52. Chapter 51
Because he went to someone else's house to work as a tutor, Ji Tang was embarrassed to wear his "extremely safe" local cotton clothes to swagger through the market. She took out the clothes given by Sister Jin and changed them, shortened her braids, tied them into two well-behaved twists, and washed her hands and face before going out.
As soon as she stepped out of the small hotel, she saw a rather familiar car, and she couldn't help but glance at it a few more times.
Peng Ruhai poked out a fat head from the car and stared at her for a long time before hesitating: "Miss Ji? It's still a question.
Isn't it just a change of clothes, so you won't be unrecognizable, right? Ji Tang nodded.
"Ahem, how nice it would be for you to dress like this earlier. I almost didn't even recognize it. Peng Ruhai got up and pulled the car door for her, and said flatteringly, "Sanshao specially told me to come and pick you up." Originally, he was going to come in person, but there was a delay in some things. β
His attitude was so diligent that Ji Tang was a little uncomfortable, and quickly opened the topic, "The child I want to teach, who are the three young people?" Yesterday, Xu Jing refused to say it explicitly, so she had to use Peng Ruhai's words. But Peng Ruhai is also an old man, and only replied vaguely: "You'll know when you arrive." β
Ji Tang had no choice, so he sat patiently until Huaihai Road.
This is the affluent area of Shanghai, lined with exquisite and beautiful Western-style mansions, which is really a world away from the area where she used to live. Ji Tang had to admire Xu Jing's luck in reincarnation, except for the Xianxia copy, which was a little miserable, in other tasks, it was all at the top of the pyramid of the upper class.
also has the aura of the protagonist, why is the gap so big!
The snow-white gate retreated, and Peng Ruhai drove the car into the small garden and stopped at the fountain.
"Miss Ji, you can go in by yourself, I won't send it." He said respectfully.
Ji Tang bowed: "Okay." β
She pushed open the door and entered a bright and tidy lobby, with a mix of Chinese and Western decoration styles, if you don't control it well, you will become a vassal and elegant nouveau riche if you are not careful. The hall in front of you looks casual and warm, with a European-style classical floor-to-ceiling clock and a blue and white porcelain vase with plum blossoms complementing each other.
No one came out to greet her, she looked at the staircase and said loudly: "Hello, I am the tutor who came to class today, my surname is Ji." Is anyone there, please? β
A sound of slow footsteps sounded from upstairs, and Ji Tang hurriedly combed the tail of his hair twice with his fingers, waiting for the battle.
A young man, dressed in a beige sweater, white shirt and plaid trousers, yawned, walked halfway, lay on the handrail of the stairs, and looked at her with a smile, like a cat that had succeeded in stealing.
"Xu ...... Mr. Xu. Ji Tang blinked, "You're here too?" β
"This is my home." Xu Jing held his chin, and the corners of his lips were slightly hooked.
She raised her eyebrows: "Then the child I want to teach is ......"
He pointed to his face and smiled innocently.
"I heard that Mr. Xu came back from abroad, didn't he participate in the school dance and learn ballroom dancing?"
Xu Jing's face did not change and his heart did not beat: "I haven't learned." β
There are such brazen people in the world!
Ji Tang couldn't help but laugh, when did he become so naΓ―ve, "Then may I ask Mr. Xu, where do you want to start learning?" β
"I will learn what you teach." Xu Jing walked downstairs, grabbed her hand, bent down and made a gesture of please-
Xia Minyuan came out of the hospital and was dizzy from the bright sunlight. She leaned against the wall, and her pink lace skirt rubbed a layer of plaster. A nurse next to him asked with concern, "Miss, what's wrong with you, are you okay?" She shook her hand and smiled reluctantly, "It's okay." β
Bai Zifan's angry scolding still echoed in his ears. He lost a front tooth, his right eye was high and swollen, and his originally handsome face looked extremely hideous and terrifying. He also lost his job at the newspaper. The editor-in-chief personally came up, sealed the red envelope, and said a lot of meaningful words, telling him to be careful about walking at night and not to offend people.
Bai Zifan was so angry that she smashed the flower basket and fruits, and one of the apples hit her knee, causing her to become bruised and swollen.
But he didn't seem to see her painful expression at all, and only blindly scolded Xu Jing's shamelessness, and claimed to write an article to expose all the ugly things about the Xu family's manipulation of the financial world and collusion with senior government officials.
"Min Yuan, Min Yuan, can you help me get close to Xu Jing and collect evidence?" He took her hand and pleaded with her.
She was only frightened, and she took a step back. What kind of behemoth the Xu family is, Bai Zifan may not know, but she has listened to her parents play it over and over again since she was a child, and she knows that it is definitely not what she or Bai Zifan, or even the Xia family can afford. At that moment, she seemed to sober up a lot, and began to feel scared of her behavior.
She didn't remember how she got out of the ward, and she didn't remember how she was perfunctory Bai Zifan. Oh, perfunctory, I didn't expect that one day, she would actually use the word perfunctory to describe her conversation with Bai Zifan?
Xia Minyuan called a rickshaw.
"Miss, where are you going?"
She was silent for a long time, until the rickshaw driver asked again and again, and then said softly: "Huaihai Road." β
At the dinner table this morning, her mother specially told her that Xu Jing moved to a bungalow on Huaihai Road alone, and without Xu Ruxin's discipline, it was a good time for the two to get close, so that she could go out to play with more than three less-
Xu Jing pulled out the dusty black film from the drawer and asked her, "Which one do you like to listen to?" β
Ji Tang sat on the sofa, picked up the cup, and took a sip of water, "You pick." β
He pulled out the top one and snapped it into the gramophone. Soothing music sounds, creaking and rattling, accompanied
Xu Jing's eyes slowly became extremely soft.
"If it weren't for you......" she was a little surprised that he would choose this song, but she was a little moved when she thought about it.
He followed softly: "How do you live." After a pause, he smiled and said, "This beautiful young lady, could you please enjoy your face and dance?" Ji Tang sneered, handed his hand to him, learned the tone of the old movie, and replied in English: "It's an honor." β
He put his arm around her waist and did a standard international dance stance.
"Mr. Xu is a quick learner." She quipped.
He replied with a straight face: "I'm very talented. β
This song is actually not suitable for ballroom dancing, and it is difficult for novices to step on the dance node. But one of the two of them really knows, and the other pretends not to understand, and after two laps, there is no condensation, and the tacit understanding is incomparable. If there is a third person present, they will definitely not be regarded as dance partners for the first time, but lovers who have been running in for many years.
Ji Tang happened to be wearing a red dress today, with a fluttering skirt, like a gorgeous butterfly. Xu Jing hugged her slender waist and sniffed the faint fragrance in her hair, and couldn't help but feel ape, and the rhythm slowed down. Ji Tang realized his mistake, raised his face proudly, and his provocative little eyes seemed to say "I won".
Xu Jing almost couldn't hold back the kiss, her head lowered, and her lips crossed her ears like a dragonfly. He bit her ear, as if whispering ambiguously: "Miss Ji, did I tell you that you are beautiful today?" β
Ji Tang's cheeks were flushed, like a good rouge, and even his eyelids were hot, which made him even more moving, "Mr. Xu, do you say that to every girl?" β
"It's a great injustice, I've never told anyone about it." He moved closer, his chest fluttering slightly with laughter, "But I'm glad you say that." This shows that Miss Ji doesn't hate me too much, right? β
She rotated her right foot as the axis, and when she returned to his arms, she deliberately pulled the distance a little wider, and gasped softly: "If you are so attentive to every woman you know, I don't think anyone will hate you, right?" β
"I told you, it's just you." Xu Jing took a step back, pulled out the phonograph's stylus, leaned against the mahogany chest of drawers, his forehead was slightly dripping with fine sweat, stared at her with a smile, and at the moment when he suddenly quieted down, he repeated again, "It's just you." β
These three words reverberated back and forth in the vast living room, as if they were emphasized over and over again.
Ji Tang let go of his hand, the tip of his sweaty nose was steaming, and even his eyes were hot, "I can understand that you are pursuing me?" β
"What's not to do?" He shrugged, "Isn't it obvious that I'm looking?" β
She stared at it for a moment and said, "I think you should take a shower and cool down." β
Xu Jing unbuttoned the second button of his shirt, fanned the wind, and said meaningfully: "You're right, I'm very hot." He laughed and went upstairs, as if he suddenly remembered something, and childishly leaned on the fence on the second floor, folded his hands to support his chin, and said, "The second room on the right hand side is for you, Mr. Ji." β
Ji Tang glared at him angrily.
What is a live-in tutor with room and board included? It was clear that he dug a pit for her to jump again.
She grabbed the handle and pushed the door open. The qiΔ in front of her was exactly what she imagined of "home" - a beautiful windowsill facing the garden, and the curtains were light beige, and they were pulled into a beautiful shape, like two dangling flowers hanging in front of the window. The solid wood bed, fluffy pillows, and large wardrobe were opened and filled with all kinds of dresses and cheongsams.
She even wondered if he had moved home with all the clothes in the department store that matched her size.
From a cloak and ermine fur to a hairpin for earrings.
Pull open the drawer and fill it with a drawer full of new shoes, the heel of which is no more than two inches. All of them were soaked in white vinegar, soaked in the position of grinding the feet to soften, and then dried until the smell dissipated, and then put them in.
He is really not a careful person, he is always lost, no matter how many lives he spends, he can't fry a poached egg. But only for her, there is really nothing to say. Ji Tang remembered that he once said, "I can't even bear you to walk, how can I be willing to let you wear high heels", and his eyes turned red in an instant.
"Ding Dong-" At this moment, the electric bell at the door suddenly rang.
She faintly heard Peng Ruhai call out "Miss Xia" in surprise.
