"Are you okay?" Looking at Jiang Chen who was coming, Xia Shiyu bit her lip, not knowing what to say, and finally only squeezed out this sentence.

"Something, a little bit injured. Jiang Chen cheekily pointed to the small opening on the side of his cheek. If Jiang Chen hadn't pointed it out, I'm afraid no one would have found such a small wound.

"I, I'll take care of it for you. Xia Shiyu lowered her head with some guilt. She never owes favors, but she owes this person so much at the moment.

"Here, saliva can kill bacteria. Jiang Chen blurted out almost subconsciously, which surprised him a little.

Huh, how did Lao Tzu become so flamboyant?

"I have alcohol and gauze in my house. Xia Shiyu coldly faced Jiang Chen's teasing.

"Don't look at me like that, I'm your new creditor. Jiang Chen raised his hand with a smile and shook the IOU between his fingers, "Look." But I'm good at everything, but I'm a little too kind and won't charge you interest. ”

Is there anyone more narcissistic than this guy Xia Shiyu looked at the triumphant Jiang Chen speechlessly. She was speechless and confused at the same time, is this still the original **, silk who didn't even dare to meet her gaze?

"I'll pay you back, along with interest. Xia Shiyu lowered her head in gratitude, and assured Jiang Chen in a positive tone, but immediately opened her mouth with a look of hesitation, "According to the normal interest rate." ”

At the interest rate of loan sharks, she was not sure that she would be able to afford it.

Jiang Chen shrugged his shoulders and didn't say anything. He knows very well the character of this strong woman, and once he recognizes something, he will never change.

"That, Xia Shiyu. ”

"Eh!" Hearing the shopkeeper's greeting, Xia Shiyu hurriedly turned around and responded.

"This is half a month's salary for you, although I'm sorry, but I really can't afford to mess with those people, you can do it, okay, you won't have to go to work tomorrow." The boss said with a difficult face, gritted his teeth, and still said the very heartless sentence.

It's almost a pleading tone.

Taking the envelope containing the money, Xia Shiyu nodded stunned, looking at the closed flower shop, the pair of evasive and suspicious eyes, this place where she had been working for half a month. For some reason, she wanted to cry.

This is the first time this is the first time Xia Shiyu has been so vulnerable.

"Dismissed?" Jiang Chen teased, watching his boss being fired again, how can this feel so cool?

Xia Shiyu ignored Jiang Chen's teasing, just bit her lip and looked at him with a complicated expression, then turned around and walked home. Jiang Chen consciously followed behind, because Xia Shiyu had said that he would help him deal with his wounds.

Although the wound was about to stop bleeding at this point, the curiosity to see what the former boss lived was still in the ascendant. It's boring to be idle anyway, isn't it?

Hehehehe, Jiang Chen secretly snickered, he felt that he was too bad. It's almost catching up with Sun Jiao's chick.

Stepping on the black moss-covered stairs, Jiang Chen frowned, he was really a little surprised that there was such an old house in Wanghai City. And the cracks in the wall don't look like a place to live.

When Xia Shiyu took out the key and unscrewed the rusty iron door, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This chick is really strong, if she were another girl, I'm afraid she would definitely not be able to bear it.

What's more, she is still such a beautiful girl, she puts down her body and is coquettish, but I'm afraid that 500,000 is really not a big problem.

Such a good face is all spoiled by that stinky temper, hehe.

There is a personality, and then there are eggs!

There was a faint musty smell at the door, but it was much better after entering the door. The smell of air freshener is obvious, and it can be seen that Xia Shiyu, this chick, has sprayed a lot of this thing. This kind of approach of treating the symptoms but not the root cause is quite helpless.

The house was very small, much smaller than Jiang Chen's low-rent house. The living room and kitchen are next to each other, and there is only one bedroom that is not very spacious. There is no TV in the living room, just a wooden table that looks like it is a few years old, and the chairs are very old-fashioned, maybe you can make some money if you sell them as antiques? Not to mention things like sofas and coffee tables.

There are no ceiling fans on the roof, and there is naturally no air conditioning on the walls, only a plugged in fan in the corner of the wall. The most valuable appliance here should be the stainless steel kettle, which was brought from home when he escaped debts?

The laptop on the table is supposed to be her own, but obviously there will be no wifi here, so what's the use of having a computer?

Jiang Chen noticed the two pairs of women's shoes neatly placed at the door. A woman only has two pairs of shoes, and it is somewhat impossible to think about it. It seems that she must have fled here in such a hurry that she didn't even bring a few pairs of shoes.

Although the environment is simple, it can be seen that it has been cleaned with care.

"Sorry, it's a bit rudimentary. Feel free to sit down. Xia Shiyu said a little stiffly. Bringing a man she didn't know very well to her home, this was the first time Xia Shiyu had done this.

Even her ex-boyfriend, she always asked him to stop at the door. Being alone with a man made her feel uncomfortable all over her body. Perhaps it is this excess sense of self-protection that makes her not even have someone to rely on when she is in trouble.

With that, Xia Shiyu turned around and walked into the small bedroom.

Jiang Chen casually pulled over a stool and sat down on it with a big grin, but it almost made him fall.

His mother's, the legs of the stool were all lame, Jiang Chen scolded secretly, and changed to a stool to sit on.

Soon, Xia Shiyu walked out with a small bottle of alcohol and a cotton swab.

"Where?" asked very mechanically, both in terms of movement and demeanor.

"You really want it here" Jiang Chen smiled bitterly, he actually just wanted to tease this former female boss, but he didn't expect that she actually took out a bottle of alcohol.

"I said I'd help you with your wounds. Xia Shiyu took a deep breath and approached Jiang Chen's face.

On the contrary, Jiang Chen felt a little embarrassed, and the hands on both sides seemed to move back and forth without knowing where to put them, allowing the iceberg beauty in front of him to pinch a cotton swab dipped in alcohol, smearing the position of "injury".

"Don't move. Xia Shiyu frowned slightly, and glared at Jiang Chen, who was not very peaceful.

"Okay," Jiang Chen smiled bitterly again.

It's so fragrant, a fragrance of gardenia lingers on the tip of Jiang Chen's nose. There was no jewelry on the fair-skinned neck, and Jiang Chen vaguely remembered that there should have been a necklace here. Because of leaning over, the neckline of the cool summer dress faintly revealed an ambiguous ravine. Although it is estimated that it is only B, it is simply not enough to see compared to Sun Jiao's 36D, but with the willow waist that Yingying holds, the overall beauty is better than a little fresh.

Both her figure and face are goddess-level, which is very embarrassing to say, Jiang Chen once fantasized about her wearing black and silk.

The black hair in the impression was coiled behind his head, but at this moment, the long black hair was neatly tied into a ponytail, which made Jiang Chen feel a little dazed for a while. Is Xia Shiyu, who is dressed as a female college student who has just left campus, still the urban white-collar worker who looks capable?

"Look at what. Noticing Jiang Chen's somewhat red gaze, Xia Shiyu couldn't help but shout a little scared, but her face still had that very protective cold expression.

"No, nothing. Jiang Chen touched his nose in embarrassment.

The wound treatment was finished, but the eyes of the two were met.

Time seemed to stand still

It's embarrassing

"Well, it smells so good. Ha, haha" Jiang Chen scratched his head with a somewhat far-fetched smile and broke the silence.

Xia Shiyu was slightly stunned, a flush appeared on her cheeks, and her cold expression loosened slightly, but soon her eyes became colder.

"It's the smell of gardenias. Maybe it was pollen at work. Xia Shiyu frowned, sniffed her cuffs, spoke quickly, and then quickly packed up the alcohol bottle and cotton swabs, and hurriedly returned to the bedroom.

With her heart beating so fast and pressing her undulating chest, Xia Shiyu stood beside the bedside table and gasped slightly, looking at herself in the mirror with a complicated expression. She didn't know what was wrong with her, she was so out of shape.

His heart was beating so fast, Jiang Chen touched his chest in surprise.

I shouldn't have taken a fancy to this chick, but Jiang Chen quickly dismissed this idea, attributing it to the natural reaction of hormones.

Compared with the kind of beauty with a cold face, he prefers Sun Jiao's kind of beauty that is lively, has big breasts, sometimes domineering, and sometimes a small woman, of course, if only it wasn't so domineering, cough cough.

It didn't take long for Xia Shiyu to come out of the bedroom, interrupting Jiang Chen's thoughts. Xia Shiyu sat opposite Jiang Chen, but there was no conversation between the two. Silence lingered between the two, the only thing that was not calm was the sound of the clock clattering and the heartbeat that only each could hear.

"Thank you" was Xia Shiyu who took the lead in breaking the silence.

"No thanks, I just happened to pass by" Jiang Chen lied, in fact, he went to her with a bad purpose today, but after hearing the news that she had left her job, he left tastelessly.

But speaking of which, he really didn't expect that this stubborn woman would actually thank him.

"You," Xia Shiyu paused again, biting her lower lip, and after hesitating for a moment, she still asked the confusion in her heart, "Don't you hate me?"

This question did not surprise Jiang Chen, he himself was asking himself this question: Do I still hate her?

"Hate. However, in the end, the words that had been woven in his mind for a long time only turned into these two short words, and Jiang Chen looked at Xia Shiyu's eyes with some complexity and opened his mouth.

Then why did you save me?

This sentence was not asked, but Jiang Chen was unexpectedly able to read the question that was blocked in her throat from her eyes.

Jiang Chen asked himself if he hated her, it was she who quit him, so that he almost ended up on the streets, and he almost couldn't even eat. He had not spared the most vicious curses, he had not spared the most vulgar insults, and yet these were gone.

Yes, a lot of things don't happen after venting. Life still has to go on, and Jiang Chen is living a good life now, so the reason to hate her naturally does not exist.

"There aren't too many reasons," Jiang Chen sighed and shook his head, "To be honest, I was quite gloated when I heard that you were fired." As you can tell, I bought the dress at that clothing store. However, I suddenly realized that I was quite naïve. ”

"Childish?" Xia Shiyu chewed on this word in a low voice, she was very confused by what Jiang Chen said, and her cold eyes were full of confusion.

If Jiang Chen humiliated her fiercely, or even beat her, it would make her feel better. However, this man, who was once pushed into a desperate situation by her, did nothing at the moment, but pulled her when she was killed.

Why

"Even if I take revenge on you, will I get any compensation?" Jiang Chen shook his head, "To be honest, the pleasure of revenge is very refreshing. But if I watched a beautiful woman being forced to pay for her debts by a hooligan, and I had the power to stop it, I just stood on the sidelines and gloated. I'm afraid the guilt after the pleasure is not small, not to mention that it is still my acquaintance, and there is no irreconcilable hatred between us. It's just a job, and even if you give it back to me, I'm afraid I won't be able to look down on it. ”

It's just a job, compared to what he lost, Jiang Chen asked himself that he had gained a lot. If he hadn't drunk heavily because he had lost his job, he wouldn't have drunk down that path and wouldn't have gotten the jump bracelet that would have brought him endless wealth

A loss may turn out to be a gain.

I have to say that fate is so magical.

"After I was about to quit you, I thought a lot," Xia Shiyu looked at Jiang Chen with a complicated expression, "Perhaps, as the facts have come true, I am not a qualified manager." ”

"Your abilities deserve recognition, but you don't understand people's hearts. Jiang Chen said with a smile.

"The human mind? Do you mean psychology? ”

"No, no, no, it's not the kind of thing that can be written in textbooks, even if you use it for a lifetime, no one can really figure it out."

The two sat at the table like friends they hadn't seen in many days, catching up. Although there is no tea, and there is no pleasing scenery, Jiang Chen, who is sitting here, has indeed gained a comfort that he has not gotten this day.

Yes, the consumption is very refreshing, and the big meal is also very enjoyable, but it is still a little lonely.

In this city that is so big that it is overwhelming, there is not even a friend who can have a long talk, maybe this is what Jiang Chen really longs for. The buddies in the same dormitory went their separate ways after graduation, the class flower who had a crush also went back to her hometown to get married, and the counselor who had drunk with him also began to deal with the new class, and everyone was like clockwork.

This humble cottage brought him a rare touch of tranquility and satisfaction.

Perhaps, this is the reward of fate for goodwill?;
