The WeChat group called “No Boss, No Problem” has been silent for quite some time since the incident involving Zhou Lanyue’s scandalous photos. Today, the group administrator suddenly noticed that “Mushroom Head Little Brother” had quietly left the group and found it strange, so he went to the group to ask about it.
[Production Team] Lan Feng: Why did Wenhao suddenly leave the group? @Wuluo Fei
【Production Team】Lan Feng: Come on! You’re the supervisor of the Visual Effects Team. How could you not know why your team member resigned?
【Visual Effects Team】Wu Luo Fei: I don’t know! I’m not allowed to ask! [Upset.jpg] Hua Hua said that Li Zong doesn’t want us to ask.
【Production Team】Lan Feng: @Liu Hua Hua 520, you must know the inside story. Tell us!
【Administration】Liu Hua Hua 520: [Terrified.jpg] I really don’t know! When I was processing Wen Hao’s resignation, I asked Mr. Li what reason to write, and he told me to write “personal reasons.” He also instructed me not to discuss this matter within the company. The boss has spoken—don’t ask, just don’t ask. [Headbutt.jpg]
【Administration】Liu Huahua520: But speaking of which, should we add Xu Yang to the group? He’s been on the job for days now.
【Production Team】Xiao Xiannv: Yes, yes, yes! Add him! I want to flirt with him [heart.jpg]
【Production Team】Lan Feng: @Xiao Xian Ni, are you a love-struck fool? [Do you think I want to deal with you? .jpg]
【Production Team】Xiao Xian Ni: Hey, hey, hey! When he first started working here, I didn’t know who was in the group, and everyone kept saying how handsome, good-looking, and cute he was! Why does wanting to flirt with him make me a love-struck fool?
【Visual Effects Team】Yichin: But I saw him hanging out with Mr. Li and Mr. Bi, and he just went out to dinner with the two bosses. Is he hard to get along with? He rarely hangs out with us either.
【Sound Team】Seven Hundred Years Later: [Raising Hand.jpg] I’m speaking up for him! He’s a great person. He doesn’t interact much with you guys because we’re in different teams. You know, our offices aren’t in the same area, so it’s normal for communication to be limited!
【Visual Team】Yichin: But why is he so close to the bosses?
【Production Team】Lanfeng: You guys are so nosy. What does it matter to you if he gets along well with the bosses?
【Production Team】Xiaoxianyu: Huh? You act like you’re not nosy, but didn’t someone just come to my desk and ask me, “Who is the boss going to date?”
【Sound Team】Seven Hundred Years Later: Who?!!!! Who wants to date the boss?!!
【Visual Team】Wu Luo Fei: I didn’t hear that? The boss is going to date someone? Who is it? @Xiao Xian Ni
【Production Team】Xiao Xian Ni: I don’t know! Don’t all come ask me! I’m not the one who heard the boss talking. Go ask Lan Feng! [Crazy.jpg]
When the topic of Bi Yuan wanting to date came up, the entire group exploded with excitement, chattering nonstop. Little did they know that the person they were so enthusiastically discussing, the one who was supposed to be “dating,” was actually struggling with how to go about it.
In the afternoon, Xu Yang suddenly showed up at the company, saying he didn’t expect the copyright fees for the work to come in so quickly and wanted to thank them, so he specially came to treat them to a meal. During this time, Bi Yuan kept sending messages to Li Mu, asking him how to date, but Li Mu not only didn’t tell him, he also gave him a seemingly impatient reply: “Why think so much? Just go with the flow!”
Bi Yuan impatiently asked, “What the hell does ‘go with the flow’ mean? ‘Go with the flow’ is just another way of saying ‘don’t bother!’”
Li Mu replied, “You’re getting along fine with Xu Yang now, so why are you in such a hurry? Isn’t it better to go with the flow? Xu Yang doesn’t reject you, and you still kiss and hug each other, just like a couple. Why are you in such a hurry?”
Knowing that this matter couldn’t be explained to Li Mu, Bi Yuan finally gave up on bothering him and angrily opened his browser to seek help from netizens, even posting like a student, “How do I pursue someone I like? How do I date? Online now, urgent!”
Xu Yang, sitting beside him, noticed that Bi Yuan was constantly tapping on his phone and hadn’t touched his food, which made him feel a bit uneasy. He hurriedly asked, “Is the food not to your liking? Would you like to order something else?” But Bi Yuan, lost in his own emotions, didn’t even look up and simply said, “It’s fine! I’m just sending a message.”
After dinner, Xu Yang still blamed himself for not asking in advance if the two had time that evening before suggesting going out to eat, worried that it might interfere with Bi Yuan’s work. He wanted to say he could take the bus home, but Bi Yuan pulled him to a nearby park.
“I know there’s a popular park nearby that has a light show at night. Let’s go together; maybe it’ll give you some inspiration for your music.” Bi Yuan remembered that Xu Yang had said he didn’t want to work full-time at the studio because the children at school gave him creative inspiration. Since Li Mu wasn’t willing to help him pursue Xu Yang, he’d have to do it himself!
The small lake in the park was filled with couples whispering to each other. Some wore glowing headbands, while others held sparkling crystal balloons. During the day, the lake was calm and serene, but at night, it was filled with a romantic atmosphere.
Bi Yuan pulled Xu Yang to stand on the arched bridge over the lake, watching the stylishly dressed young men and women by the lake flirting with each other. Suddenly, they heard the young men and women by the lake scream in surprise. The two looked up and saw the Ferris wheel in the distance lit up with ring after ring of colorful lights, red and blue.
Looking at the newly illuminated park scenery, Bi Yuan suddenly felt a pang of nostalgia. “When I was a child, I saw a Ferris wheel in my sisters’ picture books. It was huge and colorful. Even though it was just a book, it felt like it was twinkling and glowing. Back then, I really wanted to go to an amusement park and see a real Ferris wheel…”
Recalling his lonely childhood, Bi Yuan grew sentimental. “My mother passed away when I was very young. Although I had two older sisters, they were much older than me, and by the time I was young, they had already gone to school elsewhere. I basically grew up on my own.”
After finishing his story, Bi Yuan turned to look at Xu Yang, who was also staring at him. His eyes were filled with astonishment, but in the night’s darkness, they shone brightly, like the glowing crystal balloons held by those young girls.
Bi Yuan suddenly mentioning his childhood and upbringing left Xu Yang deeply surprised. He had never dared to imagine that Mr. Bi would be willing to share such personal details with him—in Xu Yang’s subconscious, wealthy families were mysterious and wouldn’t easily reveal such things to outsiders.
But what surprised him even more was: “The things you’re telling me about yourself feel very familiar…” Xu Yang felt like he had heard such a story somewhere before. He said, “I once had a dream where I saw a little lamb whose mother had also passed away at a young age…”
Seeing Xu Yang struggling to recall, Bi Yuan chuckled. This wasn’t a dream at all; it was clearly the story he had just told him not long ago. But the man had been half-asleep at the time, so he probably mistook the story for a dream.
