Xu Jiaojiao’s back was facing him, and her head was banging against the wall as she muttered, “It’s over, it’s all over.”
Her unintentional actions were adorable and silly. Qi Shenbai could not help but smile.
Xu Jiaojiao was still immersed in her own thoughts, pondering how she should face him when he came out later.
Before she could think clearly, she crashed into a hard, warm chest.
It was hard, but it was softer and hotter than a wall. Xu Jiaojiao was stunned. She looked up and met a pair of smiling eyes.
“Stop torturing yourself.” Qi Shenbai raised his eyebrows and met her wet eyes as if he wanted to suck her in.
“Huh?”
Before Xu Jiao jiao could react, Qi Shenbai placed a finger on her forehead and used his other hand to support the back of her head, moving her away.
“Isn’t hitting the wall self-torture? You’re not that smart to begin with. The more you hit the wall, the more brain cells you lose.”
His teasing tone angered Xu Jiaojiao, who was already on the verge of exploding. She practically jumped up and shouted, “You’re the silly one! I’m the smartest!”
Qi Shenbai raised his eyebrows. “Is that so? Forgive my poor eyesight, but I really couldn’t see how you’re the smartest.
“I’ve never seen a smart person run into a wall or thoroughly trust the wrong guy,” Qi Shenbai said subtly. Xu Jiaojiao understood the meaning behind his words.
“This and that are different. Liking someone has nothing to do with being smart.
“In love, everyone is blind.
“Haven’t you heard the saying? ‘Love reduces your IQ?’”
Qi Shenbai glanced sideways at her and plugged in the hairdryer. “Well, you could be worse.”
“What do you mean?”
“You’re not irredeemably stupid. At least you knew to curb his losses in time.”
Xu Jiaojiao looked suspicious. For a moment, she could not tell if he was really praising her or being sarcastic.
“Come here.” Qi Shenbai glanced at the spot in front of them.
“I can do it myself.”
As soon as Xu Jiaojiao finished speaking, he pressed down her shoulder. A warm breeze blew on her scalp, and a trace of warmth rose from her entire body.
The corners of Qi Shenbai’s lips curled up when he saw her satisfied look.
“The longer you stay with me, the more your IQwill improve.”
“…” Xu Jiaojiao harrumphed.
“I’d better do it myself. I’m afraid 1’11 lower your IQ.” She pouted and reached out to snatch the hairdryer.
Qi Shenbai slapped her butt gently.
Xu Jiaojiao’s face instantly flushed red.
Looking up, Qi Shenbai said with a serious expression, “Why are you moving? I told you to sit down and listen.
“Your brother asked me to take good care of you. If anything happens to you, I’m afraid he’ll end his friendship with me.”
For some reason, Xu Jiaojiao suddenly felt a little disappointed. It turned out that he was treating her so well because of her brother… She looked up at him and said stubbornly, “Even if you don’t take care of me, I won’t tell my brother. Besides, you’re his immediate superior. He won’t do anything to you.”
“He won’t do anything to me, but if he gets angry and resigns, it will be a huge loss to the company.” Qi Shenbai’s tone was serious. “Besides, the chief technical officer has too many company secrets. He can’t leave.”
“My brother wouldn’t do that,” Xu Jiaojiao defended Xu Zhengyang with a serious expression. “Moreover, a large corporation like the Qi Group will definitely have a confidentiality agreement.”
Qi Shenbai was amused by her serious expression. “You know about that?”
“Of course, isn’t that how it’s done in television dramas?” She had watched many television dramas about domineering CEOs.
“Lower your head.” Qi Shenbai gently pressed her little head down. His fingertips combed between her fluttering hair, billowing in the hot wind. He did not have much of an expression, but his movements were very meticulous.
Xu Jiaojiao secretly glanced at him from the corner of her eye. Under the warm yellow light, his well-defined face was no longer as fierce as before. Instead, it was more mortal and relatable.
His facial features were deep, handsome, and strong. It was difficult not to be tempted by such a person.
However, not only was Qi Shenbai gorgeous, he also had a status that she could never reach. His family background was unattainable. When she thought of this, Xu Jiao jiao seemed a little depressed and defeated. She muttered, “Qi Shenbai, it’s better if you don’t treat me so well in the future.”
“Huh?” Qi Shenbai looked up at her, but his hands did not stop moving.
“I mean… It’s too easy for people to misunderstand what you’re doing.” Xu Jiaojiao mustered her courage. “If you treat everyone equally well, then you’ll be the sort of ‘Sea King’ that people talk about online.”
Qi Shenbai usually did not have time to surf the Internet and did not pay attention to these things. “What is a Sea King?”
“The Sea King is a guy who treats every girl well. He doesn’t reject any girl’s goodwill towards him.” Could Qi Shenbai really be a playboy that way? That did not sound right… Didn’t he have some sort of phobia?
“I don’t have time to treat every girl well.” Qi Shenbai turned off the hairdryer, rolled up the wire, and placed it on the coffee table. He turned to look at her with a burning, devoted gaze. “Other than my sister, this is the first time I’m drying someone else’s hair..”
