Marriage is too late

Chapter 13

Ji Jin took a slight breath, calmed down immediately, and gave himself psychological training. This is like taking swimming lessons with boys, only the upper body. How many magazines and posters are more exciting than this, and besides, everyone surfed the waves together, it’s nothing. Nothing really.

But last time it was on the noisy beach, this time it was in a quiet room with no one else, a lonely man and a widow, and he was her husband in name.

After living as a "roommate" for just one night on the honeymoon, Ji Jin really didn't think it was a big problem to share the same room with Lin Xuxing. They both had their own rooms and suites, so each room had its own bathroom. Dress tidy and tidy to meet, natural and casual.

At this moment, in such a late night, Lin Xuxing appeared with his upper body naked and wrapped in a bath towel, which really made her defenseless.

"Can fried egg noodles be this fragrant?" Lin Xuxing didn't realize it, and took two steps closer to her. The sober and refreshing aroma of men's shower gel wafted over, and Ji Jin couldn't help but took two steps back, pretending to get the plate.

"I cooked some broth, and the bottom is very fragrant." Ji Jin turned to chop the onion, not paying attention to Lin Xuxing, "Go and change your clothes, it will be ready soon." She reminded him.

"Okay, sorry to trouble you." Only then did Lin Xuxing realize what he was wearing.He just came out of the shower, leaning on the head of the bed, covering his eyes with his arms, thinking about whether there was anything missing in today's arrangement, maybe it was due to the exhaustion of days, and fell asleep without knowing it.

What awakened Lin Xuxing was the strong aroma from the kitchen. He hadn't eaten well at first, and when he opened his eyes in a daze, a strong desire for hunger pierced through his chest and abdomen. Adapting to Ji Jin's presence, he followed his instinct and went straight to the kitchen.

What's more, he has lived in a university apartment in country m, and he even witnessed the female student next door going in and out of the corridor in underwear.

It wasn't until Ji Jin reminded him that he realized this problem, which was not called a problem at all.

He turned and went back to his room to change clothes, Ji Jin began to struggle with his thoughts, should he add a clause in their shared living contract that everyone must be fully dressed before appearing in public areas?
Before she was allowed to think about it, the face was ready.

Delicious thick soup, white and smooth noodles, golden and attractive fried eggs, two slices of emerald green lettuce, and a pinch of spicy and flavorful shallots.

Lin Xuxing eats very politely, but at a very fast pace.Ji Jin hadn't finished half a bowl of noodles yet, but he had already bottomed out a big bowl.

Lin Xuxing looked at his empty noodle bowl hesitantly.

Ji Jin stopped to look at his troubled expression, his mind was agitated, he suddenly realized, and asked in a tentative tone: "Do you want another bowl?"

Lin Xuxing raised his head from Shan Ruliu, and nodded: "Two taels are enough."

"Soon, next time, just fry an egg, and there's soup." Ji Jin stood up immediately, and her hand was grabbed by Lin Xuxing.

"Don't worry, finish your bowl first." He said in a warm voice, without any compulsion.

Ji Jin was still hesitating, but Lin Xuxing had already let go, then took out a magazine from the bookshelf on the side of Nakajima, sat down and read it: "Eat slowly, I will accompany you."

There is absolutely no reason to refuse.Ji Jin had no choice but to sit down again and finish the noodles in the bowl as soon as possible.

Lin Xuxing seemed to be concentrating on reading the magazine, but he glanced at Ji Jin out of the corner of his eye. Her fingers holding the noodles were gentle, resting on the thin black chopsticks. Black and white contrasted, and under the projection of the dining room lights, there was a circle of soft light .

She puffed out her cheeks while chewing something while staring blankly. Whenever her mind wandered too far, her eyes would be a little blurred, unlike when she focused on answering his questions, her eyes were obedient and keen, and she was an obedient subordinate.

Choosing her to negotiate a marriage may really be the right bet!

Ji Jin finished eating in a hurry, and brought the two bowls to the sink. He stared at Ji Jin's busy figure in the open western kitchen.

Ji Jin moves swiftly, chopping vegetables and onions as fast as a pier in a restaurant, and the sound of the kitchen knife hitting the table is as dense as raindrops, which can be heard endlessly.

"I can't see that you have such good cooking skills." Lin Xuxing was a little surprised. Ji Jin had just graduated from university, and in his impression, it was rare for such a person to have such a quick knife skill.

Ji Jin replied lightly: "I just like it." Do you really like it?Not necessarily.

There used to be such a long period of fulfilling and busy years, facing oily smoke and charcoal fire every day. At that time, time passed faster than ever before, and she had to be quick, fast and capable, otherwise the time for evening self-study would come. Don't want to miss the evening math tutoring.

During that time, she lived a tense and busy life, and even hoped that she would never have to continue to deal with endless ingredients and endless oily fumes. Looking back now, those days have long since become a luxury.Only the subconscious quick knife skills reminded her of a little connection with the past.

Ji Jin cooked another bowl of noodles and brought it to Lin Xuxing. Lin Xuxing watched her yawn, with tears in his eyes, and said, "Go take a bath and rest, I'll clean it up later."

Ji Jin was still hesitating, Lin Xuxing was clear and organized, and it seemed that the voice of assigning work sounded again: "Since we are roommates, it's reasonable for you to cook and I to wash the dishes, so go."

"Okay, good night then." Ji Jin slapped on her little bunny slippers and walked into her room at the end of the corridor.

Lin Xuxing sat under the lamp in the dining room, eating a long-lost bowl of home-cooked fried egg noodles in thick soup, and felt a sense of home, which he relished again in his many years of life.

Across the wall, Ji Jin was already so tired that she was about to collapse. You must know that she was still breathing the moist and salty sea breeze by the sea early this morning, and she had already entered into an equity war in full swing at night.Her spirit is still high, and what she has seen and learned tonight is worth savoring again and again, but her body is already protesting.

She hurriedly removed her make-up and took a shower. While drying her hair in front of the dressing table, she found a credit card with a note below: "The password is your birthday, the last two digits of the year + month + date, and the amount is 3. I will be responsible for it." Pay off credit card bills, monthly household expenses and your living expenses. Please contact me if you have other needs.”

Ji Jin was taken aback, holding the card and thinking, this is like Lin Xuxing's style, it's always one step ahead of you, but it doesn't make you feel embarrassed, pushing and pushing for money and family is indeed not acceptable to Lin Xuxing situation.Even the amount of 3 is just right, it is definitely enough to meet daily needs, but not to the point of casual consumption of luxury goods, not so small that it makes people feel stingy, and not so much that it scares her.

Ji Jin went to sleep peacefully and stayed awake all night until he was woken up by the alarm clock the next day. It has been a habit for many years. Ji Jin wants to run in the morning. Wake up, there is a kind of strength full of vitality.

The air in City C is not the best, but it is far better than the smog-covered imperial capital. Ji Jin still went out at six o'clock and passed by Lin Xuxing's room. It was quiet, and he probably hadn't woken up yet.Ji Jin used the app to check the surrounding routes in advance, chose one at random and started running, getting up 5 kilometers early every day, rain or shine.

Lin Xuxing's community is quiet amidst the hustle and bustle. It is the earliest villa area developed in City C. It is adjacent to a large municipal park indoors. In other directions, it is now surrounded by high-rise residential buildings and office buildings. It is not only in a prime location, but also Quiet and livable.

Ji Jin chose to run today's morning on the trails in the park. There are many elderly people doing morning exercises in the park, dancing Tai Chi sword vigorously, and it is a leisurely small town early in the morning.

Four or 10 minutes later, Ji Jin finished his morning exercise profusely in sweat. He passed by a breakfast stand outside the park and struggled for two seconds on whether Lin Xuxing would eat pancakes. He still chose to bring him an extra copy. He throws it away, roommates also need to be neighborly and friendly.

When Ji Jin returned home, Lin Xuxing had just woken up, and he was surprised: "So early?"

"I have the habit of running in the morning. I didn't disturb you in the morning, did I?" Ji Jin smiled, and wiped the sweat from his forehead with his wristband. "I'm going to take a shower first, and I'm sweating profusely." She put her breakfast on Zhongdao , rushed into the bathroom of his room.

Early in the morning, let your boss see that you are sweating!She really hasn't adapted to the "cohabitation routine" with her boss!

When Ji Jin finished changing and walked out of the room, Lin Xuhang made a pot of coffee. While drinking coffee, he... ate pancakes!

Boss, is it really appropriate for you to mix and match like this?

Lin Xuxing raised the breakfast in his hand and thanked her: "It's delicious, thank you." It's usually the first time he felt a different flavor when he bought 7-11 rice balls downstairs in the company for breakfast.

"You're welcome, it's a matter of convenience. I run every morning, and I have to buy it anyway." Ji Jin also started to mix and match breakfast style this morning.

"I'll go to the company later, what are your arrangements for today?" Lin Xuxing asked her.

"Monday, I also have to go to work at the company." Ji Jin looked back at him strangely. Could it be that there are other options for office workers?

"I just came back from my honeymoon, so I can rest for two days before we talk about it." Lin Xuxing felt a little surprised by her desperate efforts.

"After playing for seven or eight days, I had a very good rest. I'd better go to work." Ever since Ji Jin received the decision on the arrangement of the core team members' reserve service, countless items have flooded his mind, each of which represents a huge amount of work. When thinking of this, the only feeling she has is: she can't stop at all.

"I'll see you off." Lin Xuxing didn't force her, and started to pack his briefcase.

With a slightly embarrassed expression, Ji Jin still insisted on expressing his thoughts: "Thank you for your kindness, if possible, can you just take me to the nearest subway station?"

She spoke ambiguously, but Lin Xuxing understood what she meant. The whole company didn't know about the two of them getting married, and if they went out together, she would get out of his car early in the morning when he was going to work. Come down, there will be rumors everywhere.
