After the White Moonlight came back, the Stand-in Fell into Unemployment Crisis - Chapter 19

For the body and mind to cool down, what should come is still here.

The president said: “I unilaterally terminated the contract early, and the remaining months of wages and severance compensation will be counted to you.”

The president said everything the substitute had to say, and the substitute just nodded and said, “Thank you for your help over the past year. I will pack my luggage tonight and leave early tomorrow.”

The president’s hands trembled slightly, and he whispered, “I didn’t mean that, I just wanted to… fall in love with you.”

“Oh, I see.” The stand-in suddenly realized, “Do you want to change the maintenance contract into a love contract? Then you really have to sign a new contract.”

“No! It’s serious love!” the president said, “I like you!”

The president’s voice got louder, and people nearby noticed them. The president lowered his voice again, and said very seriously: “I like you, and I want to start over with you? Is it okay?”

He waited for the substitute’s answer, but the substitute didn’t hesitate, and quickly replied, “Sorry, we’re not suitable.”

The president was stunned.

The stand-in said, “I’m not worthy of you.”

Compared to the president’s astonishment, the stand-in seemed very calm. He said: “You are an elite who graduated from a good school. I didn’t graduate from high school. You are a child of a good family, and my parents are both gamblers and left me a lot of debt. You have your own business, and I’m just a social animal doing low-level work.”

“Maybe because I look so similar to Mr. X, you mistakenly think that your feelings for him are your feelings for me.”

The president said: “It’s for you, it has nothing to do with him, I like you.”

“Why do you keep going back as you live?” The substitute said, “He is the one who really suits you. I can’t even call him a replacement. At most, it’s a low-quality cottage. You can’t spend downgrades, right?”

The president didn’t say a word.

The stand-in said: “I really don’t deserve you. You are so good and suitable for the best person.”

The meal ended up being extremely silent, but the stand-in did not regret his refusal so decisively.

Because the best puppy likes the best owner and is loved by the best owner.

And he was just a lowly man, and all the good things had nothing to do with him.

Back home, the president started the conversation again.

“I think there is no so-called worthy or unworthy in love.” The president said, “You are motivated and gentle and careful, which is something no one else has. I appreciate you very much.”

“Are very motivated people still taking undergraduate exams by themselves?” the stand-in said, “You flatter me too much.”

The substitute said again: “And gentle and careful… You said that a person who often orders takeout for you to eat is very gentle and careful?”

The president said, “You only order takeout when I’m happy. Whenever I’m the most tired and annoyed, you must cook by yourself. I don’t even know how you found out.”

On the busiest days, he must have his favorite dishes when he gets home. And on the day when you least want to go to work, opening your eyes that day will also be your favorite breakfast. Sometimes he doesn’t even notice his own emotions, but the stand-in does.

The stand-in said: “You won’t send me messages when you go to work on busy days. You must go to bed late the day before you don’t want to go to work. When you’re in a bad mood, you’ll watch the game… As long as you observe more, anyone can find out.”

The president said: “But no one has ever found out.”

The substitute suddenly felt that the president was a little pitiful.

He just said: “There will be better people who like you.”

The stand-in was about to go back to his room to pack his luggage, but the president stopped him again, “Do you like me?”

The stand-in said: “It’s spineless to be taken care of, how can I be stupid enough to like people I shouldn’t like?”
