Chapter 18: Do You Like Him?
She had made up her mind, and Father Shen didn't say more, "Well, if you don't want to do it, come home, Dad can afford to support you." β
He said naturally, and Shen's mother was extremely moved. "Husband, it's good to have you. Let's eat first, this is what my aunt at home taught me to do. β
Mrs. Kuo has been in office for so long that she has forgotten how to cook. Fortunately, there is still a foundation in the past.
Father Shen patted her hand, "You, how can you do so many things, what should you do when you are tired." β
"Isn't this trying to surprise you, it's all your fault, you spoiled me."
Shen Tingyu didn't speak again, lowered his head and ate the vegetables.
β¦β¦
After the dumplings were cooked, Jiang Mian personally served two bowls. There are also various dishes made by the maids on the table.
Ji Zhixiu was on the phone, and Jiang Mian glanced at it and set the dishes and chopsticks.
He explained two sentences in a low voice, and saw that Jiang Mian had arranged it. After hanging up the phone, he walked over and said, "It's time to eat." β
Jiang Mian held his head, his eyebrows were bright: "Taste it, is it delicious?" β
The dumplings she made were mini. Ji Zhixiu took a bite and chewed carefully: "It's delicious." β
Jiang Mian sighed and proposed, "Do you want to have some red wine to help the fun?" As soon as the words came out, she remembered the wine she drank last time, and her earlobes turned red uncontrollably.
Ji Zhixiu's eyes were dark, and he didn't object, "You can drink less." β
Jiang Mian happily opened a bottle of wine, poured a glass from each of them, and said in a soft voice: "Respect you, Ah Xiu, Happy New Year." β
It could be seen that she was really happy, and Ji Zhixiu raised her glass: "Happy New Year." β
He silently said in his heart: I wish there would be today every year, and there would be a future every year.
Jiang Mian obediently tasted it, and drank a few sips without drinking again. The craftsmanship of the chef here is also very good, Jiang Mian tasted a few bites and liked it very much, and ate a lot of dishes.
It's still early to finish eating. Ji Zhixiu gave all the servants a break.
Jiang Mian took out his mobile phone and looked at it, and received a lot of blessing messages. She replied one by one and sent a New Year's message to the teacher. also posted a circle of friends.
She suddenly remembered something, opened Ji Zhixiu's circle of friends and took a look, and as expected, it was blank.
In the group, several of Jiang Mian's roommates were already watching the Spring Festival Gala, and news shook from time to time.
[Ji Meinu]: How much money did you take for the New Year's Eve, the family?
[Susu wants to lose weight]: My mother said that I am older, so I will not give it this year. Crying .jpg
[Flowers bloom rich]: We will only leave relatives tomorrow, don't worry.
Jiang Mian smiled when he saw the news, Ji Lanruo was different from them. At the Chinese New Year's Eve, several of her brothers will inevitably send her red envelopes.
She put away her mobile phone, turned around and hugged Ji Zhixiu, who was answering the phone, and silently made a mouth-shape: "Mr. Ji, do I have any New Year's moneyββ"
On the other end was Fan Cheng's phone call, reporting the recent situation of the company. It's rare that he, an assistant, didn't have to follow Ji Zhixiu 24 hours a day, and went back to his hometown for two more days.
Ji Zhixiu looked at Jiang Mian with his eyes and motioned to her not to make trouble. Jiang Mian retracted his hand and collapsed on the sofa boringly, eating too much and holding on a little bit.
"Okay, that's it for now. I went back about the tenth year of junior high school. "Ji Zhi cultivated.
Fan Cheng nodded, "Okay, Mr. Ji, Happy New Year." β
Ji Zhixiu was in a very good mood, "Happy New Year, I transferred the New Year's money to you, remember to collect it." β
Fan Cheng was shocked, he was so old, do you still have a red envelope? He touched his head happily, hung up the phone and opened WeChat, obediently, eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight red envelopes, this year, I made a lot of money!
Putting away the phone, Ji Zhixiu sat on the sofa and pinched her cheek, "I'll send it to you tomorrow." β
When he said this, he understood Jiang Mian's lips just now.
Jiang Mian got up and propped his palms on his knees. Raised his little head and pecked lightly on his thin lips: "Then thank you Mr. Ji first, is there any arrangement next?" β
They had eaten early, and it was only four o'clock now.
Ji Zhixiu looked out the window and said to her, "Wait a little longer." β
Jiang Mian simply took out the tablet to chase the drama, she hasn't watched the two episodes of the new update, and she can't catch up with the hot searches on Weibo. Ji Zhixiu saw that she didn't pay attention to herself, her heart was sour, and her voice was calm: "Is it good-looking?" β
Jiang Mian didn't look at him, staring intently at the tablet. "It's good-looking, Song Xingjia's new drama."
"Who is Song Xingjia?"
"The actor, the dramas he plays are all good-looking, and he hasn't stepped on thunder. He is handsome, has no scandals in the industry, sings well, and has good business ability. β
Jiang Mian simply hung on him, the tablet was slid to the side, and he was full of interest to Ji Zhixiu Amway, his eyes were full of joy. Ji Zhixiu's eyes narrowed, and his voice was cold: "You like him?" β
"I like it." Jiang Mian nodded without hesitation.
The vinegar jar in Ji Zhixiu's heart was instantly overturned, he snorted coldly, and his thin lips were tightly pursed into a straight line.
Jiang Mian came back to his senses, and this master had a possessive attack. She looked up and explained, "I adore him, admire him, not like him, you know?" β
How can I say it, people like Song Xingjia are powerful actors with both ability and political integrity in her opinion. It is also what she has always hoped to achieve.
"If you don't understand, you can explain it well." Ji Zhixiu picked up Jiang Mian and walked to the second floor, she was petite, and nestled in his arms looked particularly pitiful.
Jiang Mian understands in seconds, although she doesn't reject double sports with Ji Zhixiu, and even likes it very much, but she will also be tired, okay! Jiang Mian sighed and gave up on himself and buried himself in his arms.
Ji Zhixiu took care of Jiang Mian's feelings in the end, except for not really eating it in his mouth, he did everything else he could. After it was over, Jiang Mian didn't want to move a tired finger, so Ji Zhixiu personally bathed her and changed her clothes.
Seeing that it was getting dark outside, Ji Zhixiu coaxed her: "Go out and take a walk." β
Jiang Mian was still annoyed, thinking that this man had just made all kinds of teasing and finally refused to give it, she didn't turn her face away: "Don't go." β
Ji Zhixiu kissed her on the cheek and whispered, "There's a swing on the balcony, go take a look?" β
Jiang Mian pulled the quilt to cover his face, "I can't say anything." β
Ji Zhixiu didn't say much more, lifted the thin quilt with his big palm, revealing Jiang Mian's delicate body, and then lifted his hands and steadily picked up the person and walked to the balcony.
The balcony did have a big swing big enough for two people. Jiang Mian was still angry, but he forgot about it when he saw this swing.
The big swing is dressed very beautifully, with feathers and flowers wrapped around it, and two pillows are placed, which is solid wood. Jiang Mian's eyes lit up, and he got down from him and sat down, Ji Zhixiu leaned on the balcony with a relaxed posture.
From this side, you can see the river view, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and the breeze is blowing. Ji Zhixiu called her: "Sleep." β
Jiang Mian looked up: "Huh? β
"Look up."
With this sound of raising his head, brilliant fireworks suddenly rose high on the bank of the river, exploded in the air, and slowly dissipated into invisibility. Jiang Mian was stunned, and couldn't help but get up and lie on the balcony, wanting to see closer.
Fireworks bloom overhead, like a carnival. Jiang Mian raised his snow-white neck, and his eyes couldn't hide the amazement.
At the same time, some residents living in the neighborhood couldn't help but poke their heads out to watch when they heard the movement. The person who walks stops, the person who does the work puts down the action, and the person who lies in bed opens the window......
Pink fireworks light up the night, dotted with stars, beautiful like a picture. Jiang Mian smiled and turned his head to look at Ji Zhixiu: "It's so beautiful." β
The voice was drowned out by fireworks, but Ji Zhixiu still caught the shape of her lips.
The corners of his lips curled up.
A dream that I wanted to realize for her a long time ago finally came true today.
When Ji Zhixiu was fifteen years old, he was taken to Jiangnan Water Town by his mother. That time was a very painful time for his mother and even Ji Zhixiu.
Until, Ji Zhixiu met ten-year-old Jiang Mian.
Jiang Mian didn't understand why the new tenant next door would always hear the sound of beating children at night. She asked her grandmother quietly, and her grandmother hugged Xiao Jiangmian tightly and whispered: "This is other people's housework, we can't take care of it." If you feel sorry for this child, you can often play with him in the future. In this way, he will not be alone. β
Jiang Mian nodded. But the next yard was locked all day long, and she couldn't see the child. Later, Jiang Mian went around to the back of the alley. She gently pushed open the kitchen window next door, and sure enough, it was unlocked, and through the window she saw a little boy standing in the yard.
There is no wave or joy in the eyebrows and eyes, and the young age is already the appearance of upside-down beings. It's just that two bloody marks on the face spoil the beauty.
He seemed to feel something, and his eyes moved to the window, and he unexpectedly met the pair of watery eyes. Both of them were shocked, Jiang Mian hesitated for a moment, and lowered his voice softly and glutinously: "Brother, do you hurt?" β
Does it hurt? Of course he hurts. But he knew that he could only provide his mother with this to vent the grievances and pain in his heart. Who would have thought that his father would cheat on his mother behind his mother's back, and even have an illegitimate child?
He sneered and looked at the girl with the princess's head tied up, "Get out." β
He scared Jiang Mian away as he wished.
Jiang Mian came home and cried fiercely, such a beautiful little brother was so fierce. Grandma hugged her and screamed for a long time before Jiang Mian burst into tears and laughed.
Jiang Mian healed the scar and forgot the pain, and said that he didn't care about this person anymore. At night, he heard the sound of whipping and scolding, and shrunk into his grandmother's arms, and the next day he stood behind the window again.
She plucked up her courage: "Brother, I brought you medicine, can you spray a little?" β
Ji Zhixiu, who had to stand in the courtyard every day and wait for his father to pick him up, did not wait for his father, waited for the little angel sent to him by God.
Jiang Mian would secretly lie behind the window every day to watch Ji Zhixiu. Even if you don't get a response, you can talk to yourself for most of the day.
She never asked Ji Zhixiu's name or her name, nor did she say her name. Until one day, my grandmother couldn't find Jiang Mian to eat, and shouted everywhere.
Jiang Mian immediately straightened up, "Brother, I'm leaving, I'll come back to you later." β
That was the only time Ji Zhixiu remembered the name from her grandmother, "Mianmian".
The little girl once told him that she wanted to see a fireworks in the prosperous world. The young Ji Zhixiu was expressionless and silently remembered it in his heart.
Later, Ji Zhixiu returned to Ji's house.
No one knows how long Ji Zhixiu has been looking for Jiang Mian later.
No one knew that he saw the ecstasy in Jiang Mian's heart at the cocktail party, and that familiarity was undoubtedly believed after investigation.
This time, you can't be mistaken.
Ji Zhixiu hugged Jiang Mian from behind, even if he was the only one who remembered this memory, he would never let go of Jiang Mian.
