Chapter 24
By the time he had set the table, Xia Ruirui finally woke up.
She was still sleeping, and when she heard the noise, she thought there was a thief in her house, so she picked up a tennis racket and ran out of the bedroom.
Because her eyes had not yet adapted to the light, Xia Ruirui squinted her right eye and only opened her left eye.
I saw someone in the kitchen wearing an apron, looking out of place.
Xia Ruirui: “…”
She didn't even know that someone also had a hobby of being a snail girl.
Shen Yuqing carried the served rice, glanced at Xia Ruirui who was standing barefoot on the tiles, and frowned.
"Go put on your shoes."
"..." She teased inwardly, 'You also like being a housekeeper.'
Xia Ruirui put on her shoes obediently, placed her tennis racket casually on the sofa beside her, and sat down at the dining table.
She looked at the table full of delicious fish and meat and couldn't help drooling.
She hadn't eaten home-cooked meals for many years, let alone dishes that were so delicious and tasty.
It's so luxurious.
She picked up the bowl, picked up a sparerib, and then used a spoon to scoop a spoonful of sauce and poured it on the rice.
As she swallowed, she could even feel the rice covered in sauce dancing on the tip of her tongue.
It's so fragile that it can be broken with a tooth.
The ribs are tender yet chewy, like a work of culinary magic.
Shen Yuqing sat opposite her, also holding up his bowl, eating quietly, and occasionally glancing at Xia Ruirui opposite him.
Even when she was eating, her face was full of drama.
Thinking of something, Shen Yuqing asked lightly: "Xia Ruirui, did you brush your teeth before dinner?"
Hearing this, Xia Ruirui nodded quickly.
"Swiped it."
Shen Yuqing looked at her without saying anything, but his expression was a little amused.
Shit.
But he didn't expose Xia Ruirui.
After all, a liar will bite people if he is exposed.
Xia Ruirui opposite her quickened her eating pace and didn’t look at Shen Yuqing.
After finishing her meal, Xia Ruirui hid in the bathroom.
When she came out with the toothbrush, Shen Yuqing pretended to be casual and asked, "Why did you brush it again?"
Xia Ruirui looked at him and said seriously, "The dentist said that you should always keep the good habit of brushing your teeth after meals."
"Really?" Shen Yuqing was somewhat impressed by someone's ability to lie with open eyes.
Hearing this, he just nodded lightly and looked at her with pretended admiration.
After dinner, Xia Ruirui went to the refrigerator and took out a banana.
When she finished eating the banana, Shen Yuqing also went down and brought the wheelchair out of the trunk.
Looking at the wheelchair, Xia Ruirui looked curious: "What are you going to do with the wheelchair?"
Shen Yuqing looked at her: "We are going to rehearse later."
"Rehearsal? What rehearsal?"
"The 15th eSports League will be held in your Beiyi."
"..." Xia Ruirui looked confused, "I didn't say I agreed to go to rehearsal with you."
Shen Yuqing looked at her with a matter-of-fact look on his face: “Haven’t you heard a saying?”
"What?"
"A man who has eaten someone's food is grateful for his kindness."
"..." Xia Ruirui was stunned and looked at him in disbelief.
really.
He really has abnormal development.
Getting more shameless.
Even she is a little inferior to him.
She sat in a wheelchair with a sour face and let Shen Yuqing push her out of the house.
When they got in the car, she refused his help out of spite and climbed onto the passenger seat using her hands and feet.
“…”
Shen Yuqing closed the car door for her and folded the wheelchair into the trunk.
When they arrived at the destination, he pushed her into the main venue.
Today is just a rehearsal, and not many people came. Apart from the contestants, the rest are the staff of the organizer.
Shen Yuqing pushed Xia Ruirui to the camp of her studio, and several employees looked at her curiously.
Assistant Zhang Xiaotiao had seen her before. Last time at the banquet, Xia Ruirui had indirectly helped him deal with Wang Kelly, so he had a very good impression of her.
Besides, Xia Ruirui was pretty. Zhang Xiaotiao smiled brightly the moment he saw her, and even secretly introduced her to the intern Yang Chunchun next to him.
"This is the fairy sister-in-law I mentioned to you before, the beautiful and kind-hearted one. Brother Chen should be pursuing her."
"Little Zhangzi, that's great. You're at the forefront of gossip." Yang Chunchun agreed in a low voice, "Look at Brother Chen pushing her over. There might really be something going on."
However, they did not dare to be too presumptuous in front of the boss, and they spoke these words in low voices.
Wait until the two of them get closer.
"Brother Chen, you're finally here. Someone from the organizer just came to look for you." Zhang Xiaotiao said.
After saying that, he took the initiative to greet Xia Ruirui in the wheelchair: "Sister Ruirui, what's wrong with your leg?"
How could Xia Ruirui tell Chen Yuqing's employees that her corpus luteum was ruptured? Seeing that he mistakenly thought she had a fracture, she said, "I accidentally fell."
Unlike the sour face she had just given to Shen Yuqing, Xia Ruirui was much friendlier towards the assistant, and smiled and nodded at Yang Chunchun who was secretly observing her from the side.
Seeing that she took the initiative to greet him, Yang Chunchun breathed a sigh of relief and took the initiative to come over and push her to their seats.
Xia Ruirui just didn't want Shen Yuqing to push her, and she felt a little good when she saw her pushing her: "Thank you."
"You're welcome. Sister Ruirui, my name is Yang Chunchun. You can call me Chunchun or Xiao Yang."
"Okay, Chun-Chun."
Chen Yuqing glanced indifferently at Xia Ruirui, who had 'infiltrated the inner circle', pulled Zhang Xiaotiao over, gave him a few words of advice, and then headed towards the organizer.
After he left, the assistant and the intern breathed a sigh of relief.
Yang Chunchun looked at Xia Ruirui and asked curiously, "Sister Ruirui, are you and Brother Shen together?"
The young assistant also pricked up his ears and listened to the gossip.
Xia Ruirui was stunned for a moment. She really didn't expect that among the rigid Shen Yuqing's subordinates, there would be such a straightforward girl.
As soon as Yang Chunchun asked the question, she realized her gaffe. Her body became a little stiff because she was worried about being scolded.
Xia Ruirui realized her nervousness and made a joke: “I’m not as rigid as Shen Yuqing, don’t be nervous.”
"Shen Yuqing and I were high school classmates, but we're not together." She even winked at her mid-sentence, "I'm still a single lady."
Yang Chunchun was struck by her gaze, lowered his head a little embarrassedly, and his cheeks turned red instantly.
“…”
“…”
Xia Ruirui and the assistant looked at her in amazement.
"This is the first time I've seen a girl whose face suddenly turns red." Xia Ruirui even reflected on whether she had gone too far.
She didn't do anything, just blinked.
When I teased Shen Yuqing in high school before, his reaction was not so exaggerated.
It turns out that kids nowadays are not very good at being teased.
She looked at the shy intern and considerately handed her a bottle of water.
Yang Chunchun took the water, said he wanted to go to the bathroom, and ran away.
After she left, Xia Ruirui was stunned for a moment, then looked at Zhang Xiaotiao, who was also bewildered. "Does your colleague usually blush this easily?"
"No, Chunchun is never one for crazy lovers." Zhang Xiaotiao looked at Xia Ruirui curiously. "Sister Ruirui, what did you do to her just now?"
"..." Xia Ruirui looked innocent, "I didn't do anything."
"Just blinking once..." But she didn't say the second half of the sentence.
Not long after Yang Chunchun left, Xia Ruirui saw an acquaintance.
"Hey, who is this? He's actually sitting in a wheelchair."
“…”
Zhang Xiaotiao looked at the sarcastic woman and remembered that she was the mean woman who had embarrassed him at the last dinner party.
He looked at her with a tense body, and thinking of Brother Chen's instructions just now, he blocked Xia Ruirui behind him.
Wang Kelly stared at him, obviously recognizing him. She snorted lightly, walked around him and came in front of Xia Ruirui.
"Little Cripple, I'm going to take you out for some fresh air, do you want to go?"
Xia Ruirui looked at her and said unhappily, "Wang Kelly, your birthday is younger than mine, okay?"
“…Are you going or not?”
"go."
The young assistant looked at the two people who were arguing with each other but seemed to have a good relationship with each other in confusion.
"By the way, let me introduce you." Xia Ruirui pulled the arrogant Wang Kelly and said to Zhang Xiaotiao, "This unruly princess is also my friend, Wang Kelly."
"Come on, who is being so unruly?!" Wang Kelly was obviously dissatisfied.
Xia Ruirui pretended not to hear, picked her ears calmly, and introduced the young assistant to her.
"This is Zhang Xiaotiao, Shen Yuqing's assistant."
"Yo yo yo, you and Shen Yuqing really have rekindled your old love, and you even know his assistant."
The assistant swallowed hard when he realized he had heard some incredible gossip.
“…” Xia Ruirui looked at Wang Kelly with a headache and said with a fake smile, “Let’s go, sister. I’m bored too.”
Hearing Xia Ruirui calling her sister, Wang Kelly looked very proud and pushed her out of the venue.
After the two left, Yang Chunchun also came back from the bathroom. Seeing that Zhang Xiaotiao was the only one left, she looked around but couldn't find Sister Ruirui.
"Xiao Zhangzi, where is Sister Ruirui?"
"My sister-in-law was taken away by a bad woman."
"Bad woman? Who?"
"That's right..." Zhang Xiaotiao realized that a few words wouldn't explain it clearly, so he brushed it off and said, "Anyway, there's just this one person."
"By the way, why were you blushing just now?" Thinking of his colleague's strange behavior just now, Zhang Xiaotiao looked at her suspiciously.
Yang Chunchun thought about what had just happened and couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He looked around and leaned over to Zhang Xiaotiao and whispered, "Don't you think..."
"What do you feel?" Zhang Xiaotiao held his breath, suppressing the itchy feeling in his ears.
"Sister Ruirui is really beautiful." She said this feeling a little embarrassed.
“…”
Do I need to tell you this?
He thought it was something big.
Thinking of what the bad woman said just now, he shared gossip with the new intern: "The bad woman just now also said that Sister Ruirui and our Brother Chen had a relationship."
“Is this true or false?”
"It must be true. It seems like the three of them went to the same high school."
"So exciting!!!" For some reason, Yang Chunchun felt a little lost deep in his heart.
*
Outside the venue, Wang Kelly was pushing Xia Ruirui around.
This is a newly developed area of Beiyi, which is still in its early stages. The venue is built by the sea and there are not many people around.
The sea breeze blew on her face. Xia Ruirui closed her eyes comfortably, feeling the rare scenery.
"What's wrong with you?" She opened her eyes, looked at the vast ocean, and asked casually.
As early as when Wang Kelly came over, she noticed that something was wrong with her.
Wang Kelly pushed her to the beach, immobilized her wheelchair, and sat on the beach next to her.
She was not surprised when Xia Ruirui exposed her. Instead, she took out a pack of cigarettes from her coat and lit one in the sea breeze.
As the sky grew darker, the small flames stood out in the dim light.
Xia Ruirui didn't urge her, but just held her chin and looked at the scenery.
"The Mr. Li I married actually has a son, born to his ex-wife."
Wang Kelly supported herself with one hand, blew out a puff of smoke, and said leisurely, "When I met Lao Li, he was depressed all day long because of his ex-wife who had been in a car accident."
"Although I met him a year after his wife died, his son didn't believe me and always thought I was his mistress."
Xia Ruirui looked in the direction of Wang Kelly. Her friend was wearing heavy makeup, but her haggardness could not be concealed.
Wang Kaili turned her face away, her eyes dull. “I was young then, and I thought that marrying Lao Li would give me a better life.”
"But now... I want a divorce, even if it means leaving the house with nothing." He said this lightly, but with great determination.
Xia Ruirui looked at her and chuckled: "Then divorce."
Wang Kelly sneered and looked at Xia Ruirui with a smile: "Why don't you persuade me?"
"I advise you, will you listen?"
"Won't."
Both of them laughed at the same time.
Wang Kelly hooked her arms around her neck, put her head over, and stared at the sea with her in a daze.
