This is the second time that Xu Jinchao has drawn a question mark in his mind about the human confusion from Yulan.

She stared at the few lines of text, especially the words "sweet enough". She moved her eyes to the selfie thumbnail, and couldn't help but stretched her finger to poke it open.

Although the pixels are low, it can't cover the natural sarcasm from Yu Lan's fake smile, and the faint viciousness of the female thug who is doing illegal and criminal debt collection activities.

Xu Jinchao felt that Yu Lan was afraid that she might not be demented, so she felt that her smile was sweet.

She remembered that the phone vibrated in her pocket just now when she was buying fried dough sticks. It should have come from Yu Lan's request for help, but she was digging out her wallet to pay and didn't check it in time, so the anxious female Alpha took the courage to send it to Song Jiao.

Xu Jinchao wondered: "What is she doing?"

Song Jiao has already shown a tolerant (sarcastic) smile that belongs to the acting master when he looks at the novice in the class, and the 30-year-old sister looks at the incompetent sister.

Omega withdrew from the message and handed his mobile phone to Xu Jinchao, who took it subconsciously.

Song Jiao tapped the camera logo under the screen and motioned Xu Jinchao to open it: "I'll teach her, it's so stupid that people can't stand it."

She decided to be merciful and let the little rookie Yulan see what real sweetness is.

Xu Jinchao didn't really realize what Song Jiao was going to do for a while. She raised her phone and took the girl in the gray woolen hat into the viewfinder.

Under the camera, Song Jiao still maintains a contemptuous and arrogant demeanor, like a proud kitten who has won the rat trapping championship and paraded through the streets wearing a big red flower. .

The place where the two of them bought breakfast is outside the Chunyue Community. This is a narrow alley. There are small shops with low-rise bungalows on both sides. breath.

Behind Song Jiao is a wonton cart. The boss cooks wontons outside, and behind it is a mottled brick wall, an open iron door, and people crowded indoors sitting in Maza eating wontons.

Xu Jinchao couldn't help but take a few steps back and adjust the angle so that the composition picture he intuitively wanted in his mind appeared on the screen of the mobile phone.

Then she saw a very wonderful scene.

Waiting for her to lower the phone, adjust the proportions of the characters and the background, and raise her hand to indicate OK.

Song Jiao, who was still proud and ridiculed at first, interprets what it means to change her face faster than turning over a book.

Song Jiao's brows and expressions began to change, her dark and bright pupils turned slightly under her eyelashes, and she adjusted from the original squinting eyes to a gentle and friendly position.

When the sarcastically raised eyebrows were flattened, the drooping eyes that were inherently innocent were smiling, and the brows were happy and stretched, and a bright smile appeared on her cute and beautiful little face, and the smile was sweet and innocent.

Warm winter sun, gray woolen hat, knitted scarf tightly wrapped around the neck, braids loosely braided on the shoulders, short down jackets that turn the whole person into small buns, with a youthful sweet, carefree smile.

Xu Jinchao pressed the shutter to freeze the girl and the noisy market behind her on the screen.

She checked the photos she took and saw the excess vitality and honey that were about to overflow the screen, and she was madly swiped by two words in her heart: Awesome!

Xu Jinchao knelt down to Song Jiao.

Little liar, as expected of you, your acting skills are superb.

If it wasn't for Song Jiao's harsh comment when she went out, saying that Jiang Chao should be given noodles, boiled vegetables and eggs, she would have been blinded by this happy smile.

Song Jiao also came over to look, and the big pom-pom on her hat was shaking in front of Xu Jinchao's eyes, which made Xu Jinchao always want to pinch it.

Omega said with satisfaction: "Yes, very good."

She stuffed the big bag of soy milk and steamed buns in her hands to Xu Jinchao: "I'll text her back, you can get it for me."

What can Xu Jinchao do? The self-indulgent kitten can only be petted by himself.

The two walked out from the breakfast alley, and Xu Jinchao leaned over to read Song Jiao's reply.

Song Jiao took off her other cotton glove and placed the two between her arms and body. She quickly pressed the keyboard with her small hand that was also wearing half-finger gloves, and sent pictures.

Song Jiao: [Give you a reference to study and improve yourself. ]

Song Jiao: [Picture]

She just wanted to put the gloves back on, but Yu Lan replied in seconds.

Yu Lan: [Mom, how did you do it, I don't seem to be very good, laughing like a fool. ]

Xu Jinchao thought to himself, no, you are clearly like a debt collector, you can't get the money to cut people's little fingers in minutes.

In contrast, Song Jiao's smile really washed her eyes. She instantly jumped from the scene of "Young and Dangerous: Huacheng Jianghu" to a society ruled by law. The neighbors are harmonious and friendly, and everyone has hope.

Yu Lan: [My boss, did the lady boss take the photo for you? I think I may be short of someone who can take pictures like this. Could you lend me the lady boss? ]

Xu Jinchao only thought that Yu Lan was about to lose her mind. What an overthinking idea, she actually thought that the rank between herself and Song Jiao was only one of her who took a photo with a mobile phone.

Her gaze swept to Song Jiao, and sure enough, the corner of Omega's mouth curled up in a mocking arc of max.

Song Jiao: [No. Reflect more on yourself, you laugh at yourself as a Tibetan mastiff that kills mad, and no one can save you. ]

Xu Jinchao almost laughed because of Song Jiao's wonderful metaphor, and tried to hold back.

Yu Lan sent a bunch of pitiful emoji begging again, Song Jiao had already ignored the new text messages, put away her phone, and put on her gloves.

She took the breakfast bag in Xu Jinchao's hand.

"Look at what she sent you, I guess it's the same photo."

Xu Jinchao immediately took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

Her text message exchange with Song Jiao yesterday stopped at Yu Lan and her beloved computer wife. This is a relatively safe topic, and being swept by Song Jiao will not hinder Yu Lan's life.

She opened Yu Lan's text message and found that there were not only the sweet debt-collecting smile, but also four or five other wicked smiles, each of which was particularly deadly.

Yu Lan: [Quick, Bodhisattva, which kind of smile do you think looks better, choose the one that you think is sweeter and cute. ]

Xu Jinchao dared to conclude that Yu Lan sent herself so many pictures to choose from, but only sent one to Song Jiao, for fear that Song Jiao would be impatient.

And the one sent to Song Jiao was probably the cutest one she thought was the cutest.

Song Jiao: "Why did she call you Bodhisattva?"

Kitten really peeked at the content of the text message beside him, and questioned the name.

... Yu Lan called her so because she always rescued the poor She Fear Jiaohua from Song Jiao's evil claws, but this must not be told to Song Jiao.

Xu Jinchao said vaguely: "Maybe it's because I think I'm more amiable."

Song Jiao went to look at Xu Jinchao's face, only looking at the appearance, there was no solemn and compassionate Buddha image, but Alpha's daily demeanor was indeed very kind and gentle, and it was not incomprehensible.

She saw Xu Jinchao reply to Yu Lan.

[You should relax, not so tight, maybe you can think of something happy to help you laugh more naturally. ]

This is obviously to implicitly tell Yu Lan that these smiles have nothing to do with cuteness.

Song Jiao felt that Xu Jinchao was right, and Yu Lan was indeed trying so hard that she wanted to eat a child.

The smile she showed to Yu Lan just now was not entirely a performance, or in other words, she could always smile more genuinely at Xu Jinchao.

Song Jiao suggested on the side: "You can tell her and let her think about how it feels to hold her own notebook in her arms."

Xu Jinchao: "Ah? Oh."

She truthfully relayed Song Jiao's suggestion, since the two were actually close friends.

Yulan: [! ]

Yu Lan: [I realize, thank you Bodhisattva. ]

There are three sticks of incense at the end of the text.

Xu Jinchao felt that Yu Lan and Song Jiao could maintain their friendship awkwardly, and it was not without reason, she added:

[It was Song Jiao's idea. ]

Yu Lan: [Thank you my dear Boss Song for me! I will work hard and only spend five minutes practicing smiling. ]

Yu Lan: [My boss's smile is so sweet, she is the sweetest little beet. ]

Xu Jinchao gave a thumbs up for Yu Lan's desire to survive.

The child is self-righteous, and the parent who knows the strictness may be watching, so the whole person's style of painting is swaying.

Song Jiao has always adhered to the principle that she doesn't care what she does behind her back, that criticism in person is a provocation, and she is also very satisfied with Yu Lan's knowledge.

"It's pretty clever," she said.

Hearing these words in Xu Jinchao's ears, there was a little bit of kitten humming and he thought it was cute.

She smiled and put away her phone, first adjusted the brim of her hat for Song Jiao, and covered the exposed ears, before putting on cotton gloves and taking the overloaded food bag in Song Jiao's hands.

The two returned to Building D4 with a large package of food, and parted ways to greet those who hadn't had breakfast to eat.

102 is okay, and the work and rest are fairly regular. Only a few employees who didn't have enough time to eat in the morning and late asked for steamed buns and soy milk.

101 is the hardest hit area. Jiang Chao gathered people back early in the morning, dug them out of their beds and brought them here. They were so hungry that their chests were stuck to their backs, and they needed relief food to fill their stomachs.

Xu Jinchao felt a little guilty for the time wasted on the road. They actually waited to buy breakfast, instead of eating instant noodles, they hurriedly distributed breakfast.

Xu Jinchao instructed: "There are mixed vegetables in the kitchen. Jiang Chao brings them here. Everyone has to eat them, not vegetables. I also bought vitamin tablets, and everyone eats two after meals."

Just joined the team on the side, although wearing black T slacks, curly hair, and no makeup, Qin Lingyue said, "I'll get it."

She pressed Jiang Chao, who was about to get up, to sit down, and went into the kitchen to get the large pot of vegetables that Xu Jinzao had mixed in the morning.

The bedroom door with the [Do Not Disturb] sign opened, and a silent Yulan walked out.

Xu Jinchao found that Yu Lan had **** her half-length hair with a hair tie, and she also had two small satin hairpins on. She replaced the usual large T-shirt and plaid pajamas that covered her hips, and put on a nightdress with suspenders. .

Although this nightdress is also a looser floral skirt, it is already a huge improvement, and the whole person is refreshing and beautiful.

Xu Jinchao was shocked, and when he saw Yu Lan standing at the table, Jiang Chao was also very shocked: "Ah, is Yu Shen going out for breakfast?"

There seems to be something wrong with this, but for Yu Lan, coming out of the bedroom is indeed going to be breakfast.

The number one fanboy chose to give up his seat to the great god, and said, "I'm full."

Qin Lingyue brought a stainless steel pot full of mixed vegetables. Xu Jinchao used the recipe given by Aunt Li to prepare the mixed vegetable juice, boiled a dozen eggs and cut them into it.

Xu Jinchao held Jiang Chao: "Eat the eggs and vegetables before leaving."

Jiang Chao: "The seat can't be opened."

Xu Jinchao: "Then eat while standing, don't tell me you're afraid of carrots."

Qin Lingyue distributed chopsticks to everyone, and when they reached Yu Lan, she smiled slightly at her.

Yulan: "..."

Song Jiao opened the door and walked into 101. There was a lot of noise in the room.

She also noticed that Yu Lan was at the dining table, but her eyes only swept away, she walked to Xu Jinchao's side, grabbed her sleeve, and motioned her to come out with herself.

Xu Jinchao didn't know why, and followed her to the kitchen.

Song Jiao took off her hat and down jacket at 102. Now she is wearing an off-white turtleneck sweater with a very soft texture.

The high collar of the sweater swept Omega's chin, and Xu Jinchao noticed that her eyes were unusually bright.

Song Jiao closed the kitchen door, pulled Xu Jinchao to the window, away from the noise, and told her softly:

"I negotiated with the person in charge of Yuefeng Company. They just gave the news, and so did the others."

Xu Jinchao's heart skipped a beat, Song Jiao said that Yuefeng Company was a well-known local investment bank in "Jiaojiao". Yuefeng and several other investment funds contacted Song Jiao before, but Song Jiao was not satisfied with their conditions, so he decisively refused. .

The last time Song Jiao returned to Juzhou, was to contact a foreign investment company there.

Xu Jinchao immediately asked, "How is it?"

Song Jiao smiled at her, Xu Jinchao saw a complacent look on her plain and beautiful face, she put her ear close and heard a few whispers from Omega.

After hearing the terms and amount negotiated this time, Xu Jinchao burst out with the same great joy.

She said firmly: "Yuefeng values ​​you very much."

Song Jiao corrected: "To be precise, it's us. Don't forget that you also own 5% of the shares."

Xu Jinchao nodded again and again. She is now happy for Song Jiao with all her heart, and she doesn't care to say anything that she has not added to Song Jiao's friend record.

She was just crazy with joy.

In fact, both Xu Jinchao and Song Jiao were under enormous pressure. Although the surface was calm and seemed to be thriving, Xu Jinchao was very aware of the undercurrents under the water.

She thought that Song Jiao should also be nervous. The judgment of the future is a judgment. The two of them are indeed undecided now. They are in the darkest stage before dawn. Even if they know that the sun will eventually rise, they will have to get through it with difficulty.

Xu Jinchao didn't say it, and Song Jiao didn't say it, but that didn't mean it didn't exist. They try to channel positive emotions outward and keep everything running.

Now that the boulder here in Song Jiao has finally landed, this huge financing from Yuefeng and other funds will be a shot in the arm, and it will be injected into the friend list, making it glow with unprecedented vitality.

Song Jiao said: "By the way, the number of users recorded by friends has exceeded 200,000. I think, after a while, I can rent a decent office space, let our employees move there, and recruit some new people."

Xu Jinchao was sincerely happy for her. She said, "Of course, you shouldn't live in this residential building anymore. It's great, you're going to take off."

"The progress is more difficult than I imagined," Song Jiao said softly, "but the whole thing is not out of control, good things will come and go."

She stared at Alpha's face: "Believe in yourself, no matter how sure you are in reality, give yourself 100% trust."

These seem to be contradictory words, not only to Xu Jinchao, but also to herself.

After Song Jiao deduced that Xu Jinchao's actual working experience may be in the field of art, her worries about Xu Jinchao's future have always existed.

Although she said, "If you fail, I can support you", she was absolutely optimistic about the prospects of social networking, but Song Jiao didn't want to see Xu Jinchao fail.

She hopes that the Alpha in front of her can maintain the happiness and flying that she loves.

Song Jiao didn't understand the reason for these vague thoughts.

But now she understands that she has gained empathy, which is something that Xu Jinchao was rich and she didn't have.

Song Jiao now not only wants Xu Jinchao by her side, but also hopes that the other party can be happy and confident, instead of being a noble vassal, Xu Jinchao will never be happy to be a vassal.

Alpha's personality is so fresh and beautiful, but if she doesn't take root in the fertile soil for her to grow, this beautiful flower will eventually wither.

She can make the foxtail lily into an immortal flower and retain its shape, but she can't keep the life of the foxtail lily, and even those remaining floral fragrances will eventually dissipate.

Song Jiao had originally thought that if Xu Jinchao failed in all things, then the friend record must have been on the right track. She could suggest Xu Jinchao to do what he really likes, pick up the paintbrush, and climb another hall.

At that time, Xu Jinchao will definitely be happy to paint a serious portrait of her, or maybe a lot of them. They will also have their own income and be the best in their respective industries.

But when I saw Xu Jinchao's diligent planning, when I saw her repeatedly drafting and revising what she said to investors, and seeing that she really recruited her own team, she was ecstatic after successfully pulling Qin Lingyue——

Song Jiao was suddenly more afraid than she was that all things would fail.

She was afraid that Xu Jinchao would be disappointed, that the other party might become depressed, that there would be a gap between them, that the future would drift away, and that they would lose their common topic.

This is something Song Jiao cannot bear.

When receiving the call from the person in charge of Yuefeng, Song Jiao was thinking about the friend record, and the prospect she was anxiously looking forward to finally opened a gap, revealing light.

And after the phone call ended, she added all things to her thoughts.

She can't interfere with Xu Jinchao's choice, but she is better at starting early. The road she has traveled can give Xu Jinchao a reference and give the other party more chances to win.

Recognizing that emotion is sweet, and recognizing that emotion is bitter, she is fascinated by the colors she recognizes, and in it she knows that there are so many negative effects of being a healthy person.

She was just an emotionally babbling baby, and she was already feeling the soreness.

But Song Jiao didn't regret it, nor could she regret it.

She told Xu Jinchao and said to herself: Trust your choice 100%.

She didn't stop immediately when she found that she started to have emotional fluctuations. If she chose to experience and learn more deeply, she had to trust 100% of the correctness of her choice.

This kind of self-confidence made Song Jiao's past life easy and simple, and she should continue to keep it and apply it to new fields.

Xu Jinchao said: "Of course, you have actually told me this, and it's all in your behavior. Did I say it? I've been watching you."

Alpha made the gesture of pointing his eyes again, with a smile that seemed to be the same as that day.

At that time, Song Jiao thought more about how to monopolize and how to make Xu Jinchao only have himself in his eyes, those irresponsible willful happiness.

But now she thinks, she has to make Xu Jinchao happy and let Xu Jinchao get what she wants.

Monopoly is sour, sharing is bitter.

But if this is what she has to experience in order to feel the sweetness, then she seems to have to taste it all, not to exclude it.

Song Jiao said, "You will have a lot."

Xu Jinchao didn't quite understand why she suddenly said this, so she quietly looked at Song Jiao and waited for her next sentence.

Song Jiao just came closer and hugged her.

Song Jiao put her face against Xu Jinchao's neck, and there was a lot of warmth from the other party, which warmed and sweetened her originally cold, bitter and sour body.

Xu Jinchao didn't know why Song Jiao did this, but he also wrapped his hands around Omega's back and rubbed his hands up and down soothingly.

Because she doesn't seem too happy.

Song Jiao has been staying in this eager embrace, she hopes that time will stop like this, so that she doesn't have to make a choice.

Let eternity stay warm and sweet and not face others.

But it's not realistic, Song Jiao thought, how could such a good thing happen.

How can I open my eyes and see only sunshine and flowers, there are so many unbeautiful things in the world, how can it disappear only for her plea.

She said in Xu Jinchao's arms: "You taught me some things, some good and some bad. But I thank you in general. You are a good teacher."

Song Jiao didn't expect that she just wanted to tell Xu Jinchao a good news, and then told the other party her own feelings, but she derived countless complex emotions, making her unable to distinguish at all, and also realized that in terms of emotional cognition, she There are many unknown things.

When she reluctantly released Xu Jinchao, Song Jiao still had the body temperature from Xu Jinchao on her cheeks.

She first asked the other party: "Will you always teach me?"

This is an habitual question. Song Jiao is used to getting the promise of company and then making herself happy, but before Xu Jinchao can answer, Song Jiao immediately stops it.

"No, don't answer."

Omega now feels that these questions are meaningless at all, so what if she gets a promise, she can no longer be satisfied just because of company, and a lot of greed grows in her heart.

She made up her mind that she should seek new pleasures instead of dwelling on the things that brought them in the first place.

Song Jiao said to herself, "I should do something else to lighten my current mood, it's not right."

Xu Jinchao was already confused by her. She didn't understand what was going on in the other person's little head, why it suddenly seemed illogical, and the language jumped, making it difficult to understand.

Song Jiao said, "The person from Yuefeng asked me to sign the contract today. I'll call the lawyer. The contract must be read in detail. This is the most important thing. Only when the verbal things are implemented on paper can you be assured."

She spoke quickly, and seemed to be in high spirits and full of energy in an instant.

Song Jiao rushed up and hugged Xu Jinchao again, and left a sentence: "It's better to work, it won't make me think about it."

Xu Jinchao: "?"

Song Jiao started her busy day. She negotiated with the person in charge of Yuefeng Company, negotiated with the person in charge of other investment funds, studied the contract with the lawyer, and finally signed the contract to finalize the financing.

She fills herself up with work and doesn't allow herself to almost think about something.

For Song Jiao, this is more useful than sleep and can restore her energy.

The night is dark, the night is getting darker.

The website structure of Wantong was finally completed on this day. Xu Jinchao asked everyone to go back to rest and discuss the next process together tomorrow.

Near 11 o'clock, the employees at 102 either went home from get off work or fell asleep, but Song Jiao was still cooking next door.

Xu Jinchao sent her a reminder, but Song Jiao only replied that she was busy with work.

Xu Jinchao was holding the book "Oliver Twist", but he couldn't read it any longer. He wanted to lie down to sleep but couldn't sleep.

Song Jiao's pillow and quilt were carried back to her room by Omega in the morning. Now Xu Jinchao is leaning on the head of the bed alone, staring at the book in a daze.

She suddenly heard the sound of the security door opening, and then the familiar footsteps. Song Jiao seemed to have returned to her room.

Xu Jinchao finally breathed a sigh of relief, Song Jiao was really abnormal today, especially wrong.

She relaxed, reading a book, while listening to the movement outside.

Song Jiao seemed to have gone to the bathroom to take a shower.

Song Jiao seemed to have come out of the bathroom and returned to the room.

Xu Jinchao stared absently at the words in the book in her hand, and she was thinking about the online operation of All Things.

After a while, Xu Jinchao decided to sleep.

She just put down the book and was about to turn off the bedside lamp, but footsteps came from outside the door, and Xu Jinchao's bedroom door was twisted open.

Omega spread out his long, half-wet hair, with a towel on his shoulders, holding a pillow and quilt in his arms, and said confidently:

"I'm going to sleep, get out of the way!"

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Jiaojiao: Disturbed by love, perhaps work is the happiest.

...

Jiaojiao: You bastard, there's nothing wrong with being together anyway, hurry up and divide the bed into half of me!
