Chapter 13 Chapter 13 The Desire of Social Animals
At first, he could restrain his gaze, which only lingered on her neck.
In the end, he became more and more outrageous, as if he had a physical body, like a noose, tentatively wrapped around her neck.
Shen Run touched his neck and instinctively struggled twice.
This struggle actually excited it. It gently stroked her neck and then tightened suddenly.
The force was subtle enough not to strangle her, but it also didn't mean she would have an easy time.
Without any warning, I wanted to see her suffer.
She subconsciously pulled at her neck, but it was empty, so she kicked her legs violently.
Until a scream woke her up.
She suddenly sat up in bed, holding her neck and gasping for breath.
Fang Yi stood at the door, with an overturned fruit plate and scattered fruits at her feet. She covered her mouth, too terrified to speak.
It was Shen Run who finally caught his breath and spoke first: "What's wrong?"
She subconsciously picked up the small mirror beside the bed and looked at herself. There were no marks on her neck except for the scratches she left herself.
Fang Yi trembled and said, "I made a fruit plate and planned to bring it to you. When I got to the door, I found you were asleep. I was about to leave when I didn't expect you to be strangled by the neck. Your face turned red and you scratched your neck desperately, struggling as you scratched..."
The more she talked, the more it felt like a supernatural event, and she was a little terrified: "What did you dream about?"
Fell asleep? She was clearly chatting with Xu Jingwen on WeChat just now.
Chen Run subconsciously glanced at the chat history and found that the last message she replied to was half an hour ago. She actually slept for half an hour without him noticing?
She was a little dumbfounded.
However, as a materialistic and five-good young person, she felt that her psychological problems were entirely caused by the recent excessive pressure, so she took out her mobile phone and searched for a psychologist for consultation.
The cheapest is 200/hour.
She silently closed the page and took out a pirated inspirational book with typos and missing pages from the drawer.
She didn't know if the inspirational quotes had really worked, but she hadn't experienced any chest pain or nightmares until the weekend. Soon the time came for her meeting with Xu Jingwen, and in order to save money on the subway, she walked four kilometers to the bar where she was supposed to meet Xu Jingwen. She was exhausted and sweating.
Seeing a familiar figure, she walked over with a smile and took the initiative to say hello: "Senior, you are here so early."
Xu Jingwen has a gentle and handsome appearance, wearing a well-tailored shirt, a pair of square-framed glasses on his nose, and a hint of scholarly air between his brows.
He specifically chose a relatively private location - many couples would choose this kind of corner so that they can do some intimate actions without being disturbed.
Seeing Chen Run coming over, he stood up and smiled: "Xiao Run, come and sit down." He pointed to the snacks on the table: "I ordered them especially for you, I wonder if you like them."
Although they were just ordinary snacks like sweet potato noodles and fried fish balls, Shen Run was still quite touched after having encountered so many bad things. She scratched her hair embarrassedly and said, "Thank you, senior. I'm sorry for the expense."
Xu Jingwen chuckled softly and patted her upper arm in an intimate manner. "Why are you being so polite to me? Since you call me senior, it's only natural that I take care of you."
This action was very subtle, appearing intimate but not too offensive to the woman. As expected, Shen Run didn't think much about it and smiled at him again.
The two sat down and chatted casually, but didn't talk much about work. Xu Jingwen deliberately led the topic to love life, and Shen Run was indeed touched. Under his guidance, he talked a lot unconsciously. The two of them talked more and more enthusiastically, and his favorability towards him soared again.
During this period, he would rub her head from time to time, or touch the back of her hand intentionally or unintentionally. Shen Run was careless and didn't notice it at first, but later she realized something was wrong and wondered if she was overthinking it.
It was getting late, and whenever Chen Run wanted to leave, Xu Jingwen would either refill her snacks and fruit wine or gently ask her to stay. It was past ten o'clock, and Chen Run, who had a regular sleep schedule, was already yawning non-stop. She could no longer sit still and stood up, saying, "Senior, I have to go back first."
"What's the rush? You don't have to work tomorrow..." Xu Jingwen started talking. Seeing that Chen Run was still determined to leave, he stood up and said very gentlemanly, "Then I'll take you there."
Without waiting for Chen Run to speak, he followed her out of the bar, and the two of them walked slowly along a small path - at the end of the path was a very famous hotel chain.
Xu Jingwen glanced at the hotel's neon sign without leaving any trace, and said with a smile: "Xiao Run, what do you think of me?"
Chen Run nodded immediately: "Senior, you are a very good person. You have helped me a lot in both work and life. If it weren't for you, I would still be confused now."
"In that case..." Xu Jingwen said, "Do you want to try dating me?"
He smiled and said, "Xiao Run, I have a good impression of you. Besides, it's not easy for a girl like you to leave your hometown and work in the Magic City. Can I take care of you?"
In fact, when he invited her, Shen Run was mentally prepared, but when she heard him say it so bluntly, she was still a little stunned.
She thought about it and said straightforwardly, "Senior, I also have a good impression of you, but I just found a new job and it's not stable yet. Can you give me a few days to think about it?"
She spoke frankly, and Xu Jingwen didn't know what to say. However, he couldn't help but feel regretful that he didn't succeed tonight.
But on the surface, he still smiled elegantly: "Of course, I understand." He even did not forget to praise Shen Run: "I didn't expect you to be so hardworking and motivated. I really think I've found a treasure." He spoke as if the two of them had already decided.
Without saying anything, he took Shen Run's hand, walked to the intersection and helped her get a taxi, completely putting himself in the role of her boyfriend.
Only after watching the taxi drive away did he reveal a determined smile.
In fact, he already had a girlfriend when he and Shen Run first met, but Shen Run was really beautiful. Not to mention compared with celebrities, she was also the most beautiful ordinary person he had ever seen, so he didn't tell her that he had a girlfriend. He put her in his own fish pond and sent a few messages from time to time to show his concern and greetings.
But a few days ago, he broke up with his girlfriend due to relationship problems, and he finally thought of this beautiful junior high school girl again, thinking that he could get along with her for a short time during the period of being single to relieve his loneliness.
Of course, he had no plans for any long-term development with her - after all, apart from his face, Chen Run had nothing to show for himself in other aspects. He had an average education and a mediocre job, his family was a business in a small county town, and he had an older brother. His life was simply hell.
Xu Jingwen's family is a local family with only one child. Both his parents are highly educated and consider themselves to be from a scholarly family. Naturally, he looks down on Chen Run's conditions.
He was a little impatient because he failed to succeed tonight. He thought about whether he should give some gifts to advance the relationship, so he opened the online shopping app and searched for jewelry necklaces worn by young women. When he saw the amount of less than two thousand, his fingers stopped and hesitated.
He thought about it, took a screenshot and searched for the same item on Bingxixi. He bought it for 80 yuan and spent another 20 yuan to buy a big-brand jewelry box.
He comes from a well-off family and works in a parasol company, so of course he can't be short of these two thousand yuan, but... he is a little reluctant to spend this money on Shen Run.
Men always have a scale in their hearts. To put it bluntly, he thinks Chen Run is not worth the price.
He had just finished placing the order when his phone suddenly rang. A colleague from the same team called: "Do you remember the position the company publicly recruited last month? I heard they recently hired someone, and they're in the same campus as us. I heard that right after they arrived, Director Lu personally brought them into the confidentiality team. Director Lu is very pleased with them."
This refers to the nanny position that takes care of Chi Shuangliu. The salary offered by this position is extremely attractive, but the job content is highly confidential. So as soon as the recruitment announcement came out, many eyes inside and outside the company were fixed on this position.
Xu Jingwen was very interested: "Oh? Did you see the person you recruited?"
He was in a technical position and his education level was considered high compared to ordinary people, but it was totally inadequate in the parasol company. So after working there for three years, he was still considered a low-level technician with an annual salary of only 300,000 yuan. When he was 35 years old, he faced the crisis of being eliminated due to optimization.
The starting salary for this newly recruited position is 40,000 yuan per month, and the annual salary from various benefits and bonuses can reach 600,000 yuan. The recruits are young people in their early twenties. According to this trend, the annual salary of the new recruits will exceed one million before they turn 30.
Not to mention that after working for a full year, you can get billions of options and shares, directly control the means of production, and jump from an ordinary worker to a capitalist who looks down on everyone. You are also Mr. Lu’s confidant. Many senior executives of Sun Umbrella don’t have such treatment. It’s really enviable.
Colleague: "I don't know. Our campus is so big, how can we just bump into him? But I'm also curious about what that legendary newcomer looks like."
Xu Jingwen pretended to be relaxed: "It doesn't matter if I can't meet him, he's not in the same department as us anyway."
He pretended not to care, but in fact he had already made plans in his mind. On the one hand, he was jealous, and on the other hand, he was planning when to make friends with this rare network resource. If he established a friendship with the other party, maybe the other party would help him in the future.
Ever since the news of the new hires spread, not only him, but many people have been planning to make some friends with them.
......
Chen Run once said that she wanted to go to Disney, but she had never been able to go in order to save money. Today, Xu Jingwen specially gave her a Disney peripheral doll, which was her favorite IP. It can be said that he was quite thoughtful.
She placed the doll neatly at the head of the bed.
She was grinning at the doll and was distracted, not noticing the gaze coming towards her again.
At this moment, he finally got a glimpse of her desire.
To be loved, to be praised, to be seen, to be firmly chosen.
Unlike the disgusting desires he had been forced to accept, her desire exuded a sweet and delicious aroma.
It was so delicious that he almost lost control. His Adam's apple slid uncontrollably, saliva was secreted under his tongue instinctively, and his stomach, which was originally just a decoration, began to move slowly.
So hungry…
A glimmer of greed flashed across the deepest part of his eyes.
The only tricky thing is that this desire is not caused by him and cannot be controlled by him.
