Chapter 309 Do You Like Her?
Shen Xing's expression froze in astonishment. Shi Jingming smiled upon seeing this. "She hasn't told you any of this, has she? She's just like that. She never shows weakness in front of others. In fact, sometimes I really admire her. Even though life is so difficult, she's always been optimistic and resilient. She's never complained about the unfairness of life. Instead, she's full of energy to change her destiny on her own."
At this point, Shi Jingming's eyes were filled with sincere praise and admiration: "And she did it too. She was recommended for admission to Longcheng University, the only one in our school!"
Shen Xing was shocked by Shi Jingming's words. He had never thought that the squad leader's life experience was like this, because you could know from her daily food, clothing, housing and transportation that her family might not be rich, but you could not get any clues about her tragic fate.
He himself had been without a father since childhood, but he had a mother and a sister, so he was much luckier than Jiang Ran.
"Are you scared?"
Shi Jingming raised his hand and waved it in front of his eyes. Shen Xing looked back and whispered, "It's a bit unexpected. I didn't expect it to be like this."
Shi Jingming looked at him with a smile and reminded him, "Don't show that expression in front of her, and don't try to pity her. She hates it the most."
"I know I won't. I admire her as much as you do."
By this time the meal was ready and Shi Jingming stood up to serve it.
Freshly fried French fries are best eaten while hot. Shi Jingming hadn't been to KFC for a long time. After sitting down, he couldn't wait to pour everything onto the plate: "This is the best way to eat!"
"After the college entrance examination, will you confess your love to the class monitor?" Shen Xing, holding a French fry, suddenly looked at Shi Jingming seriously and asked.
“Ahem…”
Shi Jingming choked on the food in his mouth when he heard this. He coughed violently twice before looking up and asking in horror, "What did you say?"
Seeing his reaction, Shen Xing frowned: "Don't you like the class monitor?"
"Who told you?" Shi Jingming showed a helpless expression.
Shen Xing was speechless and blinked blankly.
Shi Jingming shook his head speechlessly and sighed: "It's not your fault. You are not the first person to misunderstand the relationship between her and me."
Misunderstand?
Shen Xing was a little confused, thinking of the scene when he and Shi Jingming met for the first time. He suddenly came out and gave the class monitor a beautifully wrapped gift. Although he later heard the class monitor say that the gift inside was particularly ugly, but being able to give gifts to the opposite sex so blatantly in the playground, doesn't it mean that he likes you?
Moreover, Shi Jingming even "boasted" that he also wanted to be admitted to Long University. Wasn't it because he was the class monitor who was admitted to Long University?
"You don't like the monitor?"
"Yes, I do." Shi Jingming nodded, then corrected him, "But it's not the kind of love you think. Jiang Ran and I have been in the same class since elementary school, junior high school, and high school. If it weren't for the sudden re-classification after the general exam in senior year, we would still be in the same class now. She is my best friend."
His tone was so natural and genuine that Shen Xing had no doubts about it.
"Oh, so that's how it is. I misunderstood. I'm sorry." Shen Xing apologized in a low voice.
Shi Jingming suddenly leaned forward and moved closer to him, his eyes shining as he lowered his voice and asked, "Do you like Jiang Ran?"
Shen Xing: “?”
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't." Shen Xing quickly denied: "You are joking with me, that's fine, but the class monitor is a girl, it's not good to say anything nonsense."
His Mandarin has a slight southern accent, which sounds very interesting.
Shi Jingming curled his lips when he heard this: "Didn't you ask me the same thing just now?"
"I don't know if I misunderstood. After all, your previous behavior seemed to be very easy to misunderstand."
"So you really don't like Jiang Ran? I think you two are a perfect match. You're the young master of a wealthy family, and she's the tenacious Cinderella from a poor family. It's like a fairy tale! You're both academic masters. If you two can be together, you'll be successful in everything you do in the future."
Shi Jingming's words became increasingly outrageous, and Shen Xing quickly interrupted him: "Stop it now, what the hell is going on? Even eating can't stop your mouth!"
Shi Jingming observed his reaction. Seeing that he really didn't seem to have any extra feelings for Jiang Ran, he curled his lips in disinterest and said, "Okay, I won't say anything."
At the same time, "thousands of lights are on."
Deng Xiwen knocked on the door of the Shen family villa with a stainless steel tray, and Shen Jingjing enthusiastically let her in.
"Eh? You're home alone? Isn't Xingxing finished school yet?"
After entering the house, Deng Xiwen found that Shen Jingjing was the only one at home, and she couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
"Xingxing said she was having dinner with her classmates outside and would come back later. What are you holding?"
Deng Xiwen finally reacted and quickly handed over the stainless steel tray in her hand: "I made some extra lasagna and brought it here especially for you to eat together. Let you try it too."
"You made it yourself?" Shen Jingjing happily took it, the sweet and sour smell of tomatoes hitting her face: "It smells so good. I was thinking of making some noodles for myself later."
"How could I possibly have that kind of cooking skills?" Deng Xiwen smiled and waved her hand. "My husband doesn't like Western food, so we don't usually cook it at home. I only ask the nanny to make something I like when he's not around. He's not here today, so the two of us sisters can cook a little, have a drink, and chat."
The two of them have been in frequent contact recently, but it was Deng Xiwen who took the initiative to come to her house. Shen Jingjing was very happy about this. It was not easy to meet a like-minded friend in the unfamiliar Longcheng, and she cherished it very much.
On the dining table, there was an open notebook.
Shen Jingjing went into the kitchen to get tableware. After Deng Xiwen sat down, she subconsciously took a curious look, but found Shen Jingjing's resume on the computer desktop.
"Jingjing, what are you doing? Looking for a job?"
Shen Jingjing came out with the tableware and set it out. She made a silencing gesture to Deng Xiwen and reminded her, "Just keep it to yourself. Don't tell Lianxing, otherwise Ah Ci will definitely find out and she won't let me go out to work."
"Aci is worried about you and wants you to enjoy life at home."
"I know, but I can't stay here." Shen Jingjing closed the computer and sat down opposite Deng Xiwen: "Besides, I'm just trying, I may not be able to find it."
"Then what kind of job are you looking for? It can't be too hard, otherwise not only Aci will disagree, but I won't agree either." Deng Xiwen said seriously.
Shen Jingjing smiled when she heard this: "It won't be hard. It's just my old line of work in the hotel industry. I've been doing this for decades and have a lot of experience. I'm also quite curious about the hotel industry in Longcheng and want to give it a try. I don't know how to do anything else."
Recently, Ji Yongxiu's story involves the alphabet circle. What I want to say here is that I fully respect everyone in this circle. All the negative emotions in the article are only directed at Ji Yongxiu as a person and have nothing to do with the alphabet circle.
I hope everyone will respect all personal choices and preferences that are "private," "non-intrusive," and "legally permitted." Everyone is different, and respecting others makes the world a diverse one.
