Chapter 36 Cutting Off the Poisonous Tongue
◎I have a kind of lovesickness that is incurable.◎
The most amazing thing about Ji Nan is not that he can always speak eloquently to mock others, but that he can say things that are damaging to his personal image in an extremely calm and frank manner, but these words somehow fit in with his mouth, creating a sense of incongruity that is strange and inexplicable.
Just like now, the cheap self-torture trick should obviously contain a hint of pity, but as soon as it comes out of Ji Nan's mouth, it obviously loses that flavor. It always makes people feel that irony is the deeper meaning he wants to express. It is very suitable for Chinese reading exercises for high school students.
"Do you know how your words just now made me feel?" Zhong Jiajing asked him, looking up.
"I don't know. After all, I'm not a man who would abandon his wife and children. I can't answer the question from your perspective. Please try to understand it a little." He answered calmly and innocently.
"......" Zhong Jiajing knew that a bad man would not only not let her lose, but would even tie others to the center of the storm to help him withstand the storm before he felt powerful enough.
The supporting actor must be aware that his words cannot fall on the ground.
Zhong Jiajing rolled her eyes at him and continued, "That sounds like the classic defense-breaking statement a guy makes when he's been rejected."
She cleared her throat and said in a raspy voice, feigning surprise and indignation, "Okay, you're just like that. Actually, I don't really want to keep you here. You're really average. Hahahaha, you're really pretentious."
Ji Nan frowned and said sincerely, "Although I was indeed rejected by you, you are obviously extraordinary. I also want to keep you."
"Your analogy is not very appropriate and it insults my character."
Well, bad men are even more offensive - they never play by the rules.
Zhong Jiajing finally understood why elementary school teachers always had a love-hate relationship with the naughty kids in the class. The occasional sweet words could easily win over the tender heart of an innocent girl like her.
She didn't dare say anything more to him. She was sure that if he said another soft word, she would really fall in love with him.
In order to establish her own image of authority, she hurriedly left a message saying "I'm going to wash up" and fled from this place of trouble.
Since she was leaving tomorrow, Zhong Jiajing had to pack her bags and prepare for the long voyage overnight.
The door of the room was originally closed, but Duoduo always pried it open with Hei Ya. After pulling it a few times, she simply let the door open.
When she came, she brought two suitcases in total. Her underwear had been packed into the 20-inch small suitcase while she was fighting with the puppies. Now, only some large items such as coats and shoes had not been put away in time, so there was nothing embarrassing even if Ji Nan stood by the door and watched.
As soon as the large box was spread out, Duoduo spontaneously jumped into it and lay down.
The dog is solid and sturdy, with a lot of fat overflowing even when lying in the 32-inch box.
Zhong Jiajing tried to coax and deceive the dog, but the dog remained indifferent and even blinked his starry eyes to act cute.
Her heart softened immediately, "Duoduo, do you know that mommy is leaving and can't bear to leave me?"
Duoduo put her big fluffy head into her palm as if in response, acting like a real spoiled brat.
Ji Nan was still standing by the door, watching everything leisurely. No matter how he looked at it, he seemed rather naive. Zhong Jiajing said unhappily, "What are you looking at? Have you never seen a beautiful woman?"
"That's not the case," Ji Nan pointed at her and then at the dog, "I saw you seven months ago, and as for Duoduo, that was three years ago."
Well, there are two females in the room, and he didn't forget to praise either of them.
Zhong Jiajing's face flushed red. She was just about to say something nice and polite to him, but he started acting like that again.
"I'm standing here watching because I'm afraid you'll steal my dog."
People usually give a sweet treat after giving a slap in the face, but Ji Nan is the only one who wants to be treated differently and has to do the opposite.
Zhong Jiajing was so angry that she needed oxygen. "You have such a broad vision! Don't you even realize how much space this can hold?"
As she said this, she closed the door in frustration, leaving Jinan and the dog Hei Ya at his feet looking at each other in bewilderment.
Ji Nan was stunned for a moment, and it took him a long time to realize that he had made his girlfriend angry again.
He couldn't add fuel to the fire. He still had some common sense, so he had to pick up Black Duck and go to the living room to watch TV for a while to avoid the limelight.
He is a very principled person. When he says he watches TV, he really just watches it without listening at all.
About half an hour later, Ji Nan, who had temporarily grown bat ears, felt his ears twitch and heard the sound of the suitcase zipper being pulled.
He looked around, his gaze stayed on Gao Leng Dongdong for three seconds, and finally his eyes fell on Zhong Heiya, the poor, simple and easy-to-control puppy.
He squatted down and looked at the puppy in the eyes, and said in a very serious voice, "Black Duck, your mother doesn't want you anymore."
"But we can't be discouraged. Dad will find a way for you."
"Well, go open the door first, just as your sister Duoduo taught you, and let's go in and have a good talk with mom."
The puppy, completely confused, blinked and didn't move.
Ji Nan wanted Dongdong to go up and demonstrate it, but the little pig just wanted to curl up in the nest. He just gave him a look and considered it a great blessing from the cat.
Unable to call for help, Ji Nan had to put his focus back on Black Duck.
The puppy hasn't learned the key points yet, and it's really hard for him to perform lock picking without someone to teach him. Ji Nan has no choice but to help.
He pinched the puppy's armpits with both hands and raised them to the level of the door handle.
He whispered, "Black Duck, listen to my commands."
“1, 2, 3, open…”
"Has it been registered with the police? How dare you open the lock at will?"
How would it feel if the general found out that the enemy was already at the gates of the city before he could even issue his orders?
The puppy hadn't had time to put down its paw, Ji Nan had half-swallowed the "door" in his throat, and Zhong Jiajing's clever look that had been anticipated.
Everything seems a little subtle.
Zhong Jiajing folded her arms and said nothing, the scrutiny she showed was too obvious.
Ji Nan had no choice but to speak up to break the awkward situation, "Well, Black Duck said it can't bear to leave you."
He was silent for a moment, then added, "And me."
"What?" Zhong Jiajing asked coldly. She obviously didn't want to give this criminal a way out easily.
"I miss you too," Ji Nan pursed his lips and added, "very, very much."
Maybe she was indeed diagnosed with Stockholm syndrome, otherwise if this brother didn't say a few harsh words, Zhong Jiajing would really miss him.
"Are you possessed by some little ghost?" Zhong Jiajing was a little panicked. She reached out and touched his forehead, "To see if you have a fever?"
Ji Nan took advantage of the situation to wrap his arms around Zhong Jiajing's waist and rested his forehead against hers. "There's no possession, only words from the heart."
"But I might really be sick. I'm suffering from a kind of lovesickness that is incurable."
"Woof woof woof?" The black duck, who was ruthlessly abandoned, looked at it with a question mark in his head.
Zhong Jiajing froze in place, her face filled with black lines. "Where did you learn all this nonsense?"
Seeing Ji Nan being emo all day, the kind-hearted classmate Xiaobai couldn't stand it anymore and sent him a love guide. He also said that the first chapter was tailor-made for him and told him to go back and study hard so that Zhong Jiajing's heart could be won back.
Ji Nan clearly remembered that the preface read: "If a man wants to keep a woman's heart, the first thing he must do is control his mouth. If she is too silent, don't keep her. If she is too sharp-tongued, just cut her off."
Although he didn't quite agree that this sentence resonated with him, he still read on patiently.
The first chapter begins with a personality test. Ji Nan spent ten minutes answering the questions, and the final answer was so shocking that he had to cut his mouth off.
He was speechless, but still wanted to see what more nonsense the author could come up with, so he gritted his teeth and continued reading.
Generally speaking, the main content of the first chapter is to teach people how to speak sweet words.
"I used to be a bitter melon, but when I met you I became a sweet melon."
"Before, bees never came near me, but now they frequently come near me. Come to think of it, it's because you are a flower stuck in this piece of cow dung."
"The adrenaline rush only exists when you say you love me."
There were many love words like this, and countless examples of dialogues. Ji Nan looked at them with disdain.
But just now, he must have been really desperate and believed Xiaobai, that little thief. When he uttered this slang, Zhong Jiajing was completely at a loss.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Ji Nan explained with a stiff upper lip, "That's not the point. The point is that I miss you very much."
"So, can you not go back?" he asked in a hoarse voice.
Zhong Jiajing was almost breathless in his embrace, and for a moment she had no time to think about where he had learned these bad habits.
When an extremely handsome man hugged her tightly and said pleading words, Zhong Jiajing, as a new-age girl, certainly found it difficult to suppress the curl of her lips.
She hugged him, patted his back gently, and said decisively: "No."
Yes, women in the new era can take on and let go.
But out of guilt, and of course, a mix of reluctance, Zhong Jiajing raised her hands, hooked them around his neck and kissed him.
Neither of them is the type to be very intimate, and they bicker a lot in daily life. This form of expressing love is not common.
Ji Nan held her fair cheeks and deepened the kiss.
Burning, strong, rich, exciting...
And...some tingling in your calves?
The two puppies were like curious children, raising their heads and looking in their direction.
Zhong Heiya's hair is short and hard, and it pricks her legs badly even through a layer of cloth, not to mention that the nightgown Zhong Jiajing wore exposed half of her calves.
Seeing that the little ghosts had disturbed his interest, Ji Nan said in a very resentful and depressed tone, "Can't the darlings learn from your calm brother Dongdong?"
Zhong Jiajing chuckled, "That's not the attitude you showed when you said Dongdong was lazy."
As she spoke, she pushed his hand that was tightly wrapped around her waist and said, "Okay, it's already eleven o'clock, time to go to bed."
Ji Nan didn't move. "Don't you go to bed at one in the morning every day?"
"I'm used to it. But what if you don't get enough sleep and can't get up to go to work the next day?" Zhong Jiajing asked.
After all, Old Man Ji has a regular schedule, and it is basic for him to prepare to go to bed at 11 o'clock.
Ji Nan replied nonchalantly: "I'm the boss. It's up to me whether I go to work or not."
“…” I was indeed convinced, but why did I feel bad and even wanted to mock him back?
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Zhong Jiajing knew very well that he just couldn't bear to leave her.
After all, they are father and daughter, just like Duoduo who couldn't speak but used actions to keep him.
She thought about it and suggested, "Then I'll sleep with you for a while."
The author has something to say:
I really want to make every chapter interesting and joyful, so I usually have to hold back the content of a chapter for a very long time. It really makes me bald QAQ
