As the two were talking, the door to the entrance suddenly rang, and after a while, a boy who looked somewhat similar to the one in the baseball cap walked in.
"An Xuan, you're here early today!" The young man turned around and greeted the boy with a smile.
"You're back? Didn't you say you'd be back in a few more days?" The boy named An Xuan was wearing a dark navy cashmere coat. Although his facial features resembled those of someone wearing a baseball cap, his demeanor was completely different. When he took off his coat and saw me sitting on the sofa, he was somewhat surprised and asked hesitantly, "Qiming, who is this?"
"I found it." The baseball cap holder chuckled, spreading his hands. "A lost little white rabbit with no money."
"Huh?" The boy in the entryway looked even more surprised. "Found it?"
"My name is Fang Qiming, and this is my cousin Xie Anxuan," the baseball cap said, slipping a red apple into my hand with a smile. "Little rabbit, what's your name?"
"Su Yuanyuan!" I took the apple, took a big bite, and answered loudly.
I'm starving!
Author's Note: Why is there a young Xie Anxuan?
Fingers... Could it be that I miss Xie Daren and Cai Cai, this long-dormant couple, too much?
However, the thought that even a serious and cool guy like Lord Xie had a cute and innocent teenage period makes me drool and fantasize...
Anyone else having similar fantasies? Raise your hand, let's drool together in the following plot...
You're asking me where Dean Qu is?
Uh, sorry... I'm only into cute boys today. Dean Qu, this handsome older gentleman, can take a break for a couple of days... Hehehe...
The little fat wolf in rabbit skin
Many years later, when I saw Xie Anxuan again, it was at a shocking wedding. And he was the protagonist of that wedding, the groom.
I have to marvel at the strange twists of fate in this world. When I was at my lowest and most helpless, Fang Qiming and Xie Anxuan took me in. At that time, none of us could have imagined that, much later, this cool young man would meet someone I knew, someone who would end his thirty-year elite life and plunge him headfirst into a pumpkin pit.
When Fang Qiming arranged for me to sleep on the living room sofa, Xie Anxuan, who had been silently sitting at the dining table chewing rice, said, "Let her sleep in my room. The heating in the living room is not enough, and it will be cold at night."
Fang Qiming laughed loudly: "When did you, this cold-blooded guy, start to have compassion?"
Xie Anxuan ignored him, simply tossing his rice bowl on the table and saying, "The last one to finish eating washes the dishes."
Upon hearing this, Fang Qiming immediately picked up his bowl and began shoveling rice into my mouth, glancing at how much was left in mine as he did so. Although my reaction was a little slower than his, my movements were no slower. Don't let my large mouth fool you; when it comes to swallowing rice, I'd say I'm the second biggest eater in the entire Su family, and no one would dare claim to be the first.
Fang Qiming complained bitterly when he went to wash the dishes, "Why do I have to wash three people's dishes after I worked so hard to cook this meal?!"
****
While Fang Qiming was washing the dishes, I started to think about how to borrow money from him.
Besides my ID card, I had nothing to offer as collateral. But since he was willing to take me in, he must believe I'm not a scammer. Borrowing 600 yuan from him shouldn't be a big deal, right?
Having made up my mind, I went into the kitchen to borrow money from Fang Qiming.
"Um... Comrade Fang..."
"Pah! I'm not gay! What are you yelling about?"
"Uh, what about Xiao Fang?"
You're younger than me, aren't you?
"...Old Fang?"
"Damn it! I'm young and full of life, okay?!"
= =! What an incredibly difficult person to please.
"Mr. Fang, I have a small request."
Fang Qiming shook the water off his hands, glanced at me, and said, "A small request? Let me tell you, anything over ten yuan is not a small request."
This guy, he probably knew I was going to borrow money, didn't he?
"I'll return it to you as soon as I get back to H City! Really! Look at me, a lonely and helpless girl, I lost my wallet in a foreign land and have nowhere to go. How can you bear not to lend a helping hand?"
Fang Qiming chuckled twice, "How could you be so heartless!"
"You!" I pointed my finger at his nose, wishing I could pounce on him and bite him.
"You can work for me. It'll be ten yuan a day. You can cook, clean, wash dishes, and do laundry."
"Work?" I stared at him. "Laundry, cooking, cleaning?"
"yes!"
"Then what's the difference between me and a nanny?"
"It's just a nanny! I even provide food and lodging. Honestly, there's no employer in all of Beijing as generous as me!"
"Wait!!! Wait a minute! Ten yuan a day, that's only three hundred yuan a month! Not even enough for a train ticket!"
Fang Qiming rolled his eyes. "You're still hoping to get a soft sleeper back? A hard sleeper is just right at 300 yuan a night!"
TAT! That wicked Fang Qiming must have been a landlord in his past life, he's such a master at exploiting people!
I'm in a difficult situation, forced to submit to whatever comes my way, all for the sake of a train ticket home.
"Ugh, really! Why didn't you come and talk to me about this sooner!" Fang Qiming suddenly complained. "You're the one who should be washing the dishes!"
I pulled a long face and said dejectedly, "Then you'll start paying me my salary from today onwards?"
Fang Qiming wasn't angry at all. He happily took off his apron and cheered, "Starting tomorrow, I can finally eat in peace! Life is so wonderful!"
His life is wonderful, but mine is anything but.
How could I, a pampered young lady who never lifts a finger at home, possibly know how to serve others?
The next morning, Fang Qiming dragged me out of bed, pointed to a large basin of dirty clothes and said, "Make breakfast first, then wash this!"
