When the Stand-in O Differentiated into an A - Chapter 11

Qiao Xi had no idea when Yu Xiaoxiao came back to the room and went to sleep, but as soon as she touched the bed, she didn’t want to get up.

When Qiao Xi woke up the next morning, she saw Yu Xiaoxiao looking at her. Her eyes looked gentler than ever, but Qiao Xi immediately realized her work had begun. She quickly sat up and looked at Yu Xiaoxiao.

Qiao Xi looked a little disheveled in the morning wind. She reached out and waved at Yu Xiaoxiao. “Good morning.”

Only then did she notice that Yu Xiaoxiao was wearing a white camisole that revealed her delicate collarbone. Most importantly, Yu Xiaoxiao was… not wearing a bra! As Yu Xiaoxiao lay on her stomach looking at her, Qiao Xi thought she saw something.

Yu Xiaoxiao smiled when she saw Qiao Xi staring blankly. “What are you looking at?”

Qiao Xi’s face turned red, and she looked down. “Nothing… nothing.”

Yu Xiaoxiao saw she was awake and rolled over to get off the bed. She put on a long, off-white cardigan. “You slept like a rock last night. No matter how much I called you, you wouldn’t wake up.”

Only then did Qiao Xi remember that she had been waiting for Yu Xiaoxiao to come back from work. It was probably late when Yu Xiaoxiao came back, so she was in a deep sleep. Qiao Xi had a bad habit—once she fell asleep in the middle of the night, not even the sound of gongs and trumpets could wake her up.

Qiao Xi quickly apologized. “I’m sorry. When I get into a bed, I sleep like a log, and your bed is too comfortable, so I…”

Before she could finish, Yu Xiaoxiao interrupted her. “Alright, it’s getting late. Get up now! After breakfast, you’re going out with me.”

Qiao Xi saw that Yu Xiaoxiao wasn’t mad at her and quickly got dressed. When she took off her pajamas to put on her bra, she secretly glanced at Yu Xiaoxiao.

Although they were pretending to be a couple, Qiao Xi had only known her for two days. Their relationship wasn’t close enough for them to see each other’s bodies. At least, Qiao Xi felt embarrassed.

She saw that after Yu Xiaoxiao put on her cardigan, she went into the bathroom, so she took the opportunity to quickly change.

When Yu Xiaoxiao came out of the bathroom, she was about to take Qiao Xi downstairs. Qiao Xi noticed that the clothes she had folded yesterday were all thrown on the sofa.

Qiao Xi froze. She figured Yu Xiaoxiao must have found them in the way and thrown them on the sofa. Qiao Xi sighed helplessly. She had wanted to ask Yu Xiaoxiao if she could put the clothes in the closet.

Just as she was about to tidy them up, Yu Xiaoxiao stood at the door and looked at her. “It’s time for breakfast. What are you standing around for?”

Qiao Xi explained, “I’m just going to tidy up my clothes. By the way, can I put my clothes in your closet?”

Yu Xiaoxiao frowned slightly when she heard this. “Leave them there. The cleaning staff will come later and tidy up your clothes. You don’t need to do any of this yourself. You just need to follow me wherever I go.”

Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment but quickly came back to her senses and ran to Yu Xiaoxiao’s side. “Okay, I got it.”

Since someone else was going to tidy up, she would go have breakfast with Yu Xiaoxiao first.

Although Qiao Xi knew that skipping breakfast was a form of slow suicide, she had an irregular schedule and rarely ate breakfast before. But now that she had the time, she would eat as much as she could.

When Qiao Xi went downstairs, she saw a long dining table in the living room with toast, sandwiches, honey, milk, buns, and porridge. There was a wide variety of breakfast food, but it seemed like too much for just the two of them.

Well, for a rich miss like Yu Xiaoxiao, it was never just about a meal. It wouldn’t be strange for her to just take one bite of each thing.

But Qiao Xi was different. She didn’t want to waste food. She wanted to try her best to finish everything on the table, but she didn’t think she could. There was just too much food. After eating a sandwich with warm milk and honey and two buns with pumpkin millet porridge, she was stuffed.

What if all this food gets thrown away?

After she finished eating, Qiao Xi looked up at Yu Xiaoxiao. Unlike Qiao Xi, who gobbled down her food, Yu Xiaoxiao ate slowly and deliberately, and she ate less.

Yu Xiaoxiao didn’t like sweets, so she only drank a glass of warm milk. The honey jar remained on Qiao Xi’s side of the table.

While eating breakfast, Yu Xiaoxiao gave her a summary of her performance yesterday. “Although there are still some things you can improve on, your performance is much better than the others.”

Qiao Xi felt like Yu Xiaoxiao was praising her and giggled. “Thank you. I’ll work even harder!”

Yu Xiaoxiao looked up at Qiao Xi. “I hope you can be a bit more observant from now on. When I need you, you have to appear immediately. You do whatever I tell you to do. Of course, I won’t ask you to do anything too unreasonable. But you must always be focused on me. You can’t ignore me.”

As your stand-in, of course I’ll be focused on you. How could anyone ignore you?

Although Yu Xiaoxiao’s words were a bit random, Qiao Xi obediently nodded. Just as Yu Xiaoxiao said, as long as it wasn’t too much, Qiao Xi would just say yes.

“I have a schedule today, and you have to follow me all day. The clothes you’re wearing aren’t appropriate. I bought you a lot of clothes yesterday. Go change into one of them.”

Qiao Xi looked down at her clothes. Today, she was wearing a lotus-colored sweater and plush bloomers. She didn’t think there was anything wrong with her outfit.

It was a bit chilly outside today, so she had specially picked out her fall clothes. The clothes Yu Xiaoxiao bought her yesterday were mostly dresses, and they were all very expensive. Qiao Xi didn’t want to wear them yet.

Yu Xiaoxiao continued, “When we finish our business this morning, I’ll take you shopping for more things. I saw your clothes; you have too few. I’ve also had the maids replace your toiletries.”

Qiao Xi’s eyes widened. “???”
