Endless Fall

   Chapter 193 PL Life after Life

   Friday evening.

   Lin Jiao, who no longer had to cover up her relationship, went to the parking lot with the rest of her colleagues and took the big G that Pei Zhi had just changed two days ago.

   She adjusted the seat: "Thanks to you, I added the WeChat of two colleagues today."

   "Why didn't you refuse?"

   "Don't PR, design, operation and planning need to be connected? They use work as an excuse, and I can't refuse."

   Since being recognized by them on Tuesday, many employees have made friends with her through work.

   She can refuse the departments that have nothing to do with it, but she really can't if you need to connect. After all, it will be much more convenient to have WeChat.

   "Is it bothering you?" Pei Zhi leaned over, his slender fingertips hooked up the seat belt and fastened it with a 'click'.

   "That's not it." She took out a bottle of juice from the storage box: "They don't often chat with me."

   "If anyone bothers you frequently, tell me in time and I'll let Qu Shao handle it."

   "How to deal with it?"

   "It depends on the situation." Pei Zhi stepped on the accelerator and left Sheng Heng's parking lot first: "If it is not particularly serious, a warning will be given."

   "Seriously?"

   "Dismissal." He glanced at the navigation and drove to the road on the right: "Sheng Heng doesn't need employees who don't do business."

  Lin Jiao chuckled: "There shouldn't be." They didn't rush to offend her either.

   "Better not." Pei Zhi lit a cigarette while waiting for the traffic lights: "Jiaojiao, are you hungry?"

   "Not hungry."

   "Then let's eat in Changning?"

  Lin Jiao tightened the bottle cap: "Okay." She played a relaxing music and rested on the back of the seat.

  The afterglow of the sunset dissipated on the way, and the sound of navigation accompanied them to Changning.

  The old streets of the ancient town have a unique flavor. Lush trees are planted on both sides of the road, and LED lights are hung between the trees.

   Walking along the stone road, many vendors selling accessories and snacks crowded on both sides, attracting tourists in different ways.

  The sound of their hawking is one after another, quite a lively scene, and it is easy for people to abandon the hustle and bustle of the city and calm down.

  Lin Jiao stopped in front of the octopus **** stall.

   She looked at the small **** who were moved by the fine sign, and her stomach made a light 'gurgling' sound: "Boss, how many are there?"

   "Six."

   "Then I want two."

   "Wait a minute." The boss put them into cartons separately and spread them with Muhua fish and salad dressing: "Twenty in total."

   Pei Zhi took out his mobile phone and scanned the code.

   He took the small **** that Lin Jiao handed him, and forked each piece into his mouth with a thin bamboo skewer, followed her while eating.

   Their outstanding looks have attracted the attention of many tourists, and occasionally they can hear a few words like 'good match'.

   Lin Jiao, who was all about eating, didn't pay attention to the gazes of others, and stopped at a stall before she walked too far.

   "Pei Zhi, I want to eat this." She pointed to the squid skewers on the iron plate, her eyes were slightly bright, and her appetite was obviously aroused.

   "How many strings do you want?"

   "Ten strings, we each have five strings."

   Pei Zhi picked ten bunches of squid whiskers and handed them to the boss, asking him to put less chili peppers while asking the price.

   Receiving the gaze of a greedy cat, he whispered in her ear: "You have three days left in your period, so you can't eat too spicy."

  Lin Jiao pursed her lips: "Okay." Her soft voice was like a hook, which made his heart itch.

   Pei Zhi, with a restless heart, carried the squid skewers in the lunch box and foraged for the little greedy cat.

   They bought cold noodles, fried potatoes, and baked gluten and other snacks, and sat down to eat slowly at the wooden table behind the kushikatsu stand.

   "Which one do you think is the best?" Lin Jiao wiped the red oil from her lips and took a few sips of the milk tea.

   "Steel squid, how about you?"

   "Same." She chewed the pearls of the Q bomb: "How many more strings will we buy when we go back?"

   "Well." Pei Zhi's eyes fell on her lips, and he couldn't help but peck: "There is still oil."

   "Are you still kissing if you have oil?"

   "I'll clean it up for you."

  Lin Jiao glared at him: "Excuse me." She threw away the empty milk tea cup and walked forward alone.

   But before he took two steps, his warm palm covered the back of his hand, quietly clasping her fingers.

   She pressed down the corner of her raised mouth, approached his arm a little, facing the evening wind, and walked down the unique old street.

  There is a river at the end of the old street. In the open space on the bank of the river, three or two tourists gather together and study the Kongming lanterns.

   "Beautiful." Pei Zhi led her to the booth and asked her opinion, "How many to buy?"

   "One, I want to put it with you."

   "Okay." He borrowed a marker from the stall owner and handed it to her after paying: "Write your wish."

  Lin Jiao unpacked the Kongming lantern, carefully unfolded it, and placed it on the chair.

   She pulled out the pen cap and wrote down a line of words that made Pei Zhi happy in every possible way.

  —PL, life after life.

   "Let's put it over there." She returned the marker to the stall owner and walked to the right with the Kongming lantern.

   Pei Zhi squeezed the wire ring under the Kongming lantern, first passed the wire ring out of the wax hole, then bent the wire ring to make it stick to the wax, and finally turned the candle over and put it on carefully.

   He took out the lighter in his pocket, lit the candle and let it burn for a while: "Jiaojiao, you grab the top with both hands."

  Lin Jiao obeyed: "Can you let it go?"

   The pale yellow light poured out and sprinkled on the cheeks that were as moist and tender as lychees.

   The shallow light reflected in the depths of her pupils was seen by Pei Zhi, who hugged her waist from behind and kissed that face lightly.

   "Okay." He motioned Lin Jiao to let go.

  The gradually rising Kongming lanterns carry their wishes and pull the distance from the ground.

   They watched the lamp melt into the sea of ​​​​lights, adorning the dark night with a touch of warm light, blooming all the beauty like stars.

  When the wind blows, a few kongming lanterns swaying to the old street, connecting with the street lamps on the ground, elongated one after another, and then accompany them on the way back.

   Lin Jiao, who was in the co-pilot, carried the bag of iron-plate squid and was carried to the hotel by Pei Zhi.

   They finished the check-in procedure at the front desk, took a room card to the top of the building, and found the room number on the card according to the sign.

   A 'beep' sounded, and Pei Zhi stepped forward, inserted the room card into the card slot, and pressed the light switch.

   He closed the door, stood in front of the sofa, took off the black coat, and sat down with Lin Jiao in his arms: "Is the squid cold?"

"not yet."

   "Then you eat first, and then take a bath after eating."

  Lin Jiao picked up the first bunch of squid whiskers, leaned in his arms and looked around, looking at the furnishings in the house.

  It was also at this time that she realized that there was only one bedroom in the suite: "Pei Zhi, why didn't you book a two-bedroom room?"

   "Don't you want to sleep in a room with me?"

  "We are not love..."

   Pei Zhi grabbed the words: "But it's better than a couple." He put his chin on her shoulder: "Don't worry, I won't mess around tonight."
