At the end of June, the graduation season of the year has arrived.
Large numbers of graduates, wearing bachelor's uniforms, shuttled around every corner of the school, eager to record the beauty of every part of the campus with their cameras.
Grandma Ding sent it to Ding Xi when she was in college, and she took a group of photos with her at the campus gate. At that time, they agreed to take another group of photos after graduation, but the other party was no longer here.
"Baby, look here, mom."
"Quick, quick, please help me and my daughter take a picture."
"Take more pictures."
…
Many parents come from all over the country just to attend their children's graduation ceremony.
Xu Miaomiao's parents are also here, and Xu's mother is taking Xu Miaomiao to take pictures in front of the teaching building. Ding Xi looked at them with envy in his eyes.
From time to time she takes out her phone and pretends to check the time.
"Shall we go for dinner later? Let's go eat the most famous mutton hot pot in the small back street with our parents." Xu Miaomiao noticed her mood and came over to talk to her.
Not only did Ding's father and Ding's mother not come, there was not even a phone call or message. She would have been very sad, so she couldn't leave Ding Xi alone.
Ding hoped to apologize to her, "But Ji Huai will be here soon."
When she said this, her eyebrows raised and her eyes were filled with smiles.
"I told you earlier, and I was still thinking about how to comfort you." Xu Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief and scolded her with a smile.
Ding Xi continued to smile. She was not at all disappointed or sad as she had imagined. Instead, she was uncontrollably happy.
Just after the graduation ceremony, Xu Miaomiao and Ding Xi walked out together. Ji Huai was already here. He was wearing a white shirt and holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
"It's quite romantic." Xu Miaomiao joked.
Ding Xi blushed with embarrassment and walked towards him with small steps, walking faster and faster. When she got in front of him, she looked up and smiled at him, "Are you here?"
"Happy graduation." He placed the flowers in her arms.
Ding Xi held the flowers, walked to Xu Miaomiao again, took out her mobile phone, "Can you take a photo for us?"
"Of course." Xu Miaomiao took the phone, squatted down and found a suitable angle, "Look here, I'll take a few more pictures for you."
In the camera, Ding Xi smiled deeply, stretched out his free hand to take Ji Huai's hand, and snuggled next to him. Just as she was about to hold him, Ji Huai reached out his hand first, put his arm around her shoulders, and took her into his arms.
The corners of Ding Xi's mouth turned up more and more, and she leaned towards him.
Xu Miaomiao took several pictures in a row, and when she handed them to Ding Xi, she looked at them twice more and said sincerely, "It's very beautiful."
Ding Xi is good-looking, and Ji Huai's looks are really hard to fault.
In the photo, the girl is wearing a bachelor's uniform, with beautiful eyebrows and a smile like a flower. The person next to her was tall and long-legged, with a handsome appearance and a handsome face with sharp edges. If you look closely, you can see that there is a little tenderness and smile in his dark and deep eyes.
Come to think of it, I am really happy from the bottom of my heart.
"Thank you." Ding Xi was also very satisfied with the photo she took and was setting it as wallpaper.
"Send me a few." Ji Huai leaned over to take a look and said softly to her.
Xu's father and mother were still waiting for her. After saying goodbye to them, Xu Miaomiao went to her parents' side.
"Is that your roommate's boyfriend? He's handsome, and he's from your school?" Mother Xu was carrying a bag and looking at Ding Xi and Ji Huai.
"No, I have been working at Capital University for several years." Xu Miaomiao replied casually.
"That's great." Xu's mother's eyes widened, almost sparkling, and she said excitedly, "Where's the one from Capital University? Does he have any friends or classmates? I'll introduce you to one. He's the right age. We've been dating for two or three years. Just in time to get married…”
"Okay, okay, I'm starving, let's go eat." Xu Miaomiao quickly interrupted and urged the two of them to move forward. When they reached the corner, she couldn't help but look back at the two of them.
Ji Huai has a weak temperament, and he is quite polite in saying thank you to her. At this time, he is putting his hand on Ding Xi's shoulder, lowering his head and looking at the photos with her, with a slight smile on his lips.
Ding Xi is a sensitive person, prone to overthinking and anxious. According to what the other party said, the Ji family is in such a bad situation that if a woman goes there, they may have to run away. Even if they don't break up, they will be depressed.
But strangely, since Ding Xi came back from Ji's house, her relationship with Ji Huai has become even better.
How much sense of security does the other party have to give her before she can feel so at ease
After Ji Huai described a lot of things to Ding Xi, Xu Miaomiao was scornful before, but now she has reservations. Graduation is around the corner and they are about to go their separate ways. Most couples break up, and only a few can make it to the end.
When everyone was busy looking for a job, Ji Huai first accompanied Ding Xi on a graduation trip. The two went to the prairie and climbed the snow-capped mountains.
After returning, Ji Huai enrolled Ding Xi in a training class and asked her to learn skills.
Xu Miaomiao can't wait to go to work. She never wants to go to school and take exams. I enthusiastically submitted my resume to a small company and became a social worker.
I work six days a week, from nine to six, and I have to work overtime from time to time. The salary I received was not too much or too little, and including overtime pay, it was barely 7,000.
I was very excited when I received my salary for the first time, but it was much more than the living expenses at school. Before I could be happy for a while, I calculated the rent, water and electricity, and various credit cards that needed to be repaid, and there was not much left.
She held her head, hopeless.
Fortunately, the training class Ding Xi attended was also near the house she rented, and the two of them rented a house together, and the other party helped her share half of the rent, water and electricity.
"I worked so hard at work, but in the end I didn't have much money left." Xu Miaomiao hugged the pillow and continued to cry on the bed. She looked at the balance in her phone again and couldn't figure out where the money had gone.
Why is it just gone
"You have to save some money and receive express delivery every now and then. How can you have money left over?" Ding Xi was taking notes and continued her words.
"I've already saved a lot!!!" Xu Miaomiao raised her voice and lay on the bed, "Why is it so difficult to save money? How did Ji Huai save 100,000 yuan a year?"
Less than three years after graduation, Ji Huai already had 300,000 yuan in hand.
"He doesn't buy anything, so it saves money." Ding Xi clicked the mouse on the computer and was doing tomorrow's homework.
"I'm convinced." Xu Miaomiao gave a thumbs up, "There's no cost at all?"
Ding Xi: "Yes."
"What?" Xu Miaomiao looked up at her.
"Me." Ding Xi smiled, "I am his extra expenditure, and I am continuing to exceed the expenditure, otherwise he should save more."
Although she also paid for the trivial expenses of dating, Ji Huai borne more.
"Spread the dog food." Xu Miaomiao snorted coldly, turned around and lay down on the bed, lazily took the tablet next to him and watched the drama, "I don't know what Ji Huai is thinking. You have classes for more than ten hours a day, and this training class is too much." It’s hard work, I don’t know what kind of job I can find after studying.”
Ding Xi has been attending training classes for more than half a month. From morning to night, she has to do homework when she comes back at night, which is even harder than when she goes to work.
She doesn't have the perseverance.
Ding Xi rubbed his sore eyes and continued to look at the screen, "It's quite hard, but you have to persevere."
She almost vomited in class.
"How long will the class continue?" Xu Miaomiao asked again.
"There are still two months left." Ding Xi finished and added, "Ji Huai said he would teach me for a while before he would make a resume and submit it. When I look for a job, it will be three or four months later."
"Oh my god, you are so miserable, you might as well go to work." Xu Miaomiao sympathized with her.
"He also knows that I work hard, so he will bring me breakfast tomorrow morning." Ding Xi's slightly frowned brows relaxed again, showing a big smile, and the last word was dragging, "I haven't seen him for several days."
She has been in class, leaving early and coming back late, so how can she have time
"Ouch." Xu Miaomiao looked shamelessly.
Isn’t it enough to be tired and tired every night before going to bed? She couldn't even stand it.
Ding Xi pursed her lips and continued to smile, forcing herself to complete her homework.
She still had to work hard and not let Ji Huai down.
The second day.
Ji Huai got up early and delivered breakfast to Ding Xi on the way to work.
Ding Xi knew he was coming and woke up early. As soon as the doorbell rang, she went to open the door.
Ji Huai was carrying the thermos box. He did not come in or hand the thermos box to her immediately. Instead, he opened his arms and looked at her with a smile on his dark and cool eyes filled with tenderness.
"Good morning." She raised her head, smiled and went to hug him, hiding in his arms, she raised her head and couldn't help but kiss his chin.
"Boo~" was quite loud.
She was obviously more enthusiastic than Ji Huai expected. There was something unnatural in his eyes that she couldn't let go. He said to her, "After breakfast, go to class."
"Hmm..." She said and stood on tiptoe to lean in for a kiss. Ji Huai did not hide, but two coughs came from behind, "Ahem."
Xu Miaomiao woke up.
No matter how shameless Ding Xi was, she still knew how to be shy. She got out of his arms and walked him to the elevator door. She stood outside the elevator door and waved to him, "Bye."
"Come in." Ji Huai looked at her and said.
"Huh?" She thought she heard wrongly.
He suddenly stretched out his hand, pulled her in, pushed her into the corner, leaned over and kissed her, holding her delicate lips in his mouth, turning her around again and again.
Ding Xi clenched her hands tightly and was so breathless from his kiss that she even felt a little weak in her feet. He was also very mean and even bit her lightly when they separated.
"Well..." Her eyes were moist, and she stared at him with shame and annoyance.
He raised his hand and put his fingertips against her lips, caressing her lips gently like a fascination. He raised the corners of his lips and smiled, with an innocent look on his face, "I went to work."
The elevator door had been closed just now, but he opened it again. He raised his eyebrows and looked outside, as if telling her: You can go out now, I'm going downstairs.
Typical of wanting to run away after eating and wiping clean, Ding Xi glared at him again.
Ji Huai continued to smile, and when he saw that she wouldn't leave, he leaned forward slightly, preparing to kiss again, but she ran away faster than a rabbit, and ran out without looking back, "Goodbye!"
"Ha~" He chuckled from behind.
When Ding Xi came back, Xu Miaomiao just came out of the shower. When Ji Huai brought her breakfast, it was naturally not possible for her to be the only one. Xu Miaomiao also benefited from it.
In the thermal box is yam, lean meat and vegetable porridge, in addition to soft European buns with custard and leek and egg dumplings.
Xu Miaomiao looked at the pretty good porridge, rubbed his hands and sat down, "Thanks to you, I can have a free breakfast and let me try his craftsmanship."
Ding Xilao said that Ji Huai's craftsmanship was good, but she hadn't tasted it yet.
Xu Miaomiao scooped up a spoonful, brought it to her mouth and blew two mouthfuls, and Xiaomin took one mouthful.
The porridge is fragrant, soft and silky, and has just the right salty taste.
She took another sip and gave a thumbs up, "The craftsmanship is good. It tastes better than the ones outside. The taste is more correct."
The ones outside have a lot of flavoring added to them, but the ones you make yourself definitely don’t.
"He is very good at cooking." Ding Xi said, still a little proud.
"When I praise him, it makes you happier than when I praise you." Xu Miaomiao shook her head and picked up a custard soft European bun. She even took a look at it.
Looks good and has pretty good hands.
After taking a bite, she tasted it carefully. The milk was full of flavor and the bun was soft. She finished one in a few seconds, stretched out her chopsticks to pick up another one, and said vaguely, "Is it really made by Ji Huai?"
"Yes, he recently learned to make pastries, which are delicious." Ding Xi also sat down and said while eating.
"Awesome." Xu Miaomiao was not stingy with her praise. After eating a dumpling, she asked seriously, "Will he still serve breakfast tomorrow?"
Ding Xi: “…”
"You see, you are so hard in class, alas, come out early, one is more than ten hours, Ji Huai has to care about you and care for you with actual actions." Xu Miaomiao said very much, and he still went silently to go. There was a dumpling stuffed in his mouth.
The skin is thin and filling, so delicious.
"I don't know." Ding Xi shook his head.
"The things outside are unhealthy. They are all gutter oil and low-quality ingredients..." Xu Miaomiao continued to induce.
"Yes." Ding Xi nodded, raised his head and moved forward slightly, with longing, "Ji Huai also said the same. From now on, he will make breakfast for me and we will eat it at home. How nice."
Xu Miaomiao: "..."
not good.
This is not good for her at all.
However, although Ji Huai did not deliver it every day, since that day, he would deliver breakfast every three to five days. He has gradually adapted to his new company and will even deliver meals on weekends.
After finally resting on weekends, Xu Miaomiao used to sleep until two or three o'clock in the afternoon. After lunch and dinner, she didn't need to eat. Since Ji Huai brought the meal at noon, she woke up at ninety o'clock and looked at the alarm clock on the wall. Every half hour Within an hour, he asked Ding Xi, "When will your Ji Huai come?"
"Your Ji Huai won't come today, right?"
"Ding Xi, what delicious food did your Ji Huai make for you?"
…
Waiting and hoping, the doorbell rang, and Ding Xi ran to see Ji Huai. Xu Miaomiao stood up as soon as she stood up, quickly walked over, lay in the corner with her head exposed, and stared at the lunch box in Ji Huai's hand.
Her gaze was precise and never moved. That gaze was probably even hotter than Ding Xi's.
No matter how tired they were, they couldn't disturb her, but the longer it went, the harder she gripped the wall, and she began to feel hungry.
Waiting for one more minute will make you hungrier, which is unbearable.
As soon as Ji Huai left, before Ding Xi's door was closed, Xu Miaomiao rushed out excitedly and quickly ran to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks, "Let's make rice!!!"
The dishes delivered today are: garlic pineapple duck, cumin beef, egg-wrapped tofu, braised eggplant... and a tomato mushroom soup.
Xu Miaomiao took a deep breath of the delicious food, her face showing satisfaction, "Can your Ji Huai open a restaurant?"
powerful!
She is soft-spoken. Now she hardly speaks ill of Ji Huai. She always uses "your Ji Huai" when talking to Ding Xi. Look, what a kind name.
"He doesn't open a restaurant." Ding Xi said with a smile.
"Then what is he going to do?" Xu Miaomiao couldn't help but stuffed a piece of meat into her mouth. It tasted delicious!
"Work hard, keep changing jobs, and make money to support your family." Ding Xi replied to her.
She also said this to Ji Huai. He said that he would not be a chef, but he could be her chef in the future and cook every day to support her and make her gain weight.
Xu Miaomiao kept nodding and did not take this matter to heart.
She didn't expect that Ji Huai would really change jobs a few months later, and his salary would increase significantly. This really surprised her. Could it be that the other party started to exert his strength
Not only that, Ding Xi actually found a good job, with a starting salary that was 1.5 times hers.
Xu Miaomiao opened her mouth wide, finding it difficult to accept this fact.
Not long ago, she laughed at Ding Xi, who had just finished the training class, and was arrested by Ji Huai to learn some useless skills. Didn't he still go to work after so long after graduation
what happened
At this time, Xu Miaomiao stood on the scale, looked at Ding Xi, covered her face and felt helpless, pointing at her and accusing her, "You, you have bad intentions, why did you increase your salary, but I only gained weight? I have already increased my salary." It’s fifteen pounds!!!”
Ding Xi looked innocent, "But I also eat it. Ji Huai often brings me pastries. I like to eat cream, and he puts a lot of cream in it."
"You still say! Are you a human?!" Xu Miaomiao roared. Ding Xi won’t gain weight by eating. This sentence is extremely insulting.
Ding Xi quickly shut up, "Then... what should we do now?"
"What should I do? I want to lose weight!!! I also want a salary increase!" Xu Miaomiao screamed, gritting her teeth, her face twitching, and she made great determination.
Ding Xi hesitated and said, "But... Ji Huai said that in order to celebrate my finding a good job, he wanted to cook a big dinner at their place and let us go together."
Before she finished her last words, Xu Miaomiao's face suddenly retracted, and she calmly got off the scale, "When?"
"This Saturday."
Xu Miaomiao replied without hesitation, "Go!"
Ding Xi: "?"
Don't you want to lose weight
"Last time, the braised prawns were good, as well as the pot-roasted pork, lemon-shredded chicken, and..." She burst into tears as she spoke, pitifully, "Xiao Xi, I'm hungry again..."
"You just ate, and you also ate two large chicken drumsticks." Ding Xi reminded her.
"I don't care, I'll lose weight tomorrow." Xu Miaomiao pursed her lips, took her phone and went back to the room to order takeout.
She knew that she had gained fifteen pounds, so she could only eat another roast chicken with tears in her eyes while being scared.
Saturday afternoon.
"Ji Huai and I are going to the supermarket to buy ingredients. The address has been sent to you. You can go there later." Ding Xi sent the address to Xu Miaomiao and said to the person on the bed.
"... Well..." Xu Miaomiao replied in a daze, and got into bed again.
Ji Huai was already waiting for her downstairs, and Ding Xi was hurriedly putting on shoes.
"Buzz buzz."
The phone in her bag rang.
Ding Xi had a free hand, pressed answer and put it to her ear. She thought it was a call from Ji Huai, and said sweetly, "Wait for me a little longer, I'll be fine soon."
On the other end of the phone, Mother Ding was stunned. She took off the phone and looked at the number again to confirm that she had dialed correctly.
Ding Xi always looked reserved in front of her, cautious and trembling. The voice on the other end of the phone was clear and sultry, a little coquettish and very intimate.
Seeing that the other end of the phone was silent, Ding Xi stopped moving. His heart skipped a beat when he saw the note on the phone. He paused and then whispered, "Mom?"
Mother Ding calmed down her expression, as if she had no special reaction, and said directly: "Come over for a meal at noon today."
Words are not consultations and inquiries, but notifications.
If it had been before, Ding Xi would have responded and everything would have to be put in the back row. But she had promised Ji Huai to go shopping and cook together today, and also invited his roommate and Xu Miaomiao, so that was not possible.
She could only refuse, "Mom, I'm sorry, I'm not free today, how about next time?"
This was an unexpected answer from Ding's mother. She was slightly dissatisfied, but she didn't question it and didn't speak again.
Ding Xi saw that the time was passing by and Ji Huai was still waiting for her. She said bravely, "I have something to do now. I will have dinner with you another day, okay?"
Mother Ding didn't say when she would be able to eat again, and she hung up the phone quickly.
Ding Xi felt her dissatisfaction, and she didn't know what to do. She could only sigh, but this time she was not as flustered as before.
Thinking that Ji Huai was still waiting for her, she forgot about it when she rushed down.
Ding's mother, who had hung up Ding Xi's phone, was sitting on the sofa. Her face looked haggard. She had been unable to sleep for several nights in a row, and her eyes were black and blue.
Looking at the hung up call, she threw the phone aside irritably and put her hand on her forehead, feeling a splitting headache.
