Huh? Are villainous bosses this easy to flirt with?

Chapter 107 The Hamster Itself

The paparazzi taking photos were startled by the sudden noise, which gave them goosebumps.

He slowly turned his head and saw that Xie Qing, whom he had just been looking for, was now standing silently behind him.

Xie Qing's slender, fair fingers gently pulled down her mask, revealing a strikingly beautiful face.

When the paparazzi saw Xie Qing's beautiful face, they forgot to run away for a moment and just stood there staring at her.

She was still without makeup! Completely without makeup!!!

The paparazzo was inwardly fretting, having always believed that Xie Qing's online photos were heavily photoshopped and that she certainly wasn't that good-looking in real life.

But now, he realizes his initial thoughts were complete nonsense; he's clearly much better looking in person than in photos!

A cold glint flashed in Xie Qing's eyes, but his face wore a gentle smile, behaving like a kind older brother next door. He asked, "Are you taking pictures of me?"

The paparazzi was jolted back to reality by those words, a sudden sense of tension rising within him. He stammered, "Ah...oh...okay...it seems like...I'm filming...filming you."

Holy crap, he actually told the truth!!!

Xie Qing was taken aback. He thought the other party would at least offer some explanation, but he didn't expect them to be so...honest.

"My friend isn't in the industry. If you post the photos online, it might cause him trouble. Please delete them."

Xie Qing's tone remained gentle, and coupled with that extremely deceptive face, the paparazzi instantly felt a strong sense of guilt.

He thought to himself, Xie Qing is not only beautiful, but also has such a good temper.

Instead of getting angry about being secretly photographed, she even discussed it with herself.

Thinking back on his act of secretly taking photos, he immediately felt that he was committing a heinous crime.

The paparazzi were incredibly fast; in no time at all, they had deleted all the photos they had just taken.

His heart was pounding, and he stammered, "Deleted...deleted."

Xie Qing was stunned again. He was prepared for the other party to refuse and then run away, but the other party deleted him so easily.

Could there be a backup?

The paparazzi met Xie Qing's suspicious gaze and instantly understood what he was thinking.

Eager to prove his innocence, he raised his voice slightly, "No backup!"

"This camera...is brand new...I just bought it, and I haven't...installed the memory card yet. You...can...check it."

As he spoke, he handed the camera to Xie Qing.

Xie Qing didn't stand on ceremony. He took the camera from the other party and examined it. After finding that it was indeed as the other party had said, he returned the camera to them.

The paparazzi awkwardly held out his camera, offering a very sincere apology, "Um... I'm sorry, it was wrong of me to take... take photos without permission..."

"I understand; it's my duty."

Xie Qing responded calmly, paused, and then continued, "I hope you can become a good reporter."

After saying that, Xie Qing slowly pulled up his mask, revealing his delicate and beautiful eyebrows and eyes. He said "I'm leaving" and then walked away.

The paparazzi, Yu Bo, stood there blankly, lost in thought.

A year ago, when he first entered the industry, he also vowed that he would become an excellent journalist.

However, time flies, and a year has passed.

He gradually became assimilated by the complex workplace environment, and his original aspirations were gradually covered with dust, which accumulated more and more over time.

Before he knew it, he had become one of those paparazzi who specialize in digging up gossip and entertainment news, and who follow and photograph people all day long.

Yu Bo lowered his eyes, looking at the camera in his hand, and couldn't help but ask himself, is this really what he wanted?

……

Xie Qing returned to the hot pot restaurant, and Tao Tao quickly called out, "Brother Qing, come quick! Your favorite shrimp paste is ready!"

Xie Qing sat down unhurriedly, picked up a round shrimp paste with her chopsticks, dipped it in chili oil, and coated it with the bright red and tempting chili oil.

Then, he put the shrimp paste into his mouth, one bite at a time, eating with great pleasure.

"Brother Qing, why did you take so long?"

Tao Tao puffed out his cheeks, looking a bit like a hamster hoarding food.

Xie Qing swallowed the food in her mouth and said calmly, "I ran into an acquaintance when I came out of the restroom, and we chatted for a bit."

He stretched out his long, slender fingers and poked the other person's puffed-out cheeks, reminding him, "Swallow your food before you speak."

Tao Tao nodded repeatedly, chewing the food in his mouth quickly, his cheeks puffing out faster as well.

Xie Qing's shoulders trembled involuntarily as she laughed, "Tao Tao, you look exactly like a hamster! So cute!"

When Tao Tao heard him say this, her round almond-shaped eyes widened slightly, filled with disbelief.

He was about to retort when Xie Qing burst into laughter again, "Hahaha...it's even more like it now..."

Tao Tao's face was still flushed, and he retorted seriously, "I'm not a hamster."

Xie Qing suppressed a laugh and nodded slightly in response, "Yeah, I know, I didn't say you were a hamster."

"Hurry up and eat something, or it'll get overcooked."

Tao Tao nodded obediently, then lowered her head and silently ate the meatballs in her bowl.

Xie Qing glanced at the way the other person ate, their cheeks puffing out, just like a hamster!

For the remaining few days, Xie Qingzhen stayed with Huo Yunting as he had promised, and didn't go anywhere else.

However, time flies, and the day for Xie Qing to join the crew finally arrived.

Airport in City A.

"I'm going in."

Xie Qingwei stepped forward and opened her arms to hug Huo Yunting.

He whispered in Huo Yunting's ear, "Remember to miss me!"

"it is good."

Huo Yunting responded, holding Xie Qing tightly around the waist with both hands, his tone full of reluctance.

Meanwhile, Chu Luo, a single guy, stood not far away, dragging two pieces of luggage, and ate the dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection) with gusto.

"Sigh, why can't I find a partner?"

He's clearly a handsome guy too!!!

"You're too stingy."

Xu Xingmu, who had parked his car and come over, answered the other person's questions without hesitation.

Chu Luo retorted, "I'm not being stingy, I'm just being frugal."

Xu Xingmu glanced at him calmly, "So, this is your reason for always coming to my house to freeload."

Chu Luo raised her hand and touched her nose somewhat embarrassedly, "Well... I was the one washing the dishes."

As he spoke, he moved closer to Xu Xingmu and continued, "Brother Xingmu, I'm leaving soon, and we won't see each other for several months. Won't you miss me?"

Xu Xingmu twitched the corner of his mouth. "It's not like he's dead."

Chu Luo: "..."

Seemingly realizing that her words had been too harsh, Xu Xingmu coughed twice and then said, "Anyway, take care."

Chu Luo immediately smiled and said, "Okay, Brother Xingmu."

"Assistant Chu, we should go now."

Xie Qing released Huo Yunting, raised his voice slightly, and called out in Chu Luo's direction.

"Oh, here we come."

Chu Luo turned her head to look at Xu Xingmu, "Brother Xingmu, I'm leaving."

"Ah."
