Come To My Office After Get Off Work

Ji Lianxing felt that if she wanted to do something else, Jiang Xiaotan would definitely say it without reservation, but after thinking about it, it seemed a little unkind, so she ended the topic.

She took Jiang Xiaotan to the backyard to find cats and dogs to play with. Rats and mice were very docile. Jiang Xiaotan could touch and slap them. They basically didn't resist, and sometimes they chased after them.

The yard was filled with Jiang Xiaotan's cheerful laughter, and she was extremely happy.

Ji Lianxing sat on a stool and watched her play, running and making trouble. After nearly an hour, Xiao Tan was finally tired.

This is how children are. They have a certain amount of energy every day, and they will not be able to release it. After releasing it, they will be sleepy.

When Ji Lianxing carried Jiang Xiaotan upstairs, Jiang Shu was on the phone with Li Xiangyan. The moment the door opened, Jiang Shu cut off the phone, glanced at Jiang Xiaotan on Ji Lianxing's back, and lowered the volume. :

"She slept?"

"Um."

"Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Shu whispered, reaching out to take Jiang Xiaotan, afraid that Ji Lianxing would leave, he said, "Little Hedgehog, wait a minute."

She put Jiang Xiaotan on the bed, tucked the quilt for her, then turned around and said to Ji Lianxing, "There was an hour-long video call in the afternoon, and the work was handed over."

He seemed to be explaining why he didn't go downstairs.

"Okay, I have nothing to do now." Ji Lianxing stood at the door, not intending to enter the house.

"Wait." Jiang Shu took a piece of clothes on the bed, "I'll go down with you."

Ji Lianxing did not refuse, and the two went downstairs together, Ji Lianxing walking in front and Jiang Shu walking behind.

Jiang Shu stared at the back of Ji Lianxing's head in a daze. The light gray hair tie was tied into a ball, revealing the back of her white neck. Jiang Shu wanted to get close to her, but there was no reason to do so.

"Little hedgehog."

"Um?"

"Wait for me." Jiang Shu quickened his pace and stepped up to level with her, "You walk so fast."

There is not much space in the corridor. When the two are side by side, the shoulders will occasionally rub against the shoulders. When they touch each other, Ji Lianxing always avoids it unintentionally, but Jiang Shu will take the initiative to stick it.

They didn't speak to each other, only the sound of shoes stepping on the wooden board was heard.

The air was mixed with the smell of roses and cedar. Ji Lianxing only took a few sips, and the apex of his heart was trembling.

When she reached the first floor, the space was wider, Ji Lianxing took the initiative to distance herself, she walked towards the backyard, Jiang Shu followed behind her.

I found a man standing in the yard, playing with the cat, and only raised his head when he heard the sound, and finally saw his face clearly.

He is about thirty years old, still young, with dark skin, but with straight facial features, deep eyebrows and eyes, and very masculine.

At the moment when he saw Ji Lianxing, the man's clenched brows loosened and he smiled: "Xiao Ji!"

Ji Lianxing glanced at him, his expression unharmed, "Oh, I forgot, wasn't it night?"

The man's name is Liu Yiyang, and he is Ji Lianxing's business partner. When he first came to Lumei County, Liu Yiyang was the one who opened the first bar here, and Ji Lianxing followed him to learn how to run it.

"I have nothing to do in the afternoon, I was thinking of coming to see you."

With just such a sentence, Jiang Shu frowned, a kind of intuition from a woman, this man is 100% interested in Ji Lianxing, only a few words back and forth, the feeling of being courteous is too strong.

"But I still have to grind the beans." Ji Lianxing said that she might not have time, she looked at the big pot over the countertop, which was full of soybeans soaked in water, "Master Zhang has something to do today, I have to put the remaining beans Grind."

A full pot of beans takes an hour or two to grind.

As soon as Liu Yiyang heard it, he raised his sleeves on the spot, "I'll do it, you girls can do this." When he spoke, he also glanced at Jiang Shu, probably thinking that Jiang Shu was Ji Lianxing's friend, So he smiled and nodded to Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu had no expression on his face and ignored him.

"No, no, Xiaoyang, I'll do it myself." Ji Lianxing didn't like others to do her own business, especially Liu Yiyang, she always felt that she owed her.

She moved out of the beans, and her hands and feet were very quick. During the period, Liu Yiyang wanted to help, but she avoided it.

Liu Yiyang, who couldn't help, was helpless, "Damn, what are you doing, do we need to be so polite in our relationship?"

When Jiang Shu heard it, his face turned green, and his eyes pierced directly at Liu Yiyang, but Liu Yiyang didn't notice it, and his attention went to Ji Lianxing.

Ji Lianxing shook his head, "That, Xiaoyang. Go and rest."

"No, no!" Liu Yiyang reached out to pull Ji Lianxing, trying to grab the stone mill in her hand, Ji Lianxing was a little helpless, she could have expected Jiang Shu's reaction after seeing Liu Yiyang's enthusiasm.

But in the end, he couldn't beat him, and Shimo was finally snatched by Liu Yiyang.

He grabbed a handful of beans and put them in, started grinding the beans, and said to Ji Lianxing with a smile while grinding, "Go and sit for a while, chat with your friends for a while, and leave it to me here."

His tone was relaxed and relaxed, as if he were the master of the house.

"How do you grind this bean?" Jiang Shu walked up to Liu Yiyang and asked him.

Liu Yiyang only had time to take a good look at Jiang Shu. Sure enough, all beauties make friends with beauties?

Jiang Shu is also the type of woman who stands out in the crowd, but it is not the same as Ji Lianxing, Ji Lianxing seems to be closer, and a woman like Jiang Shu feels like an intermediate space. Without a piece of ice, it's hard to imagine what kind of man would be suitable for her.

"Damn, it's normal that you people in the city don't understand." Liu Yiyang said with a bit of confidence, "Let me tell you, just put the beans in, grind them in one direction, until the juice comes out, follow the grinding disc. Just go down and end up in this bucket."

"Oh, it's that simple." Jiang Shu had already rolled up his sleeves, "Get out of the way, I'll do it."

Ji Lianxing's expression changed slightly, "Jiang Shu, what are you doing?"

"Nothing, I want to grind."

"It sounds easy, but it's hard to do!" Liu Yiyang held the grinding disc to prevent Jiang Shu from touching it, for fear that Jiang Shu would take his credit.

From Liu Yiyang's point of view, helping Ji Lianxing is the way to get close to Ji Lianxing. The more you do for her, the more likely Ji Lianxing will accept his pursuit. What progress was made, but Liu Yiyang didn't want to give up.

"Lady, you should go to the side and rest." Liu Yiyang poked his arm, his strong biceps seemed to tell Jiang Shu: You can't do physical work.

Jiang Shu smiled instantly, so brightly that her smile looked a little scary on her iceberg face.

"What you can do, why can't I do it? Besides, Ji Lianxing's business is my business, and my business is mine." Jiang Shu unbuttoned the cuffs, folded the sleeves a few times, and quickly turned his eyes away. Mozi received it and directly knocked Liu Yiyang out.

She grabs the beans with one hand and pushes the grinder with the other in a clockwise direction.

The stone grinder is quite heavy, but Jiang Shu exercises all the year round, and his strength is not small, and it is not difficult to push.

On the contrary, Ji Lianxing was a little flustered, these two are really... what is there to compete with grinding a bean, God.

She ran to Jiang Shu, "I'll come."

"No." Jiang Shu squeezed the handle, not letting go.

Liu Yiyang was quite speechless standing aside, this woman is too blind to see, right?

Ji Lianxing couldn't, she knew that Jiang Shu was stubborn, so she could only fill her with beans, so it soon became Jiang Shu grinding the mill, Ji Lianxing filling the beans, and Liu Yiyang watching from the side.

During this period, Liu Yiyang chatted with Ji Lianxing from time to time, but Jiang Shu didn't say a word the whole time, and kept grinding the beans.

The whole big pot, the amount of thirty people, took an hour to grind. Jiang Shu didn't rest for a moment, and her hands were so numb that she almost lost consciousness.

During this period, Ji Lianxing asked countless times if she wanted to take a break, but she did not take a break until the last handful of beans fell into the stone mill, and Jiang Shu finally stopped the movement in his hand.

After grinding here, Jiang Shu let out a sigh of relief, glanced at Ji Lianxing, and asked her, "Anything else?"

The tone was so relaxed as if she was saying that she could still grind for five hours.

"It's gone, it's gone!" Ji Lianxing thought that it would be good to grind it back, and this hand must not be broken.

Liu Yiyang, who was standing beside him, clicked his tongue a few times and said with a smile, "You are not bad from this city."

Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows, "My arm strength has always been good."

Ji Lianxing didn't speak, and lowered his head to get the bucket, his face was already burning hot, as if he understood Jiang Shu's voice. This person is really... more stubborn than a cow.

In short, the beans were ground in the fastest time.

Liu Yiyang is not a vegetarian either. Since he can pursue Ji Lianxing for two years without giving up, it shows that his mental quality is quite good.

When Ji Lianxing was moving the bucket, he went to help, not treating himself as an outsider at all. When it was time for dinner again, Liu Yiyang offered to make dinner by himself:

"Xiaoji, didn't you say that the master is not at home today? I'll make dinner!"

Just as Ji Lianxing was about to refuse, Jiang Shu preemptively interjected: "Okay, you do it."

When talking, Jiang Shu put a hand on Ji Lianxing's shoulder, Ji Lianxing was startled, she wanted to escape, but Jiang Shu pressed her shoulder firmly, making her completely unable to escape.

Ji Lianxing broke free, but Jiang Shu hugged him even tighter.

"What are you doing!" Ji Lianxing lowered his voice, but his tone was somewhat angry.

"Go out and talk." Jiang Shu took the lead and said to Liu Yiyang when he left: "Then you can do it slowly, let's go up and rest for a while, and we'll have dinner later."

When the words fell, Jiang Shu took Ji Lianxing out.

When the two walked out of the backyard, Ji Lianxing came out of Jiang Shu's arms with a puzzled face.

"Jiang Shu, what are you doing? There's no need for this. He came to talk to me about things."

"So what?" Jiang Shu lowered his head to look at Ji Lianxing with a bit of displeasure in his eyes, "If he is courteous, you will let him do it?"

"..." Ji Lianxing was really choked for a moment, but quickly turned back: "What's your business with his hospitality?"

"I'm not happy." Jiang Shu stared at Ji Lianxing, his eyes were suddenly cold, and his tone was also indifferent: "I don't like you accepting other people's good, if you want to grind beans, I can grind a hundred pounds. I don't need anyone else."

Ji Lianxing: "..."

She didn't intend to ask Liu Yiyang to help, but Jiang Shu and him were on the fence, and Liu Yiyang was also very stubborn, so the two of them would definitely smell like fire and medicine.

"Jiang Shu..." Ji Lianxing's tone softened a little, and said, "Liu Yiyang helped me a lot in the past two years, how to open a bar and how to run it, all learned from him. We will look after each other and be partners.”

"Thank him then." Jiang Shu's tone was also very calm, but his attitude did not flinch, "A partner is a partner, if he wants to chase you, it's impossible."

Ji Lianxing frowned, Jiang Shu was a little too domineering, as if she was still her canary, who she contacts, who communicates with, she has her own measure, and it is not her turn to give advice.

"I can do whatever I want, figure out your position."

Jiang Shu gasped, "So can other men chase you?"

"What I'm saying is, you can't interfere with who I communicate with, understand? I'm a free man, not your canary."

Speaking of the canary, both of them were silent.

From each other's eyes to see their own stubbornness and vulnerability.

Jiang Shu was so angry, but he had no choice but to stare at her, but Ji Lianxing was not afraid at all. She stared at Jiang Shu as Jiang Shu stared at her.

"Ji Lianxing."

Ji Lianxing did not show weakness, "Why, Jiang Shu."

"Don't do it, Ji Lianxing."

"Then why are you staring at me, Jiang Shu."

"What else can I do but stare at you, Ji Lianxing."

The two said Ji Lianxing and Jiang Shu, as if calling out the other's name was a warning, but neither gave in to that warning.

Just staring at it like that, Ji Lianxing was defeated in the end, sighed and said:

"Jiang Shu, you must learn to respect me and understand me so that we can continue to get along, otherwise it is impossible."

Jiang Shu heard this. Even if he was unhappy, he couldn't say anything else. It seemed that he was too possessive to interfere with who she was in contact with.

For Jiang Shu, this is undoubtedly a huge challenge.

Ji Lianxing once belonged to her, even very obedient, but now it is not. Ji Lianxing has changed from a little hedgehog who obeyed his words to a wild hedgehog.

Or about the relationship between the two, the previous model of getting along with each other no longer works.

"Okay." Jiang Shu took his hand off Ji Lianxing's shoulder, "Then I respect you and understand you."

"Are you sure, why do you feel that you are still speaking from the top?" Ji Lianxing's eyes were tentative, trying to see the truth from Jiang Shu's eyes.

Jiang Shu was a little aggrieved, "You've already said this, what else can I do? Do you want to keep you from contacting him, and make you annoy me..."

It sounded a bit pitiful, as if it was a forced compromise, Ji Lianxing could observe the loss in her pupils.

The worst thing to see Jiang Shu like this, his heart softened suddenly, and his tone was not as strong as before:

"I mean, you can't be too controlling, I don't like it. But I'll pay attention to my own words and deeds, and I've always kept a good distance from him."

Apart from work, she and Liu Yiyang basically have no other interactions. For example, the situation just now was very rare. Most of the time, Liu Yiyang couldn't find her when he tried to find her.

It is precisely because this situation is rare that Liu Yiyang is very attentive every time, but this time he is also encountered by Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu, who got a reasonable reason, no longer pursued it, and was even secretly happy because of Ji Lianxing's explanation.

At least she explained.

"understood."

"Okay." Ji Lianxing's throat slid and he wanted to step back, but he was afraid that his actions would be too deliberate.

She found that when she and Jiang Shu were talking to each other, they were very close, and both of them were so emotional that they forgot the distance between them.

Now that the confrontation is over, it seems that if you lean forward a little bit, your face is about to collide.

Ji Lianxing almost didn't dare to breathe.

She still took a step back, but the next second Jiang Shu posted it again.

Thumping thumping, the heartbeat is slowly accelerating.

Ji Lianxing's face quickly turned red at a visual speed, and every time he breathed, he felt that the fragrance on Jiang Shu's body was fascinating.

"Little Hedgehog..." Jiang Shu was about to wrap his arms around Ji Lianxing's waist. Ji Lianxing's heart skipped a beat, then stepped back, avoiding her touch, "This is the hall."

Someone will come in at any time.

When they get along with Jiang Shu, the atmosphere will become strange, and even the air will become thinner. Ji Lianxing suppressed the panic in her heart, turned and walked upstairs, with Jiang Shu following behind her.

Every step of the stairs seems to be stepping on the heart, Ji Lianxing has a very subtle feeling.

It seems that in that second, I had that feeling with Jiang Shu, similar to that night two years ago, it was a tacit understanding, a desire from the bottom of my heart, like The fruits full of temptation always make people daydream and can't help but pick and taste.

One step at a time, one floor at a time, from the first floor to the second floor, and then from the second floor to the corner of the third floor.

She didn't know what she was doing either, but she did it.

Ji Lianxing took out the key and opened the first door in the stairwell, which was the door separating the second floor to the third floor.

She opened the door, and at the moment when she opened the door and entered, Jiang Shu hugged her from behind, wrapped her arms around Ji Lianxing's waist tightly, kicked her feet gently, and the door closed.

With a muffled sound, Jiang Shu pushed back and pushed Ji Lianxing on the door, and soon she posted it again.

The corridor was very dark, the sight became weaker, and the touch became sharper.

Jiang Shu spurted hot air from his nose, thumping on Ji Lianxing's neck, spreading a layer of warmth, it became very itchy, itchy to the heart, Ji Lianxing raised his head, his voice trembled:

"Jiang Shu..."

"Um?"

"I don't want us to be so fast." It's almost like before, she hasn't gotten to know each other well, and hastily started and ended in a hurry, she can't accept that there is a second separation.

"Well, I know." Jiang Shu hugged her tightly, resting his chin on her shoulder, "I just want to hug you."

A hug is the most direct and clear way to express your thoughts.

Jiang Shu hugged her and hugged her hard, even though they were still separated by a wall, the hug at the moment was like the two flowers snuggling up against the wall, nothing could stop this kind of miss.

Ji Lianxing didn't push her away this time. There is something in my heart that is collapsing, I am afraid, but I also think about it.

She was afraid that she would accept Jiang Shu's enthusiasm rashly again, and in the end she would not end well because of all kinds of failures.

But who can stop such a hug? Jiang Shu's embrace was still so warm, soft and sweet, like the soft bed in a sweet dream, and he couldn't extricate himself when he fell into it.

What's more, in the two years that I hated her, there was still a thief living in my heart. The thief always slipped out in the dead of night, and time and time again, he turned out the past for her to remember, making her love it and hate it.

"Okay, as you said, just hug." Ji Lianxing hugged her back, put his hand on Jiang Shu's waist, felt the curve of her body through the shirt, and his heartbeat missed another beat.

She suppressed that thought and said to Jiang Shu, "Just hold it for a minute."

"Okay." Jiang Shu gently rubbed his face on her neck, a little greedy for the smell on Ji Lianxing's body.

"Don't...don't rub."

"Yeah." Jiang Shu was also a little hot, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

The two stood in the dark without speaking, sticking together and feeling each other's thumping heartbeats, they were stable and fell into a real feeling.

Time passed quickly, and Jiang Shu was a little reluctant to part for more than a minute. In the end, Ji Lianxing came out of Jiang Shu's arms, brushed the messy hair around his ears in the dark, and said:

"You go down."

"And you?"

"I'll be alone for a while."

Ji Lianxing gently pushed Jiang Shu, Jiang Shu took two steps back. Immediately afterwards, Ji Lianxing opened the door, revealing a small gap, the light from the second floor came in, and the light fell on Jiang Shu's shoe toe.

Jiang Shu didn't want to leave, but Ji Lianxing wanted to let her go.

"Are you going to have dinner together?"

"Say more."

Jiang Shu was a little dissatisfied, "You are so indifferent, it makes me think I'm just a tool person."

Ji Lianxing: "..." She is not indifferent, but she doesn't know what to do.

I was confused and brought her to the third floor. Today I am here to hug her, will I go home to hug her tomorrow? What about the day after tomorrow? Is it what Jiang Xiaotan said, he will take it home in a month?

"Little Hedgehog... You were never so indifferent before." Jiang Shu's tone was pitiful, although he was probably pretending.

Ji Lianxing rubbed her temples, her heartbeat was still fast, she wanted to drive Jiang Shu away now, she wanted to be alone, "Let's have dinner together, you go first, I'll rest for a while."

Hearing her tone was better, Jiang Shu gave up.

"Okay, then I'll go down and see Xiao Tan, and see you tonight."

Watching her leave, Jiang Shu turned around in three steps, a hundred people were unwilling, but Ji Lianxing insisted on her leaving.

It was not until Jiang Shu disappeared from Ji Lianxing's sight that Ji Lianxing closed the door.

The corridor was plunged into darkness. Ji Lianxing leaned against the wall and breathed a sigh of relief. She raised her hand with the back of her hand to cool her face, took a few deep breaths back and forth, and the cramped feeling disappeared.

She turned and went upstairs. After entering the room, she walked straight to the room. She took a change of clothes from the closet and went straight to the bathroom.

Entering the door, closing the door, turning on the shower and pouring water into the bathtub, her clothes and trousers were thrown on the ground, Ji Lianxing's movements were done in one go, she got into the bathtub and tried to relieve her body tension with warm water.

The image just now lingered in my head for a long time, the scent of Jiang Shu's body, Jiang Shu's possessiveness, and the full sense of security when she was hugged by her, when the tip of her nose gently rubbed her neck. That crispy. Itchy feeling.

Like a river that has been dry for a long time, it suddenly ushered in a heavy rain, and the flood came violently, pushing Ji Lianxing into the deep water.

She took a handful of water and brushed it against her cheek, back and forth several times to wake herself up.

But she looked up again and saw the marks on the pants on the ground, letting her know that her reaction was so real.

Ji Lianxing covered his face, his body sank, and he slid into the water...
