This was Xiang Wan's second visit to the imperial palace.
Whether it is mood or feeling, it is completely different from the first time.
The sculpture of the fountain goddess still stands quietly at the door, with a kind of aloof mockery in the quiet night.
Xiang Wan walked past her with a heavy heart.
... Sun Shangli.
…why jump
… Insurance? revenge? Or forced to helpless
As of today, the Imperial Palace has not yet reopened, but in order to "wash the dust" for Huang He, under Bai Munian's order, it has been cleaned inside and out. Except for the fifth floor, which is not open, the lights in other places are brightly lit. There was no difference before.
In particular, there is a caring service.
At the gate of the ninth floor of the Imperial Palace, the waiter filled the boiled grapefruit leaf water into beautiful pots and stood neatly in two rows, just like the treatment for honored guests.
Every time someone walks past, the waiter in palace costume will hold a basin and let people wash their hands.
"Grapefruit water, get rid of bad luck!"
"Our imperial palace has been fumigated with grapefruit water!"
Huang He thanked him, put his hand into the basin, washed his heart heavily, and just as he was about to pick it up, Fang Yuanyuan stuffed it back for him.
"Wash again, wash again, get rid of bad luck, good luck!"
Huang He smiled helplessly, "... I just took a shower before I came back, and I'm not dirty."
"I know you're not dirty." Fang Yuanyuan glanced at him, with an uncontrollable smile in his brows and eyes, "I can smell it, the smell of shampoo and soap, no smell of sweat..."
"hey-hey."
"Fool, what a fart, hurry up and wash!"
The voices of the two were low, as if they were talking quietly about love.
Huang He chuckled, and gently squeezed her hand in the basin.
The waitress had sharp eyes, and when she saw this little move, she secretly pursed her lips and smiled.
Fang Yuanyuan was embarrassed, and patted him, "Death!"
After scolding, she was stunned for a moment, and then slapped her mouth with grapefruit water, "Bah bah bah, nonsense, wash it, it won't work!"
"..."
In the imperial palace, when it comes to death, it is very sensitive.
Xiang Wan felt that it was very challenging for Bai Muchuan to choose to entertain friends here.
As long as you think of the human tissue in the wall, it seems that all the delicacies of mountains and seas have changed their taste.
However, the Imperial Palace will reopen sooner or later, so he is fighting for his cousin, right
"Why don't you move your chopsticks?" Bai Muchuan sat beside Xiang Wan, watching her wandering mind, she was still smiling when she was talking to Huang He just now, but when she turned around, she immediately became darker.
"Not too hungry." Xiang Wan smiled.
"I called you out for dinner, you don't seem very happy?"
Xiang Wan was a little puzzled by his erratic attitude, "You are the one who is unhappy, right?"
Bai Muchuan didn't deny it, didn't say a word of nonsense, just snorted, and directly scolded him.
"It's not like you just moved to a new house. I don't have anything to be happy about."
Hearing this, Xiang Wan couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Then I would like to ask Officer Bai, why are you unhappy when I move to a new house?"
Bai Muchuan lowered his brows lightly, gave her a "self-understanding" look, and didn't speak.
"Hey!" Xiang Wan squinted at him for a long time, then burst out laughing, "You say you're really weird, it's my business where I live, why are you so angry?"
"Who told you that I was angry?" Bai Muchuan raised his eyebrows, looking nonchalant.
"I understand." Xiang Wan leaned over her head with a chuckle, and said with a smile: "Could it be Cheng Dui is your sweetheart? So, I moved in and lived next to him, which made you jealous beyond recognition and hate me." To the bone?"
The corners of Bai Muchuan's lips twitched strangely.
"Hey! Am I right?" Xiang Wan bit her lower lip and jokingly said, "How about this. Anyway, my house is also a three-bedroom house, and I happen to have one room available for 4,000 yuan. Let me sublet that room Here you go!"
Bai Muchuan looked at her with a downcast face.
Suddenly snorted coldly, "Exit!"
"..." Nervous!
He stopped talking.
Xiang Wan talked boringly by himself, so he turned his head and ignored him.
Inexplicably, they stiffen their bodies and don't look at each other's posture, feeling a sense of joy inexplicably.
The people who came to greet Huang He today were still acquaintances from the criminal investigation team, but with the lessons learned from the past, no one except Bai Muchuan drank alcohol, and they all substituted drinks and tea.
This style of life suddenly became healthy, and everyone sighed, but they couldn't help feeling a little bit, even if the delicacies were first, they didn't taste that good.
"Isn't the case closed? Why are everyone so unhappy?"
Huang He saw that the topic tonight couldn't bring any atmosphere, so he took the initiative to make a joke of his own.
"Could it be that I brought out the smell of hostile forces from it, you can't eat it?"
"Shut up, you." Bai Muchuan said lightly, picked up the glass to drink the drink in front of him, "When you come out, don't think about what's going on inside. Start all over again!"
His complexion is not very good today, and everyone has noticed it.
So, amidst the faint murderous aura, everyone responded to him, but they were always somewhat restrained.
"Boss, I'm here to toast you!" Huang He went to get the wine bottle, "It's thanks to you covering brother, or I'd really fall this time!"
Fang Yuanyuan was taken aback, and reflexively wanted to hold his hand down.
But he stretched out his hand in the air, paused, and then slowly retracted it.
After knowing the cause and effect of the incident, she had a little fear of the sequelae of Huang He's drinking, but Huang He has not resumed work, and no one will care about drinking now...
Work! Fang Yuanyuan subconsciously looked at Huang He's face.
Everyone kept quiet about this issue, not even Bai Muchuan said whether he could resume work or not.
Therefore, Fang Yuanyuan's heart was troubled by Huang He.
Huang He has worked as a criminal police officer for many years, and he is used to it and likes this job. He once told Fang Yuanyuan that he hoped that he could retire from the criminal police position. Therefore, Fang Yuanyuan was afraid that he would lose his job and would not be able to bear the blow, so he would play with her and disappear...
The two men drank.
The others wanted to drink together, but Bai Muchuan stopped them.
However, in this way, the atmosphere gradually improved.
The men chatted, but Xiang Wan remained silent.
Fang Yuanyuan looked at it for a long time, then suddenly turned her head to ask her.
"Did you quarrel with Officer Bai?"
"..."
Xiang Wan snorted, "No way!"
With such a relationship between them, how could there be any possibility of quarreling
At most, you are not happy with me, and I am not happy with you.
The only thing that frustrates her is why he is not happy with her.
"Why is that?" Fang Yuanyuan frowned and pulled her arm, "Is it because the website asked you to rectify it?"
Xiang Wan never told anyone about this, including Bai Muchuan.
After all, other people don't understand the things in the Internet literature circle. Even if you say it, you may not understand it.
But Bai Muchuan, who was sitting next to her, heard Fang Yuanyuan's question.
He glanced over with sharp eyes, "What text are you editing?"
Fang Yuanyuan let out an uh, and was about to explain, but was picked up by Xiang Wan.
"Don't you say you are my die-hard fan? You don't know such a big thing? Are you sorry for me?"
This tone is a bit embarrassing!
Bai Muchuan raised his eyebrows and gave her a cold look, but rarely did he get angry at her. Instead, he put down his chopsticks with a frown, took out his mobile phone, and seriously became her "little fan", and opened "Murder God"...
The bustle of the book review area has subsided a lot.
However, a little flipping through can restore the whole story.
"Fuck!" Bai Muchuan cursed suddenly.
This sudden rage stunned everyone at the dinner table.
Everyone's eyes were focused on his face, which was full of question marks.
"Boss...?"
Most of the time, Bai Muchuan is a person who knows how to control his emotions, especially on occasions like today, he will not swear casually.
Who made him black face
Bai Muchuan didn't speak, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
Fang Yuanyuan's clear eyes flicked back and forth between him and Xiang Wan, laughing playfully.
"Officer Bai cares about you..."
Xiang Wan was a little embarrassed, "It's okay. In the online literature circle, this thing is normal..."
"Normal? Are you coaxing me to be Xiaobai?"
"... You are Xiaobai in the first place."
The cold air on Bai Muchuan's face didn't let up, he snorted at her angrily, and scoffed in a cold voice, "Teacher Xiang, you've been so arrogant in front of me, why did you fall into someone else's hands, and you're so cowardly?"
Where is she, and where is the bun
Xiang Wan took a deep breath, "I won't tell you. You don't understand at all..."
As the saying goes, each other is like a mountain, just like Xiang Wan doesn't understand his industry, she knows that Bai Muchuan can't understand how complicated her circle is. Therefore, she is unwilling to waste her tongue explaining to laymen...
However, before she finished speaking, Bai Muchuan suddenly stood up with a dark face.
Without giving anyone a chance to react, he left the room.
Xiang Wan: ...
What are you angry about? so fierce.
What did she not say to him
As soon as he left, the eyes of everyone at the table turned to her again.
Xiang Wan was looked at embarrassingly by everyone.
Spreading her hands innocently, she smiled awkwardly.
"Eat, I'll go and have a look!"
…
By the window at the end of the corridor, Xiang Wan found Bai Muchuan.
He turned his back to her, holding a cigarette in one hand and talking on the phone with the other.
With the embarrassing experience of eavesdropping and being discovered by him last time, Xiang Wan did not approach him this time, but only looked at his back from a distance.
In the dense night light, the man's tall and straight back, tall figure, lazy movements, and the flickering fireworks on the slender fingers gave people an inexplicably rebellious feeling.
Bai Muchuan, who is not in the state of handling a case, is not so calm and serious, but has a special charm.
"Okay! Don't talk about this with me. I don't like to listen to reasons! I've said everything that needs to be said, and you can figure out the rest!"
He didn't know who he was talking to, so he suddenly raised his voice angrily, and without waiting for the other party to explain, he hung up the phone, raised his hand, and took a deep puff of the cigarette, showing an inexplicable depressed mood...
"cough!"
Xiang Wan slowly passed by.
"Bai Muchuan, are you really angry?"
Bai Muchuan turned his head, half-closed his eyes and looked at her, with some uncertain doubts in his merciless expression.
"Your emotional intelligence really owes you!"
Xiang Wan: "..."
"You came here specifically for me? Huh?"
He suddenly asked again, with a smile on his slightly raised lips.
"Is there anyone else here besides you?" Xiang Wan wanted to laugh, but as soon as the corners of his smiling eyes curled up, he was flabbergasted by his cold gaze.
cough! She immediately said, "In order to save my dying EQ, I decided to take back what I just said. Yes, Bai Muchuan, I came here specially to find you."
Hearing what she said, Bai Muchuan's expression became much better, but Xiang Wan pointed to the door of the private room, and told him solemnly: "Everyone, I'm afraid you won't be able to think about it for a while, so let me take a look. After all, the fifth floor is already closed." If you fly a Sun Shangli, if you want to fly another Bai Muchuan on the ninth floor, then they won't be able to take a vacation this year!"
"Xiang Wan!"
Bai Muchuan scolded angrily, giving full play to the advantages of his long legs, and strode in front of her with a dark face.
"You woman, why don't you know good from bad?"
"..."
Xiang Wan pursed her lips.
After a second, she said faintly, "I'm in arrears with EQ!"
Bai Muchuan: "..."
The two looked at each other, and there was a glimmer of light in each other's eyes.
He was much taller than her, and she had to hold her head up.
The light in the corridor seemed to be a little more hazy than before, adding a faint halo to his handsome face, which made his cold and deep features look particularly good, and gave Xiang Wan an unreal feeling.
This glance is very short. At this glance, it seems very long again.
Xiang Wan's heart gradually had an illusion that was already ancient at this moment, as if he should have stood here waiting for her, and should have stared at her with such eyes, no sadness, no joy, only endless affection...
"Bai Muchuan."
"Xiang Wan."
The two spoke in unison.
"Well, you say."
"Go ahead."
Again in unison.
Then, shut your mouth again at the same time.
"Oh!" Xiang Wan was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "I just watched you from behind for a long time."
"Huh? What did you find?"
"Your back... looks like a ghost!"
"..."
Bai Muchuan's dark eyes almost covered her face.
After a long time, he suddenly snorted.
"seriously?"
"... I am a kind person after all."
"Huh?" He slowly raised his eyelids, "Is this what you wanted to say just now?"
"Then which one do you want to talk about?"
"I want to say..." Bai Muchuan raised his hand, grabbed her chin suddenly, and raised it slightly.
In the long corridor, there is a cold wind blowing from nowhere, making this antique court-style hardcover corner suddenly warm and ambiguous.
He stands high above, staring down, as if an ancient emperor was examining his concubines, from the deep male voice to the blurred expression, and the curvature of the corners of the mouth, all of which give people a sense of temptation.
"I'm thinking, tonight... Do you want to flip your sign?"
Xiang Wan's eyelashes fluttered, and he froze.
so direct. Is it a joke? Is it malicious
His expression was so serious that she couldn't look directly at him.
"do not like me?"
"..."
Bai Muchuan's eyes were too dark tonight.
Xiang Wan couldn't answer the sudden question.
"Everyone is an adult..." He suddenly raised her chin a little higher with force, his smiling face slowly lowered, and his warm breath almost sprayed on her face, "Is it okay?"
