Chapter 173 Tit for tat
"Are you... under too much pressure recently? Why do you have such strange thoughts..."
"Perhaps."
Ji Yan didn't necessarily want her answer and didn't continue talking about the dream.
The scene of the two of them facing each other always gave him a very familiar feeling. His anxious mood of many days also calmed down, and his tightly locked brows gradually relaxed.
It was as if the cloudy sky had been cleared away, and the already superior facial features suddenly came alive.
He looked at Lin Chuchu carefully, and it seemed that something was different about her, but he couldn't tell what it was.
"How are you? Is business going well at the store?"
This opening greeting was difficult to answer. Lin Chuchu nodded hesitantly, "Very good..."
In fact, she didn't even know how much money she made every day. Xiao Shuo was the one who took care of it for her...
She laughed and said, "Come over and sit down if you have time. Please take care of my business."
Ji Yan smiled and said, "I'll go there after I finish these two days."
After chatting for a while, Lin Chuchu asked about the breakup, "Brother Ji, why did you and Sister Qingxue break up?"
You know what, I'm quite curious!
These are the male and female protagonists! A match made in heaven! They can't be separated even if you try hard.
How did they both break free from the constraints of the plot at the same time?
Even if this breakup is short-lived.
Until this point, Lin Chuchu didn't think they had really broken up, and thought they were just having some conflicts at most.
Because the system did not indicate any signs of collapse of the small world.
"I didn't do well enough." Ji Yan lowered his eyes, turned his head, and looked out the window. "Qingxue has always been excellent, but I... denied her efforts."
Jiang Qingxue gave up her studies, which he really couldn't understand at the time, so he could only choose to respect it.
Because of this, their relationship became distant for a few days. After he figured it out, Jiang Qingxue seemed to be avoiding him on purpose and perfectly avoided the times of all his invitations.
There was no choice but to go downstairs of her house and block her way.
That day, he waited until late at night before anyone showed up.
In the drizzle, Jiang Qingxue got out of a white car. She was wearing a well-tailored black suit with a simple white shirt underneath. The black miniskirt perfectly showed off her curvy figure. Coupled with high heels, it was a side of her that he had never seen before. Suddenly, his hand was a step too late to open the car door.
A young man got out of the cab of a white car, jogging and holding his coat over Jiang Qingxue's head. He didn't care at all about getting wet by the rain. He almost held her in his arms as he walked into the unit door.
Under the orange light in the hall, you can even see half of the two people leaning on each other.
He waited in the car for a long time, but the man didn't get out.
By the way, they had met once before at the opening ceremony of Lin Chuchu's coffee shop.
The phone screen was still stuck on the few words he had sent:
"Qingxue, why don't you answer the phone?"
"Are you busy?"
"Call me back when you're done, okay? We can talk."
"I'll wait for you downstairs at your house."
He opened the car window and lit a cigarette, but took only one puff and let the smoke linger in front of his eyes.
The phone suddenly vibrated twice, and she finally replied: "Ayan, let's break up."
…
But Ji Yan didn’t say these.
Lin Chuchu thought the conflict was still about Jiang Qingxue's suspension of study. She thought it would be better to create some opportunities for the two of them, so she suggested:
"I'll call Jiang Shiyan out later. Why don't you go in and see Sister Qingxue? I heard that she broke two ribs. She must be in a lot of pain! Since you're here..."
I don't need her to teach me what to do, right?
Sick people need gentle and caring care the most, especially from their loved ones.
Unexpectedly, the man on the other side laughed, but did not answer. Instead, he rubbed her head and said, "I won't go. I'll go back first. Remember to call me if you have anything."
Lin Chuchu said, "Ah?" "In such a hurry?"
Just arrived and leaving?
"I have a project team to lead later."
Ji Yancai thought Lin Chuchu's dazed expression was very cute and wanted to rub her for a while longer, but then he thought of her complicated and ambiguous relationship with her teacher and Jiang Shiyan.
He withdrew his hand and his smile faded.
"I'm leaving."
Lin Chuchu followed his back and saw the man standing at the door of ward 502, looking at them coldly.
Xiao Shuo, who had seen the two's intimate behavior the whole time, had a cold brow like a knife. He couldn't help but tighten his fingers on the handle. A surge of anger shot straight into his heart and lungs. How could that man be worthy of Qingxue's true love! ?
Even when the two of them walked up to him, he still hadn't adjusted his mood.
Lin Chuchu could tell at a glance that Xiao Shuo was in a bad mood and looked like he was ready to eat someone, so she simply greeted him, "What a coincidence."
The three people who came for Jiang Qingxue were standing outside the door, staring at each other.
Xiao Shuo said in a bad tone, "Ms. Lin, if you have time, could you pay more attention to the operation of Orange Light?"
Instead of this, he even didn't let go of his sister's lover.
???
Are you okay?
Is our employment relationship reversed?
Lin Chuchu's face turned cold, but just as she showed her edge, Xiao Shuo turned the gun around and met Ji Yan's eyes.
"Mr. Ji, please forgive me for being so presumptuous, but you really shouldn't be here."
Then he glanced at Lin Chuchu from the corner of his eye, and said with a warning, "I hope you can still maintain some gentlemanly manners."
If Qingxue knew that they were having an affair, she would probably be heartbroken.
Facing Xiao Shuo's aggressiveness, Ji Yan became even more calm and composed. His smiling eyes seemed to be filled with a gentle light, and his attitude was very polite: "Who are you...? Have we met before?"
The two men were almost at loggerheads.
Lin Chuchu watched the fun from the sidelines and whispered, "Brother Ji, he is the assistant my father assigned to Qingxue to handle business! His name is Xiao Shuo, you have met him before!"
When did these two people become enemies? Was it because of the heroine?
She finally understood Ruan Ying's happiness. Gossiping is fun, and gossiping all the time is fun!
Ji Yan raised his eyebrows slightly, with a perfect smile on his lips, "It turned out to be Assistant Xiao."
The smiling tiger is coming!
Lin Chuchu was looking forward to Xiao Shuo's next performance, and was just about to grab a handful of melon seeds when the system suddenly said sinisterly: "Host, you are still traveling through time, remember?"
System: "Go get down to business!"
“…”
Because the three of them looked very outstanding, they were very conspicuous standing in the corridor. A middle-aged nurse pushed a girl with a plaster ankle by, and the girl in the wheelchair looked at them curiously several times.
"A battle between new and old loves, so exciting..."
She speculated excitedly, "Will they fight? I want to see it!" The nurse disagreed, "No, they can't fight. This is a hospital. Loud noises are prohibited."
The conversation faded away.
Lin Chuchu didn't expect that the melon would be eaten by herself. She cleared her throat awkwardly and started the fight, "Brother Ji, you are in a hurry. Let's go! You won't be in a hurry soon!"
"I'll take you down!"
As the two turned around and went downstairs, they could still hear Xiao Shuo's deep breathing as he calmed down.
She began to ask, "Why is Assistant Xiao so excited? Did you have a conflict? When did it happen?"
"No, I don't even know him. It might be a physical problem. I guess his blood pressure is a little high."
“…”What he said.
After seeing Ji Yan off, Lin Chuchu stood there thinking whether she should go up and say hello again. After thinking it over, she decided not to.
As long as the heroine is fine and her little world is stable, it's fine. She's not here just to visit the patient.
As time was running out, Lin Chuchu raised her legs to leave, but a pair of arms tightly wrapped around her waist from behind.
System: "It's Brother Xiao Jiang."
Ever since Lin Chuchu unlocked her genetic memory, the system has become much more humane and no longer coldly refers to her as the target of attack, Jiang Shiyan.
"Sister Chuchu doesn't want to see me?"
The young man behind her put his head on her shoulder, and there was a hint of coldness in his warm and tender voice.
"Ji Yan's back is already out of sight, do you still want to catch up with him?"
Lin Chuchu: "You're such a jealous person."
