When Qiao Si stood at the door of Chen Xiaoxiao's house dragging two large suitcases, it was already dark. She rang the doorbell, and after waiting for about half a minute, the door finally opened.
"Zhenzhen!" A black face appeared in sight, and there was obvious joy in Chen Xiaoxiao's eyes, but she asked, "It's so late, why are you here?"
Qiao Si didn't reply. He held a suitcase in one hand and tried to squeeze in through the door.
When Chen Xiaoxiao saw this, he subconsciously blocked Qiao Si's way, "What are you going to do?"
"Why are you so nervous? I'm just here to stay with you for a while, and I'm not trying to make money or kill someone!" Qiao Si looked at Chen Xiaoxiao who was standing in front of him in confusion, and then noticed that she was wearing black at the moment.
The silk nightgown paired with the black mask on her face looked a little weird.
"Borrowing? What do you mean?" Chen Xiaoxiao was even more confused than Qiao Si.
At this moment, a male voice suddenly came from the room, "Xiaoxiao, what's wrong?"
Hearing this voice, Qiao Si blinked, looked away from Chen Xiaoxiao's face, and looked into the room. Soon, she saw Yu Wei.
It's just that...it was Yu Wei who had just come out of the bath, wrapped only in a bath towel.
Before she could react, she heard a "bang" and her sight was occupied by a door.
"Zhenzhen, please wait outside, I will open the door for you later!" Chen Xiaoxiao's voice came from the door, "Quickly, put on your clothes..."
Qiao Si's brain was sluggish for a few seconds. She stared at the door in front of her in astonishment, still holding the suitcase's tow bar in her hand.
Until the door opened again, she still maintained this posture and looked at Yu Wei.
"Qiao Si, I'm really sorry for neglecting you! Since you are here, I will go home first." Yu Wei had already put on his clothes and shoes, and finally looked at Chen Xiaoxiao reluctantly before leaving.
After Yu Wei left, Qiao Si and Chen Xiaoxiao looked at each other with different expressions. Qiao Si's eyes were full of exploration, but Chen Xiaoxiao looked a little stiff.
"Are you living together?" Qiao Si was the first to speak, asking sharply.
The corner of Chen Xiaoxiao's mouth twitched slightly, deliberately trying to appear careless, "It's not like living together, but he occasionally comes to stay at my place."
"Oh~" Qiao Si nodded exaggeratedly, but smiled meaningfully.
Chen Xiaoxiao was almost driven crazy by Qiao Si's laughter. She took off the mask on her face and asked angrily, "Why are you here this late at night? What does it mean to stay here?"
"I'm unemployed!" Qiao Si said these four words seriously.
"Didn't you say that you would wait until the mission was completely completed before resigning? Why have you packed your luggage just after returning from a business trip?" Chen Xiaoxiao crossed his arms and asked with raised eyebrows.
"I was fired by PricewaterhouseCoopers, and my lease has expired, so I have no intention of renewing the lease." Qiao Si said these words calmly, without any change in the expression on his face.
But when Chen Xiaoxiao heard this, he was shocked, "What? Are you fired?"
"Chen Xiaoxiao, how long do you plan to let me stand at the door?"
"Two years ago, you didn't want to live with me, so you had to rent a house by yourself. Now I don't welcome you here, but you are here!"
Although Chen Xiaoxiao said this, he had already snatched a suitcase from Qiao Si's hand and walked towards the room.
This is a 150-square-meter duplex house located in the center of Shangze. Ordinary people cannot afford it in their lifetime. But Chen Xiaoxiao’s family is well off, and this house is a graduation gift given to her by her father.
Two years ago, they had just graduated and got their favorite jobs. Chen Xiaoxiao invited Qiao Si to live with her several times, but Qiao Si rejected her because it was too far away from the office.
of good intentions.
In fact, if we say it's far, it's only half an hour away by subway. It's just that Qiao Si doesn't want to be treated like this, even if Chen Xiaoxiao is her best friend.
"How did you get fired? PricewaterhouseCoopers can fire anyone, but it has absolutely no reason to fire you!"
"Who says there is no reason? The reason they gave is that there was a deficit in the accounts for three days in my manuscript."
After following Chen Xiaoxiao upstairs and dragging the suitcase into a bedroom, Chen Xiaoxiao turned around suddenly and looked at her in disbelief, "Zhenzhen, are you kidding me? You are the best among the younger generation.
As an auditor, how could you make such a mistake?"
Qiao Si shook his aching arm, twisted his neck, and replied calmly, "Yeah, of course I won't make such a mistake. It's just that I offended the project manager."
"Why did you offend him?" Chen Xiaoxiao's expression gradually returned to normal. She walked to the window and closed the curtains. She took out a clean sheet from the closet and asked while making the bed.
"He claimed that I could help me get a supervisor's position on the grounds that my emotional intelligence was too low, but he asked me to spend the night with him. I refused."
Seeing that Chen Xiaoxiao had made the bed, Qiao Si fell down and lay on the clean and comfortable big bed.
"This manager is really dirty, he even dares to covet you! But... I don't think what he said is right!" Chen Xiaoxiao looked down at Qiao Si, with a glint in his eyes.
Qiao Si felt his scalp numb and a bad premonition suddenly emerged, but he still asked cooperatively, "What's wrong?"
"Qiao Si," Chen Xiaoxiao deliberately called her name, "You don't have low emotional intelligence. You just don't have it."
As expected, Qiao Si knew that Chen Xiaoxiao would not let go of any opportunity to harm her. Just as he was about to say something, his stomach growled a few times.
"Xiaoxiao, have you eaten?"
"My eldest lady, don't you look at what time it is! It's ten past ten! It's already dark!"
Qiao Si curled her lips, looking a little pitiful, "Oh, okay. I have been busy all day, going through the resignation procedures, checking out the rented house..."
The implication is: she hasn't eaten all day.
Chen Xiaoxiao shook her head helplessly, her voice softened a lot, "You take a rest first, I'll get you something to eat."
After Chen Xiaoxiao finished speaking, she left. Qiao Si looked at her disappearing back. While her heart felt at ease, her mind became heavier and heavier. Finally, she closed her eyes and fell asleep.
