The villainous female supporting character beckons, and the aloof male lead kneels down to pamper he

Seriously, who would give a size 35 shoe as a gift? That size is practically uncommon!

Moreover, most normal people would choose 36 or 37.

Yesterday, Qingqing injured her foot at work, and when she came home, there was an extra pair of lambskin shoes. Her brother knew about Qingqing's foot injury. Hmph, all the signs indicate that these shoes were not a gift from someone else, but were clearly bought by her brother specifically for Qingqing. He just used her to give them away!

Oh my god, I can't believe it, her brother is such a closet pervert.

Gao Tingting couldn't help but smile.

"Tingting, how much do these shoes cost? I'll give you the money."

Although Lin Shuyao only has a few dollars left, she still has the money that Uncle Cheng and Shen Qing's father gave her. At worst, she can use some of it to pay Tingting for the shoes, and then make up the difference from her salary later.

Gao Tingting helped her brother out: "Hey, Qingqing, you really don't need to give me money. To tell you the truth, the factory representative asked me to bring these shoes to you. You injured your foot, right? This is a gift he paid for out of his own pocket to comfort you. He was busy with military training this morning and happened to run into me on the playground, so he asked me to bring them."

Lin Shuyao was a little incredulous.

Cheng Zheng scolded her in front of so many people on the playground yesterday, like he'd swallowed a bomb, and yet he actually paid out of his own pocket to buy her shoes?

impossible.

It is absolutely impossible.

He doesn't look like the type to cherish women.

It must be that Gao Tingting didn't want her to give her money, so she said it on purpose. Since Tingting doesn't want money, then just buy her a dress instead, and she won't refuse.

Lin Shuyao hugged Gao Tingting's arm, moved, and shook it gently twice.

"Tingting, you're so kind."

As Gao Tingting turned her head, she met Lin Shuyao's beautiful and delicate face. The morning light bathed her alabaster skin, giving it a radiant glow. Her cat-like eyes were filled with shimmering water, and the corners of her eyes were upturned, giving her a charming and alluring look.

Her pert nose, full cherry-red lips, and that coquettish voice with its little hooks, whispering sweet nothings in her ear, saying how wonderful she was.

Gao Tingting felt half of her body go numb.

Thank goodness she's a woman. If it were any other man being fawned over by such a beautiful and alluring woman, he'd probably be completely bewitched.

Suddenly, Gao Tingting saw her brother's face in her mind. She wondered what Cheng Zheng's icy face would look like if he turned into a mentally challenged person.

Pfft, hahaha...

Gao Tingting laughed at herself for imagining it.

He emphasized again, "Qingqing, these shoes were really a gift from the factory representative. I was just the messenger, so remember to thank him personally. But the ointment inside was indeed a gift from me, hehe."

Her serious expression made Lin Shuyao's firm resolve waver. Could it really be a gift from Cheng Zheng?

After seeing Gao Tingting off, Lin Shuyao thought it over and decided to ask Cheng Zheng.

If it really was a gift from the other party, wouldn't it be a bit impolite of her not to even say thank you?

Lin Shuyao tidied her appearance in front of the small mirror on the wall. Although conditions were limited, she still made sure to look beautiful every day.

Today, since she didn't have to run laps during military training, she let her hair down and tied it into a princess hairstyle. Her jet-black, shiny hair hung down her back like ribbons, and just looking at that head of hair was enough to catch anyone's eye.

She altered the factory workers' uniforms to a fitted waist style. In fact, she wasn't the only one; other female workers who loved beauty did the same. By cinching the waist, they immediately accentuated their curves, making their breasts full and their waists incredibly slender. Paired with a delicate face, red lips, white teeth, and bright eyes, they were breathtakingly beautiful.

Even the most unfashionable and unflattering navy blue couldn't suppress her vibrant color.

It truly proves the saying, "Man carries clothes."

After tidying up, Lin Shuyao reached out to pull the door open, preparing to go find Cheng Zheng. However, as soon as the door was opened a crack, she saw a familiar figure standing at the entrance of the dormitory across the hall.

Cheng Zheng had his back to her, carrying a quilt and mattress tied with a mesh rope in one hand and a net bag in the other, containing daily necessities such as a washbasin, towel, and soap.

Standing beside him was a slender woman, who was looking down to unlock the door, her voice soft and gentle:

"Brother Zheng, I'm so grateful for your help with the job. Otherwise, I wouldn't even meet the requirements for applying for a job with my qualifications. Also, thank you for preparing all these bedding and daily necessities for me. You've really gone to a lot of trouble. You're busy with work, so you can go back now. I can take care of the rest myself."

Cheng Zheng's voice was unusually calm, something Lin Shuyao rarely heard: "It won't make a difference. You've just arrived, so feel free to tell me if there's anything you're not used to."

The woman nodded, her tone filled with gratitude, and stepped aside to invite him in: "Why don't you come in and sit for a while? I'll go to the water room to get some water to make you some tea, it'll be quick."

"No, thank you." Cheng Zheng said, putting the things in his hand into the doorway. Suddenly, he felt a gaze behind him. He turned around abruptly, and his eyes met Lin Shuyao's gaze through the crack in the door.

Lin Shuyao didn't know why, but she closed the door faster than she thought, completely forgetting that she had originally gone to find him.

Cheng Zheng's gaze lingered on her closed door for a moment before he quickly turned back to continue talking to the person opposite him.

Lin Shuyao leaned against the dormitory door, her fingers unconsciously twisting the hem of her clothes. For some reason, her heart felt heavy, as if a ball of cotton was stuck in it.

It turns out that he could speak so gently to others, unlike his cold and harsh tone towards her. It turns out that he not only gave her gifts but also to others, and even took better care of them, meticulously preparing even the smallest items like bedding and washbasins...

The woman's education level was not up to the factory's standards, yet he made an exception and arranged for her to work there. However, on the day she reported for duty, he had a cold face and publicly questioned her high school diploma, implying that she had gotten in through connections, making her feel ashamed in front of everyone.

If she hadn't happened to know Russian and proven her worth at a crucial moment, she probably would have been kicked out of Factory 306 long ago.

Lin Shuyao felt increasingly aggrieved and stomped her foot angrily, her cheeks puffing out. This Cheng Zheng was clearly discriminating against her!

"Settle in first, and let me know if you need anything."

A deep voice came clearly from outside the door, followed by a moment of silence, and then the footsteps faded into the distance.

he left.

Lin Shuyao rubbed her chest, feeling like there was something stuck in her throat.

Just as I was feeling frustrated, I suddenly heard a knocking sound on the door.

Her hand paused as she rubbed her chest. At this hour, the staff who were at work or in military training were not in their dormitories. Who would be looking for her?

Turning around and adjusting her expression, she asked softly, "Who is it?"
