But she just couldn't control herself. Everyone in the world could be mean to her, even herself, but Qin Ge couldn't.
There was no sound on the phone. Shengxia held the phone and glanced at the clock on the dormitory manager's wall. It was already past ten o'clock.
In fact, during the military training period, Qin Ge had called her most of the time during the day, in order to let her have a good rest after the training. Now he calls her at night, maybe he has no time to spare during the day...
"Qin Ge, I..." Sheng Xia was about to say something when she was interrupted by Qin Ge.
"The work on the construction site is about to end. Other people will take care of the follow-up matters. He paid me a salary of more than 30,000 yuan."
When Shengxia heard this, she was surprised and happy: "More than 30,000! That's a lot!
Compared to the income this construction site brought to Xu Jianhong, this little money was nothing. Qin Ge nodded into the phone. Then he said, "When you graduate, just stay at home."
"Why?"
Shengxia was puzzled. Her first reaction was: "Does Xu Jianhong want you to stay in Shancheng?"
"I'm not sure about that, but I'll find a way to deal with the money. I don't need you. The little money you earn from finding a job is meaningless."
"So what do I do?"
Qin Ge frowned on the other end of the phone. He couldn't understand why Sheng Xia asked this question. He said, "Come to me, I'll support you."
Shengxia's voice couldn't help but rise: "What was it like before? I said I didn't want to go to college, but you forced me to take it. Now that I've passed, you don't let me do anything. Qin Ge, I don't know how to do anything now. I can't even support myself..."
"So what?" Qin Ge's tone unconsciously became impatient: "What else do you want? I will find a way to give you whatever you want. Just give me some time. Isn't that possible?"
"That's not the question at all!" Sheng Xia didn't know how to explain to him. That man was still the most important person to her. "Qin Ge, I don't want to rely on you for everything. I also want to take on some responsibilities for you. If something goes wrong, I'll hide in your arms and cry. How much pressure must that be on you?"
Qin Ge keenly caught the sadness in her tone: "Baby, tell me, what's wrong with you?"
Qin Ge's low voice fell into Shengxia's ears, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red, and the sourness that she had suppressed in her eyes surged up: "It's okay... It's really okay... You heard it wrong..."
The sadness that Shengxia was suppressing was barely audible, but it seemed to be magnified ten thousand times in Qin Ge's ears. His anger was suppressed by Shengxia's sob, and he called softly: "Baby?"
Shengxia couldn't help it.
She admitted that she had been hiding behind Qin Ge for too long, so long that she was used to leaving all the difficulties to Qin Ge to deal with. It was like this in her previous life, and she didn't want to be like this in this life. She had never trained herself to be able to deal with setbacks, and she finally wanted to take some of the responsibility for him.
But she didn't expect it to be so tricky. Now that Qin Ge called her gently, she wanted to drop everything and run into his arms.
"Weren't you so fierce just now?" Shengxia said aggrievedly.
Qin Ge slowed down his tone: "Baby, I was not in a good tone just now. I apologize to you. Tell me first, what happened to you?"
Shengxia bit her lip and said, "Nothing, I just feel that you are too tired. I feel like a waste and will only drag you down."
She couldn't hold it in in the end. She had never been able to hold it in in front of Qin Ge. She reached out to wipe away her tears and turned her back, not wanting others to see her crying.
"Qin Ge, am I really useless? Even military training can make me like this..."
Hearing this, Qin Ge felt a little relieved. Perhaps the military training had tired the little girl out, and she felt wronged. His tone was not good, which made the little girl even sadder. But Shengxia's crying voice fell into Qin Ge's ears through the phone, and his heart was suddenly pulled up: "Don't cry... baby, it's okay. If you are really too tired, let's take a break, okay?"
As soon as he said this, Shengxia's tears flowed even harder.
"What do you mean it's okay... I can't even bear this little bit of hardship! How can I help you in the future? Why don't you scold me? You should scold me!"
Qin Ge listened to the crying voice on the phone, and his hand gripping the phone tightened. He glanced at the clock hanging in the hotel. It would take more than two hours to drive back to Hai City from here on the highway. If he drove faster, it would take less than two hours.
"Baby, listen to me. Go back to the dormitory and sleep first. I'll come find you now, okay?"
"Aren't you in the mountain city now?"
Shengxia sniffed. Qin Ge just told her on the phone to go back to sleep and not think about anything else.
After hanging up the phone, Qin Ge hurried upstairs to ask for leave from Xu Jianhong. Xu Jianhong was lying on the bed, and two masseuses were massaging his back.
Qin Ge never asked for leave. He used to work alone on the construction site day and night, and he never complained of being tired even if he didn't sleep for several days.
Xu Jianhong asked him where he was going. Qin Ge said that the girl in Hai City was not feeling well and he was worried about her so he went back to check on her.
Since the people sent by Tianyu Group for acceptance and evaluation hadn't arrived yet, and the top leaders wouldn't arrive until tomorrow, Xu Jianhong gave him a day off. "Okay, but tomorrow my brother-in-law and the acquisition manager from Tianyu Group are coming. I mentioned before that I wanted you to learn from Tianyu Group, and I've already squeezed you in. Tomorrow is their first meeting, so you have to hurry back. Don't delay work and embarrass me."
To put it bluntly, Xu Jianhong is just a medium-sized contractor, and a large group like Tianyu would definitely not look down on him. What they are interested in is Director Zhou's face.
Qin Ge agreed, and Xu Jianhong threw the car keys to him and let him go.
At ten in the morning, Shengxia was sitting at the school gate. The street was quiet, there was no one, and all the shops were closed. Shengxia had been waiting for a long time, so she sat on the steps of the fruit shop. There were many mosquitoes in the summer, and her legs were covered with bites.
Shengxia fell asleep in a daze. At around one o'clock in the morning, the sound of a car engine came from a distance. Not many people drove cars these days. Shengxia was awakened by the headlights and a car stopped in front of her.
"Qin Ge..."
Shengxia was a little sleepy, but she knew that Qin Ge had come. Before she opened her eyes to look carefully, Qin Ge picked her up from the ground.
"Why don't you listen? Didn't I tell you to go to the dormitory and wait for me?"
Shengxia rested her head on Qin Ge's chest, smelling his reassuring scent, and told the truth: "How could I sleep when I knew you were coming to see me? Besides, I miss you too and want to see you sooner."
