After rebirth, I gave up Bai Yueguang
Chapter 14 Moving
Jiang Yi was preoccupied, so he sent her to the hotel entrance, then just raised his hand to signal her and left without saying anything else.
Su Jing returned to the room, took a shower and lay down, but her mind couldn't calm down and Zhang Ya's appearance kept appearing involuntarily.
Honestly, even if there was no emotional connection, the woman was just too ordinary-looking. She couldn't figure out what he loved about her in his past life. Perhaps it was just that a 20-year-old held a different allure for a 17-year-old.
Today has changed me, but what about the future? Will they meet again somewhere else? Can fate truly change what's destined? In this life, will my differences in this world change his life?
Su Jing was thinking and fell asleep unknowingly.
On the morning of the third day, when the light from outside shone into the room through the gaps in the curtains, Jiang Yi had already run to the hotel and knocked on the door. As soon as Su Jing, who was used to getting up early, opened the door, Jiang Yi rushed into the room and handed her a newspaper.
"Look at what happened the night before yesterday." He spoke like a machine gun, and it was unclear whether he was anxious or excited.
"What's wrong?" Su Jing took the newspaper. The front page headline was huge: [Malicious assault occurred in XX District]
After quickly reading the contents, Su Jing frowned, as if muttering to herself, "Why are there two dead this time?" She remembered that the newspaper in her previous life said one person had died. Logically, she had called the police early, and the police and ambulance had arrived earlier than in her previous life, so they should have been able to save the person in time.
"Two people died this time?" Jiang Yi didn't understand. "You still think it's not enough?"
"Ah, ah, no, I'm just wondering why two people died when the police and ambulance arrived so quickly." Su Jing explained quickly, but she always felt something was wrong.
"Oh, the one who was stabbed injured the aorta and was dead when he arrived at the hospital. The other one who ran away was hit by a car at the intersection and flew ten meters away and died on the spot." Jiang Yi said in a shocked tone.
The timeline didn't seem to have changed much, but the details had. Su Jing wondered if he wasn't dragged into this case this time, would things be better in the future? She felt a mixture of relief and worry.
"Hey, what are you thinking about? I'm talking to you." Jiang Yi pushed her and pulled her out of her thoughts.
"No, I just think that it's a good thing you went late, otherwise you would be in the detention center now." Su Jing said with a long sigh of relief.
"That's right, that's what I meant. Fortunately you asked me for help, otherwise..." Jiang Yi paused and continued, "You know, I asked someone and found out that those who were arrested that day will probably be sentenced severely, regardless of whether they did anything or not." Jiang Yi then smiled and slapped her shoulder, "You really are my benefactor."
"Where are those two women?" Su Jing asked hurriedly.
"A female? I didn't ask about her, and I don't know her, so who cares." Jiang Yi didn't care.
"Go ask again."
"Why do you care so much about those two women? Your relatives?" Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
"Get lost, she's still your wife." Su Jing rolled her eyes and threw the newspaper back to him. It was obvious from her actions that she was very unhappy.
"Are you sick?" Jiang Yi was a little unhappy.
Realizing she had said too much again, Su Jing quickly tried to make amends, "I was just gossiping. Didn't Xu Jianguo say he would introduce you to a beautiful girl that day? If you had gone, one of those two girls might have become your girlfriend."
"I don't want to bother with you. Tell me, have you found a house these days? When do you plan to move in?"
"Forget it, I plan to go home today and look for another one after the New Year. Moving these few days would be too disrespectful to my parents." Su Jing sighed helplessly and shook her head, packing up the things she had thrown on the sofa.
In order to avoid escalating the family conflict, Su Jing returned home twice, causing her mother to mock her for several days. However, she did not quarrel with her mother like she did in her previous life.
On the 28th of the lunar year, she finally found a suitable house between the school and her art teacher's house. It was in a residential compound, and Su Jing thought it was a single room built by the owner himself, with a shared kitchen and bathroom.
The landlords were a middle-aged couple who looked friendly. Most importantly, the rent was low, only 150 yuan a month including utilities.
On the 16th day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Yi called the family driver to Su Jing's house at 10 a.m. While Su Jing's parents were at work, they quickly loaded her belongings into the car. Actually, it was just a few bags of clothes and some books—not much, but the books were very heavy.
The weather was nice. After walking through an old street dotted with mottled shadows of trees and turning several corners, Su Jing saw the red brick door frame of the dilapidated tenement. Only a few screw holes remained on it, proving that there had once been a door.
Jiang Yi, carrying two bags of books, and Su Jing, carrying two bags of clothes and other groceries, trudged into the yard. The yard was littered with a multitude of miscellaneous items: old bicycles, broken furniture, heaps of coal, trash cans... It was clear this place had once been bustling.
After walking through a corridor so crowded with debris that it was only one person wide, Su Jing arrived at a wooden door with cracked red paint. She put down her bag and reached for her keys. Jiang Yi also put his bag on the ground, shook his numb hands, and looked around the courtyard.
There were clotheslines hanging on the wall, electrical wires stretched out in disorder, and spider webs that had been replaced for generations in the corners. Just now, when they passed by, they saw their neighbor in the dark window looking at them with a gloomy face.
"Look here..." Jiang Yi frowned and said, "It's not very safe."
"Huh? Really? I didn't think so," Su Jing said casually as she picked up two bags and walked in.
"Don't you think so? The neighbor I saw when I came in just now seemed difficult to get along with."
"I'm not here to hang out with them. I just come home after school to sleep and do homework. How can I have the time to hang out with them?" Su Jing said, taking out the clothes and folding them one by one. "Also, I'll probably only live here for the next six months. I have to work during the summer vacation, so I'll have enough money to rent a decent place."
"Actually, why bother? You only go home after school when you live at home. You can just do your homework from the time you get home to the time before you go to bed at night and pretend they don't exist." Jiang Yi felt that this yard was really uncomfortable to look at, and he wanted to persuade Su Jing not to rent it.
"How about we find another place? This place doesn't look safe."
"Even if we want to move, we have to live here for the next three months. We've already paid the money." Su Jing actually felt that the people here made her feel uncomfortable, and if she could find a better place, she would also like to move away.
She was packing up her things. Jiang Yi was a little bored and walked around, looking here and there. His brows were getting more and more furrowed as he looked, and it was obvious that he was becoming more and more dissatisfied.
He walked to the window, opened and closed it repeatedly, and said, "You need to reinforce this place, otherwise the window will be blown away by a strong wind. It will be too easy for someone to climb in in the middle of the night."
He walked to the door, opened and closed it again, and turned the lock several times. He pouted and said, "No, I'll buy a new lock tomorrow."
He wasn't satisfied with the bed either. He sat on it, pressed it down hard, and said, "This bed is too hard! I'm going to buy some quilts tomorrow to put it in. I'll move to a new place in three months and buy a new mattress. I have to change it!"
Jiang Yi paced the room, each turn generating an opinion, muttering to himself. Su Jing felt like laughing, but a subtle warmth crept up inside her. It felt so good to have someone thinking about you, worrying about you.
The hut was very simple, and Su Jing packed up her things quickly. Jiang Yi said, "Let's go to the supermarket and buy some things. We need to buy tissues and other things, and some food. In case you are too lazy to go out, we can't let you go hungry." Su Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded.
This guy is really thoughtful, even considering these little things. The supermarket was bustling with people, and the two of them were walking between the shelves. Jiang Yi would pick up some daily necessities from time to time and put them in the shopping cart while muttering, "You need this, and you should also prepare some that." His hands never stopped moving.
Seeing that the shopping cart was piled up like a mountain, Su Jing grabbed the cart and glared at him.
"What?" Jiang Yi was stunned.
"Are you here for wholesale?" Su Jing asked.
Jiang Yi glanced at the already overflowing shopping cart and smiled sheepishly, "Oh, I think they're all what I need."
"There's no place to put it. Just keep the essentials and put everything else back," Su Jing said as she put some things back on the shelf. Jiang Yi watched her put many things back and wanted to stop her, but he didn't dare speak. After so many years of being classmates, he knew Su Jing's personality very well. Opposition was useless, so he might as well keep quiet.
As Su Jing put her things back, she thought to herself, this young master who attracts all kinds of people and always asks for clothes is really a delicate person.
"This little rice cooker is great. You can use it to cook some noodles or heat up some vegetables." Jiang Yi picked up a rice cooker and handed it to Su Jing, blinking his eyes. His meaning was clear: "Can you please not put it back?"
Su Jing took the rice cooker and glanced at him: "Okay." She also felt that this pot was necessary.
"And these oils, salt, sauces and vinegar are all necessary." Jiang Yi said as he covered the pile of bottles with his hands.
"Okay, fine." Su Jing sighed. Did he treat her like a child? Of course she knew these were necessary.
"By the way, let's buy some eggs. You can't lack nutrition when living alone, and this is the easiest." Jiang Yi covered the two boxes of eggs and prevented her from taking them out. His beautiful eyes looked at her, forcing her to say:
"it is good…"
After leaving the supermarket, Jiang Yi walked ahead, carrying all his belongings. The setting sun stretched his shadow out far too long. Su Jing stared at it, her heart aching. Was he this attentive in his past life? To that girl named Zhang Ya, and to those countless other girls?
Why is he treating me like this now? Is it because of Aquaman's nature? Or is it because he treats his buddies?
Su Jing wouldn't believe that he fell in love with her. If he didn't like her type in his previous life, how could he change in this life? No matter what, she wouldn't believe it.
If you insist on convincing yourself that he likes you, it is just the hormones in your body that are at work. It has nothing to do with feelings. It is just the result of your lower body thinking.
"Thank you." Su Jing said suddenly.
Jiang Yi turned his head and looked at Su Jing strangely: "You are so polite to me? It's not like you."
Su Jing also smiled, "Okay, you're welcome."
Back in the cabin, Jiang Yi helped Su Jing put everything in order, and then began to prepare dinner. Su Jing stood aside, watching Jiang Yi skillfully chopping vegetables and beating eggs, and her heart was filled with warmth. The scene she had been looking forward to in her previous life suddenly appeared before her eyes, and her eyes couldn't help but rise.
Jiang Yi turned around and saw the warmth of her smile. His beautiful eyes also smiled at her for a long time before he spoke: "What are you laughing at?"
She pretended to be surprised, "You can cook?" Su Jing said, "I'm thinking about whether I should call 120 before eating. In case of poisoning or something, rescue can be faster."
Jiang Yi rolled his eyes at her, then turned back to his own business, saying, "Don't look down on me. I'm much better at housework and cooking than many girls, especially you."
Of course she knew. She knew that he was a mysophobe, that he could fold his underwear like a block of tofu, that he was a good cook, that he loved flowers, new and exciting things, and romance... She knew everything about him, and only she knew it.
