Xiao Yang turned his gaze to see Qiao Yin walking in with a bag of boxed meals in one hand and a bag of drinks in the other. When she made eye contact with Xiao Yang, she simply hurriedly flashed a smile along with a nod, then she turned to Yan Cong, whose big eyes were already crescent moons, "I noticed the weather was hot, so I bought a few bottles of soda. I don’t know if you guys will like it or not, but at any rate, it's cold, so just consider it as something to relieve the heat."
"Thank you for the hard work! You even bought sodas, so generous!" Yan Cong said as he happily received the bag of food without a care for anything else. But he didn't forget to introduce her to the colleagues around, so he turned around and said, "This is lawyer Qiao Yin, old Xiao’s neighbor. She was also a witness in the case of Li Cheng last time. Today, to show her gratitude, she's specially treating us to eat this meal."
He gave Xiao Yang a wink as he spoke, but the other party calmly sat unmoving behind his desk, with his attention long since withdrawn from Qiao Yin. He had his head down flipping through the calendar, with no intention to speak. Everyone's curiosity was immediately piqued, but seeing Xiao Yang's lukewarm reaction, no one dared to speak for a while, in the end, they could only keep thanking Qiao Yin.
Qiao Yin happily laughed and quickly handed out the box lunches with Yan Cong. Finally, when she delivered Xiao Yang’s share to him, she sighed and quietly said to him, "I have been busy these days. I finally had a break today. When do you have time? I would like you to teach me two dishes."
Qiao Yin's attire was different from her usual formal wear, today she was wearing a more casual dress, a sleeveless white top with a little black floral design with a knee-length black silk skirt, along with a pair of white wedged heels. Her hair was also twisted up in a casual bun. If it wasn't for the little makeup she had on, she would really have looked like a college student.
"Mmm." Xiao Yang went as he received the lunch box and opened it. He glanced at the black pepper chicken fried rice in the plastic lunch box and very coldly replied, "I don't have time recently."
Looking at her behavior now, it seemed that she didn't care about him intentionally leaving early the other day. Her attitude was so enthusiastic, it seemed that she had really been too busy to contact him. Xiao Yang calmly raised his eyebrows, he was not sure what she was planning, so he decided to simply receive the attack thrown at him instead of attacking himself.
"Then, will you be free the day after tomorrow?" Qiao Yin asked, not frustrated. She still looked at him with a smile, even the small dimples at the corners of her mouth appeared, "I'm going to a university reunion, I will be there for two days so I want to ask if you can help me feed my pet turtle in my house for two days. Just feed it once a day, it's easy to care for."
The quiet conversation between the two people attracted everyone's attention. Someone finally couldn't restrain their curiosity, and craned their neck over and asked: "Say, Lawyer Qiao and Leader Xiao are neighbors, how come we haven't heard from leader Xiao about having such a beautiful neighbor?"
Xiao Yang glared at him with his beautiful pair of eyes and flatly said, "Eat your meal." Then he raised his eyebrows and turned to Qiao Yin, "I'll come to get from you tonight."
Qiao Yin nodded, obviously very happy.
So that evening, after he got home from work, he went to her apartment to fetch the turtle. Qiao Yin kept the little guy in a big wooden basin in the kitchen and instructed that he had to move the basin to his house. When Xiao Yang saw this "turtle" with thick skin and body, he could not help raising his eyebrows: "This is a turtle?"
Qiao Yin squatted by the basin and raised her head to look at him, smiling, looking somewhat embarrassed, "It's a tortoise."
Xiao Yang's expression didn't change much, as he glanced at her and asked, "raised to eat?"
Grasping at the small smile at the corner of his lips, she looked at him with big eyes and shook her head solemnly: "No, I don't eat tortoises." Then she lowered her head, opened her bright eyes, and gently touched the turtle's shell. "I only drink the soup..."
"..." He thought that he had really overestimated her.
