Endless Fall

  Chapter 71 Not asking for anything in return

   "Where's the little niece?" Chu Yuzhou didn't see the figure after drinking for a while, and joked, "She went to the toilet and vomited?"

   "She went to Jiang Ye."

   "Date so late?"

   "No." Lin Jiao held the fruit plate, forked an apple and put it in her mouth: "Jiang Ye is in the hospital."

"what's the situation?"

   "Stomach bleeding."

   "That's not a big problem." Chu Yuzhou breathed a sigh of relief for his little niece when he heard that he was not in a car accident.

   He embraced Xia Nanrui's waist and joked, "Speaking of which, her progress is too slow."

   "She's not as good as you." Shen Yi looked at him as if he was looking at a fool with little roots.

  Unfortunately, Chu Yuzhou, who had drank to the top, thought he was complimenting himself: "There is no way, who will make us love each other?"

  Shen Yi: "…"

   is about the same as having a relationship with your money.

   "Oh, I also want to fall in love." Zhou Yan, who had just broken up, saw that he had a beautiful woman in his arms, and his heart was also panicked.

   "Young Master Zhou, can you take a break?"

   "I've been off for a week."

   "A week is long?" Shen Yi raised Erlang's legs: "How about I've been single for 28 years?"

   "You haven't talked about it, you don't know what it feels like."

   "The taste of the bed?"

   Zhou Yan gave a deep smirk: "That's fine."

   "I think your kidneys are almost finished." Shen Yi glanced at his waist and suggested, "Would you like to have an examination tomorrow?"

   "Fuck off."

   "I'm serious, there's no harm in checking it out."

  Lin Jiao didn't want to participate in this topic, but she said out of concern: "Brother Yan, have you had a medical examination this year?"

"not yet."

   "Then you can find time to go to the hospital."

   Zhou Yanshen couldn't refuse as soon as she spoke.

   He made an appointment with Shen Yi, who was very concerned about him, and turned to look at Chu Yuzhou: "Yuzhou, it's time for you to check your kidneys too."

  Chu Yuzhou was burping his wine.

   His eyes wandered around the several men in the room, and after two seconds he asked, "How about we go together?"

   "Okay, I'll help you make an appointment." Shen Yi took out his mobile phone and was about to send WeChat to the people in the unit.

   He said while typing: "Actually, women's kidney function also needs to be paid attention to."

   "What are the symptoms of poor kidney function?" Xia Nanrui looked up with curiosity written in her eyes.

   "Insomnia and dreams, emotional instability, endocrine disorders, puffiness, dull complexion and the like."

   "I've been having a bit of insomnia lately."

   "Insomnia is not necessarily a kidney problem." Shen Yi took the cigarette from Pei Zhi: "You can check it first."

   "Well." Xia Nanrui has this plan.

   She leaned against Chu Yuzhou's shoulder like a bird: "Yuzhou, you must accompany me the whole time, otherwise I will be afraid."

   "Definitely accompany."

  Chu Yuzhou's eyes were extraordinarily gentle.

   When they looked at each other 'affectionately', the circle of pink bubbles around them made the air sweeter.

   Zhou Yanshen, who couldn't stand it, quickly changed positions.

   He sat between Pei Zhi and Shen Yi, and sighed to himself: "I think he's down."

   "Freshness is haunting." Shen Yi retracted his gaze on them: "The relationship that started with exchange can't last long."

   "What you said is too absolute."

   Zhou Yanshen played a song so that Xia Nanrui would not hear it: "They like each other now, and they will definitely develop in the future."

   "Like each other?"

"Any questions?"

   "The problem is big."

  Shen Yi watched Lin Jiao approaching here, but didn't take Pei Zhi as an example: "She doesn't like Chu Yuzhou at all, okay?"

   "Which eye did you see?"

   "Two."

   Zhou Yanshen was not in a hurry to argue.

   He glanced at Xia Nanrui's expression again, and clearly felt her joy: "You haven't been in love, you don't understand."

   "If you don't believe me, ask Lin Jiao."

   Lin Jiao, who received several glances at the same time, said with a determined face, "She doesn't like it."

   "Then what is liking?"

   "Nothing in return, nothing in return."

   "Do you mean investment?" Zhou Yanshen may be used to it, and he doesn't think there is any problem: "This is normal."

   "What's normal? If it were me, I wouldn't tell him about it, lest he worry."

   "You don't need to have connections, are you stupid?"

   "Don't tell him." Shen Yi glanced at Zhou Yanshen with disgust: "He treats love as a business, and it doesn't make sense for you to say it."

  Lin Jiao didn't want to say anything.

   She tugged Pei Zhi's sleeve twice, and when he looked over, she pointed to the dial on his wrist: "Let's go home first?"

   "Okay." Pei Zhi told them.

   He slowed down to keep a shoulder-to-shoulder distance with her, and walked down the spiral staircase.

When    sat in the back seat, he raised the partition as usual to separate the chauffeur from them: "How did you chat with him?"

"generally."

"what's his job?"

   "I don't know." Lin Jiao didn't have time to ask.

   She opened the chat record with Yan Jingshun and handed it over to him: "Our conversations are boring."

   Pei Zhi turned up a few times before reaching the top.

   He was really bored looking at the daily greetings, but he was relieved a lot.

   "Aren't you going to meet him?"

"not going to."

   "What if he came to you?"

  Lin Jiao put the phone back: "We've only known each other for a few days, so he shouldn't rush to find me."

   She is so sensible that Pei Zhi has nothing to do with it.

   He changed the subject and mentioned the visa application when he arrived at the door of Mingxin: "Bring all the documents tomorrow, don't forget."

   "Okay." Lin Jiao closed the door.

   As soon as she got home, she started looking for documents, making sure there were no omissions, and then putting them in her satchel.

   Or she was looking forward to this trip too much. She lay in bed and watched the strategy for a long time, and she stayed up until two o'clock before falling asleep.

   After working all morning with sleepiness, she finally waited until the lunch break and was dragged by Pei Yilan to the pantry again.

   "Beautiful." Pei Yilan took out the milk tea and desserts in the takeaway bag and put them in front of her.

"Um?"

   "I have something I want to ask you to help with."

   As soon as she used the word 'please', most of Lin Jiao's sleepiness instantly dissipated: "What's the matter?"

   "Jiang Ye is in a bit of trouble. I want to ask you to come forward and help him get two scripts from Brother Yan, how about that?"

  “…”

   "Jiaojiao, can you?" Pei Yilan scooped up a spoonful of cake and fed it to her lips.

"no."

  Lin Jiao pushed her hand away, not in the mood to eat.

   She frowned and looked at Pei Yilan: "Are you going to exchange resources and money for a love like Chu Yuzhou?"

"no…"

   Pei Yilan explained what happened to her clearly.

   She tightened her grip on the spoon: "He's not Xia Nanrui, he didn't ask me for anything, it's all of my own accord."

  Lin Jiao unwrapped the straw.

   She slammed into the seal of the milk tea cup, and calmly said to her, "Yilan, I don't recommend you pay for him in the first place."

   Pei Yilan didn't care: "It has to be paid anyway, what does it matter if it is earlier or later?"

   "It's not a matter of sooner or later." Lin Jiao didn't look at those eyes full of determination.

   She poked the coconut fruit at the bottom of the cup twice: "This time you help him get through the difficulties, what about next time?"

   "As long as he receives the drama during the agreement period, the company will help him arrange the follow-up."

   "That company can come up with this unfair agreement, what else do you expect? It's good not to squeeze him."

   Pei Yilan pondered for a while: "I will discuss this issue with his agent in two days, and I will terminate the contract if it doesn't work."

   "Don't you need money to terminate the contract?"

   "If he can find a suitable next house, the termination fee should be paid by the next house."

   "You're thinking too simple."

  Lin Jiao squeezed his eyebrows twice.

   She took the workplace as an example: "The premise of a headhunter poaching you to change jobs and promising to handle the affairs of your previous company for you is that you have a shining point in them that they value, and there is a possibility for them to gain benefits."

   Pei Yilan understood what she meant.

   She is very serious: "Jiang Ye has a lot of shining points, and it is not worse than other artists."

  Lin Jiao didn't want to pour cold water again.

   In other words, no matter how much she throws, the umbrella that will be propped up by the other party is blocked by the nylon cloth.

   She returned to the topic: "If you didn't come together, would you regret today's decision?"

   "No." Pei Yilan did not hesitate.

   She saw that Lin Jiao was showing signs of letting go, and shook her arm: "Good Jiaojiao, just help me once."

  Lin Jiao lost her temper after being shaken by her.

   She pulled Pei Yilan's hand away, picked up a spoon and dug a piece of cake: "Only once."

   The melancholy between Pei Yilan's brows gradually dissipated.

   She said a lot of good things in Lin Jiao's ear, just to lay the foundation for the last sentence: "Jiaojiao, don't tell my uncle."

   "You can hide it for a while, but you can't hide it forever."

   "Anyway, let's hide it first."

  For the sake of her life, Lin Jiao had to help her hide it: "I will go to Brother Yan tomorrow, and I will tell you the result."

   "Okay." Pei Yilan brushed away one of the eyelashes on her lower eyelid: "Did you not sleep last night? You have dark circles under your eyes."

   "Is it obvious?"

   "Fortunately, I can't see it from a distance."

  Lin Jiao turned on the front camera of the phone: "I'll cover it with an air cushion later."

   "Are you sleepy?"

"not sleepy."

  Pei Yilan's elbow rested on the table: "Then let me tell you about the harvest last night?"

"what?"

   "I kissed him."

  Lin Jiao caught the secret joy in Pei Yilan's eyes, and had a guess: "While he's in a coma?"

   "He wasn't in a coma, just fell asleep."

   "That makes no difference."

   "Aren't you curious about where I kissed?" Pei Yilan created an ambiguous atmosphere again.

   But Lin Jiao was not fooled this time.

   She greeted that gaze with a light smile: "Besides your face, where else would you dare to kiss?"

   "There are many places where I dare to kiss."

"for example?"

   "Here." Pei Yilan nodded her lips and moved her fingertips to the position of her collarbone: "And here."

  Lin Jiao raised her eyebrows slightly: "I have a way to make you get what you want."

"any solution?"

   "Put an extra pillow when you go to bed tonight."

   "Are the two related?" Pei Yilan, who was curious and puzzled, leaned forward a little and stuck to the edge of the table.

   "Yes." Lin Jiao deliberately paused, seeing that she couldn't wait before opening her mouth: "It's easier to dream with a pillow."
