The next morning, Lin Yuhui arrived at the office as usual. Sitting at his desk, he suddenly heard the sound of a woman's high heels behind him. He turned around and saw it was Ceres. She was wearing mid-heeled sandals; the sound of the heels hitting the ground suggested they were of good quality. Lin Yuhui glanced at her but didn't think much of it and continued with his work.

A short while later, Ceres suddenly sat down at her desk and stomped her feet repeatedly, deliberately making a sound. Lin Yuhui turned to look at her and found her grinning at him, saying nothing. He wondered why she was stomping her feet like that to attract attention.

That's just how she is; she still occasionally chats with Saffir in the office about finding a partner, and sometimes brags about how she and Lu Hu were doing. Lin Yuhui didn't want to engage with her on these topics, nor did he want to talk to her. Dylan, on the other hand, always liked to flatter and fawn over her, but he was a married man who spent all his time fawning over young girls. Lin Yuhui disapproved and sometimes retorted sarcastically, "You still have time to leave now."

Stephanie was also married, and she would sometimes make sarcastic remarks about him, but Dylan didn't care. Thick-skinned people get what they want; thin-skinned people get nothing. This is what this era, which has abandoned modesty and virtue, is like.

For Lin Yuhui, the new IT girl in the upstairs office was his preferred type. He compiled the company's database functionality requirements, got her WeChat from Saffir, and sent it to her—a working-related contact. Lin Yuhui even volunteered to the boss to coordinate this work; he never got involved in troublesome situations, but this time he broke his principles and made an exception. The boss didn't agree.

Lin Yuhui harbored a deep-seated resentment. He wouldn't simultaneously enter into deep relationships with many people, nor would he start a new one before ending the previous one. Seres was the first person he encountered, or rather, the first vixen in his dreams. Lin Yuhui wanted to ascertain whether she cared about this encounter, but Seres had never explicitly stated her feelings. She enjoyed the attention from men, but seemed unwilling to sacrifice a whole forest for a single tree.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡei3strAEp0
Lin Yuhui wanted to push things forward. If she didn't respond, he would assume she wasn't serious, and he would have done his duty by moving forward, leaving no regrets.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJXNddFrR3
But how? Using his preferred method, Lin Yuhui created a series of comics and posted them on WeChat. He started with an image of Armstrong landing on the moon, accompanied by the caption, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for Seres."
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ6j0VwyoL
Then he photoshopped a picture of Seres on a shopping mall escalator into a flooded world, adding the caption, "Thank goodness for my high heels and long legs!" Then, he photoshopped a picture of her back into a scene where he was carrying her BMW, standing at the exit of a flooded tunnel, still with the line, "Thank goodness for my high heels and long legs." Next, he photoshopped a poster from the disaster movie "The Day After Tomorrow" onto the shoulder of the flooded Statue of Liberty. Finally, he photoshopped a picture of her showing off her long legs into a scene where she throws her high heels at Godzilla's head, still with the line, but in Lin Yuhui's mind, it was a subtle hint that she should stay away from those low-class, irresponsible men, like Dylan.

Finally, Lin Yuhui didn't forget to mourn the flood victims, then dragged his boss and his wife into the gossip. The post on his WeChat Moments had a significant effect, because when he tried to discuss the company's database technology requirements with the IT girl upstairs, he was coldly rejected. Lin Yuhui didn't want to explain anything, although he had noticed that the girl had a male colleague who seemed to be pursuing her, often seen walking with her on the way to and from the cafeteria at lunchtime, but Lin Yuhui knew very well that she wasn't satisfied and was keeping her distance. Even Lin Yuhui herself thought the man wasn't good enough for her. He seemed foolish and dull, completely unworthy of the girl's charm, let alone anything else.

Sometimes no response is a response. Seres had been behaving the same way for days, from Monday to Friday. Lin Yuhui even considered confessing his feelings and asking her attitude, but when he finally mustered the courage to confess on Friday morning, Seres arrived at the office wearing the same clothes as yesterday, and she smelled terrible—like someone had sneezed on her, a stench of a man. And she was incredibly tired, clearly having not slept all night.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtraUsDGB6
Lin Yuhui didn't want to say anything, just silently reminded her to change her clothes via WeChat, and then deleted all his WeChat posts. He wasn't used to posting on WeChat Moments anyway; all he had were those two themed posts.

Lin Yuhui began to distance himself from Seres, no longer engaging in her conversations, no longer caring about her affairs, and even deliberately avoiding her gaze. To isolate Seras from his world, even the naive Lyra noticed the trend and whispered to Stephanie,

"Look, David doesn't look at Seras anymore."
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCAFtYiQdh
"Out of sight, out of mind," Stephanie knew perfectly well what was happening right under her nose.

In the days that followed, Lin Yuhui avoided everything about her. He wouldn't look at her in the hallway, he wouldn't look at her no matter who arrived first each morning, and when Sapphire and Seras sat near Lin Yuhui's usual spot in the cafeteria at lunchtime, he would deliberately move to another place.
76Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPKvw30vCS
In the office, Lin Yuhui only had work to do and ignored everything else. Even at project meetings held in the boss's office, he would sit far away, as if he were invisible. As for Harper and Seras's little antics, what did they have to do with him? They were just a bunch of bored, immature people, driven by hormones to do things they themselves didn't even understand. If kindergarten children did those things, it could be considered innocent and pure, but for young men and women in their twenties to do them, besides being indecent, I really don't know what other word to use to define it.

One day, for some reason, Lyra stood there, seemingly speaking to Lin Yuhui,

"Actually, Seres left a long time ago." Based on their previous conversation, Lin Yuhui knew she was referring to Seres going to a male colleague's house, either for a blind date or as a guest. But what was the point of Lyra saying this? In Lin Yuhui's view, Seres could go to anyone's house, but she refused to come to her own office on weekends. She enjoyed the compliments from the men around her, but had no intention of focusing on a relationship with him. According to Lin Yuhui's values and life principles, such a woman had absolutely no possibility of becoming his partner.
