Chapter 9 Chapter 9 It’s obviously the one eating grass on four legs!
At ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Zhixi returned home from get off work, took a shower first, and then plunged into the online class.
After finishing the online class, Xu Zhixi did some exercises for a while. When he looked at the time again, it was already early morning.
There were several group messages from Gao Yue on her phone. That day, Xu Zhixi asked her to call back when she was free. Gao Yue did call back, but she didn't go into details about starting a business. She just said they would meet and talk later, so she didn't ask any more questions.
Gao Yue: [Oh my god, this is not your Gene?]
Gao Yue: [Picture]
Gao Yue: [Look at Bai He's WeChat Moments. She took a photo at the DT dinner, and your Gene was in it too. It's amazing how your Gene managed to sneak into a dinner hosted by a top luxury brand, surrounded by beautiful women.]
Gao Yue was one of the people who knew that Xu Zhixi and Song Jing were in a relationship. There was another person who traveled around the world. Apart from the circle of friends proving that she was alive, she has disappeared.
More than half a month ago, facing Song Jing's sudden confession, Xu Zhixi was at a loss and had to ask Gao Yue to act as a military advisor and give her advice. According to Gao's military advisor, the easier it is to get something, the less you will cherish it. So she asked her to give Song Jing some time and not to agree easily. Unexpectedly, Xu Zhixi couldn't resist the temptation and agreed to the pursuit within a few days.
For this, Gao Yue even mocked her for being spineless.
Although she had never met Song Jing, Xu Zhixi had shown her photos.
Therefore, when I accidentally saw this photo on WeChat Moments, I recognized the person almost at first sight.
Xu Zhixi clicked on the photo, enlarged it, and got up from the bed.
Bai He was their high school classmate. After graduating from high school, he entered the entertainment industry and made some movies. Now he has achieved some fame. As long as he has good connections, it is not impossible to get into DT's dinner.
In the photo, she's wearing a trendy couture gown, flanked by another popular actress. They lean against each other, their smiles radiant. Not far behind them, a tall figure stands quietly, revealing only the sculpted profile of his face. He clutches a champagne glass, his gaze fixed forward. A faint aloofness about him completely distinguishes him from the others around him.
It really is Song Jing.
Xu Zhixi couldn't help but be stunned.
Gao Yue: [With your Gene's looks, just like you, he could definitely make his debut.]
Gao Yue: [Bai He took this photo. If you didn't know, you'd think the protagonist was your Gene. Just looking at your Gene's aura, he's definitely a big shot in the political and business world. Just standing there, he's so cool!]
Xu Zhixi: “…”
What political and business leaders.
It’s obviously the one eating grass with four legs!
Gao Yue: [Are you sure he's just a small-time Hertz leader, and not some hidden tycoon?]
Of course not.
Although Xu Zhixi also doubted his identity, after all, he gave people the impression of being very noble and having a strong aura, but the facts proved that he was really just a young man working hard in Hangzhou. At most, he had some savings and was not a wealthy man at all.
As for his temperament, perhaps some people are born like that.
If Song Jing were a wealthy family boss, she could run for national leader.
It's not that ridiculous.
The boyfriend she randomly found in the same company turned out to be a hidden big boss.
Although this is how it is portrayed in idol dramas, it would never happen to her.
Gao Yue: [He really has the aura of a big boss.]
Gao Yue: [But speaking of big...]
Gao Yue: [I met a gym rat a few days ago. /doghead]
Gu Xianyou: [Is it very big?]
Xu Zhixi: “…”
Speaking of this topic, this woman who hadn't appeared in the group for eight hundred years suddenly came alive.
Gao Yue: [Ah, actually, it’s not good if it’s too big~]
Gu Xianyou: [As long as it’s suitable.]
Gao Yue: [Big and suitable is best/dog head]
These two are really...
Xu Zhixi's cheeks flushed, and she quietly exited the group chat and turned to Song Jing's WeChat.
The DT dinner should have ended by now, but there were probably other activities. Xu Zhixi was not sure whether Song Jing would continue to participate. After hesitating for a moment, he still sent him a message.
Before this, Song Jing also sent her a WeChat message, asking her to let him know when she finished studying.
Xu Zhixi simply sent an emoticon.
A few minutes later, Song Jing replied: [End?]
Xu Zhixi: [It just ended. How about you? Is the dinner over?]
Song Jing was driving by himself this time and was waiting for the red light when he saw the message. His expression slightly restrained.
He didn't reply in a hurry, but called Qi Mu first.
"Boss." Qi Mu's respectful voice came from the receiver.
"Check as soon as possible..." He frowned and paused for a moment, his voice emotionless, "Who among those who entered the banquet hall tonight has any connection with Xixi?"
Apart from what was revealed by the backstage staff, he couldn't think of any other possibilities for the time being.
He didn't know what Xu Zhixi knew, so he couldn't respond rashly.
Although Qi Mu didn't know the reason for doing this, he didn't ask too many questions and carried out the order as quickly as possible.
After hanging up the phone, the red light turned green. Song Jing followed the car in front of him, gradually speeding up. Before the list came to him, he decided to say less and make fewer mistakes, so he didn't plan to reply to Xu Zhixi's message for the time being.
As soon as he arrived at Xu Zhixi's residence, Qi Mu called to inform him of the result.
Apart from the female star who recently became a little famous for her second female role in a TV series, the others have little connection with Xu Zhixi.
Although this female star and Xu Zhixi went to the same high school, their relationship was very ordinary.
With her network of connections, it is impossible for her to know the identity of the young master of the Song Group.
What's more, at tonight's DT dinner, no one else really knew the identity of the Song family's heir except the CEO of the organizer DT and his wife.
If it weren't for his familiarity with the DT president, Song Jing would never bother to attend such occasions.
The Song family's inherent aloofness and arrogance make them rarely appear in public, and they have no desire to be the center of attention. Even when they do appear, they are extremely low-key and never reveal their identities to anyone.
Therefore, Xu Zhixi probably only knew that he attended the DT dinner and knew nothing else.
With this realization, Song Jing's frown relaxed. He opened the car door, got out, and called Xu Zhixi.
The community only has an underground parking lot, so Song Jing did not go in. Instead, he parked his car in a temporary parking space next to the main gate of the community, turned on the headlights, and waited for Xu Zhixi to answer the call.
After ringing several times, a voice came from the other end: "Song Jing?"
Song Jing leaned against the passenger door, his brows and eyes calm: "I'm at the entrance of the community."
"Ah?" Xu Zhixi was stunned. "Why are you here so late?"
Song Jing's voice was a little tired: "I was attending a dinner with a client just now. I saw your message and came over."
Accompanying clients?
"Aren't you going with the project?" Xu Zhixi put on his slippers and pulled a coat from the hanger. "Is the client from DT?"
Song Jing asked without hesitation: "The client knows the vice president of DT, what's the problem?" He also threw a question to her.
Xu Zhixi put on his coat. Seeing him ask so calmly, he felt a little uncomfortable. "I'm just... curious. Just asking."
The other end smiled and said nothing more.
The last bit of doubt in Xu Zhixi's heart disappeared. He changed his shoes at the entrance and said, "Wait a moment, I'll be down soon."
"Get dressed."
"I am wearing it."
"Watch the road carefully."
Xu Zhixi closed the door and came out, unable to help laughing: "Teacher Song, you are so nagging."
“…”
Xu Zhixi walked to the elevator and pressed the button: "Since you are so worried, just don't hang up. Let's just chat."
Song Jing raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Okay."
They said they were just chatting casually, but in reality, Xu Zhixi was the one who mostly found the topics, and Song Jing followed them to chat with her. He was a man of few words, but he was a good listener, and he never made people feel awkward, nor did he ignore her.
The greening of the community is very good, and the night lights are bright, so it is not scary to walk on the street at night.
The building where Xu Zhixi lived was close to the main gate, and he could get out of the elevator in a few minutes.
Seeing Song Jing's car, Xu Zhixi hung up the phone and hurried over.
"You've just finished your work, why don't you go home and rest directly?" Xu Zhixi came to him, looked up at his handsome face which looked a little tired, and frowned slightly.
Song Jing reached out and gathered her coat: "I miss you."
Xu Zhixi's fair face turned hot.
This person is really...
She spoke sweet words without reservation at all. It didn't look like she was in love for the first time, but more like a veteran in the love field.
"Are you hungry?" He stroked her hair with his big hand. "I bought some food. Want to eat something in the car?"
Speaking of food, Xu Zhixi was actually a little hungry.
"Okay." She smiled at him.
Song Jing opened the passenger door for her. After she got in, he took out the food bag from the back seat, closed the door, and walked around to the driver's seat to get in.
It's a few boxes of cakes.
The packaging is exquisite and the appearance is beautiful.
There is also a box of fruit and a bottle of yogurt.
Xu Zhixi picked out a piece of tea cake and found it was a style she had never seen on the market before. It was exquisitely crafted and had a light, refreshing tea aroma. She took a bite and found it quite delicious. She looked up at the man beside her, first praising him a few times, then asked, "Where did you buy this? I want to bring a few boxes back for my dad after the Qingming Festival holiday."
Xu Zhixi's father didn't have many hobbies except tea cakes. When he had nothing to do after get off work, he would always sit in the yard and eat a few pieces of tea cakes and drink some hot tea.
Song Jing handed over a piece of paper and asked, "Are you going home for Qingming Festival?"
Xu Zhixi nodded and took the tissue: "My dad is often alone at home, and I thought I'd go back during the holidays since I don't have work."
"Okay." Song Jing smiled and said, "I'll buy it for you in advance when the time comes."
Xu Zhixi was slightly startled: "I can buy it myself."
“It doesn’t matter who buys it.”
What's the same?
But they were just a few boxes of tea cakes, no matter how expensive they were, they couldn't be that expensive, so Xu Zhixi didn't argue with him.
After taking a few sips of water to moisten her throat, Xu Zhixi was about to eat the second piece of tea cake when she suddenly realized that Song Jing hadn't moved at all, just watching her eat. After hesitating for a few seconds, she handed the tea cake to him and said, "This one is for you."
The ambient light in the car was dim, and the girl's slender fingers pinched the dark green tea cake, making her skin look even whiter than a scallion.
A certain image quickly flashed through Song Jing's mind, and he said seriously, "I'm not hungry."
Xu Zhixi didn't force him. When he heard him say he wasn't hungry, he withdrew his hand.
A hint of regret flashed across Song Jing's eyes.
Xu Zhixi noticed it, was startled, and asked tentatively: "Do you want me to feed you?"
"Can."
“…”
This old and stuffy guy.
Xu Zhixi handed the tea cake over again, this time directly to his mouth. She thought he would take a bite of her hand, but her wrist suddenly felt cold, and it was his hand that was holding it.
He lowered his head and took a bite of the tea cake.
In the enclosed space, the light was dim, and in a trance, it seemed as if he lowered his head and bit her hand.
When this thought came to his mind, Xu Zhixi felt as if he was burned by something. He pulled his hand back suddenly, but Song Jing grabbed his wrist in time, and his heart beat irregularly.
His low, hoarse voice was tinged with a faint smile: "Didn't you say to feed me?"
Xu Zhixi said stubbornly, "I've already fed him."
"I haven't eaten enough." He said seriously, "I'm still hungry."
"..." After holding it in for a long time, Xu Zhixi finally uttered two words: "Shameless."
The man laughed dumbly and held her hand tightly. "You were the one who said you wanted to feed me, so why do you think I'm shameless now, huh?"
Xu Zhixi bit her lip, trying not to look at his alluring gaze. "Then why don't I say others are shameless? It's because you always..."
This didn't make sense, it was just an excuse she made in a hurry. Song Jing didn't rush to argue with her, but only got closer: "What am I always?"
Xu Zhixi's eyes dodged. She felt that if she raised her eyes even slightly, her eyelashes would bump against his tall nose. Her breathing became disordered: "You hooligan..."
Before she could finish her words, Xu Zhixi felt a warm breath coming towards her, and her heartbeat suddenly accelerated. She felt Song Jing's slightly cool thin lips gently brushing against the tip of her nose.
It was very soft, and only a light touch was needed. It was a man's slightly dry lips, but Xu Zhixi still held her breath involuntarily.
It feels like being tickled by thousands of feathers, making my heart feel confused.
Looking at her bewildered look with her eyes downcast, Song Jing's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he said in a hoarse voice: "I'm a hooligan?"
yes.
Old rogue.
But at this time, Xu Zhixi didn't dare to say these two words anymore.
Who can guarantee that if he hears the hooligan again, he will kiss her even lower...
"Hmm?" He was still waiting for an answer.
The more Xu Zhixi thought about it, the more he became frustrated. He quickly pushed the person away with a red face and said, "I have to go upstairs. I still have a few questions to finish."
She didn't use much strength, nor did she think she could push the man away, but she didn't expect Song Jing to step back.
He sounded in a good mood: "I'll take you upstairs."
Xu Zhixi gritted her teeth and pushed open the car door: "No need."
Song Jing got out of the car behind him, bags in both hands: "Don't you want the cakes anymore?"
Xu Zhixi hurriedly took several steps, and when he heard this, he suddenly turned around and walked back. He took a few big steps to Song Jing, snatched the bag from his hand without waiting for him to speak, then turned around quickly and continued walking forward.
This series of actions was smooth and there was no hesitation at all.
Song Jing smiled gently and continued to follow behind.
He didn't stop until he saw her enter the building, and the smile in his eyes became more intense.
After standing outside for two or three minutes, he sent a message to Xu Zhixi, asking her to let him know she was safe when she got home.
However, after waiting for another two or three minutes, there was still no movement from the phone, and Song Jing's brows slowly frowned.
Without a moment's hesitation, he strode forward and at the same time took out Xu Zhixi's phone number. Suddenly, the girl's thin figure appeared in the building gate.
His frown didn't completely relax as he watched her walk towards him.
"What's wrong?" He looked solemnly, looking behind her, "There's someone upstairs..."
Before he could finish his words, the girl came up to him, raised her head and stood on tiptoe.
Song Jing's voice suddenly stopped.
Because of the height difference, she placed a light kiss on the corner of his lips. Soft as a cloud, yet capable of teasing the heart, it was fleeting.
When his heels landed on the ground, the height difference widened again. Xu Zhixi met his eyes which suddenly turned darker, her heart skipped a beat, and she quickly took half a step back.
"good evening."
The tips of her ears turned red. After she finished speaking, she turned and ran away.
Song Jing didn't catch up.
Stepping into the building again, she looked back in confusion and found that the other party was standing there like a pillar, as if turned into a stone statue. The corners of her lips could not help but rise.
So this is what it feels like to have the upper hand.
