Stardust in the Moonlight: Little Wildcat, Don't Try to Run Away

Chapter 148 Old Friends

Li Xin: [Where have you been? Come back to work!]

I looked at Li Xin's message with a smile.

Me: [I don’t want it, please let me rest for two more days! I finally have a vacation! ]

Li Xin: [Holiday? You are so open-minded! Where is it? ]

I sent my location to Li Xin.

After a while, I saw a super nice black sports car parked on the side of the road.

Li Xin changed into casual clothes and sat opposite me, which was a huge contrast to what he was like just now.

The waiter just brought two glasses of warm water and a cup of coffee.

"Whose coffee is this?" The waiter kept glancing at Li Xin while lowering his head.

"This handsome guy." I smiled and looked at the waiter.

The waiter put the coffee in front of Li Xin, looked at Li Xin openly, and left with a blushing face.

I looked at Li Xin.

Li Xin also looked at me calmly, his eyes were neither clear nor dark, but slightly sharp.

"My boss is so awesome! So handsome! So satisfying!" I looked at Li Xin with a smile.

Li Xin sneered, "I am helping you vent your anger. How are you going to help me vent my anger towards you?"

"Ah? Boss, this shouldn't happen! I was clearly the one being bullied! Why are you still mad at me?" I looked at Li Xin with a wronged look on my face.

"Nangong Rongyue, stop playing dumb with me! Why didn't you tell me and Mo Chen about all the things that happened? You solved them by yourself? And then what? You didn't even bother to explain to others? You were fired?! You signed quickly, you were in a hurry, weren't you!"

I laughed. "That day they were clearly prepared, with evidence and witnesses! I even asked my boss and he was not there, so you guys can fire me? I saw their expressions were quite certain, so why should I waste my time talking to them!"

I thought of how Li Xin looked in the conference room today, and laughed even harder. "Don't talk when you don't have the ability, and don't talk when you have the ability! Look, that's what happened today. You just sat there and didn't say a few words, and the matter was settled!"

"I was thinking, I can have a holiday until you and Mo Chen come back. I really don't want to waste a moment, so why listen to their nagging!"

Li Xin frowned slightly, a little helpless, and continued to stare at me.

"Besides, didn't I also take care of the people who bullied me? I wanted to do this since college, but I didn't dare to do it back then. I didn't have the confidence. I won't indulge them this time! Why do you think so?"

I looked at Li Xin with a smile.

Li Xin's eyes softened.

"You lost your temper in front of the whole company today. I don't think anyone will dare to comment on me when I walk around the company. Who would dare to mess with me?"

I sighed, "With you and Mo Chen here, I feel confident! I'm almost spoiling myself!"

There was a hint of smile in Li Xin's eyes.

"But don't think of forcing me to go back to work! I haven't finished touring this place yet! Give me two more days, and I'll report back immediately after I'm done!"

After listening to me, Li Xin looked at the artist's studio across the street.

Then he turned his head and looked at me. He put his hand on the table and casually pushed two fingers, moving an exquisite and beautiful wooden box in front of me.

I reached out and pressed it.

"what?"

"Open it and take a look." Li Xin has completely returned to his usual gentle appearance.

I looked at the small wooden box, which was made entirely of pear wood with exquisite carvings and fine lacquer workmanship. I pushed aside the golden hook and opened it. A faint scent of pear wood wafted out. Inside was a hairband with two thumb nail-sized beads at the knot of the hairband. They should be made of jade, and the hollow carvings were very exquisite.

"It's so beautiful!" I carefully took out the hairband.

In the sunlight, the colorless jade is so clear that there is not a single impurity in it. It is of extremely superior quality. The hollow carvings lock half of the sunlight inside the jade, allowing it to flow inside, and the other half passes through, making it exquisite, pure, and particularly beautiful.

"I happened to see it and thought it suits you." Li Xin looked at me with a smile.

"Such a precious thing should be kept! Should I really wear it on my head?!" I carefully placed the hairband in my palm. The two beads were cold to the touch, but they became warm after I held them.

"It's just a pretty hairband, it's meant to be worn."

"Although I don't buy luxury goods, it's not that I can't recognize good things." I looked at Li Xin.

Li Xin laughed again, "Who said you can't see the good stuff? Bai Yuning has a bunch of junk that's so expensive, but you didn't like any of it! And you kept finding fault with her. Bai Yuning is usually quite mean, but that day she had to admit that you were right. I can still see how picky you are."

We both laughed.

"You were really restrained that day. If the three of us weren't there, you would have said even harsher things." Li Xin looked at me and smiled.

"Ah! How did you find out? I've been racking my brains but I'm afraid it would hurt others." I looked at Li Xin in surprise.

"Just say whatever you want to say in the future. There's no need to spoil them. Given their level, every extra word you say to them can be an enlightenment to them." Li Xin smiled and took a sip of coffee.

I felt warm inside. The two small balls in my hands were smooth and round, with a slight coolness, which was very comfortable.

"Put it on and let me see it." Li Xin glanced at the hairband I was playing with in my hand.

I lifted my hair and tied it into a high ponytail, then tilted my head and shook the ponytail. The two beads touched each other and made a slight sound, which was crisp and pleasant.

"It looks good. Just wear it."

Li Xin's eyes were wrapped in sunshine, warm and bright.

"Here, this is a cake for you. Please try it." The waiter brought two exquisite small pastries, put them down and left.

I looked at the waiter who had returned, and saw three girls gathered together, staring at Li Xin infatuatedly.

"It's great to go out with a handsome guy. You can even eat cake for free." I looked at Li Xin with a smile.

Li Xin smiled helplessly, then looked casually at the artist's studio across the street.

"Let's go! I'll take you to see a painting! Do you have time?" I stood up and looked at Li Xin.

"There's plenty of time! In just these two days, tell me about all the paintings in these galleries!" Li Xin stood up and put a 100-yuan RMB note under the coffee cup.

"Tsk! Then you should go in and ask the tour guide! With your face, they will definitely be willing to explain it to you in detail! I can't do something as tiring as talking!" I turned around and was about to leave.

"You are such a heartless guy!" Li Xin grabbed the two beads on my hairband and lifted my hair.

I looked up and glared at him, "Let go! Don't break it!"

"Tsk!" Li Xin smiled and let go.

The two beads bounced back and touched each other, and my heart skipped a beat.

I reached out and touched the two beads, trying not to break them.

"It's okay! I'll buy you another one if it breaks! Let's go!"

… …

"Isn't this... your painting?" Li Xin frowned and looked at the painting in front of him. "I've seen a photo of this painting."

I looked around and luckily there was no one around.

"You can't say it's mine!" I lowered my voice and looked at Li Xin.

"Why? It was originally yours."

"Stop talking!" I stared at Li Xin.

"Isn't it just that your teacher used someone else's name to sell the product at a high price? What's the big deal?"

"People are buying the artist's reputation! How can a painting by a college student like me be sold at such a high price? If this gets out, what will happen to the artist? You really can't say anything. He has been a great help."

"You keep all you know about this painting to yourself! Act as if you know nothing! Got it?"

Li Xin looked at me and continued looking at the painting.

I turned to look at the painting as well.

"Now I understand what Bai Yuning said the other day. Seeing the shock of the original painting, what it felt like that a photo couldn't capture it at all."

"You have an amazing brain." Li Xin said as he flicked my hairband, causing the two beads to collide with each other again.

"Don't touch them again! Don't break them!" I rolled my eyes at Li Xin.

Li Xin smiled.

My shoulder felt cold, and I looked down. A gardenia had fallen from my shoulder and got stuck in the hollow of my collarbone, sending out a fragrant aroma.

I pinched the gardenia, which is my favorite flower. Although it is pure white, it always gives me a very gorgeous feeling.

"It turns out that the swan neck and this flower look so beautiful together."

I frowned and looked at Hao Weiran. I didn't know when he stood beside me. And he spoke too bluntly, which made me feel uncomfortable.

I looked at the flowers, then looked at him, who looked very cool. He was still dressed as stylishly as ever today.

"I'm glad to see you again! You and this flower give me the same feeling." Hao Weiran came closer to me.

I took a step back and almost bumped into Li Xin.

"Why are you here?" Li Xin said in a cold voice behind me.

I looked back at Li Xin, and Li Xin frowned and looked at Hao Weiran.

"Brother Li, long time no see." Hao Weiran raised the corner of his mouth and looked at Li Xin.

They actually know each other! It's a small world.
