Chapter 956 - Magical Fairy (1/2)

For some inexplicable reason, Bo Jiu felt a bit envious of Xiu right now. She couldn't resist feeling this way. After all, the love and admiration in Asteria and Ava's eyes were really blinding. Even though they counted as just little followers of Xiu, at least, she had some followers.

Unlike people like Bo Jiu! She suddenly felt so useless because of this fact.  ​​

”You're living around here?” asked Xiu.

”Yeah,” answered Bo Jiu dispiritedly. ”There is a new apartment complex around here. I just bought an apartment there.”

”Oh,” responded Xiu nonchalantly. ”By the way, was Spring Festival the only reason for your visit back home this time?”

Bo Jiu shook her head, ”No. I got a job offer here.”

”A job offer?” asked Xiu. ”That's great. What kind of a job is it that you found interesting enough to come back?”

Bo Jiu smiled as she told her, ”The offer came from your father.”

”Which one?” asked Xiu in confusion and a bit of surprise as well.

”Mr. Xin Zimen,” answered Bo Jiu. ”His organization scouted me to be a part of the cyber security department. It's a thrilling place where I get to use my hacking for a great cause. How can I not agree?”

”Wow! You're amazing!” praised Xiu making Bo Jiu blush a little. Xiu patted her shoulder, ”I knew you're born for great things. How can a small enterprise hold back talent like you?”

Bo Jiu was flustered, ”I'm not all that great.”

”Tsk. How can you be still so unconfident in your own talent?” questioned Xiu. ”I have golden eyes. If I said you're amazing then you are! Stop always going against me.”

”Yes, no one goes against our Xiu,” said Ava loudly.

Xiu pinched her nose, ”Xiu's loyal supporter, wipe your mouth. You made a mess while eating.”

Ava smiled sheepishly before she let Xiu wipe her mouth with a handkerchief. She didn't even think she was old enough to do it herself.

Bo Jiu smiled at them as she said, ”Aiyo, you are having fun even on a normal and boring day like today. I am sure you'll have a blast at the Spring Festival.” She sighed loudly as she kept her eyes on Xiu and continued, ”And here I am. Poor me! My parents abandoned me. My sister is also happy with her husband and kids. I'm the pitiful one left alone on this festival of lights. Even my house will be cold on this warm festival. I'll just make some instant noodles to soothe my heart.”

Xiu rolled her eyes at Bo Jiu, ”You can stop your cheap acting. I was just about to invite you over for the Spring Festival. There is no need to add this drama for the spicy effect.”

”Really?” Bo Jiu became excited. She threw caution out the window and hugged Xiu's shoulders saying, ”Boss, you're the best. There is no way around it!”

Xiu shook her head at her, ”Why do you still behave like a kid?”
