Chapter 16
"Why is there a cup of milk tea in my bag?" Jiang Jiang suppressed his anger, his voice trembling slightly.
Xiaobai sensed that Jiang Jiang was in a bad mood. She stood there, feeling a little uneasy. She spoke timidly, "I bought it. I wanted to give it to you..."
"Why do you have to cause trouble at my workplace!" Jiang Jiang's long-accumulated emotions completely erupted. Her eyes were red and her fists were clenched. She looked at Xiaobai and couldn't help but yell.
Xiaobai was so frightened that he froze in place.
"I work myself to death every day, and I still have to support you, provide you with shelter and food, yet you just don't care and mess things up. Do you want me to lose my job and beg on the street with you?!"
Jiang Jiang said, pulling out a wet document from her bag and throwing it at Xiaobai's feet. "I asked you to help copy the document, but what did you print? It caused mistakes in my meeting and made me laugh. Do you have any sense of responsibility? You also pushed my colleague and refused to apologize, offending the boss. Now you've ruined the document I worked so hard on. Can you please stop causing trouble for me?!"
Xiaobai was stunned. She opened her mouth anxiously, wanting to explain.
Jiang Jiang didn't even look at Xiaobai. He returned to his room angrily and slammed the door.
Just a door, but it seems to separate two worlds.
Xiaobai walked to the bedroom door and raised his hand to knock.
Thinking back to Jiang Jiang's hysterical look just now, it was like a sharp knife stabbing at him fiercely, and the raised hand finally slipped down weakly.
With her head down, Xiaobai stood there motionless, wanting to explain herself.
She wanted to say that she found it interesting after helping to copy the documents, so she printed a few of her own palms and faces and specially handed them to Jiang Jiang.
At that time, Jiang Jiang praised her and bought her a small cake!
She wanted to say that she had accidentally pushed her colleague, that she was influenced by the image in her mind and confused reality with it, and that she had gone down the elevator to look for her just to apologize.
She wanted to say that she had found a job so that she could stay with Jiang Jiang more often, and that she would do well and work hard!
She wanted to say that Jiang Jiang's manager did have ulterior motives and wanted to take advantage of her, and she did not wrongly accuse that big-bellied, creepy man!
She wanted to say that she bought milk tea for Jiang Jiang because Aunt Wang said milk tea is sweet and makes you feel good, and she wanted Jiang Jiang to be happy...
However, she messed up everything, and Jiang Jiang seemed even angrier!
Xiaobai stood at the door for a long time, until it was pitch black outside. She slowly got up, picked up the documents stained with milk tea that Jiang Jiang had dropped on the ground, and put Jiang Jiang's bag full of milk tea into the sink to wash it.
In the bedroom.
The bedside lamp was on, Jiang Jiang was lying on the bed holding his cell phone, his eyes shining.
The light from the cell phone made Jiang Jiang's face look pale.
On the mobile phone screen, Jiang Jiang kept sliding the shopping software page.
She's had enough, she wants to go back to her peaceful and ordinary life!
Talisman?
purchase!
Bagua plate?
Buy, buy!
Peach wood sword?
This one is not bad either!
Buddhist beads? That seems possible!
etc!
Jiang Jiang raised her head. She thought about Xiaobai's appearance. He didn't look like a ghost. So, were all these useless?
Thinking of this, Jiang Jiang continued to work hard on shopping.
Garlic! Cross! Black dog fang!
Buy them all! And expedite them all!
After a crazy shopping spree, Jiang Jiang let out a long sigh.
She bought so many, there must be one that works!
Jiang Jiang's eyes lit up and he smiled strangely.

Xiaoan has been on a business trip recently. When he returned to the company, he heard some gossip from colleagues and found out that Jiang Jiang seemed to be arguing with someone.
She was a little curious.
How could Jiang Jiang, who is always good-tempered, get angry at someone?
After asking, she found out that it was Jiang Jiang's sister who came to the company to work as a cleaner, and the two had an unpleasantness in the company, and it seemed that they had offended the manager of their department because of this.
Xiaoan didn’t understand how Jiang Jiang and Xiaobai offended the manager, but that didn’t stop her from imagining it!
The image that immediately popped up in her mind was that the sleazy and greasy manager took a fancy to the new employee Xiaobai and took the initiative to tease him. Jiang Jiang became jealous and started to get angry at Xiaobai, thinking that Xiaobai shouldn't come to work here.
The more Xiaoan thought about it, the more he felt that if that was the case...
She is guilty!
It was she who quietly suggested that day that Xiaobai find a job in the same company so that he could be with Jiang Jiang more often!
Now Xiaobai did as he was told, but he didn't expect Jiang Jiang to be so angry! He even offended his own leader!
Could it be that Jiang Jiang is so disgusted with letting Xiaobai come to work here?
Xiaoan didn't quite understand, but after all, it was her suggestion that led to the quarrel between the two, and Xiaoan felt that she was responsible.
She contacted Jiang Jiang on her cell phone and sent him a string of apologies, but Jiang Jiang did not respond.
She looked at the time. It was too late today and tomorrow was a day off. Xiaoan decided to go to Jiang Jiang's house in person to explain tomorrow. It would be bad if her suggestion affected the relationship between the two!
Early in the morning, Xiaoan took a bus to the community where Jiang Jiang lived.
The sun was shining brightly in the early morning, and a group of old men and women were practicing Tai Chi in the community garden facing the morning light.
The long and slow melody makes everything peaceful and calm.
Xiaoan was looking up to find the floor number when he heard a dog barking.
Before she could react, a dark shadow pounced towards her.
"Ahhh!" Xiaoan was knocked to the ground by a big dog before he could react.
The dog opened its mouth wide, stuck out its tongue, and sniffed Xiaoan all over.
Xiaoan was so frightened that he dared not move, and even held his breath. His nerves were tense, and his eyes were wide open with fear.
"Mimi, Mimi, where have you been?"
Not far away, a female voice sounded.
The nervous Xiaoan didn't hear anything at all and didn't dare to move. She was afraid that if she moved, the big dog on her would bite her throat!
"Oh, Mimi!"
A woman's voice was heard, followed by the sound of approaching footsteps.
The big dog on his body heard the owner's voice and moved, turning its head.
The woman ran over, grabbed the skin on the back of the dog's neck, and pulled the dog off Xiaoan.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!" The woman quickly bent down to help Xiaoan.
Xiaoan looked up and squinted his eyes because of the sunlight.
The woman had her back to the sun, so Xiaoan couldn't see her face clearly. He only knew that her voice was so gentle and she smelled so good when she was close to him.
"I'm really sorry, Mimi didn't mean it! Mimi wasn't like this before, and I don't know what happened to it today! I'm really sorry!" The woman pulled Xiaoan up from the ground, apologized repeatedly, her face full of guilt.
Xiao An finally heard the woman's words clearly. His confused brain didn't react for a moment, and he murmured, "Mimi?"
"Yes, its name is Mimi. It must have pounced on you because it likes you. It has no ill intentions!" The woman pulled the big dog over and explained.
The big dog stuck out his tongue and looked at Xiaoan with a silly and cute look.
Looking at the half-human-height German Shepherd named Mimi in front of him, Xiaoan's mouth twitched.
"Oh, you're hurt!" The woman saw a hint of red on Xiaoan's wrist and her face was full of guilt.
Xiaoan then realized that his elbow had been bruised and now he felt a burning stinging sensation. It was probably because it had rubbed against the ground when Big...Mimi pounced on him.
"My home is right here. I'll take you back to apply medicine!" the woman said repeatedly, reaching out and holding Xiaoan.
Xiaoan was about to refuse, but the woman's grip on her hand made her shiver, and she sighed inwardly, "So soft!"
The soft and warm touch made her feel a little dizzy...
When she finally reacted, she shuddered and realized that she had been pulled into the corridor to wait for the elevator.
"My name is Liang Rou. Mimi didn't mean it just now. It won't bite anyone. You can touch it!" Liang Rou smiled gently and patted the head of the big dog next to her.
The dog Mimi was praised by his owner and was in a good mood. He grinned happily and stuck out his tongue.
Looking at the big dog that was half a person's height, Xiaoan felt a little timid, but when she met Liang Rou's expectant eyes, she couldn't say no, so she had to bite the bullet and reach out to touch the dog's head.
After being touched, Mimi was obviously happier. It wagged its tail happily. Its big tail was like a hammer, knocking on the elevator wall with a "bangbangbang" sound, which made Xiaoan's scalp numb.
Liang Rou smiled happily, "It seems that Mimi really likes you!"
Mimi held her head high and her tail wagged even more happily.
Xiaoan, “…” Thank you.
Without noticing which floor the elevator reached, Xiaoan was pulled out of the elevator by Liang Rou.
After opening the door, Liang Rou asked Xiaoan to sit on the sofa and got up to get the medicine box.
Only Xiaoan and Mimi were left in the living room. Mimi kept looking at Xiaoan with her dog eyes, panting with her tongue out, and sitting on her little blanket, looking eager to try something.
This made Xiaoan nervous, and he sat very straight on the sofa. Even when he was a child in school, he had never sat so straight!
Fortunately, Liang Rou came out quickly.
Xiaoan said he came to apply medicine, but was rejected by Liang Rou.
"Your elbow is broken. It's inconvenient for you to apply medicine. Let me do it!" Liang Rou took a cotton swab and iodine to disinfect Xiaoan.
She frowned slightly, gently wiped the wound with a cotton swab, and leaned over to blow on it from time to time in an attempt to relieve the pain.
Her hair fell a little messily beside her cheek, but it did not distract her at all. She gently tucked her hair behind her ear. This casual gesture revealed a special kind of concentration and beauty.
Xiaoan was completely stunned, his heart beating wildly and uncontrollably, as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
This woman is so fucking charming!
This sentence popped up in Xiaoan's mind.
Liang Rou put on the Band-Aid, raised her head and smiled, "It's done!"
"Yeah, okay, thank you." Xiaoan answered randomly, looking a little dull.
Looking at the dazed Xiaoan, Liang Rou couldn't help laughing. She stood up and poured Xiaoan a glass of water.
During this time, Mimi stood up several times with the ball in her mouth and wanted to play with Liang Rou and Xiao An, but was stopped by Liang Rou's gentle yet stern tone. She could only lie in her doghouse humming.
"Mimi, no!" Liang Rou pointed at Mimi and said.
The voice was soft, and the breath was like a wisp of mist, spreading quietly in the air, and it seemed like it had countless small hooks, hooking Xiaoan's heart.
Xiaoan lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed.
Mom, she seems to be in love!
