Chapter 5 The one who falls in love first has already lost
Jiang Yining thanked He Chi.
In order to avoid a dull moment, Jiang Yining said sincerely, "Your bar is great. I've been to similar bars with my friends before, but none of them felt as comfortable as this one."
She said these words in such a serious tone that He Chi couldn't help laughing.
Jiang Yining looked at He Chi with confusion.
He Chi sat down across from her, his voice deep and magnetic, with a hint of laughter in it, "Sorry, I heard you speak so seriously, and I was wondering if you usually teach your students like this."
This sentence, which seemed like an explanation but was actually a bit of a joke, made Jiang Yining relax a lot.
She laughed and said, "Maybe it's my occupational disease."
He Chi said, "I understand."
After all, there are two teachers in his family.
Jiang Yining was out playing with friends, so He Chi didn't want to disturb them for too long. After chatting for a few more words, he left.
As soon as he stood up, the two people who were watching the gossip at the bar immediately lowered their heads with a furtive look.
Chen Ran asked his colleague, "Did you also see Brother Chi smiling just now?"
"Yes, I laughed more than once."
Chen Ran was really curious. When He Chi came over, he asked cunningly, "Brother Chi, who is that beautiful young lady?"
"Are you two familiar with each other?"
He Chi glanced at him and reminded him, "It's working time now, work hard."
He asked the bartender to make two new drinks and said to Chen Ran, "Send them to the table I just went to later, and bring some desserts over."
After saying that, He Chi turned around and reminded, "Don't talk too much when delivering things, so as not to make the guests uncomfortable."
Chen Ran chuckled, "Brother Chi, I understand."
He Chi paused, turned around and asked, "What do you understand?"
Chen Ran restrained himself a little, "Just don't ask around, or you'll make the girl shy."
He Chi: “…”
He glanced at Jiang Yining's table and saw that the girl who came with Jiang Yining had returned to her seat.
He Chi didn't stay for long. After retracting his gaze, he walked towards the office upstairs.
As soon as he left, Chen Ran immediately went to get two desserts that girls liked.
After the bartender prepared two glasses of wine, Chen Ran immediately handed them over. He said with a smile on his face, "Hello, this is something our boss specially asked me to bring over. Please enjoy it."
Chen Ran put down the two glasses of wine and said, "This is a new product that our store hasn't launched yet. No one else has it."
Jiang Yining saw that he was probably a few years younger than her and had a lively personality. She smiled and said, "Thank you."
Chen Ran put away the tray and didn't plan to leave. He asked with a smile, "Are you friends with our Brother Chi?"
Jiang Yining thought about it and said, "I guess so."
After getting the answer, Chen Ran chatted with Jiang Yining for a while, then didn't dare to disturb them anymore, so he went to get some fruit and brought it over.
As soon as the person left, Zhang Qiao nudged Jiang Yining with her elbow, "Ningning, listen to me, take He Chi down."
Jiang Yining almost choked on her wine. She almost reached out to cover Zhang Qiao's mouth and said seriously, "Don't say these things outside."
Zhang Qiao nodded apologetically, "Sorry, I won't do it again next time."
"But Ningning, I'm serious. I don't know how to put it, but I feel like he seems to be interested in you, too. Really."
Zhang Qiao recalled the look in He Chi's eyes when he first saw Jiang Yining. Based on her years of observing other people's love affairs and her own experience, she knew he was definitely right.
Jiang Yining just thought that Zhang Qiao had misunderstood.
Zhang Qiao had other concerns. "This man doesn't look simple. Of the two of you, you're most likely to be at a disadvantage."
The best situation for both men and women is when they are evenly matched. He Chi is obviously the kind of unruly man who is full of pride and is the most difficult to control.
Jiang Yining seemed to be thinking about something. After a while, she chuckled softly, "The one who falls in love first has already lost."
What's more, it has always been her one-sided love.
She also thought about compromising and liking someone else, but she couldn't force herself to take that step.
Her heart is very small, so small that it can only hold one person and no longer has room for another man.
During the summer vacation, she didn't have to go to work, but Zhang Qiao was very tired after a day of work.
Seeing Zhang Qiao yawning, Jiang Yining suggested, "Let's go back first."
"Come on, it's so hard to come out, why don't you sit for a while?"
Jiang Yining was packing up. "There will be plenty of opportunities later. Let's go home and rest first. I'm tired too."
Zhang Qiao smiled and did not refuse.
After returning home, Jiang Yining first changed Zhang Qiao's skirt and planned to return it after washing it.
Jiang Yining was standing in front of the sink in the bathroom, preparing to remove her makeup. Suddenly, she stopped what she was doing and looked at herself in the mirror.
It was the first time she wore such heavy makeup, a different style, but it looked good.
Normally, she was required to dress appropriately in class and was not allowed to wear heavy makeup. She was used to the rules and it was a rare opportunity for her to "rebel". Jiang Yining was actually a little reluctant to wash off her makeup.
I wonder what He Chi was thinking when he saw her tonight.
Thinking of the scene when He Chi walked towards her, Jiang Yining couldn't help but curl her lips and smiled silently.
After taking a shower, Jiang Yining blew her hair dry and it became long and straight again.
She curled her hair with a curling iron today, and thinking about how her slightly curly hair would look, it seemed pretty good.
After thinking about it, Jiang Yining decided to change his hairstyle tomorrow.
Passing by the living room, Jiang Yining saw Zhang Qiao coming out and said, "Qiaoqiao, I'm going to sleep first."
Zhang Qiao hummed, "Good night."
"good evening."
Back in the room, Jiang Yining turned on her cell phone and took a look. When she saw the missed call from her father, her mood instantly became bad.
In the past few years, especially after she moved out of her home, she increasingly didn't want to hear her father call her.
Jiang Yining was just about to throw the phone aside when it started vibrating before he could throw it away.
Jiang Wentao called Jiang Yining again.
Jiang Yining adjusted his mood and spoke in a calm, even indifferent voice, "What's the matter with calling me so late?"
He didn't even call out "Dad".
Jiang Wentao knew his daughter was angry with him. He sighed, "Ningning, are you still angry with Daddy?"
Jiang Yining denied, "No."
In fact, it was not too late at this time, it was not even half past ten, so he went outside specifically to call his daughter.
They both fell silent for a while before Jiang Wentao spoke, "Ningning, it was your Aunt Hong who was wrong this time. Dad apologizes to you on her behalf."
Listening to Jiang's father's apologetic voice, Jiang Yining pursed her lips and said nothing.
When her mother was still alive, the three of them were so happy and her parents loved her. But since her mother fell ill and spent all the family savings, and even had to borrow money from her uncle, everything seemed to have changed invisibly.
Chemotherapy not only consumes the family savings, but also slowly consumes a husband's love for his wife.
Jiang Wentao listened to Jiang Yining's silence and continued to explain, "Your Aunt Hong is also worried about Yangyang's studies. Don't blame her."
Jiang Yining sneered, "Dad, do you also want me to transfer the house to you?"
