Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 122 - 95: She Doesn’t Want to Pursue You

[What girl? What are you talking about?]

[Are you saying that the person pursuing you is also a girl? Please tell me I’m hearing this wrong.]

Seeing Yang Yutong nod affirmatively.

[I feel like I can’t understand this world anymore. Do young people all like this nowadays?]

[Probably not... At least I’m not like that.] 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

[My soul of the Eight Diagrams is completely ignited. Could you tell us how she confessed to you?]

However, Yang Yutong unexpectedly shook her head.

"She didn’t confess to me."

[Didn’t confess, then how did you think she likes you???]

Yang Yutong looked at the screen confidently, seemingly wanting more people to believe her.

"I felt it."

[...]

[I advise you not to have that feeling. The last person who thought she was being pursued ended up as a big joke. Turns out the other person just wanted to sell her weight loss pills because she feared she was getting too skinny.]

But Yang Yutong continued to shake her head seriously.

"I watched that live stream."

"But my situation with her is really different."

[Then tell us about your situation.]

Yang Yutong first glanced at Mu Yunchu, confirming he had no intention of stopping her before slowly speaking.

"Actually, we work for the same company."

[Office romance, how thrilling.]

Yang Yutong curled her lips, looking somewhat speechless.

"I’ve been working at this company since I graduated from university. As the anchor said before, it’s the type of work I like, and the salary is good, so I’ve been sticking with it."

"This summer, the company hired a new girl."

[Is it the one you said likes you?]

"Yes."

The girl wasn’t very young, looking about the same age as her. And before this happened, Yang Yutong always thought she was a ’straight girl.’

"Although we’re not exactly in the same department, our work occasionally overlaps, so we quickly added each other on WeChat but usually only communicated for work purposes, no personal interaction."

But one day, her team leader didn’t come, leaving her with urgent work. With no one else to ask, she turned to Yang Yutong.

"I thought it wasn’t difficult, since I’ve been at the company for a while and have a good understanding of almost every position’s work."

"So I taught her how to do it."

"Then the next day she brought me breakfast."

[You shouldn’t do this, working more also means handling more responsibilities, next time she’ll come to you again.]

[Did you sense she was interested in you from the breakfast?]

"Of course not." Yang Yutong refuted, somewhat agitated. "I’m not that narcissistic!"

She knew the online friends didn’t believe her.

So after repeatedly being rebutted, she was a bit upset.

But after expressing her thoughts, she realized that her state wasn’t quite right, and she took a deep breath to calm down.

"As some of you just mentioned, after she came to me that one time, even when her team leader returned, she would secretly ask me how to do certain work."

[Ah? From here, I can feel something’s off. Why didn’t she ask her leader?]

"I asked her, she said her leader doesn’t teach things thoroughly and isn’t easy to talk to."

"She also said if she bothers me, she’d rather choose to be scolded..."

After saying that, she could only continue helping.

Fortunately, the tasks she asked about weren’t too troublesome.

[Wow, don’t you smell a bit of insincerity?]

[I didn’t believe you earlier, but seeing how insincere she is, I’m starting to believe you.]

[Ah? You all believe it? No wonder I’m single from birth, if it were me, I’d definitely think she wants to set me up for some trouble.]

"Maybe it’s because we’re about the same age."

Of course, Yang Yutong also knew the leader she mentioned indeed wasn’t easy to deal with.

So she initially didn’t doubt it.

Especially since the other person often bought her snacks like milk tea.

She didn’t have the heart to refuse.

After all, there’s a Chinese saying about feeling obligated when you accept gifts.

[So how did you realize she might be interested in you?]

Yang Yutong pursed her lips, pondering briefly.

Her expression suggested it was hard to put into words.

"Because she always wanted to invite me to meals."

[??? Just that?]

[Maybe she just wanted to thank you?]

[Feels like there’s another reason. Let’s let her finish her story.]

Yang Yutong said, "I initially thought the same."

Because she had sent milk and snacks before, she thought it was merely the other person’s way of expressing gratitude.

But later, as they became more familiar, Yang Yutong once mentioned no need for such gestures to express thanks.

Rather, it seemed too formal.

"After hearing that, she did stop sending breakfast, but started frequently inviting me to meals instead."

[On days off?]

"Yes." Yang Yutong nodded at the screen.

[Such annoying colleagues without boundaries.]

[What’s the problem? Colleagues asking you for a meal on your day off isn’t a big deal.]

[You don’t get it, you’re evidently young with little work experience. In workplaces, no matter how good the relationships are, don’t bring it into real life. Once you leave the job, you’re just strangers.]

[To be honest, being invited on a day off is even more annoying. Seeing colleagues reminds me of the hated boss and work. On holidays, all I want is to forget everything and completely unwind.]

[I agree.]

Yang Yutong vigorously nodded in agreement.

That’s exactly what she thought.

Working hours are tolerable, but days off are sacred and not to be disturbed.

"After I politely declined her invitations initially, she stopped asking directly."

"Instead, she often sent me photos of delicious dishes from the restaurant."

Yang Yutong wished she could show them her phone’s chat records. But unfortunately, the Whale platform doesn’t have that feature.

She could only recount.

"For example, last Friday night, she sent me a picture of a bowl of lamb soup. Captioned, ’it’s really delicious, the aroma hits you as soon as you enter the shop.’"

"Also last Wednesday, the same restaurant; she said the lamb tripe meat was exceptionally authentic, said she wanted to bring me to try it."

...

"Until last night, things were unusual. She gave up inviting me over the weekend, instead saying she wanted to take me there at noon today no matter what."

Scared her so much she pretended to be sick to take a leave.

She didn’t dare go to the office at all.

Considering how this person often found ways to get close and was inexplicably good to her, Yang Yutong thought perhaps she really liked her.

After all, she had some knowledge from reading novels about this topic.

[It does sound a bit... odd, but still feels somewhat strange.]

[I think... maybe you should just tell her you like men, or say you have a boyfriend.]

Yang Yutong contemplated for a moment.

"Will it be awkward when we meet afterwards?"

However, at this moment, Mu Yunchu, who had remained silent, suddenly spoke.

"She’s not trying to pursue you."
