Chapter 65
More than two months passed in a flash.
Lin Jiu earned two hard-earned sums of money, not much, a total of six thousand.
She also got her driver's license.
Although internship and driver's license test took up a lot of her time.
But she still managed to find some time to spend with Chen Miao. On weekends, they would go out for dinner, watch a movie, or go shopping.
Even though they have been dating for a long time, Lin Jiu still feels like they are in the honeymoon period.
There were always a few nights every week when Chen Miao liked to pester her, making it difficult for her to handle him and causing her to wake up late in the morning.
Fortunately, he still had some sense and was able to take her to the company on time and not be late.
The summer vacation was tiring but fulfilling.
Before school started, she went back home and discussed tuition and living expenses.
She earned some money, so she had a reason to pay her own tuition.
Moreover, in her sophomore year, she received a national scholarship and a school scholarship totaling about 10,000 yuan, which was enough to cover her living expenses.
After telling Yang Bing about it, she looked her up and down silently and said, "You have grown up."
Lin Jiu had no intention of using this to gain Yang Bing's praise. He was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and replied indifferently, "It's my duty."
To be honest.
Lin Jiu felt that his family was poor, but not destitute.
She didn't know exactly how much her father's compensation was, but she knew that if she used it frugally, it should be able to last for many years.
She didn't take out any student loans.
She did not apply for subsidies for poor students because she did not meet the requirements at all.
Now.
She went to college and was able to earn her own money.
Less burden on the family.
Everything seems to be moving in the right direction.
After staying at home for two full days, Lin Jiu quickly returned to school.
Attend classes and live according to a normal pace.
-
There is no National Day holiday yet.
Wen Min couldn't wait to send the holiday schedule to Lin Jiu to see if she had any objections.
The schedule only includes arrangements for the first three days.
As for the other days, they are still to be determined.
Lin Jiu spent five minutes browsing and found a lot of activities.
Watch the flag-raising ceremony, go to museums, amusement parks, visit Jinghe University, visit parks, eat special roast duck, etc., combining movement and stillness.
She replied to Wen Min: I have no objection.
Beautiful woman: Okay, that’s settled.
Jiubujiu: Okay.
During dinner that night, Lin Jiu and Chen Miao discussed this matter and finalized the time to go to Jinghe City.
The night before the National Day holiday.
Lin Jiu and Chen Miao arrived in Jinghe by plane.
Although he was sitting in first class, the fatigue caused by the long journey made Lin Jiu completely unable to appreciate this strange city.
I don't want to go anywhere.
I'm not even interested in watching the night view.
After getting in the car, Lin Jiu leaned on Chen Miao the whole time, with his eyes closed and not saying a word, looking no different from being asleep.
After arriving at the hotel.
Lin Jiu gave full authority to Chen Miao to pack the luggage.
She took a quick shower, put on a soft, loose pink nightgown, and lay motionless on the bed in a surrendered posture for several minutes.
Ding Dong, the phone screen lit up.
Lin Jiu struggled to open his eyes and stared at the air unfocused for a few seconds.
After waking up, she adjusted her posture and lay down in the middle of the bed. Then, she picked up the nearby phone and slowly read the message.
Beautiful lady: Have we arrived at the hotel?
Lin Jiu held the phone in one hand and typed with the other, and immediately replied: I'm here, see you tomorrow.
Originally, Wen Min was planning to pick him up at the airport, but Lin Jiu persuaded him to stop, saying that it was too late and there was no need to make a trip.
Beautiful lady: See you at this location tomorrow morning at nine o'clock.
Afterwards, Wen Min directly sent her the location.
Jiubujiu: Got it.
Lin Jiu had just finished replying and put her phone down when the mattress next to her suddenly sank and a heavy object fell.
“…”
Lin Jiu crossed his hands under his head and looked sideways at a heavy object.
He was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking like he had just taken a shower, with a gray dry towel draped over his shoulders and wet hair on his head slowly gathering and dripping down.
"It's time to blow-dry your hair." Lin Jiu said.
"I should be the one telling you this." Chen Miao patted her lower back. "Get up. Blow your hair and then lie down."
Lin Jiu pursed her lips, buried her head in her arms, and muttered, "I don't want to move." Just as she finished this, she was turned over manually.
Chen Miao picked her up and put her on the sofa in the room in a few steps.
Everyone sat on the sofa.
Lin Jiu simply lay on the back of the sofa and took a nap with her eyes closed. After her hair was blow-dried, she was carried to the bed.
She crawled into the quilt, took her hands out, and laid her head on the pillow.
Just about to close my eyes and go to sleep.
Chen Miao came up from the other side of the bed and lay down beside her.
Lin Jiu tilted his head, clutching the quilt with both hands and looked at him, "Isn't there another bed? Why are you still squeezing in with me?"
"How can you be so heartless?" Chen Miao pressed his elbows on the pillow and supported his head with one hand. "I've served you for so long, and now I'm lying next to you and you still dislike me."
“…”
Lin Jiu moved closer to him, grabbed his clothes on his chest, and kissed him on the lips, "That's not what I meant."
The warmth between the lips disappears at the touch of a finger.
Chen Miao raised his eyebrows slightly, staring at her rosy and plump lips, and asked, "What do you mean?"
Lin Jiufu lay back on the pillow, which was dented by gravity.
She said, "We both have two rooms, so it's not good for us to live together like this."
"It's not the first time we've slept like this." Chen Miao said, "Do we have to do something to sleep together?"
During the summer vacation, they all slept separately.
Lin Jiu would only reluctantly agree to sleep in his arms unless he was too tired from his tossing and turning.
If I refuse to sleep with him now, he might make a fuss.
"You are such a..."
Lin Jiugang said a few words, then closed his mouth angrily and swallowed the word "annoying".
"What's wrong with me?" he asked deliberately.
Lin Jiu didn't want to see him, so he turned around and said in one breath, "...Nothing."
Then, a broad male body pressed against her back. Even through her clothes, she could feel his heat.
The next second, her hair was lifted up and her hands gathered it into a ball. Numerous kisses followed, landing behind her ears, on her neck, and on her face.
"Chen Miao." Lin Jiu held down his hands that were running around and called him urgently.
"Yeah." Chen Miao responded in a low voice.
He put his arm around her waist and turned her to face him. Then, he unbuttoned her dress with ease and skill, throwing the cumbersome white fabric behind him.
The two faced each other at close range, their breaths blending.
He leaned against her forehead, looked at her flushed face, and coaxed her, "If you want to say anything, wait until I finish kissing you."
After saying that, he blocked her lips and rolled and grinded them repeatedly.
A long while.
After Lin Jiu's breathing calmed down, he regained some of his sanity and asked him softly, "Are you really not going to live with your grandparents?"
This time, Chen Miao came to Jinghe not just to accompany her.
His grandfather was going to celebrate his 80th birthday, and his parents were coming over, and his main purpose was to come and celebrate the birthday.
His parents live in his grandfather's house.
And he...lives here, in his own hotel.
"My parents are there, it's quite lively." Chen Miao snuggled into her arms, took his hands out of the quilt and placed them on her. "Besides, I'll be there with you for the next few days. My grandparents will only be happy and won't say anything."
Lin Jiu stared at the top of his head and rolled his eyes silently.
Chen Miao guessed what she meant and said, "If you're worried about your image in my grandparents' eyes... don't worry, my parents are very tight-lipped and won't say anything. As for my parents, they already knew about us, so you don't have to worry too much."
“…Alright.”
Seeing that the person in his arms had no intention of moving, Lin Jiu gritted his teeth and said, "Are you going to sleep like this forever?"
Chen Miao rubbed it randomly and said vaguely: "I'll calm down first."
In order to avoid greater losses, Lin Jiu put his hand on his head, inserted his fingers into his fluffy hair, and let him go.
At least, he is intentionally controlling it now.
If he had intended to do it, she wouldn't be chatting with him like this.
-
The next day.
Lin Jiu and Wen Min met at the designated location.
The first thing they did when they met was to find a nail salon.
Chatting across the air while getting your nails done.
They haven't seen each other for a long time, and there are so many topics to talk about.
Talk about whatever comes to mind.
We can discuss nail designs for ten minutes.
Lin Jiu has an active mind, and sometimes he would suddenly associate one topic with another.
Therefore, their conversation topics always change quickly.
Sometimes the topic changes every three to five minutes.
After getting their manicure done, Lin Jiu and Wen Min had a special roast duck meal and then started a two-day rampage mode.
The two of them visited all the famous tourist attractions in Jinghe City, ate everywhere they went, and had a great time.
It just has a bit of a strong aftereffect.
Day 3.
Lin Jiu's legs were sore and swollen, and most importantly, her heels were broken, so she couldn't sustain high-intensity exercise.
If you stand or walk for too long, you will feel a tingling pain at the bottom of your feet.
So she surrendered first.
Wen Min was originally ready to call a halt.
Seeing this, he followed the donkey down the hill.
In the morning, the two went to the amusement park and played two relaxing projects - the carousel and the Ferris wheel, and then stopped.
Had lunch.
Lin Jiu took Wen Min to the nearest massage parlor.
They lay in a small box and received a full-body massage for nearly two hours, and finally came back to life.
Wen Min lowered his head to put on his shoes and asked, "What are we going to do next?"
Lin Jiu stood up first, picked up the mobile phone on the table and checked the time. It was not yet five o'clock.
She stroked her chin and thought for a few seconds, then replied, "Wait a minute, let's go to the sauna."
Just go.
Half an hour later.
A dimly lit sauna room.
Lin Jiu and Wen Min were wearing the same shorts and shirts, facing the gate, sitting cross-legged on the same level.
The two of them chose the yoga meditation posture at the same time.
But it's slightly different.
Lin Jiu chose the half-lotus sitting posture, and Wen Min chose the simple sitting posture.
After steaming for a few minutes, Wen Min's head was already covered with sweat, feeling very comfortable.
She sighed: "This is what life is like. It's so comfortable."
"It's really comfortable." Lin Jiu said, "My pores are all stretched out, and I feel like I've lost ten pounds."
Wen Min: "I think we both lost a few pounds. The amount of exercise we did over the past two days was completely excessive."
"But..." Lin Jiu reminded, "We also replenished a lot of energy during this period."
Neither she nor Wen Min is the type to deliberately control their weight. When they encounter delicious food, they basically don't control their appetite.
Wen Min: "...It's boring if I just say it out loud. I should at least lie to myself."
Lin Jiu couldn't help but smile, but said nothing.
A few minutes later.
Wen Min suddenly asked Lin Jiu: "Do you still remember what I wore today? What do you think of my outfit?"
Lin Jiu recalled something in his mind.
Wen Min wore a blue shirt and white wide-leg pants. The bright colors, coupled with her bright and flamboyant looks, made her turn heads when she walked on the street.
"I still remember. It looked very nice on you." Lin Jiu asked, "Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"
When Wen Min heard Lin Jiu say this, she opened her eyes happily.
She shifted her body, turned her sitting position to face Lin Jiu, who still had his eyes closed, and said, "I'm a junior now, and next year I have to think about internships and finding a job. My parents asked me what my future plans were during the summer vacation. I thought about it for a long time and decided to make something."
This is a serious topic.
Lin Jiu slowly opened his eyes and adjusted his posture.
She looked at Wen Min and said, "I remember you said you wanted to open a clothing store and be the boss."
Wen Min nodded and said, "I think so now."
She lowered her head and counted her fingers, her blue nail polish looking exceptionally bright.
She said, "Ever since I was little, I've loved beautiful things, especially beautiful clothes. Seeing them makes me happy. I'm thinking of opening an online store and selling beautiful clothes to the world. What do you think?"
Wen Min studied e-commerce, and Lin Jiu thought it was a good match, so he said, "That's a great idea."
Wen Min couldn't help but raise his voice after receiving the affirmation: "Really?"
Lin Jiu nodded and said "hmm".
Wen Min spoke quickly, expressing her own concerns: "But my parents think it's unreliable and too risky. They're preparing to take the civil service exam and get a stable job."
Lin Jiu pursed his lips in thought and asked, "Their concerns are not wrong. Opening an online store is not that simple. It can be considered a business. If business is not good, it is possible that the income will not be enough to cover the expenses."
"You're such a fence-sitter." Wen Min snorted, "That's not what you just said."
Lin Jiu saw her turn her head away with an angry look on her face, and then he smiled instantly, "Your parents are doing this for your own good. From their perspective, it's indeed unstable. But..."
After a few seconds of pause, Lin Jiu continued, "Your future is your own. If you know the worst-case scenario and still want to do it, then go for it. You're still young and have the opportunity to make mistakes. If it doesn't work out, you can just cut your losses."
Wen Min's expression changed immediately after hearing this. She pulled Lin Jiu's arm affectionately and said, "You are the best."
Lin Jiu asked her: "Have you told Ji Xin?"
Wen Min pouted, "Yes. He analyzed my personality and felt that I couldn't handle this kind of hardship. He predicted that I would most likely fail."
"That's it?"
“He also said that if he was there to help me, I would have a chance of success,” Win Myint said. “He would provide a range of support, such as funding and manpower.”
Lin Jiu affirmed this behavior and asked in confusion: "Isn't this great? Why are you angry?"
Wen Min slapped her thigh. "It makes me angry when I see him flattering himself." She emphasized, "And he actually dared to question me!"
Lin Jiu suggested: "Then you should beat him up."
Wen Min raised his eyebrows and said proudly, "I've already dealt with him."
Lin Jiu looked at her a few times and smiled without saying anything.
More than ten seconds later.
Wen Min asked Lin Jiu: "Have you decided what you want to do in the future?"
"I haven't decided yet."
Lin Jiu pursed his lips, clasped his hands around his knees, and whispered, "I used to dream of working in a glamorous office building. I spent two months as an intern during the summer vacation, but I found it was just so-so. I don't like that kind of atmosphere at all. The pace is too fast."
Thinking back to his miserable summer vacation, Lin Jiu began to complain: "The workstation is too small, it's hard to even sleep. There are too few bathroom stalls, and I have to wait over ten minutes to use the restroom. My boss is very strict and demanding. I've revised things thousands of times, and in the end, they only approved the versions that were several versions earlier than mine!"
"......" Wen Min rarely saw Lin Jiu complaining like this, and could feel that she was very resentful.
Lin Jiu sighed and continued to himself, "However, if someone with this major engages in writing work, we're bound to have to revise manuscripts. Just thinking about it makes my head explode... I shouldn't have chosen this major earlier."
Wen Min had never heard Lin Jiu mention this before, so she was a little curious: "Why did you choose this major?"
"..." Lin Jiu said, "I've been studying for so many years and I hope university life will be easier, so I chose this major."
The reason why she chose Chinese language and literature was that she was deeply influenced by her high school Chinese teacher.
The Chinese teacher always likes to share his university life in class. He said that the university library is huge and has a rich collection of books, and he often goes there to read various novels. It sounds very relaxing.
Lin Jiu had been exposed to very few professions since childhood and had no specific concept of what they were like. After taking the college entrance examination, he still didn't understand what he liked, so he chose it.
result......
The book I wanted to read turned out to be an obscure literary work.
...How can this not be considered a novel!
After studying for a year, I found that the future career prospects of this major are even darker, with no sign of hope at all.
At that time, Lin Jiu's heart sank.
Wen Min looked at Lin Jiu, whose face was ashen, and consoled him, saying, "You've already read it, there's no way you can regret it."
“…”
"If you don't want to work for a private company, why not..." Wen Min thought of something, his eyes lit up, and he suggested to Lin Jiu, "Why don't you become a teacher, or take the civil service exam? If that doesn't work out, then you can go to graduate school to buffer your time."
teacher?
Exclude directly.
Lin Jiu thought that since he was not a patient person, it would be difficult for him to educate students well.
Civil servant?
It's a good career.
Postgraduate study?
After finishing your studies you still have to face the problem of finding employment.
Lin Jiu frowned and thought for a while, then said, "I'll think about it carefully. There's still plenty of time."
Five minutes later.
The room was as hot as a steamer and it was impossible to stay there any longer.
Wen Min was so hot that he opened the door immediately, leaving behind a tall and thin figure. "I can't stand it anymore. I need to go out and cool down first."
Lin Jiu's face was also covered in sweat.
She wiped her face with a towel, stayed for less than a minute, and then ran out.
After going out, the cool air relieved the heat in my body and I felt very comfortable.
At this time, Wen Min was sitting on the bench at the door playing with his mobile phone.
She walked over to Wen Min and asked, "Would you like to get something to eat?"
Wen Min glanced at the time on his phone and immediately agreed: "Okay, it's time for dinner."
The two of them hit it off and went straight to the buffet restaurant.
While eating fried rice, Wen Min, who was sitting opposite Lin Jiu, asked, "What are your plans for tomorrow?"
Lin Jiu thought for a moment and said, "Lie down in the hotel for a day and rest. You should rest too. You can have dinner with Ji Xin."
Wen Min ate a strawberry and said, "That's fine."
Looking at Lin Jiu eating with a spoon, Wen Min asked again, "Where has Chen Miao been? I only knew he came, but I haven't seen him in the past few days."
"His grandfather's birthday is today, and there's a lot of preparation to do. It'll take several days." Lin Jiu took a sip of coconut milk. "Besides, he has a lot of relatives and friends here, so he needs to visit them."
Wen Min only noticed the first sentence and was surprised: "Isn't a birthday just a meal? Why does it take so long to prepare?"
Lin Jiu: "I heard from him that this year we're going to have a big event. A lot of people will come."
