"Little Xi, what are you guys up to?"
Song Daiyao, who finally had a day off and was planning to go home, was stopped by a few of her girlfriends before she could leave.
They then told her to dress up nicely, saying they were going out to eat something good.
As it turned out, after getting ready and coming out, the ones who wanted to eat had brought her to a place that even a local like herself couldn't name.
Anyway, their whole operation was very mysterious, and she still didn't know what these few young ladies were up to.
If they weren't such good friends, she would have suspected that the three of them were planning to sell her.
"Alright, this is it. We'll have a big meal later."
They had brought the person to the right spot. With this big meal, Zhao Huasheng wouldn't shortchange them, right?
"What is this?"
Looking around, only a pink long veil hanging not too far in front was eye-catching.
She immediately took a liking to it. There were also many flowers nearby, and it looked a bit like a wedding setup.
"You'll know if you go take a look."
Song Daiyao pointed at herself. "Me?"
"Yes."
The three of them spoke and even pushed her forward, urging her to go.
"Alright then, I'll go take a look."
She was indeed quite curious and wanted to figure out what these people were planning.
But the moment she lifted the veil, she was stunned.
Why is this silly boy here?!!!
"Yaoyao, I love you."
"No, didn't I already agree!"
After taking the flowers, Song Daiyao came to her senses and started to laugh.
"But I also said it needs to be formal."
He was a patient, lying in a hospital bed, which was really not suitable.
In any case, his girl deserved the same romance as anyone else.
"Okay, I agree."
To do it thoroughly, since he wanted a bit of romance, she wouldn't be coy.
"Alright, seal it!"
"Mhmm!"
Then, their first intimate contact happened, witnessed by these people.
"Clap clap clap!"
"Zhao Huasheng, don't forget our big meal!"
"Don't worry! I won't forget!"
"Then you two enjoy your private time here. We'll head back to the dorm."
"Thank you so much!"
...
"Beep!"
"Mission complete! Reward: 5% shares of Xuanxing, Silken Jade Hands have been issued."
As soon as Qiu Xi returned to the dorm, she heard the system's broadcast. Judging by the reward, it seemed like there had been a breakthrough in her cousin's project.
Just as she was thinking this, her phone rang.
"Brother, what's up?"
Even if she knew, she had to pretend she didn't.
"Little Xi, I have good news for you. Our problem has been solved."
Thanks to Little Xi's help, the problem that had been troubling them for so long was finally resolved.
As soon as the experiment was finished, he immediately came to report the good news to their great contributor.
"Really! Does that mean I'll be able to break even soon?"
This girl was still so money-minded!
Hearing the laughter from the other end of the phone, Xu Xuanming chuckled inwardly.
"Yes, you investment magnate will soon break even."
"Hehehe~"
Although she could hear the teasing in her brother's voice, Qiu Xi was still very happy.
The money she had invested was finally going to pay off!
It's just that these points still required her to work harder!
She hoped that by the time she graduated, she could retire directly!
"Then brother, you'd better work hard. Capital is stingy, and even though I'm your sister, I'm no exception."
"Alright, alright!"
"Come on! Keep up the good work~"
"Okay, I won't chat with you much longer. When you're back, I'll bring you here to take a good look."
The purpose of this call was to share the good news. He was actually quite busy at the moment.
After all, he had just broken through a bottleneck, which meant even more work.
"Okay!"
"Little Flower, use Silken Jade Hands!"
In a good mood, Qiu Xi immediately remembered this reward.
"Okay, Silken Jade Hands have been used."
Then Qiu Xi started staring at her hand.
Seeing the small bone on her pinky finger slightly protruding, Qiu Xi still felt a little uncomfortable. It affected the shape of her hand.
Looking at it now, she remembered middle school, when she was preparing for the sports exam. She had chosen basketball. When passing the ball with her classmates, she was hit by the ball. At the time, she didn't feel much, but as time went by, she realized the problem.
The joint of her pinky finger was a bit bumpy, not straight at all, which made her very frustrated.
"Little Flower, do you think this reward will fix this?"
The more Qiu Xi looked, the more she wanted to know the result, so she asked Little Flower.
"Scanned. Little Xi, don't worry, it'll be fine."
Qiu Xi was a little excited. "Really?"
"Of course, please trust the system's rewards!"
Qiu Xi, filled with joy, started spinning around. "Good, good, good, then I'll wait."
Today was full of great news. Had she become a lucky charm!
Happy!
...
A few days later, Qiu Xi received a package.
This time, there was a sender's name on it: Mom.
"Little Xi, this isn't another birthday gift, is it?"
"Probably. My mom sent it."
Since it was her birthday tomorrow, Qiu Xi guessed it was probably a gift from her mother.
She had already received gifts from her girlfriends and thought her family wouldn't send anything.
"Then open it quickly!"
Last year, the coming-of-age gift her parents gave to Little Xi was exceptionally stylish, and this year they wanted to join in the fun.
"Mhmm."
With a slash of the utility knife, Qiu Xi opened it.
"Wow~"
"It's a bit pretty!"
This year's gift also included a dress. The style wasn't as intricate, a light purple color, with a hint of wisteria.
Before Qiu Xi could even try it on, her friends felt it suited her inexplicably.
"This feels so right!"
"Little Xi, try it on for us!"
For the first time, her friends were so eager for Qiu Xi to wear something.
Because Qiu Xi was too good-looking, they sometimes didn't care about the clothes, just her face.
But this dress was really special! Especially tasteful!
"Wait, I'll make a call first."
Qiu Xi had an idea but wasn't sure, so she decided to ask her mother first.
"Okay, then hurry up."
"Mhmm."
"Hello, Little Xi, what are you doing?"
"Mom, I received the package you sent!"
"So fast!"
She had only sent it out the afternoon before yesterday.
"That light purple dress..."
"Oh my, I made it for you. I prepared for a long time. How does it feel?"
As expected, Qiu Xi's heart stirred.
"It's very good, I like it very much, thank you, Mom."
"Let me tell you, your Aunt Zhang and I are doing quite well now. Although it's just the beginning and the results aren't great."
Speaking of this, Mom became happy again.
She had originally wanted to support herself in her old age and fulfill her dream, but she never expected to achieve such results.
Qiu Xi was also happy for her mother. "That's great! I'll have to take a good look when I get back."
"Okay~"
The mother and daughter chatted for quite a while, with one speaking and the other listening.
