Transmigrated as Cannon Fodder — I Rise to Female Lead Through Hard Work-Chapter 107: Now That’s a Kiss

"Old Lou, I..." Chen Youyi entered the office and saw someone sitting on the sofa with their back to the door, so he couldn’t call out as directly, "County Magistrate Lou, my hospital has already recruited..."

"Old Chen, alright, I’ve already got it arranged." Lou Chongshang said with a smile.

Yi Roujing and Ding Anguo stood up, looking at the person who walked into their view, full of surprise. The county was indeed small; you could run into acquaintances even in the county magistrate’s office.

"Mr. Yi?" Chen Youyi was startled to see Yi Roujing, and then finally understood why her name was so familiar, "You promised to come to my hospital, you’re not going to back out, right?"

"Of course not." Yi Roujing replied respectfully.

"You know each other?" Lou Chongshang was extremely curious.

Chen Youyi recounted the morning’s events. Lou Chongshang was relieved upon learning his friend’s precious son almost lost his life, and he congratulated his friend for recruiting a capable talent.

"No wonder Mr. Yi said they would give the job quota to family." Lou Chongshang now understood.

"County Magistrate Lou, then my brother-in-law..." Yi Roujing never expected such an incident; it turned out the job intended for her was actually at Mr. Chen’s hospital.

"You were personally recruited by Mr. Chen, it has nothing to do with the city. Mr. Ding, on behalf of the county government, I welcome your joining." Lou Chongshang extended his right hand to Ding Anguo, who was flattered and hurriedly stood up to shake with both hands.

Then Director Fang of the county government office came over to instruct Ding Anguo and Yi Roujing. According to the city’s documents, Director Fang asked Ding Anguo to prepare some materials, such as a high school diploma, a letter of introduction, household registration information, etc. The household registration needed to be transferred to the county in advance before salaries and subsidies could be issued. He asked him to submit all materials before the end of May, and once the approval for entry into the system went through, he could officially start working.

"Sister-in-law, it feels like a dream." After receiving all the instructions, Ding Anguo got a certificate issued by the county office, which he kept close to his heart in his shirt pocket, feeling a warm flush over his heart.

"Work hard." Yi Roujing patted Ding Anguo’s shoulder, "After starting the job, be flexible and establish good relationships with others, so you can also look out for jobs for Anmin and the others in the future."

Thinking of Ding Anmin, Ding Anguo exclaimed, "Sister-in-law, we’ve all come to the city, what about Anmin and Xingchen?"

"They should come too, even if it’s not a permanent position, working as a temporary worker is fine." Yi Roujing said, "Hey, this depends on your big brother."

Yi Roujing looked down and saw Ding Ancheng already sitting in the county government’s lobby.

"Big brother." Ding Anguo excitedly skipped three steps, suddenly reaching the bottom.

"Why are you so rash?" Ding Ancheng shot him a glare, but Ding Anguo was too excited to care.

"Big brother, I got a job, I got a job." Ding Anguo shouted excitedly.

"Calm down." Yi Roujing had a bit of a headache, but her words worked surprisingly well at that moment, and Ding Anguo suddenly quieted down.

"Let’s go to the guesthouse." Ding Ancheng said somewhat helplessly.

Of course, despite being told to calm down, Ding Anguo couldn’t restrain himself. As soon as they exited the county government doors, he started talking to Ding Ancheng, detailing everything without reservation, with Yi Roujing being the focal point all along.

Ding Ancheng hadn’t anticipated her saving someone again, but upon hearing something about mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, Yi Roujing clearly felt a surge of hostility. Naturally, the hostility was directed at others, but toward herself were awestruck glances, which were even harder to bear.

"Big brother, you’re back." Ding Anmin had been watching from the second-floor balcony and waved excitedly when she saw the three of them.

"What kind of rewards did you get? How much money?" As the three came upstairs, Ding Anmin’s eyes locked directly on Yi Roujing.

"Oh, I haven’t looked yet." Yi Roujing took out an envelope and gave it to Ding Anmin, "Go ahead, take a look."

Ding Anmin hurried into the room, carefully opened it, seeing two big banknotes, she exclaimed, "The city really outshines the commune, quadrupling the amount."

"That’s nothing, let me tell you, the important thing is..." Ding Anguo slowly walked in, starting to narrate his job situation once more.

Yi Roujing only wanted to roll her eyes and paused her steps. Although she didn’t want to listen again, this time it wasn’t her fault, it was Ding Ancheng who held her back.

"Let’s go to the next room." Ding Ancheng pulled her to the room he and Ding Anguo shared, closing and locking the door with a click.

"Shouldn’t we leave the door open?" Yi Roujing reminded, considering the atmosphere of the time, like when Ding Anguo went next door, he talked to Ding Anmin and Xia Xingchen with the room door wide open, to avoid suspicion.

"Do we need to?" Ding Ancheng stepped close to Yi Roujing until they were so near that they could feel each other’s breath.

"Well, we could close it." Even someone as dull as Yi Roujing realized Ding Ancheng was acting unusually; he clearly seemed upset now.

"What’s wrong with you?" Yi Roujing took a small step back, pretending to look innocent as she asked.

"You kissed someone else." Ding Ancheng approached, his eyes filled with accusation.

Yi Roujing’s mind was full of question marks; she kissed someone else? How hadn’t she known? "I didn’t!"

"Just now, Anguo said, and you want to deny it." Ding Ancheng frowned.

Just now, Ding Anguo said she kissed someone? Yi Roujing suddenly realized, "You misheard, it wasn’t a kiss, it was a rescue, I was doing mouth-to-mouth."

Ding Ancheng’s face grew even darker.

Yi Roujing found it somewhat amusing, "Hey, it was just an eight-year-old kid, what are you getting jealous about..."

An intense pressure suddenly enveloped her, fiercer than ever, as the biting continued, and Yi Roujing felt her lips were about to break, yet the man before her still wouldn’t let go.

"Ouch, that hurts." Yi Roujing murmured, and Ding Ancheng sighed, finally releasing her, and sat down on the bed with his back to her.

Yi Roujing suddenly felt a bit aggrieved, touched her swollen lips, glared at Ding Ancheng’s back several times, "You, you’re being unreasonable!"

"Yes." Ding Ancheng replied with a low chuckle, though it carried a hint of self-mockery, "Today you just saved a child like that, I wasn’t even on the scene and I was jealous. If in the future, it is a drowning man of similar age as me needing your help, I don’t know what I might do."

Yi Roujing was a bit incredulous, walked up to Ding Ancheng, and looked down at him, "Are you really jealous?"

Ding Ancheng looked up; Yi Roujing couldn’t find the words to describe his expression - it was so intense that it made her heart panic, yet it also seemed to carry a hint of sorrow. She never thought Ding Ancheng could wear such an expression; it made her heartache as he shouldn’t appear this way.

"Smooch—" Yi Roujing leaned down and impulsively kissed Ding Ancheng on the lips, a fleeting touch but it took all her courage.

"This, that was a kiss." Yi Roujing explained with a flushed face, "I was just rescuing someone, it’s different from a kiss."
