Chapter 1465: Plain and Simple Happiness

"So... in order to support scientific research, may I ask Mr. Qin for a favor?"

Xu Xiaoxiao finally revealed her little scheme.

And these words of hers almost made Liu Xin'ai laugh out loud.

She had felt that this woman was acting strange today.

So, it was because she needed a favor.

Hey, if there's something, just say it directly; why beat around the bush?

In any case, if everyone can help, they certainly will.

Liu Xin'ai pursed her lips, her expression still holding a faint trace of helplessness.

Qin Yiyan, on the other hand, was very straightforward and said, "As long as it's not difficult to complete, I can help."

"It's not difficult, not difficult at all! I just need your company's employees to spare two minutes to complete a questionnaire!"

"No problem, just send the questionnaire to me."

"I simplified it a bit and made a mini-program. You can have the company employees log in and fill it out directly on there."

As she spoke, Xu Xiaoxiao pushed a mini-program to Qin Yiyan.

The moment the push was successful, Xu Xiaoxiao felt her whole person relax quite a bit!

Hey, it really is true; once you find the right direction, even the most troublesome problem can be solved in minutes!

This secretly happy look of Xu Xiaoxiao's was all seen by Liu Xin'ai.

She curled her lips and asked, "Aren't you researching a project? Why are you in charge of a questionnaire survey?"

"Hey, the school is opening a course on love psychology, discussing love values and such, but because there is relatively little reference data on hand, the task of the survey was divided among the teachers."

"Then you all are really working hard."

"There are some who aren't working hard; some teachers just find students to fill them out. Hey, it's a pity I didn't manage to grab that opportunity and had to find my own way."

Talking about this, Xu Xiaoxiao felt both emotional and fortunate.

And as for what comes next...

Xu Xiaoxiao said, "I'll go to the Li Family tomorrow to ask again; maybe I'll be able to gather enough people."

"How many people in total do you need to fill out the questionnaire?"

"One thousand."

Upon hearing this number, Qin Yiyan said in a calm tone, "Then you don't need to go to the Li Family; the people at our company are enough."

This...

This really is an unexpected joy!

Xu Xiaoxiao immediately gave a thumbs up and praised Qin Yiyan, "As expected of a big company, impressive!"

Her reaction amused Liu Xin'ai.

Gently shaking her head, Liu Xin'ai said, "Alright, stop the flattery, stay for dinner."

Chi Rong also said, "That's right, I made red date and longan chicken soup today, it's very delicious, and there's also tomato shrimp, braised pork ribs, soft-fried pork tenderloin..."

"Auntie, please don't say any more, I'm about to drool!"

What Xu Xiaoxiao said was no lie; she was already swallowing her saliva!

Seeing this, Chi Rong invited everyone to the dining room.

At this meal, Xu Xiaoxiao ate very full.

And very satisfied.

Moreover, at the dining table, Xu Xiaoxiao observed the interaction between Liu Xin'ai and Qin Yiyan.

Hmm, how should I put it...

These two people seem to have suddenly jumped into the mode of an old married couple.

They are familiar with each other's preferences.

And they can look after one another.

It's plain and simple, yet it feels very comfortable.

It's just that...

Since when did they have such tacit understanding?

Just now, Liu Xin'ai only lightly nodded, and Qin Yiyan knew she needed a tissue!

When Qin Yiyan stopped eating, Liu Xin'ai also knew he needed a glass of water!

This... could this be telepathy!?

Xu Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and revealed a meaningful expression.

After the meal, it was time for Xu Xiaoxiao to go home.

Liu Xin'ai walked her to the door and chatted for a bit.

And Xu Xiaoxiao took the opportunity to ask Liu Xin'ai why she and Qin Yiyan had suddenly become so in sync.

Liu Xin'ai's response was very plain: "After all, we lived together before; even if you don't want to remember, the little details of life will still unconsciously drill into your brain."

"Those little details—can you even go without speaking and just let the other person know what you're thinking through your actions?"

"For some small things, it's possible."

Xu Xiaoxiao rested her chin on her hand and muttered, "You two can be used as a special case study to research properly."

"What special case study? This is something all married couples have; when you get married, you'll know."

Marriage...

That is truly a distant thing.

After all, Xu Xiaoxiao doesn't even have a man.

Yet, she still had to miserably work on some love survey questionnaire.

How truly miserable!

Xu Xiaoxiao was wallowing in self-pity, but when she looked up, she found Liu Xin'ai staring at her with a smile.

That smile again!

Whenever Liu Xin'ai looked at Xu Xiaoxiao like that, Xu Xiaoxiao would easily feel guilty.

She didn't even know why!

In order to stop Liu Xin'ai from continuing to stare at her with that smile, Xu Xiaoxiao decided to say something else: "The way you and Qin Yiyan get along is very unique."

"How is it unique?"

"Shouldn't a couple who just reconciled be all lovey-dovey? But looking at you two, you've directly turned into an old married couple; isn't it too plain?"

"Is being plain not good?"

"It's fine, but you also need passion."

Passion...

Liu Xin'ai didn't know what she thought of, but an awkward expression flashed across her face.

Then she lowered her eyes and muttered: "He... is very passionate, it's just that in front of outsiders, he won't show it."

Liu Xin'ai's muttering was not very loud.

But Xu Xiaoxiao caught it!

She even raised her eyebrows and said with a grin: "Woman, if you say it like that, I can imagine a lot of things!"

Hmm, her imagination was correct, because some scenes could only be imagined, not described.

Because of those indescribable scenes, the person feeling uncomfortable now was Liu Xin'ai.

She raised her hand and poked Xu Xiaoxiao's forehead, saying with a hint of helplessness: "You, you should imagine less, lest you overthink and go bald."

Go bald!?

Xu Xiaoxiao stopped joking, she scratched the top of her head with her fingers and said: "Do you know how sensitive researchers are to the words 'go bald'?"

"I know, in the Laboratory, these two words have almost become a taboo."

Hearing Liu Xin'ai say this, Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered that the person in front of her also spent time in the Laboratory.

But...

Xu Xiaoxiao stared at Liu Xin'ai's hair for a while and muttered in confusion: "Your hair is actually very thick."

"Because I practice health care,"

"What kind of health care technique is so powerful? Teach me too!"

Xu Xiaoxiao was genuinely wanting to learn.

She looked at her colleagues' increasingly receding hairlines and couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

She didn't want the same tragedy to happen to her.

Liu Xin'ai didn't hold back either, and she said very generously: "Didn't I teach myself Acupuncture before? I just stick a couple of needles in my head when I'm free to promote blood circulation."

Stick, stick needles!?

In this instant, Xu Xiaoxiao didn't want to learn anymore, she waved her little hand and said: "Forget it, it's getting late, I'm going back!"

"Don't be afraid of the trouble, I can help you stick them."

"No need! I'd rather go bald!"

Xu Xiaoxiao refused very decisively.

And she left gracefully.

Liu Xin'ai looked at her back and shook her head with a smile.

She thought that if this woman was really worried about going bald, she would definitely come crying and begging her to stick them!
