The two reached an agreement and walked side by side toward the subway.
During the rush hour after class and get off work, the subway was packed with people, making it hard to breathe.
The subway braked suddenly, and Xi Ran lost her balance and fell forward.
Chu Jiangyi reacted quickly and pulled the person into his arms, "Are you alright?"
Xi Ran shook her head, her face flushed. It was the first time she had ever been so close to a boy. "It's nothing!"
Chu Jiang also extended an arm to Xi Ran, "Grab my arm, it will make you feel better. There are only three stops left to reach our destination. Just bear with it, it will pass quickly."
"Um!"
Xi Ran wasn't shy at all; after all, the two had already done more intimate things! Holding arms was nothing to her.
Chu Jiang also took good care of Xi Ran in the following time, making sure she wasn't jostled by others.
This scene deeply moved Xi Ran. Ever since the incident at home, her father had disappeared, leaving behind a mess, and her mother's emotions were unstable. She was always cursing and even hitting people, making it impossible to feel any warmth.
She was so tired, so very tired, she almost couldn't make it.
Fortunately, her younger brother stayed with her the whole time.
Now there's Chu Jiangyi. This person entered her life unexpectedly, catching her off guard, and her heart started pounding involuntarily.
Is this what it feels like to be smitten? Xi Ran shook her head vigorously, trying to clear away the strange thoughts that were swirling in her mind!
She had no intention of dating; her dilapidated home was not a good match for the bright and sunny young man before her.
He comes from a well-off family, and even if the two of them get together, his parents will not approve of their relationship!
She has a dilapidated home and is so ashamed in front of outsiders that she doesn't dare to mention it. What right does she have to stand with him?
They're really not a good match!
Before long, the two appeared in front of a convenience store, with a job advertisement written on the wall.
Chu Jiangyi pulled Xi Ran inside and greeted the owner with a smile!
"Hello, beautiful proprietress!"
Hey! Xiao Yi! You have a day off today!
"No holiday, today is Tuesday."
The proprietress nodded thoughtfully, "Then you're here to support us! Pick whatever you want to eat, and I'll have your uncle deliver it to your door later!"
Chu Jiang also touched his fluffy hair and chuckled.
"I have something to ask you, beautiful boss lady, today!"
"What's wrong? Just tell me!"
Chu Jiang also pulled Xi Ran, who was hiding in the back like a quail, to the front.
The proprietress's eyes lit up when she saw the girl behind Chu Jiangyi. "Who is this pretty girl?"
"My friend!"
"Oh! Then why did you bring her here? You should have just taken her home."
"The pretty boss lady still loves to joke around. Aren't you hiring part-time workers? What do you think of my friend?"
The shop owner laughed heartily, "You little rascal, your real intention isn't what it seems!"
Chu Jiang chuckled, "The pretty boss lady is indeed amazing, she saw through my intentions right away. Please do me a favor! My friend is a student at G University, I know him well, so you can trust him with your services, right?"
The proprietress looked troubled. "That's true! But... college students have unpredictable working hours. They may be available this morning or tomorrow afternoon, so it's really difficult to schedule their work."
"Working hours have to be arranged according to the class schedule, which is quite troublesome!"
Chu Jiang also flashed a sweet smile at the proprietress, revealing eight teeth.
"Pretty boss, you can't think like that! Hiring a part-time job would be great! Even though the regular work schedule is unstable, you have to think about the advantages of Saturdays and Sundays!"
"You just have to work a little harder during the week, and you can rest on weekends. You can even take the kids to the amusement park or have a picnic. Isn't that great!"
“She can come over and help you out when she has free time, so you can relax a bit. The timing is perfect, it’s like killing two birds with one stone.”
Bai Ruobing thought about it and it made sense. From Monday to Friday, the two children went to school, so she could be busy with things at the shop. On Saturdays and Sundays, she could rest and play parent-child games with the children. The two children usually complained that she didn't spend enough time with them. According to Jiang Yi, it was quite a good deal!
"You're such a smooth talker, but what you said makes sense. I need to think about it. Hiring another person will cost a lot!"
Chu Jiang walked directly up to the beautiful proprietress and communicated with her in a voice that only the two of them could hear!
"Pretty boss lady, please help me out! My friend is very hardworking, but her family isn't well-off. Just consider it a good deed, okay?"
After hesitating for a long time, Bai Ruobing finally nodded. The fact that she could spend time with her child on Saturdays and Sundays was quite appealing to her!
"Alright, this girl is fair-skinned and pretty! She's pleasing to the eye! She looks like a well-behaved child! You wouldn't happen to have a crush on her, would you?"
Chu Jiang's face flushed red. "What nonsense are you talking about! I didn't say anything. Don't talk nonsense, the young girl will be shy!"
Bai Ruobing gave him a knowing look and patted his shoulder reassuringly, "You still say you're not interested in people? Do you think anyone would believe you? I've already found them jobs!"
"There's no need to hide anything from me. You're a college student, why are you afraid of your parents catching you dating?"
"It's normal to date when you're young! I understand! After all, I was young once too!"
