Winter vacation followed the final exams, and as expected, Jiang Yi had been drinking outside every day since the day the exams ended. But Su Jing hadn't come up with a good excuse.

On the third day after the exam, Su Jing had another fight with her good-for-nothing brother at home, and they even came to blows. Su Jing spent the entire afternoon lying in bed, and she decided to move up her plans and go out to look for an apartment the next day.

I looked at the calendar and it was February 1st. Chinese New Year is only a week away. Going out to look for a house now is such a headache!

February 1st? Su Jing suddenly remembered something. No, something is going to happen today! No, that's not right. Something is going to happen tomorrow!

In a previous life, two days before New Year's Eve, a newspaper reported a story: a brawl erupted between two men at a nightclub over a woman's affections, resulting in one man's death and three injuries. Jiang Yi was among them, an accomplice, detained for twenty days, spending the entire New Year in the detention center. From then on, he remained with that gang, until he embarked on a path of no return.

No, Su Jing felt she had to do something to stop Jiang Yi from hanging out with that group again. But she couldn't think of a good reason. She jumped up and put on her clothes, ignoring her mother's dissatisfaction and scolding as she left the house.

When someone knocked on Jiang Yi's door, he was still sitting on the sofa watching a movie. He thought it was a friend, so he came out to open the door with his pants held up. But when he opened the door, he saw Su Jing's face. He was stunned. Damn, he was just thinking about her... Um... How come she suddenly appeared?

Jiang Yi's face flushed and he was confused as he stood at the door.

"Young Master Jiang, can you do me a favor?" Su Jing asked.

"Huh?" Jiang Yi felt strange. Did this girl need help sometimes? At this moment, some indescribable sounds came from the TV that hadn't been paused. The two of them just stood there in a daze.

A second later, Master Jiang reacted and slammed the door shut, leaving Su Jing staring at the door in a daze: "Isn't it just a movie? Is there any need to hide from me?"

Five seconds later, the door opened again, and Jiang Yi asked her to come in with an embarrassed smile.

She sat down on the sofa, glanced at a few paper balls in the trash can next to the coffee table, and twitched the corners of her mouth imperceptibly.

"What can I do for you?" Jiang Yi said, handing her a cup of hot fruit juice.

"Borrow money, borrow people, borrow cars." Su Jing said.

"Huh?" Jiang Yi was surprised. "I can borrow money, but who should I borrow from? And why would I borrow a car?"

Su Jing deliberately took a few deep breaths, composed her words, and said with drooping eyelids, "I had an argument with my family yesterday and beat up my brother. My mom told me to get out."

"Hmm?" Jiang Yi responded and waited for her to continue.

"I have no place to stay today and no money, so..." Su Jing looked up at him, showing a rare helpless look.

"You want to borrow money for a hotel?"

"Well, only you can help with this."

They were still students and didn't have ID cards, so they couldn't get a room. Su Jing didn't dare go to the cheap hotels near the train station, as they were full of all kinds of people.

"Can you please ask your dad..." Su Jing hesitated for a moment, then continued, "I know you are angry with him, but, but, today..."

"It's fine to rent a room for a few days, and I don't need to look for him. But what about borrowing people and cars?" Jiang Yi asked

"Uh..." Su Jing suddenly couldn't think of the next thing to say to give him a reason not to go drinking with that group of people tonight. She lowered her head, pretended to wipe away tears, paused, took a deep breath and said, "That morning when I came home from your house, I found out that my brother had stolen my passbook, so I had a fight with them. Today, I forgot to take something out, and when I went back to get it, I found him in my room again, so I beat him up, and then my mother kicked me out. So, I plan to find a place to move out in the next few days."

"So you're borrowing people and cars to help you move?" Jiang Yi smiled, a smile that made him look like he was about to have a conspiracy. "Then how are you going to thank me?"

"Oh, you saved my life last time but I didn't repay you with my body. Now you want me to thank you? How can I thank you? Should I thank you for your kindness and work like a slave for you in the next life?" Su Jing glanced at him.

They both laughed. Actually, they'd always had a good relationship. Su Jing had expressed her affection for him, both openly and covertly, but Jiang Yi, with so many other girls liking him, kept his distance. His relationship with Su Jing was more than friendship, but not quite love. Their trust was high, so they didn't mince words.

After laughing for a while, Su Jing said, "I replenished my bankbook. That guy didn't have time to take it away. There's probably over two thousand yuan left. I don't know if it's enough to pay for six months' rent, food, and other things. So..." Su Jing felt a little embarrassed. It's always embarrassing to ask someone for money, no matter how close the relationship is. "That's why I thought I'd borrow some from you. After I get settled, I'll work part-time after the New Year. I should be able to pay you back in about six months."

The room was warm, and the fruit in her hands felt so cozy and comfortable. Su Jing didn't dare look at Jiang Yi's face again, and lowered her head slightly. Although it was a temporary excuse, it was indeed her current situation. No one wanted to show their embarrassment in front of others, especially in front of the person they loved.

The phone rang at the right time when they were all silent. Jiang Yi answered it. As expected, it was someone asking him to go out for drinks in the evening, and also emphasized that there was a beautiful sister who was a few years older than them, who was the mature type that Jiang Yi liked.

Damn it, Su Jing cursed inwardly. This was the woman who had experienced many of Jiang Yi's firsts in his previous life: his first time taking drugs, his first time sleeping with a woman...

A feeling of unwillingness, anger and some other complex emotions suddenly rushed to Su Jing's head. She suddenly burst into tears without any warning, crying for no apparent reason, but she couldn't control herself.

Seeing Su Jing crying, Jiang Yi was also stunned. He held the phone and didn't know what to say to the guy on the phone. But the person on the phone heard a girl crying on his side and asked him: "Is there anyone at home? A girl?"

"Yeah," Jiang Yi answered vaguely.

"Hehehe, then you enjoy it first, we'll..." The other party smiled maliciously, said an address and hung up. He probably thought he brought a girl home for that.

The house was very quiet, and the phone was very loud. Su Jing, who was sitting very close, could hear it clearly. The atmosphere between the two of them became a little awkward after hanging up the phone. Su Jing didn't cry out loud anymore, but she couldn't stop crying.

Jiang Yi watched her wiping her tears without saying a word, but just kept handing her tissues.

After a while, Su Jing finally stopped and asked tentatively: "Can you, um, not go play with them today?"

Jiang Yi looked at her for a long time, smiled, and said, "You will cry!" There was unexpected happiness in his tone.

"You?" Su Jing was a little embarrassed and annoyed. She was about to scold him, but suddenly remembered that in her past life, he'd despised her for being too strong, not like a woman, and only realized her feelings after everyone had missed her. Ah, no, no, no, this can't be the case this time. I need him to find out who he truly loves sooner rather than later. As long as it keeps him from meeting that woman, what's the point of pretending to be weak now?

She immediately put on a shy expression, lowered her head, and changed her tone to a cautious one: "Or, can you help me get a room and then go play with them? I, I won't waste your time. If I couldn't get a room myself, I wouldn't bother you."

Jiang Yi's mood suddenly brightened, the haze between his brows vanishing. He temporarily put aside the shadows of his father's infidelity and his parents' divorce. He picked up the phone and dialed his father's number, 9093... At that time, mobile phones still had numbers starting with 9.

The call was connected, and the noisy sound coming from the receiver indicated that his playboy father was drinking in some busy place again.

"Dad, please ask someone to arrange a room for me." Jiang Yi shouted loudly into the receiver.

"Arrange a room? What for? What are you up to?" Father Jiang's voice was filled with alarm when his son, who was in a cold war with him, suddenly called to book a room. Although he himself was a playboy, he was very strict with his son and would not allow him to fool around at his age.

"One of my classmates had a fight with his family and was kicked out. He has nowhere to live."

"There's no one at home. Your bed is so big, why don't I just sleep with you for one night? Why do you want to go to a hotel to sleep? Ha." Father Jiang sneered.

"I'm a woman."

"Oh, oh, okay, okay, okay, I'll arrange it right away. You take her directly to Honglin to find the front desk." When Mr. Jiang heard that it was a girl, his son knew the limits and gave her help without doing anything reckless. You could tell from his voice that he was very happy for his son.

Honglin Hotel, formerly the Honglin Guesthouse of a certain unit, was the first hotel contracted by Jiang's father and later became the starting point of his career.

"It's arranged. I'll take you there right away." Jiang Yi said to Su Jing after hanging up the phone.

After changing clothes, Jiang Yi came out with a large plastic bag in his hand. He handed a coat to Su Jing and said while trying it on her: "This one I wore two years ago. You should be able to wear it. It's cold at night, so take an extra coat to be safe."

Su Jing smiled. It was worth it that she loved this man so much in both lives. It was really heartwarming.

"This bag contains toiletries, towels, and everything. Don't use the hotel's stuff," Jiang Yi said.

"You dislike your own hotel?"

"Tsk, no matter how clean it is, it's for everyone to use. As a girl, of course you can't use it." Jiang Yi said seriously.

Yes, he was a bit of a germaphobe, unlike me, whose penis was too thick to be a woman's. Su Jing despised herself for three seconds.

We took a taxi to Honglin Hotel, reported my father's name at the front desk and successfully got the key, and then we went upstairs together.

The two girls at the front desk looked at their backs and muttered infatuatedly, "Oh, Boss Jiang's son is so handsome."

"He's handsome, but so what? Handsome guys are always dishonest. He's so young and he brings girls to get a room, and his dad even arranges it for him. Tsk tsk tsk."

"That's normal, it's a family tradition."

Hehehe...
