Backfired

"If you're so scared and looking for a tough girl, don't waste your time," Cayce said sourly, "Should you marry a better woman?"

Jonas looked stunned, "What do you mean, that woman?"

"What do you say?" Cayce asked rhetorically.

Jonas shook his head, "No, I'm a little dizzy."

Cayce sent him a text, but Jonas was afraid to reply.

Jonas pulled out his phone and Jonas saw Ouyang Xiu 's voice.

Jonas immediately turned on his voice, "We'll talk if you're there."

Ouyang Xiu immediately sent her a video, before Jonas spoke up: "I want to talk to you, but I'm a little drunk, do you mind?"

Ouyang Xiu smiled, "I love to drink."

Jonas said, "I'll buy you a drink some other time, and by the way, I'd like to introduce you to my brother Django, who is a fool."

Ouyang Xiu said cheerfully, "There's a pervert, come on, it's fun, next time you have to invite me."

Jonas asked with concern, "Why are you wearing so little, are you cold?"

Ouyang Xiu said, "I'm at home. By the way, you went out to play."

J: "No, I'm eating at home, I'm going to watch the DVD."

"What's your favorite movie?" Ouyang Xiu asked immediately.

J: "My favorite TV show is Eastern TV, then American TV."

Ouyang Xiu echoed: "I quite like Dongyang TV series, but it's really hard to find on the internet right now."

Jonas sighed, "Probably because of the restrictions in our country."

Ouyang Xiu said to Jonas, "How about we come back later?"

Jonas nodded, "That's settled then."

"Jonas, have you and Yana ever watched Dongyang TV at home?" Ouyang Xiu asked again.

Jonas replied faintly, "Very little, she likes to watch European and American movies."

"So, what do you have in common?" Ouyang Xiu asked curiously.

Jonas thought for a moment and then added, "I don't know, I was just having a casual conversation."

Ouyang Xiu quipped: "Well, that's good, so we can have a chat."

Jonas immediately replied, "Of course, but I think she has a little more to do with me."

"What's the word?" Ouyang Xiu asked quizzically.

Jonas mused for a moment, "Maybe I'm delusional, she doesn't feel the same way about me as I do about her."

Ouyang Xiu comforted Jonas: "Every girl's love is different, I like this intimate feeling more, maybe she is this type of bar. You don't care, you finally have a girl you want, you can stop thinking."

Jonas was touched, "You are a good man, not like Cayce."

Ouyang Xiu smiled, "Cayce likes you so much, can you think of her?"

Jonas said lightly, "I will never back down. One day, I will only target the one person I like most."

Ouyang Xiu asked, "Yana, you mean you can always welcome her if she comes to you after the two of you break up?"

Jonas immediately retorted, "What are you talking about, but it is what it is.

Ouyang Xiu's eyes widened, "You like her that much?"

Jonas sighed, "Yeah, I really like her, and I don't think I can lose her."

"Stay with her and don't let your love get lost," Ouyang Xiu said with concern.

Jonas nodded, "Well, I'll trouble you."

"It's okay, they're all friends." Ouyang Xiu said nonchalantly.

Next, Jonas and Ouyang Xiu had a chat that didn't go anywhere. Jonas thought Fangjie was so cute. If he didn't have a girlfriend, if he didn't know about Yana, he would have targeted her.

The next morning, Jonas met Chuang Bi-fan at the town gate for the first time.

Jonas asked, "When is our side going to be demolished? I'm still waiting for the house and the money for it."

Zhuang Bifan pulled Jonas by the arm and whispered to him, "I'll be honest with you, keep quiet."

Jonas looked puzzled, "Why so mysterious, what is the point?"

Chuang Bi-fan lowered his voice and whispered, "Is this place going to be torn down?"

Jonas was aghast, "No, what's going on?"

Chuang Bifan immediately shouted to J, "Keep your voice down."

Jonas quickly asked, "What happened?"

Chuang Bi-fan lowered his voice and asked, "Isn't there an old Jewish house here?"

Jonas nodded, "Well, the minister from the United States was here some time ago, and they say it was a refuge for Jews during World War II, and there are a lot of old Jewish houses here, and there should be synagogues there."

"Good," Chuang Bi-fan said quickly, "these houses are historic and can't be torn down.

Jonas looked stunned, "No way, isn't everything being demolished around here?"

Zhuang Bifan turned to look at Jonas. "Is this not far from here? It's just our area. Everything else is going to be torn down! You want to get married, you want to buy a house, you want to get a better job?"

J's eyes darkened and he almost fainted. He felt like he had no hope in life.

After work, Jonas called Yana and asked her to go to a movie.

Yana looked at Jonas, "It's hard to work overtime for a day, how about we go eat first?"

Jonas immediately agreed.

Arriving at Yana's office, he found her waiting for him outside.

Although Jonas felt that Yana was somewhat indifferent to him, all his melancholy vanished when he saw Yana's smile. She walked hand in hand with J.

"J, how's the company coming along?" Yana asked Jonas, sitting in the dining room.

Jonas stammered, "I need to do something."

Yana asked, "Any progress on the demolition?" . . . . . . "

Jonas looked at her, "Working on it, it will take time, not too soon."

Yana smiled, "Yes, not too soon."

Yana's cell phone rang and she winked at J.
