Lao Xie asked Xie Wei to take Jiang Nan to the county to buy some clothes. These days, Jiang Nan has been wearing the same clothes that Xie's mother used to wear. She was tall and her trousers always exposed her ankles.
Jiang Nan excused himself, saying that he was afraid that he would be too tired to walk the mountainous road, so he could just let Lin Jiao and Xie Wei go.
Lin Jiao happily agreed and went to pick up the bicycle with Xie Wei. Xie Wei opened the bicycle lock silently without saying a word.
The bicycle was speeding along the path in the field, and Lin Jiao swung her feet excitedly to reach the weeds on both sides of the road.
"Sit tight, don't fall." Xie Wei's faint voice came from the front, and Lin Jiao hugged his waist with one hand.
"Steady!" The girl's silvery laughter came from the wind.
Xie Wei felt his waist was very hot, as if there was a soldering iron surrounding him. He was so stiff that he didn't dare to move. It wasn't until the bicycle lost power and started to swing from side to side that he regained consciousness.
"Jiaojiao, you should go back to the big city." Xie Wei said with difficulty.
That is her world. She should have a good job, marry a good man, and live a life without worries about food and clothing.
"You come with me. Jiang Nan said that he wants you to be a software engineer."
Xie Wei laughed at himself: "She just thinks that our family is kind to her. No company would hire someone like me."
Lin Jiao didn't like him belittling her so much, and felt flustered in her heart.
"That's not the case. She said you are very talented and excellent!"
"That girl is just trying to protect her, so you will believe her after hearing her."
He once thought he had talent and interviewed with several companies. But when others looked at his resume, he failed to pass the first test and was rejected.
Lin Jiao felt very distressed when she heard his low voice, and her voice was choked with sobs: "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me..."
Xie Wei stopped and interrupted her self-blame with a gentle voice: "Don't say that, I have never regretted it."
He was even grateful that he had saved her. The girl he liked could not fall into the quagmire.
With this episode, Lin Jiao was in a very depressed mood along the way. Xie Wei didn't know what to say to her, and the two of them were silent.
When they arrived in the county, Xie Wei and Lin Jiao went to the only local department store and picked out some clothes for Jiang Nan.
The waiter enthusiastically pulled the two of them and said that there is a lottery in the store now, and if you win the first prize, you can take a set of couple photos for free.
"Let's try it too!"
Just as Xie Wei was about to refuse, Lin Jiao pulled him and the waiter to the lottery box.
"It's not guaranteed that you'll win. It's here now, so feel free to take a swipe."
The waiter opened Lin Jiao's note and said with a smile: "The little beauty is so lucky. She won the first prize. The elevator on the left goes to the third floor. Turn left and go straight and there is a Lijing Photo Studio. You can go up and take pictures now."
Xie Wei subconsciously wanted to run away: "Let's do it another day, I don't have time now."
But Lin Jiao grabbed him and said without refusal: "If we have time, let's go up and shoot now!"
The waiter also shouted: "Go on, young man, you can't say you don't have time to spend with your girlfriend. You don't have time, but other men have a lot of time!"
Xie Wei couldn't hear what the waiter said at all. He was overwhelmed by Lin Jiao's sudden arrogance and stiffly let her lead him upstairs.
...
"Young man, come closer to your girlfriend and smile." The photographer pointed his camera at the two of them, taking pictures and guiding them.
Lin Jiao hugged Xie Wei's waist and asked him to come closer to her. Without noticing, Xie Wei almost fell into Lin Jiao's arms.
"Hey, that's okay too. The woman takes the lead." The photographer was excited. He didn't expect that the girl was petite and cute, but she turned out to be a mini-gong. The contrast was full!
Xie Wei was already numb and was at the mercy of Lin Jiao, like a abused rag doll. Lin Jiao also became more and more popular, her behavior became more and more bold, she hugged Xie Wei's waist and kissed him.
"Beautiful -" the photographer yelled. Xie Wei was shocked and pushed Lin Jiao away, but his entire focus was on Lin Jiao's arms, and the two fell to the ground.
"We should go back." He got up and walked out of the studio in a panic.
Lin Jiao felt proud and told the cameraman with a smile that she had worked hard.
The photographer was also very satisfied with the set of photos and wanted to develop them immediately. He asked Lin Jiao if he could do an advertisement and give the two of them a photo album and a poster. Lin Jiao curled her lips and agreed without hesitation.
Lin Jiao selected the photos, agreed to pick up the album in two hours, and then slowly went out to find Xie Wei.
Xie Wei leaned on the railing at the door and waited quietly, looking at his watch from time to time.
Every minute spent with Lin Jiao was painful. She was obviously the girl she liked, but she had to tell herself that there was no result between them.
Lin Jiao didn't care about Xiao Jiujiu in his heart. She just went to conquer Xie Wei. Since he refused to take the initiative, she would do it herself.
If both of them back down, there's no point talking about the future.
"Hello, handsome guy, is this your lost girlfriend?"
Lin Jiao patted his shoulder from behind, and Xie Wei turned around with a smile on his lips, which he immediately suppressed.
"Why did it take so long? We should go back." He didn't pay any attention to what she said about his girlfriend.
"What's the rush? I'm hungry. Let's go eat first!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but walk to a Hunan restaurant. Xie Wei had no choice but to follow.
Lin Jiao picked up the menu, ordered a few dishes and handed it to the waiter. Xie Wei didn't care, he would eat whatever she ate anyway.
Lin Jiao held her chin with her hand and asked casually: "Boyfriend, are you planning to give me a title?"
"Cough cough cough..." Xie Wei choked on the water and let out a violent cough. It took him a long time before he said hoarsely: "Don't talk nonsense. A girl's reputation is very important."
Lin Jiao stared at him and shook her head: "You are also very important. I don't want any reputation now, I only want you."
Xie Wei gritted his teeth and changed the subject: "You weren't like this before. Who taught you to talk like this, Jiangnan?"
"I will settle the score with her later!"
Lin Jiao didn't care what he said, and said to herself: "When I was in high school, my grades were not good enough to get into Q University. You said you wanted to go to Q University with me, so I worked like crazy and studied all the questions. Until three o’clock in the morning.”
After speaking, he raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "I have always been like this. I will not give up until I achieve my goal."
Xie Wei stopped talking and stared at the water in the cup.
Since Lin Jiao was so fiery and brave, he was already in the swamp, how could he let her get stained with mud.
When she goes back, everything will be back on track. Just bear with it, just bear with it, he said in his heart.
When the dishes arrived, they were all his favorites. Xie Wei looked at her in surprise.
Lin Jiao no longer had a stubborn look on her face, and returned to her usual sweet and soft look. Praise me was written all over her face:
"Hey, I'm smart, I know from your usual cooking that you like spicy food and don't like offal."
He couldn't help but smile: "Very smart."
