On the Lethality of a White Moonlight

Zhu Yu had a beautiful dream last night and drove to work early in the morning in high spirits.

He smiled and waved happily at his coworkers in front of him.

"Morning, everyone~"

"Good morning, Assistant Zhu!"

"Morning!"

"Good morningᜊ•ᴗ•ᜊ "

Zhu Yu glanced around and suddenly noticed an empty seat. After thinking for a moment, he realized it was Annie's seat.

Oh, right. Annie had taken leave today because of something at home.

Perhaps all the unlucky things had happened yesterday, because Zhu Yu had an exceptionally pleasant day today.

He got off work right on time at six in the afternoon.

For the first time, Zhu Yu skipped out through the company doors with his work bag in hand.

As he walked out, Zhu Yu was still thinking that he had somehow gone the entire day without running into anything bizarre or stupid. It almost felt strange.

The facts proved that some things simply could not be mentioned.

Zhu Yu looked at the two people sitting and standing beside the flower bed outside the company entrance.

"Assistant Zhu!" The moment Su Duoduo spotted Zhu Yu, she hurriedly lowered the leg with its pant cuff rolled up.

Because she moved too quickly—and because her foot had been resting on Shen Jingyan's knee—Shen Jingyan lost his balance and fell backward onto the ground.

Now Zhu Yu could no longer pretend not to see them. He could only step forward and look at Su Duoduo's injured knee.

"What happened? You're hurt?"

"It's nothing, Assistant Zhu. I just accidentally fell off the bike..." Su Duoduo waved her hand, but before she could finish, an irritating voice cut in.

"How is it nothing? You're bleeding! And that bike is so tall. If anything happens to you, I'll have this bike scrapped immediately." Shen Jingyan pointed angrily at the pink bicycle beside them.

...A flock of crows flew by...

Zhu Yu stared blankly at the pink bicycle beside them, its seat adjusted absurdly high. What sins had this bike committed to end up with these two lunatics?

"Has it occurred to either of you that the seat can be adjusted? Why were you riding it that high?"

Zhu Yu silently walked over to the bike, intending to clear its name, and reached out to adjust the seat height.

Su Duoduo and Shen Jingyan awkwardly looked at the visibly smaller bike, exchanged glances, then lowered their heads in embarrassment.

"That doesn't prove anything, does it? Duoduo is still hurt." Unable to bear Zhu Yu's disdainful gaze, Shen Jingyan raised his head again and spoke dismissively.

"She's hurt? Should she go to the hospital?" Zhu Yu carefully examined Su Duoduo's knee.

There were only a few tiny scrapes in the middle of her small knee, with a couple drops of blood seeping out.

"Big bro, big sis, are you two kidding me? With an injury like this, it'll probably heal if you wait any longer!"

"It's just two drops of blood. Do you seriously think she'll die from blood loss without them? Don't waste public resources."

The two of them had exhausted Zhu Yu. No wonder nothing had happened all day—it had been waiting for him here.

Heavens, can't you show me some mercy for once and let me stay away from this stupidity for a while? I don't even want to hang out with them.

I'm afraid I'll just get stupider and stupider if I keep spending time with them. What am I supposed to do?

"I'm sorry, Young Master Shen, Assistant Zhu. I've held up both of you." Su Duoduo pressed her lips together. As she spoke, tears suddenly flowed from her eyes, but she stubbornly raised a hand and wiped them away.

"Duoduo, don't cry. Assistant Zhu, aren't your words too harsh? At least comfort Duoduo first." Shen Jingyan looked at Zhu Yu indignantly.

Zhu Yu shook his head at the fool before him. Maybe Shen Jingyan had inherited every stupid gene in the Shen Household. Otherwise, how could he be stupid in such an "adorable" way?

"Young Master, I'm fine. Don't argue with Assistant Zhu." Still crying, Su Duoduo reached out and tugged lightly at the corner of Shen Jingyan's clothes.

Zhu Yu had no intention of wronging himself. He directly smacked the back of Shen Jingyan's head.

"Comfort my ass. It's such a minor injury that she doesn't even need a shot, and you want me to comfort her? What, did I make her fall? Did I make her get hurt?"

"If you actually called a doctor, they'd probably want to stab you both with the syringe they brought. Wasting time, wasting energy, wasting money."

"I, I..." Shen Jingyan was stunned by the slap.

"What do you mean, 'I'? It's nothing. Hurry up and go home. You're blocking the company entrance, and just looking at you is annoying." Zhu Yu had just turned to head for the parking lot when a black luxury car stopped across from the flower bed.

Zhu Yu, Shen Jingyan, and Su Duoduo all looked over curiously.

The driver got out, then respectfully opened the rear door.

"We're here, Miss."

"Thank you, Uncle Liu." A familiar voice came from inside the car.

Annie extended a leg clad in a white long boot from the car and slowly stepped out.

Annie's outfit today was completely different from her usual office attire. She wore a white Chanel-style jacket on top and an ivory A-line skirt below.

Her shoulder-length curls bounced with each step, and under the light, Annie seemed to glow with a luminous whiteness.

Zhu Yu could not help widening his eyes. He finally understood what readers had meant when they spoke of a white moonlight's devastating power, and why the male lead was somewhat incapable of appreciating what he had.

Annie truly had the gentle aura of a wealthy young lady—neither overbearing nor easy to overlook.

Annie walked up to the three of them and could not help laughing when she saw Zhu Yu staring blankly.

"Assistant Zhu, it's only been one day. Have you already forgotten who I am?"

"How could that be? You just look so beautiful today that I didn't dare recognize you at first." Zhu Yu was very clear that he liked dominant tops; the way he looked at Annie was purely appreciative.

"Thank you." Annie smiled and tilted her head.

Su Duoduo could not help edging away as she looked at the radiant Annie.

As though he knew why Annie had come, Shen Jingyan stood up with pride again. "Did you bring me another invitation to your birthday party? I told you not to give me special treatment. I find this kind of thing annoying."

The moment Annie heard that, her smile faded. "Don't worry. From now on, the word 'special' will no longer apply to you where I'm concerned."

"I won't be as stupid as I was before, liking a useless piece of trash who has no ability, yet is arrogant, self-important, and full of himself."

"And I'm not here for you today. I came for Assistant Zhu. As the person who helped me see my path, I'm very grateful that he let me see through a stupid fool like you. Maybe you used up all your intelligence in childhood."

After saying that, Annie smiled at Zhu Yu. "Assistant Zhu, I wrote this birthday invitation myself. I hope you can come to my birthday party this Wednesday."

"Of course. Thank you for inviting me."

Zhu Yu accepted it happily.

"Assistant Zhu, would you like me to give you a ride? That fool is quite difficult to deal with." After seeing him accept the invitation, Annie pointed at the car across the way.

"No need. My car is in the parking lot, and I'll be heading home soon. Drive safely on your way back."

"Okay, then. See you Wednesday."

"See you Wednesday."

After saying that, Annie returned to the car without looking back. Only after confirming that she was inside did the driver start the car and drive away.
