If the chance of meeting an acquaintance in Night City is one in a thousand, then the chance of meeting an acquaintance in Liang City is only one in ten. I met my uncle at the door of the hotel before. I didn't expect that when I accompanied Ji Guanxin to the mall, I met my mother's colleagues from the work unit, Pan Siyu and Chang Hong.
I went to junior high school at the school where my mother taught, so almost all the teachers in their workplace recognized me. Seeing Ji Guanxin and I standing in a three-gun clothing store, a group of women who were more than twenty years older than me rushed to ask me if Ji Guanxin was my boyfriend.
I smiled and said, "No, we are friends."
"Haha, the young man is so handsome, just like the people on TV."
Ji Guanxin smiled and replied: "Thank you, Auntie."
"Hey, does the accent sound like someone from our area?"
Ji Guanxin replied: "I am from Yecheng."
"Zijin, I heard from your mother that you are doing very well in Night City, with a monthly salary of hundreds of thousands. When I went home and told my daughter, she was so envious of her."
I tried my best to raise the corners of my lips and replied with a slight smile: "Aunt Chen, I resign."
"Ah? Really? When did it happen? Your mother didn't tell us."
I said: "I just told her recently, kill her first and tell her later."
"Oh, why did you quit such a good job?"
"The pressure is too much..."
"I heard that it's very difficult to get into that company. It's a barrier to entry to any university. Many master's and doctoral students may not be able to get in. Is that true?"
"My daughter will graduate from college next year. Originally, I wanted you to ask if she could go in..."
Just when I was surrounded by a bunch of aunties asking questions, Ji Guanxin’s voice came from behind me. He asked: “Zijin, what size underwear should I wear?”
A group of us instinctively ran away after hearing this, but Ji Guanxin ran into the men's underwear section at some point and was holding a pair of white briefs and asking me.
I can guarantee that my face must have turned red instantly, because my whole body was as hot as if menopause had arrived early.
Ji Guanxin looked innocent and harmless, I looked stiff, and the remaining aunties looked at us with different expressions.
Fortunately, one of them took the initiative and said: "Zijin, then you should accompany your friends to visit first. We are also going downstairs to go shopping."
"Okay, Aunt Chen, Aunt Li, Aunt Zhang. Goodbye."
After bidding farewell to a group of aunts, I came to Ji Guanxin, blushing and thick-necked, glaring at him and lowering my voice: "How do I know what size you are wearing?"
Ji Guanxin said: "A group of people who don't see each other a few times throughout the year can ask questions and make irresponsible remarks when they meet, and they don't feel annoyed or panicked."
Only then did I realize it. Thanks to Ji Guanxin, I was not caught by those people and continued to ask questions.
The shopping guide stood next to Ji Guanxin, with a smile on her face, and asked in a subtle way: "How tall are you, sir?"
Ji Guanxin replied casually: "182."
"What's your waist size?"
"have no idea."
"Then do you mind if I help you measure it?"
"How to measure?"
The shopping guide paused for a moment, then replied with a smile: "I measured it with my hands."
Ji Guanxin said, turned directly to me, raised his arms, and held up his coat. He looked at me and said, "Measure it for me."
He just ignored the shopping guide lady. My eyes widened slightly and I raised my eyebrows and said, "Shall I measure?"
Ji Guanxin replied calmly: "Don't let outsiders take advantage of you."
Because he was very tall, I couldn't see the shopping guide behind him, but I could probably guess the expression on her face.
Ji Guanxin is like this, he says whatever he wants and doesn't care what others think.
Instead of arguing with him in the underwear store and getting red-faced and thick-necked, I simply went over and stretched out my hand to measure his waist, which was exactly the length of four and a half palms.
Ji Guanxin reached out and rubbed the top of my head. Just when I was about to tell him not to touch, I felt static electricity. But before I could say this, another person called my name from behind me.
"Da Jinzi!"
I turned around and saw two tall figures appearing in front of Sanqiang Underwear Store. It was Pan Siyu who was 172cm tall and weighed 172cm, and her fiancé Chang Hong who was 190cm tall.
When they saw me, they both smiled and waved to me. As Pan Siyu walked into the store, he glanced at Ji Guanxin beside me, his eyes almost falling out.
I'm really screwed. How small is Liangcheng
"Da Jinzi, what's going on? What's going on?" Pan Siyu was so familiar with me that he winked at me in front of Ji Guanxin.
Before I could say anything, Ji Guanxin, who was beside me, had already replied with a smile: "You haven't seen it yet? Take my measurements and help me choose my underwear size."
Pan Siyu's eyes widened, and her face couldn't tell whether it was surprise or surprise. She could only hear her say: "I'll go, the scale is so big?"
Ji Guanxin said: "Fortunately you didn't mean the size is too big, otherwise I would be a little embarrassed."
"Hello, I'm Pan Siyu."
"Hello, Ji Guanxin."
As a result, before I said a word, Pan Siyu had already shaken hands with Ji Guanxin.
When Chang Hong came over, I also joked: "Xiao Hong, look at your fiancée, she's doing this in front of you, and you don't care."
Chang Hong smiled and said, "You don't care about your family."
After speaking, he nodded to Ji Guanxin and said, "Chang Hong."
"Ji Guanxin."
Pan Siyu elbowed me and whispered, "What do you mean?"
I said calmly: "It's boring. He just came here to play and didn't bring any luggage, so he came over temporarily to pick something to wear."
Pan Siyu said: "Chang Hong and I have been together for more than a year, and this is the first time we go to a lingerie store together. What's your relationship? You help him choose underwear?"
Okay, maybe I'm a naturally nervous person and always don't take some things seriously, but in the eyes of others, this situation is infinitely ambiguous.
At this time of year, major shopping malls are always full, and even lingerie stores are crowded. After I was squeezed a few times, Ji Guanxin put his arm around my shoulders, then turned around and called a shopping guide over and said, "This is white, 2xl, give me thirty pieces."
"Thirty pieces?" The shopping guide lady was shocked. She probably thought Ji Guanxin was here to wholesale.
Ji Guanxin nodded, and then said to me: "You go out and chat with them first, and I'll pay the bill."
I subconsciously picked up the bag and said out loud: "No, I'll give it."
Ji Guanxin didn't stop me. Instead, he smiled and said, "Okay, you can give it."
When I saw his foxy smile, I came to my senses immediately. He buys underwear and I pay the bill...
Ji Guanxin, Chang Hong and Pan Siyu squeezed out of the underwear store. After I paid the bill, I came out carrying thirty pairs of underwear. I didn't know what the three of them said, and I laughed so hard.
I walked over and handed the bag to Ji Guanxin. Ji Guanxin took it and replied with a smile: "Thank you."
Pan Siyu looked at me and said, "Hey, Da Jinzi, Chen Chen's boyfriend will come over tomorrow. Let's get together before the class reunion."
I said, "Okay."
Pan Siyu specially asked: "We have made an appointment with the new brother in advance. You can bring him with you when the time comes."
I glanced at Ji Guanxin, and then said to Pan Siyu, "Why are we bringing him to the party?"
Pan Siyu said, "Do you think everyone wants to see you?"
I was so nakedly shocked that I only left her with a blank stare.
Because Chang Hong wanted to take Pan Siyu back to his house to meet his parents, we didn't chat for long before we separated.
I said to Ji Guanxin: "Do you want to buy some other clothes?"
Ji Guanxin said: "No, I'll make a call and they can send the luggage to you tomorrow."
I said, "Not necessarily. Now that express delivery has stopped, it will be delayed if there is no guarantee."
Ji Guanxin said: "I asked them to bring it over by plane."
Then I have nothing to say, Qiu Fu.
After we left the mall with Ji Guanxin, I said, "You drive back to the hotel."
Ji Guanxin asked: "What about you?"
I said, "I'm going home."
Ji Guanxin said: "I have to go to your grandma's house for dinner at seven o'clock in the evening."
I responded: "I know."
Ji Guanxin said, "I don't know where your grandmother lives."
I took the opportunity to tease: "I thought you had investigated all eighteen generations of my family."
Ji Guanxin said: "Follow me back to the hotel, you sleep in the guest room, and then we will go to your grandma's house together."
I said bluntly: "There are so many people in Liangcheng who know me. If they see me entering the hotel with you, I'm afraid there will be some rumors the next day."
Ji Guanxin said: "If you have other people's mouths, they can say whatever they want. If you live by other people's words all day long, you probably won't live long."
I was immediately stunned because Luo Xiangdong said something similar to me once upon a time.
When I was distracted for a moment, Ji Guanxin said again: "Am I embarrassing you?"
"ah?"
"I'm not ugly either. I won't embarrass you if I take it out. Even if others see the two of us together, can't we fall in love? What's going to bother them? I'll die if I want to but not if I don't! "
He has a small mouth and is very talkative, but I have been in a rebellious mood recently. Because of that post, I guess a lot of people who I don’t know are waiting to see my jokes.
Ji Guanxin's words just reminded me that I am not afraid of shadows when I am upright, so why should I keep my head down
After gathering my coat, I said to Ji Guanxin, "Let's go."
Ji Guanxin didn't react for a while and asked as he walked: "Where are you going?"
"Let's go to the hotel. I haven't slept in the four-star hotel at home yet."
After getting back in the car, Ji Guanxin drove back to the hotel. After we went upstairs, Ji Guanxin said, "It's too cold. I'll take a shower first."
I said, "Go ahead."
Ji Guanxin walked to the master bedroom, and I carried the underwear bag I just bought to the public bathroom. I saw a washing machine here before. It was brand new and it looked like no one had used it.
Take out the underwear one by one, peel off the label, and put it in the washing machine. I only timed it for ten minutes because the underwear was new and I just needed to wash off the layer of dust on it.
I took out thirty pairs of underwear and placed them on the sofa in the living room. Then I wiped the window sill clean and placed the underwear on top one by one. There is a heater under the window sill, and it doesn't take half a night to dry.
I was hanging around, and I didn’t know when Ji Guanxin would appear behind me.
