Chapter 1537: Li Dai Tao Jiang (Substituting a Plum Tree for a Peach Tree)

~7 min read 1,385 words

Xu Xiaoxiao did not agree with this.

She patted the back of Cai Xiaotang's hand and praised her first: "It's great that you have the awareness to find someone to talk to when you feel your emotions aren't right. Also, when you have negative emotions, you must vent them in a timely manner; this can prevent prenatal depression."

Cai Xiaotang listened carefully and then nodded gently.

Immediately after, she asked curiously: "We all come to you to vent, but what do you do when you have a problem?"

"I find another doctor."

This answer was unexpected for Cai Xiaotang.

She was stunned for a moment, then started to laugh, feeling that it made perfect sense.

After laughing, she saw Xu Xiaoxiao stand up and say: "However, you can experience this Holographic Projection; the effect is really amazing!"

Cai Xiaotang had been looking forward to it anyway.

Now, after hearing these words, she was even more impatient!

After a simple calibration, Xu Xiaoxiao turned on the device.

The theme she chose was Forest Cabin.

The moment the device was turned on, the room was filled with lush greenery, and one could even hear birds chirping and the sound of the wind in their ears.

This effect was simply invincible!

Cai Xiaotang even felt as if she had stepped onto a Time Machine and was truly in the middle of a secluded forest!

After admiring it for a while, Cai Xiaotang couldn't help but exclaim: "I really want to own one just like this to enjoy at home!"

Cai Xiaotang was just murmuring thoughtlessly.

But Xu Xiaoxiao took it seriously.

After thinking for a moment, she said: "This device doesn't have high requirements for the environment; you really could buy one."

Cai Xiaotang had originally thought her own idea was just a fantasy.

She didn't expect to get affirmation from Xu Xiaoxiao!

Her eyes lit up instantly, and she hurriedly asked: "Where can I buy it? Are there any specialty stores or experience centers?"

"This was newly developed, so there aren't any of those things you mentioned, but I have the developer's phone number, so you can ask him."

"Then give me the number, I'll ask in a little while!"

Seeing that Cai Xiaotang was truly impatient, Xu Xiaoxiao took out her phone, found Zhou Zhou's number, and sent it to Cai Xiaotang.

With this number, Cai Xiaotang was delighted.

But then, a thought popped into her head.

That thought made Cai Xiaotang shake her head and chuckle: "Xiao Xiao, I suddenly realized that you are very suitable for being an influencer."

"Ah, an influencer? What do you mean by that?"

"Look, the Beauty Device from before, and now this Holographic Projection—the things you recommend are all very popular, making people want to place an order without thinking after trying them once."

So that was what she meant.

Understanding this, Xu Xiaoxiao also curled her lips.

And it was only after Cai Xiaotang's reminder that Xu Xiaoxiao remembered there was such a thing as a Beauty Device.

She became curious and asked: "How is the Beauty Device working out?"

"It's quite good; my husband used it whenever he had nothing to do a while ago."

Hmm...

Li Xiao uses a Beauty Device?

And uses it whenever he has nothing to do?

Xu Xiaoxiao expressed that she was very shocked!

Cai Xiaotang continued: "He, ever since he used it once, he fell in love with the feeling of having smooth skin, but I only said one sentence, and he never used it again."

"What did you say?"

"If you're so concerned about your appearance, are you interested in some girl?"

Xu Xiaoxiao was stunned at first, then laughed out loud: "You really turned the tables on him!"

"Right, ever since then, Li Xiao never fights with me over the Beauty Device again, which is great."

When Cai Xiaotang said this, a smug expression was still hanging on her face.

But Xu Xiaoxiao didn't understand: "Since you both like it, why not buy another one?"

"That's what I said too, but Li Xiao insisted on using mine, so he can't blame me for playing dirty."

Cai Xiaotang's voice was very pleasant, and because she was in a good mood, her speaking pace was very light and fast.

Listening more carefully, one could even taste a hint of craftiness.

Xu Xiaoxiao liked this kind of voice very much.

It felt especially full of vitality.

And people like this rarely have problems with their emotions.

But Xu Xiaoxiao admired Cai Xiaotang's attitude of taking responsibility for herself even more.

And that was also something Xu Xiaoxiao should learn.

Finishing the viewing, Xu Xiaoxiao turned off the device.

Cai Xiaotang stretched and then asked enviously: "If I come to see this whenever I'm bored, can I forget all my troubles?"

"Not really, fake is fake; at most, you can rest in the illusion for a while, otherwise..."

Thinking of that pot of flowers in the office, Xu Xiaoxiao murmured dejectedly: "I'll use holographic technology first to help me restore a flower."

"A flower? Do you like flowers very much? If so, I'll send you a few pots another day; just tell me what variety you want."

Cai Xiaotang was very generous; looking at her attitude, sending a whole flower garden would be no problem.

Xu Xiaoxiao was very grateful for Cai Xiaotang's good intentions.

But she refused, and explained: "The flower I mentioned was given to me by an old professor when he retired, but a few days after I took it over, the flower became half-dead, and the branches were bare; if someone asks about it next time, I wouldn't know how to respond."

Xu Xiaoxiao was truly worried.

That pot of flowers had accompanied the old professor for many years and had always been meticulously cared for, growing very well.

As a result, in her hands, it was getting more miserable day by day.

Recently, there weren't even a few leaves left.

It was truly miserable!

Cai Xiaotang did not know there was such a backstory to it.

However, after hearing Xu Xiaoxiao's explanation, she did have a solution: "We can buy an identical flower and plant it in there, a substitute!"

This method...

Was something Xu Xiaoxiao hadn't considered; in extraordinary times, perhaps it could be used.

Regardless, Cai Xiaotang provided Xu Xiaoxiao with a line of thought.

Xu Xiaoxiao turned her head to the side, smiled, and praised: "When it comes to being quick-witted, it still has to be you."

"Easy, easy; what variety is your flower, what color is it, and what size? Tell me in more detail, and I can help you find a matching one."

Xu Xiaoxiao recalled for a moment, then gave a rough description.

After listening, Cai Xiaotang promised: "Leave this matter to me; I will definitely find you one that can pass for the real thing!"

"There's no rush; I heard the old professor went traveling, so as for me, I'll try to save it a bit more and see if a miracle can happen."

Actually, Xu Xiaoxiao herself knew how small the possibility of a miracle happening was.

But she still wanted to try and see.

After all, a fake is a fake.

Even if a substitute can pass for the real thing, it is still deceiving people.

In her heart, Xu Xiaotiao would also feel bad about it.

Xu Xiaoxiao sighed unconsciously.

After hearing it, Cai Xiaotang knew that this woman was blaming herself.

Xu Xiaoxiao was a very cautious person; things others entrusted to her, she would generally take to heart and try her best to complete.

Then, this flower...

Cai Xiaotang asked curiously: "How did that flower end up in such a half-dead state?"

"It was dropped by someone."

"Ah? Who was that person, was it on purpose or an accident?"

"He..."

Sigh, whenever Wang Sinian was mentioned, Xu Xiaoxiao felt a blockage in her chest!

She waved her hand and said with a look of bad luck: "That guy, better not to mention him!"

Seeing that Xu Xiaotiao didn't want to talk about it, Cai Xiaotang didn't keep asking.

She swayed her waist and suggested: "Let's go get a drink together."

"That works too."

Jiang Baobao looked at the screen of her phone, her expression turning cold.
