AWB Chapter 374 Damn Instinct
Chapter 374 Damn Instinct
As the New Year approaches, the Spring Festival Gala rehearsals of TV stations across the country are firmly at the forefront of hot searches.
Almost all the well-known artists in the entertainment industry received invitations, except Xie Jiang.
Her name is not on any of the major TV stations’ Spring Festival Galas or the National TV Station’s Spring Festival Gala.
Fans from various entertainment groups who have always disliked her would go to Xie Jiang's Weibo to mock her, saying that variety show stars really have no class and can't even perform on the Spring Festival Gala.
Xie Jiang received a call from Sister Wu just as the car drove into the gate of the East District of Yuting.
She patiently listened to Sister Wu's complaints and couldn't stop laughing. "It's not that I wasn't invited, I just declined because I didn't have enough time. Just help me respond."
Sister Wu decided to quit her original company and joined the film and television company opened for her by her eldest brother after the new year, Jianglai, as the artist director.
"You respond yourself. I've sent you the invitation contracts. Don't forget to go to those two variety shows." Sister Wu complained, but couldn't help laughing. "Those fans must have forgotten that you sing beautifully and can also write lyrics and compose music."
"It's okay to forget. I just want to spend the New Year with my family this year." Xie Jiang laughed happily, "And take a good rest for a while."
The combined age of the two worlds is over fifty years old, and this is her first time celebrating the New Year, so she is looking forward to it.
There are no holidays or Spring Festivals in the end times. At most, on the Mid-Autumn Festival and New Year’s Eve, the canteens in major bases will have a few more high-scoring dishes.
But this year should be different.
Without the threat of zombies, the extremely cold and hot weather is not unbearable for those who are used to it.
Life safety is no longer threatened, materials for dealing with weather conditions have long been mass-produced, and it is only a matter of time before all humans return to the ground to survive.
"I've sent it all to you. Hurry and fix it." Sister Wu scolded with a smile, "I really owe you."
Xie Jiang ended the call, opened the invitation letter sent by Sister Wu, scanned it, logged into Weibo and sent it out: It’s not that I was not invited, but time does not allow it, so I declined.
As soon as the Weibo post came out, all the fans who came to complain about her not being invited fell silent.
She flipped through the trending search list, didn't see any topics of interest, and exited the window.
The car drove into the garage, Xie Jiang got out with the medal and certificate, and Zhou Yunyu followed closely.
She turned her head to look, and the corners of her lips unconsciously rose.
"Brother Tingshu is really persistent. Let's go to the boxing room. At least the floor is covered with sponges, so it won't hurt so much if you fall."
I don't even have the confidence to desensitize myself, so he's really brave.
[Forget it, I'll try to control myself later. If I can't control myself, don't blame me.]
Zhou Yunyu lowered her eyes to hide the nervousness in her eyes, followed Xie Jiang's footsteps silently, and secretly deduced in her mind how to respond and protect herself if she attacked her.
My sister's fighting power is terrifyingly high.
Only Xu Chen, Wen Yunxi and Song Zhizhi were in the villa preparing barbecue ingredients. Gu Ruyi and the others were busy with work arrangements before the holiday and had all returned to the company.
"Sister, are you done?" Xu Chen put down the half-skewered chicken wings in his hand, and smiled like a flower. "Everything in the yard is ready. Third brother built a greenhouse. We will have a barbecue in the greenhouse tonight."
"Have you informed my elder brother and his wife?" Xie Jiang was originally worried that they might freeze to death while barbecuing outdoors in such a cold weather, but having a greenhouse would make things much better.
"As I said, my eldest brother, his wife, and the babies will all be there. My second sister-in-law and my second brother might be late." Xu Chen's face was full of excitement. "Yunxi's cousins are coming too. Together with the children in the courtyard, we have prepared seven tables of food."
"It's well done. It doesn't matter if there are more ingredients. You can put the leftovers in the refrigerator." Xie Jiang waved his hand and turned to go upstairs. "I'll go upstairs to put something away. If you're too busy, the housekeeper can help."
Xu Chen smiled foolishly and nodded, "I know, we'll just do a little bit and the rest will be done."
They didn't have to prepare most of the ingredients. It was only because Wen Yunxi said she wanted to try something different that they specially prepared some marinated chicken wings and beef.
Ten minutes later, Xie Jiang and Zhou Yunyu entered the boxing gym.
Zhou Yunyu thought for a moment and asked, "Who took the initiative, me or my sister?"
It doesn't really matter who takes the initiative, but the degree of beating they receive may make a difference?
"I'll do it." Xie Jiang took a deep breath, reached out and hugged Zhou Yunyu, and the instinct from the depths of his soul quickly took over his brain, and he kicked Zhou Yunyu out.
Zhou Yunyu: Fortunately, we were prepared.
Xie Jiang: This damn instinct.
The first hug lasted less than a second, and the second, third, and fourth times were similar. Zhou Yunyu was kicked so hard that her whole body was in pain.
"No, I'll make an appointment with a psychologist later." Xie Jiang's face was full of apology, and he asked worriedly, "Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup?"
She didn't even think of holding back when she lost control.
"No, I'm not injured." Zhou Yunyu's face was covered with sweat, and his voice was slightly hoarse. "I have a classmate who is studying for a doctorate in psychology abroad. Why don't you chat with him online first?"
My sister's stress disorder is more serious than I thought.
"Okay." Xie Jiang humbly accepted his arrangement.
Her reaction is indeed a stress disorder. A psychologist might be helpful. It's always a good idea to give it a try.
Back on the first floor, Xu Chen and the others had prepared the ingredients. Dean Xu just happened to send a message asking when they would be there.
Xie Jiang sent a message to the others, telling them to go to the orphanage first.
Xu Chen and his team prepared everything and specially built a greenhouse. It was a little smaller than the Jiang family's old house, but it was decorated in a pastoral style.
The specially designed barbecue area has smoke and oil exhaust designs, so barbecue will not affect the flowers in the garden or pollute the air.
Xie Jiang likes this garden very much and wants to build one in the imperial courtyard.
"Like it?" Zhou Yunyu saw the excitement in her eyes and let out a faint laugh. "If you use your upgraded and improved temperature control system, the effect will be even better than here, and it can be completed before the Spring Festival."
"Then let's make one." Xie Jiang's eyes were filled with great joy, and he smiled narrowly, "Let's also make a swing and set up an afternoon tea area. Flowers and milk tea are a perfect match."
Xianyu wants to have a cup of milk tea and a dessert every day, and it would be best if he could also have a barbecue or other delicacies.
"Okay, I'll give you the design draft in a while." Zhou Yunyu curled up the corners of his lips with joy.
Xie Jiang smiled and nodded, then quickly ran to find Xu Chen and the others.
At 5 pm, everyone arrived, the greenhouse was filled with the aroma of barbecue, and bursts of laughter could be heard from time to time.
It was Dabao and Xiaobao’s first time to visit the orphanage. They quickly became friends with the other children and had a lot of fun playing with them.
Xie Jiang's mouth was full of oil as he ate. He leaned comfortably in the chair, listening to Tang Yue and the others gossiping, and the laughter of Dabao, Xiaobao and other children. He was so happy that he was bubbling with joy.
The stable life she had imagined countless times should be like this.
Eighteen sensed her thoughts and hesitated to speak up, "Jiang Jiang, do you want to have a sweet relationship? It will make you happier this way."
"Giving away money and resources, and still being called an idiot, is the kind of happiness?" Xie Jiang curled his lips in disdain. "I'm fine now. It doesn't matter whether I'm in a relationship or not. Compared to that, I'm more curious about what big case happened at the National Security Bureau."
When she returned to the police station in the afternoon, the chief didn't tell her. She didn't want to work overtime so she just pretended she knew nothing.
"I don't know about that either." Eighteen sighed, "But you have to deal with the trending searches. There are also two people stalking outside the orphanage. Their identities are unknown."
"Is someone watching me?" Xie Jiang suddenly became excited and excited. "Could it be that those wealthy families that I brought down really hired mercenaries?"
Both Giant Shark and Irene came from a mercenary training camp. They were cruel and ruthless, and killed people like crazy.
"You're overthinking it." Eighteen was so angry that she laughed. "Mercenaries usually don't come into the country to commit crimes. Those two look like paparazzi."
Whatever it was, they were following her, and she had to go out and take a look.
Xie Jiang looked around and found that no one was paying attention to her, so she picked up a skewer of pickled pepper beef and walked out of the greenhouse.
