Love Affair: Professor's Hard To Please

Gu Baize withdrew his thoughts and asked plainly, "What did you just say? Sorry, I was a little distracted just now. I didn't hear the last few words. "    

Chen Yinyin felt that Gu Baize was very strange today but did not dig deeper. After all, she was not familiar with him to the extent that she could pry into his privacy.    

"I say, what do you think? We will continue to use S. [T] 's traditional elements, or should we introduce a new one to let industry insiders see our completely different appearances?]"    

"Do you think it's worth the risk?"    

Gu Baize threw the question back to her and waited for her answer.    

Chen Yinyin only thought about it for a moment and nodded seriously.    

"Pushing a new leaf out of the old and making a new leaf out of the old. Although T is strong in the industry, there are more and more rising stars now. If we blindly follow the tradition and do not seek changes and breakthroughs, sooner or later we will be eliminated. "    

"I was thinking the same thing"    

In terms of design insight, their tacit understanding could not be said to not be shocking. They could always think of the same idea, and it was much easier to communicate with each other.    

This was also one of the reasons why Gu Baize insisted on her.    

He needed a partner who could understand his thoughts without saying much. He needed to spend a limited amount of time on designing and modifying, and not waste a lot of time on communication efficiency.    

The general direction of the drafts had been decided. Chen Yinyin had finished reporting the work that she needed to report. She was about to leave when she was stopped by Gu Baize.    

"Wait a minute. "    

Chen Yinyin stopped and looked back at him in confusion.    

"Mr Gu, is there anything else?"    

He was silent for a moment and then said faintly: "Have you ever had a feeling of not being able to love?"    

He was suddenly asked this question. She didn't know how to answer.    

Love but not be able to?    

She thought about it carefully, but there was probably no such thing.    

When she was a girl, there was a situation where she liked someone but could not get a response, but that was only when she was young and ignorant. In her opinion, it could not be called "love. "    

"I was being rude. "    

Gu Baize smiled apologetically and said, "Go ahead and do your work. Just pretend that you did not hear the question I asked just now. "    

"No, it wasn't rude. "    

Chen Yinyin quickly explained, "It's just that you suddenly asked this question. I have to think about it carefully. If I think about it carefully, it should not have happened before. "    

He was not surprised by her answer at all.    

"That's true. Your relationship with Zhuo is stable and you love each other. How can you have feelings that you cannot love?"    

A self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips, and the loneliness in his eyes disappeared.    

Chen Yinyin was not used to seeing him like this.    

In her impression, he was always gentle and smiling at all times.    

"Mr Gu, although I can't empathize with you, I think it might be because fate has not arrived that I love you. Maybe. . . There will be other fate. "    

She originally wanted to comfort him, but she never thought that when he heard this, his expression seemed to become more and more serious.    

"No. . . I didn't mean that, I just wanted to say. . . "    

"I understand. "    

Originally, if Gu Baize did not mention the topic of "love but not be able to," she would not have wanted to pry into his privacy.    

But now that they had reached this point, there was no way she wouldn't be curious.    

After hesitating for a moment, she couldn't help but ask.    

"Mr Gu, is your 'love but not love' the owner of this handkerchief?"    

Gu Baize hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.    

"Is she the designer of the S-T?"    

He was slightly surprised when he heard that.    

"Why do you think so?"    

"I don't know if I'm wrong or not, but when I was sorting out the design drafts, I saw one of them. There was no name at the place of the signature, only a special mark. It seemed to be exactly the same as the pattern on your handkerchief, so I made this guess. "    

Seeing that Gu Baize did not speak, she quickly added. "I was just guessing. If you're wrong, just pretend I didn't say anything. "    

"You guessed it. . . . I guess so, designer. "    

He looked at the handkerchief. It was as if it was some rare treasure.    

"This handkerchief has accompanied me for more than ten years. It was given to me by someone I really care about. At that time, my parents passed away. If it wasn't for that person. . . I might not have been able to walk out of it for the rest of my life. "    

" Then she must be a gentle and kind person, right? "    

Gu Baize replied with a faint smile, "She is indeed kind, but not gentle at all. A person who can grab my collar when I am at my most dispirited and say to me, 'A man crying is the most useless performance', do you think he will be a gentle person? "    

Chen Yinyin thought of that scene and shook her head.    

She did not expect Gu Baize to like this type of girl, but it was not hard to understand.    

He had a gentle temperament and found a girl with a fiery temper to complement him. Unlike her and Feng Zhuo, their temperaments were too similar. When they were together, it was as if a firecracker had been lit.    

"Maybe she used her unique way to encourage you to pull yourself together. However, under those circumstances, I felt that it was understandable for a man to shed tears. After all, it was the death of the person closest to him. "    

"No matter how powerful a man is, there's something soft in his heart. He has his family and lover in his heart. When he's in trouble, he can cry whenever he wants. It's no big deal. "    

Gu Baize stared at her for a long time before he smiled and said: "You are different from those people. "    

"Not really. I just want to say whatever I want to say. If you miss your parents in the future and no one can talk to you, you can tell me. I won't laugh at you. "    

Perhaps because she noticed the heavy atmosphere, she added a joke at the end.    

"Thank you. "    

"You're welcome, Mr Gu. You are Feng Zhuo's good friend, which is also my good friend. I have already called you big brother. Don't treat me as an outsider anymore, okay?"    

Gu Baize slightly raised the corner of his lips and nodded.    

……    

When it was time to get off work, Chen Yinyin still had some work to do. She planned to leave after finishing her work, but she did not expect Feng Zhuo to come at this time.    

She pretended not to see him. She still remembered the childish things he did at noon!    

"Chen Yinyin, it seems that you really did not take my warning to heart. "    

The man's deep and warning voice came from less than a meter behind her.    

She curled her lips and said, "You have to do things from the beginning to the end. I'm finishing up here and I've received half of it. If you stop now, I won't feel well. Give me another half an hour. "    

"Not even a minute. "    

There was obvious displeasure in Feng Zhuo's voice. He said in a deep voice, "I will count down to three. If I don't turn off the computer and leave now, you know the consequences. "    

This was a blatant threat! But what could she do?    

She was a small shrimp at the bottom of the food chain. If she wasn't careful, she would die at the hands of President Feng, who was at the top of the pyramid.    

At this time, Gu Baize also came out and greeted Feng Zhuo when he saw him.    

Sensing the subtle atmosphere between the two, he tried to smooth things over. "Alright, alright. Hurry up and leave. Don't show off in front of me until my eyes hurt. "    

"It's for you to see. "    

Feng Zhuo put his arm around Chen Yinyin's shoulder and continued to provoke Gu Baize.    

"If you are envious, then quickly settle your marriage. "    

Chen Yinyin thought about the conversation with Gu Baize in the afternoon. In order to stop Feng Zhuo from continuing, she dragged him out of the workshop.    

"I was unwilling to leave just now. Why is it so urgent now?"
