C96 Contrast Modesty
"Okay, but I'll start class tomorrow. You probably spend most of your time alone at home." I turned to face her and let her in.
"No problem, I can cook for you at home." Ou Jia Rui swaggered in.
I, who was originally very depressed, was amused by Ou Jia Rui's words: "You? Cooking? Are you going to tell me that your boiling water tastes pretty good? "
"The instant noodles I made is pretty delicious too." Ou Jia Rui boasted shamelessly.
Although the cleaners had already thoroughly cleaned up the house, many of my things still hadn't been put away. I continued to ignore O'Jia Rui and continued to pack my things.
After sitting for a while, O'Jia Rui felt a little bored himself, but I had already cleaned up half of the room. He couldn't help me, so he could only stand in the middle of the living room and watch me go in and out. After a while, as if she remembered something, Ou Jia Rui took out her purse and said, "On the first day of school, let's eat something delicious. I'll go buy some food."
As I put some of my new clothes into the closet, I said without looking back, "There's no need for that. Let's go out and eat later. It's not like you don't know what to buy."
"No matter what, I've bought the dishes with you before, so I understand. Don't look down on me so much, Zhou Xinyao." Without waiting for me to continue persuading her, Ou Jia Rui had already left the room. I continued packing, not knowing what I would be greeted with when I returned from shopping with Ojashi.
When I was done, I stretched happily and threw myself onto the large, soft sofa. I waited for O'Jia Rui to come back while my heart was still thinking about our relationship.
"I'm back." I felt that if it weren't for his limited physical capabilities, he would probably have emptied the entire supermarket.
Fortunately, Ou Jia Rui has been the president of the Euclidean family for so many years, his ability to coordinate and coordinate is not bad. The fresh vegetables and other ingredients are only enough for one day, the rest are mostly milk and frozen foods that can be stored for a long time.
In the end, I simply cooked a few ordinary dishes. After eating a full meal with Ou Jia Rui, my stomach rumbling with hunger, I finally got down to business:
"How many days are you planning to stay here, and when are you going back?" "You don't need to care about the Ou Family." After tidying up the table and the bowls and chopsticks, I sat on the sofa in front of O'Jia Rui, looking very businesslike.
After eating my fill, Ou Jia Rui lazily sat in front of me. "When have you completely given up on the idea of breaking up with me? When will I be going back?"
"Alright then, you can stay here." Only now did I realize that I and Ou Jia Rui were both stubborn people. Both of us had their own perseverance in their hearts.
After everything was ready, I stared at each other in the small apartment, unsure of what to do next. I took out the drawing board and the many tools I'd brought with me, found a place where the light and the angle were better, and began scribbling to pass the time.
The hasty Ou Jia Rui originally thought that she would go directly to the company after sending me to school, so she didn't bring anything else other than a purse and a phone. She could only watch as I drew with boredom.
After a while, Ou Jia Rui suddenly thought: "That's right, should I bring you to see the new Dean of the Arts Design Department tomorrow?"
I had some doubts. "Isn't the former dean the best professor in all the universities in B City?"
"It's pretty good, but because he was incompetent in the management of the students in the Arts and Design Department before, he has been fired from the school. His title as professor is still there, probably already dug up by someone else with a high salary." Ou Jia Rui shrugged and said nonchalantly.
"The management is not good, you're not talking about the management of Gao Xinlei and the others, right?" I stared at O'Jia Rui.
"Let me say this first. I have nothing to do with him being fired. I just told the school to teach the students who bullied you a lesson. In order to appease you, they fired that professor." Ou Jia Rui was somewhat innocent.
I almost shouted at Ou Jia Rui, "I don't need this so-called comfort. Get out of my way and block my way." Standing in the backlit area, Ou Jia Rui weakly asked, "I can leave, but can I borrow your laptop? I need to have a meeting with those people from the company."
"Use it, hurry up and leave. There's no password." I didn't want to let O'Jia Rui stay in my line of sight for even a second, and as I drew, my heart was full of guilt. For the sake of Mason, and also because of the innocent professor who carried the burden of "poor management."
From time to time, Ou Jia Rui, who was sitting on the sofa, sneakily glanced at me, who was drawing by the window. What responded was either an expressionless side of his face or just a supercilious look. This tolerance gave me the right to be willful, but I did not realize that if it was not for love, he would not have an obligation to accommodate me.
The room immediately quieted down. There was only the slight sound of my brush touching paper and the sound of O'Jia Rui tapping on the keyboard. I used all my strength to put my heart into writing so that I could temporarily ignore the existence of the person beside me.
After a while, I got up and found a pair of headphones and plugged them into the computer. I noticed that on the screen there was a meeting room on the top floor of the Euclidean department. At this moment, it was filled with all of the department heads and managers. That's right, it's been a long time since I last went to work, and I almost forgot. Today is a regular meeting of the various departments, and it's also the meeting that Ou Jia Rui has to attend.
Since Ou Jia Rui decided not to go to the company at the last minute, the meeting was postponed from the morning until the afternoon.
Seeing that Ou Jia Rui was no longer paying attention to me, I put down my brush and rested for a while, watching the meeting between Ou Jia Rui and the company's employee network.
Obviously, B University and the Ou Family were in the same city. Ou Jia Rui must have insisted on staying here to create videos with them, but because she had to stay at my place, I secretly cursed in my heart. How could there be such a shameless person in this world. However, I can only dare to say these words in my heart. Otherwise, who knows how many girls will be the target of my attacks.
After adjusting the signal and angle, Ou Jia Rui started the meeting. Just a moment ago, that shameless man who was trying to curry favor with me instantly reverted back to his calm, composed, and stern appearance. I even wondered if Ou Jia Rui had been an actor for a period of time before he went into business, who could have such a completely different style of face.
Everyone can see from the return of the Liang clan that if they want to gain a foothold in the shopping mall and return to their former status, the biggest obstacle for them is the Eu clan. Therefore, they would fight with us for all their projects.
I hastily retracted my gaze from his face and pretended to look elsewhere. Fortunately, Ou Jia Rui, who was focused on her work, didn't notice me.
Recently, he had frequently heard about the Liang clan being a company. It seemed that ever since the previous bid, the Liang clan had never stopped competing and opposing the He European company. I have a feeling that there is a connection between this Liang family and myself.
"From today onwards, the PR Department will pay close attention to all the movements of the Liang Family. The Design Department and the Planning Department will begin to prepare multiple options to respond to any sudden attack or competition from the Liang Family. From now on, the Network Security Department will focus on researching the firewall of the more reliable internal systems of the company …" I had been out of my mind for a long time.
After the word "adjourn" came out, Ojwin closed my laptop and instantly returned to his rogue look from before. "Yaoyao, let's go out at night. I'll take you to the Michelin restaurant where you said foie gras suits your taste."
I didn't know why, but I suddenly felt that this Ou Jia Rui, who treated the employees of the company professionally and solemnly and played the rascal on me, was much cuter than the Ou Jia Rui who was always polite to everyone.
Previously, there was a popular phrase on the internet called "contrasting moe". I felt that it couldn't be more suitable for Ou Jia Rui. It was just that I couldn't figure out which one was the real Ou Jia Rui. Thinking this way, I blurted out, "Ou Jia Rui, you seem to be quite the opposite."
"What? What do you mean by 'contrast moe'?" Ou Jia Rui, who was planning to win a battle thousands of miles away, was stuck because of an internet catchphrase. The contrast was even more cute. I just laughed and laughed, but I didn't explain anything to O'Jia Rui.
"Don't laugh, what's the contrast, what's cute?" Ochjaru was even more confused by my laughter.
After this, the atmosphere between us wasn't that awkward anymore. I also gradually cooled down the thought of immediately parting with Ojaru. I was also constantly considering whether I could still ease things up.
After we ate dinner and slept together, when I woke up, the first thing I asked was, "Ou Jia Rui, are you leaving today?"
"I'm not leaving. What's wrong?" She got out of bed and prepared to go to the bathroom to wash up.
I admitted defeat. "Alright, I take back the words I said to break up with you yesterday."
Originally, I thought that Ou Jia Rui would be relieved. Who knew that he would just turn around and look at me with a suspicious gaze. It made my hair stand on end, but I had no choice but to accept his scrutiny.
"Nope." I stared at my toes. "It can't be said that I've thought it through. I just feel that my decision yesterday was a bit hasty. I want to consider it a little more."
O'Jia Rui didn't say anything. She seemed to be deep in thought as she walked into the bathroom. I heard the sound of washing up from inside. The apartment was small, with only a bathroom, and I sat on the bed and waited for O'Jia Rui to run out.
After a while, the spirited and neat Ou Jia Rui came out and said four words, "Tomorrow night."
"What did you say?"
"I said I'd leave tomorrow night." O'Jarry came over and ruffled my hair.
