Chapter 1468: A Hard-Won Mundane Life

This is an elderly teacher, with deep qualifications and experience.

Chatting with him would surely lead to a bountiful harvest in terms of gardening.

In this way, there would also be plenty of common topics for communicating with Jiang Chenghao in the future.

Thinking of this, a faint smile appeared on Xu Xiaoxiao's lips involuntarily.

"Xiao Xiao?"

Hearing someone call her name, Xu Xiaoxiao looked up.

She saw a pregnant colleague place a stack of questionnaires beside her, then smile and say, "These, I'll leave to you."

"Don't mention it."

"It seems like it might rain this weekend; why don't I have my husband go to the park to distribute the questionnaires too?"

Go to the park?

Xu Xiaoxiao thought for a moment before she understood what her colleague meant.

She immediately explained, "It doesn't have to be that much trouble; I made a mini-program so the questionnaire can be done via mobile phone."

The colleague blinked and asked, "So, we don't have to grab people on the spot to fill them out?"

"No need."

"I didn't expect it could be done this way, Xiao Xiao, you are truly too smart!"

As for being clever, Xu Xiaoxiao did have a bit of that.

But she only simplified the voting process; the actual data required could not be short by even one entry.

As for this data...

Xu Xiaoxiao thought of Jiang Baobao.

After work the next day—

Xu Xiaoxiao sought out Jiang Baobao to ask if she could conduct a questionnaire survey within Li Beijue's company.

This was a tactic, the same as when she sought out Liu Xin'ai last time.

But what was different was that Jiang Baobao was very interested in the content of this questionnaire.

She even called over Cai Xiaotang to study it together.

After looking at it for a while, Jiang Baobao asked, "Can we fill this out too?"

"Of course."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang poked away with their fingers, starting to fill in the options.

And they filled them out very seriously.

Xu Xiaoxiao sat across from the two of them, eating fruit.

I have to say, this fruit is so sweet, much sweeter than what Xu Xiaoxiao buys outside.

After eating for a while, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but ask, "Where was this bought? It's so sweet and fresh; next time I want to go there and buy some too!"

Jiang Baobao looked up and replied, "This was grown in our own orchard, a new variety; you can't buy it outside."

"So that's how it is, no wonder it's so delicious."

But it's a pity that she won't be able to eat it in the future.

Just as Xu Xiaoxiao was feeling regretful, Jiang Baobao said quite readily, "I'll have you take some back in a bit."

"Ah, that wouldn't be good."

"It's nothing; there's been a big harvest at the orchard recently, and I was planning to share some with friends anyway. I've already packed those fruits up."

Seeing that Jiang Baobao genuinely wanted to share with everyone, Xu Xiaoxiao lost her psychological burden.

She even said, "Next time the orchard needs help, you can call me!"

After hearing this, Cai Xiaotang joked, "There are fruit farmers in the orchard; you, just help by eating."

"I am very skilled at that, I guarantee I won't let anyone down!"

Xu Xiaoxiao's words made Jiang Baobao and Cai Xiaotang laugh.

And after the laughter died down, Xu Xiaoxiao thought of Jiang Chenghao.

Jiang Chenghao said he liked planting things.

She didn't know what type of things he actually liked to plant.

Just as Xu Xiaoxiao was lost in thought, Cai Xiaotang asked her curiously, "Aren't you going to fill one out?"

Xu Xiaoxiao came back to her senses and replied, "I'm not in a relationship."

"But it doesn't say on here that you must be in a relationship to fill it out."

Hmm...

Xu Xiaoxiao took it over to look and discovered there really wasn't any such note.

This led her to conclude, "Maybe there's a loophole in the description when it was written."

"I actually think it was designed that way."

Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao looked up at Jiang Baobao and asked, "What do you mean?"

"For people in a relationship, filling this out is a status survey, while for those not in a relationship, it's an intention survey; the two don't contradict each other."

Hmm... that sounds quite reasonable.

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded gently, and then... she also started to fill it out.

Regarding the questions in the questionnaire, Xu Xiaoxiao was already very familiar with them.

But that was limited to familiarity; there was no deep thought.

So Xu Xiaoxiao didn't answer quickly at all; sometimes, she would even stop and hesitate for a while.

And with such hesitation...

She discovered two heads next to her staring at her phone!

This gave Xu Xiaoxiao a start!

She hurriedly flipped her phone over and asked, "You, why are you peeking!"

Jiang Baobao said, "We aren't peeking."

Cai Xiaotang added from the side, "We are looking openly and honestly."

The two of them sang in harmony, leaving Xu Xiaoxiao looking helpless.

Seeing that Xu Xiaoxiao looked very awkward, Jiang Baobao said quite generously, "It is impolite not to reciprocate, so you can also come and see how we are filling it out."

As she spoke, Jiang Baobao even handed her phone over.

Xu Xiaoxiao was not interested in how others were filling it out.

She just felt that the questions set in this questionnaire were very detailed, and letting others see her choices was equivalent to letting them understand her true inner thoughts.

It was just... embarrassing!

Cai Xiaotang saw her embarrassment, immediately pursed her lips, and asked with a smile, "What kind of little secret are you hiding that can't see the light of day?"

Before Xu Xiaoxiao could respond, Jiang Baobao said first, "The questions in here are all very normal, there's nothing that can't see the light of day; don't be so sensitive."

Jiang Baobao said these words for Cai Xiaotang to hear.

But Xu Xiaoxiao felt... that she was talking about Xu Xiaoxiao herself!

Sigh, she didn't know if it was because work had been too busy lately, but Xu Xiaoxiao always tended to overthink things.

This was not good at all.

Xu Xiaoxiao sighed softly, then shook her head, attempting to shake off those strange thoughts.

Jiang Baobao saw that Xu Xiaoxiao was hiding something on her mind, so she didn't continue to tease her.

Instead, she changed the subject: "Send a copy of this questionnaire to Liu Xin'ai as well; when you have nothing to do, fill it out for fun, and you can also contribute to your database."

"Liu Xin'ai has already seen this questionnaire."

"What do you mean? You went to look for her?"

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded slightly and replied, "I didn't just look for her; I also asked Qin Yiyan to help me promote the mini-program in the company."

Hearing Xu Xiaoxiao mention Liu Xin'ai and Qin Yiyan, Jiang Baobao took the opportunity to ask, "How are the two of them getting along?"

"Hmm... they have great chemistry and are very much like an old married couple."

To some people, an old married couple represents boredom.

But for Liu Xin'ai, who has gone through many twists and turns, this plainness is truly hard-won.

Thinking of all the things in the past, Jiang Baobao couldn't help but sigh, "Liu Xin'ai's path of love has been so bumpy; I hope Qin Yiyan can cherish Liu Xin'ai and give her happiness."

Xu Xiaoxiao nodded, feeling the same sentiment in her heart.

But as soon as she thought of a certain person... her mood sank again.

For the winners, love is warm and happy.

But what about the losers in love?

Not only have they lost the qualification to compete, they are also ignored by others, and in the end, they can only lick their wounds alone.

It really is a capital... tragedy!
