Chapter 498 The Girlfriend You Picked, Even Stupid
Xiao Ci was wearing pajamas, and he looked like he had just woken up, but he looked different from usual.
She stopped unconsciously at the entrance, and Xiao Ci turned around and spotted her.
"Why don't you come in?" Xiao Ci asked
Although he was smiling and looked very natural, the face of the man in front of Xiao Ci besides showing slight surprise also had a trace of unnoticeable nervousness.
Lin Zhiyi looked at the man suspiciously as he walked over. He seemed to be very familiar with Xiao Ci, but he didn't seem like a friend. It felt a bit strange.
Xiao Ci said to him: "Let's talk about this first today."
"Okay." The man responded and put away the documents on the table.
After the door closed, Lin Zhiyi asked: "What does this person do?"
His temperament is that of a business elite, so he can directly exclude his classmates. They don't look like friends anyway. Could they be ex-colleagues? It feels weird.
"The brokerage company has been lobbying me for several years, but they haven't given up yet," Xiao Ci replied.
"What?" Lin Zhiyi was surprised.
Xiao Ci saw her reaction, smiled and rubbed her head, and asked: "Your boyfriend is so handsome, why is it strange that he is favored by an agency?"
Although this sounded narcissistic, Lin Zhiyi agreed. She nodded and asked, "So he wants you to enter the entertainment industry?"
"Yeah." Xiao Ci nodded.
"Do you agree?" Lin Zhiyi asked again, suddenly a little nervous.
"Do you want me to come in?" Xiao Ci looked at her and asked.
"You decide for yourself." Lin Zhiyi did have some thoughts of his own, but she didn't want to affect his decision.
"But I want to hear my girlfriend's opinion." Xiao Ci held her hand and said seriously.
Lin Zhiyi struggled internally, but finally expressed her true thoughts: "I don't want you to go to the entertainment industry."
"Why?" Xiao Ci asked.
"Who wants their boyfriend to be fantasized about by countless members of the opposite sex every day? Moreover, the entertainment industry is very chaotic, and filming is also very hard." The only advantage is probably that the money comes quickly.
"Yeah." Xiao Ci listened carefully.
"Is it difficult for you to find a job?" Lin Zhiyi asked.
Xiao Ci looked into her worried eyes and asked jokingly: "If you don't believe in my ability, what do you see in me?"
"Face." Lin Zhiyi was not polite.
She was originally a pretty girl and could be easily tempted, and his face was really 80% of the credit.
But it's not entirely true. After all, she has met many handsome guys since she was a child. This is not the first time that she has been attracted to him, but it is the first time that she has been so bold and proactive.
In fact, she feels that she is quite lucky, because while she is brave, the person she likes also happens to like her.
"Superficial." Xiao Ci was not satisfied with this answer.
"Then what do you like about me?" Lin Zhiyi also asked.
Xiao Ci looked at her for a long time, but didn't answer for a while.
"I understand, love is hard to express in my heart, so I won't embarrass you." Lin Zhiyi never doubted that he didn't like her.
In order to hide his inner emotions, Xiao Ci subconsciously wanted to kiss her, but when his lips were about to touch hers, they separated again.
"What's wrong?" Lin Zhiyi asked.
Xiao Ci sighed and said, "I seem to have a cold, and I'm afraid it will be transmitted to you."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi quickly touched his forehead and found that it was indeed a little warm, and asked, "Did it rain yesterday?"
"Probably." Xiao Ci replied.
He never knew that he was so "weak".
"Have you taken your medicine? If you're sick and you haven't had a good rest, why are you letting outsiders in?" Lin Zhiyi complained distressedly.
Xiao Ci listened to her ramble, grabbed her hand, and rested his head on Lin Zhiyi's shoulder.
Lin Zhiyi rarely saw such a fragile side of him, as if he was completely dependent on himself.
She coaxed him for a while before letting him lie back on the bed, and then found some medicine for him to take.
About forty minutes later, the medicine he had taken began to take effect. Xiao Ci was sweating slightly. He took his temperature and found that he was feeling much better.
Only then did Lin Zhiyi have time to think about food and clothing issues and asked: "Are you hungry?"
"Well, a bit." Xiao Ci said.
It was just a minor cold. He was obviously not that delicate, but he enjoyed the feeling of being taken care of.
Lin Zhiyi went out and took a look at the food she had brought. It had been cold for a long time, so she thought about taking it to the kitchen to heat it up.
"Are you sure?" Xiao Ci looked at her, she didn't look like someone who would do such things.
"It's just hot food, it's very simple, don't worry." Lin Zhiyi was full of confidence.
Xiao Ci heard her confident tone and let her go with confidence.
Lin Zhiyi carried the packed boxes to the kitchen, plated some dishes, and put others directly into the microwave——
Xiao Ci lay on the bed peacefully and took the time to send Li Shuhuai a WeChat message about what he had not finished explaining to him just now.
Suddenly, he heard a strange noise coming from the kitchen, mixed with Lin Zhiyi's frightened scream. Xiao Ci's heart immediately tightened, and he rushed into the kitchen without even having time to put on his shoes.
When he opened the door, there was a choking smell of smoke, but it hadn't started to spread yet. Lin Zhiyi seemed to be frightened, and was shrinking on the ground with her head in her arms.
Xiao Ci quickly pulled her up from the ground, and while checking her body, asked: "Are you not injured?"
Lin Zhiyi shook his head and pointed in a certain direction in the kitchen.
Xiao Ci then looked over and saw that an open flame had started in the microwave oven and black smoke was coming out.
In fact, he noticed it when he walked in, but he was more nervous about Lin Zhiyi.
"Go out first." Xiao Ci said and pulled her out of the kitchen.
"But-" Lin Zhiyi was worried.
She felt that the fire should be put out first, and she could not let it continue like this, otherwise the entire building, not to mention the home, would be in danger.
"Stay away and be obedient." Xiao Ci had already pulled her out and warned her again. After he felt that she was safe enough, he cut off all the power in the house.
Seeing that Xiao Ci was about to enter the kitchen again, Lin Zhiyi was afraid that he would be injured, so she held him back and said, "Call 119?"
"Believe me." Xiao Ci patted her hand, looking unusually calm.
Only then did Lin Zhiyi regain his composure. He had already withdrawn his hand, picked up the fire extinguisher at home and entered the kitchen again.
In fact, Lin Zhiyi was too nervous, and Xiao Ci acted extremely calm and collected throughout the whole process.
The fire was quickly extinguished. Fortunately, it did not burn the gas pipes or cause any other damage, but the kitchen was burned black.
Xiao Ci opened the window to ventilate the air. After cleaning up the kitchen, he came out and saw Lin Zhiyi sitting on the sofa with his head lowered, looking very downcast.
He sighed silently in his heart and came over to hold her hand: "Okay, let's eat."
"Eat?" Lin Zhiyi looked at him blankly.
If she remembered correctly, the meals she brought should be inedible, and the kitchen was still in a mess.
"Yes, do you want to be hungry?" Xiao Ci asked.
Only then did Lin Zhiyi notice that there was actually food on the dining table.
"There are vegetables in the refrigerator and the kitchen can't be used yet, so I'll cook them in the restaurant using an electric pot and eat them together," Xiao Ci explained.
"But - don't you call me stupid?" She really felt frustrated when she couldn't do such a small thing well.
"The girlfriend I found must be recognized as stupid." Xiao Ci sighed deliberately and helplessly.
"Xiao Ci!" Lin Zhiyi pretended to be angry.
Although she admitted that he was telling the truth, didn't he know that girls need to be coaxed?
"I'm just teasing you, good boy. I know you just don't do it normally, so you lack common sense. I'm very happy if you are willing to try it for me." Xiao Ci excused her in a very understanding tone.
"That's pretty much it." Although she felt a little unreasonable, she was really comforted.
"So, girlfriend, for the sake of me washing my hands and making soup when I'm sick, can you give me some food?" Xiao Ci urged.
Lin Zhiyi then remembered that he was originally ill. She originally wanted him to have a good rest, but not only did she not share the burden, but she also added a lot of work to him, and she couldn't help but start to blame herself.
"Okay, let's eat." Xiao Ci pulled her to the dining table and sat down, then added food to her.
There were only two vegetables on the table, one cold and one stir-fried, and each of them had a bowl of porridge. Although it was relatively light, it was still more suitable for sick people.
Lin Zhiyi was not qualified to choose. After taking a bite, she unexpectedly felt very refreshing. She couldn't help but praise: "Why are you so awesome?"
"What's the point? Have you never heard that practice makes perfect? You just don't have the chance to do it." Xiao Ci didn't care.
"Then you will teach me how to cook?" Lin Zhiyi asked again.
"Fool, I can just do it." Xiao Ci didn't dare to let her burn down the kitchen again.
"You are like my brother. Sooner or later you will make me a fool." Lin Zhiyi muttered dissatisfiedly.
Xiao Ci's hand holding the chopsticks tightened, and his expression became ugly.
