Xue Xue finally went to six companies for interview and got accepted in four. After careful consideration, she chose to work as the product designer for a local enterprise that was expanding its stores nationwide at a steady pace as her first job.
This was not the end, but the beginning.
Xue Xue was very clear of her goal.
âHey, itâs fine if you have decided. Originally, mom planned to introduce you to the company of my colleagueâs son. I heard that it is the kind of multinational companies with good benefits and many opportunities for promotion. But the acceptance rate is too low, and itâs hard to get in without a little connection.â
âWell, I understand momâs good intentions, but I still want to accumulate experience first, and I think our company has a good prospect and the atmosphere is good, and the contract given to us was clearly written. Athough the current scale is not as good as a big company, but thereâs still a good chance.â
âOkay, okay, if you have a plan in your mind, mom believes in you. Work hard!â
âWell, tell Dad again, Iâll be back this week, and ask him to leave some time for me, donât patronize Uncle Chenâs house to play chess.â
After talking to Guan Yan on the phone, it just so happened that Ji Mujing walked out.
The two began to meet each other a week ago.
The day after meeting Zhang Fang, Ji Mujing asked Xue Xue to come out.
A key was placed in front of her.
Seeing this, Xue Xue raised her eyebrows. âWhy? Are you planning to take care of me?â
The undisguised sharp tone made Ji Mujing stunned for a while.
He seemed to have never heard Xue You speak to him in such a tone.
But looking at the woman in front of him carefully, it seemed that she has really changed. Her face is radiant, and even after not applying the face powder, her complexion was still very good. Her appearance now seemed to be emanated from the inside.
Ji Mujing thought again of the woman who came out of the bathroom that day.
It was a different style. More lively and fragrant.
Itâs Xue You, but it doesnât seem to be Xue You.
But soon, he shook his head and dismissed this ridiculous and baseless idea.
âItâs not like that.â Ji Mujing, who had calmed down, quickly returned to his usual calm appearance. âThe company has a rental subsidy, so I changed to a suite.â
âThe suite is good, there is a master bedroom and a guest room, and it is in the urban area. The environment is good too, and in the future, your work transportation will be more convenientâŚâ
âJi Mujing.â
âHuh?â
âAre you the landlord?â
Ji Mujing understood her word.
He laughed.
Xue Xue seemed to understand a little why Xue You liked Ji Mujing so much, because when the man laughed, it really made people feel like a spring breeze just came by. It was like the kind of warmth that could slowly melt the snow.
âNo, I just donât trust you to live alone as a girl.â
Xue Xue was caught unexpectedly by this answer.
She looked at Ji Mujing carefully.
The manâs face was not good, he was a little haggard, and there was still a little bit of stubble on his sexy chin, but his eyes were calm, especially when she looked at his gaze, there was a certain kind of firmness and relief.
Xue Xueâs mind moved.
âWhen I said I would be responsible, I was not joking or being hot-headed.â Sure enough, the man said in a deep voice the very next second. âBefore that, I⌠had already broken up with Wang Yuqi, so I am single now.â
âIf you donât mind, I think maybe we can give it a tryâŚâ
âWhy?â Hearing this, Xue Xue directly interrupted Ji Mujingâs words. âWhy do you think I donât mind?â
Ji Mujing, who was asked this question, became speechless for a while.
And Xue Xue hadnât finished speaking yet.
âYou already knew that Xue You likes you, and will like whatever you say.â
A woman calling her name directly may sound strange to ordinary people, but Ji Mujing felt that there was nothing wrong with it. He just didnât dare to look directly into the eyes of the other party, facing the eyes that seemed to see through everything.
Xue Xue, who saw Ji Mujingâs trying to avoid looking into her eyes, laughed mockingly.
âJi Mujing, we are not children anymore, so there should be a limit to our willfulness, right?â
âWhy do you think she will accept your love like charity? Could it be that in your eyes, Xue Youâs love is so cheap? Or is she just a spare tire that can give you physical comfort when you are out of love?â
âNo, itâs not.â Although he didnât understand why the woman in front of him said Xue You as if it wasnât her, Ji Mujing still instinctively opened his mouth to argue. âI never thought that she⌠your love is cheap, and I never thought that being responsible was a charity.â
âAs for the spare tire⌠Xiao You, I donât know why you feel this way, but I swear , I never thought of using you as a spare tire, not now nor in the future.â
âNo matter what, those two nights were real. Since I dared to do it, I will not make any excuses for myself.â
Ji Mujing finally met Xue Xueâs gaze calmly.
âI admit that I canât let go of Wang Yuqi now. After all, I have accumulated a lot of feelings in the past ten years of relationship and I was sincere then. Iâm being sincere to you now too.â
âI really want to face my future life.â Ji Mujing paused. âWith you.â
Hearing this, Xue Xue did not speak again, but only used a look that was a little sad, a little happy, and a little excited and confused.
Ji Mujingâs heart throbbed when he saw it.
He wanted to speak, but found that the words were stucked, and his mind was so blanked. He went through his thoughts but still couldnât find a suitable word to break the silence.
The two stayed silent like this until Xue Xue stretched out her hand and took the key.
System: âJi Mujingâs favorability has risen to 15%, and the clientâs grievance has dropped to 80%.â
âHad a talked with your mother on the phone?â
Ji Mujing walked out with wet black hair. It was messily scattered and there was a decadent sexiness.
âHmm.â
Xue Xue didnât think too much, picked up the clean towel hanging on the back of the chair, and wiped it for him.
This unintentional move warmed the manâs heart. He only felt that the exhaustion of the whole day seemed to be completely gone after smelling the faint fragrance from Xue Xueâs body.
âAre you going back tomorrow?â
Hearing Ji Mujing asked, Xue Xueâs movement paused.
âWell, I might not be able to go home for a while after I report to work, so I want to take advantage of this holiday to go back to accompany them.â
After Xue Xue finished speaking, Ji Mujing didnât speak for a while, but obediently let the woman wipe his hair.
Just when Xue Xue felt that it was almost over, and was about to urge him to blow his head to avoid catching a cold, Ji Mujing said abruptly.
