After my divorce, I became a Tokyo literary giant

Chapter 45: Senior Sister is showing signs of giving away for free

At ten o'clock in the morning, in Aoba's editorial office, Yukiho Yonekura finished an hour of overtime.

She didn't leave, but continued to look at the computer, her fingertips never leaving the keyboard.

Several other editors in the editorial department who were working overtime were secretly observing her.

As a new colleague, in the first half month after joining the company, she gave people the impression of being very calm and rigorous.

No matter what she wears, she is very solemn and appropriate, and her makeup is also meticulous.

She came to work overtime today, but she was not dressed as formally as usual. Instead, she wore a casual beige shirt and a black long skirt. Her makeup was obviously more attentive, and the color of her lipstick was brighter, which made her look less formal and more mature and sexy.

She has always had a very cold aura, giving people the feeling that no one can get close to her.

But today she feels very different.

In the sunlight by the window, she moved the mouse with her slender white palm, and her index finger casually tapped the mouse button.

It's very rhythmic, it doesn't feel like work, but rather like tapping out the beat.

He seems to be in a very good mood, with a faint smile on his face...

The icy beauty's mood suddenly brightened, and combined with her outfit, it looked like she was about to go on a date with her boyfriend...

My colleagues in the editorial department were full of thoughts about this.

No, no, how can a newly arrived editorial department girl have a boyfriend...

Some of the male colleagues were heartbroken by this, but someone finally plucked up the courage to come forward and extend an invitation.

"Editor Mikura, would you like to have a drink together after your overtime?"

There is a strong custom of after-get off work gatherings in the Japanese workplace. If no colleagues want to have a drink with you after get off work, it is likely that you have been isolated by your colleagues.

"Sorry, I don't drink." Yukiho Yonekura glanced at the man, then looked back at the screen.

The colleague left in frustration, and was then made fun of by a male colleague next to him.

"Everyone says she can't possibly be interested in you, so why are you rushing to embarrass yourself..."

"How do you know if you don't try?" The man who invited her was frustrated, but he didn't feel ashamed. "Love is something you have to fight for. If you just stay where you are, how can you expect it to work out?"

Yukiho Yonekura, who had just rejected him, felt a little touched when she heard these words.

Love cannot be found by just waiting...

She suddenly remembered that after the last visit to Fuji-Q Highland, her junior hadn't dated her again...

The second time I asked her out was to invite her to switch jobs and come to Qingye.

Today is the third time I've met her, and we're mainly talking about her new book.

It didn't deepen the relationship at all!

It seemed like when he asked me out that time, he was just looking for a woman to go out with because he was in a bad mood after his divorce. In fact, he had no such intentions towards me at all...

"Could it be that I am really being sentimental..."

Yonekura Yukiho frowned slightly, and suddenly felt self-pitying.

"Buzz."

Just when she was feeling a little upset, the phone on the table suddenly vibrated.

When the news came out, Yukiho Yonekura picked up her phone immediately.

It is a meaningless APP advertising notification.

"Ah~"

Yukiho Yonekura put down her phone a little disappointedly.

"Didn't you say you'd come at ten o'clock? Why haven't you sent me a message yet..."

Looking at the time, it was already 10:10, and the junior student had not sent the message yet. Yukiho Yonekura gradually began to feel a little irritated.

The main thing that bothers me is that I don’t know what attitude my junior has towards me…

At this time, people around her who were observing her noticed that her mood had worsened again.

Watanabe Nagase from the sales department happened to pass by and saw the situation. He immediately sent a message to Tazaki Saku to report the situation.

"Om~"

There's another notification on my phone.

Yukiho Yonekura turned her head and found that it was a notification from Line.

The person who sent the message was [Niyoumaobing].

The brows that had been slightly troubled immediately relaxed, and he quickly picked up his phone. [Niyoumaobing: Are you in a bad mood today?]

"Eh?"

Yukiho Yonekura was stunned and subconsciously turned her head to look around.

Was she in a bad mood so obvious that she was noticed?
Also, is my junior here too?

I turned around and looked around, but couldn't find him.

【Xueho: That’s not the case! 】

[Niyoumaobing: You've waited so long to reply. Maybe you're trying to see if I'm in the editorial office.]

"..."

Yukiho Yonekura felt a flush on her face and didn't know how to respond.

She was indeed in a bad mood just now because he hadn't asked her out for a while, which made her feel neglected.

And with her aloof personality, she was too embarrassed to take the initiative to invite...

[Clay Cat Disease: If you have anything on your mind, tell me about it.]

[Xueho: It's really nothing, I just have to work overtime and I'm a little tired! ]

Yukiho Yonekura made up a random excuse.

After all, she couldn't say that she was in a bad mood because he hadn't asked her out and she was a little annoyed by having to wait.

Help! For a woman who is 25 or 26 years old and has never been in a relationship, this is too embarrassing...

[Mud and oil cat disease: Is it really okay? ]

[Xueho: Of course, I'm in a good mood.]

[Cat Disease: I thought you were in a bad mood because I didn't ask you out all the time.]

Yonekura Yukiho: “…”

asshole!

Don’t be so blunt. How can I respond?
Staring at the Line chat box, Yukiho Yonekura's face felt hot with embarrassment. Although she appeared indifferent and calm on the surface, she was a mess inside.

Then...

For a long, long time, there was no message from the other side.

Yukiho Yonekura held the phone, her expression gradually stiffening.

No, that’s it?
You've teased me, and you have nothing else to say?
What's the situation now?
What on earth does this guy mean?

Staring at the chat box, Yonekura Xuehui's eyes gradually became resentful, and she muttered to herself irritably: "Men's hearts are really hard to guess..."

At this moment, the other party suddenly replied.

[Crappy Cat Disease: It says "the other person is typing" here, and it's been almost 5 minutes. Haven't you figured out how to reply yet?]

"..."

The corner of Yukiho Yonekura's eye twitched violently.

Only then did she realize that she had kept the input bar open, so it kept showing [The other party is typing...] on his side.

It's over. I seem to have become a silly woman now...

The image of an iceberg beauty or an intellectual senior schoolmate was completely ruined...

"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you that I've actually been here for a while." Tazaki Saku's voice sounded from behind.

"..."

Yukiho Yonekura covered her face instantly.

She felt that her face must be red right now, maybe even like a boiling teapot, with steam rising from her head...

Tazaki Saku stood there waiting for a while with an amused look on her face before she smoothed her hair over with her hands and regained her composure.

"Don't tease me like a child next time!" Yonekura Yukiho rolled her eyes at him, her cheeks a little red and her eyes a little angry.

Being swept by this gentle glance, Tazaki Saku felt very comfortable and smiled and invited: "Let's go on a date together, senior sister!"

This smile is very dazzling.

The irritability in Yonekura Yukiho's heart was swept away, and her heartbeat slightly accelerated.
