Mom: Congrats
Most handsome Brother Kai: Congrats
Dad: Congratulations to my darling daughter for finding a job. From now onwards my daughter is going to make something of herself. Clap clap.
Contrasting her father’s enthusiastic reply, the first two could be described as perfunctory.
Yu Bao’er didn’t mind. Looking at the message from her ever-supportive father, she happily replied.
Yu Bao’er: You’re exaggerating. My internship starts next week, and my internship pay is 5000 yuan! I’ve calculated. 2000 yuan on apartment rental, 2000 yuan on food, and 1000 yuan on other expenses. I should be able to survive on that pay.
Mom: And what if you can’t?
Yu Bao’er: I still have my new year’s red packet money.
Mom: …
Most handsome Brother Kai: … Wah, you’re refreshingly shameless.
Dad: Only 5000 yuan a month? That’s too little! How is that enough for you to live by yourself in the capital? Daddy will transfer another 5000 yuan to you every month.
Mom: My foot! For a 22-year-old old miss to have her family subsidize half of her expenses, wouldn’t she feel embarrassed! [trash.jpg]
Yu Bao’er: Hmph!
Most handsome Brother Kai: That’s not right. Your rental is only 2000 yuan in a place like the capital? What’s it like? Surely it’s not just a toilet?
Yu Bao’er: Bullsh*t! It’s a single apartment, 2000 yuan per month inclusive of utilities. It’s near the kindergarten where I’ll be working at. When I went for the interview today, Commander Huo said that he and my bestie can help me look for an apartment, and I agreed. I just never expected it to be so fast. Seems like it’s pretty easy to find an apartment in the capital.
Most handsome Brother Kai: …
Mom: …
Dad: ???
Yu Kairan texted his mother privately right away: Mom, is the capital she went to isn’t the capital that I had in mind?
Mom: You still can’t tell? Someone is starting to make a move on my silly daughter. Gosh, how does she make it through life with that IQ?
Most handsome Brother Kai: Aargh, to think he dares to make a move on my younger sister. I can’t tolerate this!
Mom: Why? You kept calling that fellow ‘Brother Huo’ that time. I thought you were going to become sworn brothers with him or something. Are you acting like I’ve lost my memory?
Most handsome Brother Kai: …
Eerily no one said a thing in the family group chats for some time. Just as Yu Bao’er was about to ask, a jeep had already stopped in front of her.
“Get in.”
Huo Yingcheng wore a pair of act-cool sunglasses, and because the weather had turned chilly recently, he was clad in a thin black sweatshirt.
It had been quite a long time since Yu Bao’er last saw him. And she found this guy pretty good-looking the first moment she saw him.
Huo Yingcheng saw Yu Bao’er wearing a denim jumpsuit, her long hair draped over her shoulders, giving off a refreshing vibe as she squatted by the roadside.
“Commander Huo.”
This time when she saw Huo Yingcheng, Yu Bao’er’s tone was much better than before. Her smile was very vibrant too.
“Mm.”
No idea why, but when he saw Yu Bao’er this time, Huo Yingcheng put a fist to the corner of his mouth and let out two soft coughs. “You’re just done with your interview?”
Yu Bao’er nodded. “Yeah!”
She fastened her seatbelt and tossed her small bag to the back, before declaring generously, “Commander Huo, order whatever you like today! My treat!”
Huo Yingcheng sputtered with laughter. “If I earnestly order whatever I like, I can easily eat away one year of your wages.”
Yu Bao’er instantly showed cowardice. “Err… then be selective in what you order…”
The young lady’s voice softened. Looking at the way she was curling up, Huo Yingcheng felt his mood become pleasant all of a sudden.
Then he drove off.
