SWG Chapter 50

Chapter 50

“Let’s go, Teacher Xiao, why don’t you like moving around so much?”

Ruan Shengyi stood outside the guest room door, gently shaking the door panel, her voice carrying a hint of coquettishness.

The woman leaning against the bed, flipping through a book, remained unmoved.

How did she not like moving? This fellow had heard from somewhere that she shouldn’t sit for long periods, so she stopped at every service station, insisting on dragging her out of the car for a walk no matter how cold it was outside, and always had to buy something to eat, circling around until she found something delicious.

Was the food at the service stations really that good?

Xiao Wenyu didn’t think so, but she could accept the snacks, so it often happened that she was holding a bag of cookies while the Ruan boss was eating wonton soup.

That particular boss really loved wonton soup and liked to add chili oil to it.

It was really unfair to her to have to accompany her to eat congee hot pot.

She thought that this kind of life would end after they arrived, but the boss was really trying her best to fulfill the promise of taking her out to play. In just two days, they had almost finished shopping in several large shopping malls in the city, having three meals a day near the supermarkets, taking a nap in the hotel when they were tired, and then waking up and continuing.

Really, from morning to night, tirelessly.

So, now, on the evening of the third day of the trip, she was definitely not going out with this person again! No matter how much she hummed and hawed, it was no use.

Ruan Shengyi dragged her arms and sat on the edge of the bed, gently pulling down the book that was covering her face, meeting the woman’s slightly resentful eyes, and smiled, “How about we don’t walk tonight?”

“Then what are we going out for?” Xiao Wenyu rolled her eyes at her.

Ruan Shengyi: “Let’s go camping, well, not really camping. Let’s take a look at the desert at night before the night gets too deep and the dew gets heavy?”

“Boss Ruan, it’s almost November…” Xiao Wenyu felt particularly speechless, “If we go out at this time, we’ll freeze to death, let alone go to the desert.”

The place she usually lived in was also in the northwest, but it was actually quite far from the desert. Although the temperature difference between morning and evening was large, it wasn’t as exaggerated as “wearing cotton-padded jackets in the morning and gauze in the afternoon.” Now that she was staying on the edge of the desert, she really felt the huge temperature difference between noon and evening. At noon, she could even go out wearing only a thick coat, but in the morning and evening, she wouldn’t dare to take her hands out without wearing a cotton-padded jacket.

Go camping at this time?

Xiao Wenyu glanced at the time, 8:30 pm, it was already dark, and the temperature was starting to drop. Going out would just be freezing.

But that fellow was still discussing with her, “I have a way, it definitely won’t be cold, okay?”

“I’m not lying in the car.”

“Of course not lying down, I brought a tent, and the top is already set up, just need to seal the bottom.”

“…” No wonder there was such a big cylinder in the trunk.

But this person was already so earnest, and the preparation work was so complete…

Xiao Wenyu could only sigh lightly, “Let’s go then, I’ll go pick out clothes.”

“Wear something thick, remember to bring your camera~”

Xiao Wenyu said indignantly, “I’m not bringing it!”

She really didn’t know if she was here to play or as a photography tool!

Before long, the dressed person came over with a coat, “Teacher Xiao, are you ready?”

No one answered her, but not only was the door open, but the person also seemed to be sitting on the edge of the bed.

Ruan Shengyi quickly poked her head in to look, and the other person was on the phone. She immediately shut her mouth and sat quietly next to Xiao Wenyu.

The phone call was from Li Wan, reporting on her work, who exclaimed, “Teacher Xiao, are you living with Boss Ruan?”

Xiao Wenyu rolled her eyes at the fellow playing with her phone next to her, “No, we’re going out in a while, she’s here to urge me.”

“Hey—how can you urge a pregnant woman to hurry up? Young people, you need to be patient! Can the teacher hear me?”

Xiao Wenyu glanced at the other person who was silently burying her head, and couldn’t help but smile: “She should be able to, continue with the business.”

Li Wan: “Aww~ Teacher! Today’s orders have all been reported, I’m going to start complaining!”

Xiao Wenyu smiled even more: “Go ahead.”

“There were two people, they came, and as soon as they saw you weren’t there, they canceled their orders on the spot, it made me so mad!!”

Xiao Wenyu’s smile deepened: “It’s okay, it means that those orders weren’t ours to begin with, and even if they hadn’t canceled, they might not have been able to get to me, right? Don’t be angry, don’t be angry.”

“Mmhmm…” Remote grooming was very effective, and the little girl hummed twice, “Then you go play, I’m going to start cleaning up too.”

Hanging up the phone, Xiao Wenyu crossed her arms and looked leisurely at the fellow playing with her phone next to her, raising her eyebrows, “Did you hear that? My business is running away.”

Ruan Shengyi refused to be outdone, raised her head, and her eyes under her glasses were bright, “Change to being happy, it’s not a loss!”

“…Let’s go then.”

Xiao Wenyu got up, inconspicuously putting a long box into her pocket, looking at the person in front of her who was wearing a black faux two-piece top and black trousers, with a silver belt around her waist, and sighed inwardly.

The outfit she was wearing today was just right for her to give the gift.

She looked down at herself, also wearing a two-piece set for convenience, a warm white sweater with light-colored wide-leg pants. The belt had naturally said goodbye, but with the sweater on, you couldn’t see the changes in her figure.

However, they both looked good.

She wasn’t afraid of the physical changes in this process at all. It wasn’t that she didn’t know, she knew everything, but these changes were a gift to her. Besides… if the attraction was in the body, then losing it wouldn’t be a bad thing.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wenyu raised her hand and gently hooked the sleeve of the person in front of her.

Ruan Shengyi understood this as a signal, and her already slow pace slowed down even more. The hand that wasn’t holding clothes came back and gently held her hand.

This was a tacit understanding between them that didn’t need to be spoken.

Xiao Wenyu walked two steps faster, and after walking side by side with her, lowered her voice and said, “Boss Ruan’s hair looks really young from behind.”

Ruan Shengyi thought she was going to say something important and leaned over to listen. Hearing this, her face turned cold and she straightened her back.

She was already very young.

Xiao Wenyu: “It’s very beautiful, I like it very much.”

Ruan Shengyi was slightly surprised: “What did you say?”

“…Never mind if you didn’t hear it.”

But the hand that was silently moving over showed that she had heard it, and heard it very clearly, so she gently hugged her side waist.

Xiao Wenyu looked down and smiled: “You won’t be able to wear sweaters so beautifully in the future.”

“There will be even better-looking clothes at that time.” Ruan Shengyi’s voice was calm, but it cut to the most caring and warm words.

Xiao Wenyu gently held the hand on her waist, her expression calm and smiling.

*

When they arrived at the location they had reported in advance, Xiao Wenyu realized that there were more than just them here. If it were summer, this should be a camping base, not far from their hotel. Booking this hotel should also have been deliberate on Ruan Shengyi’s part.

She leaned against the car door, raised her hand to gather her hair, slowly exhaled a breath of white mist, and said softly, “Who was that just now?”

The person she was talking about was a person who was waiting for them at the hotel entrance, and also the owner of these two small electric heaters.

As soon as they came out of the hotel, the person standing outside the door greeted them and said, “Sister Shengyi, you’re finally down.”

Xiao Wenyu was currently following behind Ruan Shengyi, and upon hearing this, slowed down her steps and looked around silently.

Ruan Shengyi took two long cans from the person’s hand and said, “Thanks, and thanks for bringing them over. I’ll return them to you before we leave.”

“Hey, we’re all friends, just remember to return them. Who is this?”

Ruan Shengyi glanced over, and before she could open her mouth, the other person said gently, “The relationship is still to be determined.”

The person smiled knowingly and patted Ruan Shengyi on the shoulder, “I’m leaving first, say hello to Sister Xin for me.”

–

Xiao Wenyu was fine not mentioning it, but when she did, Ruan Shengyi suddenly remembered the last sentence and looked up at her: “Then what does ‘the relationship is still to be determined’ mean?”

Xiao Wenyu smiled: “You answer me first.”

Ruan Shengyi shrugged her shoulders: “Chen Yuexin’s former employee, we fought before, she didn’t beat me.”

“Wow, Boss Ruan was so powerful before?”

“Okay, it’s your turn to answer me… where’s the person?”

The person had gone to take pictures. Even the heavy coat didn’t stop her movements. Her gait was as free as a desert elf, holding the camera in her hand and freely selecting many scenes.

Ruan Shengyi: “…” There was no way, she really couldn’t do anything about this person.

Suddenly, the camera was pointed at her, and Xiao Wenyu’s voice was gentle: “Boss Ruan, look at the camera~”

There was no hesitation about whether to take the picture or not, because this photo would never be circulated, and like those secrets, it only belonged to them.

Ruan Shengyi raised her hand as instructed and made a peace sign.

After the shutter flashed, Xiao Wenyu put down the camera, slightly displeased: “Can you develop some new actions?”

Ruan Shengyi calmed her expression and said lightly, “You develop them first.”

“…” This fellow!

Xiao Wenyu walked over and pinched her ear, “Not good at all.”

“You lied to me first.” The other person’s expression was even calmer, with a hint of grievance.

If there were emojis in real life, then this person would definitely have a pitiful and aggrieved expression right now.

But Xiao Wenyu smiled wildly, “How did I lie to you? Tell me carefully.”

“What does ‘the relationship is still to be determined’ mean?”

“It means what it says.”

Ruan Shengyi let her wrap a strand of her blue hair, alternating it between her fingers, and listened to her whispering, “After all, Boss Ruan hasn’t said anything yet.”

“…” Okay, it was her fault again.

Ruan Shengyi held her breath and turned away, continuing to pack up the tent, not wanting to say a word. Anyway, she couldn’t argue with Xiao Wenyu, so she wasn’t going to say anything. Forget it.

But the other person obviously didn’t want to let her go tonight, walked over and rubbed her ear, softening her voice and said, “It’s all red from the cold, how long will it take? Don’t let our Boss Ruan freeze.”

Ruan Shengyi: …Is this person never going to end tonight?

She was clearly still sulking, how could she just ignore her emotions like this.

Of course, the other person didn’t ignore her emotions. She pressed Ruan Shengyi’s shoulders, bent down slightly, and said in a low voice, “It seems like Boss Ruan should be the one to determine the relationship?”

A Spicy and numb feeling like an electric current instantly broke through all of Ruan Shengyi’s defenses. Her legs softened and she directly knelt on the ground.

Xiao Wenyu didn’t expect such a big reaction. Before she could use her strength to support her, she staggered a step with her and stood still in shock, “It’s not like…”

“…My leg went numb.”

…
