Chapter 44: Lucky Numbers
"Creative?" Jingzhi frowned slightly, "You mean "The Old Lady's Begging"? β
"Okay......" Jason put away his smile, "I'll admit that 'The Old Lady's Beggar' is indeed a hundred and eight thousand miles away from 'The Maiden's Prayer'......"
"......" Jingzhi didn't continue to speak, just shook her head helplessly.
Jason brought the teacup to his lips, took a sip of tea, and looked at Jingzhi quietly.
After a minute of silence, Jingzhi said calmly, "But there are two sides to everything. β
"Well," Jason nodded earnestly, "I couldn't agree more......"
"The first time I performed on stage in my life, although it ended in failure, it unexpectedly solved the conflict between me and my mother, and it can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."
"Oh? It turns out that the fuse was 'Old Lady's Begging'? Jason asked curiously.
"Yes. It was the song "The Old Lady's Begging" that made my mother realize that I didn't have much musical talent and my ability to perform on stage was very poor. β
"Didn't you refute it?" Jason's curiosity never stopped, "You can tell her that you just can't remember the score.
If you look at the sheet music, you can also perform very well! β
"No, Mom can think like that, it's too late for me to be happy!" Jingzhi snickered, "Although that performance made me lose face and everyone talked about my performance, this situation didn't last long.
Half a month later, I won the first prize in the National Mathematics Olympiad for Primary School Students!
Finally, you can 'shame before blood'! β
"Haha!" Jason laughed happily, "You're a 'girl's counterattack'!" β
"Sort of! Although the process was very tortuous, the result was not satisfactory! Jingzhi smiled slightly, "Later, I told my mother that my dream is to become a 'scientist' and playing the piano is just my hobby.
At that time, my mother also realized that my favorite subject was 'mathematics', not 'music'.
In the end, she had to compromise and respect my choice. β
"What a blessing in disguise!" Jason couldn't help but sigh, "It's a blessing to lose your horse!" β
"You're right," Jingzhi looked at Jason's eyes that took away her soul, "you really should send a postcard to your mother!"
It was because of her compromise that I became a science student and came to Mutas University to study for a doctorate, so that I can sit here today and meet you, the guest who 'shared a table' with me......"
After listening to Jingzhi's words, Jason said in a very sincere tone: "I will definitely send a postcard to my aunt!" Thank you so much, thank her! β
"......" Before Jingzhi could speak, Su Yi walked over and greeted Jason, "Is there anything else you need?" JasonοΌ β
Jason didn't reply immediately, but leaned forward and whispered to Jingzhi, "Do you want to order anything more?" β
Jingzhi thought for half a minute, looked at her watch, stretched her neck forward, and whispered to Jason, "I don't need to order anything more."
It's almost five o'clock in the afternoon.
I'll have to go to the office in a moment.
I'm not done with my task for today......"
"And what are you going to eat for the night?" Jason asked with concern.
"I don't know...... Go to the nearby supermarket and grab a sandwich to take home.
It's still early and I'm not hungry at all. β
"Sandwiches?" Jason thought for two seconds and then said, "I know there's a shop that sells sandwiches that are very, very delicious!"
I'll take you! β
"Good!" Jingzhi replied without thinking.
The two men kept whispering, completely overwhelming Sue, who was standing on the sidelines.
She laughed and said, "You guys...... Have you discussed it? β
Seeing Su Yi's helpless expression, Jason stood up, owed a debt, and said to her apologetically: "I'm sorry, Sister Su Yi, I think, we don't need anything now."
Sorry to bother you for so long......"
Jason's words and deeds not only express his deep apologies to Sue, but also show his great respect for Sue.
"It's okay...... Sue said with a smile, "since you don't need anything, I'll go first." As she spoke, she glanced at Jason meaningfully, "If there's anything, just call me at any time." β
"I will! Thank you, Sister Sue! Jason said very respectfully.
From the tone in which Jason spoke to Sue, Jingzhi could easily tell that Jason and his sister Sue were very close.
However, she didn't plan to break the casserole right now, because Jason sat down immediately after Sue left and asked her, "When are you going to leave here and go buy sandwiches?" β
At this time, Jingzhi looked out the window and found that the sky had become dark, and the sun was ready to go home from work.
The autumn wind gently blows the golden fallen leaves on the ground, which seems to warn pedestrians on the road to quickly hide back indoors and not linger on the side of the road!
Seeing such a scene, Jingzhi couldn't help but shudder, and said excitedly: "Let's go now!" β
Jason saw Jingzhi's expression of "returning to the heart like an arrow", and said without hesitation: "Okay! β
The two of them went to the front desk together to pay the bill.
After that, they left Ruyiju one after the other.
Jason is on the left, Jingzhi is on the right, and the two of them are walking side by side on the road.
Jingzhi is 1.68 meters tall, and when she wears high-heeled boots, she is slightly taller than Jason's shoulders.
Jingzhi guessed that Jason should be at least twenty centimeters taller than herself.
"You ......" Jingzhi hesitated, but still couldn't control her curiosity, and asked Jason shyly, "How tall is it?" β
"Me?" As he spoke, Jason gently touched the back of his head with his hand, "One hundred and eighty-nine centimeters...... What's wrong? β
"Nothing, just asking." Jingzhi smiled implicitly, quickly changed the topic, and asked, "How long will it take to get there?" β
"Not far," Jason smiled as well, "just ahead." β
The cold wind slapped Jingzhi's face fiercely, making her shiver.
At this time, Jason stopped, turned around, took off the scarf around him, and said softly to Jingzhi, "Put on my scarf......"
"I'm ......" Jingzhi also stopped, standing in place, and before she could spit out the next word from her mouth, Jason had already reached over and gently covered her shoulder with a scarf.
Seeing that Jingzhi didn't move, Jason had to patiently help Jingzhi tie the scarf.
He tied a neat knot on her chest, making sure no cold wind was pouring through her collar.
This long camel scarf was originally worn by Jason, with the light brown cashmere coat he wore on his upper body.
Now, this scarf has become Jingzhi's "personal guard" against the cold wind!
"Thank you......" Jingzhi said implicitly.
Ever since the moment Jason had a scarf in his hand and draped it over Jingzhi's shoulders, Jingzhi had been staring at him intently.
At this moment, Jingzhi can greedily admire Jason's incomparably delicate facial features up close.
She had an urge to count Jason's blonde eyelashes at once, so she could think of it as her lucky number.
Jingzhi looked at Jason so "rudely" up close, and he didn't even notice it.
Jason was very focused, and he was using his incredibly nimble fingers to carefully sort out the scarf that covered Jingzhi's neckline, making sure that no cold wind could pour into her neckline with impunity.
