Chapter 437 Taunting
Xia Qingxi walked in calmly. Mo Xiaoxiao saw her coming in, stood up from the chair, looked at Xia Qingxi and said:
"Hello, Teacher Xia, we will be colleagues in the future, and I hope we can get along happily."
Seeing her face with a hint of provocation, Xia Qingxi did not show weakness and replied:
"As long as Teacher Xia behaves himself, I believe it will be more pleasant."

Xia Guyu picked up Xia Qingshu and took him to visit the publicity department briefly, and then took him to the book area and told him that all the books here can be read.
Xia Qingshu was very happy to see the neatly arranged books. After saying "Trouble you" to Xia Guyu, he couldn't wait to get the books to read.
"Brother, follow me first." Xia Guyu said to Xia Qingshu with a smile.
The reason why Xia Guyu followed Xia Qingxi and called him "brother" was because she wanted to quickly get closer to Xia Qingshu.
She knew that people with physical disabilities would have some inferiority in their hearts, so she wanted to use the name of a relative to make Xia Qingshu not be on guard against her.
In fact, the two have the same surname, so calling her brother is also very appropriate, and Xia Guyu also regards Xia Qingxi as her own sister from the bottom of her heart, not to mention that Xia Qingxi saved her life, so as he said, Xia Qingxi's brother is her brother. Xia Guyu has
always been a kind and warm little sun. Her enthusiasm and cheerfulness quickly brought her closer to Xia Qingshu.
She called Xia Qingshu "brother", and Xia Qingshu really regarded her as his sister, just like Xia Qingxi.
After a while, Xia Guyu took Xia Qingshu to a quiet corner. There was a small table and a chair in the corner. There was a desk lamp on the table. Next to the desk lamp was a small vase the size of a baby's fist with a few small flowers in it.
Xia Guyu pointed at the table, smiled, and said to Xia Qingshu jokingly:
"Brother, this will be your desk from now on."
She came to the publicity department early in the morning to prepare these things, just to make Xia Qingshu sit more comfortably when reading in the future.
The table was placed in the corner so that it would not affect others and it was also very quiet.
Xia Qingshu didn't expect that Xia Guyu had specially prepared a table for him to read. Looking at the bright girl smiling at him, he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart.
You know, there are no chairs to sit on in the city library. Everyone uses the transparent glass counters as tables and leans on them to read.
Now he not only has a table but also a chair. How can he not be happy with such a good reading environment.
"Brother, there is a desk lamp here. If it's dark, turn on the desk lamp to read. Don't hurt your eyes." Xia Guyu pointed to the desk lamp on the table and said to Xia Qingshu.
Fearing that Xia Qingshu would feel bad, Xia Guyu quickly joked:
"Haha, I prepared a desk lamp for you because I was afraid that you would become nearsighted from reading. Qinggui will have to blame me then."
Knowing that Xia Guyu was joking, Xia Qingshu followed her words and said:
"Thank you for your thoughtfulness. I can't be nearsighted because I can't wear glasses."
"Why?" Now it was Xia Guyu's turn to be curious.
"Because when I hoe the ground, my glasses will fall off." Xia Qingshu replied with a smile.
After listening to his explanation, Xia Guyu immediately laughed. This elder brother was really different from what she imagined. Not only was he good-looking, but his personality was not inferior at all.
Last night, when she was sleeping in bed, she was still thinking that she must be careful about what she said in front of this big brother tomorrow, for fear that she would accidentally say something wrong and stimulate the big brother's fragile heart.
Now it seems that her worries yesterday were completely unnecessary. The big brother looked very calm, not as pessimistic as other disabled people, and he could even take her jokes. He is really a treasure big brother.
After Xia Guyu finished laughing, Xia Qingshu seemed to have thought of something, looked at her and said:
"If you are free later, take me to meet your minister. I want to thank him in person."
Xia Qingshu's character has always been humble and polite. In his opinion, others let him, an outsider, come to the department to read books for free, and he should thank him no matter what.
"Okay, today is Monday. The minister has a meeting in the morning. I'll take you there in the afternoon." Xia Guyu nodded and agreed, and then continued:
"Then you read first, and I'll come over to take you to the cafeteria for lunch at noon." After that, he waved to Xia Qingshu and prepared to do his own work.
"Okay." After Xia Qingshu said goodbye to her, he couldn't wait to pick up the book on the shelf and read it, and soon immersed himself in the knowledge.
Time passed very quickly, and it was time to eat in a blink of an eye. Xia Guyu came over and called Xia Qingshu, and the two walked to the cafeteria together.
When he went out in the morning, Xia Qingyu prepared a lunch box for Xia Qingshu and gave him a meal ticket. Under Xia Guyu's guidance, Xia Qingshu soon learned how to use it.
The two of them finished their meal, washed their lunch boxes and walked back to the office. As soon as they reached the corridor, they heard a group of women gossiping from the tea room:
"Do you know who the man with reporter Xia is today?" A woman with short hair asked.
"Are you talking about the lame one? I heard reporter Xia call him brother, and it seems that his last name is also Xia. Could they be brother and sister?" The one who answered was Lu Lijuan, and her words were full of disrespect for others.
"If they both have the last name Xia, I think it's possible." Another female comrade in blue clothes replied.
"Haha, I really didn't expect that the brother of such a respectable reporter Xia is actually a lame man?" Lu Lijuan said with a gloating smile on her face.
Because of Xia Qingqing's matter, Xia Guyu has always disliked Lu Lijuan, and no matter how she tries to please him, it's useless.
Lu Lijuan simply stopped trying to curry favor with him, and instead, all her emotions turned into dissatisfaction with Xia Guyu, and she would naturally mock him whenever she got the chance.
Listening to the mocking and insulting words from the people inside, Xia Guyu clenched her fists tightly, and her cute little round face turned red with anger. She was about to walk into the tea room, but was stopped by Xia Qingshu.
She thought he was afraid of trouble, so he didn't let her in, but she heard Xia Qingshu say to her very calmly:
"Don't deal with fools, it will make you very unhappy."
Although Xia Guyu was very angry, after calming down, she still didn't go in to teach them a lesson. After all, if she made a big fuss, Xia Qingshu would be the only one who would be embarrassed.
The people in the room were unaware of the two people outside, and were still talking recklessly inside:
"Is that man also working in our department? Why didn't the minister introduce him to everyone?" the short-haired woman continued to ask.
"If he's not from our department, what is he doing here?" the woman in blue clothes answered.
After hearing this, Lu Lijuan's face became more sarcastic, and she snorted from her nose and said,
"Haha, when did our department start to take in disabled people?"
"But I think he has a handsome face. Sitting there, he looks like a talented person." said the short-haired woman.
"What's the use of having a pretty face? He's still a cripple." Lu Lijuan retorted, and then continued:
"I don't think she looks like Xia Guyu at all. I guess she's not his biological brother, but maybe his cousin." At this point, Lu Lijuan couldn't help rolling her eyes and complained:
"This reporter Xia is really something. She thinks the army is a place. She brings all kinds of people here. I think she just relies on her connections to do whatever she wants in the army and is overbearing."
Hearing this, Xia Guyu clenched her fists so tightly that her nails almost pierced into her flesh.
She promised Qingxi that she would take good care of her brother and knew that she shouldn't "make trouble", but this group of flies was really disgusting.
She was hesitating whether to go in, but she saw Xia Qingshu beside her walk in directly.
