October is the beginning of autumn, but the autumn heat has arrived. The streets in the afternoon are not only windless, but also stuffy and uncomfortable. Most of the people coming and going are still wearing summer clothes.
From time to time, girls in short skirts would walk by.
Ji Junxing couldn't care less about other people, he just wanted to know why Lin Xi was wearing such strange clothes.
Lin Xi didn't expect that she would be caught by Ji Junxing on her first day of work.
She pursed her lips slightly, still holding the thick stack of leaflets in her hand.
On the list, there were a few big words "Cat Cafe".
"What are you doing?" His forehead was twitching. If he hadn't tried hard to restrain himself, he would have pulled her away right there and then.
Lin Xi was stunned.
Just then, two girls in puffy skirts passed by. They glanced at Lin Xi and Ji Junxing, and then saw the flyer in Lin Xi's hand. They couldn't help but ask, "Beautiful lady, are you from the maid cafe?"
Maid cafe
Ji Junxing felt his temple throbbing even more violently. When he was with Xie Ang and the others, he was always the calmest and most indifferent one, and basically nothing could easily make him angry.
But now, he was really a little angry.
Lin Xi didn't pay attention to him. She explained seriously: "It's not a maid cafe, it's a cat cafe."
"Cat cafe? Is it cat-themed?" the girl in a red and black puffy skirt and a golden wig asked curiously.
Lin Xi thought for a moment, "There are many cats in the store. If you come into the store, you can not only order drinks and desserts, but also play with the cats."
In fact, she also felt very novel when she found this job yesterday.
Especially when she learned that several cats in the store were worth tens of thousands, she was shocked. In the village, many families also keep cats, but they are rural cats, their fur is not so shiny and dense, and their appearance is not as good-looking as these cats.
Another girl in a light purple skirt said in surprise, "I see, this is very popular in Japan, cat cafes."
Both of them were fans of the two-dimensional world and were wearing Lolita-style skirts.
So they asked for the address of the store and prepared to go there immediately.
After the two girls left, Lin Xi felt a little encouraged. After all, she was the one who brought the first customers to the store.
Just as she showed her happy expression, she saw Ji Junxing waiting beside her with his hands in his pockets and a cold face.
Oh, I forgot about him.
Lin Xi only saw his outfit clearly at this time. He was wearing a white short-sleeved hoodie, black shorts, and a red and black belt around his waist. The belt was a bit long, almost reaching his knees. Compared to the school uniform he usually wore at school, this outfit was both good-looking and a bit cool.
That feeling of accelerated heartbeat came back again.
I clearly warned myself in my heart, but when I really saw him, I realized that love cannot be ignored.
Seeing that she finally saw him again, Ji Junxing asked directly, "What are you doing here?"
After saying that, he looked him up and down.
There were also girls in class 1 who thought the school uniform pants were too ugly and would secretly wear skirts and jeans, but Lin Xi was definitely not one of them. Lin Xi always wore the school uniform honestly in school.
This was the first time Ji Junxing saw her wearing a skirt.
At this time, they were standing on the side of the road, and pedestrians were walking by from time to time. Some boys would look back when they passed by.
Ji Junxing finally couldn't hold it in anymore, so he grabbed her wrist and pulled her to the side.
Only when we were standing in the quiet alley did he ask again: "Didn't you say you were going home for National Day?"
Lin Xi lowered her head, looked at her toes, and whispered, "Something happened, so I didn't go back."
"If you didn't come home, why didn't you call me?"
Lin Xi was a little confused by his matter-of-fact tone. She finally looked up at him and asked, "Why did I call you?"
"Of course I'll take you to my house." Ji Junxing was really mad at her.
At this moment, not only was his forehead throbbing, but his head was also beginning to hurt. Was this girl deliberately playing a joke on him? If he knew that she had not returned to her hometown, how could he not take her to his home
Lin Xi heard the anger in his voice and said softly, "I'm a little busy, so it's not convenient for me to go."
"Are you busy with this?" Ji Junxing really didn't understand her.
Finally, he looked at the flyer in her hand, "Lin Xi, are you short of money? If you are short of money, you can come to me..."
"I don't need it." Lin Xi seemed to know what he was going to say next and stopped him.
Ji Junxing was a little confused by her reaction. He thought he was scaring her. He suppressed his anger and said in a slow voice, "Lin Xi, you can tell me anything. I can help you."
"I really don't need it." Lin Xi couldn't help but clench the flyer in her hand.
Ji Junxing didn't understand and continued, "What's wrong with you? Are you in trouble? If you really are short of money..."
When he mentioned money for the second time, Lin Xi finally couldn't help it.
She looked at Ji Junxing, trying hard to control herself, but her voice couldn't help but tremble, "I am short of money, because I need to pay you back the two thousand yuan. So you don't need to ask anymore."
Two thousand dollars...
The anxiety on Ji Junxing's face suddenly froze. He looked at her, frowned slightly, and said helplessly: "Who asked you to pay back the money? Who told you..."
"I wanted to pay you back myself. I wanted to pay you back that day."
Lin Xi paused, her voice full of bitterness: "It's just that I don't have that much money. I can only earn some first and save it slowly to pay you back."
She also wanted to return the money immediately, but she really didn't.
And she couldn't ask her parents for the money.
Ji Junxing's expression completely changed, and he said, "Lin Xi, I topped up your meal card because I hope you study hard and don't have any worries. I don't want you to hand out flyers outside in such hot weather. You have to work and pay me back."
He gave her money because he loved her.
If she comes out to work in such hot weather, what's the point of him doing this.
Lin Xi's palms trembled slightly, or rather her whole body was trembling. She restrained herself and even managed to force out a smile, "I know you mean well, but I can't just take your money for nothing."
"What do you mean I can't ask for it for free?" Ji Junxing laughed.
Lin Xi didn't look at him and said softly: "We are all students. Two thousand yuan is too much. I can't just accept it..."
Ji Junxing interrupted her directly, "Lin Xi, why are you feeling awkward? If it's the money that makes you uncomfortable, then you can just think of this as a gift, okay? I will also give gifts to Xie Ang and the others on their birthdays, so just think of it as a gift from me in advance."
His tone really softened over and over again.
But he still saw the girl in front of him and shook his head slightly.
His eyebrows twitched until the girl in front of him spoke again with difficulty. She said: "No matter how expensive the gift you give them is, they can give it to you next time to repay you, but I can't."
She has no money.
Just like she couldn't readily accept the two thousand yuan from Ji Junxing, because she had nothing to give back to him, she might as well not even accept it.
"When did I ask you to repay me? Do you understand what I mean?"
Finally, Lin Xi interrupted him. She looked straight at him with a bitter face and asked, "What kind of relationship do we have? Why should I take so much money from you? Do I rely on your sympathy and charity?"
If the mention of money before touched Lin Xi, then when Lin Xi said the word "alms", it immediately pissed off Ji Junxing.
He sneered, "Alms? Do you really think that what I'm doing is alms? Do you think I'm some kind of money-giving kid? I'll pity any person on the street, sympathize with her, and give alms to her."
"I just want you to have an easier and happier life in this school. Is that wrong?"
She was shocked and stared at him blankly.
Suddenly, Ji Junxing's cell phone rang. The ringtone sounded between the two of them, but it did not break the stiff atmosphere at all.
He didn't answer, the phone stopped ringing, and then rang again after a while.
This time, when Ji Junxing answered the phone, he didn't know what was said on the other end. He said angrily, "Don't bother me anymore. You guys go first. I'll be there soon."
He hung up the phone, and Xie Ang on the other end was stunned.
Chen Mo, who was wearing a baseball cap, saw him like this and asked, "When will Ah Xing arrive?"
Xie Ang turned around and looked at him, still with that look of astonishment, "Ah Xing told me to stop rushing us and let us go first, he will be here soon."
Chen Mo and Gao Yunlang, who were standing next to him, looked over at the same time.
Gao Yunlang shook his head and said, "I don't believe that this is what Ah Xing said."
Chen Mo nodded: "I can't do that either."
In their opinion, Ji Junxing was usually like that. They had rarely seen him get angry, let alone swear.
Xie Ang almost swore to heaven, "Really, I heard it clearly."
Ji Junxing looked at Lin Xi and finally asked, "Lin Xi, can you stop working? Just think of this as a gift. Next time it's my birthday, you can give me one too. It doesn't have to be expensive. Just show your appreciation."
"I'm sorry, Ji Junxing, I can't..." Lin Xi said with difficulty.
Before she could say anything, the boy opposite her sneered, his face full of disappointment.
He said indifferently: "Fine, do whatever you want. Sorry for meddling in your business."
After saying that, he turned around and left without looking back.
Soon, his figure disappeared around the corner of the alley. Lin Xi stared blankly at the intersection, as if she could still see him.
Then, the tears she had been holding back finally fell.
Big tears fell down.
She knew he meant well, she knew it all.
But what to do, that was the boy she liked, she didn't want him to sympathize with her, didn't want him to see her inferiority and poverty. She also wanted to stand upright beside him.
Because there were occasionally other people passing by in the alley, Lin Xi wiped away her tears with her sleeves.
But the more she wiped her tears, the more they appeared. Finally, she simply covered her eyes with her sleeves, stood there, and cried out loud.
Just as she was crying, a faint sigh was heard.
Lin Xi moved her arm away from her eyes.
The tall young man was standing in front of her with a helpless look on his face.
Lin Xi didn't say anything, and neither did he. The two of them stared at each other until Ji Junxing pulled the flyer out of her hand.
She looked at him with tearful eyes.
Then the young man said fiercely: "Two people will do it faster."
After handing out the flyers, Lin Xi looked at him eagerly and suggested softly, "Why don't you go to our store and take a break? There's air conditioning there."
Although it was already October, after standing in the sun for more than an hour handing out flyers, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat and his clothes on the back were a little wet with sweat.
Ji Junxing frowned and said nothing.
Lin Xi led the way obediently.
Unexpectedly, when they just entered the coffee shop, the cashier inside was overjoyed when he saw Lin Xi, and greeted: "Lin Xi, come over and help me."
It turned out that there was a foreign couple standing in front of the cash register.
The cashier didn't understand any English and couldn't understand what they were saying.
Lin Xi went over and asked them what they wanted to order, only to find out that the two men were French and their English was not very good.
So the four of them stared at each other, and the other party was gesticulating anxiously, but Lin Xi and the cashier still didn't understand what they meant.
Just when no one knew what to do, the young man who had been standing at the door walked over.
He stood next to the two foreigners and when he opened his mouth, they were all shocked.
The two Frenchmen patted his shoulders happily when they heard his fluent French.
After sending the two foreigners to the table, Lin Xi looked at him gratefully.
Seeing that he was still sweating, she decided to buy him a cold drink and asked, "Ji Junxing, do you want to..."
"Don't talk to me." Her words were interrupted by the boy's coldness.
Lin Xi was stunned.
Then he put his hands in his pockets and his expression became even more indifferent.
"I'm still angry."
The author has something to say: Lin Xi: Are you really angry
Young Master Ji didn't say anything.
Lin Xi nodded, turned around and prepared to leave, but was grabbed.
So what is the young master's implication (I'm still angry, please comfort me) 233333
Ji Liaoliao is really doting, hypocritical, and soft-hearted. He really loves Lin Xi.
