Wu You and Wu Wei and You Lan are all employees of a company. Moreover, they are also in a department. Moreover, Wu Wei is also the head of their department.

When Wu You first came to the company, he fell in love with You Lan at first glance. You'll like to wear a white dress, sometimes a suit, a skirt, that is simple and elegant, angelic-like pure. Wu You's heart was struck at once. At that time he thought: "If she could be my wife, how good it would be!"

At that time, Wu You did not know that Wu Wei was also in love with You Lan. Wu Wei loves You Lan's love to be subtle, unlike him so openly, as if worried that the people of the world do not know. From the moment Wu You decided to chase after You Lan, he said to You Lan in the office, "I like you. I can't help it, I have to chase you, so be prepared." Youlan smiled, did not show, and continued her work. But coincidentally, Wu Wei who came to their office to get the materials saw it. Wu Wei looked at Wu You for a long time, the light in his eyes was very inscrutable.

One afternoon just after work, Wu You wanted to ask You Lan to have dinner, when Wu Wei was present, Wu You said, "You Lan, I'll treat you tonight." This is the third time he asked Yulan. The previous two times you Lan did not agree. Just said, "Next time, next time." The proverb says that things can only be three, and you feel that if you do not say yes to him, he will be very humiliated, men, no face is a very ugly thing, hurt self-esteem. You Lan then said, "Okay." At that moment, he was as happy as a three- or four-year-old child. Looking at Wu You's happy face, You Lan also smiled.

Youlan's smile made Wu Wei notice. Wu Wei's heart became difficult. Of course, Wu Wei is very good at controlling himself. Wu Wei is not as Wu You as no city. When Wu Wei heard about Wu You's appointment with You Lan, he just grunted twice in his heart, of course, he still had a smile on his face. But at the end of the day, Wu Wei suddenly announced: this evening Wu You stay to work overtime.

That said, it is common to work overtime at night. But today's overtime is not a big deal, tomorrow a little more intensified will be able to complete, but Wu Wei said, Wu, You will only perform the part because Wu Wei is the department manager.

When hearing Wu Wei announced over time, the most annoyed Wu You. Wu, You heard it and slapped his brain, saying, "Oh my God, how so coincidental, the heavens are deliberately tricked me!"

Of course, the meal did not work out. The next day when I saw Yulan again, Wu You was a little downcast. You, Lan, felt it, and You Lan smiled at him. You, Lan, said: "There is a chance later." Because You Lan faintly feels that all this is Wu Wei doing small action.

Things passed and passed.

One morning, Youlan came to the office early. Every day, Yulan is the first to arrive, first clean up a bit of hygiene, to the water fountain filled with water, clean up the things on the desk, after all this is done, everyone came one after another. But this day, Wu Wei arrived early. When Yulan just put down the bag, only to do those weekly things, Wu Wei juggling like a rose from behind, said: "Yulan, for you!" It was a very large red rose, not of the domestic variety. Youlan had seen it in a flower store. Looking at the flower, You Lan was a little hesitant when Wu Wei kneeled violently with both knees and said, "You Lan, please accept it."

Although Yulan knew that Wu Wei liked him, but did not expect it to come so suddenly. She was a bit confused, thinking: should she take it or not? She heard footsteps in the corridor, and she didn't want others to see Wu Wei offering her flowers at this moment, so she took them and turned around to find the utensils to put them on.

At this time someone stepped lightly singing "You are my rose you are my flower, you are my lover is my concern ......" to the office, You Lan did not have to look to know who it was. Once you think of him, Youlan's heart is like a hidden deer.

Wu Wei see you Lan received the flowers, a stone fell to the ground in the heart. When you go to find the flower arrangement, Wu You immediately arrived. Looking at Yulan's panic, Wu Wei had a smile on his face.

But Wu You, who had just entered the office, did not see the scene just now, but only saw You Lan arranging flowers. He said, "Gee, this flower is so beautiful! Hey, who sent them?"

Yulan's face flushed and just said, "Pinched in the garden by the roadside." She said as if nothing had happened, but in reality, she was afraid, afraid that he would ask further.

Wu, You said, "You are cruel, such a beautiful flower, how can you pinch it?"

Youlan did not say anything, she knew she could not say anything more. The more she says, the more she will not understand. If you don't understand, you don't say, you just smile and go back to her business.

When it was time to eat lunch, Wu Wei deliberately came in front of You Lan and said, "Lunch is on me, okay?"

You, Lan, said: "No, there is a box lunch, do not break the bank!"

Wu Wei said, "How can I treat you, it's called an honor! I have to go, I have arranged a private room in the hotel, everything is set, the money I also used the card to their account."

You, Lan, is it a little difficult, to go or not to go? She was looking for support with her eyes. Wu, You came over and said, "Since Supervisor Wu invited, it is a great honor, do not eat for nothing!" Wu, You said witty and mischievous, and then asked, "Supervisor Wu, do you want us to go together to accompany the guest ah!"

Yulan's face suddenly reddened, she did not know why, as if caught stealing something, Wu Wei said, "This meal you guys will be exempt, next time I invite all of you ah!"

Wu, You said, "Good, this time let you guys act alone, then we will follow you next time!"

Looking at You Lan and Wu Wei two people in front of their own eyes shoulder to shoulder away, Wu You heart sour.

Wu, You's sour You Lan is felt, when You Lan turned to leave a moment, from the corner of Wu You's eyes out of helplessness, disappointment and contradictory state of mind let You Lan fierce heart, although Wu You face is still written smile, Wu You inner surging waves did not escape the eyes of You Lan. You, Lan, felt sorry for Wu You. Wu, You invited him several times, either because of this or because he did not go to the appointment, think about it, quite sorry. You, Lan, sighed, of course, this sigh is deep inside the sigh. On the way to go, you Lan thought, they must find an opportunity to make a good appointment with him once, as compensation it!

This opportunity let you find, that day, was to leave work, the temporary company came to some work, you Lan look like overtime again. Of course, these jobs from the bottom to the office to move some paper and some office supplies, but coincidentally, the elevator is not running that day, Youlan is worried about how to move from the first floor to the fifteenth floor of their work, Wu You did not say anything, and helped Youlan to move, Wu You tired and sweaty, she was very grateful. She said she wanted to treat him. He didn't refuse.

When they sat together, Wu You was not as able to talk as before, just silently looking at You Lan. Youlan didn't know what she was going to say, so she smiled at Wu You. Wu, You also smiled, Wu You smiled a little helplessly. He looked at the wine glass and said: "I know, that rose was sent by Wu Wei. Wu Wei is very fond of you. I also understand my situation, I want you to be happy, so I wish you both the best." After saying that, Wu You smiled at You Lan again.

Looking at Wu You's smile, You Lan's heart trembled with pain, she wanted to tell him that she did not promise Wu Wei, it was Wu Wei's wishful thinking. But how to say this out loud? Wu, You did not believe me. You, Lan, had to say: "Do not say this, you will understand later. Come, I drink to you, thank you for being good to me!"

The next day at work, Wu You just entered the office, Wu Wei met his face and poked a punch at his shoulder. He was hit by Wu Wei's punch is a bit like the two monks do not know what to do. Ask Wu Wei why. Wu Wei said, "I hit you this punch is to make you sober, do not forget who you are!"

Wu, You used his hand to touch the place where he was hurt by Wu Wei, when You Lan ran over, You Lan was concerned and chided Wu Wei: "Why did you do that? Why did you hit him?"

Wu Wei said, "It's none of your business, go do your job!"

You, Lan, gave Wu Wei a hateful look with her eyes. Wu, You told Yulan, "It's okay, you go about your business!" You, Lan, looked at them both in confusion. She had to return to her position. But You Lan always felt that Wu Wei's punch was related to her.

Wu, You looked at Wu Wei and said, "I know why you hit me, but I can tell you that I'm not the way you think I am!"

Wu Wei looked at him fiercely, said nothing, and walked away.

Of course in the days to come, Wu Wei gave him little shoes everywhere. Sometimes he deliberately made a fuss about a little thing. Wu, You clenched his fist several times, and then put it down. He knows that he can not punch, out, he is not him.

Many people held for him, said he was cowardly, if Wu Wei to them like that, they have long been like the Liang Shan good man should strike when the fight. Wu, You knew that they were enraged. Wu, You smiled at these good people, said he is out of hand, but also is not interesting.

People ask him what is interesting. Is it interesting to be pinched like a soft persimmon by Wu Wei every day? Wu, You said, "I like the phantom orchid, the phantom orchid can be happy every day, it is interesting."

Many people said, "You ah! You ah ......" said "you ah" after many people shook their heads and said: "You this person ah, hey ...... "

Of course, on many nights Wu, You consider whether to leave here, there is Wu Wei in, and the hope of You Lan returning to him is not much. The thought of You Lan lying in Wu Wei's arms, Wu You's heart is sore, and tears will flow out.
