Chapter 74
It's okay if I didn't ask, but I didn't get the answer I wanted, and Cai Ying's small face turned into a bitter gourd.
"Oh, you don't understand the feeling of disappointment after expectation." Seeing the smile on Xu Jinman's face, Cai Ying pretended to be fierce and said.
"I didn't laugh at you." Xu Jinman said: "If this time doesn't work, there will be a next time. The future is long, so what's the rush?"
"That's right, in the future, Fang Chang." Tong Jia nodded: "It's really impossible without a companion, my sister will accompany you tomorrow."
Tong Jia's pause is very subtle, basically everyone can see the extent to which she is driving.
This is also because of Cai Ying's presence.
If only Xu Jinman was there, the speed of the car probably wouldn't even be able to accommodate her.
Cai Ying hadn't been completely poisoned by Tong Jia's thoughts, her mind was only on the second half of the sentence, and she was immediately moved and hugged her.
The two patted each other on the back, calling them sisters and sisters, and each of them clinked glasses with a can of wine when they were happy.
The meal took over an hour and it wasn't over yet.
Most of the time it was Tong Jia and Cai Ying who were chatting. Both of them were good drinkers and loved to drink.The biggest thing in common is that they talk more after drinking.
Shen Shu stood up, turned her head and walked towards the bedroom.
Xu Jinman glanced back, and then followed.
There was no light in the room, only a cool light from the balcony, the street lights outside the white glass windows outside the balcony were dim, and the room on the opposite floor was starry.
Occasionally, there are voices, cars, and wind.
There is always a kind of tranquility in life during this time period.
Xu Jinman stood at the door of the balcony, watching Shen Shu take off the clothes from the hanger, and also went forward to collect them.
The texture of Shen Shu's strawberry pajamas is very soft, so that she can feel comfortable wearing it on her face.
Shen Shu didn't speak, she passed Xu Jinman with other clothes and walked into the room, but was grabbed by Xu Jinman and pulled to her front.
"Womanly."
Xu Jinman lowered his head slightly to see Shen Shu's expression, but was pushed away by Shen Shu: "What are you doing?"
If Shen Shu didn't add the final particle, Xu Jinman would think she was really angry.
The sound of 'Yah' was sent from her ears to the apex of her heart.
Xu Jinman let go of her hand, without holding her back, let Shen Shu walk past her, and dragged the set of pajamas in her hand along with her.
Xu Jinman stared at the back of the person entering the door, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked.
Anyway, after Cai Ying and Tong Jia left, they could chat.
Cai Ying said at the beginning that she would go back tonight.
pity.
There is no credibility in the words that come out of people's mouths.
Cai Ying wiped her yawning tears and bid farewell to Tong Jia: "Dear Jiajia, goodbye! Be careful on the road, don't talk to strangers casually! Remember to tell me when you get home!"
Tong Jia: "Dear little sister Cai, goodbye! You actually want to be a light bulb. Sister, I never thought, don't just break into your wife's room! I will definitely tell you when I get home!"
Xu Jinman: "...you two go together."
Tong Jia turned back when she stepped out of the door, and said to Cai Ying, "Look, Xiao Cai, everyone has chased you away."
"Okay, don't play tricks." Xu Jinman went out with others: "vio is nearby and hasn't left yet, just in time to take you back."
After sending the person to the elevator, Xu Jinman turned and went back to the room.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Cai Ying buried in Shen Shu's arms: "It's still soft in my Shu Bao's arms."
Xu Jinman stared at that: "..."
For the first time, I wanted to take someone out.
But also just to think about it.
Everyone could tell tonight that Cai Ying talked too much, but there was nothing wrong with her mood. She probably just needed to talk to someone.
That's why Shen Shu left him behind.
Shen Shu and Cai Ying have been together for a long time and know when the other party needs her.
Xu Jinman took out his mobile phone and sent a message to vio, informing Tong Jia that he had gone downstairs.
Originally, she planned to let Vio go upstairs to eat together tonight, and when the time came, she would send Cai Ying and Tong Jia back together, but Vio declined.
She didn't say anything.
this head.
Tong Jia walked out of the apartment, the wind blowing on her head, which was a little hot after drinking, immediately refreshed a lot.
Seeing the rolled down windows of the white car in the distance, he waved to the people inside, walked over and put his hands on the door frame: "Hi, Mr. Vio, the model worker, you have worked hard today."
Vio laughed and said, "It's not hard, Ms. Tong, let's get in the car."
Tong Jia sat in the co-pilot and started the car. Vio asked, "Is Miss Tong good at drinking?"
"It's okay, anyway, it's better than your boss Xu in this respect." Tong Jia said quickly.
Vio looked at the night road ahead, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, he didn't answer, but he didn't deny it either.
Seeing this, Tong Jia smiled happily: "I'm sorry to talk about your boss behind your back, right? I understand, I understand, needless to say, we all understand in our hearts."
Vio laughed, and asked after a few seconds, "Do you want some water?"
Tong Jia shook her head: "I drink to quench my thirst. Secretary V, can you drink it? I'll let you see it next time I have a chance."
"Okay." Vio responded readily.
Tong Jia heard the words and looked towards the cab.
Vio's side profile is very three-dimensional, like a sharp cut, but very beautiful, and the whole person's temperament is very capable.
Gives a simple feeling.
This can be seen from vio's work, which is unabashed and crisp.
Tong Jia looked at it, her eyes lowered.
The chestnut curly hair is in front of the professional suit, and the shirt inside the suit is not so tight. Alpha's breasts are mostly smaller than Omega's, and vio is just right.
Suddenly, vio turned his head to the side, and Tong Jia blinked and raised his eyes, pretending that his eyes just passed by unintentionally.
vio: "Miss Tong."
Tong Jia: "Huh?"
Vio: "You haven't told me where you live yet."
"Oh, I live..."
After Tong Jia reported her address, probably because she was a little drunk, or maybe she was a little sleepy, she leaned against the window and closed her eyes.
Soon fell asleep.
And then... soon sober again.
She dreamed of Jory.
On a snowy day, fluffy snow falls on the body like a field of pure flowers.
She gave Jory food because of a girl, and Jory took it. She and Jory got into an awkward situation, and she was so angry that she didn't eat for a whole day.
Qiao Rui called and asked someone to explain to her, but she didn't listen.
Later that night, Jory bought a bouquet of red roses and took them downstairs in her dormitory.
The red roses are reflected on the white snow, so dazzling that they can melt the whole winter.
When the picture turned, she saw Qiao Rui hugging another woman on the bed, smiling at her, and the woman in Qiao Rui's arms said to her, "Tong Jia, you've been so ridiculous for so many years."
She was out of breath, and when she wanted to step forward and tear people apart, she woke up.
Tong Jia's breathing fluctuated a little anxiously, and the next second, the car window was lowered, and the cool wind blew across his face, blowing away most of the anger in the dream.
It's kind of ridiculous.
She could still think of Jory, even dream about it.
In fact, this is not the first time she has dreamed about Jory, most of the time she is in pain in the dream, or wakes up from anger.Just like that.
Sometimes she would dream of sweet things, and this kind of dream would make her feel more uncomfortable every time she woke up.
Being betrayed is not the most painful thing. After being betrayed, you cannot easily dig out the shadow deep in your heart, which is the most painful.
Cai Ying said that this is like a cancer, it is impossible to completely dig it out, there will always be traces.
But it can divert attention, and after a long time you forget its existence.
She asked, how to divert attention.
Cai Ying shook the bracelet on her wrist and said with a smile, "Let's find someone else to fall in love with."
Tong Jia agrees, but although she can let go, only Qiao Rui has emotional experience.
She also tried to meet new people, but she basically felt resistance when she first met them.
Sometimes what you want isn't that easy, especially on the inside.
Because you can't control it.
Hate originally also exists in emotion.
Tong Jia leaned her head against the car window, thinking about it, and suddenly heard a woman's clear voice: "Miss Tong, do you eat chocolate?"
Tong Jia turned her head and said slowly, "Huh?"
Vio smiled and said nothing, the car stopped slowly at the intersection of traffic lights, took out a chocolate from his suit pocket and handed it over.
Nine p.m.
The night sky was gray and the weather forecast called for rain again in the early morning.
When Cai Ying went to take a bath, Shen Shu brought in the rose flowers from the balcony.
When Xu Jinman arrived at the bedroom, Shen Shu was entering the door from the balcony, glanced at her, and opened the closet to get her pajamas.
Xu Jinman took a step forward and asked in a low voice, "Are you sleeping with Cai Ying at night?"
Shen Shu glanced at her and said softly, "Well, this way you can go to bed earlier."
Don't stay up until she falls asleep before going to bed.
Xu Jinman: "..."
She did avoid getting too close these two days, but the matter of going to bed at night was really unfair.Xu Jinman thought about it, but Shen Shu has been fine for the past two days, and the problem still lies in the voice at noon.
Xu Jinman said: "I really don't know the one who added WeChat. It's just a little girl I met in the restaurant."
As soon as the words fell, Shen Shu felt that Shen Shu looked at her with cold eyes.
"It's still Teacher Xu who is charming, and girls like him wherever he goes."
Xu Jinman: "..."
The focus is a bit too much.
At this time, Cai Ying's voice came out from the bathroom.
Shen Shu withdrew her gaze and didn't say anything else, she held her pajamas in her hands and was about to go out.
At this time, Xu Jinman stepped slightly sideways, raised his legs, and gently pushed the person forward with his slippers.
Without any effort, the open door closed halfway.
Only a small light was turned on in the bedroom, and the light in the living room was brighter, and more than half of it came in through half of the door.
Xu Jinman stood in the shadows, and Shen Shu stood in the light.
Xu Jinman took another step, as if crossing the boundary line, and quickly lowered his head to kiss Shen Shu's lips.
He said in a low voice: "How can I be so recruiting?"
Shen Shu was stunned for two seconds, and when she looked up, Xu Jinman had already opened the door and went out.
The warm and cool touch of the lips is familiar yet a little strange.
Shen Shu pursed her lips. In fact, they hadn't been close since that night.
Xu Jinman is always very restrained, and seems to be scrupulous about this aspect, worried about something.
In addition, both of them are very busy recently. She is because of the intense shooting, and Xu Jinman has a lot of things because the live broadcast platform has become popular.
Leaving early and returning late, most of them only meet in the middle of the night.
Especially recently, she often saw Xu Jinman go to bed when she was in a drowsy sleep.
Therefore, during this period of time, the number of times they got close was very small, and they never did that kind of thing again.
It was clearly just a superficial kiss, but it inexplicably touched the string in Shen Shu's heart.Like the surface of the lake being gently brushed by the transparent wings, causing ripples.
At 10:30, Shen Shu and Cai Ying were lying on the bed chatting.
Cai Ying talked about getting along with Han Ling.
"She is really amazing. She feels like the kind of person who can easily do everything well. She understands everything. She is a bit like Xu Jinman...that is, she knows no matter what she says. She is also very good to me, but there are Sometimes it's a bit hard to see through, I don't know what she is thinking."
Cai Ying sighed: "Especially the two times we met, she was in a bad mood and didn't tell me why. I was very sad."
Shen Shu turned sideways and asked, "Do you like her very much?"
Cai Ying thought for a while, nodded and said, "I really like it."
"In the beginning, I just wanted to forget the past, not just for fun, but to enter a new relationship. Then I found that Mr. Han is very powerful, very good, I should say very good." When Cai Ying talked about Han Ling, There was natural joy in the voice: "The most important thing is that she is very beautiful, especially those eyes are simply amazing."
Shen Shu was provoked by these words. The person who was a little sad just now still couldn't hide the little girl's heart.
"Womanly."
"Ok?"
"Ms. Han's pheromone smells really good."
"..."
Shen Shu opened her mouth, and before she could ask, Cai Ying took the initiative and said, "We haven't done anything but... kissed many times."
The tail sound is a bit low, and I am smiling.
I'm not very embarrassed.
"Ang, anyway, you just need to protect yourself."
"Uh-huh."
The two chatted for a while.
"I'm so sleepy, let's go to bed." Cai Ying yawned when she heard the soft voice outside the door: "What is Xu Jinman doing outside?"
It was nearly twelve o'clock.
The lights in the living room are brighter than those in the house.
The sofa is very fast, and it can sleep the width of two people when lying flat. It is very soft. Xu Jinman is used to working on the sofa.
After looking at the computer for a while, I felt that there was no taste in my mouth, and there was nothing to soak in water, so I turned my eyes to the coffee table.
After removing the cover of the coffee table, I found that there were many more things she liked to eat inside, such as dried mangoes, some bread with the latest date, and a small packet of assorted fruit candies.
It was the kind that Little Crescent Moon secretly stuffed for her last time.
I found a mint in it.
Xu Jinman bit into his mouth, it wasn't particularly cold, and the sweetness was moderate.
As soon as he ate, he saw the door of Shen Shu's bedroom open.
Shen Shu looked at her, and glanced at the things in her hand: "Are you hungry?"
"There's no taste in your mouth." Xu Jinman pointed his chin towards the bedroom: "Is Cai Ying asleep?"
"Ah."
Cai Ying doesn't stay up very late, and she gets sleepy after talking for a while.
Shen Shu went to the bathroom and came out again, when she heard Xu Jinman calling her in a low voice.
Shen Shu walked to the side of the sofa, the sofa cushions had a new color, the light green edge was hung with small white lace, very refreshing color.
Xu Jinman bought it.
Originally, Cai Ying stayed tonight, and she planned to find time to talk to Shen Shu, but when she saw Shen Shu coming out, she didn't want to delay any longer.
"I haven't shown you what Chen Yue brought back last time." Xu Jinman grabbed Shen Shu's hand and pulled her to sit beside her.
Swipe open the phone to find the file, and click on the photo from inside.
Xu Jinman's expression was very solemn, she didn't know if it was Shen Shu's illusion, but she saw a trace of nervousness.She rarely saw such emotion on Xu Jinman's face.
He took it suspiciously.
She didn't understand it at first, but when she saw Lu Yun's message below, she felt as if cold water had been poured all over her head, and her blood was cold.
Lu Yun, the matching degree is 95%.
(Note: The surname Xu is a close relative within three generations.)
Xu Jinman told her more or less about some things about the Xu family, from the box, the domestic violence, the medicine powder, the small town in Qucheng, etc., nothing was trivial.
But nothing was more shocking than the photo she saw now.
next of kin.
There is no doubt about what it means to Xu Jinman.
Shen Shu's fingertips that were gripping the phone lost all color as she was exerting force.
She endured the trembling, even sliding to the second one seemed to require endless strength.
The second photo.
Her vision has blurred.
With a 'click', hot water droplets hit the phone screen.
Xu Jinman's heart trembled violently, and he quickly reached out to hold Shen Shu's face, and rubbed his fingertips on those eyes and cheeks, panicked: "Don't cry."
Shen Shu's eyes were red, tears were rolling down Xu Jinman's face, unable to speak a word.
She pulled Xu Jinman's tear-wiping hand and threw herself into Xu Jinman's arms.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Xu Jinman was dumb, she didn't expect that Shen Shu would cry, she would cry so hard, she was in a mess.
He could only coax repeatedly, one sound lower than the other: "Don't cry, Shushu."
She cried to death.
"Xu Jinman." Shen Shu subconsciously called Xu Jinman's name, but said nothing.
Only then did she know that Xu Jinman was under so much pressure.
Is it because of this that you have been worried that it will hurt her?The nervousness just now may have an element of fear of her mind.
Shen Shu seldom cried, and almost never cried uncontrollably in the past few years, not even in the parking lot last time.
She just couldn't help it, just thinking of what Xu Jinman had experienced and such a life experience, she felt like a glass bottle smashed on the ground.
Why is this world so unfair, why so many things have to happen to one person.
Xu Jinman hugged the person and patted his back, comforting him again and again.
Their voices were very restrained, for fear of waking Cai Ying up.
Xu Jinman thought for a moment, why didn't he think of going to the room to see it just now.
This cry made her want to say what she wanted to say, but she didn't know whether she should say it or not.After thinking for a while, Xu Jinman still felt that he should say it.
"Shushu, I may have other problems in the future, such as physical and mental..." Before she finished speaking, Shen Shu's hand around her neck suddenly let go and turned back.
His facial features, as beautiful as a crown of jade, seemed to be covered by mist at this moment, his eyes were red and watery, and the tip of his nose and cheeks were like freshly ripened peaches.
Shen Shu's eyes looked straight at her, and there was still water in the eye sockets.
Xu Jinman could only temporarily shift the topic slightly: "I haven't cried yet, why are you crying like this? Shouldn't you comfort me first?"
"Xu Jinman."
"Ok?"
Xu Jinman's voice was a little hoarse when she provoked her, and the smile on his face was slightly restrained.
Shen Shu: "I comfort you."
After she finished speaking, she leaned forward and gently kissed the corner of Xu Jinman's mouth.
Just back away.
He didn't leave completely, but his forehead was pressed against Xu Jinman's, and his breathing intertwined with each other, like fabric twisted together in a dyeing vat, producing amazing colors in the chaos.
Xu Jinman's eyes were deep, and she went back to the past without saying a word, straightforward and gentle.
It was inconvenient to turn sideways, so Xu Jinman grabbed Shen Shu's leg|bend, put her right knee on the sofa beside her, and Shen Shu's height immediately exceeded her head by half of her head.
Xu Jinman could only raise his head, from attack to acceptance.
Shen Shu hugged Xu Jinman's neck, and saw Xu Jinman's slightly closed eyes from the curled eyelashes between her lowered eyebrows. Her head was empty, as if it had been dazzled by the morning dew.
Knowing that there were other people in the room, they deliberately suppressed their breathing, but they still gradually fell down on the sofa.
Even this kind of environment added a sense of excitement to their behavior.
Like two thieves stealing food.
When the water stained the carotid artery, Xu Jinman still separated the people and stood up straight again.
She was nervous and said hoarsely, "Shu Shu, Cai Ying is still here."
There was also peppermint on her breath.
A few strands of cool wind came in from the balcony window, slightly dissipating the heat from Shen Shu's body, but the rosiness on her face was still there.She held Xu Jinman's shoulders with her hands: "Is it fine if you're not here?"
Shen Shu's lips and mouth also had the coolness of mint.
The voice was very low, and Xu Jinman's mind was disturbed when he heard it, and he had an impulse for a moment - don't care about anything.
Fuck his stress disorder.
But reason still slapped her back.
'hiss--'
"Poke me again?" Although Xu Jinman questioned, there was a smile in the corner of his eyes.
Shen Shu was not angry, now she knew the reason for Xu Jinman's restraint, as well as the reason for Xu Jinman's pressure and worry.
This kind of thing is very painful and broken for anyone.
She thought that Xu Jinman needed some time to adapt.
Xu Jinman would also know that she didn't care about these things.
"Go wash your face and go to bed?" Xu Jinman raised his hand and wiped Shen Shu's eyelashes.
Shen Shu responded, and suddenly asked: "What does that little girl look like?"
Xu Jinman was taken aback by the sudden question: "Huh? Oh, with a ponytail, she looks quite small. I think she is a student in college."
"Oh, student, no wonder..."
"what?"
"Call me little girl."
Xu Jinman: "..." I've been messing around for a long time, is it because of this title?
Xu Jinman laughed, but held back seeing Shen Shu's expression, and said, "Isn't that what children call themselves?"
Shen Shu ignored her, remembering that there was another one that she hadn't finished reading just now: "What is the other one?"
Hearing this, Xu Jinman turned on the phone to Shen Shu, and roughly said his guess: "This may involve a wide range, and I'm still investigating."
These children are about the same age as she and Shen Shu.
"That X4 is the same age as you."
Not only the age, but also the date of birth is the same.
But because the code names are difficult, we can only start with Lu Yun's one.
And not rashly, it doesn't matter if she is alone, with Shen Shu around, she must be more cautious.
Shen Shu zoomed in on the photo with her fingertips, and her eyes stopped on several code names.
X1, X2, X2...X4.
Shen Shu looked at the X4 and the 1121 at the back, and suddenly there was a 'buzz' sound, and there was a burst of intense tinnitus in her ears.
Like something is about to burst from the depths of memory.
At that moment, she felt very uncomfortable.
Xu Jinman quickly noticed Shen Shu's reaction: "What's wrong?"
Shen Shu frowned, and took a long breath, as if breathing through the water, she slowly shook her head: "It's okay, maybe it's like seeing a birthday, a little uncomfortable."
Xu Jinman took the phone away, and she felt the same way when she saw it, subconsciously resisting that thought.
She didn't want this thing to have any relationship with Shen Shu.
It's one o'clock in the morning.
This night, Shen Shu and Xu Jinman slept in the guest bedroom.
When Cai Ying got up in the morning, she didn't see anyone around her, so she quit.
He yelled at Xu Jinman for kidnapping people in the middle of the night and blackmailing him for a luxurious meal at noon before giving up.
Of course, it's just the surface.
The wechat group spared no effort to exaggerate the fact that Shen Shu slept with her last night.
On the way to attend the Chen family's birthday party in the evening.
Cai Ying and Tong Jia are still chatting in the group.
Cai Ying: [@少嘉嘎, married girlfriends, splashed water, sweet talk before going to bed, wake up empty. 】
Tong Jia: [@蔡颖呵, let you go with me, you insist on staying as a dog. 】
Cai Ying: [...Wang. 】
Tong Jia: [Hahahahahahaha, Xiao Cai, why are you so cute, my sister declares you! 】
Cai Ying: 【My sister has a girlfriend, thank you for the invitation. 】
Tong Jia: [... Heh. 】
Tong Jia: [As the group leader, please take a look at your group name, thank you. 】
In the next second, Cai Ying changed the group name to 'this group is allowed to show affection'
Tong Jia: […]
Xu Jinman looked amused in the car, and posted: [@蔡颖We'll be there soon. 】
Cai Ying: [I'm here, waiting for you inside. 】
Cai Ying: 【Hurry up, I'm so lonely if Jiajia doesn't come. 】
Tong Jia: [I'm having dinner with a director here, and I really can't let it go. When the time comes, you will pull Shushu and let Mr. Xu follow behind. How energetic! 】
Cai Ying: [It makes sense! 】
Xu Jinman turned his head and said, "It's a pair of real treasures."
Seeing Shen Shu turn off her phone, she squinted her eyes: "Is your eyes uncomfortable?"
Shen Shu: "Well, it's a little sour."
I have been sleeping late for the past few days, and I cried for a while last night, and I woke up a little swollen in the morning. Today, the filming scenes were moved to the afternoon.Fortunately, the director didn't say anything today.
Xu Jinman said, "Squint for a while."
Shen Shu leaned on Xu Jinman's shoulder, closed her eyes and rested.
Xu Jinman glanced over his shoulder, then returned to look at the news on his mobile phone, and rarely clicked on Chen Bo's 'fishing' group.
There are several messages about Aite in it.
Chen Bo: [@徐晋曼曼姐, when will you arrive? 】
Han Fu: [@徐晋曼 ahhh, my Manman, I haven't seen you for a long time!Miss you! 】
Others are almost the same.
About an hour ago.
She didn't reply. Chen Bo had called her just now and said he would pick her up at the door.
When he was about to close the message box, he suddenly saw Chen Bo send a sentence.
[@韩文芳 Fuck, that sister of yours is married to the daughter of the He family?Everyone brought it? 】
【image】
Xu Jinman didn't click on it, and probably recognized Han Wenling in the picture, with a woman in a white dress holding her hand beside her.
Han Wenfang: [Who knows. 】
Xu Jinman didn't pay much attention to it. Marriage is more normal in the circle than eating.
Five minutes later, the car stopped outside the five-star hotel, a hotel invested by Chen.
With a resplendent appearance and a luxurious atmosphere, it is a little more gorgeous than the average five-star hotel.
As soon as she got out of the car, Shen Shu was knocked by Cai Ying's WeChat.
Ask them if they have arrived.
Shen Shu: [It's at the door. 】
Here.
Seeing Shen Shu's reply, Cai Ying finally recovered from her sluggish spirit. She has always disliked this kind of banquet, and it was because she hadn't come out with Shen Shu for a long time, so she became interested.
Facts have proved that she is still facing the computer at home, or going to the beach or cleaning the bar is more interesting than here.
Cai Ying was wearing a lilac dress, showing her fair and skinny ankles, with silver high-heeled shoes underneath, and her mixed-race appearance, she looked like a princess from the Western world.
It attracted the attention of many people.
Cai Ying politely declined a few accosts, and took a few steps outside, ready to find Shen Shu and Xu Jinman.
His sight flashed by, and the high-heeled shoes that were walking suddenly stopped on the carpet.
Cai Ying turned her missing gaze back, and vaguely saw a familiar figure in the crowd not far away.
