Chapter 34 The Great Injustice
◎Do you think I look like a fool?◎
Ji Nan moved closer to the bouquet of fresh flowers still covered with water droplets, and suddenly a strong smell of shrimp rushed to his head, making him a little disoriented for a moment.
He looked at Zhong Jiajing, who had a twisted face, and explained silently, "I spent a huge sum of five dollars to buy this bag from the owner of the seafood store. I thought he would at least give me a new one..."
Unexpectedly, the black-hearted boss was an environmentalist and sold the recyclable bags to him at a high price.
Zhong Jiajing couldn't help but laugh. "He could have made just $4.90 from you, but he chose to make a killing with $5. Otherwise, he'd be a big boss. He sees a sucker being stripped like a shrimp, leaving nothing for you."
Ji Nanren was so depressed that he felt like he was shutting himself in. He should never have handed over everything to that honest-looking bald boss just because he had a lot of things on hand.
Seeing his dejected expression, Zhong Jiajing's kindness suddenly surged, and she consoled him, "Don't be sad. Even if your roses were placed throughout the universe, they would still be incredibly popular. Even if I died and was buried in the soil as fertilizer, I'd still remember you."
Ji Nan's face was expressionless. "Thank you. Now that you've said that, I feel much worse."
"You're welcome. After all, as a spiritual counselor for a long time, sometimes I'll have the idea of revenge against society." Zhong Jiajing couldn't help teasing him.
"Well, in order to ease the resentment in my heart, why don't I pass on my revenge to this bouquet of flowers." Ji Nan said as he wanted to get up and throw the flowers away.
Zhong Jiajing stopped him, "No, I think it might still be salvageable."
Under Ji Nan's confused gaze, she stood up and went to the kitchen to cut two slices of ginger and put them in the bouquet. After thinking about it, she felt that it was not enough, so she simply peeled a whole orange and put it in to enhance the fragrance.
This last step made no sense at all, it was simply because she liked the smell of orange juice splashing.
Seeing her actions that could be called outrageous, Ji Nan couldn't help but complain, "Would you like some cooking wine? I just bought a bottle."
"If I remember correctly, you could only make tomato and egg noodles the day before yesterday? Today you have been directly promoted to a seafood chef? You even know how to remove the fishy smell." Zhong Jiajing was very surprised.
Ji Nan sneered, "Heh, if you were at home yesterday, you would have found that today was already the third advanced meal."
Well, here I am mocking her openly and secretly for not being home.
As long as Ji Nan wants, he always has a million ways to imply you.
In the kitchen, Zhong Jiajing studied a shrimp carefully, muttering to herself, "Should I blanch it or braise it?"
Ji Nan tied on his apron, snatched the shrimp from her hand and threw it into the pool.
The shrimps that have returned to water are inexplicably like stranded fish returning to the water source, and their dancing postures are quite graceful.
"What for?" Zhong Jiajing was puzzled.
Ji Nan took her hand and rinsed it carefully under running water.
He patted her dry hands and said seriously, "I'm afraid you've been pickled to death."
"If you really turn into fertilizer after you die, and the roses I grow all start to taste like shrimp, wouldn't I be a sinner for eternity?"
"Okay, go play." He drove the people out the door.
Where do all these crooked ways come from? Zhong Jiajing was still confused when she was pushed away.
Of course, she didn't understand why he locked the kitchen door from the inside as if he was guarding against thieves, which was even more cautious than when he was sleeping at night.
Around one o'clock, Master Ji, who had been busy for more than an hour, finally walked out of the kitchen with the three dishes and one soup he had prepared himself.
Zhong Jiajing stared at the delicious dishes on the table, turned her head and asked suspiciously, "Isn't this good? Why were you hiding it just now?"
She thought for a moment and then asked, "Are you also worried that I might steal your secret recipe for the delicious Krabby Patties?"
"You want to eat crab?" Ji Nan didn't understand the joke. "I'll make it for you tomorrow."
He automatically skipped the first question. After all, being caught weighing grams of salt on a scale was not a very glamorous thing.
The food still had a standard taste, and Zhong Jiajing said against her conscience that she would strongly recommend it to all the employees of mini zoo, which earned Ji Nan's reluctant smile that could only be considered "happy".
After dinner, Zhong Jiajing insisted on washing the dishes on her own. After all, she could only feel at ease in front of her parents about being a lazy person who only enjoyed the good things without making any contribution.
Ji Nan didn't say anything polite to her, but he didn't say he was leaving either. He just leaned against the kitchen door and watched her every move.
"I think it's necessary to buy a dishwasher." Looking at her working hard, Ji Nan was willing to speak.
"What?" Zhong Jiajing practically pressed her eyes against the bottom of the bowl. "Are you implying that my bowl isn't clean?"
"I suggest you stop making malicious assumptions about me. After all, if it really wasn't clean, I would just say, 'Are your pupils white? Why can't I see a trace of black?'" he said mercilessly.
Very good, this is the standard output of a sharp tongue. After all, she underestimated the other party.
Zhong Jiajing muttered to herself, calling him a femme fatale. Suddenly, she caught sight of a small scale under the stage. She took it out and looked at it, puzzled. "So your kitchen is actually your experimental base?"
"..." Ji Nan's mind raced, "I lost weight some time ago to control my food intake."
The muscles she had secretly touched these past two days were definitely real, and it was obvious that the man in front of her was not telling the truth.
In order to dispel her concerns, Ji Nan quickly changed the subject, "Detergent is very harmful to your hands. I'm going to order a dishwasher online."
Zhong Jiajing stared at the gloves on her hands and the high-end imported detergent labeled "gentle and hand-friendly" and fell into deep thought.
Obviously, the combination of ginger and orange peel will not create miracles. It will only make the originally fragrant rose suddenly become mixed with flavors.
For the first time, Zhong Jiajing deeply understood the ultimate meaning of this word. She even felt nauseous and wanted to vomit when she smelled the messy smell.
There is really no other way. No matter how commemorative this flower is, it must be thrown away.
The hole in the sky had been patched up by Nuwa, and the heavy rain stopped suddenly, as if it was to create an opportunity for them to throw away the garbage. Otherwise, when the aunt locked the trash can at night, they would have to embrace it all night.
Ji Nan looked at the weather forecast and saw that there would be no precipitation for at least ten hours.
He asked Zhong Jiajing, "Do you want to go out for a walk?"
It was already December and the new year was about to arrive. Zhong Jiajing had long wanted to get a manicure to welcome a brand new tomorrow, so she agreed without thinking.
The ground was wet and full of water. No matter how the dogs looked pitiful and aggrieved, Ji Nan would not soften his heart and agree to take them out.
The good guy in the house was obviously Zhong Jiajing. She squatted on the ground holding the dog's hand, looking reluctant to part with it.
Ji Nan pulled the large scarf tied loosely around her neck up to cover her eyes, then stuffed her little hand that had committed the crime into his pocket and said, "It's okay, just pretend it didn't happen if you can't see it."
A very rude and straightforward way.
Downstairs, the two people unpacked the bouquet and threw the flowers and packaging into the wet and dry garbage bins respectively.
"Has the peace proposal failed again?" A voice came from behind. It was the old man who named Zhong Heiya last time.
Ji Nan's face darkened. He wrapped Zhong Jiajing's hand in his own to assert his sovereignty. "Even if you are old, you can't lie with your eyes open."
"I've never seen anyone as shameless as you," the old man said with a grin. "They threw away the flowers you gave them, and you still want to force them to hold hands?"
"What else? I can't hold your hand, right?" Ji Nan answered casually.
"That's easy," the old man said, his favorite thing was to help others. "Give them a bag! Give them a big diamond ring!"
Ji Nan lowered his head as if he was really thinking about the feasibility of what he said. Zhong Jiajing was afraid that this big fool would take it seriously, so she quickly covered his mouth and said, "No, no, no, my frail body can't bear any more weight."
The previous hairpin is still lying quietly in the cabinet gathering dust.
Ji Nan thought for a moment, "It's okay, let's go to the gym together to practice core exercises later."
“…” Zhong Jiajing really didn’t mean that.
The two walked to the nail salon and happened to meet Xiaobai and a young girl passing by.
Ji Nan stared at the ends of her damp hair and asked in confusion, "If you're going to participate in a drenched exhibition match, then your condition is still a little off."
Xiaobai's heart was focused on the two people's holding hands. She trembled and said, "Mom! My dream couple has come true!"
"I can only say that you have great vision and foresight. The country needs talents like you." Ji Nan smiled. "Well, I'll put the manicure expenses for you and your sisters on my account."
But they were just passing by, Xiaobai blinked his bright eyes.
But never mind. The cake is already in his mouth. Should he just pull it out and give it back to the owner?
The nail salon business was booming before the New Year, and Ji Nan had nowhere to stay, so he had to go out for a walk on his own.
He was a little frustrated by the failure of the flowers at noon, so he kept thinking about how to save his precarious face.
The jewelry store was having a New Year's promotion, and the big buy one get one free sign caught his attention.
He walked in, picked out a pair of couple's necklaces, looked up and asked, "Is this also buy one get one free?"
The clerk never expected that the handsome man in front of her, who was dressed luxuriously, was actually a miser. Her excited heart suddenly sank.
She smiled politely, "Excuse me, sir, the buy one get one free offer is limited to that style."
She was referring to the counter in the corner, which was probably selling some year-end clearance items, and the gifts were inconspicuous little pendants or something like that.
Ji Nan took a look and looked away expressionlessly, "It can be."
The clerk smiled reluctantly, "Sir, this is indeed not eligible for the promotion."
He wanted to buy two necklaces at the original price of less than 20,000 yuan each. If she really agreed, she could pack up and go back home.
"That's okay," Ji Nan held up the men's pair in his hand. "You can take this one at double the price and give the other one to me."
Wow, it turns out he’s just a stupid second generation guy with no brains but rich.
The clerk believed that he must have his reasons for doing so, and suppressed his curiosity and did as he was told.
Zhong Jiajing looked at the necklace in the box in a daze, "You..."
Ji Nan put it on her and said shamelessly, "Ah, it's buy one, get one free."
Afraid that she wouldn't believe him, he even played the recording of the same store clerk.
"Sir, this model is for women, if you buy a men's model, you get a women's model for free. Would you like to... would you like to take a look?" The girl's voice in the recording was a little stiff, and her words were spoken incoherently.
Zhong Jiajing curled her lips into a fake smile, "Do you think I look like a fool?"
