Chapter 15 Occasionally Acting Like a Human
His premonition came true, and Ji Shian remained particularly calm. He leaned over the shelf and peeked in, and as expected, he saw Zhou Xingzhi's noisy face.
She calmly extended her hand: "Hi?"
Zhou Xingzhi was surprised: "Special Assistant Ji!"
Qin Yinghuai nodded and greeted him.
Ji Shian: "Mr. Zhou, Mr. Qin, Happy New Year."
Zhou Xingzhi didn't expect to run into someone he knew, and said happily, "Happy New Year! Happy New Year! Oh, no, it's not New Year yet."
It doesn’t matter. Assistant Ji doesn’t care about this little detail at all now.
Qin Yinghuai frowned: "Why run so far?" He remembered that Ji Shian spent a huge amount of money to buy a house near the city center for the convenience of work, and it would take at least three hours to drive here.
Ji Shian smiled firmly, "I wanted to go to the supermarket to buy something, but wherever I passed by, the supermarkets were closed."
Qin Yinghuai fell silent after hearing this, and Zhou Xingzhi burst into tears when he saw this.
Zhou Xingzhi never expected that Ji, the always omnipotent assistant, would have such a bad moment, and he comforted her dryly.
Qin Yinghuai has already realized something.
Hiding is not an option, otherwise Ji Shian doesn't know what dangerous things he will encounter, so he asked: "Do you have any other plans for the New Year?"
Ji Shian shook her head. If the system hadn't urged her to buy New Year's goods, she wouldn't even plan to leave the house.
Zhou Xingzhi relied on the little tacit understanding he had with Qin Yinghuai, and with a flash of inspiration, he took the initiative to invite: "Assistant Ji, since you have nothing else to do, why don't you come to my house and celebrate the New Year together."
Ji Shian was fooled by him and thought that Zhou Xingzhi was just as usual...straightforward, straightforward, lively and bold.
She looked embarrassed and declined politely: "Mr. Zhou, this is not appropriate." It was New Year's Day and it was not appropriate for her, a stranger, to just stay in someone else's house.
Zhou Xingzhi didn't care at all: "What's the big deal? Ying Huai's parents are still traveling around the world and can't come back this year, so the elders of our two families decided to celebrate together. Why don't you come too? It will be more lively with more people."
He thought about it and felt that he was really a genius: "You know most of them anyway."
It's so embarrassing when you're half-familiar with each other!
Ji Shian cried out silently.
Qin Yinghuai looked at the man intently for a few seconds, casually said, "There are red envelopes for the New Year," and pushed the cart away.
The key words were triggered, Ji Shian's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously jumped up.
Zhou Xingzhi, who fell behind, was stunned: He was taken advantage of like this, Assistant Ji.
Then he excitedly took out his cell phone and sent a message home: News - a general is about to join the group chat!
[I am your mother]:?
[I am your father]: Stop playing abstract things.
Zhou Xingzhi stared at his father's group chat address and snorted. He learned it from his father.
He lowered his head and immersed himself in fighting with his father all the way, nimbly avoiding obstacles along the way, when suddenly a corner of his clothes appeared in his peripheral vision.
He raised his head and glanced sideways, then reached out to support the man's arm and said, "Be careful."
Then he hurriedly looked for the backs of Qin Yinghuai and Ji Shian in the crowd, and did not notice that the girl who had just been pulled by him stood still and looked at his back with lingering eyes, her heart pounding.
Qin Yinghuai was pushing the cart with one hand and typing on the screen with the other. Ji Shian was curious: "Boss, are you still busy during the New Year?"
After sending the message, Qin Yinghuai put away his phone and replied, "Send a message to Yan Che, asking him to remember to come and pay New Year's greetings tomorrow."
Otherwise, Ji Shian would probably be on pins and needles all the time.
Ji Shian was stunned for a moment, then felt warm in his heart. He whispered "thank you" and blended into the noisy crowd.
Just as she was hesitating whether to say it louder, Qin Yinghuai said, "It's okay."
He reached out and pulled the cart that Ji Shian had been pushed crooked. His eyes fell on the swirling hair on his head, which was a little cute. "Next time you encounter a similar situation, just call me."
Ji Shian nodded: "I understand."
Qin Yinghuai didn't let her go easily this time and confirmed again: "Did you really remember it?"
Ji Shian looked up and met Qin Yinghuai's deep gaze. He listened to every word he said, "Next time you encounter a similar situation, remember to call me first."
Ji Shian tightened his grip on the handle and nodded solemnly: "Boss Qin, I'll remember this."
She usually only uses this title in formal occasions.
Qin Yinghuai glanced at the person, and thought that he would have to take the person home soon, so it seemed inappropriate to address him in a too unfamiliar way. His gaze shifted to the crowd queuing in the distance.
"Just call me brother."
Ji Shian readily agreed: "Brother Huai."
Qin Yinghuai lowered his eyes and glanced at the man, then hummed in his throat.
When visiting someone's home, you have to give gifts. The three of them stood in front of the car, and Ji Shian suggested going home to get something.
Thanks to Qin Yinghuai, many people would give her a copy when they gave her gifts. * She couldn't use them easily and it was difficult for her to resell them, so they were piled up in the basement.
There is no way. It is too late to find someone to customize it when the incident happened, and the quality cannot be too low.
Ji Shian thought about the bottles of aged wine in the corner and felt that it was time to use them.
Zhou Xingzhi opened his mouth to refuse, but was stopped by Qin Yinghuai.
Qin Yinghuai handed him the car keys: "You go back first. There happened to be a problem with a project at the company. I'll go with her car."
Zhou Xingzhi: "Oh, then you guys get busy."
Before leaving, he couldn't help but ask, "Will you come back tonight?" Don't come back, don't come back, let's just be alone in our world.
Ever since that day's misunderstanding, Zhou Xingzhi has been obsessed with the couple, and no matter how he looks at them, he finds them so appealing. Unfortunately, the atmosphere between them is so serious that there's no trace of innocence at all.
Zhou Xingzhi sighed with regret.
Qin Yinghuai thought for a moment and said, "Of course I have to go back tonight on the 30th. Grandpa should already be at your house."
It was quite nice for the young couple to meet their parents in advance. Zhou Xingzhi's eyes sparkled: "Goodbye!"
Qin Yinghuai paused in his movement, gave him a warning look, and then looked in the direction of Ji Shian.
Ji Shian came back to his senses from his daze and looked over innocently:?
Qin Yinghuai lowered his eyelids: "Let's go."
Ji Shian: "Ahhh."
Fastening his seatbelt, Ji Shian skillfully turned on the navigation: "Boss, where are you going?"
Qin Yinghuai didn't say anything.
Ji Shian looked up in confusion, then realized belatedly: "Ah, sorry, I'm used to it. Which project has the problem, Brother Huai?"
Qin Yinghuai silently withdrew his gaze: "No problem, it's the New Year holiday, and there's no place to start work."
Ji Shian looked at him in surprise.
Then why did you lie to Zhou Xingzhi...
Qin Yinghuai looked over leisurely: Why don’t you know?
Ji Shian finally remembered the plot that he had forgotten: "Ah, I've been so decadent these past two days, eating and sleeping, I forgot about it."
Qin Yinghuai nodded in agreement: "Let's go back to your home first."
Ji Shian's stomach growled, and he checked the time to see it was already noon. "Should we go and get some food first?"
Qin Yinghuai: "Okay."
So the two of them put out the fire and went back into the mall.
Between hot pot and malatang, Qin Yinghuai decisively chose the latter. Malatang can be served in just a few minutes, so people won't go hungry.
Ji Shian had a complicated expression: "I am guilty. I brought my boss to the street to eat spicy hot pot." His status instantly dropped to the bottom. Which chairman would be so down-to-earth?
Qin Yinghuai paused as he pushed the door open, and was so angry that he laughed: "It's not like I haven't eaten it before." Who hasn't eaten street snacks at school when they were in junior high and high school?
After the two of them finished choosing their dishes and walked to their seats, Ji Shian sleekly pulled out a seat for them and took the opportunity to ask, "Didn't you go to high school abroad?"
Could there be such authentic Chinese food abroad? Ji Shian didn't believe it.
Qin Yinghuai: "Private chef." Because his mother loved to eat spicy hot pot and his father was afraid that his wife would get an upset stomach, so he specially hired someone to teach him how to make the most authentic spicy hot pot. Although to this day he still doesn't understand what the pure and authentic spicy hot pot is.
Ji Shian chuckled: "I knew it." I'm going to compete with you rich people, and this is called a street snack in the school?
Qin Yinghuai was used to taking Ji Shian to find food, so he said casually, "I'll take you to eat once later."
Then you have to go to the other person's house.
Ji Shian smiled politely.
"Just pick whatever you like!" Someone not far away was talking about choosing dishes for Malatang as if he was giving orders. Ji Shian looked in the direction of the voice to find out who this person was.
Unexpectedly, he saw Zhou Xingzhi's face again.
Ji Shian: “Fuck!”
"Don't swear." Qin Yinghuai frowned subconsciously: "What's wrong?"
This spicy hot pot restaurant is a chain store. It is very popular during meal times. With the New Year buff, Zhou Xingzhi didn't notice them.
Ji Shian pointed and said, "Brother Huai, look over there."
Qin Yinghuai looked in the direction of his finger and saw Zhou Xingzhi considerately pulling out a chair for a girl. His expression was so gentle that it gave him goose bumps. The two of them were chatting enthusiastically, and it didn't seem like they were just meeting for the first time.
Ji Shian reported: "Brother Huai, look, Zhou Xingzhi is treacherous. He treats his brothers like clothes and throws them away without hesitation. Then he secretly invites a beautiful young lady to dinner!"
I don’t know how much personal emotion is mixed in one sentence.
Qin Yinghuai paused, a faint smile flashed across his eyes, he reached out to take a picture of that side, then politely looked away.
Keep a handle so you can use it whenever you need it.
Ji Shian got inspiration from Qin Yinghuai's actions, took out his mobile phone and clicked on the video directly, recording every move of Zhou Xingzhi's smile.
She sighed sincerely: "This beautiful young lady is really hungry." Is it really possible to keep up with the train of thought of falling in love with a fool?
Qin Yinghuai thought of the free red envelopes he could get during the Chinese New Year, and reluctantly said something fair on Zhou Xingzhi's behalf: "It's okay for him to behave like a decent person occasionally."
Ji Shian looked at Qin Yinghuai, his eyes full of admiration: "Brother Huai, you curse so dirty." His studies are wasted.
After the two of them finished their fight, they tacitly brushed the matter aside. There was no other way. The drama Zhou Xing had caused a few days ago was still fresh in their minds. If they hadn't reacted quickly, they would have lost their innocence long ago.
The system suddenly popped up, its electronic voice filled with lively excitement, clearly very interested in the current topic. [Don't miss it if you pass by, take a few more glances, she's a real charmer!]
Ji Shian thanked the waiter who brought the food and paused before unpacking his chopsticks.
Qin Yinghuai's calm expression disappeared, and he felt as if something extraordinary had just passed through his ears.
Ji Shian and Qin Yinghuai: "A heartthrob?"
Ji Shian and Qin Yinghuai: "Zhou Xingzhi!"
The two looked at each other, their eyes full of absurdity and disgust.
