Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 223 Taste Auntie’s rice bowl again

"What is your relationship with the other lesbians in the yard?"

She stared at Xu Jichang with an extremely serious expression.

Xu Jichang raised his eyes: "Why do you ask this?"

Xia Yingxue shook her head: "I must know."

"Do I have an obligation to tell you?"

Xu Jichang raised his eyebrows, walked to the fireplace and sat down, with his back to Xia Yingxue, "I welcome you to warm yourself by the fire."

"If you have to ask if these are available, then please come back."

Xia Yingxue had never been treated with such an attitude by him before. She was silent for a while before she came back to her senses.

"Are they all with you..."

She asked, standing behind Xu Jichang.

Originally, Xia Yingxue just thought that Xu Jichang was too young and carefree and couldn't control himself.

But as soon as she went to bed last night, the more she thought about it, the more something was wrong. She kept tossing and turning until dawn, and came to a terrible conclusion!

Faced with Xia Yingxue's question, Xu Jichang finally turned around.

"Don't slander me. What you say is not true."

He said to Xia Yingxue with a serious face.

Shen Danrui had never performed the Duke of Zhou ceremony with him, so Xia Yingxue's guess that he had done so with all the girls in the courtyard was purely conjecture and did not conform to the actual situation.

Faced with such groundless speculation, Xu Jichang had to clarify it in time.

When Xia Yingxue heard what Xu Jichang said, she felt unexpected again: in her mind, Xu Jichang was a courageous person.

Since he didn't admit what he proposed, does that mean...

Do you really think too much?
Xia Yingxue's originally determined heart wavered for a moment.

"Come and warm yourself by the fire. Aren't you cold just standing there?"

Xu Jichang faced the fireplace again and said to Xia Yingxue behind him.

Xia Yingxue felt a bit cold when he reminded her like this, so she obediently stepped forward and sat next to Xu Jichang.

"Go ahead."

When Xu Ji saw her coming over, he closed his eyes slightly and said.

Xia Yingxue was stunned: "What did you say?"

Xu Jichang looked at her at this time: "You came to me with more than just this problem."

Xia Yingxue's eyes met Xu Jichang's. She felt a little uncomfortable and flickered slightly.
"Well... I also want to ask you, what did yesterday mean?"

"Why did you do it to me and Qingyu at the same time..."

"I like you both. Is that a good reason?"

"what?"

At this point in the conversation, Xia Yingxue was taken aback by Xu Jichang's boldness and directness.

Everyone talks about being single-minded when it comes to falling in love, but Xu Jichang actually boldly declared in person that he fell in love with both of them at the same time.

Is this... this mentality too strong?

Of course, it's not too surprising when it comes to him...

Xia Yingxue sighed silently.

If it were any other person, she would definitely walk away without hesitation, and even slap the other person in the face before leaving, scolding him for his shamelessness.

But today we are facing Xu Jichang.

To Xia Yingxue, his appearance, career, and attitude towards her could only be described as perfect scores.

Even though her reason told Xia Yingxue that she should leave with a cold face at this moment, she just couldn't do it.

What's even worse is that Xu Jichang's calm and deep eyes are like magic, making her unable to look away.

Even...she felt that her body was still getting slightly hot when Xu Jichang was staring at her like this.

Yes, Xia Yingxue was very sure that this was from the heat inside her body, not from the fire.

"I see."

Xia Yingxue closed her eyes and said with trembling red lips, "Please... please let me go!"

Xia Yingxue said these words with the last of her rationality.

Neither her external conditions nor her self-esteem allowed her to become one of Xu Jichang's many women.

Because that would break her bottom line too much!

Xu Jichang looked at Xia Yingxue's struggling expression and spread his hands helplessly: "I'm not forcing you, you can leave if you want."

"If you want to go back to the guest house, go back. If you feel it's cold there, just stay here."

Xia Yingxue stood up immediately: "I'm going back."

"Let's go back."

Xu Jichang said confidently.

The real departure is always without saying a word.People who clamor to leave want you to keep her.

But Xu Jichang chose not to keep Xia Yingxue, he wanted Xia Yingxue to turn around on her own.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Xia Yingxue walked out of the living room and came to the door of the yard.

hiss……

It's so cold today.

When she walked out of the yard, a gust of cold wind blew on Xia Yingxue, causing her to shiver from the depths of her soul.

Even though it stopped snowing today, the temperature was even lower than when it snowed. Her coat looked extremely thin in this temperature.

Xia Yingxue really doubted that she would freeze to death if she walked to the guest house of the fertilizer factory like this.

As the saying goes, a good horse never turns back to eat grass, but you can't just think about it and go down a dead end.

Xia Yingxue hesitated in her heart, and finally returned to the yard obediently when another gust of cold wind blew.

Of course, she didn't go back to Xu Jichang's house, but turned around and went to her room.

She had just made a strong statement that she wanted to leave, but returning to him now would be a bit too challenging for Xia Yingxue's bottom line.

In the room, Xu Jichang watched Xia Yingxue's movements of opening and closing the door clearly, and smiled inwardly.

This woman, after all, knows what is good and what is bad.

At least I wasn't strong enough to brave the white-haired wind back to the dormitory, so that I would have to be prepared to find her, lest she freeze to death in the snow.

After all, on a day like this, everyone is at home and there is no one on the street in broad daylight. The probability of someone freezing to death outside is definitely zero.

After dealing with Xia Yingxue and getting her compromise, Xu Jichang got up and went to the next bedroom to see Lan Qimei.

I saw Lan Qimei lying on the bed. She opened her eyes after hearing his footsteps and wanted to get up from the bed: "I'll make breakfast for you."

"No, you should have a good rest today."

Xu Jichang pressed her shoulders and said, "You feel a lot better, don't you?"

"I feel better."

Lan Qimei felt Xu Jichang's warmth and care, and said with a shy smile, "You don't have to worry about me so much."

"I don't care about you."

Xu Jichang covered her with a quilt and said, "You can sleep a little longer."

Lan Qimei obediently retreated into bed again.

At this time, Shen Danrui's voice came from the door: "Jichang, what are you doing?"

Xu Jichang got up from the bed and walked to the door: "There is nothing to do, Qimei is sleeping."

"oh oh."

Shen Danrui lowered her voice and entered the room with him, "I want to tell you something."

"Say it."

"I went home the day before yesterday, and Qingrui said she wanted to borrow a book from you."

"I didn't expect it was snowing so hard and I couldn't come, so I asked her if it was OK?"

"Okay, it's a good thing to love reading."

Xu Jichang looked at Shen Danrui, smiled slightly and said, "What kind of movie does Qingrui want to see?"

"Literature, novels, poetry, whatever."

"Okay, I'll get it for you."

Xu Jichang went to the bedroom, took out two books and handed them back to Shen Danrui. "Remember to put them away and don't let others see them." "Yes, I will tell Qingrui."

Shen Danrui smiled softly.

Xu Jichang looked at her smile and felt a little dazed for a moment.

Compared with this time last year, Shen Danrui today has become more mature and gentle, and her appearance has become more touching.

Xu Jichang had long wanted to eat her, but either he was busy with work and lacked opportunities, or Shen Danrui cleverly dodged it, which made Xu Jichang feel itchy.

"When the snow melts, let Qingrui and Auntie come sit down together and let's have a meal together."

Xu Jichang composed his mind, and while inviting Shen Danrui to sit down in front of the fireplace, he said to her, "I want to eat your rice bowl."

"Okay, I told them to ask my mother to cook you a rice bowl."

Shen Danrui sat in front of the fireplace and happily agreed, "By the way, let me tell you another good news. I have been awarded an intermediate professional title."

"Oh? That's really congratulations to you. It must be an unusual comment, right?"

Xu Jichang asked.

"Yes, it usually takes three years. I am the fastest in the station."

Shen Danrui said proudly, puffing up her plump chest.

"Are you ready to take root and develop here?"

Xu Jichang had a thought and asked her.

Shen Danrui was stunned by his question and fell into deep thought.

"have a look."

She replied solemnly, "Who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

Xu Jichang nodded without refuting.

In fact, most people like Shen Danrui are extremely pragmatic and answer "I don't know" most of the time when facing the future.

After all, there are only a few people who like to plan for the future and choose their life in advance.

This may be Shen Danrui's natural state as the eldest sister after losing her father at a young age, that is, she is very pragmatic in the face of everything and rarely aims too high.

It's good. This proves that I was right about the person.

Shen Danrui is indeed very suitable for looking at the rear, because what a man needs in the rear is stability.

"Our unit distributed some Chinese cabbage a while ago. Zhu Wei and I moved into the cellar by ourselves without telling you."

At this time, Shen Danrui's words interrupted Xu Jichang's thoughts, "If you can't go to the street to buy food and are short of food, go down and get it."

"it is good."

Xu Jichang looked at Shen Danrui, thoughtfully.

Shen Danrui understood that he had something to say, so he did not continue speaking and just looked at the ground quietly.

"If you had known about today, would you have introduced your sister to me?"

Xu Jichang broke the silence and spoke to himself.

Shen Danrui never expected that he would ask this question and could not give an answer for the moment: "This...how do you say..."

This question is too complicated.

She never expected that Xu Jichang would be with her sister, let alone... Xu Jichang would have another woman after that.

However, Shen Danrui also knew very well how much change Xu Jichang had brought to herself, her sister, and even her family.

So seriously, this question is really difficult to answer.

Xu Jifeng didn't push him even if he saw the situation.

"Don't worry, just think about it slowly."

"Um……"

Shen Danrui fell into deep thought and nodded after a long time, "I will still introduce her to you."

Xu Jichang looked at her determined and serious eyes and couldn't help but smile.

This is my woman.

"I won't treat you sisters badly."

He took Shen Danrui's soft little hand and said, "What others have, you two will have in the future."

"What others don't have, you will still have."

"puff."

Shen Danrui felt the heat from Xu Jichang's big hand and smiled shyly, "I just hope you won't be too stressed and just live a relaxed and happy life."

"I don't care about the rest."

"Ah."

Xu Jichang held Shen Danrui in his arms and greedily smelled the fragrance of her hair.

He let go of Shen Danrui when he heard the sound of Lan Qimei getting up from the bedroom next door.

When Lan Qimei walked to the living room with her coat on, Xu Jichang greeted her: "Come and warm yourself by the fire."

"Dan Rui, you're here."

Lan Qimei said hello and sat down on the other side of Xu Jichang.

"Yes, come and borrow books."

Shen Danrui agreed with a smile.

She and Lan Qimei have a good relationship, and they have mutually beneficial interactions with each other.

Shen Danrui often eats rice cooked by Lan Qimei, and Lan Qimei often uses the welfare vegetables distributed by Shen Danrui's work unit.

"I really envy you educated people, you are literate."

Lan Qimei pursed her lips and smiled, full of envy.

She had no opportunity to receive education since she was a child, and her education was limited to writing her own name and a few words.

After joining the company, she began to envy those educated cadres and workers, and her heart was filled with a yearning for knowledge.

"I can teach you how to read."

Shen Danrui took Lan Qimei's hand and said seriously.

"really?"

Lan Qimei's eyes were filled with joy and hope, and her eyes were bright.

"When Dan Rui is busy at work, I can also teach you."

Xu Jichang also said at this time.

It is not a bad thing to have many educated women around you.

Besides, he felt that with Lan Qimei's cooking skills, she shouldn't live in Dongfang Fertilizer Factory all her life.

If she learns more about culture today, she will have a lot more confidence when she goes out tomorrow.

"Then let's go and learn now? Is that okay?"

Faced with the enthusiasm of Xu Jichang and Shen Danrui, Lan Qimei was overjoyed.

"Okay, come to my room and I'll teach you."

Xu Jichang stood up and said to her.

Shen Danrui and Lan Qimei both stood up. Xu Jichang stepped forward to extinguish the flames in the fireplace and led them into the house.

With the heat from the fireplace dissipating, Xu Jichang's bedroom was not cold.

Lan Qimei brought three stools for everyone to sit on, and Xu Jichang found his middle school textbook from the bookshelf.

He originally wanted to teach Lan Qimei how to read in elementary school, but he couldn't find the textbooks at that time, so he started teaching Lan Qimei in middle school.

"This is 'Cong'zi, which means two people put together. Yes, that's right, one stroke and one stroke makes one person."

"The two of them are followers..."

Xu Jichang patiently guided and taught Lan Qimei step by step.

Lan Qimei listened carefully and quickly learned how to write Congzi from him.

"Well, my understanding is very good. Read the next word..."

Xu Jichang praised, and Lan Qimei continued to study happily.

Shen Danrui was also watching with interest, answering Lan Qimei's doubts with Xu Jichang from time to time.

With the help of the two people and her own understanding, Lan Qimei's learning progress can be said to be rapid, and she learned a dozen words in a short time.

And this scene was all seen by someone outside the window.
