The difference between Wang Jiexiang and Yin Xian is that when she has a considerable salary and gradually saves money, the first most expensive thing she buys is a mobile phone.
—With a mobile phone, she can contact Yin Xian anytime and anywhere.
Don't look at Wang Jiexiang who often mutters to Yin Xian to save money, and sends text messages, she doesn't think about the phone bill at all. As long as she is free and has nothing to do at home, she will text him.
[doing what? busy?]
[Lunch time is up! I ate chicken drumstick rice and added a braised egg. Workaholics, it's almost time for you to eat!]
[I miss you, Yin Xian.]
[I'm home from get off work, do you have anything to eat?]
[Do you have overtime today? If you can come back before eight o'clock, I'll wait for you to eat. In advance, we have your favorite fried beef with chili for dinner.]
For Wang Jiexiang's unrestrained SMS bombardment, Yin Xian usually only replied to what was necessary.
For example, he read all of the above content, and only replied to the last one she sent.
[Yes, don't wait.]
Not long after the text message was sent, his cell phone rang again.
[Okay, then you have something to eat when you work overtime late. Call me before you go home, I will heat the meal.]
Yin Xian pressed off the phone screen and continued working.
Only two months after buying the mobile phone, Wang Jiexiang's typing speed has improved by leaps and bounds. Such progress is not caused by how smart she is, but the main reason is that she talks too much nonsense.
The job in a department store can be regarded as leisure, and the cosmetics counter is generally not full of customers.
When there are no customers, everything at hand is done, and Wang Jiexiang will go to learn makeup skills from other cabinet sisters. After going back and forth, she became acquainted with the salesperson who sold perfume next door. At lunch time, the cabinet lady named Qianqian would always ask her to eat with her.
According to Qianqian's observation, Wang Jiexiang routinely took out her mobile phone to type before eating.
"What about texting again?" she asked.
"Yes." Wang Jiexiang finished typing, clicked send, and put the phone back in her pocket.
Qianqian smelled gossip: "Seeing that you never leave your mobile phone all day long, who do you text so frequently?"
Wang Jiexiang took a bite of the marinated egg and winked at her.
"My boyfriend."
"Huh? You have a boyfriend?"
Qianqian looked at her face with a surprised expression: "You look very young."
"I'm twenty. I met my boyfriend when I was eighteen, and we've been together for two years."
"So, you met him not long after you first came to the city?" Qianqian knew a little about Wang Jiexiang's background, and she suddenly felt a strong curiosity: "How did you meet? Tell me your love story."
Love story, this word makes Wang Jiexiang happy.
She swallowed the remaining half of the marinated egg, cleared her throat, and narrated to Qianqian.
"It was a winter two years ago, I had no money to pay the rent, and the landlord told me to move out. I had nowhere to go, and he was the one who helped me..."
After lunch, Wang Jiexiang's experience was also shared.
She packed up her lunch box and prepared to go back to work. Qianqian was immersed in the aftertaste of her story, and she couldn't finish it.
"I can hear that you love him very much. In your narrative, he is as good as a Bodhisattva."
"You really take the initiative. It feels like you take the initiative in everything. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to stand a boy with such a character."
When she said this, Wang Jiexiang refused to accept it.
"He took the initiative to treat me well."
Qianqian raised her eyebrows: "What's the good thing?"
Wang Jiexiang listed many things that Yin Xian did for herself: buying a refrigerator to stock up on vegetables for her to eat more, squeezing carrot juice for her to drink, taking her to the doctor, waiting for her to get off work, and accompanying her to the public bathroom...
After hearing her say a lot, Qianqian didn't change her mind.
"Well... the more I listen to you, I feel that he is like your elder, who guides you, educates you, cares whether you are sick or not, and whether you eat or not."
Wang Jiexiang puffed her cheeks and immediately refuted her.
"Then the two of you live together and live your daily life, what else is there to care about?"
Qianqian thought of words to describe the weirdness she felt.
"That is, young couples, young people's love, should be more romantic and passionate when getting along. I was in love at your age. At that time, the two were entangled in love. The things you said are very lifelike. , your boyfriend is kind to you, but everything is a little too calm and indifferent."
The point of view of these words is based on personal preference. Seeing Wang Jiexiang's complexion was not very good, Qianqian immediately realized that she had said too much.
"Look at me, how can I substitute myself."
Qianqian smiled, intentionally changing the topic to a relaxed topic suitable for gossip.
"You are young and living together, can you bear it? You... in terms of life, are you not in harmony?"
Wang Jiexiang didn't understand the words in the middle of her: "What life?"
Qianqian pushed her arm: "That's life."
Her smile was mysterious, and she deliberately lowered her volume: "About that, he must take the initiative, right?"
Wang Jiexiang didn't understand why she suddenly winked and spoke strangely.
"Our life is very harmonious, I am very happy."
Seeing the pride and openness on her face, Qianqian wondered if she didn't understand what she meant.
Clinging to Wang Jiexiang's ear, covering her mouth with her hands, she fully expressed the meaning of her previous question.
This time, Wang Jiexiang heard clearly.
Qianqian moved her hand away, her face flushed instantly.
Her expression was as if she was hearing these things for the first time.
Qianqian waited for her answer.
"No." Wang Jiexiang said.
"No way," she opened her mouth in surprise, "You have lived together for two years."
"But… "
Wang Jiexiang explained in a useless manner: "We slept together every day."
"A quilt?"
"yes."
"Then none of you happened..."
If the chat continued, it might not end well, Qianqian swallowed the words: "Maybe he is an upright person, or you were too young when you were together."
The more she helped smooth things over, the more guilty Wang Jiexiang became.
"We were eighteen years old together, and now we are twenty. Well, would there be any normal couples? Couples who have lived together for two years."
Qianqian nodded.
She fell into deep thought...
Wang Jiexiang has something on her mind.
On this day, just as Yin Xian came home, he discovered something was wrong with her.
"Are you home late? Why didn't you take off your makeup?"
Wang Jiexiang touched her face.
"Makeup? Removed it. Just put on some lipstick."
He didn't expose her, and went straight to the dinner table for dinner.
There were two pairs of bowls and chopsticks on the table, and she was told to eat first, but she still waited for him to come home.
While eating, Wang Jiexiang was also absent-minded.
Yin Xian picked up the vegetables with one hand and supported the bowl with the other, chewing the vegetables in his mouth and staring at her.
"Yin Xian!"
Her hand suddenly reached out, pulled his hand away from the edge of the bowl, and held it between her two.
He stopped chewing for no apparent reason.
Wang Jiexiang looked at him and asked in a serious tone.
"Are we boyfriend and girlfriend? No, you still think I'm a roommate who lives together?"
"..."
Yin Xian thought she was boring and ignored her.
After taking a shower, the two came back from the bathroom.
Yin Xian sat on the edge of the bed and wiped his hair, while Wang Jiexiang sat on his lap abruptly.
He took down the towel and saw that she had changed into her summer pajamas at some point.
The lipstick still didn't come off, but it turned redder.
"Yin Xian." She put her arms around his neck.
"What's up?"
Wang Jiexiang circled her hair with her fingers, circling around.
"Wipe my hair for me." She said coquettishly, with a wink.
Yin Xian's expression remained calm.
"Okay, sit aside."
"No no no."
Her legs were dangling, her voice was thin, and she acted willfully.
"People want to sit here."
"Why?"
She drew circles on his chest with her fingers: "Too far away from you will make my heart cold."
"Of course it's cold in summer pajamas."
Wang Jiexiang was taken by Yin Xian's upright force, and she fell onto the bed unsteadily, falling on all fours.
He didn't look at her, he stood up directly, went to the closet and took out the thick pajamas.
The pajamas were khaki, with a big monkey that had been washed bald. Because pajamas are thick and warm, she often wears them... But today, Wang Jiexiang doesn't want to wear them at all.
Regardless of her likes and dislikes, Yin Xian forcibly helped her put it on, and buttoned it for her. The buttons were buttoned all the way to the top of her neck.
Wang Jiexiang sat cross-legged on the bed, staring at Yin Xian, sullen.
He stood beside her and threw a big towel on her head without saying a word.
"What are you doing!" She clenched her fists angrily.
He replied, "Wipe your hair."
Covering her head, Yin Xian's hands began to rub left and right, quickly and violently.
Wait for him to remove the towel.
Wang Jiexiang, who was wearing hairy hair, also got hairy.
"Hey!" She stood up straight with her hips crossed, and shouted at him angrily: "My lipstick got on the towel! I don't look good!"
Yin Xian immediately lowered his head to check the towel.
The strategy failed, and Wang Jiexiang gave up completely.
Wearing big monkey pajamas and lying on the bed, she turned her back to Yin Xian and lay on the innermost side of the bed.
He washed the towels and went into the house, turned off the lights and went to sleep.
in the dark.
She asked: "To be honest, do you think of me as a brother?"
He was drowsy, and answered vaguely: "What kind of brother? The one who helped me fight, the one who accompanied me to drink? Your small body is not qualified to be my brother."
Wang Jiexiang got up and kicked Yin Xian hard.
"Wang Jiexiang!"
His skin is rough and fleshy, and he doesn't feel any pain at all, it's just that she makes him sleepless.
Wang Jiexiang let out a heavy "hum", lay back in her seat, and covered herself with a quilt to sleep.
the next day.
The business at the makeup counter was good. Wang Jiexiang was busy all morning with a smile, but Qianqian didn't find a chance to talk to her.
meal time.
Before she could sit down to eat, Qianqian couldn't wait to ask her: "How's it going?"
In fact, there is no need to ask.
In private time, Wang Jiexiang's mood was written all over her face.
"You haven't been there for two years. There must be a big problem. I guessed your failure last night early in the morning."
Qianqian was full of enthusiasm: "Come on, tell me! I have experience, and I will give you advice."
Wang Jiexiang sighed, and told her in detail what happened at home yesterday.
Qianqian propped her chin, her expression was like a doctor listening to a patient's description of his condition.
In the end, Wang Jiexiang clenched her hands into fists like a patient, waiting nervously for her analysis.
"The situation is probably like this, what do you think?"
Qianqian didn't talk about the conclusion, but asked some other questions: "Are there any other women around him?"
"I don't know, you mean..."
Qianqian nodded.
Wang Jiexiang decisively denied her speculation.
"Impossible. He is very busy at work and works overtime every day. He is so busy that he often has no time to eat."
"Working overtime every day, I don't have time to eat."
Grasping the two words in her words, Qianqian repeated them emphatically.
"Are you sure you two are in love
"Um."
"How about..." Qianqian said surprisingly, "Take him to the hospital?"
Wang Jiexiang was puzzled: "What are you looking at?"
"Andrology."
She informed her of the conclusions drawn from her own experience.
"If it wasn't for someone outside, it might be due to overwork, which caused poor health."
Wang Jiexiang was confused.
Qianqian patted her shoulder seriously.
"Don't think that you must be healthy when you are young, care more about your boyfriend, and treat your illness if you are sick."
night.
Yin Xian went home.
Wang Jiexiang sat at the table thinking about things.
Today she was not like yesterday, she made some messes, which saved him a lot of worry.
But what should come will always come.
Before going to bed, he turned off the bedside lamp.
Wang Jiexiang dragged the quilt and squeezed to Yin Xian's side.
"Tell me." He knew that if she didn't let her talk, she wouldn't be able to sleep well.
"you… "
She gritted her teeth and said directly: "When will you rest? Go to the hospital, okay?"
"Why?"
The specific Wang Jiexiang is hard to say.
After hesitating for a while, she stammered, "I'm talking about my relationship with my colleagues... Then, maybe... we should go see a doctor."
Yin Xian could tell that someone else had said something to her, which caused her to be abnormal these two days.
"Your ears are too soft," he said.
Wang Jiexiang was noncommittal.
Fortunately, he couldn't see her expression in the dark, and she didn't have to worry about her face.
"Then, to go or not to go?"
He asked her back, "What kind of disease do you think I should see?"
She was silent for half a minute and whispered.
"... a disease that has no interest in my body."
There was no sound from Yin Xian.
Wang Jiexiang suddenly felt that the night was not good again, and she wanted to see his expression at the moment.
She knew he was not asleep.
After a long time, he said, "I'm not sick. I'm in good health and everything is fine."
"Oh." Wang Jiexiang replied sullenly.
She didn't seem to intend to say anything more, so Yin Xian ended the topic.
"Go to bed, you have to go to work tomorrow."
Wang Jiexiang found that many problems between her and Yin Xian, in the end, always turned into a question of thinking: Does he love me
She can answer Qianqian without thinking: Well, we are in love.
But she can't convince herself sometimes.
Her heart is vacillating. Sometimes she is full of confidence in their love and feels that it is extremely strong, and sometimes it is the opposite.
Wearing high heels and showing a smile with eight teeth, Wang Jiexiang stood upright in front of the counter, but she was listless in her heart.
With unreasonable things in her mind, she struggled to think.
It's been a day. Yin Xian's phone hasn't been this quiet for a long time.
This was unusual, and it made him spend more time pressing on the phone screen, checking the time, and checking the inbox.
It was time for Wang Jiexiang to get off work, but her text message still didn't come.
Yin Xian was restless and edited a [?]Send it.
About half an hour later, when he couldn't help but want to make a phone call outside, Wang Jiexiang finally replied.
[I've been thinking about it all day.]
After receiving the reply, Yin Xian breathed a sigh of relief.
Wang Jiexiang didn't think about what to say.
With a bitter face, she held the phone, feeling both embarrassed and inferior.
Unlike Yin Xian's slow reply speed in the past, he replied to her last message quite quickly.
[What do you think?]
Turning on the screen, seeing these three words, Wang Jiexiang was so regretful that she wanted to throw the phone out.
What are you talking to him about? What should I do now
He came back so quickly, is he waiting for her over there
She held her breath and quickly typed a line of words on the screen.
[Think, when will you do it with me. like?]
The broken pot fell to the ground, and Wang Jiexiang sent the message.
Throwing the phone aside, she buried her head in her hands, frustrated.
Almost ten seconds after she sent the letter, the phone rang a text message notification tone.
Wang Jiexiang dared not touch that hot potato, thinking: According to Yin Xian's character, he must shirk again, and he might be scolded.
She left the phone with a sad face and went to make dinner for herself.
After dinner, she almost calmed down, and Wang Jiexiang came back to check her phone.
Yin Xian's reply was very simple, only two words.
[tonight.]
…
All in all, Wang Jiexiang thanked Qianqian.
