Xu Miaomiao paused for a moment, then raised her eyes to look at Ding Xi, her red lips curved, "Hey, you changed jobs so soon? Where did you jump?"
Ding Xi said the name of a company, which was a Fortune 500 Internet company, with a very proud tone.
Her Ji Huai family is not bad.
"Has the annual salary doubled?" Xu Miaomiao took a slow sip of lemonade.
Don't call her realistic. Some men cannot use their own conditions to deceive women, so they use sacred love as an excuse and have the ability to provide physical conditions.
"I didn't ask. He can continue to accumulate experience and improve his skills. If he is not satisfied with the salary, he will continue to change jobs." Ding Xi answered.
"It's true that you can gain experience in it, and your resume will look very good later." Ji Huai's move was beyond her expectation.
After all, the other party didn't act so enterprising before. Instead, he seemed to have put all his energy into finding a "rich girl" and wanted to use marriage to achieve a class leap.
"He has been working on his skills recently, and then went to resume and interview, that's why he is so busy. Besides, he is only 25 years old and has just started." Ding Xi has great confidence in Ji Huai, "I believe in him."
Xu Miaomiao picked up her bag and stood up, "It's useless to say it. Wait until he does it."
"Ji Huai is working hard to fulfill all the promises he made." Ding Xi also stood up and was very protective.
Xu Miaomiao stopped in front of the elevator, raised her hand to do a delicate manicure, lightly tapped her forehead with her index finger, and smiled charmingly, "You are such an innocent little fool."
When she walked into the elevator, she said something random: "It's rare, so just believe him."
…
What's so rare
She grew up in a native family with loving parents. She had the most innocent campus romance, but she has a thorough understanding of love and human nature. What kind of life is a pair of people? That's something that goes against the laws of human nature, it's just about everyone getting what they need.
Ding Xi's parents divorced when she was young, and she does have low self-esteem and sensitivity, but she also had a rich material life along the way. With her grandma's love, she also paved the way for her before she died. Even if her parents didn't care, she could study well and have a place to live.
Just because the other person still believes in love so simply and believes in others with the greatest goodwill, it shows that life is still kind to her, and she has love and faith in her heart.
But she felt that Ji Huai was really not a good man.
When Ding Xi heard what she said, he was silent for a while and whispered, "You have to believe it."
She knew what Xu Miaomiao meant, and the other party was also afraid that she would be unkind to others. But falling in love with Ji Huai depends on her own feelings.
Since you choose to believe, you must believe it seriously.
"It's time to eat!"
"Come on, come on!"
"It smells so good."
…
Lu Jiaming walked out of the kitchen, holding a plate of hairy crabs in his hand, his voice rising a notch. Putting down the hairy crab, he rubbed his hands expectantly and reached out to grab a piece of fried squid. When he stuffed it into his mouth, he was so hot that he kept sucking in air, which looked particularly funny.
"Hot, hot, hot." He fanned his mouth and could taste the taste, giving Ji Huai a thumbs up, "Delicious!"
"Take it easy." Ji Huai also put the Kung Pao Chicken and Steamed Grouper on the table.
Today's dinner was very sumptuous. He cooked ten dishes in total, including six hard dishes, steamed grouper, steamed hairy crabs, stir-fried squid, kung pao chicken, braised pork ribs...
He spent thousands of dollars just buying ingredients, and he spent a lot of money.
"rich!"
"Gotta get some beers."
…
Wang Sen and Fatty Zhang also sat down, opened beers, and handed them to them one by one.
"Drink one." Lu Jiaming gnawed on the ribs in his hand, discarded the bones and picked up the opened beer, "Here, let's take one to celebrate Ji Huai's successful job change."
"Go one."
"Come."
…
Ji Huai didn't know how to drink, nor did he reject it, so he took a few sips.
The company they worked for previously had too little money and too many things to do, and it was difficult to raise their salary. Lu Jiaming and the others had always wanted to leave. He had not originally had this idea. He was indeed in his comfort zone and his thoughts were constrained. With Ding Xi's appearance, his original goal had always been It is to capture her before she graduates, and to trap her before she goes out into society.
He can read and take exams, and now has the habit of reading, but he has a fixed mind and does not have the ability to delve into the field. For interviews, he has to communicate face to face. He is taciturn and his communication skills are not enough to impress the other party.
To put it bluntly, his academic qualifications and abilities did not match, so he had been fishing in troubled waters in his original position. He thought that this annual salary was not bad, so he would mess around first and then save some money.
Lu Jiaming and Fatty Zhang are both locals. Fatty Zhang's cousin is also a young and talented person who has successfully started his own business. He has a large network of connections. This recruitment news is the result of the other party.
Because it is a top-ranked Internet company with high educational requirements, none of the three of them met the standards. In this life, they had a good relationship, and Fatty Zhang took the initiative to give him the opportunity.
He had improved his skills some time ago and had long planned to change jobs. This time he seized the opportunity and successfully changed jobs, doubling his salary.
"The companies I found before are also good. I sent the recruitment information to your mailbox." Ji Huai put down the bottle of wine and said to them.
Although he knew that Fatty Zhang would take several people to change jobs at the end of the year, he couldn't completely rely on them, and he was making plans of his own.
"I also want to try to change jobs as soon as possible. This place is really not meant for people." After Lu Jiaming finished speaking, he looked at Ji Huai, "Are you going to move out?"
This is a company-subsidized employee apartment, and you have to move out when you resign.
When I talk about this, the food no longer tastes good. They have all been raised by Ji Huai to be naughty recently. If Ji Huai leaves, won't they have to eat takeout again? Life is too miserable, right
"The company will no longer rent this place as an employee dormitory in the middle of the year. The landlord asked me to stay." Ji Huai replied.
Although it is a company dormitory, it is also rented in a private residence. They live in it, the company subsidizes part of it, and they pay a small part themselves.
The company is not a big company, and the building is not full of employees of their company. If he quits, the landlord will have to rent it to someone else again.
Lu Jiaming felt relieved, "I will also try to change jobs and write my resume after dinner."
"Isn't it? You haven't written your resume yet?" Wang Sen was speechless.
"Write it tonight." Lu Jiaming grabbed another piece of ribs and gnawed on it.
"Lu Jiaming, you can't do it." Fatty Zhang complained about him.
…
A few people drank and joked, and from time to time they would insult each other and brag.
Ji Huai picked up the wine glass and took another sip. It felt a little bitter in his mouth, but he drank it anyway.
He used to dislike this kind of life very much and thought it was useless to socialize. I look down upon this group of people and am too lazy to get together with them, thinking it is a waste of time.
But now think about it, where is the waste of time? Isn’t some time just for “wasting”
In the middle of the month, Ji Huai invited Ding Xi to travel around the weekend.
When Xu Miaomiao learned about it, she sighed repeatedly, "I just had a better impression of him, but he can't bear it?"
She just wanted to look away, it was so difficult.
"He said I was too bored staying at school, and I got sick again recently. He wanted to take me out for a walk to relax." Ding Xi was quite happy, with a smile on her face when she spoke.
"I don't believe it, you better be mentally prepared, he can't hide his tail." Xu Miaomiao played with the bear given to her by her junior.
She knew that Ji Huai had no good intentions, and after giving in his time and energy, he began to ask for rewards.
Smart scumbag!
"I also want to go out for a walk and go shopping." Ding Xi didn't think much, opened the suitcase, opened the closet, and started looking for clothes to bring with him.
"Are you really going?" Seeing her cleaning up, Xu Miaomiao put down the bear and looked at her with a more serious expression.
"Yeah, I don't have class on Friday afternoon, so we'll take the high-speed rail in the evening and go play the next day." Ding Xi said, putting a skirt in.
Xu Miaomiao could use her toes to think of Ji Huai's intentions. The last time I went to play, the time was not ripe and I didn't succeed. This time I went, the time was ripe and I will definitely succeed.
She would not let Ji Huai's conspiracy succeed, and said categorically, "I tell you clearly, Ji Huai will not let you go."
Ding Xi stood up, thought for a while, and pursed his lips, "I didn't think too much, just let it take its course."
Xu Miaomiao: "You are crazy and your principles are gone."
The issue that the other party was so concerned about before is now so indifferent, and he still lets it take its course? I'm afraid I've forgotten what happened when I came back last time and was frightened.
Ding Xi couldn't explain to her. Maybe it was because of her belief in Ji Huai or her belief in their relationship that she still wanted to go with him.
She wasn't in a hurry, but Xu Miaomiao was. Seeing that Ding Xi really wanted to go and was looking forward to going, she didn't say much because she really had no right to stop him.
It seems that last time Ding Xi fell ill, he helped that scumbag Ji Huai.
Friday afternoon.
Ding Xi continued to pack in the dormitory, opened her suitcase and put it aside. She was checking whether everything she brought was complete.
Ji Huai had just gotten off work and couldn't wait to pick her up from school.
"I'll go to the high-speed rail station after I've packed up. We'll meet at the high-speed rail station then." She was video chatting with him.
"Don't worry, you go have something to eat first." Ji Huai's words came from the other end.
"I don't want to eat. I'll just buy some bread to eat on the way." Ding Xi put the facial cleanser in again and asked the other side of the camera, "What do you want to eat?"
It takes two hours by high-speed train to get there, and by then it will be too late to eat.
Ji Huai walked out of the company door and was about to take the subway, "I can eat anything. There is a cake shop when we get out of the subway station. I will buy you a cake."
He didn't have much luggage, so he just carried a bag with two sets of clothes in it.
"Okay. I'll be fine soon. Go over now." Ding Xi sped up his cleaning action.
"No rush, I'll wait for you." His voice was gentle and he asked her to take her time.
"Hang up now."
…
After hanging up the phone, Ding Xi's smile lingered on her lips. When she was about to close her luggage, Xu Miaomiao suddenly walked over and threw two things into her suitcase.
"What is this?" Ding Xi picked it up and looked at it.
"Fake blood capsules, condoms." After Xu Miaomiao finished speaking, she walked back to her seat and crossed her hands on her chest. "If you regret and are afraid, just pretend that you are on your period, break the fake blood capsules, and watch It's no different from true blood. Ji Huai won't fight with blood, right? If you are willing, you can protect yourself."
Ding Xi: “…”
She picked up the so-called fake blood capsule and looked at it carefully for a while. She had to say that the blood inside really looked like real blood.
"You don't need this, right?" Ding Xi said, taking out the fake blood capsule. She didn't intend to deceive Ji Huai, and she felt that she couldn't deceive him. It would be too embarrassing and she would have no face to face him.
"What's going to hinder you if you bring it with you?" Xu Miaomiao grabbed it and helped her stuff it into the corner of the suitcase. "You idiot, do you know how dangerous society and men are?"
"Pretending to be mature." Ding Xi laughed at her.
"I think men are very accurate." Xu Miaomiao helped her close the suitcase, "Now this little boy is not a good guy. He thinks he is well hidden, has mixed thoughts, and is not sincere. Just wait and see, it won't be long. I can definitely provide evidence."
Ding Xi felt a little disappointed when she heard what she said, "Maybe you are overthinking it?"
The other party is actually very responsible in love and has a strong sense of responsibility, but it seems that he has never met his lover.
"I never thought about it too much, and I never thought about missing it." Xu Miaomiao said with such confidence, looking at her seriously.
Including the guess about Ji Huai, she felt that her guess and judgment would not be wrong.
"I'm leaving first." Ding Xi pushed his luggage out and grinned.
"Yes." Xu Miaomiao raised her hand and made a goodbye gesture.
The door to the dormitory was closed, and Ding Xi's smile gradually faded as she carried her luggage down the steps.
Couldn't she understand what Xu Miaomiao meant
No, she heard it every time. But she rarely answered questions and rarely expressed her opinions.
Is what the other party said wrong
Neither.
She had to walk some roads by herself. Even if it meant somersaulting, she would accept it if she fell.
Because love is unreasonable.
Ding Xi was not disturbed by this emotion for too long, and Ji Huai was not a scourge.
Twenty minutes later, the two met at the high-speed rail station.
He bought her an ice cream cake and a bottle of yogurt.
It wasn't time to check in yet, so the two found a seat and sat down.
She was eating the cake. Ji Huai didn't like sweets very much, so he went to buy a bucket of instant noodles. He had just made them, and before he opened the lid and started eating, a pair of shining eyes stared at him from the opposite side.
He stopped holding the spoon and asked softly and gently, "Do you want to eat?"
She nodded.
"..." Ji Huai looked at the half of the cake that she had already eaten, hesitated for a while, and then pushed the instant noodles in front of her, "Eat it."
He thought she was just trying the taste, but he didn't expect that she was really not full, so he let her continue eating while he went to buy another bucket.
When he came back, Ding Xi saw him thinking deeply and asked doubtfully, "What are you thinking about?"
Ji Huai's answer was not perfunctory at all, "You can eat better than I thought. The budget for raising you will have to be increased in the future."
He spends money in a planned way and doesn't spend any unnecessary money. He really overspends on raising her.
Seeing him saying this seriously, Ding Xifeng was so confused that he didn't dare to eat more than one bite. He explained, "I didn't eat much at lunch, so..."
"I don't mean to disdain you, just eat and eat until you're full." He interrupted, still speaking seriously, "I save myself, but never you."
This is the truth. Although he is not very generous to her, he is not stingy either.
Ding Xi: "I will support myself from now on, and I will eat less."
Ji Huai shook his head: "I'm a bit chauvinistic, so I'd better make more money."
He is indeed a chauvinist, traditional and stubborn at heart, and feels that there is nothing wrong with the male leading the outside and the female leading the domestic. His family of origin is not up to standard, and he hopes that the girl will have a good family. Even if her personal conditions are far lower than his own, it will be fine. He can make money to support his family.
The two hit it off immediately, and this "business" is a win-win for everyone.
When getting on the bus, he pushed her luggage with one hand and led her to find a seat with the other.
Ding Xi didn't take a nap at noon. When the high-speed train started, she was a little drowsy. Seeing Ji Huai looking at the tablet, she leaned over, grabbed his arm, and leaned against him, "What are you looking at?"
"Stock market." Ji Huai's slender fingers gently slid down and turned a page.
"You want to trade stocks?" She raised her head, slightly surprised.
In her impression, Ji Huai was very conservative in his thinking. He works in an Internet company, but only saves money in his bank card, let alone stock trading. She used to think that he didn't even know what funds were, let alone put money online, for fear that the money would suddenly disappear.
"Stock trading can only be played on a small scale. You won't get rich overnight. Most of you will be harvested like leeks." Ji Huai saw that she was sleepy and stretched out his hand to hold her.
Ding Xi was originally worried that he would be too eager for success and would be harvested if he entered the stock market. After hearing what he said, he felt relieved again, "Well, look, it would be good to know more."
Ji Huai has not accepted these things in the past, so it is a good thing that he is willing to accept them.
"Yeah." He nodded.
In fact, he is planning to enter the stock market with the 300,000 he saved. However, it is not the market that harvests him, but he wants to harvest the market.
This year has been a bull market since the middle of the year. As a person who does not trade in stocks, he knows which stocks will rise wildly because everyone was discussing them at that time.
He has been researching these days and will buy it when the time is right.
Ding Xi fell asleep leaning on his shoulder. When she woke up, she found that he was still reading the stock market, looking extremely serious. She rested her chin on his shoulder. He was reading the stock market, and she was looking at him.
During this period, Ji Huai lowered his eyes to look at her, his eyes were still very gentle, and Ding Xi thought he was going to kiss her.
In fact, no. Ji Huai is a bit old-fashioned. Even if no one sees it, he can't do this behavior in public.
"Get up, get off the car." He warned.
Ding Xi cursed in his heart: a boring straight man, not romantic at all.
The two of them were going to a small town. The high-speed rail had direct buses to the scenic spot. After they got off the train, they went directly to the hotel.
Ding Xi didn't think much about it along the way, but as soon as she and Ji Huai entered the hotel, she panicked. She thought she had forgotten what happened last time, but this time it brought back memories.
The last time she went to play with him, she didn't think about anything. She was in high spirits and happy. In Xu Miaomiao's words, she was a little white rabbit who was not afraid of death, just like a blank sheet of paper.
"Where is your ID card?" Ji Huai reached out to her and asked.
"Oh." Ding Xi found his identity card and handed it over.
"We want to rent two rooms." Ji Huai handed over his ID card and said to the front desk.
Ding Xi was slightly startled, she didn't expect him to say that.
"Sorry, we only have one standard room left." The front desk said in an apologetic tone.
Ji Huai took his ID card back and looked sideways at her, "Are you staying?"
"Ah?" Ding Xi's reaction was a little slow.
Ji Huai then said, "How about we look elsewhere?"
"But there are no rooms in the first few hotels." Ding Xi walked up. They had just visited several hotels and guesthouses and were told that there were no rooms.
Front desk: "The rooms have been full these days, and they will be gone soon, and there may not be any anywhere else. There are a lot of tourists recently, and they all book in advance."
Ji Huai looked at her again.
"Look what I do?" Ding Xi asked him.
"Are you staying?" He smiled.
Ding Xi: "If I don't book, it's gone. I want to stay."
She handed the ID card in his hand to the front desk, looked at him with a frown, and narrowed her eyes to clarify.
With a smile on his lips, Ji Huai took the room card and pushed his luggage toward the elevator. When he entered the elevator, he said, "I don't want to live with you."
"You dislike me?" Ding Xi glared.
What's the meaning? She is a girl and she didn’t say anything!
"No, I'm scared." Ji Huai breathed out and shook his head, as if he was recalling something, and he unconsciously stood farther away from her.
The first thing Ding Xi thought of was Ji Huai's behavior in the ward that day, telling her to calm down because he was afraid of her. Then, her mind went back to the last weekend they went to play together, and the two had a stalemate on the bed.
That time she was panicked and scared, as if... her reaction was particularly violent, like a crazy woman
Thinking of this, she felt strange in her heart.
When the elevator door opened, Ji Huai walked out first and opened the door with the key card.
As soon as the door of the room was closed, the mysterious atmosphere became stronger. Both of them seemed to be a little unable to let go, and their movements were a little restrained.
"Should I take a shower first or you?" Ji Huai asked her.
Ding Xi hurriedly said: "You first."
Ji Huai didn't say much, took his clothes and entered the bathroom.
After a while, the sound of water came from inside. Ding Xi turned on the TV and sat on the edge of the bed, thinking wildly. She didn't notice anything on the TV.
The boy took a shower quickly, and after ten minutes, Ji Huai walked out. He washed his hair. There were still water droplets on the broken hair. He was trying to wipe it and opened the cabinet to find a hair dryer. "Didn't you sleep well yesterday? Take a shower and go to bed quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow."
"Yeah." Ding Xi responded quickly.
She took a lot of things, so she brought a suitcase. Opening the suitcase required space, so she dragged it aside and laid it down to open it.
Ji Huai came over, plugged in the hair dryer, and started blowing his hair.
Ding Xi was very embarrassed. He quickly took his pajamas and towel and went in to take a shower.
She took a long shower and came out half an hour later. Ji Huai was sitting by the bed watching TV series. He pointed at the hair dryer and said to her, "Blow dry your hair quickly. Be careful of catching a cold."
It is impossible for a straight man to say that he would help her with blowjobs.
She walked over silently and blew her hair by herself. After blow-drying her hair, she opened her suitcase, prepared to apply a facial mask, then take care of herself and go to bed.
Ji Huai was sitting on the edge of the bed, very close to her. He was slightly bent, looking at the suitcase full of things. He really couldn't understand, "Why do you have so many things to bring here?"
Women are so troublesome.
He just needs to carry a bag, isn't it just a matter of a few clothes
"It's all useful. I also brought you a steam eye mask." Ding Xi said, pulling out a few steam eye masks from the corner of the suitcase, "Here you go."
She never expected that with this move, she would bring out the fake blood capsule Xu Miaomiao gave her.
Suddenly, Ding Xi's smile suddenly froze. She felt that her breathing had stopped, blood flowed backwards, cold sweat broke out on her back, and the air solidified.
She had only one thought: she wanted to jump out of here immediately, immediately, and without hesitation!
