Shen Mu saw Ji Nuan sitting on the balcony from a distance. He smiled and raised the meat skewers in his hand to say hello to Ji Nuan, and motioned to Ji Nuan to come down and eat with everyone.
Ji Nuan smiled and waved her hand. Shen Mu continued to wave to her and even said a few words to a few people around her. Then the group of people who were having a barbecue all waved to Ji Nuan and kept shouting for her. Come down and have some food and join in the fun.
Ji Nuan originally wanted to say that she had just taken a shower, and if she went out to eat barbecue, she would smell like barbecue all over her body, but everyone was so enthusiastic. She had just returned home, and it was a time when she needed human contact, so she couldn't be too withdrawn or too Unsociable, after thinking about it, I turned around, picked up a thin coat and walked out.
The weather was very hot, but the sea breeze at night was still a bit cool with a damp smell. As soon as Ji Nuan passed by, he was stuffed with a large amount of already grilled meat skewers. After Ji Nuan greeted everyone, he sat on a bench nearby. on the street, chatting and joking with people walking by from time to time.
Shen Mu came over, sat next to Ji Nuan, and gave her a newly opened can of beer: "Would you like to drink it?"
"I rarely drink cold drinks in the past few years."
Shen Mu nodded and did not force it. He put the wine back and took a sip himself. Then while eating the meat skewers, he looked at the endless sea in the dark night and said quietly: "Time flies so fast. In the blink of an eye, three years have passed." It's been like this, I really didn't expect that Mo..." He paused for a moment: "I really didn't expect that Mr. Ji, you have really changed a lot now. The meeting we had on the plane returning to China last time made me think that everything seemed to have returned. Three years ago, nothing changed, but now it seems that I have to admit that you are really different from before."
The pause he just made was just a habit of calling Ji Nuan "Mrs. Mo", but he probably suddenly realized it, so he changed his name again and called him "Mr. Ji".
As if Ji Nuan didn't hear the change in his tone, she just smiled and handed him a large handful of meat skewers: "I can't eat so much, please help me eat."
Shen Mu smiled, took it, but did not eat it. Instead, he placed it on a piece of clean white oil paper next to the bench. Then, while drinking, he sat closer to Ji Nuan.
Ji Nuan didn't shy away from it. Anyway, he and Shen Mu were old acquaintances, and he knew how to measure things.
Until Shen Mu came closer and said in a voice that only she could hear: "Are you really not planning to have anything to do with Mr. Mo anymore?"
Ji Nuan smiled and did not answer. She only asked the person passing by for a can of room temperature beer. After opening it, she clinked the glass with Shen Mu. After taking a sip, she said calmly: "I have eaten tonight. Now, I can’t eat much, so just sit here for a while. Do you want me to drink a few more cans with you?”
Shen Mu brought up the wine and touched it with her. Seeing Ji Nuan's decisive attitude, he didn't even plan to talk about this topic anymore, so he didn't say anything more at all. After the two drank a can of beer together, Ji Nuan Nuan no longer drinks or eats. He just sits here blowing the sea breeze and watching the lively crowd around the barbecue.
From time to time, the person in charge of a certain Haicheng real estate company sat over and talked to her. Ji Nuan smiled and chatted for a few words. She didn't go back until it was almost nine o'clock.
When she was going back, a young man happened to be on the way with her. The two of them walked towards the holiday villa in that direction, chatting casually while walking.
When she was approaching the villa, Ji Nuan accidentally stepped on a pebble that rolled from nowhere on the ground and almost fell again. The person next to her reached out to support her. Ji Nuan smiled, thanked her and pulled her hand away.
Just like this, you said a few polite words to me, and the other person's palm seemed to still have the touch of the white and soft wrist that he had just held when he supported her. Seeing Ji Nuan again under the lights of the holiday night, even if Just a very ordinary smile but still looking forward to the glory, his head was hot and he suddenly asked: "Although it is not polite to discuss a woman's age, Mr. Ji, you are now of marriageable age, right?"
Ji Nuan's face didn't change: "Really? Nowadays, many women don't plan to get married after they are thirty years old. How old am I? How can I be considered marriageable?"
"Haha, what I mean is, I haven't heard that Mr. Ji has any boyfriends who are dating. I wonder if Mr. Ji is too low-key now and has not made his relationship public, or is he really still single?"
Ji Nuan smiled and raised her hand and shook her fingers slightly, indicating that she wanted to keep it secret: "Don't say it, don't say it."
"Is it possible that there is really a man you like? Isn't it possible that he is not in the business world and it is not convenient to introduce him?"
Ji Nuan still had a mysterious smile on her face, and successfully blocked the other party's desire to say something about pursuit. Once he knew that she might not be single, the other party couldn't say anything more, so he could only say a few words. He said some blessings politely and regretfully, until he walked Ji Nuan to the door of the villa, said goodbye directly, and turned around to go to the nearest holiday villa behind.
Seeing the man leaving, Ji Nuan raised her eyebrows, took off her thin coat that was stained with the smell of sea breeze, held it in her hand, turned around with ease and was about to walk into the villa.
As soon as she walked to the door, she suddenly saw a figure standing there. She paused in her steps, and the moment she raised her eyes, she met Mo Jingshen's gaze directly, and ran into a pair of familiar yet unfamiliar dark eyes. .
Ji Nuan froze as she opened her legs. When she walked over just now, she didn't even notice that Mo Jingshen was here.
There are many villas in this resort area, and many people live in each villa. She really doesn't know which one Mo Jingshen lives in. After all, he didn't stay here last night. Although he just saw it tonight Shen Mu was shocked, but subconsciously she still instinctively thought that Mo Jingshen had left.
But he just stood there.
It was even more obvious that he must have heard the conversation between her and the man while they were walking.
Ji Nuan was stunned for a moment and then came to his senses. He thought it was a coincidence that he bumped into someone while passing by. He nodded politely and distantly to him, but did not call him Mr. Mo, nor did he call him by his name.
Mo Jingshen stood there without making any move because of her nod.
Ji Nuan caught a glimpse of a cigarette between his fingers. Although it had been lit, he was not in a hurry to smoke it. White smoke was lingering in front of him. The man looked at her through the smoke, his eyes clear.
In Ji Nuan's impression, Mo Jingshen knew how to smoke, but he rarely smoked, or maybe she had never seen him smoke at all after being together for so long.
I didn’t expect that he would actually carry a cigarette with him now.
When she was playing darts today, she felt a very faint scent of tobacco on him, but she didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
