Will Lin Su Miss Him?

Will Lin Su Miss Him?

Lin Su slept until after two in the afternoon, finally waking from hunger. The soreness in his body seemed to have faded considerably. He made his way to the bathroom and found a brand-new set of toiletries by the sink, prepared by Gu Lin.

As he squeezed toothpaste onto his toothbrush, he thought that Gu Lin was probably the one who had brought him to the break room too. Warmth surged through his heart.

Lin Su froze as he put the toothbrush into his mouth. Was the person in the mirror... smiling?

The person in the mirror had brilliant light shimmering in his peach-blossom eyes, the corners of his lips lifted in a gentle smile, like a spring breeze brushing across his cheeks.

Lin Su's hand went completely stiff. When he finally came back to himself, his face flushed red as his arm moved mechanically.

After washing up, he did not dare look at the mirror even once. His cheeks felt scorching hot.

Lin Su gripped the doorknob and mentally prepared himself over and over before finally opening the door. Seeing the empty office, he still did not dare relax his tense body. He let out a soft breath and slowly walked toward his desk.

When he saw that soft cushion again, his cheeks reddened, and his peach-blossom eyes darted away in panic.

Lin Su's gaze shifted to the empty chair. Gu Lin was not there. He unconsciously pressed a hand to his restless heart. It was pounding so hard. He raised a hand to touch his cheek—it was so hot, it had to be red.

Forget the mirror—even the reflective computer screen was something he did not dare look at directly. What was going on?

Lin Su touched the back of his neck. It was not hot, and the suppressant patch had not fallen off. Then he sniffed himself. There was no scent either.

No, could it be that I...

Gu Lin paused mid-sentence outside, leaving the three people listening to his work instructions utterly bewildered.

How could they not be confused? Assistant Lin had gone in that morning and still had not come out by afternoon. Even Assistant Lin's own work was being assigned and checked by President Gu.

No matter how they thought about it, this did not seem simple.

"That's all. Send it to me before you get off work after revising it." With that, he turned and entered the office, leaving them staring at one another.

Xiao Jiang quietly opened the small group's chat again.

Assistant Office - Xiao Jiang: Does anyone get it? Today, President Gu was the one assigning our work.

Assistant Office - Xiao Jiang: I still prefer Special Assistant Lin. He's gentle and patient.

Planning Department - Xiao Liu: Wait, isn't Assistant Lin supposed to be your supervisor? Why is President Gu managing you too?

Finance Department - Xiao Cai: I recognize every word, so why does it all feel so unfamiliar when put together?!

Marketing Department - Xiao Long: 1!

Marketing Department - Xiao Gou: 100888.

Assistant Office - Xiao Zeng: Oh, it's nothing.

Assistant Office - Xiao Zeng: Assistant Lin and President Gu have been in the office all day without coming out.

That one sentence stirred the gossiping hearts of the remaining forty-seven people.

Planning Department - Old Chen: ...No wonder President Gu asked me to send the electronic version directly today. So that's how it is~

That practically confirmed it!!!

President Gu and Assistant Lin really were having an affair... Pah, they really had something going on.

The group chat was ablaze, especially Mu Xiaomu at the first-floor reception desk, whose eyes shone with excitement.

Gu Lin opened the door. Lin Su looked over at the sound, and upon seeing who it was, he clenched his hand tightly beneath the desk, his nails digging into his palm. The sharp pain steadied him.

"President Gu, leave the work to me." He supported himself against the desk and slowly approached Gu Lin, his expression gentle as he took the documents from Gu Lin's hands.

This had been his work to begin with. Lin Su smiled and nodded before returning to his seat, his expression turning serious as he immersed himself in work.

"Didn't I say..."

Before Gu Lin could finish, Lin Su interrupted him gently. "President Gu, it is work hours right now. We can talk about anything else after work."

Seeing him return to his former refined and gentle self, Gu Lin felt awful.

Gu Lin placed the insulated lunch box from the tea table in front of Lin Su and said in a deep voice, "Eat before you work." With that, he walked straight to his desk.

"Thank you, President Gu," Lin Su said with a smile.

Lin Su slowly opened the insulated lunch box and froze. Everything inside was food he liked.

His grip on the chopsticks tightened. He did not dare look up as he slowly finished the specially prepared meal.

After eating, Lin Su lowered his head and went through the work in his hands. Gu Lin had already completed most of it, and all that remained was to wait for Xiao Jiang and the others.

He lightly pressed his red lips together and stared at the document before him in thought for a moment. He sighed soundlessly, then finally opened a document on his computer.

The rapid clatter of the keyboard was especially distinct in the quiet office.

Gu Lin's heart tightened. Ever since that sentence, he had not heard a single thought from Lin Su.

His gaze settled on Lin Su's gentle face, and his sharp brows furrowed even tighter.

What was Lin Su thinking? Did it have anything to do with him?
