In the end, Qiu YiBai kept the hot water bag.
When Shen NingXin saw that she was about to get angry, she immediately opened her mouth to explain.
She described how she first bought the hot water bag, the style she chose, and how she happened to get the wrong one.
She completely spelled out the ins and outs of this purchase.
Evidently, her desire to live was very strong.
Fortunately, Qiu YiBai paid attention the entire time, and by the end, her expression gradually eased out.
It seemed like she didn’t plan on arguing with her anymore.
Shen NingXin raised her eyes to secretly observe her little expression and finally let out of a breath of relief internally.
Just as she was about to speak again, she suddenly heard this person mutter something in a low voice, “So you just happened to buy it while shopping with a friend.”
“It wasn’t specifically for me.”
She even stressed the word “specifically”.
She seemed to still be angry!
Shen NingXin was about to cry.
She sighed, and as she did feel a bit embarrassed, she softly spoke again.
She asked her cautiously, “Why don’t you give it to me for now. I’ll change it to a prettier-looking one later, and I promise I won’t get it wrong this time!”
“And I’ll even buy it specifically just for you.”
Her tone carried an air of flattery and pampering that she didn’t realize.
Qiu YiBai was taken aback when she heard those words, and her cheeks suddenly felt warm.
She was silent for a few seconds, then nodded almost subconsciously.
Seeing her consent, Shen NingXin quickly stepped forward to take the hot water bag away.
But before she could touch it, as though suddenly remembering something, Qiu YiBai grabbed the pig and moved back a few steps.
Shen NingXin: “?”
Did she change her mind?
She paused, then asked, “President Qiu, is there something wrong?”
“It’s fine.” She then heard Qiu YiBai say, “Do you have a lot of money or something? Why buy so many hot water bags? It’s not like this one isn’t useable.”
“Plus . . . you already brought it here, it doesn’t make sense to take it back again.”
As she spoke, she placed the hot water bag on the table.
She’s actually keeping in.
And according to what she said, it seemed to be because she wanted to help her save money.
Upon realizing this, Shen NingXin suddenly felt moved.
“You can go now.” Qiu YiBai turned her head and glanced at her, evidently a little embarrassed, then waved her hand to shoo her away. “Hurry up and return to work.”
After speaking, she continued to type on the keyboard.
But she was still staring at Shen NingXin out of the corner on her eyes, as though wanting to see just when she was going to leave.
She looked . . . kinda cute.
Shen NingXin watched her and couldn’t resist smiling after a moment.
She stepped forward, not because she was in a hurry to leave, but instead, she reached her hand out and picked up the charger.
She then used a tone of voice as though she were coaxing a child and said, “Since you’ve accepted it, why not start using it now.”
“I’ll plug it in for you, alright?”
—
The hot water bag worked quite well, and Qiu YiBai’s complexion improved a lot, feeling comfortable the entire afternoon.
Seeing this, Shen NingXin was pleased, thinking that it was great that it proved useful.
As she was thinking, Zhao Jie suddenly waved to her. “Xiao Shen, my samples came and there’s quite a lot. Come down and get them with me.”
“Alright,” Shen NingXin answered with a nod, dismissing her thoughts and quickly standing up.
The two walked straight to the elevator and chatted about work.
Before the conversation got far, the elevator arrived.
Shen NingXin entered behind her, and just as she was about to ask her about how the order from Thailand should be dealt with, she saw Zhao Jie suddenly lean in.
Her voice was also gentle, and she spoke in a low voice, “Xiao Shen, have you heard about how Wang Xi is going to get a promotion?”
It was as though she were disclosing some top secret.
Shen NingXin nodded slightly and responded, but confusion quickly surged from the bottom of her mind.
It wasn’t a secret that Wang Xi was going to get a promotion. The entire office, including a new intern like her, knew about this.
Because everyone knew, that’s why she found Zhao Jie’s tone strange.
Sure enough, before she could think any further, Zhao Jie continued to say, “Then do you know who’s going to take over her current position?”
Ah, so the main point was here.
Shen NingXin didn’t speak and just shook her head.
“That person sits very close to you,” she said, beginning to frown, “And has neither the education level nor the capability.”
As soon as her voice fell, Shen NingXin was taken aback and soon a name appeared in her mind.
Zhao Jie glanced at her, then said with a cold laugh, “It seems like you’ve figured out who it is.”
“It’s that Pei Qing.”
“. . . . . .”
The samples were quite heavy, and after Shen NingXin and Zhao Jie carried them up, it was as though half of their lives were gone.
Shen NingXin deeply exhaled, and after placing the samples down, she sat back down at her workstation to relax, a thin layer of sweat present on her forehead.
As she considered folding a paper fan to use, a sudden coolness passed behind her before she could move.
When she turned to look, she saw Pei Qing with a fan in her hand and was fanning her, a kind-looking smile on her face.
She looked completely different from usual.
“Isn’t it hot,” she said, smiling as she stretched her hand out and stuffed the fan into Shen NingXin’s hand. “Use it and fan yourself.”
“I also have fruits here.” After she spoke, she suddenly took out a bag and stood up, placing an apple on Shen NingXin’s desk.
Her intentions were clear by now.
Shen NingXin thanked her, and upon looking back up, she saw that this person had already walked away with the bag, distributing things to other colleagues.
Seeing how she suddenly set out to build relations, it seemed like the rumor about her promotion was real.
Shen NingXin saw through her, but she didn’t say anything and didn’t think any more.
For she was just an intern in the end, so all she needed to do was fulfill her role. No matter who got a promotion, it had no connection to her.
But Zhao Jie, on the other hand, seeing Pei Qing act that way immediately clenched her hands and cursed lowly.
Shen NingXin heard her and quickly made out what she said.
She said: “Pretentious.”
—
The day quickly passed.
After work ended, Shen NignXin picked up her bag and went to the elevator. When she passed by the breakroom, she ran into Qiu YiBai.
This person was probably waiting for coffee. She stood there with a ceramic cup in her hand, her body straight, her side profile delicate, and her hair casually hung over her shoulders. Amongst her coldness and seriousness hid an almost unnoticeable gentleness.
Her aura was incredible.
So incredible that despite knowing her true character, Shen NingXin still couldn’t help wanting to praise what a beauty she was.
However, once she looked down, the beauty had a hot water bag tied to her waist, totally not matching with her aura.
It was a . . . a pig that seemed stupid no matter how you looked at it.
Why’d you have to bring it out with you!
Shen NingXin was immediately taken aback.
Fortunately, this person only temporarily tied it to her waist as she got coffee. After she filled her cup, she then untied the hot water bag.
After that, she even adjusted its direction, tucking the pig in her belt in a way where its frontside didn’t show.
Not bad, she still knew to hide it.
Shen NingXin let out a breath of relief, and after observing the pig, she suddenly discovered that something was attached to its face.
Before she could make it out, Qiu YiBai already covered it with her movements.
When she looked up again, she was standing before her.
Shen NingXin hurriedly greeted her, “President Qiu.”
“En.” Qiu YiBai nodded, accidentally sipping a little extra coffee when she pursed her lips.
Afterward, she raised her head and looked at her. Then, as though suddenly remembering something, she inexplicably smiled after a moment. “Shen NingXin, are you going home now?”
“Yes, I am,” Shen NingXin responded with a nod.
For some reason, she thought Qiu YiBai’s smile looked abnormal.
Was she secretly thinking of something bad again?
She raised her eyes, and before she could figure it out, Qiu YiBai had already turned and left.
Shen NingXin stared at her back for a moment, and finally decided to stop thinking about it, hurriedly leaving to catch the bus.
She soon arrived home.
She didn’t have much work on her hands today, so she wasn’t as tired as usual.
After eating dinner, Shen NingXin took a nice shower and quickly got into bed.
She opened a video player and searched up a drama.
It was recommended to her by Li Shan and the others. Supposedly, the plot was very comedic, where after watching it, you’d be laughing until your stomach hurt.
Shen NingXin didn’t believe it at first, but after tentatively watching it for a while, she ended up watching six episodes in one go.
There was only one phrase left in her head: what a slap in the face.
Afterward, she opened the group chat and commented a few good words about the drama. She then yawned and was about to turn off her phone and go to sleep.
However, her body seemed to have gotten used to something. Not only did she not close her phone, she instead clicked on Qiu YiBai’s dummy Weibo account.
It had been busy these past few days, so this person updated less frequently than before. Shen NingXin initially thought she wouldn’t see any new posts today, but when she clicked on it, she discovered there was an update.
It was actually set as the top post. She didn’t know when Qiu YiBai bought a VIP membership and actually learned to use such a function—
“Shen NingXin gave me a hot water bag today. Although it’s kind of ugly, it’s actually pretty useful.
Awesome, right, my stomach doesn’t hurt anymore!”
She even attached a photo at the end. Although the shot was kind of blurry, she could still make out that it was the little pig hot water bag.
Shen NingXin was so touched!
Finally there was a Weibo not criticizing her!
Shen NingXin’s immediately was in a good mood, her eyes curving into a crescent as she smiled. She then clicked on the photo while sighing.
After the photo was enlarged, it looked clearer than before. She saw a keyboard and mouse on the left side and Qiu YiBai’s ceramic cup on the right.
Sitting in the middle was the hot water bag. It even had the sticky note Shen NingXin saw by chance earlier attached to it.
What did it say?
Shen NingXin was a bit curious and quickly zoomed in to take a better look.
She then discovered that English was written on it . . . SNX.
She thought this was a technical term in trade and quickly exited to search it up. However, the more she looked the more she felt as though something wasn’t right.
Wasn’t the abbreviation of her name . . . also SNX?
What was Qiu YiBai trying to say by attaching her onto the hot water bag? She’s 90% probably saying that she was a pig, right?!
Could this person be any more childish!
Shen NingXin was almost going to die from anger.
She must had been blind to feel touched just now. Shen NingXin couldn’t get over it and exited Weibo to open WeChat, ready to make fun of her, too.
Moving her fingers, she deleted Qiu YiBai’s previous nickname. Then after thinking about it, she raised her hand and changed it to “3-year-old childish Qiu”.
Afterward, she felt as though it wasn’t in line with reality and clicked on it again, this time changing it to “Crybaby Qiu is only two-and-a-half years old”.
Now it was in line with reality.
After all, even a three-year-old child wasn’t as immature as her.
Two-and-a-half years was as old she could be.
In the end, Qiu YiBai kept the hot water bag.
When Shen NingXin saw that she was about to get angry, she immediately opened her mouth to explain.
She described how she first bought the hot water bag, the style she chose, and how she happened to get the wrong one.
