Chapter 171: About Face
Bai Xiaojiu's words almost made Zheng Qing's feet jump, if she hadn't just walked into the work area, it is estimated that she would have beaten Bai Xiaojiu fat.
"Hmph, sooner or later, I'll let you know the power of the pure masters. Before sitting down, he pretended to threaten.
These words had no deterrent effect, but made Bai Xiaojiu pinch her cheek and say in her ear, "I'm going to prepare for the handover, my little cutie pure master." ”
Zheng Qing almost laughed, reached out to push her hand away, and waved her hand impatiently, "Hurry up." ”
When Bai Xiaojiu was handing over the shift, Qi Jingchen arrived earlier than he expected.
But he glanced at the time on his mobile phone, this time period was almost the time when Bai Xiaojiu took over the shift, and he honestly didn't contact her.
When he walked downstairs to Bai Xiaojiu's company, it was just the time to get off work during the day shift, and people came and went, so he couldn't wait by the elevator door and walked to the hall.
I sat down on the sofa facing the elevator, took a newspaper in my hand, and just opened the newspaper, there was a sound of stumbling talking.
"The man sitting on the couch is so handsome. ”
"You don't know? This is Bai Xiaojiu's boyfriend. Handsome, right? ”
"Be quiet, what should you do if you're heard so loudly?"
"What are you afraid of? is already white and handsome, isn't it normal to be a little white face. If I have the ability, I will raise one. ”
Qi Jingchen originally wanted to cover his face with a newspaper, but when he heard Bai Xiaojiu's name, he subconsciously listened carefully.
The three women walked side by side, their eyes swept over Qi Jingchen from time to time, with admiration for his appearance in their eyes, hiding the disdain in the depths of their eyes.
"The side is also handsome. He doesn't look big. ”
"What does it have to do with age to be a little white face? One of the ordinary-looking women glanced at Qi Jingchen several times, the corners of her mouth twitched, and her eyes were full of regret and jealousy.
Qi Jingchen twisted his body, clenched the newspaper tightly angrily, and strongly restrained himself from listening.
At the bottom of my heart, there are bursts of irritability surging, and I can't wait to get up and teach them how to be human beings with my fists.
But he had promised Bai Xiaojiu before that in the area where she worked, she would not make trouble.
"Stop talking. Let's go. The other woman glanced at Qi Jingchen, who turned around, frowned in embarrassment, moved her steps, and finally left directly.
"It's over, it's a quick day. As soon as Zheng Qing saw Bai Xiaojiu come out, he began to clean up his things on the table, with a relaxed face.
"There's not much going on today, and there's someone waiting for me. Bai Xiaojiu took out his mobile phone, didn't see the text message sent by Qi Jingchen, raised his eyebrows suspiciously, and sent him a text message, "Haven't you arrived yet?"
Qi Jingchen was still irritable in his heart, and he was faintly uneasy because he couldn't find a job recently.
Qiu Zhuping sometimes speaks too bluntly, he says that he doesn't mind, but he feels very uncomfortable, and he can't wait to find a job immediately and try to have as little contact with Qiu Zhuping as possible.
At lunch today, Qiu Zhuping mentioned his salary and the future, and many topics made it difficult for him to truly follow his heart's answers.
It feels really bad to be a deception, especially since he doesn't have a job now, and he has no confidence.
At this moment, thinking of what the three women said just now, his heart seemed to be blocked, and he couldn't breathe.
When his tears were about to come out, Bai Xiaojiu's text message arrived.
Qi Jingchen came back to his senses a little, and he was still uncomfortable in his heart, but he restrained the expression on his face and tried to make himself more natural.
"I just got downstairs and I'm waiting for you, you can just come down. Qi Jingchen replied to the text message, took a few deep breaths, raised his head and blinked.
I think that I am not good enough, if he is good enough, others will only envy Bai Xiaojiu, how can he say such things?
Qi Jingchen had both resentment for his own incompetence and irritability for others to talk like this, and his mind was very complicated.
Bai Xiaojiu received the text message, pursed his lips and smiled, and glanced at Zheng Qing, who had just given up his workstation to his successor colleague, "I have someone to pick up, will I leave directly in a while?"
Zheng Qing glanced at her and took his backpack away, "Okay, I know." The guy who is heavy on color and light on friends. ”
Bai Xiaojiu stuck out her tongue in a good mood and continued to speed up her movements, afraid that Qi Jingchen would wait too long.
When Zheng Qing walked out of the elevator, he saw Qi Jingchen at a glance, waved at him, pointed to it, and motioned for Bai Xiaojiu to come down quickly.
Qi Jingchen smiled gratefully at her, and saw that the colleagues around her turned their heads to look at him, remembering the discussion of those people before, with an indifferent face, he turned his back to them.
Zheng Qing's steps were fast, and he didn't plan to greet him, so he walked out of the hall in a few steps.
The colleagues who walked behind her walked together in groups of three or five, chatting and walking.
Two female colleagues from other game groups happened to walk past Qi Jingchen, and let him hear two whispered discussions.
"This is Bai Xiaojiu's boyfriend, right? I've seen it several times. It's really white......"
"What you say, hahaha, it's really white. ”
Qi Jingchen felt that his heart was like a volcano, which had been activated and was about to erupt.
Hearing one person say that it was nothing, and several people said it over and over again, made him feel that his self-esteem had been trampled on repeatedly.
Clenched his fists and reminded himself of Qi Jingchen, who was restrained and forbearing, and took a few deep breaths before he eased his emotions.
When Bai Xiaojiu came down, he happened to see Qi Jingchen with his back to the elevator, walked behind him, and wanted to raise his hand to pat him, but just raised his hand.
After thinking about it, I walked to his side, probed in front of his eyes, and smiled mischievously, "Hey, handsome guy, are you waiting for someone?"
Qi Jingchen had just adjusted his mood, and when he saw Bai Xiaojiu suddenly appear, he panicked for a moment, and quickly recovered, holding her hand, "Wait for my baby." ”
Bai Xiaojiu didn't notice that his mood was wrong, and smiled brighter at him when he heard this, "Let's go." You didn't have to wait too long, did you?"
"Nope. Qi Jingchen replied very briefly, listening to her tell interesting things at work and walked towards the station.
From the time the two of them got in the car to get out of the car, and then went home, Bai Xiaojiu talked a lot, but Qi Jingchen responded very little, and she didn't notice it.
When they returned home, Bai Junguo and Qiu Zhuping had already finished eating and went for a walk, and the food was warm in the pot.
Bai Xiaojiu and Qi Jingchen were both in the kitchen, one was responsible for scooping out the dishes, and the other was responsible for scooping the rice.
Qi Jingchen picked up the dishes and put them on the dining table, took chopsticks and soup spoons for her, put the food away very considerately, and pulled out a chair for her.
Bai Xiaojiu tilted his head and smiled at him, sat down, picked up his chopsticks and asked softly, "My mother didn't say anything nasty today, did she?"
She still knows a little about Qiu Zhuping, if it weren't for what she said that made Qi Jingchen feel uncomfortable, he wouldn't have asked her and ran out to pick her up from work.
"Nope. Your mom is always very direct. I'm used to it. Qi Jingchen took the dishes for Bai Xiaojiu, and then replied lightly.
Bai Xiaojiu's heart was relieved, and he answered, just put the food in his mouth and chewed it, when he heard Qi Jingchen ask in a low voice: "I haven't been at work, will you think I'm useless?"
"Why do you think that?" Bai Xiaojiu glanced at him in surprise, shook his head, and smiled naturally, "You have no work experience, and your education is not high." It will definitely take time to find the right job, and you don't need to be stressed. ”
Bai Xiaojiu really thought so, she knew that the people in the company thought she was stupid and said a lot of gossip, but she didn't care at all.
She knew Qi Jingchen's situation and felt that he really needed time, and she was willing to give him time, anyway, they still had time to see if they were suitable for each other.
Qi Jingchen looked at her seriously, carefully looked at her expression, didn't see any reluctance, felt a moment of relief in his heart, and soon felt more guilty.
He wants to give her a lot, but now he can't give her anything, what else is there but to give her care?
Bai Xiaojiu felt that his expression was wrong, and looked at him with slight eyebrows, seeing that he didn't dare to look at her eyes, lowered his head, suddenly trembled in his heart, and asked tentatively, "When you waited for me, didn't you hear any gossip?"
Qi Jingchen looked at her like this, and instantly understood that she didn't know how much she had heard, and how uncomfortable her heart had to be, "Do many people say that......?
Before he finished speaking, Bai Xiaojiu put down his chopsticks, stepped forward to cover his mouth, and glared at him angrily, "You are not allowed to say that." I never cared about that, I didn't care what other people said. Did you hear something today and feel bad?"
Qi Jingchen looked at her stunned, his heart was moved and guilty back and forth, making his eyes a little moist, and he felt embarrassed, closed his mouth, and reached out to take her hand away, "I'm not the kind of person who cares about face." I can also care about what people say, but I care about your feelings. ”
Bai Xiaojiu originally thought that he mentioned this topic because he heard what others said, and he felt frustrated and uncomfortable.
How do you know that the point he cares about is her, not others, not face.
Bai Xiaojiu suddenly felt that he was very cute, so cute that people couldn't put it down, every time he faced anything, he seemed to be able to find a shining point in him.
She pursed her lips and smiled, stretched out her hand to hold his face, and leaned in front of him, like a woodpecker, kissing his lips again and again.
Kiss it, and smile and say, "How can you be so cute." I like you like this. ”
Qi Jingchen was originally just talking from her heart, but she knew that she was suddenly like this, and all the unwillingness, annoyance, and grievances in her heart were dispelled away by her kisses.
Peace of mind at once, no matter what others say, he is really working hard, and will work harder in the future, just to give her what she wants.
When she kissed again and again, he raised the corners of his mouth, took advantage of her inattention, reached out to clasp her, and said vaguely: "Don't eat dinner, eat me." ”
Bai Xiaojiu just felt that the atmosphere between the two of them was just right, I don't know why, when I heard his words, I was moved and inexplicably felt very funny, and laughed out loud.
Qi Jingchen was hesitating whether to carry her into the room now, and give her a hot meal later.
All the charms were laughed at by her, and there was nothing left to laugh, only him stared at her innocently and kept covering her mouth and smiling.
Bai Xiaojiu snorted, and had already pushed Qi Jingchen away, holding her stomach and waving her hand at him with a smile, indicating that she was fine.
It wasn't until he looked at her in a daze, that he picked up the chopsticks, "I'm hungry and don't want to eat raw food." ”
Qi Jingchen glanced at her, and reluctantly picked up the chopsticks, "When you're full, try the raw, right?"
Bai Xiaojiu covered her mouth and laughed again, Qi Jingchen looked at her and left all the unhappiness of the night behind, and only felt that it was enough for the two of them to be happy together.
Whether he does well or not, he doesn't need to be judged by others, and he doesn't have to care.
His face is her, as long as she is there, she will always be by his side.
