Chapter 20 Desolate Xia Shiyu

"...Are you alright?" Looking at Jiang Chen who was approaching, Xia Shiyu bit her lip, not knowing what to say, and finally squeezed out this sentence.

"There's something wrong, I've suffered a little injury." Jiang Chen cheekily pointed to the small hole on the side of his cheek. If Jiang Chen hadn't pointed it out, no one would have discovered such a small wound.

"I, I'll help you deal with it." Xia Shiyu lowered her head with some guilt. She never owes favor, but at this moment she owes so much to this person.

"Here? Saliva can kill bacteria." Jiang Chen blurted out almost subconsciously, making him a little surprised.

Huh? How did Lao Tzu become so eloquent.

"...I have alcohol and gauze in my room." Xia Shiyu coldly faced Jiang Chen's molestation.

"Don't look at me like that, anyway, I'm your new creditor." Jiang Chen raised his hand with a smile, and shook the IOU between his fingers, "Look. But I'm fine with everything, but I'm a little too kind. You won't be charged any interest."

Is there anyone more narcissistic than this guy... Xia Shiyu looked at Jiang Chen, who was smug. While speechless, she was also confused. Is this still the original Diaosi who didn't even dare to meet her eyes? What is the wrong medicine...

"I will pay you back, along with the interest." Xia Shiyu bowed her head in gratitude, and assured Jiang Chen in a firm tone, but immediately opened her mouth with some hesitation, adding, "According to the normal interest rate."

At the usury interest rate, she really has no certainty that she will be able to pay it back.

Jiang Chen shrugged and said nothing. He is very aware of this strong woman's character, and once he confirms it, it will never change.

"That, Xia Shiyu."

"Hey!" Xia Shiyu quickly turned around and responded when she heard the shop owner greet him.

"This is half a month's salary for you...I'm sorry, but I really can't afford to offend those people, so you can do it...you won't have to go to work tomorrow." The boss looked hard. As he spoke, he gritted his teeth, but still said the very ruthless words.

Almost a pleading tone.

After taking the envelope containing the money, Xia Shiyu nodded stunnedly, looking at the closed flower shop with dodging and suspicious eyes... This place where she had been working for half a month. For some reason, she wanted to cry.

Is this the first time today? It was the first time that Xia Shiyu was so vulnerable.

"Rejected?" Jiang Chen teased, watching his boss get fired again, why does it feel so good?

Xia Shiyu ignored Jiang Chen's teasing, just bit her lip and gave him a complicated look, then turned around and walked home. Jiang Chen consciously followed behind, because Xia Shiyu had said that he wanted to help him deal with the wound.

Although the wound was about to stop bleeding by now, curiosity to see what the former boss lived like still prevailed. It's boring to be idle anyway, isn't it?

Hehehe, Jiang Chen snickered secretly, he felt that he was really bad. She was almost catching up with Sun Jiao's little girl.

Stepping on the stairs covered with black moss, Jiang Chen frowned. He was a little surprised that there was such an old house in Wanghai City. And the crack in the wall doesn't look like a place to live.

When Xia Shiyu took out the key and unscrewed the rusted iron door, Jiang Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly.

This little girl is really strong,

It would be absolutely unbearable to be another girl.

What's more, it's still such a beautiful girl, putting down her figure and acting like a spoiled child, I'm afraid that 500,000 yuan is really not a big problem.

Such a good face was all ruined by that stinky temper, hehe.

There is personality, and then the eggs!

There was a faint musty smell at the door, but after entering the door, it was much better. The smell of the air freshener was obvious, and it could be seen that this little girl, Xia Shiyu, sprayed a lot of this stuff. This approach of treating the symptoms rather than the root causes has a sense of helplessness.

The house is very small, much smaller than Jiang Chen's low-rent house. The living room and kitchen are next to each other, and there is only one bedroom that is not very spacious. There is no TV in the living room, there is only a wooden table that looks a few years old, and the chairs are also very old-fashioned. Maybe they can make some money by selling them as antiques? Not to mention things like sofas and coffee tables.

There is no ceiling fan on the roof, and naturally there is no air conditioner on the wall. There is only a fan that is plugged in and placed in the corner. The most valuable electrical appliance here should be the stainless steel kettle. Did you bring it from home when you escaped debt?

The laptop on the table should be her own, but obviously there will be no wifi here, so what's the use of having a computer?

Jiang Chen noticed the two pairs of women's shoes neatly placed at the door. A woman only has two pairs of shoes, no matter how you think about it, it is somewhat unlikely. It seems that she must have escaped here in a hurry, not even bringing a few pairs of shoes.

Although the environment is simple, it can be seen that it has been carefully cleaned.

"Sorry, it's a bit crude. Just sit down." Xia Shiyu said stiffly. It was Xia Shiyu's first time to bring a man he didn't know very well to his home.

Even her ex-boyfriend, she always stopped him at the door. Being alone with a man made her feel uncomfortable all over. Perhaps it is this excess sense of self-protection that makes her have no one to rely on when she is in distress.

After saying that, Xia Shiyu turned around and walked into the small bedroom.

Jiang Chen picked up a stool and sat on it carelessly, but he almost fell.

His mother's, the legs of the stool are lame... Jiang Chen scolded secretly and sat on a different stool.

Soon, Xia Shiyu came out with a small bottle of alcohol and a cotton swab.

"Where?" He asked very mechanically, both his movements and his demeanor were stiff.

"Here...you really want..." Jiang Chen smiled wryly, he actually just wanted to tease this former female boss, but he didn't expect that she actually took out a bottle of alcohol.

"I said I would help you deal with the wound." Xia Shiyu took a deep breath and moved closer to Jiang Chen's face.

On the contrary, Jiang Chen felt a little embarrassed, and his hands on both sides seemed to be moving back and forth without knowing where to put them.

"Don't move." Xia Shiyu frowned slightly and glared at Jiang Chen, who was not very calm.

"Okay..." Jiang Chen smiled bitterly again.

Very fragrant, a scent of gardenia lingered on the tip of Jiang Chen's nose. There was no jewelry on the fair neck, Jiang Chen vaguely remembered that there should be a necklace here. Because he was leaning over, the neckline of the cool summer dress revealed a vaguely ambiguous gully. Although it is estimated to be only B, compared to Sun Jiao's 36D, it is not enough to look at, but the willow waist that is held together with the Ying Ying is better than a small and fresh beauty on the whole.

Both the figure and the face are goddess-level, which is very humiliating to say, Jiang Chen once fantasized about her wearing black and silk...cough.

The black hair in the impression was tied behind the head, but at the moment, the long black hair was tied into a ponytail in a refreshing manner, which made Jiang Chen feel a little dazed for a while. Is this Xia Shiyu dressed as a female college student who just left the campus, or the urban white-collar worker who looks so capable?

"What are you looking at?" Noticing Jiang Chen's staring eyes, Xia Shiyu couldn't help shouting, but she still had that cold, protective expression on her face.

"No, nothing." Jiang Chen touched his nose awkwardly.

The wound treatment has been completed, but the eyes of the two people are on each other.

Time seems to stand still...

so awkward...

"Okay, it smells so good. Ha, ha ha..." Jiang Chen scratched his head with a forced smile, breaking the silence.

Xia Shiyu was stunned for a moment, a blush appeared on her cheeks, her icy expression loosened slightly, but her eyes soon became colder.

"...It's the smell of gardenias. Maybe it was pollen at work." Xia Shiyu frowned, sniffed the cuffs, spoke quickly, and quickly packed up the alcohol bottle and the Cotton swab, hurriedly returned to the bedroom.

Her heart was beating so fast... Holding down her undulating chest, Xia Shiyu stood by the bedside table and panted slightly, looking at herself in the mirror with a complicated expression. She didn't know what happened to her to be so rude.

Heart beating so fast... Jiang Chen touched his chest in surprise.

I must have taken a fancy to this chick... However, Jiang Chen quickly rejected this idea and attributed it to the natural reaction of hormones.

Compared with the kind of beauties with a cold face, he prefers Sun Jiao's kind of beauties who are lively, with big breasts, sometimes domineering, sometimes small women... Of course, it would be better if they weren't so domineering, cough cough .

Xia Shiyu walked out of the bedroom not long after, interrupting Jiang Chen's wild thoughts. Xia Shiyu sat opposite Jiang Chen, but there was no dialogue between the two. Silence lingered between the two of them, and the only thing that was not calm was the clack of the clock, and the heartbeat that only each of them could hear.

"Thank you..." Xia Shiyu was the first to break the silence.

"No thanks, I just happened to be passing by..." Jiang Chen lied. In fact, he went to her today with bad intentions, but after hearing the news that she had left, he left indifferently. .

But speaking of it, he really didn't expect that this stubborn woman would actually thank him.

"You," Xia Shiyu paused for a while, bit her lower lip lightly, and after a moment of hesitation, she asked the confusion in her heart, "Don't you hate me?"

This question did not surprise Jiang Chen. He was also asking himself this question: Do I still hate her?

"I hated it." However, in the end, the words that had been woven in his mind for a long time only turned into these short words. Jiang Chen looked at Xia Shiyu's eyes with some complexity and opened his mouth.

Then why save me?

This sentence was not asked, but Jiang Chen was unexpectedly able to read the question stuck in her throat from her eyes.

Jiang Chen asked himself that he hated her, that she had quit him and made him almost live on the streets, almost unable to eat. He has not been stingy with the most vicious curses, nor the most vulgar insults... But these are all over.

Yes, many things are not a thing after venting. Life still had to go on, and Jiang Chen was living well now, so there was no reason to hate her anymore.

"There isn't much reason," Jiang Chen sighed and shook his head, "To be honest, I heard that you were fired, I was quite gloating. You should have seen that this dress is in that dress. Store-bought. However...I suddenly found myself quite naive."

"Childish...?" Xia Shiyu whispered the word, she was confused by what Jiang Chen said, her cold eyes were full of confusion.

If Jiang Chen humiliated her severely, or even beat her, it would make her feel better. However, the man who had been pushed into a desperate situation by her, did nothing at the moment, but pulled her when she was killed.

why...

"Even if I get revenge on you, can I get any compensation?" Jiang Chen shook his head, "To be honest, the pleasure of revenge is very refreshing. But if you watch a beautiful woman being forced by a rogue to redeem her debt, And I have the ability to stop all this, but I just stand on the sidelines and gloat at the misfortune. I am afraid that the guilt after the pleasure is not small... Not to mention that I am an acquaintance, and there is no irreconcilable deep hatred between us. It is just a job That's all... Even if you give me that job back now, I'm afraid I won't look down on it."

It was just a job. Compared with what he lost, Jiang Chen asked himself that he had gained a lot. If it wasn't for drinking because he lost his job, he wouldn't have passed that path drunkenly, and wouldn't have gotten that leap bracelet that would bring him endless wealth...

Sai Weng loses his horse and knows it is not a blessing.

It has to be said that fate is so magical.

"...After I will resign you, I thought a lot," Xia Shiyu looked at Jiang Chen with a complicated expression, "Perhaps, as the facts have proved, I am not a qualified manager."

"Your ability is worthy of recognition, but you don't understand people's hearts." Jiang Chen smiled.

"The human mind? Do you mean psychology?"

"No, no, it's not the kind of thing that can be written in textbooks... The human heart, even if it takes a lifetime, no one can really figure it out..."

The two sat at the table and reminisced like good friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time. Although there is no tea and nothing to be called a pleasing sight, Jiang Chen who is sitting here has indeed gained a sense of comfort that he has never gotten this day.

Yes, consumption is cool, and eating a big meal is fun...but it's still a bit lonely.

In this overwhelmed city, there is not even a friend who can talk for a long time. Perhaps this is what Jiang Chen really desires. The buddies in the same dormitory went their separate ways after graduating, the classmates who had a crush on him also returned to their hometown to get married, and the counselors who drank together began to deal with the new class, and everyone was like clockwork.

This humble hut brought him a rare peace and satisfaction.

Perhaps this is fate's reward for kindness?
