Age: Passionate youth, starting from graduation assignment

Chapter 177: On duty in the office at night, You Qingxia comes to the door

"If I don't care about her, she will go back to the countryside alone and be miserable."

Qiu Yuechan said in embarrassment, with a hint of reluctance in her eyes.

Xu Jichang smiled: "It depends on what you think."

"She is miserable? You are not miserable? Being so oppressed by her, how will you live your life in the future."

……

When Qiu Yuechan was told by Xu Jichang, if she felt something in her heart, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Xu Jichang didn't try to persuade her anymore, but just ate together after Lan Qimei served the dishes, and sent Qiu Yuechan away after eating.

It was getting late now, Xu Jichang looked at Qiu Yuechan's back for a while, then turned and entered the room.

He did have some thoughts about Qiu Yuechan, but he knew better than to rush this matter.

Before Qiu Yuechan solved her mother-in-law's problem, Xu Jichang would not act rashly.

Back in the house, Xu Jichang had a conversation with Lan Qimei, then got up and walked to the nearby yard to see Gu Zhijun.

As time went by, Gu Zhijun's belly got bigger and bigger, and Xu Jichang cared about her more frequently.

"Seventh sister took you for an examination two days ago, what's the result?"

Xu Jichang asked Lan Qimei to accompany her to the district hospital for a prenatal checkup two days ago, and now he wants to know the result very much.

"The results are good. The doctor said the fetus is developing well."

Gu Zhijun gently stroked her stomach with her hands, and said lovingly with her eyes full.

She never dreamed that at the age of 34, she would meet the second spring of her life and have a child with her lover.

Now her only thought is to give birth to the child safely, so that the crystallization of love between herself and Xu Jichang can land smoothly.

"That's good. How many nutritional supplements are left? I'll bring you some more tomorrow."

Xu Jichang heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and put his hand on Gu Zhijun's stomach with the same extremely gentle movement.

"There are still more. The doctor reminded me that I should exercise moderately, and the birth will be smoother later."

Gu Zhijun grabbed Xu Jichang's hand and said.

"Yes, you can ask Qimei to accompany you and walk around."

"Well, I'll get up early tomorrow and walk around the yard a few times."

"Be careful not to catch a cold, add two more clothes."

……

After talking to Gu Zhijun for a long time and greeting her, Xu Jichang returned to his room, washed his feet and went to sleep.

……

The next morning, Xu Jichang got up in a daze, and just opened his eyes, he found someone sitting in his living room.

He originally thought it was Lan Qimei, but when he opened his eyes, he realized it was Du Xiaojing.

"Xiao Jing, what's the matter this early in the morning?"

Xu Jichang said with sleepiness in his voice.

Du Xiaojing walked in excitedly: "Get up, let's take a picture together."

"Take a picture? Why don't you take a picture if you have nothing to do?"

Xu Jichang looked confused.

"Hey, my dad has seen you, but my mom hasn't. I have to send a photo to let her know what you look like."

After Du Xiaojing finished speaking, he started to lift Xu Jichang's quilt.

"Hey wait, I'm up, I'm up."

Xu Jichang quickly held her hand and quickly put on the clothes.

After washing and eating, after a while, the two walked out of the courtyard, ready to go to the unit's photo studio to take pictures.

"When we take a photo, everyone will know that we are dating."

Xu Jichang said.

Du Xiaojing didn't care about it: "If you know it, you know it. Anyway, I have already said hello to Uncle Gao, and the factory will not transfer me because we are in a relationship."

After speaking, she took the initiative to hold Xu Jichang's hand.

Hey, this girl is really brave.

Xu Jichang thought to himself, and held Du Xiaojing's hand tightly in his palm.

The two left early, and there were not many pedestrians on the street, but everyone who passed by looked at them with surprised eyes.

Speaking of which, folk customs in this era are still very conservative, and even a couple is embarrassed to hold hands on the street.

"A lot of people are watching us."

Du Xiaojing felt the gazes coming from all directions, and looked at Xu Jichang after a sly smile, "Are you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of, you will be my daughter-in-law from now on."

"What's wrong with holding hands?"

Xu Jichang said straightforwardly that Du Xiaojing was very happy after hearing this.

Yes, she likes this character.

The two kept holding hands, and they let go only when they reached the door of the unit.

It's not that the people in the fertilizer factory will see it, but because the people inside are colleagues after all, and no one wants to spread the news about their date in the unit every day.

Xu Jichang and Du Xiaojing came to the photo studio from the gate of the unit, only to see that the door of the photo studio was closed, and the person in charge of taking pictures hadn't come yet.

"Just wait, I guess they all have to go to work at a certain time."

Du Xiaojing said.

Xu Jichang shook his head: "Not necessarily, it may be a little later."

There are few people taking pictures these days, even if it is a unit photo studio with a regular source of customers, there must be few people.

Under such circumstances, it was expected that the staff of the photo studio would arrive late and leave early.

The two stood at the door of the photo studio and waited for a while until the staff came to open the door.

"Do you want to take photos with your virginity?"

the staff asked as they opened the door.

"Yeah, take a good look for us."

Xu Jichang said generously.

Du Xiaojing listened to it and felt excited.

It was the first time that Xu Jichang admitted the relationship between the two in front of his work colleagues.

This is a big deal.

Even though she was always as bold and open-minded as she was, she lowered her head in embarrassment after getting excited, for fear of other people's eyes.

Fortunately, the staff in the photo studio didn't say much, they opened the door step by step, set up the camera and let the two of them take pictures.

"Crack."

"Crack."

Accompanied by the sound, the camera recorded the voices and smiles of the two at this moment.

These days, most people are very serious when facing the camera because they don't take many photos and the times.

Xu Jichang and Du Xiaojing are exceptions.

One of them is a time traveler, and the other has an extraordinary background, so when they face the camera, they are full of smiles, without a trace of stiffness.

"One dollar for photography fee."

After taking pictures, the unit photographer said to the two of them.

Xu Jichang handed him the money and got a slip from him: "Tomorrow afternoon, use this slip to get the photo."

"A total of five laundered, plus a dime."

Xu Jichang took the list, said "Got it", took Du Xiaojing's hand, turned around and left the photo studio, and went back to the security office of the two.

In front of people from the same unit, Du Xiaojing held his hand and looked a little nervous, but he quickly returned to normal.

On the way to the office, the two met many employees at work, and everyone looked at them with surprise.

These days, there are a few lovers who dare to hold hands in public, but not many.

Xu Jichang and Du Xiaojing's publicity today is considered a small piece of news in a state-run unit like Dongfang Chemical Fertilizer Factory.

Seeing this scene, many people focused their attention.

Of course, the ones who care most are the unmarried lesbians.

Xu Jichang was the dream lover of many of them, and seeing him and Du Xiaojing in public now, these girls felt a little bit disappointed.

"Hey, there was no news at all, so why did you get involved?"

"That's right. If I had known earlier, I would have acted quickly and found him first..."

"Hey, don't be so shameless. Besides, Du Xiaojing is tall and beautiful, with snow-white skin. She is also a female educated youth from the capital. No one can compare to her."

"Look at what you said... After Xu Jichang joined the job, Du Xiaojing didn't follow him immediately. If I could have seized the gap..."

The female employees looked behind the two men and muttered, but none of them could escape Xu Jichang's ears.

Free time?Oh, it doesn't exist for him.

These female employees really think too much.

When the two returned to the office, there was no one left in the room. The cadres and workers were all on duty outside, checking posts, so there was no official announcement to everyone.

Some of Xu Jichang's acquaintances in other departments came over to inquire about the situation. Xu Jichang was very calm and told them about the relationship between Du Xiaojing and himself.

Everyone didn't say anything else, they all expressed their congratulations, because in everyone's eyes Xu Jichang and Du Xiaojing really matched well.

One is a well-known hero in the whole factory, the youngest official-level cadre, and the other is a tall, bright and beautiful woman known to all employees, with a proper appearance.

After get off work in the evening, it was Xu Jichang's turn to be on duty. Du Xiaojing wanted to stay with him, but he refused.

"You go back and rest, I'll be fine by myself."

Taking advantage of no one in the office, Xu Jichang kissed Du Xiaojing on the face.

Du Xiaojing first covered the place where he kissed, looked around to make sure no one was there, and kissed him on the face with his eyes closed.

"Then pay attention when you are on duty, don't catch a cold."

"Okay, you go back quickly."

Xu Jichang and Du Xiaojing said to each other.

After Du Xiaojing left, Xu Jichang closed the door of the house, dragged out the army bed, put the wolf fur mattress on it, and prepared to go to bed when it was late.

"Tuk Tuk."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

Xu Jichang frowned slightly: Could it be that something happened in the factory?

"Who is it? What's the matter?"

He asked loudly as he walked towards the door.

The people outside the door just kept silent.

Xu Jichang muttered in his heart and instinctively held the May [-]th-style big black star he was wearing: It couldn't be late at night, someone wanted to attack the person on duty, right?
Not to mention, theoretically speaking, a person like him who is armed and on duty alone is really the best target for attack, because once the criminal succeeds, he will have a gun in his hand.

Thinking of this, Xu Jichang raised his vigilance by 12, and his movements became light-footed.

He is not overly cautious, but because he has really seen some real crime records in the seventies and 80s, and knows what dangers lurk in the world.

"Whoa!"

When he came to the door, he yanked the office door open and drew his gun.

The visitor was startled by his sudden opening of the door, and took two steps back abruptly.

Well, it wasn't anyone else who came, but You Qingxia.

"What's the matter? It's quiet at night, and it's intentional to scare people."

Xu Jichang put the gun back into its holster and said with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Seeing his displeasure, You Qingxia didn't dare to go forward.

"I... am I afraid of being heard by others..."

She said in an aggrieved voice.

"I'm afraid, I'm the only one in the whole office building."

Xu Jichang said lightly, "If you have something to say, come in and say it, don't freeze outside."

After finishing speaking, he turned and entered the door, and You Qingxia followed him in with aggrieved.

"Snapped."

After closing the door, Xu Jichang first slapped her on the buttocks, "Don't ask the reason, it's just the gods talking about it at night."

"Calling a door is like a criminal attacking."

But to his surprise, You Qingxia didn't protest at all this time, she just stood obediently in front of him, bowed her head and said nothing.

Xu Jichang understood that she was pretending to be serious.

"Why, are you done practicing?"

he asked nonchalantly.

"Well, I just came out of the practice room."

You Qingxia said with hesitation in her voice, "I have something to tell you."

"What's the matter, talk about it."

Xu Jichang said calmly.

"That's right, I heard that you and Du Xiaojing have started dating publicly today."

"Then should we..."

You Qingxia looked at Xu Jichang with somewhat uncertain eyes and said.

"What, you want to run?"

Xu Jichang glanced at her and said.

"No, no, I didn't mean that."

You Qingxia explained half panicked and half scared.

Because of the special opportunity for establishing a relationship with Xu Jichang at the beginning, and the various things they got along with in the future, she still has fear of Xu Jichang deep in her heart.

"I was thinking that since you are with a nice girl, does that mean... you don't want me anymore?"

When You Qingxia said this, she looked at Xu Jichang anxiously.

She didn't mean to leave Xu Jichang in her heart, but she just felt that Xu Jichang and Du Xiaojing had made their relationship public, so they would break up with her in the future.

She came here today mainly to find out Xu Jichang's attitude in this regard.

Xu Jichang smiled immediately: "Who said I don't want you anymore?"

"You are such a beautiful person, why should I let you go?"

Uh……

It was obvious that Xu Jichang's words were a compliment to herself, but You Qingxia still blushed when she heard it.

"Then, if Du Xiaojing finds out, will he..."

She looked at Xu Jichang tentatively and said.

When she learned that Xu Jichang would not abandon her, You Qingxia felt very complicated.

There is both an accident and a sense of peace of mind that the stone has fallen to the ground.

As the saying goes, long time makes love, and now she has feelings of love and fear for Xu Jichang.

And since she has Xu Jichang's support, her expenses are much higher than when she was the head of the art troupe.

It is difficult to go from extravagance to frugality, once she is abandoned by Xu Jichang, her life will be really sad in the future...

"You don't have to worry about it, I will take care of it."

Xu Jichang waved his hand and said nonchalantly, "You just need to serve me comfortably."

After finishing speaking, he grabbed You Qingxia's jade hand.

You Qingxia stepped back in a panic: "You...what do you want?"

"This is in the office."

"I didn't know it was an office."

Xu Jichang said unmoved, "Anyway, there is no one now."

After finishing speaking, he continued to hold You Qingxia's hand, sat on the chair by himself, and pointed his finger to the ground: "Kneel down."

kneel down?

You Qingxia's heart thumped, and an expression of extreme shame appeared in her beautiful eyes.

However, facing Xu Jichang's incomparable toughness, after some hesitation, she obediently knelt down in front of the chair.
