love of life

Zexi cleaned up the grapes scattered all over the floor in the living room, washed them carefully, put them into a fruit plate and put them on the coffee table.After everything was tidied up, he had time to go back to his room and take a look at his phone. When he turned on the screen, there were actually five missed calls, all of which were from Teacher Tian.He carefully glanced at the living room, closed the door gently, and called back.

"Zexi, what's the situation with you? Why did Gu Ming call his father to help you resign just now? This shouldn't be your wish, right?" Teacher Tian asked anxiously as soon as he picked up the phone.

"This..." Although it was not his wish at first, he was completely convinced by Gu Ming later.

Teacher Tian heard that he had something to say, so he slowed down his tone and comforted: "Ze Xi, it's okay, if Gu Ming threatened you or made decisions without authorization, we will pretend that this has never happened. After all, we understand his temperament , it’s not surprising that you would do such a thing.”

Ze Xi blurted out the retort, "Teacher Tian, ​​no, Gu Ming didn't threaten me, it's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just...he said that the food I cook is delicious, and he wants me to take care of his daily life." Ze Xi was a little embarrassed to speak.

Teacher Tian breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "So that's the case. It's just a job change, not a resignation."

"It's not entirely a job change. He said that after I resigned, he will hire me and he will be my boss." Zexi continued.

"What?" Tian Yingzhi on the other end of the phone was stunned. Before the phone hung up, he began to shout: "Wenxuan, there is big news!"

"Teacher Tian, ​​now..." Before Zexi finished speaking, he felt that Tian Yingzhi's attention was no longer on him.

"Oh, it's all about taking care of Gu Ming anyway, so let's do what he wants."

"Okay, then I'll return the car later."

"The car is not in a hurry, let's leave it for now. I don't worry if there is nothing wrong, so let's do this first. Bye."

Zhou Wenxuan's voice came from the other end of the phone, and Tian Yingzhi hung up the phone hastily.Zexi did not let go of the hand holding the phone.His work and destiny were decided in this way, no one asked his opinion, as if he was a machine, he just had to accept it, emotions and feelings were not important at all.It was true five years ago, and it is true now.He should have gotten used to it. He was used to the fact that people are born unequal. Some people can be domineering, while others can only struggle in the cracks of life.In the face of the cruel reality, self-esteem, backbone, emotion, and even existence itself are all vulnerable.

With a bang, Gu Ming pushed open the door of his room, and asked unhappily, "What are you doing hiding in the room?"

Ze Xi calmed down and replied calmly: "It's nothing, just make a phone call to explain the follow-up work."

Gu Ming frowned and thought for a while, "What is there to hand over? Isn't your only job to keep an eye on me?"

"I want to return that car."

"Oh, it's okay, let's leave the car alone, Mr. Gu is not short of this car. By the way, he bought it for me and I bought it myself. I didn't ask for his. If you like it I'll send it to you." Gu Ming said casually, as if he was not talking about a million-dollar car, but a two-dollar signature pen.

Ze Xi stood motionless, he had already been stimulated enough today, and he still hadn't recovered.

"Don't be dazed, pack up and go out. I threw away your clothes and promised to buy you new ones."

Only then did Zexi come to his senses, "By the way, I have to go back to where I live to pack my luggage. I don't need to buy new clothes, I still have them where I live."

Thinking of where Zexi lived, Gu Ming frowned, "Is there anything to clean up in your dilapidated house? Let me tell you, don't move those rags and quilts to my house. It's too crowded. .”

"Okay, then I will take some time to pack things by myself, and I will go to the landlord by the way to see if I can get back some deposit."

Gu Ming stared at him for a while, then made a quick decision, "Go, right now, I'll move with you."

Facts proved that Gu Ming's decision was correct. Under his supervision, Zexi couldn't help but stuff all the useful and useless things into the box, and Gu Ming threw them directly into the trash dump without any politeness.Gu Ming turned around and saw Ze Xi stuffing a broken tin box into the box.

"Wait, what is this? Why keep it in such a shabby place?" Gu Ming asked sullenly.

Zexi hugged the tin box tightly in his arms and said vigilantly, "I must take this away."

"Tell me what's inside first." Gu Ming asked resolutely with his hands folded in front of his chest.

"There are very important things inside, this must not be thrown away." Zexi's eyes were firm, and Gu Ming could tell at a glance that he cherished this box, and he couldn't bear the torment of curiosity in his heart.

"I don't need to open it, but you have to tell me what it is, so I can decide whether it's worth keeping."

"This... This is my memory from childhood to adulthood. It contains my photos and some important personal letters." This box is actually a microcosm of his life. Looking at the world, only this box can prove that he once existed .

Gu Ming didn't say a word, he acquiesced, and he quickly stuffed the box into the box.

"Have you packed it? Let's go quickly." Gu Ming didn't want to stay in this dilapidated house for a minute.

Ze Xi reluctantly looked at the messy things in the room, and nodded lightly, "It's almost packed, but the landlord won't be home from get off work for an hour, and I still need to talk to him about refunding the deposit. "

Gu Ming snatched the luggage from him and walked out of the room, "What the hell, how much is the deposit? Hurry up and leave."

"Eh, but..." Zexi stayed in the room trying to explain.

"No, but, didn't I say it? It's up to me to arrange. Get your luggage in the car and hurry up." Gu Ming had already descended five or six steps, and turned his head to urge.

"starting today?"

"Nonsense, we've all moved, why don't we start today?" Gu Ming couldn't stand his chattering, and hurried out of the room dragging his luggage. .

Gu Ming took the car keys, put the luggage in the trunk, opened the driver's seat door and sat in.Gu Ming glanced at Ze Xi who was standing next to the driver's seat, and pointed to the co-pilot, "What are you doing in a daze? Hurry up and get in the car."

"Master, are you driving?" Zexi asked.

"I said my name was called, get on the bus quickly, it will be the evening rush hour soon."

Ze Xi sat in the co-pilot, fastened her seat belt obediently, and Gu Ming started the car and drove towards the apartment.This was the first time that Zexi took this car as a passenger. He usually focused on the road when driving, and didn't feel how luxurious and comfortable this car was.But once he was freed from the tension of driving, he really felt that imported cars were different.

He secretly glanced at Gu Ming's side face. In just three days, his life changed drastically.He moved from the dilapidated small house to a high-end apartment, sat in the co-pilot of an imported car, wore Gu Ming's brand-name clothes and shoes, and completely changed his appearance, but he reminded himself frequently in his heart that none of this belonged to him. , may be taken away at any time.

"It's late today, let's go home and buy clothes for you tomorrow." Gu Ming said while watching the road ahead.

"Oh, okay. Actually, it's not necessary. I'll just buy it myself after I get my salary." He didn't want to accept too much favor from him.

Gu Ming chuckled: "Buy it yourself? What's your budget? How much is a T-Shirt? 20? Or 50?" His tone was full of jokes.

Unexpectedly, Zexi did not bow his head in embarrassment as before, but retorted righteously: "I don't feel ashamed to wear a T-shirt that costs 20 yuan a piece, I earned it myself money."

Gu Ming was very dissatisfied with his attitude, he had always looked like a doormat before, why did he suddenly grow a rebellious bone? "Yes, if you can kneel down and beg for help for a job that costs two or three thousand yuan a month, then of course it's not shameful to wear clothes that cost 3000 yuan a piece." Every time Zexi tried hard to regain her dignity, Gu Ming easily stepped on the ground.Ze Xi didn't understand, Gu Ming kept saying that he didn't want to be ashamed of his uselessness, but he had to remind him many times a day how useless and ashamed he was.

After more than half an hour, the two returned to the apartment. Zexi put the things back in the house and hurried to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Zexi opened the refrigerator door and took a look, then came to the living room and asked, "What do you want to eat tonight?"

Gu Ming leaned on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, and replied without raising his head: "Whatever."

Zexi thought for a while, "From the perspective of health preservation, it's better to eat light at night, and the portion should be small. I'll just fry a shredded potato with vinegar, a lettuce with oyster sauce, and cook a pumpkin soup."

"En." Gu Ming answered absent-mindedly, and Zexi stopped bothering him.

As soon as Gu Ming got home, he saw a stranger add her on his mobile phone, and the note name was Yu Xiaoxiao.Gu Ming clicked to accept, and after a while, he received several messages from her:

——Handsome guy, are you interested tonight?

——I'm at the old place, come over if you have time.

——Waiting for your news (づ￣3￣)づ╭～

After witnessing the fight between her and Xu Zhe last night, how dare this woman ask him out?Could it be that in her eyes, he is really so horny that he doesn't care about it, and he just goes for it if he is a woman?Or is it that this woman really thinks highly of herself and takes it for granted that everyone will bow down at her feet?

—After last night, I wonder how you dare to ask me out.

——What's the matter?In this day and age, it's embarrassing to say that you are an adult if you haven't had a few appointments.

——Actually, my vision is quite high.

——Thank you, I also feel that my conditions are not bad.

Gu Ming was defeated by her self-confidence. In all fairness, she does look good and has a good figure, so she does have the capital to be proud.As for character... Do you need to look at character when dating?Does he want to date her?Perhaps the most fundamental question is: Does he want a date?
