Chapter 29 Check-in resume
◎Then to be fair, should I block you too?◎
Zhong Jiajing swore that she had taken care of everything, but who could have expected that this bastard would just come out of nowhere like that?
She hastily let go of his hand and took several steps back, while frantically signaling to the ignorant puppies to be quiet. However, there was a communication barrier and it was fruitless.
After making sure her hands were clean, she looked at the man standing on the second-floor terrace and shouted stubbornly, "So what if I touched him? Is there any law that says a mother can't touch her own son?"
Ji Nan leaned forward, slightly closing the distance between them. "It's true there's no such rule, but how come I didn't know when Duoduo changed her last name to Zhong?"
It was already very dark, and the light from the street lamps fell into his eyes and turned into bright stars, but Zhong Jiajing felt that they were more like sparks, burning her whole body.
She pursed her lips and looked up at him, her eyes moist and pitiful.
Ji Nan hadn't looked her in the eye like this for a long time. His stern face finally softened a little. "I don't know whose good mother cares for her child by blocking its current father."
He acted more like a resentful man who had been cruelly abandoned. "No matter what, you have to tell me what I did wrong, right?"
"You're not wrong, it's all my fault." Zhong Jiajing lowered her long eyelashes and spoke in a small voice, just like those children who made mistakes admitting their mistakes.
"Then why don't you remove me from the blacklist?" Ji Nan asked.
Her neck felt a little sore from being held up for so long. Zhong Jiajing lowered her head, looked at the ground below, and muttered, "I just don't want to reply to your message. I've never blocked you, okay?"
It sounds like he is a little dissatisfied.
Ji Nan stared at her round head and asked, "What about your circle of friends?"
"The circle of friends doesn't affect communication." She still spoke stubbornly.
"Okay, since it doesn't affect normal communication, then for the sake of fairness, I'll block you too?" The man's voice in the winter night wind was particularly cold and ruthless.
There is one good thing about Ji Nan. He is not the traditional kind of taciturn person. He will post on WeChat Moments every now and then to share his life.
As an important part of life, furry children naturally appear on camera frequently, especially more frequently recently. Of course, this is thanks to Ji Nan's deliberate efforts.
During these difficult days recently, Zhong Jiajing has been relying on this little bit of remaining energy to replenish her fragile body. Now if someone wants to deprive her of this last chance, she will definitely not agree.
"No, can't I pull you back?" She glanced at him from time to time, seeming to be quite resentful.
Xiaobai, who was watching the show from behind the door, jumped out at the right moment to stab him. "You're so cruel! Our respected and great boss is so innocent, yet you treat him so cruelly. What crime has he committed? Even as a sister, I can't stand it."
Looking at the appearance of this lackey, Zhong Jiajing couldn't bear to watch it any longer.
"Don't leave after get off work, kid!" She lip-synched her threats.
Of course, she had to put on a different face when facing Ji Nan. She raised her head and smiled brightly at the man, "Haha, of course the blame is all mine. It's all because I'm too narcissistic."
He actually made up his own imagination because of some tiny details and even forcibly labeled someone as having a secret crush on her. She really felt ashamed to see him recently.
Ji Nan saw the obvious dark circles under her eyes under the small lamp hanging on the door of the shop. He said, "Narcissism? So your smoky makeup is actually caused by you being so beautiful that you can't sleep?"
He was obviously asking the question even though he knew the answer. How could Zhong Jiajing possibly respond to the question? She still wanted to save face no matter what.
She opened her mouth and lied, "That's what the dog thinks."
The saying "What you think about during the day you dream about at night" is absolutely true. Although I haven't had much actual communication with Ji Nan these days, the frequency of his appearance in my daily life has definitely increased greatly, thanks to the "selfless dedication" of Xiaobai and Yu Qiuya.
In her erotic dreams for a week straight, Ji Nan had given birth to several babies for her. Could she tell Ji Nan about this?
She stood there in silence, lost in her own thoughts, and had no idea when Ji Nan came downstairs and walked to her side.
"Stop daydreaming and pull me out quickly." She was startled by the sudden urging voice in her ear.
Zhong Jiajing reluctantly operated under his supervision, "Here, this should be fine, right?"
"Okay, take it." Ji Nan confirmed it with his mobile phone before nodding.
It was not advisable to stay here for long. Zhong Jiajing planned to indulge herself for five more minutes before slipping away decisively.
But before his hand touched the dog's fur, his body fell out of control into Ji Nan's warm arms.
The culprit was Yu Qiuya, who had just received a report from the front. She lowered her voice and pretended to apologize, "Oh, I'm so sorry, my hands are shaking."
Zhong Jiajing blushed as she escaped the man's embrace. "Your shaking hands can even push someone over. If you run, won't you be able to shake the entire earth?"
"Oh, it was just an accident. Don't hold a grudge against me." She continued smiling. "I came here to discuss something with Boss Ji on your behalf, didn't I?"
Ji Nan looked from his cooling palm to her, "What's the matter?"
Yu Qiuya took out her cell phone and played a voice message sent to her by Zhong Jiajing. It was the very noisy sound of renovations coming from upstairs.
"Look, this kind of environment kept our Jiajing awake all night. Who wouldn't feel sorry for her?"
Zhong Jiajing was a little speechless, "Although, people don't do renovations in the middle of the night."
Yu Qiuya asked her back, "Oh, who is that crying in my ear every day?"
Okay, it's her.
The two rooms upstairs were bought by a young couple. They plan to use the walls together to make their wedding room, and they have been working overtime on the construction recently.
Although her rest at night would not be affected, Zhong Jiajing had been having all sorts of random thoughts recently, and her sleep quality was already poor. She couldn't even concentrate on catching up on some sleep after get off work, let alone enjoying a quiet weekend.
Zhong Jiajing glared at her, "Maybe I'm taking revenge on you for harassing me?"
Yu Qiuya ignored her and just spoke to Ji Nan, "I said that a family like yours with so many family members must be in need of help. Considering the mother-son relationship between Heiya and Jiajing, why don't you do some good deeds to accumulate merit and take her in for a few days?"
Ji Nan looked straight at Zhong Jiajing, who was hesitant to speak, and spoke after a long time. "I did say before that I would give priority to Zhong Jiajing's application. So, bring your resume over tomorrow and let me take a look."
Yu Qiuya was very satisfied with this answer. She smiled, covered Zhong Jiajing's mouth and took her away.
"You are selling out your friends for personal gain!" Zhong Jiajing angrily accused after regaining the right to speak.
"I do suspect this, but please listen to my explanation before arresting me," Yu Qiuya said seriously. "Honestly, you must know better than us bystanders whether there is any undercurrent of love between you two."
"You've been in a really low mood these days, and your face has visibly dimmed."
"I'm not trying to force you, I just hope you can be braver and at least not treat your feelings as a mudslide that will destroy you."
"Even if you're just considering him as a potential romantic partner, there's nothing wrong with that, but you have to take that step, right? Being a cowardly little brat hiding away all day is not like you at all."
Zhong Jiajing lowered her head and murmured, "But isn't it inappropriate for me to live in a single man's home?"
"What's inappropriate about it? You were drunk last time, and he didn't do anything to you." Yu Qiuya had a very sufficient reason.
"Besides, he often comes to your house late at night. Did you do anything out of the ordinary?"
"Besides, if there's really no room for development between you two, how can you take Black Duck away if you don't establish a good mother-son relationship with him first? He's already abandoned you when he saw Ji Nan. You're obviously not competitive at all now."
The last sentence was obviously very influential. Zhong Jiajing lowered her head and pondered for a long time. "I'll go back and think about it."
Yu Qiuya suddenly hugged her and said, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Whether you go or not is up to you. We can just treat men like old clothes. If they really don't work, just throw them away. Nothing is more important than your own happiness."
In the dream, Zhong Jiajing forced Ji Nan to have sex with her, and the cute man successfully gave birth to a pair of twin puppies for her.
During the day at work, she slacked off and wrote a very concise resume.
When Yu Qiuya came over, she dodged because she felt guilty.
"Oh, it's decided." She joked.
"I just want Zhong Heiya to feel my motherly love." Zhong Jiajing said seriously.
"Okay, okay, then you have to behave well."
Yu Qiuya urged her to print out her resume, and then led everyone to the mini zoo.
Ji Nan remained calm as he held the resume in his hand, which was cut into three-quarters of the A4 paper and still couldn't fill up.
"I have extensive experience in independent dog walking, and have taken care of two dogs and a cat for a week. I can manage three pets simultaneously in an organized manner."
Ji Nan raised his eyes to look at Zhong Jiajing, his tone extremely calm, "You have a lot of experience, and I happen to have three pets at home. Your abilities and my needs are very compatible, so why not come over and try it out for a few days?"
"Oh, okay." Zhong Jiajing, who was a beat slow to react, nodded slowly.
Xiaobai, who had just finished her civil service exam, couldn't hold it in anymore when she heard this. She muttered, "Isn't this clearly just a carrot pit?"
"Do you have any objections?" Ji Nan looked at her coldly.
Freezing! Really freezing! How could she dare to have any opinions? "No, I'm just envious. Just ignore me."
Ji Nan glanced at her, "You'd better be."
After saying that, he looked up at Zhong Jiajing and asked, "Moving in tonight?"
Zhong Jiajing blinked her eyes and said, "Well, the boss has the final say."
"Then I'll take you back home to pack your luggage after get off work. It's just right for you to come over and adjust your schedule during the weekend." Ji Nan said in a deep voice.
Zhong Jiajing was just about to say that she would just go back, but a strong force came from her waist and blocked her mouth.
She forced a smile and said, "That's great! Boss Ji is such a kind person! I will definitely go to bed early and get up early, be a qualified poop scooper, and strive to create a more comfortable life for our lovely babies!"
Ji Nan's eyes were dim. "I'm looking forward to it. After all, going to bed early and getting up early doesn't seem to be easy for you."
Zhong Jiajing: “…”
Thanks, and please stop the personal attacks.
The author has something to say:
If you prefer this kind of very cheerful and funny writing, I actually recommend another pre-collected book of the same style in my column, "Reject Social Death" (Wang Po sells melons!)
