Chapter 12 She is not blessed
“No, I didn’t see it clearly…” Yin Xiaoxiao said tremblingly, “I was scared when I saw it was Brother Jingshen’s car, and I ran back quickly. If he found me, I would…”
Yin Xiaoxiao was still frightened and ran back to the lobby of the Electronics Building in one breath before she breathed a sigh of relief.
"But I saw that it was a young girl, very slim, with long hair, dressed very casually, and thrown into the crowd, I couldn't find her."
"Oh... is it really that ordinary?" On the other end of the phone, Gu Jia was lying on a soft bed with a Hello Kitty pattern, letting the beautician massage her forehead and cheeks. The room was filled with the warm aroma of plant essential oils.
"Really, anyway, I glanced at it twice and didn't leave any impression." Yin Xiaoxiao smiled flatteringly, thought for a while and said, "Sister Jiajia, the last time I went to the Song family's old house with my dad, I heard Uncle Song say that your engagement was made by Aunt Gu before she died. Brother Jingshen listens to Aunt Gu the most and will definitely fulfill it as scheduled."
Gu Jia smiled comfortably, but she remained reserved: "Really? I was also in the old house at that time, but I didn't hear anything."
Yin Xiaoxiao quietly rolled her eyes, complained in her heart that it was "hypocrisy", and then smiled into the microphone and said, "Maybe Uncle Song was afraid that you would be shy. Aunt Zhou Wen said that you were watching swans by the lake, and the adults were chatting and didn't invite you to come."
"Humph! Zhou Wen's good swan chased me, biting and screaming, causing me to sprain my ankle." Gu Jia sat up angrily, waved her hand to signal the beautician to leave, and continued, "If it weren't for this, how could someone else get a turn in tomorrow's performance."
"Forget about it if you can't make it to the show," Yin Xiaoxiao comforted, "Brother Jingshen probably has no interest in the show. Wait until your foot is healed before making an appointment with him. It will definitely be more fun than the show."
Gu Jia sighed, playing with a diamond-encrusted Hello Kitty doll, and said casually, "It's the only way. If I could leave the house, I wouldn't ask you to help keep an eye on him."
"It's not really helping, I just happened to see you..." Yin Xiaoxiao smiled bitterly with a pale face, wondering who would be so bold as to admit to following Song Jingshen? She just drank Gu Jia's milk tea and promised to let her know if she saw Song Jingshen.
"However," Gu Jia changed the subject and her tone, "Who would have thought that staring at something like this would actually reveal something dirty!"
Yin Xiaoxiao's face turned stern and she froze for a moment, not knowing how to respond.
"I'm sorry to trouble you again, Xiaoxiao. Remember to take a photo next time." Gu Jia said with a smile, and that smile sounded creepy.
If it happens again next time, I will definitely take a detour. If I tell you a single word, my surname will not be Yin!
Yin Xiaoxiao swore secretly in her heart, but she kept responding: "Okay, okay, no problem."
"Uncle Yin is Uncle Song's man, and you and I have a good relationship," Gu Jia said, "In a while, my family will celebrate Uncle Huaiyuan's birthday. Many big names in the scientific research field will come. I'll ask Dad to invite you all to get together."
Wow! Even gods can't help but be excited by such a thick olive branch!
Yin Xiaoxiao admired her own calmness and did not jump up on the spot. Instead, she smiled gracefully and thanked him: "That's great. We will give Professor Gu a gift when the time comes. I use his students' study room every day for extra lessons, so I should show my appreciation."
The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone. When the other party hung up, Yin Xiaoxiao found that her hand was numb.
She shook her hands vigorously and said to herself, "No wonder Dad is so hard-working. These rich young men are so difficult to get along with..."
At this moment, a slender figure came in from outside the door.
"Sorry, I'm late today!" Wen Qing walked over hurriedly, apologizing repeatedly.
"Fortunately, your ticket has been settled." Wen Qing took a breath and said, "Tomorrow night, after you enter, go directly to the front row and wait. Someone will arrange seats for you."
"Is this true? Can you get in without a ticket?" Yin Xiaoxiao widened her eyes in disbelief, her double eyelids stretched open like a pair of round copper bells.
"Really!" Wen Qing was amused by her expression and explained, "The organizer has reserved a seat, so don't worry."
"Do you know someone from the organizer?" Yin Xiaoxiao was extremely surprised. She heard from her father that the organizer was the second generation of a certain fund company. It was unlikely that Wen Qing would know him.
"How can I know the organizer? My senior asked someone to contact them..." Wen Qing avoided the question and said, "It's getting late. We have to go to class quickly and make up for the time we were late."
"Yeah." Seeing that she was anxious, Yin Xiaoxiao wanted to help her take the backpack, but suddenly saw her arm and was immediately startled: "What's wrong with your arm? Who did it?"
Wen Qing lowered her head to cover it, with an awkward smile flashing across her lips - just now Song Jingshen was like a madman and insisted on applying liquid soap on the wound at the corner of her lip, and when she got out of the car, he dragged her back.
Fortunately, he didn't mess around anymore. He hurriedly applied ointment on her and took out a concealer stick.
Wen Qing looked at him in surprise, but he remained calm: "What are you looking at? This is a brand-name product given to you by others. It won't ruin your face!"
Wen Qing insisted on applying the paint herself, but he was not happy: "Why are you shy? We've already kissed each other." Seeing Wen Qing getting anxious, he added, "You have to turn on the light when you apply the paint yourself. Aren't you afraid that someone outside will see you?"
After hearing this, Wen Qing immediately let go, closed her eyes and let him apply it until he was satisfied.
However, after applying the paint on the corners of my lips, the red marks on my arms gave me the real deal. Fortunately, this matter was easier to explain.
"I was walking in the woods just now and accidentally scratched it." Wen Qing covered the red mark and said softly.
Yin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a long time before she said in a comforting tone, "Luckily, the skin wasn't scratched, otherwise I would have to get a tetanus shot."
Wen Qing smiled, said nothing more, and pulled her towards the study room.
Yin Xiaoxiao glanced at the red mark for a few times, and suddenly thought of Song Jingshen's outstretched hand in the black G-Class just now - what kind of branch could scratch it like that? It was obviously a man's finger mark!
Arriving at the study room, Wen Qing took out the key from her bag and opened the door. Yin Xiaoxiao stood behind her with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
"Sister Xiao Wen, do you have a boyfriend?"
Wen Qing's heart started to panic, and the key chain fell to the ground with a clang.
"No...No. What's the matter? Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"Nothing, I just think that Sister Xiao Wen is so beautiful and has so many boys chasing after her, she should be escorted by someone at night."
Escort... Wen Qing smiled bitterly when she heard this: "How could I be so lucky?"
She picked up the key chain on the ground, took out the right key and inserted it into the keyhole. She turned it a few times, the lock clicked, and the door opened.
"They say one key opens one lock. In my opinion, it's safest to hold the key yourself." Wen Qing muttered to herself and slowly walked into the door.
Yin Xiaoxiao looked at her back, and a thunderbolt rolled through her heart - she suddenly felt as if she seemed to have gotten to know Wen Qing all over again.
