Chapter 118: Chapter 118 Eavesdropping on Qiao Qiao’s Inner Thoughts (Four updates for subscription! Vote for monthly tickets!)

"Alright," Chen Yan agreed. He shut down his computer, then walked outside with Yu Qiao Qiao.

"The autumn tiger" had just started to flex its muscles, and the temperature was even hotter than in the summer.

And since Mai Island was near the sea, there was also a bit of humidity in the air.

Stepping out of the building, without air conditioning, both of them felt as though a thin layer of moisture had covered their bodies, making it quite sultry.

Walking along the road, Chen Yan asked Yu Qiao Qiao, "What was it you said you wanted to talk about?"

Yu Qiao Qiao, walking beside Chen Yan, looked down and occasionally kicked at the ground, as though she was a bit tangled up inside, "Actually, it’s nothing much. It’s about the WeChat conversation we didn’t finish tonight."

When he heard Yu Qiao Qiao mention WeChat, Chen Yan remembered.

It seemed that tonight the two had been discussing Lu Man, and halfway through the conversation, Yu Qiao Qiao had been called away to work by Phoenix, so the discussion never reached a clear conclusion.

He looked towards Yu Qiao Qiao and said, "Oh, that. Tell me."

Even though Yu Qiao Qiao had brought it up first, when Chen Yan asked her to speak, Yu Qiao Qiao seemed even more troubled.

She hesitated for a moment, the dim streetlight casting her shadow small and compact, and as she walked away, it slowly stretched out again.

After going through this process of "shrinking" and "stretching" twice, she finally mustered enough resolve, "Chen Yan, actually... I think what you said to Sister Man Man at noon was... not good."

Chen Yan looked at her curiously, "Not good?"

Yu Qiao Qiao hummed softly, explaining, "Actually, when a girl comes to you with an issue, her goal isn’t necessarily for you to help her solve the problem, or to give advice."

Chen Yan was puzzled, "Then what is it for?"

Yu Qiao Qiao said, "It’s for venting."

Chen Yan: ??

Seeing Chen Yan completely baffled, Yu Qiao Qiao couldn’t help but smile a little. Maybe encountering something Chen Yan didn’t understand for the second time strangely amused her...

She playfully cocked her head and looked at him, "Surprising, isn’t it?"

Chen Yan nodded seriously, "I really didn’t expect that."

After saying this, he asked with confusion, "But... what’s the use of venting to me?"

Probably because the conversation had already reached this point, Yu Qiao Qiao let it all out, "Of course, it’s useful."

"Venting out emotions makes one feel better!"

"And if the person listening joins in to curse those bad people, it feels even better!"

Chen Yan: ????

"Cursing people won’t solve anything."

Yu Qiao Qiao’s laughter grew even brighter, her eyes curving into lovely crescents, "Chen Yan, you’re so cute."

Chen Yan looked at Yu Qiao Qiao strangely.

Me, cute?

Where did that come from?

Weird...

Yu Qiao Qiao made her final summary, "Anyway, just remember, if a girl comes to you to complain, just listen, and join in cursing. That’s all you need to do."

"Don’t try to console her or analyze the situation for her, because all she needs is your support, to stand with her."

Chen Yan: ....

Girls really are puzzling creatures...

And even more puzzling, Chen Yan thought, was Yu Qiao Qiao.

He looked at Yu Qiao Qiao and asked, "But... why are you teaching me this?"

Yu Qiao Qiao got flustered for a moment, then stuttered, "I, I wanted to remind you with Sister Man Man’s situation. Li-Like, if I encounter the same problem in the future. You have to do the same for me, okay?"

Chen Yan was no fool.

He could see right through Yu Qiao Qiao’s insincerity.

This girl was getting less "simple" by the minute. Previously, he could see right through her, everything plain and straightforward. But since the affinity level had broken through 100, things seemed to have become more complicated.

Luckily... he had a new special item.

He could check on what this little lady was really thinking...

Thinking this, Chen Yan’s heart moved, and he activated the [Innermost Headphones].

Once the Innermost Headphones were activated, Chen Yan felt as though the world had changed.

He was quite sure he was still walking on the street with Yu Qiao Qiao. The sound of cicadas, birds, and the hubbub of traffic were clear, but... all those noises seemed to be far away from him.

Like there was a thin film between him and the rest of the world.

Inside this membrane, what Chen Yan heard was a thumping heartbeat, slow and steady.

Chen Yan looked around with confusion.

Then what?

Where were these inner voices?

Just as he was questioning this, his gaze inadvertently fell on Yu Qiao Qiao.

Suddenly, a sweet, cutesy voice echoed in his ears,

"Oh my gosh. Why am I teaching Chen Yan all this?"

"Isn’t this the same as teaching him how to chase other girls, or how to make other girls like him?!"

"What am I doing..."

"But... Sister Man Man is really pitiful."

"She was just rejected by that bad director at noon, and then in the afternoon, she was unsuccessful with several other projects too."

"And all Chen Yan did was to give her a rational assessment, even seemingly indifferent."

"Which has made Sister Man Man stay upset, distressed, and in low spirits."

"Although... well... what Chen Yan said is quite right. But what Sister Man Man needs now is the support from him as her boss, not a rational analysis."

"But still. Now that I’ve taught Chen Yan these things, if he treats Sister Man Man this way and she falls for Chen Yan, what then?"

"Ah, it’s so annoying..."

For a moment, all these voices slowly faded away. Chen Yan only felt a buzz in his ears, as the sounds of cicadas, birds, traffic gradually returned to his world.

And with those sounds, came Yu Qiao Qiao’s voice, "Chen Yan? Chen Yan? Are you okay?"

"Ah?" Chen Yan came back to his senses, only to see Yu Qiao Qiao looking at him with a bit of worry.

Chen Yan asked, "What happened to me just now?"

Yu Qiao Qiao blinked her large eyes, saying, "You just suddenly zoned out while looking at me. I have no idea what it was."

Chen Yan recollected. He must have been too "captivated" by listening to Yu Qiao Qiao’s inner voice, so he neglected his "facial expression management."

He hadn’t expected...

Boss Qiao Qiao, who wasn’t much of a talker and was always shy, had dared to be so talkative in her heart?

And to have internal "conversations" at that?

Just like two little people fighting and arguing inside.

Incredibly... fascinating! ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

Thinking this, Chen Yan looked at Yu Qiao Qiao and said with a smile, "Maybe because you’re too cute. That’s why I got lost staring at you."

Suddenly faced with such an intimate "confession" from the one she liked, Yu Qiao Qiao was taken aback and her cheeks immediately bloomed with a touch of pink, as she looked down, too embarrassed to speak.

Seeing Yu Qiao Qiao’s bashful demeanor, Chen Yan really wanted to use today’s second chance on her. To listen to what was on her mind now.

But remembering what Yu Qiao Qiao had "said internally" about Lu Man being rejected by several production teams, and feeling hurt by him, wallowing in frustration,

Chen Yan couldn’t help feeling that perhaps he should save this opportunity for Lu Man.

After all, both professionally and personally, he ought to find out more about the situation, hear her thoughts.

Anyway, with her goofy personality, she would surely say something insincere.

He had always been curious about what was really going on inside the head of that goofball.

Probably... it would be very interesting, right?

Especially since... the [Posture] options he had seen with her that day were extremely interesting...

Truly beyond expectation...
