Idiot In Love -56 Chapter 60: One Step Ahead

On Monday morning when Yi Fei reached her table, there was a pink box on her table. The box had a big ribbon wrapped around it.

There was a pink card on top of the box. Yi Fei opened the card. There were only two words and a symbol written on the card – For You and a heart symbol.

Yi Fei was suspicious of the box. Since she had a bad experience with box previously, she was not really happy when she saw one on her table. She checked the exterior of the box but none other information could be found; the only clue she had was the card and it didn't really help much.

She took a deep breath before she opened the box, she did not have any expectation of what was inside the box. She only hoped that it wasn't something scary like the one she received last time.

She was so happy when she opened the box because they were a big unicorn plush toy inside. She took out the unicorn and hugged it.

"So fluffyyyyyyy" Yi Fei hugged the toy when Cheng Xiao Meng arrived at her table. Upon seeing the card and the box, she snickered.

"You are very lucky. People keep on giving you things for free" Cheng Xiao Meng had a smile on her face but her words were laced with sarcasm.

Yi Fei didn't mind her and kept hugging it. Suddenly, her phone rang. The caller was Wu Chen. Cheng Xiao Meng gave a quick glance at Yi Fei's phone and when she saw the ID of the caller, she rolled her eyes.

"Good morning Chen Chen" Yi Fei saw that Cheng Xiao Meng rolled her eyes at her. So when she took the call from Wu Chen, she lowered her excited voice.

"Did you get the Unicorn I sent you? I'll be away from today till Thursday. So, the Unicorn will accompany you in my stead. You can name it if you want to" Wu Chen was at the airport when he made the call. He purposely asked Liu s.h.i.+ to send the box to Yi Fei's school just to show off to Bai Jing Ting.

"I really love the Unicorn. Thank you so much" Yi Fei's mind was full of the thought of the Unicorn she held in her arm. She was thinking what she should name it.

Wu Chen was helpless at the airport. There was not the slightest hint of sadness or remorse in Yi Fei's tone. He hoped that Yi Fei might be a bit sad because he will be away for a few days but as always, Yi Fei's mind worked differently from his mind.

"Aren't you going to be sad when I am away?" Wu Chen tried his luck.

"Why should I? I have Lay to accompany me. Also, you'll be back on Thursday, right?" Yi Fei stroked the Unicorn's horn. She decided to name it Lay as a tribute to her favourite healing Unicorn.

"Yes, we can go grocery shopping on Friday. Who's Lay?" Wu Chen had prepared this time so he wasn't really sad when Yi Fei said that she won't be sad but he didn't know who Lay is. He thought that he had heard the name from Liu s.h.i.+ before.

"Lay is the Unicorn you gave me" Yi Fei chuckled.

When they were teenagers, Wu Chen always accompanies NaNa to watch romantic movies and dramas. In the movies and dramas, when the male character gave a big plush toy or teddy bear to the girl he liked, the girl will name it after the guy. Wu Chen thought that every woman's mind worked that way. It seemed like Yi Fei was the odd one.

After talking for another few minutes, they both hung up.

Cheng Xiao Meng peeked from her cubicle before she spoke sarcastically. "Is that your boyfriend?"

Yi Fei only smiled at her because she didn't feel like dealing with or explaining things to Cheng Xiao Meng right now. She didn't have the obligation to report everything to Cheng Xiao Meng.

Upon seeing her question being ignored, Cheng Xiao Meng was angry. "Shouldn't you make up your mind by now? If you have a boyfriend already, don't lead up other people with you"

When Yi Fei didn't speak or interrupt her, Cheng Xiao Meng thought that Yi Fei was afraid of her so she continued talking. "Stop dragging Physician Bai with you if you already have a boyfriend. Only b.i.t.c.hes do that".

"Miss Meng, what does it have to do with you whether I have a boyfriend or not? Do I have to report everything to you now? Just who do you think you are?" Yi Fei was angry now.

"Don't lead people on…" Cheng Xiao Meng wanted to antagonize Yi Fei when a male voice spoke behind them.

"I am willing to be lead by Yi Fei. Do you have any problem with that?" Bai Jing Ting heard the whole conversations including when Yi Fei was talking on the phone.

Cheng Xiao Meng shrank from the male voice. She did not see Bai Jing Ting near the door because she had been busy eavesdropping on Yi Fei's phone conversation.

Yi Fei stopped talking, put her Lay nicely into the box and shut the box. She then continued arranging the printout she prepared as if the conversation between her and Cheng Xiao Meng did not happen. Yi Fei was not a petty person, she knew that brawling or prolonged argument with a colleague was not productive for teachers; especially if they were in the same department. That's why she did not pursue the matter.

Bai Jing Ting came to her to ask if she's alright. At the same time, he gave Cheng Xiao Meng a stern look.

Yi Fei shook her head to indicate that she was fine and it wasn't a big deal.

Cheng Xiao Meng clutched her fist when she saw Bai Jing Ting looked at Yi Fei with a loving face because she had been glared at by him just a few minutes ago. Cheng Xiao Meng was filled with hatred at the woman who received such a loving gaze from Bai Jing Ting but stupid enough not to notice it.

Bai Jing Ting and Yi Fei talked a bit before he excused himself to return to his office. He gave a quick last glance at the pink box at Yi Fei's table.

He felt defeated. It was clear that he was the one who knew Yi Fei first but Wu Chen was always one step ahead of him.
