Chapter 1 Rejection and Rejection
◎Perhaps you need to provide dog walking services?◎
Zhong Jiajing fell in love with a Samoyed.
From afar, a soft, fluffy white cloud was slowly drifting towards me. Oh no, perhaps using something as sweet as cotton candy would be a more appropriate way to describe this smiling angel.
Zhong Jiajing admitted that she was being held in a tight grip. When the sunny puppy with a bright smile passed by her, she couldn't help but reach out and secretly stroked the dog's snow-white fur.
After receiving the friendly greeting, the enthusiastic dog immediately turned its fat body and pounced on Zhong Jiajing. Zhong Jiajing opened her arms to welcome him, but saw the dog owner tighten the leash. From then on, the man and the dog had the farthest distance in the world.
"Sorry, it's quite lively. I hope it didn't scare you?" The dog owner's cold voice came from above his head.
Zhong Jiajing glanced upwards randomly and then squatted down to look the dog in the eye. "No, no, I really like dogs."
Perhaps the dog owner understood her true thoughts and wisely loosened half of the rope, allowing his dog to lick his fat face and interact with the young girl in front of him.
Her best friend had already taken a hundred or eighty photos with the puppy. Ye Yaying felt a little awkward standing aside. She pretended to shake her hand and bumped Zhong Jiajing's shoulder, then raised her eyebrows to signal her to look up.
After nearly four years of roommate friendship, Zhong Jiajing instantly understood the meaning of her expression. She grabbed the dog's ears with both hands, raised her head and looked up along the dog leash.
The golden afterglow of the May evening sprinkled on the man's angular and superior face. His calm dark eyes were illuminated by the setting sun, clearly reflecting Zhong Jiajing's figure, making Zhong Jiajing feel a little dizzy when looking at him.
Ji Nan didn't feel embarrassed at all about being caught. His eyes were still on the beautiful girl in front of him, or on the pink bow hair tie tied in her high ponytail.
"I'm glad you're okay. We'll be leaving first." He left after saying this.
"Hey, stop it first!" Zhong Jiajing hurriedly stood up to stop the other party, but unexpectedly the dizziness became even stronger, and her body fell towards the man completely out of control.
Ji Nan frowned and helped the man steady himself. He withdrew his hand and asked, "Is there anything else?"
I don’t know if it’s because of the hot weather or something else, but Zhong Jiajing’s face is incredibly red.
She hung her head a little embarrassedly, "Well, maybe you need dog walking services?"
"?" Ji Nan had no idea what she wanted to say.
Ye Yaying also looked horrified. Why did these words sound somewhat similar to those small colored cards that were stuffed into ATM machines on the street in the past?
"Yeah, that," Zhong Jiajing stammered. "I'm a senior at the Jiaotong University next door. I'm graduating this June. I've already finished my thesis project, and aside from waiting for my defense, I don't have anything else to do, so I'm pretty free."
so what?
At this moment, these words were clearly written on Ji Nan's delicate face.
"So, can I help walk your dog?" Zhong Jiajing asked, her real question. Afraid the other party wouldn't agree, she quickly added, "I can mortgage my student ID and ID card. If necessary, I'll even give you my bank card. And I'm willing to pay you 25 yuan an hour. You know, the quality of us college students is absolutely guaranteed."
"So, do you need dog walking services?" she asked again carefully.
Ji Nan stared at her for a long time before speaking, "Forget the money, just remember to bring your ID and student ID."
"Oh yeah!" Zhong Jiajing did not hide her joy at all.
Before Ji Nan left, she asked for his WeChat.
The other person's name is mini zoo, and he has a cat-shaped latte art avatar on his head.
She was so engrossed in watching that Ye Yaying clicked her tongue and said, "Amazing! You managed to easily capture a handsome man of this level."
Zhong Jiajing admitted that the other party did have a face as beautiful as a fairy, but her heart had already been taken away by the charming puppy, so there was no room for anything else.
"No? Why don't you worry that I'll be cheated?" She was dissatisfied with the other party's loveless behavior.
Ye Yaying sneered mercilessly, "You're lucky they didn't call the police about you stealing the dog."
After returning home at night, Zhong Jiajing was so itchy that she paced back and forth three times in the narrow corridor of the dormitory.
Ye Yaying, who was playing PUBG, couldn't stand the feeling of being attacked from behind at any time. After being killed once again, she finally couldn't help but ask, "If your butt is itchy, scratch it. Can you sit down for a while?"
"Can you speak more elegantly?" Zhong Jiajing asked something else.
"Okay, sit for a while. If you feel uncomfortable, I'll scratch your butt."
Zhong Jiajing paid no attention to the other person's vulgar remarks. She continued, "Tell me, if I apply to walk the dog tomorrow, wouldn't it seem a bit too hasty?"
After all, I just separated from the dog in the afternoon.
Ye Yaying had no idea of the little girl's thoughts in her mind. She just wanted to get rid of her and make her behave. "Isn't it just a dog walk? Why are you making it like a date? There's nothing wrong with asking."
Zhong Jiajing agreed with this and spent a long time deleting and editing before she mustered up the courage to send a message.
Ji Nan received the message just after taking a shower.
Highly qualified dog-walking college student: [Hello, can I go walk my dog tomorrow? ]
This is Zhong Jiajing’s self-note when she requested to be a friend.
Ji Nan casually wiped his dripping black hair with a towel, then walked to the window, pulled open the thick curtains and glanced outside.
It will rain tomorrow.
Just four simple words, without even any punctuation marks, Zhong Jiajing felt heartbroken instantly. This was even more heartbreaking than when she confessed her love to the class monitor in the second grade of elementary school and was rejected.
If you can't kill a cockroach, then become one. This was the motto Zhong Jiajing set for herself after a restless night.
It's only May, but the rainy season is already showing signs of approaching. Zhong Jiajing had never realized how much she hated rainy days. This rain had been drizzling for five days and nights, finally showing signs of stopping on Friday night.
She quickly checked the weather forecast for the next day, and after seeing the excellent weather of 25 degrees and sunny weather, she finally smiled for the first time in a long time.
But this was not enough. She took out the old almanac given by her grandfather and took a look at it. She was completely relieved when she saw the three big words "suitable for travel".
A series of raindrops rolled down the floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The puppy, who had not been able to go out for a long time, lay in front of the glass with a sad face. Ji Nan comforted the poor puppy with one hand and replied to messages with the other.
【I rest on weekends】
Apparently, beautiful weather and credible words from the old almanac were not enough to impress this cold-hearted man.
Things never happen more than three times, things never happen more than three times, things never happen more than three times.
Zhong Jiajing repeated the important words three times in her heart, but in the end she couldn't resist the temptation of sweetheart Ye Ye, and she sent the request again on Sunday night.
Is tomorrow morning okay?
Perhaps God also felt pity for her sincerity, and a reply of approval finally came from the cold man's mouth.
[Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock, please bring your ID card and student ID card to pick you up at the gate of XXX community]
Tonight, "overjoyed" means: a person who is overly happy bumps into the bed rails and hurts the tail of his eyebrows.
The next day was a sunny day. Zhong Jiajing dressed up beautifully and waited at the gate of the community early.
"Tsk, it said 8:35 when I opened it the previous second, and why is it still 8:35 when I opened it the next second?" The impatient woman seemed a little shameless at this moment.
She kicked the uneven spot on the ground fiercely. Of course, time would not go faster because of her unreasonable threat.
There was really no other way, so Zhong Jiajing decided to go out for a walk and buy some breakfast first, thinking that it would be just the right time to kill the unbearable time.
The residential complex is located in an expensive area of downtown Shanghai, so naturally the prices at nearby breakfast shops have also gone up. Zhong Jiajing endured the pain and bought two steamed dumplings, which are considered the Rolls-Royce of breakfast, and hurried back, not daring to even glance at the small cup of soy milk that was priced at seven dollars and fifty cents.
The timing was just right. When Zhong Jiajing rushed back to the downstairs of the community, Ji Nan was walking out with the angel baby.
Once again, Zhong Jiajing's soul was easily hooked away.
She completely forgot about the four dumplings for 42 yuan. She squatted in front of the dog and started snorting and giggling like a fool.
Ji Nan's mouth trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but pull the dog back a little.
"Give me your student ID and ID card. Return the dog to its original place at 12 o'clock. I'll pick it up after get off work." He said in a businesslike manner.
"Okay, okay." Zhong Jiajing honestly presented all her belongings that symbolized her status with both hands.
Only after Ji Nan carefully confirmed that the photo on her ID card and student ID was hers did he feel at ease and hand the dog leash to her.
"Its name is Duoduo. It might be a bit lively. If you see it jumping on you, remember to hold it back. After all, not everyone likes dogs." He looked at her with a pair of dark eyes. "If there is anything, please communicate with me in time. I will always check the news."
Then he handed her the plastic bag and said, "It usually doesn't go to the bathroom outside, but you should bring it with you just in case."
Zhong Jiajing nodded rapidly, "Yes, yes, yes. I promise to complete the task."
She saluted and handed over the expensive breakfast.
But Ji Nan just looked at it without moving, "What are you doing?"
"Don't be afraid, boss. We're not trying to please you. We're simply showing our filial piety to you," she said seriously.
Ji Nan didn't even blink when he heard such nonsense. He turned around and walked to the other end with the bag of steamed dumplings, "Well, I'm going to work."
Zhong Jiajing couldn't help but stick out her tongue at the man's tall back, "What kind of serious class can't last three hours in the morning?"
Ji Nan opened a coffee shop, which was only a ten-minute walk from his home. In this place where every inch of land is valuable, he managed to monopolize an area of over 100 square meters.
Walking into the restaurant, I saw a stylishly dressed, beautiful girl standing at the order counter. She was a planner for the gaming company across the street and a regular customer. She explained that she was either working overtime or on her way to work. The lights on the 23rd floor of the building across the street were burning all night, sapping her lifespan. Coffee had long been her life-saving elixir.
Yu Qiuya smiled as soon as she saw the person coming. "Boss Ji, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Am I honored to drink the coffee you made today?"
Ji Nan washed his hands, nodded, and asked, "Iced Americano?"
He is a typical lazy office worker who only spends a few hours in the store every day, but fortunately he does the work himself and does some practical work.
Yu Qiuya smiled shyly, "Well, I haven't been feeling well lately, so I can't drink anything cold."
Ji Nan remained calm when discussing such private matters, and simply suggested something else, "How about a cup of hot cocoa?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you." She replied with a smile.
The shop assistant on the side covered his mouth and laughed secretly. This Miss Yu had obviously taken a fancy to their boss. They blamed the boss for having a face that brought disaster upon him. They could see the same scene a hundred or eighty times a day, but after all these years, they had never seen that beautiful woman succeed. They all suspected that their boss had been cut off from love by God and could not tolerate even a grain of sand in his eyes.
Ji Nan clicked a few times on the computer and handed her a receipt. "Here, there's 875 yuan left on the card. Find a seat first."
Yu Qiuya took the receipt and sat down at the side with the best viewing seat. She couldn't help but sigh that people with good looks are pleasing to the eye no matter what they do.
She thought that the only thing that kept her at this crappy company was the free working hours and the handsome guy downstairs for her to cleanse her eyes with.
Ji Nan asked the waiter to bring out the hot cocoa, poured the still warm dumplings on the side into his plate, then picked up a cup of coffee and sat by the window.
It's weird, after all, no one would eat Chinese breakfast in a coffee shop casually. It feels as unreasonable as walking into a Cantonese sausage shop and ordering a Sichuan sausage.
Someone sitting nearby tried to take a secret photo. Ji Nan caught the person's location as soon as he raised his eyelids, scaring the other person so much that he immediately withdrew his hand.
Yu Qiuya sat down opposite him with a cup of coffee in her hand. "Are you destroying your own reputation?"
In addition to drinks, the store also sells desserts. Office workers around here always like to have a cup of coffee with a small cake for breakfast.
The store had cutlery like forks, but no chopsticks. Ji Nan calmly forked a bun into his mouth and said, "If you want coffee with weird-flavored fried rice tomorrow, no one will stop you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone on the table started buzzing.
It was a request for help from Zhong Jiajing.
[Perhaps your wealthy baby can eat xiaolongbao? ]

Pre-collect "When I Became the Niece-in-law of My Ex-Bf, a Scumbag", please add it to your collection!!!
(Stolen Love/Second Male Lead/Second Love Comes True/Sister-Brother Love)
Yunmian's breakup with her ex-boyfriend was outrageous. When she went with him to meet his parents, they actually ridiculed her because of her age. And the most important thing was that her cowardly boyfriend just kept acquiescing. Who could tolerate this?
But she is only 26, in the prime of her life. Isn't she more than qualified to be a match for his 34-year-old son?
Yun Mian was so angry that she slapped the scumbag. From then on, the two of them broke up and never had any contact again.
Yun Mian had just broken up with the scumbag when she was stopped under a tree by his nephew.
"My grandparents won't let you marry that cowardly old man?"
"What's the point of saying yes or no? It's just that I look down on your Gu family." Yun Mian choked, "Tsk, it's just a pity that you don't have the fate to have such a beautiful aunt like me."
Gu Chen sneered, "I never expected you to be my aunt."
Yun Mian pinched him, "I treated you so well, but I didn't expect you to be so heartless when you grew up."
Gu Chen stepped forward and hugged her waist, resting his chin on her shoulder. "You are wrong. I will always stand by you."
He tempted, "So, do you want to join me in forming a united front and take revenge on the scumbag together?"
Gu Chen is twenty years old this year and is incredibly handsome. Yun Mian was deceived and taken to a boat without realizing it...
The scumbag's parents were almost mad enough to vomit blood when they saw their grandson leading Yunmian home. Unfortunately, their grandson was a second-generation rich kid who was spoiled in their hearts, so they couldn't beat or scold him, and could only persuade him earnestly.
"With your conditions, you can find any beautiful young girl. Is it worth it to compete with your uncle for her?"
Gu Chen said nonchalantly, "I only like those who are six years older than me. I don't feel anything for those younger than me."
"Besides, what you said is quite insulting. What's the point of fighting or not? I saw it clearly when my girlfriend dumped him. I was promoted legitimately."
