In a small, dilapidated building next to the construction site lived a young girl who was obedient and sweet. He Zhi observed her for several days and finally couldn't suppress his little schem...
Chapter 61: You want me to apply this thing?
Su Yan exclaimed, "Why did you suddenly think of this?"
She didn't think it was boring to stay at home every day before, but since he moved in, she did feel empty sometimes.
Even though the house wasn't big, she would feel it was empty from time to time.
"Several times when I came back, I saw you curled up on the sofa, looking so pitiful as if you were abandoned by me. I was afraid that one day you would become depressed, so I thought it would be better to find you something to do."
Rather than letting her go out to work, He Ji would rather let her stay at home so that he can see her as soon as he comes back every day, but this is obviously not possible.
The child has indeed been talking a lot more in front of him recently, but when facing outsiders, he talks even less than before.
When he was around, she didn't even want to say a word.
Su Yan: ...
She was a little depressed, but not to the point of being depressed.
"So what am I going to do?"
"What do you want to do? If you want to open a small shop, it would be nice."
As soon as he finished speaking, He Ji shook his head and rejected it. He would not be here for a while, so opening a convenience store was obviously not an option.
Besides, there will be a lot of people in the convenience store, and she may not be able to hold on.
"How about opening a flower shop? Do you like growing flowers?"
After thinking of more than a dozen kinds, He Ji felt that only growing flowers seemed to be the most suitable for her.
Su Yan's eyes lit up. A flower shop? She had thought about it before, but because she had no money, she had to shelve the plan.
"Is this okay? I've planted a few pots of flowers before, but they weren't very successful."
Since she liked this, He Ji felt that everything was not a problem. He didn't expect to make money from this anyway.
"It's okay, let's take it slow. If you don't know something, you can look it up online. You can always learn it."
The matter was settled, and the next morning, He Ji went to look for a store. He didn't want her to go too far away from home, so he looked for one near the community.
All the shops near the community were rented out. He searched for two days before finding an inconspicuous shop at the very edge.
The store owner was going to develop in another city and the lease still had more than three years left. He Ji was too lazy to bargain with the other party and just nodded.
After finding a store, it needed to be renovated. He pulled Lin Er, who was busy and dizzy, over and asked them to renovate this first.
Lin Er stared at the blueprint for a moment, then looked up and asked foolishly, "Brother, have we fallen to this point now?"
It would have been fine if he had only found a house to work in, but now he's even taking on jobs in a store the size of a palm.
Compared with the work I did before, it’s really shabby now.
He Ji, holding a cigarette between his teeth, slapped him on the head and said, "What the hell are you dreaming about? This is my store."
Lin Er was stunned by the slap. It took him a while to regain his composure. He uttered a cry and looked around. Seeing that no one else was paying attention, he lowered his voice and asked, "Brother, are you bankrupt?"
"If you go bankrupt, just let me know. I have some money here that can help you out in an emergency."
"Don't worry, based on our friendship, I won't charge you interest."
The latter sentence has a hidden meaning.
He Ji looked at his wretched face and slapped him again.
"roll!"
"Okay!"
Lin Er turned and ran, but returned a few minutes later. He scratched his head, puzzled, "Brother, if you're not broke, why are you renting this tiny place?"
The room is so small that he feels crowded when he comes in.
"Open a flower shop and let the kids at home have fun."
Lin Er: ...
It turns out that he has money but nowhere to spend it. The store with a monthly rent of tens of thousands of yuan is just used for fun.
"Stop talking nonsense and get to work. Find a few people and we can finish the job in half a day."
"I'm going to go to Lao Yang's place tomorrow to see if there are any nice flowers. I'll bring some back."
Lin Er said "oh" and walked aside to make a phone call, asking them to send the things they needed, and also made a few sarcastic remarks.
He Ji had other things to do at the construction site, so after giving his instructions, he turned around and left without staying any longer.
After running around several construction sites and spending several hours in the sun, he successfully became two shades darker. When he appeared at the door, Su Yan almost didn't recognize him.
Looking at her silly look, He Ji lifted up his vest, wiped the sweat from his face, and reached out to push her in.
"You don't recognize your man after just a few hours of not seeing him?"
Su Yan stepped back, avoiding his sweaty hands, and looked at him warily, afraid that he would suddenly pounce on her.
He was clean when he went out, so why did he change when he came back? He was so dark that I couldn't even see him at night without turning on the lights.
When I wake up in the middle of the night, I’m afraid to find out that there’s someone sleeping next to me. I try my best to stare but I can’t see anything.
"Go find a pair of pants. I'm going to take a shower first."
Su Yan said "oh" and quickly went into the house. When she came out, she was holding her pants in one hand and a facial mask in the other.
"It was given to me as a gift when I bought something. I just checked and it's still two months away from expiring. You can try applying it."
He Ji: ...
"You want me to apply this stuff?"
Su Yan nodded, her tone innocent, "You're already so dark, if you don't have this, I'm afraid I won't be able to find you in the middle of the night."
He Ji: ...
How could this kid always say the most infuriating things in the most innocent tone?
He's a little dark, but it's not so dark that we can't find him.
He raised his arm to take a look, then he tutted his lips and said, "How did it become so dark?"
He had never noticed that he tanned so easily before.
After staring at Su Yan for a long time, He Ji finally gave in first. It was not for any reason, but because he was afraid that she really couldn't find him in the middle of the night.
"Wait until I finish my shower, then you can help me with this."
He lived to be over 30 years old and had never even touched this thing, but today, for her, he was willing to give up everything.
Su Yan nodded with a smile, revealing two small canine teeth. He Ji saw it and found it particularly glaring.
How could she be so happy when doing these things that made him unhappy?
"Kid, come in and rub my back."
He Ji said this without caring whether Su Yan agreed or not, and directly dragged the person in.
The words of refusal were still circling in her mouth when the bathroom door closed. Watching him take off his vest with one hand, Su Yan turned around silently.
Although she said she would help him wipe his back, Su Yan didn't do it in the end. She just stood aside with a stern face, watching him wash from head to toe.
When she came out, she felt that her face was no longer her own, as he had already taken it away.
He Ji followed her out with a smile on his face, obviously in a very good mood.
Looking at Su Yan's messy steps, he whistled and said with a smile: "Kid, continue tomorrow too."
Su Yan turned around abruptly, glaring at him through gritted teeth, "Don't even think about it."
If he calls her again tomorrow, she will hide outside and wait for him to finish washing before coming back.
Her face was now red, with a hint of spring in the corners of her eyes, and her voice was soft and gentle. Even though she pretended to be fierce, she had no intimidating power at all, instead she sounded like she was acting coquettishly.
