Chapter 49 Mysterious Jade Peace Amulet

Jiang Xiaobai opened the refrigerator, took out some ice cubes, put them in a bowl, took a bag of yogurt, left the kitchen, and handed the ice cubes to Susan.

Susan's face was even redder at this time, like an autumn apple, and her lips were dry.

"Stretch out your arm so I can take your pulse. If it's normal, we don't need to go to the hospital. Just apply ice first. If it's abnormal, we have to go to the hospital. There's no room for negotiation."

Jiang Xiaobai said decisively.

"Oh well."

Susan hesitated and stretched out her arm. Jiang Xiaobai held her wrist. It must be said that Susan's body temperature was really high. When his hand touched her skin, she felt like she was burning.

After taking Susan's pulse, I found that she was normal.

"Drink this bag of yogurt, then lie down and I'll apply it on you..."

Jiang Xiaobai handed her the yogurt.

"OK."

Susan took the yogurt and drank it in two gulps, then lay down.

Jiang Xiaobai sat next to her and took out the books borrowed from the unit's reading room and placed them next to her. He applied ice to Susan while reading a book and taking her pulse every once in a while.

The two of them didn't speak. Apart from the sound of Jiang Xiaobai occasionally flipping through books and the sound of him getting up every once in a while to change the water or get ice cubes, there was no other sound.

The room was quiet.

Susan had fallen asleep long ago and was very quiet.

Jiang Xiaobai checked her pulse again and found that her temperature had begun to drop. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her...

She had a crush on him for four years. Her family found her a job in the government, but she refused to go back and secretly rented a house near where he lived... She also gave him a jadeite imperial green peace amulet that had been passed down for eighteen or maybe nineteen generations... This girl with glasses is so stupid...

But she really wasn't to his taste.

He felt that he should like the kind of girl who has a pretty face, a perfect figure, knows how to dress up, put on makeup, wink and act coquettishly, and is feminine...such as Jiang Xue and Bai Jie.

Susan obviously doesn't fit any of these criteria...

"Ah... I'll return this thing to you..."

Jiang Xiaobai took out the imperial green jadeite peace amulet from the desk drawer, looked at it for a moment, and placed it next to Susan's pillow.

At this moment, Susan curled her lips and a trace of saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth. I don't know if she was eating chicken legs or some delicious food in her dream.

Jiang Xiaobai felt a little sympathetic for some reason. When her fever subsided, he took her out for a few good meals. It was estimated that her living standard was not much better than his since graduation.

He wiped her saliva with a towel, looked away and continued reading.

Jiang Xiaobai didn't notice at all that the imperial green jadeite amulet placed next to Susan's pillow was emitting strands of soft green light that sank into Susan's body.

…

I don't know how long it took, but Jiang Xiaobai fell asleep on the bed in a daze. When he woke up, he saw that there was no one on the bed, and he was covered with a blanket, so he stood up quickly.

"Are you awake? I've prepared breakfast for you. Come and have it..."

Susan walked out of the kitchen and stood there, still wearing Jiang Xiaobai's loose T-shirt and loose shorts. Her hair was simply tied with a rubber band. She was not wearing those black-framed glasses. Her face was pale and slightly rosy, and she looked in good condition.

"...still has some conscience and knows how to make breakfast for me."

Jiang Xiaobai walked over and entered the kitchen. On the cupboard were two breakfasts, two servings of porridge and two fried eggs, which looked quite presentable.

"Your house doesn't even have a dining table, so let's just sit here and eat. This is my first time frying eggs..."

Susan handed a pair of chopsticks to Jiang Xiaobai.

Jiang Xiaobai took the chopsticks, picked up the fried egg and took a bite... As soon as it entered his mouth, he tasted a salty and bitter taste. It turned out that Susan had put the ancestor of salt in it. He resisted the urge to spit it out, chewed it casually twice and swallowed it.

"How is it? Is it delicious?"

Susan blinked her big eyes with anticipation.

"You'll know if you try it yourself."

Jiang Xiaobai obviously couldn't eat the fried egg anymore. He looked at the black rice porridge and picked it up. Before it even reached his mouth, a strong smell of burnt food wafted out. He was speechless and wanted to put it down immediately. Seeing Susan's expectant eyes, he forced himself to take a sip. As expected, it was bitter and salty...

"I think we should order takeout."

Jiang Xiaobai put down the bowl, turned and walked out to the kitchen.

"You are disrespecting the fruits of my labor. I don't believe it is so unpalatable."

Susan simply picked up the fried egg with her chopsticks and took a bite.

"Wow!"

As soon as it entered my mouth, I spat it out immediately.

"Oh my god, too much salt? This is a mistake..."

Susan picked up the porridge again, put it to her cherry lips, hesitated for a moment, and took a small sip.

"vomit..."

Throwing it out again...

"Oh my god, it tastes so bad, is it burnt? What a failure..."

She put down the porridge and sighed...

She glanced at Jiang Xiaobai's back as he walked out of the kitchen. She moved her mouth, wanting to say something, but she didn't know what to say. She remembered that Jiang Xiaobai had only eaten a little bit, but he swallowed it all...

"I've already ordered takeout, and your clothes are almost dry. Change into them later. Come with me and I'll buy you a new phone and a new phone card. You'll also have to report your bank card lost and freeze it, or get a new one. Ask your landlord for your keys. If he doesn't have a spare, call a locksmith to change the locks. Tell me in detail where you lost your wallet and phone. I'll call my colleague and ask him to contact PCS over there to see if they can catch the thief through surveillance and help you get your things back."

Jiang Xiaobai's voice came from the bathroom.

Susan stood there in a daze, listening to Jiang Xiaobai's arrangements. Slowly, her eyes began to moisten, tears welling up...

She wanted to cry... She bit her lip and held it back.

"Jiang Xiaobai...can I just live here..."

Susan lowered her head, two blushes on her face, and spoke in a mosquito-like voice. A small flame mark as big as a grain of rice was flickering between her eyebrows, looming.

"What did you say? I was washing my hair and I didn't hear you."

There was a sound of water splashing in the bathroom; Jiang Xiaobai was washing his hair.

"I... said... nothing."

Susan took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, held her head high and walked out of the kitchen a few steps.

…

In less than 20 minutes, the takeaway arrived, Jiang Xiaobai finished washing up, and Susan changed back into her original clothes. After eating the takeaway, they officially went out.

Downstairs, I took a taxi and headed to East Street, the most prosperous and lively street in the city.

When they arrived at East Street, Jiang Xiaobai bought her a mobile phone for more than 10,000 yuan. Then he went to the clothing store next door and bought two sets of expensive clothes for Susan. Susan refused to wear them, and Jiang Xiaobai threatened her a few times before she changed. It must be said that after changing into new clothes, Susan did look much prettier and a little more feminine. After leaving the clothing store, they saw a row of barbershops. Jiang Xiaobai wanted to do Susan's hair again, but Susan refused to do it, so Jiang Xiaobai had to give up. The next step was to apply for a new mobile phone card, because Susan's ID card was also lost with her wallet, and she couldn't apply for a new one without her ID card. Jiang Xiaobai had to use his ID card to apply for a phone card for Susan.

In the blink of an eye, it was noon. Jiang Xiaobai brought Susan into a high-end restaurant, preparing to let Susan have a good meal so that she would not drool in her dreams.

As soon as they sat down, Jiang Xiaobai's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Zhang Yingying calling. Jiang Xiaobai was a little confused, not knowing whether to answer it or not. If nothing unexpected happened, Zhang Yingying came to blame him for standing up Bai Jie last night. After hesitating for a while, he still answered the call.

"Yingying, what's wrong?"

Jiang Xiaobai had already thought of an excuse, which was that he was carrying out a mission last night. In fact, he did carry out a mission last night.

"Xiaobai, where are you? Come here quickly, Wang Dong is about to jump off the building!"

Zhang Yingying's panicked and crying voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Ah? What? Yingying, don't panic. Tell me where you are and why Wang Dong wanted to jump off the building. I'll call and calm him down."

Jiang Xiaobai said hurriedly.

"We are in the Rose Building opposite Xingqing Park. Wang Dong lost all the 3 million yuan that our family gave us to buy a house in stock trading... He also borrowed money from loan sharks... Xiaobai, come here quickly, he's about to jump..."

Zhang Yingying cried and shouted.
