Chapter 30 23 Years Old: Half a Year's Promise
"Where are you now?" Ai Jiatong asked as soon as he dialed Tao Lei's mobile phone.
"At the hotel, what's wrong?" Tao Lei was a little surprised that Ai Jiatong actually called him.
"I'm going to find you now."
"Huh?!"
"Can't you?"
"No, no, it's just a little flattered." Tao Lei said honestly.
"I'll go over now."
Ai Jiatong took a taxi to Tao Lei's hotel.
In the living room, Ai Jiatong sat on the sofa on the upper right, and Tao Lei sat on the sofa on one side.
"Do you want something to drink?" Tao Lei asked.
"No, I have something to ask you today."
Tao Lei was a little frightened when he saw Ai Jiatong's serious appearance, "What's the matter?" ”
"Does my brother's study abroad have anything to do with you?"
"That's it?" Tao Lei listened and breathed a sigh of relief.
“……”
"That's right, it's me." Tao Lei generously admitted.
Ai Jiatong listened, frowned slightly, and made a straight face, "Tao Lei!" ”
"I don't mean anything else, but I think he fits into a better education."
"You don't have to worry about it."
"I'm just helping out, isn't their school sending people abroad? I can help. ”
"How do you know?"
"I listened to what Ai Xiaodi said, he seemed to think a lot, but with his grades and performance in all aspects, he couldn't get his turn, but I have a way, so that's it." Tao Lei said disapprovingly.
"It's not up to you to help."
"Why?"
"My relationship with you is not clear now, if you help my brother, then our relationship is more complicated, I don't like this."
Tao Lei smiled lightly, "You don't have to feel burdened, it's really nothing, even as a good friend, I will help, it's just a small thing, no matter which friend I will help, really." ”
"Even if that's the case, I don't like it!"
"Ai Jiatong, although I can't say that you are very smart, but you are not stupid, in this society, there is not a relationship, don't talk about anything else, Ai Xiaodi, there is a person in their school who can be sent abroad because of his family background, if you think you owe me, you can invite me to dinner."
“……”
"You don't want to pour cold water on your family, they should be happy, and honestly, don't you want your brother to study abroad? You can't be so selfish just because you don't feel comfortable. ”
"If you help me like this, I won't necessarily be able to give you anything, is it worth it?"
"It's just a gesture for me, it's not worth it." Tao Lei said with a smile on his face.
Ai Jiatong blinked, it seemed that this was indeed the case, it was nothing for Tao Lei at all, it was just a phone call, this is probably the difference between the rich and the poor.
"This is what I owe you, say whatever you want."
"Are you sure?" Tao Lei put his hands around his chest, crossed his legs, and raised his eyebrows and asked.
Ai Jiatong hesitated.
"Look, you're going to talk big!"
"Well, within my power."
"Don't worry, I won't force you to be with me, so let's do it, you go back to Q City with me, stay by my side for half a year, if you still don't feel for me, I'll let you go."
"Is that okay?"
Tao Lei nodded, "You live with me." ”
"What?!"
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, we've lived together before, haven't we?"
"That was before, it's different now!!"
"I don't spend too often in the apartment because I travel a lot and I work late, as you know."
“……”
"If you don't think so, then stay in the apartment across from me."
"Forget it, but I warn you, you can't touch me, or you'll die!" Ai Jiatong had a straight face.
Tao Lei couldn't help but feel funny when he heard it, "I'm not like that, that time was just an accident, you should know very well who I am." ”
Tao Lei's words made Ai Jiatong's face a little unbearable, after all, what Tao Lei said was the truth, but don't blame her for thinking so much, who told Tao Lei to do that before.
"What about my job?"
"You shouldn't be able to stay in that government either, so let's do it, I'll arrange a position for you in the company."
"This." Ai Jiatong hesitated.
"It's only been half a year, how?"
"Okay, then so be it, if I can't accept you in half a year, then, you have to let me go." Ai Jiatong said seriously.
Tao Lei nodded, "It's a word, but you also have to promise that you can't avoid me, you have to be the same as before." ”
"Okay, I'll try."
"Did you eat breakfast?"
"Not yet."
"Let's go, let's eat." Tao Lei stood up and said.
Ai Jialiang decided to go abroad, he first studied the language in China for three months before studying abroad, because of this, Ai's parents also invited relatives to dinner, and the busy Ai Jiaying also went home when he knew the news.
The house is very lively, there are many relatives here, Ai's mother is cooking, Ai's father and Ai Jialiang greet guests, Ai Jiatong and Ai Jiaying are in the room.
"It's amazing, Ah Liang can actually go abroad to study, I really don't believe it." Ai Jiaying still looked incredulous.
"I'm also unbelievable, walking shit luck."
"Who the hell helped?" Ai Jiaying sat cross-legged on the bed and thought.
Ai Jiatong looked at the book and didn't speak.
"Don't you know?" Ai Jiatong pushed her and asked.
"What can I know?"
Ai Jiaying pouted, "Could it be the one you admire?" ”
Ai Jiatong listened, the book in her hand slipped down, and she looked at her with a frightened expression.
Ai Jiaying was displeased, "Hey, what do you mean, I'm a heartthrob now!" ”
"Forget it!" Ai Jiatong said unceremoniously, and then picked up the book.
"Ai Jiatong!"
"It's not big or small!" Ai Jiatong raised her eyebrows.
Ai Jiaying stuck out her tongue, then got up and took out the script to her bag to read.
"It's okay on the crew, right?"
"Well, everybody's taking good care of me, it's fine, it's just that I'm a little nervous."
"Not surprisingly, I'm like that, you really want to enter the showbiz?"
"Nice, isn't it?"
"I don't think so."
Because Tao Lei was going back to work, Ai Jiatong returned to Q City, she resigned from the government, moved into Tao Lei's apartment, and started the so-called cohabitation life.
Ai Jiatong has been back in Q City for three days, although he lives under the same roof, he has only met twice, once when he got up in the morning, Tao Lei just came back and took a shower and went out, and once now, Tao Lei came back and was packing his luggage on a business trip.
Now at ten o'clock in the morning, Ai Jiatong stood at the door of Tao Lei's room, watching him pack his luggage and put his hands behind his back.
Tao Lei noticed Ai Jiatong and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" ”
"Where are you going?" Ai Jiatong bit her lower lip and asked.
"New York, about two days." Tao Lei said while taking out his clothes from the cabinet.
"What are you going to do?"
"It's a meeting."
"Oh."
Tao Lei looked at Ai Jiatong with a bored look, stopped cleaning up, and looked at her, "Jiatong, I'm sorry, I've been busy lately, I originally wanted to take you to New York, but I thought that I wouldn't be free to accompany you, it's better for you to stay in the hotel alone, and I'll arrange your work when I come back, it's just two days, please bear with me." ”
"You're so busy!"
"Yes, because the previous work has been lost, there is no way, I promise, I will definitely help you arrange work in two days."
"If you have something to do, get busy first, I'm fine." Ai Jiatong knew that Tao Lei was scolded by his father because she fell behind a lot in her work, and to be honest, she felt quite guilty.
Tao Lei packed up, picked up the suitcase and walked to Ai Jiatong's side, touching the top of her hair, "Be good, wait for me to come back." ”
Ai Jiatong frowned slightly and knocked off his hand, and took a few steps back, because the two were too close, "I'm not a child." ”
Tao Lei smiled lightly, "When I get to New York, I will buy a lot of things for you." ”
"Forget it!" After Ai Jiatong finished speaking, he turned around and walked to the hall to watch TV.
Tao Lei asked while following her, "Will you pick me up when I come back?" ”
"Don't."
"Why?"
"I'm not your servant!"
Three black lines appeared on Tao Lei's forehead, "You know what I don't mean." ”
“……”
"I was waiting for you at the airport that day, and I will send you the time I came back."
"I'm not going."
Tao Lei didn't think so, and when he walked to the door, he spoke, "I'll wait for you." ”
Ai Jiatong frowned, "I won't go!" ”
"I'll wait until you show up."
"You like it."
Ai Jiatong was too bored in the apartment, so she went out to play mahjong in the mahjong stall, although she didn't like to play with people she didn't know, but there was no way, who called her so boring, she chatted with Zeng Baifei on the phone every day, Zeng Baifei knew that she tried to accept Tao Lei's approval, and said a lot of good things, Ai Jiatong was very suspicious that Zeng Baifei was bought by Tao Lei with the beauty of a beauty.
Tao Lei finally returned to China and could take a breath, and he sent a text message to Ai Jiatong about the time to go back and the place where he was waiting.
At the international airport, Tao Lei and several staff members came out of the exit.
"You guys go back first, if you don't go back to the company tomorrow, call me if you have anything." Tao Lei said as he walked.
At this time, although he was wearing big sunglasses, his handsome and sunny appearance could not be blocked, and his dressing style was more gentlemanly, which attracted many people's side eyes, and those who didn't know thought he was a star.
"Yes, Mr. Tao."
Tao Lei sat at the agreed place and ordered a cup of coffee.
On the other hand, Ai Jiatong fell into the mahjong battle in full swing, and she didn't look at her phone at all, and she would automatically ignore it when she played mahjong.
A few hours later, Tao Lei was still waiting there, drinking cup after cup of coffee, from his original vigor to a very gloomy appearance, and his mobile phone was also out of battery, so he could only watch the crowd coming and going......
And Ai Jiatong returned to the apartment to take a shower and eat something, took out his mobile phone and was about to play but saw Tao Lei's text message, a little surprised, this text message has been sent for a long time, and Tao Lei's return to China has also passed a few hours, and now it is more than eleven o'clock in the evening, Ai Jiatong hurriedly called Tao Lei, but his mobile phone was turned off, and he couldn't help but curse lowly......
