Under the clouds

Chapter 1

When Zanglanbai watered the flowers and plants on the balcony at home three times in one afternoon on a sunny weekend, the computer on the living room desktop made a "ding" sound, which was a new message .

Zang Lanbai finally put down the kettle in his hand and moved to the computer screen. He saw that it was an invitation from a winery for a wine tasting exhibition.

It has been more than a month since he returned to S City from the mental health care center. During this time, apart from raising flowers in this new apartment building, Zang Lanbai has nothing to do, thinking about recipes, cooking, and playing the piano in his spare time. Other than that there is nothing else.

After all, few people know about his return. He didn't say anything or notify his former friends. They probably still thought he was recuperating abroad.

This inexplicable invitation is a bit...

Before Zang Lanbai could think for a moment, his cell phone rang.It was a call from his aunt.

His aunt went to pick up the plane when he came back, and she was one of the few people who knew that Zang Lanbai had returned.

"Hello, aunt?"

"Well, I got it."

"It turned out to be your arrangement, let me tell you." Zang Lanbai said with a soft smile in his tone, "Okay, I have time, even if I don't, as long as my aunt wants something, I will spare the time I will also help to take pictures for my aunt."

Zang Lanbai seemed to be able to make people happy with words like this, and Zang Qingyue laughed when she finished speaking. She said, "Abo is the best at pleasing people."

That's how things were settled.

Zang Lanbai has been abroad for medical treatment for the past two or three years. Not long after he came back, the apartment building is a new house arranged by his aunt, and he has no clothes for formal occasions. After all, he has not gone out to participate in any activities since he came back. .

The wine tasting event is scheduled for tonight. The time is a bit rushed, and Zang Lanbai has no time to customize it. It would be a bit troublesome for him to buy it now. Finally, after hesitating for a moment, he chose a set of dark casual clothes. It looks very casual and comfortable.

Before going out at night, he used a rubber band to tie up his loose black hair behind him, and then put on a black hat.

When Zang Lanbai went downstairs, he saw that the driver arranged by his aunt was already waiting for him. Seeing Zang Lanbai's outfit, the driver hesitated when he opened the door for him, but in the end he didn't say anything.

Zang Lanbai got into the car, and the car drove steadily into the street. After more than 40 minutes, they came to a winery standing in the outer suburbs. The whole estate covers a very large area. At the parking spot, Zang Lanbai got out of the car and saw the European-style castle-style architecture of the manor.

Zang Lanbai has been away from City S for too long. He was wearing a black hat and dark casual clothes. Before entering the door, I was stopped by the waiter at the door and showed the invitation letter before entering.

Zang Lanbai looked at the brightly lit and magnificent reception hall, but he didn't see any familiar faces all the way. He had been away from the upper circles of S City for too long.

Now that the time is up, he also feels a little hungry. Instead of chatting with the crowd wearing luxury brand evening gowns or high-end clothing, he finds a corner that is not very eye-catching, holding a glass of red wine and holding a long bag. The exquisite snacks on the table were eaten bit by bit.

After Zang Lanbai turned around several long tables with different dishes, and he was full after eating [-]% full and red wine filled the [-]% full, he began to feel drowsy.

No way, since he came back, his work and rest have become very regular and healthy, and this time has exceeded the time he should be sleeping.

Fortunately, today's banquet finally got to the point before he really almost fell asleep.

Some guests who were not distinguished official members of the winery had left early at this time, and the rest of the official members participating in the winery auction were led by the waiters into the elevator to the basement floor of the winery.

Zang Lanbai could only force himself to cheer up, and secretly prayed in his heart that the vase his aunt wanted would be at the front, so that he could leave the venue early after he photographed it early.

Zang Lanbai found a seat at the back and sat down before the official start of the auction. After the host warmed up the scene, the auction officially started.

It seems that Zang Lanbai's inner prayer has not been heard, and the vase Zang Qingyue wanted has not appeared until very late.

It was already 01:30 in the morning, and the previous collections were photographed by some people one after another. Zang Lanbai listened to their transaction prices, and secretly estimated whether the money Zang Qingyue sent to him would not be enough.

When the celadon glazed vase finally arrived, the auction was drawing to a close. Zang Lanbai held up the price tag in his hand. Sure enough, many people were waiting for the vase in Zang Qingyue's face. Zang Lanbai added four The second price was won at a price nearly three times higher than the starting price.

Zang Lanbai breathed out a breath when he reached this point, and just as he was about to get up and leave early, the red curtain suddenly came down on the auction stage.

Is it over?Zang Lanbai stood up, but he didn't expect this vase to be the final product...

Just when he had reached the exit of the auction house, the red curtain was pulled up, revealing that in the golden half-person-high birdcage, he was kneeling on the ground naked, only wrapped in a black cloth that could not cover his body. Beautiful youth in silk.

His bare skin glowed like porcelain under the bright light, and there was no flaw in his face, beautiful almond eyes, thick and curly eyelashes that fell down on the lower eyelid when the eyelids were drooping Darker in shade, with a redder-than-average lip, and round his neck he wore a black collar with gold chains attached to the top of the golden cage.

Zang Lanbai stopped in his tracks, and at the same time heard the silence in the auction house for a moment, and soon there was an uncontrollable discussion.

Several merchant owners who looked like they were worth a lot of money raised their price tags.

Zang Lanbai looked at the strange and familiar face on the stage, as if he was caught in some memory. When the host on the stage had already started to count the transaction price, before shouting for the third time, Zang Lanbai used two double the price, and got the chance to spend the night with the beautiful young man on stage.

Zang Lanbai came to the bathroom, turned on the tap, picked up cold water and washed his face.

At this time, two people came out of the bathroom cubicle, more than one meter away from Zanglanbai.

Amidst the splashing water, Zang Lanbai heard their voices mixed with unkind laughter.

"That one's current overnight price has fallen sharply. It must be half of the starting price three months ago."

"Hahaha, you don't know him yet. I heard that the problem here is here again." The man took out a cigarette from his pocket, dropped one into his mouth, and pointed to his head with the other finger: "Last time Yue beat the boss of Jin's Pharmaceuticals on the bed with a bedside lamp, and his head was broken, it didn't mean that he was paid back in less than three months."

"Although the appearance is high-quality, but he is not young after all, and he has a mental illness from time to time, and some people start to think it is bad luck. Don't pay attention to his madness again. If it is not like this, what is the price? It may fall to this level..."

"The one who is so sick still puts him up for sale, and he is not afraid that something will happen to him. Who is taking advantage of him today?"

"The brim of the hat is so low that I can't see it clearly."

After the two men went out muttering all the way, Zang Lanbai turned on the faucet. At this time, his hands were already cold by the water.

Zang Lanbai came to the No.11 floor of the winery. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, a waiter was waiting for him and handed him a room card in the style of metal hollowing and carving.

Zang Lanbai walked to the door of the room and opened the door with his room card.

Pushing the door open, Zang Lanbai lowered his head and saw a beautiful young man with naked body kneeling on the ground near the entrance.

When the other party raised his eyes and looked over, Zang Lanbai closed the door of the room with a half body, and the sound of the door being locked automatically sounded. He turned and walked towards the other party, then reached out and took off the black hat.

A stunning and handsome face was completely revealed, Zang Lanbai's hair in front of his forehead was not gathered, and a strand of hair was scattered in front of his eyes. He flicked it with his hand, and then showed a bright smile.

He said, "Long time no see, do you remember me?"

The puppy number 00397 was distracted by the man's overly aggressive appearance. After a brief daze, he looked at the man with indescribable eager anticipation, and for some reason became a little panicked.

He doesn't remember this guest at all. 00397's recent memory is always messed up, and there will be some mistakes. Maybe he has received him before, but after careful searching, it seems that he can't recall the memory of the man in front of him, but logically speaking, such an extraordinary appearance, Even if 00397 has received many guests, he should be deeply impressed by this person, but no, 00397 can't remember anything.

Zang Lanbai read the answer he didn't want in the blank look of the other party, and he sighed with some disappointment: "Well, you don't seem to remember me."

Facing the disappointment of the guest, 00397 replied in a panic: "I remember...I remember."

"Oh? Then who am I?" Zang Lanbai squatted down and met the kneeling 00397.

"You are...you are the owner of the puppy." 00397 knelt and crawled close to Zang Lanbai, and rubbed the back of Zang Lanbai's hand with a flattering face.

This is a very flattering answer. Zang Lanbai knew that he didn't remember himself, but he didn't intend to make things difficult. Looking at the man who had been kneeling here for an unknown how long, he reached out to pick him up from the ground and walked to the bed let go.

00397 lay down softly following Zang Lanbai's strength, and opened his legs towards Zang Lanbai. Zang Lanbai seemed a little surprised, and then said: "I'll take a bath first."
