[Shen Qingqing: @Qin Wei, I'm at your doorstep, but you're not home?]
[Qin Wei: OK, my butler will open the door for you. Just go inside and wait for me.]
[Shen Qingqing: Alright.]
[Sun Tiantian: ...]
[Shen Qingqing: Nobody opened the door!]
[Sun Tiantian: Do you really think she would be willing to hire a butler...]
[Qin Wei: But I have a smart lock at home. Shen Qingqing, try pressing it again, and I'll unlock it through the app.]
[Shen Qingqing: Okay, I'm inside now.]
[Shen Qingqing: Your house is so big. Do you live here alone?]
[Qin Wei: During the day, yes.]
[Shen Qingqing: ?]
[Sun Tiantian: What about at night? @Qiao Sixiao]
[Qin Wei: At night, you'll see empty corridors with restless souls drifting about. There's also a woman in a red dress sitting at the end of the window on the second floor, crying and singing at the same time...]
[Shen Qingqing: !!!]
[Qin Wei: It's around this time, just after dark...]
[Qiao Sixiao: Here we go again. Qin Wei, it's your own house. Don't scare yourself again.]
[future: Traditional performance] (Often refers to things that happen frequently, like traditional events)
[Qin Wei: The woman cries and suddenly turns around!]
[Shen Qingqing has left the group chat]
[Sun Tiantian: You scared her away. Your dream of having a ghost in your house has come true.]
[Qin Wei: Is that all? Aren't you listening anymore?]
[future: You love horror stories so much, why not try acting in a horror movie next time?]
[Qin Wei: [Scared.gif]]
[Sun Tiantian: She's too scared to even try an escape room.]
[future: Weak and addicted. Let's plan an escape room challenge next time.]
[Sun Tiantian: I'm in.]
[Qin Wei: I'm here, Youyou is here too. Hurry up.]
...
After finishing the dinner, Qin Wei hurriedly rushed home. Fortunately, she had left two hours early, so she arrived home just in time and had some time to stop by Ole to buy groceries.
She bought a lot of things, but luckily Xu Mingchuan had the company car pick her up and had the assistant accompany her.
However, she didn't anticipate Shen Qingqing's enthusiasm. She arrived half an hour earlier than the agreed time.
At the entrance, she met Youyou, so they went in together.
When Shen Qingqing saw Youyou, she burst into laughter. Although she didn't participate in their recent conversation, she knew why Shen Qingqing had left the group chat.
"Hahaha, Qingqing, why are you wearing a red dress? Hahaha..."
Youyou couldn't stop laughing.
Fortunately, Shen Qingqing could tell it was a joke, and after Qin Wei stopped telling horror stories, Sun Tiantian added her back to the group chat, and the conversation continued as usual.
"So, Shen Qingqing, are you scared of ghosts too?"
Qin Wei asked her while unpacking the fresh ingredients that the assistant had placed on the table.
"I thought you were very brave."
"But Qin Wei, you're not that brave either."
As they were chatting casually, they heard Wei Lai's voice at the door.
The three of them turned their heads and saw that Wei Lai and Sun Tiantian had also arrived.
"Wei Jie, I brought everything inside. If you don't need anything, I'll leave first."
Assistant Xiao Li ran in and said to Qin Wei.
"I'll cook dinner, why don't you stay and eat with me?"
Qin Wei extended a sincere invitation.
Xiao Li was pleasantly surprised but still shook his head.
"Well... I won't stay. I have... an appointment tonight."
Qin Wei nodded and took out her phone to transfer money to Xiao Li. Xiao Li intended to refuse, but Qin Wei preempted him.
"Just consider it my treat for helping me with the errands. It's been really helpful."
Only then did Xiao Li refrain from rejecting and, after expressing his gratitude, silently opened the transfer on his phone.
Sun Tiantian leaned in and asked Xiao Li,
"Although, I'm curious, how much did Weiwei transfer to you?"
Wei Lai said, "I bet thirty yuan, just a bowl of noodles... too little. I'll go with one hundred!"
Youyou defended Qin Wei,
"Sister Qin is not as stingy as you think. I bet two hundred."
Wei Lai raised an eyebrow,
"What if we lose?"
Youyou confidently replied,
"If I lose, I'll help you with one of your homework assignments when school starts. If you lose, you'll run errands for me and fetch my deliveries for a month."
"Deal!"
Sun Tiantian couldn't resist the excitement and quickly asked Xiao Li,
"So, how much is it?"
Xiao Li glanced at Qin Wei and, with her permission, showed them.
"One thousand yuan???"
The three exclaimed in surprise, with neither of them winning the bet.
"You go ahead and do your thing. You've worked hard today."
Qin Wei saw Xiao Li off, and just then, Shen Qingqing approached her, leaning on the kitchen island, and asked,
"Isn't the assistant staying to help you?"
"Xiao Li is an employee of the company, called in temporarily by Mr. Xu to help. He's a work assistant."
Qin Wei answered truthfully, while also handling the ingredients she had bought.
Fresh vegetables were used to make a salad, and the rest were low-calorie semi-prepared foods that could be quickly processed and eaten.
Shen Qingqing grumbled,
"Then why are you so good to her?"
Youyou came over and hugged Shen Qingqing's neck, teasing,
"Even though you dislike her, Sister Qin is still good to you. Sister Qin isn't like you, so materialistic."
Shen Qingqing glared at Youyou,
"But she was just telling me a horror story!! I'm alone here, and I'm actually a bit scared!"
Wei Lai stepped in to help and added,
"Don't be fooled by her telling the story. She's the one who can't handle it the most. Last time, when we were at the hotel in the film and television city, she scared herself to the point of not being able to sleep alone. In the end, Teacher Qiao had to accompany her to sleep... she..."
"Ah? Wei Lai, wait! I'm coming over there, then you can continue!"
A fan sitting on the couch, waiting for dinner, couldn't sit still and hurried over, ears perked up.
"Wei Lai, tell me... no, take your time, don't miss any details!! Everyone here is an adult, there's nothing we can't handle."
Qin Wei: "..."
Qin Wei pointed to the vegetables in the sink,
"Tiantian, wash and chop the vegetables and make the salad. As the person involved, I'll personally tell you. If you happen to cook the shrimp, I'll tell you all the details. Oh, these experiences, once is enough for a lifetime."
Sun Tiantian: "Really? (//∇//)... Is it okay like this? Should I listen? Will Teacher Qiao get angry? (//∇//)"
Qin Wei smiled with a meaningful look and waved her hand.
"Don't worry, we're all friends! There's nothing we can't talk about. I'll tell you everything you want to know."
Sun Tiantian took the apron from Wei Lai and put it on herself, then asked Youyou to put down the vegetables.
"Leave it to me."
Sun Tiantian said seriously,
"I'm the chef today, so none of you should try to snatch it from me."
Wei Lai pursed her lips and leaned in beside Qin Wei, whispering to her:
"Is it okay to deceive her like this... she might cry later..."
Qin Wei looked innocent:
"I didn't deceive her. After you fell asleep that night..."
Wei Lai: "!!!!"
Wei Lai: "Did I miss some paid romantic plot??"
Qin Wei nodded:
"I slept right next to the edge of the big bed. Qiao Sixiao only gave me a corner of the blanket. I was afraid my sleeping posture would be bad and accidentally kick her, so I hardly dared to sleep the whole night. I was so exhausted. During that time, I kept observing how you slept on the small bed. You even chuckled in your sleep... unforgettable."
"Oh."
Wei Lai's mouth twitched, feeling sorry for the busy Sun Tiantian.
Even though sugar is sweet, be wary of scams.
