Okay.

I can't run away, and I can't run away from reality.

The reality is, I have a job, I have to graduate, I can't leave, I'm very busy.

God!

I need outside help.

Outside help, outside help, where are you?

My outside help is the CEO of Stark Enterprises, and she told me to leave her be.

I said okay, so I went to find outside help number two, and outside help number two said to me:

'What are you doing, Xiaonan, I'm on vacation in Paris!

So you're calling me to come back and watch the show? '

My heart was simply filled with grief.

"God, my Dai Han, your brother is working hard in New York, and you're going to Paris on vacation by yourself?

And you're not sending me any gifts?! "

'What's wrong with that?' Little Osborne asked me back.

"Where's your conscience?"

'Where's yours, where's mine. Okay, don't get angry all the time, I'm looking at a few Chanel designs, I'll send them over later.

Bye. '

What can I say?

Come on, I knew this Osborne wasn't reliable.

It's okay, I still have outside help number three.

It's not time to give up.

Outside help number three is a Silicon Valley coder, and his job is to type away at the keyboard on the computer.

I can video call him in the middle of the night because he's a Silicon Valley coder, and he's the kind that doesn't like to sleep.

Then I'll call Kris!

Yes, it's Kris.

Why?

Do you think I'm looking for Mark?

No, no, no, not really.

Oh, don't joke around.

Mark's EQ is negative.

Right now, I wanted to find someone with a high EQ to discuss whether there was a stable formula that could alleviate the big bang that I was about to experience.

However, my conversation with Kris is as follows:

'Hello?'

"Kris?

Hey, long time no see, how's everything going? "

'Is this Nancy?'

"Yes, it's me.

I have something to ask your opinion on, you … "

'Okay, I'll connect you to Mark.'

… Huh?

No, wait, I'm looking for you, not Mark Zuckerberg. Why did you transfer my call? What's the meaning of this, Kris Hughes?

Obviously, Kris had foreseen that I was trouble and would bring him more trouble than me. After I received the report that Kris had transferred my call, I heaved a sigh of relief. I didn't forget to forbid Mark from transferring my call back to him.

… I say, isn't this a bit too much?

'Maybe he feels that he's not in a position to solve your relationship,' Mark explained dryly for Kris.

"Then you have a stance?" I was speechless.

"Yes, where is it?"

Mark asked in return. He emphasized his next sentence, "I'm your pursuer, remember?"

I continued to be speechless for a second, uncontrollably amused.

"So, what does my suitor have to say about my predicament?" I asked.

Do you want to come to California?

"I'm not going.

Why? "

'Then forget it,' Zuckerberg said, and then … hung up!

Am I so desperate that I have to ask Max and Caroline for help?

Oh no, no, no.

That's a complete suicide option.

Calm down.

I have to calm down.

Andrew didn't explicitly say which day he bought the plane ticket.

After sending me the flowers, he was busy in London. I knew it when I saw on the news that Spider-man cooperated with the British Avengers. I don't want to bother him now.

It's not that he won't be distracted for me. Yes, that's the problem.

During work hours, I scribbled on the A4 paper by myself.

Toby came over and stared at my scribbles for a few seconds.

"I'm sorry for causing you trouble," Toby said gently.

This sentence was expected, but it wasn't a sentence I really wanted to hear at all.

I looked up and couldn't help but sigh at Toby.

"Please, it's not your fault." I paused for a second and added, "It's no one's fault."

Toby smiled bitterly. He pulled out the chair across from my desk and sat down.

"If you can take any more guilt, I'm happy to let you know that I almost realized it before you started dating Andrew."

I immediately covered my ears with my hands.

"No!

I can't take any more guilt. Don't tell me! "

"I haven't even made it clear what I realized," Toby said slowly.

I closed my eyes and acted like a qualified coward.

"Lalalalala, I can't hear anything!" No matter what the answer is, I don't want to hear it, okay?!

Toby smiled good-naturedly and helplessly.

"I don't have a chance at all, right?" he said.

I put down my hands and looked at Toby. I replied dryly, "You know, if I were only seven years old …"

"You would be very happy.

I know. "Toby nodded and smiled." You said that you would marry me.

You made me a clay ring. "

At a time like this, I could only say, "… Playdoh is a non-toxic toy clay for children. It's an old brand for almost half a century. It's worthy of your trust."

Toby laughed.

I really didn't know how I hit Toby's laughing acupoint.

Whatever. He's happy, I'm happy, everyone's happy. Happy CEO, happy Parker Industries, yay.

Then Toby said, "You really don't have to be troubled by this.

I'm being sincere.

Think about the past few years. You didn't know about it, things kept happening, and we were fine, right?

That's good.

Please believe me.

It's true. "

Toby didn't stay in front of my desk for long.

He was the CEO, he was the Spider-man. He wouldn't stay on trivial matters. Even if he did, it wouldn't be for long.

And I was usually the one who helped him deal with those trivial matters.

I carefully tried to recall when Toby last had a girlfriend.

I realized that I could only think of … the red-haired MJ that I met when Toby was in high school.

Speaking of which, Andrew also knew an MJ.

Was this some kind of Peter Parker's law?

Michel asked everyone to call her MJ, including Peter.

And if all of that is included, that is, I mean, the whole thing, when all of it is included, makes me feel terrified.

Panic included fear.

This would hurt Toby's heart.

I couldn't convince myself. Yes, Toby had had a few female companions on and off for the last few years, for various occasions and needs.

But those weren't girlfriends.

This was different.

It seemed like Toby didn't want to ask for more. His wish was to maintain the status quo.

But I couldn't maintain the status quo. This wasn't something I could control alone. It was like I couldn't use magic to eliminate all the things that happened here that I couldn't solve.

Maybe I should talk to Peter about what he did in the past. Because there was a scary speculation here that Andrew broke up with me because of Peter.

After all, Toby didn't want more of me.

He felt that everything was enough.

Peter, on the other hand, was the opposite of Toby.

I didn't know how I should react to this speculation.
