Chapter 35 Emo Triple

◎Have you been dumped? Because of this shameful mouth.◎

Ji Nan certainly knew that this excuse was full of loopholes and quite lame, but it was a desperate measure as he had no other choice.

He really wanted to give something.

He leaned over to Zhong Jiajing and whispered, "I'm the fool. Zhong Jiajing is the smart one."

Wasn't this a provocation? Wasn't this irony? Zhong Jiajing simply couldn't believe a venomous snake could spit out even a drop of honey.

Seeing smoke and fire about to burst from her head again, Ji Nan quickly added in an attempt to calm her anger, "I just think it's necessary to add a souvenir to our first day. It can't be too shabby, right?"

Receiving the boss's eye signal, Xiaobai quickly chimed in, "Ah, our boss is a big believer in ceremony. Jiajing, please be a little considerate of these delicate little pig boys."

Ji Nan nodded in agreement, "Yes, I'm a pig."

He spoke such nonsense that could not stand scrutiny in such a serious manner that Zhong Jiajing almost laughed out of anger.

It would be a lie to say that she wasn't happy about receiving a gift from someone she liked, but Zhong Jiajing felt that she had to use this opportunity to establish her authority. Otherwise, how would she handle this sharp-tongued man who was always complaining about everything?

She crossed her arms and nodded indifferently. "That makes sense, but not much. Let's see how you perform tonight."

After dinner in the evening, the two of them went out for a walk until nine o'clock before returning home.

When Zhong Jiajing finished taking a shower and was walking towards her room, she suddenly heard Ji Nan calling her from behind. To be precise, he was calling her from his room diagonally behind her.

There was no light in the master bedroom. Ji Nan, who had taken a shower early, only opened the door a crack and spoke to her through the crack.

"Mr. Zhong, what do you think of Mr. Pig's performance tonight?"

"If you said less, I could barely give you an A. But you talked too much, so I'll deduct a little and give you an A-," said Zhong Jiajing.

As for why it is A-?

When passing by a large shopping mall in the evening, there was a tacit understanding competition going on in the lobby. The third prize was a set of heartwarming winter-themed puppy ornaments. Zhong Jiajing was very tempted, so she decisively pulled the reluctant Ji Nan up to sign up.

The competition in this competition is very small, and there are fifteen places for third prize alone, so as long as you control your scores appropriately, you can easily win the prize.

The competition items are nothing more than a series of routine small games such as tacit questioning, blindfolded feeding, and you draw and I guess.

Because it is an entertainment mode for publicity effect, the questions are relatively simple. With the careful calculation of the two little study tyrants, the third prize will definitely be easily pocketed.

Of course, if things only stopped here, Zhong Jiajing would not hesitate to give Ji Nan an A or even an S.

But an accident happened.

The award ceremony was basically just a formality. At most, they would ask the champion's partner for their acceptance speech and then leave it at that.

But in order to increase the number of visitors, the host deliberately found Zhong Jiajing and Ji Nan, a pair of beautiful women, to be interviewed. Sure enough, the empty audience was instantly crowded with people and thunderous applause.

The host asked: "The young man and the young lady are so good-looking that many viewers think you are our hired agents. Can you two help us clarify this?"

Ji Nan: "The snack bar near Jiaotong University is paying 180 yuan a day for fake queues. Am I supposed to be a shill just for these few dozen yuan ornaments? I even have to take two people with me. When will you make up the difference in our accounts?"

Zhong Jiajing: "I heard it's gone up to 200 a day."

Ji Nan: "Okay, we'll raise the price."

The answer is ridiculous, but inexplicably very entertaining.

Seeing the audience bursting with joy, the host quickly struck while the iron was hot. "Looking at how well you two look together, I thought you had great chemistry. I didn't expect you only won third place. Can you tell me why?"

Ji Nan looked puzzled. "Yes, maybe it's because I didn't work hard enough that I couldn't get into Tsinghua University. As for winning third prize, it's a good thing you didn't give me a thank you participation award."

Yes, any participating contestant can at least get third prize.

Seeing that Ji Nan's patience was running out, the host hurried to comfort him.

"Last question, last question," the host said quickly. "During the blindfolded mango feeding competition, this handsome guy fed the mango directly into the young lady's nose. I wonder if the young lady was even a little angry?"

Zhong Jiajing: "No, I'm quite generous and never bother about trivial matters."

Ji Nan: "She is very protective of her food. She has to smell it to see if there is any other pig's scent before eating."

The whole audience burst into laughter, but to be honest, the main point Ji Nan wanted to express was the word "little pig", which refers to his humble self.

Who knows what the audience's train of thought is, they interpreted it as Zhong Jiajing being a piglet protecting its food, which is quite helpless.

The quiet image that Zhong Jiajing had maintained throughout the whole process was ruined in this way. It was impossible for her to say that she didn't want to hit him.

But after all, she had obtained what she loved, and her anger was calmed down a lot, so she mercifully ranked Ji Nan in the A area.

Zhong Jiajing also leaned over the gap and stared at him, "The thing you and Xiaozhu are most similar in is that your eyes don't glow at night."

Ji Nan squatted down and put his mouth close to her ear. "Didn't you say last time that you wanted to make friends with other species? Do you want to meet me, Old Pig, today?"

Zhong Jiajing found it hard to imagine how such a cool and handsome guy could call out the name "Old Pig" so calmly and indifferently. The tone was as ordinary as when he called for number 25 to pick up the food in the store.

Her ears felt hot, but her heart felt cold. "No, Chang'e still wants to depend on the Jade Rabbit for her life."

Ji Nan was sad three times in just twenty-four hours, one of which was as mentioned above, when his sister Chang'e refused to be intimate with him.

As for the second thing, it has to start from noon of the next day.

The boss's creepy smile from yesterday was frozen this morning. Xiaobai was a little nervous, fearing that he would suffer unexpected disaster if he made a small mistake.

Life without having to prepare for exams is truly blissful, and not being attacked by Ji Nan's sharp tongue is even more of a blessing. She wants to enjoy this wonderful life for a few more days.

When several colleagues raised their hands and nominated her as a representative to go out and inquire about the reason, she knew that today would be another cruel day with continuous rain and thunder.

"You've already circled in front of me seven times. If it weren't for the stereotyped behavior, I'd really find it hard to understand your movements." Ji Nan said to Xiaobai, who circled in front of him again. "Or, if you said you were preparing a waltz for Children's Day next year, I can actually understand that."

The generous and kind man yesterday was indeed an illusion. Xiaobai is now extremely certain of his guess.

She leaned in closer and asked in a voice almost as low as a mosquito's hum, "Boss, were you dumped? Because of this shameful mouth."

Ji Nan sneered, "I'm sorry to disappoint you, because what you said is completely wrong."

"I don't know where you found a witch to teach you, but I'm sure your curse will have no effect at all."

"Unorthodox practices must be banned. What the country needs are people who believe in science. Go back and reflect on this."

Xiaobai muttered, "But you just said yesterday that I was a talent the country needed."

Ji Nan thought of the Boonie Bears movie he watched with his niece last year. "Go ask King Jiji if he's short of help."

Xiaobai: Thank you, please don’t hurt me if you don’t love me!

The whole point of Ji Nan's emo in the morning was that Zhong Jiajing refused to have lunch with him.

The reason was not that she was still angry, but that she wanted to solve the lunch problem in the company cafeteria.

As we all know, Shanghai is a deadly city where there is no lunch break and people rely solely on coffee and strong will to survive.

People like Zhong Jiajing who can't bear to stay up late at night with their phones especially need a lunch break. She calculated that if she spent the one-hour lunch break with Ji Nan, she would not only have to spend time on the journey, but also have to chat and be intimate with him. Then her lunch break, which was better than nothing, would be a bit too tight.

But if she had lunch in the cafeteria, she could at least take a nap for half an hour, which was enough for her to have a private reunion with Zhou Gong. It was more cost-effective no matter how you looked at it.

Ji Nan stood outside the store, looking at the building opposite with a resentful look on his face. Xiaobai called it the Wife-Looking Stone (the mute version of the poisonous one).

A mother and son passed by the store. The young mother was holding a math test paper with a score of 57 and was seriously criticizing a boy who was about five or six years old.

"You can't find a wife if you don't study. How can you have the nerve to have a crush on Xiaoxiao from the next class when you're like this?"

Ji Nan said quietly, "Yes, if the kid doesn't study, he won't even be qualified to live in the building across the street when he grows up, so how can he find a wife?"

Xiao Bai asked curiously, "Boss, you studied abroad for seven years just to get a high school diploma?"

"I really envy you. If my mind was as simple as yours, I wouldn't have anything to worry about." Ji Nan looked at her meaningfully.

Very good, I was dissed again.

Sometimes Xiaobai really wants to secretly sign Ji Nan up for a rap competition. Just with his mouth, he can probably carry the whole place. It's too real and too hip-hop.

As for the last sad thing, we need to skip to the time when we get off work.

Ji Nan got off work on time at five o'clock and went home to become a beautiful wife. Not only did she prepare a table full of delicacies from land and sea, she also made the delicious crab roe burger that Zhong Jiajing had been craving.

"I've watched many episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants in a limited time, but unfortunately, I haven't discovered the secret recipe for a delicious Krabby Patty yet. You'll have to make do with this for now." Ji Nan pointed to the burger in front of Zhong Jiajing.

"It doesn't matter. If you can get it so easily, then Boss Pi's life will have been in vain." Zhong Jiajing muttered after taking a big bite.

The personal innovation of this burger should account for a considerable part. The taste is obviously more down-to-earth than other dishes. Zhong Jiajing was very satisfied with the meal.

In the middle of the process, she called and said that the upstairs neighbor had sent some fruit as a thank you, for their tolerance for their renovation work over the past few days.

Ji Nan remained noncommittal. "You're not home for a while, and the fruit might rot before you can eat it. Why don't you just accept it?"

Zhong Jiajing said, "Is it possible that she called to inform me that the renovation is finished?"

She glanced at the furry children, feeling quite reluctant to leave. "I'll pack my luggage today and move back tomorrow."

After all, their relationship has not reached the stage of living together, and a short stay is not suitable for a long time.

Ji Nan remained silent. Three blows in one day completely defeated the fragile little piglet.

Zhong Jiajing asked softly, "Are you sad?"

"No, I'm not sad at all." Ji Nan looked up at her with a deep gaze, "Because I still have three children to accompany me, but you have to be alone. I really feel sorry for you."

A self-torture scheme? Zhong Jiajing had already seen through it.
