"System is it just me....or are we seeing him almost everyday.."

FeiNan stared blankly at the distance, seeing the bubbly GuangHao waving his hand frantically across the street. As he mentally sighed to the system, he watched as the other jogs towards him once the green man lit.

"What a coincidence!!"

He smiled brightly whilst sweeping his messy bangs to the back, exposing a carefully crafted face from the gods.

This has been the 4th 'coincidence' of the week...

Rolling his eyes at the other, he waited for him to tidy himself up.

"So FeiNan, there's this acclaimed café nearby, why don't we go?"

"And if I say no?"

FeiNan sarcastically replied, not expecting an answer, but got one in the form of whining.

Wheedling his voice like a young child, GuangHao perfectly imitated a spoilt brat, with his puppy eyes and pouting mouth.

"Eeh, FeiNan don't be like that...aren't we friends?"

His long lashes casted a shadow over his face as one could almost see tears forming at the corners of the eyes. Mouth quivering ever so slightly, pedestrians walking past cannot help but take an extra glance at his walking puppy-like person.

This would have been cute to FeiNan....if he was a girl. But looking at GuangHao, who is atleast half a head taller, acting cute and disgustingly sweet, sent shivers down his spine.

"Alright! Alright..."

Exasperatedly choking out an affirmitive, GuangHao's face lit up brightly again as he whisked both of them away to the location.

This has been FeiNan's days over a good few weeks, every lunch GuangHao would have a one sided conversation with him, even so, they slowly warmed up to each other.

Honestly, with a tearful face and Protaganist Halo, FeiNan felt hard to not gather some good feelings towards the other. How GuangHao likes to stick close to him and fond over him, reminds him alot of JunQing.

Eating the nth meal with the other, FeiNan was oblivious to the nostalgic face he was making, eyes glazed and mind far away. He was obviously not listening to the conversation.

GuangHao has seen this look countless times on the other, his smile straighten out and his eyes darken. He silently observed FeiNan as a deep and dangerous aura quietly set over them.

He knew not to ask who FeiNan was thinking, he knew the other would brush it off or get hostile.

Honestly, this is very displeasing to him.

As the conversation died, FeiNan snapped out from his daze as he realized the deafening silence from the other, shoving a piece of meat in his mouth he asked,

"What were we talking about?"

GuangHao gave an empty laugh,

"Nothing much, let's eat."

He tore through his own meal, as if punishing it in his heart.

The system beeped twice, cheerfully saying,

"Host!! Although you have not been paying attention to the FL, the plot must not change, you must promote her to be your secaretry!!"

This comment sent FeiNan into disbelief,

"Don't you think this goes against the idea of meritocracy?"

He slid the stack of applications across the table, folders with the employee's information scattered all over, the one infront of him being NeiYuan's.

He looked at the achievements of hers compared to the rest, lest to say it was lack luster.

He slapped the papers with one hand emphasizing his anger.

Looked up to the desk, eyeing the quivering ball on the table, enunciating every word,

"Promote her?! In my original world I was sacked for making a minor mistake!"

The system silently stilled for a moment, before bursting out the water works from its mechanical body,

"Host!! I'm just a middle man...I'm just telling you what you should do....why am I getting scolded?!"

The sniffles and cries that are only to be heard by FeiNan, echoed throughout the room. Giving rise to a headache and annoyance.

Looking at the crying system and at NeiYuan's terrible report, he haphazardly stamped 'ACCEPTED' in big bold red ink, and wrote his singnature at the bottom.

Wringing this piece of paper, he brought it to the crying system, trying his best to coax it,

"See, look I did it, please stop crying..."

As he said that he waved it across the system's sensors, making thw sniffles stop and the crisis adverted.

He sat back down on his chair, swivelling to the window and looking out at the similar skyscrapers around him.

So the show must go on huh..

_________________________________

The next few days, FeiNan has not been eating lunch, not just without GuangHao, but generally.

Teaching the ropes to NeiYuan and balancing the small tasks the system gives, had tolled his body to the limit.

Shifting his glasses up, he scanned through the stack of paper mechanically, a skill he had picked up quite quickly in this world.

"Mr Peh! There's a guest!"

NeiYuan burst through the door, heaving, as she laid her hand to support herself.

FeiNan stared at her undulating chest that threatened to pop right out of her clothes.

How distasteful.

His face showed no emotions, but his head was indeed in the clouds. He did not even realise the guest NeiYuan was speaking about, had already entered the room.

GuangHao narrowed his eyes as he caught FeiNan not paying attention to his presence. He traced back to where FeiNan was looking at, and a slight tinge if anger seeped into his heart.

"FeiNan, we've not seen each other for so long, how's it been?"

He watched as FeiNan slowly took off his spectacle, obviously annoyed at his presence. But GuangHao was too busy taking in the sight of the serious beauty infront of him.

FeiNan massaged his head, the hammering only getting louder and louder.

"Why're you here, and how did you find me?"

He knew the answer in his heart, but still had to choke out these few words to seem surprised.

"Now, let's not worry about the small details, let's have a talk,"

He turned toward NeiYuan, a cold smile playing at the corner of his lips.

With a slightly flushed face, NeiYuan quickly nodded toward him and FeiNan, then rushing out the door, not a word said.

GuangHao slowly turned his head back to FeiNan who was now walking towards the couches at the side of the room, gesturing for GuangHao to do the same.

But before anybody could react, FeiNan wobbled on his heels, fatigue and stress finally overwhelming him. Sweat dripped down his forehead and into his eyes.

There was a ringing in his ears, he couod hear his name being called over and over again. The same tone and same urgency as before.

Through the stinging and blurry sight, he could see GuangHao rushing towards him and catching his body with a firm grip.

It's so familiar... but..

He slowly closed his eyes, pushing the other away with what little strength he has left in his body.

You are not JunQing..

That was his last thought before slipping into darkness.

On the other hand, GuangHao was stunned at the unconscious rejection he had just recieved. Gripping the carpet flooring tightly, anger and pain flashed across his face.

He slid out his phone and dialled a number,

"Hello, come to Peh Industries now."
