Xiaomei turned the doorknob and let out a soft "Wow" at the scene before her. Her eyes squinted into two smiling parentheses.
Scattered clothes littered the floor. On the single bed, the young master was wrapped in the quilt, only his eyes showing. He looked around, not knowing where to fix his gaze—just like a bullied young bride.
"You... Why are you here!"
"Miss called me here. She's gone for her morning exercise. She said there was a drunk in the dorm who needed my help." After Xiaomei finished speaking, she clapped her hands twice. The servants outside filed in one by one, standing in a line in order, each carrying a large suitcase.
Gu Bei was shocked. "What are you doing?"
Xiaomei opened each suitcase one by one. The suits were all brand - new. There were also casual shirts, polo shirts, and sportswear, neatly arranged inside. They were all the clothes Gu Bei usually wore. She took them out and handed them to the servants, pointing at the wardrobe. "Hang them up."
Gu Bei blushed to the roots of his ears when he saw a row of white briefs on display in front of everyone. He shouted, "Put them back!"
Xiaomei, who was used to such things, deliberately took them out and held them in her palm for Gu Bei to see. "I'm the one who usually washes the young master's underwear. Why are you so shy?" Then she handed them to the servant. "Put them in too."
Gu Bei was about to go crazy. If he wasn't wearing Xie Bingxia's pajamas, he would have grabbed Xiaomei and thrown her out. Xiaomei continued insensitively, "Xiaomei is thinking about the young master! Only when everything is prepared for you can you build a loving nest with the miss!"
Build your head! Gu Bei glared at her and said, "I'm going to the company. Get me a suit right away!"
"Sure thing!" Xiaomei obediently went to get the suit.
Gu Bei then ordered the servants, "Turn around and close your eyes." The servants looked at each other but still obeyed the order and turned around. Gu Bei rolled back and forth on the bed a few times to make sure the quilt was tightly wrapped around him, then got out of bed and shuffled towards the bathroom like a caterpillar.
After changing into his own clothes in the bathroom, Gu Bei finally felt relieved. He straightened his collar and walked out with his head held high.
But as soon as he walked out, he was stunned again. Was this really Xie Bingxia's dorm? Xiaomei had somehow transformed it into a luxury apartment in such a short time. She was making coffee and preparing breakfast in the simple kitchen.
Incredible! She even managed to get a coffee machine.
Xiaomei was incredibly fast. In just a few minutes, she had served a simple American breakfast on the table. She checked her watch and murmured, "The miss should be back soon."
There was a noise at the door. Qin Feng saw the dorm door was open and walked in without any hesitation. He was holding soy milk, fried dough sticks, and freshly cooked minced meat congee. "Bingxia, I brought breakfast..." As he said this, he locked eyes with Gu Bei.
Oh no! There seemed to be several electric currents crackling between them.
"Why are you here?" Qin Feng looked around and immediately showed a look of disdain. "Such bad taste. You even have to meddle in Bingxia's dorm. Making it so gaudy. How vulgar!"
Xiaomei was unhappy. She stepped forward and retorted, "Who are you calling vulgar? Huh? Who? I'm the one who did this. So what? Does it bother your eyes?" The young master's love rival. She definitely couldn't show weakness easily!
Qin Feng didn't want to waste his breath on this little girl. He put the breakfast on the table and said to Gu Bei, "Bingxia likes to have Chinese food when she comes back from her morning exercise. Don't you know that?"
Facing his rudeness, Gu Bei elegantly picked up his coffee cup and took a sip. "She was exhausted last night. Xiaomei, fry one more egg for her to replenish her energy."
Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky—what did "exhausted" mean? Did something happen last night... Qin Feng swallowed hard and stole a glance at the bed. Xiaomei immediately caught his little move and said, "Young master, I've already ordered a double - bed. It's your favorite brand. It will be delivered this afternoon."
"Good job." Gu Bei praised. Xiaomei was really helpful. They made a great team.
"Aaaaah! Gu Bei, are you a brute? You even can't let your own sister go!" Qin Feng couldn't hold back his anger and shouted.
"Watch your words." Gu Bei corrected him. "She's not my sister. She's my—woman."
Since Xie Bingxia wasn't around, Gu Bei could say whatever he wanted. He must crush this annoying dog's morale today. This guy was so thick - skinned.
"Who's your woman?" Xie Bingxia came back from her morning exercise. She heard this sentence as soon as she reached the door. Oh, the one with the thickest skin was probably Boss Gu!
"Bingxia—" Qin Feng, feeling wronged, immediately turned into a teary - eyed puppy and looked for his master to seek justice.
Xie Bingxia was wearing tight sportswear. Her face was slightly red after running three kilometers. The fine beads of sweat on her neck exuded a charming aura. She wiped the sweat with her sports towel, walked up to Gu Bei, and kicked the chair he was sitting on. "You should go to work."
"Don't be in a hurry. Sit down and have breakfast with me."
"I want to eat Chinese food."
Gu Bei gave her a sidelong glance. He wanted to give a mandatory order but then remembered his loss of control last night. He swallowed the words back and coughed twice.
"Miss, I came here early in the morning to clean your room and make breakfast for you. You're being so ungrateful!" Xiaomei played the victim, looking extremely aggrieved, almost on the verge of crying.
"You have the nerve to say that? What have you done to my dorm?" Xie Bingxia was angry. "I want you to restore it to its original state by twelve noon!"
Xiaomei shut up. Gu Bei put down his coffee cup, stood up, and said, "If you don't want to eat, fine. This... this... all these fried foods are bad for your health. They'll make all your exercise go to waste. You decide for yourself."
Even though Xie Bingxia was clearly on the annoying dog's side, he couldn't back down. His pride was at stake. He would find a chance to punish this little white rabbit who always sided with others later.
"I'm going to work," Gu Bei tilted his head towards Xie Bingxia. "See me off."
Xie Bingxia had to give him this little bit of face. She walked Gu Bei to the door. Suddenly, Gu Bei turned around, put his arm around her waist, and pulled her into his arms. The next second, he kissed her on the forehead. "Wait for me obediently tonight. I'll come back here." Then he gave a provocative smile to the stunned Qin Feng. Only when he saw the other man scratching his head in anger was he satisfied.
Xie Bingxia twitched the corner of her mouth. After a while, she gritted out two words, "Gu Bei..." She held up her phone in front of Gu Bei's eyes and whispered in his ear, "If you do anything out of line in front of others again, I'll plaster this photo all over the streets!"
Gu Bei stared at the phone. For a moment, his breath stopped. He tried hard to suppress his shock and whispered back, "You... You actually took a picture of my..."
"Isn't it beautiful?" Xie Bingxia gently patted Gu Bei's face. "It's you who should be obedient." Then she pushed him away. "Go to work."
Gu Bei almost fled in a hurry. The photo of him in a nightgown, looking extremely shy and drunk, had already dealt a serious blow to his psyche. After dealing with one person, Xie Bingxia came back and grabbed Qin Feng. "You go to class too. Don't come here for no reason."
Qin Feng left dejectedly. Xie Bingxia then went to deal with the last one. She pointed at Xiaomei. "Restore it by twelve o'clock."
Xiaomei was very curious. "Miss, what did you show the young master just now? Let me have a look too!"
"Get out of here. You're so disrespectful. Do you think you can look at the intimate things between me and Gu Bei?" Xie Bingxia opened the wardrobe. Gu Bei's various clothes came into view. "Xiaomei!"
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll clean it up right away."
Xie Bingxia sighed helplessly and changed into her daily clothes. She had no classes in the afternoon but had an appointment with an important person. Yan Xiaoyi had given her the "crew" list yesterday. She realized that it would be difficult for her to deal with Yuan Yiyun alone. She needed a helper. So she called Xie Shuwen. As far as she knew, Xie Shuwen had a very powerful media friend who might be able to help.
As soon as Xie Shuwen heard that it was about dealing with Gu Bei, she was more than willing. She quickly made the connection and set the time and place for the meeting. In the afternoon, Xie Bingxia arrived as scheduled and saw a slightly plump man sitting at the reserved table.
Xie Bingxia sat down, sized the man up from head to toe, and then said, "You're not the person I'm here to meet. I'm sorry, but I have to leave."
