The story of Rose starts with being a brother

Chapter 340 Three women and one drama
"Oh, God, I don't ask for much, I just hope that the people I love and the people who love me can be safe and happy..."

"I, the believer Lin Xiao, sincerely worship the Bodhisattva Cihang and pray..."

……

"Boss, you finished your worship so quickly?"

Inside the City God Temple, Nan Xiang and Jian Xi found a shady open space to stay in. Although the sunlight was warm in winter, it was still a little dazzling when it shone down at noon.

Jian Xi leaned against the wall and smiled: "Yeah, I don't think I have much to ask for, so I'll come out early to make room for others."

"Not much?" Nan Xiang glanced at him and chuckled, "Don't you ask the gods to bless you with more money when you do business? And... don't you ask the gods to bless you with more peach blossoms?"

"Ha!" Jian Xi shook his head with a smile, looked at Lin Xiao and Lin Quan who were worshipping devoutly in the Cihang Hall opposite, and replied softly, "These are actually enough for me. No matter how much more I ask for, it is just an empty dream. People must learn to be content."

"Contentment?" Nan Xiang looked a little strange when she heard that. She turned to look at the man who had changed her destiny and asked, "I never knew you were a contented person before. Whether you were a businessman or a man, you looked like someone who was always unsatisfied."

"Hey, be careful with your words! Is this how I look to you?"

The bastard glared at the woman who was slandering him. Nan Xiang turned away embarrassedly, but she was still mumbling, "Isn't it? All those bosses are like this. Aren't you like this too?"

"Then you made a mistake!" Jian Xi denied, and then laughed, "I'm different from them. I'm really not interested in money."

"..."

Seeing the look in Nan Xiang's eyes, Jian Xi just continued to smile without further explanation. His words really came from the bottom of his heart.

What’s the point of making more money for him?

Time travel will make all of these become empty.

No matter how hard I work to make money now, can I compare to my first self in this life?
At that time, I had just traveled through time, and my desire to make a lot of money was the strongest. I felt that such an opportunity was rare and it would be a waste if I didn’t seize it.

After that life ended, that desire became very weak. As for money, enough is enough.

It’s not that he chooses to give up just because he’s not interested in money. After all, the concept of “enough” is a bit broad. Jian Xi just thinks that it would be enough if he could live his life without having to worry about money.

Just like in the past, whether it was Na Jun's life or Yu Fei's life, he had the ability to acquire huge wealth, but he never invested too much energy in it, and he always kept dynamic adjustments according to different situations.

Of course, it is a good thing to have a corresponding ambition, because it can keep him alive and moving forward, yes...

"I am content to be alive."

Jian Xi spoke softly. Nan Xiang was surprised when she heard his words: "Boss, what's wrong with you? Why are you talking so old-fashioned today?"

"Old-fashioned?" Jian Xi came back to his senses and touched his chin, smiling, "Shouldn't you think that I, the boss, have become more charming?"

"..."

Nan Xiang was stunned for a moment, then said unhappily: "Narcissism!"

"Luckily you didn't say I was Pu Xin."

Jian Xi said something that Nan Xiang didn't understand, so she subconsciously asked, "What do you mean?"

"It's not important." Nan Xiang wrinkled her nose as soon as the dog man finished speaking. When she was about to say something, the dog man continued, "What's important is, when you came to the temple to worship before, did you say anything for me?"

"you guess."

"Then guess what, in a few days, I will deduct money from you for whether you enter the office with your left foot or your right foot."

"..."

Nan Xiang was so angry at the unscrupulous boss' words that she gritted her teeth. She stared and gritted her teeth and said, "I just wished you..."

"Well, watch your words."

"I wish you all the best!"

After a pause, Nan Xiang pouted again and said, "Didn't you just ask me to ask for this for you before?"

"That's good." Jian Xi nodded, looked at the two girls who had already finished praying, and said with a smile, "Didn't you ask for anything else? For example... about the red thread between us or something?"

Nan Xiang's eyelids twitched, and she said with a guilty conscience: "What red line or no red line? We are both..."

"Nan Xiang, it seems like you always call me boss when they're not around?"

"Isn't that what we call it at work?"

"You call me that when you're not at work."

"I'm used to it."

"We have known each other since middle school, so it would be more convenient for you to call me Jian Xi, right?"

"That's because, because..."

"Nan Xiang, you haven't really fallen in love with me, have you?"

"..."

The dog man's words, which truly implemented the secret of ordinary men, instantly froze Nan Xiang.

At this moment when the atmosphere was also tense, Lin Xiao and Lin Quan also walked over.

"What are you two whispering about standing here?" Before he even walked up to the two of them, Lin Xiao's voice rang out, "In such a serious place, don't say or do anything bad."

Lin Xiao's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them. Although she had known about this matter more than a month ago, she still felt uncomfortable when she saw Jian Xi and her best friend, no, her former best friend, standing together.

"What bad words or actions? We are just standing here waiting for you." Jian Xi glanced at Nan Xiang beside him, "By the way, let's talk about the work of the boss and the subordinates."

Hearing him deliberately emphasize the word "boss", Nan Xiang, who was already a little numb, felt even more... numb.

Lin Xiao, who hadn't heard it, snorted again and said, "How dare you talk about this abnormal workplace relationship?"

"What's wrong with that? It's so harmonious!"

The dog man smiled, turned around and said to Nan Xiang: "Come on, call me boss."

"..."

Nan Xiang's face was stiff. Seeing the way this bastard was staring at her and the two women in front of him with a smile, her throat rolled but she couldn't even open her mouth.

Lin Quan, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly felt something strange in his heart. He frowned subconsciously and said, "Senior, don't you forget why you came out today? You're treating me like I don't exist!"

The more he looked at them, the more they looked like they were flirting, right in front of him and Lin Xiao!
Lin Xiao also noticed it at this time, and his eyes suddenly sank slightly.

Jian Xi didn't feel sorry for being interrupted in her flirting, so she just laughed and said, "No, no, I'm just pretending you don't exist."

He paused for a moment, pretended to check the time, and then said, "Let's go, it's already this late, let's go have a meal together."

"Hmph." The little green tea girl snorted. Today was supposed to be a date for just the two of them, but now these two followers had interfered.

One monk carried water to drink, two monks carried water to drink, and three monks had no water to drink.

These two foreign monks are so annoying!

Following the tone set by the bad man, the few of them stopped standing stupidly in the temple. Just to avoid seeing the disturbing scene, this time Lin Xiao was very smart and walked in front with one person in each hand.

Nan Xiang was fine. Although she knew her best friend was smiling but had ulterior motives, she didn't say anything. She didn't want to add drama to herself anyway.

But Lin Quan was so angry that her teeth were itching. At this moment, she could understand even more how annoying the foreign monks were.

"Lin Xiao, are you sick? I made an appointment with the senior today, let me go!"

"What are you sending me? Have you forgotten that we were once close sisters?"

"Who is a good sister to you? You didn't feel that way when you scolded me before."

"Didn't you scold me? You even hit me!"

"You were the one who made the first move!"

"Just tell me whether you moved or not?"

"You...let me go. Your best friend is Nan Xiang. Just hold her and leave!" "She and I are not close to you."

Nan Xiang, whose hands were also tightly held, frowned when she heard this. Although her relationship with Lin Xiao was now in a strange situation and their best friend relationship had broken down, it was not completely broken up. But when it came to their close relationship in the past, she really didn't think that Lin Quan was as strong as herself and Lin Xiao.

Maybe there is gain and loss.

Nan Xiang secretly thought of what Jian Xi had just said to her.

"Aren't you two best friends? I can't compare to you."

"You really want me to tell you that we stripped naked and went to bed with Jian Xi, right?"

"..."*3
Lin Quan, who had just been trying hard to break free from Lin Xiao's hand, and Nan Xiang, who was secretly heartbroken, both fell into a strange silence. Even Jian Xi, who was walking behind and keeping an eye on this side, also fell silent.

Fortunately, he had a good physique, and he almost didn't hear what Lin Xiao said in a very low voice in broad daylight.

For a moment he didn't know what expression to use.

The group of four left Chenghuang Temple Commercial Street in silence. The three girls held hands and no one thought of breaking free. At first glance, you would really think they were three good girlfriends!
"Dingling bell~"

Just as they walked to Jian Xi's car in the parking lot, Nan Xiang's cell phone rang, breaking the strange silence among the three of them.

Lin Xiao let go of his hand. Nan Xiang took out her cell phone and saw that it was her mother calling, so she walked over and answered the call.

The remaining two women looked at each other.

"Humph!"

They all let go of each other's hands and moved a little distance away with disgust.

"What's wrong? Why didn't you say anything when you walked over here just now?" Jian Xi walked over with a smile and pretended to know nothing and spoke.

Lin Xiao looked a little embarrassed, but Little Green Tea said coldly: "Ask her, she never thinks before she speaks."

"What's wrong? Mr. Lin, if you keep saying I'm stupid, I won't be polite to you. How did you score on the test? Have you ever received a scholarship? You took the shortcut of the arts exam to get into Magic City University, do you really think you have a higher IQ than me? I'm the top scorer in the liberal arts department of Magic City!"

Lin Xiao, whose brain and IQ had been insulted many times by many people, finally couldn't stand it anymore. At this moment, she wanted to prove her IQ!

I, Lin Xiao, reject the slander that you are big-breasted and brainless!

Yes, as the most ordinary one among thousands of girls in Shanghai, although Lin Xiao usually does not think before she speaks or even has no brain at all, she is indeed the top scorer in liberal arts in the college entrance examination. Well, the top scorer in science is Gu Li.

My grades in the Chinese Department in college were always among the best, and I never missed out on scholarships.

It's just like the famous saying that there is gain and loss. Lin Xiao, whose IQ is all in his writing, made everyone forget this for a long time as soon as he opened his mouth, including Jian Xi who had always ignored this point.

"cough!"

The dog man coughed softly.

After Lin Xiao looked over, he was stunned for a moment, then he reacted and said softly: "Jian Xi, I don't mean to scold you. Your academic performance has always been very good. Studying art is just icing on the cake for you."

"..."

Lin Xiao's words just now instantly hit the other three people present, including Nan Xiang, who was also an artist and was talking to her mother on the phone. She also looked a little abnormal.

"Alright, alright, let's get in the car first. This is our first dinner party this year, don't make such a fuss that you lose your appetite later." What else could Jian Xi say? He had to try to smooth things over.

Because of Lin Zhuangyuan's domineering behavior just now, his aura instantly overwhelmed Lin Quan, so that the little green tea who had not yet recovered from the shock had no time to argue with her and let her sit directly on the passenger seat.

Seeing that the seat he sat in when he came here had been taken, Lin Quan gritted his teeth and had no choice but to sit in the back seat.

"What are you so proud of? I'm waiting for my graduate school admission."

The dry retort from the little green tea girl sounded like a tickle to Lin Xiao's ears.

"Don't you know that the college entrance examination has the most value? You're talking as if I can't take the postgraduate entrance examination. If one day I work while preparing for the exam, won't you be furious when I get it?"

"you!"

The little green tea girl was so angry that her chest heaved, but she couldn't refute it.

She was completely defeated in today's fight!
"Oh, yes, Lin Xiao, why don't you also take the postgraduate entrance examination?" At this time, Dragonfly Captain Jian Xi spoke again and took over the topic.

Lin Xiao frowned and thought for a while, then sighed and said, "I also thought about this problem when I was in school, but at that time Gu Li and the others didn't plan to take the postgraduate entrance examination. It was boring for me to stay in school alone, so I thought it would be better to go out and work early."

"How can it be the same? Gu Li has a family fortune to inherit, and she only wants to show her skills and make money as soon as possible. Naturally, she doesn't want to waste time on graduate school. As for Nan Xiang..." Jian Xi glanced at Nan Xiang who was making a phone call outside the car, then turned back to Lin Xiao and said, "You know what her situation was at that time. Graduate school was a financial burden for her. And Tang Wanru... Well, she really wanted to take shortcuts by taking the physical examination. Graduate school has nothing to do with her."

Although Tang Wanru was often criticized, Lin Xiao also agreed with this point of view. She looked at Jian Xi and asked curiously, "Why do I feel that you really want me to go to graduate school? Why didn't you tell me about it in school?"

"Haha, didn't you think that no matter which path I suggested you to take, you would regret the other one?" The dog man continued to lie with his eyes open, "And I believe in your ability. Now you have been working for two years including internship, and you have experienced this path. How do you feel?"

"Jian Xi..." Lin Xiao was still a little touched. Her boyfriend really cared about her all the time. After controlling her emotions a little, she continued, "That's it. Although it was very fresh and motivated when I first started working, after that... I was bored and tired."

After a pause, she pouted and said, "There are too many trivial things to do as Gong Ming's assistant following Kitty. I also have to make coffee every day. If Gu Li hadn't come, I would have wanted to quit."

"Wow! The work of the top student in liberal arts must be amazing. Even making coffee is unique. Can Senior Sister Lin Xiao teach the junior sister later~"

The little green tea girl in the back seat spoke again, and Lin Xiao's chest heaved up and down in an instant, and the seat belt sank deeply into his chest and disappeared without a trace.

Jian Xi suppressed his smile and spoke again: "Then you can consider another way, maybe it can refresh your spirit."

If Lin Xiao also took the postgraduate entrance examination, not only would his home be quieter, but he could also raise the average academic level of his girlfriends to the postgraduate level.

This is also a very meaningful thing. In the previous life, Xiao Ai was the only graduate student, and I can bring a lot back in this life.

Lin Xiao sighed and said, "But I'm a little reluctant to leave ME. I've been here for two years."

"That's no problem. I can save a seat for you." Jian Xi blinked and said meaningfully.

"You?" Lin Xiao asked doubtfully, "Can you influence ME?"

"Why not? When have I ever boasted?" Jian Xi said with a smile.

"Then I'll think about it."

Lin Xiao nodded, and Jian Xi did not urge him. Further studies or work was indeed a big deal for an individual. Although he thought it was interesting to raise his girlfriend's average academic level, he would not force it.

"It's okay, just take your time to think about it, there's no rush."

The three people in the car were silent for a few seconds, and then Nan Xiang, who was on the phone, came over.

"Okay, Mom, that's it. I won't go back for lunch. Oh, I said I was with Lin Xiao. The man's voice is his boyfriend, not Xi Cheng..."

Nan Xiang's voice sounded somewhat helpless, and she looked at Jian Xi with a pleading look.

The dog man smiled and said loudly: "Hello, Auntie, I am Jian Xi."

At this time, Lin Xiao was overjoyed when he heard Nan Xiang say that Jian Xi was her boyfriend. He also shouted loudly: "Auntie, it's me, Lin Xiao, Jian Xi's girlfriend!"

Although Nan Xiang felt a little uncomfortable, she still forced a smile into the phone and said, "Mom, you heard it, right? You remember Lin Xiao's voice, he said..."

"Auntie, there's also me, Lin Quan, who is also Jian Xi's girlfriend!"

When Nan Xiang was halfway through her words, Xiao Lu Cha's voice rang out, and everyone in the car suddenly fell silent.

"..."

"Haha, Mom, you heard me wrong. My friend was just teasing you. Okay, let's stop talking. We are going to have dinner. They have been waiting for me for a long time. Just like that, I'm hanging up!"

Nan Xiang spoke very quickly and hung up the phone right after she finished speaking.

After standing quietly for a while, she got into the car in silence, and the car continued to remain silent.

It felt like something had been directly picked out, leaving the three women at a loss as to how to break the awkward atmosphere.

This was the nth time today that such awkward silence had occurred between the three of them.

Even after the car started, they still didn't speak, but their eyes kept looking at each other, confronting, and colliding through the rearview mirror...

"Why aren't you talking? We're going to have...a reunion dinner!"
