Chapter 27: This is for my living expenses. (3)

She wasn’t sure whether it was because he found her too rowdy, he had Xu Fei took her back to pack up her stuff.

Returning back to the temporary apartment that she had been staying at the last two days, Lin Xi packed up her belongings and text books back into her luggage bag with alacrity.

By the time Lin Xi returned to Gu Shao’s office, he was reading some research reports. Seeing that, Lin Xi decided to wait quietly on the couch.

Gu Shao attended another meeting after dinner.

He finally finished his work by 9 PM that night.

Lin Xi was still looking at him excitedly with her big eyes then.

“Are you done with work, Dad?”

Lin Xi stood up with him when she saw him grabbing his jacket and stood up.

“Are we going to go home now?” asked Lin Xi.

Gu Shao has yet to get used to the “Dad”. “Yes, let’s head out,” said Gu Shao stiffly.

“Okay.”

Lin Xi went back to Gu Shao’s place that was fairly close to both NTN Technology Center and A University. She seemed very happy the entire way.

Once they had arrived, Lin Xi studied the entire place from looking inside from the entrance. This place was huge but overall did not give the feeling that this is a residence. It looked very much like the office that she was just at.

Gu Shao called out to her when he saw her standing foolishly at the entrance.

Lin Xi finally stepped inside the house after she heard Gu Shao calling out to her.

Once she got inside, she, once again, stood there in the middle while holding onto her luggage bag with both hands, not knowing what to do with herself.

Gu Shao felt a bit of a headache when he saw that.

“Put your bag down,” said Gu Shao as he pointed at a table to one side.

Lin Xi shook her head and insisted. “It’s fine. I can just carry it.”

Having said that, she tightened her grab on the bag.

After what she had been through, the outside of the bag was very dirty. Lin Xi didn’t want to dirty the table by putting it on top of it.

Gu Shao decided to drop the subject. He pointed at a room door that was closed and said, “That will be your room from now on.

“Xu Fei had gotten you what you need already, right?” asked Gu Shao.

Lin Xi nodded.

“We will go get anything else that you might need tomorrow,” said Gu Shao.

“Okay,” replied Lin Xi in a low voice as she docilely walked over to the room that Gu Shao had pointed out to her with her luggage bag in tow.

Noticing that Gu Shao was feeling awkward about suddenly having a daughter, Lin Xi tried to keep her presence to a minimum.

Later that night, however, Lin Xi came out of her room again.

Lin Xi followed the light to the study.

Gu Shao was reviewing a technical manuscript.

As soon as Gu Shao looked up, he could see half of Lin Xi’s head sticking out from the door. Noticing that she had been seen, she quickly hid behind the door as though she was about to walk away.

“What is it?” asked Gu Shao.

Lin Xi stopped hiding after he had stopped her. She shuffled over to the door awkwardly and gave Gu Shao a guilty smile. She then asked, “Dad, am I interrupting?”

Gu Shao didn’t say a word. That was a yes.

“What is it that you want to talk about?” He asked again.

“Well… it’s this.” Lin Xi hesitated for a few second then, walking inside the study, she placed what she had been holding in her hand onto Gu Shao’s desk.

Folded into a quarter of its original size, it was apparently a stack of money of different values. Some of them were 10 yuan.

Gu Shao looked up at Lin Xi.

Lin Xi, “This is my living expenses”

Living expenses?

Gu Shao’s look lingered on that bundle of money.

Over on this side, seeing that Gu Shao seemed to have frowned, Lin Xi quickly walked up and smoothed out the stack of money.

As though worried that Gu Shao would find it not sufficient, she quickly added, “That’s all I have for now. I’ll pay you more next month.”
