(65) Conflicted Feelings

The couple who came to apply for the job were forty-six years old this year. They were childhood sweethearts. The man's name was Wei Wuguo, and the woman's name was Zhang Dongmei.

Wei Wuguo was once a military academy student. He was a person with a strong sense of justice. One time, he went out to do justice during the holidays and injured his face and eye. Naturally, he couldn't become a soldier again and could only retire.

He didn't cause trouble for the army. He took the allowance and retired directly to go home and find another way to make a living.

However, because he was blind in one eye and had a scar on his face, many companies didn't hire him.

In addition, he was only good at fighting. When the army gave him a place to study, he spent a lot of effort to pass the cultural exam. Other than his fighting skills, he wasn't so outstanding in other aspects that people ignored his appearance.

Even if he became a security guard, people would care about his reputation and eventually return to his hometown to farm.

Later, he met Zhang Dongmei, who was willing to live with him in his hometown. The two of them ended up together and had a daughter.

Their lives were ordinary, but their daughter was a good student and got into Imperial University.

They worked hard in their hometown and couldn't save much money all year round.

The couple wanted to give their daughter a better life and save more money. In the end, they decided to try their luck and see if they could find a job. On the other hand, they wanted to be closer to their daughter.

In order to find a job, he contacted his comrades who he hadn't seen for many years. After they retired from the army, some worked in the unit, while others looked for jobs on their own.

Although some of the security guards in the community seemed very ordinary, in reality, this job was very leisurely and well-paid. The benefits were very good.

Wei Wuguo didn't expect his old comrades to introduce them to jobs, so the couple was very diligent in looking for jobs.

He didn't expect that in just five days, a comrade would call him and say that an owner wanted to hire a couple. They both met the requirements and asked them to try.

After Fu Yunruo learned about the man's life, she also learned about the woman's life. It was a very ordinary life.

Fu Yunruo was quite tempted. They met the basic requirements, and there wasn't much of a problem with their people.

However, she wanted to know how good their fighting skills were.

If it was just ordinary, what if they were unlucky one day and were robbed here? Wouldn't they not be able to intimidate others and might even be injured?

Coincidentally, Qian Shengnan was also there. Fu Yunruo wanted them to spar.

In the end, the two of them tied, but according to Qian Shengnan, she lost.

There was no problem with his skills and character. The flaw in his looks could be ignored.

Moreover, this was a hero's medal, which would only make her admire it. In fact, she had gotten used to it after looking at it for a long time and did not find it scary.

Uncle Guo did not have any objections. If Fu Yunruo let them join the company directly, they would be on probation for three months. If they got along well and there were no problems, they would be promoted to full members in advance.

If Fu Yunruo offered them a generous salary, the couple would not have any objections and they could start work on the same day.

As a result, the people in the flower garden were all present, and the atmosphere was even more lively.

Uncle Guo could not wait to move to the flowerbed the next day. Now that there were other people in the flowerbed, Fu Yunruo had no reason to refuse.

Therefore, she decided to stay with her son in the flower garden for the time being.

The reason for moving over was to observe whether these two employees were qualified or not. If there were any problems, they would have to be replaced as soon as possible.

Wen Wen did not suspect anything. He was still very happy to live in the flower garden.

He was very interested in Uncle Wei's skills. Every morning, when Uncle Wei practiced outside, he would watch from the side and move his chubby hands and feet a few times.

He often saw Sister Shengnan practicing, but he felt that there was a difference between men and women. Therefore, even if he was curious, he only took a few more glances and did not pester to learn.

Now that there was an even better one, Wen Wen was even more interested.

If he could learn a thing or two, he would benefit for life!

There was another reason why Fu Yunruo wanted to live in the flowerbed. She always felt that she was too close to Si Yue, and it made her feel uncomfortable.

Although they had lived under the same roof for a period of time in the countryside, Si Yue had a sense of propriety at that time. They got along as comfortably as friends and did not feel ambiguous.

However, now that they were living next door, they saw each other every day. Si Yue would come over every morning to clock in and play with Wen Wen. Occasionally, he would come over to help her when he saw her working.

Moreover, she felt that Si Yue seemed to be flirting with her. Sometimes, his attitude was a little ambiguous …

Fu Yunruo thought of what Tiantian had said to her and could not help but think. Could it be that Si Yue wanted to woo her?

But she was unmarried and had a child … Thinking of Si Yue's attitude towards Wen Wen, perhaps even a biological father might not be to this extent. Did he really want to be Wen Wen's stepfather?

For a moment, Fu Yunruo was worried that she was overthinking, but for a moment, she felt that she was not wrong. In her dilemma, she simply avoided him.

However, after staying for less than two days, Fu Yunruo still had to run back to the villa during the day because her flowers were in the greenhouse at home …

Fu Yunruo took the opportunity to run back when Wen Wen was full and taking an afternoon nap to ask Brother Wei and his wife to help look after them.

She trusted this couple very much. She had seen their daughter, Wei Xiaoyue, who had been admitted to Imperial Capital University.

Fu Yunruo found out that the three of them were living in a rented house together and that Wei Xiaoyue had found a temporary job, so she also let her stay in the flower garden temporarily so that the couple could be at ease.

She temporarily shared a room with Wen Wen, while Wei Xiaoyue shared a room with Qian Shengnan.

This time, Fu Yunruo deeply felt that there were not enough rooms. When she suggested asking someone to build two more rooms, Wei Wuguo directly said that she could leave it to him.

He often helped people build houses in the countryside, so it was easier to build a two-story house here. He just had to build it on the right side of the house.

Coincidentally, they had nothing to do now, so the couple started working energetically. They were different every day.

That was not all. Wei Wuguo's comrades, who were also the security guards of the neighborhood, also came.

They were very grateful to Fu Yunruo for agreeing to let Wei Wuguo work here. They heard from somewhere that they were going to build a house, so they specially changed their shift and came over to help.

This was even more efficient. The house was built in an instant.

There was an extra room upstairs and downstairs. They could move in after a period of time.

Back at the scene, Fu Yunruo thought that Si Yue would not be at home in the afternoon and would be busy with other things. She quickly ran back to water and fertilize the flowers.

After letting her imagination run wild for a while, she quickly focused all her attention on the orchids and worked without any distractions.

Old Seven's leaves needed to be trimmed …

Fu Yunruo lowered her head and took care of Old Seven. Just as she put the tools away, she turned around and suddenly saw a person standing at the door. She was shocked and instinctively took a step back.

"Be careful."

Fu Yunruo’s eyes narrowed. Si Yue was already very close to her. He held her waist with one hand and his other hand reached over her to support the potted plant that she had accidentally knocked over in her panic.

The two of them were very close. Fu Yunruo’s nose was almost pressed against the other party's chest. She seemed to be surrounded by the other party's breath.

Fu Yunruo’s heart was beating very fast. She was scared.

Her hands were on the shelf behind her. Her waist was pressed against the obstacle, and her body leaned back slightly.

"Did I scare you?" Si Yue moved a little further away and looked down at her.

Fu Yunruo looked up. "Why are you here?"

Didn't he scare her? Anyone who saw someone standing behind them without being mentally prepared would be scared, okay?

Fu Yunruo felt as though her soul was about to leave her body.

"… Sorry."

Si Yue felt a little wronged. Was he unbearably ugly? How could he scare her?

His posture was clearly the most charming …

"I heard some movement here, so I came over to take a look."

"…" Fu Yunruo was speechless.

She did not tell anyone about her thoughts. Qian Shengnan also did not know about her inner struggle. She only knew that Si Yue was a friend, so she naturally let him in.

"I came back to take a look at the flowers."

"Okay." Si Yue did not ask further. Fu Yunruo did not explain further.

The two of them looked at each other speechlessly.

Fu Yunruo then realized that their posture was not right. They were too close, and Si Yue's hand was hugging her waist!

Fu Yunruo instinctively reached out to push him away.

She pushed with all her might, but … he did not budge …

Si Yue stood in front of her like a mountain.

Si Yue looked down at the two palms that were pressed against his chest and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Fu Yunruo followed his gaze. Her palms seemed to be able to feel the other party's body temperature through his clothes. It was so hot that her scalp was numb.

A smile appeared in Si Yue's eyes. "Is it nice to touch?"

She immediately retracted her hand as if she had been electrocuted. "I … I'm not …"

Fu Yunruo’s face was burning red. Her original intention was to push him away, but it seemed like she was taking advantage of him.

"Mr. Yue." She tried to stay calm. "I'm not used to being so close to others."

Si Yue retracted his hand and took two steps back.

Fu Yunruo secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Yunruo …" Si Yue had just called out her name when Fu Yunruo felt her scalp tingle. She quickly interrupted him. "Mr. Yue, I'm done here. It's time to go back to the garden."

"If I don't go back, Wen Wen will make a scene. I'm sorry." Fu Yunruo did not give Si Yue a chance to speak.

Si Yue: "Okay. Be careful on the road."

Fu Yunruo: "?" She nodded blankly.

That's it? Nothing else to say? What did he mean? Every time she thought that he was interested in her, he would not pester her or flirt with her in the next moment. It made her heart flutter, and she could not help but wonder what he meant.

"Mr. Yue …"

"Yes?"

Fu Yunruo swallowed the words that were about to come out of her mouth. She felt that she was imagining things. If she really misunderstood, wouldn't it be very awkward in the future?

If the other party's attitude was clearer, she could have rejected him. But now, she really could not say it.

"No, I'm leaving."

"Okay." Si Yue turned around and left. "We'll play together when you come back."

Fu Yunruo: "…"

Fu Yunruo went back with a conflicted heart.

But soon, she did not have the time to think about his thoughts.

The garden would officially open in ten days. But before that, there was a very important matter.

Wen Wen should go to kindergarten.

Wen Wen felt like a bolt from the blue. He was having fun, but he had to go to school?!

He did not want to go to kindergarten with a group of brats!

"Mom …"

"You're not young anymore. You're already a four-year-old baby. The other children are also going to kindergarten at your age."

"Mom …"

"Everything is good at home. I don't need you to accompany me. Grandpa Guo also doesn't need you to accompany him. There are uncles, aunties, and aunties in the garden. We don't need your help."

"What other reasons do you have?"

Wen Wen: "…" All the excuses he wanted to find were blocked. Wen Wen held back for a long time before he finally said righteously, "But I know a lot of words and can calculate. I don't need to go to kindergarten to learn!"

"Oh? Then I'll test you. "

"Mom, go ahead and test me!" Wen Wen was very confident. He was familiar with the scripts and knew countless words. He even remembered the multiplication table and pinyin. He was not afraid of being tested at all!

Fu Yunruo found a pen and paper and wrote a word.

"How do you pronounce this word? What does it mean? "

"???" Was this a word? Wasn't it partial division leader?! What was the meaning of this?

Fu Yunruo said earnestly, "Baby, this is the simplest word. It's just one stroke. You have to learn it in kindergarten."

Wen Wen: "…" He remembered so many scripts, but he did not know how to pronounce this word?

"The sky is vast and the fields are boundless. Cattle and sheep are seen when the wind blows the grass. Where does it come from? "

… This, there was no such thing in the ancient nursery rhymes? But he seemed to have some impression of it …

"What's the thirteenth decimal point of pi?"

Wen Wen quickly counted with his fingers.

3.1415926 …

What was the number after that?

Wen Wen's eyes turned into mosquito coils. These questions were too difficult …

Why didn't she test him what 1 + 1 equaled …
