Chapter 24: A Little Surprise

"It's late, it's late, please excuse me. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Zhao Xiaocui muttered in her mouth while running desperately towards the exit of the station, and the crowded pedestrians in front of her couldn't help but give way to both sides when they heard the sound of high-frequency high-heeled shoes "da-da", Zhao Xiaocui blushed and finally got out of the subway entrance, and stood at the subway entrance with her bag and kicked desperately several times before continuing to run. "Come on, it's here after the traffic light." Cheering herself on as she ran, she was truly relieved when one foot stepped into the building.

Because it was past the work point, Zhao Xiaocui tiptoed into the office for fear of affecting others, she gently and slowly pulled out her chair and sat down heavily, her face on the table "snort" and panting, only then did she notice that the position of King Jenny next to her was empty, "Hey, didn't she come either?" Zhao Xiaocui sat up and took out the computer and mobile phone from her bag, when the computer was turned on, the phone rang, it was a call from Jenny Wang, she picked up the phone and walked towards the pantry with a water cup, "Hey, why are you late today?" Zhao Xiaocui asked with concern.

"Uh... I'm not late, I'm almost dying~~~" said weakly on the other end of the phone.

"Ahh What's wrong? Zhao Xiaocui was even more anxious.

"I boiled porridge last night and forgot to turn off the fire when I fell asleep, and the natural gas leak was all over the house, if it wasn't for my cat scratching my face, I guess it would be really dangerous today." Jenny Wang said weakly.

"Hey, it's dangerous, what's going on now? Would you like me to come and take a look? Zhao Xiaocui asked with concern.

"No, the windows have already been opened, and the gas is almost gone, but the cat and I are weak and need to rest, please tell Candy." Jenny said.

"Okay, you have a good rest, don't worry about things here." Zhao Xiaocui hung up the phone after speaking, picked up the water and tidied up a little, and walked straight towards Candy.

Candy was answering the phone, Zhao Xiaocui stood at her desk and waited for a while, and when Candy hung up the phone, Zhao Xiaocui told her about Jenny Wang. "Oh, I see, King Jenny called me just now to explain the situation." Candy said lightly.

"Well, if you know, I'll go back to work first." After Zhao Xiaocui finished speaking, she walked towards her workstation, but she suddenly felt as if she had been poked by something in her heart, and felt a little cramped. Returning to her seat, looking at the vacant position next to her, Zhao Xiaocui was worried about Jenny Wang's situation, and told her to tell Candy, but she called herself, feeling a sense of distrust, they are the best colleagues in this office, in Zhao Xiaocui's heart, Jenny Wang is her real friend and even best friend, but this incident made Zhao Xiaocui a little puzzled, she didn't know whether Jenny Wang didn't trust her, and she was usually perfunctory to her or that she had her own considerations. "Forget it, work first anyway, and try to get off work early to see her." Zhao Xiaocui said with a little self-comfort.

This day is quite peaceful, only routine work is handled, so Zhao Xiaocui packed up her things 10 minutes in advance and prepared to get off work, she planned to go to Jenny Wang's side first to see if there was anything to help, the place where they lived was not far away, from Zhao Xiaocui's house to Jenny Wang's house, it was only 4 stops by car, Zhao Xiaocui went home to put her things first, and then went to the supermarket to buy some fruits and vegetables and walked towards Jenny Wang's house with a bag of things. "She lives in a good community, and it looks a lot better than ours." Zhao Xiaocui's first feeling when she walked into the community where Jenny Wang lived was like this, and it was also because of this that she felt that she didn't know much about Jenny Wang, and it was the first time she came to her house after working together for almost 2 years. She quickly arrived at her door according to the address in Jenny Wang's text message, Jenny Wang opened the door to welcome her in, Zhao Xiaocui found through the foyer that this was a large studio, the space was not large but the layout was reasonable and compact, and it was still very comfortable to live alone. "You're in a nice place." Zhao Xiaocui said.

"It's okay." Jenny Wang answered, "Come in." ā€

Zhao Xiaocui changed her shoes and walked into the house: "How are you feeling?" ā€

"It's much better, do you think there is still a smell of gas at home?" Jenny asked.

Zhao Xiaocui took two breaths of air in the room and replied, "I didn't smell it." ā€

"Well, that's good, I opened the window for the day today." Jenny Wang replied.

"You were too careless, you actually fell asleep while boiling porridge, fortunately nothing major happened, and I was scared to death when you called me." Zhao Xiaocui said worriedly.

"yes, I'm scared too, if it weren't for my cat scratching my face this morning, I guess something would have happened." King Jenny replied as well.

Suddenly, there was the sound of flushing water in the bathroom. Zhao Xiaocui looked at Jenny Wang with a little surprise and asked, "Is there anyone else at home?" ā€

"Well, my boyfriend took a leave of absence from school today to take care of me." Jenny Wang was a little embarrassed to say.

"Huh? What the? Do you have a boyfriend? Zhao Xiaocui asked in surprise, the news shocked her no less than the news of a gas leak.

"Well, why are you so surprised, we've only been talking for 3 months, so I haven't told anyone." King Jenny replied calmly.

"Oh, he's ......" Zhao Xiaocui was about to ask, the bathroom door opened, and a tall boy came out, not very handsome but very burly.

"Tian Lei, this is my colleague Zhao Xiaocui; This is my boyfriend Tian Lei. Jenny Wang introduced the two of them to each other.

"Well, hello." The boy greeted Zhao Xiaocui very politely, "Hello" Zhao Xiaocui was a little embarrassed, she didn't expect to meet Jenny Wang's boyfriend, and she felt embarrassed.

"Come and meet the hero who saved me this time, my baby-Xiaobai." King Jenny grabbed a ball of white fluff from near the head of the bed, held it in her arms, and swung its head outward, "Meow...", a reluctant cry emanated from her arms.

"That's a good name, if you hadn't introduced me, I wouldn't have noticed a cat lying there." Zhao Xiaocui sighed.

"Yes, my little white is lazy and always likes to hide." Jenny Wang kissed Xiaobai dotingly as she spoke.

Zhao Xiaocui also stepped forward and touched it. "Let's go eat." Jenny Wang suggested.

"I went grocery shopping, thinking that you were not feeling well today, and I would give you some list of recuperation." Zhao Xiaocui said.

"It's going to feel like nothing anymore. Let's go out to eat, and I want to go out for a walk and breathe some fresh air after a day at home. I'll put the food you bought in the fridge and let's make it together this weekend. Jenny Wang suggested.

"Well, listen to you, who made you so scary today." Zhao Xiaocui echoed.

The three of them packed up and walked out together, for Zhao Xiaocui, today is not just a little accident, but multiple accidents appear together, and she still has a lot of questions to ask Jenny Wang.
