New Year.
Luo Yushu took three days off. Ji Huai was the busiest at this time. He also had to organize New Year's Day promotions in the store and worked overtime every day. Fang Qin saw that he had worked too much overtime in the previous two days and asked him to get off work and go back on time on the 3rd.
On the way, Cai Zhen called him and asked him to go to the supermarket to buy some meat.
The store had just issued a shopping card. He bought fish, shrimp and half a duck. After paying the amount, he walked home with it.
When he arrived at the door of his house, he took out his key and opened the door. Cai Zhen heard the noise and came out of the kitchen. He looked around and asked doubtfully: "Where is Xiao Shu?"
In addition to having dinner with her colleagues on New Year's Day, Luo Yushu came early these two days. Today she also sent him a message saying that Cai Zhen made milk-flavored steamed buns for her in the morning and had braised duck for lunch.
"She's sleeping in her room." Cai Zhen carried the dishes to the kitchen and said softly, "Didn't she just finish the exam a few days ago? I won't wake her up if there's nothing else, let her sleep."
Ji Huai walked to his room and opened the door. It was dark inside. There was a bulge on his bed, and not even half of the head of the person on the bed was exposed.
He stood by the bed, then sat on the edge, leaned over, and pulled back the quilt covering her head. Her little head was exposed and she woke up.
Luo Yushu's sleepy eyes looked at him with squinted eyes, and her voice dragged: "Are you back?" Before she finished speaking, she woke up again and wanted to sit up, "What time is it?"
Why is he back
"It's a surprise." Ji Huai finished speaking and said with relief, "At seven o'clock, the meal is not ready yet, so you can sleep for a while."
"It's already seven o'clock." She frowned, stretched out her hand and patted her head, feeling a little embarrassed, "I've been sleeping since three o'clock, and I'm already in a daze."
She often comes to Ji's house, and Cai Zhen also has the habit of taking a nap. At first, she was not used to sleeping in Ji Huai's room, but now she is very greedy for it. There was his breath on the quilt, which made it look extremely comfortable.
The weather has cooled down, and there is no heating in the south. Ji Huai pulled up the quilt on her body, "My mother said that you stayed up late to review for the exam a few days ago, so you need to catch up on your sleep. Besides, it's raining now, so sleep Isn’t it quite comfortable?”
"It's quite comfortable, but I'm so embarrassed." She shrugged her head, and when she saw him sitting close to him, she put her hands on his neck and leaned closer.
Ji Huai rubbed her head, smiled and teased her: "It's been so long, are you still embarrassed?"
Luo Yushu raised her hand and patted him, then leaned against him: "I'm going to sign up for a dance class after the exam. I'll do some exercise before going home after work, otherwise I'll gain weight again. This morning, after I finished my breakfast, At ten o'clock, I had yogurt mixed with fruit and two small cups of yogurt. At around two o'clock in the afternoon, my aunt made me fried taro and served it with condensed milk.
Cai Zhen can always sell cheap and delicious fruits, and she also goes to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. They are cheap and fresh. She can always make whatever she wants to eat.
She does not belong to the gene of being tall and thin, and is afraid that if she does not manage her figure, she will become like Roland and Luo's mother. She is mainly afraid of being unhealthy and letting herself go too much. Luo's mother now has three heights.
"Then go dancing. Didn't you dance very well last time? It's also good to have multiple hobbies." Ji Huai encouraged her, and then said, "But the focus during this period is on the exam, one thing at a time When things happen, don’t put too much pressure on yourself.”
"I don't even feel like I can pass the exam." She frowned, feeling a little discouraged.
At the end of December, she took the written test for the postgraduate entrance examination again. After preparing for so long, she was always a little unwilling. She wanted to try again. After telling him, he didn't object and let her try, so she signed up.
"Are you a marking teacher? Saying such depressing words affects your mood." Ji Huai pinched her nose, "If you fail to pass the exam, you want to take the exam again next year until you are satisfied with the exam."
"How many years will it be until I graduate?" Luo Yushu couldn't imagine it, so she thought for a moment and said, "But I don't want to study full-time. It's best to study on the job. I've thought about it, and this is the best."
Ji Huai supported her to go to graduate school and go back to school, but she couldn't pass the psychological test. Although Luo's father and mother would not completely object to taking money from the Luo family, the family would definitely be uneasy. Asking Ji Huai to support him or working-study himself would not be a good choice, as it would put too much pressure on him.
Ji Huai smiled: "Huh?"
Luo Yushu explained: "We don't plan to get married in the next few years. We just want to improve our academic qualifications, take exams for certificates, and lay the foundation for the future. There is still a lot of room for improvement in my job. I can change jobs or get a salary increase when the time comes."
"You know you won't get married in the next few years?" He raised his eyebrows and asked, "What if we get married early?"
She raised her head and looked at him with bright and cool eyes: "When is the early date? But we have no money, I only have 20,000 yuan."
My salary was only that small. After excluding rent, water, electricity and necessary pocket money, I saved most of the rest. After half a year, I only had 20,000 yuan.
There was so much money left because she brought meals to the company. Cai Zhen would cook for her when she had time, or she would prepare a portion for Ji Huai. Cooking by herself would be healthy and save money.
Ji Huai spoke again: "I don't care how much money you have. You should also give yourself some privacy."
When he spoke, the corners of his mouth curved up, as if he thought she was cute and silly. Luo Yushu hugged him softly and moved closer to him: "Don't give yourself any privacy. How much money do you have?"
She didn't know his salary, and Ji Huai never told her about financial matters. It had been like this since the beginning of their relationship, and the accounts between the two of them were very clear.
To be precise, she is transparent. He is very clear about her, but he is very strict with his mouth.
"I have no money." He said nothing.
"I knew it." She pretended to be angry and snorted, "You would say you have no money, and then arouse my sympathy and ask me to help you. You have been like this before."
"Yes, I have no money." Ji Huai did not deny it. Instead, he said, "I didn't ask you for relief. I just wanted everyone to save money together and get over it."
Luo Yushu: "..."
This is the first time someone has spoken so openly about letting someone accompany him to live a hard life.
Ji Huai: "How much money can I have? I'm just a poor boy, so if you want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, just take it. When I have money, we can get married."
When he said this seriously, Luo Yushu's expression became calmer. The future suddenly became uncertain, and even his feelings for her seemed uncertain.
She didn't know if she was overthinking it, because Ji Huai was very clear with her about money, but she was careless.
She bought the phone he is using now from you, she also bought several pairs of his shoes that cost thousands of dollars, and she also bought many clothes that she carefully selected online.
The big things he bought her were probably the skirt and hair accessories from the mall that day.
"It's not the first day I've known you were poor." Luo Yushu pursed his lips.
Ji Huai let go of her slightly, moved his hand back, and took the box on the table, "I'll give you a gift."
She raised her head again.
He handed her the box in his hand, which was a mobile phone.
Luo Yushu's eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked at the latest mobile phone for a while before saying, "Why did you buy me a mobile phone?"
Ji Huai: "Isn't the phone broken?"
"It's just a flickering screen. You can replace it. There's no need to buy it." She became anxious. "And this one is very expensive. Why buy the latest model?"
"Isn't the one you bought me the latest model? How many years can the latest model last?" Ji Huai stood up again, walked to the door, turned on the big light, and turned off the small light, "Don't use it if the screen is broken. , Nowadays, no one can do without their mobile phone, so it’s better to change it sooner.”
"Don't you have no money?" Luo Yushu suddenly felt uneasy about the speculation just now. He was actually very kind to her. This new model was more expensive than the one she bought for him.
"Won't you lose money after spending it?" Ji Huai didn't say much to her, and changed the topic, "I just went to the supermarket to buy hairtail, and it was just a long one you said last time. I don't know how it tastes."
"It's delicious and the meat is very tender. My aunt also bought it for lunch that day," she said.
Ji Huai narrowed his eyes: "You ate it behind my back."
"Yes, I've finished eating." Luo Yushu smiled and lowered her head to open her gift. She carefully took out her phone and looked at it carefully for a while. She looked at the phone and then at him, her eyebrows slightly raised.
Ji Huai didn't take it seriously, as if it was a casual act. He lowered his head and was replying to a colleague's message. He just said to her: "Turn on the phone and take a look. There should be no problem. Just insert the card and download it." Commonly used software.”
A colleague sent another message. Ji Huai pressed the voice button and his voice sounded: "Look at the warranty card. I remember the last time..."
Halfway through his words, he suddenly stopped.
Luo Yushu leaned towards him, her glossy pink lips pressed against his face. His Adam's apple slid up and down, and he stumbled again before saying, "His warranty card..."
What to talk about next? His mind went blank.
She seemed to notice something strange about him, she held back her laughter, put her arms around him, bent her body, moved her lips down from his face, and kissed his thin lips, her warm breath sprayed on his face, and... Asking: "What happened to the warranty card?"
Ji Huai's hand slipped and the message was sent, only half of it was said. He waved his long arm, picked the person up, lowered his head and nibbled several times.
Her skin was soft and smooth. Ji Huai's slender fingers lingered on her body, rubbing his fingertips. Luo Yushu felt itchy every time and kept hiding:
"Don't touch."
"It's so itchy."
"Stop making trouble, take your hands away."
…
She smiled and spoke with a soft and delicate touch. Ji Huai gently covered her mouth and kindly reminded: "The sound insulation effect here is very poor. People who don't know may think I have done something dirty. Keep your voice down."
Luo Yushu's face turned red again, and she took his hand away angrily: "You are just doing dirty things!"
"I didn't." He denied.
"You have."
"Then I have it." He said, preparing to plead guilty. Luo Yushu was startled and climbed into the bed. She instinctively wanted to scream out, but she thought she was not at her house, so she held it back.
Ji Huai laughed so hard that his shoulders shook slightly, he stopped teasing her, took the new phone she had put aside, and downloaded the software for her.
February.
As the Chinese New Year was approaching, Luo Yushu took her annual leave. At the same time, her written test results also came out. She passed the national line and her results were pretty good.
Roland came early to ask her when she planned to go home for the New Year. The reason was that she knew that the house cleaning would require a labor force. In the past, she would wait for her to go back before cleaning because she was diligent and endured hardships.
She is not planning to go back so early this year.
Ji Huai had to organize year-end activities in the store and had to work overtime. Ji's family was not prepared to go back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year. Firstly, his hometown was too far away, and the travel back was expensive and crowded. Secondly, he didn't have many relatives in his hometown, so he decided to celebrate the New Year locally. Anyway, the whole family is together.
She bought a lot of New Year's goods with Cai Zhen, and helped her clean the house, but she didn't do much work. Ji Huai did the heavy work, and Ji Jianhui also had Ji Jianhui, so she wiped the corners and windows.
She didn't go home until two days before the new year, and she brought some new year's goods that Cai Zhen had stuffed for her.
Roland looked surprised when he saw her.
Luo Yushu hasn't been back for half a year and has lost a lot of weight. She tied her hair into a bun and wore the hair accessories Ji Huai bought for her, which was small and unique.
She wore a khaki retro windbreaker with a belt of the same color and boots.
People don't seem to have changed, but they seem to have changed.
Cai Zhen said that she should dress up well at this age, and because she has a financial foundation, Luo Yushu is now more inclined to buy some more expensive clothes. With her temperament, she can wear them for a long time.
I was shopping with Ji Huai a few days ago. She thought it looked good to have her nails done, but she had never done it before. He did it with her, and the two of them even bought a couple, which she is wearing now.
She is fair and fair, with soft features. With a little grooming, she will be very elegant and her appearance will be two points better. Now when she walks on the street, she will turn heads.
Just walking back from the bus stop, a guy asked her for his contact information, but she didn't give it to him.
