“6,000.” Huo Siqian was wearing a bathrobe as he leaned against the door frame. He was sure that Huo Mian would stay.
“Deal.”
Carrying her bag, Huo Mian turned around and walked in.
Huo Mian was dressed rather cumbersomely today. It was winter in the north, so no one dared to not wear a down jacket, aside from those beautiful women.
Huo Mian wore a white down jacket.
Inside was a red sweater with a pair of jeans and white snowshoes.
In reality, this was a standard look for students, but to Huo Siqian, it was still old-fashioned.
After Huo Mian came in, she didn’t even take off her down jacket and asked Huo Siqian, “Where’s the computer?”
He pointed to the workstation in the corner of the living room where a Samsung ultra-slim laptop was lying. It was black.
“I’ll use the computer to do it. I need to look up a lot of information online…”
Huo Mian looked at her watch. “I need two hours.”
“No problem.”
“Please pay the deposit first.” Huo Mian didn’t let him off.
“Sister Mian, you don’t trust me even a little?” Huo Siqian laughed; he thought she was cute.
Especially when she was asking for a deposit with a serious face.
“Don’t try to get close to me. Pay the deposit and I’ll start working.” Huo Mian looked at him calmly.
Huo Siqian stretched, walked to the sofa, and picked up a black Prada bag.
He took out a bundle of RMB notes.
“This is 10,000 yuan. It’s all yours.”
Huo Siqian threw the money over. Huo Mian picked it up, looked at it, and placed the money on the table.
Then, she turned on the computer and started working.
“Are the shoes I gave you comfortable to wear?” Huo Siqian asked.
“I didn’t wear them.”
“Tsk tsk… Sister Mian, you don’t seem to appreciate my kindness… but I don’t understand why you’re so bitter about everything I give you. You accept whatever Qin Chu gives you…”
Upon hearing Qin Chu’s name, Huo Mian stopped what she was doing.
“Did you ask me to write a thesis or are you curious about my gossip?”
“Hehe, I was just asking casually, don’t be nervous.”
“When I’m working, please don’t interrupt, or it will affect my efficiency.”
“Okay, okay, okay, go ahead…”
Seeing Huo Mian’s attitude, Huo Siqian decided not to disturb her.
He picked up a book from the shelf and sat on the sofa to read.
Huo Mian, on the other hand, sat in front of the computer and focused on her work.
Huo Siqian looked at his hands and suddenly felt bored.
Then he went into the bedroom and took out his drawing board and paintbrush.
He sat on the sofa and looked at Huo Mian’s side profile. Then, he quietly began drawing.
Huo Mian never knew how beautiful her side profile was.
Huo Siqian would never tell her that during the two hours she spent in his house that day.
She was as dazzling as a star. Just like that, he traced Huo Mian’s every move.
Including those clear eyes…
But because it was just a side profile, he was always a bit regretful.
Two hours later, Huo Mian finished the thesis and Huo Siqian finished his drawing.
In order not to let Huo Mian find out, he pulled down the drawing board.
“I’m done. Check it and see if it’s okay.” Huo Mian got up and rubbed her sore shoulders.
“So fast… Did you copy it online?” Huo Siqian smiled.
“If you don’t trust me… Why did you hire me?”
“I’m just joking… You’re being serious again.”
“I don’t think I’m close enough to joke around with you… Hurry up and check. I’m in a hurry.”
Huo Mian urged Huo Siqian.
