50: Chapter 50 This guy can be shy too?

Xia Ning turned to look at Qin Xun, and seeing the smile on his face made her feel even more awkward.

She thought for a moment, then said lightly.

"There's a really good roasted meat shop at the entrance of Xiangyu Shangcheng. I'm planning to get some takeout for dinner."

Qin Xun often moonlights as a delivery driver after work. Although he mostly slacks off, he's still familiar with famous restaurants in various places.

He reminded her, "That place isn't very clean."

Xia Ning froze, then forced herself to say.

"I... love to eat it."

Qin Xun: "..."

Little Xia usually seems quite neat, but unexpectedly, she's such a... uninhibited foodie.

Suddenly.

Xia Ning looked at Qin Xun and smiled.

"I'll treat you."

Qin Xun: "..."

"Thank you!"

He smiled.

"Actually, it's not that unclean. No disease from eating unclean food!"

Xia Ning also smiled.

The car seemed filled with pleasant air.

...

A roasted meat shop on the left side of the main gate of Xiangyu Shangcheng.

Xia Ning ordered half a roasted goose, half a white-cut chicken, and a pound of char siu, paying 249 yuan.

"Boss, please cut it carefully."

Qin Xun, sitting in the shop, watched with wide eyes.

This girl only earns 3500 a month, and she dares to be so extravagant?

After she paid, the boss started cutting and packing, which would take about ten minutes.

Xia Ning walked to the opposite chair and sat down.

Three seconds later.

Before the seat was even warm, she stood up expressionlessly, saying somewhat stiffly and mechanically.

"Forget it, I suddenly don't feel like eating. You eat it alone!"

"I'm going home!"

After speaking.

Without waiting for Qin Xun to react, she got up and walked out of the shop, afraid that Qin Xun would follow her.

She wanted to hide in her room before Qin Xun got home.

As she reached the door, she suddenly heard Qin Xun shout loudly.

"I forgive you!"

Xia Ning paused, turned back, and saw Qin Xun sitting in the chair with a smile, looking puzzled.

He continued.

"I forgive you for pushing me into the water!"

Xia Ning stared at Qin Xun for a while, said nothing, and turned to leave.

Forgive?

What do I need you to forgive?

You deserved it!

...

Qin Xun carried a large bag of roasted meat, then went to the convenience store at the entrance to buy five cans of iced beer, returning happily to the rental house.

As soon as he entered.

Walking into the living room, he keenly noticed a 360-degree surveillance camera installed on the ceiling, covering every angle.

He frowned slightly, glancing at the tightly closed door of his roommate's room across from his own.

That mysterious roommate should be in the room today.

He looked down at the beer and roasted meat, feeling a bit hesitant.

"Should I share it with him to foster roommate camaraderie?"

Qin Xun slowly walked to his door, saw light leaking from under the door, reached out to knock, then put his hand down.

Forget it!

If it's a man, it's fine.

But what if it's a woman, and she comes out in her pajamas?

And I'm inviting her for a drink? Isn't that nefarious?

What if I get sued for sexual harassment and sentenced?

Even if it's a man.

What if he's busy working?

In the bedroom.

Xia Ning sat at the table, looking at the surveillance footage on her computer. When she saw Qin Xun walk to her door with the food and actually try to knock, her heart skipped a beat.

She decided to play dead!

She had just taken wedding photos with him today.

Her feelings were complicated, and she didn't want him to know that he and she were living under the same roof.

She would hide for a few days first.

Seeing Qin Xun hesitate, put his hand down, and turn back to his own room across the hall.

Xia Ning finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly.

She frowned again.

"Oh no!"

"I haven't showered yet."

...

Qin Xun returned to his room, eating roasted meat and drinking beer, thoroughly enjoying himself.

He called up the slacking panel and was shocked!

[slacking-off value: 1000]

[Note: You can draw a prize when you reach 50,000 slacking-off value]

Didn't he work diligently all day today?

He only slacked off for a little while in the morning.

But that kind of slacking could only increase the slacking-off value by a few dozen points!

In the afternoon, he was locked in a battle of wits with Song Ying.

In the evening, he was locked in a battle of wits with Xia Ning.

Shouldn't all of this count as work?

How could it be considered slacking off?

Could it be...

Song Ying has some magical quality?

That can greatly increase his slacking-off efficiency?

Is it because she's a rich woman?

...

After eating and drinking his fill.

Qin Xun habitually grabbed a pair of clean briefs, burped, and slowly walked to the bathroom for a shower.

All the clothes he took off were thrown into the washing machine.

Five minutes later, the bathroom door opened.

He swaggered out again, passed the living room, and suddenly looked up to see the camera.

His expression changed slightly.

"Usually, people who install surveillance cameras in rental houses should be women, right?"

He turned around, rushed into the bathroom, grabbed a towel, wrapped it around his lower body, barely covering himself.

He covered his chest with both hands, lowered his head, and rushed into the bedroom.

After closing the door, Qin Xun leaned against the door, pulled off the slightly damp towel, and looked down at his briefs.

They were printed with cute cartoon pictures.

"That was close, my image as a tough guy almost collapsed."

...

In Xia Ning's bedroom.

She held her somewhat flushed face with both hands, staring at the computer monitor, frowning slightly.

It would have been better if Qin Xun hadn't wrapped the towel around himself; with it on, it felt like he was vacuum-sealed inside.

So suggestive.

She sighed.

"He openly uploads pool videos online, calling people 'baby,' but at home, he's all shy and even covers his chest?"

She shook her head, got up, and walked to the wardrobe.

Among a dozen colorful and various pajamas, she chose a black one.

The style was very conservative, the kind nuns would like.

Xia Ning looked at the bedroom door and sighed.

"When will I get a chance to shower?"

...

The next day.

Qin Xun woke up well-rested and went to wash up, finding the sink a bit damp and a faint fragrance in the air.

His roommate's toothpaste and toothbrush were on the sink.

The toothbrush was a green electric one.

Green?

Still couldn't tell if it was male or female.

He smiled.

"This guy gets up pretty early!"

After brushing his teeth, he checked the time: 8:40.

Qin Xun was startled.

"Holy crap! I overslept!"

"I'm going to be late!"

...

With sparks and lightning all the way, Qin Xun finally arrived at the company just in time.

Walking into the company, he saw that Xia Ning was indeed already at her desk. She was becoming more and more like an excellent employee.

Truly, proximity to vermilion makes one red!

He sat down, opened his computer, and stared solemnly at the time in the bottom right corner of the screen.

Xia Ning saw that although he was wearing a mask, his eyes were bright and spirited, which she found a bit strange. She followed his gaze.

She became even more confused!

It merely displayed the time.

8:59

Three seconds later.

The time jumped to 9:00.

Qin Xun immediately turned his head and instructed Xia Ning.

"Little Xia, please apply to Sister Cheng for an emergency meeting this morning. All company personnel must attend."

Xia Ning glanced at the time 9:00 on the computer and sighed.

This guy!

He could pretend to work overtime, but he would absolutely not start work before the official start time.

Not even a second.

She looked at Qin Xun.

"All company personnel?"

"But President Niu isn't here today. She might not be able to make it this morning, so maybe we should reschedule for the afternoon?"

Qin Xun heard this, took off his mask, and threw it into the trash can.

He crossed his legs.

"No need!"

"She doesn't need to attend!"

"A good company president should be like they're dead, never appearing at the company."

Xia Ning looked at Qin Xun, her temples throbbing.

Sigh...

One day he'll curse me to death!

She asked.

"What's the content of the meeting?"

Qin Xun looked at Xia Ning, thought of her little temper yesterday, and moved his chair further away before saying.

"To invite colleagues to our wedding!"
