After the breakup, I became my ex-girlfriend's white moonlight

Chapter 19: The Hidden Jianghuai

Shen Zhuo drove Jiang Huai back to the rental house. "Mr. Jiang, Miss said if you have anything to do these days, just go and do it yourself. She will let me contact you if she needs anything."

Jiang Huai nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

In the days to come, Jiang Huai will have to plan carefully and find a job to support himself.

Jiang Huai turned on his phone and saw unread messages from Cheng Jingyi and Jiang Yunyao.

[Jiang Huai, Lin Jia just called me to ask about you, and I told her that you are still in Mei Country.]

Since there was nothing to do, Jiang Huai called Cheng Jingyi back, "I just ran into Lin Jia, but she didn't see me clearly, so let's not talk about her for now."

"Let me tell you, Liu Ruyan actually asked me to pretend to be her boyfriend..."

Jiang Huai briefly told Cheng Jingyi what happened today. Cheng Jingyi was shocked and said, "Damn, I didn't expect she was such a person."

"But you are too abstract. You have been a stand-in for Lin Jia Bai Yueguang for so long, and now you are a stand-in for the class monitor and her boyfriend."

"Yeah! That's bullshit."

"Then what are your plans?"

"Not yet. I'll take it one step at a time and find a job to support myself first."

"Sure, if you need any help, just let me know."

The hotpot restaurant was still a bit busy at this time, so Cheng Jingyi and Jiang Huai hung up the phone after a few words.

Jiang Huai looked at the message sent by Jiang Yunyao.

[Jiang Huai, what are you busy with? ]

[Nothing to do, I'm going to sleep. ]

Jiang Yunyao was a little angry when she received the message. Why didn't she reply earlier if she wasn't busy? She had to wait until she went to bed to reply. Who was she trying to fool?
[Don’t you want to pay attention to me? ]

Jiang Huai thought about it and replied "yes". Anyway, he didn't have the habit of chatting with others.

【Then I'll find you tomorrow! 】

Seeing this, Jiang Huai was a little confused. With his straight-forward attitude, if it were any other girl, she would definitely be angry or not reply to the message, but Jiang Yunyao said such words.

"No way?" A bold guess emerged in Jiang Huai's mind, Jiang Yunyao likes him?
"No, no, no!" Jiang Huai shook his head, thinking that he might be overthinking it. Maybe the other person just treated him as a brother and cared about him out of nothing?

Jiang Huai has had two benefactors in his growth. The first one was Xia Zhangsheng who cured his brain cancer.

The second "noble person" was Lin Jia, who cured his love-brain.

Now he has completely lost the expectation of romance, just like a man who suddenly becomes interested in fishing, watching others drive excavators, and watching others build in the wilderness when he gets older.

There was a popular meme on the Internet before called Sigma Man, so Jiang Huai changed his WeChat username to this.

A Sigma man never falls into a woman’s trap.

The next day, Jiang Huai changed into casual clothes and went straight to Jiangcheng Talent Market.

After filling out the resume, Jiang Huai didn't know which position to apply for because he had a gap of several years and most of the recruiters didn't want him.

"Hello, what position are you recruiting for?" Jiang Huai asked a recruiter.

The recruiter asked Jiang Huai, "Have you ever studied acting?"

"I haven't studied it, but I was the vice president of the acting club when I was in college." "Oh? So you're good at basic acting?" The recruiter's eyes lit up.

"Yes."

"My name is Liu Licheng, I'm a director. Are you interested in acting? We make short videos and short dramas. The salary will be paid daily or in installments depending on the role. If you perform well, we can cooperate with you for a long time or even sign you to our crew."

"You can give it a try!" Jiang Huai couldn't find a job for a while anyway, so he might as well try this crew.

"Okay, since you have an idea, let's add each other's contact information. Tomorrow morning we will come to the crew to audition for a small role. Whether we are selected or not, we will get paid if we film it!"

Jiang Huai agreed, "Okay, no problem."

After leaving the job market, Jiang Huai looked at Liu Licheng's circle of friends, Maying Media, which looked quite serious, sharing the daily life of the crew.

.......
In the afternoon, Jiang Huai went back to his parents' home. Jiang Yi was at school and Jiang Zewen was at work, so Bai Cuiyun was the only one at home.

"Xiao Huai, does your head still hurt now?" Bai Cuiyun asked, grabbing Jiang Huai's hand.

Jiang Huai took off his wig and said, "No, I will go to the hospital for regular checkups."

Looking at the hideous scar on Jiang Huai's head, Bai Cuiyun felt distressed. She couldn't imagine how helpless Jiang Huai must have been when he had to bear all this alone.

As a mother, I happened to learn about Jiang Huai’s illness. If I hadn’t discovered it, it would probably have been kept secret for the rest of my life.

"Xiao Huai, why don't you move back home? Mom can take care of you at home."

"Forget it mom, I have a place to live and the rent has been paid for several months."

The house is a two-bedroom apartment. If Jiang Huai comes back, he will still have nowhere to live. He can only sleep in the study. However, the study is not big, and Jiang Zewen has to work in the study on weekdays. It feels inconvenient no matter how he lives there.

Jiang Huai was still a little afraid of his parents. Years of habits could not be changed overnight with just a few words.

"Xiao Huai, don't take what your father said to you seriously...Stay for dinner tonight and let's talk it out!"

"Okay." Jiang Huai was not disappointed. He came back for dinner as he had promised.

Parents are connected by blood, and it is difficult to separate them.

Because there is a scar on the top of his head, Jiang Huai has to apply ointment to improve the scar and speed up recovery, so Jiang Huai does not wear a wig at home.

As evening approached, Bai Cuiyun began to busy herself in the kitchen.

Jiang Huai also helped Bai Cuiyun. Seeing Jiang Huai's skilled knife skills, Bai Cuiyun was a little surprised, "Xiao Huai, you can cook?"

"Yes, I will." Jiang Huai replied with a smile.

In the past, Lin Jia had a bad stomach, always missed meals on time, and often had no appetite. Jiang Huai enrolled her in a cooking class and studied for a long period of time. Then he cooked for Lin Jia every day, trying different ways to please Lin Jia's stomach.

Jiang Huai even took a third-level chef certificate later. He didn't cook normally because he was the only one eating, so there was no need to do so. But today, he could show off his cooking skills in front of Bai Cuiyun.

Watching Jiang Huai's smooth operation and control of the heat and cooking, Bai Cuiyun realized how much she didn't understand her son. Her son was really outstanding.

"Mom, let me cook! Today I'll let you taste my cooking skills."

Although he hadn't cooked for a long time, Jiang Huai found his touch after making some spicy and sour potato shreds.

Five dishes and one soup are served hot!
The door opened and Jiang Zewen and Jiang Yi came back.

Jiang Zewen didn't expect Jiang Huai to be at home, and he was stunned for a moment, especially after seeing the scar on Jiang Huai's head, he was speechless.
