There were already many people gathered at the pick-up gate. Shen Yan stood in the middle of the crowd. Xia Yu could only follow behind silently. After waiting for about ten minutes, tourists came out one after another pushing their luggage. Some people in the pick-up crowd cheered. Someone ran over for a hug.
Xia Yu didn't know who Shen Yan was coming to pick up until he waved to the crowd and shouted, "Huang Lao!"
"Hey, here it is!" someone in the crowd responded.
Xia Yuxunsheng looked over and saw an old man walking out of the crowd. He was not tall, wearing an old-fashioned woolen felt hat, a smoky gray plaid woolen vest on his upper body, and black trousers on the lower body. He was dragging a suitcase with one hand and hanging it with the other. An old sweater, looking like a little old man who came to S city from a remote place to work.
But Xia Yu knew that he must not be an ordinary person, otherwise he would not have asked Shen Yan to come and pick him up in person. She was not a talkative person and was always watching from the sidelines.
Shen Yan went up to shake hands with him, "Thank you for your hard work, how was the trip?"
"It's okay, the space is spacious, but the food is not good, and my old arms and legs can't sit still." The old man said in a cheerful tone, and seemed to have a very comfortable temper.
Shen Yan smiled and answered immediately, "Flight food is definitely not good, but I have already asked someone to prepare dinner."
The old man's face suddenly darkened after hearing this, and he stepped closer to Shen Yan's ear, "Do you have any wine?"
Shen Yan smiled and said, "Yes, everything is ready!"
Huang Lao said, "Haha, you are the most sensible!"
Xia Yu kept smiling and watching them chatting and laughing as if no one else was around.
Mr. Huang was a cheerful person and said, "How about walking?"
Shen Yan took the luggage from Mr. Huang's hand and said, "The car is outside, please come over here!"
Mr. Huang turned around impatiently, but when he turned his head he saw Xia Yu who had been following Shen Yan, as if he just realized it, "Who is this?"
Shen Yan smiled and said, "My fiancée!"
Huang Lao glanced at Xia Yu deliberately, with a smile of incomparable meaning on his face, "My fiancée, um, okay, okay!" After saying that, he walked forward on his own.
Just as Xia Yu was about to say hello to him, he just walked past her in such a stinging manner. It would be a lie to say he wasn't embarrassed. He was stunned for a moment, standing there blankly looking at Huang Lao's back, but wondering in his heart what he did.
"Follow me!" Shen Yan turned around and said.
They seemed to have something very important. I'm afraid it was related to the head office, so it wouldn't be appropriate to go by myself. Xia Yu still held the folder in her hand, "I won't go!"
She had already thought about taking a taxi back from the airport, which was very convenient. But Shen Yan frowned and said, "If you don't go for a while, who will be the driver if I drink?"
I feel like I am a full-time driver!
Shen Yan drove from the airport, Huang Lao sat in the back seat, and Xia Yu sat in the passenger seat. The old man talked a lot, and his chat with Shen Yan was quite speculative. Xia Yu just needed to be quiet and be a small decoration.
The car drove for more than an hour from the airport, getting increasingly eccentric, and finally stopped at the door of a two-story house in the suburbs.
"arrive."
Someone from the house immediately came out to open the car door for Mr. Huang and get his luggage.
Xia Yu got out of the car by herself and took advantage of the moonlight to take a look at the surrounding environment. The small building had white walls and black tiles, and there was a small vegetable garden at the door, surrounded by a fence.
Shen Yan led Mr. Huang in. When he entered, he found a yard with a patio. The yard was not very big. There was a large shelf built with bamboo. There were many green leaves wrapped around the shelf. Because it was dark at night, it was hard to see the fruits and vegetables. There are still flowers. Under the shelf is a set of stone tables and chairs, and there is a well in the corner not far away.
Across the courtyard is the main hall. There are some old but well-painted Eight Immortals tables and Taishi chairs. There is a whole ink painting hanging in the hall. All the decorations and furnishings are a bit like the style of an old house, but the lighting and framing are very good. The person sitting on the Taishi chair The position was just right to see the moon hanging over the courtyard.
Shen Yan briefly introduced the situation of the house to Mr. Huang, and then said, "The house was temporarily cleaned up. I don't know if you like it or not."
Mr. Huang walked around the hall and finally fixed his eyes on the ink painting.
"Xiao Shen, you are serious."
Shen Yan laughed and said, "You're welcome, Mr. Huang. You're willing to come all the way. It's reasonable for me to do this."
After that, he called the servants out of the house. He knew that Huang Lao was happy, so he only arranged a driver and an aunt. The driver was responsible for driving and shopping, and the aunt was responsible for cooking, cleaning and other housework.
"Because we are in a hurry, there may be some shortcomings. You can stay here first. If you are not satisfied with anything, let me know anytime!" Shen Yan was really patient. The gentle and delicate side
After dinner, there is another restaurant with a large glass window facing the courtyard. The dishes are also very refreshing, mainly vegetables, yam, chrysanthemum, steamed eggs, plus a fish soup, and two kinds of wild vegetables.
The three of them were sitting around the table. In fact, Xia Yu didn't want to sit down at all, but Mr. Huang pulled her along, so she could only keep company. However, she rarely moved her chopsticks and just sat there quietly. Opposite her, Shen Yan and Mr. Huang We had a great conversation and drank a lot of wine.
I drank two bottles of highly aged Moutai in just over an hour.
Xia Yu looked stunned, no one drank like this, but Huang Lao couldn't bear it, and he was in high spirits. Later, he poured Xia Yu a glass and forced her to drink it.
The old man seemed a little unhappy.
"Why, why don't you give me face when you sit here for the first time?"
Xia Yu was speechless, but fortunately Shen Yan took the cup for her in time, "She can't drink. Besides, I won't be able to go back for a while if she drinks again."
"There's no driver here!" Mr. Huang said reluctantly.
Shen Yan smiled modestly and said, "She doesn't know how to drink, so I'll do it for her!" After that, he drank it all in one gulp.
Mr. Huang seemed to be more energetic and filled up Shen Yan's cup again, "What? Protect her?"
"No, I asked her to come with me as a driver!"
"You haven't even gotten married yet, so you already have strict wife control?"
Xia Yu suddenly felt a little out of breath.
Shen Yan's expression did not change, he just stretched out his hand to cover the back of Xia Yu's hand on the table. Xia Yu subconsciously wanted to shrink, but he held it tightly.
"Old Huang is joking."
Seeing the situation, the old man burst out laughing, pointed at him and said, "You kid!"
Xia Yu felt like she was sweating.
Shen Yan's expression remained unchanged.
"So don't embarrass her, she really can't drink!" As she spoke, she gently twisted Shen Ci's fingers. The palms of her hands were filled with heat from the alcohol. Xia Yu was on pins and needles, but she couldn't do anything in front of others.
Mr. Huang stared at Xia Yu and said, "Okay, she can't drink. You drink for her. Three cups are enough."
Xia Yu's heart skipped a beat, and her fingers curled up. She wanted to speak, but Shen Yan pressed her wrist tightly.
"No problem, it's just a word from Mr. Huang!" Then he finished the glass of wine in front of him with one hand, refilled two more glasses, and then drank it.
Xia Yu's hand trembled in his palm, and Shen Yan twisted it twice calmly, "You go outside and wait first, we have something to talk about."
She breathed a sigh of relief and immediately stood up and walked out.
There was no one in the house, the breeze was light and the moon was bright in the yard, so Xia Yu went to sit under the bamboo frame. There were hanging branches and leaves above her head, and scattered starlight filtered through the gaps between the branches and leaves. Her nose was full of the smell of wet soil and plants. .
She liked a place like this very much, which made people feel at ease. She also knew that Shen Yan should have decorated this house according to Mr. Huang's preferences, which was a waste of time.
She turned around and looked at the man again. Through a glass window, Shen Yan was talking to Mr. Huang in the restaurant. He was sitting facing Xia Yu. The two of them were probably talking about business, so he sometimes frowned and sometimes relaxed. At the right time, he will curl up his lips and smile.
The lights in the room were very bright, and in front of Shen Yan were shiny wine bottles and cups. He probably drank too much, and his cheeks were a little flushed, but his skin was not white, so it was not obvious. He was still wearing a blue shirt, but he had changed into another one. The style is not that business-like, with two buttons on the neckline and the sleeves rolled up casually. The smooth lines of the forearms are visible when holding a wine glass.
For no reason, Xia Yu remembered the feeling when he held her finger just now. The palm of his hand was hot and dry. That kind of action inexplicably gave her a little stability in the situation just now.
Watching them raise their cups from time to time, Xia Yu's eyes were fixed on the two wild vegetables just now. The taste is very good, and they should be very good with vegetarian dishes.
That meal probably lasted for more than two hours. It was past midnight, and Xia Yu was almost falling asleep while sitting under the shelf, when there was a sudden movement at the entrance of the hall.
"No need to send it off, go to bed early!"
When Shen Yan's voice came out, Xia Yu immediately stood up and saw that he had walked out of the hall. Mr. Huang was probably drunk and was being supported by the driver and stood in the hall. Shen Yan waved to him again and turned around. Turning around, the smile on his face disappeared and he glanced at Xia Yu who was standing under the pergola.
"Go drive!"
The key had been given to her in advance. Xia Yu immediately walked out and the car was parked outside the door. Before she could react, Shen Yan had already opened the door and sat in the passenger seat. As soon as he got up, he sat on the chair like an uncle. Damn, he took a breath, and then there was no sound. But after a while and seeing no movement next to him, he turned his head.
"Why don't you leave?"
"I have two sobering pills here." Xia Yu stretched out her hand, and there were two pills in her palm.
Shen Yan held her hand, brought it to his mouth, and swallowed the pill. The car started, and the man in front of him suddenly hugged him, his arms wrapped around Xia Yu's waist.
Xia Yu leaned back subconsciously, "What are you doing!" she blurted out, but soon she felt that the chair under her butt began to lift up, and her back pushed forward as if air was being inflated. Soon the seat was adjusted to the optimal position. Eye position.
Xia Yu was a little embarrassed. She felt that she was a little too nervous. The person just helped her adjust the seat. She opened her mouth to say thank you, but the man in front of her suddenly leaned over. Xia Yu had just relaxed and was unsuspecting. He blocked her lips.
The sudden intimacy, she stepped on the brakes and did not dare to let go. She could only bear the smell of wine and cigarettes that kept coming in from Shen Yan's mouth. She was kissed by him for a full minute, and her palms became sweaty before he let go. , stood up slightly and twisted Xia Yu's earlobe.
"Shen Yan, please stop making trouble!" Xia Yu lost her temper after drinking some wine, and Xia Yu was speechless.
"Fasten your seat belt and drive!" The tone was so hot and humid that Xia Yu really wanted to swear!
What the hell is this
But Shen Yan had already stood up and fell back into the leather chair next to him, closing his eyes and taking a breath.
Xia Yu was so angry that she released her brakes and stepped on the accelerator. The 12-cylinder horsepower produced a huge impact. She only heard a roar in the wilderness. Shen Yan was almost shaken to the point of vomiting. What kind of temper is this woman
"Hey, Mrs. Shen, do you want to murder your husband?" Shen Yan opened his eyes and stared at Xia Yu.
"I'm not married yet, so I'm not Mrs. Shen. Don't worry, even if you have an accident today, I'm not a widow." Xia Yu ignored him at all and continued to drive at the original speed.
