Chapter 27 Threesome
◎Are you secretly in love with me?◎
"You didn't even ask for my home address, so how do you know I'm not going your way?" Ren Jiang glanced at him innocently and asked, "Boss Ji, don't you want to take me with you?"
Ji Nan raised the corner of his mouth, trying to smile. "How could that be? We're all adults. Even if you really don't want me to, you can't tell me openly, right?"
Isn't that obvious enough? Even the emperor in new clothes had to call him "Dad" in front of him. Zhong Jiajing opened her mouth in surprise.
But she didn't intend to join the argument, so she opened the back door and was about to get in.
After the sprain, she actually didn't feel any real pain anymore, and her condition wasn't serious to begin with. She could only blame these two grown men for making a fuss and simply returned the rented wheelchair before leaving the hospital.
She can now move freely, and getting on and off the car is no different from usual as long as she is a little more careful.
Ji Nan grabbed her elbow and said seriously, "You sit in the front."
"Why?" Zhong Jiajing turned around and looked at him, puzzled. "Why don't you just let Ren Jiang sit in the front?"
Ren Jiang also agreed with a smile, "At the very least, you can let me sit in the back with her. It'll be nice if you can't see me and won't be upset. How nice."
"Do you think I'm here to apply for a driver position today?" Ji Nan snorted coldly. "Anyway, one of you two has to sit in the front."
This is already the biggest concession the cold-hearted man has made. If he pushes any further, both of them will probably be thrown into the grass by the roadside to feed the snakes. Knowing when to quit is a good quality that a worker should possess.
Ren Jiang naturally chose the front row. Even if he couldn't succeed, he couldn't let Ji Nan succeed, right?
The atmosphere in the car was already a bit cramped, and the stingy Ji Nan didn't even want to play a song, making the atmosphere even more suffocating.
Ren Jiang sat in the car, feeling itchy all over. He thought for a moment and decided to break the deadlock. "Jia Jing, have you read the document Sister Lin sent in the group chat before leaving get off work yesterday? I think we could team up..."
"Stop, stop, stop," Zhong Jiajing shouted, covering her ears. "Brother, you're crossing the line, do you know?"
"Not only do I have to worry about this crappy job no less than five-sevenths of the week, but now you're trying to take over the remaining two-sevenths. That's simply too overbearing."
"Aren't you heartless? Aren't you being unreasonable? If you think about it, won't you be afraid? You are simply a spy for us workers. I declare that from now on, we are no longer partners in the same camp. Let's end our friendship."
Ren Jiang was stunned by what he said and sat there reflecting for a long time.
There was finally a hint of smile on Ji Nan's stern face, but in Ren Jiang's eyes, this was naked gloating!
He was unwilling to accept it, so he changed the subject, "I was wrong, I was completely wrong."
"I shouldn't lose my will while my body is enslaved by capital!"
"Well, let's skip the unpleasantness just now and talk about something else."
Zhong Jiajing responded without much interest, "Well, as long as you can still speak human language, then we can at least be friends."
Ren Jiang rubbed his hands and smiled shyly, "It's just that we've known each other for so long, I'm a little curious about what you think of me."
"He's quite handsome," Zhong Jiajing replied perfunctorily. Then, as if remembering something, she shifted her gaze from the phone screen to him. "He sings quite well, too."
"Heh." This time Ji Nan didn't even pretend, his sarcastic smile was clearly on his face.
Ren Jianggang's raised mouth corners were forced down again, he was a little unhappy, "Boss Ji, do you have any opinions?"
"I just didn't expect that Zhong Jiajing could remain calm even when she said something against her will. She's really admirable." Ji Nan glanced at the girl slumped in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
Zhong Jiajing sat up straight and said seriously, "You can say there's something wrong with the first half of my sentence, but you absolutely cannot deny the second half."
After all, this concerns her dignity. She firmly believes that her musical talent is still flourishing, but no one understands her.
Unfortunately, Ji Nan is not such a kind person.
"First of all, Ren Jiang's appearance doesn't fall within my aesthetic range, so if you ask me to praise him, it would be embarrassing for both my brain and mouth. They don't want to be traitors to my body, so please understand."
"As for the singing, I can only say that those with ears will understand it, so I won't say any more."
Zhong Jiajing & Ren Jiang: "......"
Very good, killing everyone equally.
The car finally regained its peace and quiet, and Ji Nan, in a good mood, finally decided to turn on his car music and play a little tune.
A slow piece of music came, it was Khalil Fong's "Threesome".
“…
Even if your love belongs to him,
Even if he still holds your hand,
Even if you are tired, I will be here.
One person travels, two people feel guilty, three people travel...”
Before the music officially started its climax, Ji Nan turned it off with a gloomy face.
Zhong Jiajing was still mumbling and humming along, and she was quite unhappy about being interrupted. "Don't you have a VIP account? You can't even let me finish a song?"
Ji Nan said coldly, "Although I really want to say something nice against my will, I'm sorry, but my ears think your singing is really a little scary."
"Besides, I'm a little worried that I'll have a nightmare tonight."
"Just as a favor, can we stop singing?"
"......" Zhong Jiajing regretted very much. She should have strangled him in that ward.
The car had driven most of the way when Ji Nan suddenly called out to the man who was still in emo mode, "How would I know where your home is if you don't stop?"
"Is it possible that my home is not on this road at all?" Ren Jiangyou said, "Boss Ji, isn't it too late for you to care about me now?"
"But it doesn't matter. Sending the girl home first is the code of conduct for good men in our new era. Boss Ji, just drive forward boldly."
Ji Nan was too lazy to pay attention to him. He just gripped the steering wheel so tightly that veins bulged slightly, and the car speed slowly increased.
After sending her downstairs to the community, considering the incident with the disgusting and smelly man, Ji Nan still planned to send Zhong Jiajing directly home.
It’s a pity that there are some ignorant people who insist on following.
Ji Nan looked at Ren Jiang, who was following closely beside him, with a bad temper, "How dare you break into a girl's bedroom?"
"I still need to think about it if I'm alone," Ren Jiang said with a bright smile, "but it would be nice if I could do it with you."
His teeth were so white that they shone brightly even indoors.
Ji Nan narrowed his eyes and saw that Bo Liang was about to say something "beautiful" when Zhong Jiajing intervened in time to stop the outbreak of this war.
She opened the door and jumped in.
"I am a kind and innocent person and I cannot stand seeing violence and killing."
"I wish for world peace." She slammed the door shut. "I hope all wars will be blocked outside this strong gate."
The two grown men stood outside the door, looking at each other, then went downstairs side by side with an "you treat me, I treat you" attitude.
The car was parked downstairs empty as it was before, but Ji Nan had no intention of sending Ren Jiang back alone.
He looked around and found two ATM machines across the street. Without saying a word, he walked over and withdrew two hundred yuan in cash.
Oh, and of course there’s a hefty four-dollar interbank fee.
"What? You want to bribe me with this?" Ren Jiang stared at the money suspiciously.
Ji Nan stood on the side of the road, hailed a taxi, and stuffed the money into his coat pocket.
"I'll take you home, no need to thank me." He patted his shoulder. "Of course, if you really don't want to go home, you can use this money to buy a business class ticket to Suzhou as a reward for yourself."
Ren Jiang pulled out two red bills and said, "A business class ticket costs over a hundred. Do you want me to go there and never come back?"
"You are so smart! If I were a kindergarten teacher, I would definitely give you a big red flower as a reward." Ji Nan said with a fake smile.
Ren Jiang said, "Tsk, as a teacher like you, you must have been dragged into dark alleys and beaten a lot, right?"
The two people who left had their own ulterior motives. The next afternoon, they both bumped into each other downstairs of Zhong Jiajing's community.
They were both speechless, but they tacitly agreed not to say a word.
After all, there is no point in saying more.
Zhong Jiajing was shocked when she opened the door. "You guys came to my doorstep just to have a showdown?"
Ji Nan answered quickly, "I'm busy. The three little guys haven't finished moving their things yet."
"Everyone has business to attend to." Ren Jiang raised the thermos in his hand. "My mom made some soup, and I'll give it to you to try."
People were blocking the door, and Zhong Jiajing felt embarrassed even if she really wanted to kick them out, so she had to reluctantly let the two people in.
As soon as he entered the house, Ren Jiang couldn't wait to show himself.
"They say that what you eat replenishes what you need. You should replenish your body while it's hot." He brought the soup with the unscrewed bottle cap to Zhong Jiajing.
Ji Nan leaned over to take a look. It was a soft stewed pig's trotter. He sneered, "The species is correct. How thoughtful of you."
"It's obvious that if the world wants peace, the first step is to silence your mouth." Zhong Jiajing kicked him viciously.
Ji Nan curved his lips and smiled, "Don't bother me, I'll shut up myself."
As he said that, he sat down next to Zhong Jiajing.
The soup is quite filling, just enough for three people to have a bowl each.
Zhong Jiajing took a sip and praised it very consciously, "It's delicious! If I could have this skill, I would just quit my job and open a stall."
Ren Jiang was very happy. "I must tell my mother your compliment exactly as it is. She will be so happy."
The two of them were flattering each other, and Ji Nan stared at them with some resentment.
He pondered for a while, and suddenly stood up the large photo of "family of four" that Zhong Jiajing had overturned on the table.
"Tsk, looks like I still need a photo frame." He said casually.
The angle of the photo was just right, almost as if Ren Jiang was holding the photo in his hands and looking at it. He suddenly couldn't laugh anymore.
Zhong Jiajing snatched the photo and stuffed it into the drawer, then angrily asked, "Aren't you here to clean up? Why are you still sitting there like an idiot?"
Ji Nan shrugged and leaned lazily against the sofa. "Your house is already small, and now there's someone who doesn't work and gets in the way. I can't do anything."
Ren Jiang certainly didn't want to be chased away. He smiled and said, "That's easy. I'll help you and it won't be a problem."
"It's quite troublesome. I don't want to take it back and wash it again." Ji Nan said calmly.
"......" Ren Jiang wanted to argue a few more times, but an untimely phone call called him away.
Ren Jiang left with a look of resentment on his face. Ji Nan was in a good mood about this and even generously invited him to his shop for coffee.
The weather today is not very good, it is gloomy, but Zhong Jiajing inexplicably feels that there is a suspicious light around Ji Nan.
Before leaving, Zhong Jiajing spoke hesitantly to his back.
"Ji Nan, you are not secretly in love with me, right?"
