Chapter 6: I'm here for you from now on, don't even think about interfering in Shen Chenxi's life again! 1
The alarm clock rang at eight o'clock on time!
Although her feet still hurt a little, Shen Chenxi didn't forget the bold words she made to Mo Kairui. Today was her second day at work, and she absolutely couldn't be late again.
When she put on the professional suit borrowed from the head of the dormitory and lightly applied lipstick to her lips, the clock just pointed to a quarter after eight.
Shen Chenxi made a "perfect" gesture in front of the mirror and walked slowly towards the door. She encouraged herself secretly in her heart: "Don't worry, there is still enough time. There is still more than half an hour before work starts at nine o'clock, enough time to take a taxi to the company!"
Just as she was about to open the dormitory door and go downstairs, "Hello," Xu Xiaoxiao jumped in from outside the door, giving her a big fright.
"Xu Xiaoxiao!" Shen Chenxi was very dissatisfied with this girl who always appeared suddenly. "Why did you come to my place so early in the morning instead of going to class? Yesterday, you shouted at me like that and I was already on the headlines on campus. What do you want to do today? I have to go to work and don't have time to mess around with you." As he said that, he was about to push her away and go out.
While Shen Chenxi was nagging, Xu Xiaoxiao had already filled the dormitory table with breakfast, including soy milk, fried dough sticks, tea eggs, sesame cakes, and even a bowl of rice noodles. Shen Chenxi looked at the sumptuous breakfast and her stomach kept growling. She seemed to have not eaten since the big fight yesterday.
You know what, I'm actually drooling a little.
Seeing her expression, Xu Xiaoxiao silently gave her cousin a thumbs up in her heart, and then without saying a word, she pulled her to sit down and eat.
Shen Chenxi really wanted to enjoy this free, hearty breakfast. However, time waits for no one. When she thought of Sister Li's "death face", she lost the desire to eat breakfast.
"Xiao Xiao, please eat! I'm in a hurry to go to work!"
"Sit down! I'll take you there later!" Xu Xiaoxiao acted as if to say, "I won't let you out unless you eat."
Hey! When did Xu Xiaoxiao become infected with her cousin's overbearing style?
Well, it would be a waste if I don't eat it. Since it's hard to refuse such a kind invitation, I'd better obey it respectfully.
Shen Chenxi wolfed down his breakfast and it was already half past eight when he finally swallowed it all.
It was over, it was over, it was too late for her.
Shen Chenxi didn't even bother to say "thank you" to Xu Xiaoxiao, and rushed out the door dragging his injured foot.
Xu Xiaoxiao rushed over, put her left hand on his shoulder, took on most of her body weight, and helped her walk slowly downstairs.
"Xiao Xiao! I'm really going to be late!"
"Sister Chenxi! Believe me, you will not be late today!"
After finally reaching the school gate, Xu Xiaoxiao had no intention of stopping and kept leading her to the street around the corner.
No matter how good-tempered Shen Chenxi was, she couldn't stand it anymore: "Xu Xiaoxiao!" She yelled in the street, staring at her unhappily, "What on earth do you want to do?"
At this moment, a black motorcycle passed by her, turned a corner and stopped in front of her.
Shen Chenxi looked at the handsome face under the helmet and exclaimed in surprise: "Mo Kairui?"
"Get in the car!" The person on the car turned around and winked at Xu Xiaoxiao. Before Shen Chenxi could react, he was helped to sit on the back seat of the motorcycle.
"Shen Chenxi, hold my waist tight!" Mo Kairui's low voice came from the front.
Shen Chenxi grabbed the back of his clothes, a little dazed. Was he the one who arranged everything this morning? Did he do so much just to send her to work?
Shen Chenxi subconsciously looked at Xu Xiaoxiao, only to see her taking pictures of them with her cell phone.
"Xiaoxiao, what are you doing?" Shen Chenxi was helpless. Would Xu Xiaoxiao want her to be on the headlines again?
Seeing her nervous expression, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but laugh: "Oh, Sister Chenxi, don't worry! I won't expose you on the campus forum again. This photo is for you and your cousin as a souvenir. After all..." Xu Xiaoxiao said with a flattering smile towards Mo Kairui, "When you become my cousin's wife in the future, you must have some sweet memories!"
"Xu Xiaoxiao, what nonsense are you talking about!" Shen Chenxi kept glaring at Xu Xiaoxiao.
Mo Kairui put a helmet on Shen Chenxi, caught a glimpse of Shen Chenxi's helpless and shy little face out of the corner of his eye, and started the car happily.
In the rearview mirror, Xu Xiaoxiao could be seen waving her hands excitedly, and occasionally her teasing voice, "Cousin, take good care of my wife" could be heard.
Shen Chenxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Fortunately, this place is a little far from the school, otherwise if other classmates heard it, she would never be able to wash herself clean even if she jumped into the Yellow River.
In the soft morning light, a tall man in a black suit drove past with a girl in a black business suit. Under the girl's helmet, her soft and flowing black hair cascaded down and fluttered in the wind, emitting a faint fragrance that belonged to her.
During this quiet time that belonged to the two of them, Mo Kairui suddenly felt that Shen Chenxi's sprained ankle was not a bad thing.
Shen Chenxi had always thought that riding a motorcycle was something that only hooligans did to look cool. But today, when she saw Mo Kairui, dressed in a suit and tie, driving Zhan Yu through the noisy streets, she felt as if she had skipped class to go for a ride.
When she was still Qin Muyang's girlfriend, their dates were nothing more than finding a sunny day to go to the park for a walk or go boating. Most of the time, Qin Muyang was busy doing part-time jobs to make money, while she always went to the psychology department to take classes.
She actually persisted in such a dull love for three years.
Finally, even the dormitory head couldn't stand it anymore, poked her forehead and taught her: "Let Qin Muyang take you to see a movie, travel! Others' love is filled with the sour smell of love. You are different, your love is like an educated youth who went to the countryside, full of rural smell!"
Haha... Qin Muyang probably still doesn’t know which movie star she likes!
"What are you thinking about?" While waiting for the green light, Mo Kairui turned around and looked at her, smiling gently.
Shen Chenxi pulled himself out of his memories, smiled at him mischievously, and said, "I was thinking, I was a 'passerby' and you carried me back to the dormitory yesterday, and today I sat on the back seat of your motorcycle. As an 'alumni and classmate', aren't you too nosy?"
"Yes! I am happy to do so!" Mo Kairui smiled comfortably, "But you, are you sure you don't want to put your arms around my waist? Sitting sideways in a short skirt is the easiest way to expose yourself! As far as I know, social news reporters also like to take pictures of this when they have nothing to do." Mo Kairui paused and added, "They call this the various aspects of working women."
"You!" Shen Chenxi closed his eyes and touched his waist. He stretched out his hand and pinched it hard, then lightly wrapped his arms around it.
"Heh! Why are you blushing?" Mo Kairui obviously had no intention of letting her go and continued to tease her.
Shen Chenxi even had the urge to get off the car. There were less than twenty minutes left before work time, and this guy was still in the mood to "flirt".
She glared at him fiercely and looked around anxiously at the road conditions.
Mo Kairui put away his ruffian look, quietly reached out and held her fingers around his waist, lowered his head and gently reminded her: "Hold on tight!" As soon as the green light came on, the motorcycle rushed out like lightning.
When they were about ten meters away from the company, Shen Chenxi insisted on getting out of the car and walking to the company by himself.
Mo Kairui couldn't persuade her, so he went to park the car first. When he caught up with her to help her, Shen Chenxi had already limped into the elevator.
She was not late and wore a formal suit! The nail polish washed off her nails last night, and even her bangs were trimmed into a neat row by the poor knife skills of the dormitory head. Sister Li was quite satisfied and did not bother her anymore. She even "pardoned" her and let her return to the computer department to do some clerical work.
Shen Chenxi was in a good mood and smiled like a sunflower to everyone he met.
When Mo Kairui invited her to lunch at noon, she did not try to avoid him. She had a good appetite and ate three chicken legs in a row.
Seeing her smug look, Mo Kairui laughed at her for being "too easily satisfied."
Shen Chenxi had a look of "newbie welcomes spring" on his face, and ran back to the office to continue working.
When Shen Chenxi returned on Mo Kairui's motorcycle in the afternoon, he did not return to school, but took Mo Kairui to his secret base, his third brother's bar - "Fei".
The small bar was bustling with people, and there were pairs of young lovers, and fashionably dressed girls singing on a small stage.
Mo Kairui looked at the rough yet refined alternative bar design and poked Shen Chenxi's hand: "Do you come here often?"
"Yeah!" Shen Chenxi simply gave him a word and walked straight to the bar as if he was familiar with the place.
When the bartender saw her coming, he turned around and squeezed orange juice, then handed her a plate of pine nut corn.
"Handsome, please give me another cocktail." Shen Chenxi chewed the corn with enjoyment and looked at Mo Kairui with shining eyes. "You are in for a treat today. Cocktail is the signature dish here. This drink is a mixture of the fragrance of cucumber and the strong gin. It tastes sour and sweet at first, and it has a strange and lingering fragrance after entering the throat. Hmm... It tastes like love, which will leave you with an endless aftertaste."
Mo Kairui's forehead was covered with cold sweat. She knew so much, could it be that she drank it often?
"Shen Chenxi, don't tell me that you are actually an alcoholic."
"Mo Kairui, your brain was kicked by a donkey. Didn't you see that I was drinking orange juice?"
"You!" Someone who is scolded tends to get angry.
"Heh, heh... I just said the wrong thing." Shen Chenxi turned his face away guiltily, "Ahem... I mean, I just like to come to this bar to listen to music. You see, I always drink orange juice and never drink alcohol!"
"Oh, how do you know the taste of that cocktail so clearly?" Mo Kairui narrowed his eyes and said in an unfriendly tone.
"Oh! I heard it from someone else!" Is Mo Kairui possessed by evil spirits? He keeps harping on her drinking problem. Really, there is no alcohol and driving check when riding a motorcycle!
Inside the bar, when the third brother heard that Shen Chenxi had arrived with a handsome boy, all the gossip cells in his body came alive, and he left his friends behind and ran to the front desk to join in the fun.
"Hey, Third Brother, so you're here! Didn't you go on a date today?" Shen Chenxi saw his Third Brother and greeted him enthusiastically, unaware that the man next to him had just relaxed his face and turned gloomy in an instant.
"Yeah! I was just in the back room with a friend. I heard you were here so I came out to say hello." The third brother smiled ambiguously. This was the first time Shen Chenxi brought a boy to his bar. The boy was good-looking and handsome, and he was a good match for Shen Chenxi.
"Xiaochen, is this your boyfriend?" Without waiting for her to introduce him, the third brother asked directly.
"Ah..." Shen Chenxi shook his head embarrassedly, "No, it's a classmate!"
As soon as the word "classmate" came out, someone's face instantly became gloomier.
Mo Kairui remained silent, drank the cocktail in his glass in one gulp, and politely extended his hand to the third brother: "Hello, I'm Mo Kairui!"
The third brother shook hands back: "Hello! I'm the boss here, you can call me the third brother. Xiaochen and I are old acquaintances. You are the first boy Xiaochen brought here. I was abrupt in my words just now, please don't mind, haha..."
