"Cheers to our Xiao Bing being promoted to Deputy Chief."
"Ok. Thank you, Aunt Xuan."
"Let's eat. Try my pork belly stew."
"Ah … it's hot. It's delicious."
"Then eat more. Here, try a piece of ribbonfish."
After dinner, Dong Xuebing burped and sat on the sofa with Qu Yunxuan to watch CCTV's news. In the past, Dong Xuebing does not watch TV. Firstly, his hostel was not that good, and secondly, his family was poor. He had to focus on his part-time job and did not have the time to watch the country's affairs. But now, Dong Xuebing is a leader, and his mindset is different. He felt he should pay attention to the country's current affairs. This will only benefit his future.
The TV was showing the Central Government's leaders discussing the housing reforms.
Qu Yunxuan laughed. "When can our Xiao Bing appear on the news?"
Dong Xuebing paused. "I will try my best."
"Let me tell you. Don't be arrogant." Qu Yunxuan crossed her legs, but she remembered she was only wearing a short silk spaghetti strap dress today. She quickly folded her legs and pinched Dong Xuebing's nose. "To me, it is a blessing for you to be able to become a Deputy Chief. You must cherish this opportunity and stabilize your position. Don't be in a rush to climb up. You are still too weak, and you do not have enough experience. You will not be able to become a Deputy Chief in one go. Do you understand?" Dong Xuebing said.
Dong Xuebing nodded. "I understand. I will try not to make any mistakes first."
"That's right. It is not easy to be a good leader. You need to build up your relationships."
The news ended, and after the commercials, the weather report starts.
Qu Yunxuan twisted her neck and massaged her shoulders. "It will be cooler tomorrow? Remember to wear more clothes when you go out. "
Dong Xuebing nodded and looked at Qu Yunxuan's neck curiously. "Your neck is not working? Is it because you are tired from cooking? Sigh … I told you I want to help you cook, but you don't want to let me. "
"It's not that. I am too busy at work these few days and did not have time to rest."
"Hurry up and sit up straight. I will massage your shoulders."
"Haha … no need. I will be fine after a nap."
"Why are we still being so polite? Don't talk anymore. Sit down. "
"Then … Okay, but you just gave me a massage last time. Why don't you give me the Scraping Treatment this time?"
"Sure." Dong Xuebing had been plotting against Qu Yunxuan. It should not be long before he can set up a company for her. That's why Dong Xuebing must try his best to make a good impression on Qu Yunxuan. This way, she will agree to be his girlfriend in the future. After getting the scalpel and scraping board, Dong Xuebing applied a few drops of the scalpel on Aunt Xuan's neck and started to scrape her neck. "Aunt Xuan, if your neck feels uncomfortable in the future, just let me know. I will give you some scalpel or back massage. These are not a problem."
Qu Yunxuan, who was sitting on the sofa, smiled. "Ok. Thank you."
"There's no need to thank me. You had cooked and washed my clothes for me for the past two months. I should be the one thanking you." Dong Xuebing was standing behind the sofa, and he could see the back of Aunt Xuan's neck from above. Her halter top was wrinkled because she had lowered her head, and he could see the bottom of her cleavage in the shadows. Dong Xuebing noticed this, and his heart was burning. He stood on his tiptoes and stretched his neck to look at Aunt Xuan.
"Xiao Bing, did you get the Scraping Treatment?"
Dong Xuebing straightened his neck and cleared his throat. "Yes. Yes. It's quite red."
Qu Yunxuan smoothed her hair. "My left shoulder hurts the most. You should massage there more."
"Ok … … Ah … … This side is turning purple. Did you catch a cold?"
"Maybe the windows were not closed when I slept that day."
The last time, Dong Xuebing was massaging Qu Yunxuan's shoulders through her clothes. But this time, there was nothing. Dong Xuebing's hands were on her smooth back, and it felt different. After massaging Qu Yunxuan's neck and upper back, Dong Xuebing's right hand was trembling. It was sore and numb.
"Look at you. Take a rest." Qu Yunxuan grabbed Dong Xuebing's hand and started massaging it.
"I'm fine. Are you feeling better?"
"Yes. My neck is much looser than before."
Dong Xuebing felt that his performance should be able to impress Qu Yunxuan. It might not be a lot, but it's better than nothing. Everything can only change after a long time, and relationships are no exception. Dong Xuebing could feel the warmth of Qu Yunxuan's hand as she massaged his hand. He asked himself if this was considered holding hands. Does it count? Errr … … Obviously not. Sigh … … When can I go shopping with Qu Yunxuan hand in hand?
The question was, does Qu Yunxuan like him?
During their second confession at the hospital, Dong Xuebing had asked Qu Yunxuan if she could set up a company and would she consider dating him. Qu Yunxuan did not answer his question and used an ambiguous attitude to avoid the question. Err … … She likes him but is too shy to answer his question. But it should be understood that she does not like him but rejected him because of her pride. That's also possible. Dong Xuebing thought that Qu Yunxuan did not like him and rejected him because of her pride.
Like? Don't like?
Don't like? Like?
Which one is it? Or is it somewhere between like and dislike?
Qu Yunxuan let go of Dong Xuebing's hand and laughed: "Ok. You go and watch TV. I will go and soak the beans. We will cook bean porridge tomorrow morning."
On the TV, the music of a drama series sounded, the melody gentle and melodious.
He blinked and grabbed Qu Yunxuan's hand. He wants to see if she will let him hold her hand. If she does not move away, it means she likes him. If she moves away, it means … … Errr … … I can't say for sure. Even if she moves away, it doesn't mean anything.
Half a second … …
One second … …
Dong Xuebing held Qu Yunxuan's hand and waited for her reaction.
In the end, Qu Yunxuan looked at Dong Xuebing and pulled her hand back. "What are you doing? Impudent! Are you looking for a beating? "
She dodged!
She dodged!
Dong Xuebing mumbled BACK.
… …
"I will go and soak the beans. We will cook bean porridge tomorrow morning."
"Hmm, put in more barley rice. I quite like to eat that."
"Ok."
Dong Xuebing!
You still need to work harder!
