Who wants to be a male model after being reborn? I want to be a male god.

Chapter 369 I'm Afraid You'll Forget Me

After Gu Xingruo and Xia Ning left, Xu Wen found that his life had become much simpler.

He stays in the office every day and rarely goes anywhere else.

Although Meituan has temporarily withdrawn from the Jiangxi market, Shancheng’s national expansion plan requires more detailed preparation.

Gu Xingruo would occasionally video chat with him, and Xia Ning would occasionally send him travel emails.

This made Xu Wen feel as if he had two traveling frogs.

“Boom boom boom.

A quick knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.

"Come in." Xu Wen said without raising his head.

He thought it was Lan Qiusheng who came to deliver the report or that the technical department had new progress to report.

The door was pushed open, but there was no familiar reporting voice.

Xu Wen raised his head in confusion, and the scene in front of him stunned him for a moment.

Yang Yiyao stood at the door, holding a paper bag that exuded an enticing aroma, with a sly smile on her face.

She was wearing a white and blue JK uniform skirt today, a white shirt with a light blue bow tied at the collar, a pair of slender legs under the pleated skirt, and black leather shoes on her feet.

This outfit makes her look like a lively high school girl, not at all like a college graduate.

Of course, that is, if she ignored the thing in front of her that was about to burst out of her shirt.

"What? You don't welcome me?" Yang Yiyao tilted her head, her eyes curved into crescent shapes.

Xu Wen turned to the computer screen and replied while handling his work: "Of course you are welcome, but why are you here?"

"If you don't come again, I'm afraid you will forget about me." Yang Yiyao walked briskly into the office and closed the door.

She had a light citrus perfume on her body, which mixed with the aroma of roasted gluten to form a strange scent.

Xu Wen noticed that the paper bag in her hand was printed with the "Lao Zhang Grilled Gluten" logo.

It is the most popular store in the snack street of the university town, and there is always a long queue every time I go there.

He swallowed unconsciously. He had been too busy with work recently and hadn't eaten these street snacks for a long time.

Yang Yiyao seemed to see through his thoughts. She sat down on the chair next to him, took out a bunch of golden and shiny roasted gluten from a paper bag and handed it to him: "I brought it especially for you."

Xu Wen took the roasted gluten, took a bite, and was very satisfied with the crispy outside and tender inside.

Because of his busy work, he hasn't eaten at Linxiao Snack Street for a long time.

He thought of the days he spent with Xia Ning.

At that time, he was not too busy at work and his workplace was at school. The two of them ate at school every day, and Xia Ning always bought food for him.

"It's still the same taste. How did you know I wanted to eat this?" Xu Wen asked with emotion.

"Guessed it." Yang Yiyao shook his head proudly.

Of course she wouldn't say that she had accidentally observed it a long time ago, observing his and Xia Ning's daily life.

This makes her look like a pervert.

"That's easy to guess. There's no one in our university who doesn't like to eat." Xu Wen complained casually.

He found a good excuse for her.

Yang Yiyao also took out a string of roasted gluten and replied, "You are boring now."

Xu Wen did not continue the topic, but pretended to be an elder and deliberately teased: "You just graduated this year, and you are a fresh graduate. You didn't go out to find a job, so how do you have time to come to me?"

Of course Yang Yiyao doesn't need to go out to find a job.

She is currently running a software testing business and also owns a Taobao store selling JK and Lolita products.

I have already achieved financial freedom.

Yang Yiyao curled her lips and said, "Boss Xu, do you dislike me for being idle?"

She deliberately emphasized the words "Mr. Xu".

"How dare I? Senior Yang." Xu Wen smiled and shook his head, then took another bite of the roasted gluten.

Yang Yiyao stood up from her chair, looked around the office environment, and finally stopped beside the floor-to-ceiling window.

She hadn't been here since the last time Shancheng recruited people. She didn't expect that such a big change would happen here in such a short time.

Although she was not directly involved, she also heard about Shancheng and Meituan.

In comparison, the test appears to be much more stable.

It is small in size and has no competitors.

"Your office is tidier than I thought. I thought it would be full of documents and coffee cups," she exclaimed.

"I tidy it up every day." Xu Wen answered casually.

"I thought it was your 'girlfriends' who took turns to help you tidy up every day." Yang Yiyao joked.

When she said the word "girlfriends", she deliberately raised her eyebrows.

Xu Wen felt helpless.

He had no secrets from Yang Yiyao, and the other party also knew that he didn't want to give up Xia Ning.

But he still argued: "What's the 'girlfriends'? I only have one girlfriend now."

After hearing this, Yang Yiyao didn't say anything, but just looked at him quietly.

The silence at this moment is worth a thousand words.

Xu Wen waved his hand and changed the subject: "Let's talk business. What do you want to see me about today?"

Yang Yiyao sat back in her chair with a mysterious smile on her face: "It just so happened that Gu Xingruo and Xia Ning were not here, so of course I had to seize the opportunity to come and see you."

This sentence made Xu Wen stunned for a moment, and then he laughed: "How come you two are so well-informed? Have you installed a camera next to me?"

Yang Yiyao did not answer this question. She blinked and said with a smile, "Usually, you are always surrounded by either Gu Xingruo, Xia Ning, or that workaholic Lan Qiusheng. It's hard for me to even see you."

Xu Wen shook his head and decided not to beat around the bush with her: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Yang Yiyao then put away her joking expression and took out a tablet from her small bag: "Actually, it's for testing. Chinese Valentine's Day is coming in a few days. I have planned an event and I want to let the boss take a look before it goes online."

Xu Wen took the tablet and saw an activity page called "Zodiac Love Test" on the screen. It was beautifully designed with pink as the main color and dotted decorations, full of romance.

"Good idea." Xu Wen nodded.

After he finished speaking, he took out his phone and looked at the calendar, then said, "But isn't it a bit too late to do it now? Chinese Valentine's Day is just a few days away."

Yang Yiyao raised her chin proudly: "It has been completed a long time ago. The technical department has tested it. It will be online after your approval. I am here today just for the formality."

She deliberately stopped talking when she got to this point.

What else can I do?

Of course, I came to see Xu Wen.

He is such a scumbag. He would never go to her unless there was something wrong. He would only go to her when he encountered some difficulties.

In that case, she could only take the initiative to find him.

Xu Wen looked up at Yang Yiyao and found that the tips of her ears were slightly red, but her eyes did not avoid him.

The atmosphere in the office was a little subtle for a moment.

Xu Wen certainly knew why she came "by chance", but he pretended not to know. He cleared his throat and returned the tablet to her: "The activity is good, just follow your plan. If you need any resources, tell your master's wife, I will say hello."

"Thank you, Mr. Xu!" Yang Yiyao also pretended nothing had happened.

She even stood up and bowed, pretending to be the female college student who had just entered the workplace after graduating from college.

Xu Wen also noticed it, and he casually complained: "Stop pretending to be a rookie here, you old hand."

Yang Yiyao was not annoyed. She sat back in her chair and replied in a coquettish voice, "I just graduated this year. You can't be so strict with me."

Xu Wen laughed dryly a few times and said nothing.

After a moment of silence, he continued jokingly, "Are you still adapting after graduation? You can't be the chairman anymore, and you can't cosplay the relevant departments anymore."

Yang Yiyao knew Xu Wen was joking with her, but she still answered very seriously: "It's okay, I just miss my college days, especially the days when we were together."

Xu Wen glanced at her and was a little uncomfortable with her serious look.

He replied: "I understand. You can't have both youth and the understanding of youth at the same time."

At this point, both of them sighed in tacit understanding.

Xu Wen felt that he was lucky, at least he could experience his youth again.

Having said everything that needed to be said, Yang Yiyao knew that she should leave now, but she didn't want to leave yet.

But if you don't want to leave, there's no reason to stay.

She thought about it and had to use her best skills again: "How do you feel recently? Do you want me to tell fortunes for you?"

As soon as Yang Yiyao finished speaking, she realized that her words seemed a bit abrupt, so she emphasized, "I won't charge you any money. I'm a free fortune teller. Most people don't get this treatment."

"Okay, if you bring everything with you." Xu Wen stopped what he was doing.

These two simple words made Yang Yiyao stunned for a moment.

She thought she would be rejected, but she didn't expect Xu Wen to agree so easily.

You know, when she wanted to tell fortunes for Xu Wen before, she had to beg him for a long time before he agreed.

Yang Yiyao came back to her senses immediately.

She moved the chair to face Xu Wen and took out tarot cards and energy crystals from her bag.

"A good fortune teller must carry tarot cards with him! This is what I use for eating." Yang Yiyao was very proud.

"Is it convenient to cheat people?" Xu Wen teased.

Yang Yiyao cleared the desk and set up a simple venue.

She looked into Xu Wen's eyes and replied, "It's convenient to lie to you."

Xu Wen adjusted his chair and sat up straight: "Okay, let's see if you can trick me."

After arranging the venue, Yang Yiyao said softly: "Think of a question now. You can tell me, or you can keep it to yourself like last time, but you have to tell me what it is related to."

When the divination began, she quickly put away the smile on her face.

Every time this kind of account dies, she seems like a different person.

Xu Wen did not hide anything. He looked at the tarot cards in front of him and said two words calmly: "Future."

Yang Yiyao's slender fingers gently stroked across the table, arranging the tarot cards into a perfect arc.

"Have you thought about it? The scope of 'future' is too broad." She looked up at Xu Wen.

Xu Wen leaned back in his office chair, his eyes fixed on Yang Yiyao's face.

"That's it." He said lightly.

Yang Yiyao shrugged and didn't ask any more questions.

She shuffled the cards three times, her movements so skillful that it seemed like some kind of ritual.

The cards made crisp sounds in her hands, forming a wonderful harmony with the slight hum of the computer host in the office.

"Pick four, from left to right, using your intuition." She spread the cards out in a fan shape.

Xu Wen's eyes wandered across the cards.

The design on the back of these cards is a dark blue starry sky dotted with silver stars.

He reached out and selected four cards one by one.

Yang Yiyao moved the selected card to the center and gathered the rest of the cards aside.

She took a deep breath and lightly touched the first card with her fingertips.

"Hermit." She turned over the card, and the picture showed an old man in a gray cloak, holding a lantern and standing on the top of a snowy mountain.

The office suddenly became quiet.

"This card represents solitude. The hermit tries to give up external temptations and achieve inner peace, and then obtain the truth through meditation in a quiet environment." Yang Yiyao's voice became low and rhythmic.

She paused and observed Xu Wen's reaction.

Xu Wen's expression did not change and he still looked very calm.

"'The Hermit' is the embodiment of loneliness. He is wise and compassionate. He chooses loneliness not because he is cowardly. 'The Hermit' holds a bright lamp, lighting the way for those who are lost day after day." Yang Yiyao continued.

Xu Wen frowned slightly as he thought of the choices he had made since his rebirth.

Yang Yiyao's voice became softer: "This card suggests a road that needs to be traveled alone. Although the light source is weak, it can illuminate the answer in your heart. However, if you are too obsessed with 'why you were left behind', you may fall into an eternal fog."

She looked directly into Xu Wen's eyes: "Remember, loneliness is sometimes the price of choice, not a punishment from fate."

Xu Wen nodded slightly, not dwelling too much on the mysterious words Yang Yiyao had just said.

After so many times of divination, he has become accustomed to it.

His eyes moved to the second card that had not yet been turned over.

Yang Yiyao understood and turned over the second card.

"The sun." Her voice suddenly became bright.

On the card, a naked child rides on a white horse, with a shining sun above his head and sunflowers blooming around him.

"'The Sun' represents success and joy. It has the purest happiness and satisfaction, but it also has the ability to see through all the truth." Yang Yiyao explained.

"Neither failure nor success means the end. It's whether to keep moving forward or stop. 'The Sun' gives you a choice, and it's up to you to decide," Yang Yiyao continued.

She ran her fingers gently over the card. "The sun's rays melt all shadows, but they will also burn those who dare not look directly at it."

These words shocked Xu Wen's heart.

He remembered the corn and pork ribs soup that Gu Xingruo had cooked before she left, the book "The Disease is You" written by Xia Ning, and the hideous scar on Lan Qiusheng's left arm.

For some reason, these memories came to his mind.

"You will become each other's most dazzling source of energy, but the price is that the stories in the shadows will be forever silent." Yang Yiyao's voice carried a certain prophetic certainty.

She paused, letting the words settle in the air: "When you said 'we won', did you hear the sigh in the ashes?"

Yang Yiyao didn't give Xu Wen much time to think and directly turned over the third card.

"Reversed Lovers." Her voice was hesitant.

On the card, a pair of lovers stand below an angel, but because it is in reverse position, the whole picture appears upside down and chaotic.
