The boss’s deskmate is super sweet

Chapter 30 Little Cherry

It was a female voice that sounded very capable and neat: "Mom is busy here and I didn't see that you were already on the phone. It's been more than a week since you arrived in T city. How do you feel?"

"……I'm fine."

"What about school? Are you still used to it?"

Qin Chuqing clenched her phone tightly with her fingertips and said in a deep voice, "...I'm quite used to it."

"That's good. I should go back to China next month. If I have time, I will..." Ning Qiuya was interrupted before she could finish her words.

Qin Chuqing heard several voices speaking in English from the other end of the phone, and she listened for a while with her ears perked up.

"Mr. Ning, the high-level meeting will start in 5 minutes. You should go to the conference room now."

Ning Qiuya responded: "Okay, I'll be right away."

Qin Chuqing's fingertips holding the phone were a little cold. She lowered her eyes, waiting for the next words.

"I'm going to the meeting first, let's talk another day." Ning Qiuya said, with the sound of paper rustling in the background of the phone.

Qin Chuqing hummed, but before the last word could even finish, the phone beeped.

Ning Qiuya hung up the phone neatly.

Qin Chuqing rested her arms on the balcony railing, and the night wind blew across her indifferent cheeks.

She couldn't remember how many times this happened. She had been like this since she was a child. Ning Qiuya always put work first.

As for her daughter, she was probably a dispensable existence in Ning Qiuya's life.

When I think of it, I care a few words, but when I forget it, I won’t even answer my own phone call.

She thought absentmindedly, annoyance welling up in her heart, and even the laughter of the classmates downstairs made her feel noisy.

The phone buzzer rang again.

Qin Chuqing opened the lock screen and clicked on the QQ interface. At the top of a bunch of group chat messages was Lu Chi's name.

He only sent one punctuation mark: [. 】

Qin Chuqing suppressed the boredom in her heart and her desire to complain to someone whenever she saw him.After a while, she replied: [? 】

Lu Chi replied to her almost instantly.

[Look down. 】

Qin Chuqing was stunned for a few seconds, then lowered his head and looked downstairs. Next to the street lamp post, a young man stood tall, puffing away smoke, and a spark flickered on his fingertips.

Before she could react, news from Lu Chi came one after another.

[Come down. 】

[Hurry up, I’ll give you 3 minutes. 】

Qin Chuqing held her cell phone, wondering if it was the warm night breeze that made her confused. She stood on the balcony in a daze for a while, then turned and went downstairs.

She put on her slippers, exposing her white and tender feet to the air, and ran out of the dormitory building.

Just as he was looking for Lu Chi, the little cherry tied to his ponytail was pulled back suddenly.

Qin Chuqing didn't stand firm and fell backwards without any defense, crashing into the young man's hard chest.

She stiffened her body, slowly raised her eyes, and met Lu Chi's half-smiling gaze.

Before he could get up, he heard his deep voice coming from above his head.

"Are you a kid? Still using this plastic cherry hair tie?"

Lu Chi curled his lips lazily, passed his arm through the back of her neck, stretched it to the top of her head, and pinched the little cherry.

Qin Chuqing stood up against his shoulder and slapped off his hand that was doing evil: "Who stipulates that high school students can't use this kind of headband?"

"Okay, no one stipulates it, then I won't call you my deskmate anymore, I'll call you... kid?" Lu Chi raised the corners of his lips, with a clear smile in his eyes.

Qin Chuqing's grape-like eyes blinked several times before she realized what he was talking about.
