Early the next morning, Li Jing purposely got up early, planning to send Zhang Xinxin to the high-speed rail station, which moved her so much that she rewarded him on the spot once again.
If ti hadn’t been tight, Li Jing reckoned he would have been drained of his Primordial Energy by Nurse Zhang.
After finishing breakfast at the hotel, Zhang Xinxin, as usual, took a lot of photos before happily getting into Li Jing’s Maserati to head to the high-speed rail station.
The cool morning breeze blew against their cheeks, refreshing and cool.
Zhang Xinxin leaned contentedly against the car window, enjoying the taste of the Maserati’s passenger seat.
She knew that this passenger seat couldn’t belong to her alone, but she had already realized that as long as she could sit there, she would enjoy it thoroughly without worrying about anything else.
In Zhang Xinxin’s heart, life is like a ga experience granted by heaven, and she wants to play as she pleases for the few decades she has.
If she used this precious opportunity for fun given by heaven just to survive and follow the rules, she’d rather not have co to this world.
Of course, she still has her standards, influenced perhaps by her upbringing, or maybe due to a lingering dream of a prince charming. Her standards for n include not only financial capability but also looks and values.
This so-called standard is what allowed her to mingle in the circle of sisters in Celestial Sea City for so long without finding the right target until Li Jing appeared.
In fact, even when she first t him, Zhang Xinxin hadn’t planned on giving herself easily but considered trying to be his official girlfriend.
But after many interactions, especially his unconditional help for her father, Zhang Xinxin decided to let go of her last line of defence and give herself to him.
Li Jing was the most suitable guy she had t who matched her expectations, and even if he didn’t want to give love, she was willing to accompany him.
Li Jing had seen the most fragile side of her family but never did he despise or reject them. Instead, he chose to help unconditionally, which made her decide from the bottom of her heart that this was the man for her.
"Brother Jing, my dad’s already working at that factory in Celestial Sea City. Though it’s a bit far from downtown, the job includes als and accommodation, and isn’t tiring. Thank you."
Seeing Zhang Xinxin suddenly change from her usual fiery passion to a gentle thankfulness, Li Jing was a bit unaccustod.
But seeing the sincerity on her face, Li Jing felt her intentions and replied, "Actually, it was just a lift of the hand for , no need to thank too much.
You could rather frequently talk to your dad sotis, understand more about what he’s going through. Don’t wait for problems to regret later."
Previously, Zhang Xinxin wasn’t even aware that her father had beco a porter, clearly indicating they didn’t often communicate, not to ntion him willing to hide bad news from her.
"I can see that your dad is a simple and honest person, who deeply cares about you to the extent that he distanced himself on purpose to spare you embarrassnt."
Recalling what he’d witnessed that night, Li Jing said, "Actually, my parents are the sa; they invested all their energy into , yet never demanded anything in return.
There’s always talk of relying on the children when older, but when they really get older, they’re still using their ways to protect us. Their sole demand perhaps is the companionship and greetings on holidays."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Xinxin was slightly surprised and looked at Li Jing. This was the first ti he had communicated in this way. Her gaze shifted, then she lowered her head, staring at her legs, without saying anything.
Li Jing stopped at the traffic lights, continuing, "Actually, we young people are all like this; constantly drawn to what’s ahead, seldom rembering to look back at our parents.
By the ti we want to turn back, we might have grown old ourselves, and our relatives may not be there anymore.
That’s why there’s that saying: ’When the tree wants to be still, yet the wind doesn’t cease; when the child wants to support, yet the parent doesn’t wait.’
Since your dad’s in Celestial Sea City working, whenever you have ti, you should visit him."
Finishing, Li Jing waited for her response for a while without hearing anything, puzzled, he glanced over and saw Zhang Xinxin looking down, surprised, he asked, "What’s wrong with you?"
"No... nothing."
Zhang Xinxin hurriedly raised her head, tried to recover her emotions, then looked seriously at Li Jing’s profile, pressing her lips, said seriously, "Brother Jing, thank you for saying these things. My dad is my only family; I’ll keep in touch with him more often."
"Yes, actually, I’m the sa way; I should keep in touch with my parents more often too."
Looking ahead, Li Jing said, "Your dad and my parents are the sa, typical giving parents; no matter how filial we are, we can’t surpass the energy they’ve invested in us."
As his words fell, Li Jing noticed Zhang Xinxin was silent again, curiously, he turned to look and saw her intently watching him.
"What are you doing?"
Li Jing continued driving, feeling a bit inexplicable, "Why are you suddenly watching like that?"
Zhang Xinxin looked at Li Jing seriously, leaning her head gently, said, "Nothing, just feel like Brother Jing you’re really great, I kind of like you even more now."
Hearing this, Li Jing’s eyebrow slightly raised, just about to jokingly tease, suddenly felt a tightness below, his facial expression changed slightly, he imdiately asked, "What are you trying to do?"
"Since I like you, of course, I want to do what you like. I can’t give you everything, but what I can do, I’m willing to give you."
Finishing, Zhang Xinxin reverted to her mischievous and lively deanor, lowered her head, "Don’t n like thrill a lot?
Now it’s a test of my driving skills, and also a test of your driving skills~"
Feeling a gentle wrap around him, Li Jing’s eyes widened suddenly, he imdiately stepped on the brake to slow down:
"No, Nurse Zhang, your last treatnt hasn’t ended??"
Zhang Xinxin’s muffled voice ca out, "This ti...is an additional treatnt granted because Nurse Zhang’s in a good mood."
...
At the entrance of the high-speed rail station, Li Jing finally sent Zhang Xinxin off, then turned around and stretched his hand onto his back, getting into his Maserati, "Looks like I need to replenish again, this Zhang Xinxin is really a witch... almost couldn’t withstand."
Back at the hotel, Li Jing just happened to see Huang Jun coming out.
Seeing him sporting two dark circles, Li Jing was puzzled, "What’s up with you, kid, didn’t sleep well last night?"
Huang Jun looked weary, "I thought about it all night, didn’t sleep, why are we both coming from the sa place, but you have a fancy car and beauty, and I only have a perfect physique and handso looks?
I finally understood what it feels like to fear a brother living poorly, and also fear a brother driving a Range Rover."
"..."
Seeing him praising his physique and looks even at this mont, Li Jing felt unspoken and asked, "So, did you figure out the answer?"
"No..." Huang Jun sighed deeply, "That’s why I wanted to ask you, why is that?"
"Then you might as well think the other way around, you might not have money, but you’re handso with a good physique, isn’t that enough?"
Upon hearing this, Huang Jun first froze, then quickly clapped his hand, "Oh my! When you put it like that, I do feel much better!"
He then wrapped his arm around Li Jing, feeling emotional, "Jingzi, it has to be you, no wonder you can capture so many hearts, if I were a woman, I’d like you too!"
"Better not."
"Why not?"
"Afraid of getting crushed by a muscular Barbie."
"???"
