The two looked at each other silently for a while, but Shen Muqing didn't intend to reply.
The night is thick, the parking lot is a bit darker than other places, and the lights are not so bright.
As soon as Shen Muqing raised her head, she bumped into his pupils.
The things in those eyes... seem to have many layers, but she can't taste too many things when she tastes it carefully.
"say what?"
After a few seconds of stalemate, Shen Muqing asked, "What can I say?"
Jiang Chen snorted, "Good thing."
Shen Muqing: "..."
She suspects that Jiang Chen will be exhausted with her today, and she doesn't intend to be lenient and let her go.
She lowered her head, pursed her lips and thought for a few seconds: "I don't know how to say it."
"Then speak slowly."
Jiang Chen turned his head to look at her for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled: "Do you care about those two girls?"
Shen Muqing: "..."
She raised her eyes and looked at Jiang Chen very displeasedly: "What do I care about?"
She is like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, and it is starting to explode.
"Whoever you want to talk to is your freedom, I have nothing to care about." She frowned and looked at Jiang Chen: "You don't understand."
"..."
Jiang Chen didn't say anything.
If it were any other time, Jiang Chen might have followed her words, but now, he suddenly didn't want to.
He felt that it was not a good idea to continue like this.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Chen asked, "Are you sure you have no other intentions?"
Shen Muqing looked up at him: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Chen stared at her face for a moment, then shook his head: "It's nothing, let's get in the car."
"oh."
Shen Muqing was even more puzzled by his question, she didn't care about Jiang Chen or anything, and got into the car.
Jiang Chen also sat up.
A few minutes later, Shen Muqing glanced at the speed display in front of his car, and pulled her lips.
"Jiang Chen, drive slowly."
Jiang Chen ignored her, but the speed of the car dropped significantly.
Shen Muqing felt that the air in the car suddenly became a little cramped, so she opened the window.
The wind outside the window is blowing in, and it's still a bit indescribably cold. It's almost winter, and this temperature is normal.
After blowing for a while, Shen Muqing felt that half of her face was frozen, so she quickly closed it.
After closing it, she glanced at Jiang Chen: "I can listen to songs."
"Um."
Shen Muqing found a song she liked very much and came out, and the pleasant singing sounded in the carriage.
As she listened, the phone suddenly vibrated again.
Shen Muqing looked down and saw that it was a message from Yan Qiuzhi.
Yan Qiuzhi: [What's the situation now?]
Shen Muqing: [... It's nothing, I almost had a quarrel just now.]
Yan Qiuzhi: [What's the matter?]
Shen Muqing glanced at the people next to her, then lowered her head and replied: [I'll tell you when I get back, I'm in the car now.]
Yan Qiuzhi: [Okay.]
"Who are you chatting with?"
"Yan Yan."
Shen Muqing said: "She asked me what I had for dinner."
Jiang Chen pulled his lower lip, and said in a low voice: "It's really boring, why doesn't Chen Lunan take good care of his wife?"
Shen Muqing looked at him in bewilderment: "Why, Yanyan can't chat with me anymore?"
"..." Jiang Chen paused and explained, "That's not what I meant."
Shen Muqing blinked: "But you seemed to mean that just now."
Jiang Chen: "..."
It's hard to argue.
The relationship between the two inexplicably broke the ice again, and they reconciled again.
When she returned to the hotel, Shen Muqing thought, in fact, no matter when, Jiang Chen was never really angry with her.
There is nothing even excessive, let alone a trivial matter like today.
Thinking of this, Shen Muqing felt a little difficult again.
Jiang Chen was as nice to her as ever, this kind of kindness was like being treated to a sister next door, not like being treated to a girlfriend at all.
she sighed.
Jiang Chen glanced at the person next to him: "What's wrong?"
Shen Muqing glanced at him through the mirror of the elevator, pretending to be deep and said: "You don't understand."
Jiang Chen: "Of course I don't understand if you don't tell me."
He raised his eyelids and said lazily, "Tell me."
Shen Muqing thought for a while, then looked at him: "Do you envy Yanyan and the others?"
Jiang Chen choked.
He stared at her hesitantly for a few seconds and asked, "Am I crazy? Why should I envy them?"
Shen Muqing: "... oh."
She looked down at her toes and whispered, "But I'm envious."
Jiang Chen didn't hear her muttering clearly, and raised his eyebrows: "What did you say?"
Shen Muqing took a deep breath, and looked at him fiercely: "It's nothing, let me ask you, are you staying here tonight?"
"Won't."
Jiang Chen glanced at her: "I'll send you back to your room and go back."
Shen Muqing relaxed, and looked down at the phone time: "Then why didn't you say it earlier? If you want to go back, what movie should we go to see?"
She said anxiously, "Don't send me up."
Seeing her anxious expression, Jiang Chen suddenly smiled: "It's okay."
He grabbed Shen Muqing's arm, and said in a low voice, "It's only a few minutes away."
Shen Muqing was startled, and looked up at him.
The space in the elevator was limited, although there were only the two of them, but because they were standing so close, Shen Muqing felt that Jiang Chen's eyes were all on her, and even his breath fell on her face.
It was warm and warm, making her face also heat up.
Subconsciously, she lowered her head in a panic.
When he looked down, he happened to see Jiang Chen's hand on his arm.
His fingers are slender and his palm is big. When he holds it, he can completely encircle her wrist.
Through the clothes, the heat from his palm was transmitted continuously.
For a few seconds, Shen Muqing's heart beat faster, and her heart became hot.
Her lips moved, trying to say something, but she seemed unable to say anything.
After a few seconds of silence, Shen Muqing whispered, "Here we are."
The elevator just arrived.
Jiang Chen didn't feel any difference, and raised his eyes lazily: "Let's go."
Shen Muqing did not refuse.
As for the hands that were holding each other, Jiang Chen let go of them naturally when they got out of the elevator.
He was calm and breezy, but Shen Muqing was the only one who had turmoil in his heart.
Thinking of this, she felt a little bit uncomfortable.
Why was she the only one stuck in it? Why didn't Jiang Chen feel anything.
When he reached the door of the room, Jiang Chen raised his chin: "Open the door."
Shen Muqing pouted and opened the door.
The room was filled with lights, and Jiang Chen followed her in, leaving the door open.
He looked around and looked at Shen Muqing: "Then I'm leaving."
Shen Muqing nodded: "Be careful."
"Know."
Jiang Chen stretched out his hand and rubbed her hair: "Why are you in such a bad mood today? Who offended you in the crew?"
Shen Muqing shook her head, "Who dares to offend me."
She smiled and said, "I'm the one under Mr. Jiang's protection."
Jiang Chen nodded without denying it at all: "Just know." He glanced at the person in front of him: "Call me or my assistant if you need anything, it's the same."
"Um."
Jiang Chen didn't say much, "Just say what you want next time."
He said: "I will send it to you."
"knew."
Seeing him like this, Shen Muqing's brain suddenly became hot: "What about after that?"
Jiang Chen walked to the door and looked back at her for no apparent reason: "After what?"
Shen Muqing is not guilty at this meeting, maybe she has more courage, she looked at Jiang Chen with burning eyes, and said seriously: "Just in case you get a girlfriend someday, can you give it to me too?"
"..."
Jiang Chen stopped, holding the doorknob and looking at her.
Shen Muqing didn't avoid his gaze, she just looked at him directly.
After a while, Jiang Chen suddenly laughed: "So it's because of this that you have been uncertain this night?"
"... I just thought of it suddenly, it has nothing to do with tonight."
Shen Muqing didn't feel guilty at all and said, "Isn't it normal to ask?"
Jiang Chen snorted, but didn't answer her directly.
"Wait until I have a girlfriend."
Shen Muqing: "..."
She choked up, thinking that Jiang Chen was a real chicken thief, and he was not fooled.
"Okay, let's go."
Jiang Chen nodded, stretched out his hand and pinched her face as punishment.
After the door closed, Shen Muqing patted her hot cheeks, and lay back on the bed in frustration.
She must be crazy, why would she want to use this method to test Jiang Chen? !
*
When Yan Qiuzhi called, Shen Muqing was reflecting.
"Tell me, what did you tell Jiang Chen?"
Shen Muqing recounted what happened at the entrance of the cinema, and asked a little nervously, "Did Jiang Chen find anything?"
Yan Qiuzhi was silent for a while, feeling a little headache: "What did he say?"
"He just asked me what I care about?"
Shen Muqing said innocently: "Then I definitely can't say that I care about those two girls talking to him. Is it not normal for me to be like this?"
Shen Muqing felt that she was inexplicable.
Obviously, she didn't react that much when other girls talked to Jiang Chen before, but now that she knows her feelings, she feels that she has become a jealous bucket, she will be angry and jealous, and her mood has become cloudy .
What Jiang Chen said just now was not wrong at all, she was quite uncertain this night.
Yan Qiuzhi: "..."
She choked up and said in a low voice, "Is this emotion the same for everyone?"
"People in love are like this. It's normal to worry about gains and losses."
She asked, "After that, what else did you say?"
Shen Muqing rubbed her face: "I went back to the hotel after that, when I just left, I asked him if he would still treat me so well if he had a girlfriend in the future?"
After she finished speaking, she asked selfishly: "Is what I said very white?"
Yan Qiuzhi was amused by her.
She couldn't help laughing and said: "Where is the white lotus? It's normal, Jiang Chen doesn't have a girlfriend, it's appropriate for you to ask now, but if he has a girlfriend, it's not appropriate for you to ask."
Shen Muqing: "Oh."
Yan Qiuzhi smiled: "Then what did he say?"
"Let me stop thinking wildly, I will answer this question after he has a girlfriend." Shen Muqing expressed her anger: "What kind of stupid answer is this?"
Yan Qiuzhi raised her eyebrows, and said in a low voice, "You should be lucky, he said so."
"how?"
"Then if he said something else, wouldn't you be more sad?"
Shen Muqing thought about it, and it seemed that this was really the case.
"All right."
She said sadly: "I think it's fine if I confess my confession in one go."
Yan Qiuzhi: "I support you."
After Shen Muqing said this, she became cowardly: "Let's forget it, what if he refuses to confess, it's so embarrassing."
She thought for a while: "I'd better try again."
"..." Yan Qiuzhi was not surprised by her decision, she was silent for a few seconds, and could only express her support to Shen Muqing: "Come on, I will always support you."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Muqing put down her phone, took her pajamas and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After eating hot pot, my body is full of hot pot smell.
She knew her room was safe and had nothing to fear.
While taking a bath, Shen Muqing suddenly thought of Jiang Chen's behavior just now.
When staying in a hotel, there are always surprises.
Of course, Shen Muqing has never encountered it before, but one of her colleagues has encountered it before.
The female artist's room was entered and turned over, making it a mess. It was also on the hot search news at the time. In the end, the person who entered was found out to be a crazy male fan.
From then on, as long as Jiang Chen sent her back.
Whether it's at home or a hotel, Jiang Chen will deliver it to the door, and then go in and take a look around to make sure there are no traces of strangers, and he will leave only after he is sure it is safe.
Thinking of this, Shen Muqing couldn't help but bend her lips.
She seemed to have really enjoyed Jiang Chen's countless small benefits since she was a child.
When Shen Muqing came out after taking a shower, it was still early.
She didn't send a message to Jiang Chen either, it would take two hours to drive here from them, so she wasn't in a hurry.
…
On the other side, Jiang Chen went straight back at high speed.
While driving, he inexplicably thought of someone who had been wrong all night.
In fact, Jiang Chen couldn't guess what was going on with her for a while, but he seemed to be able to sense it vaguely.
He frowned and thought for a while, then raised his eyes to look at the road ahead.
Just when Cheng Zhan's phone call came, Jiang Chen called out.
"What's up?"
Cheng Zhan: "Drink?"
Jiang Chen: "...I'm still on the highway."
Cheng Zhan was silent for a few seconds, and asked with certainty, "Will Shen Muqing go?"
"Um."
Hearing this, Cheng Zhan sneered and taunted him: "I didn't say, how long are you going to delay?"
He didn't wait for Jiang Chen to answer, and directly complained: "In high school, she was said to be too young, wait until she graduated. After graduation, Shen Muqing went abroad to play for two months, and no one could see her. You said you would confess your love in college, but you didn't know it until you graduated from college." without."
He paused for two seconds, probably to prepare Jiang Chen for psychological injury: "Are you still going to tell Shen Muqing about this?"
To be honest, they knew Jiang Chen was special to Shen Muqing very early on.
Although we all grew up together and have similar feelings, there are still differences in the end. For example, Cheng Zhan is different from Shen Muqing and Yan Qiuzhi. He can help, but he will never leave his most important things for two people. All the way to rush over.
If the two ask themselves for help, when Cheng Zhan is too busy, he will definitely ask his assistant or someone under him to go.
But Jiang Chen won't.
As long as it's about Shen Muqing, unless he can't come back from abroad, he can personally drive a few hours to deliver her a small cake, or even send her a piece of fucking chicken soup.
That's the difference.
Jiang Chen really didn't know what to say for a while.
He said, "Didn't you hear what she said last time?"
Cheng Zhan: "Which time?"
Jiang Chen: "Graduation."
Cheng Zhan: "... how long has it been, do you still remember?"
"..."
Cheng Zhan said nothing to him: "Forget it, you deserve it."
He also doesn't like to talk about such things: "I just want to remind you, I heard from my mother when I got home today that Aunt Shen is planning to find a blind date for Shen Muqing, and she is planning to find a high-quality young man."
Jiang Chen: "She won't go." Cheng Zhan snorted: "Aunt Shen insisted, do you think she will go?"
Jiang Chen: "..."
He glanced at the road ahead, and said concisely: "Hang up first, go back and talk."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen increased the speed of the car.
After getting off the highway, Jiang Chen belatedly remembered the phone call just now.
He and Shen Muqing didn't delay for such a long time on purpose.
Cheng Zhan said he would not confess his love, no.
Jiang Chen prepared several times, and wanted to talk to her, but every time he got sidetracked because of some messy things, and if he didn't talk about it, she could give Jiang Chen a heavy blow every time.
When Shen Muqing was in high school, Jiang Chen was in college.
At that time, it was rare for him to go to her school and pick her up from school, only to hear her bouncing around gossip about the school, that gossip... quite poignant.
She told Jiang Chen that a classmate had a puppy love at school and was caught by the teacher.
Jiang Chen took advantage of the situation and asked her, would you fall in love early.
Shen Muqing didn't want to say it, of course not, she would never fall in love early. Her puppy love will be caught by the teacher, and her mother will break her legs.
Because of these words, Jiang Chen cut off her thoughts during her three years in high school.
When she graduated, Shen Muqing went abroad to play for more than two months. Apart from occasionally sending them messages and calling to see the scenery, she was so happy that she didn't even remember that she still had this circle of friends.
Jiang Chen naturally would not mention this matter.
In college, they were the same college.
But when she went, Jiang Chen and others were already graduate students, and they didn't have that much time to take care of her.
During her freshman year, Shen Muqing indulged in various clubs and enjoyed college life.
Jiang Chen thought, wait a little longer.
After this, she waited until she graduated from university. When she graduated, because Yan Qiuzhi entered the entertainment circle, Shen Muqing told him that she would give Yan Qiuzhi a backstage. She also signed a contract with an entertainment company. Of course, when she signed the contract, Jiang The minister accompanied me.
Then there will be a contract that is not allowed to fall in love.
Contracted artists cannot fall in love.
If she wanted to get rid of it, she could do it, but in the end she was fine, and signed it readily and directly.
After signing, Jiang Chen asked her, why not remove that clause, does she not want to fall in love
Shen Muqing told him very seriously that she didn't want to.
She said that she will work hard in her career and not fall in love for at least three years, so there is nothing to worry about, and she has no one she likes.
The words of someone I don't like really hit Jiang Chen's heart, and he couldn't recover for a long time.
When he recovered, he also gave Shen Muqing a hint.
But she didn't react at all, and occasionally looked at him with very inexplicable eyes, with a face-Jiang Chen, are you crazy, what are you doing again.
Under such circumstances, even if Jiang Chen wanted to say something, he was suppressed by her reaction.
Over time, it became what it is now.
When she returned to the city, Shen Muqing sent a message.
Jiang Chen looked down and smiled suddenly.
Still have a conscience.
Shen Muqing: [I calculated the time, have you entered the urban area now?]
Jiang Chen: [Well, we're almost home.]
Shen Muqing: [Alright, then you get home and rest early.]
Jiang Chen: [Okay.]
Jiang Chen didn't go home, but went directly to the bar.
Cheng Zhan stared at him for a while, then laughed, "Drink."
Jiang Chen didn't refuse, and drank what he was holding in one gulp.
"Why is it you?"
Cheng Zhan raised his eyebrows: "Who else do you want?"
"Where are Chen Lunan and the others?"
Cheng Zhan: "...not coming."
Jiang Chen glanced at him, and laughed: "Oh, are you making Yueming angry again?"
Cheng Zhan: "Shut up."
He felt that the woman was really inexplicable, and obviously he didn't say anything or do anything, but he was able to drive him out of the house directly.
Cheng Zhan expressed a headache.
The two lonely old men can only "keep each other warm" at this time.
Who made them suffer the most.
*
Shen Muqing didn't know that Jiang Chen was in such good spirits that night that he even went to the bar.
She found out the next day.
A friend in the circle of friends posted a group photo of Jiang Chen and Cheng Zhan. The two were sitting in a box, under the flickering lights, their facial contours were outlined, and they looked a little seductive.
That person can be considered in their circle, a rich second generation who often hangs out in bars.
He posted this in his circle of friends just to express his emotion - he said that he did not expect to meet Jiang Chen and Cheng Zhan drinking in the middle of the night, and he also expressed his emotion that these two drink well.
For some reason, Shen Muqing subconsciously focused on the three words of drinking well.
She vaguely felt that something was not quite right.
Does Jiang Chen drink well
It seems to be really good.
If she remembered correctly, the reason why Jiang Chen started the amateur bar business was because he liked to drink and had a good capacity for alcohol.
So here comes the question--the night when the two of them had a misunderstanding some time ago, how long did she and Jiang Chen drink?
Shen Muqing tried hard to think, but couldn't remember.
She only remembered that she drank a lot, but she really forgot how long Jiang Chen had been drinking.
Shen Muqing rubbed her head, she really couldn't remember.
She sighed, and simply gave up.
She stared at the phone for a while, then lowered her head to send a message to Jiang Chen.
Shen Muqing: [Your physical strength is pretty good.]
It wasn't that she wanted to be so eccentric on purpose, but she just felt that Jiang Chen drove two hours from her place on high speed to go back, and in the middle of the night, he could still go to the bar for another night, which was not a good thing for physical strength.
After sending it, Jiang Chen didn't immediately reply to her message.
Shen Muqing did the math, guessing that he was still sleeping.
She put away her phone and went to the set with acridine.
Jiang Chen saw her message when he woke up at twelve noon.
He responded with a question mark.
Shen Muqing: [Photo.jpg.]
What she sent was a photo of Jiang Chen and Cheng Zhan drinking in a bar. He didn't change his clothes, it was the same one he had when he went to find her.
Jiang Chen twitched the corner of his lips: [Didn't you already know?]
Shen Muqing: [Know what?]
She is baffled.
Jiang Chen bowed his head and typed: [I am physically strong.]
Shen Muqing: [? ? ?]
Shen Muqing: [How would I know?]
She didn't do anything to Jiang Chen, how could she know if Jiang Chen's physical strength was good or not.
Shen Muqing stared at the phone with wide eyes, and suddenly felt something was wrong.
no.
When did the conversation between her and Jiang Chen become so dangerous? !
Whether this kind of physical strength is good or not is something the two of them can talk about! !
Thinking of this, Shen Muqing's ears suddenly turned red.
Acridine passed by and looked curiously: "Sister Qingqing, why are your ears so red?"
Shen Muqing covered her phone, looked up at her: "Why are my ears red?" Acridine pointed at her ears, and said solemnly, "It's just very red."
She said, "If you don't believe me, ask Teacher Zhang."
Zhang Xinhan also happened to pass by. When he heard this, he really looked at her ear seriously: "Sister Qing, she is really red."
Shen Muqing: "..."
She glared at the two people in front of her: "It's too hot."
Acridine is unclear, so: "The weather is getting cold now, where is the heat, Sister Qingqing."
Shen Muqing: "Shut up."
She said fiercely: "Stop talking."
Yaya:"… "
She shut her mouth instantly.
Shen Muqing stared at the phone for a while, but Jiang Chen hadn't replied to her message yet.
She was playing with her mobile phone so bored that she couldn't even eat the meal in front of her.
After a while, the phone vibrated.
Shen Muqing immediately dropped her chopsticks to look at the message from Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen: [You really don't know?]
Shen Muqing: [... I should know?]
Jiang Chen: [Probably.]
Shen Muqing: [... You don't understand.]
What can she know.
After a while, she picked up her mobile phone and asked: [I know what kind of physical strength you mean?]
Jiang Chen: [? What do you think I am talking about?]
Shen Muqing: […]
She felt that it was better for her not to speak.
The phone was quiet for a while, and not long after, Jiang Chen's message came again.
This time, he didn't talk about fringe topics with Shen Muqing.
Jiang Chen: [Have you eaten?]
Shen Muqing: [I'm eating, are you just getting up?]
Jiang Chen: [Yes.]
Shen Muqing thought for a while, and said a few words: [Drinking too much alcohol is not good, you should drink less in the future.]
Jiang Chen lowered his head and smiled: [Okay.]
For some reason, looking at the word he sent, Shen Muqing seemed to feel the softness that belonged to Jiang Chen.
This kind of softness seems to only be given to myself.
She stretched out her hand, rubbed her eyes, and looked at the phone screen with a gentle look in her eyes.
After eating, Shen Muqing looked at her phone for a while.
The staff on one side were gossiping about a certain young couple that was made public in the circle.
Shen Muqing listened to it and found it quite interesting.
Thinking about it, she told Jiang Chen what she heard.
After sending a few long paragraphs of text, she waited for Jiang Chen's comment.
She didn't receive the comment, but instead she received a slightly puzzled sentence from Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen: [Do you want to fall in love?]
Shen Muqing: [... Why do you ask this?]
Jiang Chen: [Intuition.]
Shen Muqing wanted to refute, but after typing, she suddenly deleted it.
She thought about it for a while, and felt that it would not be impossible to answer directly.
At least, let Jiang Chen know a little bit, right
Thinking about it, she suddenly became more confident.
Shen Muqing: [Yeah, I want to fall in love.]
In order not to let Jiang Chen make fun of her, she continued: [I'm almost twenty-five years old, it's abnormal not to want to fall in love, don't you?]
Jiang Chen: […]
Shen Muqing: [What does the ellipsis mean, you really don't want to fall in love? You are so old, don't you have a woman who makes your heart fall in love?]
Shen Muqing: [No way, you really don't have one? Then tell me what type of person you like.]
Shen Muqing: [Jiang Chen, why didn't you reply to my message! You don't like men like Aunt Jiang suspects, do you? !]
This is if you like men.
Then she is not going to die alone.
Jiang Chen answered the phone, and after hanging up, he saw her series of messages.
His eyelids twitched, he gritted his teeth, bowed his head and replied to her: [Next time you come back, I will tell you what kind of person I like.]
