Chapter 12

"What did you say in the afternoon?" He Jin bit his cigarette, and the sound of the flint rubbing against each other was particularly harsh at night.

"Hey, after you got the call and went back, Jiang Xiaoxu came to see you. I told her something happened at home and that I had gone back. Then, for some reason, she became sad and asked me about your family situation." At this point, Song Li paused and suddenly laughed. "I'm not saying this, but Jiang Xu is really funny. She believes everything I say."

He Jin held the cigarette in his hand, placed it at his side, and slowly exhaled without any reaction.

Song Li also lit a cigarette and continued, "At the time, I was thinking that if I told the truth, it might ruin your plan. According to your routine of hiding your identity, I just said that your family was in such a miserable state."

As he spoke, he moved closer to He Jin like a flatterer, "Brother Jin, do you think I know how to handle current affairs?"

"Get lost." He Jin leaned aside, and Song Li almost fell to the ground. He hadn't yet come to a conclusion about whether this matter was right or wrong. He never did anything he wasn't sure of, but this word was an exception. He backed off again and again, but he just couldn't refuse. He knew clearly that this didn't belong to him, but what if?

There were some things that Song Li didn't understand. When he was in the first year of high school, he and He Jin knew each other through fighting. He had never seen someone as arrogant as He Jin. They had some arguments and then fought. To be precise, he was beaten one-sidedly. After that, he shamelessly clung to He Jin, and they started playing together.

Then, in the second half of the semester of my second year of high school, I had a fight with He Yu and others, and only then did I know that He Jin was from the He family. The He family is very powerful and is the leading real estate company in L City.

In addition, He Jin never talked about his family affairs, so Song Li naturally thought that He Jin was a low-key big boss.

Not many people in the school knew about this relationship. He Yu hoped that He Jin would disappear, so he naturally would not reveal anything about He Jin's background.

Song Li was still puzzled: "Brother Jin, why don't you tell Jiang Xiaoxu about this? She still thinks you are a poor student."

He Jin's eyes were heavy, and his lips were curled, but he didn't feel a little cold. He didn't press the cigarette butt into the trash can beside him until the cigarette burned out and burned his hand. He said in an unclear tone: "Yes, I am."

He has never admitted that he is a member of the He family. He is not now and will not be in the future. All he has is himself. There are too many things that are beyond his control. The only thing he can do is to hold on to his own floating duckweed.

But why did she choose him?

It's okay to like his appearance, at least he has this, which can make him feel more at ease with the current situation.

Song Li was stunned and didn't understand what He Jin meant. He put out the cigarette in the trash can beside him and followed He Jin in.

——

Jiang Xu lay on the bed, his mind empty, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Ah, we were together today, and we even kissed. Thinking of this, Jiang Xu pulled the quilt over her face, rolled around on the bed with it, picked up her phone, looked at the pure black avatar at the top of WeChat, opened it, and changed the note to [My delicate flower]

Looking at these words, Jiang Xu buried his face in the quilt, rolled over with a smile, and thought of something. He took a screenshot of a white picture, changed his avatar, and then sent a message to himself. The two of them put their WeChat accounts together, and they looked quite compatible.

But why do I feel like a pervert in love?

Jiang Xu thought for a moment and began to poke the keyboard on the screen: [I’ve made up my mind]

There was no reply from the other side for a long time. Suddenly, the WeChat call interface appeared above, and then a voice popped up. Before Jiang Xu could react, his hand had already answered the call.

The phone vibrated and the boy's deep voice came, "Hmm?"

There was some noise from the other side, and one could even hear the clatter of billiard balls. Jiang Xu remained silent, and then the other side also quieted down. After a moment of silence, Jiang Xu said, "He Jin, have you had dinner yet?"

He Jin glanced at the time. It was half past eight. He answered truthfully, "No."

"..." It was just a casual question. "You have a game tomorrow, so you need to eat well."

"Yeah." He Jin laughed, "Come and eat with me."

Jiang Xu asked, "Where are you?"

He Jin replied quickly: "Across from your house."

There was a busy street across from the residential complex, and there seemed to be a billiard club there. Jiang Xu thought for a moment and said, "Then wait for me, I'll come find you."

"good."

Jiang Xu wore a nightgown that was longer than her knees, casually put on a coat and went out.

Jiang Yuanshan and Yu Jin hadn't returned yet. Little Jiang You was watching TV on the sofa. Jiang Xu, wearing her shoes, said to little Jiang You, "Xiao You, turn off the TV at 8:40. Go brush your teeth and wash your face. You can't watch TV for so long in a day."

Little Jiang You lay on the sofa, "Sister, where are you going?"

Jiang Xu said gently, "I have something to do, so you can't come with me. I'll read to you when I come back."

"Okay." The little guy drooped his head dejectedly.

"Xiao Xu is going out." The aunt who was cleaning the kitchen came out after hearing the sound.

"You should wear more clothes. It's a bit cold outside."

Jiang Xu opened the door: "It's okay, Aunt Qiu, I'll be back soon. After you've cleaned up, go home and rest."

"Okay, be careful."

Jiang Xu had just opened the small gate to the yard when he saw He Jin leaning against the wall. "Brother Jin, why are you here?"

He Jin: "Yeah, I want to see you soon."

Jiang Xu suddenly stopped and stared at his face carefully.

He Jin asked, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Xu's serious tone didn't sound fake: "Are you still the Brother Jin I know?" Why was he suddenly so straightforward? Didn't he answer her question before?

He Jin looked at her with deep eyes: "Miss Jiang said that she would support me, so of course I have to provide good service. How could I let you come to me?"

Jiang Xu was stunned. What?! Keeping someone as a sponsor?! ! When did she say that?! ! ! ! !

It’s over, it’s over. I must have been too carried away in the afternoon. I just nodded in response to the question.

Seeing the girl's disheveled face, he naturally realized that she hadn't heard him speak that afternoon. He naturally took Jiang Xu's hand and said with a smile, "Let's go."

The two of them were walking in front, not noticing the people hiding in the bushes behind them. "Brother Jin, why are you so squeamish about being in a relationship? You even need someone to accompany you for a meal."

"Tsk, you don't understand. This is called romance. If you had a girlfriend like Jiang Xu, you wouldn't be clinging to her every day. She has a slim waist, long legs, and decent breasts. She looks like a fairy, and she's so damn proactive. As soon as Brother Jin agreed, she took his first kiss."

"I used to think Brother Jin was a blockhead. Who would have thought that dating would involve such complicated schemes?"

"Hey, no more watching, let's go eat. I'm starving."

The two of them entered a spicy hot pot restaurant. It was quiet and there were few people.

"Brother Jin, have you eaten enough?" The girl sat opposite him, resting her chin on her hand, looking at him from the table.

He Jin looked at the large portion of spicy hot pot that the boss had just brought over and felt helpless: "Are you raising pigs?"

Jiang Xu reacted quickly this time: "Replenish your energy and provide excellent service."

To defeat you.

Jiang Xu supported her chin and watched him eat. The last time she went to eat Malatang with them, she found that He Jin especially liked spicy food, so she ordered a spicy one.

Suddenly I remembered the first time I saw He Jin, I felt a fatal attraction from him, and there was no sense of incongruity between his temperament and appearance.

This cannot be blamed on her, because she has been an absolute face control since she was a child, and has made great achievements in this regard. As long as it does not violate the moral bottom line, she basically follows one principle: as long as you look good, whatever you say is right.

He Jin takes a completely opposite path from the sunny young boys of youth, but this makes girls of this age unable to resist being moved. Sometimes he exudes a coldness from the bottom of his heart, making it impossible for people to approach him, and he often exudes laziness and doesn't care about anything. His unpredictable feeling makes people fascinated.

Jiang Xu has been spoiled since childhood, and has grown up smoothly and freely. He will actively fight for what he wants.

Even if you have never pursued someone before, you know that you cannot give others the opportunity to poach you.

She doesn't care about other people's opinions, but only cares about the feelings of the people she cares about. She instinctively protects her shortcomings and has a clear distinction between hatred and hate. She is like the sun, bringing warmth wherever she goes.

No matter how big the iceberg is, it will melt when it encounters the scorching sun. It may only take a moment for it to completely collapse.

——

I don’t know how long it took, but when I came out, there were only a few cars on the road.

Although it is the beginning of winter in L City in November, it is not very cold in the south.

It was just that the night was very cold and windy. Although Jiang Xu's nightgown was thick, the cold air penetrated her skin and made her shiver.

He Jin took off his coat and put it on Jiang Xu, then zipped it up to the top, put the hat on her head, held her hand tightly, interlocking their fingers to convey warmth.

Arriving at the door, He Jin pressed down the brim of the girl's hat and pinched her tender cheeks. "Go in. See you tomorrow."

Jiang Xu's eyes were still bright, without a trace of fatigue: "See you tomorrow."

Jiang Xu inserted the key into the door, paused, turned around suddenly, took off his hat, put it on his head, put his cold fingers on his face, and then stood on tiptoe and quickly touched the corner of his lips.

Without waiting for He Jin's reaction, he quickly rushed in and stuck half of his head out. The blush on his face was not obvious in the dim light, only his eyes were still bright. He whispered, "Good night."

He Jin still kept one hand in his pocket, lowered his head and smiled, feeling very happy: "Good night."

After a while, He Jin saw that Jiang Xu was still peeking out and had no intention of entering the room. He rubbed her head gently and said, "Go to bed early. Children need to go to bed early so that they can grow taller."

Jiang Xu nodded subconsciously, closed the door, and watched He Jin's gradually shrinking figure through the peephole. She reacted belatedly and tapped the peephole lightly with her fingers. She was not a child, but a girlfriend.
