Chapter 6 Stay
"But there are no stairs here. If you want to go up, you have to climb a ladder." Bai Yuqing walked to the ladder and held it, "You go up first."
Jiang Jinyue's eyes were cold and gloomy. "No need for help."
She climbed up, steady and fast.
When she was a child, her family built a playground for her with a variety of unique amusement facilities.
The child likes to climb up and down, so we built various tree houses for her and set up various ladders.
She has also participated in the Spartan Junior program, and likes rock climbing on weekdays. She is good at various sports.
So climbing the ladder was a piece of cake for her.
Bai Yuqing followed closely behind and pushed open the door to the second floor.
The room was not high, and it would seem a bit cramped if Bai Yuqing came in, so he stood at the door and only let Jiang Jinyue in.
What is surprising is that there is a piece of glass on the roof, and you can see the blue sky through the glass.
It was a very small bed, but clean and tidy.
The four-piece suit was pure white, and the fabric wasn't very comfortable, but it was soft and fluffy.
"Did you also get this from the closed-down hotel across from your school?"
Bai Yuqing smiled, no longer feeling the awkwardness and slight confusion he felt when introducing the showerhead today. "Yes."
"Yeah." Jiang Jinyue responded lightly.
I repeated his name in my mind: "Bai Yuqing..."
It is indeed clean and tidy, just like the name.
In this terrible environment, he is thriving and trying every possible way to improve his life.
Finally, Jiang Jinyue set his eyes on the desk and noticed that there were books on the desk, a pile of textbooks.
She was a person who didn't like to meddle in other people's affairs, but at this moment she couldn't help but ask, "Are you still in school?"
“I’ve already graduated.”
"Oh, so where are you going to college?"
"I didn't take the exam. My dad was sick, so I came back to take care of him and missed the college entrance exam."
"oh."
Bai Yuqing mentioned his father's death twice, but each time he downplayed it as if it was insignificant. Jiang Jinyue felt that if he said "Sorry, no offense meant" it would seem abrupt.
Seeing that she seemed to have finished reading, Bai Yuqing took the initiative to ask, "If you want to stay here, I have a clean four-piece suit. I will help you change later."
Jiang Jinyue nodded and said, "I'll live here."
Although the conditions here are not good, compared to what we just saw, at least it is still habitable.
If she wanted to live here, then... She looked at Bai Yuqing: "Then where will you sleep at night?"
"I can just go to other people's houses and stay there for a while."
Thinking of such a quiet person going to spend the night somewhere else, Jiang Jinyue immediately shook his head, "No, you have to follow me all the time from now on, and I won't allow you to be dirty."
"There's an abandoned old house next to it. I'll clean it up later and it won't get dirty."
Jiang Jinyue still looked at him, but didn't say anything. Her eyes were clear, and she didn't nod or say she agreed.
Bai Yuqing looked at her for a few seconds, then suddenly realized what was going on and asked, "Are you scared?"
Jiang Jinyue hated his big reaction and pursed her lips. "Don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid of ghosts. I'm just afraid that someone will climb over the wall and come in in the middle of the night."
"So I'll give you another 1,000 and you'll sleep outside this door."
She pointed to where Bai Yuqing was standing.
It is now late winter and early spring. The temperature here is already above 10 degrees Celsius, but it will still be a little cold at night.
Jiang Jinyue didn't care. She was finally willing to admit that even though they had just met today, she had an inexplicable trust in the man in front of her.
Moreover, he is the type of person who takes money from others and helps them to eliminate disasters.
As long as you give him money, everything is fair.
Yes, that's fair.
But this time, Bai Yuqing didn't agree directly. Instead, he said, "You're afraid that someone might climb over the wall and come in at night, but aren't you afraid that I might push the door open at night?"
"Will you?"
"Come on, I'm a man too. And you're so handsome, did you forget I've been staring at you all day?"
"..." Jiang Jinyue didn't say anything, just kept looking at her.
In her cold eyes, Bai Yuqing leaned against the door frame and continued, "Is this inexplicable trust in others a common problem among you city girls? Aren't you afraid that I have bad intentions?"
"Then do you have any bad intentions?" Jiang Jinyue, who had already "occupied the magpie's nest" at this moment, stood in the room of a boy she met for the first time and asked.
"If I had evil intentions, I would have had countless opportunities to harm you today."
"That's it."
"However, some bad guys just like to play the long game, catching you off guard, and then delivering a devastating blow."
"What on earth do you want to say!" Jiang Jinyue was annoyed.
Bai Yuqing put away his laziness and suddenly stepped into the room.
The small space became very cramped because of his entry, and Jiang Jinyue felt that the air was becoming thinner.
The man in front of him didn't look as playful as he did today. The corners of his lips were smoothed, and the calmness in his eyes was frightening.
He pressed forward step by step, and Jiang Jinyue unconsciously retreated step by step.
Until my waist hit the table.
Her upper body leaned back as the man remained close to her.
The man held the table with both hands, and she was trapped in it, her heartbeat getting faster and faster.
Fear gradually spread.
until--
The man suddenly laughed, his teeth showing but his eyes invisible.
"Bai Yuqing!" Jiang Jinyue was so angry when he saw him like this that he wanted to beat him to death.
I pushed him with all my strength.
Hard.
The man let him push him, took two steps back, and put away his smile.
"Since you've chosen to trust me, then trust only me. Everyone else should remain vigilant. How about that? I swear on my life that I will never harm you."
As he spoke, he lazily stretched out three fingers as if swearing.
Confrontation is always silent. Instead of using words, Jiang Jinyue is more accustomed to using eyes.
Looking into his penetrating black eyes quietly, Jiang Jinyue finally nodded perfunctorily, "I know, I know."
This wasn't the first time he'd stressed this.
He seemed to regard everyone here as a scourge.
***
Jiang Jinyue sat on a chair in the room with the door open, watching the people busying around outside the room.
The platform on the second floor is only about 1.2 meters wide, which is very narrow for the tall man in front of him.
He first swept the floor with a broom, then squatted on the ground and wiped the floor back and forth twice.
Then, he took out several quilts and other things and placed them in a mess underneath, layer upon layer, as if he had built a small tatami mat.
These should be the things he got from that bankrupt small hotel.
He has long fingers and fair skin, and there's a certain aesthetic quality to his work that's worth appreciating.
Especially the small red mole at the corner of his eye, which seemed to move as he moved.
Because he was working, Bai Yuqing took off his coat.
He was only wearing a short-sleeved shirt, and the muscle lines of his arms became clearer as he worked. When the wind blew, the boy's waistline was outlined, with broad shoulders and a narrow waist. She suddenly thought of some male anchors who were on the edge of the internet.
Well, he's not as fresh as him, his muscles are not as natural as his, and his figure is not as good as his.
Although, she only glanced at his arm.
Whenever Bai Yuqing looked over, she would look away and look at the glass on the roof.
It also hid the redness on her cheeks.
Jiang Jinyue was actually a little confused. She didn't know if she had any special hobbies, but she seemed to particularly like watching the man in front of her work, whether it was boiling water before or making the bed now.
Whenever he did something like this, she would always look at him involuntarily.
What kind of niche XP is this...
Obviously, she had seen too many male servants or workers since she was a child. The villa where her lecherous sister lived was full of handsome men who mopped the floor and watered the plants with their upper bodies naked every day.
But she felt that she would get stye when she saw it, and she never went to the villa again.
But now, she was like... under a spell.
The man started to get busy again. He found a few boards from somewhere and stood them there. They could block the wind and prevent things from rolling down from the second floor at night.
Jiang Jinyue took a look and it seemed quite dangerous.
I looked inside this small bedroom again, and it seemed like I could sleep on the floor...
No, no, no, she quickly shook her head to get rid of the thought.
Jiang Jinyue tried her best to divert her attention away from him, but at that moment, her cell phone rang.
Looking at the word "sister" displayed on the screen, she hesitated for a moment, but still picked up the phone.
"Hello? Sister."
"Why did you leave without saying a word? Is it okay to go to that kind of place? The transportation is inconvenient, it is inconvenient to take a shower, it is inconvenient to sleep, and it is not safe!" As soon as the phone was connected, there was a series of attacks.
And she was right about everything she said.
Dai Shuyue asked again: "What are you doing over there?"
"Filming." Jiang Jinyue answered obediently.
"Why would you travel so far to shoot any drama you want? If you really need a role, I'll create a project for you. You can play whatever role you want."
"Sister, no need." Jiang Jinyue said lightly, not even calling her sister.
It’s just the word “sister”.
Dai Shuyue was completely convinced. Her sister was more difficult to deal with than anyone else when she became stubborn.
Besides, her younger sister is pursuing her own business now. Although she is not so supportive, it is not easy for her to directly oppose it.
After a moment's silence, she said, "I will invest more in this project. I'll come see you later."
"Okay, sister."
Bai Yuqing couldn't help but glance at her. The girl who looked aloof was actually very well-behaved in front of her sister.
Jiang Jinyue saw Bai Yuqing looking at her and was about to hang up the phone, but hesitated and continued to make small talk: "Sister, how did you know I wasn't home?"
"Oh, Lion told me."
"who?"
"I found you a new man. A half-blood, but since you don't want him, I'll enjoy him first."
“…” Jiang Jinyue remained silent.
"Oh. That's right!" Dai Shuyue seemed to remember something important.
Jiang Jinyue pricked up her ears and listened as she said, "If you see someone you like there, you can have some fun with him, understand? Those rough, rural guys probably have a unique charm."
When she heard this, she happened to make eye contact with the man who had packed up.
“…”
How embarrassing, he probably can't hear me, right?
He doesn't have super hearing from such a long distance.
Why scare yourself?
After some comfort, she calmly turned down the volume of her phone a little more.
"Did you hear that?" Dai Shuyue asked again.
Jiang Jinyue looked at Bai Yuqing as if she had thrown away a broken jar. Perhaps she wanted to shut up her sister who kept sending men to her. When she wanted to regret it, it was too late.
Words spoken without warning are like spilled water—
"I've found a man. He's not a rough guy, but he looks like he's in good shape."
It's over, something happened.
Jiang Jinyue regretted it so much that he wanted to go back and drown himself in the bathing pot.
Her eyes lightly passed over Bai Yuqing.
Bai Yuqing couldn't help but look down at his own figure. Are you talking about... him?
I don’t know what the person on the phone said.
The young lady then spoke again: "Well, I have already told him that I will support him and give him 3,000 yuan a day."
3000? It is indeed 3000 for a night's sleep.
Bai Yuqing increasingly felt that the person this young lady was talking about was himself.
When Jiang Jinyue hung up the phone, she saw Bai Yuqing looking at her with a look that said, "My innocence is ruined, do you want to give me an explanation?"
But the expected embarrassment did not happen.
"I think I earned my money through hard work, miss." Bai Yuqing pointed to the built bed, then to the jar. "My innocence was ruined in just a few words," she said with a smile.
She said this with a very innocent smile, and it was obvious that she didn't take what she just said to heart.
With just a few words, the huge manor that Jiang Jinyue had just dug out, which was comparable to her own manor, was blown away.
Although he knew it was a joke, Jiang Jinyue still explained: "Our family situation is a bit complicated. These words are used to prevaricate my sister. You don't have to take it to heart."
"Okay. Even if it's an additional service that you paid so much for."
At night, the moon is bright and the stars are sparse.
At night, Jiang Jinyue finally encountered the most devastating thing that happened to her here.
