Chapter 124: Jealousy
Ai Xiaoxia felt comfortable talking to Ma Jiahong, without all the beating around the bush, and continued, "It's never too late to make friends. The main thing is to get along. To be honest, we might move out next year. I like a bigger place with a small yard to grow flowers and plants."
"Then I can help you when you are looking for a house. I am familiar with the city." Ma Jiahong is a native city dweller and is indeed familiar with the city, so what he said is true.
"Well, I won't be polite to my sister-in-law then." Ai Xiaoxia agreed.
"Well, let's not follow the men's arguments. From now on, you can call me sister. Although I'm not a rich person, my family has lived in this city for so many years. We have relatives and friends here, so I still have some connections. If you have any problems, just tell me." Ma Jiahong said, patting her chest.
Ai Xiaoxia admired Ma Jiahong's straightforward personality. She smiled and said, "Sister Jiahong, please take care of me in the future."
Ma Jiahong smiled and said, "Okay, your personality is just right for me. You don't want to do those complicated things."
As they talked, they started chatting. However, she didn't stay there for too long. She had to go back to her parents' home for dinner. She was not sure whether to come back to live there. Her children were there and it was close to work, so she liked to live there more.
After seeing Ma Jiahong off, Ai Xiaoxia started cooking.
When Lu Jingshen came back, Ai Xiaoxia told him about Ma Jiahong. She also felt that one really had to get to know this person by getting to know him. She had thought that Ma Jiahong would be a little arrogant because of her well-off family, but she didn't expect that this person was quite down-to-earth.
Just after dinner in the evening, the phone rang. Lu Jingshen answered it. As soon as he picked up the phone, his face was not very good. He said to Ai Xiaoxia, "It's your phone."
Why does Ai Xiaoxia feel like the air around her is a little cold? Is there something wrong with her phone?
She hurried over and picked up the phone: "Hello, I'm Ai Xiaoxia."
Mu Chen's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Xiao Xia, it's me, Mu Chen. I want to ask if you have time tomorrow afternoon."
Ai Xiaoxia thought about it and found nothing wrong, so she asked, "If you have time, do you have something to talk to me about?"
"It's nothing serious. My friend just brought back some fruit from the south. I happen to be going to the barbecue restaurant tomorrow afternoon to do some work, so I wanted to send some over to you."
"I appreciate the kindness, but I don't need the gifts. I'll save the fresh ones for the elderly and children at home."
"It's okay, there are plenty. As agreed, I'll be there this afternoon. If you're polite again, you'll be treating me as a friend."
Having said that, Ai Xiaoxia couldn't refuse anymore: "Thank you."
"Okay, see you tomorrow." Mu Chen said goodbye happily.
"See you tomorrow."
Ai Xiaoxia put down the phone and without thinking too much, she told Lu Jingshen about what Mu Chen had called. "It was Mu Chen from the design institute. He said his friend brought him some southern fruits. He's going to do some work near our store tomorrow, so he sent some to me."
Lu Jingshen also heard Ai Xiaoxia refuse, but his man's intuition also told him that Mu Chen cared too much about Ai Xiaoxia.
He walked up to Ai Xiaoxia, bent down slightly, and looked at her closely: "Little girl, if a man is too attentive to a woman, it's definitely not just about making friends."
Ai Xiaoxia felt oppressed by Lu Jingshen's aura. There was a table behind her, so she couldn't hide. She looked at Lu Jingshen pitifully: "I did help him a lot. Maybe he is just thanking me..."
"Maybe? Then I think he might like you, what should I do?" Lu Jingshen's voice was a little low and a little jealous.
The two of them were so close that Ai Xiaoxia could feel Lu Jingshen's breath. She knew that this guy was jealous, and she suddenly felt a little happy in her heart, because this proved that he cared about her very much.
But if you put yourself in his shoes, you would also feel uncomfortable if he met another girl alone.
She had never thought about these things before, but now she knows that she didn't think enough about it. In fact, it should be said that she didn't think about these things at all.
But she quickly assured Lu Jingshen, "You are the only one in my heart. If Muchen has any thoughts about me, I promise not to have any contact with him in the future. If we must have contact, I will take you with me. After all, he works in the design institute. We..."
"I have an acquaintance in the design institute. Even if you need help, you don't need to go to him." Lu Jingshen felt very sad when he thought of the tone of Mu Chen's voice when he called Ai Xiaoxia just now.
Ai Xiaoxia looked at Lu Jingshen and smiled: "So you are a jealous person."
Lu Jingshen put his hands on Ai Xiaoxia's shoulders and looked down at her: "I am a jealous person, so don't let me be jealous in the future."
After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed Ai Xiaoxia on the lips, with a hint of predatoryness in the kiss.
He didn't raise his head until Ai Xiaoxia was almost unsteady from the kiss. Then he held Ai Xiaoxia in his arms and gently rubbed his chin against the top of Ai Xiaoxia's head: "Little girl, don't scare me."
Ai Xiaoxia hugged Lu Jingshen's waist tightly: "I know, Lu Jingshen, I have chosen you for my whole life and I will never leave you."
They hugged each other and whispered sweet words.
That night, although the two were in different rooms, they were thinking of each other in their hearts, and their hearts became closer.
The next day, not long after Lu Jingshen left for work, Ai Xiaoxia received a call from her sister Ai Xiaoping, saying that her mother Meng Qiuju had just left and went to the city.
After listening to this, Ai Xiaoxia said a few words to her sister, hung up the phone, changed her clothes, and rushed to the station.
She had to arrive early, wait for Meng Qiuju to come out at the station, and then follow her to see where she was going and who she was meeting. This was extremely important to her. It was the best clue to find out her life experience.
Of course, she also disguised herself by wearing a hat and covering her face with a scarf. In any case, she must not let Meng Qiuju see her.
After waiting for more than half an hour, she finally saw Meng Qiuju. Fortunately, there was only one exit of the bus station, so she could definitely get there. She hurriedly followed her.
Meng Qiuju got out of the station, but she was still not familiar with the city. She looked around for a while before walking towards a public telephone stall.
After making the call, she walked forward a little further and came to an intersection, where she stopped a rickshaw. In this city, people usually call this type of rickshaw a donkey. Meng Qiuju got on the donkey and left.
Ai Xiaoxia also quickly stopped a donkey and followed. After walking for about twenty minutes, they arrived at the gate of the Forestry Bureau’s staff building. The donkey Meng Qiuju was riding stopped.
Seeing Meng Qiuju get off the car, Ai Xiaoxia didn't follow too closely. She also got off the car, paid the fare, and walked along the road towards Meng Qiuju.
Meng Qiuju did not enter the courtyard, but looked inside at the door.
Ai Xiaoxia was not far away, pretending to squat down to tie her shoelaces, observing Meng Qiuju.
After a while, a woman wearing a hat, a mask and a dark green cotton-padded jacket came out of the yard and ran towards her.
When the two met, they first observed the surroundings, and then walked behind a big tree beside the courtyard wall to talk.
