Chapter 19 Chapter 19 “You’re not really going to be a hooligan to me…
Ji Ci packed her luggage overnight, taking only some seasonal clothes and basic daily necessities.
The next day she went to the pet shop to resign to Sister Xu, and at the same time distributed the flowers, plants, pots and pans that she couldn't take away.
Xiao Zhou tried hard but still accepted his incompetence: "He was fine yesterday, why is he leaving today?"
Ji Ci had no choice but to make up an excuse: "There's an emergency at home."
Xiao Zhou was still puzzled: "If you have something urgent, go home first, and come back when everything is fine. You look like you're dividing the inheritance, are you not coming back?"
Ji Ci said nothing.
"It's not true, is it? What about Boss Jin? You guys aren't... huh?"
The last syllable of the word almost reached the sky.
Sister Xu noticed Ji Ci's embarrassment and took over the conversation: "The store has been busy lately, and it's really hard to find anyone now that you're gone. It's so sudden. Did something happen?"
Ji Ci shook her head: "I'm sorry Sister Xu, I really have something to do."
"So you're just leaving like that?" Sister Xu pointed to the room next door with her chin. "Does he know?"
"I know," Ji Ci lowered her eyes. "There's nothing between him and me..."
She had packed all the things in advance, so after she left, she and Boss Jin could just go upstairs to get them.
"What about the wontons?" Xiao Zhou asked.
Ji Ci said softly, "Leave it to Boss Jin."
In the shop next door, Jin Sen rubbed the little orange cat's head and said, "Your mother doesn't want you anymore."
Wonton squatted in his palm, looked up and meowed in confusion.
Ji Ci's suitcase was placed at the door of the auto repair shop. She packed it up and handed the key to Jin Sen when she went out. She left at lightning speed without even looking back.
Jin Sen’s rent threat was nothing at all. Although it only added up to a few thousand yuan, a few thousand yuan was enough to buy Wonton a bunch of snacks.
"Your mother doesn't love you anymore," he said again.
Ji Ci came out from next door and Jin Sen stood up from the stool.
It's hard to get a taxi here, and it's not convenient for Ji Ci either, so he plans to send Ji Ci away.
"You must come back to visit," Xiao Zhou held Ji Ci's hand, "You said you would treat me to milk tea yesterday, but you haven't given me that yet."
Ji Ci comforted her: "I'll order it for you right away."
"No, no," Xiao Zhou shook his head, "You have to buy it and send it to me."
No matter how reluctant they were, they had to separate. Jin Sen put the luggage into the trunk. Wonton went to rub against Ji Ci's feet, and she bent down and hugged the cat.
"Can it get on the car?" Ji Ci asked Jin Sen.
Jin Sen bit a cigarette and said, "Whatever."
It was Ji Ci's first time riding in Boss Jin's van. The car was very clean. A peach wood amulet strung with a red rope hung on the rearview mirror, and a faint scent of green tea could be smelled.
There was a pack of tissues hanging above the passenger seat, which touched Ji Ci's head. Jin Sen took it off and threw it behind the windshield.
"Adjust the seat yourself." Jin Sen said.
Ji Ci responded with an "OK", fastened her seat belt, and lowered her head to touch Wonton's head.
"Thank you, Boss Jin."
As soon as he finished speaking, Jin Sen pressed the handbrake, shifted gears and stepped on the accelerator.
Ji Ci opened the window and waved to the people who came out to see her off. The car drove away for some distance, but her gaze was still on the small street where she had lived for more than half a year. She remembered that the owner of the dry goods store had told her that chestnuts in October were the most delicious.
"Close the window, there is a cat here." Jin Sen reminded.
Ji Ci responded, withdrew her gaze, and closed the car window.
They were going to the next city, which was about an hour's drive away, not very far. Jin Sen took the provincial road with many traffic lights.
"Where are you going next?"
After more than half an hour of silence, Jin Sen finally couldn't help but speak first.
He bit the cigarette and spoke vaguely.
Ji Ci still lowered her head, thankful that she still had a little thing in her hand that she could toy with: "I don't know."
Jin Sen asked again: "Don't you know or won't you tell me?"
This was said so bluntly that Ji Ci was stunned.
She raised her head, looked towards the driver's seat, and explained seriously, "I need to discuss this with my friend before making a decision."
The red light turned green and the car drove out of the intersection smoothly.
Jin Sen said "hmm" without looking away: "I was just being sentimental."
Ji Ci: “…”
She didn't know what to say, so she just continued to stroke her cat.
"Boss Jin, if you want to smoke, go ahead."
"No need," Jin Sen still held his unlit cigarette in his mouth, "I've quit."
Ji Ci asked in a low voice: "Why?"
"Do you know why I don't have a cat or a dog?"
Ji Ci probably already knew what was going on, but she still followed Jin Sen's lead and asked like a human-machine: "Why?"
Jin Sen said: "Because pets can't breathe secondhand smoke."
Ji Ci lowered her head even lower.
Jin Sen added: "It's really troublesome."
It might be troublesome indeed, but after thinking about it, Ji Ci still didn't know what she could give to Boss Jin.
He has everything she has. Maybe he lacks nothing, but Ji Ci just wants to give him something. She is a little selfish and wants Boss Jin not to forget her.
"It's also good to quit smoking. Smoking is harmful to your health."
Jin Sen turned his head to look at her.
Ji Ci turned her face to the window.
Half an hour later, the car stopped on the roadside next to a hotel. Ji Ci got out of the car holding Wonton and kissed it on the forehead.
Jin Sen took her luggage out of the trunk, looked up and saw a man and a cat clinging to each other, and said, "If you really can't bear to part with them, take them away."
Ji Ci quickly let go and handed the cat to Jin Sen.
Jin Sen took it with one hand.
"Thank you, Boss Jin."
Jin Sen turned his face away, looking annoyed.
She is indeed quite annoying.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Jin," Ji Ci said, changing her tone. "I wish you good health."
She went to pick up the suitcase, pressing the handle to pull out the handle. With two clicks, Ji Ci changed hands and Jin Sen closed the trunk.
"I, I'm leaving." Ji Ci said stutteringly.
But after all that was said, no one took the first step.
Jin Sen looked at her: "Will we meet again?"
Ji Ci was speechless for a moment.
"Whatever," Jin Sen seemed to be asking and answering himself, "Let's go."
Ji Ci turned around and looked back.
Jin Sen was petting the cat with his head down and didn't look at her.
"Gulululu-Gulululu-"
The small wheels of the suitcase rubbed against the ground, making a continuous noise. The sound was getting farther and farther away. The wonton in Jin Sen's arms seemed to sense something and was about to jump down.
Jin Sen caught the cat with his quick hands and eyes. The cat had no leash, so it would disappear if he let go.
He returned to the car and placed the wontons on the passenger seat.
Wonton jumped up with a cry of "Awooo", and scratched the car window with his two front paws, as if trying to escape from prison.
The little orange cat that was originally not going to survive due to premature birth is now showing signs of gaining weight. The thick layer of fur on its belly shows that it has been carefully cared for.
"Stop looking," Jin Sen fished the wontons out of the car window. "You're still looking when no one wants you anymore."
Wonton let out another shrill "meow", and with a nimble leap, he flew directly to Jin Sen's steering wheel and continued to scratch the glass.
"You've really gone crazy," Jin Sen grabbed it, "You can do whatever you want when you get home, but you can't mess around in the car."
When a wonton is turned over, it becomes a claw.
There was a blood mark on the back of Jin Sen's hand.
Jin Sen: “…”
He looked at his hands and was stunned.
“Ouch—Ouch—Ouch—”
Wonton suddenly cried out, his voice was melodious and shrill, as if he was looking for a mate during the estrus period because his balls had not been circumcised.
Jin Sen watched it howl in silence for a moment, then opened the door and got out of the car, walking straight in the direction Ji Ci had just left.
The hotel is a chain hotel and the gate is very luxurious.
Behind the large green area are double-sided sloping stairs with a symmetrical design, and a circular revolving door sandwiched between the two small doors.
Jin Sen walked up, grabbed the door handle and pulled it open.
However, at this moment, a figure flashed through the revolving door. He was startled and subconsciously turned his head to look over. Ji Ci was like chestnuts being roasted across the street, and he just poured out of the drum with a "crash".
She walked away in a hurry with empty hands.
When their eyes met, they were both stunned.
"squeak--"
The half-open door suddenly bounced back, and the door hinges made a slightly sharp friction sound due to lack of lubrication.
Ji Ci was awakened by the voice, and then Jin Sen walked towards her.
She walked over to him from two steps away. A warm and firm hug almost made her tiptoe. Ji Ci was picked up and she subconsciously grabbed the other person's clothes.
Jin Sen's words were close to her ear, softly and with a wet pleading tone: "Wonton misses you."
Ji Ci's eyes became hot, and the hand that was holding the hem of his clothes loosened, then went around his waist and hugged him tightly from behind.
She buried her face in the other's neck and said in a muffled voice: "I want it too."
Ji Ci didn't plan to leave.
She sat in the hotel lobby and called Zhuang Yan.
Zhuang Yan, who was exhausted from the journey, understood immediately after hearing this: "Are you still bowing down to this handsome guy?"
"No," Ji Ci glanced at the "handsome guy" sitting next to her, her fingers twirling uncomfortably around the hair hanging on her chest, "It's mainly about my cat..."
She had only said half of the words when she smiled a little embarrassedly.
Zhuang Yan sighed pretentiously: "Excuse me, should I still go over there?"
"Since we're here," Ji Ci said, "there are many fun places in Yuncheng. I'll take you there."
After hanging up the phone, she looked at the man beside her: "What should I do?"
Jin Sen leaned against the sofa, supported his chin with his fingers, and looked at her: "It's mainly your cat?"
Ji Ci: “…”
Her eyes wandered: "Boss Jin, have you thought it through?"
Jin Sen stretched out his hand towards her: "Your cat scratched it."
Ji Ci's eyes widened instantly: "Wonton? Impossible, it never catches people."
Jin Sen said helplessly: "Yes, I scratched it myself."
Ji Ci was skeptical: "Did you hit it?"
Jin Sen hissed in toothache: "It's almost become my ancestor, and I'm still hitting it——"
Ji Ci held his palm, and Jin Sen's words came to an abrupt end.
"Don't be afraid. I deworm and vaccinate Wonton regularly. He won't have rabies."
Which eye saw him afraid.
Jin Sen curled up his five fingers and held Ji Ci's hand.
Ji Ci suddenly closed her mouth, looked up at Jin Sen and blinked.
Looks pretty dumb.
"Although it's not very formal to say this at this time, I'm worried that you'll have to leave again when your friends come." Jin Sen cleared his throat and said seriously, "We held hands and hugged each other. According to the rules here in Yuncheng, if you're not sure about your relationship, it's considered hooliganism."
Ji Ci pursed her lips, without saying anything, and held her hand tighter.
Jin Sen narrowed his eyes uncertainly, leaned forward slightly, and came closer: "You are not really going to be a hooligan to me, are you?"
