6 Water Damaged the Laptop

"Chu Xiao Xi, don't hit my head all the time just because you are half a head taller than me. I am going to turn stupid! Plus, did you forget, I am a married woman now…" Gu Xiao Xiao's voice dialed down lower and lower.

When the whole situation with the marriage was brought up, Chu Xiao Xi also felt a headache. She helplessly looked at the flustered Gu Xiao Xiao and hesitated, "Gu Xiao Xiao, does your grandma know about this?"

Gu Xiao Xiao was an orphan. She was brought home from the orphanage by her grandma so her grandma was her only relative.

"I wouldn't dare tell her something so ridiculous." Gu Xiao Xiao lowered her head and touched her nose. "There will be a path once the car reaches the mountain. Let's do this one step at a time…"

In her mind, Chu Yi Chen's face appeared in her mind. Gu Xiao Xiao's heart was suspending in midair. She didn't even have his contact info. What if he is a marriage scammer? If he actually is one, what is she going to do…

Gu Xiao Xiao silently stood there. She didn't say anything more nor did she move. Chu Xiao Xi watched over her, her heart pinched.

"Alright, alright, no matter what, you have me." Taking one step forward, Chu Xiao Xi patted Gu Xiao Xiao's shoulder and consoled her, "Don't worry, everything will turn out for the better."

She took Gu Xiao Xiao out to dinner. At the dinner table, Chu Xiao Xi thought about it and brought up work.

"Gu Xiao Xiao, after some time, I plan on going to intern at Feng Yang as well."

"Really?!" Gu Xiao Xiao widened her eyes and looked over at Chu Xiao Xi sitting opposite her, "That's great! Xiao Xi, let's work hard together and stay in Feng Yang. We will get wealthy and then we won't be too far away from reaching middle to upper class!"

Gu Xiao Xiao's mouth was stuffed with food and she was talking without much clarity. Her serious expression made Chu Xiao Xi chuckle.

"However, I heard that next month, a new director is taking over." Remembering the mysterious boss, Gu Xiao Xiao was a little curious.

"New director?" Chu Xiao Xi was a little stunned, "You haven't met him yet?"

"Not yet. He is a director, how can we just meet him whenever we want? Ever since he took over the company, he hasn't shown his face in public. I heard that he has resided internationally the previous few years and only this year did he decide to establish his career back here."

"What, are you interested?" Chu Xiao Xi asked with a sly smile.

"I am not the only one who is interested. Who wouldn't want to meet such a powerful figure?"

"I don't," Chu Xiao Xi answered without hesitation. "There are only two possibilities for why he hasn't shown his face."

"Which two?"

"One, he is ugly. Two, because he is ugly." Chu Xiao Xi laughed at her own answer. "But there are exceptions to everything. Maybe he is far too handsome so he doesn't want to show face?"

The two finished their meal while chatting happily. After returning to their dorm, Jin Jing was still there, which instantly made the atmosphere awkward.

They all ignored Jin Jing. Gu Xiao Xiao and Chu Xiao Xi all occupied themselves with their own businesses and went to sleep.

For a few days, nothing happened. Other than Jin Jing's occasional phone calls with Mu Yun Fan and their public display of affection, everything else was fine.

Gu Xiao Xiao felt extremely uncomfortable but she did her best to pretend everything was fine. She allowed Jin Jing to do whatever she wanted before her.

She didn't understand how after doing such a disgusting thing, Jin Jing could still appear before her in such a manner – as if nothing had happened.

After returning to the dorm after work, Gu Xiao Xiao sat before her desk and turned on her computer as per usual.

"Hmm? What happened?" Gu Xiao Xiao questioned after pressing the buttons multiple times and seeing no response.

"What is it?" Chu Xiao Xi came over to ask.

"I can' turn on my computer." Gu Xiao Xiao frowned. She had only bought this laptop less than a year ago. It wasn't time for it to retire.

After playing around with it for some time, the computer still refused to turn on. Gu Xiao Xiao was now sweating from her forehead.

"Don't worry Gu Xiao Xiao, I will call my friend who's a computer science major and ask what is wrong."

Gu Xiao Xiao tearlessly looked at her computer. There was far too much information in there. If this computer really dies just like this, she would really bang her head against the wall.

But why would her computer break down when it was fine before?

Looking at how sad Gu Xiao Xiao was, Chu Xiao Xi didn't say anything more. She merely returned back to her desk, turned on her computer, and after searching through some stuff, she quickly shut it down.

The "professional repairman" arrived very quickly. Before Gu Xiao Xiao and Chu Xiao Xi's watchful eyes, he quickly inspected Gu Xiao Xiao's now broken computer.

Liu Gang took out his tools and the back shell of the computer was opened promptly.

"What the… just how much water did you pour into your laptop?" Liu Gang pinpointed the problem right away. "Miss, so you thought the temperature inside the dorm room was too warm and decided to give it a shower?"

"Water?!" Gu Xiao Xiao's face was red from frustration. "Can you fix it? There shouldn't be water in my computer. See, I even got a protective cover for my keyboard. How can water get in?"

"Look at it, the water stains haven't even dried." Liu Gang pushed the laptop before Gu Xiao Xiao and Chu Xiao Xi, "Look, the water has entered the motherboard and the keyboard area. This computer was turned on after water entered it. It would be a little difficult to fix."

"Thanks, I'll treat you to dinner some time," Chu Xiao Xi said.

"You don't want me to take it and get it repaired?" Liu Gang was a little surprised.

"We don't even know who poured water into it. How can we let you take away the evidence so fast," Chu Xiao Xi said coldly, making Liu Gang shudder.

After Liu Gang left, the room was deadly silent. Gu Xiao Xiao sat there in a daze, staring at the corpse of her laptop. Her red lips uncontrollably quivered.

Chu Xiao Xi's hands were crossed before her chest. She leaned against the cabinet and stared straight at their door until the person she was looking for entered her view.
