In the end, Tang Youxin was forced to make a choice among the options provided by Xia Xu.
shop.
I literally just wandered around and didn't buy anything.
After all, Tang Youxin didn't have much money and was frugal. Even if she wanted to buy clothes or something like that, she wouldn't come to such a prosperous area with high prices.
As for Xia Xu, he naturally had no shortage of living expenses, but it was also a bit inappropriate to take out money to buy things for this little white flower when she was so sensitive.
So the two of them walked around without buying anything, or even taking a good look around.
The two of them walked side by side in the crowd. Little White Flower kept her head down and looked at her toes, just silently holding a corner of Xia Xu's clothes, as if she was worried that she would get lost.
If it were someone else, this silent atmosphere might make both of them feel extremely awkward, but for the two of them at this moment, there was a surprisingly peaceful feeling of tranquility.
The endless stream of people seemed to be relegated to another dimension, leaving only two people, following closely, gradually going farther and farther away.
"How about we just go and get a free meal today?"
After walking for a long time without buying anything, Xia Xu probably felt a little embarrassed. He happened to pass by a hotel that seemed to be holding a wedding banquet, and suddenly he had an idea.
"Free food?"
Little White Flower looked up blankly, and only after seeing the wedding banners and other decorations outside the hotel did she understand what Xia Xu meant and asked in confusion, "Do you know anyone getting married here?"
“No.”
Xia Xu gave a negative answer, but then chuckled and pulled Xiao Baihua towards the hotel, and as expected, they entered the dining place very smoothly.
This kind of grand banquet basically invites relatives, friends, and relatives. Even the organizer himself may not be familiar with all of them. Moreover, there is no reason to stop people at the door for this kind of wedding banquet, so it is naturally not difficult to sneak in.
It was almost noon at this time. Although the banquet had not started yet, the guests who had arrived were already seated.
Xia Xu naturally pulled Xiao Baihua to sit at the table with more children.
"It's not a good idea for us to do this, right? We'll be discovered..."
Little White Flower came close to Xia Xu's ear with a guilty conscience, and lowered her voice to an almost inaudible level.
But looking at her expression, she seemed to be a little excited at the same time as she felt guilty and afraid, and her little face turned slightly red.
Obviously, this was also an exciting and novel experience for her.
It’s just like riding a roller coaster or visiting a haunted house. Even though it’s scary, you can’t help but want to experience it.
"Don't worry, I'm here, you won't be discovered. If you are discovered, I can just stay and wash the dishes."
Xia Xu also tilted his head slightly, and made the slightest sound with his mouth as if speaking ventriloquism, and took the time to smile and nod to the other people at the table.
However, this friendly signal caused some minor troubles.
"Little brother, you look a little unfamiliar. Where are you from? Is this your girlfriend?"
Although most of the people sitting at this table were children, there were still a few parents taking care of them, and most of them were old men and women. Xia Xu's greeting immediately attracted a familiar conversation from an old woman next to him.
"We are relatives of Sister Xu Jia."
Xia Xu was not panicked at all. He glanced at the bride who was walking towards the stage and responded with a smile as steady as an old dog.
"Oh, the woman's side, no wonder."
The old lady was not suspicious at first but just trying to find a topic to talk about. When she heard Xia Xu's words, she nodded in understanding: "You two don't look very old. Are you dating already? Won't it affect your studies?"
"No, no, we just look younger. We have already graduated."
Xia Xu smiled.
With just a few words of casual chat, the insignificant little disturbance was over.
"Phew, I was scared to death just now."
After the old lady turned around and started chatting with another person next to her, Little White Flower stuck out her tongue, quietly pretended to be relieved, and whispered in Xia Xu's ear.
"I've told you not to worry. We're not spies. No one will investigate."
Xia Xu burst out laughing.
"But I'm just nervous."
Little White Flower muttered, and then asked curiously: "How do you know the bride's name is Xu Jia?"
"The names of the bride and groom are written on the signs and banners outside."
Xia Xu smiled.
"Oh, that's right."
Tang Youxin nodded suddenly.
Soon, the banquet began, and exquisite dishes were served one after another. The whole wedding hall became noisy and bustling. When the master of ceremonies officially presided over the wedding, the atmosphere became even more lively.
However, this obviously had nothing to do with the two guys who were eating and drinking for free. After finishing their meal, the two quietly left the hotel.
"You are so mean."
As she walked through the hotel gate with her heart beating faster, the little white flower blushed as she "condemned" Xia Xu for his bad behavior.
"Yes, yes, it's my fault. I'm a bad person."
Xia Xu took all the blame and said with a smile: "Now let's move on to the next project."
"Wh…what project?"
Little White Flower's eyes dodged, and the redness on her face that was originally just excitement turned into a blush of shyness, and her tone was a little weak: "No, you can't."
"I always feel like you are associating something unhealthy."
Xia Xu amusedly raised his middle finger and tapped her forehead, saying, "I mean rubbing against other things. Look, there are games like ring tossing in the square over there. The game city we just passed seems to have some activities as well..."
For the next afternoon, the two of them completely turned into a freeloader duo.
Relying on the mechanical centipede spine and his own increasingly improved control ability to cheat, Xia Xu's performance in various small games and activities was unstoppable, and he soon gained a large number of dolls and trinkets.
…
The next day.
After playing with the little white flower for a whole day, Xia Xu, who had adjusted his mentality, finally faced the business. He got up early, completed his morning exercises, and went to Xinghai Venture Capital after a month away.
"Oh my god, isn't this my long-missing boss? Can I finally go to the police station to close the case?"
Seeing Xia Xu push open the door of his office, Chen Leyao smiled with an exaggerated look of surprise.
"hiss!"
Xia Xu did not respond to Chen Leyao's teasing immediately, but subconsciously took a breath.
Because Chen Leyao was standing up slowly while she was talking, with a fox-like beautiful face, exquisite curves, a gray business suit and standard black stockings...
Xia Xu, who had not experienced any hardships in nearly a month, suddenly cried out that he could not bear this strong visual impact.
"Sister Le Yao, it seems that you have neglected your duties since I disappeared. You even dared to violate company regulations."
Xia Xu's index finger naturally brushed across the wing of his nose, and when he didn't feel any moisture, he immediately revealed a serious and cold expression.
"Violation of company regulations?"
Chen Leyao was stunned, and her originally joking expression gradually faded. She said seriously: "Boss, is there any misunderstanding? I can explain..."
What rules does our company have set by the boss
