Chapter 10: Memories of the Ring and Necklace 04
Duanmu Jichu and Xuexi were getting engaged. This news quickly spread throughout the school, and Bai Yuanyuan, Duanmu Jimo and Ximen looked at me more and more strangely. Finally one day, they blocked me in the stairwell and interrogated me collectively.
"Classmate Nian Gao, my brother is getting engaged to Xue Xi, but you don't even have any reaction. Is this a big blow to you, and your IQ has dropped to zero?" Duanmu Jimu asked first, squinting his eyes as he looked me up and down, and said with great regret, "Although Xue Xi is a first-class lady and you can't even compare to a hair of hers, I still think you are more fun. I have never liked Xue Xi since I was a child. She is too clingy and likes to act like a spoiled child. What I hate most is that she is very possessive. When they were young, she often monopolized my brother by herself, leaving him no time to play with other people... Hey, don't you really want to fight back?"
"You...what are you talking about? Why should I fight back? Haha." I played dumb.
Because the relationship status between Duanmu Jichu and I was too special, not only had it never been announced to the public, but it was also very awkward, so now I can't tell whether we were actually dating or not.
"Why are you fighting back? Xiaoye, what's wrong with you? You are Master Ji Chu's girlfriend, of course you have to fight back." Bai Yuanyuan looked at me strangely with her big round eyes, "Aren't you two dating? You have been dating since Master Le Ou left..."
Uh, so they all knew?
"How did you know?" I asked them cautiously.
"Obviously." This time it was Simon who answered me. Although he had no expression on his face, his eyes were firm. The most important thing was that he would never lie.
Uh…is it really that obvious?
Something I'm not even sure about...
I lowered my head silently, not knowing what to say. At this time, Duanmu Jimo came up to me, smiled mysteriously and said, "Student Nian Gao, we have thought of a solution for you. Why don't you go to be my brother's secretary? As you know, my brother's 18th birthday is coming soon, and the company will face a lot of reforms. My brother spends most of his time in the company and rarely comes to school. We will arrange for you to be in front of my brother, and then it's up to you to do what you want to do."
Then, without giving me a chance to refute, several people quickly left me and ran off to plot something.
The next afternoon after school, Duanmu Jimo forcibly took me to AURORA Group and stuffed me into Duanmu Jichu's office.
From the school to the president's office, the scene changed so quickly and suddenly that I couldn't accept it for a while. I was stunned for half a minute before I came to my senses.
"Nian Gao girl, did you come here just to daydream?" Duanmu Jichu returned to the office at some point. When he saw me standing there, a strange color flashed in his eyes. He frowned and glanced at me, "And what are you wearing? The collar is so low, and you don't have breasts, why do you need such a low collar? Also, the skirt is so tight, it's too ugly, go change it!"
I hadn't seen him for a long time. When I heard him say this, I was furious. So I responded bluntly, "Why do you have to change? Everyone else is wearing the same thing."
Yes, this is the uniform that Duanmu Jimo found for me. It is exactly the same as everyone else's, okay? Humph, you are really looking for trouble!
"Others can wear it, but you can't." Duanmu Jichu was very persistent. He grabbed the school uniform from my bag and threw it at me, then pushed me out the door. "Hurry up and put on this uniform. You don't have to wear the company uniform even if you come to be a secretary."
"Why can others wear it but I can't? You just don't like me, right?" I yelled angrily.
I thought he would continue to argue with me, but he suddenly fell silent and even stopped pushing me. After a long time, a deep voice came from beside me: "No... No, I don't want you to dress like this because I don't want... I don't want your... body to be seen by others. Everything about you... belongs to me..."
what did he say?
I don’t want my body to be seen by others. Everything I have belongs to...his?
What this means is that he still admits that we are dating and is willing to admit that I am his girlfriend?
I was stunned again, staring at him blankly, and inadvertently recalled the time when I beat him up and he awkwardly said sorry to me on the bridge...
Duanmu Jichu is a proud and always superior person. He cannot bow his head to others, but he will apologize occasionally. Although he looks awkward, he makes me feel so cute every time.
My heart couldn't help but start beating again, and I suddenly felt so happy. The previous depression seemed to be blown away by the wind and disappeared without a trace.
Actually, I wanted to ask him about his engagement with Xuexi...
But wait until I change my clothes and come back to ask you, hehe.
"Change it if you want." I grabbed the school uniform, stuck out my tongue at Duanmu Jichu like Xuexi did, and ran out of the office quickly.
Duanmu Jichu must have magic that can control my mood at will. He can make me angry or sad at will. He can lift my heart to the clouds with just one sentence, or he can easily send my heart into an eternal hell.
It was only a few minutes later. When I returned to the office door, I heard Xuexi's voice from inside:
"Ji Chu, what is your relationship with that girl named Ye Ye? Everyone says that you two are dating..."
"Don't listen to what others say. We are just ordinary classmates."
"Then why did she come to your office to be a secretary? Shouldn't I be your secretary?"
"I'll transfer her as soon as possible."
"Well, Ji Chu really loves me the most, just like when we were kids, and Xuexi loves me the most. Xuexi loves you so much!"
…
Ordinary classmates relationship...
I will transfer her away as soon as possible...
Haha, is this an illusion? It must be an illusion, right?
After all, Duanmu Jichu just said such overbearing yet gentle words to me...
Yes, it must be an illusion.
I kept convincing myself in my heart, and pushed the door open with trembling hands, but I saw a scene that I will never forget. Duanmu Jichu had his back to the door, Xuexi had her head tilted back with her eyes closed, and was hooking her arm around Duanmu Jichu's neck, and the two were... kissing...
They are kissing...
I just felt that all the blood in my body rushed upstream into my brain, and everything went dark in front of my eyes and I couldn’t see anything.
My head was swollen and throbbing. I couldn't say anything, couldn't do anything, I just shed two lines of tears silently, and then ran away in embarrassment.
Maybe it was all my self-consolation. How could he say such gentle and overbearing words to me? The sentence "I don't want your... body to be seen by others, everything you have... belongs to me..." was an illusion, absolutely an illusion...
I can never compare with Xuexi, I will never be able to compare.
