Jiang Qingzhou pushed Huo Jinyu's head away speechlessly, and he also rushed away ten feet away. At the same time, the complaints in his heart never disappeared. If you want to talk, just talk. Why are you getting so close? I'm also curious about the taste of milk...
Can't understand.
The little white rabbit ran away. Huo Jinyu made a slightly disappointed expression, thinking that if he had moved a little faster, he would have been able to take a bite.
One bite is not enough, another...
Huo Jinyu suddenly slapped his forehead and cursed three times in a row. Is he out of his mind? Do he have rabies? Is his tooth itchy and worm-eaten
He actually wanted to bite someone's neck. Either he is mentally ill or most people are ill.
My stomach growled at an inopportune moment.
…Yes! I must be hungry, and it’s an illusion caused by hunger.
Huo Jinyu immediately gave a perfectly reasonable excuse for his impulsive behavior.
After the young master figured it out, he didn't waste a second and turned to the kitchen to find something to eat.
When I opened the refrigerator, I saw a lot of colorful things, but there was only vegetables and milk, which instantly darkened my handsome face.
Jiang Qingzhou leaned against the glass door of the kitchen with his arms folded, and coughed softly to hide the laughter that was about to burst out of his throat.
He pursed his lips tightly, met Huo Jinyu's gaze as she turned to look at him, and said with a gentle smile, "Would you like some fried eggs, Mr. Huo?"
Huo Jinyu's eyes flashed.
I lowered my head and listened to my stomach growling twice. Between pampering the little white rabbit and continuing to be hungry, between eating or not eating, I chose... to drink water to fill my stomach.
I comforted myself by thinking that the takeaway would be delivered soon and it wouldn't be a big deal if I went hungry for a while. I could not lose my principles anyway.
This was the first time that his eldest young master had carefully raised a... person, but he didn't raise one to cook for him, and the nannies of the Huo family, big and small, were not just for decoration...
Huo Jinyu, who was comforting himself, suddenly paused. How could he have forgotten about this? Xiao and Jiang Qingzhou were obviously still in need of a nanny to take care of them.
I'll call Uncle Zhang later... send him a message and ask him to get two nannies over, one to cook and the other to clean the house.
The more Huo Jinyu thought about it, the more thorough it became.
On the other hand, Jiang Qingzhou was unaware of Huo Jinyu's inner monologue at the moment. He just thought that he was thirsty and wanted to drink water, so he picked up the apron hanging on the closet and put it on, then took out a few eggs from the refrigerator.
"You..." Huo Jinyu just uttered a word, and was pushed out of the kitchen by Jiang Qingzhou. He said: "The kitchen smells heavily of oil smoke, you go to the living room for a while."
With a bang, the sliding door of the kitchen closed, and Huo Jinyu was locked outside. He was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted.
… He seemed to be driven out, and was dragged out by holding down his arms.
Huo Jinyu stared at the figure inside through the printed glass door, and the expression on his face changed several times within a few seconds.
After a moment, he snorted.
If you don't know how to enjoy your blessings, just do it for fun. When your hands become rough and your face turns yellow, and you turn into a yellow face and a rabbit, you can cry.
The eldest young master proudly returned to the sofa, lying like Ge You and playing games.
-
Five minutes later, Jiang Qingzhou brought two plates of golden fried crispy eggs to the living room. He took one of the plates short and greeted Huo Jinyu, saying, "Mr. Huo, the takeaway you ordered hasn't arrived yet. Eat two fried eggs to fill your stomach first."
Huo Jinyu withdrew his eyes from the game interface, and without even looking up, a plate of fragrant fried eggs was brought in front of him, and a pair of chopsticks was also handed to him.
His fingertips gently touched the hand that Jiang Qingzhou handed him the chopsticks. It was not at all greasy and rough after cooking as he had imagined. Instead, it was exceptionally white, clean and slender.
The neatly trimmed nails are a mellow and healthy pink, and around the edges you can see a beautiful white crescent. The more you look at it... the more pleasing the beauty is.
He is indeed the one who raised her...
"Eat, what are you daydreaming about?"
Jiang Qingzhou waved at Huo Jinyu and successfully woke him up. He hummed and said proudly, "Since you have done it, I will have a bite."
If you don’t know, you might think he was being very reluctant.
Huo Jinyu ate a poached egg in two bites. After four bites, both eggs were gone. She still felt unsatisfied.
Beside him, Jiang Qingzhou watched Huo Jinyu eating like a cow chewing a peony, his lips almost pressed into a straight line, the eyes behind the lenses were as warm as the spring breeze, shining brightly.
This scene happened to be seen by Huo Jinyu who just looked up. In a trance, Huo Jinyu felt as if he saw stars shining in the sky, dazzling and eye-catching.
Huo Jinyu stretched out his hand, trying to grab...
Jiang Qingzhou thought Huo Jinyu hadn't eaten enough, so he turned around and picked up another poached egg for Huo Jinyu.
The hand that was grabbing the stars stopped in mid-air. Huo Jinyu looked at his hand, then looked at himself, and once again wondered if he was mentally ill.
He quietly stood up and moved to another place, sitting down at the dining table, only occasionally looking up to glance at Jiang Qingzhou who was sitting opposite him.
Jiang Qingzhou naturally noticed such a strange behavior. He frowned and looked at Huo Jinyu's strange eyes, and asked casually: "Is there something on my face?"
“…No.” Huo Jinyu replied vaguely with two words, his eyes flickering.
If not, then no.
Jiang Qingzhou didn't take it to heart, because he was thinking about another thing, so he had to ask: "Are you still going to tomorrow's... final?"
Huo Jinyu nodded, meaning to go.
Jiang Qingzhou was about to speak but stopped, and advised: "... Can you not participate in that dangerous competition tomorrow?"
Huo Jinyu raised her eyebrows, perhaps a little surprised to hear this. She put down her chopsticks and smiled at Jiang Qingzhou, saying, "Do you know how much my appearance fee was for that racing competition?"
"?" Jiang Qingzhou was dumbfounded. There was even an appearance fee. "... How much?"
"The appearance fee is one million, which is given by the club. It's not much, but it's better than nothing. The bulk of it comes from the prizes added by us racers, whether it's movable property, immovable property, or cash, and the market value must be more than ten million."
Jiang Qingzhou sighed, thinking about the live broadcast of the race tonight, a group of ten racers, so... the game that Huo Jinyu won today, didn't it mean he won at least 100 million.
Next, Huo Jinyu's words also confirmed his guess.
"So, after winning a game, I will start with... 100 million in income."
One hundred million, that's easy to say.
“Since the year I got my racing license, I have never lost a race as long as I am on the track.”
There are exceptions to everything, young man. You are very powerful and have never lost, but the hero is more powerful than you. After all, the hero's profound and unfathomable inner strength is not for show, nor is it just for show!
"Ye Tianyu will also enter the finals tomorrow. I'm afraid... you will meet him." Jiang Qingzhou said worriedly, his brows slightly furrowed, looking worried.
Last time we were lucky that no fight broke out, but this time it might not be the case. Unfortunately, he has to go home tomorrow and cannot follow up the situation anytime and anywhere.
It would have been fine if Jiang Qingzhou didn't mention Ye Tianyu. As soon as he mentioned him, the expression on Huo Jinyu's face instantly changed from sunny to rainy and snowy. It was cold and chilly, and the tone of his voice seemed to be filled with ice beans.
"I've met him, so why should I be afraid of that poor fellow?!"
"… "
Jiang Qingzhou smiled suddenly, and all the sadness in his eyes disappeared.
He had expected Huo Jinyu's stress reaction. The fact that he was so angry that he started to curse showed that Huo Jinyu could still communicate rationally at this moment.
Instead, it was his smile that confused Huo Jinyu. She felt a breath of air stuck in her chest, unable to go up or down, and she felt anxious.
"why are you laughing?"
"You look so cute~" Jiang Qingzhou blurted out.
"… "
In an instant, a blush passed across Huo Jinyu's face.
Just now, after Jiang Qingzhou said this, he had already sighed in his heart. He blurted out the truth in a moment of haste. However, when he saw that Huo Jinyu actually blushed with shyness just because he praised her for being cute.
It's such a cute contrast.
Really cute. Jiang Qingzhou repeated it in his mind. Who would have thought that a rich young man like Huo Jinyu would have such a pure side? Just being praised... blushing
Ha ha ha ha…
As a result of laughing too happily, his face was in trouble again. Huo Jinyu leaned forward opposite him, and with lightning speed, one hand crossed the dining table and pinched one side of his face too skillfully.
"Let... go..." Jiang Qingzhou said in an unstable voice. He took some effort to save his face. He rubbed his cheek which was obviously warmer than the other half of his face. He glanced at Huo Jinyu who was sitting opposite him with a look of condemnation and accusation.
Huo Jinyu raised her eyebrows, the curve of her lips deepened, and she said to Jiang Qingzhou slowly: "Look at this little blushing face, it looks so cute!"
The kernel remains intact, with only slight changes to the statements.
Huo Jinyu deliberately dragged his voice, spoke very slowly, and used a rude tone. He changed what Jiang Qingzhou had just said and greeted him back with a bad taste.
After a pause, he chuckled meaningfully, "Are you still laughing?"
"..." Jiang Qingzhou rolled his eyes and complained that Huo Jinyu was too boring. As for that, he just laughed twice and couldn't help but replied: "If you hadn't scolded Ye Tianyu, I wouldn't... laugh."
Huo Jinyu pretended to pinch him again, and Jiang Qingzhou was so scared that he immediately dropped his chopsticks and ran three meters away from Huo Jinyu. The look he gave Huo Jinyu from afar was still a bit vigilant, as if to say "Don't pinch his face again, or he will get angry."
Huo Jinyu stared at Jiang Qingzhou, who was teased by him like a little rabbit but dared not say anything. He turned his head and laughed softly, "Why are you running so far? I won't eat you."
When Jiang Qingzhou heard the familiar tone, he decisively stepped back a few meters. He had been fooled once in the car last time. If he believed Huo Jinyu's words again this time, he would be a fool.
Seeing that Jiang Qingzhou was about to hide on the balcony, Huo Jinyu's smile did not fade at all, and she added lazily: "You seemed to have said just now that you don't want me to participate in tomorrow's racing finals. Are you sure I will listen if you talk to me from such a distance?"
The young master grasped the skin on the back of Jiang Qingzhou's neck accurately.
Jiang Qingzhou: "... ?!?"
The dilemma only lasted for about two seconds. Jiang Qingzhou pretended to cough a few times, then sat back at the dining table as if nothing had happened, and gave Huo Jinyu a gentle and reserved smile.
"Is this distance okay, Mr. Huo?"
"Go ahead." Huo Jinyu tapped the table with her fingers, meaning that Jiang Qingzhou could speak up and explain why he didn't want him to participate in tomorrow's competition. "By the way... don't use the excuse that the competition is dangerous to evade me."
Jiang Qingzhou nodded in a very "well-behaved and obedient" manner. He did not respond immediately, but instead said, "Do you know why I bought Ye Tianyu for the second race today?"
Hearing Jiang Qingzhou mention Ye Tianyu again, Huo Jinyu's face suddenly turned gloomy, and a hint of coldness flashed across his dark eyes, but he quickly suppressed it and uttered two words in a concise manner: "Continue."
"A novice who knows nothing about racing has won five games in a row tonight. Mr. Huo, do you think this is just good luck, or... some kind of coincidence?"
In order to advance by retreating, Jiang Qingzhou threw out questions one by one, which in return made Huo Jinyu remain silent.
Huo Jinyu has always scoffed at the concepts of luck and fortune. There are not so many coincidences in the world without any reason. Once there are too many coincidences... the first thing to consider is whether there is any calculation involved, or perhaps it is a long-planned one.
So, he cast his gaze on Jiang Qingzhou, without blinking, waiting for Jiang Qingzhou to continue speaking.
The two sat face to face, their eyes met. Jiang Qingzhou chose his words carefully, his voice steady, and spoke again: "If I say that in tomorrow's official finals, Ye Tianyu will successfully advance, and then enter the finals, and win the championship of this racing competition, would you believe it?"
Huo Jinyu didn't say he believed it, nor did he say he didn't believe it. He just knocked on the table again, frowned slightly and asked, "Reason?"
Jiang Qingzhou sat up straight and said seriously, "If I say this is just my intuition, would you find it... ridiculous?"
As soon as he said this, Jiang Qingzhou felt that Huo Jinyu was looking at him, looking him up and down. The look on his face was both scrutinizing and probing.
Jiang Qingzhou was calm and composed, allowing Huo Jinyu to look at him. He looked calm from beginning to end, with a smile on his lips.
Huo Jinyu stared at Jiang Qingzhou for a moment before slowly saying two words: "No."
Hearing this, Jiang Qingzhou heaved a sigh of relief, and the inexplicable tension in his heart receded like a tide. It seems that as long as Huo Jinyu doesn't confront the male protagonist head-on, her IQ is normal.
Jiang Qingzhou coughed lightly and cleared his throat. He couldn't help wanting to get to the bottom of it, so he suddenly said, "I thought you wouldn't believe it?"
Unexpectedly, he got a definite "no", which indirectly shows that he and Huo Jinyu should have been getting along well in the past month.
Well! We can keep working hard to make their relationship better and their feelings stronger. It would be even better if we can become good friends with Huo Jinyu.
He is thinking about the future and thinking deeply.
Over there, Huo Jinyu placed both his hands on the dining table and raised his eyebrows slightly at Jiang Qingzhou, who had a somewhat absent-minded look on his face. It seemed like a very frivolous and flippant action, but he explained it in a serious tone. Combined with his overly handsome and luxurious face, it actually highlighted a different kind of gentlemanly demeanor.
"Have you ever seen a rabbit lie?"
“…” This sentence has a double meaning and heavy connotation.
Jiang Qingzhou rolled his eyes subconsciously. Could he please talk properly? Why did he bring up the rabbit again? Could he let the poor rabbit go
"I'm not a rabbit." Jiang Qingzhou corrected Huo Jinyu's distorted worldview word by word.
"I didn't mention any names." Huo Jinyu spread his hands and blinked innocently, saying, "You took it for granted. I didn't say anything."
There were only him and Huo Jinyu at the scene. Doesn't this constitute "naming and shaming"
Jiang Qingzhou took a deep breath... Never mind, it wasn't that important whether it was a rabbit or not. The most important thing was that Huo Jinyu could believe what he said.
If pretending to be a rabbit can really make Huo Jinyu not participate in tomorrow's finals, then... No... No...
As long as you don't get involved with the male lead, everything can be discussed.
"Um... can you not go to tomorrow's final?" As long as Huo Jinyu was persuaded not to participate in the final, Huo Jinyu would definitely not be included in the final in the second half of the night.
Neither of them would go, so as to eliminate the possibility of the two of them becoming enemies at the source. This would not only reduce a reason for Huo Jinyu to turn evil in the future, but also prevent the possibility of Huo Jinyu confronting the male protagonist head-on tomorrow.
After all, it is described in the book that Huo Jinyu lost to the hero in the racing competition, and she was not convinced, and her disgust and hatred towards the hero soared, which was equivalent to foreshadowing her future blackening.
He wanted to persuade her, but Huo Jinyu wouldn't listen to him.
"Why not?" Huo Jinyu asked back, lowering her eyes and adjusting her sleeves very elegantly, then spoke slowly, "It's one thing to believe in your intuition, but whether your intuition is accurate is another."
Jiang Qingzhou: “…” The summary is so insightful that it is impossible to refute it.
But! You don’t have to summarize.
Huo Jinyu snorted again, with a fierce look in his eyes: "I'm glad he went. Do you think I would miss this opportunity to trample that poor guy under my feet in a normal and bright way?"
"What if... you lose?"
Huo Jinyu's face darkened for a second, because he was angry: "It helps others to be more ambitious, but it destroys your own prestige. Don't forget who you belong to."
"It's your man." Jiang Qingzhou quickly coaxed her, "I know it in my heart, but I said just in case, what if I lose?"
"No chance of that happening!" Huo Jinyu said firmly.
Seeing that direct persuasion didn't work, Jiang Qingzhou had to use a roundabout way of persuasion. Thinking of Huo Jinyu's insistence that he was a rabbit, Jiang Qingzhou gritted his teeth and decided to take a gamble.
"… If I… Ugh! Wear a bunny costume for you, can you please not attend the final tomorrow?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Qingzhou saw a light suddenly flash in Huo Jinyu's eyes, and then just when Jiang Qingzhou was relieved that it should work.
"Of course... No." Huo Jinyu said slowly, with the meaning of the first and second half being completely opposite.
If it's not possible, then it's not possible. Why do you have to add "of course" in front of it to fool people? Jiang Qingzhou curled his lips and decided to unilaterally block Huo Jinyu.
Because I feel sad.
"If I win tomorrow, I'll buy you a bunny costume." Huo Jinyu spoke in a domineering and good mood.
Obviously, the young master wants it all. He wants to go to tomorrow's finals and he also wants the bunny costume.
Don’t ask, the answer is that all adults want it.
Jiang Qingzhou almost blurted out "Thank you". He had seen people telling lies with their eyes open, but he had never seen someone telling lies with such a righteous attitude. It was too...
Half of Jiang Qingzhou's rationality made him shut his mouth in time and swallow the "language art" that he could only complain about secretly in his heart and could not see the light of day.
He first pulled Huo Jinyu out of the blacklist, pulled the corner of his lip slightly stiffly, and finally continued Huo Jinyu's excited words just now, saying in an extremely serious and regretful tone: "It should be impossible to wear it. My intuition has never been wrong."
"Intuition? I never believe in that stuff." Huo Jinyu leaned against the back of the chair behind him, clenched one hand into a fist, and looked complacent. "Just relying on that poor guy, he didn't even look in the mirror to see what kind of person he is. He didn't think he was invincible just because he won once? Ha! Naive!"
"Okay..." Jiang Qingzhou paused and said, "Don't cry if you lose~~~"
The last "oh" was dragged out for a very long time, as if to say "wait and see", "I'm waiting for your good news", "but it's hard to say whether it's good news or not".
Huo Jinyu was so excited that he slammed the table and stood up, showing an unprecedented competitive spirit: "I win, you have to wear the bunny costume for me for a month."
"Okay!" Jiang Qingzhou gave him an "OK" gesture, "Don't even mention wearing it for a month, you can even wear it for a year."
The premise is that you can win.
After persuading him for a long time, Huo Jinyu still insisted on going. Jiang Qingzhou was thinking whether to start with the male lead. After thinking for a while, he shook his head. If Huo Jinyu knew that he had secretly gone to see the male lead behind his back...
Forget it, forget it. Let’s just take it one step at a time. If the male owner sees it, he will be caught by Huo Jinyu and locked up in a small dark room.
Huo Jinyu's interest was completely piqued by Jiang Qingzhou's words that she could wear it for a year. She turned around, sat on the sofa, picked up her phone and started typing.
Suddenly, he seemed to remember something important, and looked up at Jiang Qingzhou who was cleaning the table and said, "Give me your bank card number, and I'll transfer some pocket money to you."
"No, I..."
"Just report it when I asked you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?" Huo Jinyu interrupted impatiently. "The money you have is not even enough for a meal. If people knew about this, they would think I'm bankrupt."
The corners of Jiang Qingzhou's lips twitched slightly, and under Huo Jinyu's pressing gaze, he gave out his card number.
Half a minute later, he received a text message on his mobile phone:
[RMB 10,000,000.00 was deposited into your account with the last digit 5006 at 00:22 on September 30, and the balance is…]
Jiang Qingzhou was almost dazzled by the series of "0"s. He counted them several times and each time it was ten million.
Oh my god!
"... Did you make a wrong turn?" Jiang Qingzhou swallowed his saliva and spoke with difficulty.
I know your eldest master is rich, but after all, he and Huo Jinyu are just classmates, and they have no relatives or friends, so he can accept this huge sum of 10 million with peace of mind.
Sorry! He can't do it.
Jiang Qingzhou looked down at his own limbs, including hands and feet, and felt that it would be more practical to earn his own money and spend it himself.
But if I don't accept it, Huo Jinyu will probably be as gloomy as Bao Gong... Oh! I'd better keep it for now. I'll just put it in the card and return it when I have the chance.
In just a few seconds, many thoughts flashed through Jiang Qingzhou's mind.
Huo Jinyu didn't notice it, but he could tell that there was something wrong with Jiang Qingzhou's tone, so he looked up and asked, "Is it missing?"
"?" Jiang Qingzhou reacted and shook his head suddenly, "No, no, no, no... a lot, I mean too much."
"What's more? My weekly pocket money is more than this amount," Huo Jinyu said, lowering her head to fiddle with his phone again, and said without looking up, "I will transfer some money to you every month in the future."
He transfers some money every month, which really shows that he has considered everything for him. Jiang Qingzhou glanced at Huo Jinyu with a strange look, not knowing what he was busy with.
If Huo Jinyu wasn't of normal sexual orientation, he would have thought that Huo Jinyu was planning to support him... Uh, um
It seems that she is indeed keeping him as a mistress. Don’t think that he can’t see that Huo Jinyu is treating him like a pet rabbit.
Just now he suggested that he could wear a bunny costume. When Huo Jinyu heard this, his eyes sparkled, brighter than a light bulb.
Seeing through it but not saying it, let Huo Jinyu do whatever she wants, but this every month...
"You don't have to transfer it every month. I don't have many places to spend money." Jiang Qingzhou politely refused Huo Jinyu, "If I am short of money, I will definitely ask you for it. I won't be embarrassed to ask."
Ten million is too hot to hold. I don't know where to put it. It keeps turning over month after month... Well! I don't need to work for the rest of my life. I can just lie down and do nothing.
Huo Jinyu uttered an "oh" and suddenly said, "This money today is for your hard work."
Jiang Qingzhou... He paused for a moment. If Huo Jinyu hadn't mentioned it, he would have forgotten that he did seem to have said today that if he won the bet, he could give a little hard work fee or something like that.
Huo Jinyu not only gave it to him, but also generously gave him a huge sum of money. Jiang Qingzhou suddenly felt that the 10 million had a different meaning.
Pocket money = hard work fee = his own reward.
Hey, his money.
Jiang Qingzhou's mentality also changed accordingly. Just now he felt that 10 million was too hot to handle, but now he was only happy and joyful.
He had checked online, and the rent for the house he was living in now, including the rent for the supermarket, was about... 30 million.
So his original plan was to run the supermarket business well and earn 30 million in the next 15 years. Once he paid back the money, he would feel more at ease living in the house.
After some calculations... He already had 10 million in his hand now, which shortened the originally planned 15 years by five years. He thought that in 10 years, he would be able to pay back the money he owed Huo Jinyu.
By then, I will be debt-free and maybe I can even take Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang out for a trip or something to show my filial piety.
Jiang Qingzhou was enjoying himself and looking forward to the leisurely days in the future when he suddenly felt a hit on his forehead. When he came to his senses, he saw Huo Jinyu shaking her head at him.
"Everyone is laughing silly."
"… "
"But, being silly is very cute."
"… "
Jiang Qingzhou cleaned up the dishes and went back to the kitchen without even turning back. As long as he didn't respond, it wasn't him that was being talked about.
After a while, the special effects of the game background and the reminder sound of the game recharge arriving were heard in the living room.
In the kitchen, Jiang Qingzhou couldn't help but smile, and suddenly felt... Huo Jinyu was pretty good like this.
Carefree and unrestrained.
If possible, he hopes Huo Jinyu will live like this for the rest of her life, forever and ever.
-
It was already 1:30 in the morning when the takeaway was delivered. After having a real midnight snack, the two went back to their rooms and slept until dawn.
In the morning, around seven o'clock, the doorbell rang outside the house.
Jiang Qingzhou went to open the door. Outside the door was Aunt Fang's familiar face and two unfamiliar faces. All three of them were carrying large and small bags of things.
"Aunt Fang." Jiang Qingzhou called out, and then invited the three of them into the house.
After entering the house, Aunt Fang put down the things in her hands and smiled as she introduced to Jiang Qingzhou the two women who were about her age and whom she had brought with her.
"Xiao Jiang, come here! Let me introduce you... Aunt Zhou and Aunt Wang were brought here by housekeeper Zhang. From now on, Aunt Zhou will be responsible for the laundry and cleaning of this house, and Aunt Wang will be responsible for your three meals a day."
Jiang Qingzhou heard what Aunt Fang meant and realized that the two people were the nannies sent by Uncle Zhang. He immediately declined politely, "Aunt Fang, please go back and tell Uncle Zhang that I received his kindness and I am very grateful."
"It's just some normal housework. I can do it myself. There's no need to hire a nanny to take care of me."
After Jiang Qingzhou finished speaking, Aunt Fang smiled and said, "The two nannies were ordered by the Fourth Master."
The Fourth Master's order successfully shut Jiang Qingzhou up, and he sighed softly while holding his forehead with his hand. How could he be so worthy of such a reward? He was actually assigned two nannies, and the kind with clear division of labor.
Jiang Qingzhou thought with the back of his head, and he knew why Huo Jinyu was in this posture. If nothing unexpected happened, in Huo Jinyu's eyes, he should be a "weak and unable to take care of himself" who especially needed someone to take care of him... a rabbit.
I can't think about it anymore, or my CPU will burn out again.
I'll find some time to talk to Huo Jinyu later and see if I can get these two nannies back. He really doesn't need them.
After they had breakfast, on the way to school, Jiang Qingzhou told Huo Jinyu his thoughts.
I said it, but it was useless.
Huo Jinyu just replied to him with a meaningful smile: "Little white rabbits need to be pampered to be beautiful."
Sure enough, his intuition was correct. Huo Jinyu really intended to treat him like a rabbit.
Jiang Qingzhou smiled back politely and said, "As long as you are happy."
The eldest young master was in high spirits, and his steps were like those of a crab, "not recognizing any relatives" and "acting tyrannically".
During the first class in the morning, after class was over, Huo Jinyu went out and came back with a murderous aura and an extremely gloomy look on his face.
With a "bang", a beautifully packaged jewelry box was thrown onto Jiang Qingzhou's desk.
Jiang Qingzhou looked at the familiar jewelry box, and then at Huo Jinyu's face, which was darker than ink. Even a fool could see that the heroine had confiscated the gift from Huo Jinyu.
"…Student Huo, failure is the mother of success. If you keep working hard and don't get discouraged, you will definitely… get what you want."
Jiang Qingzhou patted Huo Jinyu's shoulder to comfort him.
Huo Jinyu snorted: "You tell me."
Then, he leaned back in his seat and played games as usual.
Jiang Qingzhou glanced at him from time to time, and seeing that Huo Jinyu's expression had gradually returned to normal, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Sometimes, he really admired Huo Jinyu's perseverance from the bottom of his heart. He was rejected by the heroine so many times but still remained true to his original intention. If it were him...
He definitely can't do it.
Considering that Huo Jinyu had suffered another "broken heart" today, Jiang Qingzhou took extra care of Huo Jinyu's emotions throughout the day, and even moved his face closer to let her pinch him.
At the end of the day, my cheeks looked just like they were painted with blush.
Of course, hard work pays off. After school in the afternoon, Huo Jinyu personally drove him to the high-speed rail station.
Because tomorrow is National Day, there are cars coming and going and people crowded at the high-speed railway station intersection. At a glance, the high-speed railway station is filled with nothing but cars and people. It is so noisy that any quiet voice cannot be heard.
Jiang Qingzhou signaled Huo Jinyu to stop the car on the side of the road and just drop him off there.
Huo Jinyu glanced at the traffic outside the car window. There was a traffic jam ahead and his car couldn't get in. He reached out and lightly touched the control button on the passenger seat, saying, "Eat more when you get home. Don't starve yourself to death. It won't look good."
Jiang Qingzhou nodded obediently like a chicken pecking at rice: "I know."
After saying goodbye to Huo Jinyu, Jiang Qingzhou followed the crowded crowd into the high-speed rail station, carrying a suitcase in each hand.
The train departed at 18:56 and arrived in Nanning at around 1:00 in the morning. Almost as soon as he stepped out of the subway station, Jiang Qingzhou received a call from Uncle Jiang.
"—Zhou Zhou, have you arrived yet?"
"Uncle, I'm here. I've already left the station."
"—Okay, uncle is waiting for you outside the station... Zhou Zhou! Here, here, uncle is here..."
Uncle Jiang waved desperately, obviously he saw his nephew in the crowd at a glance.
Similarly, Jiang Qingzhou also saw Uncle Jiang, who was wearing a gray short-sleeved T-shirt on the upper body and black shorts on the lower body, and his clothes were popular.
He walked over quickly. At this moment, the face of Uncle Jiang in the original owner's memory kept flashing in his mind, and finally stopped at the face in front of him, which had gone through nearly half a century of vicissitudes of life, but was still kind and amiable.
Jiang Qingzhou blurted out "Uncle".
"Hey!" Uncle Jiang smiled until his face was wrinkled, his eyes were filled with joy that could not be expressed in words, and he stretched out his hands to take the two suitcases from Jiang Qingzhou's hands, "Here, uncle, carry them, Zhou Zhou has had a hard time riding the bus."
Uncle Jiang's ordinary words of concern made Jiang Qingzhou's eyes slightly red. Uncle Jiang is really a very good uncle, as is Aunt Jiang, and the two daughters of the Jiang family.
A family of kind people.
After the original owner's parents passed away, they took the original owner home and took good care of her. They treated the original owner and their two daughters equally. The three children basically enjoyed the same treatment at home. In fact, because the original owner lost her parents at a young age, the two daughters of the Jiang family were particularly distressed about the original owner.
Therefore, the original owner was the most favored person in the Jiang family.
Jiang Qingzhou got on Uncle Jiang's pickup truck. Uncle Jiang's home was in a small town called Lianhua Town under Nanning City. Lianhua Town was about 30 kilometers away from Nanning City, and a round trip took an hour.
It was almost two o'clock in the morning when I arrived at Jiang's Grocery Store. From a distance I could see the light box above the store door was on. Looking up through the door and windows, I saw that the lights on the second floor were also on.
"Zhou Zhou is back."
Aunt Jiang was wearing cotton silk pajamas as a home wear, standing under the bright light box of the grocery store. Her face was just as kind and amiable as Uncle Jiang's. She happily waved and shouted to Jiang Qingzhou who was getting off the car.
"Come here quickly and let Auntie take a look. Oh my... You've lost weight, but your complexion looks really good. The water and soil of Kyoto are good for us."
"Zhou Zhou, you haven't eaten yet? Are you hungry? Auntie has prepared a table of your favorite dishes. Let's go upstairs and eat."
Aunt Jiang took Jiang Qingzhou's hand, looked him up and down, nodded and shook her head, and spoke words of concern one after another. Then, as she spoke, she pulled Jiang Qingzhou up to the living room on the second floor.
Uncle Jiang was the last one to walk in. After closing the door, he carried two suitcases upstairs.
The noise downstairs woke up the two sisters who were sleeping in the room. Jiang Yuehong and Jiang Yueying, wearing the same style but different colored ice silk pajamas, came out one after the other, yawning and opened their mouths to greet Jiang Qingzhou, one calling him Zhou Zhou and the other calling him "little brother".
Jiang Qingzhou smiled and called back, "Sister Yuehong, Yueying."
There are two sisters in the Jiang family. The elder sister, Jiang Yuehong, is 28 years old this year. She has a pretty face and graceful temperament. She is a kindergarten teacher.
My younger sister Jiang Yueying, seventeen years old, is pretty and lively. She is currently in her second year of high school.
After the two sisters greeted each other, they urged Jiang Qingzhou to eat, thinking that Jiang Qingzhou must be starving after sitting on the high-speed train for half a day.
"Zhou Zhou is back. Are you hungry? Mom prepared a table full of delicious food for you... I just reheated it. Eat something first."
"Yeah. Mom has been busy since early morning. Look! They are all your favorite foods."
Jiang Qingzhou was pushed by the enthusiastic Jiang Yueying to sit in front of the octagonal table. The table was full of dishes, both meat and vegetarian, which were indeed the original owner's favorite dishes.
The original owner had the same taste as him, so all the dishes on the table were his favorites.
Because he came back the latest and the Jiang family had already eaten, they all sat around the eight-immortal table during dinner, watching him eat and chatting about family matters.
The Jiang family did not have the habit of not talking while eating or sleeping. At the dinner table, the eight eyes of the four members of the Jiang family were all on Jiang Qingzhou, and the content of the conversation revolved around Jiang Qingzhou.
Ask about how Kyoto is, whether Kyoto University students are pretty, whether you get along well with your classmates, whether you keep up with your studies, and other such casual chats.
Every word was filled with the Jiang family's selfless care and love for Jiang Qingzhou.
For every sentence the Jiang family members said, Jiang Qingzhou would reply. After asking and answering, he was full.
"Brother, you have new glasses..." Suddenly, Jiang Yueying pointed at the glasses on Jiang Qingzhou's nose, with a bright smile on her pretty face, "The glasses are so delicate and beautiful. Brother, your beauty kills me."
Her little brother really changes a lot as he grows up. He becomes more and more handsome. He is a perfect little brother, hers.
Jiang Qingzhou responded vaguely.
Jiang Yuehong also stared at the glasses again and again, nodding repeatedly and saying, "Yes, they look good! They look noble and elegant."
"Yeah!" Jiang Yueying nodded heavily in agreement, and took Jiang Yuehong's arm, as if she had met a soulmate in life. "Unfortunately, my eyesight is normal, otherwise I could have the same pair of glasses as you."
Jiang Yueying said this and looked at him with regret. The boy's glasses really touched her and she really wanted to have the same pair of glasses as him.
Why isn’t she nearsighted
Jiang Qingzhou encouraged: "Yueying likes it. If you are admitted to Beijing University next year, I will buy you a pair of glasses without prescription."
Jiang Yueying smiled happily and clenched her fist in response: "Don't worry, little brother, I will definitely be admitted to Beijing University."
She wants to learn from her brother and get the admission letter from Kyoto University so that she can continue to study in the same university as him next year.
"By the way, little brother..." Jiang Yueying stretched out her hand towards Jiang Qingzhou, "Where's the gift? Little brother, you promised to buy me a gift, did you buy it? Did you buy it?"
Jiang Qingzhou smiled and patted the hand that was stretched out in front of him: "I bought it, it's in the suitcase."
"Ahh... I want to see what you bought for me, little brother? I'm so excited~"
When Jiang Yueying heard that Jiang Qingzhou brought him a gift from Kyoto, she immediately went to look through the suitcase happily.
Uncle Jiang had already sent the two suitcases to Jiang Qingzhou's room. Jiang Yueying walked into the room and saw the two suitcases. She turned around and shouted, "Brother, which suitcase is it in?"
"The big suitcase."
In the room, Jiang Yueying opened the suitcase and was stunned. Ah... Chanel!
She had heard her classmates discuss this brand of cosmetics, which was extremely expensive, with even a small bottle costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars.
There is actually a complete set here, and more than one set. Jiang Yueying counted them and found that there are three sets in total, and they are different types of skin care.
Eh? This is... the gold of the Phoenix Tower
Jiang Yueying opened the square jewelry box and found a set of glittering gold jewelry inside.
Oh my god! Why are there so many valuables in the young man's suitcase? Jiang Yueying quickly put the jewelry box back and didn't dare to continue searching.
She turned around and saw the young man coming in. He smiled and said to her, "The things in this suitcase are all gifts for you."
Jiang Yueying: “???” Oh my God! No way!
Those things she just saw... couldn't they all be gifts bought by the young man
Jiang Qingzhou walked over and gave Jiang Yueying one of the cosmetics, a jewelry box, and a handbag: "These are the gifts that I brought you. Do you like them?"
"..." Jiang Yueying took a breath in disbelief, her eyes gradually widening, "Brother, have you made a fortune?"
"Yueying is really smart. She can tell at a glance that the young man has made a fortune." Jiang Qingzhou's lips curled up into a warm smile, radiant and gorgeous. "Put it on and show it to the young man. See if it looks beautiful."
The "wearing" that Jiang Qingzhou mentioned was the set of three golds.
"—What fortune?"
At the door, Aunt Jiang poked her head in and said, "Yueying, it's already late. Don't disturb your brother's rest. We can talk about it tomorrow if there's anything."
"Oh my god! My brother got rich, look!? He bought me... Chanel cosmetics, and this Fenghuang Minglou gold."
Aunt Jiang: “…” What
The next second, Uncle Jiang and Jiang Yuehong also came over, obviously they also heard what Jiang Yueying said just now.
Jiang Qingzhou coughed lightly, met the Jiang family's fiery gazes, and explained: "I opened a supermarket with a classmate. He paid for it, and I managed it. I made some money."
The Jiang family members couldn't help but look at each other in surprise, perhaps they couldn't believe that such a good thing could happen in the world.
After a while, Uncle Jiang still felt a little worried and asked, "Is it reliable? Zhou Zhou... Is your classmate reliable?"
Jiang Qingzhou replied to Uncle Jiang with a resolute look: "My classmate... his family is quite rich, and he wants to start a business, but he doesn't know how to manage it, so he asked me to manage it, and the net profit of the supermarket, uh... we split it 50-50."
It sounded quite reliable. Uncle Jiang kept asking, but because he trusted his nephew, he didn't ask any more questions.
My child has grown up and started a business with his classmates. This is a good thing, but...
"Zhou Zhou, I don't object to you starting a business with your classmates." Uncle Jiang said earnestly, "But I still think that your studies are the most important."
"Uncle doesn't ask you to get rich, but only hopes that you can finish college well and find a job in a big company after graduation. It's best to have a stable job in an office, with five insurances and one fund, and you can have holidays during the holidays. Come back and have a good reunion with our family."
"Uncle doesn't want you. I don't want you to work hard like me, getting up early and going to bed late to earn money, staying in the store all year round and not being able to go anywhere."
Uncle Jiang has worked hard for half his life to run the small shop he opened, so naturally he doesn't want his nephew to be like him in the future. No matter whether he runs a small shop or a supermarket, this business seems to make some money, but it is actually hard-earned money that requires getting up early and working late.
I am busy all year round.
"Zhou Zhou, listen to your uncle. Running a supermarket is too tiring. It's better to go to work and it's easier. I heard that most large companies have annual leave, and the leave is quite a few days. This way, you can come home every New Year and other holidays."
Aunt Jiang also spoke after Uncle Jiang. She and Uncle Jiang obviously had the same idea. They didn't want their nephew to be as tired as they were running a supermarket. They just wanted their nephew to work for a big company after graduation and be a comfortable office worker.
"I know." Jiang Qingzhou nodded obediently, "After graduating from university, I will definitely find a job that matches my major. I won't keep running a supermarket."
"In the beginning... I opened a supermarket with my classmates just to earn some living expenses, but I didn't expect the supermarket business to be so good."
Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang felt relieved when they heard this.
Jiang Yueying was quite interested in the supermarket that Jiang Qingzhou mentioned. After all, Uncle Jiang and Aunt Jiang started out as a small shop. She had been influenced by them since she was a child and had a strong desire to do business. She even dreamed of opening a big supermarket when she grew up.
"Hey, how big is the supermarket you and your classmate opened? Is it really profitable to open a supermarket?"
"It is indeed quite profitable," Jiang Qingzhou said without hesitation, "The supermarket is of medium size, about 200 square meters."
Jiang Yueying immediately exclaimed "Wow!" "It's 200 square meters, three times bigger than the small shop at home."
No wonder the guy gave her Chanel cosmetics and beautiful gold jewelry.
Jiang Yueying touched the three-piece gold jewelry inlaid with gold and jade in the jewelry box: a gold necklace in the shape of a gold locket; a pair of earrings in the shape of a jade gourd; and a gold bracelet in the shape of a zodiac dog.
She couldn't let it go and touched it again and again, then happily asked Aunt Jiang to put it on her, repeatedly asking her family, "Is it beautiful?"
It received unanimous praise from the Jiang family.
Jiang Qingzhou smiled and gave the remaining two jewelry boxes, one to Aunt Jiang and one to Jiang Yuehong: "Aunt, Sister Yuehong, I bought these for you, try them on and have a look."
Aunt Jiang scolded him, but her eyes were full of smiles: "You kid, why did you buy it for me too? It's not easy for you to earn a few bucks managing a supermarket for your classmates. Don't do it again next time!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Jiang Qingzhou responded with a smile on his lips.
Aunt Jiang opened it and saw, wow, what a thick bracelet, with an oval-shaped body, a dragon and a phoenix facing each other at one end and the other end, exquisitely crafted and elegant; a pair of oval-shaped gold earrings, of standard style; and a gold necklace with a pearl chain and a zodiac rabbit hanging underneath.
Aunt Jiang touched the lifelike little rabbit with her rough fingers, and her eyes became moist. Zhou Zhou is a thoughtful child.
Jiang Yuehong also opened her jewelry box, which contained the same three-piece gold set: a snake-bone chain-style gold necklace that was so long that it could be wrapped around twice; a pair of little gold pig earrings holding gold ingots; and a gold bracelet with a Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains patterned on it.
The three people who received the three golds were all very fond of their gifts, which showed that Jiang Qingzhou's gifts touched their hearts.
Jiang Qingzhou turned around and took out a smaller jewelry box from the suitcase and stuffed it into Uncle Jiang's hand. Uncle Jiang was stunned for a rare moment, and he stammered, "I, I... I have a share too?"
Jiang Qingzhou hummed: "Of course!"
Uncle Jiang was so excited that his face turned red. He opened the jewelry box with shaking hands. Inside was a gold coin bead Pixiu bracelet. He put it on his hand and held it in front of Aunt Jiang, showing off, "Look! Zhou Zhou bought it for me. Our Zhou Zhou has good taste. Look at how luxurious this Pixiu is... It will definitely protect the house and keep it safe."
"Why are you so conceited? Zhou Zhou also bought me three gold items!" Aunt Jiang was so happy wearing the three gold items her nephew bought for her.
When she and Uncle Jiang got married, both families were not well off, so they did not buy any gold jewelry at the time of their marriage. Later, when they had children, the family expenses increased, and they could forget about buying gold jewelry.
Later, with three children to support at home, she wanted to spend every penny carefully. Let alone gold jewelry, she was reluctant to buy even silver jewelry that cost a few dollars per gram.
In a blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed. Every time she sees her peers wearing gold and jade, it is impossible for her to say that she does not feel regretful. But when she thinks about her three children who make her proud, although Aunt Jiang feels regretful, she is not envious at all.
Today, her nephew bought her three pieces of gold jewelry. The regret in her heart over the years was suddenly filled up, and she felt sad.
Aunt Jiang cried with joy and secretly wiped the corners of her eyes twice. As she wiped, something else appeared in front of her eyes.
"Auntie, this is the skin care product I bought for you. Remember to use it every day. I have checked this brand of skin care products and it is very effective."
Aunt Jiang: “…” Anything else
"Sister Yuehong, this is yours."
Jiang Yuehong looked at the skin care brand handed to her and couldn't help but take a deep breath. She was familiar with this brand and this logo.
Some of her colleagues use this brand of skin care products, but most of them are single items because the price of a whole set is too expensive and they cannot afford it if they use it over the years.
“…Thank you, Zhou Zhou.”
"What are you thanking me for? You are my sister. It is only natural for a brother to buy cosmetics for her."
Then, Jiang Qingzhou started delivering them one by one until the suitcase was empty. At the same time, the Jiang family members were holding a pile of gifts in their hands.
Finally, Uncle Jiang couldn't hold it in any longer and asked, "Zhou Zhou, how much money did you make from the supermarket you helped your classmate manage?"
