117:
"No, Uncle Qi." Jiang Mian refused with a smile, "I'm not cold."
Qi Yanshu said seriously: "If you don't want to go to the mall, you can give me your measurements and I'll ask someone from the mall to deliver them."
Jiang Mian thought: Then I might as well go back to the room and get it.
As if he knew what Jiang Mian was thinking, Qi Yanshu said to Luo Jiale, "Let's go."
Then he changed the topic directly: "How was filming?"
"It's okay, it's quite interesting." Jiang Mian casually mentioned a few interesting things from the filming.
When she spoke, Qi Yanshu stared at her the whole time, listened carefully, and raised the corners of his mouth.
Jiang Mian: "..."
She tilted her head and looked at Qi Yanshu.
Qi Yanshu has beautiful eyes, long and thick eyelashes, and very shallow eyelids. When there is a smile in his eyes, his eyelids will form a thin wrinkle. Compared with before when his eyes were covered with a white cloth, he looks a bit younger like this. Alienation, a little more warmth.
Qi Yanshu let her look at him with focused eyes.
Jiang Mian didn't know what to say for a moment, so he could only smile politely.
Qi Yanshu lowered his long eyelashes slightly to cover up the flashing emotions in his eyes. After sorting out his thoughts, he raised his eyes again and looked for a new topic: "Where is your fox?"
"In the room." Jiang Mian randomly found a reason.
Qi Yanshu: "You can take good care of him and tell him to do whatever you want."
Jiang Mian raised his eyebrows slightly.
Qi Yanshu could tell that the silver fox was a demon, and she was not surprised. Master Tian's father once told her that Qi Yanshu's Taoist skills were no worse than his own.
But Qi Yanshu's words seemed to indicate that she knew that Silver Fox was a demon.
The question is, how did he know
She kept pretending in front of Tianshi Dad, and Tianshi Dad didn't notice it either.
Jiang Mian smiled deliberately and said, "What can a little fox do?"
The smile in Qi Yanshu's eyes deepened and he did not answer.
Jiang Mian: "..."
Remembering what Master Tianshi said, Jiang Mian changed the subject: "By the way, Uncle Qi, last night, if my father said anything unpleasant, I would like to apologize to you on his behalf."
In her opinion, Tianshi's father was Qi Yanshu's senior brother. With Qi Yanshu's character, he shouldn't have driven Tianshi's father out of the car, not to mention it was already early in the morning.
That time when Master Tian saw Qi Yanshu downstairs in the community unit, his first words were surprised "You're not dead" -
Perhaps in the car last night, Master Tian made something shocking again, causing Qi Yanshu to chase him away.
If this is the case, she needs to apologize on behalf of Heavenly Master.
"It's my problem." Qi Yanshu shook his head with an apology on his face. He was not surprised that Zuo Xingping told Jiang Mian what happened last night, "I have something urgent and cannot send my senior brother away, so I have to ask him to get off the car."
He emphasized the word "please" to show that he did not mean "rush".
At that time, the power of the curse that Qi Yanshu suppressed in his body and had not been lifted was out of control. Zuo Xingping had to be kicked out of the car, otherwise Zuo Xingping would easily notice something strange.
If Zuo Xingping notices it, he will most likely inform Master Xuansu of the result.
Master, the old man has already had enough to worry about, so there is no need to trouble him anymore.
Furthermore, every time the power of the curse occurs, the memory image that flashes in his mind becomes clearer.
He needs the stimulation of these cursed powers to allow him to see all the memory images clearly.
"After all, it's still troublesome for Uncle Qi." Jiang Mian said.
Qi Yanshu was silent for two seconds and said, "Since you call me uncle, there is no need to be so polite between us."
Luo Jiale, who was driving, swallowed quietly and carefully looked at the situation behind him from the rearview mirror. He was afraid of being discovered, so he only took one look and then left.
The surprise in his eyes almost overflowed.
After working as Qi Yanshu's assistant for several months, he knew very well how "cold" his boss was. When he was in the Taoist temple, he would often not say a word for a day unless Master Xuansu arrived.
Only when Jiang Mian is mentioned, the boss seems to be so popular.
But its popularity is limited.
Now, the boss, who can see with his eyes, seems to be a completely different person when facing Miss Jiang -
When he got along with Miss Jiang before, he was not so gentle, almost gentle.
Could it be that a person's personality changes so quickly when he can see or not see
No, no, he denied himself in his heart.
The boss's changes were only for Miss Jiang, and there were no changes in other aspects. When facing him, she still cherished her words like gold.
Or maybe the previous boss simply liked Miss Jiang
This time Miss Jiang inserted a silver needle to stop his bleeding and saved him. Now that he has the grace to save his life, the boss treats Miss Jiang more gently
After Luo Jiale compared it carefully in his mind, he felt that he should guess almost exactly.
Some time ago, Mr. Qi fell ill. The Qi family believed that it was Qi Yanshu who made the old man seriously ill, so Qi Yanshu took the initiative to return to the Taoist temple.
After Mr. Qi's condition improved, he was probably afraid that he would suddenly leave one day, and wanted to see his youngest son find a home, so he let people seduce famous ladies.
As Qi Yanshu's assistant, Luo Jiale became the microphone between father and son. Mr. Qi selected the girls he thought were suitable and asked Luo Jiale to pass them on to Qi Yanshu.
The latter didn’t look at any of them.
Mr. Qi did not get feedback and deducted a lot of Luo Jiale's salary - he felt that he needed to reveal to Mr. Qi that the boss already had someone he liked.
Otherwise, as an assistant, he would be caught in the middle and it would be really difficult.
If the old man knows that the boss has a sweetheart, he will definitely be happy - Miss Jiang is beautiful, has a good personality, good character, and a superior family background. Standing with the boss, she is a perfect match.
Luo Jiale was thinking as he showed off his extraordinary skills in the crowded traffic, and soon arrived at a shopping mall and entered the underground parking lot.
"Sir, Miss Jiang, the mall has arrived." Luo Jiale took out a pair of black sunglasses from the box in a very considerate manner, "Ms. Jiang, why don't you put these on?"
Jiang Mian: "..."
Just as Jiang Mian was about to get out of the car, Qi Yanshu, who had already gotten off the car, walked around and opened the door for her.
Luo Jiale retracted his hand silently.
"Sir, my stomach suddenly hurts. How about I wait for you here." Luo Jiale suddenly clutched his stomach in pain. In order to make his acting realistic and not let Jiang Mian, a real actor, see it, he secretly cruelly He pinched himself hard.
It is rare for the boss to be alone with Miss Jiang. Although the two of them do not need to visit the mall in person, this is another opportunity to get along.
As an assistant, you need to have a good eye.
Qi Yanshu nodded and stared down at Jiang Mian: "Let's go."
Jiang Mian had no choice but to enter the mall with Qi Yanshu.
After a while, Qi Yanshu suddenly stopped. Facing the crowded shopping mall, hesitation appeared in his eyes.
This was Qi Yanshu's first time entering the mall. He had never been there before, so after entering the mall, he didn't know which direction to go.
He proposed to go to the mall to buy clothes because he actually wanted to spend more time alone with Jiang Mian.
He couldn't wait to take Jiang Mian into the mall and pick out clothes for her in person.
Jiang Mian couldn't hold back her laughter. Although Qi Yanshu tried his best to hide it, his hesitant steps and unfamiliar eyes had given him away.
Qi Yanshu scanned the crowd with his eyes, quickly determined where to go through the crowd, and no longer hesitated in his next steps.
Jiang Mian swallowed the reminder that reached his mouth.
Let's save some face for this Uncle Qi.
The clothing area of this shopping mall is on the third floor. The two of them took the elevator. Qi Yanshu stood behind Jiang Mian in a protective posture.
Jiang Mian turned his head slightly and met Qi Yanshu's gentle eyes.
The distance between the two is very close. From her direction, you can see that the color of Qi Yanshu's pupils is not pure black, but light brown.
If you look closely, there seems to be a hint of red.
"Borrow me for a moment." Someone hurriedly came from behind. Qi Yanshu subconsciously took Jiang Mian into his arms, avoiding the young mother who was holding a child and carrying a large vegetable basket.
Jiang Mian frowned, but fortunately Qi Yanshu quickly let go of her and raised his hand to straighten her crooked hat very naturally.
There was a faint voice coming from the front:
"Look, there's a handsome guy there."
"Where is it? Damn, this profile is amazing."
"Quick, quick, take a picture."
Qi Yanshu suddenly raised his head and met a young girl's eyes accurately. The latter touched his eyes and silently put the phone back.
…
There were fewer people on the third floor than on the first and second floors. Qi Yanshu took Jiang Mian into a women's clothing store. There were many customers inside. After they entered, they all turned their attention to them.
Jiang Mian was wearing a hat with the brim of the hat lowered. Only the lower half of his face could be seen at a glance. Most of his eyes were directed at Qi Yanshu, with a look of amazement in his eyes.
"Sir, Miss, how can I help you?" A clerk came over with a sweet smile.
"I want a simple coat." Jiang Mian hurriedly said before Qi Yanshu could speak, "Uncle Qi, just buy whatever you want."
Qi Yanshu frowned slightly. He wanted to say something, but he swallowed it back.
In order to avoid Jiang Mian's displeasure, he did not take the initiative to choose clothes for Jiang Mian, but waited for Jiang Mian to get a light blue coat before shaking his head: "Mianmian, this dress is too dark and not suitable for you. "
Then he naturally selected a knitted jacket that he liked and handed it to Jiang Mian.
Jiang Mian took it without looking at it carefully, and said with a smile: "Okay, that's it."
She asked the clerk to pack the clothes and pay with a card. From the corner of her eye, she saw Qi Yanshu standing quietly behind her, her eyebrows moving slightly: she thought Qi Yanshu would say that he would pay the bill.
Fortunately, Qi Yanshu did not do this.
—
Luo Jiale was sitting in the car chatting with his girlfriend. Based on his experience of accompanying his girlfriend to the mall, he thought that the boss would not return until at least an hour later.
Occasionally, I looked up and saw two figures walking through the windshield. I took a closer look, weren't they the boss and Miss Jiang? !
Luo Jiale was so excited that he quickly opened the car door and got out, taking a look at the time on his phone.
Only fifteen minutes had passed since the two of them entered the mall.
"Sir, Miss Jiang, is it so fast?" Because he was surprised, he couldn't help but express his thoughts.
Jiang Mian raised her eyebrows slightly: "Does your stomach still hurt?"
Luo Jiale looked slightly sluggish and quickly shook his head.
Jiang Mian smiled and said nothing.
After the car drove out of the underground parking lot, it was discovered that it was already raining lightly outside. Jiang Mian looked at the rain curtain outside the window and said casually: "It hasn't rained for a long time."
The last time it rained was a month ago.
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt warm - Qi Yanshu took out the newly bought coat from the bag and put it on her body.
Jiang Mian's eyes flickered, and he looked at Qi Yanshu, smiled slightly, and tightened his clothes: "Thank you, Uncle Qi."
Qi Yanshu's eyes fell on her hand holding the clothes.
An image suddenly became clear in my mind—
A pale, slender hand grasped the corner of his clothes.
The hand was clenched tightly, as if it was holding something important, and the finger bones turned white from the exertion.
