Chapter 25: He's so pretentious
After more than 40 days of separation, Jing Xiaoqiang already has some pectoral muscles.
Just like when I went to that foreign country in my previous life, only a strong body can give me strong confidence.
This is a goal that almost everyone can achieve, but most people have never experienced it.
Those guys who bully the weak are almost all products of this mentality.
Therefore, Jing Xiaoqiang's first instinct in this life was to resume fitness, and he even valued it more than talents such as singing and dancing that light up the skill tree.
He himself could clearly feel that when he hugged the 18-year-old girl at the beginning of last month, he felt like he was holding someone of the same age.
Now it really feels as easy as holding a scallion.
Of course, it could also be that Feng Xiaoxia is weak, helpless and pitiful.
This is how physical contact between young men and women works. At first, it may feel tingling and tingling like an electric shock.
But once electricity is turned on, it will be like a magnet, sticking and not letting go.
Feng Xiaoxia herself didn't know why she became so soft.
I wiped all my tears onto Jing Xiaoqiang's chest. There was a groove there, which felt quite comfortable!
Jing Xiaoqiang felt a little distressed: "Okay, okay, let's go have a good meal first. I will start later today, so you guys can help me play first. My high school deskmate was admitted to a university in Pingjing, so it's worth celebrating."
The musicians nodded and said it was okay, but their eyes were fixed on Lu Xi.
You are such an elegant member of a symphony orchestra, yet you still care about such vulgar gossip!
Compared with the petite and delicate Feng Xiaoxia, Lu Xi is like a Barbie doll, tall and long-legged, holding the lunch box with puffed cheeks!
There seemed to be a forced, plastic smile on his face, as if saying, "We are reuniting as old classmates. It's okay, it's okay."
But if I stretch my right leg out at a slight rest, I feel like I can kick you, you bastard, down with an invisible kick at any time.
Still not giving way.
My slender fingers tapped on the lunch box, and the rhythm and melody expressed, why didn’t I see you have this reaction every time I came to cook for you?
To Jing Xiaoqiang, this was a familiar scene. It was very exciting to meet his girlfriends at different stages of their lives.
On the contrary, in this kind of occasion, he could take the opportunity to thank Lu Xi: "You have worked hard too. You have to go back to the fleet later. Let's go and have a meal together. Let's talk about it before school starts."
Lu Xi hummed with satisfaction.
Dusk comes early in Shanghai in summer, and it is dark before six o'clock.
There were already some dancers and scalpers gathering outside, so the three of them went out the back door and got into a taxi.
The distance is not far. Jing Xiaoqiang usually rides a bicycle, but now his main purpose is to give his deskmate a strong stimulus. He is really not just pretending to be rich.
Feng Xiaoxia's old-fashioned stone-blue denim bag was already hanging on Jing Xiaoqiang's shoulder, and she hugged her other arm tightly.
I traveled thousands of kilometers here, relying solely on the accumulated emotions of scolding him harshly every time we met .
Now she has disappeared without a trace. I look at the lights of the metropolis with curiosity and shock. My soft voice is so gentle that it surprises myself: "So beautiful..."
Jing Xiaoqiang also responded in dialect: "Big cities have many opportunities, but if you waste your college years playing around and don't have the ability to gain a foothold in a big city, it's better to rely on your parents and relatives to find something to do in your hometown."
Lu Xi, who got on the car first, poked his head out: "I can understand Shuchuan dialect!"
Jing Xiaoqiang said to her in English: "What about you? What are your ambitions? Being a flight attendant is definitely not a lifetime thing. If you really don't have to rely on your family, what are you going to do in the future? Have you thought about it?"
Feng Xiaoxia was shocked!
It was even more shocking than seeing Lu Xi's beauty before. Fluent English was too far away for a high school graduate from a small county town in the 18th tier in the mainland like her.
The most important thing is that he is my deskmate who I spend every day with. After not seeing him for more than a month, he can speak English so fluently. Has he been practicing speaking all these days?
Of course, the flight attendant has practiced her words: "If I don't fly anymore, I will switch to ground staff. It would be best if I could be the chief flight attendant, and then take good care of the family. My father taught me not to rely on my family since I was a child. My brothers and sisters are self-reliant, and I can do it, but..."
Glancing at the county girl whose eyes were already wide open, he quickly revealed, "My mother said that my family still needs to give me some dowry when I get married, and told me not to work too hard."
Most people in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s were still very simple.
Jing Xiaoqiang was a little nostalgic: "Then I wish you to find a good husband and live a happy life. You are the best in appearance, personality, housework and even family background. You must find a reliable and down-to-earth man who is worthy of you. I am not worthy."
Lu Xi must have thought about it repeatedly: “Is it that you want to live that kind of rich life, a simple life?”
Jing Xiaoqiang looked up: "I'm looking forward to it so much. I can sing, play the piano, support myself and live a good life. In this era, I have always longed for a happy life. You asked me to fall in love, get married and have children early. Isn't my life a waste?"
Lu Xi tried her best to think: "You are just playful and selfish!"
Jing Xiaoqiang was pleasantly surprised: "Oh, you discovered my shortcomings. Come on, come on. I have many shortcomings."
Unexpectedly, Lu Xi said, "well, that's great. I like chatting with you like this. Sometimes I can think about it all the way on the flight after saying a few words to you."
Jing Xiaoqiang was speechless. Girls these days are so naive!
I want to be an old snake skin...
I want to live a free life 419!
He was too unwilling to accept the colorful heart that had been stained by the decadent and corrupt capitalist life.
It was Feng Xiaoxia's turn to observe the two speaking English. The strong arm was still on her waist, and she was chatting happily with such a beautiful woman.
Doesn’t this level of intimacy mean that you have to consider what to name the child and where he or she will go to elementary school?
I couldn't help but reach out and pinch the back of my hand at my waist.
Jing Xiaoqiang finally reacted and realized that it was no wonder the driver was always stealing glances at him.
Fortunately, we have arrived: "In front, in the big hotel in front, you can stay here tonight and experience what a good life is. I think it will help you study hard!"
Following the direction he pointed, we saw a Western-style .
Among them were old buildings with a long history predating the liberation as well as tall modern buildings. They were brightly lit like giant palaces, and the girl from the county town was stunned for a moment.
So the one with confused and frightened eyes came down first, and the doorman with his little hat on askew was about to chase her away when he saw the girl dressed as a county girl.
Jing Xiaoqiang had already leaned over and handed over the denim bag: "Send it to my room..."
Lu Xi, who came down last, was already qualified just by her long legs.
The doorman put the bag directly on the cart for execution.
But even Lu Xi was surprised: “You have been living here these days?!”
Speaking of flight attendants, the impression people have of them is the beautiful backs of them walking in high-end hotels pushing trolley cases. In fact, they often fly to other places to accompany flights overnight, so their salary includes considerable travel and accommodation allowances.
But they all try to stay in contracted hotels or even company-booked apartments to reduce costs.
You must know that this kind of five-star hotel in the city is super expensive!
As the most international metropolis in the country, Shanghai has never lacked foreign tourists.
High-end hotels are always in short supply, and there is even a traditional practice of sending foreign guests to nearby cities for accommodation and then picking them up the next day.
Because the prices of big hotels in Shanghai are not in line with those in the mainland, an ordinary person may only be able to stay in one for one night with twenty months' salary.
The reception unit can’t stand it!
These ten or twenty days wouldn't cost thousands or even tens of thousands? !
Jing Xiaoqiang said casually: "You occupied the room I rented, so I can only live in a hotel. What do you think? I am an expert at squandering money!"
Now even Lu Xi, who had an unusual family background, shut up.
Moreover, at this time, ordinary citizens can only enter five-star foreign-related hotels if they have relatives or friends returning from abroad or for other reasons.
Otherwise, what if everyone rushes in to see the novelty?
But it was obvious that Jing Xiaoqiang felt at home when he walked in the magnificent hotel lobby.
Lu Xi may have to consider how strong a material foundation is needed for the rich life he thinks he has.
Feng Xiaoxia wanted to slide to the ground, but Jing Xiaoqiang held her waist.
The huge octagonal dome, the wide spiral staircase paved with marble, and the hall with melodious light music will make people feel elegant and refined involuntarily.
Feng Xiaoxia just sweats a lot!
It's amazing that this sweaty girl still smells fragrant.
When standing in the sightseeing elevator going up, the sensory organs in the body are not enough.
The night view of the entire Eastern Magic City, with thousands of bright and dazzling lights, all spread out from in front of the three people to their feet and then farther and farther away.
Even Lu Xi would murmur: "This seems to be quite rich, huh?"
She had had the opportunity to see these scenes, but she had never stopped to feel the breadth.
Feng Xiaoxia was so shocked that her legs went weak. She never expected to come all the way to Shanghai to see this scene.
The meal at the revolving restaurant on the rooftop on the 30th floor only costs more than 200 yuan.
But this completely overturned Feng Xiaoxia's cognition. She couldn't even hold chopsticks and was dizzy with all the complicated tableware in front of her. The smoked fish, jellyfish, and beef all tasted like chewing wax and she had completely lost the ability to distinguish them.
But when he looked up at his classmate sitting opposite him, Jing Xiaoqiang opened Lu Xi's lunch box as if nothing had happened and continued to eat his salmon and chicken breast mixed with olive oil as if nothing had happened.
Even Lu Xi couldn't help but look up and around. Wouldn't the waiter come to remind this pretentious guy?
It is strictly forbidden to bring in outside food in any high-end hotel.
