Come To My Office After Get Off Work - Chapter 122
Fanwai 01 First Encounter (Parallel World)
The rain in summer is always fickle.
The rain was so heavy that the whole city was foggy.
ding dong—
Hello, welcome.
The door of the convenience store opened and closed.
A middle-aged man came in, who seemed to be sheltering from the rain. He stepped on the water on the mat at the door and went into the store to buy something.
It was three o’clock in the afternoon, when traffic was low, and there was no one else in the store except him and the girl at the cashier.
It’s still raining outside, and it’s getting bigger and bigger.
Across the shelf, the middle-aged man has secretly glanced at the girl several times. He has been coming to this shop all the time recently, sometimes watching her secretly.
She is very thin, and she always wears a ball head at work, exposing her white neck. He doesn’t like to talk, and his eyes are always full of melancholy.
She likes to keep her head down, so she can always see her thin profile.
She also seems to like to organize things very much. A pair of white hands is slowly sorting the banknotes in the box. Because she is too thin, a small bone protrudes from her wrist, which makes people want to hold it.
The man observes so carefully that he can see the change in the girl’s skin color. Maybe it was a cloudy day. Today, she lacked a little blood, her skin was white, and it seemed that she had not rested well.
The man took a bucket of instant noodles on the shelf and gave her another look.
With a perfect appearance and a cold sense of rejection, how could such a girl exist? Fulfills almost all his fantasies…
Time passed quickly, the man walked around for seven or eight minutes, still the bucket of instant noodles in his hand, and finally he went to the cashier to check out.
closer to her.
A good smell floats into a man’s nose, if you can…
The man handed over the instant noodles, and the girl scanned the code without speaking.
“how much?”
“Five dollars.” The voice was cold, just like hers.
Di, scanned the code, the man did not leave.
“how old are you?”
Jiang Shu: ?
The man sneered, “I’ve been following you for a long time, you are so beautiful, have you considered changing jobs?”
Jiang Shu ignored him, turned around to add water to Kanto Boil, the coffee machine was still boiling, and the rain outside was rushing down. Other than that, it was a little too quiet.
The man didn’t speak, his eyes fell on Jiang Shu, looking at the operation in her hand, his throat slid unconsciously, seeing that Jiang Shu didn’t speak, he had to speak again:
“Help me get an Oden, two radishes and one kelp roll.”
Jiang Shu put the food into the box.
“More soup.”
So she scooped a spoonful of soup.
“how much?”
“Eight dollars.”
The man took out his mobile phone to pay again, and just as Jiang Shu was about to scan the code, the man reached out and held Jiang Shu’s wrist.
ding dong—
Hello, welcome.
It was raining heavily, and another girl came in. She was covered in moisture, and she saw such a scene the moment she came in.
The girl at the cashier was pinched by the middle-aged wretched uncle’s wrist. The girl struggled a bit, trying to get rid of it, but she was not as strong as a man.
Ji Lian’s anger is not in the same place, and in broad daylight, she can actually encounter sexual harassment!
“what are you doing!”
An exclamation startled the man.
There was just a row of umbrellas at the door, Ji Lianxing picked up an umbrella and rushed up with a few strides, holding the umbrella up and beating the middle-aged man.
“You can’t see such an obvious camera?! Disgusting thing!” Ji Lianxing stabbed him on the back several times, the man was beaten and screamed, Ji Lianxing continued to scold: “Buck! Beat you to death! “
“I was wrong! Wrong and wrong!” The man raised his hand in surrender, fled in a panic under Ji Lianxing’s curse, and finally fled into the rainstorm…
Ji Lianxing gasped and glanced sideways at Jiang Shu.
With just one glance, a strange feeling ran through her heart. It was elusive to understand the source of this feeling. She felt her heartbeat speed up a little bit, and she didn’t know if it was panic or something else.
Jiang Shu lowered his head slightly, and from Ji Lianxing’s point of view, he could just see her straight nose and lips.
She was staring at her wrist, the bony bulge was a little red, and one hand was rubbing the other, as if twisted.
“Are you all right?” Ji Lianxing’s voice softened a lot, put down the umbrella in his hand and walked towards Jiang Shu.
Jiang Shu then raised his head to look at Ji Lianxing, the eyes of the two met, and they were both stunned.
Making eye contact, Ji Lianxing held her breath, feeling her heart pounding, as if her DNA was moving, how could she do this! What! good! Look! ?
“Well, it’s alright, thank you.” Facing Ji Lianxing’s gaze, Jiang Shu was at a loss, so he could only lower his head and scoop the soup from the Oden into a cup, using this action to hide his inner panic.
“No thanks, but next time you have to pay attention to safety.” Ji Lianxing looked around, “Why are you the only one in the store?”
“Someone else has something to do.” Jiang Shu put a few **** in the cup and added some soup. Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Ji Lianxing, who was already picking food on the shelf.
Compared with the middle-aged man just now, Ji Lianxing’s shopping speed was very fast. When she came to checkout with some snacks, Jiang Shu happened to finish the oden.
So Jiang Shu started to check out, and Ji Lianxing stood there watching her check out.
She stared at her hand, the slender wrist gave a feeling of frailty, very thin and white.
The price of the food was swept bag by bag, and Ji Lianxing regretted that he had taken such a little thing.
“What’s your name? My name is Ji Lianxing.”
“Jiang Shu.”
“Your name is so nice.” Ji Lianxing almost blurted out.
Jiang Shu’s heart was filled with ripples, and he couldn’t tell the feeling. Does this name sound good? She was the first to say so.
After the bill was settled, Ji Lianxing scanned the QR code to pay, and gave Jiang Shu another look.
“Is your hand really okay? Would you like to take a leave of absence?”
Jiang Shu shook his head, this pain is nothing, “It’s alright, it’s gone.” She picked up the Oden beside her, handed it to Ji Lianxing, and said, “For you.”
“For me?”
“Well, no money, thank you just now…”
“That’s what it should be. By the way, you remember to call the surveillance police and deal with that person, or else come to harass you again?” Ji Lianxing glanced at the time, “I’m sorry I have to go first, I still have class.”
Jiang Shu nodded, “Go ahead.”
It was raining heavily, Ji Lianxing rushed into the rainforest with an umbrella, and Jiang Shu stood at the cash register, watching her leaving figure until the tall figure disappeared from sight…
She said her name was Ji Lianxing.
How could she not know that she is Ji Lianxing? A student of N University, a sophomore reading, very famous. The family has money, looks good, and has good grades…
It is the envy of many people.
On the other hand, Jiang Shu himself, without relatives or reasons, worked hard to live alone.
Fortunately, she just went to graduate school this year and became a graduate student of N University. The way she supports herself is to work in a convenience store, which is just one of her part-time jobs.
But this is the last week, next week you can get your salary, and then quit…
They are two people living in completely different worlds.
Jiang Shu pulled back his thoughts and continued to work. Soon, the rain outside gradually eased, and people came to the convenience store one after another…
It seems to be just an episode, just like this rain comes and goes quickly.
Jiang Shu didn’t take it to heart, so when Ji Lianxing came to the convenience store again at night, she was not surprised that it was fake.
What is she here for? Shopping? Or find yourself?
After thinking about it, Jiang Shu still had no expression on her face. She glanced at it and saw what Ji Lianxing was holding in her hand.
Jiang Shu was a little embarrassed and didn’t know if he should take the initiative to greet her, because the supervisor was also in the store.
Ji Lianxing went to the shelf and took some random things to check out, during which time he asked Jiang Shu, “What time do you get off work?”
“Five minutes left.”
“Then I’ll wait for you at the door~”
I don’t know why Ji Lianxing waited for her, but it was very strange. They didn’t know each other well, and Ji Lianxing suddenly came to her, so why?
Five minutes later, Jiang Shu handed over his shift.
After a long day of work, I was quite tired, and when I went out, there was a figure standing at the door.
Jiang Shu just wanted to speak, but the other party said hello first: “Hi~”
“Hello……”
Ji Lianxing was already walking towards her, handing her the bag in his hand.
“what is this?”
“The plaster to wipe your hands, wipe it.”
Jiang Shu didn’t expect her to send this? What a small thing, even she forgot about the injury on her hand, but when Ji Lianxing mentioned it, Jiang Shu felt that her wrist really hurt a little.
“Thank you, I’m fine, keep the medicine for yourself.” She pushed the medicine back.
As a result, Ji Lianxing pushed over again and said, “You see your hands are still red, you can paint a lot better. I talked about you with my friend today, she said she knew you, and said you were from our school. Graduate student, then I should call you Sister Yisheng.”
“Um.”
Jiang Shu didn’t know how to respond except “um”. She didn’t often communicate with people like this, she was too active, and she was introverted and didn’t know how to deal with such enthusiasm. If it was someone else, she might be colder.
But this is Ji Lianxing, probably because she helped her during the day, Jiang Shu didn’t want to brush her good intentions.
“So senpai, have you eaten yet?”
“Have eaten.” Jiang Shu lied.
“Oh, well, where do you live? The school dormitory?”
“No.” In order not to be disturbed during the postgraduate entrance examination, Jiang Shu chose to rent a house in a community not far from here, “I rent a house.”
“It’s so late, shall I take you home?” Ji Lianxing took out the car key from his pocket, pressed it, and the car across the street lit up.
Jiang Shu glanced at it, it was a sports car.
Well, the sophomore student driving a sports car is a world she has never touched.
“No need, it’s very close, I’ll just go back by myself.” Jiang Shu has already taken steps towards home.
Behind her, Ji Lianxing followed her and said, “Sister, can I come with you?”
Jiang Shu began to refuse, “It’s very late, do you want to go back? It’s not safe for your children and children to be alone.”
“It’s not safe for you to go back, should I take you? I’ll drive back, it’s safe.”
Jiang Shu stopped, and Ji Lianxing also stopped.
“Why?” Maybe it was because she had always been very wary. Jiang Shu didn’t believe that someone would suddenly be nice to her. “Thank you for helping me during the day, but you make me wonder.”
Feeling her tone, Ji Lianxing panicked, “I’m not a bad person! I just want to be friends with you. I don’t know why, but I think you are very kind.”
Jiang Shu didn’t speak.
Seeing her silence, Ji Lianxing was a little lost. Maybe she was too abrupt and reckless, scaring her?
“It’s okay, if senpai doesn’t want to, I won’t—”
Jiang Shu interrupted her: “Yes.”
“Ah? What can it be?”
“Can be friends.”
