Chapter 75: The Wounded Lion
At this moment, Jingzhi didn't think about what to say next.
In fact, after the start of the new semester, with her desperate efforts, the work went smoothly and did not encounter any too difficult troubles.
If I have to say that I have encountered any trouble at work recently, it is that Jingzhi was unexpectedly a minute late when she was teaching students recently.
"That was an unexpected thing! I really don't want to talk to anyone about it! Jingzhi sighed in her heart.
Luckily, Florence came over to help Jingzhi out of the siege.
She put her hair up today, and she looked much more energetic than before.
When she saw Jason, she was even more happy, and said to him a little excitedly: "Jason, this is orange juice for the two of you!" ”
"Thank you!" After saying that, Jason nodded slightly in thanks.
Florence stood there, wanting to say a few more words to Jason, but found that his attention was all on Jingzhi, so he had to give up.
She put two glasses of freshly squeezed orange juice on the table, one near Jason and the other near Jingzhi, and said simply, "Enjoy, two!" ”
At this time, Jason and Jingzhi said in unison, "Thank you!" ”
With that, Jingzhi and Jason looked at each other and smiled, which made Florence feel embarrassed, and immediately turned away.
After Florence left, Jason didn't touch the glass filled with orange juice in front of him.
He had been sitting upright, patiently waiting for Jingzhi to taste a few sips of orange juice, and when he saw Jingzhi smile with joy because of the good taste of orange juice, his body relaxed a little, and his slightly furrowed brow just now slowly relaxed, making him look less serious and amiable.
"Why don't you taste it?" Jingzhi raised her head and looked at the guest opposite who hadn't touched the orange juice in front of him at all, and wondered, "Didn't you suggest I order this orange juice?" Say what is nutritious......"
Hearing Jingzhi's words, Jason was like a manipulated robot, grabbed the glass on the table, brought it to his mouth, drank a few big sips, and then put it down, muttering in his mouth: "It tastes really good!" ”
"That's it!" Jingzhi smiled and said, "Your suggestion is quite good! ”
"Hehe," Jason said with a smile and shrugging his shoulders, then immediately becoming serious, "you better tell me what trouble you've been in lately."
Perhaps, just like I suggest you drink orange juice, what other good advice can I give you! ”
To be honest, Jingzhi doesn't want to talk too much about her own work. Especially with Jason, the opposite sex she cares about the most.
In her opinion, being late is not a glorious thing.
She didn't want to destroy Jason's image and let him know that he was not very punctual, so she wanted to say something casually to prevaricate.
"Actually...... Nothing too important...... And...... It has nothing to do with you.
Besides, my job is ...... yours It's not the same...... There's nothing to tell you about......"
Before Jingzhi could finish speaking, Jason stretched out a hand and made a gesture, interrupting her very rudely.
Jingzhi's inadvertent words seemed to be sporadic sparks, igniting not only Jason's admiration for her, but a raging anger against her.
Jason suddenly got up from his seat, his hands pinched at his waist, his head bowed, and paced back and forth around the table.
The guests at the surrounding tables cast strange glances, making Jingzhi suddenly realize that the few words she had just said had caused a big disaster.
Jingzhi first felt strange because of Jason's anger.
But after thinking about it, she quickly found a reasonable explanation, and comforted herself in her heart:
"He's also well-intentioned and always worried about my affairs.
If I care so much about him, why should I refuse him thousands of miles away!
Why can't I tell him about this disgraceful thing about myself?
Will he laugh at me when he hears this? Or will they laugh at me?
No, no, he's not like that!
He will only comfort me and give me some advice, which may not be useful at all, or he may hit the nail on the head, so I can't say.
Even if it wasn't sweet words that came out of his mouth, just some painless advice, why couldn't I be patient enough to listen to him casually.
He's a very serious person, a guy who breaks the casserole and asks the question, and if I don't tell him things clearly, he'll think I'm despising him and disrespecting him!
No wonder he was so angry......
"You...... Other...... Don't be angry, I ...... I didn't mean that......" Jingzhi raised her head and looked at Jason pitifully, finding that his brows were furrowed even more than before, which made Jingzhi feel furious.
Jingzhi knew that she had said something she shouldn't have said, and she had to apologize immediately.
She stood up, shifted two steps, and stood in front of Jason.
This morning, she was standing in front of Chris like this, she didn't feel for Chris, she just treated him as a friend, so she instinctively ran away immediately.
Now, at this moment, she was standing in front of her beloved, she didn't want to run away, she just wanted to get closer, she wanted to get into Jason's heart.
At this time, Jason pinched his waist with both hands, lowered his head, and looked in a trance, looking like he had been wronged but had no way to argue.
Seeing Jason like this, Jingzhi began to panic in her heart.
She cautiously moved half an inch forward, moved a little closer to Jason, and whispered apologetically to him, "Don't do this, I apologize to you." ”
"Apologize to me?" Jason gasped as he spoke, apparently struggling to suppress the anger he had been hoarding for so long to keep the flames from coming out of his mouth.
"Yes, I ...... I apologize to you......" After speaking, Jingzhi put her hands on her chest and gently pressed them to the position of her heart, trying to keep her pounding heart from stopping instantly due to overwork.
She took a deep breath and finally mustered up the courage to meet Jason's eyes that were burning with anger, but she immediately regretted doing so, because Jason's angry gaze made Jingzhi shudder for a moment.
She immediately took a half-step back, lowered her head slightly, and stopped looking Jason in the eye so that she would have the courage to finish the next sentence: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so casual with you...... You care about me, but I ......"
Before Jingzhi could finish speaking, Jason interrupted her, and said angrily and angrily, "You don't have to apologize to me......
You didn't say anything wrong, and you don't have to apologize to me at all......
You're right, your business really has nothing to do with me......
We've only met once before, right?
Today is the second time we have met, and we only met by chance......
Yes, you're right, you can't be more right......
Your business has nothing to do with me......
Yes, you're right, you...... Female Ph.D. ...... at Mutas University Your job is really different from my job!
Yes, yes, it's different!
So...... So......
You're right, we really don't have much to say.
Count me as self-inflicted...... Nothing to do......"
Jason's words were like countless bullets, one by one into Jingzhi's heart that was beating wildly, making her worry that her heart would stop instantly because it was beating too fast, and at the same time, she also had to worry about whether this heart could withstand this sudden and violent attack.
Fortunately, Jingzhi listened to Jason's words, but she was not angry at all, but very heartbroken.
Jason's words made Jingzhi really feel that her "nonsense" just now not only made Jason very angry, but also made him feel very sad: she inadvertently hurt his self-esteem.
Jingzhi knew that at this time, a sincere apology was probably just a drop in the bucket, and it couldn't make Jason calm at all.
In Jingzhi's view, Jason is like a proud lion, although he does not wear a crown, he has the pride of a king, and does not allow anyone to despise him at any time and snub him; And now, the lion was hit by an arrow, and it was none other than herself who hurt him.
"He was a man of great pride...... Perhaps, that's why I love him? Or maybe it's one of the reasons! Jingzhi said to herself in her heart.
"Huh......" Jingzhi took a deep breath, shook her head helplessly, and said, "Since this is the case, I have no choice but to tell you about my troubles."
But please listen to it and don't tell anyone else.
I don't want the third one to know about this kind of mess. ”
After speaking, Jingzhi tilted her head and secretly glanced at Jason, and found that although he had a straight face, he had been listening to himself with his ears pricked up, so he continued "unashamedly", "Of course, this is not something that can be explained clearly in one sentence or two, you have to talk about it for a while, and it is not a way to always stand here......"
Before Jingzhi could finish speaking, Jason had already walked behind her, gently moved the chair she had just sat on, and made a gesture for her to sit down quickly.
