Pretending to be cute

On summer and autumn nights, the breeze is blowing, and before the coolness reaches people's skin, they are engulfed by the smoke and fire, turning into a lively member, wandering into the crowd following the shouts.

Xishan is quiet on weekdays, except for backpackers who come to travel, almost no one will come here.But this year is different. The annual fireworks display coincides with the traditional Qixi Festival. People come and go in an endless stream, and the hotels around Xishan are all full.

Not to mention, the venue of the fireworks display is in the center.

Li Mi stood at the door, tall and slender, and the Qiqiao lamp above her head blurred her outline, casting a long shadow.She has an excellent appearance, and it is a doorway where people come and go. Many people have noticed her, and some brave boys even tried to strike up a conversation.

Although all failed.

Rejecting the stranger's invitation again, Li Mi glanced at his watch, it was [-]:[-], a quarter of an hour past the agreed time.She began to think about whether it would be better to call and remind her.

"Hey, I'm sorry for being late. I'm really sorry for making Miss Li wait for me for so long." Before pressing the dial button, a lazy male voice came over.

Li Mi's face remained unchanged: "You are 15 minutes late, I want the qualification to renovate the cultural relic temple in City C."

Hearing this, the man didn't care about flirting anymore, rolled up his sleeves and rushed to Li Mi, angrily said: "You treat this qualification as a gift from the sky, I will give it if I want? Besides, I managed to get it this time , why give it to you!"

"Hao Nanren, you understand what I mean."

Hao Nanren got a headache when he heard the name, and begged for mercy: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, I shouldn't let you go today, okay?"

Li Mi was noncommittal: "15.00%."

"You! Naked blackmail!"

Hao Nan scratched her hair benevolently: "Li Mi, did you know that Hao Bang couldn't eat this cultural relic temple, so you set up such a trick for me?"

Li Mi didn't take the blame: "You are the one who invited me, and you are the one who is late."

Hao Nanren was so choked that he couldn't speak, so he could only say dryly: "I, I can't bear to see you alone on Qixi Festival today. You know, I've always been sympathetic, even if it's you, I also……"

Li Mi was unmoved, and said calmly: "Today is Qixi Festival, under normal circumstances, you would never take the initiative to ask me out. But since you deliberately asked me out tonight, and you were late on purpose, it can only be explained that this is what Mr. Hao did. Lord, you are angry in your heart, but you dare not not come."

Mr. Hao's full name is Hao Rennan, Hao Nanren's grandfather.The Hao family and the Li family are on good terms, Mr. Hao watched Li Mi grow up, liked her since he was a child, and wished to bring Li Mi back home as his daughter.

Of course, this method will not work, so Mr. Hao put his mind on Li Mi's marriage, and this object is naturally his grandson.

Hao Nanren analyzed his state of mind after listening to Li Mi's few words, and was convinced: "I'm sorry, no matter what, I shouldn't take my anger out on you. But Li Mi, can you tell grandpa that we are not suitable?"

Without waiting for Li Mi to answer, he poured out bitter water on his own: "Everyone is whispering in my ears, we are the same family, and we have known each other since we were young, childhood sweethearts, being together is only right and proper. But you and I don't call at all, Well, it’s okay to be friends, but to be husband and wife...forget it.”

Li Mi twitched the corners of his mouth: "If you have to talk about things with your childhood sweetheart, it would be more appropriate for me and Ling Sheng to be together."

Hao Nanren was shocked: "What, you like Ling Sheng? Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder I always thought you two had an affair..."

Li Mi didn't bother to talk to him, walked to the nearest vendor, chose the biggest apple candy, and handed over the money: "Please wrap it up, thank you."

The apple candy is red and round, like the cheeks of a child after a deep sleep, making people's hearts sweeter.Li Mi took the apple candy that was tightly wrapped by the store, and the corners of his mouth slightly lifted, evoking a faint smile.

"Wow, is Li Damu enlightened? Tell me, did you buy this for me or for Ling Sheng?" Hao Nanren leaned over, looking at his posture, he wanted to snatch it and lick it.

"Neither. Especially you, absolutely impossible." Li Mi pushed him away resolutely, and carefully put the apple candy into the interlayer of the bag.

"Cut, ruthless. Then who did you buy this candy for? Fu Qiuyue? Fu Qiudun? Uh, Yuan Chen? It seems impossible... Wait, I heard from Yu Sheng that your precious lump has returned to China, could it be? "Hao Nanren looked greedy, but Li Mi ignored him, so he had to buy a bunch of candy apples with his own money, put them in his mouth and asked.

"Well, it's her." Li Mi responded, took out her phone and sent a message to Xiao Ling, telling her to eat well and go to bed early.

Maybe he was busy over there, and there was no reply for a while, Li Mi didn't care, so he put away his phone.

"I really admire you for being a mother, no wonder she protects you so much." Hao Nanren pouted, not knowing whether it was envy or disgust.

Li Mi raised his eyes: "Huh?"

Hao Nanren said: "This happened several years ago. I remember... It seemed like three years ago, before Xiao Ling went abroad. Once, you and I were pulled over by the old man for dinner, and the old man insisted on letting me Get engaged to you as soon as possible, I was upset, so I went to the lake to smoke. Guess what, she, a little girl who was just half my height, came over to snatch my cigarettes, and even threw it on the ground and stepped on it a few times."

"Ah Ling is very good, she won't do that."

"Don't say you don't believe it, I don't believe it either. I was dumbfounded at the time, thinking that I didn't provoke you, baby bump, so I asked Xiao Ling, what do you want to do."

"What did she say?"

Hao Nanren bit into pieces the shell of the candy apple, with a crackling sound in his mouth: "She told me not to smoke, saying it was bad for my health, and also said, if you really married me, I would not be healthy, in case you What about becoming a widow?"

These childish words made Hao Nanren laugh so hard that he didn't take it seriously at all.But the strange thing is, for some reason, he still remembers every detail of such a trivial matter.

At that time, the young girl with a young face looked up at him, even if she was laughed at, she was not embarrassed, her eyes were deep and deep that did not match her age.That was the first time he knew that the little one who had been obediently following behind Li Mi would have such an expression.

After hearing this, Li Mi breathed a long sigh of relief and felt relieved: "It seems that Ah Ling doesn't care if you smoke or not."

Hao Nanren was confused: "Huh?"

Li Mi stroked his chin and said comfortingly: "If you marry me, Ah Ling will wish you good health because of my relationship. In other words, if you have nothing to do with me, Ah Ling actually doesn't care about whether you live or die. "

Hao Nanren: "..."

The merciless critical attack broke Hao Nanren's heart more thoroughly than apple candy, and the sweetness left in his mouth felt like a stick in his throat for a moment, and he couldn't help but angrily said: "Old Tie, you are piercing my heart... Also, the point Is it this one!"

"The point is not that Ah Ling only cares about me?" Li Mi asked back as it should be.

Hao Nanren had nothing to say, and he didn't want Li Mi to be too proud, so he could only say bitterly: "What's there to show off, a married daughter is like splashed water, when your baby lump falls in love, you have to sit in the back row, when the time comes... Who still cares about you, lonely old Li."

Li Mi paused: "20.00%."

Hao Nanren almost collapsed: "Sister, do you want to be so stingy, you think 5.00% is Chinese cabbage, and raise the price if you disagree?!"

Li Mi glanced at him, and said calmly: "Mr. Hao knew that Hao Bang could not eat this cultural relic temple, so I asked you to find me tonight for two purposes. First, let Hong Jiang and Hao Bang cooperate, Hao Bang will take the lead, and Hong Jiang will take the lead." Xiaotou, the bottom line should be 15.00% to 20.00%. Second, enhance our relationship and get engaged as soon as possible."

Hao Nanren turned pale with shock: "You guessed this..."

Li Mi hummed: "So, 20.00%. Not only did it not exceed your bottom line, but I promise to make Mr. Hao stop matching you and me, how about it?"

"A profiteer, a profiteer through and through, even a friend who grew up together!" Hao Nanren was so angry that he bought two more strings of flesh and blood, biting off the bones as if to vent his anger, and chewed them loudly, as if he was What he bites is not food, but Li Mi.

Li Mi glanced at the phone that hadn't received a reply yet: "You planned to let me take 15.00% from the beginning, and you were going to put up a high profile, and you took this 15.00% as a condition to let me solve Mr. Hao. Is this just special care for your friends? ?”

Hao Nanren was stunned for a moment, then wiped the oil off his mouth with a paper, and said with a smile: "Okay, as expected of you, it's a tie. 20.00%, you help me solve the trouble, and by the way, I want to share the real estate that Hongjiang just won. Entitlement."

The cultural relic temple is the most important project. As for the subcontracting rights of the real estate, even if Hao Nanren doesn't mention it, sooner or later he will subcontract it to other companies. Now it's a favor, and there is nothing to lose.

Li Mi raised his eyebrows: "It's a deal."

After work and personal matters were settled, Hao Nanren looked a little better, and began to care about other things: "Now you can tell me, if I'm not late, if I don't design you, will you only want 15.00%?"

Li Mi shook his head: "No."

"Why! You didn't treat the Fu family like this last time!"

Li Mi repeated blankly: "Who made me a widowed old Li?"

Hao Nanren: "..."

Surrounded by family, friends or lovers walking together, although the two are competitors in the same industry, they seem to be quite right after talking about work and exchanging a word or two.

Following the flow of people, the two gradually walked to the observation deck on the highest floor.The venue here is very open, and the vast night sky can be seen in his eyes. Li Mi raised his head, and he could vaguely see stars like broken crystals in the sky.

She took a picture with her mobile phone, and before it could be sent, the crowd began to commotion, and everyone was looking up.

"Looks like it's about to start?"

"Well, it's almost 09:30, I remember it was set off on time at 09:30. It's not easy to watch the fireworks now, and I have to go outside the city..."

"Mobile phone, hurry up!"

"How's your pixel? Why don't you change it to mine?"

While whispering, a ray of light suddenly cut through the darkness, rushed to the top and exploded, pouring out countless brilliant light bars, and then turned into a rain of light all over the sky.Immediately afterwards, fireworks of other colors rushed into the sky one by one, red, blue, umbrella-shaped, and heart-shaped, all of which weaved this bright picture of the night sky.

It's beautiful and worth sharing.

Without even thinking about it, Li Mi took out his phone, clicked on the contacts he knew by heart, and lightly pressed the green dial button.However, as soon as she touched the screen, there was everything on the screen, and someone called her first.

The note under her hand is exactly the person she misses.

The call is connected.

"Boom!" The two heard the simultaneous sound of fireworks blooming.
