half-baked life

Chapter 75 Can you stop calling me "Boss Gu"?

Gu Xia specially asked the special car to go around from the back door of the community, and sure enough, from a distance, he saw Jiang He holding an umbrella and squatting under the tree to feed the cat.

This was what he discovered by accident. What was in Jiang He's always bulging coat pocket was not a spare phone or snacks, but a large canned cat.

"Boss Gu, what do you think of what I just said?" Gu Xia was squinting to study the brand of canned cats. Jiang He closed the marker in his hand with a click and asked.

In fact, at the beginning, the person in charge of training was Zhang Jiefang. Gu Xia had rich experience as a student, but it was obviously Zhang Jiefang's first time as a teacher.

She stood in front of the whiteboard, looking at the only student below. She was so nervous that she was sweating profusely. She spoke as fast as a top rapper. She finished reading the whole day's course content in half an hour. Gu Xia was so stunned that she didn't understand a single word. .

"I think...it's very well said, really."

Gu Xia immediately pretended to listen attentively, frowned and nodded, then picked up a pen and scribbled on the notebook in front of him.

Jiang He watched him write for a while, then raised his hand with unusual consideration and gently pressed the end of the push-type gel pen in Gu Xia's hand. The moment the pen tip popped out, Gu Xia's nose started to sweat. .

"It's too boring to talk about, isn't it?"

Before Jiang He finished speaking, alarm bells were already ringing in Gu Xia's mind, fearing that the next part of Jiang He's sentence would be "Then don't force it."

"No, it's fine. It's... it's my problem. I... I have adult ADHD!"

Of course Gu Xia was talking nonsense. Although Gu Jianhui always thought that he had ADHD, "like a nail under his butt and couldn't sit still," Gu Xia felt that his behavior was not deception, but a white lie at best.

He acted to the fullest, and even flipped through his phone in a serious manner, trying to find the non-existent medical certificate.

At that time, he just wanted to get rid of this problem quickly, but Jiang He unexpectedly took it seriously. First he thoughtfully extended the written test time by half an hour, and then comforted him that there is something wrong with people nowadays.

"I'm still a cancer patient." She pointed at the long scar on her neck and smiled. There were two mysteries that Gu Xia had never asked, Jiang He's "fall" from a company executive to this, and the changes in her life. Yan Su, who had completely disappeared, had a "reasonable" explanation for this.

Gu Xia walked closer with an umbrella. Through the continuous rain curtain, he recognized the cat that Jiang He fed.

It turned out to be the King Elvis here, a long-haired calico cat with stunning appearance and superb fighting ability. It was invincible in defeating all the cats. It has been around the community for a long time. It has a very unruly personality, loves freedom and wandering, and is very aggressive towards humans. Very high vigilance.

When Gu Xia met the calico cat for the first time, he was fascinated by its beauty and reached out to caress it. However, the cat's paw came down and opened his leather gloves. Gu Xia was so scared that he almost screamed.

But at this moment, the calico cat was twirling around Jiang He's feet in a charming and flattering manner, with its tail raised high and hooked on Jiang He's finger. There was no trace of Elvis' cold arrogance, just like Cat Kali's. It’s no different for ordinary part-time workers.

Gu Xia quickly took out her cell phone, wanting to take the opportunity to take a beautiful photo of the man and the cat, but was unable to do so because they were too far away, so she tiptoed forward.

As a result, as soon as he took two steps, the calico cat raised its head warily, and then rushed into the bushes on the roadside like lightning. After a few rustlings, the cat's shadow disappeared, leaving Gu Xia awkwardly holding up her mobile phone, half-crouching. There, he looked like a vulgar candid camera maniac.

"Kitten Jiang is a little afraid of people." Jiang He saw Gu Xia and explained. Then he placed the ceramic cat bowl with cans on the steps aside and held the transparent plastic umbrella in his hand over it.

"...Ginger Kitty?" Gu Xia didn't expect that Elvis Presley actually had a name. It sounded like he was the same generation as Jiang He's mother?

"I took it for her without permission, and it hasn't been approved by her yet." Jiang He said as he put the sweater and hat on his head. Gu Xia quickly held an umbrella and came over, covering most of Jiang He's umbrella. Above his head, Jiang He glanced at the tan-colored leather jacket with a waisted waist, raised the corners of his mouth without any trace, and then thanked him, and the two walked side by side.

Although Gu Xia made a bet with Li Mingchu to catch up with Jiang He in three months, she actually had no idea at all. Jiang He's attitude towards him was polite and distant. As of now, the two of them can't even be considered friends.

But Jiang He was obviously a little different today. Gu Xia found that Jiang He had been peeking at him. He was secretly happy. After accurate calculation, he lowered his head and looked at Jiang He. Sure enough, their eyes "just happened" to collide.

Jiang He obviously didn't expect that she would be caught red-handed. She stood still awkwardly with a rather hesitant look on her face, and Gu Xia couldn't help but become nervous.

"Boss Gu, I...I want to ask you a favor."

Jiang He took a deep breath before continuing, "Just...can you please meet with my grandma? It won't take you too long. It will only take a few minutes. Just...just a few words."

Jiang He really had no choice.

The weather has not been good recently, and it has been rainy and rainy for the past two weeks. The artificial hip joint that my grandma replaced has also become sore and swollen. She is so uncomfortable that she cannot even sleep well. In addition, it is raining and she cannot go downstairs for a walk. Grandma's mood became more and more restless.

The night before yesterday, he lost his temper so much that he insisted on going home. He even dragged his suitcase out from under the bed. "I've been stuck in this room every day, and a person in jail can go out and have some fun!"

No matter how Jiang He and Zhang Jiefang tried to persuade her, grandma refused to listen. After eating the weight, she was determined to go back. In the end, Jiang Xiaoping's bad idea took effect.

"It's okay if you want to go back. Jiefang will accompany you, so I have nothing to worry about. That's right... He'er just contacted Boss Gu and agreed to come see you in two days. You can leave now. , It’s really a pity.” Jiang Xiaoping sighed sadly.

"Is it true, He'er? Your mother is deceiving me, right?" Liang Xiujing's eyes suddenly lit up, but her tone was still doubtful.

"Of course...it's true. I wanted to give you a surprise, but you wanted to leave!"

Jiang He's acting skills were really poor compared to her mother's, but Liang Xiujing, who was obviously already on top, didn't notice it at all.

"Then I won't leave." From that day on, Liang Xiujing went to bed early and got up early every day, exercised seriously, and waited and looked forward to meeting Boss Gu. Jiang He put it off again and again, and finally couldn't put it off anymore.

From the very beginning, Jiang He had determined that Gu Xia would have to run away after a few days, so he never mentioned his problem to his grandma. During this period, she had been "cold and cold" to others. At least it was "official business", but now I'm blaming others for personal matters. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't embarrassing.

"Okay." Gu Xia agreed happily, but then changed the subject, "But I have a request."

"...Okay, tell me."

"Jiang He, can you please stop calling me 'Boss Gu'? It sounds weird. Just call me Gu Xia." Gu Xia slightly bent over and approached Jiang He.

"That's it?" Jiang He was a little surprised. She thought Gu Xia would "take advantage of the situation" and at least ask her to become an official experiencer.

"That's it." Gu Xia, who had no idea that she had been saved by the "villain's heart", nodded, "If you agree, I will go see my grandma now."
