Chapter 57: Different Worlds (Part 1)

Le Xiao was a little surprised and sat on the chair, eating. The commotion just now had calmed down. Most of the people in this store were women. Gene sat opposite him and ordered some food.

Xiao Qing, the girl who just called Ji En uncle, looked here from time to time, with envious looks from around her.

"Is it over so soon?"

Le Xiao looked at her phone, and Jean nodded and smiled. Le Xiao felt as if there were small needles pricking her back. That Xiaoqing was the child of one of Jean's friends, and Jean only had a casual relationship with her. After saying hello, he pulled Le Xiao back to his seat.

After sitting in this uncomfortable environment for half an hour, Lexiao quickly ate her food and ran out first. The air in the store was a bit uncomfortable.

As night fell, the lights in the school district began to turn on. Le Xiao looked at the brightly lit schools. Many schools were bustling with activity, and there seemed to be various activities.

"It's obviously the end of the world!"

Gene muttered abruptly, Le Xiao looked at him in surprise, but at this time Le Xiao also vaguely realized that she and Gene were not from the same world, no matter it was day or night, she was just an ordinary person.

The Jean next to her was like the dazzling sun during the day, but in the dark night, it was as deep as the sky like a curtain. Everything was unknown. She often thought of what Michelle said to her these days, Jean only came to see her because of his father's affairs and because he was now involved in an unknown incident.

Jean should be the same to any girl, a gentleman and polite, always keeping a gentle smile.

Lexiao took a deep breath, then raised her head and said.

"I want to go back."

"It's still early, why don't you go shopping?"

Gene lit a cigarette and asked gently. Le Xiao lowered her head and shook it. She raised her head again and glanced at the school in the distance. Thinking of it, everything these days seemed like a dream.

"I send you."

Just as Lexiao was about to leave, Jean behind her spoke, but she quickly shook her head and slapped her cheeks with both hands.

"No, Mr. Jean."

Le Xiao started running, feeling inexplicably sad, but soon she started to laugh. Reminiscing about it, Jean looked at her with the same eyes as he looked at the girl named Xiaoqing, the gentle eyes of an elder. , as if watching a child, Le Xiao also woke up when she heard Xiao Qing call Uncle Gene. Gene must be dozens of years older than her.

"Uncle Jean, your sister is gone, why don't you go after her? She seems very sad."

The girl behind Leng Buding came over. The girl's name was Ji Qing. She was the daughter of Ji Mo, the chief of the 9th Business Section.

"Xiao Qing, go back to school early. Your birthday is next month. I will be there on time."

Ji Qing smiled and nodded, and the girls behind her gathered around her. Jean could only smile helplessly for a while.

"Okay you guys, Uncle Gene still has work to do after we leave."

In the end, Ji Qing left with a few girls. There was a trace of sadness in her eyes. She looked back again and saw that Jean was gone.

"Sure enough, no one can enter your heart, but that sister seems a little special."

After muttering something in a low voice, Ji Qing regained her smile. She realized that she fell in love with Jean when she was very young. Her indescribable feelings were like a sapling that broke out of the ground and grew up day by day. .

In the 17 years since she came to this world, Ji Qing has never looked at another man, because she already has Jean in her heart. His father Ji Mo also knows about it and has talked to her, but no matter what, she likes him. She just likes him, and she can't change this, because falling in love with someone is not something that can be changed easily.

"Maybe that sister is like this too. Let's talk to her some other time."

Ji Qing's long-suppressed love has never been mentioned to others, but somehow she sympathizes with Le Xiao, because although that man is gentle, he will not show any mercy to girls. No girl can step into Jean's world, except Le Xiao, who I just saw.

Ji Qing felt a little uncomfortable tonight because she saw Jean approaching Le Xiao. This had never happened in the more than ten years she had known Jean, and she was also very worried about where Jean went next. Clearly, when she asked Jean just now, Jean was exposed. Although the anticipation in his eyes flashed, Ji Qing still saw it.

In the underground station, Le Xiao pursed her lips and looked a little sulky. She still had some expectations in her heart. Jean said he would send her back.

"Hey woman."

Le Xiao couldn't help but laugh at herself. She just agreed. There was no need to reject her inner thoughts. Two trains had already passed in front of her. Le Xiao didn't even get on the train. She was still there. He continued to look around at the platform.

Gradually, this expectation turned into bitterness. Le Xiao covered her forehead, curled her lips and kept mumbling to herself that she was a failure. Recalling the excitement she felt when she saw Jean in the Business Department Building that day, she felt again in her heart. It was a burst of soreness and throbbing.

"If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have been so harsh."

Le Xiao said, the last train came over, she sighed, waiting for the train that was slowing down and slowly entering the platform with its lights on in the distance.

"Miss, it's so late, why don't you let me take you back!"

A familiar voice sounded in her ears. Le Xiao widened her eyes and looked at Gene, who was looking at her with a smirk. Her cheeks turned red, but she immediately said.

"No need."

The train came to Le Xiao. She gently pushed Gene's back and walked into the subway.

The train started moving. Gene sat next to Le Xiao, leaning his handsome and gentle face against the window. Le Xiao was very excited, happy but sad. She wanted to find a topic, but didn't know what to say.

"By the way, Gene, what is your job? I said I wanted to interview you before."

Gene smiled and turned his head.

"Something like maintaining the peace of the city, don't you already know?"

Le Xiao smiled awkwardly, and the topic died at the beginning.

"Is the work really unimportant?"

Gene asked, and Le Xiao immediately straightened her chest and said.

"I have found a job and will go to work in a few days."

At this time, Gene looked at Le Xiao, and her heartbeat seemed to stop for a moment, and the temperature of her cheeks rose instantly.

"Would you like me to give you a job, Miss Le Xiao? The monthly salary during the internship period is 2,000 yuan, and after the internship period, it will be 5,000 to 10,000 yuan per month, plus a year-end bonus."
