please stop being jealous

After I finished speaking, Hou Jin was silent for ten seconds.

She stared at me, and got to the point: "'My little Xu'?" She shook her head, and said "tsk", "I see you, this benefactor has failed..."

She lowered her voice a bit, because there were other people in the store, and if someone heard the important word "gold master", it would be somewhat affected.

I accepted this fact very calmly: "You don't need to say it."

Hou Jin's expression became a little more serious, and she walked into a corner next to me.

It seems that he is looking at the scenery outside the window, but Hou Jin is actually reminding me: "There are many people in contact, and it's not like I haven't seen someone who has a lover, but Ah Ji, you are the only one who makes me feel different."

"Where is it?" I curled my lips.

"The last time I helped you pretend to be aggressive, I thought about it later, and I felt something was wrong." When she said this, she looked at me fixedly, as if she wanted to see through me, "You care about her."

I raised my eyebrows and questioned: "Can't I care?"

"Of course you can't." What Hou Jin said was true, "It's taboo for a benefactor to have a relationship with a lover. You must know better than me about this."

I pretended not to understand: "I don't know."

Hou Jin sighed: "You have to tell us the truth before you stop, right?"

"It doesn't mean that." I denied.

I talked with Hou Jin more than once about deeper topics, and each time I felt heavy to varying degrees.

She was right.

Huo Lingshu also told me that if you want to be a benefactor, you have to have no heart.

Apart from money and body, it is best not to have other exchanges and contacts.

Xu Luoye's future is bright.

She will go to graduate school and graduate. If there is no accident, she will go to a good company with a considerable monthly salary.

And none of this has anything to do with me.

I lowered my eyelashes, stared at the ground, covered my eyes, and said, "I didn't think about it that much, I just thought I should pull someone to show that I'm not so..."

I thought about it, raised my head and smiled at Hou Jin again: "You are all in love, so just leave me alone, won't my heart hurt?"

Hou Jin shrugged: "Not only does it not hurt, but it also feels very happy."

The sun was blazing, and the ground was steaming. A shed was set up outside the store, responsible for distributing some water and tasting pastries to potential customers who came to take pictures.

The effect was very good, and most of them said they would come to visit after the opening. Xiao Mu took advantage of the opportunity and said that the store was doing a lottery draw on Weibo.

All went well.

After saying goodbye to Hou Jin, I sat in the car, thought for a while, and then called Xu Luo.

There seemed to be a lot to say and a lot of questions to ask, but when she answered, I just asked, "Have you been bitten by a mosquito?"

In the past few days when she came home, she didn't have any contact with me. When I heard her voice at first, I was still a little dazed.

She said, "No."

My tone was a little disappointed: "Why?"

Why haven't you messaged me yet?Even if you bluntly inform me of the next schedule like before, I won't be as uncomfortable as I am now.

But I can't ask the exit.

"I don't get bitten by mosquitoes." Xu Luoye's voice didn't fluctuate. We are like leaders and employees, very formulaic.

I said "hmm", didn't say anything, and wanted to hang up the phone.

There is nothing more to talk about.

Xu Luo also made a sound, accompanied by cicadas and dogs barking in the countryside, she asked me: "What day is it today?"

"I don't know." I didn't answer her words.

"three days left."

I twitched the corner of my mouth, and my mood became inexplicably bad: "You come later." I added, "I don't really want to see you."

Before Xu Luo could react, the phone was cut off by me, and the loudest sound was the car horn.

There is nothing wrong with what Hou Jin said, I was just trying to quibble in front of her.

It is also an indisputable fact that I care about Xu Luo.

I don't know exactly when it started, but from the current situation, I hope I can spend less time and energy on her.

In the past few days when I haven't contacted Xu Luoye, I repeatedly asked myself, is it really like what I told Song Chicheng at the beginning, I was attracted to such a pair of eyes again.

Asked many times, but also did not get an answer.

I resist.

I can have a new love, I can have a new girlfriend, but that person can't be Xu Luoye.

She is my lover, her eyes are too similar to Xiao Canran's, and she is too cunning.

So cunning that even if I remain unmoved and have deliberately distanced myself from her, I still start to worry about gains and losses.

I closed my eyes, let out a long breath, and after a while, I picked up my phone and sent a message to Xu Luoye: [You will come back after the summer vacation. 】

Xu Luo didn't reply to me either.

I sent a message to Fang Yuan: [Fang Yuan, I will stay with you for a few days. 】

Fangyuan, an idler, replied in seconds: [Why? 】

[Where are there so many whys. 】

【Row. 】

The time to open the store is getting closer and closer, and it will be the sixth day in a blink of an eye.

Friends such as Huo Lingshu, Fangyuan, Hou Jin and Cui Jie all sent me flower baskets, arranged in two long rows, with some words of blessing written on them.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the firework tube was opened, and the new "Throbbing" opened for business.

The opening event lasted for three days, including applying for a VIP card, giving gifts with full discounts, etc. More and more people came here one after another.

Fang Yuan, Hou Jin and the others were worried that no one would come at first, so they bought some desserts and sat in their seats as sailors, which made it look more lively.

But their worries are a bit superfluous.

But it's also possible that I called Song Chicheng over. Anyway, he doesn't go to work today on Saturday, so I asked him to change into a suit and come here as a solicitation.

Song Chicheng was tall and handsome with long legs, which attracted a lot of female customers. Some young girls wanted to add him on WeChat, but Song Chicheng refused them one by one, and recommended the store's WeChat official account instead.

Finally, Song Chicheng walked to the rest area inside and sat down when the number of passengers decreased a little at noon.

I raised my eyebrows: "Chi Cheng, why don't you come to work with me, I'll give you a higher salary, and you'll sell your face."

Song Chicheng resolutely refused: "I don't!" He laughed, "Unless the salary is three times what I am now."

Fang Yuan smiled: "You are really a bit greedy too."

Hou Jin also raised the corners of her lips: "The lion opened his mouth wide."

Song Chicheng's neck was stiff, and he pointed to his face: "Look at this face, it can be the number one card in the duck shop, okay?"

I covered my eyes: "Men really don't need to be so confident, or they will be too greasy, brother."

After chatting for a while, Song Chicheng went to the door again, and I also went to the lobby.

There are basically no vacancies in the lobby, and there are voices of ordering and chatting one after another.

Looking at the photo wall again, a waiter was taking photos of customers with a Polaroid, and then pasted the photos on the wall.

Hou Jin stood beside me and followed my gaze. She couldn't hide her smile: "Didn't someone say that the first photo should be posted with someone? Why do I look like an employee who took the photo?" Group photo."

She was right.

I pursed my lips and didn't reply.

Hou Jin touched her chin, and asked curiously, "Did you quarrel? Why didn't you see her?"

I glanced at her: "Why are women in their late thirties so gossip?"

Hou Jin wasn't angry: "You're angry from embarrassment, how much younger are you than me?"

She poked my sore spot, and I replied angrily, "I'm eighteen this year."

"Then I'm seventeen."

The air conditioner was turned on in the store, and some customers came to escape the heat, but they couldn't sit for nothing, so they ordered a drink and sat.

The temperature of the air conditioner seemed to be too low. I touched my arm and asked Xiao Mu to turn up the temperature.

Then I answered Hou Jin's question: "There was no quarrel." I said truthfully, "It's just unilateral cold violence."

Hou Jin: "Understood."

She didn't say much, and walked away first, giving me time to be alone.

And I was a little out of breath, and it took a long time before I forced back the uncomfortable feeling bit by bit.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the shop closed for today's business, because considering that everyone was too tired, I didn't have a meeting.

When I arrived at the Fangyuan apartment, I was exhausted. She was playing a game, saw me slumped on the sofa, and said with a smile: "I finally realized how tired I was before."

My voice is a little hoarse: "Yeah."

"Go take a shower and sleep, you have to get up early to go to work tomorrow."

For the opening day, I also took a special day off, and I have to go to work on Monday.

And tomorrow is Sunday, at eight o'clock in the morning, I have to go to the company.

Thinking of this, I felt that my body was not my own. After rubbing my temples with my hands, I opened my eyes, got up and went to the guest room to get my pajamas and go to the bathroom.

When I came out, Fangyuan was still playing games, I was brushing my hair, and I heard her say: "Ah Chi, I actually don't understand why you don't even want to go back to the apartment since little sister Xu is not here."

She didn't mean to drive me away.

I paused as I rubbed my hair: "Isn't this easy to understand? Because I don't want to see anything related to Xu Luoye."

"Are you afraid that you will think about others when you see things?" Fang Yuan glanced at me.

My eyes widened: "What are you talking about?"

"I don't think I'm talking nonsense."

I grabbed my wet hair: "I don't want to break it with you, I'm going to dry my hair, and I have to go to work tomorrow."

It was another night of good sleep. After I arrived at the company, I was in good spirits, and then I started to study seriously.

Today is the second day of the store's business, I am not very relieved, taking advantage of the lunch break, I drove there to check the situation.

Song Chicheng came again, he was very enthusiastic, seeing me get out of the car, he even winked my eyes.

I smiled and walked up to him. Before I could express my gratitude, Song Chicheng took a step ahead of me: "Sister, you are also very good at using resources."

"what?"

Song Chicheng pointed to the store and lowered his voice: "Why did you send your little lover here as a coolie?"
