very partial

After finishing the tutoring for the students in the afternoon, Ji Xia took a taxi directly to her aunt's house, but because the end of get out of class was too late and it happened to be the rush hour, everyone had already started eating for a while when she arrived.

"Cousin." After taking his seat, Ji Xia saw the man sitting directly opposite him at a glance, and couldn't help but take a few more glances, "I haven't seen you for a long time."

In my impression, Zhang Jiawen looks gentle and fair, and has a very cheerful personality. It's just that when I saw Ji Xia again after a few years, I felt that the other party was a lot tanned, and he became more mature and stable, and his words were also well-behaved. , it is a bit of a "public man".

But even so, Ji Xia still couldn't figure out why Jiang Wanqiu chose to be with such Zhang Jiawen back then.

These two... really can't get along.

"Has Ji Xia gone to college?" Seeing Ji Xia take his seat, Zhang Jiawen asked his cousin with a smile, and got an affirmative answer.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone's attention was shifted to other places, and the dinner continued.

Ji Xia doesn't like this kind of family dinner very much. There are too many people, too many elders, and there are too many questions to ask. She puts her head down and concentrates on eating. Keep your feelings to a minimum, so as not to be asked about "boyfriend" and the like.

But while talking on the table, Jiang Wanqiu's head was somehow mentioned.

The topic was brought up by Ji Zhengyuan, and it was about the incident that they went to the hospital a while ago and left through the back door through a relationship. When the elders heard that Zhang Jiawen had even talked about such a girlfriend, they all suddenly became overwhelmed.

"There is such a good girl, why didn't I hear Jiawen mention it at the time?"

"Doctor is a good job..."

What everyone said to each other finally dragged Ji Xia out.

"Ah..." Ji Xia reluctantly raised his head and looked at the elder who called him, not intending to say anything.

But the other party completed what he hadn't finished saying: "Didn't your father say that you and that doctor have a good relationship? You can help your cousin talk good things and see if there is any possibility for the two of them to match up." .”

"..." Such a rude request made the girl tighten her eyebrows, and her voice sounded a little stiff when she said it, "I won't."

She only gave Jianjian three words, and an unknown fire surged in her heart.

Fortunately, Zhang Jiawen saw that something was wrong, so he quickly opened his mouth to change the subject.

Until the meal was almost finished, Ji Xia proposed to go back first.

"Jiawen, send your sister off." The aunt's voice came from the table, and Zhang Jiawen responded loudly.

The cousins ​​left the house one after the other. When they went downstairs, Zhang Jiawen walked behind and took the initiative to talk to his sister: "Ji Xia, are you unhappy?"

"That's how their elders talk. Don't take it to heart. I didn't want Jiang Wanqiu to reconcile. That's not what I meant." The man patted the girl's shoulder, acting like a big brother.

Compared with the appearance at the dinner table just now, he is much more natural now.

"Look at you, if it wasn't because of me, would you have known Jiang Wanqiu?" Zhang Jiawen continued talking to himself, trying to raise Ji Xia's mood, "Why do you treat him as if he treats you better now? Did my sister see it?"

Ji Xia glanced at him, feeling better.

She thought to herself, more than just her own sister?

"You really don't want to make up with Jiang Wanqiu?" She asked, but she looked disbelieving.

"Hey," the man was surprised, and there was some expectation in his tone, "Do you have a way?"

Ji Xia: ...

It turned out that what I just said was false.

Sure enough, men are unreliable creatures.

Ji Xia's silence made Zhang Jiawen realize that the trust he had just gained from the other party had disappeared in an instant, so he began to take a detour and discussed with Ji Xia: "Let's talk about reconciliation, or you will ask her out to us I will thank her for a meal."

"Thank you for helping me take care of my sister."

"........."

Zhang Jiawen's "wolf ambition" was exposed under Ji Xia's eyes. He thought that his sister, who had a good relationship with him since childhood, would be able to help him, but he didn't know that in Ji Xia's eyes, he had become a stumbling block .

Still kind of annoying to look at.

Ji Xia refused to create opportunities for him.

But God provided him with a chance encounter.

Within two days after returning home, there were still many things to buy in the house allocated by the government. Zhang Jiawen inevitably had to run to the shopping malls and supermarkets frequently. He ran so often that on weekends, he happened to bump into Jiang Wanqiu and a boy from the office. The underground parking lot on the first floor goes up.

Out of curiosity, Zhang Jiawen quietly followed.

I haven't seen her for a few years, and he feels that his ex-girlfriend has changed a lot.

But this "change" means getting better and better.

Not only has the person become more mature and beautiful, but even the temperament has become more dusty, so that people can't take their eyes away at a glance - he feels that he is still the same as he was a few years ago, and he will fall in love with such a person.

It's just... the man next to the other party looks a little bit of an eyesore.

With such a person around, it is not good for Zhang Jiawen to go out suddenly and "encounter by chance" with the other party.

At such times, he thought of his good cousin.

So he took out his cell phone and called Ji Xia.

The shopping mall where Zhang Jiawen was located was not far from Ji Xia's location, but within 10 minutes, Ji Xia had already arrived there.

She took the escalator from the first floor of the shopping mall to the fourth floor, and found where Zhang Jiawen was.

The girl hurried over, thinking that her cousin was in trouble outside.

After finally seeing the person, he found that the other person was sneaking behind a pillar and observing the opposite movie theater. If he didn't know that this person was his cousin, Ji Xia would have thought it was a stalker.

"You said you wanted to come to me for the most important thing, what is it?" She tried to draw the other person's attention back.

Unexpectedly, the other party stretched out his hand and pointed at the opposite movie theater: "I saw Jiang Wanqiu, please help me identify it, it's in the waiting area of ​​the movie theater over there."

Ji Xia froze for a moment, but still looked in the direction the other party was pointing at, and after such a distance, she carefully identified it.

All I saw was a girl sitting on the sofa in the movie hall looking down at her phone. Ji Xia couldn't see her whole picture clearly, but she recognized her through her dressing style and temperament.

And indeed.

"The ones who are so far away just want me to come and recognize people?" She was a little dumbfounded. She always felt that such behavior was outrageous, but she was also curious why Jiang Wanqiu appeared in the movie theater alone.

But Zhang Jiawen quickly answered her doubts.

"A man with her just went to the bathroom, do you know who it is?" Zhang Jiawen kept asking questions, but he didn't directly answer his sister's questions.

"It should be a suitor who is developing." When it comes to his male companion, the first thing Ji Xia thinks of is Zhou Yang who appeared in the hospital last time.

She pursed her lips indiscriminately.

Actually not very happy.

But Zhang Jiawen didn't realize this at all, he was still talking to himself: "How about Ji Xia..."

Zhang Jiawen was full of thoughts that he and Jiang Wanqiu should have a good chance to be alone to reminisce about the old days, but with such a male companion by his side, he couldn't do it at all, so he couldn't help thinking of Ji Xia: "See if this is okay, Find a way to help me lure Jiang Wanqiu away, and don't let the two of them watch this movie."

"You two have a good relationship anyway, don't you?"

"My brother will transfer some pocket money to you, and you can buy what you want directly."

Although this may seem unethical.

But between brothers and sisters, they don't shy away from these things.

"Ah, this..." Ji Xia showed some hesitation, she asked tentatively, "Is this not very good?"

"What's wrong with that?" Zhang Jiawen was justified, "You're young, you don't know that sometimes you need to play tricks for the person you like."

"I'd rather be sorry for others than myself."

Ji Xia nodded with a vague understanding, as if he was thinking about what he said.

Zhang Jiawen saw that Ji Xia seemed to be listening carefully, so he felt that there was something going on, and immediately added fire: "I will transfer you a thousand red envelopes, which is considered to be your birthday present this year!"

"Okay, I'll try." When the price of 1000 yuan was added, the girl's beautiful eyes flickered twice, and she immediately agreed.

After the transfer was completed on the spot, Ji Xia quickly left Zhang Jiawen's sight and went elsewhere.

Not long after, Zhang Jiawen noticed that the opposite side was quiet—Jiang Wanqiu who was sitting suddenly moved. She stood up, answered a phone call, then turned around and walked out of the movie theater not long after, and went down the escalator to the lower floor of the shopping mall. .

There are still a lot of people going to and from the cinema.

After a while, Zhou Yang who came back from the toilet didn't find anyone who had seen Jiang Wanqiu, so he picked up his mobile phone to make a call.

"Hey, my sister has a way!" Seeing the man who was so close to Jiang Wanqiu just now being left alone at the moment, Zhang Jiawen couldn't help but feel refreshed. He had never admired his smart brain so much for a moment.

After admiring Zhou Yang's loss from afar, he slowly took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Ji Xia, asking where they were.

Just waiting for Ji Xia to report a location, he went straight over.

In the end, I didn't expect Ji Xia to reply with two sentences -

[Cousin, I'll take it away for you, you're welcome. 】

[But you don't need to come, she took me home to see the cat. 】

cousin:?
