[Happy Chubster: Many asked me to introduce you to them. I have given them your WeChat information. Do as you see fit.]
Meaning that it was up to Gu Shishi whether she wanted to pay them any attention or not.
Gu Shishi did not have her Ink Painting Guru’s old cellphone with her when she left for work.
Now that she was flipping through it at night, there were, indeed, a lot of chat windows from people that she didn’t know.
Some were just saying hi. Others asked for her paintings. Some asked her to attend Chinese painting gatherings…. Even Huo ChuChu had messaged her.
[Sister-in-law, my mom and my grandma want your paintings too ORZ… They used up all the tissues in the car on our way home day. Both tears and snots coming out at the same time.]
[By the way, your painting seemed to have reminded them of Big Brother! Sister-in-law, how did you do that? That was incredible!]
Gu Shishi felt a bit embarrassed.
The effect was that good?
They were completed enlightened and bawled their eyes out?
She replied Huo ChuChu expressing that she would not have time to painting anything for her mother for the time being.
She has not responded to anyone else.
She was a busy person.
She didn’t have that much free time.
After taking a bath, Gu Shishi shook her head and sighed.
She was just a pitiful soul who was forced to replay scenes in Korean drama by the system!
After she had quickly wrapped her wet hair up with a towel, she resorted to a sigh and started doing eeny, meeny, miny, moe with the assignments from the system.
“Eeny, meeny, miny, moe. Catch a tiger by the toe. If he hollers let him go. Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.”
Finally, her finger landed unfortunately on coffee kiss.
Wonder. Middle of the night. Coffee!!! Simply incredible!!!
Gu Shishi did not believe in fate but, after some consideration, she couldn’t possibly make noodles in the middle of the night and force the boss to eat the same strand as her nor could she possibly go see him with a piece of tissue… Finally, she gritted her teeth and made a cup of Nestle 3-in-1 instant coffee in her cat paw cup.
She just bought that over lunch today at the supermarket with Ling Xiaomei!
An entire box of 12.
She must be able to succeed in one of the 12 times!
Done thinking, Gu Shishi, carrying the cup of coffee with her back straight and her chest thrusted out, walked out of her room and stepped onto the Persian rug in the hallway….
She cleared her throat and knocked on the door to the boss’s study.
Then, she lowered her head and took a big gulp of the milk coffee!
Most importantly, there need to be milk form around her lips… Mmmhmm!
That way…
When the door to the room opened, Gu Shishi suddenly realized a detail that she had overlooked!
Instant coffee had no foam!
Gosh darn it!
Her little face twisted.
“Hehe, Huohuohuohuo, would you like to have some coffee?”
That was the goofy line that Huo Sishen heard when his tall and handsome body appeared by the door.
Huo Sishen paused for a little bit at the entrance to his study when he figured out what Gu Shishi had just said.
“Coffee at 11 PM?”
The girl standing in front of the door had a cat claw mug in her hand and, clearly, she had already taken a sip out of it.
It wasn’t even bought specifically for him.
Turning to look at the clock on the wall, he couldn’t help but frowned.
Drinking coffee at this hour? Did she plan to stay up all night tonight?
Gu Shishi started to sweat. She was anxious to complete her assignments.
And anxiousness brought about oversights.
She pursed her lips a little and she didn’t even need a mirror to know that never mind about foam, there wasn’t even any sign of coffee on her face right now.
Round 1, a complete failure!
“Hmmm… yeah, I just felt like some all of a sudden,” said Gu Shishi, embarrassed, as she stroked the side of the mug with her finger.
“Em….. goodnight then.”
She then turned around to leave with her cheeks flushed.
