Distant Night Bright Stars

Suburbs of City M

"Xiao Ye, the family banquet you mentioned is here? It's so far away." Shen Xing frowned and looked ahead out of the car window.

"It's my first time here too. I heard that Mr. Qiao invited a lot of people today, including those from the business, cultural and entertainment circles."

"Oh, making such a big show?"

"The wealthy people's ostentation can be put on as they say, how can it be like us."

"Mr. Qiao is the big boss of our company?" Shen Xing asked.Because the company is usually managed by Xiao Ye, this Qiao is always a figure who never sees the end, and Shen Xing only heard that he has never met him.

Xiao Ye nodded, "Yes, Quetele is only a small part of the family group. Old Qiao's business is huge, including real estate, manufacturing, finance, foreign trade, entertainment, etc., a lot." Xiao Ye Ye shrugged, "Vice President Xiao is just a wage earner for President Qiao, ha ha."

"Wow, you're a ruthless character, no wonder you came here today in a company car." Shen Xing said with a smile.

Xiao Ye glanced at Shen Xing's smirk from the corner of his eye, "I'm laughing at my husband again, we have to show off our face. There will be a lot of respectable people here today, maybe we can get another order or something."

Shen Xing: "..." She is really dedicated to her work, never forgetting to solicit business.

"At that time, I will also introduce the designers of Shenda University to the big guys in the industry."

"Put it down, what a 'big' designer, don't bury me, just let me be a 'little' designer silently. Don't blame me, I'm going to 'eat'."

Xiao Ye smiled and stretched out his hand to stroke the top of Shen Xing's head, "Xiao Mian, you don't have to be shy if you have a brother covering you."

Shen Xing protected his head and said, "Don't mess with my hairstyle, drive well."

The vehicle drove through a long greenway, the shrubs and lawns on both sides were trimmed neatly, and the buildings in front gradually became clear in the field of vision. Even though he knew that he was coming to a wealthy area, Shen Xing was still amazed He exclaimed, "Fuck, where is this a villa? This is an ancient castle, right?" Xiao Ye smiled, and pinched Shen Xing's little face again.

This wealthy area is very large, and every house is very far away.Qiao Zhenhua's house occupies the size of three football fields. The villa has three floors, a tall foyer, a grand gate, red walls and gray tiles so dazzling against the setting sun, and a pointed roof.From a distance, it can be seen that the windows of each house are floor-to-ceiling windows, and each bedroom has a round arched balcony.

Palms, palmettos and other green plants are planted in the yard, mixed with bright flowers around the house. There is an open lawn in front of the villa. There is a circular swimming pool in the center of the lawn, like a flower falling on the green meadow. Diamonds sparkle in the setting sun.

The family banquet is held on the lawn in front of the house. There are several long tables on the lawn, and the long tables are covered with delicacies, including Chinese food, Western food, seafood, and pastries.

Not long after Xiao Ye and Shen Xing arrived, night fell quietly. At this time, the street lamps and lawn lamps in the courtyard were turned on, illuminating the whole world brightly, like daytime.

The banquet kicked off with the ensemble of the lawn band, followed by the popular male artist Sun Huaijin sang a song.

In the eyes of everyone, Qiao Zhenhua came onto the stage holding a red wine glass: "Thank you all for coming to my little girl's birthday party in your busy schedule. Qiao is very grateful... Everyone is from all walks of life, and they are all elites in the industry. Everyone from From all over the world, it is because of fate that we can meet here today, let us raise our glasses and drink, for this fate, cheers."

"Cheers." The audience echoed in unison, raising their glasses to dry up the wine in their hands.

.

As soon as the opening ceremony was over, Shen Xing ran to his Australian lobster. As for the programs on the lawn afterwards, he blocked them from his own world.Xiao Ye shuttled among the guests and socialized while holding a wine glass, while Shen Xing was immersed in the sea of ​​delicious food with golden flowers in his eyes.

.

"Chuchu, Chuchu" Xizi shook Chuchu's arm excitedly, pointed her white fingers not far away, her voice trembling with excitement, "Look, look, handsome guy."

Chu Chu looked in the direction she pointed. In front of the buffet table, there was a young man with crooked eyebrows, biting a piece of French escargot with satisfaction.A light blue-gray suit is handsome and stylish, not as serious and rigid as a black suit, with a hint of liveliness in the solemnity, neat and well-behaved short hair, refreshing and cute, although the features are clear and the cheeks are still a little fleshy, but the jaw is thin and tough , the tall mountain roots and the stubborn corners of the mouth are not feminine at all, and the youthful vigor of young people is exuded all over the body.This person is Shen Xing.

"Brother Shen Xing." Chu Chu was about to go up to say hello, but was stopped by someone.

"Ms. Qiao, hello." Sun Huaijin came over with a glass of red wine, "Happy birthday to you."

"Huh? Sun Huaijin, so handsome!" Xizi held her blushing cheeks and began to blush again.

.

"Baby, don't eat." Xiao Ye moved closer, "I'll take you to meet Mr. Qiao."

"Ah? No, no. I'm a small shrimp and crab, and I can't remember seeing him even when I meet an old man."

Shen Xing's vermilion round mouth was now glistening with oil, making it even more moist and shiny. Xiao Ye looked at the little bead between his lips, swallowed, and couldn't help but said: "Damn, if it weren't for the fact that there are so many people around, I really want to taste what you put in your mouth?"

Shen Xing: "..."

"Let's go, baby," Xiao Ye didn't give up, and continued, "See people, don't be afraid, I'm here."

Shen Xing didn't like socializing, but he went with Xiao Ye anyway.

"Old Qiao, let me introduce you. This is Shen Xing." Xiao Ye pulled Shen Xing and said excitedly.

"Shen Xing, this is Mr. Qiao." Xiao Ye went on to introduce.

"Hi, Mr. Qiao." Shen Xing bowed.

"Hello, young man." Qiao Zhenhua's voice was like a bell, and he extended a big hand to shake Shen Xing. "It's nice to be young. What a handsome lad."

Shen Xing twitched the corners of his mouth in embarrassment, "Mr. Qiao is over the top."

"how old are you?"

"23."

"Where is home?"

"D City"

"Oh, D City is a great place, how many people are there in the family?"

"Father, mother, sister and me."

"Father and mother are still in good health?"

"It's very, very good."

……

.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Qiao, where do you check your household registration?" Xiao Ye couldn't stand it anymore, and interrupted hastily.

"Ahahaha, I'm happy to see young people. Ask a few more questions and show concern."

Shen Xing was ashamed, this caring was a bit scary, Shen Xing thought he was not familiar with Mr. Qiao, so he was really not used to being cared about so much.

Xiao Ye quickly pulled Mr. Qiao away, and only then gave Shen Xing time to breathe a sigh of relief.

.

"You boy, you dragged me away in such a hurry." Qiao Zhenhua scolded Xiao Ye with a smile.

"My baby is not sociable, I'm afraid you will frighten him." Xiao Ye said with a smile.

Qiao Zhenhua jokingly said: "You, you, you are really protective. Unexpectedly, you snatched away the person whom Chu Chu cared about."

"What do you mean let me snatch it away? I was the one who fell in love first." Xiao Ye replied with a smile.

.

Shen Xing, who was puzzled by Monk Zhang Er after being interrogated, returned to his own world. He was already full and wanted to find a corner to rest and wait for the end.It's really boring, I won't come to this kind of party next time.

Shen Xing scanned the surroundings, looking for a place where the cat could lie, and suddenly a familiar figure came into view, Elsa?He walked over quickly.

"Elsa!" He beckoned, Elsa heard his call and waved to him.

"Your friend?" Sun Huaijin asked.

"Yes." Elsa nodded, "His name is Shen Xing."

"That handsome guy just now." Xizi began to blush again.

"Brother Shen Xing, this is Sun Huaijin and Xizi."

"Sun Huaijin, Xizi, this is brother Shen Xing."

Elsa made a brief introduction, and after several people nodded their heads to say hello, Shen Xing finally asked out the doubts in his heart.

"Elsa, why are you here?"

Elsa hesitated, "Qiao Zhenhua is my father."

"Ah?" Shen Xing used to wonder why the company recruited a high school student for an internship. It turned out that, of course, his father's company came whenever he wanted.

"Ah? Did Chuchu introduce you just before she played the violin in the middle of the lawn?" Xizi said in surprise, blinking her nympho eyes.

Shen Xing: "..."

Hehe, it seems that he only had one table of delicious food in his eyes just now.

Elsa pursed her lips, "It's my birthday party, but it's like a business reception. I don't know the people I'm looking for, Brother Shen Xing." Her eyes suddenly lit up, "You can come, my wife The surprise was so unexpected."

"Ah, I was surprised too."

Shen Xing rubbed the center of his brows, actually it wasn't Xiao Ye who forced him to come here, he really didn't want to come to this kind of occasion, Shen Xing then asked, "Who is Chuchu?"

"Ah?" Xizi turned her head and said to Elsa, "Didn't you say you two know each other?"

Elsa was ashamed, and twitched the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, "He usually calls me Elsa, probably because he doesn't know my real name."

"Elsa is Chuchu, and her name is Qiao Chuzhi." Xizi introduced to Shen Xing.

"Oh." Shen Xing was a little ashamed. When Elsa was still an intern in the company, she always came to chat with her, and she always called her enthusiastic brother and brother. It seemed that she paid too little attention to her.

"Brother Shen Xing, I'm going abroad in two months, so far away from you." Elsa said.

"It's okay, now that the Internet is so developed, we can send WeChat and emails." Shen Xing said, "You should study hard when you go abroad."

Chu Chu pursed her lips, "Oh."

A few people chatted for a few more words, and felt that they had nothing to say. They looked at me and I looked at you, which was a bit embarrassing.

A melodious cello was played on the lawn next to it, and the sound of the piano was low and melodious, which added a bit of artistic temperament to this somewhat business-like birthday party.

"The sound of the piano is really nice, let's go and have a look." Perhaps to ease the embarrassment, Sun Huaijin suggested.

"Okay, okay." Xizi clapped his hands in agreement, and was about to leave behind the handsome guy.

"Go first," Elsa seemed embarrassed, "I'll look for you later."

"Oh." A trace of disappointment flashed across Sun Huaijin's expression, but he still nodded and smiled, "Then you must come to us later."

"Okay," Elsa said.

Watching the two leave, Elsa suddenly held Shen Xing's hand and said, "Brother Shen Xing, there are too many people here and it's too noisy, why don't we go for a walk around here."

Shen Xing couldn't help being startled when his hands were suddenly tightly held, but when he saw Elsa's sincere eyes, he nodded and smiled and said, "Okay, let's walk with you." Too much, he is very uncomfortable with this kind of social situation, and wants to escape quickly.

Elsa smiled, her face was as bright as a girl's sunshine. She took Shen Xing's hand and left the noisy party. Her house occupies a large area. After leaving the lawn, they came to a forest path, the path On both sides are well-manicured green belts.

Finally, the sound of the buzzing human voice colliding with the wine glass was gone, Shen Xing breathed a sigh of relief, and took a breath of the quiet breath of nature by the way, feeling really comfortable physically and mentally.

Elsa stopped suddenly, put her arms around Shen Xing's waist and hugged him, she buried her head in Shen Xing's chest happily, "Brother Shen Xing."

The girl's soft and upright chest suddenly stuck to Shen Xing's abdomen, and his body froze, standing there like a log, his mind froze and he couldn't think.He is not unfamiliar with the touch of the abdomen, because his mother and sister have hugged him like this before, but he has never had such a close contact with a third woman, which makes him a little at a loss.

"Elsa, what's wrong with you?" When Shen Xing regained some thinking ability, he raised his hand to push Elsa away, because Elsa's actions are really ambiguous now.

Seeing Shen Xing's movements, Elsa suddenly tightened her arms around Shen Xing's waist, and bound him tightly, "Brother Shen Xing, I like you."

Shen Xing's hand raised in the air suddenly froze. This sudden confession made his mind even more confused. He opened his mouth and did not say a word for a long time.

Elsa raised her head and looked into Shen Xing's eyes with her big watery eyes, "Brother Shen Xing, do you like me?"

Shen Xing: "..." There was another silence, how should I face the situation in front of me?It's not that no one has confessed to him face to face before, but he politely refused for various reasons, but Elsa on the opposite side, her eyes are so hot and sincere that Shen Xing was momentarily at a loss for words.

Elsa didn't wait for the answer she wanted, so she buried her head in Shen Xing's chest again, "Brother Shen Xing, I don't know if you like me or not, but I just want to tell you that I like you, it's my birthday today Wish." The girl pursed her lips and smiled so purely and flawlessly, "My wish has come true, I'm going abroad soon, and there will be fewer chances for us to meet in the future, so don't you have anything to tell me?"

Originally, he wanted to push away Elsa's hand and put it on her shoulder, but Shen Xing patted her on the back lightly, "After going abroad, you must study hard."

"Pfft." Elsa couldn't help laughing, she said "study hard" in exchange for her sincere confession.She raised her head, "Brother Shen Xing, I really like you for that."

"what?"

"Although you are handsome, you are very decent, unlike some boys who always want to take advantage of girls and are very frivolous."

Shen Xing smiled, "Actually, there are many decent boys. Elsa will definitely meet a very nice, decent and handsome boy in the future who will love you."

Elsa raised her face and looked at Shen Xing again. Shen Xing looked down at this lovely face through the dim streetlight. Her big watery eyes seemed to contain more water than before.

Elsa closed her eyes, stood on tiptoe, and pressed one soft lip against the other. Shen Xing felt a sweet breath lingering between her nostrils. Aromatic without any odour.

Another lightning strike split Shen Xing into a piece of smoking wood, and his body became stiffer than before.

Elsa smiled contentedly, "Brother Shen Xing, this is my first kiss."

Shen Xing: "..."

"I know that Brother Shen Xing doesn't like me that much yet, but I just want to kiss Brother Shen Xing right now. My birthday wish has been overfulfilled, and I earned it today." Elsa said sweetly.

Shen Xingxu's hand on Elsa's back twitched imperceptibly, "Elsa, the first kiss is for my lover, you shouldn't..."

"I don't care, I just want to give brother Shen Xing my first kiss. I know that brother Shen Xing looks a little cold on the surface, but in fact he is the most gentle person. You are the only person Elsa loves in her life."

Shen Xing gently pushed Elsa away, stroking her head, "Silly girl, you are only so old, you will meet many people in your life in the future, you can't say that you are the only one, you will definitely meet someone better."

Elsa's eye circles were a little red, and she was about to open her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by a distant call.

"Chuchu~Chuchu~" A beautiful woman walked over quickly, maybe because she was a little bit out of breath because she was walking too fast in high heels, she pressed her ribs a little.

The beauty grabbed Elsa's arm, "Chuchu, hurry up and see the gift Huaijin gave you, it's so beautiful. But for the custom-made dress from the international fashion master, my younger brother made an appointment and lined up a year in advance, so hurry up and try it on." Try it on, you must be very beautiful in it."

"Sister Jingjing, I'll try again later." Elsa looked at Shen Xing, she still wanted to talk to him more.

"Let's go." Sun Jingjing coaxed Elsa away.

Elsa was dragged away with reluctant eyes. Although she didn't want to leave, why was Sun Jingjing so strong?Sun Jingjing pulled Elsa all the way, thinking all the way, where did Cheng Yaojin come out to spoil my good deeds, if I didn't find out in time, I don't know what this little boy will do next.

Shen Xing stood there dumbfounded. He hadn't completely digested everything that had just happened in his mind. He touched his lips lightly with his fingers. The remaining warmth of the girl was still there. He stood firmly in the silent green The wind blew on the road for a while, and then I walked towards the brightly lit grass again when my mind was not so confused.

.

Shen Xing sat in the corner for a while, drank some red wine and soda water, his stomach was full, and he felt his stomach rattling every time he moved. Why is the banquet not over yet?It seems like there is no end to it.Shen Xing frowned, got up and went to the bathroom.

.

"Xing, why are you here?" A surprised and familiar voice came from behind.

"You? Why are you here? I also want to ask." Shen Xing looked at the person reflected in the mirror through the mirror on the washstand, equally surprised.

Shen Xing did not expect to meet Li Shilin here, but thinking about it, his brother has been working hard to be a rich man, even sacrificing love.So it's not unusual to meet him in a place full of celebrities.

Shen Xing hasn't seen him for nearly a year. Li Shilin seems to have evaporated from the world, and he hasn't contacted him. There is not even a perfunctory explanation for the incident at the inn. Of course, any explanation is weak, and I don't want to. listen.Shen Xing occasionally thought about what kind of scene and mood he would have when he saw Li Shilin again.Is it the surging anger in the chest?Or monstrous hatred?Or is it sad?

But at this moment, standing in front of Li Shilin, he felt as calm as water, he didn't feel at all, and he couldn't say he didn't feel at all, he felt a little nervous, but he didn't have such ups and downs, as if he was standing in front of a stranger.

"Xing." Li Shilin was very excited and hugged him.

Shen Xing pushed Li Shilin away, "Speak up if you have something to say, I have nothing to do with you anymore, don't hug me."

Li Shilin's expression was startled, but then he turned a little sad, "Xing, I know you blame me. I deserve it, but I really like you. I have already obtained 10% of the shares of the Sun Group, and now I have the ability Give you a better life, we," Li Shilin paused, "can we start over?"

"Hmph" Shen Xing sneered, "Start again? To be your underground lover? Who do you take me for?"

Li Shilin grabbed Shen Xing's hand, "I am sorry for you, I will make it up to you, what do you want? As long as you can come back to me."

Shen Xing shook off his hand, "Enough is enough, don't pester me anymore, isn't my humiliation enough? I won't give you a second chance to hurt me."

"Didn't you hear what he said?" A familiar baritone came from the toilet door, "Stay away from him, he's mine now."

"Xiao Ye? Shen Xing, why did you get together with him?"

"What do you mean getting together with me? Li Shilin, you have hurt my people like this. I haven't settled with you yet, so I've taken advantage of you. Please stay away from him in the future."

Xiao Ye pulled Shen Xing away, still cursing, "Damn it, little boy who eats soft food, do you think you were blind before? Why do you like this kind of person?"

Shen Xing: "..."

"Fortunately, brother, I have brought your eyes back."

"..."

"Go, go home." Xiao Ye held Shen Xing's hand tightly, with such strength that Shen Xing felt that his bones were about to be crushed, but he didn't cry out for pain, nor did he shake off Xiao Ye's hand, He just wanted him to hold his hand so tightly, the harder the better, and it was best never to let go.
