Chapter 245: Playing dumb to the end
Du Yimeng gave the other roast duck that had not been eaten to Xiao Jin. It was not because she was generous, but because she was tired of eating it.
She was obviously very greedy when she first smelled the roast duck, but for some reason, after having a bite in the car, she didn't want to eat anymore. What a strange thought.
Xiao Jin asked the chef in the cafeteria to help heat up the duck. When he was about to return to the dormitory with the roast duck, he turned around and went back to the staff quarters.
Wan Ping, who was having dinner, was shocked when he saw Xiao Jin carrying something and a lunch box.
"Comrade Wan, my sister-in-law gave me a roast duck, but I can't finish it. Could you help me?" Xiao Jin said embarrassedly.
This kid had washed his lunch box several times. He was a man who clearly distinguished between gratitude and resentment and would not let others work for nothing.
"Help with what?" Wan Ping replied stupidly. He wouldn't ask him to help eat it, would he? He could certainly help with that. The aroma of roast duck went straight into his nose, making him swallow subconsciously.
"Eat it!" Xiao Jin put his lunch box on the table and opened the roast duck. The aroma became stronger.
He nodded secretly, thinking that it was right to ask the chef to help heat it up. If he did it himself, the fragrant roast duck would be wasted.
Wan Ping looked at Xiao Jin in surprise. There was such a good thing in the world. Then he remembered what his father taught him.
For example, when you encounter something that you can't solve, just play dumb and keep going.
Whether it is a human or a ghost, it will naturally appear in front of him, and then he will be able to find out who is the troublemaker at a glance.
The footsteps that night frightened him at first, but he wasn't as frightened as he acted.
In other words, he acted so scared on purpose because his father said that only if he exaggerated his fear would something like this not happen again.
He doesn't need to do anything next. He just needs to continue to act stupid and that person will feel guilty and take the initiative to make it up to him.
His father also said that his harmless appearance is his greatest protective color.
He didn't understand at first, until two months passed and he didn't encounter the same thing again, then he understood what his father meant.
Now, when he saw Xiao Jin coming to his door with things in his hands, he suddenly seemed to understand that the person that night was indeed Xiao Jin.
Thinking of this, a look of smugness appeared on his face. After all, he had guessed it right at the beginning.
He looked at Xiao Jin with sparkling eyes. Is this the ghost his father was talking about?
He is not good at intrigue, but he has a smart head!
Whether it is one more enemy or one more friend, he still knows how to choose.
As soon as Xiao Jin lowered his head, he met Wan Ping's bright eyes. When their eyes met, he saw the joy in the other's eyes at a glance.
It’s just a roast duck, are you so happy?
For some reason, the corners of his mouth slowly curled up, revealing a faint smile. This time it was no longer the shy smile he used to disguise.
He had seen all kinds of people, but he had never seen anyone as stupid as Wan Ping, so stupid that people couldn't bear to bully him.
Wan Ping was stunned. He laughed because he caught a ghost.
Then what is Comrade Jin laughing at?
Is it because I sent him food? Comrade Jin is quite stupid...
"Comrade Wan, here..." Xiao Jin pulled a duck leg and handed it to Wan Ping.
"Thank you, Comrade Jin. Can I call you Xiao Jin? You can also call me Xiao Wan. Calling me comrade feels too distant." Wan Ping cautiously tested.
"Xiao Wan..." Xiao Jin was stunned for a moment, then replied with a smile.
"Xiao Jin..." Wan Ping laughed, this time even happier. He had dealt with another enemy. He couldn't rely on force or other means to deal with the enemy, but he had his own methods.
"This is the restaurant's roast duck!" Wan Ping took a bite of the meat and said vaguely.
"Have you eaten there?" Xiao Jin asked in surprise. Didn't they say that the restaurant required reservations in advance?
Anyway, he had never eaten it before. As he spoke, he pulled off the other leg of the roast duck and took a bite. It smelled delicious and tasted even better.
"Well, my dad treated us to a meal at a restaurant last time, and I joined in for a meal." Wan Ping's tone was a little depressed when he said this. He missed home again, and this time, he missed his biological father as well.
His words made Xiao Jin's hand pause, and then it returned to normal.
"Xiao Jin, how many people are there in your family?" Wan Ping asked curiously. He didn't mean anything else, he was just chatting.
"There's no one at home, just me." Xiao Jin said pretending to be indifferent.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Jin, I... I shouldn't have asked..." Wan Ping explained stutteringly. How could he ask someone this question?
He really didn't mean it. Even if he didn't understand the ways of the world, he couldn't stab someone in the chest.
"It's okay, I don't care myself. My father died before I was born, and my mother died of complications during childbirth. I grew up with my grandfather, and then he passed away, leaving me alone in the family." Xiao Jin said in a flat tone, as if he was talking about someone else's affairs.
When he was little, his life was difficult. He was considered a wild child and the target of bullying by his peers. He was very thin at that time, and when others bullied him, he had no choice but to run away.
At first he couldn't escape, and what awaited him was being unable to get out of bed for several days. Later he ran desperately, and as long as he ran fast, no one could catch up with him.
When he was a child, he didn't understand why those people always bullied him. Now he understands, it's because he is a child with no one to protect him.
When he grew up, he wanted to join the army to make a living, but the soldiers thought he was too thin. It was not until they saw his speed that he was retained.
He is capable now and no longer holds a grudge about what happened in the past, but he will never forgive those who bullied him.
Because of his childhood experiences, he became a person who would seek revenge on the spot. Otherwise, after a long time, it would be boring to seek revenge later.
"Xiao Jin, I have two fathers, I'll give you one..." Wan Ping said subconsciously. He was stunned when he said this. Can he give his father to anyone else casually?
"I don't want this. If you have a sister you can introduce to me, I'm not a child anymore." Xiao Jin said with a smile. Although Wan Ping's words sounded a bit silly, it made him feel warm in his heart, and he simply didn't want to pretend anymore.
Wan Ping's words invisibly brought the two people closer together.
What Xiao Jin didn't know was that Wan Ping had already known what happened that night, but he just liked to play dumb to the end.
"Come on! I'm still hoping... I'm still hoping someone will introduce me to a date!" Wan Ping wanted to say that he was still hoping Xiao Jin would introduce his sister to him, but fortunately he stopped in time and changed his words.
