Chapter 91: What Are You So Happy About?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Just then, her phone rang again. Qi Shenbai was giving her a voice call.
Xu Jiaojiao’s face flushed red. She was in no mood to pick up the phone right now, so she immediately rejected the call.
On the other side, Qi Shenbai did not give up and continued to call.
Every time he called, he was rejected.
Whenever Xu Jiaojiao thought that Qi Shenbai could see her changing, she wanted to hide in the ground.
Qi Shenbai called but received no response, so he sent a message.
[Why did you end the call?]
[I had to deal with something just now, and when I came back, the call had been ended. I tried calling you again, but you won’t pick up. Did something happen?]
Xu Jiaojiao convinced herself to read Qi Shenbai’s messages.
Wait, was he saying that he had not seen anything?
[Did you leave the room?]
[That’s right. I wasn’t looking just now. 1 just came back a few seconds ago to see you lying on the bed.”
[Oh, I see. I’m fine, don’t worry, I just took a shower, and I’m getting ready to sleep now.] After sending that message, Xu Jiao jiao lay on the bed in relief.
Soon, Qi Shenbai sent her another message. [Goodnight.]
[Good night.]
On the other end, Qi Shenbai turned off his phone. When he thought of the erotic scene just now, his face felt a little hot.
He had not gone out just now at all. While he was eating, he would glance at the screen from time to time. It was just a second, but he had caught a glimpse of Xu Jiaojiao’s back. Her slender waist and fair skin were like a gem in his eyes, beautiful and mysterious.
She had not noticed him at all. The moment she changed into her pajamas and covered her graceful figure, Qi Shenbai felt an emptiness in his heart, and a hot flame began to burn in his body.
He had not touched a woman in years. Tonight, Xu Jiaojiao’s figure lit a flame in him, making him feel things he had never felt before.
However, when Xu Jiaojiao finally realized that she had not turned off the video, she was scared stiff and immediately ended the video call. Thankfully, she replied to his message in the end.
Qi Shenbai did not want to scare her, so he had to lie and say he did not see anything.
Qi Shenbai lowered his eyes with a meaningful smile. When he thought of Xu Jiaojiao’s vexed expression, he could not help but want to tease her.
“Clatter—”
The office door was pushed open forcefully and Xu Zhengyang walked in. When he saw Qi Shenbai’s smiling face, he pursed his lips and said, “You worked me to the bone, so what are you so happy about?”
Qi Shenbai glanced at him and his expression became calm again. He said lightly, “Why are you still here?”
Xu Zhengyang sat down on the chair and rolled his eyes. “You still have the cheek to ask? I’m exhausted working in the project department.”
As far as he knew, the project department was supposed to be a place for talk, not action. It was only after he joined that he realized it was much worse than he thought.
For instance, for the sake of the new ecological project, he had been out socializing for an entire week non-stop. He drank enough to give himself alcohol poisoning! There was no way he could last like this.
Qi Shenbai had a deep understanding of the project department, so he looked at Xu Zhengyang and said, “Are you saying that you want to give up on this project?”
“Give up, my *ss. If I don’t work harder, won’t that dog Lu Zhuo win? I won’t give up on this project no matter what.” Xu Zhengyang harrumphed.
“Alright, then keep working hard.” Qi Shenbai patted Xu Zhengyang’s shoulder to encourage him, but he had no intention of helping him.
It was Xu Zhengyang’s fault for trying to get between him and Jiaojiao.
Xu Jiaojiao did not sleep well that night. She dreamed that she had a video call with Qi Shenbai only to realize that it was still on when she came out of the shower…
As a result, Xu Jiaojiao was a little tired the next morning. Still, their painting trip had just begun, so she definitely could not be late. She washed up first, then went downstairs.
Just as she headed downstairs, she saw Mr. Sun looking at his phone. The teacher seemed to be arranging today’s activities.
“Good morning, Mr. Sun,” Xu Jiaojiao greeted him.
Mr. Sun gently nodded. “Good morning.”
Ever since he joined the school, Mr. Sun had taught many students. He had seen many geniuses, but it was rare to see a prodigy working as hard as Xu Jiaojiao did. That was why Mr. Sun had a soft spot for the girl.
“Not everyone is here yet, so you can go and have breakfast first. I passed by a breakfast shop this morning and bought some of their wares. It’s not too bad. The shop is over there.” Mr. Sun pointed to the west of the town.
“Got it, and thanks! I’ll go over first.”
“Sure thing.”
There were many breakfast stalls in the west of the town, but none of them sold Xu Jiaojiao’s favorite foods. She bought whatever she could find and returned to the hotel after eating.
“Look at you! What time is it now? You’re all so lazy. Can’t you learn from Xu Jiaojiao?” Mr. Sun was scolding the other students when Xu Jiaojiao got back.
He was a little angry because they were more than ten minutes late..
