The Heartbeat at the Tip of the Tongue

Chapter 21: Chiho in neurasthenia?

Views:

"Seclusion, cleanliness, neurasthenia, obsessive-compulsive disorder?"

Dr. Xie shrugged his shoulders and smiled happily.

"It seems that you have a deep understanding."

"You won't tell him, this is what I said, right?"

"Of course not. As a psychiatrist, I'm best at keeping my mouth shut."

I don't know what happened, Lin Kesong has a feeling of being cheated by the other party.

"Do you know why he is withdrawn?"

"why?"

"Because he can always detect the emotions and attitudes of others from the tone, tone and breathing of others, no matter how well the other person hides. Lies for other purposes, but the fact that these ordinary people can turn a blind eye to the past is infinitely magnified for Jiang Qianfan.”

"Like his sense of taste?"

The slightest blemish could not escape his taste buds.

"Yes. His world is different from that of ordinary people. His demands are more absolute, more so to say... picky. Can only wait, there is one thing or a person to attract his attention, let him from these absolute Feel free."

Lin Kesong shrugged, "Mom... I feel like the person he likes is also very unlucky!"

"why?"

"Because his requirements are so high and absolute. Isn't it supposed to be very hard to be his girlfriend?"

"He won't be nice to anyone easily. But when he's in the mood, he'll give everything he has. That's his absolute."

Doctor Xie straightened up and walked past Lin Kesong.

At that moment, Lin Kesong suddenly felt that Jiang Qianfan in Doctor Xie's mouth was both familiar and unfamiliar.

She didn't have the mood to go to the kitchen, so she went back to her room and packed a few clothes.

She checked the temperature in Washington online and called her uncle to say she was leaving New York. She wanted to send a text message to Song Yiran, but she still didn't send it. Because she couldn't find a reason to tell Song Yiran all her itineraries.

Just as she was sitting at the table, looking up the web to find information on different types of fish and spices, the phone rang suddenly.

When Lin Ke Song saw that the name showed "Song Yiran", he almost fell off the chair.

Thinking of Jiang Qianfan's keen hearing, Lin Kesong walked out of the villa with the phone, came to a tree in the courtyard, crouched there, covered the receiver, and just about to answer, the phone hung up.

Lin Kesong had to call back again.

"Hey, Song Yiran, what are you looking for from me?"

"I'm still wondering if you're going to break up with me, and you won't answer the phone." Song Yiran's voice was still in a lazily tone.

"No. I'm afraid that talking to you will disturb others."

"Who can you quarrel with? Your cooking teacher?"

"Forget it. He's a little nervous." Lin Kesong smiled.

It's just that when she raised her eyes, she was dumbfounded.

Because the one facing her was the terrace of Jiang Qianfan's room. And he was leaning on the terrace, lowered his eyes, his eyes were like a waterfall pouring down, almost crushing Lin Kesong's bones.

impossible! Aren't the big ice cubes invisible

How does it feel that he knows where she is!

This unscientific!

Wait, she's squatting here on the phone, did Jiang Qianfan hear her

Like the phrase "nervous breakdown"

"Is he a nervous breakdown, or is he upset to hear you call me?"

"How is that possible? Hehe...hehe..." Lin Kesong laughed dryly and walked further afield.

"Did you forget to tell me something?"

Song Yiran's voice was still like a joke, but Lin Kesong somehow felt that he seemed unhappy.

Did the uncle tell him that she was going to Washington

But uncle has no reason to report this to Song Yiran!

"What can I forget to tell you!... But I'm going to Washington tomorrow! For a master's birthday party!"

"Really. If I didn't ask you, would you tell me?"

Now Lin Ke Song was sure that Song Yiran was not happy. Really weird.

She, Lin Kesong, is already eighteen years old! Song Yiran is not her guardian, why does she have to tell him everything!

"I don't want to tell you." Lin Kesong decided that she would be arrogant again.

"Then I won't tell you." Song Yiran deliberately imitated Lin Kesong's tone.

"You don't want to tell me what?"

"secret."

After speaking, Song Yiran hung up the phone.

Lin Kesong had a feeling of being choked up and down. She shook the iron door vigorously, and finally decided not to be angry with this scumbag and walked back to her room.

As soon as she looked up, Jiang Qianfan was still leaning on the terrace. With a glass of red wine in his hand, he looked as usual.

Lin Kesong let out a breath, he probably didn't hear it.

The next morning, Lin Kesong was woken up by Nina.

She took a look at her mobile phone and found that it was only half past five in the morning, and the sky outside the window was only dimly lit.

"Nina? Why did you wake me up so early? Isn't the plane at eleven o'clock?"

"Mr. Jiang wants me to wake you up."

"what?"

When Lin Kesong came to the table, he found that today's breakfast was very monotonous. No delicious snacks, no appetizing side dishes, only bland porridge and a plate of pickled cucumbers.

Lin Kesong thought it was because he got up too early, so Nina didn't have time to get ready. But she drank the porridge leisurely for more than 20 minutes. Jiang Qianfan walked down the stairs unhurriedly at six o'clock on time, but nothing else appeared in front of Lin Kesong.

She turned her face sideways, raised her neck and looked at Jiang Qianfan. Because of the angle he looked up at, his legs seemed more slender, and every twist was just right. Not to mention the act of gently tugging at the corner of his clothes... It's really cool.

Even if his eyes can't see, no matter where he goes, he is a proper male god.

It's just that when the male god was sitting opposite Lin Kesong, Nina not only served shrimp porridge, but also green shredded lettuce salad and several desserts.

But Nina had no intention of coming to Lin Kesong at all.

How is this going? Discrimination

Lin Kesong looked at Nina and asked her with his eyes. But Nina quietly stood behind Jiang Qianfan without looking at Lin Kesong.

something wrong! There are tricks!

Mel came to Jiang Qianfan's side with his tablet computer as usual, and he was about to start the morning news broadcast again.

But this time, he just smiled, looked at Lin Kesong and said, "Miss Lin, have you finished your breakfast?"

"Oh... it's almost..."

"Mr. means that from today onwards, it is up to you to read current political news and industry news."

"What? Me?"

"It's good for your English and can help you expand related English words."

Mel handed over the tablet, but Lin Kesong could only take it.

No wonder she got up half an hour earlier! It turned out to be for her to read the news to Jiang Qianfan while he was having breakfast!

Mel chose a piece of news about the Food Safety Act for her, and Lin Kesong stuttered.

She didn't know many words at all, and could only guess the pronunciation based on the spelling.

When she finished reading the first sentence, Jiang Qianfan interrupted her.

"Do you know what it means?"

When the word overflowed from Jiang Qianfan's lips, there was a cold and rigorous feeling.

Lin Kesong had seen this word before, she knew it was related to the law, but facing Jiang Qianfan, she could not remember what it meant for a while.

"Aren't you going to take out your phone and search?"

Lin Kesong pursed his lips, having spoken to Jiang Qianfan so many times, she already knew his temperament. Honesty is much better than cover-up.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jiang, I don't remember."

"Its Chinese interpretation is legislation. Also, your accent is wrong."

Lin Kesong took a breath and reread the first sentence, but she was stopped before she finished the first paragraph.

"What does atives mean?"

Lin Kesong is embarrassed, why does Jiang Qianfan always pick out what she doesn't know and ask her

Is this the Senate or the House of Representatives

"I'm not sure if it's the Senate or the House."

"House. Also mispronounced ative."

Jiang Qianfan has been in the United States for so many years, and he may even have grown up here since he was a child. How could her pronunciation compare to his

Lin Kesong suppressed his dissatisfaction and read the first paragraph.

Lin Kesong read the report that Mel could finish in two minutes for ten minutes, not to mention Jiang Qianfan's many corrections to her.

She felt like she was taking a speaking class. Jiang Qianfan's pronunciation was nice and perfect, but every time he was interrupted, Lin Kesong had a feeling that the other party was not trying to correct him, but was trying to trouble her.

She desperately suppressed her anger, while Mel, who was beside her, kept gesturing to her to relax.

When he started to read industry news later, Lin Kesong was about to go crazy. The whole article contains too many words that she has never even seen before.

For example, "" (bulking agent), "" (hydrolyzed collagen), "" (distillation method), I don't know and it's hard to pronounce, and Lin Kesong can't read it at all.

On the other hand, Jiang Qianfan corrected her over and over again. The requirement of perfect pronunciation was driving Lin Kesong crazy.

"You find it annoying for me to correct your pronunciation?"

Just when Lin Kesong was thinking about smashing the tablet on his head, Jiang Qianfan asked.

Can she tell the truth? Can she tell the truth

The problem is she doesn't dare! This is Jiang Qianfan's site! This guy just saw a psychiatrist last night!

"I'm just annoying myself, why do I always fail to learn." She admitted that she was annoying, but she didn't admit the reason for her annoyance, she didn't believe it, Jiang Qianfan could still hear that she was lying!

"What time is it, Mel?"

"It's nine o'clock."

Only then did Lin Ke Song realize that he had been reading for two and a half hours

"Let's go, go to the airport." Jiang Qianfan got up.

Lin Kesong's throat was smoking with thirst, he grabbed the glass of water in Jiang Qianfan's position and drank it to the bottom.

After drinking it, she guessed that she wondered whether obsessive-compulsive disorder, autism, and cleanliness would be contagious.

Sitting in the car, Jiang Qianfan was silent all the way. Fortunately, Mel sat in the co-pilot's seat and continued to read the news to Jiang Qianfan, otherwise the quiet atmosphere would definitely freeze Lin Kesong completely.

At the airport, Miller dropped the luggage and put it on the cart.

And Mel actually handed over his tablet to Lin Kesong: "Miss Lin, because Mr. has explained some things to me, I have to stay in New York to deal with it, so please take care of Mr. "

"Ah? You're not going?"

If only she and Jiang Qianfan were together... Wouldn't that be frozen into a popsicle

"Yes. If the gentleman needs it, remember to read the news to him." Mel blinked.

Lin Kesong's face collapsed. Although she can read the news to Jiang Qianfan, she can correct the pronunciation of words and expand her vocabulary. The free English teacher enjoys a 1v1 VIP service... But the teacher's requirements are too high, she can't bear it!

Fortunately, the two of them didn't have much luggage, and Lin Kesong was not the kind of girl who had to take all her belongings and make a face mask every night when she went out. Two ordinary suitcases were quite easy to push.

It's just that if she wants to push the suitcase, who will take Jiang Qianfan through the security check to the boarding gate? This place is so big and so empty, you'll bump into people if you're not careful...

At this moment, she heard a familiar voice.

"Hey! You are here!"

A woman in casual clothes, boots and sunglasses walked towards them quickly.

When she was on Jiang Qianfan's arm at night, Lin Kesong realized that she was Elise.

"Chef Quentin? Are you going to Washington too?" "Of course. Chef Montgomery is not only Mr. Jiang's teacher, but also my teacher." Elise smiled when she saw Lin Kesong: "I didn't expect Jiang Is the gentleman taking you to Washington?"

Lin Kesong was stunned, it turns out that Jiang Qianfan and Elise are from the same family! She thought it was only her and Jiang Qianfan on this journey, but she didn't expect Elise to be there.

She likes Jiang Qianfan so much, she should take good care of him along the way, right

"Mel has something to do. If you don't take her, who will push the luggage?"

Jiang Qianfan's answer made Lin Kesong instantly stabbed.

It's been a long time since I've been hit... What a painful realization.

She really thought he was trying to show her face in front of her master, Montgomery. It was just a porter.

"It turns out that Miss Lin is so strong? It's also very troublesome for me to drag this box, why don't I put it together."

Before Lin Kesong could speak, Elise had already put the suitcase on the cart.

Just as Lin Kesong opened his mouth, Elise took Jiang Qianfan to the security check.

Looking at their backs, Lin Kesong could only think of the comment of "a handsome man and a beautiful woman".

And for her, pushing luggage seems to be a matter of course.

Forget it, Elise taught her anyway.

They were in first class. Even Lin Kesong was dipped in the light.

Although there was only a little more than an hour of flying distance in the air, when Lin Kesong sat on the spacious seat and could even lift his legs to avoid the fatigue of the journey, she felt that even being a porter was worth it!

Just along the way, Lin Kesong could feel Jiang Qianfan's indifference.

He would answer Elise's questions from time to time, some topics about cooking skills and handling of ingredients, Lin Ke Song needed to listen very hard to understand. And Jiang Qianfan's face never turned sideways in her direction, as if she really became air.

Lin Ke Song wanted to close her eyes to sleep, but she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Until the plane landed, she just followed Jiang Qianfan and Elise like a shadow.

She was also the one who left the airport with her luggage, and Elise showed no signs of being polite.

Mel had already arranged for someone to pick them up.

The car left the airport and headed for the city.

The city has many World War II or monumental buildings. For example, Washington Monument, Lincoln Memorial, etc.

When they passed by the White House in the distance, Lin Kesong's face was almost pressed against the car window.

"Oh..." She stared at the white building, the marble dazzling in the sunlight.

Elise, who was originally sitting in the back row, suddenly laughed: "Cross, is this your first time seeing the White House?"

"It's the first time I've seen it with my own eyes. Can I visit the White House?"

When Lin Kesong turned her head and looked into Elise through the gap in the chair, she realized that in Elise's eyes, she was like a tourist who had never seen the world.

"Of course. It's just that Mr. Jiang and I are very busy, so maybe no one is free to take you there."

"Oh." Lin Kesong sat upright and looked forward.

She also didn't want to visit the White House with Jiang Qianfan or Elise, she would lose all the fun of playing.

She glanced at Jiang Qianfan, whose expression was still indifferent.

And Elise knew exactly what kind of topics would arouse his interest. Although Elise was expressing her views most of the time, Jiang Qianfan would agree and express her opinions succinctly and concisely from time to time.

They arrived at a luxury hotel, and the mere walk in felt opulent, like a palace.

As soon as she got out of the car, she found that someone pushed her luggage for her.

Elise took Jiang Qianfan to the front desk to confirm the room information.

Lin Kesong stood aside, and a staff member at the front desk greeted her with a smile. The other party had a clean smile, and the small dimples were very friendly.

Not knowing what was going on, Elise asked the front desk staff to verify the room information.

"You must be mistaken. How could Mr. Jiang only book one room?"

"We are sure that Mr. Mel has reserved a suite for Mr. Jiang and Miss Lin." The hotel staff replied politely.

"Mr. Jiang, do you want to confirm with Mel. How could he make such a mistake?" Elise couldn't accept it.

"Mel doesn't make mistakes. He must have his reasons." Jiang Qianfan's voice was indifferent.

Hearing that he had no objection, the hotel staff prepared to send the luggage up.

Lin Kesong tilted his head and handed the passport to the front desk. Only then did he realize that he was in the same room as Jiang Qianfan

Mel doesn't look old, his head is fine.

Elise glanced at Lin Kesong, her warning eyes were too obvious.

Lin Kesong swallowed his saliva, smiled at the dimpled little guy, and asked, "Well, do you have any other rooms?"

Jiang Qianfan, who was already walking towards the elevator, suddenly said, "Mel asked you to take his place. Don't you understand?"

"what?"

At that moment, Lin Kesong suddenly realized. The hotel room was nothing compared to the villa that Jiang Qianfan knew so well, and he needed someone to take care of him by his side.

At this time, the dimpled handsome guy lowered his head and whispered, "Mr. Jiang ordered a deluxe suite with an attached room."

So she lives in the attached room

She thought she had to stay in the same room with Jiang Qianfan! For a long time, she made a mistake!

Jiang Qianfan didn't say a second sentence, and walked into the elevator. Before the elevator door was closed, Lin Kesong hurried in, and his head was caught by the elevator door.

"oops!"

Jiang Qianfan didn't move, his expression was indifferent.

Elise looked away impatiently.

"Miss Elise, do you also stay in this hotel?" Lin Kesong asked.

"No, I have real estate in Washington."

Lin Kesong repeated this sentence in his heart, it's really lofty. Now that you have a place to live here, what are you doing here with us

The hotel staff opened the door for them and pushed the luggage inside. Elise opened her wallet and tipped the other party, very queenly.

Lin Kesong originally thought that there were only two rooms in this so-called luxury suite, but she was completely wrong. In addition to Jiang Qianfan's master bedroom and Lin Kesong's entourage room, there is also a study and a reception room.

Underfoot is a very soft and meticulous carpet, the color is goose yellow, which makes the whole room look warm. The decoration is luxurious European style, with various embossed patterns. Although it looks gorgeous like being in a European court, Lin Kesong can't help but worry that Jiang Qianfan will accidentally hurt himself.

She came to the door of the master bedroom and saw a very spacious double bed from the half-open door. There was a tray on the double bed, which seemed to be chocolate and roses.

High-end hotels are really different. The places where desserts and flowers are placed have a somewhat romantic atmosphere.

Just as Lin Kesong took a half step forward, he saw a hand stretched out and took away the chocolate from the tray.

It was Elise's hand, and she was sitting on Jiang Qianfan's bed.

There was obviously a sofa beside the bed, so why did she sit on the bed instead of sitting on the sofa

Jiang Qianfan took out the blind stick, stretched it, and tapped it lightly on the ground. A section of the blind stick knocked over the bed, the European window sill, and the edge of the sofa, as if to confirm the worthlessness of the room.

"You go two steps forward at nine o'clock. It's the coffee table. There is a set of tea sets on the coffee table." Elise reminded.

"thanks."

A few minutes later, Elise took Jiang Qianfan out of the door and walked into the living room.

"Walk five to six steps from the twelve o'clock direction to the sofa. Go straight to the six o'clock direction, and about twenty steps is the door of the study. Two arm lengths from your right hand is a decorative table... "

Only then did Lin Kesong understand the reason why Elise accompanied Jiang Qianfan into the hotel room—to help him familiarize himself with the new environment.
