Jiang Qingchi woke up the next day. The unfamiliar ceiling and bed in front of him made him dazed for a few seconds.
Last night, he drank some wine while socializing, and then went to wait for a while in front of Mu Yanzhu's apartment. When she came back, he hugged her, said "I love you" in her ear, turned around and left.
On the way out, I met Chu Xiangchen.
He didn't want to talk to that kid, who had to come over shamelessly.
"I want to know why you broke up with your sister three years ago!"
"...Answer me, tell me!"
Just like that, it kept nagging in his ears.
He frowned impatiently, "What does it have to do with you brat?"
"Because I have to understand the ins and outs before I can accuse you unscrupulously!"
"What do you accuse me of?"
"I accuse you of being a heartless person! Three years ago, you were the one who didn't want her. This is fatal!"
"Who told you I don't want her?"
Jiang Qingchi's black eyes shone with a cold light like a blade, "There has never been a third party between us, and there has never been separation. There is only who compromises and who accepts. Do you understand?"
"I don't understand, I only know that you don't want her anymore!"
"I have nothing to say to you."
Jiang Qingchi's voice was cold and his expression was arrogant.
"Whenever you stand on the same level as me, you will accuse me again."
"Damn it, stop looking down on others! Our old Chu family won't lose to your old Jiang family, okay?"
“…”
Jiang Qingchi has no memory of what that damn boy did after that.
He was really a little drunk at the time, and the things in front of him became dizzy and blurred.
And then…
That’s the scene in front of you.
"you're awake."
The person who opened the door and came in was Chu Xiangchen. His skin was very white, and when illuminated by the morning sun, he looked as clean as a girl.
Jiang Qingchi glanced at him and rubbed his sore temples, "Am I drunk last night?"
"Ang, you are drunk in my arms."
"you wanna die?"
"It was obviously you who fell into my arms, did I say something wrong? I transported you to my home with good intentions, and you actually said that I was seeking death? Are you still a human being?"
"..." Jiang Qingchi said nothing, staring at Chu Xiangchen's eyes, which became a little complicated.
The boy in front of me is tall, thin, handsome, sunny and youthful.
Just like Jiang Qingchi three years ago.
Will look at his love rival with flamboyant disdain.
He will lose his temper immediately when he is unhappy and say "Are you still a human being?".
"Hey, why are you looking at me like that? I'm a straight man, and I have no interest in you!" Chu Xiangchen proudly lifted his bangs from his forehead.
Jiang Qingchi got up and got out of bed, ready to leave.
"Hey, hey, I took you in for one night, and you didn't even say thank you?"
"I won't say thank you to my love rival."
"Hehehehe, you are so arrogant. You don't understand why Sister Yanzhu likes you. I am obviously better tempered and more charming. Between us, no matter what happens, Sister has to choose me, okay?"
Chu Xiangchen stood there and talked to himself, while Jiang Qingchi had already reached the entrance.
When he was showing off his bad taste, the sound of the door slamming was particularly clear.
Chu Xiangchen pursed his lips.
"Don't worry, you're not as young as me, not as good-looking as me, not as good-tempered as me, and you can drag me away for 25,000 to 80,000 yuan. I don't know how my parents taught me, huh."
…
Jiang Qingchi's car was at the south intersection, and he had to walk two miles.
The cool breeze in the morning made his hair messy. He put one hand in his pocket, his eyes were a little obscure, and he was thinking about something sad.
Until the phone vibrated twice.
A picture of a young, energetic and energetic boy was posted openly.
Jiang Qingchi: "!!!"
Damn it—when did Chu Xiangchen add him on WeChat? !
"Brother, look at my face. Which one of us is younger? Who is more handsome? Who has more delicate features? Huh?"
“…”
Jiang Qingchi was so angry that he blocked this person.
After thinking about it, I was released from the blacklist.
He got in the car, started the car, and called Jiang Chunhe.
"Chun'er, buy me some perfume and lipstick. I want it for men. The perfume shouldn't be too strong. I want the lipstick that makes me look ten years younger when I put it on. And buy some cosmetics, the kind specially for pretty girls."
"Huh?" Jiang Chunhe's voice came quickly.
"What? Hurry up and buy it. I'm going home to get the goods now."
"You didn't take the wrong medicine, did you? My brother, you are naturally beautiful, charming, and beautiful, but you still use makeup?"
Jiang Qingchi was willing to hear this and curled up his lips.
"I'm so angry at being an asshole."
"Which one? Didn't you go after my sister-in-law?"
"Don't ask, asking is just because your sister-in-law is irritating."
"Oh, I guess it's not my sister-in-law who is irritating, but someone who is pretending to be aloof, right?"
Jiang Qingchi: "!!! You talk so much nonsense."
"I know, I won't say anything anymore. Just ask your godmother to get the cosmetics for you. Your godmother specializes in purchasing. Then I can do your makeup when you come back."
"Yeah. Hang up."
Jiang Qingchi turned the steering wheel left and the car turned onto the highway back to Ningcheng.
When they got home, Chunhe was at home, and Jiang Qingchi threw the photo of Chu Xiangchen over to show her.
"Give me the exact same makeup, no."
"Makeup that makes you look 100 times younger than him!"
Jiang Chunhe stared at the person in the photo with his eyes widened.
"This handsome guy looks familiar."
"you know?"
"I don't know him. He seems to be an Internet celebrity. He does live broadcasts and has a lot of fans."
"Sissy."
Jiang Chunhe: "..."
Then this person is now wearing sissy makeup. Isn’t it delicious
…
Jiang Chunhe began to put makeup on Jiang Qingchi.
Jiang Qingchi has two long eyebrows, neat eyebrows and thick black color. There is no need to trim the eyebrows or do extra outlines. They are already perfect there.
Those eyes are clear in black and white, and the double eyelids are just right. Together with the high bridge of the nose and thin lips, they are extremely handsome.
So Jiang Chunhe wandered around for a while, but couldn't find a good place to start. He simply gave Jiang Qingchi a base and painted his eyelids with earth-colored eyeshadow to make him look cooler.
"Brother, how long are you going to keep pretending? You are obviously not an aloof person."
"You care."
"Okay..." Jiang Chunhe was applying lipstick to Jiang Qingchi and sighed, "Actually, I think this woman needs stimulation. Love that flows slowly and slowly is not as good as stimulating her. It's like that in TV dramas."
"You know better."
Jiang Qingchi poked Jiang Chunhe's forehead.
Jiang Chunhe raised his hand to cover his head, pouting in a playful manner, "I'm teaching you the correct way to pick up girls!"
"Is the makeup done?"
"Ang, okay, can you look in the mirror?"
Jiang Qingchi's appearance in the mirror has not changed much. It may be due to psychological effects. He always feels that he is four or five years younger.
"Chun'er, do I look like an eighteenth-year-old boy?"
"You look like a sixteen-year-old brat!"
Jiang Qingchi was very satisfied with this. This was the effect he wanted.
Then drove away.
Jiang Chun subdued this man.
Traveling all the way back just to put on makeup? ?
…
At the subway station, Chu Xiangchen was doing a live broadcast.
There were so many fans today for some reason, and divers started to bubble up and ask Chu Xiangchen who the handsome guy behind him was.
handsome guy
Only then did Chu Xiangchen notice that Jiang Qingchi was standing diagonally behind him.
Isn't he the general manager? Why is he still taking the subway
"Hey, don't look at him, look at me, look at me, am I not handsome today?"
"Brother Xiao Chu, go and ask that handsome guy his name. He is so handsome!"
"Yes, yes, he is just like the man in the pictorial. He is so handsome. Brother Xiao Chu, please go get his contact information!"
"+1!"
"+10000!"
“…”
Chu Xiangchen: "..."
"What's going on with you guys? Didn't I come from a pictorial?"
"Brother Xiao Chu, don't be jealous, just go and ask."
Helpless, Chu Xiangchen could only walk over with a straight face and stood in front of Jiang Qingchi full of resentment. He didn't want to talk to him properly and let out angrily.
"Hey, my fan wants your contact information!"
"Oh? Are you here too? I didn't notice."
Jiang Qingchi smiled at the camera, just like an idol meeting his fans, and waved gently.
"Hi there."
"Ahhh!"
"Ahhhhh!"
“…”
Below is a group of idiots painting the screen.
Chu Xiangchen was so angry that he turned off his phone directly.
"Did you do it on purpose? Did you come to steal my limelight on purpose?"
"If you are more beautiful than me, do you still need me to rob you?"
"You - they are just used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, so seeing you with porridge and side dishes is just a novelty."
"Anyway, I won this time."
With a winner's smile on his lips, Jiang Qingchi got off the bus at the next stop and walked away proudly.
Chu Xiangchen put his hands on his hips and was so angry that he could only inhale, exhale, and exhale again.
How could such a person exist? I thought he was quite mature, but he turned out to be even more childish.
Oh buy, I’m going to piss him off, no, no, he can’t be angry, anger will cause wrinkles, age is his advantage now, he can’t lose.
absolute!
…
Mu Yanzhu got off work. There was a wine shop tonight and she needed to discuss cooperation with the operator. She went there by herself, without an assistant or staff.
She took a taxi, but there was traffic jam on the road, and she arrived at her destination five minutes late.
As the waiter came to the box and opened the door, he saw the man in the middle at first sight.
Startled.
Jiang Qingchi played with the wine glass with his left hand. His face was originally cold, but the moment he saw Mu Yanzhu, his eyebrows slowly softened, and a smile spread unconsciously from the corners of his mouth.
Mu Yanzhu frowned slightly. If she hadn't seen a familiar client, she would have thought she had entered the wrong room.
"Sorry for being late, I'll punish myself with a drink."
She was already familiar with such occasions. She walked in, picked up the wine in front of her, and drank one glass naturally.
She actually learned to drink.
Jiang Qingchi's smiling eyes suddenly turned cold, and he stared at her displeased.
"Chief Editor Mu, come sit here with me—"
The person who spoke was the old pervert from the publishing house last time, who was eyeing this opportunity.
Mu Yanzhu looked around, and now only the place next to Jiang Qingchi and the old pervert was empty.
She thought for a moment and sat next to the old pervert.
The other party smiled from ear to ear, looked at Mu Yanzhu with a squinting look, and kept praising her for her beauty.
Mu Yanzhu smiled and raised her hair: "President Fang made me feel embarrassed."
"Beauties are meant to be praised~ Come on, Editor-in-Chief Mu, and drink two more glasses of wine with me."
Mu Yanzhu picked up the second glass of wine with ease and drank it all in one gulp.
The old pervert seized the opportunity and gave Mu Yanzhu another drink.
Just waiting to get her drunk.
Mu Yanzhu was about to finish her third glass of wine—
"Honey, do you still drink when you're pregnant?"
That warm and low voice was half playful and half sulky.
The moment he finished speaking, the box that was bustling just now fell silent.
Not to mention Mu Yanzhu, that old pervert's face turned pale with fear.
Just now... What did Mr. Xiao Jiang say just now
"Stop losing your temper. Come sit with your husband and be good."
Mu Yanzhu: "..."
The looks from all directions were about to penetrate her.
"Honey, come quickly. My husband has been waiting for you for a long time."
Jiang Qingchi deliberately carried forward his shamelessness to the end.
Mu Yanzhu smiled apologetically with everyone: "Sorry, I'm a little bored. Let's go out and get some fresh air."
She got up and went out.
I thought Jiang Qingchi would come out too, so I could have a good talk with him and tell him to stop making trouble.
But after Mu Yanzhu waited for five minutes, Jiang Qingchi didn't come out.
Someone did it on purpose.
Knowing that she can't leave now and can only go back, she just sits there and waits, right
Mu Yanzhu took a deep breath, but had no choice but to pretend to have taken a breath and go back. As soon as she opened the door, she met Jiang Qingchi's eyes.
His smile never diminished, and he tilted his head slightly, as if he was drunk at dusk, like wine, even if he didn't drink.
Mu Yanzhu sat next to Jiang Qingchi and was held by his waist.
"Are you still bored now? Huh?"
"No, much better."
"That's good."
He held her chin and kissed her.
Several people nearby smiled and said that Jiang Qingchi doted on his wife.
"You must pamper them. All the men in the Jiang family dote on their wives. Do you still need me to explain this to you?"
"Hahaha-"
The whole room burst into laughter.
Mu Yanzhu could not laugh alone.
After the drinking party was over, everyone dispersed, leaving only Jiang Qingchi and Mu Yanzhu in the box.
She finally removed his big hand from around her waist.
"Is it fun?"
"What do you think?" Jiang Qingchi looked directly into her eyes, no longer naive, "Is socializing fun?"
"It's fun, socializing can make money, I like it."
"Did you know that the old man just wanted to get you drunk?"
"I know, I can handle it myself."
"Cope with it? What should you cope with? Drink with him until you get drunk, or drink until you vomit?"
"Can you leave me alone? Ex-boyfriend?"
Jiang Qingchi's heart hurt when her ex-boyfriend yelled.
"Actually, in my heart, we have never broken up."
Mu Yanzhu's heart ached, "In my heart, we broke up three years ago."
"Do you still care about me? This is what I'm asking you."
"Why don't you ask me if I still love you?" Mu Yanzhu half-smiled.
—
"I don't dare to ask, I'm afraid you'll say you don't love me."
“…”
Then she fell silent.
Then she turned her face sideways and said she didn't know.
Jiang Qingchi's eyes became calm.
"Do you know how beautiful you were the moment you walked in?"
“…”
"So beautiful that I felt like I fell in love at first sight. When I looked at you, I thought, you must be mine. Then we looked at each other and smiled like this. We are old, have children and grandchildren, and have been like this for the rest of our lives. It’s over, it’s good.”
But fantasy is just fantasy after all.
Jiang Qingchi stood up.
Standing down from a high position, his eyes were like two pools of water, gleaming as he stared at the woman in front of him.
"I'm leaving. If you wanted me to stay, I would hold you right now."
Mu Yanzhu: "Let's go."
He laughed to himself.
"Am I really gone? Maybe you will never see me again."
"The best thing is to go back to your Ningcheng. That is your world."
"The world? Everything I do now is for a better future for us, but you just want to push me further and further away. It seems that I am overthinking and will never fulfill your wishes."
The moment Jiang Qingchi left, Mu Yanzhu's eyelids jumped suddenly.
It's the right eyelid that's twitching.
