The watch was given by Meng Fanxue.
She gifted him a custom Patek Philippe watch with the initials of Lin Xiao's name engraved on the dial.
It looks expensive.
Lin Xiao didn't know much about watches, but after searching online, he estimated that this watch was worth at least several hundred thousand yuan, and possibly several million yuan.
His feelings were somewhat complicated.
Receiving a gift is naturally a pleasant experience.
But receiving such a valuable gift made him feel somewhat indebted.
Even if Meng Fanxue is very rich, as she spends more and more money on him, her desire for feedback from him naturally increases.
He was just a substitute for Feng Qi; what could he possibly give her?
Recently, he noticed that his clients rarely mentioned Feng Qi anymore; they all started calling him Lin Xiao by his given name.
Is this a good thing or a bad thing?
Lin Xiao tried on the watch and found that he quite liked it.
The dial is exquisite, with the Patek Philippe brand name on it, but if someone who doesn't know much about watches doesn't look closely, they probably won't be able to tell what kind of watch it is.
Anyway, Lin Xiao didn't know that Patek Philippe watches looked like this before he came into contact with this watch.
Lin Xiao sent a message to Meng Fanxue to express his gratitude.
Mr. Fan, did you come to my school tonight? Or was it Aunt Zhao who came? Anyway, thank you so much for the gift, I really like it.
P.S. Thanks to you, I didn't get yelled at by the dorm supervisor tonight. Just between us, did you bribe her with a gift? [laughing emoji]
Snow Dance Manor, in a spacious bedroom.
Meng Fanxue was practicing bedtime yoga in bed when she saw the message notification, so she stopped and glanced at it.
She smiled, her eyes crinkling, and typed a reply.
"Hmm. I suddenly wanted to see you, so I came to your school to find you. But you weren't there, and I didn't want to disturb your gathering with your classmates, so I didn't call you."
The gift was delivered by Aunt Zhao. As for the chubby dorm supervisor, I gave her a box of cherries and asked her to open the door for me. [doge emoji]
bite--
Lin Xiao put the scarf Bai Youyou gave him into the closet, picked up his phone and replied:
[Fan is so awesome. Giving away just one box is too extravagant; the dorm supervisor is making a killing. From now on, she'll probably be hoping we 808 dorm folks go out and party every day and come back late. I'm going to take a shower, Fan, get some rest. Goodnight. (emoji)]
When Meng Fanxue saw Lin Xiao's reply, she laughed out loud and replied with a "sleeping" emoji.
But the text message on the emoji was "Can I sleep with you?", which made Lin Xiao's breath catch in his throat.
Ah, this...
Has she started tentatively extending her little feet as well?
Oh.
really.
There are no free gifts in the world.
If so, it means you'll have to repay with something even more valuable.
Zweig was right; every gift that fate bestows has already been secretly priced.
After a moment of silence, Lin Xiao chose to ignore it, turned off his phone, picked up his clothes, and went to take a shower.
After taking a shower, Lin Xiao lay on the bed and thought about the seven clients for a while. But after a whole day of commotion, he was really tired and fell asleep in less than three minutes.
Lin Xiao slept in for the first time ever.
He turned off his alarm clock before going to bed last night and slept until 8:30.
When I woke up, my roommates had already gone to work at the giant chrysanthemum factory.
After washing up, he leisurely slurped up a bowl of noodles, then went back to his dorm to work on his graduation project.
Before I knew it, it was eleven o'clock, and the silly junior sister sent me a message.
See you in 901, senior!
Lin Xiao stared at the message and fell into deep thought.
Didn't you already finish knitting the scarf?
Why are you going to the Youth Education Apartment area?
Does the younger female student no longer like going to the library to read books?
The nerdy junior has changed.
However, Lin Xiao didn't ask any more questions, packed his things, and arrived at 901 on time.
To be honest, he didn't really like being stared at.
The group of boys in the library always stared at him like he was a monkey in a zoo, as if they wanted to see something out of him. He always felt uncomfortable, but he just pretended to be calm.
After changing into slippers, Lin Xiao walked into the study and saw the silly junior girl sitting at her desk reading a book.
The study contained two identical solid wood desks and two ergonomic chairs.
Seeing him come in, Bai Youyou turned her head to look at him and said with a smile, "Senior, you're here. Sit over there."
She stretched out her slender hand and pointed to the empty seat next to her.
Lin Xiao hummed in agreement, took out a philosophy book from his bag, sat up straight, and began to read.
Great, it's just like when we were in the library.
It's great that I can earn money without talking or cooking.
The two looked at their own things, and the atmosphere was harmonious and quiet enough to hear the birds chirping outside the window downstairs.
A moment later, Bai Youyou suddenly closed her book and asked, "Senior, what are we having for lunch today?"
Lin Xiao was taken aback, then smiled and asked, "What would you like to eat, junior?"
"I want to eat pork ribs."
Seeing the expectation in her clear, bright eyes, Lin Xiao couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Spare ribs are a bit troublesome to cook. Would you like to help, junior? I can assist you."
Bai Youyou pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay."
As she spoke, she stood up and took Lin Xiao's hand.
Lin Xiao looked at the hand that the naive junior was holding on his wrist, and his eyes flickered.
Before she could react, she had already pulled her into the living room.
Lin Xiao calmly withdrew his hand and smiled, "I'll take out the ribs and other ingredients first. Junior, go cook the rice."
