was flustered by my action and me unbothered.

" Crazy."

My days at the office went by like this, I see him every day at the office and finds chances to flirt with him. It's so fun. I enjoy his annoyed little reactions for me. I never lose a chance to spend time with him, I even go to meet investors and sellers with him. Till now there is no positive response from him. But I can for sure say there is a lot of progression in our relationship. He doesn't avoid me like before. Yes. That's the progress. I still hear him saying 'nonsense', 'crazy' etc.
Sometimes I pity him and think about teaching him some more words, then thinking about there is high chances for him to use it on me, I stopped myself.

After a week

I woke up to the phone notifications sound. I opened the messaging app

Happy Birthday, Wuxie.
Many more returns of the day.
Happy Birthday, friend.
(Repeat ×100)

Yes. It's my birthday. If I was with my friends today would have been a tough day. For me and my wallet too. Since I'm here the celebrations are limited to messages. I replayed as many messages as I can and got ready for office. Viewing myself in the mirror, I wished myself a blasting birthday.

"Happy Birthday Wuxie. Even if your friends are not here in person they all messaged you. Know that everybody likes you. To celebrate with them, it was the best price for you.

Haa. Of course, now it doesn't matter. Because now I have someone. Wuxie let's get his wishes and mmmm.... Hahaha.. Haha.. Wuxie you sly."
