That night, my uncle cooked dinner. I don't know what my uncle and Yanling talked about, but before going to bed, Yanling told Jiang Xin that my aunt would be away from home for a while and that Jiang Xin would be in charge of all the household affairs from now on.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xin shyly buried her face in his chest, and said with a slight smile, "Okay, I will definitely take good care of you and give you a warm home."
Yan Ling pinched her cheek with satisfaction. This was the Jiang Xin he knew, who was always obedient to him and never opposed any of his decisions.
Jiang Xin inside her body also heard Yan Ling's words. Whenever they did that, she would shut down her senses, afraid that her pure soul would be corrupted by them.
But Yanling's words made her jump up in anger: "Fool, don't believe him! He only said he'd make you work like a slave, but he hasn't given you a single penny! You're using my money now!"
Jiang Xin had given up hope on the person who had taken over her body. How could there be such an idiot in the world? The man's casual remark made her fall head over heels for him.
Jiang Xin inside her body completely forgot that during the months she lived with Yan Ling, Yan Ling didn't contribute a single penny and even made her wash his dirty clothes every day.
The next day, just as dawn broke, Yanling nudged Jiang Xin, who was still fast asleep beside him. Seeing her blank expression, Yanling frowned as usual and then said in a low voice, "Get up and make breakfast. My uncle likes to drink porridge in the morning, so remember to cook some plain porridge for him. I'm going to sleep a little longer."
After saying that, he ignored Jiang Xin, turned over, and went back to sleep.
Jiang Xin slowly got up as if sleepwalking, and only when her hands touched the cold tap water did she gradually regain consciousness.
Then, thinking about being able to cook for Yanling herself, Jiang Xin smiled and felt a surge of happiness.
When Jiang Xin finished making breakfast, her uncle and Yan Ling got up one after another. When they saw white porridge, boiled eggs, and fried dough sticks bought from outside on the table, her uncle's face showed a relieved smile.
Before leaving, Yanling told Jiang Xin that he and his uncle wouldn't be back for lunch and that she should just prepare dinner. He also told her to tidy up the house.
Jiang Xin was about to say she couldn't when Yan Ling kissed her forehead. Jiang Xin swallowed her words, her eyes shining as she stared at him and said, "Okay."
From that day on, Jiang Xin began her career as a nanny in Yan Ling's household.
For the past month, Jiang Xin has not gone to work. Her happiest moment each day is when Yan Ling praises her cooking. Yan Ling has become accustomed to Jiang Xin kneeling in front of him to polish his shoes before he leaves the house, and he has also become accustomed to ordering her around like a maid.
The landlord called Jiang Xin, urging her to pay the rent. Jiang Xin was stunned. When did she rent a place?
When Jiang Xin arrived at the address given by the landlord, she was shocked to find that this was the house that she had found strange that day.
But why does the landlord insist that he rented it himself?
When the landlord saw that she didn't believe him, he showed her the rental contract and the WeChat chat history. Jiang Xin finally believed that she had rented the apartment.
But I clearly have no memory of renting a place, so why is that?
Jiang Xin told the landlord she was not renting anymore, and then asked the landlord to open the door so she could pack her things.
Jiang Xin woke up that day and left immediately without taking the key.
She originally wanted to throw away the clothes in the rented room, but thinking about the dwindling savings in her bank account, Jiang Xin decided to take them all back to Yanling's house.
To this day, neither of the two Jiang Xins has realized the subtlety of the situation: why this Jiang Xin knows her bank card password, and why her growth trajectory overlaps with their own.
