50. Chapter 49
Xu Jing shook off Bai Zifan, stood up with long legs, and said hoarsely: "Follow me." β
"Okay, okay, I'll go with you, as long as you don't embarrass him anymore." Xia Minyuan's pretty little face cried so much that he bent down to hold Xu Jing's hand, and said sadly, "No matter what you ask me to do, I will promise you." β
Bai Zifan raised his swollen face with a pig's head, barely opened a slit in his eyes, and said vaguely: "Min Yuan, don't ask him." I'd rather die than marry him. Bloody fingers moved slightly, tugging at the corners of her skirt.
"Zifanβ"
"Min Wonβ"
The two hugged their heads and cried, like a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks that had been separated.
Ji Tang: "......, hey, do you two want to figure out the situation first before shouting."
Xu Jing glanced at the two of them with mentally retarded eyes, grabbed Ji Tang's wrist, and left without looking back. His fingers trembled with anger, but as if he was afraid of scratching her, he only buttoned his nails into his own fingertips. He has long hands and legs, fast and big steps, and Ji Tang follows behind him, like a little chicken being dragged away.
On the quiet and deserted long street, the occasional car drove by, and the headlights skimmed his gloomy face for a moment, and soon returned to darkness.
Ji Tang had countless thoughts in his mind, and he always felt that he knew her as well, otherwise, with his character, how could he be angry and beat people? Could it be that the unreliable system is wrong again?
Thinking of this, she asked him tentatively: "This ...... Mr? Have we seen it before? β
Xu Jing's back froze. He remembered that she had no memory of her past life. To her, he was just a stranger - a stranger who had beaten her husband so badly. What would she think of him, treating him as a strange person with violent tendencies?
He stopped, let go of her hand stiffly, turned around, and said as softly as he could: "This young lady, I'm really not a bad person. I hit that man because I couldn't get angry. Such a shameless scum, you better see it as soon as possible and leave him. β
He put the word "leave" very heavy, almost gritting his teeth.
Ji Tang breathed a sigh of relief, but also had an unspeakable loss. She nodded, "I don't need you to say it, I'll do the same." Just now, thank you. β
"No thanks." Xu Jing desperately wanted to show his friendliness, and unfolded a gentle smile, "I just have too much sense of justice and can't get used to these things." Even if it weren't you, I'd help. β
Justice...... Are you sure this word has anything to do with you? And as soon as you "shot", you almost killed someone.
Ji Tang held back a smile, lowered his head and coughed dryly.
A hint of anxiety flashed in Xu Jing's eyes: "Are you not feeling well?" β
"No, no." Ji Tang shook his hand and looked at the sky, "It's too late, I should go back." β
"Where do you live? I'll send you! Xu Jing realized that something was wrong after speaking, and met her surprised eyes, and quickly added, "I don't mean anything else." It's dark, you're not safe as a girl. β
Ji Tang laughed so much that his intestines were about to twist, but he still had to pretend to be "we are not familiar" on his face, for embarrassment: "This is ...... Not okay? After Xu Jing's repeated pleading, he reported the name of the hotel where he was located, "Then I will trouble you." β
"My surname is Xu, just call me Xu Jing." He graciously took the clothes she had in hand, "I'll help you get it." β
Ji Tang thought that this dress was supposed to be worn to see him tomorrow, and he couldn't help but laugh, and a little smile naturally appeared on his face.
Xu Jing saw her smiling face, her whole body was warm and indescribably comfortable, and she couldn't wait to hug her immediately, but she could only clench her hands and endure it-
"When did Miss Ji come to Shanghai?"
"It hasn't been long since I arrived."
No wonder he never found anyone.
The two chatted with each other, and slowly walked into a dark alley. "You wait." Xu Jing walked in front and kicked the stones off her feet for her, "Be careful, don't fall." β
"Well, it's okay, I've been through it several times." Ji Tang saw his expensive leather shoes, which were scratched by the stones, "Mr. Xu, your shoes are ......" He turned his head, his handsome face was even more elegant in the moonlight, his eyes were dark, and he whispered: "It's just a pair of shoes, you're fine." β
Living alone in such a place, if something happens to her, he will hate himself for the rest of his life.
Ji Tang looked at his tall back, and something called "sense of security" suddenly grew in his heart. However, she didn't even know whether he was a real person, a projection of a parallel world, or a set of programming of the system, so she fell in love with it, and there was no way back.
Will they see each other again after the nine dungeons are over?
"Miss Ji, Miss Ji ......"
She woke up from her trance only to find that they were already standing in front of the inn.
"I'm sorry, I was distracted." She bowed her head at him and thanked him, "Thank you, Mr. Xu, tonight." Then he walked to the door of the inn.
"Miss Ji!" Xu Jing stopped her, his brows were so tight that it was distressing, and he stared at her for a long time before he whispered, "You remember to bolt the doors and windows, you have to have breakfast tomorrow, don't kick the quilt, it's cold, you'll catch a cold when it's cold." β
Her heart shook as hard as she slammed into his eyes, and suddenly an urge arose to run up and hug him.
After a long, long time, she found her voice, restrained her overflowing thoughts, and replied, "Got it, thank you." β-
Seeing her disappear at the top of the stairs, Xu Jing knew what it meant to live like a year.
He couldn't leave her. Not for a single second. Just like a fish can't leave the water, or it will dry up and die; A tree cannot be separated from the soil, otherwise it will wither and rot. He looks down on Xia Minyuan's blindness and ignorance, but he is deeply in love, who is not a moth to the fire?
Xu Jing pushed open the creaky door of the old hotel and said to the drunken boss, "Give me a room, just the one next door to the girl." β
"Uh, that room is ......"
He slapped a wad of money on the greasy desk and said coldly, "You will have a way." β-
Seeing a man with a fierce face, grinning with big yellow teeth, taking the money and leaving the hotel, his eyes darkened, he took the key, and stepped up the rickety staircase.
Dim oil lamps, lame tables and chairs, musty mattresses.
That's where she lives in Shanghai.
Xu Jing spread his handmade suit jacket on the ground, leaned against a thin wooden wall, rested one hand on his knees, and sat on his long legs. Half of his face was pressed against the cold wall, and the remaining half was beaten by the meager light into an oil painting-like texture, which was shadowed in the dark.
The sound of running water sounded next door, probably she was washing her face, mixed with only a little hot water, and she was freezing and hissing for cool air.
She began to sing, and put it together in a haphazard manner, and stepped barefoot on the floor, and threw herself onto the bed, rolled it up in the shape of a pupal quilt, and closed her eyes contentedly. He imagined her sleeping soundly, always sleeping well, quiet and innocent, regardless of her appearance, just to make people feel at ease.
In the middle of the night, she got up and poured herself a glass of water, because it was cold, and her stomach hurt a little.
Xu Jing was scared when she heard this, and stood up several times, wanting to knock on her door, but she was afraid of disturbing her, and was mistaken for a stalker, so she was so anxious that she was sweating.
Then, she fell asleep again.
Dream twice, kick once, giggle once.
The light of the sky gradually brightens from the outside of the curtains to the house. Downstairs, the hawkers shouted for breakfast. He moved his stiff joints, shook the dust off his coat, took his shoes in his hands, and tiptoed downstairs.
"Sir, so early?" The boss yawned and smiled flatteringly.
Xu Jing put on his shoes and said, "I have chartered that room, don't rent it out." β
"Okay, okay." The boss agreed, "Do you have any other requirements?" β
He paused and said softly, "That girl on the corner of the second floor, remember to remind her to eat breakfast and don't let her go hungry." β-
Xu Jing returned to the mansion, and as soon as he entered the door, he heard an angry roar, "Stinky boy, you still know to come back!" β
Xu Ruxin casually threw over the pillow, and he easily raised his hand to catch it.
She was so angry that she wandered around the hall, looking for tools to take advantage of, "No home at night!" I'll keep you awake at night! As soon as he picked up a golf club, he looked up and saw Xu Jing's appearance at this time, and his lips trembled in fright, "Why did you make yourself like this?" β
His beard was unshaven, covered in dust, and he had a bluish black patch under his eyes, and a wound on his chin.
Xu Ruxin threw away the club, ran over distressedly, and touched his face, "My little ancestor, who are you fighting with?" β
"Auntie." He drooped his eyelashes and said in frustration, "Am I useless and annoying?" β
"Which bastard is talking nonsense in front of you? Look at the old lady who doesn't pick his skin! Xu Ruxin was furious - this is her nephew who was raised with a handful of and urine, looking at the whole of Shanghai, how can she find such a handsome young man.
Xu Jing's eyes were red: "Then why did the Xia family withdraw from their relatives?" Xia Minyuan came to tell me in person that she didn't want to marry a wreck like me. She also said...... also said that my aunt couldn't marry for the rest of her life, and she had a weird personality, so she taught me to look like this. Clothes come to stretch out their hands, and food comes to open their mouths. simply poured down the lintel of the Xu family. β
Xu Ruxin's eyes erupted with fire, and he said coldly: "Retreat? What kind of thing is his Xia family, dare to bully our Xu family! Our surname Xu Gao glanced at his daughter, and really regarded himself as a character? β
"Auntie." Xu Jing looked lost and whispered, "There are too many servants at home, and I am upset to look at it." I want to move out and live alone for a while. β
Xu Ruxin was reluctant, "Don't listen to their nonsense." You have been served by so many people since you were a child, how do you live? β
"But I can't swallow that." Xu Jing said stubbornly, "I want to prove that even if I am not the young master of the Xu family, I am no worse than them." β
"Okay." Xu Ruxin finally relented and sighed, "The western-style building on Huaihai Road is still empty, I'll ask people to clean up first, and then you move in." "When the child grows up, sooner or later he will have to be independent, and she can't keep him by her side forever.
However, the Xia family is really too deceitful, she has to ask for an understanding!
If Xia Minyuan really looks down on her nephew, will their Xu family still have the cheekiness to hold on to this daughter-in-law?
