The bus arrived at the bustling city quickly. Li Xinzhi, Ji Qingjue and Song Zhiyao got off at the Lingjing Shopping Center in the central area. This is the largest shopping center in Linhai City. It not only has a rich variety of products, but also has many famous brands.
It seems that they want to enjoy the last carnival of summer. Many young men and women wear gorgeous and cool youth clothes and walk happily on the pedestrian street of the shopping center.
After all, in a few days, they have to go back to school and wear the uniform uniforms. Moreover, the temperature in Linhai has dropped rapidly since September. This is the last chance to wear these clothes.
Ji Qingjue is a little envious of them for being able to enjoy their youth so freely.
In addition to studying, she also works part-time this summer vacation.
Of course, except for those who are designated as orphans, they can go to restaurants without age restrictions to be chefs.
She is also very good at writing and copywriting.
She often takes orders online to make money.
Although she can support her life and studies with these efforts, Ji Qingjue often feels tired like a wheel, spinning non-stop.
However, a strange lady came to me and said that she was from an agency and that she was a rough diamond, a natural idol seed, and wanted Ji Qingjue to work in the agency she led.
However, I have always had an instinctive aversion to such a gift from heaven. After all, I also have the idea of relying on my own independence, rather than relying on selling my beauty to the public.
However, Ji Qingjue still couldn't resist the enthusiasm of that lady, Ms. Nan Jin, so she agreed to try out her voice and record a CD to earn some extra money. After all, she was considering where she would go after Grandma Zhiyun sold her house.
In order to have a place to live before going to college, I was tempted by the reward and agreed to Ms. Nan Jin. The result was not bad? It seemed that the recording production staff at that time stood up and applauded me.
I was also nervous and accepted the generous reward. At the same time, I trained myself with free vocal lessons every week. Ms. Nan Jin was also very excited and enthusiastic and told me that I could sign the contract at any time after I thought about it.
This was also the reason why I had the confidence to move out of the other building that day. However, I don’t want to think too much about it now. I just want to spend the rest of the summer with my two partners.
"Qingjue, what's wrong with you? Why are you walking so slowly?"
"Are you feeling unwell?"
Li Xinzhi and Song Zhiyao's worried voices came, they stopped and looked at him, and Ji Qingjue, who felt warm in his heart because of this behavior, hurriedly ran up.
Yes, why think so much, don't you have your partner now, and you will never abandon him no matter what?
"Sorry, sorry, I'm a little slow in thinking. By the way, do you want to drink some drinks?"Ji Qingjue hurried over and wanted to take out the juice drink he had just prepared for the two of them to share, as well as sandwiches. After all, he knew how expensive the food in this place was, so he didn't dare to spend money carelessly.
"Well, thank you, Qingjue. It's noon now. It's time to rest. Let's go to the public rest area and sit down."Li Xinzhi smiled and thanked Ji Qingjue, and pointed to the public area not far from the front forest. They had just been in the car for several hours, and it was the hottest noon, so they naturally had to rest well.
"Yes, let's take a break before going shopping! We still have to go to Sakio Park in the afternoon! Haha, I'm so happy!"Song Zhiyao was concerned about his companion's physical strength, but he couldn't help being happy. After all, it was a rare opportunity to go out and have fun.
Ji Qingjue nodded, and followed the three of them to the public rest area, which was very humane and provided public seats and air conditioning. It was a good place to rest.
After finding an empty seat and sitting down, the three of them seemed to be relieved, enjoying the rare rest. The sun was still a little hot at noon, and they felt like lying on the bed and having fun.
"Come on, don't drink so fast!" Ji Qingjue took out the thermos, which contained fruit tea made with apples and strawberries, and added smoothies to increase the taste. While pouring the tea for the three of them with paper cups, Ji Qingjue also reminded them to drink slowly. After all, the weather was too hot and drinking the cold tea in one breath was not good for the body.
"It tastes good. It’s really good with Qingjue around!"
"It's delicious, ma'am!"
After the two drank the water happily, they thanked Ji Qingjue for the well digger. After all, they thought they were both extravagant, and it was a blessing to have such a meticulous and capable companion.
"Yeah, yeah……"Ji Qingjue shyly turned her head away. Although the two people's reactions were always a bit exaggerated, she didn't dislike this kind of enthusiastic thanks. She felt like she was getting something in return.
"By the way, Qingjue, are you going to go shopping there later?" Song Zhiyao bit his sandwich and asked his friend about the route he would take. After all, he had finally come here, so he had to spend some money. After all, his father, although tough, still secretly gave him a lot of pocket money.
"Well, are you going to pick out some cabinets? After all, Qingjue, I want to hear your opinion too." Li Xinzhi also looked at Ji Qingjue expectantly. After all, he had already decided to let Ji Qingjue take charge of the housework, and he also wanted her to choose something she liked.
""Well... no, I'm a little tired. I'll wait for you here!" Ji Qingjue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and refused. She knew that these partners would give priority to her and pay for the things she wanted to buy, but she didn't like it.
She wanted to get along with them on a more equal footing, and... she didn't know what she liked. After years of hard work, Ji Qingjue was rarely interested in things that could bring her happiness.
In addition to being short of money, more importantly, she was afraid that if she indulged in these things that wore down her will, she would stop moving forward.……
"Sunny……"As if she had seen through her partner's thoughts, Song Zhiyao was a little worried. When she wanted to persuade her, Li Xinzhi patted her on the shoulder and stopped her.
"Well, Qingjue, you've worked hard, Zhiyao, let's go shopping first, see you later, Qingjue." Li Xinzhi stood up and was about to leave for the market. At the same time, he pulled Song Zhiyao up and wanted to go together, and nodded to Ji Qingjue.
"Well, see you later. I'll be waiting for you here.……"As if sensing the sympathy of this friend, Ji Qingjue waved his hand, signaling a temporary farewell, and then took out the library book from his bag and started reading it. After all, this was one of his few entertainment books.
"Wait, Xinzhi, why didn't you ask Qingjue to come over?"
"Do you think she is willing? However, what does Qingjue like? After receiving so much care from her, I have to give her a gift."
"Hmm...it seems like she doesn't have much entertainment in her daily life. But she seemed to like listening to music on a cassette player before, but after it broke, she didn't listen to music much anymore.……"
"Tape player?"
"Well... I heard that her mother left it to her... and she seemed to like listening to it.……"
The afternoon sun finally weakened the ultraviolet rays, and the breeze blew at the right time. After Ji Qingjue gathered the hem of her skirt, she slowly turned the pages of the paperback. The cut she had suffered in the morning had almost healed.
Ji Qingjue touched the tightly bound bandage, feeling a little happy, and even a little reluctant to untie it. After all, that kind of care was a bit like honey to her.
But suddenly, the wind stopped, and the footsteps also stopped a little. Ji Qingjue noticed that many eyes were cast towards her, and there was even the sound of cameras clicking.
Ji Qingjue was a little shy, and picked up the book to cover her face, because she was the type who was a little thin-skinned, and she had an instinctive aversion to the camera, so she had always rejected Ms. Nan Jin's invitation, because if she wanted to do it, she had to achieve perfection, and she didn't want to disappoint anyone.
However, her behavior caused even more commotion. Ji Qingjue even observed that many people wanted to get close to her. She felt a little uneasy, and when she instinctively wanted to leave here, a familiar voice called her.
"Qing Jue?"
"Senior Qingshu?"
A handsome boy with a middle-parted hairstyle but a very gentle face called out to her. Ji Qingjue immediately recognized who he was. He was an awkward acquaintance. He was the senior Liu Qingshu who had confessed to her before and was rejected by her. Ji Qingjue met him in her first year of college. At that time, she didn't know much about the school and was helped by this senior. However, he seemed to be overly enthusiastic and always looked for her to chat, so bad rumors spread.
Ji Qingjue, who was very sensitive about this issue, took the initiative to avoid him, but he still took the initiative to find her and confessed to her, but Ji Qingjue rejected him on the spot.
Although no matter how you look at it, Liu Qingshu is a perfect boyfriend, with a rich family and handsome appearance,���Xi is good, and I heard that he recently got a place in a national university. If she chooses him, her life will surely be smooth sailing.
But Ji Qingjue knew that if she accepted this gift without anyone to rely on, she would definitely pay a price in the future. She didn't want to be a bird in a cage, like her mother who abandoned her...
But after the rejection, the senior student seemed to be quite graceful on the surface and didn't continue to pester her.
However, many rumors that were unfavorable to her and attacks on her life experience were spread one after another... Fortunately, Senior Noah helped her, used his connections to stop the spread of these rumors, and specifically talked to the source of the information, and finally ended this wave of reputation damage. Therefore, Ji Qingjue is still grateful to this senior for his attention to her.
But now that she suddenly saw this old friend, she was a little scared. After all, if she thought about it, she knew who did this good thing. Li Xinzhi and Song Zhiyao went shopping again, leaving her here alone, which was really disturbing.
"Long time no see, Qingjue, are you here alone? Do you want to have a long-awaited chat?"
"No need, Qingshu-senpai, I……"
""Qingshu, why are you walking so fast... Um... Ji Qingjue?! Why are you here?!"
Liu Qingshu greeted her gently as before, and invited her very quickly, but Ji Qingjue only felt uncomfortable. She could feel the desire for exclusivity under this smile.
So she opened her mouth to refuse and was about to leave, but a proud and strong voice came, stopping her from speaking again?
Ji Qingjue was even more upset when she saw it. The visitor was her mortal enemy, Xiao Liyin, who was also Liu Qingshu's childhood sweetheart and classmate.
She was not the kind of person who liked to cause trouble, but on the one hand, she seemed to have an irreconcilable conflict with Xiao Liyin in terms of study and appearance, and because she attracted the attention of Xiao Liyin's sweetheart, she was targeted.……
"You who rejected Qingshu, do you still want to shamelessly enjoy his tenderness?"Xiao Liyin angrily scolded Ji Qingjue, making up stories and attacking her.
"not me……"Ji Qingjue opened her mouth quickly, wanting to fight back against her doubts. She didn't want to be attacked. She was the kind of woman who was so casual.
"Liyin! It's not like that, I just haven't seen Qingjue for a long time, I'm just a little happy!"Liu Qingshu hurriedly explained, but his gentle voice, like oil poured on the fire, made the situation even more chaotic.
"Qingshu, you were hurt so deeply by her? Are you still protecting her? Sure enough, you take advantage of other people's kindness! You are worthy of being the daughter of a mistress!"Xiao Liyin seemed to be irritated, and continued to vent her anger for this childhood sweetheart. At the same time, she personally attacked Ji Qingjue.
"ah……"As if someone had hit her sore spot, her endless rebuttals were stuck. Ji Qingjue felt as if she had been electrocuted, and she couldn't stop trembling, because Xiao Liyin had said the fact that she was most afraid of, and the fact that she was most afraid to face. She couldn't stop her tears, and they were about to flow down.
"Humph~ Are you going to cry now? You are so pitiful."Xiao Liyin sneered and continued to mock Ji Qingjue, which made her feel even more uncomfortable.
Why? She was so independent and hardworking, and wanted to live an honest life, why did she still use that person's affairs to attack herself? No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get rid of other people's prejudice against her. Like a chaotic kite, Ji Qingjue's heart was as turbulent as a storm.
"Qingjue: I'm sorry, it's Liyin who went too far. Come, let's talk to Dilin and clear up the misunderstanding." As if he saw Ji Qingjue's hesitation, Liu Qingshu continued to speak in a gentle tone and said appropriate words, but continued to force himself.
Ji Qingjue couldn't help but want to retreat, but Liu Qingshu predicted her behavior, took the first step forward, and wanted to grab her hand, trying to pull herself over forcefully. Faced with this kind of coercion, Ji Qingjue became even more scared, and began to pray in her heart that someone could help her.
"It is not gentlemanly to make a lady uncomfortable like this, Qingjue, are you okay?"At the critical moment, Liu Qingshu's hand reaching out to him was caught, and his body that was about to retreat was also supported by his shoulders. Li Xinzhi suddenly appeared with a creepy smile and stopped Liu Qingshu's coercion.
"Nobuyuki……"Ji Qingjue couldn't help but call out his partner's name, and at the same time, his heart gradually calmed down. For some reason, she felt safe with his presence.
