Thinking of this, Jian Chengli felt tightness in his chest and his throat seemed to be strangled. Can't breathe at all.
The female publicist sitting next to her held a glass of wine. He didn't notice anything strange about Jian Chengli, so he wanted to pour him wine. Jian Chengli's nose was filled with the pungent smell of a strange woman's perfume. He waved his arm. I was so irritated that I stood up and walked out.
He wanted to breathe. I don't want to stay in this depressing gold-selling cave anymore.
After leaving the private room, it was impossible for him to stand at the door. Just move forward instinctively. Unknowingly, I walked to the public restroom on the second floor and looked up. He looked in front of the sink. A familiar figure stood there.
Lu Yao also came out of the private room. She was bending over and washing her face with cold water from the faucet.
I'm afraid it's the woman in the whole night. Whether it's a female publicist or a female customer. No one dares to wash their face directly with the faucet. Lu Yao was also the first to step in here. A woman without makeup.
She closed her eyes and kept washing her face with cold water. Trying to extinguish the burning tears in his eyes and the restless fire in his heart.
It only takes half a minute to wash. Then she slowly raised her head, and in front of her was a large mirror. Lu Yao had no intention of taking a closer look, but her eyes were fixed on Jian Chengli's face in the mirror.
He stood four steps behind her, looking at her intently.
The two looked at each other with red eyes.
After a long time, Lu Yao turned around and faced the real Jian Chengli. She said out loud, "Drink less, so that your uncle won't talk to you when you get back."
Jian Chengli had a beautiful face with a dazed look. Hearing this, his eyes stared straight at Lu Yao. He opened his thin lips and replied loudly: "You too, you are alone outside and you drink too much." It’s not safe.”
Lu Yao said: "It's okay, Ji Guanxin will take me back."
She didn't drink and knew what she was talking about. He's seen it, hasn't he? For many things, sooner or later the window will be broken.
Lu Yao just felt very tired. Instead of hiding all the time, it would be better to expose it all at once.
This way, she would no longer have to have illusions about him in the future.
When Jian Chengli heard Lu Yao's words, he felt the pain at the tip of his heart, as if someone had picked it up with a needle. The pain was so extreme that he opened his lips slightly and took in a breath of cold air without any trace.
Without any movement on his face, Jian Chengli said, "Are you living at Xu Yingjia's place now?"
Lu Yao said: "No." She looked at him, as if looking at him more often than once, "I live in Ji Guanxin's house."
God knows, she didn't deliberately test Jian Chengli's heart, nor did she want to stimulate him with such words to make sure he didn't care.
Having reached this point, she has no choice but to make it clear once and for all, and then everyone can make a new choice and go their own way starting from today.
His throat was grasped by a pair of invisible hands. Jian Chengli wanted to say something, but found that his lips were open, but no sound could come out.
Lu Yao waited for a few seconds, but when there was no response from Jian Chengli, she opened her pink lips and continued: "By the way, you don't have to worry about the news about drug abuse. Someone should contact you soon. This is a favor returned to you by Ji Guanxin. Misunderstanding After clarification, don’t confront him again.”
Jian Chengli's hands hung by his sides, his fingers curled slightly. After a few seconds, he finally said: "Why are you suddenly with Ji Guanxin?"
It may be that the pain is over, or the pain is so numb, so when Lu Yao faces Jian Chengli, she can reply without changing her expression: "He said he likes me."
Jian Chengli frowned uncontrollably, and the suffocating feeling surged up again. It took a lot of effort for him to ask aloud: "What about you?"
What about her
Lu Yao thought for a moment, then raised the corners of her lips and replied with a smile: "I think the new guy Ji Guan is very good."
He was indeed very kind. He took her out of George Sheng's hands, ran to the hotel to rescue her, and was also willing to help Jian Chengli clarify the rumors of drug abuse.
If he doesn't do this, Lu Yao can accept it. After all, they have been enemies from the beginning. But if he does it, she will definitely accept his kindness and recognize his goodness.
Jian Chengli's fingers, which were just slightly curled up before, were clenched into fists at some point. He looked at Lu Yao and said, "Do you like him too?"
The smile on Lu Yao's face was stiff for a moment, and her mind was a little empty. Just when she was hesitating how to respond, there was suddenly a weight on her shoulders.
Looking sideways, I saw a familiar figure and a familiar face.
Ji Guanxin put his arms around Lu Yao's shoulders and said with a faint smile: "I also said there is a bathroom in the private room. Why did you come outside? Have you told your brother?"
Lu Yao nodded mechanically.
Ji Guanxin then turned to look at Jian Chengli. He looked calm and said with a smile: "I'm sorry about what happened before. If I had known that I would be with Yaoyao, I would never have treated you like this. Just take it for granted. We don’t know each other anymore. I’ll ask someone to find you in Tiancheng later. You can arrange the follow-up news yourself.”
After saying that, he put his arm around Lu Yao's shoulders, pulled her a little closer to his arms, and said dotingly: "Did you hear that? Don't get angry with me over this matter again. I apologized to you. ”
In Lu Yao's impression, she should be smiling.
Jian Chengli looked at the two people standing side by side opposite him. He opened his thin lips and said loudly: "Ji Guanxin, if you really like Yaoyao, treat her better in the future. If you dare to bully her, I will still fall out with you and die." knock."
Ji Guanxin smiled and replied: "Can't you see? I'm scared to death of her right now. Whatever she says is whatever she says. How can I bully her before I care about her?"
He clasped Lu Yao's shoulders with his big hands, looked at her and said, "Tell your brother, am I usually good to you?"
Lu Yao raised her eyes and looked at Jian Chengli opposite, who was also looking at her without blinking.
She suddenly remembered that she had watched him stand with other women for so many years. Once upon a time, she also wanted to use the same method to retaliate against him. But then I thought about it, for something like revenge, the other party has to have himself in mind.
Jian Chengli's affection for her was, at best, the affection of a family member.
It's her own evil intentions, so she can't blame others for being cruel.
With a nice curve on her lips, Lu Yao said to Ji Guanxin: "You are very good to me. I know that. I just told him and you apologized. Let's go back."
No matter how Jian Chengli hurt her in the past, she was still not willing to retaliate in the same way.
Ji Guanxin glanced at Jian Chengli and said with a faint smile: "Then let's go back first. Let's sit down and have a meal together when we have time."
Jian Chengli watched Ji Guanxin and Lu Yao both turn and leave, and when he saw her back again, his heart twisted. It turned out that losing someone was so uncomfortable.
Ji Guanxin took Lu Yao's hand and walked back. On the way, he said aloud, "Do you feel better this time?"
"Yes." Lu Yao lowered her gaze slightly and looked at the dark red carpet under her feet.
Ji Guanxin said: "If anything unpleasant happens in the future, just tell me directly. Why bother showing my face all day long? You see, they all laugh at me because I am afraid of you."
Lu Yao was silent for more than five seconds and suddenly said: "Ji Guanxin."
"Huh?" He turned to look at her.
"Thank you."
Lu Yao didn't look at Ji Guanxin's face, but when she thought of the dirty things in her heart, she felt sorry for him.
Ji Guanxin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "I'm asking you to be nice to me, but I'm not asking you to thank me. Just know how good I am, keep it in your heart, and cook more delicious food for me when you get home." If you drink and give me more smiles, I will be easily satisfied."
Lu Yao said: "Just tell me what you want to eat and I will cook it for you."
She doesn't say too many sweet words, she just wants to try her best to meet all his requests.
Ji Guanxin rubbed the top of her head with his big hands and chuckled: "You want to tie my stomach first, and then my person, right?"
Lu Yao was silent, and he said again: "Scheming."
When the two returned to the private room, Zhang Danqing immediately raised his voice and said, "Look, what did I say? San'er must have gone out to find Yao Mei'er."
After saying that, Mak Ka Fai next to him said, "Hey, can't you stay away from her for even a second?"
People all over the room started to tease Ji Guanxin. Ji Guanxin was in a good mood. He sat down with Lu Yao in his arms and said with a proud expression on his face: "Can you control it or not? Everyone can't eat the grapes because they are sour."
Zhang Danqing said: "At least you should be considerate of us and don't become a well-fed man yourself. You don't know that a hungry man is hungry."
"No, after showing off our affection all night, I'm so sour that I can't even drink any more." Mak Ka Fai said.
Ji Guanxin said: "I really should give you two a pair of Allegro. Why don't you two go out and make money by talking about cross talk?"
Zhang Danqing was thick-skinned and replied with a serious expression: "Why don't I just wait for you to be so arrogant?"
While everyone was laughing, someone took the initiative to raise a glass and said: "I would like to toast my third brother and my sister-in-law. I wish you love and love forever."
Ji Guanxin picked up the wine glass, raised his eyebrows and replied: "I can talk, I like to listen. Come on, third brother, have a drink with you. Your sister-in-law doesn't know how to drink, so I'll drink for her."
Ji Guanxin wanted to take Lu Yao's place, but saw Lu Yao raising her hand to pick up the wine glass in front of her.
He was a little surprised and worried, so he couldn't help but whisper: "It's okay, don't force it if you can't drink."
Lu Yao said: "It doesn't matter if you drink a little, don't ruin everyone's fun."
Ji Guanxin said that it would be okay if he didn't drink, but Lu Yao still felt that he had dignity after drinking.
Sure enough, the only problem between him and Lu Yao was the matter of Jian Chengli being imprisoned for taking drugs. Now that the matter was resolved, she was immediately happy.
Lu Yao held a transparent square glass with one-third of the amber liquid in it. She didn't know what kind of wine it was. She only knew that at this moment, she could only drink to quench the bitterness in her heart.
The rim of the cup was close to her lips, her slender neck raised, and she drank. The wine was cold at first, then as hot as fire.
Ji Guanxin asked her softly: "Are you okay?"
Lu Yao wanted to laugh inexplicably, but in fact, she really laughed.
