As soon as the two of them arrived downstairs, it suddenly started to rain. People outside quickly ran in to take shelter from the rain.
When Ji Huai was in distress, Yu Wei opened the bag on her shoulder and took out a pocket umbrella. This umbrella is usually used to provide shade from the sun.
Although the umbrella is small, it can be used.
Yu Wei took out the umbrella, opened it, and saw his little eyes looking at her.
She was embarrassed to leave alone, so she asked politely, "How are you going back?"
"I don't know." He lowered his eyes and then shrugged, "Let's wait until the rain stops."
Yu Wei looked at the dark sky in the distance. Looking at the rain, she was afraid that it would not stop for a while. She thought for a moment, "Where do you live? How do you usually get back?"
Ji Huai raised his finger and pointed to the building in front of him, "We are in Haicheng Garden. We need to take the bus opposite."
There is a triangular intersection behind the building from here. Normally it's not that far to walk, but now that it's raining heavily, it's a long way to go.
It was impossible for Yu Wei to send him there, so she simply said, "I don't know when the rain will stop. My car is parked in front. Let's go pick it up together and I'll take you back."
His eyes lit up, and he responded without hesitation. His tone was clear, "Thank you, Sister Yu."
Yu Wei gave him the umbrella, "Wait a little longer and see if the rain lightens up before passing."
The umbrella is too small and you will probably get wet.
"Um."
The two waited for several more minutes, and the rain slowed down slightly. Yu Wei held the bag in her arms and signaled that he could leave.
Ji Huai stood next to her and held an umbrella. As he walked out, a cool breeze came, mixed with drizzle, and hit the two of them. Yu Wei lowered her head and continued to quicken her pace.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning lit up, and refracted shadows could be seen around her. Yu Wei turned pale with fright.
Immediately afterwards, there was a "bang", accompanied by heavier and heavier drizzle, and a gust of wind, which shook her body and chilled her to her bones.
There were extra hands on her shoulders. Ji Huai reached out to steady her body and brought her to his side. At the same time, he moved the umbrella towards her and said quickly, "It's raining hard, so we have to walk faster."
He said and quickened his pace, and she was almost carried away by him.
Yu Wei didn't care about anything else and quickened her pace.
She was wearing high heels. Ji Huai was still a little taller than her. His steps were very steady. He put his hands on her shoulders. The warmth of his palms seemed to be transmitted through her thin chiffon shirt. The wind blew her and she had to She leaned closer to him and buried her head lower and lower, almost getting closer to his arms.
When he arrived at the car, Ji Huai put the umbrella on the roof and asked her to get in first.
"Come up quickly." Yu Wei Liu frowned, urging him, and at the same time leaned over to open the door on the other side.
After Ji Huai came up and closed the door, before she could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw that one side of his shoulder was already wet. She took some paper out to him and said, "Wipe it, don't catch a cold."
"No, I'm in good health." He said with extreme confidence, wiped it casually, and flipped up his handsome and fluffy hair.
Yu Wei was reversing the car and turned the steering wheel to drive forward.
"You're not wet, are you?" Ji Huai turned his head and asked her as the car drove onto the road.
Yu Wei looked forward, "You tilted your umbrella towards me, of course I didn't get caught in the rain."
On the contrary, he also got wet a lot.
Ji Huai grinned, "That's true. How did I perform?"
"What?"
"Performance, of course, I can't let the leader suffer. It's up to me to suffer. Only in this way can we perform well and know how to assess the situation." The young man said with reason.
Yu Wei: “…”
People don't judge situations like you do, and they speak straightforwardly and stupidly.
"Sister Yu, do you think that's true?" he asked, feeling that he made sense.
"Just work hard." Yu Wei answered him.
She will not avenge her personal grudges. Everyone completes their own workload and receives their own share of salary.
Soft and soothing music echoed in the car, making people feel good. The car Yu Wei drove was neither cheap nor luxury, and the price was just over three hundred thousand.
She also bought a small apartment and paid off the car loan and house loan every month, which cost her more than half of her salary. Although tired, bitter and stressful, my life was enjoyable.
But it’s just that I work too hard and I don’t have my own life or social circle, but there’s nothing I can do about it.
Ji Huai put his elbow on the car window, tilted his head to one side and looked at her again, "Sister Yu, what are you going to eat when you go back?"
"Check it out later." Yu Wei drove very seriously, just like she did at work, and didn't even give him a look.
"If we go back at this time, we won't have anything to eat." Ji Huai sighed.
"Why?" Yu Wei asked casually.
Ji Huai replied: "My grandparents and I are the only ones left in my family. They are in the next city. I rent a house here by myself. There is nothing in the refrigerator."
When Yu Wei heard this, she knew there was something hidden, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Parents are no longer around or passed away? My life experience is quite pitiful.
"Oh, in addition to my grandparents, I also have a dog named Dahuang..." Ji Huai took the initiative to chatter, and he really talked a lot.
Ji's father and mother had an accident when he was very young, and the other party paid a sum of money. Grandpa Ji and Grandma Ji listened to someone's suggestion and used all the money to buy a house and put his name on it, so they could be regarded as his parents. Leave something for him.
He didn't have time to spend time with the two elderly people during school and work, so he bought them a dog and has had it for several years.
I bought a house in a neighboring city. There wasn't much compensation at that time, and the house I bought was old and I couldn't sell it for money. Due to such family conditions, he wanted to succeed so much, otherwise he would have no hope for the rest of his life.
Yu Wei'an listened quietly to what he said, only nodding from time to time to show that she was listening.
Ji Huai understood her nature and spoke tentatively, "When I go home, I either order takeout or eat instant noodles, which are both boring. Today is the best day to eat hot pot. Eating hot pot alone is boring. Why don't we eat hot pot together before going back?"
"There's a new Xudongguan hot pot restaurant opened in the square near my home, and it's delicious."
Xudongguan is a hotpot brand in Nanjiang. The classic pot base is spicy and fragrant.
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Yu Wei, and saw her purse her lips, with a look of success in her eyes. She smiled, raised her voice, and said exaggeratedly, "Really, when I was in college, I went to eat with my roommates every month. I must I recommend this hot pot restaurant to you. The tripe is cooked in a pot, dipped in dipping sauce, and chunks of beef. By the way, their shrimp paste is also excellent... "
"Then let's go have a meal together. It doesn't matter if there are more than one person." Yu Wei was not one to hesitate, so she made a decision immediately.
"OK."
Where she couldn't see, Ji Huai raised the corners of his mouth.
On the surface, Yu Wei had no mood swings, but in fact, her heart had drifted to the hot pot.
Not that she was greedy. Nanjiang is not far from her home, and they also like to eat hot pot there. She is usually too busy to eat simply or in a hurry, and when she has free time, she is too tired to bother with it.
She hasn't had hot pot for a long, long time. One is that I don’t have time, and the other is that I don’t want to go alone, it’s too embarrassing.
Due to her personality and position, she has few friends.
I got off work early today, and I have someone to accompany me. The weather is indeed suitable for eating hot pot, so I started thinking about it.
Her car drove to the underground parking lot of the shopping mall. The parking space was quite tight today, so she had to go around and find a parking space.
When we went upstairs, the hot pot restaurant was also full, so we had to wait for a while.
Yu Wei sat outside waiting for the meal and poured a glass of water to drink. The waiter asked her if she wanted some snacks to fill her stomach, but she politely refused.
Ji Huai is not far away. He was queuing up the order. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was communicating with the waiter. The other person's eyes seemed to be glued to him, very enthusiastic.
From her perspective, she could see his perfect profile, high bridge of nose, and thick and slender eyelashes fluttering.
He got the number, smiled and said thank you to the other party, showing two dimples, and with his handsome face, Yu Wei could feel the excitement of the little girl.
The other party's eyes were full of uncontrollable excitement, and he leaned towards his newly arrived companion, silently saying: So handsome and gentle, I can't help it, such a handsome guy in real life.
"There's no one queuing up in front of the small table. We'll be with you soon. Just a moment." He walked over to her and sat down, holding a number slip in his hand.
Yu Wei looked away, nodded, and took another sip from the water glass.
Ji Huai kept poking his head into the hot pot restaurant. From time to time he would stand up and look inside, stretching his neck and bending slightly to look around. He never forgot to ask her, "Are you hungry?"
Yu Wei: "It's okay."
"Someone is leaving!" Seeing a small table leaving, he stood up, walked to the front and waved to her, eagerly saying, "Hurry, hurry, let's go in quickly."
“A72 customer please…”
"Here, it's us!" He rushed to the front desk and thrust the paper into the waiter's hand.
The other party was also a little girl. When she suddenly saw his handsome face, her cheeks turned red and she stuttered when she spoke, "Huh? Oh, this... please..."
Yu Wei was not affected by Ji Huai, and her steps were still slow, elegant and calm.
When the two of them walked in, the small table was still being cleaned. Ji Huai gave her the menu and said, "Please order."
Yu Wei was not polite and asked him which pot base he wanted to eat. He pointed to the first one and said, "How about their classic pot base?"
When she finished speaking, she saw the corners of Yu Wei's mouth slightly raised, she touched the bottom of the pot, and selected a few dishes she wanted to eat.
When Ji Huai took the menu, he glanced at it, added a portion of tofu puffs and lotus root slices, ordered two shrimp sliders, and handed the menu to the waiter, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." The little girl looked at him several times and smiled shyly.
Yu Wei looked at the little girl and found it interesting. She put her fair hands on the table and looked back at Ji Huai's face, her eyes thoughtful.
He has a delicate face, and under the light, his skin is smoother, whiter and tenderer, exuding youthful vitality.
Cheerful and laughing, confident and sunny, exuding upward vitality, it is indeed difficult not to be liked.
When Ji Huai raised his eyes, he still met her eyes. She was too absorbed in what she saw just now, as if she had been caught suddenly. She felt guilty for no reason. She quickly looked away and kneaded the fingers of her hands on the table.
This is what she does when she's nervous.
"I'm so hungry." He didn't seem to notice. He leaned back and placed his hands lazily on top of the sofa. His whole body was spread out, looking weak.
Yu Wei still sat upright, he rubbed her feet and stood up again, "I'll get some fruit to eat first."
"Go ahead."
Ji Huai rushed to the fruit section and started picking up fruits.
Watermelon, mango, cantaloupe…
I want more cantaloupe, a little more. I don’t want bananas and cherry tomatoes, and I don’t want dragon fruit. Forget it, dragon fruit is quite nutritious, so I want a few pieces.
He came back with a bowl of fruit and put it on the table for Yu Wei to have a taste.
"Eat dragon fruit, it's really sweet." He promoted his dragon fruit and stuffed a piece into his mouth.
Yu Wei couldn't resist, so she ate a piece and then went to eat the cantaloupe. She likes to eat crisp and clear cantaloupe. When she saw that most of the plate was filled with cantaloupe, she ate another piece and said, "Do you like to eat cantaloupe?"
"Yeah." He nodded.
Yu Wei didn't say anything else. She liked all the fruits on the plate. Dragon fruit might be acceptable.
When Ji Huai saw that she no longer ate dragon fruit, he ate the remaining pieces in a few seconds, leaving only the fruits she liked to eat in the basin.
The bottom of the pot was brought up, with a layer of chili and peppercorns floating on it, and a layer of red oil. Once the fire is turned on, the aroma is still coming out even though it is piping hot.
The side dishes were also brought out one by one and placed on the shelves or on the table.
"Put the lotus root slices first, they will have to cook for a while." After Ji Huai put them in, he added the shrimp sliders. After putting the shrimp sliders, he started to rinse the mutton, holding a colander in one hand and putting it in with the other.
Counting the time, after it was cooked, he picked it up and put it in her bowl.
"I'll do it myself. Aren't you hungry? You eat first." Yu Wei raised her hand to stop his movements, with a formal tone that was neither salty nor bland.
She didn't feel comfortable being so close to others.
"I'm not short of time, ladies first." Ji Huai insisted on putting it in her bowl, then picked up a few more pieces and put them in the hot pot.
Yu Wei could only accept, "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Ji Huai was in a happy mood, put the mutton in his bowl again, and started eating.
Although he is thin and tall, he eats a lot. He can get food for her and himself while serving food, and he can be distracted while eating. He eats quickly and without being picky, which greatly increases people's appetite.
At first, Yu Wei stopped him from putting anything in the bowl in front of her. He kept saying, "It won't taste good if you cook it any longer. I'll get some for you so I can make new dishes."
He said so, so naturally she wouldn't say anything.
Moreover, when she looked at the dishes in front of her, there was nothing she didn't like. They were very appetizing. She couldn't feel any disgust at all, and she gradually accepted his actions.
Most of the dishes on the table were what she ordered, and she also liked the ones he added. She missed the shrimp sliders, but she didn't expect him to eat them raw. They were all to her liking.
Yu Wei didn't eat much in the past, and her irregular diet and work pressure caused her to lose her appetite, so she was very thin and would wear looser clothes that didn't make her look slimmer.
My appetite has been very good since noon today, and I am in a rare state of relaxation.
"Eat some more fruit." He walked over and took some more cantaloupe, asking her to eat two more pieces.
Yu Wei shook her head, she was a little nervous.
"These are sweeter than the ones just now." His black eyes were clear and translucent, and he said it very seriously. He also stuffed a piece into his mouth and bit it crisply.
It looks more delicious.
She ate another piece of noodles and waited for a while. Yu Wei picked up her bag and took out her mobile phone from the bag. She was about to go to the front desk to pay, but was told that the bill had been settled.
Yu Wei was surprised and looked at Ji Huai behind her. When did he get married? When getting fruit
He put one hand in his pocket and walked out slowly, "Let's go."
She took back her phone and frowned slightly, "Why did you pay?"
How much is his monthly salary
Ji Huai: "I invite you to eat hot pot with me. I can't ask you to pay the bill."
"This is not your invitation..."
"Let's go, you're blocking other people's way." Before she could finish speaking, Ji Huaixu held her shoulders and took her aside to make way for the people behind her.
After Yu Wei realized it, she also walked aside and said to him, "Next time, don't rush to pay."
"Isn't this just showing off? I'll take this opportunity to treat you to a meal, and ask Sister Yu to be merciful in the future." Ji Huai said with a playful smile, half-truth and half-lie.
"Just finish your work. I won't deliberately embarrass you." She does this to everyone. Everyone works hard to make money to survive, and she doesn't think it's necessary.
Ji Huai had a well-behaved look on his face and nodded like a fool.
Yu Wei: "How much does this meal cost? I'll transfer it to you."
"If you transfer me, won't you turn me into a softie? A man, I don't want to be a softie." Ji Huai said extremely seriously and with stubbornness.
Yu Wei: “…”
Are today’s young people so individual
"Besides, the days are long and it's just a meal, right?"
"I hope so." Yu Wei was not convinced. Generally speaking, new colleagues will get along with her at the beginning. Knowing that she is capable, they will fawn over her, but they will alienate her later on.
Firstly, it was because she had a clear distinction between public and private affairs and her personality was not that enthusiastic. Secondly, she also knew that Ma Keqing and others were spreading rumors outside.
She can't stop talking about others. The company is just a place to make money. It is bound to be difficult for leaders to have a good relationship with employees, otherwise it will be difficult to handle work.
She is not good at dealing with such interpersonal relationships, but she thinks this is good.
When Ji Huai walked to the mall, he saw gashapon machines and claw machines on both sides of the mall, "Do you want to play?"
Yu Wei glanced at it and said, "That's what little girls play with."
Childish and boring.
Ji Huai thought for a moment, put his index finger and thumb against his chin, slightly bent his head to look at her and shook his head, "That's not right."
"?"
"A woman is always a little girl, and she always deserves to be loved. Do you want to play? I will buy you coins."
…
Yu Wei didn't answer him immediately, but walked forward with her feet raised, her tone was neither salty nor cool, "I'm past the age of playing this."
Ji Huai started to chase her with his long legs, and chirped in her ear, "No, there is no age limit for playing. You have to define it for yourself."
"I often play remote control racing cars. Am I only five years old?"
…
Yu Wei couldn't stand how noisy he was. When she got off the elevator, she raised her slender hand, palm upward, and gently pressed it down twice, "Okay, be quiet."
Her words were slow and unhurried, echoing in the elevator. Ji Huai shut up immediately. He liked hearing her voice. When she spoke softly, how could she be as cold as they said? He felt gentle and patient with water.
Yu Wei sent him to the gate of the community. Before Ji Huai got off the car, he turned on his phone and said to her, "I added you on WeChat. Remember to pass it and send a message when you get home to report that you are safe."
He said very naturally, reached out to unbuckle his seat belt and got out of the car.
Yu Wei had been accustomed to being independent since she was a child, but she was stunned for a moment when she was suddenly asked like this.
She is careful at work, and although she is not enthusiastic in interpersonal communication, she still has the proper etiquette. Whether she is doing it outright or from the bottom of her heart, she will often say this to others, but others rarely say this to her.
"Bye." Ji Huai shook his hand twice and closed the car door.
She could also see his face through the glass. His dark eyes were stained with a smile in the dark night, and he seemed to be in a good mood. He stood there without moving, looking at her.
Yu Wei thought he was being polite and not to waste his time, so she stepped on the accelerator and drove the car forward.
Ji Huai kept watching, and when the car turned a corner and couldn't see anymore, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze and walked upstairs.
He has lost his parents since he was a child. Although he has suffered a lot and received a lot of looks from people, his grandparents also love him very much, and the two old people have some pensions.
Just the salary from an internship, how can he spend it
When he went to school, he had to spend three thousand a month, half of the pension of two old people. After leaving the society, I found a job with a low base salary, and I was still in my internship period. I was not willing to share the house with others. This small single room cost 2,300 yuan, and I owed a small 10,000 yuan on my credit card.
With his cheerful and sunny temperament and handsome face, he was given preferential treatment all the way up, and he was blessed by a tragic life experience. The female head teacher was the first to think of him for any poverty subsidies provided by the school.
Everyone thought he was pitiful, but in fact he felt nothing.
His parents died young, and he didn't understand yet. What's not to be pitiful about? I have never enjoyed or experienced the love of my parents at all, so how can I talk about losing it
It's all because others think he's pitiful.
Ji Huai pursed his lips and looked at his phone again. She hadn't approved her WeChat application yet. She probably wouldn't get home for more than ten minutes. He took his clothes and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
He looked at his face and figure in the mirror, showed a narcissistic smile, looked around twice, and clicked his tongue several times.
Some people are extremely good-looking. Not only are they good-looking, but their skin is also white. Not only is it white, but it is also tender.
She is tall, has a good figure, does not gain weight, and loves to laugh.
Growing up, there was a long queue of girls who liked him, and the class teacher punished him lighter than others after skipping class.
The apples I received on Christmas Eve can be taken home and eaten for a month. The drawers are filled with chocolates for Valentine’s Day, and I can successfully borrow and copy my homework in seconds.
Ji Huai looked at himself again, intoxicated by his elegant appearance, and smiled slightly, revealing his beautiful dimples, "Some people are born to be rewarded by God."
This reminded him that after he separated from Yu Wei, he had achieved certain achievements. There was a rich girl who clung to him and wanted to marry him with several houses and cars. She could actually say that she wanted to marry despite being domestically abused. Overtly and covertly He said that he would not have to worry about marrying her.
He shook his head firmly in the mirror, "You have to rely on yourself as a human being!"
Appearance is important, but a person's character must be the same as his appearance.
He is sincere to Yu Wei!
It was already ten o'clock when Yu Wei got home.
She walked to the entrance, put her bag aside, changed her shoes and walked in.
As soon as the lights were turned on, the room lit up.
The house she bought is in a good location. From here, she can see the high-rise buildings in the city center. The neon lights outside the high-rise buildings are flashing with colorful patterns.
Only when she returned here did she feel a little relaxed. She walked to the kitchen and poured herself a glass of water, sat on the sofa, and took out her mobile phone.
First open WeChat to see if there are any new job notifications.
The higher your position, the more things you have to do. Even if you get off work, your time is not yours and you still have to stretch your muscles.
She saw Ji Huai's friend application and clicked on it. Thinking of what he said, I politely said, "We're home."
The other end replied in seconds, "It's so slow, I've already taken a shower."
At the end, he also sent a sullen expression.
The emoticon was funny, and Yu Wei even chuckled, "Go to bed early and go to work tomorrow."
"When will you go to bed?" he sent.
"a while."
"When is the meeting? One or two o'clock?"
Yu Wei didn't know what to say.
Ji Huai sent another sentence, "Go to bed early, go to bed early and get up early for good health."
At the end, he sent another cute-looking emoticon.
"Um."
After seeing the message from her boss, she hurried to the study again.
