Dream High.
'Guiying' knocked the door to Yating's office after which she heard a dismal voice from inside. "Co in."
'She' stepped in and observed Yating, who seed exhausted. 'She' paused and said, "I can co later if you want."
Yating looked up and asked, "Ah, why?"
"Maybe you would look a little less of a ghost then?"
He coughed with embarrassnt. "I didn't get enough sleep last night."
"I feel you should add peace in it too. Is there sothing wrong? Maybe I can help you."
"No, it's just..." Realizing sothing, Yating stared at her with slight surprise. "Are you saying you want to help ?"
'Guiying' grimaced. "That's what 'Maybe I can help you' ans. I think you should really get so sleep."
He softly laughed. "I didn't an it like that. It was a little surprising coming from you because I thought you didn't think we were friends anymore. You know, for the last few months, I felt we had beco quite distant as friends."
'Guiying' knew that it was definitely because of her. Ever since 'she' took control, 'she' practically cut off all her small talk and friendships with her colleagues and friends.
But now that Yating pointed it out, 'she' was shocked at herself for putting forth that suggestion. 'She' never bothered with other people's problems because 'she' had wired herself to only look after Guiying.
It is really strange. Why did I ask him that?
"Things were a little difficult after the Summit and there were so personal problems."
By that, 'she' ant Cai Lingyun's ss.
Yating nodded. "I see."
"So is there sothing bothering you?"
He let out a sigh and felt like talking about it to soone. He parted and closed his lips but in the end said nothing.
'Guiying' cocked her brow and shrugged. "It's fine. You don't need to force yourself. Maybe you will talk with soone else you are more comfortable with."
"No, it's not like that," he cleared his throat.
"Why are you looking guilty? I am not offended. I genuinely an it. There might be soone else you might feel more open with in sharing your problems."
He slightly widened his eyes. "You have...changed a little?"
'Guiying' frowned.
Have I? I only said that because I have been eting Zixin all this ti...
"I just an...you won't feel like it's a task to share your concerns with a particular soone. I don't know who it is for you, but you might feel a little easygoing?"
"I guess...Anyway, what did you co here for?"
'She' brought out her tablet and showed him the drafts. "Zhan Yahui isn't here today. So Mr. Chief Editor, get to work."
He laughed. "Got it. I will take a look. Is it okay if I take so ti?"
"Cool. I will take my leave."
His phone buzzed with a ssage, and his face unknowingly lit up after reading the sender's na.
'Chyou here! So, so! Are you free today? Yin's birthday is coming soon, but I cannot decide on a gift. So, please, please help out *pleading emoticon*'
He chuckled and replied. 'Sure. Let's et today. I will be off work after 6.'
'Cool!'
"Seems like you do have a certain soone."
His attention snapped towards 'Guiying' who was teasingly smirking at him. "What?"
"The one you are texting to. I guess you can pour out all your worries to her~"
He blinked and then his eyes widened. "No, no!" He laughed and waved his hand in dismissal. "It's not like that with her. She is just my good friend. In fact, we hardly talked in the past month. She had a hectic life and so did I. We just had on and off conversations."
"That doesn't explain why your face lit up like the sun after seeing her ssage."
"It had been a long ti so..."
'Guiying' narrowed her eyes, making Yating scratch his throat a little. "You are making conscious."
"You are an idiot."
"..."
"Why did you call an idiot?"
"You are an idiot," 'she' repeated and left his office.
His brow twitched.
Did she eat sothing weird today?
Outside, 'Guiying' also received a ssage from Zixin.
'I found a good restaurant online. Do 'you' and Guiying want to enjoy a al with ?'
"It would definitely sound like a strange question to soone else, but I am sure his expression would be looking absolutely serious right now," 'she' chuckled to herself.
Both of them were delighted with this idea, so 'she' hit a 'yes' back as her reply.

Liu Corps.
Jun was on the verge of getting a very bad headache because no matter how much he thought back, he couldn't rember a single event where he t Guiying in his past life.
"Dad, I never personally t Cai Guiying. But there is one thing. She has an account in Reading Point by the userna Warlord. We used to chat on and off there. But the thing is she made that profile as a male user. There were never any skirmishes between Warlord and either on Reading Point. I didn't even know that Warlord is Cai Guiying. We realized that in this life in Shanghai when she invited Shui to the fest as Warlord."
Ai touched her chin thoughtfully. "Guiying never ntioned Jun to in the past either."
Jun threw his head back at the couch. "I know. If she said that I betrayed her despite not eting her even once, then there must be sothing connecting us."
Jin said, "She was there at Shui's 25th birthday too in the past, but she never t you there either."
"That's true. I didn't et her at the party either."
Jinhai blinked once. "She was there at Shui's birthday party?"
"Yeah. Shui had invited her."
"Then sothing must have happened because of her presence."
Jun replied. "Not really. Everything went downhill after the party actually. My identity as Sky CEO was exposed, I couldn't co to Great-grandma's funeral...If this is related to betraying her, then sothing must have happened at the party for I don't know...Cai Guiying to realize sothing?"
Jin rubbed the corner of his temple, trying hard to recollect everything that had happened in the past life's party related to Cai Guiying. Just then he blinked, realizing a detail.
"I don't know if she was Cai Guiying, but I think I saw a woman coming out of your room crying."
