The next day, Wei Xun ate breakfast with Nan Yan in their room as usual.

Wei Xun slowly and methodically sliced ​​the fried egg.

Nan Yan sat opposite him, sipping her milk, her gaze occasionally falling on the strawberry mousse. She moved her fork but didn't touch it.

After Wei Xun finished breakfast, Nan Yan cautiously asked, "Sir, may I give this dessert to my friend?"

Wei Xun looked up, somewhat surprised: "You've made friends?"

"Yes. She's the pretty and gentle young lady who works at the convenience store downstairs."

Wei Xun put down his napkin, a mischievous smile playing on his lips: "Silly boy, do you have a girl you like?"

"No, no!" Nan Yan's cheeks flushed instantly. "She's just my friend, nothing more."

Wei Xun found his flustered appearance amusing: "If you like her, take her out to dinner, to a movie, and buy her gifts. Be brave and generous."

"Huh?" Nan Yan blinked, clearly not understanding the intricacies of the matter.

"I have to go to the branch office to handle some things today, and I might not be back until midnight." Wei Xun stood up and picked up his coat draped over the back of the chair. "You can have fun with your 'friends.' We're going back to Nancheng tomorrow, and we don't know when we'll see each other again."

Nan Yan lowered her head, her fingers fiddling with the mousse packaging box: "But she has to go to work; she can't just leave."

"Which convenience store?" Wei Xun asked. "What's its name?"

Nan Yan shook her head: "I don't know her name, I only know that she has a ponytail and round eyes."

Wei Xun took out his phone and sent a message to Qing Lin, briefly describing the girl's features and the location of the convenience store, asking her to help make arrangements.

Then, he ruffled Nan Yan's hair: "Alright, I'm leaving now. You can take your mousse cake and go find her. Remember to wear the new clothes I bought yesterday."

Nan Yan smiled expectantly and immediately got up to go back to the second bedroom to change her clothes.

When Nan Yan arrived at the convenience store downstairs, she immediately spotted the girl with the ponytail.

Today, however, she wasn't wearing her blue shop assistant uniform; instead, she was wearing a white dress and carrying a canvas bag, as if she was about to leave.

"Miss," Nan Yan said, walking quickly over, "Here, have this dessert. It's strawberry flavored, and it's delicious."

The girl paused for a moment, then smiled and accepted the gift: "Thank you."

She opened the box, smelled the faint scent of strawberries, and her eyes crinkled into a smile: "My manager suddenly gave me a day of paid leave, and I was just getting ready to go home."

Nan Yan's heart skipped a beat, and she mustered her courage to ask, "I...can I invite you to a movie?"

The girl was clearly taken aback, blinked, and looked at the sincere-looking boy in front of her.

"I took the subway and ate a hamburger yesterday, both firsts for me." Nan Yan's voice was a little strained, but she still insisted on finishing her sentence: "I'm going back to Nancheng tomorrow. Can we hang out together today?"

Looking at his bewildered yet expectant expression, the girl assumed he was just a poor child from a remote mountain area who had been visiting wealthy relatives in Shanghai for the past few days and hadn't seen much of the world. She couldn't help but feel a pang of pity for him.

So she smiled and nodded, "Okay. But the movie theater doesn't open this early, so I'll take you to the amusement park instead. I've taken my little brother there before; they have a carousel and a roller coaster, it's so much fun."

Nan Yan's eyes lit up instantly: "Okay! Thank you!"

Meanwhile, in the conference room of Wei's Group's Shanghai branch, the atmosphere was serious.

Wei Xun sat in the main seat, holding documents in his hand, his face expressionless.

However, a careful employee noticed that his phone was placed face down on the table, with a fluffy black kitten doll sticking out of the phone strap. It was completely out of place with his usual aloof demeanor, creating a strangely endearing contrast.

Halfway through the meeting, Wei Xun's phone vibrated slightly.

He picked up his phone, unlocked the screen, and saw that it was a selfie sent by Nan Yan via her phone watch.

In the photo, Nan Yan is standing next to a girl in a white dress. The two are smiling happily at the camera, and Nan Yan is holding up an amusement park ticket.

Wei Xun's lips unconsciously curled into a smile, and he lightly tapped the screen with his finger, replying with a "OK".

The department manager sitting opposite him paused for a moment, almost forgetting what he was about to say.

Mr. Wei is usually very serious and rarely smiles. He is so serious during meetings that it makes people afraid to breathe. Today, he actually smiled at his phone, which is unprecedented.

During the subsequent meeting, the staff noticed that General Manager Wei would occasionally glance at his phone, and his expression softened considerably.

The atmosphere gradually eased, and everyone's work efficiency improved as a result.

No one knew that Mr. Wei's phone was filled with photos sent by Nan Yan.

There was a brightly colored carousel, the scenery seen from the Ferris wheel, the giant hot dog he bought, and a selfie he took with the girl while holding an ice cream cone.

Each message helped him relax his tense nerves.

Nan Yan and the girl spent the whole day at the amusement park.

That evening, they took popcorn and went to see a Disney animated movie together.

……

When Wei Xun finished work, it was already past 1 a.m.

He swiped open his phone and saw the message Nan Yan had sent two hours earlier, and couldn't help but smile.

"Sir, I'm going to bed now. I had a very happy day, thank you. By the way, my friend's name is Hongye, the one I asked earlier. Isn't she brave?"

This silly goose, it takes him so much courage to ask a girl's name, he's so cute.

He returned to the hotel, walked to the door of the second bedroom, and gently pushed it open a crack. He saw Nan Yan sleeping soundly, breathing evenly, with her brows relaxed.

Wei Xun smiled, gently closed the door, and turned to return to his own room.

He was going back to Nancheng tomorrow. Looking at the little black cat keychain on his phone, he wondered how to settle Nan Yan.

Is it true that he picked up a homeless child from the city?

It seems that this is the only way.
