After staying at Xu Tingbai's house several times, Lin Qingle went back to his original rented place less and less frequently. Sometimes when he went back to stay for a day or two, Xu Tingbai would drive him back directly.
Over time, Yu Tingting and Dong Xiaoni, who had had enough of dog food, began to encourage her to move to Xu Tingbai.
With the joint efforts of her roommate and boyfriend, Lin Qingle finally moved to Xu Tingbai's house one weekend with all her belongings, and her original master bedroom was occupied by Yu Tingting, whom she had been coveting for a long time.
"If I hadn't moved, I wouldn't have known I had so many things..." Lin Qingle sighed as he looked at the several large bags in the living room.
Xu Tingbai: "Leave it there. I've already arranged for someone to come and clean it up. We'll go out for dinner tonight to celebrate."
Lin Qingle: “Celebrate?”
"I'm mainly celebrating." Xu Tingbai smiled, "Celebrating that you're moving in here."
“Oh~”
Xu Tingbai glanced at the time: "There is still an hour left. I'm going to change my clothes and go out for dinner later."
"I need to change my clothes, too. Please help me unpack this luggage and I'll get some clothes."
"good."
The two of them opened one of the luggage first, and Xu Tingbai helped her take out the clothes and took them to the cloakroom. At this time, the aunt who came to sort out the things also arrived.
Lin Qingle was just thinking about explaining to the person what each box was when his cell phone rang. "I'm going to take a call. Please talk to Auntie for me."
Xu Tingbai: "Okay."
Lin Qingle walked aside: "Hello, Director."
"I think there are still some problems with the annual marketing promotion plan that will be presented next Monday. Are you home now? Let's have a meeting now, otherwise it will be too late to make changes."
Lin Qingle was stunned. She didn't expect to have to work overtime on the weekend. But because this plan was an annual one, she didn't dare to neglect it. She said quickly, "Okay, I'm free now. I'll talk to my people."
"Okay, in half an hour."
"OK."
Xu Tingbai saw her coming over after finishing her call and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Qingle showed an apologetic expression: "I have to go to a meeting suddenly, so... can we go out for dinner later tonight?"
Xu Tingbai: "Meeting?"
"Well, the director just called. I'll go turn on the computer first!" Lin Qingle ran into the study.
Xu Tingbai: “…”
While his aunt was still unpacking the boxes, Xu Tingbai pushed open the study door and looked inside. Lin Qingle was already sitting in front of his computer, starting to work.
He closed the door silently and returned to the living room.
"Mr. Xu, the contents of this small box are all books and documents. Should we put them in the study?"
"She's working in the study now, so you don't have to go in. I'll take care of this box."
"Okay." Auntie nodded and took all the clothes to the cloakroom first.
In the study, Lin Qingle and relevant department personnel held a video conference. Lin Qingle lowered his eyes and flipped through the documents in his hand, listening carefully to the manager's revision suggestions.
"For example, the data for app promotion is not complete. Chaochao, you are in charge of this area. Why don't you list all the data for each mobile app this year? Why don't you just give a rough summary?"
Ji Chaochao: "Ah... because I said before that it should be concise and clear, so..."
"To be concise and clear does not mean to be missing any limbs, but the key point is not to cut off any limbs."
“Okay, I’ll restate it now. Let me tell you the details first…” Ji Chaochao hurriedly organized the documents, but when he looked up and was about to start, he was suddenly stuck and stared blankly at the camera.
Manager: “What are you doing?”
Ji Chaochao looked at the frame of Lin Qingle: "Qingle...ah no, no...I, I'll be right there."
Ji Chaochao suddenly cue Lin Qingle, and everyone naturally looked at her video frame. After looking at it, they found that someone suddenly appeared behind her. The person didn't say anything, but was just packing up.
This silhouette... isn't that their boss
This time, not only Ji Chaochao, but everyone stopped.
Lin Qingle was looking down at some information and didn't hear anyone say anything, so he naturally looked up and found that everyone was looking at the camera meaningfully.
"What's wrong?" As soon as she asked, she realized that there was another person behind her camera. She had been wearing headphones, so she didn't hear Xu Tingbai come in.
Lin Qingle turned his head suddenly.
Xu Tingbai saw her looking over and said, "Is it okay for you to put these books here?"
"… oh."
Xu Tingbai put the book on the bookshelf, glanced at her screen, and asked, "Why don't you continue?"
Seeing him looking at the screen, everyone reacted and greeted him quickly. Lin Qingle pointed at his headphones towards the camera, indicating to everyone that he couldn't hear.
Seeing this, Xu Tingbai walked over directly. He took off one of Lin Qingle's earphones and put it on his own ear, then leaned over to look at the camera, "Old, how long will it take?"
Director Cheng: "Ah? Half, half an hour."
Xu Tingbai: "Is there a big problem with the annual summary?"
Of course there are problems! But Director Cheng dared not say in front of the boss: "Uh... It's OK, a small problem, we can have a meeting and fix it together."
Xu Tingbai said, "Oh," and suddenly said, "Working overtime and attending meetings on weekends is not your style."
And it's not Aurra's style.
Director Cheng touched his nose and said, "Ahem... yes."
Seeing that Director Cheng was a little embarrassed, Lin Qingle gently pushed Xu Tingbai and said, "Isn't that an accident? Otherwise, who would want to work overtime on the weekend? Hurry up and get out. Do you still want to eat?"
Xu Tingbai took off the headphones and returned them to her, saying, "The restaurant reservation time has passed."
It was not difficult to hear the tone of grievance in these words. None of them had ever seen Xu Tingbai speak in this tone before. Although they looked calm, they were extremely shocked in their hearts!
Lin Qingle coughed lightly, and the hand under the table gently pinched his leg, and whispered: "Let's eat something else later, I have a meeting first."
Xu Tingbai was obviously not very happy, but he still obediently stepped aside: "You are busy, I will help you pack your luggage first."
"oh… "
Oh shit, luggage? Packing? Is the deputy manager living with Mr. Xu
Mr. Xu actually packed his luggage himself! I didn't expect that I would find big news during a meeting!
The people below were gossiping, but Director Cheng was sweating. Seeing that Xu Tingbai had already left, he said, "Qingle, you didn't tell me in advance. If I knew you were with Mr. Xu, I would never have held the meeting at this time."
Lin Qingle choked: "…This matter is more important, I didn't think too much about it."
Director Cheng: "You should know that our company doesn't like overtime. You have to talk to Mr. Xu later. We don't do this every time!"
Ji Chaochao couldn't help but laugh and said, "Director, don't panic. Mr. Xu shouldn't have any objections."
"It would be better if..."
"If you have any opinions, please let the deputy manager know." A colleague added.
The others laughed.
Lin Qingle's face turned red: "Okay, let's hurry up..."
"Okay!"
Half an hour later, the meeting finally ended. Lin Qingle breathed a sigh of relief and closed his computer.
"Xu Tingbai, I'm fine!" She came out of the study and trotted to the living room.
When I arrived, I saw someone lying on the sofa, listlessly watching a boring variety show on TV.
Hearing her voice, he raised his eyebrows slightly and hooked his finger at her.
Lin Qingle ran over and squatted beside the sofa: "Is Auntie gone?"
"It's all sorted out and I've left."
"Oh, let's go eat then."
Xu Tingbai said lazily: "What time is it, Deputy Manager Lin?"
Lin Qingle said seriously: "Report to Mr. Xu! 7:30!"
"Good, the restaurant is closing."
"How is that possible? It's only half past seven."
"Private chef, that one closes at eight."
Lin Qingle: "Ah... Then, are you angry? Don't blame the director for this. Our department doesn't hold meetings like this every day. We are also employee-oriented!"
Xu Tingbai said "oh" and patted the sofa.
Lin Qingle sat on it, and Xu Tingbai laid her down and held her in front of him: "What did I say? You're talking to Lao Cheng so soon."
"No..." Lin Qingle touched his abdomen, "Are you hungry?"
Xu Ting lowered his eyes and looked at her silently.
Lin Qingle felt comfortable after touching it, and raised both hands: "Are you hungry? If we can't eat that, we can go eat something else."
"I'm already so hungry that I'm not hungry anymore, how about you?"
Lin Qingle: "I wasn't very hungry."
"In that case, let's do something else first and go out to eat later." As he said that, Xu Tingbai suddenly turned over.
Lin Qingle's hands froze on his waist instantly: "Do it, do something else."
"Since you've said so, I have to do something."
Lin Qingle was confused: "… What did I say?"
"What are you touching with your clothes?" Xu Tingbai was getting impatient. He lowered his head and said slowly, "Put it in."
Lin Qingle couldn't figure out what was going on in Xu Tingbai's mind. They had agreed to have dinner, but why did she rush to finish the meeting, not have dinner, and suddenly started making a scene on the sofa.
But she couldn't think too much afterwards. He caught her tossing and turning on the sofa, her thoughts and clothes falling to the ground...
—
Later, after finally getting rid of all his resentment, Xu Tingbai was in a good mood. He pulled a blanket from the side and covered the naked person in his arms.
"I'm a little hungry now, let's go out for dinner."
Lin Qingle half-lay on the sofa, wrapped tightly in a blanket, "We were about to go out to eat... I don't want to go now."
"You're really not going?"
"Um."
So tired…
Xu Tingbai chuckled, lifted a corner of the blanket and crawled inside, "What you said is perfect."
What's just right
Just as I was thinking this, a hot person came up from behind me.
Something came to life and pressed against her leg.
Lin Qingle was startled, and turned around to push him: "You! I, I don't want to..."
Xu Tingbai: "You said you didn't want to go out to eat."
"I didn't think about that... Okay, I'm hungry! I want to eat!"
Xu Tingbai rubbed the back of her neck and murmured, "Then I'll take you to eat later, okay?"
no!
Buzz buzz buzz—
At this moment, a cell phone vibrated in the pocket of the clothes thrown under the sofa. Lin Qingle immediately stretched out his hand to get it. After pulling it up, he found that it was Xu Tingbai's cell phone ringing.
"Yours, answer the phone!"
Xu Tingbai glanced at the screen. It was Xia Tan. He looked away: "No need to answer."
"Answer it, maybe there's something urgent." Lin Qingle was frightened by his pinching, and she didn't want to happen again... So to prevent him from touching her again, Lin Qingle directly pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Tingbai." Xia Tan's voice came out.
Seeing that the phone was connected, Xu Tingbai had no choice but to take it: "What are you doing?"
The tone is unfriendly.
Xia Tan was stunned for a moment before he said, "Didn't you say Qingle moved to your house today? I was busy outside just now, but I'm fine now. So do you want to come over for a midnight snack to celebrate?"
Xu Ting frowned slightly, impatiently: "Don't—"
"Yes, yes, yes! We'll be there soon. Where is it?" Lin Qingle leaned over and said.
Xu Tingbai: “…”
Xia Tan: "Oh, it's at the music bar on the edge of the community. It's owned by my friend. It's a good opportunity to come and have a bite today. I'll send you the address later."
"Okay, let's go right away!"
After the call ended, Lin Qingle pulled the phone out of his hand and said proudly, "Look, we've already promised them, so we have no choice but to go."
Xu Tingbai took a deep breath and pinched her waist: "I'll come back to deal with you."
Lin Qingle: "We'll have separate rooms tonight!"
Xu Tingbai smiled faintly: "That's a nice thought."
