Attitude

It was now mid-August.

Two weeks had passed since Chu Yu had tried all sorts of well-meaning advice, and he'd thought an office Shuraba would break out at his company.

Maybe Zhao Qinyin and Su Ruo would confess to Huang Ming one after the other, only to be rejected...

Or the two best friends would act out a love-triangle Shuraba straight out of a TV drama, swearing never to speak to each other again. Or perhaps they'd play out a tearjerker Korean drama, each sister learning how the other felt and giving way to her—only for Huang Ming to announce that he was marrying Minamoto Shizuka... The two girls would reflect on their mistakes, resolve their differences, and start new lives...

He had to admit, when it came to other people's Romance Plots, Chu Yu's imagination ran wild. It was only his own love life where it failed him.

He'd even bought them gifts: two rather expensive jade necklaces. He'd searched online and found people saying that giving girls gifts and taking them shopping at times like these could go a long way toward easing the pain of heartbreak...

But... nothing Chu Yu had imagined actually happened.

Neither Zhao Qinyin nor Su Ruo acted at all unusually. Instead, Huang Ming kept giving him strange looks all day.

And Zhao Qinyin and Su Ruo seemed to be treating him differently, too... How should he put it?

Chu Yu felt like they'd grown a little closer. At least, before, when Zhao Qinyin brought him coffee, she'd always set it down on his desk to avoid suspicion and keep their fingers from touching. Now she simply handed it to him.

As for Su Ruo... she'd started coming to his office all the time, whether she had a reason or not, to drink tea
