Chapter 63 Doubt
The morning light was dim. Xu Xiao Jiao stared blankly at the corner of the room, lost in thought.
At the side, Song Wei Ping hugged her tightly. Seeing her cutely dazed look, he pecked the corner of her mouth, "What are you thinking about?"
Xu Xiao Jiao turned around and burrowed into his arms, closing her eyes and not answering him.
What was she thinking? She was wondering whether Song Wei Ping could do it or not!
This time she wasn't drunk at all, just a little tipsy. She remembered what happened yesterday. They were alone. A man and a woman. The fire was so fierce that the air was about to burn. But between the two of them, except for kissing, nothing happened.
Xu Xiao Jiao obviously felt it, but Song Wei Ping actually held back.
You really can’t do it, right?
Xu Xiao Jiao really wanted to poke Song Wei Ping in the chest and interrogate him.
But seeing Song Wei Ping smiling like a big trumpet flower early in the morning, her mentality collapsed. She didn't want to put him on the spot.
Alas, for those who don’t know, they thought they had a wedding night yesterday.
Seeing her silence, Song Wei Ping thought that she had actually forgotten what happened yesterday, "Do you really remember what happened last night?"
As soon as Xu Xiao Jiao woke up, Song Wei Ping asked her if she still remembered last night.
Xu Xiao Jiao shook her head, "I haven't forgotten. How hateful."
Song Wei Ping breathed a sigh of relief and reached out to rub her head. He was afraid that he would regret it if she forgot about it. Yesterday, he really used the most willpower in his life.
It was good that she remembered. At least he could kiss her in the future. Song Wei Ping felt a little satisfied.
However, in order to prevent drinking and causing trouble again in the future, Song Wei Ping made up his mind, "Don't drink anymore. I'm serious this time."
He would watch her carefully from now on.
Xu Xiao Jiao unconsciously hummed, mentally retorting that he didn't have the final say.
Song Wei Ping was smoothing her hair. Feeling his moderate strength, Xu Xiao Jiao squinted her eyes comfortably. Suddenly she thought it through, thinking that this wasn't bad.
Anyway they didn't want children. It felt good to fall in love platonically.
After thinking about it, Xu Xiao Jiao felt relieved. She stretched in his arms and said, "Song Wei Ping, where are we going to play today?"
All the things that need to be done were done. It was time to take her to play.
Her nightgown was put on her with his help yesterday. It was very short. When she moved, her delicate skin pressed against his body, making Song Wei Ping instantly stiff.
Song Wei Ping seamlessly shrank back and discussed with her, "I will take you to play tomorrow. Today, you will go see someone with me."
"Who is it? It's not a woman again, is it?" Xu Xiao Jiao looked at him.
Song Wei Ping shook his head, "A little boy, only a little older than Xiao Gang."
The person Song Wei Ping brought Xu Xiao Jiao to see was called Chen Ji.
Chen Ji was thin and small. When Xu Xiao Jiao saw him for the first time, he was squatting in the shadows of the street and dozing out of boredom. When he saw Song Wei Ping, his eyes suddenly burst into surprise. He shouted 'Elder Brother Wei Ping' before running over toward them.
This street was very shabby. Many of the low-rise bungalows were unoccupied. Xu Xiao Jiao didn't expect that Song Wei Ping would live here for a month last time.
Chen Ji spoke somewhat broken mandarin and chirped around Song Wei Ping, "Elder Brother Wei Ping, are you going to live in my house again this time?"
Song Wei Ping shook his head and introduced Xu Xiao Jiao to him, "Xiao Ji, this is your elder sister-in-law. I won't live here this time. I came to see you."
He handed some of the food he bought to Chen Ji and introduced him to Xu Xiao Jiao, "Call him Xiao Ji. His parents are gone and he lives alone. Quite pitiful."
Xu Xiao Jiao suppressed her curiosity and greeted Chen Ji with a smile, "Hello, Xiao Ji."
When Chen Ji saw Xu Xiao Jiao, he was a little shy for a moment. He rubbed the back of his head. On his wheat-colored face was a naive smile, "Hello, Elder Sister-in-law. ELder Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful!"
Chen Ji's house was in the middle of a row of small bungalows. There was only an open-air yard of three or four meters from the entrance, followed by a short house with less than three rooms. There was nothing in the house and it looked a bit dilapidated.
The three rooms were divided into east and west rooms. Song Wei Ping pointed to one of them and said, "I lived in this room last time."
Chen Ji smiled and introduced to Xu Xiao Jiao, "Elder Sister-in-law, this is my previous room. After my parents died, I moved into their room. This room has always been empty."
They didn't enter the room. There were several benches and a table in the yard. Chen Ji wiped them clean and let Song Wei Ping and Xu Xiao Jiao sit on them.
Song Wei Ping came to see him today because Chen Ji was always on his mind. After sitting down, he asked him, "Are those people still bullying you?"
Chen Ji laughed loudly, "No, Elder Brother Wei Ping. Since you beat them up, they don't dare to mess with me anymore. And I also learned a few tricks from you. Some of them came to find trouble with me and got beaten back by me. Now I’m not afraid of them.”
Xu Xiao Jiao slowly grasped from their conversation that Song Wei Ping probably had helped Chen Ji last time. It happened that Chen Ji had an empty room, so Song Wei Ping moved in. One, he stayed in for a while to help Chen Ji. Secondly, he could also save some money.
Song Wei Ping came to see Chen Ji this time for another matter.
"I found a job for you. You are young and can't do anything big. A person I know has a warehouse and he often needs to unload goods. I have already notified him. If you have nothing to do in the future, go and help unload some small item goods."
Chen Ji didn't expect that Song Wei Ping would find him a job, "Really? Elder Brother Wei Ping, someone wants me?"
It wasn’t that he had never gone out to find a living before. It was just that he was so thin that they didn't want him at all. If not, then they want him to sign some kind of contract. Luckily, he knew a few words. Seeing that the contracts were ambiguous, he knew that those people had bad intentions, so he didn't look for it again.
Song Wei Ping nodded, "You try first. Be smart and seize any good opportunity."
"En, en, en." Chen Ji nodded rapidly.
On the way back, Xu Xiao Jiao asked Song Wei Ping, "Did you save him when you saw him being bullied?"
Song Wei Ping nodded.
Come to think of it, it was a coincidence. At that time, Song Wei Ping had just arrived here. After handing over the delivery to Qian Hai Long that day, he was looking for a place to live.
He was alone, so he didn't think about staying in any guest house. After asking around, he heard that there was a much cheaper place where Chen Ji lived. So he wanted to try to find it.
Then he saw Chen Ji. At that time, he was being pushed to the ground by a few children who were older than him. His nose and face were bruised and swollen after being beaten.
No matter how hard-hearted Song Wei Ping was, he couldn’t remain indifferent. After saving Chen Ji, he took advantage of the opportunity to live in his house. Chen Ji also knew to repaid kindness. Song Wei Ping stayed with Song Wei Ping for a month without asking for a penny.
"Although he is thin, he is 16 or 17 years old. He’s also quite smart. It seems that his parents lost their lives last year. After the economy opened up, he wouldn't starve to death. He had been at the station and other places and earned some money by giving directions or giving some news to others. That time he got beaten because others saw that he made more money that day and were looking for trouble."
Xu Xiao Jiao was curious, "Why are you still looking for a job for him?"
Song Wei Ping pursed his lips and glanced at him, "He is in quite a miserable condition. No one in the neighborhood talks to him, saying he is a calamity star."
As soon as the words ‘Calamity star’ came out, Xu Xiao Jiao instantly understood Song Wei Ping's mentality. He must have seen his struggling self in the past in Chen Ji.
At that time, Grandmother Song's two sons and two daughters-in-law were all dead or ran away, leaving only Song Wei Ping and Grandma Song dependent on each other.
In that era of limited information and serious superstition, he must have suffered a lot of grievances.
Xu Xiao Jiao suddenly remembered that when they were having a banquet, Song Wei Ping's cousin uncle from Song Wei Ping's grand-maternal uncle’s side, looked like he was avoiding snakes and scorpions when seeing Song Wei Ping's face.
Relatives were like this, let alone those villagers who listened to the wind and act like rain.
"Song Wei Ping." Xu Xiao Jiao held his hand.
Seeing her distressed look, Song Wei Ping was a little amused, "What are you doing?"
Xu Xiao Jiao pouted, "My heart aches for you."
Song Wei Ping's eyes flashed with warmth. He intertwined his fingers with hers, "It's all in the past."
After meeting her, everything changed for the better. So he was somewhat grateful for the prejudices and grievances he had suffered in the past.
Having settled a matter on his mind, Song Wei Ping took Xu Xiao Jiao out for a few days of fun.
They went to the newly opened amusement park. Song Wei Ping played with her in all the activities. The camera left photos of her screaming or laughing. Song Wei Ping went to the print shop to develop them all and cherished them very much.
They watched the most touching love movie. Under the dim light, like other young lovers, they secretly hugged, kissed, and lingered.
They went to the trendiest coffee shop on the corner and sat on the circular bus and cuddled up all day.
So when Song Wei Ping was about to start getting busy, Xu Xiao Jiao was a little reluctant to leave.
She didn’t want to be separated from Song Wei Ping.
Song Wei Ping was going to inspect the market today and meet with a few partners from last time to see what to invest in next.
"Would you like to come with me?" Song Wei Ping invited.
Xu Xiao Jiao sighed and shook her head, forcing herself not to follow him, "I'm almost becoming conjoined twins with you., Song Wei Ping, you haven't noticed that I'm getting more and more clingy to you."
Song Wei Ping smiled, "I can't wish for it any other way."
Xu Xiao Jiao despised herself a little. Who said she would be a good roommate for life in the first place. In the end she got together with her roommate.
"No, Shen Hua Hua has come to find me so many times. I got to meet her. Besides, this girl is nice. I like her very much."
Speaking of this, Song Wei Ping was a little dissatisfied. For almost a week, Shen Hua Hua would wait in the hotel lobby every afternoon, flocking around Xu Xiao Jiao when they met, and even being vaguely hostile to him.
Even more annoying than Zhou Ping Xiang back then.
"Why does she have so much time?" Song Wei Ping frowned.
Xu Xiao Jiao changed into a pure white suit; a sleeveless white shirt on her upper body and a pair of high-waisted white trousers. She looked fresh and capable. The pure or charming look of the previous few days were gone.
Xu Xiao Jiao put on her lipstick and checked it in the mirror. She thought it was perfect. Then she turned to Song Wei Ping, "She wholeheartedly wants to start a business, no? And insists on getting me to join her. I'll go check it out."
Xu Xiao Jiao looked at Song Wei Ping proudly, "Song Wei Ping, maybe I will become the boss earlier than you."
Song Wei Ping pinched her nose and said, "From now on, please take care of me, Boss Xu."
Xu Xiao Jiao was even happier, "Easy to discuss. It depends on your performance. Properly warm the bed and I’ll give you a big reward."
As soon as she finished speaking, Song Wei Ping's eyes darkened, he lowered his head and asked her, "What reward?"
Xu Xiao Jiao quickly pushed him away, "What are you doing? Don't come closer. Song Wei Ping, you are becoming more and more shameless."
Getting touchy at every turn. Xu Xiao Jiao took her bag and prepared to change her shoes, "Shen Hua Hua is waiting down there. If you smudge my lipstick, I'll beat you to death."
Song Wei Ping regretted, "We'll talk about rewards later in the night then."
Pah, who wants to talk!
