14 Being pressed on the dining table
◎The man's thin waist squeezed in◎
The boy stood straight, wearing the most popular floral shirt and flared jeans. Two buttons of his collar were undone, revealing his slender neck and collarbone. His strong chest muscles could be vaguely seen. He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and his head-to-shoulder ratio was very superior.
He is quite handsome and fashionable, but Song Shixi still thinks the military green suit suits him better.
This set is a bit too flashy, just like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.
The corners of Song Shixi's mouth twitched. He raised his wrist and glanced at the watch face. There were still more than ten minutes before the agreed time. He didn't expect that he looked so nonchalant, but he was quite punctual and even arrived early.
This made her have a much better impression of him. Just as she was about to go forward, Gao Xunian noticed her and walked over to her while waving and smiling, calling out, "Comrade Song."
When he smiled, the small mole in the middle of his right cheek rose up along with the curve of the corner of his lips, looking sunny and bright.
"Comrade Gao." Seeing that he was so polite, Song Shixi also greeted him.
Gao Xunian was tall and took big steps. He arrived in front of her in a few seconds, his light brown pupils staring at her fair little face with sparkling eyes.
Still as beautiful as ever, even more beautiful than yesterday!
Just as he was about to say something, he caught sight of Wu Qiuhong standing next to Song Shixi, and frowned, "Who is this?"
"My friend."
Song Shixi was anxious to resolve the Walkman issue, so he just briefly introduced it and said, "Let's go. Turn right here and walk 500 meters ahead. There's a repair shop. Let's go there and take a look."
After saying that, he took Wu Qiuhong's arm and walked forward first.
Seeing this, Gao Xunian took a deep breath and for the first time experienced what it meant to be a dumb person eating bitter herbs and unable to express his pain.
He originally thought that it was just the two of them today, and it was a date in disguise. He was so excited all night that he even got up early to dress himself up.
But now all the plans have gone to waste.
Looking at the two people talking and laughing in front of him, Gao Xunian gritted his teeth, still unwilling to waste this opportunity. He caught up with them in a few steps, walked side by side with them, and took the initiative to ask with a smile: "Are you two classmates?"
Song Shixi and Wu Qiuhong nodded in succession.
"What major?"
Gao Xunian tried again, hoping to get more useful information, but unfortunately, it was as if the two of them had agreed on this. Their mouths were harder than a turtle's shell, and he couldn't pry anything out of them.
There was no other way, Gao Xunian could only change his mindset and take the initiative to introduce himself.
Only then did they realize that Gao Xunian was a native of Beijing. His father worked in a government office, his mother owned a restaurant, and his brother was in the clothing business. His family was well-off. He had always been a good student and had no bad habits. He enjoyed running, playing basketball with friends, listening to music, and hiking.
Song Shixi and Wu Qiuhong listened with great interest at first, but the more they listened, the more they felt something was wrong. It sounded like Wang Po boasting about her melons, and she was almost about to explain her entire ancestry.
If they didn't know that the purpose of this trip was to repair the Walkman, they would have thought that they were here for a blind date.
Song Shixi hurriedly interrupted, and Gao Xunian ended the topic and turned to talk about the various scenery and food in Beijing. When he learned that the two of them had never climbed the Great Wall, he kindly said that if they had the chance next time, they could go together, and he, a local, would be their guide for free.
Song Shixi and Wu Qiuhong neither agreed nor disagreed, and just brushed aside the topic in a smooth-talking manner.
We won't see each other again after today anyway, so why bother with all those polite words? It's just a waste of words.
It was the first time that Gao Xunian had met such an unyielding female comrade, and his self-confidence was deeply hit. Although he tried to bring up the topic later, he was obviously not as enthusiastic as at the beginning.
When they arrived at the repair shop that Song Shixi mentioned, the three of them calmed down completely and waited for the master's inspection results. Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the Walkman, only some paint was scratched off the body, which could be repaired at a low cost.
It was not until this time that the heavy stone in Song Shixi's heart finally fell back to its original place.
"There's no need to touch up this little bit of paint." Gao Xunian waved his hand and took the Walkman back from the repairman's hands.
He had no intention of asking anyone to pay for the repairs. He only said that yesterday in order to get closer to her. Now that his goal has been achieved, of course he will not let her pay for the repairs.
Besides, what's the point of asking a girl to spend money on a grown man?
Hearing this, Song Shixi was stunned for a moment, then said, "How can that be possible?"
Gao Xunian insisted on not using it. Since the owner of the Walkman said so, Song Shixi could only agree and said, "Then I'll give you the fare."
This is what we agreed on yesterday.
"I……"
Without waiting for him to speak, Song Shixi stuffed the one dollar that she had prepared long ago into his pocket and said, "Take it. We are even now."
Clear? Gao Xunian felt that this was a hot potato, but when he saw her shining and serious eyes, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth and raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, we are destined to be together. Let's be friends in the future?"
After spending time together just now, Song Shixi also felt that Gao Xunian was a bit interesting, so he did not refuse.
Gao Xunian decided to stop while he was ahead, so he sent them to the school gate and left.
"Our previous worries were unnecessary." Wu Qiuhong shrugged. None of the bad situations she had expected happened. She even got a bottle of soda and made a friend for free.
Hearing this, Song Shixi also smiled, "Yes, but we must be on guard against others. It's better to be cautious in what we do."
Wu Qiuhong agreed with this and nodded in agreement. The two chatted for a while. Seeing that it was still early, Song Shixi prepared to set up a stall in the back street to see if he could sell the few remaining clothes.
For several days in a row, Song Shixi was busy trying to sell these clothes. Fortunately, the results were good, and only one or two pieces were left. Seeing that Deng Cuixia wanted them, she packed them up and sold them to her at a low price, as a way of expressing her gratitude for her helping her find a house during this period.
In addition, Song Shixi also left a suitable skirt and matching hairpin for Wu Qiuhong. She had helped a lot during this period, and she remembered these favors in her heart.
Afraid that Wu Qiuhong would feel embarrassed to accept it and asked her to keep it to sell, Song Shixi waited until everything was over before giving it to her.
At first, Wu Qiuhong refused to accept the offer, and Song Shixi had to use all his strength to persuade her.
Everything has settled down and a wonderful weekend has arrived.
Zheng Huilan was preparing to return to the Zheng family early in the morning. During this time, she took the time to give Song Shixi the living expenses for May. She also symbolically reminded her to be careful as she was alone at home. Then she left with Qin Boyuan and Qin Zhiyi.
Song Shixi stood at the door until he could no longer see the taillights of the car. Then he excitedly opened the envelope of money. After counting the amount inside, he couldn't help but click his tongue.
She worked so hard for so many days selling skirts but the money she earned was not even as much as the pocket money the Qin family gave her. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.
After muttering a few words inwardly, Song Shixi collected the money and turned to walk into the house.
They will not be back until Monday. As the saying goes, when the tiger is away, the monkey becomes king. This small western-style building will be hers for the next two days!
Thinking of this, Song Shixi couldn't help but curl the corners of her lips, and casually tied up her hair. After sending Aunt Yang home, she went into the kitchen, found the ingredients she needed from the refrigerator and cupboards, and prepared to make a beauty-enhancing dinner for herself.
After coming into this world, she had never cooked before. She was a little unfamiliar at first, but she became proficient with practice.
When the Qin family was at home before, she didn't bother to do these things because they were very troublesome to make. It was annoying enough to make one portion, let alone make it for the whole family.
Although the Qin family may not want to eat what she cooks, what does it matter if she eats it alone?
So I just gave up the idea of cooking.
This is the difficulty of living under someone else's roof. If you are at home, you can do whatever you want without having to consider other people. Just be happy.
She wanted to move out as soon as possible, but renting a house is not that easy. She looked at more than a dozen houses and was not satisfied with any of them. Either there was a problem with the house or the landlord. She never found one that satisfied both of them.
It is said that you get what you pay for. Now that he has the money from selling clothes and the living expenses from the Qin family, Song Shixi decided to increase his budget. He can compromise on anything, but he cannot compromise on his living space.
One is for safety, the other is for comfort.
But this also means that her expenses will increase, and she needs more money. Putting aside the living expenses that the Qin family gives her every month, she must have a stable source of income. Otherwise, if the Qin family cuts off her money in the future, she will have to live on the streets.
After all, the unclear relationship between the original owner and Li Yanxing was a time bomb that might explode one day, so she had to leave herself a way out.
It's good to make money by setting up a stall, and the profit is also substantial, but it's too tiring. Just running around with two suitcases in the past half month almost broke her arms. And this is even with Wu Qiuhong helping her a lot. She couldn't imagine how hard it would be if she was the only one doing it.
Furthermore, she had spent almost all of her spare time setting up stalls to make money, and had not had time to digest the classroom knowledge. If she continued like this, she would probably fail the final exam like the original owner.
It would be nice if there were jobs that only worked on weekends.
Song Shixi sighed, calmed his mind for a moment, and focused his attention on the ingredients in front of him.
Add water to white fungus, red dates, and longan and cook until thick. Then add wolfberry and milk and mix well. Finally, sprinkle some rose petals on it. It tastes soft, sweet, and moisturizes the lungs and nourishes the skin.
Then mash the taro and purple sweet potato into a paste, add appropriate amount of flour and knead into a ball, put it in a pot and steam it for 30 minutes. A delicious and non-greasy dessert is ready. It is low in calories and you won’t gain weight even if you eat more at night.
Song Shixi likes purple sweet potatoes, so she put more in. She also used flour to make a little nose and eyes. The purple little balls were neatly placed on the plate, which was very cute.
She was about to try one when she suddenly remembered that there was a small jar of osmanthus honey in the room upstairs that she had bought in the back street yesterday. It would taste good if added to the tremella soup, so she went upstairs first.
Who knew that when I came back, most of the lovely purple dumplings had disappeared.
The culprit was just about to take a sip of her small bowl of Tremella soup when Song Shixi's pupils suddenly widened. This was the result of her one or two hours of hard work. Even if the king of heaven came today, she would not give it up.
He immediately pounced on it and snatched the food from its mouth.
Who knew that the other party's reaction was faster than hers. Song Shixi felt dizzy and when she came to her senses, she was pressed on the dining table.
The two lumps on her chest hit the solid wooden table, and she gasped in pain. Then her hands were tied behind her back and her legs were forced apart. The man's thin waist squeezed in and pressed her legs firmly with his knees and calves, like a thousand-pound stone, making her unable to move.
Almost instantly, tears welled up in the corners of my eyes.
Half of it is painful, and the other half is embarrassing.
What a crappy posture!
