Chapter Twenty-Five

A friend is another ourselves. - Zeno of Didion

——

In a water bar in a corner of the campus, Ruochu was holding a large cup of milk tea in one hand and resting his chin on the other in a daze, biting the straw inadvertently with his teeth.

Rousseau sat opposite her and stared at her blankly for a while. He couldn't bear it anymore and stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, "Miss, did you hear what I said?"

"Well, listen." Ruochu was still thinking about the question he asked Qin Nan in the morning, what was going on between Monica and Daddy.

"What should we do?" Rousseau asked.

"What should I do?" Ruochu stared back innocently with his big eyes. Rousseau patted his head in frustration. It seemed that his words were in vain.

"I mean……"

"Ah, it's summer work, right? Thank you Grandpa Lu for me. I'll go fishing with him to make amends another day."

"The apology is not that serious, and it doesn't take much effort, but I may not be able to help you. That girl has the same temper as you." After Rousseau said this, he gave Ruochu a blank look. Why did her friends also agree with her?

Same, so individual.

"Oh, I'm sorry to bother you. I'll think of a solution again. It's my fault for not taking her feelings into consideration." Ruochu lowered his head. Shouldn't everything be full of hope in April? Why is everything so unsatisfactory?

Woolen cloth?"

"I can't tell you, I'm just here for you, but this girl really impressed me. I thought you were the only one in the world with such a personality. But now through you, I know that there are so many heroic girls.

Rousseau joked to Ruochu, his words came from the sincerity. Although Xia Tian made his efforts in vain, he really appreciated it.

Rousseau heard Ruochu say about Xia Tian's background. Her growing up environment was much different from Ruochu's. She came from an ordinary working-class family in a small city. She had to earn everything through her own efforts. If Ruochu didn't accept Rousseau's help,

There is a sense of proving her experimental nature. After all, even if she cannot find a job in her life, she will have enough food and clothing and will not face the problem of survival.

But Xia Tian is different. If she can't find a job, she won't be able to support herself and will be forced to return to the small city she doesn't want to go back to. The reality is always so powerful that it makes people breathless in front of people like Xia Tian.

So when Ruochu pitifully came to Rousseau and asked him to find a way to help Xia Tian find a job, Rousseau agreed without thinking. At that time, it was just to share Ruochu's worries. After everything was arranged, he agreed.

Being rejected by Xia Tian greatly touched Rousseau. Is it true that some people value dignity more than survival?

In fact, it was not that Xia Tian had not found a job. Ruochu had always wanted to find an opportunity to thank Xia Xia after being admitted to "Mirror", but he was worried that she had not found a job and doing so would put pressure on her, so he never expressed anything. Later, he was worried that she would not find a job and doing so would put pressure on her.

Ruochu heard that Xia Tian had found a job, so he found an opportunity to drag Xia Tian out for dinner.

Xia Tian is the kind of girl who is not very eye-catching, but looks very refreshing and comfortable. One of her biggest characteristics is that she can wear ordinary clothes with charm. She is not ostentatious at ordinary times, but is very independent in doing things.

They were in the same class as Ruochu and were in different classes. The two met at a debate competition. At that time, Ruochu and Xia Tian represented different camps for the pros and cons. They were tit for tat at the debate, refusing to give in to each other. In the end, Ruochu won the best debate.

Hand, and then became good friends with Xia Tian.

In fact, Ruochu is similar to Qin Nan in one thing, that is, he is not willing to spend time making friends, and is willing to do something he likes alone when he has time. Xia Tian is also very similar to her in this regard. The two of them have never been together.

Like other Tao sisters, they spend all day together. They only see each other occasionally and say hello when they meet. However, if anyone needs help, they will never sit idly by.

It was during dinner that day that Xia Tian told Ruochu that she had already found a job, but she chose to leave voluntarily because she couldn't stand the harassment from her boss, real or false. This was the first time Ruochu heard of this. At first,

Angry, and then felt sorry for Xia Tian.

It was not easy for Xia Tian to find that job. Although she needed a job, she was a student of the Chinese Department of Y University after all. She could not devalue herself no matter what, so even for this job, Xia Xia had to choose from thousands of options for a long time.

Not to mention going through numerous difficulties and dangers, he also passed through five hurdles and defeated six generals before entering. Ruochu knew how much he cherished Xia Tian, ​​but was resignation really the only way?

Xia Tian talked about what happened in an understatement while eating. In fact, his boss didn't do anything to her, it was just a hint. She could ignore it completely, but later she really couldn't stand him bowing to someone who refused to bow to him.

She was suppressed by her colleagues and couldn't help but say some fair words on her behalf. As a result, her boss found fault with her everywhere, and Xia Tian quit her job in anger.

Ruocheng only sighed after listening to it. She knew Xia Tian's temper. In her own words, people can live without anything, but they cannot live without dignity and pride. Judging from how calm Xia Tian talks about it now, she must have experienced a lot behind it.

You have to give up only if you have an ideological struggle. In fact, how can you not understand her?

Didn't she also plan to resign because she couldn't stand Pei Hua? If her father hadn't appeared, she might be in the same situation as Xia Tian now.

Ruochu is a little confused now. Is this a test that newcomers must face when they first enter the workplace? Should they endure it, or should they give up at all costs for dignity like Xia Tian? Although she has reservations about Xia Tian's impulsiveness,

Thinking that she might have to leave this city, I couldn't help but feel sad.

So after she separated from Xia Tian, ​​Ruochu directly found Rousseau, because Rousseau said he could help her find a job, and now she wanted to give this opportunity to Xia Tian. Rousseau didn't say anything at the time.

If Chu came today, Rousseau told her that her grandfather had already contacted a newspaper, so the two of them excitedly went to tell Xia Tian the news, and received a calm rejection and sincere thanks from Xia Tian. She only said one sentence

I invited you two to dinner another day, and then hurried off to the interview again, leaving Rousseau and Ruochu listlessly in a daze at the water bar.

"Rousseau, do you think I have double standards?" Ruochu pushed the milk tea cup away, put his two little hands on his chin and tilted his head to ask Rousseau.

"Why do you ask that?" Rousseau exaggeratedly followed Ruochu's example and tilted his head to ask.

"You're here, I'm asking you a serious question." Ruochu patted Rousseau's arm and said impatiently.

"A little bit." Rousseau thought for a while and said seriously.

"oh?"

"You don't even accept help yourself, yet you still have to help others." Rousseau suppressed his laughter. Ruochu looked so cute. His eyebrows were slightly furrowed and his mouth was pursed tightly, showing an expression of deep contemplation.

When Ruochu heard what Rousseau said, his eyebrows furrowed deeper, and he bit the straw out of habit. Rousseau took it over, and Ruochu licked his lips.

"But, I really want Xia Tian to stay, what should I do?"

"You can't force this, but I believe that Xia Tian will definitely succeed." Seeing that Ruochu couldn't lift her gloomy mood, Rousseau tried to make her happier.

"Why are you so sure?"

"Because of you, don't you think you two are very similar? Let's go, it's time to have lunch, I'll take you to eat something delicious." Rousseau got up and went to pick up Ruochu, when Ruochu's phone rang.

.

Ruochu's phone had just hung up, and Rousseau's cell phone rang. It was Qin Bei who informed them that they must go home in the evening to discuss important matters.

"Why do we need the two of us to go back together?" Ruochu couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he thought about it, so he said to himself.

"Stupid, if you want us to go back together, of course it's our business." Rousseau happily knocked Ruochu on the head. Anyway, he was very happy. It must be a good thing.

"Ignore you." Ruochu waved to Rousseau and walked towards the library. "Hey, do you want to go back together tonight?" Rousseau called after her. She originally wanted to have lunch together.

"No." Ruochu replied firmly.

If she came back with Rousseau, she would definitely be teased by Ruo Qi again. However, as soon as Ruo Chu entered the house, Rousseau followed her in. Ruo Chu couldn't help but suspect that he had followed her all the way, but his hiding skills were also very good.

Yes, I walked so far up the mountain without being discovered. I will learn this from him another day, but I can’t do it today because there are already many guests at home. Just look at the car parked in front of Qin’s house.

knew.

Sure enough, even Aunt Zheng Fang brought her little baby son, and everyone was gathering in front of the sofa in the living room to watch.

"I'm back." Ruochu shouted. The first person to turn around was Xiaochuan. Just as Ruochu was about to say hello, Xiaochuan smiled unnaturally at her, but immediately turned his head back. Ruochu hadn't waited yet.

Wondering.

"I'm back." Rousseau's voice sounded behind Ruochu. This time, everyone in the living room focused their attention on the two of them, as if everyone's eyes automatically paired the two of them as a pair.

Xiaochuan looked at Rousseau without revealing anything. In fact, he had met Rousseau before at Ruochu's birthday party. However, because Rousseau was relatively silent and was relatively young before, Xiaochuan didn't pay much attention to it.

To him, the two children standing together today looked like golden boys and girls, and they couldn't help but attract his attention.

"Godmother, aunt, uncle..." Ruochu sweetly called everyone in the living room, then put down his backpack and walked to the sofa to tease Xiao Shen. Xiao Shen's full name is Qiao Shen.

Qiao Qian had been proud for a long time, but Qin Bei still couldn't figure out what he was proud of. Isn't it just a pair of antonyms? It seemed as if his son had become famous.

Qin Bei waved Rousseau over and was about to formally introduce his beloved disciple to Xiaochuan and Qiao Qian. At this time, Ruoqi slipped down the stairs and saw Rousseau and called out enthusiastically: "Brother-in-law, you are here."

As a result, everyone was petrified.

Especially Ruochu, whose face turned red as a pomegranate. Xiaochuan looked at Rousseau again. It seemed that this child was not simple.
