Chapter 191 The complex relationship between men and women
“Let’s just keep the salary as it is. If you give too much, I’m afraid she won’t be able to accept it. Besides, starting a company is not a charity, so you can do whatever you want. Calculate it according to your ability, so that you can I am convinced. As for privately, I will pay for her accommodation." Chen Xi fell on the sofa and thought for a while before speaking.
“That’s your woman, you take care of it.”
“Haha, your words have a high artistic content.”
Dongdong just finished talking about Xiao Ming He laughed, and Chen Xi also laughed after hearing this.
At night, Chen Xi lay on the air mattress, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Dongdong's loud snoring could be heard from time to time in the living room, and this noisy sound made him feel very crazy.
He tried covering his ears with pillows, but that didn't completely block out the annoying noise.
Chen Xi sighed and looked helplessly at the ceiling.
In the darkness, his thoughts began to wander. Recalling his encounter and interaction with Xia Lian, as well as her difficult life situation, a complex emotion surged in his heart.
As time went by, Dongdong's snoring gradually became fainter and eventually disappeared into the night.
Chen Xi's eyelids also began to feel heavy, and fatigue and sleepiness gradually invaded his consciousness.
The next morning, Chen Xi rubbed his sleepy eyes and slowly got up from the air mattress.
Dongdong was still immersed in dreamland. Xiao Ming was brushing his teeth in the bathroom. When he saw Chen Xi, he raised his eyebrows and indicated the direction of the bedroom with his eyes.
"Ahem, I'm going to check on the situation." Chen Xi said softly and carefully opened the bedroom door.
Seeing Xia Lian on the bed, she had kicked off the quilt, it seemed because it was too hot. The bath towel also fell to the ground. Chen Xi scratched his head helplessly, walked over and gently covered her with the quilt.
I reached out and touched Xia Lian's forehead, and found that her forehead was covered with sweat, her hair was wet with sweat, and her face was unusually crimson.
Cold for a while, hot for a while, it’s almost like having a fever!
What that bullshit doctor said yesterday feels like a C drug.
Logically speaking, even if it is, it should be better after such a long time.
Give her some more pills. If she can't be cured, tear down that shabby outpatient clinic and cost me more than a thousand yuan.
Chen Xi poured a glass of warm water and gently helped Xia Lian up with the pills. The quilt accidentally slipped off, revealing a large area of white snow. At this time, Chen Xi had no intention to appreciate this beautiful picture.
"Xiaolian, take medicine." Chen Xi woke her up softly, put the pills in her mouth, and fed her water. After settling Xia Lian, he walked out of the room.
"Aren't you going to class today?" Xiao Ming asked looking at Chen Xi who was smoking on the balcony.
“I’m not going. I’ll finish writing my thesis at home. Xia Lian is still sick.”
"How should you deal with your situation? Over there with Shazhi..."
"I don't know, let's just wait and see."
"In ancient times, these things wouldn't be a problem for you. And I want to congratulate you, haha.”
“Stop confusing people with your nonsense, and go to work!”
“Hey, I really can’t change the company without you, I’ll call you. Get up Dongdong." Xiao Ming shook his head and knocked on the door.
"Knock it on your ass, get up." Dongdong walked out of the room with a look of displeasure.
"Have you ever talked to a boss like this?"
"I'm going to beat the boss again!"
"Hero, spare your life!"
Meeting Regarding Dongdong's raised fist, Xiao Ming quickly begged for mercy.
"You two, don't wake up Xia Lian."
"You two, don't wake up Xia Lian~"
Dongdong imitated Chen Xi's words angrily.
"I've never seen you care so much, and you don't care so much about Saori, either." Dongdongpi said with a smile.
"Uh..." Dongdong's words made Chen Xi blush a little. As Saori's boyfriend, he felt that he was a little careless.
Facing a woman with whom he had only had sex once, his level of concern seemed to be beyond the ordinary range, which made him feel something was wrong.
This situation seems to have happened somewhere.
It seems to be a child...
Chen Xi finally figured out the reason. That was another girl, his first love in China, and she was also a girl whose family environment was not very good. For some reason, the two eventually lost contact.
He was so kind to Xia Lian, probably because he saw the shadow of his first love in her. People say that first love is the most fatal to a man, and he is no exception.
Hey, where is she?
Chen Xi lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and looked up at the floating clouds in the sky.
That girl is like this cloud, floating to nowhere.
“I’m going to buy some food.”
“Let’s go together, let’s go to the company to have a look.”
Chen Xi drove to Box Hill. He wanted to buy a bowl of porridge and take a look at Lao Zhang. He hadn't seen this guy for a long time. Last time I heard that the barbecue had started, and he didn't know how the business was going.
“Oh my god, there are so many people.”
BoxHillCentral, the fruit juice shop next to the original pancake shop has recently undergone new changes.
Now, this store has been fully occupied, and the surrounding area is crowded and lively.
The shop's signboard clearly reads "Tiantian Cooked Food", attracting the attention of many passers-by.
Chen Xi squeezed into the crowd and found that the store's dazzling array of shelves contained not only fragrant mutton skewers, but also braised duck wings, chicken feet and other cooked foods.
The prices of these foods are not cheap, but there is an endless stream of people buying them.
In the past, ingredients such as chicken feet and duck wings were not popular in the eyes of foreigners and were even regarded as waste.
However, as the Chinese community continues to grow, foreigners are gradually realizing the market potential of these foods.
Although the raw material prices of these foods are not high, after careful processing and cooking, their value has been greatly enhanced, and the price has also risen accordingly.
"Today's event will give you cold dishes for those who are over 30, and buy ten mutton skewers and get one free." Lao Zhang stood in front of the counter of the new store and shouted with a smile.
"Hey, rare customer~" Seeing Chen Xi in the crowd, Lao Zhang quickly said hello and walked out of the store.
"You can do that! The business is better than the pancake shop."
"That's not your idea. I opened another shop next to it, specializing in selling some home-cooked food. Some people don’t like eating out, so they buy them back. “Yes, yes, give me two portions of porridge and fried dough sticks, and then some mutton skewers.”
"Okay, okay, I'm treating you."
"I like to eat free food, free food tastes the best!"
Chen Xi was not polite to Lao Zhang, looking at people happily Guests coming and going.
“Here, your porridge and mutton skewers are not sprinkled with chili pepper, I understand! What about the milk tea you mentioned last time?”
After a while, Lao Zhang delivered the packed food Come over.
"Didn't you say you would do it step by step last time? Let's talk about it then. My girlfriend also wants to do it, let's see if there is any chance of cooperation."
"Okay, I just like working with beautiful women."
“Fuck you, forget it The whole thing is on my head."
"Let's go first. By the way, Alin was hospitalized after a car accident. You have a chance to go and see him."
"Let's talk about it later. The boy has a strong bone and cannot die!”
"..."
Chen Xi led the food and walked to the parking lot with a smile.
"Chen Xi? Why don't you go to class today?"
"Uh... I have something to do, so you didn't go either."
Just when Chen Xi was about to The moment he stepped into the elevator, a familiar voice stopped him.
He turned around and saw Li Yuqing, who looked slightly haggard.
She had a pair of obvious dark circles under her eyes, and she looked like she hadn't had a good rest.
The little hand hid the two plastic bags behind his back with some uneasiness. Chen Xi caught a glimpse of two bags in the bag, which seemed to be second-hand.
"I'll go in a minute and take care of some more things. I'll go to school with you later." Li Yuqing said a little coyly, with a hint of embarrassment and uneasiness in her voice. Her eyes were evasive, not daring to look directly into Chen Xi's eyes, as if she was hiding something.
“No, I still have something to do.”
"What is more important than class?"
"My friend is sick."
"Saori?"
"...No, other friends."< br>
"Chen Xi, are you...a girl?"
"Let's go, bye."
He didn't want to explain more, so he waved his hand and ran away.
"Girl...not Shazhi...huh?"
Li Yuqing watched Chen Xi's retreating back, a hint of keenness flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to have captured some useful information from it. information.
"Xiao Lian, come for dinner, there are mutton skewers~"
When I got home and opened the bedroom door, Xia Lian was still asleep.
Chen Xi gently woke up Xia Lian. She half-opened her eyes weakly, with a trace of confusion in her eyes.
When she saw the mutton skewers swinging in Chen Xi's hand, although she felt a desire for domestic food in her heart, her weak body left her with no appetite.
In Tu'ao, domestic delicacies like mutton kebabs are basically hard to find, so Xia Lian has always missed this taste.
Chen Xi brought a bowl of porridge to Xia Lian and fed it to her carefully.
Although Xia Lian had no appetite, she still managed to drink a few mouthfuls of porridge to nourish her body. Chen Xi's concern and care made her feel a little warm and comforted.
"You have a good rest, I'm outside, call me if you need anything."
"Yes."
Xia Lian nodded obediently, lay down and closed her eyes. Eye.
Chen Xi shook his head, walked to the balcony, lit a cigarette, and took a deep breath.
Originally, she wanted to call Saori, but she hesitated and put down her phone.
I felt uneasy and felt that I had done something sorry for Saori.
Turning on the computer, this paper was naturally about what happened at VictoriaMarket last time, and I suddenly thought of Li Yuqing, whom I had just met.
Recently, Li Yuqing's behavior has indeed been a bit strange. She no longer pesters him like before, but instead behaves sneakily.
Of course he knew about Li Yuqing’s family background, but what about those two brand-name bags?
It looks like it took a lot of time.
Lack of money?
Selling second-hand bags?
An idea appeared in his mind.
The question is where did she get the money to buy the bag?
He bought those bags in the past, but in this life they are not boyfriend and girlfriend, and Li Yuqing does not have a boyfriend.
Thinking of this, Chen Xi suddenly realized something.
He now feels like eating Xiang. Before Li Yuqing dated him in her last life, she was probably not clear with other men.
At that time, my mind was completely attracted by gambling, and I did not pay special attention to Li Yuqing.
The relationship between them as boyfriend and girlfriend was also formed inexplicably by chance.
"What the hell, what am I doing, getting together with a sea queen? If I had a spare tire when we were dating, then I wouldn't be a cuckold?"
Chen Xi felt a little unhappy and shook his head. He shook his head and started typing on the keyboard.
No, I feel a little sorry for Saori. It seems that I also have the signs of becoming a scumbag.
Damn, the relationship between men and women is really complicated.
