18 min read4,460 words

The two had just arrived downstairs when it suddenly rained, and people

outside rushed in to hide from the rain.

When Ji Huai was in distress, Yu Wei opened the bag on her shoulder and took

out a pocket umbrella from it. This umbrella is usually used for shading.

Although the umbrella is small, it can be used.

Yu Wei took out the umbrella, opened it, and saw that his small eyes were

looking at her.

She was embarrassed to leave alone, and asked politely, "How are you going

back?"

"I don't know." He lowered his eyes, then shrugged, "Wait for the rain to

stop."

Yu Wei looked at the dark sky in the distance, and then looked at the rain.

She was afraid that it would not stop for a while. She thought for a while,

"Where do you live? How do you usually go back?"

Ji Huai pointed his finger at the building in front of him, "In Haicheng

Garden, I have to go to the opposite side to take a bus."

From here behind the building, there is a triangle intersection. Usually it’s

not far to walk, but now that the rain is not small, the journey is far.

Yu Wei couldn't send him over, so she simply said, "Rain doesn't know when it

will stop. My car is parked in front. Let's go to pick up the car together,

and I will send you back."

His eyes lit up, but he came down without being polite, with a clear tone,

"Thank you, Sister Yu."

Yu Wei gave him the umbrella, "Wait a little longer and see if the rain drops

a bit before it passes."

The umbrella is too small, it will get wet.

"Ok."

The two waited for a few more minutes, and the rain eased slightly. Yu Wei

held her bag in her arms and signaled that he could leave.

Ji Huai was standing next to her holding an umbrella, and while walking out, a

cool breeze hit them, mixed with drizzle, hitting the two of them, Yu Wei

lowered her head and continued to speed up.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed, and the refracted shadows could be

seen around, Yu Wei paled with fright.

Immediately afterwards, there was a "boom", accompanied by a drizzle that got

bigger and bigger, and a gust of wind, which made her shake her body and it

was cold to the bones of a person.

With more hands on her shoulders, Ji Huai stretched out his hands to stabilize

her body, took her to her side, and moved the umbrella toward her, and said

quickly, "It's raining heavily, so you have to go faster."

He said speeding up, she was almost taken away by him.

Yu Wei didn't care about other things, and then accelerated her pace.

She is wearing high heels, Ji Huai is still a bit taller than her, his pace is

steady, his hands are vacant on her shoulders, the temperature of the palms

seems to pass in through her thin chiffon shirt, and the wind blows her to

him. Leaning here, burying his head lower and lower, he is about to get close

to his arms.

When he got to the car, Ji Huai put the umbrella on the roof and let her go in

first.

"Come up quickly." Yu Wei and Liu frowned, urging him, and at the same time

leaned over to open the door on the other side.

After Ji Huai came up to close the door, she didn't breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing that one of his shoulders was getting wet, she pulled a piece of paper

to him and said, "Wipe, don't catch a cold."

"No, I'm in good health." With extreme self-confidence in his words, he wiped

it casually, and slapped his handsome fluffy hair.

Yu Wei was reversing, turning the steering wheel forward again.

"Aren't you wet?" Ji Huai asked her when the car drove onto the avenue.

Yu Wei looked forward, "You all leaned your umbrella toward me, of course I

didn't get any rain."

On the contrary, he was also exposed to a lot of water.

Ji Huai grinned, "That's true, how did I behave?"

"what?"

"Performance, of course, I can't let the leader suffer, and the suffering will

offend me. Only in this way can I behave well and know how to judge the

situation and weigh the situation." The young man said with good reason.

Yu Wei: "..."

People are not like you when they judge the time and the situation is not like

yours. They are straightforward and silly.

"Sister Yu, don't you think?" He still asked, thinking he made sense.

"Just work hard." Yu Wei answered him.

She will not avenge her personal revenge. Everyone will complete their

workload and receive their own salary.

Soft and soothing music reverberates in the car, which makes people feel good.

Yu Wei's car is not cheap, nor is it a luxury car, and the price is just over

300,000.

She also bought a small apartment and repays her car loan and house loan every

month, removing most of her salary. Although tired, bitter and stressful, life

is also enjoyable.

But it’s just too hard. I don’t have my own life and social circle, but I

can’t help it.

Ji Huai put his elbow on the car window, tilted his head to one side, and

looked at her again, "Sister Yu, what are you going to eat?"

"Look at it later." Yu Wei drove very seriously, working like her, without

giving him a look.

"Going back at this point, there is nothing to eat." Ji Huai sighed.

"Why?" Yu Wei asked casually.

Ji Huai replied, "My grandparents and I are the only ones left in my house.

They are in the next city. I rent a house here by myself. There is nothing in

the refrigerator."

When Yu Wei heard it, she knew there was something hidden, so she didn't

continue to ask.

Parents are not around or have passed away? Life experience is quite pitiful.

"Oh, besides my grandparents, there is a dog named Rhubarb...." Ji Huai took

the initiative to talk about Xuxu again, and he said a lot.

Ji’s father and Ji’s mother had an accident when he was very young. The other

party lost a sum of money. Grandpa Ji and Grandma Ji took the money to buy a

house and wrote his name. Even his parents gave it to him. He left something.

He didn't have time to accompany the two elderly people at school and work, so

he bought them a dog, which he had raised for several years.

How much compensation was paid when the house was bought in the next city? The

house I bought is also old and cannot be sold for money. With such family

conditions, he wanted too much to succeed, otherwise he would have no hope for

the rest of his life.

Yu Wei'an listened quietly to what he said, but nodded from time to time to

show that he was listening.

Ji Huai understands her nature, and she is tentative and open. "When I go

home, I either order takeaways or instant noodles. It's boring. This day is

the most suitable for hot pot. It's boring to eat hot pot alone. How about

eating hot pot and going back?

"There is a new Xudong Hotpot restaurant in the square over there, and it

tastes absolutely amazing."

Xudongguan is a hot pot brand from Nanjiang. The classic base of the pot is

spicy and fragrant.

After he finished speaking, he sneaked a glance at Yu Wei, saw her pursing her

lips, her eyes showed her success, she raised her voice with a smile, and

exaggerated, "Really, when I was in college, I went to eat with my roommate

every month. I must Recommend this hot pot restaurant to you, a pot of hairy

belly, dipping sauce, and chunky beef. By the way, their shrimp is also

superb...."

"Then go to have a meal together, or eat with multiple people." Yu Wei is not

a hesitating person, so she made the decision right away.

"Okay."

Where she couldn't see, Ji Huai's mouth raised up.

On the surface, Yu Wei didn't have any mood swings, but in fact, Zexin had

already drifted to the hot pot.

It's not that she is greedy. Nanjiang is not far from her home, and they also

like to eat hot pot there. She is usually too busy to eat simply or in a

hurry, and she is too tired to toss in her free time.

She hasn't eaten hot pot for a long, long time. One is that there is no time,

and the other is that it is too embarrassing to go alone.

Because of her character and position, she has no friends.

I got off work early today, and there was someone to accompany me. This

weather is indeed suitable for hot pot, so I thought about it.

Her car drove to the underground parking lot of the mall. The parking space

was quite tight today, and she turned around and found a parking space.

Going upstairs, the hot pot restaurant is also full, so you need to wait a

while.

Yu Wei sat outside waiting for the meal, poured a glass of water, and the

waiter asked her if she wanted some snacks to cushion her belly, but she

politely refused.

Ji Huai is not far away. He was arranging the numbers, bowed his head and

didn't know what he was communicating with the waiter, the other person's eyes

seemed to stick to him, very enthusiastic.

From her point of view, he can see his perfect profile face, high nose bridge,

and thick slender eyelashes flapping.

He got the number, smiled and said thank you to each other, showing two small

dimples, with a handsome face, Yu Wei could feel the little girl's excitement.

The other person's eyes were filled with uncontrollable excitement, his body

inclined to his newcomer, and he said silently: So handsome and gentle, I'm

not working anymore, a real handsome guy.

"There is no one in front of the small table. Come to us right away and wait a

minute." He walked over to her and sat down, holding a numbering ticket in his

hand.

Yu Wei retracted her gaze, nodded, and took another sip from the water glass.

Ji Huai has been looking into the hot pot restaurant, standing up and looking

in from time to time, craned his neck, bent over and looked at her slightly,

not forgetting to ask her, "Are you hungry?"

Yu Wei: "It's okay."

"Someone is gone!" Seeing a small table left, he stood up, walked to the front

and waved to her, and couldn't wait to say, "Hurry up, let's go in."

"Please a72 customer..."

"Here, it's us!" He rushed to the front desk and stuffed the paper into the

waiter's hand.

The other party was also a little girl, she suddenly saw his handsome face,

her cheek became red after a touch, and she stammered, "Ah? Oh, this...

please... over here..."

Yu Wei was not affected by Ji Huai, her footsteps were still slow, graceful

and calm.

When the two walked in, the small table was still cleaning, and Ji Huai gave

her the menu, "You order."

Yu Wei was not polite, and asked the bottom of the pot he wanted to eat. He

pointed to the first one, "How about the classic pot bottom coming to their

house?"

At the end of the conversation, she saw that the corners of Yu Wei's mouth

were slightly upwards, and she hooked the bottom of the pot, and chose a few

dishes she wanted to eat.

When Ji Huai took the menu, he glanced at it, added a tofu bubble and lotus

root slices, ordered two more shrimp skewers, and handed the menu to the

waiter, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The little girl looked at him a few more times and smiled

shyly.

Looking at the little girl, Yu Wei found it interesting, her white hands

resting on the table, her eyes fell back to Ji Huai's face, her eyes

thoughtful.

His face is delicate and beautiful, and his skin is smoother and more tender

under the light, exuding youthful vitality.

She is cheerful, smiling, confident and sunny, and she exudes upward vigor.

It's really hard not to be liked by others.

Ji Huai raised her eyes, still facing her gaze. She was too engrossed just

now, as if she had been caught suddenly, with a guilty conscience for no

reason. She quickly moved her eyes away and kneaded her fingers on the table

with her fingers crossed.

This is her usual movement when she is nervous.

"I'm so hungry." As if he didn't notice it, he leaned back, laid his hands

lazily on the sofa, spread out his whole body, looking weak.

Yu Wei still sat upright, he rubbed it and got up again, "I'll get some fruit

to eat first."

"Go ahead."

Ji Huai rushed to the fruit area and began to clip fruits.

Watermelon, mango, cantaloupe...

Cantaloupe has more pinch points, and a little more. Bananas and cherry

tomatoes are not required, and dragon fruit is not required. Forget it, dragon

fruit is quite nutritious and requires a few pieces.

He came back with a pot of fruit, put it on the table, and let Yu Wei have a

taste.

"It's really sweet to eat dragon fruit." He promoted his dragon fruit and

stuffed a piece into his mouth.

However, Yu Wei ate a piece and went to eat cantaloupe again. She likes to eat

crispy cantaloupe. Seeing that half of the plate is cantaloupe, she ate

another piece, "Do you like cantaloupe?"

"Yeah." He nodded.

Yu Wei didn't say anything, she liked the fruits on the plate, and dragon

fruit could still be accepted.

Seeing that she didn't eat dragon fruit anymore, Ji Huai ate the remaining

pieces in twos or twos, leaving only the fruit she liked to eat in the basin.

The bottom of the pot was brought up, with a layer of chili and sesame pepper

floating on it, and a layer of red oil. Once the fire was turned on, there was

still a smell in the piping hot.

The side dishes were also brought up one by one, placed on a shelf or on the

table.

"First put the lotus root slices, it will be cooked for a while." After Ji

Huai put the prawns on, he started to cook the lamb, holding a colander in one

hand, and putting the other in.

Counting the time, after cooking, he picked it up and put it in her bowl.

"I'll do it myself, aren't you hungry? You eat first." Yu Wei raised her hand

to stop his movement, with a non-salty and formulaic tone.

She is not so close to others and feels uncomfortable.

"I'm not short of this time, ladies first." Ji Huai insisted on putting it in

her bowl, and then went to pick up a few pieces and put them in the hot pot.

Yu Wei can only accept, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Ji Huai was happy, put the lamb in his bowl again, and

started to eat.

Don't look at him tall and thin, he can eat a lot of food, while serving her

and himself, while eating, he can also be distracted to eat, eat fast and not

fussy, so that people's appetite is greatly increased.

At the beginning, Yu Wei also prevented him from putting things in the bowl in

front of him. He was saying, "It won't taste good if you cook it again. I'll

get you some more so you can order new dishes."

He said so, she naturally wouldn't say anything.

Moreover, she looked at the dishes in front of her, and there were no dishes

she didn't like. It was very appetizing, and she couldn't feel disgusted at

all, and gradually accepted his action.

Most of the dishes on the table were her orders. She liked to eat the few

things he added. She missed some of the shrimp slippery. She didn't expect

that he would not produce them. They were all to her heart.

Yu Wei hadn't eaten much in the past, and because of her irregular diet and

work pressure, she had no appetite, so she was very skinny and would wear

looser clothes.

I have a good appetite from noon today to the present, and it is rare to

relax.

"Eat some more fruit." He walked to take another cantaloupe and asked her to

eat two more.

Yu Wei shook her head, she was a little braced.

"These are sweeter than the ones just now." His black eyes were clear and

clear, and he said very seriously, and he put a piece in his mouth as he said,

biting it crisply.

It looks more delicious.

She ate another piece of face and took a while, Yu Wei picked up her bag and

took out her mobile phone from the bag. She was about to go to the front desk

to check out, but was told that the account had been settled.

Yu Wei was surprised and looked at Ji Huai behind. When did he get married?

When picking fruits?

With one hand in his pocket, he walked out slowly, "Let's go."

She took back the phone and twisted her eyebrows slightly, "How did you check

out?"

How much does his monthly salary cost?

Ji Huai: "I invite you to eat hot pot with me. I can't let you check out,

right?"

"This is not your invitation..."

"Let's go, blocking other people's way." Before she finished speaking, Ji

Huaixu helped her shoulders and took her aside to make way for the people

behind.

After Yu Wei realized it, she walked aside and said to him, "Don't rush to

check out next time."

"Isn't this my performance? I take the opportunity to invite you to dinner,

and I will invite sister Yu to be merciful in the future." Ji Huai smiled,

half-truth and half-truth.

"You just need to finish the work. I won't deliberately embarrass you." She

does this to everyone. Everyone is working hard to make money and survive. She

doesn't think it is necessary.

Ji Huai's face was obedient and nodded like garlic.

Yu Wei: "How much is this meal? I'll transfer you."

"If you turn me around, you will become me eating soft rice? Man man, I don't

eat soft rice." Ji Huai said very seriously and stubbornly.

Yu Wei: "..."

Young people nowadays have such a personality?

"Besides, it’s a long time to come, isn’t it just a meal, right?"

"I hope it." Yu Wei was not said to death. Generally speaking, new colleagues

will stay with her at the beginning, knowing that she is capable, will

stammer, and will alienate her later.

First, she has a clear distinction between public and private, and her

personality is not so enthusiastic. Second, she also knows that Ma Keqing and

several people are spreading a lot of rumors outside.

The mouth is on others, she can't stop it, and the company is just a place to

make money. Leaders are destined to find it difficult to have a good

relationship with their employees, otherwise it will be difficult to do at

work.

She is not good at dealing with this kind of interpersonal relationship, but

thinks it is good.

When Ji Huai walked to the mall, he saw gashapon machines and claw machines on

both sides of the mall, "Do you want to play?"

Yu Wei glanced, "That was the little girl's play."

Childish and boring.

Ji Huai thought for a moment, his index finger and thumb pressed against his

chin, his head slightly bent to look at her and shook his head, "No."

"?"

"When a woman is a little girl, she is always worthy of love. Do you want to

play? I will buy you coins."

....

Yu Wei didn't answer him right away, she raised her foot and walked forward,

her tone was neither salty nor light, "I'm past the age to play this."

Ji Huai started chasing her with his long legs, still whispering in her ear,

"No, they don't stipulate what age you can play. You define yourself by

yourself."

"I often play remote-controlled racing cars, am I just five years old?"

....

Yu Wei couldn't stand the noise from him. When she got off the elevator, she

lifted her slender hand and pressed it down twice, "Okay, be quiet."

She spoke slowly, not in a hurry, and echoed in the elevator. Ji Huai shut his

mouth immediately. He liked listening to her voice. When she spoke softly, how

could she be as cold as what they said? He felt gentle and patient with water.

Yu Wei took him to the gate of the community. Before getting off the car, Ji

Huai turned on the phone and said to her, "I added your WeChat, remember to

pass, go home and post a message to report safety."

He spoke quite naturally, reaching out and unfastening his seat belt and

getting out of the car.

Yu Wei was used to being independent since she was a child, and was a little

stunned when she was suddenly asked to do so.

She is attentive in her work. In addition to her lack of enthusiasm in

interpersonal communication, she also has the etiquette to be considered in

place. Whether she is walking or coming from the heart, she will often say

this to others, but others rarely say that to her.

"Goodbye." Ji Huai shook his hands twice and closed the car door.

Through the glass, she could also see his face, and the dark eyes in the dark

night were dyed with a smile, and she seemed to be in a good mood. Standing

still, looking at her.

Yu Wei felt that he was polite, not in order not to delay his time, stepped on

the gas pedal and the car drove forward.

Ji Huai kept watching. After the car turned and couldn't see, he reluctantly

retracted his gaze and walked upstairs.

He has lost his parents since he was a child. Although he suffered a lot and

was stunned by many people, his grandparents also loved him very much, and the

two elderly people had a little pension.

How can he spend his salary for the internship?

When he was in school, he had to spend three thousand a month, spending half

of the pension of two old people. Outside the society, the basic salary of the

job I was looking for was not high, and it was an internship period. The house

was still unwilling to share with others. This small single room cost two

thousand three, and the credit card owed him ten thousand.

With his cheerful temperament and handsome face, he was given preferential

treatment all the way, and he was blessed by his tragic life experience. The

female head teacher was the first to think of him about poverty subsidies at

the school.

Everyone thought he was pitiful, but he didn't feel much.

His parents died early, and he was still naive. What's so pitiful? If you

haven't enjoyed the love of your parents at all, how can you lose it if you

haven't experienced it?

People think he is pitiful.

Ji Huai squashed his mouth and glanced at the phone again. She hadn't passed

the WeChat application. It was estimated that there would be more than ten

minutes to get home. He took the clothes and went to the bathroom to take a

shower.

He looked at his face and figure in the mirror, showing a narcissistic smile,

then glanced at the left and right again, and tweeted a few times.

Some people look good, not only good-looking, but their skin is white, not

only white, but also tender.

He is tall, in good shape, doesn't eat fat, and loves to laugh.

Since childhood, the girls who liked him lined up in long lines, and the head

teacher gave him less punishment than others after skipping class.

The only fruits received on Christmas Eve can be taken home for a month,

Valentine's Day chocolates are full of drawers, and homework can be

successfully borrowed in seconds.

Ji Huai looked at himself again, indulged in his pure and juicy face, and

smiled with a nice dimple, "Some people are born to enjoy food."

This reminded him that after he separated from Yu Wei, he also had some

achievements. A rich girl was clinging to him, and she brought a few cars to

marry, and she could even say that she would marry if she was abused. Ming Li

Secretly said that you don't have to worry about marrying her.

He shook his head firmly in the mirror, "Being a man, you have to rely on

yourself!"

Appearance is important, but the character must be the same as appearance.

He is sincere to Yu Wei!

It was ten o'clock when Yu Wei arrived home.

She walked to the hallway, put her bag aside, changed her shoes and walked in.

As soon as the lights turned on, the room lit up.

The house she bought is in a good location. Looking from here, you can see the

high-rise buildings in the city center. The neon lights outside the high-rise

buildings are shining with colorful patterns.

Only when she came back here did she feel a little relaxed. She walked to the

kitchen and poured herself a glass of water, sat on the sofa, and took out her

mobile phone.

First open WeChat to see if there are any new job notifications.

The higher the position, the more things will happen. Even after get off work,

the time is not your own, and you have to be strained.

She saw Ji Huai's friend's application and clicked through. Thinking of what

he said, he politely said, "I'm home."

At that moment, "It's so slow, I have a good shower."

At the end, there was also a sorrowful expression.

The emoticon was funny, and Yu Wei chuckled, "Go to bed early and go to work

tomorrow."

"When are you going to sleep?" he sent a sentence.

"a while."

"When is a while? One or two o'clock?"

Yu Wei didn't know how to reply.

Ji Huai sent another sentence, "Go to bed early, go to bed early and get up

early to be in good health."

At the end, he sent another emoticon that looked cute and cute.

"Ok."

Seeing the message from the boss, she hurriedly went to the study again.
