Aard Qixi Evening

“Spending this holiday alone is such a shame”

Xiao Hehe alot situated, a text ca site She deleted it without a thought

So today was Qixi, a very irritating holiday

The Qixi Festival, sometimes called the Double Seventh Festival or Chinese Valentine’s Day, occurs on the 7th day of the 7th lunarof the cowherd and weaving girl, two lovers ere separated by a galaxy, only able to meet once a year

Xiao Hehe took the opportunity to send a text, “Dearest Xiao Bao, Mu at the airport at 20:30 Come quickly to pick me up!”

Zheng Xiaobao was her buinally supposed to make this trip, but came up with a lousy excuse, and pushed the errand to Hehe So maybe she wanted to treat hiuy just happened to have bought a car recently He’d patted his chest, and promised that he’d wait for her to return and be his first passenger

She calls him “xiao bao”, literally “little treasure” As far as I’ term that parents may use for their children Incidentally, his real name is also Xiaobao, just with different characters

Before Hehe had boarded the plane, she’d been filled with two bottles of beer by a lively client But she didn’t get to finish her ry, tired, and sleepy

She couldn’t reh her contacts, one by one She finally found hier next to her turned and bumped into her Hehe pressed the “send” button, and a second later, the screen displayed “successfully sent” And then she realized that she hadn’t sent that text to Zheng Xiaobao, but rather Zheng Xie

Hehe started to sweat a bit, and quickly called Zheng Xie to explain The phone kept ringing, but no one picked up He can’t be that petty Hehe didn’t give up and called again Idiot… She should send another text But before she could finish typing, her phone dinged twice and shut off Hehe was dismayed

Then she thought, Zheng Xie seemed to have never responded to her texts Who told her to always send hinores a text once he sees she’s the sender, since she always calls hi Xie probably wouldn’t misunderstand How could she be so ih as his, he’d probably be able to guess that she’d sent theperson

Today was Qixi Zheng Xie wouldn’t be spending it alone There should be a fine glass of wine in his hand, as he enjoys his evening He wouldn’t even notice her mistake

With that thought, Hehe was reassured, and put her head down to sleep But before she could fall asleep, she vaguely recalled that when he was younger, Zheng Xie also had a nicknaet to sleep

––––

There was still a bustling crowd at the airport Once she was past the ticket counter, the girl who had been sitting next to Hehe was pulled into a big e so closely on such a hot day, weren’t they afraid of heatstroke? Xiao Hehe would not admit that she was jealous She just felt that it was i very close now (there’s too many people?)

“Ms Xiao, over here”

As she was stepping outside the airport lobby, she was thinking about whether taking the bus or the taxi would be more expensive Suddenly, she hear a fa Xie’s personal driver, Xiao wang It was no small surprise to Hehe

“Who are you here to pick up? Did Zheng Xie…gege also have a business trip? Or…” Zheng Xie’s nth girlfriend? She promptly sed the second half of that sentence

English doesn’t really have these tere” literally means “brother,” but is also used for older male friends, etc I’ll drop these titles in translation when used in conjunction with a name, but in this case, the pause before she says it (I assuuous relationshi+p

“I’et into the car” Hehe looked up to the sky Strange, the moon was in the sky The color was normal

When she got into the car, she found out that young one to the hospital that afternoon, with a high fever Xiao Hehe was tired and weary, and after three seconds of consideration, she decided to go to the hospital to express her co Xie for 25 years now

In herfor checkups, the hospital was a place you only go to every three or four years The hospital was no better than a maze After numerous turns, she finally arrived at her destination Really, how corrupt it was He was staying in such a large room for a fever How nervous the hospital beds must be

Zheng Xie was leaning up on the bed, the IV still attached to his arht When he saw her enter, his expression didn’t change He just pointed at the bench against the wall,for her to sit

His secretary, Wei Zhixian, sat on a stool beside the bed with a laptop, carefully recording the words that were dictated to him The econo made her dizzy, and in a moment, she had fallen asleep

She was, in fact, tired On her business trip, she’d spent ht’s sleep at all She only hen so her eyes, she saw that it was the elegant Secretary Wei Seeing Hehe wake up, Wei Zhixian sive you a ride?”

Before Xiao Hehe could answer, the young master on the bed said, “No need When I’m done with this, Hehe will leave with me”

“The doctor said you should stay in the hospital overnight for observation…” After seeing his boss’ face, Secretary Wei responded, “Okay, please be sure to rest Director, your phone” He pulled out a shi+ning, limited edition platinum phone from his pocket
