Chapter 378 Ode to Joy 22

Just as Andy covered Qu Xiaoxiao with the blanket, the door suddenly opened and Guan Juer walked in with light steps. She saw Qu Xiaoxiao sleeping soundly at a glance, and a mischievous smile immediately appeared on her face. Guan Juer tiptoed to Qu Xiaoxiao's side, with a curious light in her eyes, stretched out her hand and gently grabbed a strand of her hair, slowly stretched it towards Qu Xiaoxiao's face, wanting to tease this friend who was sleeping soundly.

At the same time, Andy looked up and scanned the room. He found that Qiu Yingying was nowhere to be seen, so he asked, "Where's Xiao Qiu? Why didn't she come back with you guys?"

"She is in a sweet relationship! Look, she just came back. She is going to the supermarket to buy groceries with her boyfriend. It is said that her boyfriend is a great cook and the dishes he makes are delicious. However, I have never seen what her boyfriend looks like." Fan Shengmei said excitedly.

"Hmm... I think I saw it when I went out this morning." Andy frowned slightly and tried to recall. "I did see a man with Qiu Yingying at that time. I guess that must be her boyfriend."

"Who did you meet?" At this moment, Luo Yining happened to come over, and after hearing everyone's conversation, she couldn't help but come forward and ask curiously.

"He's Yingying's boyfriend." Guan Juer replied with a smile.

"What does he look like? Yingying told me that he is a super handsome guy!" Guan Juer blinked her big eyes and asked Qu Xiaoxiao with curiosity.

At this time, Ji Weizhi also walked out of the room, and then sat down leisurely. Seeing this, Luo Yining walked over and sat down next to Ji Weizhi.

Guan Juer looked up and didn't recognize who Ji Weizhi was at first, but Qu Xiaoxiao here had already gotten up, even earlier than Luo Yining.

Qu Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows and replied with a chuckle, "Well, he is Luo Yining's boyfriend." Hearing this, Guan Juer, who was originally looking forward to Andy's answer about what Qiu Yingying's boyfriend looked like, suddenly became a little embarrassed and pursed her lips and said nothing. After all, Guan Juer is shy and introverted. When she meets strangers, she will appear particularly restrained and it is difficult for her to completely let go of herself.

However, when she secretly looked up at Ji Weizhi not far away, she couldn't help but feel sincerely happy for her friend Luo Yining. From the outside, Luo Yining and the handsome boyfriend next to her are simply a perfect match made in heaven. Whether it is height, appearance or temperament, the two complement each other so well.

At this moment, Fan Shengmei finally saw with her own eyes the so-called top man that Qu Xiaoxiao had mentioned. With her years of experience and vision in seeing countless men, she could tell at a glance that Luo Yining's boyfriend not only had a wealthy family and a lot of money, but also had a tall and slender figure and an extraordinarily handsome face. Thinking of this, Fan Shengmei's heart could not help but feel a little bitter. It really fits the saying - those who are flooded will die of floods, and those who are drought-stricken will die of drought. Why can others find such an excellent partner, but she has never been able to meet her ideal husband?

"Handsome guy? Where is he? Let me see him!" Qu Xiaoxiao was instantly excited when she heard the word "handsome guy". At this moment, she couldn't wait to know whether this legendary handsome guy in front of her could compare to Luo Yining's boyfriend even half as well.

Seeing Qu Xiaoxiao's excited reaction, Luo Yining, Andy and others couldn't help but smile at each other.

"Qu Xiaoxiao, you are such a fangirl!" Fan Shengmei couldn't help but tease him with a smile. When Qu Xiaoxiao heard the word "handsome guy", her eyes lit up instantly and she became energetic.

Luo Yining on the side also echoed: "That's right. When I heard the word handsome guy, I felt like I was given an injection of chicken blood and immediately became energetic." After that, everyone burst into laughter.

At this time, Andy slowly said, "Actually, that boy is just a gentle-looking boy, not particularly handsome. However, a study specifically on animals shows that the pulse waves sent by the zero nerve in the brain can directly affect human perception of the external environment. Moreover, the fibers it sends to the retina will directly change the way we process visual information."

After hearing what Andy said, everyone was stunned and looked at each other, totally not understanding what she meant.

Luo Yining was the one who reacted quickly. She said as if she had suddenly realized something: "So that's how it is. So, the saying that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder also has a scientific basis!"

Qu Xiaoxiao was completely confused at this point, and muttered in bewilderment: "Oh my God, how can something like this be related to research..."

While everyone was discussing, Luo Yining accidentally saw a message pop up on Andy's computer screen. She took a closer look and shouted excitedly: "Andy, someone is looking for you on your Facebook! It's a person called Qidian."

At this moment, a slight noise suddenly came from the originally quiet room. Andy keenly caught the sound and turned his head to see a figure walking slowly towards the source of the sound. Sure enough, Andy appeared in front of everyone in a short while.

"Where is the singularity?" Fan Shengmei blinked her big eyes and asked curiously.

At this time, Luo Yining sat quietly beside Ji Weizhi, with a gentle smile on her face: "They are all very nice people, so I brought you here without thinking too much. It's a good opportunity for you to meet them."

Hearing this, Ji Weizhi reached out and gently touched Luo Yining's head, and responded with a smile: "Well, I'm really happy to meet your friends." When Ji Weizhi touched her, Luo Yining's cheeks turned slightly red, as beautiful as peach blossoms blooming in spring.

At this moment, a clear and pleasant doorbell suddenly rang, breaking the brief silence in the house. Fan Shengmei moved at the sound and walked quickly to the door. After looking out through the peephole, she knew who the person was. So, she reached out and opened the door without hesitation.

As the door opened, the first thing that came into view was Qiu Yingying's face filled with a happy smile. She walked into the room intimately holding the arm of a man wearing glasses and who looked quite ordinary.

"Come, let me introduce to everyone. This is my boyfriend - Xiaobai!" Qiu Yingying happily introduced the man next to everyone, her eyes full of sweetness and love.

Then, Qiu Yingying introduced the other people present to Xiaobai one by one: "This is Sister Fan, and also Guan Juer, Qu Xiaoxiao, Andy and Luo Yining..." At the end, Qiu Yingying suddenly paused because she found that there was a strange face that seemed to have not been introduced yet.

Just when Qiu Yingying was feeling a little embarrassed, Luo Yining took the initiative to stand up and said to Qiu Yingying with a smile: "Yingying, this is my boyfriend, Ji Weizhi."

Luo Yining and Ji Weizhi walked to the door together. As soon as she entered the door, Luo Yining noticed the man named Director Bai. Since he stepped into the room, his eyes have been darting around like a restless bird. He doesn't look like a simple and honest person at all.

At this time, Fan Shengmei smiled and said, "I heard Yingying say that you were going to show off your cooking skills. I'm sorry to bother you to cook for me for the first time."

Luo Yining said: "The crabs are already in the pot and are being steamed."

Fan Shengmei immediately added: "Then it all depends on you from now on."

Manager Bai assured, "Leave it to me! We happened to have bought quite a lot of vegetables today, so I'll get started right away."

Seeing this, Fan Shengmei nodded with satisfaction and praised: "Men who can cook are the best, they are all good men! Little earthworm, go and lend a hand."

Qiu Yingying responded readily, "Don't worry, Sister Fan, just wait to taste the delicious food." As she said that, she happily pulled Manager Bai and went straight to the kitchen.

Seeing this, Guan Juer, who was standing by, volunteered to go in and help, thinking that she had always had a good relationship with Qiu Yingying. However, just as she was about to take a step, Luo Yining stopped her and said, "Guan Guan, you'd better not go in and make trouble." After that, Luo Yining pulled Ji Weizhi to sit on the sofa leisurely.

"Yeah, you'd better not go in to help. I don't think this Manager Bai is a good person." Qu Xiaoxiao said. She had been watching Manager Bai since he came in. He had been looking at the things in the house and the few of them. Now she really hated this person. She wanted to find a way to test him.

Several people slowly walked towards the sofa and sat down one by one.

"Oh, what handsome guy? I think this is purely what you call 'beauty is in the eyes of the beholder'!" Fan Shengmei only glanced at the man and immediately judged that he was not a good guy, and was far from the image of the handsome guy described by Qiu Yingying. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart at the huge gap between reality and imagination.

"Hey, this is not a good thing. You eat other people's food and then talk about them." Andy frowned slightly, indicating that he did not agree with Fan Shengmei's statement.

"Hmph, I'm just telling the truth." Fan Shengmei snorted and responded righteously.

"Having said that, everyone has different aesthetic standards for appearance. Although Manager Bai does look quite ordinary, the key still depends on how Yingying herself sees him. Maybe in her eyes, this person has a unique charm, and only she knows this feeling best." Luo Yining expressed her opinion.

"Tsk, who can have such a unique and accurate vision as you? In my opinion, Qiu Yingying must have not wiped her eyes clean and found such a person in a daze." Qu Xiaoxiao curled her lips and sneered mercilessly.

"Actually, if you look closely, Manager Bai is quite good-looking. It's just that Yingying kept talking about him in front of us all day long and praising him to the skies, so we unconsciously imagined him as this super handsome guy in our minds. As a result, when we saw him in person today, it's inevitable that there was some psychological gap." Guan Juer spread her hands helplessly and explained.

"The gap is really huge!" Fan Shengmei said with a frown.

"That's right. Qiu Yingying sticks to him like a dog-skin plaster all day long. They are inseparable. But I have carefully observed his eyes. Humph, he never stayed on Qiu Yingying at all. Didn't you notice his eyes that were darting around everywhere? Even our Xiao Guan couldn't escape his thieving eyes. Nine times out of ten, he is just an extremely wretched man." Qu Xiaoxiao crossed her arms and analyzed with certainty.

"Is that really the case?" Andy tilted her head slightly, expressing some doubt. After all, she usually didn't pay much attention to these details.

"That's absolutely right. You can see a lot of distracting thoughts in his eyes. You can tell at a glance that he is not a person who can keep to himself." Luo Yining also nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, I think so too." Fan Shengmei agreed.

"No way? Maybe we misunderstood him..." Guan Juer still didn't quite believe everyone's judgment.

"Anyway, let's try not to mention this matter when we have dinner later to avoid embarrassment. Especially you, Qu Xiaoxiao, don't talk nonsense again." Fan Shengmei warned worriedly.

"I got it, just watch me!" Qu Xiaoxiao said confidently with a playful smile on her lips, as if she had already made up her mind.

"Are these all made by the chef?" Qu Xiaoxiao widened her eyes and asked in surprise. Her exaggerated expression made people laugh.

"Yes!" Qiu Yingying nodded excitedly, her face filled with pride.

"Wow, this crab looks so great, Ningning, you are so lucky!" Qu Xiaoxiao said as she looked at Luo Yining with a sly glint in her eyes.

"Xiao Qiu, you really have good taste! Chef Bai is not only handsome, but his cooking skills are also top-notch! I admire him so much! Xiao Guan, come here and help me take a photo with this chef with superb cooking skills!" Qu Xiaoxiao pulled Guan Juer's hand coquettishly and begged coquettishly.

"Okay, okay, stop making trouble and eat quickly. We're all hungry!" Fan Shengmei couldn't stand Qu Xiaoxiao making such a fuss and couldn't help but stand up to stop her.

"Don't worry about them, let's just watch the show!" Luo Yining looked calm, and she and Ji Weizhi were very quiet.

Afterwards, several people sat down. Ji Weizhi considerately picked up a crab, peeled off the hard shell skillfully, carefully separated the tender and plump crab meat bit by bit, placed it on a clean plate beside, and finally gently pushed it in front of Luo Yining.

During the whole process, the two did not exchange much words, but their eye contact revealed a tacit understanding and warmth that was difficult for others to detect.
