Chapter 30

It was a rare sunny weekend, and Xia Weining's favorite thing was to not miss any sunshine, so she decided to do a thorough cleaning and took all the quilts downstairs to dry in the sun. She went back and forth several times and was exhausted.

She didn't like cooking, so she went to the restaurant downstairs to pack some food and bought some snacks at the convenience store. After dinner, she prepared to go to her parents' bookstore to take a look.

She really enjoys this kind of life, which is relaxed, comfortable and stress-free. Everything goes as she wishes, and her family is by her side, making her feel very satisfied.

Her steps were much lighter as she walked along the street. The bookstore's business was pretty good. She observed at the door for a while and saw people coming in one after another.

The merchandise in the store is richer than before, with many more types of toys added. My parents are too busy to handle it, so they hired a helper.

Xia Weining walked in with a smile, "Uncle and Aunt."

"Weining is here, you go around first."

"Okay, where's Xia Li?"

"Doing homework upstairs."

"I'll go see her."

Their store is a two-and-a-half-story building. The top floor is like a balcony, used for storing sundries, planting flowers, and drying clothes. Half of the second floor is used to store goods and the other half is used for living, which is also quite comfortable.

Xia Weining pushed open the door to the second floor and saw Xia Li and Sheng Xuan doing their homework. She nodded affirmatively and said, "The teacher is very pleased to see you working so hard."

Without even looking up, Xia Li said, "The remote control is over there, along with some snacks and fruit."

"Understand me!"

Xia Weining happily curled up on the sofa beside her, eating and watching TV series, starting her happy time.

At first she thought this was not a good idea as it would affect their studies, but later she found that the two of them were not affected by her at all, and it might even enhance their ability to resist interference, so she persisted.

This is her happy home. Xia Weining is the kind of person who needs to find a suitable atmosphere and some people who are on the same wavelength as her. In front of these people, she will not feel restrained or nervous, but will feel more comfortable and casual.

Or she prefers to get along with people who don't have a sense of superiority and are not as outstanding as her, so that she won't feel pressured or despised. This is a new type of ostrich policy.

During this time, Zhou Caimei came up to deliver some food and a passbook. Xia Weining stopped her and asked, "What does this mean?"

"The bookstore is slowly making money, and this is your money."

"I don't want it." Xia Weining threw the passbook on the table. "You guys take it first. I don't need any money."

"But--"

"Don't say but, I love it here, and money can't compare to this."

Zhou Caimei was in a dilemma, but Xia Weining didn't care and directly stuffed the passbook into her hands, "Take this money and expand the store."

After some discussion, Xia Weining finally returned the money and stayed for dinner.

When I got home, I felt stuffy in the house, so I planned to sit on the balcony for a while. As soon as I opened the balcony door, I was shocked to see Sheng Huaizhou doing a handstand against the wall.

"What are you doing? You scared me."

Sheng Huaizhou came down from the wall, clapped his hands, stood in the middle of the balcony and looked into the distance without saying a word.

"What's irritating you? Or are you just pretending to be profound?"

Sheng Huaizhou turned his head to look at her, then slowly turned back, still without saying a word.

This operation really scared her, "This listless look is not like you."

He still didn't speak.

This really pissed off Xia Weining, "Hey, if you don't want to tell me, forget it. I don't even bother asking."

Just as she turned to leave, Sheng Huaizhou suddenly spoke.

"Can you write a performance report?"

"What?" Xia Weining didn't hear clearly, "What are you mumbling about?"

"I say," he paused, his voice rising considerably, "can you write a performance report?"

Xia Weining burst out laughing and said that Sheng Huaizhou looked so familiar. He was just like her after a day of work, smelling of work and looking like she had lost all hope in life.

It turns out that no one can escape the torture of going to work.

"What are you laughing at?" He asked anxiously, "Will it happen or not?"

"When asking for help, you should have the attitude of asking for help, okay?"

"Who asked you for help?" He continued stubbornly, "You're still laughing at me."

"I'm not laughing at you." Xia Weining reacted and held herself high. "Miss Xia, you said you were smart and beautiful. Please teach me how to write a performance report."

"You..." Sheng Huaizhou stamped his feet in anger and turned his head to the side, "I won't say it."

"Forget it, I'm leaving now."

"Wait." Sheng Huaizhou hurriedly stopped her and said with difficulty, "Can we discuss whether those overly rich adjectives can be removed?"

"No, why can't you say it? Then I'll add a few more."

"No." He smiled, "This is enough."

Xia Weining crossed his arms in front of his chest, very proud, "Then let's get started."

"Let me think about it for a while." Sheng Huaizhou was like a helpless child, "Beautiful..."

After saying just two words, Xia Weining couldn't continue. Her face was cold, "Do I make it so difficult for you to speak?"

Sheng Huaizhou smiled awkwardly and took deep breaths, but it didn't help much.

"Write it yourself." Xia Weining turned and left the balcony.

After a while, there was a knock on the door. Sheng Huaizhou, who was still unhappy, asked, "What are you doing here?"

Before Sheng Huaizhou could open his mouth, Xia Weining said directly: "Then there is no need to say anything. I will teach you how to write a performance report."

"Why?"

“Why so many whys?”

Xia Weining was actually very upset in her heart. Why did he cause such a thing? Firstly, it was a bit unreasonable. Secondly, if he didn't say that, it would still have some impact on her. She didn't have much confidence in her appearance, and now she was digging her own grave.

"Okay." Sheng Huaizhou smiled faintly, "Thank you, smart and beautiful Miss Xia."

Xia Weining had just lowered her head in a depressed mood, but when she heard his words, she raised her eyes, met his eyes, and smiled.

"You're welcome. I'm a teacher. Teaching and educating is my mission. Driven by my sense of mission, I can teach anyone, even if they're abnormal."

Sheng Huaizhou held his forehead and sighed, "You really can't stand any loss."

Her words made Xia Weining's heart skip a beat. She suddenly realized that she was only so confrontational in front of Sheng Huaizhou.

As for the reason, she herself couldn't explain it clearly.

This was Xia Weining's first time visiting Sheng Huaizhuo's room. His room was spacious and bright, but the decoration was simple. There were not many things in it, and it was clean and tidy. After a quick look around, he felt it was pretty good.

"Please sit down first. There's food on the table. I'll get the computer out."

Only then did Xia Weining see the latest LCD TV on the wall. It was so comfortable to lie down and watch TV. She couldn't help but shake her head and sigh, "Tsk tsk, people are really incomparable."

Compared to my own, it's just a nest.

Sheng Huaizhou came out holding a laptop and said, "It's stuck at a critical point."

Xia Weining finally couldn't help herself and jumped up and exclaimed, "Not only do you have the latest TV, you also have a computer. The key is that your car is also very nice. Are police salaries so high? You are simply a walking wealthy family."

"My family gave it to me."

"Living off my parents?"

Sheng Huaizhou didn't deny it and said "hmm" with a smile.

Xia Weining looked at him doubtfully, "Other people would vehemently deny being accused of being a leech, but why do you seem to enjoy it?"

"That's the truth. Who wouldn't want to chew on an old man?"

Xia Weining couldn't find any reason to refute, so he could only hum and haw and change the subject.

"Let me see your performance report." She had taken the exam for editing before. Although she didn't pass, she was best at writing materials for the essay.

"This is not right. Please correct it." Xia Weining circled many texts in a short while. "The wording should be precise and meaningful."

Sheng Huaizhou was stunned watching from the side. Xia Weining was very charming at work. She was efficient and kept her eyes fixed on the screen. She quickly scanned the text on it and could accurately find loopholes. Every detail of her work showed her professionalism, which made him look at her with admiration.

At the same time, there was something else that shocked him even more. Xia Weining was very skilled in computer operation, even more so than him. He was very proficient in using various tools and had finished all the annotations in a short time.

"Just follow the changes."

Sheng Huaizhou didn't know how to describe the shock in his heart. He felt that he needed to get to know Xia Weining again.

"Thank you." He finally came to his senses. "You are amazing."

"It's a small matter."

At this time, her confidence was just right, and she was full of vigor and vitality.

It is fresh, abundant, luxuriant and vigorous vitality.

Sheng Huaizhou had never seen Xia Weining like this before, and subconsciously took a few more glances at her.

Xia Weining didn't know that she would bring such a big shock to Sheng Huaizhuo. After giving him comments, she went back to her room to prepare her own lesson plan.

This kind of thing is nothing to her. She still believes in her ability at work.

A few days later, Xia Weining went to get off work and back home as usual, but Sheng Huaizhou seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

She wanted to ask him if his performance report had passed, but since she could have some peace and quiet without seeing him, she didn't bother to ask.

After class, she sat in the bookstore for a while and went back after dinner. When she passed by the police station, the familiar lights were still on. She felt very warm and her steps became more secure.

Turning the corner, she came to the street where the residential complex was located. Sheng Huaizhou suddenly rushed out from the side, startling her. She patted her chest and complained to him, "What are you doing? Do you know that scaring others can kill them?"

"It depends on your awareness of prevention."

"Boring." Xia Weining rolled her eyes at him.

"Are you free tomorrow?"

"what?"

"The performance report has been approved. I'll treat you to a meal."

Xia Weining was a little skeptical, "Are you so kind?"

"Gosh, what kind of horrible image do you have of me?"

"It's not good anyway."

Sheng Huaizhou: ...

"Are you going or not?"

"Of course I'll go." Xia Weining said with his neck stiff, "I can't do this work for nothing. This is the fruit of my victory. Why shouldn't I go?"

"Okay, I'll wait for you at the school gate after get off work tomorrow."

"What to eat?"

“The newly opened grilled fish restaurant is pretty good.”

Xia Weining suddenly felt confused and kept looking at Sheng Huaizhou. Why did he only treat her to fish?

Sheng Huaizhou noticed her uneasiness and asked softly, "Don't you want to eat fish?"

"No way." Xia Weining said with a smile: "Just eat fish."

She wanted to see what Sheng Huaizhou was planning.
