Xia Shao didn't remember how the fight on the sofa ended that night. She only remembered the flickering light in the living room, the sound of water rushing in the bathroom, the warm water temperature and the man's warm and thick embrace.
Xu Tianyin came out of the bathroom holding Xia Shao. She was lying softly in his arms in her nightgown, looking as if she was tired and wanted to sleep. The man's eyes were soft, but he still hugged her back to the sofa, let her pillow on his lap, took the towel, and helped her wipe her hair.
He was gentle, treating her hair like a treasure that was the love of his life. He patiently wiped her hair until it was half dry, then took the hair dryer and blew it from a distance.
There were no lights on in the living room, and the flickering light from the TV screen illuminated the sofa. The woman's hair blown by the hairdryer and the man's lowered head and concentration were all the most heart-warming tunes at this moment.
When the hair dryer was turned on, the man gathered the woman's hair, and a few soft hairs fell from his palm. He looked at the hair for a moment, placed it on the sofa, then picked her up and returned to the bedroom.
After taking Xia Shao to bed and covering her with a quilt, Xu Tianyin did not lie down, but turned around and left the room.
He returned to the living room, picked up the hair on the sofa, and took off the hair on the towel when wiping her hair, and lowered his head to sort them one by one. He tidied it up very slowly, as if he were treating her. She had very little hair, so he only sorted out a few strands. After arranging them, he wrapped them around his fingertips and stared at them for a long time. He then lowered his head and kissed her gently. Then he stood up, took a handkerchief, wrapped her hair, put it in his pocket and put it away.
At this time, there was a slight vibration from the mobile phone on his body. Xu Tianyin got up and walked outside the house, answered the phone, returned to the house and turned on the computer to sort out the information, and then returned to the bedroom. In the bedroom, Xia Shao was fast asleep. Xu Tianyin sat beside the bed and stared at her sleeping face quietly in the moonlight. It was not until dawn that he went to bed and lay down, holding her in his arms and slowly fell asleep.
Xia Shao slept until noon. When she got up, she heard the sound of a car outside, so she got up and walked to the door. Xu Tianyin had just parked the car and got out of the car carrying large and small bags of ingredients. When she looked up, she was standing at the door with a faint smile on her lips.
Xia Shao went out, took the bag with a smile, and joked: "So, actually we just changed our place to live, and our lives are still the same as before, right?"
She was referring to traveling, buying local fruits and vegetables, and cooking by yourself.
"It's different." Xu Tianyin walked in and kissed her on the forehead, with soft eyes, "Go to the yacht at noon."
Um? yacht
Someone brought the villa to the yacht at noon, and when Xia Shao saw it, it turned out to be an employee of the Howe Group's Australian headquarters.
"Ms. Xia, please sign for this yacht's bill." The manager who delivered the yacht smiled respectfully and handed Xia Shao a bill. Xia Shao took it and took a look. It was the same list as Adam's gift on the night of her engagement.
Only then did Xia Shao remember that she felt she didn't need the yacht at that time, so she handed the list to Xu Tianyin and kept it. Unexpectedly, this man brought it here for use
Xia Shao smiled and signed the order, and the manager of Haowei Group asked if he needed a waiter. They provide yacht owners with a full range of services, including captains, chefs, and waiters. In addition, Howe Group also has a yacht club to provide customers with yacht hosting services. As for the service fees, Adam has already ordered them to come over and they are all free of charge.
Xu Tianyin knew how to drive a yacht, and Xia Shao also wanted a world for two, so she offered waiter service and thanked the manager.
This private yacht is divided into two floors, with a living room, master bedroom, guest bedroom, kitchen, bar, bathroom and other facilities. Before the trip, Xia Shao knew she would come to the beach, so she prepared a swimsuit. She changed into it in the bedroom and walked slowly to the deck.
The sea breeze is moist and warm, the waves are turning white, and the blue sky above your head and your feet on the deck feel really comfortable. Turning around, he saw Xu Tianyin in the cockpit, holding the yacht, looking at him softly.
He was still wearing a black shirt, but his shirt was rarely open. There was wild power in his chest and abdomen, and his deep eyes stared at people, giving him a deadly aura. Xia Shao somehow remembered last night, her cheeks suddenly turned red, then she turned around and ran to the front of the deck to wake up in the sea breeze.
But she didn't know that when she turned around, her body drew a graceful arc in the sun. The honey-colored swimsuit made her skin as soft as a baby. The tulle tied around her waist was gently raised in the blowing sea breeze, and the thin veil was vaguely visible. The rounded scenery under the gauze.
The weather was very good today, it was noon, the sea breeze was gentle and the sea was calm. Xu Tianyin parked the yacht on the sea, and the two of them went to the kitchen to cook a delicious lunch. They came to the deck to sip white wine and enjoy lunch.
Unlike last night, the villa area on the shore was no longer visible on the sea. The sky was blue and the sea was blue. Except for the sea breeze and the occasional seagull flying overhead, the world was as quiet as if there were only two people left. I didn't feel lonely at all, I just felt comfortable. Even if the two of them hugged each other on the deck chair after lunch, they didn't have to worry about anyone disturbing them.
The two even took a nap hugging each other on the deck. When they woke up, Xia Shao found that there was an umbrella above her head, and Xu Tianyin was standing on the side of the deck, holding a fishing rod in his hand.
Xia Shao's eyes lit up and she suddenly woke up. She smiled and walked over, and the man handed her the fishing rod with the bait on it. Xia Shao took it with a smile, and when she was about to throw the pole, she realized that she had never fished before, let alone sea fishing. And her gesture was immediately noticed by the man.
"Like this." Xu Tianyin came over, held Xia Shao's right hand holding the rod, and asked her fingers to hold the main line. Then he checked the winding wheel and let her fingers go when throwing it out, and the line was thrown far away. to the distant sea.
Xia Shao smiled and turned around, "Senior brother, you used to go fishing?"
"On vacation," he answered. There were no fishing rods during the mission. When we arrived on the island, we used local materials. Many times we had to dive into the sea to catch fish ourselves.
"Senior brother, you like fishing?" She didn't know he still had this hobby.
"When you're bored." His short answer made her heart ache.
Before, he was always alone. Even when he is on vacation, he lives alone in a place far away from the crowd. No one talks to him, so he takes care of himself. When he is bored, he goes to the beach to fish. He sits there all day long, and from sunrise to sunset, he remains lonely. The more he harvests, the lonelier he becomes. Those fish can have company in the bucket, but he is always alone...
Xia Shao's heart ached, but there was a smile on her face, "I will accompany you from now on."
"Yes." The man looked back at her, his brows filled with gentleness.
"Are we coming to compete?" Xia Shao didn't want the atmosphere to be too sad since it was a rare trip. She glanced at the other fishing rod on the ground with a provocative look.
Her provocative look made the man chuckle, and he didn't answer her. He just silently picked up the fishing rod on the ground, arranged it, and threw it out.
It is said to be a competition, but for Xia Shao, it is better to say it is a novel experience. Xu Tianyin would patiently teach her how to cast the rod, how to judge whether the fish is hooked, how to collect the rod, etc. Everything in the world is easier said than done, and sea fishing is the same. It sounds easy, but in fact it takes a lot of practice to sum up a set of experiences, such as determining fishing positions, which water layers contain which types of fish, etc. Xu Tianyin basically knew all the fish he caught, but Xia Shao didn't know that he also had the function of an encyclopedia. But then she discovered that he was only distinguishing whether it was edible or not. Thinking back to when he was performing missions in the past, on an isolated island or in the wild, this was the only way to ensure survival.
But that was before, and now, she is with him.
Xia Shao worked as a good student all afternoon, and the result of her studiousness was that she returned home with a fruitful harvest that she would not be able to finish in the next few days. In the end, the two only kept tonight's dinner, and the others were released into the sea.
In the evening, Xia Shao went back to the cabin to take a shower and put on a coat. When she came out, she was stunned when she saw the back of Xu Tianyin steering the wheel in the cab, the golden sunset outside the window, and the seaside villa in the distance. for a long time.
If you get tired one day, you can live such a life all the time. You must be very happy.
…
Xu Tianyin's beachfront villa area in Australia is a high-end private area. Rich people from all over the world often come here for vacation. There is a small harbor on the beach here. Xu Tianyin parked the yacht at the harbor, and the two of them went back to the villa and moved a pile of firewood out. Although it is summer, the storage room of the villa is full of firewood. When Xu Tianyin lived here before, he stored a lot of supplies, which are very convenient to use now.
The two moved the firewood to the golden beach, and tonight's dinner was grilled fish.
These things were very familiar to Xu Tianyin, but they were very novel to Xia Shao. Looking at her bright eyebrows in the sunset, he would inadvertently raise his head and look at her for a long time.
When the sun set below the sea level, a bonfire was lit on the beach, and a rectangular blue cloth was spread on the ground. The two of them sat on it and roasted this afternoon's harvest together. The strong wine, grilled fish, fruit flavor, dry cheese, bonfire, sea breeze, and the woman's smile all made him lose his mind. He couldn't help but take another look at the single-family villa not far behind him. He vaguely thought that this was not where he lived before.
"Like it?" he asked, asking the same question as last night.
"I like senior brother." She replied with a smile, picked up a piece of fruit, and smiled to appreciate his embarrassment.
But what she was waiting for was a sudden hug and passionate kiss from the man.
The kiss came without warning, with the smell of strong alcohol. Her heartbeat skipped a beat. When she realized it, the two of them had fallen on the beach. In the warm light of the bonfire, her clothes were open, and the honey-colored swimsuit made her skin glow with powder in the firelight. He stroked her, touching every inch of her curves that made him nostalgic. He felt her tremble under his palm. He tried hard to He restrained himself, but couldn't help kissing her harder the next moment.
The fragrance after bathing still remained on her body, which was undoubtedly the most beautiful catalyst of the night. He couldn't help but come under the tulle around her waist, but his attempt to want her here woke her up.
"Senior brother, don't...don't be here..." She held his hand down, her cheeks turning even redder. She was not ready to accept an open-air battle.
As soon as he finished speaking, he picked her up from the beach. Instead of taking her back to the villa, he carried her to the yacht. He kissed her on the deck, until he reached the cabin and the bar. The lights in the bar were red with wine, and the man's naked and wild upper body looked like the king of the night, exuding an aura of deadly danger. The two made love at the bar, and then he took her to the bathroom to take a shower.
The tide at night was much more intense than during the day. The yacht was rocking, the bathroom was filled with water vapor, and the rustling sound of the tide was right under his feet. It was a wonderful feeling, and it seemed like another kind of aphrodisiac at night. He was in the bathroom. He wanted her, but she felt that it was more difficult to make love in a yacht than on the beach. After two times, she was already lying softly in his arms, letting him help her bathe, wash her hair, wipe her body, Wear a bathrobe…
He always did these things very gently, which was like a lullaby to her who was tired. She simply let him wait for her, and by the time he came out of the bathroom with her in his arms, she was already drowsy.
Xu Tianyin carried Xia Shao to the living room. Everything was like last night. He let her lie on his lap to sleep first. He concentrated on wiping and drying her hair. After doing this, he took her back to the bedroom to sleep. He still didn't sleep with her immediately. Instead, he left the bedroom and went to the living room. He found her hair on the sofa and towel, sorted it out one by one, put it together with last night's hair, wrapped it up and put it close to her body. .
Then he answered the phone, sorted out the information, returned to the bedroom and sat by the bed, staring at her sleeping face until dawn, then he lay down and hugged her to sleep.
Not counting the day they first arrived at the beach villa, Xia Shao and Xu Tianyin stayed here for a total of three days. The two of them went out to sea or went shopping in the city center. There were new programs every day and they stayed up late into the night every night. Finally, when Xia Shao woke up at noon on the fourth day, she saw Xu Tianyin packing her luggage.
"Senior brother?"
Xu Tianyin looked up from his luggage and smiled, "I'll take you to the winery."
…
The winery that Xu Tianyin took Xia Shao to was a private winery in a small town some distance away. The two of them had dinner in the city at noon before driving there. By the time they arrived in the small town, it was already dark.
The winery is on the outskirts of the town, and the car becomes more and more remote as we drive, but the scenery on the road is extremely beautiful. There is endless farmland as far as the eye can see, and a medieval castle-like building appears at the foot of the mountain. The huge manor gradually appeared in the golden light, and the waiter greeted him at the door of the manor. As soon as Xu Tianyin's car stopped in the castle, a young man in a tuxedo came out.
The moment the man saw Xu Tianyin getting out of the car, he opened his arms in an exaggerated manner and wanted to hug him, "Oh! King! It's really you, God! I can actually see you in my lifetime!"
It was the first time that Xia Shao saw that Xu Tianyin's air-conditioning had no effect. He didn't just glare at the man and scare him away. Instead, he took her to the side, his lips pursed like a knife, and the surrounding temperature dropped several times. Du said, "Miga, I just haven't been here for five years."
"Oh! So you remember that you haven't been here for a few years, which means you have been thinking about us!" Miga ignored us and didn't mind at all. He turned around and smiled brightly.
Xu Tianyin took Xia Shao's hand and walked inside, "Ignore him, he is not normal."
Xia Shao chuckled. This was the first time she had seen her senior brother complain. However, it was interesting to say that Xu Tianyin had such a cold and taciturn temperament, but his friends were all cheerful and cheerful. only…
Xia Shao lowered her eyes slightly. If she saw it correctly, Miga came out of the winery just now with a slight limp in her left leg. Moreover, this person looks kind and happy, but in fact his eyes are shining brightly, and his body has evil aura. He may be responsible for many lives, and his identity is not simple at first glance.
At this time, when Mijia saw Xia Shao, his eyes shone with excitement. He caught up from behind and said enthusiastically: "Oh! Miss Xia! I didn't expect to see you in person. King, you are so unkind, taking you with me Your fiancée came here and you didn’t even introduce your old friend to her? Also, you guys got engaged and you didn’t even invite us. Boss, you abandoned your employees for five years and you came here tonight and you’re still so cold. How can you? It’s so sad.”
Xu Tianyin kept walking without looking back, but Xia Shao raised her eyebrows.
Um? Senior brother is the owner of this winery
"She's hungry, prepare dinner." Xu Tianyin said this and took Xia Shao to the upper floor of the castle.
This is a medieval castle. The corridors are full of Renaissance paintings, the golden and red carpets on the ground, and the luxurious charm of Western aristocrats. The bedroom at the end is also decorated in a European style, with a dark red bed, quaint closets, tables and chairs, which is completely different from the beach house.
After packing her luggage again, Xia Shao put on her dress and sat in front of the dressing table to dress up before asking, "Senior brother, who is Miga?"
"People under Edi." Xu Tianyin said after changing into his suit.
Xia Shao raised an eyebrow, "Mercenary?"
"Well, it used to be. Now I manage the winery and occasionally do intelligence work."
"The waiters at the winery have unusual backgrounds, right?" Xia Shao understood a little better and said with a smile. When the car drove in just now, she inadvertently glanced out the window. The waiters looked very professional, but in fact they were all practitioners, and none of them were good. But the car drove by quickly and Miga came out to greet her, so she didn't pay much attention to the waiters.
"They used to be special forces or mercenaries. They came here after they were retired, injured or tired of life." Xu Tianyin came behind Xia Shao and hugged her. Only in front of her did he talk more, " Edie saved me when I was injured in a previous mission. I bought this place ten years ago to house his brothers. They usually manage the winery. I have never participated and only come here occasionally. "
I see…
"Most of their family members are here to change their identities and live ordinary lives. In this town, 50% of them belong to them, and they usually take care of each other. Many people work on nearby farms or are responsible for the business of the winery. "
Hearing this, Xia Shao nodded after a long time. These people are used to fighting and killing. Even if they withdraw from that circle, someone will inevitably seek revenge. With everyone here, they can have someone to take care of them. I just didn't expect that such a private winery has so many pasts and reasons.
The two sat and chatted in the room until the waiter came and knocked on the door. Xu Tianyin took Xia Shao out of the room and went to the restaurant downstairs.
The dining table was lit with candlesticks and crystal lamps hung above, shining brightly. There was a sumptuous dinner on the table. Mijia and eight waiters stood at the table, standing in front of them like butlers. When they saw Xia Shao coming downstairs in a dress holding Xu Tianyin's arm, her eyes suddenly brightened and she smiled. He led a group of waiters and made a gentleman's salute, "Welcome to our two distinguished hosts."
Xu Tianyin had a lonely temperament, so he would not pay attention to Mijia. To avoid being embarrassed, Xia Shao had to smile and said: "Thank you, Mr. Mijia, for your hospitality. I have heard from Yin that you have been taking good care of the winery these years. , so, tonight you are the hosts, and we are the guests."
"That won't work. The king bought the winery. No matter who is in charge, he is the boss." Miga smiled, shrugged, rolled his eyes and added, "Although I have never seen him be so irresponsible. boss."
"I believe he didn't buy this winery to be the boss." Xia Shaoxiao glanced at Xu Tianyin and said to Mijia, "I heard that you saved him once. Thank you. We should just treat each other as friends. ."
Mi Jia raised his eyebrows when he heard this and did not argue with Xia Shao anymore, but he winked mischievously, obviously having a good impression of Xia Shao.
These people all had similar experiences. They usually watched each other perform their duties in the winery, but at this time tonight, no one cared about their status. After seeing Xu Tianyin and Xia Shao sit down, they sat down on two rows of the dining table. They all looked at the two of them. It seems that everyone is very interested in Xu Tianyin's engagement.
"King, you are not a friend enough. Suddenly we heard the news of your engagement. We have never heard of any woman you have fallen in love with before." These words came from Miga's mouth.
But immediately a waiter with a mustache refuted him, "Miga, you look down on our intelligence network so much. A brother has long told you that the king is in love, but you never believed it."
"That's right! You didn't believe it until King's proposal spread on the Internet."
"We had a gambling game at that time. What did you say at that time?"
"No matter what he said, I just remember that he lost the bet. But, where is the money? I haven't seen a penny!"
"Pay back the money! Those who cheat when they lose are the worst gamblers."
Xia Shao didn't expect that before dinner even started, the conversation would suddenly change. Xu Tianyin seemed to be used to this scene. He kept a cold face and said nothing. He opened the red wine, poured it for Xia Shao, and said to her: "Are you hungry? Eat."
The brief words brought an end to the argument at the dinner table. Everyone stared at Xia Shao's wine glass, as if they couldn't believe that Xu Tianyin could serve others.
Xia Shao has always had a strong determination, but she didn't want to be looked at by the people at the table, so she found a topic and said: "I have never heard him say that he has an English name. Can you tell me the origin of this name?"
Hearing this, Miga shrugged and smiled bitterly, "It's nothing. We gave him a name because we thought he was suitable for it. When he was on a mission before, his codename was Lone Wolf, but we felt that King was more suitable for him. You don't know, his... During the period, it was really a nightmare for many people. He was a veritable king sweeping the underground circles of various countries! However, this guy never acknowledged this name, that is, when we called him, he never deserved it. "
Xia Shao smiled when she heard this. No wonder she had never heard Xu Tianyin say it before.
When talking about Xu Tianyin's past, Mijia started chatting with the people on the table, trying to explain it in detail.
Xu Tianyin raised his eyes and asked abruptly: "Where are Ai Rui and An?"
