I was exposed for adding my female boss to my group of female friends.

Wei Mingzhe suddenly realized he wasn't dreaming, because he felt he couldn't possibly have such a wonderful dream.

Sister Wang said, "It's perfect timing. You're still getting familiar with your work today. Would you like to go take a look at the dormitories together? You can pick any one you like."

"Ok."

Wei Mingzhe was about to go out with Sister Wang to check on the dormitory when he received a call from Chen Chi.

"Didn't I tell you to come back right away? Why aren't you back yet?"

As soon as the call connected, Chen Chi started talking non-stop.

Wei Mingzhe apologized to Sister Wang, then ran to a secluded corner and whispered excitedly, "Chen Chi, you have no idea how legendary my experience today was!"

“Yes, it’s quite legendary, I know,” Chen Chi said, tucking his hair back. “Make sure you have time tomorrow night; my brother is treating you to dinner.”

Wei Mingzhe was a little surprised. Chen Chi's brother had always looked down on him, and he had never been invited to dinner before.

Why did he invite me to dinner?

Chen Chi didn't want him to know that he had asked for a favor, so he said vaguely, "How about I introduce you to a few friends? It will be helpful for your job search in the future."

"Still looking for a job..."

Wei Mingzhe was about to excitedly tell Chen Chi that he had found a job at Beichen, but then he suddenly remembered something and stopped talking.

He decided to give Chen Chi a surprise and not tell her that he had already joined Beichen.

However, Chen Chi misunderstood what he had just said.

"What, you're not going to look for a job anymore?" Chen Chi frowned on the other end of the phone. "I told you to rest for a few days, not to let yourself go, Wei Mingzhe. Let me tell you, I didn't tell you to be unambitious. You still have to look for a job."

"Of course, of course, I will definitely find a good job."

Chen Chi's brows relaxed slightly, and he said, "Alright, come back early. We must pay more attention to this situation tomorrow!"

Wei Mingzhe nodded absentmindedly: "Okay, of course, of course."

……

……

After hanging up Chen Sheng's call, Chen Ya was a little puzzled. How did Chen Sheng know about Wei Mingzhe's unemployment so quickly?

However, he didn't think about the problem in depth and turned to Xia You: "Sorry, I had a lot of miscellaneous things to do today."

Xia You, with a straw in her mouth, said quietly, "It's okay, my business is not as important as yours. You can finish your business first and then talk to me."

Chapter 257 She is indeed 18 years old.

"It's okay, my business is not as important as yours. You can deal with it first and then talk to me."

After Xia You finished speaking, Chen Ya nodded and said, "Okay, I just need to make some arrangements for Zuo Wenzong..."

As they talked, Chen Ya noticed that Xia You's gaze was becoming increasingly sharp, and realized that he might have said something wrong.

I don't know exactly what I said wrong, but it's best not to say anything in general.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and then Xia You said:

"You continue to make arrangements for Zuo Wenzong. He's the big boss of Taimei. Dealing with him won't be easy, will it?"

"Ah, it's not actually that difficult..."

"You handle it, I'm fine, I can wait."

"He can wait, he just needs to figure out how to crush him."

"Let's step on him first."

Chen Ya could tell from Xia You's tone that she was a little unhappy.

He didn't know exactly why he was upset. But besides that, he also noticed that she seemed a little different today.

I don't know exactly where the differences are. But praising her first is definitely the right thing to do.

"You seem prettier than before today."

"Really? I'm the same as before?" Xia You tossed her hair aside and turned her face away, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

The topic finally shifted away from how to deal with Zuo Wenzong, and Chen Ya said:

"No, I feel there's something different about it than usual."

Xia You said, "Boring. Then tell me why things are different from usual. If you can't guess in twenty seconds, we'll change the subject."

"You definitely can't guess that. Let's change the subject."

"I'm not talking to you anymore."

The girl stood up angrily and walked forward.

Looking at her back, Chen Ya realized that the reason she seemed more like a woman today was because the white fleece-lined leggings she was wearing looked a bit like white silk.

Leg fetishist's delight.

She seemed to have never worn stockings, just like Ruriko never went out with bare legs.

Today, Xia You is wearing a light blue, loose-fitting workwear jacket with wide sleeves that cover the hands, creating a cute look. The hem of the jacket is decorated with adorable cat sketches.

The inner layer is a simple white shirt with a V-neck preppy knit sweater, and the lower half is a black short skirt and white stockings. The hem of the short skirt is the same length as the hem of the jacket, creating the effect of "no pants".

She wore a pair of cool gray Martin boots, and her legs were thin and straight, so the boots looked great on her.

Although Xia You was always in Chen Ya's "Heartbroken Boys' Exchange Group", Chen Ya never treated her as a woman.

You should know that when Chen Ya first met Xia You, she was only 13 years old. She was a little girl.

Although she doesn't have a Lolita-like appearance, she possesses a maturity far beyond her years. She's introverted and doesn't talk much. She's skilled in computer technology, has an IQ over 140, and only wears black—she's very cool.

But in Chen Ya's eyes, she was still a little girl.

It wasn't until today that Chen Ya realized that Xia You, who is now 18 years old, is like a sour green plum that has finally borne fruit, lush, green and plump.

Chen Ya helped Xia You carry the milk tea she had left behind, and slowly followed her, handing the milk tea to her.

"Why are you giving this to me?" Xia You looked up and glared at him.

"I didn't finish it."

"Girls never finish their milk tea," Xia You said.

"That girl is such a wasteful creature."

"I want you to manage."

"Then I'll drink it."

Chen Ya put the straw of the milk tea into his mouth.

Xia You watched his actions with wide eyes. She had just used the straw, licking and biting it, yet Chen Ya didn't seem to mind.

"Give it back to me!"

She snatched the milk tea, cup and straw back, put the straw back in her mouth, and gulped it down. Soon, the cup made a gurgling sound. Then, with a flick of her wrist, the cup traced an elegant arc in the air and disappeared into the trash can.

"I've finished drinking."

Xia You clapped her hands, walked away with her head held high under Chen Ya's gaze, and went to the gift shop on the side. She picked up a Hero Goose Gagalo and pretended to examine it carefully.

Chen Ya was puzzled.

He naturally couldn't fathom the teenage girl's little scheme: what happened before was just a one-way indirect kiss, but now it's a two-way indirect kiss. Rounded up, it's practically a kiss.

Xia You had her back to Chen Ya, appearing to be carefully examining a goose, but secretly she was practically steaming, her hair almost emitting smoke. Today, she lost her first kiss. If Chen Ya hadn't been watching her so closely, she would have hidden in the bathroom and cried while laughing.

Chen Ya just felt that she was acting a little strange today.

Xia You tied the ribbon in her hair, then took it off, finally coiling it in her hand and deciding not to wear it anymore. Chen Ya, unaware of her nervousness, thought her hair ribbon was broken. Seeing a cat-ear headband on the shelf next to her, he casually grabbed it.

"This is cute, you should try it."

After saying that, he personally put the headband on Xia You's head.

Because of the sudden touch, Xia You struggled like a cat until Chen Ya hugged her from behind.

"It's me, it's me, don't worry."

Xia You used to have bipolar disorder. She would strongly resist when others suddenly approached or touched her, but she gradually recovered.

Therefore, Chen Ya was quite careful when interacting with her.

This prank triggered a very strong reaction, and Xia You instinctively struggled desperately, so Chen Ya quickly hugged her.

I don't know if it will work for other patients with similar symptoms, but for Xia You, a warm hug is very effective.

Xia You's eyes were glistening with tears as she asked, somewhat annoyed, "What are you doing?"

"Look in the mirror."

Xia You stared at the mirror in front of her. In the mirror was a cat-like girl.

Chen Ya hugged her from behind, like a cat owner affectionately cuddling a cat.

Xia You blushed immediately.

"elder brother?"

A familiar voice sounded from behind. Chen Ya let go of the embrace and turned around, seeing Lu Qianzi and Liu Ruying standing behind him.

Two girls were staring at her, their gazes different, yet both equally shocked.

Lu Qianzi was shocked that Chen Ya was actually dating a girl outside.

Liu Ruying's eyes still held a hint of suspicion—she could tell that the girl in Chen Ya's arms seemed a little young.

"What a coincidence, what are you all doing here?" Chen Ya asked.

"Today, I went shopping with Ruying," Lu Qianzi stammered.

Looking at their eyes, Chen Ya realized he had been misunderstood, but he was in a bind and couldn't change their minds no matter what he said, so he could only choose the safest explanation:

"She is already 18 years old."

“Brother, I think you’re acting strange, brother.” Lu Qianzi grabbed Liu Ruying’s arm. “I…we’re going to continue shopping, you…you should be careful.”

Liu Ruying wanted to chat with Chen Ya a little longer, but Lu Qianzi forcibly dragged her away.

Watching the two figures walk away, Xia You looked up speechlessly and rolled her eyes: "What did you just say?"

"But you are indeed over 18."

……

……

Lu Qianzi pulled Liu Ruying along, walking quickly, and became angrier the more she thought about it.

"I didn't believe him when he said he was being kept by a rich woman, but today I found out he's even more amazing! He has another woman outside who's so much younger than him..."

Liu Ruying stood to the side, her arm being pulled back, looking somewhat helpless.

She thought to herself, Chen Ya has not agreed to her marriage agreement.

However, she said, "Maybe it's not what you see..."

"What else do we need to see? Do we want to catch them in the act? Ruying, you're really a bit thick-skinned..."

Lu Qianzi glanced around, then whispered to her, "Ruying, you know I've always wanted you to be my sister-in-law, but with him like this, I really don't want you to fall into a fire pit..."

Looking at Lu Qianzi's innocent and naive face, Liu Ruying was actually a little moved.

The naive Lu Qianzi was naturally unaware that Liu Ruying's engagement to Chen Ya was not so simple.

She was unaware of Liu Ruying's gamble, and even less aware that without this marriage agreement, Liu Ruying would have lost her foothold.

Liu Ruying smiled helplessly and dodged the question, saying, "After all, it's an arranged marriage by Old Master Lu, so I can't go against his wishes..."

“Then let’s find a way to get him to break off the engagement,” Lu Qianzi shook her arm. “My brother is indeed very outstanding in other aspects, but as you saw today, his private life is indeed a bit messy.”

She glanced back at Chen Ya and Xia You, and after they left, she pulled Liu Ruying aside and whispered, "Come on, follow me."

"what?"

Aren't you curious about what they're going to do next?

"Curious, but doesn't that just become stalking?"
