Chapter 22 The Glass House

The two walked side by side, leaving a long series of footprints in the white snow, with similar strides and neat appearance.When I came out, although I looked calm and proud and confident, but there was no heating and charcoal fire, and the cold wind swept away all the temperament and demeanor, leaving only the helpless trembling of shrinking neck.

"It's so cold?" Jiang Liu saw Ji Yu put his hand to his mouth and breathed out, wishing he could immediately pick him up and walk back, only to get angry, he didn't expect that the clothes of the two of them had already been handed over to the housekeeper for storage, such a low-level mistake Make him feel sick.

Even though he was also wearing a sweater, why was Jiang Liu not cold at all? Ji Yu felt that God would indeed favor certain people, so he shook his head and answered Jiang Liu, "It's okay."

After all, I have already walked halfway, and I will always suffer from the cold when I go back, so it is better to go directly to the greenhouse.

"Then let's walk faster, it won't be so cold if we move." Jiang Liu grabbed Ji Yu's wrist and strode forward, more than a star and a half faster than before.

After all, he is a man, and he is not short in stature. Except for the first step where Ji Yu staggered because he was unprepared, he had a tacit understanding so that he could directly participate in the two-legged three-legged.Jiang Liu's hands on the outside of the sleeves were as warm as if they had a fever, and even his wrists became hot. He was held tightly, but he couldn't think of struggling. Jiang Liu just rushed forward like this. It is to help myself block all the wind and snow.Ji Yu was in a trance for a few seconds, as if he had experienced this scene...

Within a few minutes, a huge glass greenhouse appeared at the end of the curve. It’s not that Ji Yu has never seen this kind of noble toy that was once popular, but because of the high maintenance cost and its fragility, the preserved ones that are still in use are almost extinct. .Most of what I saw before was just a frame, the lack of glass is still a trivial matter, and it is a pity to lose the flowers that bloom in all seasons inside.But the greenhouse in Donald's house is obviously the owner's favorite thing. Every piece of glass has been wiped to shine, especially now that it is snowing. When combined with the surrounding environment, it looks like a snowball placed in a window.

Through the water-dropped glass, green and red shadows can be vaguely seen inside. Ji Yu guessed that it should be the red rose that the British are particularly fond of.He couldn't wait to go in and see if the garden in the ice and snow was really the same as the Crystal Palace in fairy tales.

Jiang Liu turned the door of the glass greenhouse with the other free hand. The copper door lock was kept clean and clean, and with a click sound, the door of the greenhouse was opened a crack.A warm current hit, with the unique smell of flowers and water vapor, which made Ji Yu sneezed.

Rubbing his nose, Ji Yu raised his eyes and found Jiang Liu's gaze. "Don't worry, it's just hot and cold stimulation."

"I know, I just think you're quite...very good." Jiang Liu wanted to say cute, but Ji Yu didn't like to hear it. On this occasion, he didn't want to provoke him to blow his hair.

Casting a glance at him, Ji Yu walked inside on his own, not caring that his wrist was still in Jiang Liu's hand.

Walking into the greenhouse, Ji Yu personally experienced what is called the "greenhouse effect". The temperature here is at least ten degrees higher than outside, making people not feel cold at all.I sniffed and sniffed, and sure enough, I smelled some burnt wood among the flowers.Ji Yu knows that although these glass greenhouses have remarkable thermal insulation effects, in order to ensure a suitable temperature in such a winter, heat must be provided from the inside, and the easiest way is to burn the stove in the greenhouse.

Seeing that Ji Yu seemed to be looking for something, Jiang Liu asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Stove, I smell it, where is it?" Ji Yu didn't turn his head, turning his neck to see a little smoke or fire.

Jiang Liu pulled him back, "When people are in the greenhouse, heating the stove will reduce the oxygen content. I heard that if you want to see it, the housekeeper should have removed the stove long ago."

"If you still feel cold, get closer to me." Jiang Liu added.

Ji Yu smiled embarrassingly, "No, I'm just curious, it's not cold anymore, you can touch it." Then he took his hand out of Jiang Liu's and put it on the back of his hand. "Warm up!"

"It's fine if it's not cold." Jiang Liu looked down at the back of her hands, and her words were a little absent-minded.

The dark red petals have a texture like golden velvet, and the dew formed on them magnifies every detail of the petals, but even if they are very close, they still can't find any flaws. Compared with artificial high-tech products, they are more like From human handwriting.Ji Yu actually doesn't like roses very much, he prefers evergreen pine and bamboo and Aoxue's plum blossoms.But entering this glass greenhouse, he had to admit that the passionate, delicate and sunny flowers like roses are indeed more suitable for growing here.She was born to be treated special by people, born to bloom only for beauty.

Stretching out his fingers to touch the petals, Ji Yu felt that the dense texture was different from what he thought.

"The rose is a very proud flower. You see, she is not delicate and will break when touched. A truly beautiful flower is like a tightly grasped little fist. You think she is smiling at you, but she is actually demonstrating to you. If you dare to treat her badly, she will hit you with her small fist."

Jiang Liu's voice came faintly, as always, deep and melodious, uncharacteristically emotional and idealistic.

"Who said this?" Ji Yu was very curious, who could say such a cute and interesting sentence, which seemed to be coaxing but with some philosophy.

"My mother." Jiang Liu flipped the album to the group photo, pointing at the beautiful black-haired woman in the photo. "When I was a child, I wanted to pick roses from my neighbor's house, and my mother stopped me by saying that."

Ji Yu walked back slowly, bent down and met Jiang Liu's lowered eyes because of sitting down.

"So you didn't take it?"

Jiang Liu nodded, "I give up."

"Why did you give up, are you afraid that Rose's little fist will hit you?" Ji Yu said in a final tone, with a strong sense of playfulness.

The two were very close, and the warm air they breathed could blow on each other's faces. Jiang Liu had never been treated like this before, and besides, the person who teased him was Ji Yu, and he blushed almost instantly.

Hahaha... Ji Yu actually wanted to tease him on purpose, but he didn't expect Jiang Liu to be so thin-skinned. "Jiang Liu, you are so cute! Look, your face is blushing!"

The person who was able to touch it just now straightened up, leaning on the back of the chair and laughing to and fro, Jiang Liu stood up without knowing what to do, put one hand on Ji Yu's shoulder and the other on the back of Ji Yu's head, forcing him to Look at yourself.

"Hey, what are you doing?" The face in front of him was still reddish, and the lips seemed to be several degrees brighter because of the shyness just now, as if they were dyed by some kind of paint.Ji Yu felt that he probably joked a little too much, which made Jiang Liu angry.He hurriedly said, "I'm sorry, sorry, I didn't mean to laugh at you, I just wanted to tease you, Jiang Liu, don't be angry." During the words, Ji Yu patted Jiang Liu's back as a comfort.

The person you like is under your control, and the lips you want to kiss are close at hand. If you don't have any ideas, Jiang Liu is really not a normal person.Watching Ji Yu's mouth open and close, he approached Ji Yu's face. From this distance, he could clearly see the beautiful patterns in his pupils, as well as the gradually dilated pupils.

Feeling the person in his arms suddenly froze, Jiang Liu came back to his senses. Ji Yu didn't understand his intentions. If he really kissed him, there would be no future...

Thinking of this, Jiang Liu sighed in his heart, turned his face slightly to one side, and kissed Ji Yu's cheek lightly.He quickly let go of the person who was so stiff that he couldn't move, and sat back on the chair.He couldn't get too close to Ji Yu at this time, he was afraid that he would not be able to control himself.

It took about half a minute before Ji Yu came back to his senses, his face was also flushed.He looked at Jiang Liu with the eyes of a monster, and his outstretched index finger trembled slightly, "Jiang Liu, you have been possessed by a ghost today, I thought you were going to kiss me just now!"

"I kissed you." Jiang Liu covered her expression with a teacup, but spoke frankly.

Quickly covering his face with his hand, Ji Yu was so ashamed that he was going crazy, "You have the nerve to say it! Why did you suddenly kiss on the cheek? We haven't just met!"

"You teased me just now, I have to tease you back." Jiang Liu's thoughts turned quickly because of the enthusiasm that had not subsided, and he didn't feel that there was anything wrong with such a cheeky reason.

"I..." Ji Yu was so bullied that he could only say "me", and stood there for a while before saying, "Then you can't just kiss me casually! Not even the face..."

Jiang Liu shook her fingertips, "You hate it?"

Ji Yu was taken aback by Jiang Liu's question. Although there were only three words, the grievance in his tone was not only [-]%. "It's not about hating or not hating!"

"Do you hate it or not?" Jiang Liu eagerly wanted to know the answer.

"You..." Ji Yu didn't think about this question, and stood aside silently, "I don't feel disgusted..." Recalling the cheek kiss just now, Ji Yu didn't feel uncomfortable or disgusted, he was just a little surprised and at a loss.But if it were another man, maybe the result would be completely different. After all, for Ji Yu, although he is familiar with European etiquette culture, he has never been able to adapt to face-to-face and kissing.

"Don't hate it?" Jiang Liu asked.

"I don't hate it, but I don't like it. You know, no one greets you with a kiss in China." Ji Yu tried to explain why he was shy.

In Jiang Liu's ears, he could only hear the words "don't hate it", and he smiled like a little boy who got a lollipop. "Well, that's good, I don't want to be hated by you."

The temperature in the glass greenhouse is suitable. The two of them didn't wear coats, and they were exposed to the cold all the way when they came. Now, if you want to go out and return to the house, you need to make more determination than 01:30.What's more, Ji Yu is afraid of the cold, and Jiang Liu is reluctant to let Ji Yu suffer from the cold. After summing up, the two simply decided to wait until the housekeeper came to ask them to eat. Will be here to greet them with warm coats.

Picking up the teacup to add scented tea to Ji Yu, Jiang Liu suddenly remembered the important matters that he hadn't had time to tell Ji Yu. "Ji Yu, that Sebastian just now, don't have too much contact with him, he is not a good stubble."

Ji Yu raised his eyebrows, "You underestimate me? How can such a small role catch my eyes, stop joking."

Yingting's brows were frowned, Jiang Liu shook his head and said: "I'm afraid that you have the attitude now, he is a villain, he will use everything to the extreme, he is not afraid of meat and vegetables, you can't guard against it in the open !"

"I don't think I offended him. Is it necessary to hurt me so much?" Ji Yu felt that Jiang Liu was too sensitive, why would the other party make things difficult for him if there was no conflict of interest.

Jiang Liu put down the teapot, her expression was gloomy, she wanted to speak but didn't know where to start. "you……"

Ji Yu also corrected his sitting posture, waiting for Jiang Liu to finish the rest.

"You should always be careful. It's best if nothing happens, and you can prevent it in time. Some people play tricks just because they want to." Jiang Liu definitely can't say that it's because Sebas has illusions about him, but now standing beside him is It's Ji Yu, out of jealousy, Sebastian will very likely be unfavorable to Ji Yu, after all, it is easy to generate resentment if you cannot love.

Those who speak are serious, and those who are obedient cannot be perfunctory.Ji Yu finally nodded, "That's right, be careful with the Wannian ship, I will pay attention. Anyway, I don't like that person at first glance, so let's just take it by the way."

While the two were talking, the glass door was gently pushed open, and it turned out that the butler had arrived.

"Master William, Mr. Ji, lunch is about to start, the old man asked me to call you."

After bowing and saluting, the butler stretched out his hand and directed the maid behind him to step forward, "You two didn't wear coats when you came out. After all, the temperature difference between indoors and outdoors is huge in this weather. I'm worried that you'll catch a cold. You'd better put them on when you go back. Please don't blame me for making my own decisions." .”

"Thank you butler for being careful, Ji Yu was frozen all the way when I came here." Jiang Liu nodded to the butler with satisfaction in his eyes.

Ji Yu also nodded his thanks, "I came out in a hurry and forgot my coat. How can we blame you for sending us the coat before we can thank you in time?"

The butler smiled, "Then please put it on quickly, there are a lot of people here today, you two should hurry up."

Putting on a thick coat and wrapping a scarf, Ji Yu's small face was almost buried. He stretched out his hand and pressed the scarf down to make his field of view slightly wider. He reluctantly looked back at the greenhouse before following the housekeeper out.

"Reluctant to leave?"

"You said you wanted to teach me how to make dried flowers, and I regret that you didn't have time." Ji Yu tilted his head, and Jiang Liu's face was reflected in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, it took time to do this. If you like it, I'll send it to you, as much as you want." Jiang Liu's entire face was exposed in the wind and snow, as if a little flushed from the cold.

In fact, although Ji Yu likes it, he is not a person who is willing to spend time making dried flowers. When he heard that they gave him free gifts, he soon became happy and put all regrets and regrets behind him. "Well, I'm not in a hurry, you can take your time!"

Hearing the conversation between Jiang Liu and Ji Yu, Mr. Butler walked in front and felt that love can really change human nature. Master William has been busy since he was a child. How could he spend time on things like dried flowers in the past? Now he is not only willing, but also willing to last his whole life.That's okay, it's a bit popular.

It is said that the British are reluctant to discuss other people's gossip behind their backs because of their identity, but how can people communicate with each other to talk about the real thing, it is so easy to have a topic that comes to their door, of course they will not just miss it.Just a few words, everyone in the hall knew Ji Yu's identity, name and major deeds. Although he couldn't do everything in detail, such a spread can be regarded as "famous", at least the best among the group of Donalds Everyone has a preliminary understanding of him.

"According to what you said, Mr. Ji, who came from afar from China, is indeed very capable. It's no wonder that William chose him among so many people who asked for cooperation." Eyelashes mused that she had been good but hadn't finished her studies and was still a few years away from playing for Donald's.Although she never let go of any opportunity to understand the internal affairs of the group, she was still surprised to see Ji Yu suddenly today. She had never heard that William would treat anyone with such importance.

"Jane, Yuzhou is the result of Mr. Ji and his friends starting a business together. To create such value at his age, this Mr. Ji is more than capable! I think getting William's approval is a trivial matter, but getting the old man's approval is a big deal." !” Ben Shen, who has been working in the group for a while, said mysteriously.

"Where did you say that?" Everyone around looked eager to learn.

Ben picked up his cup and took a sip of coffee with a chuckle, cleared his throat and said, "I just got accurate information that Mr. Ji was not invited by William today, but the old man!"

"Patriarch?!"

The backs that had been leaning on the sofa straightened suddenly, and everyone felt that there was something wrong with their ears, and they couldn't get a definite answer from looking at each other.

After Guan Zi had sold enough, Ben spoke again with satisfaction: "It's the head of the house! William was just ordered to pick up Mr. Ji."

"But I think, no matter how outstanding he is, he shouldn't be treated like this by the Patriarch..." Zhen was obviously a little puzzled. Ji Yu is excellent, but isn't there anyone who is as outstanding as him?

"Hey! You don't know about that!" Ben happily told everyone what he knew, "As early as Mr. Ji's first day in the UK, the head of the family notified the person in charge of the relevant position to hold a meeting with him. He was entertained at a small dinner. It is said that the owner did not disclose his identity at the time, but Mr. Ji's performance was perfect and incredible. Whether it was dealing with people or dealing with crises, he did what he did to make everyone present extremely satisfied! I guess since then , the Patriarch treats Mr. Ji differently!"

The other little girl still had some light yearning in her laughter, "Did you just see that Mr. Ji is dressed casually, but his demeanor makes people look at him even standing next to William. It's not surprising to see it..."

"That's right, that Mr. Ji has an outstanding appearance, he's breathtaking!" Jane looked at her younger sister Merlin's nympho, and couldn't help but want to tease her.

After giving Jane a hard look, Merlin pouted, "It's true, who wouldn't want to take a look at such a good-looking person!"

"Hmph, but a sick man in East Asia, is it worth your time to discuss it? It's so stupid." Hearing the laughter and conversation of a group of people here, Elizabeth, who walked by with a cup, dismissed it very much, and opened her mouth to use it. extremely disrespectful words.

And just at this time, the housekeeper brought Ji Yu and Jiang Liu to the entrance of the living room, before they could turn around and appear in front of everyone...

Hearing that word, Jiang Liu turned her head and stared at Ji Yu at the fastest speed, and was about to stride into the hall in the next moment, with a menacing aura as if she was about to kill someone.

Fortunately, Ji Yu grabbed Jiang Liu's wrist in time the moment he turned around to prevent him from making other movements, otherwise he was really worried that the girl who looked pampered and had nothing to do but only knew how to spend money would be killed by Jiang Liu strangle.

Well, this internal complaint actually proves that Ji Yu is not as calm and calm as he appears on the surface. This gentleman may be blacker than a cuttlefish full of ink.

Feeling the pressure on his wrist, Jiang Liu was a little puzzled and turned around to ask why.

Ji Yu shook his head at him, with no expression on his face. "Don't be impulsive, it's not the time yet."

With Jiang Liu's current state, he really couldn't understand the four words 'not the time'. He still stared at Ji Yu, the anger in his eyes didn't decrease at all.

Patting the hand he was holding comfortingly, Ji Yu pouted inside.

Sure enough, the drama inside had just begun.

"As a well-educated lady, Elizabeth, I don't think you should have said that word just now." Jane was a little displeased, she never divides people by race, such discriminatory gazes are unacceptable to her as rude and vulgar act.

Elizabeth sneered, "Am I wrong? We Europeans almost perished during World War II. Even antique treasures were mostly lost overseas, and valuable things were destroyed. What is it if it is not the sick man of East Asia?"

She paused, and said condescendingly to Jane and Merlin, "Or are you people from side branches the same as him?"

"You..." Merlin was young, although he was angry at this kind of insult, but he couldn't find a suitable way to refute it, so he could only stand there blushing and angry.

Jane pulled her sister to her side, patted her on the back comfortingly, and said in a flat tone, "I am different from him. The difference is in ability rather than skin color. Elizabeth, I still hope that you can use your tone and words with respect." .”

"This lady is right. If it's this kind of upbringing, then William, I'm surprised by the tutoring of the Donald family." Ji Yu walked in from the door in time, with a mocking and sullen smile on his face.

He walked unhurriedly in front of Elizabeth, who had been frozen in place by his sudden appearance, picked up the teapot from the table gracefully and naturally, turned around and poured black tea for her with his own hands. "If I heard you right, you should be called Miss Elizabeth?"

Ji Yu's eyes were fixed on the teacup in her hand without raising his head.Sensing the other party's indistinct shake, Ji Yu quickly adjusted the position of the spout, and the tea poured into the other party's cup without leaking.

The hall was terribly quiet, no one made a sound, and even their breathing was deliberately slowed down, for fear of disturbing the confrontation here.In just a few hours, Ji Yu has been rumored to be amazing, and most people have already developed a strong interest in him. This is a good time to observe, how could they let it go.

After pouring a cup of tea for the other party, Ji Yu reached out to take the cup and poured himself a cup. He even raised his eyes to look at Jiang Liu, and asked him if he needed a cup too.After he finally drank the tea into his mouth to moisten his dry throat due to anger, he opened his mouth again quietly.

"Miss Elizabeth, you said that China suffered heavy losses and misfortunes in World War II. I admit it. But I don't agree with the statement that valuable things were destroyed. In my opinion, the most valuable things are never Which gold, silver, treasures, antiques and curios are the most valuable. I guess you may not have been to China, so I understand your ignorance of the spirit and blood of the Chinese people."

Ji Yu's voice paused, and then he spoke in that warm and friendly voice, but the sentences he uttered were as cold as ice and frost, "But I would like to remind you that boasting about ignorant things is not what a lady does. There is a saying in China that you can eat food but not talk nonsense. If you don’t understand, you can ask a translator to help you.”

Ji Yu's eyes have been looking directly at Elizabeth, and the dark eyes are calm, without even the slightest fluctuation, like a bottomless pit, which makes Elizabeth feel a chill down her back.She wanted to speak, but when she opened her mouth, she realized that her throat was tight and she couldn't make a sound.

Moisturizing his throat, Ji Yu didn't finish his sentence, "Besides, in my memory, at the end of World War II, China was the victorious country, and as the victorious side, I don't think we can afford to be your 'sick man of East Asia'. You know, if you don't like China, you can refuse to use Chinese products and inventions, such as the porcelain you use for eating and drinking tea, the silk you wear, and the paper you use for writing..."

Ji Yu listed some of the most commonly used Chinese inventions in daily life. Every time he mentioned one, Elizabeth's face became paler.

"Doing this may make you and 'me' more different. By the way, even the teacup and black tea you are holding in your hand are actually originated from China. Why don't you just put it down now?"

"Forgive me for the last word. You, the British, also participated in the sufferings suffered by China. Taking the initiative to attack without any threat is considered an act of banditry internationally. I really can't figure out why some people don't think that Be proud instead of ashamed."

Ji Yu's expression was suspicious and realistic, as if he had really encountered a world-class problem that he couldn't figure out, "Miss Elizabeth, a highly educated lady, what do you think is the reason?"

Ji Yu put down the teacup in his hand, clasped his hands on his knees, bent over like a Dongbai tiger in a fighting state, elegant and ferocious, it may pounce on you at any time and bite you to pieces.

Seeing that Elizabeth couldn't speak a word for a long time, Ji Yu laughed, and this time he laughed out loud, and the hearty laughter reached Elizabeth's ears, like an air defense siren.

One sound is more urgent than the other, and the sound is harsher than the other.

"It seems that you can't answer my doubts. Also, it is really difficult for you to answer my questions." Ji Yu relaxed on the sofa, stretched and casual, just that kind of attitude, which really made everyone present Everyone in the house understands that the ability and style of this 'gentleman', who is valued by the head of the family, is so extraordinary.

After the unilateral killing, Ji Yu's mood improved a lot. For such a person who offends him without knowing the heights of the heavens and the earth, Ji Yu has always been relentless. .

Regarding the motto that if people don't attack me, I will not attack others, if people attack me, I will attack others, Ji Yu can be said to have implemented it very well.

It was also at this time that he relaxed the oppression of his eyes on Elizabeth and realized that Jane and Merlin sitting on the other side had been staring at him with admiration and admiration for a long time.

The pair of sisters had a good impression on Ji Yu, and Elizabeth verbally stopped her when she spoke rudely just now.Thinking of this, Ji Yu gave them a warm smile, expressing his gratitude quietly in this way.

Mei Lin's face was flushed by this melting snow-like smile, but even though she was embarrassed, she still stared at Ji Yu intently with those big grape-like eyes.After hesitating for a moment, she stood up and slowly approached Ji Yu.

"Mr. Ji, you are so handsome! When I grow up, will you marry me?"
