Chapter 57
Yu Xia still didn't feel much of a connection with this girlfriend.
She glanced down at her phone.
The chat box contained her conversation with Gu Yubai from last night.
[Bai]: Girlfriend, are you home yet?
Five minutes later.
【Summer】: ...We've arrived.
[Bai]: Shall we go on a date after get off work tomorrow?
Five more minutes passed.
【Summer】: ...Oh.
At this moment, instead of text, the other end sent a voice message.
He pressed the voice call button, and a man's low, chuckling voice came through the receiver: "Oh, what does that mean? Agree or disagree?"
Having grown accustomed to Yu Xia's answers, he already knew that this meant agreement, but he still sent her a voice message to tease her.
I never had this kind of wicked sense of humor before, but for some reason, I can't help but want to tease Yu Xia every time I meet her.
Perhaps it was because the young streamer's facial expressions were so adorable back then.
He thought.
Yu Xia, unaware of his thoughts, replied honestly.
【Summer】: means to agree.
Another voice message came from the other end, still with a smile, and the owner's joy was clearly audible.
"Okay, I got it. Goodnight, see you tomorrow."
【Summer】: Good night.
It was a very ordinary conversation, even bland compared to other sweet couples, but for some reason, Yu Xia felt something was different.
It's like secretly eating a piece of candy right under the teacher's nose; no one else knows, only she knows how sweet and happy it was.
The thought of going on a date made the feeling even stronger; it was practically bursting out.
Yu Xia curled the corners of her mouth and, feigning composure, picked out a dress from the wardrobe.
Well... she usually wears skirts, nothing special, it's normal.
It's just a very ordinary outfit; no one will find it strange.
Hmm...that's it!
Yu Xia successfully convinced herself and then changed into the dress.
—
But as soon as she arrived at the studio, Yuan Yi at her workstation exclaimed, "Xia, you look so beautiful today!"
"Huh?" Yu Xia was taken aback, and that little bit of shame resurfaced. It wasn't beauty-related shame, but rather the embarrassing shame of having her little thoughts discovered.
"I...don't I usually do this too?" Yu Xia said, her voice lacking confidence.
“No, no, no,” Yuan Yi held up her index finger and waved it from side to side, looking her over with a scrutinizing expression. “It’s different. You’re usually quite pretty, but that’s because you’re naturally pretty, and you’re dressed quite casually, the kind of outfit that makes you look like a working-class person in an office. But today…”
Yuan Yi paused meaningfully, "You're obviously dressed up today! You're even wearing false eyelashes, it's obvious you're different from usual." Yuan Yi narrowed her eyes, scrutinizing her, "When a woman starts dressing up in a place like this where you feel half-dead every day, it's either because she has an appointment or something good is happening!"
Holy crap.
This woman's intuition is incredibly accurate.
Feeling guilty under her gaze, Yu Xia pretended to look away naturally, feigning that she was looking for a document.
Seeing her reaction, Yuan Yi knew that she was pretty much right. She chuckled and teased, with a "I know, I know all" attitude: "Xia, do you have plans after get off work?"
Aside from having plans to leave work, Yuan Yi couldn't think of anything that would make Yu Xia dress so exquisitely in this office where she would wear the ugliest clothes she had at home every day.
Yu Xia gave an unnatural "hmm".
Seeing her like this, Yuan Yi said with a smile, "If you have an appointment, then you have an appointment. Why are you so nervous? It's not like when you're in school and the teacher is catching you doing something wrong."
"Alright, alright," Yuan Yi stopped teasing Yu Xia, seeing her shy and nervous appearance. "Have fun."
Hearing that she had finally brought up that topic, Yu Xia finally relaxed a bit and nodded with a smile: "Mm."
The clock struck nine, and the meeting began promptly.
This report will mainly focus on the data analysis from the last live broadcast.
Inside the meeting room, most people had arrived and were ready.
Gu Yubai was the last to arrive. He waited until the conference room was almost full before pushing open the door and walking steadily to his seat at the head table.
After he sat down, his assistant walked over to him and whispered something to him.
The man was dressed no differently than usual, still in a black suit with a white shirt underneath. His suit trousers hugged his long, slender legs. He sat casually, his legs crossed naturally, exuding an air of nonchalance. His assistant was speaking to him, and he nodded slightly, still maintaining his indifferent demeanor.
She was dressed the same as usual, without any deliberate embellishment. Even her movements and expressions were normal, but Yu Xia felt that something was different.
It's... actually quite tempting.
At this moment, Gu Yubai seemed to sense a gaze, looked up, and met Yu Xia's eyes.
The moment Gu Yubai looked over, Yu Xia's eyes widened instantly, and she quickly lowered her head.
Gu Yubai curled the corners of his lips, chuckled softly, and then said, "Let's begin."
So, the person in charge of the presentation opened the PowerPoint presentation.
Gu Yubai looked at the person whose head was bowed so low they were almost disappearing into a folder, smiled, and quietly sent a message on his phone.
Yu Xia's phone vibrated, and she instinctively opened it to check.
A new message appeared in the chat box at the top of WeChat.
[Bai]: Girlfriend, if you lower your head any further, you'll fall into the folder.
Yu Xia was taken aback. She looked up and saw the smile on Gu Yubai's face.
It's a joke! A blatant joke!
Yu Xia immediately buried her head even lower in embarrassment.
Gu Yubai smiled and shook his head.
The little anchor's shy demeanor is indeed adorable.
like.
The one-hour report ended quickly.
After listening, Gu Yubai put down his pen and said, "That's enough for today, meeting adjourned."
After the morning meeting ended, everyone began packing their things and got up to leave.
Yu Xia followed behind, and because she was a little slow in packing, she ended up being the last one.
Gu Yubai slowed down at some point, walked to her side, and whispered:
"Wait for me after get off work."
“…Oh, okay.” Yu Xia hadn’t expected him to suddenly come over and talk to her quietly, and replied blankly.
Gu Yubai smiled, and taking advantage of the fact that no one was watching, he reached out and gently ruffled her hair: "Let's go."
A warm, gentle touch came from above her head, and Yu Xia didn't turn around for a long time.
It wasn't until Gu Yubai's figure disappeared down the corridor that Yu Xia reacted. Then, a beat late, she touched the spot where Gu Yubai had just touched her. It seemed that there was still some residual warmth from his body on it.
Yu Xia touched her head and suddenly felt it was very hot, and her face turned a little red.
Then a question arose in her mind.
Why does Gu Yubai... look so experienced?
