"Xiaoxi, you are still young. There are some wrong things that we should not do. Money gained through fraud, deception, or illegal means is not reliable." Cheng Cheng lowered his head slightly and stroked Jiang Xi's head.
It was strange that Jiang Xi didn't feel any discomfort at all when Manager Cheng's big palm fell down like a palm-leaf fan.
It's like...
elder brother.
Jiang Xi stopped talking.
Cheng Cheng said goodbye to the father and daughter, humming an out-of-tune song and walking away slowly in his slippers.
"Jiangxi."
Seeing that she was about to leave without saying a word, Lu Hao couldn't help but call out to her. The young man's voice echoed in the thick night, as weak as a cat.
"This is..." Jiang's father looked at him warily. Jiang Xi was worried for himself. Although early love in high school was not uncommon in Shen City, no parent would be happy to see it happen.
"Hello, uncle. I am Jiang Xi's classmate."
Lu Hao had a gentle and clean face, and he looked like a child from a good family. Father Jiang said, "Hello, classmate Jiang."
Jiang Xi pulled his father aside and said, "Dad, wait here. I have something to tell him."
Father Jiang looked at her suspiciously, but his daughter had been much more composed since she came back, so he didn't think much about it and agreed casually.
"Jiang Xi, I'm sorry."
Jiang Xi looked up at Lu Hao. He was taller than Cheng Cheng and could almost cover her when he stood in front of her, but she started to feel uncomfortable even when she was one meter close to him.
"You haven't wronged me."
Lu Hao stood in front of her, listening to the girl's sweet voice ringing in his ears.
"Lu Hao, you just came here normally, saw your classmates, and greeted them normally. But you didn't expect that your classmate was doing an unusual cosplay, which caused some bad consequences..."
"So, although you're sorry, it's only a small apology, not as great as the panic you feel when you realize you're going to lose me."
The girl's tone was unexpectedly calm, almost cold.
The night wind blew through the camphor trees beside the road, and the leaves rustled. Lu Hao felt a chill all over his body. After a while, he found his voice again: "...I apologize."
"I apologize for not noticing your unusualness sooner. I apologize for almost ruining your job. And last time, I didn't trust you firmly enough, and I apologize too. Xiaoxi..."
He looked at her almost pleadingly, "Forgive me."
Jiang Xi looked at him silently.
Under the flickering street lights, the boy has delicate features, and even his gray high school uniform seems to be carrying the whistling wind of youth.
This is what she liked when she was sixteen.
There is probably such a person in every girl's adolescence.
He has good grades, good looks, is generous, and has many friends. He meets all the girl's definitions of beauty. He seems strong and omnipotent, a natural pride. If you can have a relationship with this pride, your youth will be complete.
Jiang Xi's adolescence was only halfway complete when a huge gap appeared in her life. She was pulled forward by the emptiness of those twelve years, while Lu Hao was still standing there, looking around.
"I'm sorry. It's not a matter of forgiveness or not. We are... not on the same path now."
Not the same kind of people?
What's the meaning?
Lu Hao was a little dazed.
He was dragged out by his uncle today. Before coming here, he was thinking about how to reconcile with Jiang Xi. Meeting her was an unexpected surprise, but he didn't expect it to be an unexpected shock.
Lu Hao has always had smooth sailing since he was a child. The only big fall he suffered was caused by Jiang Xi.
When love was at its sweetest and most passionate, he was pinched off the core of his flower by the other party with one hand. He was neither willing to accept it nor understood why.
He was unwilling to accept it, so why did he break up just like that?
He didn't understand either. How could it just disappear like that?
If Jiang Xi had not experienced this incident, the two of them would have continued on the same path smoothly as everyone else, and perhaps after graduation, they would have separated naturally like everyone else.
Young people are passionate, but this love is unstable and easily cools down.
But Jiang Xi pinched it mercilessly, but instead of cutting off the root, he left a thorn in the boy's chest.
Lu Hao looked at the thorn in front of him, feeling a mixture of love and hate. He loved her coldness and hated her for giving up so easily.
"Isn't it just a job?"
Lu Hao missed the point. "I'll arrange eight or ten portions for you later. Just wait!"
As they were talking, a red Maserati drove up with great fanfare and stopped beside them. Tang Gu's pale, chubby face poked out, "Haohao, what are you doing?"
"Uncle, you're here just in time." Lu Hao pointed at Jiang Xi, "Is your studio still short of people? Find a job for my classmate."
Shen City is so small that we bump into it just by going in a circle - Jiang Xi thought with a smile as he watched Fatty Tang's white skin and filling turn into a purple potato shell.
The last shoe finally fell off.
Fatty Tang looked at Jiang Xi in amazement.
...Second year of high school? Doesn't that mean she's underage?
Fatty Tang quickly took the still-warm contract next to him and flipped through it. "I'm an adult now? Exactly eighteen."
"Jiang Xi, come here."
Fatty Tang walked with his two big, thick legs, slammed the car door, and didn't even bother to take out the car keys. He swung the contract around and walked around Jiang Xi. Finally, with his impressive eyesight, he discovered a clue. He tensed his short legs, raised his hand, and took off the hood that Jiang Xi had been wearing all day.
The black hairnet holds her short hair tightly, revealing her entire face.
Under the light, even though the face had drawn eyelashes, blush and lipstick on, without the cover of the curly hair, it still revealed a bit of youthfulness.
"The contract is void. I never cooperate with people who tell lies."
Tang Gu said coldly.
Lu Hao was stunned: Did he mess up again?
