Chapter 149: I hope she never knows my identity
Chapter 149 I hope she never knows my identity
Unexpectedly, the rice cooked by Xu Lei tastes very good.
After being praised by Jiang Lingxi, the young man with a crew cut and a scar who looked a bit fierce suddenly looked silly and happy, "Sister Xi still has discernment. I accompanied the leader to a restaurant for dinner a few days ago, and the restaurant owner heard me taste it. You can tell what condiments are used in his dishes with just one bite, and he even wants me to join the kitchen of his restaurant.”
"Then why didn't you go?" Jiang Lingxi thought about how she had seen Xu Lei working in the supermarket before. "You also found a job selling meat in the supermarket at Nancheng No. 3 Middle School. You probably won't make as much money as you did by working in the kitchen. It's not you. Strengths.”
Xu Lei's face stiffened and he laughed dryly: "Sister Xi, do you still remember this?"
Jiang Lingxi noticed something was wrong, and looked at the old man and Xu Ling'an sitting next to him, and saw that both of them changed their faces.
Gao Lan preemptively asked, "Didn't you say you found a job running errands for the big boss? Helping the big boss sell meat?"
Xu Lingan also pouted, "Brother Xiaolei, you lied again."
Xu Lei suddenly became anxious, "Oh, grandma, An'an, please listen to my explanation."
Jiang Lingxi pursed her lips, silently put down her chopsticks, and looked sympathetically at Xu Lei, who was scratching his head anxiously.
She really didn’t mean it. Wasn’t this just a rush of words?
“I think An An will take the college entrance examination soon. Now the weather is getting hotter and the sun sets later. There are also a lot of barbecue stalls in our area. There are always people who come out to drink and eat barbecue in the evening..."
"Okay, stop talking." Gao Lan raised his hand, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in his bowl, "Grandma knows what you are worried about."
Xu Ling'an also picked up a piece of ribs and said, "Brother Xiaolei, I wrongly blamed you. No wonder I always feel like someone is following me these days. It turns out you are following me."
Jiang Lingxi couldn't help but remain silent when he saw this.
She has just walked a short distance in this area. When it comes to security, it can be said that there is no security at all.
Compared to the rest of the imperial capital, it is dilapidated and chaotic.
Xu Lei’s concerns are very forward-looking.
This kind of thing is not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of just in case.
She wanted to live somewhere else. If she had no money, she could put it down first.
These days, when she is not busy, she has also counted the assets on hand. Compared with other actresses of the same status in the industry, her assets can indeed be ranked at the bottom, but compared with ordinary people, they are still small. Now that you have assets, renting a house is easy.
But she thought of the old man's lost daughter and the adoptive mother who had brought Xu Ling'an back.
The reason why the grandfather and grandson stayed here without moving was probably because they were still hoping that their daughter and mother would one day find their way home.
"There is less than a month left before the college entrance examination. I will quit my job in the supermarket after An'an's college entrance examination. Even Sister Xi praised my craftsmanship. Are you still worried that I won't be able to find a job?" Xu Lei looked optimistic as he bit into the braised pork. , "Maybe the owner of that restaurant is still waiting for me."
The three of them were all amused by his confidence.
After dinner, Gao Lan wanted to go back to the bedroom to rest.
Jiang Lingxi was not in a hurry and followed Xu Ling'an upstairs.
There are two bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs, and the area is not large.
When Xu Lingan opened the door to her bedroom and Jiang Lingxi looked in, her first impression was: "There are so many books!"
A small bed measuring 1.2 meters occupies almost half of the small room. The wardrobe is in the corner. In addition, the desk by the window, the shelf beside the bed, and the open space opposite the bed are densely packed with items. Book.
There is only a small passage that can only allow people to walk sideways.
These books are not decorations. If you get closer, you can see the traces of being frequently read.
There are so many books, but there is no dust at all.
Xu Lingan pulled up the chair in front of the desk and said, "Sister, please sit down first."
As he spoke, he took the feather duster and brushed the neatly made bed, "If sister is sleepy, please rest on my bed. I just changed the sheets this morning."
Jiang Lingxi looked at the small bed in front of her where her knees could touch the chair she was sitting on, "Then where are you sleeping?" "I usually don't take a lunch break." Xu Ling'an smiled and pointed to the desk, "I don't like taking a lunch break either. This time is just right. Make a paper."
Jiang Lingxi: “…”
She turned her head and glanced at the paper that was currently pressed by her arm. The gaps on it were densely written in delicate fonts. There were not even any typos. She felt very comfortable at a glance.
I thought about the paper that I got a terrible answer on. The comparison is terrible!
She nodded, "Yes, very hardworking!"
"It's okay," Xu Ling'an smiled modestly, "The main thing is that I like studying very much."
Jiang Lingxi was slightly startled.
These words sound familiar.
“Sister, why can only men be called literary greats? I also like literature, and I want to be a literary great among women in the future, shocking the jaws of those old diehards who look down on us.”
Two equally thin figures seemed to overlap at this moment.
"elder sister?"
Jiang Lingxi came back to her senses and pressed her knuckles against her temples. When the pain hit her, her mind returned to clarity.
“It’s okay, I’ll go to sleep.”
Lying on the small bed, if you tilt your head slightly, you can see the back of the little girl sitting upright facing the window. Because of the silence, you can hear clearly the rustle of the pen tip on the paper.
At this moment, Jiang Lingxi knew very well that things were different.
Her Jin An has always stayed at the age when she should have been the most brilliant, while Xu Ling'an is still working hard for his goals and hobbies seriously, and his life is so vivid.
I picked up the book on my pillow and flipped through it. I wrote a lot of comments and reflections on it with blue ink pen. I could see that the writing was very casual, but it was also serious. Some short paragraphs were even funny. People smile knowingly.
After turning a few pages, sleepiness came over me, and with the rustling sound of pen writing, I fell asleep unconsciously.

Xiyuan.
In a courtyard full of Zen.
Xia Zhi brought in a pot of tea and left respectfully.
Shen Yunqing washed the tea cups, poured two cups of tea, and handed one to the young monk sitting cross-legged opposite him.
When the monk took the teacup, he glanced at the light cyan tea in the cup. After he raised his head and drank it, there was a hint of smile in his voice: "The lake in my heart is rippling, and my eyebrows are pale. It seems that after I leave, During this period, something good happened. "
However, Shen Yunqing didn't give him a chance to pretend to be mysterious this time, and replied with a smile in his eyes: "I'll wait until your Majesty."
“Congratulations, you got what you wanted.”
“Thank you.”
“But it seems that Your Majesty doesn’t live here?”
“She doesn’t know my other identity yet.”
“Why don’t you say it?”
"If possible," Shen Yunqing squeezed the tea cup in her hand, "I hope she never knows in her life that we can get along with another identity."
"You," the monk shook his head helplessly, "who would have thought that the famous and cold-faced and selfless Prime Minister during the Yuan Zhao period turned out to be an infatuated person."
