I snagged a bargain in a melodramatic novel and became incredibly wealthy!

I didn't watch Caiyi for long before leaving; there was no money to be made from this part of the story.

Her gaze fell on the bright red apple in Xu Qingming's hand, and she asked, "Aren't you going to eat it? Then I'll eat it for you."

After saying that, she took the apple from his hand and put a pear in it instead: "The pear is very sweet, plump and juicy."

Xu Qingming felt a little uncomfortable under her gaze. He picked up a pear and took a bite. The sweet pear juice burst in his mouth, it was too sweet.

He ate silently, his expression unreadable.

When Wei Yan arrived, she saw two people eating fruit in someone else's hospital room.

"Ming-ge, here's what you wanted." Wei Yan handed Xu Qingming a file folder.

Xu Qingming took it, and the three of them returned to the ward.

Xu Qingming threw the pear core into the trash can, handed the document to Cai Yi, and said, "Take a look first, I'm going to wash my hands."

After saying that, she went to the washroom. The pear juice was plentiful, and some inevitably got on her hands.

He washed the stickiness off his hands, dried them, and left the washroom. Sitting on the hospital bed, his gentle eyes fixed on Caiyi: "Any questions, Caiyi?"

"No." Cai Yi signed his name on each contract with a black pen.

Now, she truly has a secure job.

"Are you sure you don't want to hand over the extra money?" Cai Yi grinned, revealing his large teeth, and said meaningfully, "The extra money isn't a small amount, you know."

"No need," Xu Qingming replied without hesitation.

With the country as our backing, lacking funds is simply a pipe dream.

Caiyi couldn't suppress his inner joy and chuckled.

"You're laughing like an idiot," Wei Yan said with a disdainful look.

This colleague looks like a money-grubber and a glutton.

"Tsk, you really can't stand it? Can't you laugh?"

"That makes sense, your face looks like a zombie."

Caiyi was annoyed by him; after all, no one would have a good impression of someone who dislocated her arm right from the start.

Wei Yan sneered, her words as venomous as hers: "Yes, she's just not naturally inclined to smile."

It's better than someone being reincarnated as a starving ghost.

Xu Qingming sighed, these two don't get along, they probably won't be able to be assigned to the same mission, it feels like something bad is likely to happen.

But those who are on the same team will always go on missions together.

"Wei Yan, Cai Yi," Xu Qingming said in a gentle voice, yet with a hint of pressure. "Shake hands and introduce yourselves."

Wei Yan: "..."

Caiyi: "..."

Cai Yi broke the deadlock first; she's not a masochist, but the oppressive feeling was simply unbearable.

She smiled, her eyes crinkling, and extended her hand. A sweet clip-on sound rang out: "Hello, I'm your new colleague, Cai-yi~"

Brother, why aren't you holding my hand? Is it because—

Wei Yan's hair stood on end, goosebumps rose all over her body, and she just wanted to interrupt her private speech as soon as possible: "Qi Chu Qin Yan Zhao Wei Han—Wei Yan!"

Xu Qingming chuckled. Actually, her voice was quite pleasant, with a sweet and melodious tone. It was just that Wei Yan might have been prejudiced.

Looking at people with prejudiced eyes often prevents us from seeing their true nature.

Cai Yi ignored him. She shook the file bag, but there was no ID card. She looked at Wei Yan suspiciously and asked, "Where is my ID card?"

"I didn't hide it for you." Wei Yan was annoyed by her blunt gaze and said irritably, "You can't get out without a photo on your ID card."

"Oh, I'm sorry." Caiyi's apology was very perfunctory.

She took out her brand new phone and downloaded a "Meixiu" app, which can do simple beautification and photo editing, and even basic video editing.

She leaned against the pristine white wall, took a selfie with her phone, and smiled, revealing her perfect eight teeth.

With a "click," the girl's face was captured on the phone.

Caiyi used the newly downloaded 'Meixiu' app to correct the parts of her photos that she had messed up, tapping her fingertips on the phone.

The girl in the photo has jet-black hair tied up in a Nezha bun, fair skin with a rosy glow, plump cheeks, bright eyes, and a sweet and charming smile revealing eight white teeth.

"Did you get plastic surgery?" Wei Yan approached Cai Yi at some point and stared at the photos on her phone.

"Mind your own business!" Cai Yi rolled her eyes at him and asked Xu Qingming for his WeChat.

The phone comes with a SIM card number; I don't know whose it is, and it doesn't matter, as long as it works.

Xu Qingming had just received a picture from a friend, whose profile picture was made of a gold ingot and whose ID was "the daughter of the God of Wealth."

He zoomed in on the photo, remained silent for a long time, then looked up at Cai Yi and silently sent it to Wei Yan.

Hmm... I've gained weight, so I should look just like in the photo.

Wei Yan was so surprised and amused that she didn't expect Xu Qingming to actually allow her to use the photo.

Okay, use it!

Anyway, it's not like he won't know his new colleagues.

Xu Qingming reached out, grabbed the fruit basket, placed it on the other bedside table, and casually took the peach she had just picked up from her hand.

His gaze fell on her noticeably small belly, which was particularly prominent due to her thin frame: "Aren't you feeling unwell?"

Caiyi looked down, her round little belly coming into view. She touched it and laughed, "Being full isn't uncomfortable, being hungry is even more uncomfortable."

...Those few days terrified her of hunger.

Xu Qingming: "...You won't go hungry, meals will be provided."

Caiyi nodded and reached out her hand to him: "I know, it's written in the contract."

"So, don't eat it." Xu Qingming picked up a peach and took a bite in front of Cai Yi. "There will be another meal."

do not be afraid.

Caiyi didn't speak, but simply withdrew his outstretched hand.

"If you're hungry, just tell me, and I'll take you to eat," Xu Qingming said, stroking her dry, yellow hair.

The sound was very soft, yet it felt like a feather brushing against my heart, leaving a tingling, itchy sensation.

"Xu Qingming, pinky promise." Cai Yi rubbed his nose awkwardly, stretched out a hand, and bent his little finger.

Xu Qingming was amused by her childish behavior, so he hooked his little finger on hers and shook it: "One hundred years, no changes allowed."

Wei Yan's eyes were filled with disbelief. Xu Qingming was a smiling tiger, the kind who could hide a knife in a smile and a needle in a velvet.

Now, however, he is doing the same childish things as this White Bone Demon girl.

After making the pinky promise, Caiyi whispered a few words in his ear, then smiled and returned to her original spot.

Xu Qingming touched his slightly reddened earlobe; the warmth from earlier seemed to still linger there.

"How is it, Xu Qingming?" Cai Yi asked again when he didn't answer for a long time.

Xu Qingming looked at Wei Yan with pity and nodded: "Do as you say."

Cai Yi stared at Wei Yan and chuckled.

Wei Yan felt a little uneasy looking at their expressions.

"Ming-ge, what did she say to you?" Wei Yan couldn't help but take a few steps back, distancing herself from Cai Yi, and asked Xu Qingming.

Xu Qingming smiled without saying a word, which made Wei Yan even more flustered.

What exactly did she say to Ming-ge? Why can't she tell him?

Cai Yi patted Wei Yan on the shoulder and said with a grin, "You'll find out tomorrow, Wei Yan."

Wei Yan: "..."

He wants to know right now!
