Chapter 43
The red oil pot was still boiling, with a few slices of mutton floating in the pot.
Jiang Chao can't eat spicy food, but suddenly he wanted to try what it tasted like.
He picked up the chopsticks that he had never used, picked up the floating lamb slices, and just as he put them into his mouth, he covered his lips because of the spiciness and couldn't help coughing a few times.
As soon as I swallowed a piece of mutton, my stomach soon felt hot and uncomfortable.
As the sun sets, Jiang Qiao takes a train to a neighboring coastal city.
After getting off the train, she wandered the streets dragging her suitcase and saw job openings posted at the doors of many shops on the roadside, for salesmen, customer service staff, dishwashers,
The prices given are all quite reasonable.
[You just got some unexpected money, why are you looking at these job postings?] 166 said sarcastically.
Jiang Qiao stared at the supermarket cashier recruitment notice for a while and said, "You don't understand. Living off your savings is not a good habit."
166 who was inexplicably taught a lesson: [………………]
What a fat thing it is that I actually think it makes sense.
The phone rang, and Jiang Qiao looked away from the job posting. A familiar name appeared on the phone screen.
Jiang Qiao stared at the two words for a long time without moving. When the phone was about to hang up automatically, she gently touched the green connect button.
She took a deep breath and said in a brisk voice: "Miss me~~"
Far away from the closed competition venue in City A, the participating students all live in dormitories, two people in a room.
Lu Xun stood on the balcony of the dormitory, looking at the moon outside the window, and heard the sweet voice of a girl.
The ending tone is like a little tail, which makes your heart soften.
Lu Xun unconsciously rubbed the tip of his ear which was burning. Relying on the fact that the girl couldn’t see him, he became much bolder and said sullenly, “Hmm…”
"I miss you..." Lu Xun said.
“……………………”
Her vision was a little blurry. Jiang Qiao raised her head and widened her eyes. After the sour feeling passed, she responded: "...I miss you, too."
People were hurrying along the street, shops were brightly lit, and vehicles were passing by. Jiang Qiao was in the middle of a busy city, but he could only hear low laughter from the other side.
"…Have you seen the other contestants?" Jiang Qiao said with a smile, "Those who can participate in the competition are all top students, so don't be nervous."
"Won't."
"Wow, our Mr. Lu is so amazing?"
"your."
Your Lu Xueba.
“………………You are so disgusting.”
Lu Xun said in a deep and pleasant voice: "I learned it from you."
“……………………Okay, okay, blame me.”
A few student-looking girls walked by, discussing something excitedly. Their voices were transmitted to Lu Xun through their phones.
Lu Xun frowned: "You are outside?"
Jiang Qiao lied, "I came out to buy something."
It was a very common thing, but Lu Xun didn't know why he felt a little flustered. He was always very smart and he quickly figured out what was wrong.
Lu Xun's voice was a little heavy: "You came out to buy something, why did the person next to you speak neither Mandarin nor A City dialect?"
“………………………………”
Jiang Qiao's heart tightened, but she was not a little girl who would confess anything if frightened, so she said naturally: "Maybe he is here for tourism. You know how prosperous our city A is."
“…It’s late. Go home quickly after shopping.”
Hearing Lu Xun's letter, Jiang Qiao agreed obediently: "Okay, I'll go back right away."
"Is the money enough?" Lu Xun paused for a second and said, "The prize money for this competition is quite high."
Jiang Qiao laughed out loud, but tears flowed down her cheeks.
How... could there be such a person.
Lu Xun was always so perceptive. She knew that if she continued, people might notice something was wrong, so she tried to make her voice sound normal: "Don't worry, it's enough. Have fun in the game. Okay, I have to go home quickly. Bye, bye..."
As soon as she hung up the phone, Jiang Qiao couldn't help sobbing. She didn't have any image when she cried, and her voice was so loud, like a ghost howling. Passers-by couldn't help but turn around to look at her.
[Can you please cry more beautifully?] 166 was startled by her pheasant-like cry. It couldn't believe how someone with such a pretty face could cry so ugly.
Doesn't this person know how to be ashamed? !
[Wuwuwu… I’m already crying, how can I still maintain my image? Wuwuwu] Jiang Qiao wiped his face vigorously, indignantly: [These days, even crying means you have to serve in the US military?! I don’t accept it! I don’t accept it!!! Wuwuwu…]
166: […………Okay……I was wrong, I was wrong]
It admitted its mistake exhaustedly, coaxed Jiang Qiao, and said that it would never be sarcastic to her again.
Jiang Qiao sobbed: [Really?]
Is this what it feels like to be cheated?
[…………real.]
Jiang Qiao took out some toilet paper from her pocket and wiped her red eyes, making them even redder. She looked like she had been beaten. She said, "I will reluctantly believe you for once."
Believe it or not, the little bit of affection 166 had for her disappeared without a trace.
Lu Xun, standing on the balcony, stared at the hung-up phone, his brows furrowed more and more.
Someone in the dormitory called him. It was his roommate from the same school: "Xueba, can you explain this question to me?"
After shouting a few times and hearing no response, the roommate walked to the balcony in confusion and saw Lu Xun staring at his phone.
Oh, I'm in a daze.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, then looked over again. Wow, he was really in a daze.
What was he thinking about that made him so absent-minded?
Lu Xun's reputation as a learning machine spread widely in the school.
At this moment, he discovered that there were things that could attract this top student Lu more than studying.
Lu Xun also saw him, put away his phone, and returned to his calm demeanor: "What's up?"
"I don't know how to solve a problem, and I want you to help me solve it..."
Lu Xun nodded, and the man went to get the test paper in ecstasy.
Lu Xun subconsciously looked at the moon outside the window again, suppressing the panic that suddenly surged in his heart.
Maybe... I was really a little nervous, he thought, after all, it was a world-class competition.
Jiang Qiao ultimately did not go to that supermarket to work as a cashier. The reason was simple: she was too beautiful and was always harassed by greasy customers.
This city is located on the coast and has a developed tourism industry. There are many cheap homestays in the surrounding old town, which can be rented for half a month for 500 yuan.
Jiang Qiao happily paid the money and a deposit of 200 yuan. She spent the whole morning putting her things in order and ate some bread. Now she had less than 100 yuan left.
Of course, if you add in the remittances from Jiang Chao, it will be enough for her to have food and clothing for the rest of her life.
But Jiang Qiao didn't intend to use it.
She is not very noble, but she is not so despicable as to let others buy her feelings with money.
Since Jiang Chao wanted to be a sucker, she would not let him go. She would donate the money on behalf of Jiang Chao as a way to accumulate virtue for Jiang Chao.
Jiang Qiao felt that he was really righteous.
166: Who can understand? Her crying is so ugly.
