Marriage is too late

Chapter 22

Ji Jin's heart skipped a beat. Fortunately, she had just finished putting on her underwear, but a large piece of bare snow-white skin was faintly visible in the mist in the bathroom. She hugged her clothes to her chest, her whole body tensed.

When Lin Xuxing came in, he brought a bath towel, quickly wrapped Ji Jin up and helped her up: "What's wrong? Did you faint? The water is too hot?"

Ji Jin waved his hand weakly, Lin Xuxing carried her to the bed in her room without saying a word, and wrapped her in a quilt.Only then did Ji Jin feel a sense of security, thinking silently in his heart, Lin Xuxing is worthy of a gentleman, he didn't even glance at her just now, and his movements to touch her, if not necessary, would never be beyond courtesy.

"How is it? Where did you drop it?" Lin Xuxing took out his phone, "I'll let the doctor take a look."

"No, no, it's okay." Ji Jin hurriedly pressed his hand, "It just slipped accidentally, it's really okay."

"How much is this?" Lin Xuxing raised two slender fingers.

"Two." Ji Jin quickly replied.

"What is 76 plus 23?" Lin Xuxing continued to ask.

"99." Ji Jin was very cooperative.

"What day is it today?" Lin Xuxing still didn't stop.

"Monday? I fell down the mountain yesterday on Sunday, and today should be Monday." Ji Jin suddenly widened his eyes, "Damn it, today is Monday, and those suppliers ordered today, no, no, I want to give Mr. Gu Make a call, where is my cell phone?"

"It doesn't look like a problem." Lin Xuxing breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where is my mobile phone?" Ji Jin was a little anxious. If the returned goods could not arrive on time, it would be a big problem that would affect the progress of the overall project. Once the accident happened, she completely forgot about these trivial matters , once reality returns, these pressing man-marking issues arise and must be addressed immediately.

"It should still be with the rescue team. I forgot to take it back." Lin Xuxing thought for a while and said slowly, "Besides, you just suffered a huge accident. What you should do now is to take a good rest. Don't think about it." These things, without you, if a company can’t operate well, then the company’s operating status is very problematic, and such a company is definitely not brought out by me.”

Lin Xuxing took out Ji Jin's clothes from the bathroom, put them beside her, took out a dry towel, and put it on top of Ji Jin's head: "Put on clothes first, then dry your hair, drink some soup, everything Don't worry, get some sleep."

"Why don't you lend me your mobile phone?" Ji Jin thought to herself, it's not realistic to find her own mobile phone now, and it's not a good time to disclose her marriage, but it was brought out for her own sake The project, even without Lin Xuxing's cell phone.

Lin Xuxing felt a bit of a headache for the first time. Ji Jin didn't seem to listen to everything he said. He just focused on calling Gu Qiang. He squatted down and looked Ji Jin in the eye: "Take a good rest, the company I'll follow you."

"No, no, I'll follow by myself." Ji Jin blurted out, and then waved his hands in panic, "I don't mean anything else, I just think that I must do what you arranged for me to do well."

"I'll arrange for you to heal your injury now." Lin Xuxing simply sat by the bed and talked to her about the issues that he had wanted to talk to her before, "Ji Jin, I actually wanted to talk to you a long time ago. You are working hard for the company's affairs. To be honest, I am very pleased. You are very smart and motivated. As long as you can maintain this state, your future is limitless. However, a career is a marathon. You can’t run like a [-]-meter race, and you’re going to quit this important marathon soon because of premature exhaustion or injury, you know what I mean?”

Ji Jin lowered his eyelids and said nothing.

Lin Xuxing didn't force her, and still said in a gentle voice: "You haven't had a rest day for a month and a half, and your daily running time has gradually shortened from one hour to half an hour, and you haven't even gone for a day or two. It's getting shorter and shorter, and your anxiety is gradually increasing, am I right?"

Ji Jin was shocked, how did he know?

Lin Xuxing lowered his head and coughed twice, as if he wanted to hide his embarrassment: "I'm sorry for making you feel that I was spying on your privacy. You wash your sports towel after exercising every day. I didn't see your sports towel for a few days ago Hanging out, so I assume you haven't been running for a few days. Then one day I just woke up early and noticed that your exercise time was shortened.

Your sleep time is better inferred, I can hear you coming home almost every day in the room, from the time I can still say hello to you, to the time I have gone to bed, you come back later and later, And keeping the time of getting up and exercising almost the same, it is natural to sleep less and less.

Your unconscious small movements are increasing, such as frowning, flicking of fingers, and nervousness in grasping the mobile phone. These small movements all indicate your increasingly anxious working state.More importantly, I have also experienced all of what you are going through now. It is a state of failure or failure, I understand, so I hope to give you some advice.You can take your time and take your time. "

Ji Jin raised his head and smiled at him: "Thank you, Ah Xing, you are really a good person."

Lin Xuxing's heart was full of alarm bells, he didn't care about being issued a good person card, what he cared about was Ji Jin's attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away with a smile, which translates to "I understand what you said, but I won't do that."

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, Lin Xuxing stood up, and said softly, "The mobile phone is in my study, you can get it yourself after you get dressed, I'll go out first."

He turned and went out, and gently closed the door, the door lock clicked, like Ji Jin's closed heart.

Ji Jin didn't relax until Lin Xu walked out, she buried herself in the quilt, and wrapped her in a bath towel that Lin Xuxing often used, black, with a refreshing and pleasant smell of bath liquid.Ji Jin suddenly felt a little dazed, he actually used the same brand of body wash as him, no wonder Lin Xuxing gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity at certain inadvertent moments.

She slowly put on her clothes under the quilt, her mind was in a mess, she knew that the conversation just now was Lin Xuxing's kindness, and her attitude was bad, but she couldn't control it.

Ji Jin managed to put on her home clothes, moved herself to the bedside, and went to Lin Xuxing's study with a cane.The door of the study room was not closed, Lin Xuxing was sitting behind the desk in a daze, with a book in his hand, holding it vaguely, his eyes did not fall on the book, but looking at the vast twilight outside the window.The halo of the desk lamp set off everything peacefully and beautifully, and Ji Jin suddenly couldn't bear to disturb him.

Standing quietly at the door of the study, she suddenly felt his kindness, why did she have the heart to let him down?
"Come in, the phone is here." Lin Xuxing didn't look back, the sound of her crutches went from far to near, and finally stopped at the door, but he didn't hear her soft voice for a long time, and he took the initiative to speak.

"Thank you, Ah Xing." Ji Jin tried his best to speak sincerely, "Really, no one has ever cared for me like this. I really appreciate you very, very much."

Lin Xuxing went straight to the point: "What are you working so hard for?"

Ji Jin was taken aback, smiled wryly, and talking to Lin Xuxing was really worry-free but also very scary, he could always understand at a glance what you tried so hard to hide.

"Do you know what I was thinking just now?" Lin Xuxing's eyes wandered, as if he didn't care much about Ji Jin's answer.

"I don't know." Ji Jin replied honestly.

"I suddenly remembered the first time you asked me for a position." Lin Xuxing's expression seemed to be lost in memory, and he whispered, "I forgot all the other details, I just remember your attitude. position, you will never let it go."

Ji Jin froze, but he still remembered.She sat across from him with some embarrassment, and said softly: "I just lost my job at that time, and I can't see that I won't be able to eat for the next month. I went to KFC to try my luck, and to tell you the truth, I only had 86 yuan for my whole body at that time, and that was all my belongings."

"It's better than when I was in the most embarrassing time. For a period of time, I have been living on credit cards, and I can barely pay the minimum installment repayment amount every month. I have been in negative equity for a long, long time." Lin Xuxing smiled, It doesn't seem to care.

Ji Jin's heart was shocked, she did not expect that Lin Xuxing, who seems to be in high spirits now, also had a moment when he was pushed to a desperate situation by life.

"Life will always get better, as long as you have your own direction." Lin Xuxing said softly, "No matter how difficult you feel at the moment, when you look back later, it is not a time worthy of praise, but tempering is also another way of life."

Ji Jin looked at his extraordinarily soft gaze under the light, and suddenly mustered up his courage: "I can't stop, I want to grow up in the fastest way, to tell you the truth, I have a very important wish, and this wish requires flowers. I lost a huge sum of money, and in my lifetime, I hope to fulfill this wish sooner.”

Lin Xuxing pondered for a while: "It is indeed not a small wish that 1000 million people cannot satisfy in three years' time."

"Not only can't be satisfied, but it's even far, far away." Ji Jin smiled bitterly. She couldn't even tell him that she chose to enter this industry at the beginning because there was never a shortage of myths about getting rich overnight in this industry. She didn't have time Steady and steady, she can only do her best.

"Then, let's talk about whether there are other ways to allow you to achieve your wish faster." Lin Xuxing showed a relaxed smile.

Ji Jin was taken aback, Mr. Boss, are you planning to help me?
"Aren't you going to ask me what my wish is?" Ji Jin asked back.

"Will you tell me?" Lin Xuxing looked at her burningly.
