Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Ever since Murong Qiao and Shen Xi went to Yan Xiu’s design studio to avoid the rain that day, Xiao Gu, who had been working at the front desk, realized that there was a regular customer in the studio.

“May I ask about this design…” Shen Xi’s questioning voice sounded not far away.

Xiao Gu put down the work in her hand and walked over as if she was used to it. “These are not for sale. If Young Miss Shen wants to buy some, I’ll send you a message when the boss releases the new products.”

Although that was the case, Shen Xi still came to the studio regularly.

Moreover, ever since the storm stopped that day, when Shen Xi returned home, the servants who had been taking care of her realized that their Young Miss was often distracted.

She looked like she was in a daze. No matter how one looked at it, she looked like she was in love.

“Young Miss? Young Miss?” The servant called out a few times.

Shen Xi took a long time to reply before responding belatedly.

She blushed in embarrassment, but she couldn’t forget how she had seen Yan Xiu that day.

However, what followed was regret. Because she had not been able to see Yan Xiu in person these few days, Shen Xi’s thoughts were not on her clothes.

Such thoughts had been bottled up in Shen Xi’s heart for a few days. Unfortunately, be it the servants at home or her mother, Su Rong, they were not suitable people to confide in.

Shen Xi then thought of Murong Qiao, but she immediately rejected it in her heart. In the end, she turned to Ruan Ying. Hence, after hesitating for a while, she called Ruan Ying.

“Oh… Shen Xi?” A muffled voice came from the other end. It sounded like she had just woken up.

Shen Xi didn’t know what to say and stammered, “Ruan Ying, do you have someone you like?”

“Ah?” Ruan Ying didn’t react for a moment.

After her mind cleared and she understood what Shen Xi’s question meant, she immediately exclaimed.

“Shen Xi, you have someone you like!?” This sentence came from the phone.

The phone was clearly pressed against her ear, but the moment Ruan Ying shouted, Shen Xi still looked around guiltily. Her face was unbelievably red, and her free hand fidgeted along with her thoughts. She kept pinching the corner of her shirt, not knowing how to react.

Then, under Ruan Ying’s crazy questioning, Shen Xi finally stammered and admitted it.

After saying it, Shen Xi felt much lighter. “I just… I like him very much…”

“If you like him, go after him.” Ruan Ying gave her a suggestion. “How would he know if you don’t tell him?”

“But—”

Thinking of Shen Xi’s shy personality, Ruan Ying changed her words. “If you’re too embarrassed to say it, go and interact with him more. You have to know what kind of person he is and if he’s interested in you.”

Ruan Ying’s thoughts were very simple, and Shen Xi listened directly.

Thinking of Yan Xiu’s cold expression that day, Shen Xi indeed realized that she had never confirmed her feelings for him.

“In short, we’ll talk about it after you try it. Otherwise, how do you know if you’ll succeed?” Ruan Ying told her.

Shen Xi, who was originally a little hesitant, immediately calmed down after hearing Ruan Ying’s words and had an idea.

She firmed her heart and said in embarrassment, “This matter is fine. I mean… can it be treated as a secret between the two of us?”

“Of course.” Ruan Ying nodded heavily.

She could still keep her mouth shut.

The girl’s thoughts were sprouting bit by bit. With her courage as nourishment, she gradually grew.

It was also because of her conversation with Ruan Ying that Shen Xi finally mustered her courage.

However, on the contrary, Yan Xiu didn’t feel good.

He didn’t like to go out to begin with, nor did he like to interact with others. He was completely immersed in the magnificence of his design work.

In the end, Shen Xi had been checking in to his design studio for the past few days. Moreover, every time he came out, her gaze would accurately fix on him.

“Mr. Yan!” Shen Xi shouted at him.

It was actually a little presumptuous to shout the other party’s name, but because she didn’t dare to speak the previous few times, it caused Yan Xiu to return to the studio. Shen Xi had no choice but to change her strategy.

Yan Xiu couldn’t possibly do such an impolite thing as ignoring her after she called out his name, so after hearing Shen Xi’s voice, he had no choice but to stop and turn around to look at her, waiting for her to continue.

“This… this is a snack I learned to make at home. I want to give you one as a gift.” Shen Xi handed over the pastry she had brought.

When she brought the pastry out, it was still in the thermos box. Now, it was still a little hot in Shen Xi’s hands.

Yan Xiu shook his head slightly. “No need.”

“Take it, Mr. Yan. Take it as a thank-you gift for the day you let us shelter here from the rain,” Shen Xi insisted.

Seeing that Shen Xi couldn’t stop until she achieved her goal, Yan Xiu could only frown and accept this thank-you gift.

“You—you don’t have to call me Mr. Yan.” Yan Xiu raised this point uncomfortably. “Yan Xiu is fine.”

He was not good at interacting with people to begin with. When he heard Shen Xi call him Mr.Yan every time, his head hurt.

Shen Xi widened her eyes in surprise. “Alright, Yan Xiu.”

Shen Xi said the last two words carefully with a hint of treasure. She looked at Yan Xiu without blinking and couldn’t help but feel happy.

It was as if the distance between the two of them had been shortened.

Yan Xiu didn’t know what to say to Shen Xi, so after accepting the gift from the other party, he quickly ended the topic with a straight face and turned around to return to his studio.

After reaching out and completely closing the door, Yan Xiu finally relaxed his body as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. He placed the pastry on the table beside him and looked outside with an inexplicable expression.

The door of the studio was made of one-way glass, which was also convenient for Yan Xiu to observe the situation in the studio outside. However, he had never thought that it would be useful at this time.

Seeing that Shen Xi had no intention of leaving, Yan Xiu immediately felt that he didn’t even have the mood to complete his work.

He pursed his lips and turned to look at the huge drawing board in his studio, the models, and the messy design drafts on the table. Other thoughts began to appear in his mind.

Then, as if he had made up his mind, Yan Xiu took out his phone and called the front desk.

“Hello? Bo—” Xiao Gu was about to shout.

Yan Xiu stopped her in time. “You don’t have to call me Boss.”

At the thought that Shen Xi was still in his studio, Yan Xiu didn’t want her attention to be attracted again.

Xiao Gu was smart and immediately understood. “Then tell me.”

“There’s a—temporary mission.” Yan Xiu coughed. “Contact the interior renovation department and add a washroom to my workshop.”

This way, he wouldn’t have to go out and meet Shen Xi.

Yan Xiu thought to himself.

Xiao Gu was shocked by this sudden thought. Then, she understood what Yan Xiu meant and looked at Shen Xi, who had yet to give up on leaving. She couldn’t help but smile.

To be able to force the boss to this extent…

For a moment, Xiao Gu didn’t know what to say, but she still obediently agreed to Yan Xiu’s mission.

However, from what she felt, the boss was not annoyed by Miss Shen. At most, he felt that it was troublesome to interact with others.

Xiao Gu flipped through the contacts list to look for a renovation company, but she couldn’t help but form some thoughts about these two people.

After all, the work in the studio was usually too dull and boring. The boss was also a little like an otaku who was afraid of society. After so long, Shen Xi’s appearance had brought a lot of fun to Xiao Gu..
