After Wu Jing finished speaking, she remembered seeing him having dinner with a woman that day, and felt it was inappropriate, so she added:
"Oh dear, I completely forgot. My sister-in-law is definitely going to be upset, isn't she?"
Yang Xiu raised an eyebrow, "Sister-in-law?"
Wu Jing pursed her lips, "The one who sat opposite you at the Western restaurant last time..."
Yang Xiu understood and chuckled, "That's my friend. I'm not married and I don't have a girlfriend, so there's no such thing as a sister-in-law."
Wu Jing's expression was complicated, a mixture of embarrassment at having misunderstood the situation and surprise at learning that he was single.
The two of them, for reasons unknown, sat down in the restaurant.
This is a Shandong cuisine restaurant. Wu Jing wanted to eat sweet and sour pork, so Yang Xiu brought her to this restaurant.
"The sweet and sour pork here is really authentic, want one?"
Yang Xiu took the menu and ordered.
He ordered five classic Shandong-style home-style dishes.
During the meal, he discovered that Wu Jing really liked sweet and sour flavors.
To be honest, he eats more Western food and doesn't really like sweet and sour dishes.
However, I tried it today and thought it tasted pretty good.
People's tastes really do change.
"Didn't you say that you were interning at CCTV and your salary was enough to buy a computer worth nearly 20,000 yuan?" Yang Xiu asked curiously after taking a sip of water.
Wu Jing smiled sweetly, "It's all because of my uncle. He insisted on buying me a birthday present. I figured he had money anyway, so I bought him the computer I'd been wanting for a while."
I never expected you'd save me half the money.
Yang Xiu nodded. "This is an event that the mall usually holds, so consider it a birthday celebration for you. What day is it exactly? How do you plan to celebrate?"
Wu Jing told him that her birthday was still a few days away, but she hadn't decided how to celebrate yet because she had a lot of work lately and was afraid she wouldn't have time to celebrate.
“My parents said that I’m 24 years old now and should spend more time with my friends’ kids, so they’re planning to throw me a birthday party, but I haven’t thought about it yet,” Wu Jing said honestly.
From their conversation, Yang Xiu learned that her parents were both civil servants with a good family background, her uncle was a businessman, and she had a cousin who was a lawyer.
Her family is actually quite well-off.
"If you really don't have time, you can still have time for a meal, right? I'll treat you to a meal then!"
Yang Xiu extended an invitation.
He had never celebrated anyone's birthday before, but for some reason, he really wanted to spend Wu Jing's 24th birthday with her.
"By the way, you just said you're not married and don't have a girlfriend. Would you mind telling me your age?" Wu Jing suddenly asked him.
Yang Xiu felt embarrassed. "Thirty-two. Isn't that quite old? I went abroad after graduating from university and stayed there for many years. I came back to start my own business two years ago."
He said a lot all at once.
He's usually reluctant to talk about his past, but now he's very eager to express it.
However, he did not mention that he was the adopted son of an official, nor did he mention that he had feelings for his younger sister.
He was worried that Wu Jing would have a negative opinion of him because of these things.
He chatted with her, his enthusiasm tinged with a hint of caution.
The two got along well and unknowingly spent more than two hours at the restaurant.
When they parted, both of them looked somewhat unnatural, with a hint of reluctance on their faces.
What made Wu Jing even more regretful was that she had forgotten to ask Yang Xiu for his phone number again.
Yang Xiu was clever; he immediately returned to the mall and copied down her home address and phone number from the sales clerk.
The following evening, after a struggle with his conscience, Yang Xiu dialed that number.
Wu's mother answered the phone. Hearing a young man's voice saying he wanted to see Wu Jing, she smiled and called Wu Jing to answer the phone.
"Jingjing, you don't have a boyfriend, do you?"
Before answering the phone, Wu's mother raised an eyebrow and asked.
Wu Jing repeatedly denied it, saying, "Mom, what are you talking about? I'm not in the mood to date right now."
After saying that, she answered the phone, speaking politely but distantly:
"Hello, this is Wu Jing. What do you need?"
Yang Xiu's deep voice rang out, "It's me... I just wanted to ask, has the computer been delivered to you?"
Wu Jing bit her finger, glanced at her mother, and then lowered her voice to say:
How did you get my home phone number?
Yang Xiu: "You left this when you bought the computer."
Wu Jing smiled shyly, "Are all you science and engineering guys this smart? I thought we'd have to rely on chance encounters to meet in the future."
Yang Xiu: "Whether I'm smart or not is another matter. If there are any problems with the computer in the future, you can contact me anytime. This is my phone number."
Wu Jing: "Then can you help me assemble it now?"
When the department store staff delivered it, she felt it was a bit late and that she could handle it herself, so she didn't have them assemble it.
She suddenly realized that she didn't need to be so capable.
Half an hour later, Yang Xiu's car stopped at the entrance of Wu Jing's residential compound.
This is a new residential area, and the buildings are all modern apartment buildings.
He quickly found the place based on the address.
There was a knock on the door, and Wu Jing quickly went to open it.
After Yang Xiu entered the house, Wu's mother came out to drink water and asked who this person was.
"Oh, it's about assembling computers. Mom, you should go to sleep now."
As she spoke, she pulled Yang Xiu into her room.
Yang Xiu had planned to greet her family, but in just a few seconds, he was pulled into Wu Jing's boudoir.
Wu Jing's room was decorated in a fresh and beautiful style, with white walls, pink curtains and sheets, and beige modular furniture.
The bulky computer sat on her desk.
She was clearly fiddling with it herself; the power cord was already plugged in.
Yang Xiu quickly got to work, setting up the computer in no time and installing software on a floppy disk.
"Sit still, I'll show you how to operate it."
Wu Jing then sat in the chair and used the mouse to operate the computer.
Wu Jing found the document page and started trying to type.
At that time, the main input methods available were Microsoft's Pinyin input and Wubi input.
Wu Jing has practiced Wubi input method and can type very fast.
This was quite surprising to Yang Xiu, who had never practiced Wubi input method before.
"Looks like you're better at using computers than I am," he said with a smile, standing to the side.
Wu Jing pursed her lips and raised an eyebrow, "Want me to teach you?"
Yang Xiu was eager to learn; she looked down at the computer and saw that she had brought up a Wubi word root table.
"See? If you memorize these word roots, your typing speed will improve significantly."
As she spoke, she turned her head and her face met Yang Xiu's.
His face was delicate and refined, and because he was thin, there was not an ounce of fat on him. His eyes were long and narrow, and his eyelashes were long and black, and each eyelash was clearly visible up close.
Wu Jing's face suddenly turned red.
Yang Xiu also sensed that something was wrong with his aura, and quickly stood up straight and said:
"Actually, I'm not that eager to improve my typing speed."
After all, he's the boss; he can delegate the typing work to others.
Realizing that he and Wu Jing were being too intimate, he hurriedly said goodbye.
