Chapter 142
Jiang You carried two takeout boxes into the office.
Xiang Peiqing was sitting in a chair, writing something with his head down. Hearing the door open, he looked up and smiled at him.
His smile froze when his gaze fell on the potted plant in Jiang You's arms.
Where did it come from?
Thinking this way, I asked the question aloud.
"Uh..." Jiang You placed the food on the table, stammering a little.
This all started when I was carrying my lunchbox out of the cafeteria and encountered students climbing over the wall, with security guards following behind.
The student saw her as if she were his savior, hurriedly shoved the potted plant he was carrying into her hands, and whispered, "Please keep this safe for me, and please keep it a secret. I'll come back for you, and there will be a big reward for you." Then he ran away.
When Jiang You heard Pei Qing's question, she instinctively lied and said, "It was a gift from a friend."
He regretted it as soon as he said it; he should have said he was keeping it safe for him.
Although Jiang You didn't know which student wanted to hide the bonsai, he felt that keeping it a secret would only benefit him, so he went along with it to do a favor.
The words had already been spoken and couldn't be changed. Fortunately, Xiang Peiqing had only asked casually.
Jiang You felt embarrassed. That's true. The big boss wouldn't notice a nobody like her. He'd probably just ask politely. Why was she so nervous?
She sat down to eat, her gaze frequently drifting to the potted plants. The thought of that classmate coming to see her, only to be met with shock and disbelief upon discovering she was a teacher, made her want to laugh with a mischievous grin.
The girl's eyes sparkled, and a smile curved her lips, gradually widening as she looked very happy.
Xiang Peiqing's gaze shifted from Jiang You's upturned lips to the unsightly potted plant, where he stared coldly with a gloomy face.
Jiang You took a bite of food, and suddenly, she shivered, feeling as if a cold wind was blowing past her.
She glanced around discreetly, and apart from Xiang Peiqing quietly eating with her head down, there was nothing suspicious, so she continued eating.
"Jiang You," Xiang Peiqing said after Jiang You finished eating, "I'll clean up here. You can take these materials to the teaching building next door and then you can rest."
Upon hearing this, Jiang You, being a very obedient person, immediately nodded, picked up the documents, and left.
Seeing that the person had left, Xiang Peiqing eagerly filled the water cup with hot water and, without hesitation, poured the steaming hot water, drop by drop, onto the roots of the unknown plant.
How could he not know what these men were thinking? Using a cheap potted plant to bind Jiang You.
They are absolutely vicious and have the heart of a snake.
Jiang You is so naive; she doesn't know how disgusting men can be, except for him, of course. So he has to protect her.
After watering the plants, Xiang Peiqing squinted his eyes with delight, as if he had won a battle, which made him extremely excited and happy.
He put down his water glass and saw that Jiang You had finished eating the chicken leg bone, with some meat still stuck to it.
He glanced at Pei Qing, then picked it up and took a bite.
Not enough.
He used his sharp teeth to bite the bone open, chewing it like gum until it was reduced to crumbs before finally spitting it out.
Then he stared at the bones left after Jiang You finished eating the ribs.
After Jiang You returned from delivering the documents, he saw Pei Qing sitting behind the computer, typing on the keyboard.
"Highly educated, so good-looking, and with such a good temper—what a wonderful person!" Jiang You praised inwardly.
After praising him, he felt a little depressed. Damn it, he had a strange attraction that only attracted lunatics like Xia Yan. Apart from Song Yun, who was a bit better, he didn't attract gentle and normal people like Xiang Peiqing at all.
Jiang You greeted Pei Qing and then returned to his dormitory with the potted plant in his arms.
