Reserve the sun

London's streetscape architecture that has not changed since a hundred years ago makes people feel as if they have traveled back to the Victorian era. It rained heavily outside, and the ground was soaked in a short while, and the shallow pits formed over the years on the sidewalk were also filled with water.The old lady walking home from the supermarket with shopping bags turned up the collar of her coat to cover half of her face, carefully avoided the puddles she might step on, and headed in the direction of home.

The inside of the car is warm and comfortable, but the outside of the car is windy and windy. The inside of the glass is covered with a thick layer of water vapor, but the outside of the glass is constantly collecting and falling.A transparent window divides two worlds.Sitting in the back seat, Jiang Liu didn't dare to turn her head, her eyes were fixed on the scenery outside the window like there was no silver in this place.Ji Yu was sitting next to him, sipping a cup of warm milk tea with both hands, the hot steam rose up and wet his eyelashes, causing him to reach out and rub it, like a cat just waking up with its paws Wash yourself.

Because of the long flight and the 8-hour jet lag, Ji Yu didn't wake up from his daze at all. Although he remembered that he forgot to bring Jiang Liu the food he promised to bring, he soon became sleepy and he was so young. Sitting in the car like a chicken pecking at rice, he began to doze off.

Jiang Liu actually wanted to tell Ji Yu that he would not mind him sleeping in the car, and it would be fine to level the back of the seat safely and take a rest for a while, but every time Ji Yu was about to close his eyes, he opened them suddenly and shook his head The look of wanting to stay sober makes it impossible to say that.After all, Ji Yu is not a girl, he has his own career and ambition, and he also has his own set of standards and principles for how to behave.Reminding him at this time will only make him more embarrassed, instead of giving the hero a grateful smile like those heroines in romance novels who are born to be loved.

So when passing a coffee shop, Jiang Liu asked the driver to stop at the door for a while, wrapped up his coat and hurried away, and came back with a paper bag after a while.

Shivered by the sudden cold wind, Ji Yu realized that Jiang Liu got out of the car, squinted his eyes and looked at the sign outside, Ji Yu immediately gave up his purpose, he didn't wear contact lenses.Fortunately, Jiang Liuhui came very quickly. After the car door was closed, the aroma of black tea instantly filled this small private space.

"Have you gone to buy black tea?" Ji Yu's eyes lit up, he was eating dry sandwiches on the plane after breakfast, and he was worrying about his dry mouth.Besides, tea can refresh your mind, and you may not be so sleepy after drinking it.

Jiang Liu nodded, took out a cup from the bag and handed it to Ji Yu, "The milk tea I bought for you, you probably didn't eat anything in the morning, it's not good to drink tea on an empty stomach."

"Thank you." Ji Yu took the quilt, opened the small opening on the cup lid, and a burst of rich milky fragrance mixed with the elegance of black tea burst out.

Seemingly recalling the last time when Ji Yu was scalded by a soup dumpling, Jiang Liu reminded him before he opened his mouth, "The black tea is freshly brewed, and the milk is boiled. They are very hot. Be careful."

Ji Yu, who was just about to drink, frowned and put down the cup when he heard Jiang Liu's reminder, with a regretful expression on his face.There is nothing to do at leisure, he looked at the cup in Jiang Liu's hand curiously, "What are you drinking?"

"Iced coffee." Jiang Liu stretched out his hand and shook it, and the sound of collision between ice cubes could be heard clearly in Ji Yu's ears.

"You foreigners are so strange. You like to drink everything cold. Every time I see you take water from the tap and drink it in a cup, I feel uncomfortable, especially in such a cold day." Ji Yu has never understood coffee. People who want to drink cold tea, in his mind, this kind of thing is to smell the fragrance, and it is like losing one of the important pleasures when it is cold to zero.

Ji Yu's argument reminded Jiang Liu of her own mother, every time she saw her father want to drink something like iced latte, she would have the same contemptuous and unreasonable expression as Ji Yu now. "My mother has said this before, but she has always been unscrupulous and said that we are a group of uncivilized barbarians. We failed to learn the gods of Chinese civilization, but only learned the shape and messed up it. It's called ' In a class of its own'."

"I didn't say that." Ji Yu picked up the milk tea and took a sip. His relationship with others is not as close as that of a mother and child. The woman gave a big thumbs up.

"I said, don't worry." Jiang Liu didn't care at all, shrugged and turned her head out of the window again.

The reason why Jiang Liu went to the airport to pick up Ji Yu himself was of course his selfish motives, but generally speaking, it was because the directors were eager to meet this young businessman from the East.So they seized the time and prepared a large-scale luncheon for Ji Yu.

For matters related to Ji Yu, Jiang Liu has always been meticulous and considerate. He has long thought that even if a person who has been on the plane for so long will pay attention to his appearance, he will have a lack of appearance. He took Ji Yu back to his home.

When Jiang Liu brought him into the room, Ji Yu was still a little dazed. He thought this was the residence that Donald had prepared for him, but when he saw Jiang Liu took out a key from his pocket, he suddenly realized something was wrong. .But before he could ask, Jiang Liu pulled him into the room.

"Um, this...is your home?" Ji Yu looked at the back of the driver who had carried his suitcase up and disappeared into the entrance, and asked extremely cautiously.

Jiang Liu took off his coat and threw it on the sofa, and nodded as a matter of course. "I'm going to have dinner with the directors later, I think you probably need to clean up, so I brought you back."

"Dining with the director? Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Ji Yu exclaimed in surprise. Fortunately, Jiang Liu was thoughtful, otherwise how could he meet people with his dusty appearance!

"There's no way. Recently they thought about it. When they told me, you were already on the plane."

Ji Yu glanced at Jiang Liu gratefully, and squatted on the ground to open the suitcase to find clothes. "Fortunately, I have prepared several dry-cleaned coats and suits, otherwise I would have to buy new ones right now. Are you Brits having a sex change or something? No problem for me!"

Jiang Liu took out some toiletries and walked towards Ji Yu, "You should feel proud, you are so good, so good that they lost their composure."

Taking out a dark brown double-breasted suit, Ji Yu stood up and took what was in Jiang Liu's hand. "You Donald's old goblins have never seen anything in the world. It's better to close the shop as soon as possible. You know, there is a popular saying on the Internet recently, 'the city has deep routines, and I want to go back to the countryside'."

Jiang Liuyi listened carefully, "It's very interesting."

"Take it easy, I'm going to wash it!" Ji Yu walked inside, before he took two steps, he turned his head, "Where is your bathroom?"

Dutifully leading Ji Yu to the bathroom, Jiang Liu said, "Don't worry, I won't be late for the time I arranged. Just throw the clothes in the basket, and send them to the dry cleaning with my suit when the time comes."

"Thank you for your kindness!" Ji Yu slammed the door shut.

The bathroom is very clean, the white bathtub and the silver faucet are almost shiny and reflective. When I touched it, the porcelain feels as smooth and dry as imagined.Of course it was impossible for Ji Yu to soak in the bathtub at this juncture, he took off his clothes and got into the shower room, took a hot bath and came out.He quickly put on his shirt and pants, looking for a hair dryer but didn't know where it was.

Sighing, he wiped his hair with a towel and opened the door and walked out of the bathroom as if there was no more dripping.

"Why are you so fast?" Jiang Liu heard the sound of the door lock and turned to look into the bathroom.Seeing Ji Yu's face turned pink by the steam and his head still wet, Jiang Liu was taken aback. "Sorry, I forgot to give you a hair dryer. Come and sit down first, it's warmer here."

"Oh, thank you."

After a while, Jiang Liu hurried over with a comb and a hair dryer, "Just blow it here, so as not to catch a cold."

"But there's no mirror here." Ji Yu took the hair dryer, hesitant.

"I'll look after it for you, nothing will go wrong." Jiang Liu stuffed the comb into his hand.

It's good that I didn't mention this, but when I mentioned Ji Yu, I remembered the last time Jiang Liu laughed at my chicken coop.He glared at Jiang Liu and almost wanted to poke his finger on the tip of his nose, "You have the nerve to say it! Last time you laughed at my hair and let it go, but you said it was fine even though it wasn't tidied up. Is it fun to play me?"

Uh—Jiang Liu took a few steps back, "Calm down, I really think it's pretty good, you see I didn't smile afterwards, right?"

Lifted the hair dryer and walked to the bathroom, "I'm really stupid to believe you!"

At a Western-style dinner party, everyone sits at a long table, and the scene is indeed very similar to what people see in British period dramas—there is a white tablecloth in front of it, and slender candles are lit. When the food was served, the knives, forks and spoons next to the plate were placed in the formation of the army for inspection, and the reflection of the light into the pupils made people feel dizzy for a while.Of course, for this group of self-proclaimed well-educated Britons, methodically using the right tableware at the right time is a status symbol, so no matter how complicated the table manners are, they feel happy.As for the need to wash a lot of tableware later, I'm sorry, such a thing is not within the scope of their consideration.

Of course Ji Yu knew that being invited to such a formal dinner showed that the other party valued and respected him, but he still had a feeling that he was being despised.They do choose the best restaurants, the freshest ingredients, the top chefs, everything looks the best, and there is no problem on the surface, and what's more, they will Be proud of your thoughtfulness.But they forgot that the invited guest was a young man from the East. He may not be able to perfectly use the etiquette and habits he is not familiar with, and he may make jokes during the banquet and make people laugh generously.

Such a lofty posture successfully awakened the little beast that Ji Yu suppressed in his heart and never let go. He yawned. The little beast raised its paws and groomed its fur. Long snow-white fangs.

With a rippling on the corner of his lips, Ji Yu walked into the banquet and sat down with a self-deprecating smile.It's just that his back was straighter, his movements were like wind and clouds, and he forced the suit on his body to look like the style of Wei and Jin with wide-sleeved robes.His eyes looked deeper at this moment, like a moonless sky in the middle of the night, clearly reflecting every movement of everyone in his line of sight, like a demon mirror, making it impossible to hide.The smooth line of the chin is raised at a just right angle, neither appearing to be superior nor to show that one's own status is not inferior to others, so that the prototypes of some people around who deliberately put on airs are revealed, and it is easy to know who is superior and who is inferior.

Sitting opposite Ji Yu, Jiang Liu's lowered eyes were almost shining. He knew Ji Yu's profound family background, but he had never seen him arm himself in front of others without restraint. Only those You can get a glimpse of the daily habits that go deep into the bone marrow.This kind of Ji Yu is like a son of a family who came out of a martial arts novel. He is magnificent, lonely and indifferent. He can not only enjoy the market, but also enjoy the flowing water.It's so dazzling that people yearn for it, and they can't take their eyes off it.

The "old people" who are a little older actually have the idea of ​​showing off, but the young oriental man in front of him seems to have complied with the classic motto of the art of war, responding to all changes with the same.He did wear the British favorite double-breasted suit, but you just knew he was expressing his respect for this invitation in this way, not trying to curry favor with foreigners. Ignore it on purpose, but never ignore it unintentionally.

"This is Mr. Ji from Yuzhou. He is really better than I imagined. I never thought I would have the opportunity to meet a young man with such a magnanimity!"

Ji Yu smiled and said, "Thanks to everyone's love, Ji Yu is a junior, if there is something wrong, please forgive me."

His English is fluent and clear, and his authentic British pronunciation made everyone present look sideways. This young oriental boy is not simple.

"Mr. Ji is too modest. With such a pleasant pronunciation, I think you must have extraordinary feelings for Britain?" The person who spoke was a lady with a very proud expression. Shows the luster of flowing water.

"Madam, my accent is because I lived here for two years when I was studying abroad, and it was affected. On the contrary, the silk dress on Madam fits beautifully. Presumably Madam has more extraordinary feelings for China!" Ji Yu This is said to be praise and ridicule, but who said that there is no gun or cannon.No one can compare to the Chinese in the art of speaking.

When a tiger cub fights a lioness, the tiger cub wins.

Blocked by Ji Yu's words, the lady could only smile and return to silence.But when one person falls, thousands of people stand up.

A [-]-generation man with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a meticulous haircut answered the question, "I have heard that Mr. Ji is quick-witted, and today it seems that he is indeed not fake!"

This is to say that he is eloquent. Ji Yu's eyes rolled, and the calculation was fleeting. The little beast in his heart raised one of its front paws, flashing its coldly pointed nails, "If it wasn't like this, how Can you break the rules and invite me here in advance?"

It was Yu Zhou who proposed the cooperation, but the cooperation was not because of Yu Zhou's stalking. Fishing boats dominate.No matter what, it is not up to Donald's people to have any complaints about Yu Zhou's supreme authority. This is Yu Zhou's insistence, and it is also Ji Yu's insistence.

The little tiger is against the golden tarsier, and the little tiger wins.

"That's right, that plan is full of Dongfeng's mystique. If you are not a knowledgeable person, you may not be able to appreciate the essence!" A young man with a back comb said happily.

Ji Yu smiled and nodded to the other party very decently, "Thank you for your compliment and recognition."

After saying this, the young man raised his eyebrows sarcastically, expressing his contempt for Ji Yu's failure to comprehend that he belittled the project from the side without considering the audience's acceptance.But he didn't expect that this was the deep hole Ji Yu dug for him, and the next sentence changed the direction of the wind.

Ji Yu said: "Although I don't know your customers and important guests who participated in the event as well as Donald, it is interesting to say that I have always had a nameless confidence in the education level and quality of the British. I thought that everyone in Donald The reason why the director approved this proposal and eagerly invited me is that he has the same idea as me, so it turns out that I misunderstood it?"

Just kidding, you said that I don't consider your ability to accept, and it's not me who passed it!I have confidence in you all. If you really think so, you admit that your cultural level of foreigners is low!

"After all, it's not the culture of our country. It's normal to have ignorance and unfamiliarity." The man's cheeks were clenched tightly, and the words almost popped out from between his teeth.

With a big wave of his hand, Ji Yu let out a deep and hearty laugh, "Don't talk about you foreigners, China's 5000-year cultural heritage, it's normal for me to be ignorant and unfamiliar! Don't be too humble, you will be underestimating yourself if you pass it. !"

Fuck your underestimation!The man's eyes were almost bloodshot, but he couldn't refute.He had a hunch that if he continued speaking, his face would definitely be lost.

The little tiger is against the old black bear, and the little tiger wins.

Come and go again and again, no matter the conspiracy, the plot, the plot, Ji Yu can always counterattack and avoid it reasonably. There are more people who fail, and there are fewer people who are willing to suffer.Seeing that the scene was about to cool down, the old gentleman sitting on the main seat shook the silver bell on the table. "Everyone should be hungry after the greetings. Let's eat first. Let's talk in detail if we have something to fill our stomachs."

The waiters, wearing uniform uniforms, walked lightly into the box, skillfully placed the plates in front of everyone, spit out a string of dish names for introduction, then bowed and retreated, standing in the corner waiting for the guests' attention at any time. call.The sommelier took a corkscrew and opened the seal in front of everyone, pulled out the cork, casually put it under his nose for a sniff, and poured some wine out of a goblet for the old gentleman sitting at the head seat to taste.After being approved, a glass of wine was added to each person one by one.

Seeing that everyone had wine in hand, a charming lady next to the host knocked on the glass, "Before the meal, let's toast for Mr. Ji's arrival!"

Everyone responded to the call, holding the slender glass feet of the goblet and sending it forward, and then put it to their lips to drink lightly.

"Mr. Ji, this is the wine we specially selected for you. How do you like it?" The lady's smile was perfect, and there was no like or dislike.

Shaking the glass, Ji Yu picked up the glass and stared at the purple-red liquid inside and said: "It can be seen that the person who chose this bottle of wine must be an expert who often drinks wine. A slightly skinny beauty. Not only that, but after drinking it, you can also feel a slightly earthy taste in your mouth, with a long aftertaste. If you drink it for beginners, you may think it is a bit too obscure, but for experts or very fond of it For people with this style, it can be called the ultimate enjoyment.”

This kind of wine tasting notes is not something that someone who doesn't understand wine can say. Maybe Ji Yu has not reached the level of proficiency, but he can indeed be called understanding.His evaluation was very pertinent and hit the point.The one who chose this wine was the old gentleman sitting at the main seat. He drank wine all the year round and preferred wines with high acidity but not lack of richness. In fact, young people can't get along with him.

"Son, you are very good." The old man raised his cup to respect Ji Yu with his eyes curved.

"Thanks for your great love." Ji Yu saluted back with a cup, looking up, he felt that the old gentleman's expression seemed to have been seen on someone before.

Probably the plain compliment from the old man played a role. After the meal, no one stabbed Ji Yu harshly. Instead, he behaved very friendly and kindly asked about the current situation of China and its future development prospects.Ji Yu also listened carefully to his answers and dutifully, and occasionally brought out some innocuous jokes about the differences in culture between the two countries, which made everyone feel relaxed and happy.

And if you look carefully, you will find that Ji Yu's table manners are perfect and impeccable.The old gentleman and Jiang Liu on the main seat exchanged glances from time to time.

After finishing the 'Hongmen Banquet', Ji Yu nodded his thanks to everyone, and then got into the car with Jiang Liu.Almost at the moment when the car window was closed, Ji Yu was like a deflated ball and spread into a puddle of mud, as if the person who sat like a bell and stood like a pine just now was a phantom.

When Jiang Liu got into the car, he saw Ji Yu who was out of shape. He thought it was because he was struggling just now, so he hurried to the side to have a look.Ji Yu's eyes were already foggy, his neck, ears, and cheeks were all pink, and Jiang Liu knew without thinking too much that Ji Yu was drunk.

Wine is no better than white wine, its stamina is terrible, especially this wine was chosen by the old gentleman, and its alcohol concentration is higher than ordinary wine.Ji Yu actually drank very restrainedly at the dinner table, but he couldn't resist his status as the "protagonist". Everyone at the dinner party respected him, and he also drank two or three glasses.Getting drunk is a perfectly normal thing.

But what makes people wonder is that Ji Yu was soberly greeting everyone one second before getting into the car, no different from a normal person who has not drunk, how could he become so drunk all of a sudden?

"Ji Yu, how do you feel? Do you feel uncomfortable?" Jiang Liu knew that he would never find the answer by relying on the thoughts in his head without practicing, so he simply focused on Ji Yu.

Eyelashes fluttered, Ji Yu blinked, and rolled his eyes to look at Jiang Liu who was very close.This series of actions was obviously delayed, and he was really drunk. "Fortunately, just sleepy."

"Dizzy? Stomach, does it hurt?" Worried that Ji Yu was hiding something, Jiang Liu asked more carefully.

"It doesn't hurt, but I'm a little dizzy." Although the reaction was slow, Ji Yu's consciousness was quite clear.

Jiang Liu gritted her teeth and glanced out the window, said something to the driver, and then said to Ji Yu: "You are drunk, I am not at ease leaving you alone in the hotel, now, you go to my house to rest first . When you sober up, let's have a long-term plan."

Ji Yusun's eyes were already half-closed, and he didn't know if he heard Jiang Liu's words, and he didn't respond at all.

In desperation, Jiang Liu reached out and touched his face, "Ji Yu, did you hear what I said? Do you agree?"

As if dissatisfied with Jiang Liu's touch, Ji Yu yanked Jiang Liu's hand off his face and held it tightly, not letting go.Said in a barely audible voice, "Whatever."

Caught by Ji Yu's hand, Jiang Liu was so stiff that she didn't dare to move, for fear that her actions would waken the other party up and make him let go of his hand and throw herself aside.When Jiang Liu was still in China, his favorite hobby when he was picked up by Ji Yu every day was watching Ji Yu's profile in the glass, which made him feel happy all day long.Turning his head occasionally, he didn't dare to look at Ji Yu blatantly, so he put his gaze on Ji Yu's hand on the steering wheel.

Ji Yu's hand looked like the young master's hand at first glance, it was fair and slender, the joints were not obvious, but the proportions were particularly good.The fingers are straight and the nails are a healthy shade of pink with tiny crescents on each of them, looking absolutely adorable.Jiang Liu often imagines the feeling of holding it in his hand, it must be very warm and flexible.

Now, Jiang Liu did not hold Ji Yu's hand as imagined, but was held instead.He clearly felt that Ji Yu's hand was not as soft as a woman's as he had guessed, years of reading and writing had left Ji Yu's right hand with a thin layer of calluses, which didn't feel rough to the touch, but was hard.I don't know if it was the effect of alcohol, but his palm was very hot, almost scalding.The temperature spread to Jiang Liu's hands, and took root in his heart along the blood vessels, making him, who was not drunk, feel faintly drunk.

Jiang Liu thought, fortunately, he has hyperamnesia, otherwise how could he retain the feeling and scene like a dream come true at this moment.

Rejecting the driver's friendly help, Jiang Liu walked home with Ji Yu alone.The temperature in the car was relatively high, and Ji Yu was completely drunk and couldn't put on his coat properly. When Jiang Liu pulled him out of the car door, he almost trembled reflexively, his brows frowned, and he followed instinct like a small animal Move closer to the heat source.And the "heat source" closest to him is Jiang Liu, a tall man who can maintain a body temperature of 37 degrees Celsius at all times.

Jiang Liu used one arm to go around Ji Yu's back and pass through his armpit to pull him up. Now that Ji Yu wanted to gain warmth, he nestled in Jiang Liu's arms quite logically. It is a typical 'throwing arms and throwing arms'.Jiang Liu had no choice but to hug him tighter to prevent him from slipping.Fortunately, the road to the house was not too long, and Ji Yu was not so drunk that he couldn't use his strength at all, and the two of them finally arrived at the door of the house smoothly.

With the free hand, he took out the keys in his purse, Ji Yu seemed to be a little uncomfortable by the sudden change of movement, he stood up straighter in a daze, and then nestled back again.The height difference between the two people is not too much, and Ji Yu happened to rest his chin on Jiang Liu's collarbone this time, as if he felt that the arc was just right, and rubbed it with satisfaction after putting it down.This gesture was so intimate that it would only appear between lovers, Jiang Liu unconsciously tightened her arms around Ji Yu's back.

After finally opening the door and bringing Ji Yu into the room, Jiang Liu, who thought he could finally be liberated, was still a little bit reluctant. In the end, such an opportunity is rare, and he doesn't know when the next time will be.But Ji Yu's performance later proved that Mr. Jiang's loss was completely unnecessary.Because even though Jiang Liu had hugged Ji Yu to the bed and laid him down on the bed, and covered him with a quilt thoughtfully, he still didn't let go of Jiang Liu's hand.

Rather than saying that Ji Yu held onto Jiang Liu too tightly and couldn't pull his hand away, it's better to say that Jiang Liu was greedy for the warmth of Ji Yu's palm and couldn't bear to let go.The blush on Ji Yu's face due to drunkenness gradually receded, revealing his original skin color, and the slightly higher temperature in his breathing also dropped. His lips were not closed tightly, and there was a narrow gap in the middle.The smell of wine mixed with Ji Yu's usual woody aroma produced a particularly seductive effect.

Jiang Liu's hands were under the quilt, and he couldn't stand up, so he could only sit on the edge of the bed.There is never anyone else staying in his house, and the guest room has long been unused by him and has never been used, so when something happened suddenly, he could only stuff Ji Yu on his bed.Seeing Ji Yu lying on his bed, covered with the quilt he had covered, on the pillow he used to sleep on, and still holding his hand, Jiang Liu bent down to Ji Yu's bed as if bewitched by the person in front of him. face.

Ji Yu's eyelashes are very long, hanging down to cast a fan-shaped shadow on the lower eyelid, they are so close that Jiang Liu can count the number of his eyelashes.Afraid that his own breathing would wake Ji Yu up, Jiang Liu kept his breathing rhythm very long. He put one hand on the side of the pillow, and slowly approached Ji Yu's face, almost kissing him devoutly. on his forehead.

This is a kiss without any sex, full of love and tenderness.

With just a gentle touch, Jiang Liu straightened up, carefully removed his hand, tucked Ji Yu in the quilt again, turned and left the bedroom.

He thought, his secret love can't be seen in the light, it's good to be able to chat from time to time like this, and to see each other once in a while.Ji Yu's dependence and trust today made him feel even more unexpected. This kiss was the last bottom line he could cross without violating his conscience and disturbing Ji Yu's life.

Ji Yu is so good, so excellent, so dazzling, as long as he can illuminate him forever, he should be satisfied.No amount of desire is luxury.

He looked at the door of his bedroom and felt that he was very close to Ji Yu, but also very far away.Perhaps from the very beginning, the person standing on a high place and unable to touch him was Ji Yu, and he was just a believer he met in the world by chance. He gave a helping hand at will, but was remembered for his whole life.
