Chapter 21 Go to the woods or the guesthouse, embarrassing
"If you want to advance the progress, then I will pretend that I succeeded. Do you want to go to the guesthouse or the grove today?"
"The guesthouse is more secluded. Let's go to the one farthest away. We won't run into your relatives or friends."
Quan Ruifeng said lightly.
A heartless man like him would never chase after Xia Xian. He must have some ulterior motive. He must have gotten Xia Xian and then wanted to kick her away and be with someone else.
Otherwise, wouldn’t all his previous pursuits be in vain?
"Then let's go to the guest house."
The grove was an even more ambiguous place. Xia Xian's face started to feel hot just thinking about it.
However, it was not a good thing for her to be alone with Quan Ruifeng in a room in the guesthouse. If her family knew about it, they would really beat her to death.
In this era, there was still a strict separation between men and women. Unlike in later times, if you were caught being a hooligan, it was not impossible that you would be sentenced to death.
"good."
Quan Ruifeng nodded, immediately went to get a certificate, and took Xia Xian to the farthest and most remote guesthouse.
It was obviously just acting and they wouldn't really do it, but the two of them were very silent the whole way, and an unknown awkward atmosphere flowed between them...
Xia Xian glanced at Quan Ruifeng who was walking side by side with her. She only reached his chin. His shoulders were twice as wide as hers. She felt very safe standing with him.
Not knowing what she was thinking of, she quickly looked away, her earlobes turning red.
Quan Ruifeng didn't dare to look at Xia Xian. He looked at the road ahead seriously and asked coldly.
"We should be there soon, are you tired?"
Because they were in a hurry to leave, both of them forgot to ride their bicycles. After sitting on the bus for a while, they had to get off and walk for about half an hour.
"I'm not tired. I can still hold on."
Xia Xian answered quickly, and then she fell silent again. This answer didn't seem right, as if she had said it in bed...
"Um."
Quan Ruifeng didn't know what to say, so he just responded casually, keeping his eyes fixed forward. But if you look closely, you can see that his whole body is tense, his back is straighter than before, and he keeps one posture unchanged, not even daring to turn his head.
Quan Ruifeng frowned and pursed his thin lips. He didn't understand what was wrong with him. He was obviously just acting and they were not going to really go to bed. It was nothing to make a little sacrifice for the sake of solving the case. What's more, they were just in the same room, which was not a sacrifice. Why did he feel this way?
His heartbeat was also much faster than usual. Even if Seahawk was standing in front of him, he would be much calmer than he is now.
The two arrived at the guesthouse in silence and went in.
The room in the guesthouse was very small. It could only accommodate a small bed, a small table and a chair. Apart from that, there was almost no empty space.
Looking at the bed, the two of them simultaneously withdrew their gazes and looked elsewhere as if nothing had happened.
"You sit, sit... on the bed, I'll sit on the chair."
Xia Xian stuttered, she didn't want to sit on the bed, so she sat on the chair first. Quan Ruifeng had no choice but to sit on the bed.
The two of them had their backs to each other but didn't speak. The atmosphere became more and more awkward, and even someone as aloof as Quan Ruifeng couldn't stand it.
He coughed and cleared his throat, trying to break the silence, and asked in a low voice.
"What do you want to do when you go to Jing City?"
Although it was he who suggested that she leave this place of trouble, he didn't expect Xia Xian to agree so quickly. After all, a girl like her has a strong attachment to her parents and the place where she grew up, and she doesn't dare to go to a strange place easily, let alone alone.
Thinking of this, Quan Ruifeng also thought that if they really caught Haiying, he would take better care of Xia Xian when she arrived in Beijing, so that she would not be left alone and have a hard life in Beijing.
"I don't know. I'll try my best to get a job and make plans after I settle down."
Now that the news of resuming the college entrance examination has not been revealed, she naturally cannot tell Quan Ruifeng that she wants to take the college entrance examination.
Xia Xian turned her head. If the two of them wanted to talk, they naturally could not turn their backs to each other anymore, as if their faces were too shameful to be seen by others.
"What kind of job do you want? I can arrange a simple job for you."
Quan Ruifeng raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
It was originally just a bait, a short-term cooperation, a transaction, an exchange. Quan Ruifeng guaranteed her safety and gave her what she wanted. He would not do anything more. However, after getting along with Xia Xian these few days, he felt that this girl was quite good, smart and interesting. For some reason, he didn't want her to suffer grievances outside, so he proposed to arrange a job for her without thinking.
If I tell others that I am just a bait and that if they cooperate with him, they can get a Beijing residence, a job and a house, I am afraid everyone will trample on the doorstep of Quan Ruifeng's house. Such a great thing will make everyone regret why it didn't happen to them!
"No, no, it's too much trouble. You've given me enough. I will rely on myself from now on."
Xia Xian shook her head and refused Quan Ruifeng's help. He had solved two difficult issues, namely household registration and housing. She couldn't be too greedy and take advantage of his kindness.
And work was just an excuse, she had real things to do.
"It's okay to trouble others a little bit, and you helped me, too. You really gave a lot."
Quan Ruifeng admired her independence and saw that she was unwilling to work. She had just arrived in Beijing and must have somewhere to spend money, so he said.
"How about I give you some money? Or you can just consider it as a loan and pay it back when you find a job. You can't get by without money."
"You don't need to feel any burden. You deserve this. You have done a great job."
Quan Ruifeng praised her generously. If his relatives and friends in Beijing saw him acting so indifferent, they would probably be shocked.
How terrible! Would the cold and sarcastic king ever speak nicely one day?
"Well····"
Xia Xian was about to refuse, but then she thought that she only had gold on hand. If she sold it now and exchanged it for cash, it would not be cost-effective. Gold will become more and more expensive in the future. She would have to wait at least a few years. Once the market is opened, the price of gold will also rise.
She didn't borrow much, just a hundred yuan, which, together with the money she had on hand, was basically enough to support her for a while. If she was admitted to university, she would receive a subsidy. If not, she would find a job and would not have to worry about money at that time.
She also has a temporary job here, which she can sell for some money.
"wait for me····"
Xia Xian had just opened her mouth when there was a sudden noise from next door, as if she could no longer hold it in.
"Hate~~~"
The voice was charming, along with a man's panting.
Xia Xian naturally knew what was going on. She couldn't help but cover her face and couldn't continue the conversation. Her face turned red with embarrassment.
What were they talking about just now! Talking about money in the guesthouse, people who didn't know would think she was some special service worker!
Quan Ruifeng couldn't help but close his eyes. What the hell was going on? How could this happen in broad daylight?
If I had known this earlier, I would have gone to the woods!
