Quick Wear: Cousin, Come to the Bowl Quickly

Chapter 90 The CEO’s Cousin in a Workplace Story (3)

"You mean that the whole team of one or two hundred people worked hard overtime and stayed up all night to polish the plan, but it was defeated by a touching speech that sounded touching but actually had no value at all?"

Lin Xi didn't understand or respect it but was shocked. However, the system was calm and said, "This little world is quite old. This kind of plot was popular at that time."

Lin Xi scooped up some water to rinse off the foam on her face and calmed herself down. Only then did she finally accept this Mary Sue-like plot that was about to burst out of the screen and signaled the system to continue.

"The second male lead failed in his bid, and a series of misfortunes happened to his family. He was deeply shocked and could not recover. He was also diagnosed with stomach cancer due to his irregular eating habits for a long time, and finally died in a sanatorium abroad."

Lin Xi hissed, thinking about Ye Huai's sickly face that she saw today, and felt sympathetic. She almost grew up in the hospital, so naturally she had seen many people with terminal illnesses. Gastric cancer could be said to be the most torturous disease. Most of the people who got this cancer were starved to death in the end.

Compared to the white moonlight male second in many previous worlds, Ye Huai is more like a beautiful, strong and tragic black moonlight character. After realizing that the heroine has someone in her heart, he decisively let go and concentrated on his career. Unfortunately, he is not the protagonist. Although his ability is even slightly better than that of the male protagonist Lu Yanchen, he does not have the luck of the male and female protagonists, and ultimately he can only end up dying in a foreign land.

Lin Xi shook her head, thinking about her identity this time. She was the child brought up by Uncle Ye Huai's second remarried aunt. She had been studying abroad alone since she was a teenager. She was 22 years old this year and had just graduated from university. There was very little about her in the original plot. She was only mentioned twice, once when the second male lead recalled his childhood, and once at the funeral after his death. She cried particularly sadly among a group of hypocritical people.

She appeared in Ye Huai's house because the original owner's unreliable parents took their young son out for a trip, and the nanny at home had to go home to take care of her daughter-in-law because she was giving birth. Ye Huai was sent to the hospital due to emergency gastric bleeding a month ago and underwent a not-so-small operation. He was ordered by Mr. Ye, the original owner's grandfather and Ye Huai's grandfather, to stop all work and go home to recuperate for half a year.

Although they were not related by blood, Grandpa Ye still loved the original owner. He was afraid that she would not be able to adapt if she suddenly returned to China after living alone abroad for more than ten years, and he was also worried about her being alone at home. It happened that he had ordered his grandson to rest, and he was afraid that he would work secretly and not eat on time, so he waved his hand and let Lin Xi live directly in Ye Huai's house. The two could take care of each other, and Lin Xi could help him keep an eye on Ye Huai and be his informant. It was killing two birds with one stone. It couldn't be more perfect.

Lin Xi washed off the horrible makeup on her face, took a shower, and looked at herself in the mirror. She had big eyes, a small face, curled eyelashes, a delicate nose, and cherry lips. If it weren't for the dreadlocks that were too abrupt, she would have looked like a real-life BJD doll. If she appeared in front of Ye Huai like this, he would definitely not fail to recognize her.

Looking at the eye-catching dreadlocks on her head, Lin Xi wanted to remove them, but she had no idea where to start and her scalp was hurt. So she gave up, thinking that professional matters should be left to professionals, and prepared to go out in the afternoon to find a barber shop to help her remove them.

After Ye Huai washed up and dried his hair, he was ready to go to bed, but at this moment he heard a knock on the door. He opened the door, only to see Lin Xi standing outside in a pink Hello Kitty pajamas. Her face had been washed clean, without the exaggerated makeup, revealing the pretty face that a girl of her age should have.

Ye Huai was stunned when he saw Lin Xi's face, which was exactly the same as in the photo. But after seeing her flamboyant dreadlocks and dazzling pink pajama set, he came back to his senses in an instant and said in a light tone, "What's wrong?"

Lin Xi pinched her wet braids and said shyly, "Cousin, can I borrow your hair dryer? I don't think I have one in my room."

Ye Huai looked at the cautious expression on her face, hummed, turned back to the room to get his hair dryer and handed it to her, then said, "Use mine first, then look under the sink in the bathroom. Mrs. Liao should have bought it and hasn't opened it yet. I'll give it to you this afternoon."

Lin Xi took the hair dryer and thanked him. Just as she was about to turn around, she suddenly remembered something and asked, "Cousin, do you know of a barbershop nearby that can remove dreadlocks? I have to go back to see grandpa tomorrow, and I'm afraid I'm..."

Ye Huai didn't know either. He usually had someone come to his house to cut his hair. He didn't even know how many barbershops there were nearby, let alone those that took out dreadlocks. "I'm not sure. I'll go with you to look around this afternoon."

"Thank you, cousin. You've worked hard." Lin Xi showed a grateful look and thanked him sincerely, then walked down the stairs and returned to her room.

Ye Huai watched the pink figure disappear before he closed the door and went back to sleep.

The sun was setting in the west. Perhaps it was because she had been on a flight for more than ten hours, or because she had eaten too much at noon, Lin Xi slept until the evening. She was awakened by a knock on the door. She took out her cell phone and saw that it was almost 8 o'clock.

Lin Xi quickly got up from the bed and shouted to the door again, "Cousin, I'm awake." Only then did the knocking on the door stop.

Lin Xi rummaged through her big bag and found that the clothes inside were all different shades of pink, and all printed with Hello Kitty of different sizes. She couldn't help but shook her head, turned around and opened the big wardrobe beside the bed. Various women's summer clothes came into view, including skirts and pants, mostly in light colors. She picked out a light blue T-shirt from it, and matched it with a pair of white shorts. She planned to wear her own white sandals as shoes.

After leaving the room and going down the stairs, Ye Huai was already sitting in the living room. He was still wearing the same simple white shirt and black pants, but his shirt was replaced with a loose T-shirt and his pants were more casual in style.

Seeing Lin Xi coming down, he raised his eyes and said, "I wanted to let you continue to sleep, but if it's any later, the barber shop will probably be closed."

Lin Xi waved her hands hurriedly, "It's okay, it's okay. I've rested well. If I go back to sleep, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night. Thank you, cousin, for waking me up."

When Lin Xi was fast asleep, Ye Huai asked his barber and learned that he could remove the dreadlocks, but he was styling other people's hair and couldn't come to her house. They had to drive to his studio themselves.

Fortunately, his studio was not far away, so after they packed up, they went out together.
