Xue Xi looked at the message for a long time and felt that the chatterbox’s WeChat might have been hacked.
She hurriedly replied: “?”
Qin Shuang replied very quickly: “Sister Xi, I’m fine. Let me be alone for a while.”
Xue Xi: “Where are you? I’ll go look for you.”
She could not let Little Chatterbox stay alone.
Her parents did not love her and she did not have many friends. She was too pitiful.
However, she did not expect Qin Shuang, who usually relied on her too much, to send a resistive message at this moment: “No need. I just want to stay alone. I’m fine, Sister Xi. I’m very clear about what I’m doing.”
Xue Xi: “…”
She thought for a while and probed, “Let Little Flame accompany you. Send me the address.”
Qin Shuang: “I’ll send it to him. Don’t worry.”
Xue Xi stared at this message for a long time.
I’m sure the chatterbox needs someone to accompany her right now, but she doesn’t want me to accompany her. It’s even possible that Little Chatterbox seems to hate me?
Although Xue Xi did not know what was going on, she sensitively caught a point: Qin Shuang and Cen Bai’s breakup must have something to do with her.
Why?
She could not figure it out.
However, she also knew that asking Qin Shuang now was equivalent to rubbing salt on Qin Shuang’s wound.
Hence, Xue Xi did not ask further.
After a while, Qin Shuang sent a message: “Sister Xi, I’m really fine. I just don’t know how to face you. Let me calm down for a few days. I’ll give you an explanation after the new year.”
After the new year…
There were only a few days left.
Of course, Xue Xi agreed. After replying, she sent a WeChat message to Little Flame. Half an hour later, Little Flame sent her a message. After confirming that Qin Shuang was fine and that she had just fallen out of love, Xue Xi felt relieved.
Actually, she was worried that Qin Shuang would do something irrational.
After all, there were many patients with depression and mania nowadays.
…
The next day, when Xue Xi went to the special department to work, she received a holiday notice. From tomorrow onwards, she did not have to work until the seventh day of the new year. During this period, there would naturally be staff on duty.
Everyone cheered and packed their things, eager to go on vacation.
In the entire special department, only Xiao Xiao volunteered to stay behind because—
“During the new year, in order to give benefits to the staff on duty, the company’s snacks are endless! I can save money to fill my stomach when I’m on duty here. It’s simply perfect!”
The rest: “…”
In the afternoon, everyone got off work early. Everyone packed their things and left. Xue Xi had nothing to pack, so she hailed a cab, intending to go home early.
What was worth mentioning was that Huaxia University was already on vacation. Xue Xi, the acting director, was already in the clear.
Now, she just had to wait for another two days to return to her hometown.
The cab was parked outside. After Xue Xi got in, the car had just started when she suddenly heard a meow.
She suddenly looked up and saw the black cat, Niohuru Xitara, jump on her from the passenger seat, startling Xue Xi. “Why are you here?”
The black cat: “Meow~” Of course I’m going home with you for the new year. Otherwise, I’ll be bored to death if I stay in the special department. You heartless person. You’re about to take ten days of long vacation and you actually don’t care about me!
As the chauffeur was around, the black cat spoke in cat language, but Xue Xi could understand it.
“…”
The black cat scurried into her arms and found a comfortable position to lie down. “Do you know what cats are most afraid of? Loneliness! It’s too much for you to leave me alone! I don’t care. I’ll go wherever you go this year!”
Xue Xi: “…”
Forget it. Given how much Ye Li and Xue Sheng doted on her, allowing her to raise a cat was definitely not a problem.
She rubbed the black cat’s back and the black cat instantly softened. It yawned comfortably. “Alright, I forgive you! Actually, I just feel that that white cat is too annoying. I’ll go with you to avoid that white cat.”
Xue Xi: “…”
…
At the same time, in the special department.
After everyone had left one after another, only four or five people remained in the department that originally had more than a hundred people. The special department instantly became quiet.
Crack, crack, crack!
Xiao Xiao found a bag of chips from the huge pile of snacks in the lounge and ate them casually. She slowly walked around the special department.
As she ate, she walked. She could digest the food and eat more. She should be able to finish the huge pile of snacks in the pantry today.
Someone would deliver more tomorrow!
Hehe!
Just as Xiao Xiao was walking happily, she suddenly saw a white figure swaying at the door. When she walked out, she saw the white cat squatting at the door and staring at the car in the distance.
She did not know if it was just her imagination, but why did it feel as though this white cat had been abandoned?
Just as Xiao Xiao felt that she was thinking too much, a pale voice suddenly sounded. “That…”
Xiao Xiao turned around and saw a dirty beggar wearing a tattered coat standing beside her. This beggar’s hair was dirty and covered her face, but from her figure, she seemed to be an old woman. She trembled and said, “I-I want to find someone.”
Xiao Xiao was very kind. Her big eyes blinked. “Auntie, who are you looking for?”
The beggar said, “Fang Yi.”
Xiao Xiao suddenly understood. “Ah, but the special department is on vacation!”
Of course, she knew that it was the holidays!
Under the beggar’s messy hair, her black eyes were filled with cunning and hatred. She couldn’t very well have killed Fang Yi at the entrance of the special department to avenge Huang Tao, right?
The beggar coughed. “Ah, it’s only three…”
Xiao Xiao replied, “It’s the holidays today, so everyone left a little early.”
The beggar sighed. “I asked her out today to receive treatment. She might have forgotten. Can you tell me her address?”
The address of anyone in the special department was confidential.
Xiao Xiao did not suspect anything. The pure-hearted person was instantly fooled. “Okay, okay! She lives in…”
Xiao Xiao shared Fang Yi’s residential block number clearly. The beggar was extremely grateful. After the beggar was gone, Xiao Xiao stuffed a piece of potato chip into her mouth. “Ah, although I hate Fang Yi, I still helped her. I’m really a good person~!”
…
Xue Xi brought the black cat home.
Just as she entered, she saw Ye Li walking over. “Xixi, you’re back? Eh, this cat…”
Just as Xue Xi was about to introduce the black cat, she lowered her head and saw that the black cat was looking at the living room. It suddenly stood up as though it had been frightened. All the hair on its body stood up and it made an attacking posture. “Meow~”
Sister Xi, danger!
Danger?
Who… was in the living room?!
Xue Xi turned to look.
