I couldn't think of what to say for a while.
They should have known each other for a long time, but Xi Ran didn't know it. Jiang Yan didn't know what immortality meant to Xi Ran, but Ruan Xiqing was clearly lonely and sad 18 years ago.
So Jiang Yan can only pretend that they just met each other, every time he speaks, he has to be careful not to mention the things of the year, every touch seems strange and familiar.
At the red light, the car stopped, and Xi Ran asked, "What are your plans after this incident? Have you found a job?"
"Not yet, I'll tell you when I find it."
After the matter of the mirror demon was resolved, Jiang Yan had explained the situation to Zhou Cong. Zhou Cong was dubious, but he didn't dare to offend the "Great Immortal". He happily gave the money and sent Jiang Yan away.

Summer is here in a blink of an eye, and in just a few months, the evil spirit in the city is getting stronger and stronger, and Gu Yao is busy shuttling between the streets and alleys every day.
Moqing wakes up. After the chaos in Penglai, many monsters came to the world. These monsters are not strong in mana, but they are numerous.
Jiang Shu found a new job in a coffee shop. The salary is a little higher than that of a convenience store, and the job is also leisurely. What makes him most happy is that the uniform is much better than before. The small bow tie with blue and white stripes looks very energetic.
The coffee shop was not too busy this morning, so Jiang Shu took a rag and wiped the tables.
Gu Yao was standing under the street lamp on the opposite side of the road, smoking lazily, his eyes wandering over him without blinking.
Jiang Shu saw him when he straightened up, and waved to him through the transparent glass. He put the rag back in its original place, and went out the door with a hop.
Gu Yao suddenly laughed, but he was really a rabbit.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Shu's bow tie was crooked, and when he spoke, he tilted his head slightly, and his bow tie was crooked.
Gu Yao put out the cigarette, stretched out his hand to help him straighten his bow tie, and said, "Come to catch a little monster who stole 'things', and I'll come to see you on the way."
Jiang Shu said "Oh". He hadn't seen Gu Yao for a while, and he didn't know what to say. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly said, "Let me help you catch monsters."
"No."
"Why not? Didn't my brother help you catch monsters?" Jiang Shu looked up at him, and asked cunningly, "How much did you give him?"
Gu Yao squeezed his cheek hard, and said with a dumb smile: "That's not something you can do, be your waiter."
Jiang Shu was hurt by his pinching, and he pushed his hand away forcefully, his cheeks turned red from being pinched, and even his eye sockets turned red when he was agitated.
If he didn't know that he was a rabbit spirit, Gu Yao would have thought he was about to cry.
Jiang Shu rubbed his face and said, "Then buy a cup of coffee and support my career."
Knowing his routine, Gu Yao took out 300 yuan from his wallet and asked him, "Is it enough?"
Jiang Shu put the money into his pocket with a smile, turned around and ran into the store.
Gu Yao leaned against the street lamp, staring at his round and upturned butt without blinking. He didn't know what was so good about this rabbit spirit. He was stupid, stupid, not diligent, and he knew how to eat, drink and play all day long.
But he just likes this silly rabbit, he likes it at the first sight, he is thoughtless, his thoughts are written on his face.
There is a saying that Jiang Yan said is correct. Although their ancient family can move freely in the world, it is actually a magic stick, relying on the protection of the ancestors' magic tools. He is the head of the family. If he combines with the demon, the whole family will be implicated.
He didn't dare decades ago, and he still doesn't dare now.
It's ridiculous. Tens of thousands of years ago, interracial love would be punished by heaven. Now God can't control the three realms and nine heavens. The world is in chaos, but he alone still can't like it as he wants.
Jiang Shu came out with the coffee, and brought a piece of cake to Gu Yao, and told him enthusiastically, "The manager of the coffee shop didn't ask me for money, and the cake also gave me a discount."
Gu Yao took the paper bag and said very seriously: "Really, it will cost 300 yuan after the discount."
Jiang Shu glared at him pretending to be ferocious, ran back into the store with a grunt, and waved back at him as he entered the door.
Gu Yao smiled at him, turned around and entered the alley.
*****
Although Jiang Shu is a little monster, he is also a monster who is afraid of heat.
There are many buildings in the city, but relatively little greenery. When he was practicing in Penglai in the past, Jiang Shu dug a small hole under the shade of trees by the lake.
This day happened to be at noon when the sun was at its peak, and the coffee shop took an order for takeaway, and the store manager asked him to deliver it just two streets away.
Jiang Shu couldn't be afraid of the heat. He knew that Jiang Yan was nearby today, so he hurried to the locker room to call him, and said in a roundabout way, "Brother, you're not very busy today, are you?"
There was a crackling sound from the other end of the phone, as if something had fallen to the ground, and then there were a few muffled bangs.
Jiang Yan pressed the mouse spirit's neck, pressed his face against the wall, held the phone in one hand, and said concisely: "Busy."
"What can you do?"
Jiang Yan knew that this stupid rabbit was a smart guy, so he stopped playing around with him and asked him directly, "Say, what do you want me to do."
"You help me to deliver a takeaway, I'll eat an ice cream."
Jiang Yan didn't catch his breath, and wanted to call him over the phone.
"I'll give you 10 minutes, come quickly."
Taking advantage of his inattention, the mouse spirit changed back to its original form, jumped out of his palm, and ran headlong into the sewer.
Jiang Yan put the phone back into his trouser pocket and stepped on the concrete floor.
The mouse spirit only felt dizzy in his head. For some reason, his body subconsciously walked backwards, got out from the railing of the sewer again, crawled back to Jiang Yan's feet, and lay on the ground unable to move.
Jiang Yan just stood there without moving, looking down at him with his head down.
The rat spirit knocked his forehead on the concrete floor in despair, and said to himself: "Why am I so unlucky, don't I just absorb a little bit of human energy? Really, there is only a little bit, and they should replenish their bodies to bask in the sun." The sun is coming back, what are you doing with these nosy things?"
"I can't help it. My current job is to meddle in my own business." Jiang Yan has never been decisive in doing things, let alone make him lose his mind. After thinking about it, he asked him: "Do you want to reincarnate immediately, or become a mouse with no magic power?" ?”
Rat spirits don't want to choose any of them. Foreign rats with no mana can be bullied to death?He thought for a long time and couldn't make a choice.
Jiang Yan saw that the time was almost up, and planned to send him to reincarnate.
The mouse spirit shrank back suddenly, and said with a mournful face: "I finally slipped away from Moqing, but I didn't expect to die in the hands of you, a passer-by. What a crime I have done."
"Mo Qing?" Jiang Yan couldn't help frowning, "Have you seen Mo Qing? Have you been to Penglai?"
Mouse Jing rolled his eyes: "I won't tell, if you want to know, you have to let me go."
Jiang Yan curled his lips and smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.
The mouse spirit only felt numbness in his scalp, and suddenly felt hot all over his body, as if being roasted on a stove, his whole body was about to burn.
"I said, I said." The mouse spirit hurriedly begged for mercy, and the burning sensation on his body disappeared in an instant. He lay powerlessly on the ground, and said slowly: "I have never seen Moqing, nor have I been to Penglai, but I know someone is helping him find food."
"food?"
"That's right, that's right, it's food." The mouse spirit said again, "I heard that the Mo Qing killed a lot in Penglai 20 years ago and devoured a lot of cultivation. Now there is something in the world looking for food for him, just like a big Fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, do you know what I mean? We are those shrimp..."
The scene where they encountered abandonment at the rest stop 20 years ago suddenly appeared in Jiang Yan's mind. If what the mouse spirit said was true, then Mo Qing's hunt in the world had already begun.
Under Mouse Jing's repeated promises to beg for mercy, Jiang Yan finally let him go.
The mouse spirit disappeared as soon as he was let go. Jiang Yan took out a palm-sized notebook from his Qiankun bag, turned to a page in the middle, and crossed out the three words "mouse spirit" that he had just written this morning.
*****
Jiang Yan arrived at the destination with a few paper bags. The address Jiang Shu gave him was an open-air restaurant, which was directly opposite the road where he was standing now.
There is only one table in the restaurant, a man and a woman, but outside the restaurant, there are many people surrounded by three floors, some with umbrellas, some with their hands on their foreheads to block the sun, although there are quite a few people , but didn't go in, just stood outside watching the couple eating and chatting.
Jiang Yan knows that some seats need to be spent to sit down, just like going to a teahouse to listen to an opera hundreds of years ago, you have to order a pot of tea.
He walked to the entrance of the dining area, and when he was about to walk in, he was stopped by a man, "What are you doing? You can't enter here."
"Deliver food." Jiang Yan pushed his hand away and walked in.
The man tried to stop him, but he couldn't stop him. The self-proclaimed food delivery man obviously didn't have much strength in his hands, but he pushed him away very lightly.
Jiang Yan walked to the dining table and asked, "Is this your takeaway?"
The man and woman were stunned, staring at Jiang Yan in a daze.
The man who stopped him just now rushed in quickly after realizing his reaction, pointed at the camera, and yelled at Jiang Yan: "We are filming, do you know?"
Jiang Yan followed his finger to see the dark camera, then looked at the man and the woman, and said regretfully, "I don't know, sorry, whose takeaway is it?"
The actress laughed suddenly, looking straight at Jiang Yan, her laughter was as melodious as a silver bell.
Jiang Yan turned her head and glanced at her. The woman's facial features were exquisite, with willow eyebrows and big eyes, a small cherry mouth, a straight nose, and long black and beautiful hair.
The actress said with a smile: "Forget it, come and get someone's takeaway, hurry up and shoot, it's too hot."
"Sister Ying, you are really good-tempered, I'll take him out right away." The man pulled Jiang Yan out, and Jiang Yan turned his head to look at the woman again.
The man cursed in a low voice: "Still watching? Have you ever seen a woman?"
Jiang Yan lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't leave immediately after giving the takeaway, but stood outside the crowd, watching every move in the restaurant.
After watching for less than 3 minutes, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.
Jiang Yan turned around, and what appeared in front of him was a boy he had never seen before, about 20 years old, with a white T-shirt, black trousers, a pair of brand new sneakers on his feet, and a black frame on the bridge of his nose Glasses and well-combed hair, he looks like a college student who has just entered the society, trying to make himself look mature, but in fact he is still a kid.
The boy put on a tiger face on purpose, trying to make himself look more imposing.
Jiang Yan glanced at him: "What's the matter?" Jiang Yan didn't like to smile very much, and when he didn't smile, he looked very serious. He didn't want to scare the boy in front of him, but his sudden casual glance made the boy feel very sharp.
The boy was flustered by his look, and his aura immediately faded away. He cleared his throat and said, "The iced coffee we ordered, why did it come with hot coffee!"
"Call the coffee shop." After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he turned back to look at the actress. It seemed that after the scene was over, the actors and actresses stood up from their chairs and entered the room to cool off.
The boy carefully poked Jiang Yan with his finger, and said timidly, "It's really a wrong delivery. Our director asked you to explain it to him."
Jiang Yan glanced at him impatiently.
The boy suddenly said: "Brother, I am an intern."
Jiang Yan took a breath and said, "Lead the way."
He followed the boy into the restaurant through the side door. After walking in, he realized that it was not actually a restaurant, but an exhibition hall similar to a pottery museum.
Without the intern's identification, Jiang Yan has already seen the director he said.
Leaning his back against the wall, the wind from the air conditioner was blowing towards his face, holding a coffee cup in his left hand, and playing with his mobile phone with one hand. Jiang Yan who was slowly walking towards him.

Xi Ran raised the corners of his lips with a half-smile, and asked lazily, "Is Xu Ying good-looking?"
Jiang Yan didn't know why, "Who is Xu Ying?"
"It's the girl whose eyeballs were about to fall out just now." Xi Ran lowered his head, using a straw to stir the ice cubes in the glass, but secretly looked at Jiang Yan's expression from the corner of his eye.
Jiang Yan turned the fan blades of the air conditioner up a little, touched Xi Ran's cheek with the back of his hand, and said after making sure that it was not too cold, "My eyeballs didn't fall out."
Xi Ran couldn't help laughing, looked up at Jiang Yan and asked, "Are you stupid?" His eyes were very big, and the ends of them were very long. When he laughed, his eyes were like crescent moons. He used to be called Ruan Xiqing. I don’t like to laugh very much, even when I smile, it’s always a shallow smile, which often makes people feel calm and quiet. Maybe now that Xi Ran has no worries, he has become especially fond of laughing. When he smiles, his eyes bend into a circle The arc always gives Jiang Yan a sweet and gentle feeling.
He felt that all the muscles in his body were agitated unconsciously, his body seemed to be under control, and his fingertips couldn't bear to touch Xi Ran's body, even if it was just to touch the corner of his clothes.
Seeing that he was not going to answer, Xi Ran didn't ask any more. He put the coffee cup on the window sill and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you helping Gu Yao catch monsters? Why did you go to deliver food? If you are short of money, tell me Said, you don’t need to pay it back, don’t run so hard to deliver food.”
"Just drop by to see a friend off." Jiang Yan's heart softened at Xi Ran's few words, and his eyes became extremely soft. He didn't know what to say, so he took out a mint candy from his pocket and tore it up. Open the wrapping paper and feed it to Xi Ran's lips.
Xi Ran bit the candy into his mouth and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
The two stood side by side, watching Xu Ying huddling and hugging while filming. Xi Ran's company planned a drama and planned to invite Xu Ying to act in it. Today, they specially invited Xu Ying's manager to dinner.
Xi Ran is not very familiar with Xu Ying, but he and her manager are old friends, and today he specially came to the set to pick her up.
Xu Ying's agent is Fang Hua. She just turned 30 this year. She used to be an actress. She has a slender figure, good looks, and acting skills. Unfortunately, before Fang Hua had time to become famous, she was caught in a fire. She was unlucky and hurt her face.
For young actresses, looks are more important than anything else. Fang Hua's stardom came to an end at the beginning. Later, she moved behind the scenes and became a manager, bringing out a few well-known artists.
Fang Hua's face was injured on the left side. The scar was not dark in color, but it hurt the skin near the corner of the eye, causing the left eye to pull down a bit, and the whole face looked unsymmetrical.
Fang Hua has a very gentle personality and always smiles warmly. She shook hands with Jiang Yan and enthusiastically asked him if he had eaten.
Jiang Yan shook his head: "Not yet, you go to eat, I'm going back too."
"Why don't you return it? Let's eat together if you haven't eaten. Don't feel embarrassed. Xi Ran and I are old friends, so don't be embarrassed." Fang Hua is very good at reading facial expressions, then looked at Xi Ran and joked: "Look at me An old friend, when I heard that you didn't eat, your face was pulled down."
Chatting here, Xu Ying's filming is almost over. According to the original plan, she planned to go back to the hotel to rest after filming, but suddenly she changed her mind, walked to Fang Hua, and asked with a smile: "Sister Hua, what are you talking about?" Why are you so happy, it's time for lunch, take me one?"
When Xu Ying walked, the sound of high heels hitting the ground was very crisp, and Jiang Yan subconsciously looked at her shoes.
They were a pair of red pointed-toed leather shoes with thin and high heels. Her legs were beautiful, and she looked taller in high heels, but what caught Jiang Yan's eyes the most was not the pair of red high heels, nor the pair of thin and tall shoes. Instead of her white legs, it was a thin scarlet thread tied around her ankle.
Jiang Yan only took one look and then looked away, but Xu Ying still saw it. She folded her arms and casually tapped the floor with the tip of her shoe, and the strong smell of perfume entered Jiang Yan's nose.
Fang Hua coughed twice, and said with a smile, "Okay, what's there to talk about standing here, let's go to the restaurant to continue chatting, let's go."
*****
At two o'clock in the noon, the sun shines on the ground like a big furnace, and there are bursts of heat on the asphalt road. On the head of the ancient three links, there is a melon skin hat, which is old and white, and it matches his face with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. The old-fashioned Tang suit made of silk and satin on his body made him look more and more like an accountant.
Standing outside the crowded crowd, Gu Santong saw Jiang Yan's back through the moving heads. He wasn't quite sure if that person was Jiang Yan. He fished out his pockets and took out his pair of round-rimmed glasses. , half-framed on the bridge of the nose, squinted and looked carefully.
"Boss, Xu Ying seems to be leaving."
Gu Santong took off the melon cap on his head and asked the younger brother who was talking to hold it for him, then slowly put the glasses back into his pocket, and said: "I saw that she was still with Jiang Yan, drive the car over, follow They, look where they go."
Gu Santong followed them to the restaurant, but was stopped by the doorman when he entered.
The restaurant is a membership system, and if you are not a member, you have to be brought in. Gu Santong touched his chin, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Then I will get a membership card now, how much is it?"
"Master, our membership card here cannot be obtained with money."
"It seems that I can only think of other ways..."
*****
Before the chair under Jiang Yan's butt was warm, he saw Gu Santong walking in swaggeringly, followed by a blinded doorman.
Gu Santong winked at Jiang Yan, raised his index finger in a silent gesture, and then sat down in a corner.
Although the location is in the corner, the viewing angle is excellent, especially since Jiang Yan's table is directly in front of him, and Jiang Yan's face can be seen as soon as he looks up.
Jiang Yan put down the menu in his hand, and exchanged glances with Gu Santong.
While flipping through the menu, Xi Ran distractedly asked Jiang Yan, "What do you want to eat?"
"It's all in English, I can't understand it."
Xi Ran glanced at him with a smile, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, I'll help you order. What do you want for the main course? Steak or lamb chops?"
"It's all right, you decide." Jiang Yan simply closed the menu and listened carefully to Xi Ran's words.
Fang Hua couldn't help laughing: "Director Xi, I've never seen you be so careful."
"Nonsense, I've always been so careful." Xi Ran helped Jiang Yan order food and ordered an extra dessert. He knew that Jiang Yan liked sweets, so he told Jiang Yan the names of these exaggerated desserts, and Jiang Yan agreed. May not understand.
Xu Ying actually doesn't understand English very well, but she can't close the menu as calmly as Jiang Yan.
She was wearing a valuable new dress and expensive jewelry, and she was accompanied by assistant bodyguards when she went in and out. Hua had a good life.
This delivery man named Jiang Yan is obviously the same as her. He is doing low-level work, wearing T-shirts without even a brand name, does not understand English, and does not even understand basic western food etiquette. But even so, this man is like He is a well-known nobleman whose family fortune has fallen, revealing an arrogance from the bottom of his bones.
Xu Ying lowered her head and smiled bitterly, but when she raised her head again, her eyes showed a strong interest in Jiang Yan.
"I'll just order the same one as Sister Hua." Xu Ying crossed her legs and rested her cheek with her left hand. She was sitting next to Jiang Yan's left. Does Mr. Jiang deliver food full-time? Or part-time on weekends?"
"Aying!" Fang Hua gave Xu Ying a reproachful look.
Xu Ying said with a smile: "The industry is equal, what's the matter, Mr. Jiang won't mind?"
Xi Ran leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Xu Ying opposite with a half-smile.
Jiang Yan glanced at Xu Ying and shook his head: "You're mistaken, I'm not a delivery guy."
Xu Ying obviously didn't expect this, she looked at Jiang Yan's appearance, thought that he and Xi Ran knew each other, pondered for a long time, wondering if she made a mistake, where could this Jiang Yan be a big shot?
Xu Ying turned her head, but her mouth remained straight. She opened her mouth and asked, "Then what are you doing?"
Jiang Yan frowned impatiently: "Unemployed."
Xu Ying burst out laughing, covered her mouth and smiled for a while before saying, "Why don't you come to be my assistant, how about I give you [-] for a month?"
The more Xu Ying said, the more outrageous she became. Jiang Yan turned around and looked her in the eyes, and said for a while, "I think what you need now is not an assistant, but a doctor."
Xu Ying's smile froze on her face, "What do you mean? You say I'm sick?"
"You misunderstood, I didn't mean that." Jiang Yan glanced at her ankle, "I'll look at her face, your complexion is not very good, and Yintang is also a little dark, so be careful."
Xu Ying brushed the broken hair behind her ears, smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm sorry, I thought you were scolding me. But are you joking? I'm in good health and I don't feel sick."
"Aying, I want to go to the bathroom, so you accompany me." Fang Hua still had a smile on her face, but her tone was hard to question.
Xu Ying's expression suddenly changed. She stood up with Fang Hua and walked to the bathroom together.
As soon as they left, Jiang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was really not very good at dealing with women.
The waiter brought up the meals one after another, but Xi Ran didn't eat a bite, and looked at him with a smile on his face, "How about it, when are you going to be Xu Ying's assistant?"
"Don't talk in a weird way, why don't you eat?"
"I can't eat. My personal bodyguard is going to be someone else's assistant. I'm already full." Xi Ran glanced at Jiang Yan leisurely, and gestured towards Jiang Yan with a fork.
Jiang Yan was amused by him, lowered his head and cut off a small piece of steak, and fed it to Xi Ran's mouth, "Eat, stop joking."
Xi Ran opened his mouth to bite down on the steak, and said while chewing: "I'm not joking, I'm just jealous."
"Jealous?" Jiang Yan asked in surprise, "Why are you jealous?"
Xi Ran avoided answering, and changed the topic: "Try my lobster salad, I ate it last time, and it tastes good."

After Xu Ying washed her hands, she dried them with a hand dryer, and then wiped them carefully with a paper towel. After making sure that there were no water beads between her fingers, she reapplied her face in the mirror.
Fang Hua was standing next to her, applying her lipstick. She said to Xu Ying in the mirror, "Don't you usually wash your face? Why are you so careful, this face won't be so easy to stain."
Xu Ying twirled her cheeks with her fingertips, and replied slowly, "I also want to be careful."
"It's good that you know." Fang Hua gave her a cold look, "Also, let me tell you, pay attention to your image, don't get angry when you see a man, 1 yuan is not enough for this meal, it's useless to let people see You made a joke, are you afraid that others will not know that you are a village girl from a poor place?"
This sentence stepped on Xu Ying's painful feet, and her anger was suddenly ignited, and she blurted out: "Isn't this better, aren't you always worried that I have feelings with your husband? I have a wild man outside, You don’t have to defend me like a thief.”
After Xu Ying finished speaking, she regretted it. Fang Hua turned around and looked at her steadily, her eyes calm.
The calmer Fang Hua was, the more frightened Xu Ying felt. She flinched and took a step back. At this moment, Fang Hua slapped her across the face, grabbed her hair and slammed her against the mirror.
Just as Xu Ying was slapped, her head hit the mirror again, she was dizzy, she didn't dare to struggle, she could only look at Fang Hua with begging eyes.
Fang Hua gritted her teeth and said, "Remember, I give you everything for you. Only by doing your part, I can give you what you want, otherwise I will tear your face right away!"
Seeing the scar on Fang Hua's face, Xu Ying was in a daze and nodded subconsciously.
Fang Hua let go of Xu Ying, continued to touch up her makeup in the mirror, and said calmly, "Clean up your appearance, and don't bother with that delivery man anymore. Xi Ran has a big shot behind him, and you can't tease his friends." of."
"I see." Xu Ying licked her lips, and hurriedly took out the powder puff in her makeup bag. She secretly looked at Fang Hua in the mirror while touching up her makeup.
She and Fang Hua have never been the same kind of people, just like now, she just wants to wipe off the lipstick on her lips, sit down and eat something, and fill her hungry stomach, but Fang Hua makes up for it at this time. lipstick.
*****
Gu Santong ordered a cup of black coffee, but he didn't intend to drink it, and threw six or seven cubes of sugar into it as if playing. Even so, he felt that this cup of coffee was not as boring as Jiang Yan and Xi Ran's.
15 minutes after the two women went to the bathroom, the two were bored for 15 minutes, and the intimacy was close to mouth to mouth feeding.
That Jiang Yan was full of masculinity, but when he was with Xi Ran, the two of them were like a piece of fudge, sweet and sticky.
Gu Santong couldn't take it anymore and rolled his eyes. At this moment, Xu Ying and Fang Hua came out of the bathroom. When passing by Gu Santong, Gu Santong covered his mouth with his cup and took a small sip of coffee. Almost spit out the sweetness.
He put down his cup and glanced at Xu Ying. The red string on Xu Ying's feet was getting thinner...
Fang Hua and Xi Ran originally came to eat for the drama, but the drama is still in the planning stage, and there is nothing to talk about in detail. They treat it as old friends having a meal to catch up and explore the situation. If there is a possibility of cooperation Next, we will go deeper.
Xu Ying didn't have much control over her work. In fact, she had to rely on Fang Hua both inside and out. She was not in a good mood today, so she just buried herself in eating.
In the middle of the meal, Xu Ying had to accept an important interview temporarily. Fang Hua and Xi Ran greeted each other and took Xu Ying away early.
Jiang Yan spooned a piece of tiramisu into his mouth, chewing while watching Xu Ying's back gradually leaving.
Xi Ran followed his gaze and said speechlessly, "Don't look, it's been a long time, what are you looking at?"
Xi Ran said that being jealous was just joking and making trouble with Jiang Yan. He still has some observation skills, and Jiang Yan definitely didn't like Xu Ying because he liked her.
Jiang Yan looked away, took another bite of the cake, and said, "She is dying, what kind of cake is this? It's delicious."
"You mean she...she's going to die?" Xi Ran stared blankly at Jiang Yan.
"Human death and reincarnation, reincarnation, this is a very normal cycle, don't feel pity."
Xi Ran's throat moved, and he took a sip of lemonade, but his eyes were a little uncomfortable.
For the gods, this seems to be an endless cycle, but for him, death means that he will forget Jiang Yan. He doesn't know why, but he suddenly starts to fear death, and also fears that Jiang Yan will not come after reincarnation look for him.
Xi Ran asked the waiter to remove all the cups and plates from the table. He managed his expression and asked casually, "Will your appearance change after reincarnation?"
"Humans have three souls and seven souls. After death, the three souls are reincarnated, and the seven souls dissipate in the world. After being reborn as a human, new seven souls will be generated. Both appearance, physique and personality will change. The so-called immortal cultivation is a process of refining the three souls. The process of going to Qipo." Jiang Yan turned to look at him, "Why are you asking this?"
"It's nothing, just ask casually, um... Is tiramisu delicious? Order another to take home."
Jiang Yan had also eaten this kind of bittersweet sweets before. That kind of snack is called chocolate, and it is everywhere in the streets now, but it was rare in Taoyuan Town at that time. It was the first time he and Xi Ran kissed. It is the intimacy that is not stained with any sex.
But now recalling the scene of that day, Jiang Yan suddenly felt warm in his ears, and his gaze fell on Xi Ran's lips intentionally or unintentionally. His lips were beautifully shaped, neither thick nor thin, and the color of his lips was like the color of peach blossoms, not dull Not overpowering, just the right color.
Seeing something wrong with his eyes, Xi Ran stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, muttering, "What are you thinking?"
Jiang Yan came back to his senses, cleared his throat, and shook his head slowly.
He has lived for at least a thousand years. He thought he was pure-hearted and abstained from sex, but he didn't expect that he was a womanizer.
He was flustered with embarrassment, and when he was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, Gu Santong walked towards their table.
Seeing Gu Santong's distinctive appearance, Xi Ran thought he was a fortune-teller, so he took a second look inadvertently.
Gu Santong pointed his nose with his finger, smiled and said, "Do you know me?"
Xi Ran shook his head: "I don't know, have we met?"
Jiang Yan looked at Gu Santong.
Gu Santong also took a look at Jiang Yan and shook his head: "I haven't seen it before. Jiang Yan and I are old friends."
Jiang Yan said, "He is a relative of Gu Yao."
"Hello." Xi Ran asked Gu Santong to sit down, "Would you like something to drink?"
Gu Santong stroked his small beard and shook his head like a rattle: "I'm not used to the tea in the western restaurant, so I won't drink it. I didn't come across you by chance today. Let's be honest, Jiang Yan, you Did you see it just now? The red string on Xu Ying's feet."
Jiang Yan nodded.
Xi Ran recalled for a while and said, "Red rope, why didn't I see it?"
Ancient Three Channels: "That little red rope is called Liuxian. It's something from the underworld. It's normal for you to not see it."
"Keep a line?" Xi Ran asked with a smile, "Everything stays a line, so when we meet in the future, who stays a line?"
"It's to keep a gleam of life." Jiang Yan asked, "Mr. Gu, are you here for Xu Ying?"
"On the contrary." Gu Santong squinted his eyes and said, "I'm here for Fang Hua, so I'm not going to be tricky anymore, so let's talk about it."
The ancient three links are concise and concise, and they can explain things clearly in a few words.
This left line first appeared in the Song Dynasty, and some people call it the Yin-Yang line.
It is rumored that there was a Weaver Girl in ancient times. Her five-year-old son died of an incurable disease soon. The couple heard that there was a miracle doctor who could cure all kinds of intractable diseases in the world, but the miracle doctor traveled around and did not have a fixed residence. Embarked on the long journey of seeking a doctor, leaving Zhinu to take care of the child at home.
The child's health was deteriorating and she was about to die, but her father-in-law did not come back. Zhinu shed tears every day to pray for heaven and earth, but one day her crying alarmed the passing gods. When the gods entered the house, Zhinu had already died He cried to death beside the bed, and the child only had a quarter of an hour to live.
After Zhinu died, she refused to reincarnate, and the three souls stayed in the room to take care of the children.
The god was moved by Zhinu, so he turned his obsession into a red string and tied it to the child's ankle, leaving him with a glimmer of life.
The next day, the husband came back with the miracle doctor, but he saw his wife lying silently on the cold ground, her body was stiff, and had been dead for a long time, but the child survived until the last moment and was saved by the miracle doctor.
This Xu Ying is sick, so I tied her with a thread, maybe I want to save her life and bring her back from the gate of hell. As long as the order of the world is not disturbed, and the matter of yin and yang is not under the control of the Gu family, it can really save people. Life, Gu Santong just opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and it passed away.
But the problem was with Fang Hua. All the artists Fang Hua had brought had lingering marks on their feet, so it was inevitable to put so many together by chance.
There must be something wrong with Fang Hua.
Xi Ran was confused, he thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Gu, what do you mean, all the artists under Fang Hua are sick?"
Gu Santong hesitated and said: "I don't know if I'm sick or not, but this thread of survival is transformed by the power of thought, and it is not easy to get. Everything has two sides. If this thread of life cannot be kept, and the thread left on Xu Ying's feet If the line can't be solved..."
Xi Ran asked: "What will happen then?"
Jiang Yan said: "You can neither reincarnate nor return to life, and end up stranded at the junction of Yin and Yang in the form of a lonely ghost."
Gu Santong said again: "I made a divination for Fang Hua a few days ago, and the divination showed great danger. I'm afraid that something bad will happen later.
They should have known each other for a long time, but Xi Ran didn't know it. Jiang Yan didn't know what immortality meant to Xi Ran, but Ruan Xiqing was clearly lonely and sad 18 years ago.
So Jiang Yan can only pretend that they just met each other, every time he speaks, he has to be careful not to mention the things of the year, every touch seems strange and familiar.
At the red light, the car stopped, and Xi Ran asked, "What are your plans after this incident? Have you found a job?"
"Not yet, I'll tell you when I find it."
After the matter of the mirror demon was resolved, Jiang Yan had explained the situation to Zhou Cong. Zhou Cong was dubious, but he didn't dare to offend the "Great Immortal". He happily gave the money and sent Jiang Yan away.

Summer is here in a blink of an eye, and in just a few months, the evil spirit in the city is getting stronger and stronger, and Gu Yao is busy shuttling between the streets and alleys every day.
Moqing wakes up. After the chaos in Penglai, many monsters came to the world. These monsters are not strong in mana, but they are numerous.
Jiang Shu found a new job in a coffee shop. The salary is a little higher than that of a convenience store, and the job is also leisurely. What makes him most happy is that the uniform is much better than before. The small bow tie with blue and white stripes looks very energetic.
The coffee shop was not too busy this morning, so Jiang Shu took a rag and wiped the tables.
Gu Yao was standing under the street lamp on the opposite side of the road, smoking lazily, his eyes wandering over him without blinking.
Jiang Shu saw him when he straightened up, and waved to him through the transparent glass. He put the rag back in its original place, and went out the door with a hop.
Gu Yao suddenly laughed, but he was really a rabbit.
"Why are you here?" Jiang Shu's bow tie was crooked, and when he spoke, he tilted his head slightly, and his bow tie was crooked.
Gu Yao put out the cigarette, stretched out his hand to help him straighten his bow tie, and said, "Come to catch a little monster who stole 'things', and I'll come to see you on the way."
Jiang Shu said "Oh". He hadn't seen Gu Yao for a while, and he didn't know what to say. After thinking for a long time, he suddenly said, "Let me help you catch monsters."
"No."
"Why not? Didn't my brother help you catch monsters?" Jiang Shu looked up at him, and asked cunningly, "How much did you give him?"
Gu Yao squeezed his cheek hard, and said with a dumb smile: "That's not something you can do, be your waiter."
Jiang Shu was hurt by his pinching, and he pushed his hand away forcefully, his cheeks turned red from being pinched, and even his eye sockets turned red when he was agitated.
If he didn't know that he was a rabbit spirit, Gu Yao would have thought he was about to cry.
Jiang Shu rubbed his face and said, "Then buy a cup of coffee and support my career."
Knowing his routine, Gu Yao took out 300 yuan from his wallet and asked him, "Is it enough?"
Jiang Shu put the money into his pocket with a smile, turned around and ran into the store.
Gu Yao leaned against the street lamp, staring at his round and upturned butt without blinking. He didn't know what was so good about this rabbit spirit. He was stupid, stupid, not diligent, and he knew how to eat, drink and play all day long.
But he just likes this silly rabbit, he likes it at the first sight, he is thoughtless, his thoughts are written on his face.
There is a saying that Jiang Yan said is correct. Although their ancient family can move freely in the world, it is actually a magic stick, relying on the protection of the ancestors' magic tools. He is the head of the family. If he combines with the demon, the whole family will be implicated.
He didn't dare decades ago, and he still doesn't dare now.
It's ridiculous. Tens of thousands of years ago, interracial love would be punished by heaven. Now God can't control the three realms and nine heavens. The world is in chaos, but he alone still can't like it as he wants.
Jiang Shu came out with the coffee, and brought a piece of cake to Gu Yao, and told him enthusiastically, "The manager of the coffee shop didn't ask me for money, and the cake also gave me a discount."
Gu Yao took the paper bag and said very seriously: "Really, it will cost 300 yuan after the discount."
Jiang Shu glared at him pretending to be ferocious, ran back into the store with a grunt, and waved back at him as he entered the door.
Gu Yao smiled at him, turned around and entered the alley.
*****
Although Jiang Shu is a little monster, he is also a monster who is afraid of heat.
There are many buildings in the city, but relatively little greenery. When he was practicing in Penglai in the past, Jiang Shu dug a small hole under the shade of trees by the lake.
This day happened to be at noon when the sun was at its peak, and the coffee shop took an order for takeaway, and the store manager asked him to deliver it just two streets away.
Jiang Shu couldn't be afraid of the heat. He knew that Jiang Yan was nearby today, so he hurried to the locker room to call him, and said in a roundabout way, "Brother, you're not very busy today, are you?"
There was a crackling sound from the other end of the phone, as if something had fallen to the ground, and then there were a few muffled bangs.
Jiang Yan pressed the mouse spirit's neck, pressed his face against the wall, held the phone in one hand, and said concisely: "Busy."
"What can you do?"
Jiang Yan knew that this stupid rabbit was a smart guy, so he stopped playing around with him and asked him directly, "Say, what do you want me to do."
"You help me to deliver a takeaway, I'll eat an ice cream."
Jiang Yan didn't catch his breath, and wanted to call him over the phone.
"I'll give you 10 minutes, come quickly."
Taking advantage of his inattention, the mouse spirit changed back to its original form, jumped out of his palm, and ran headlong into the sewer.
Jiang Yan put the phone back into his trouser pocket and stepped on the concrete floor.
The mouse spirit only felt dizzy in his head. For some reason, his body subconsciously walked backwards, got out from the railing of the sewer again, crawled back to Jiang Yan's feet, and lay on the ground unable to move.
Jiang Yan just stood there without moving, looking down at him with his head down.
The rat spirit knocked his forehead on the concrete floor in despair, and said to himself: "Why am I so unlucky, don't I just absorb a little bit of human energy? Really, there is only a little bit, and they should replenish their bodies to bask in the sun." The sun is coming back, what are you doing with these nosy things?"
"I can't help it. My current job is to meddle in my own business." Jiang Yan has never been decisive in doing things, let alone make him lose his mind. After thinking about it, he asked him: "Do you want to reincarnate immediately, or become a mouse with no magic power?" ?”
Rat spirits don't want to choose any of them. Foreign rats with no mana can be bullied to death?He thought for a long time and couldn't make a choice.
Jiang Yan saw that the time was almost up, and planned to send him to reincarnate.
The mouse spirit shrank back suddenly, and said with a mournful face: "I finally slipped away from Moqing, but I didn't expect to die in the hands of you, a passer-by. What a crime I have done."
"Mo Qing?" Jiang Yan couldn't help frowning, "Have you seen Mo Qing? Have you been to Penglai?"
Mouse Jing rolled his eyes: "I won't tell, if you want to know, you have to let me go."
Jiang Yan curled his lips and smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes.
The mouse spirit only felt numbness in his scalp, and suddenly felt hot all over his body, as if being roasted on a stove, his whole body was about to burn.
"I said, I said." The mouse spirit hurriedly begged for mercy, and the burning sensation on his body disappeared in an instant. He lay powerlessly on the ground, and said slowly: "I have never seen Moqing, nor have I been to Penglai, but I know someone is helping him find food."
"food?"
"That's right, that's right, it's food." The mouse spirit said again, "I heard that the Mo Qing killed a lot in Penglai 20 years ago and devoured a lot of cultivation. Now there is something in the world looking for food for him, just like a big Fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimp, do you know what I mean? We are those shrimp..."
The scene where they encountered abandonment at the rest stop 20 years ago suddenly appeared in Jiang Yan's mind. If what the mouse spirit said was true, then Mo Qing's hunt in the world had already begun.
Under Mouse Jing's repeated promises to beg for mercy, Jiang Yan finally let him go.
The mouse spirit disappeared as soon as he was let go. Jiang Yan took out a palm-sized notebook from his Qiankun bag, turned to a page in the middle, and crossed out the three words "mouse spirit" that he had just written this morning.
*****
Jiang Yan arrived at the destination with a few paper bags. The address Jiang Shu gave him was an open-air restaurant, which was directly opposite the road where he was standing now.
There is only one table in the restaurant, a man and a woman, but outside the restaurant, there are many people surrounded by three floors, some with umbrellas, some with their hands on their foreheads to block the sun, although there are quite a few people , but didn't go in, just stood outside watching the couple eating and chatting.
Jiang Yan knows that some seats need to be spent to sit down, just like going to a teahouse to listen to an opera hundreds of years ago, you have to order a pot of tea.
He walked to the entrance of the dining area, and when he was about to walk in, he was stopped by a man, "What are you doing? You can't enter here."
"Deliver food." Jiang Yan pushed his hand away and walked in.
The man tried to stop him, but he couldn't stop him. The self-proclaimed food delivery man obviously didn't have much strength in his hands, but he pushed him away very lightly.
Jiang Yan walked to the dining table and asked, "Is this your takeaway?"
The man and woman were stunned, staring at Jiang Yan in a daze.
The man who stopped him just now rushed in quickly after realizing his reaction, pointed at the camera, and yelled at Jiang Yan: "We are filming, do you know?"
Jiang Yan followed his finger to see the dark camera, then looked at the man and the woman, and said regretfully, "I don't know, sorry, whose takeaway is it?"
The actress laughed suddenly, looking straight at Jiang Yan, her laughter was as melodious as a silver bell.
Jiang Yan turned her head and glanced at her. The woman's facial features were exquisite, with willow eyebrows and big eyes, a small cherry mouth, a straight nose, and long black and beautiful hair.
The actress said with a smile: "Forget it, come and get someone's takeaway, hurry up and shoot, it's too hot."
"Sister Ying, you are really good-tempered, I'll take him out right away." The man pulled Jiang Yan out, and Jiang Yan turned his head to look at the woman again.
The man cursed in a low voice: "Still watching? Have you ever seen a woman?"
Jiang Yan lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. He didn't leave immediately after giving the takeaway, but stood outside the crowd, watching every move in the restaurant.
After watching for less than 3 minutes, someone patted him on the shoulder from behind.
Jiang Yan turned around, and what appeared in front of him was a boy he had never seen before, about 20 years old, with a white T-shirt, black trousers, a pair of brand new sneakers on his feet, and a black frame on the bridge of his nose Glasses and well-combed hair, he looks like a college student who has just entered the society, trying to make himself look mature, but in fact he is still a kid.
The boy put on a tiger face on purpose, trying to make himself look more imposing.
Jiang Yan glanced at him: "What's the matter?" Jiang Yan didn't like to smile very much, and when he didn't smile, he looked very serious. He didn't want to scare the boy in front of him, but his sudden casual glance made the boy feel very sharp.
The boy was flustered by his look, and his aura immediately faded away. He cleared his throat and said, "The iced coffee we ordered, why did it come with hot coffee!"
"Call the coffee shop." After Jiang Yan finished speaking, he turned back to look at the actress. It seemed that after the scene was over, the actors and actresses stood up from their chairs and entered the room to cool off.
The boy carefully poked Jiang Yan with his finger, and said timidly, "It's really a wrong delivery. Our director asked you to explain it to him."
Jiang Yan glanced at him impatiently.
The boy suddenly said: "Brother, I am an intern."
Jiang Yan took a breath and said, "Lead the way."
He followed the boy into the restaurant through the side door. After walking in, he realized that it was not actually a restaurant, but an exhibition hall similar to a pottery museum.
Without the intern's identification, Jiang Yan has already seen the director he said.
Leaning his back against the wall, the wind from the air conditioner was blowing towards his face, holding a coffee cup in his left hand, and playing with his mobile phone with one hand. Jiang Yan who was slowly walking towards him.

Xi Ran raised the corners of his lips with a half-smile, and asked lazily, "Is Xu Ying good-looking?"
Jiang Yan didn't know why, "Who is Xu Ying?"
"It's the girl whose eyeballs were about to fall out just now." Xi Ran lowered his head, using a straw to stir the ice cubes in the glass, but secretly looked at Jiang Yan's expression from the corner of his eye.
Jiang Yan turned the fan blades of the air conditioner up a little, touched Xi Ran's cheek with the back of his hand, and said after making sure that it was not too cold, "My eyeballs didn't fall out."
Xi Ran couldn't help laughing, looked up at Jiang Yan and asked, "Are you stupid?" His eyes were very big, and the ends of them were very long. When he laughed, his eyes were like crescent moons. He used to be called Ruan Xiqing. I don’t like to laugh very much, even when I smile, it’s always a shallow smile, which often makes people feel calm and quiet. Maybe now that Xi Ran has no worries, he has become especially fond of laughing. When he smiles, his eyes bend into a circle The arc always gives Jiang Yan a sweet and gentle feeling.
He felt that all the muscles in his body were agitated unconsciously, his body seemed to be under control, and his fingertips couldn't bear to touch Xi Ran's body, even if it was just to touch the corner of his clothes.
Seeing that he was not going to answer, Xi Ran didn't ask any more. He put the coffee cup on the window sill and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you helping Gu Yao catch monsters? Why did you go to deliver food? If you are short of money, tell me Said, you don’t need to pay it back, don’t run so hard to deliver food.”
"Just drop by to see a friend off." Jiang Yan's heart softened at Xi Ran's few words, and his eyes became extremely soft. He didn't know what to say, so he took out a mint candy from his pocket and tore it up. Open the wrapping paper and feed it to Xi Ran's lips.
Xi Ran bit the candy into his mouth and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome."
The two stood side by side, watching Xu Ying huddling and hugging while filming. Xi Ran's company planned a drama and planned to invite Xu Ying to act in it. Today, they specially invited Xu Ying's manager to dinner.
Xi Ran is not very familiar with Xu Ying, but he and her manager are old friends, and today he specially came to the set to pick her up.
Xu Ying's agent is Fang Hua. She just turned 30 this year. She used to be an actress. She has a slender figure, good looks, and acting skills. Unfortunately, before Fang Hua had time to become famous, she was caught in a fire. She was unlucky and hurt her face.
For young actresses, looks are more important than anything else. Fang Hua's stardom came to an end at the beginning. Later, she moved behind the scenes and became a manager, bringing out a few well-known artists.
Fang Hua's face was injured on the left side. The scar was not dark in color, but it hurt the skin near the corner of the eye, causing the left eye to pull down a bit, and the whole face looked unsymmetrical.
Fang Hua has a very gentle personality and always smiles warmly. She shook hands with Jiang Yan and enthusiastically asked him if he had eaten.
Jiang Yan shook his head: "Not yet, you go to eat, I'm going back too."
"Why don't you return it? Let's eat together if you haven't eaten. Don't feel embarrassed. Xi Ran and I are old friends, so don't be embarrassed." Fang Hua is very good at reading facial expressions, then looked at Xi Ran and joked: "Look at me An old friend, when I heard that you didn't eat, your face was pulled down."
Chatting here, Xu Ying's filming is almost over. According to the original plan, she planned to go back to the hotel to rest after filming, but suddenly she changed her mind, walked to Fang Hua, and asked with a smile: "Sister Hua, what are you talking about?" Why are you so happy, it's time for lunch, take me one?"
When Xu Ying walked, the sound of high heels hitting the ground was very crisp, and Jiang Yan subconsciously looked at her shoes.
They were a pair of red pointed-toed leather shoes with thin and high heels. Her legs were beautiful, and she looked taller in high heels, but what caught Jiang Yan's eyes the most was not the pair of red high heels, nor the pair of thin and tall shoes. Instead of her white legs, it was a thin scarlet thread tied around her ankle.
Jiang Yan only took one look and then looked away, but Xu Ying still saw it. She folded her arms and casually tapped the floor with the tip of her shoe, and the strong smell of perfume entered Jiang Yan's nose.
Fang Hua coughed twice, and said with a smile, "Okay, what's there to talk about standing here, let's go to the restaurant to continue chatting, let's go."
*****
At two o'clock in the noon, the sun shines on the ground like a big furnace, and there are bursts of heat on the asphalt road. On the head of the ancient three links, there is a melon skin hat, which is old and white, and it matches his face with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks. The old-fashioned Tang suit made of silk and satin on his body made him look more and more like an accountant.
Standing outside the crowded crowd, Gu Santong saw Jiang Yan's back through the moving heads. He wasn't quite sure if that person was Jiang Yan. He fished out his pockets and took out his pair of round-rimmed glasses. , half-framed on the bridge of the nose, squinted and looked carefully.
"Boss, Xu Ying seems to be leaving."
Gu Santong took off the melon cap on his head and asked the younger brother who was talking to hold it for him, then slowly put the glasses back into his pocket, and said: "I saw that she was still with Jiang Yan, drive the car over, follow They, look where they go."
Gu Santong followed them to the restaurant, but was stopped by the doorman when he entered.
The restaurant is a membership system, and if you are not a member, you have to be brought in. Gu Santong touched his chin, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Then I will get a membership card now, how much is it?"
"Master, our membership card here cannot be obtained with money."
"It seems that I can only think of other ways..."
*****
Before the chair under Jiang Yan's butt was warm, he saw Gu Santong walking in swaggeringly, followed by a blinded doorman.
Gu Santong winked at Jiang Yan, raised his index finger in a silent gesture, and then sat down in a corner.
Although the location is in the corner, the viewing angle is excellent, especially since Jiang Yan's table is directly in front of him, and Jiang Yan's face can be seen as soon as he looks up.
Jiang Yan put down the menu in his hand, and exchanged glances with Gu Santong.
While flipping through the menu, Xi Ran distractedly asked Jiang Yan, "What do you want to eat?"
"It's all in English, I can't understand it."
Xi Ran glanced at him with a smile, and said in a low voice, "It's okay, I'll help you order. What do you want for the main course? Steak or lamb chops?"
"It's all right, you decide." Jiang Yan simply closed the menu and listened carefully to Xi Ran's words.
Fang Hua couldn't help laughing: "Director Xi, I've never seen you be so careful."
"Nonsense, I've always been so careful." Xi Ran helped Jiang Yan order food and ordered an extra dessert. He knew that Jiang Yan liked sweets, so he told Jiang Yan the names of these exaggerated desserts, and Jiang Yan agreed. May not understand.
Xu Ying actually doesn't understand English very well, but she can't close the menu as calmly as Jiang Yan.
She was wearing a valuable new dress and expensive jewelry, and she was accompanied by assistant bodyguards when she went in and out. Hua had a good life.
This delivery man named Jiang Yan is obviously the same as her. He is doing low-level work, wearing T-shirts without even a brand name, does not understand English, and does not even understand basic western food etiquette. But even so, this man is like He is a well-known nobleman whose family fortune has fallen, revealing an arrogance from the bottom of his bones.
Xu Ying lowered her head and smiled bitterly, but when she raised her head again, her eyes showed a strong interest in Jiang Yan.
"I'll just order the same one as Sister Hua." Xu Ying crossed her legs and rested her cheek with her left hand. She was sitting next to Jiang Yan's left. Does Mr. Jiang deliver food full-time? Or part-time on weekends?"
"Aying!" Fang Hua gave Xu Ying a reproachful look.
Xu Ying said with a smile: "The industry is equal, what's the matter, Mr. Jiang won't mind?"
Xi Ran leaned on the back of the chair and looked at Xu Ying opposite with a half-smile.
Jiang Yan glanced at Xu Ying and shook his head: "You're mistaken, I'm not a delivery guy."
Xu Ying obviously didn't expect this, she looked at Jiang Yan's appearance, thought that he and Xi Ran knew each other, pondered for a long time, wondering if she made a mistake, where could this Jiang Yan be a big shot?
Xu Ying turned her head, but her mouth remained straight. She opened her mouth and asked, "Then what are you doing?"
Jiang Yan frowned impatiently: "Unemployed."
Xu Ying burst out laughing, covered her mouth and smiled for a while before saying, "Why don't you come to be my assistant, how about I give you [-] for a month?"
The more Xu Ying said, the more outrageous she became. Jiang Yan turned around and looked her in the eyes, and said for a while, "I think what you need now is not an assistant, but a doctor."
Xu Ying's smile froze on her face, "What do you mean? You say I'm sick?"
"You misunderstood, I didn't mean that." Jiang Yan glanced at her ankle, "I'll look at her face, your complexion is not very good, and Yintang is also a little dark, so be careful."
Xu Ying brushed the broken hair behind her ears, smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, I'm sorry, I thought you were scolding me. But are you joking? I'm in good health and I don't feel sick."
"Aying, I want to go to the bathroom, so you accompany me." Fang Hua still had a smile on her face, but her tone was hard to question.
Xu Ying's expression suddenly changed. She stood up with Fang Hua and walked to the bathroom together.
As soon as they left, Jiang Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, he was really not very good at dealing with women.
The waiter brought up the meals one after another, but Xi Ran didn't eat a bite, and looked at him with a smile on his face, "How about it, when are you going to be Xu Ying's assistant?"
"Don't talk in a weird way, why don't you eat?"
"I can't eat. My personal bodyguard is going to be someone else's assistant. I'm already full." Xi Ran glanced at Jiang Yan leisurely, and gestured towards Jiang Yan with a fork.
Jiang Yan was amused by him, lowered his head and cut off a small piece of steak, and fed it to Xi Ran's mouth, "Eat, stop joking."
Xi Ran opened his mouth to bite down on the steak, and said while chewing: "I'm not joking, I'm just jealous."
"Jealous?" Jiang Yan asked in surprise, "Why are you jealous?"
Xi Ran avoided answering, and changed the topic: "Try my lobster salad, I ate it last time, and it tastes good."

After Xu Ying washed her hands, she dried them with a hand dryer, and then wiped them carefully with a paper towel. After making sure that there were no water beads between her fingers, she reapplied her face in the mirror.
Fang Hua was standing next to her, applying her lipstick. She said to Xu Ying in the mirror, "Don't you usually wash your face? Why are you so careful, this face won't be so easy to stain."
Xu Ying twirled her cheeks with her fingertips, and replied slowly, "I also want to be careful."
"It's good that you know." Fang Hua gave her a cold look, "Also, let me tell you, pay attention to your image, don't get angry when you see a man, 1 yuan is not enough for this meal, it's useless to let people see You made a joke, are you afraid that others will not know that you are a village girl from a poor place?"
This sentence stepped on Xu Ying's painful feet, and her anger was suddenly ignited, and she blurted out: "Isn't this better, aren't you always worried that I have feelings with your husband? I have a wild man outside, You don’t have to defend me like a thief.”
After Xu Ying finished speaking, she regretted it. Fang Hua turned around and looked at her steadily, her eyes calm.
The calmer Fang Hua was, the more frightened Xu Ying felt. She flinched and took a step back. At this moment, Fang Hua slapped her across the face, grabbed her hair and slammed her against the mirror.
Just as Xu Ying was slapped, her head hit the mirror again, she was dizzy, she didn't dare to struggle, she could only look at Fang Hua with begging eyes.
Fang Hua gritted her teeth and said, "Remember, I give you everything for you. Only by doing your part, I can give you what you want, otherwise I will tear your face right away!"
Seeing the scar on Fang Hua's face, Xu Ying was in a daze and nodded subconsciously.
Fang Hua let go of Xu Ying, continued to touch up her makeup in the mirror, and said calmly, "Clean up your appearance, and don't bother with that delivery man anymore. Xi Ran has a big shot behind him, and you can't tease his friends." of."
"I see." Xu Ying licked her lips, and hurriedly took out the powder puff in her makeup bag. She secretly looked at Fang Hua in the mirror while touching up her makeup.
She and Fang Hua have never been the same kind of people, just like now, she just wants to wipe off the lipstick on her lips, sit down and eat something, and fill her hungry stomach, but Fang Hua makes up for it at this time. lipstick.
*****
Gu Santong ordered a cup of black coffee, but he didn't intend to drink it, and threw six or seven cubes of sugar into it as if playing. Even so, he felt that this cup of coffee was not as boring as Jiang Yan and Xi Ran's.
15 minutes after the two women went to the bathroom, the two were bored for 15 minutes, and the intimacy was close to mouth to mouth feeding.
That Jiang Yan was full of masculinity, but when he was with Xi Ran, the two of them were like a piece of fudge, sweet and sticky.
Gu Santong couldn't take it anymore and rolled his eyes. At this moment, Xu Ying and Fang Hua came out of the bathroom. When passing by Gu Santong, Gu Santong covered his mouth with his cup and took a small sip of coffee. Almost spit out the sweetness.
He put down his cup and glanced at Xu Ying. The red string on Xu Ying's feet was getting thinner...
Fang Hua and Xi Ran originally came to eat for the drama, but the drama is still in the planning stage, and there is nothing to talk about in detail. They treat it as old friends having a meal to catch up and explore the situation. If there is a possibility of cooperation Next, we will go deeper.
Xu Ying didn't have much control over her work. In fact, she had to rely on Fang Hua both inside and out. She was not in a good mood today, so she just buried herself in eating.
In the middle of the meal, Xu Ying had to accept an important interview temporarily. Fang Hua and Xi Ran greeted each other and took Xu Ying away early.
Jiang Yan spooned a piece of tiramisu into his mouth, chewing while watching Xu Ying's back gradually leaving.
Xi Ran followed his gaze and said speechlessly, "Don't look, it's been a long time, what are you looking at?"
Xi Ran said that being jealous was just joking and making trouble with Jiang Yan. He still has some observation skills, and Jiang Yan definitely didn't like Xu Ying because he liked her.
Jiang Yan looked away, took another bite of the cake, and said, "She is dying, what kind of cake is this? It's delicious."
"You mean she...she's going to die?" Xi Ran stared blankly at Jiang Yan.
"Human death and reincarnation, reincarnation, this is a very normal cycle, don't feel pity."
Xi Ran's throat moved, and he took a sip of lemonade, but his eyes were a little uncomfortable.
For the gods, this seems to be an endless cycle, but for him, death means that he will forget Jiang Yan. He doesn't know why, but he suddenly starts to fear death, and also fears that Jiang Yan will not come after reincarnation look for him.
Xi Ran asked the waiter to remove all the cups and plates from the table. He managed his expression and asked casually, "Will your appearance change after reincarnation?"
"Humans have three souls and seven souls. After death, the three souls are reincarnated, and the seven souls dissipate in the world. After being reborn as a human, new seven souls will be generated. Both appearance, physique and personality will change. The so-called immortal cultivation is a process of refining the three souls. The process of going to Qipo." Jiang Yan turned to look at him, "Why are you asking this?"
"It's nothing, just ask casually, um... Is tiramisu delicious? Order another to take home."
Jiang Yan had also eaten this kind of bittersweet sweets before. That kind of snack is called chocolate, and it is everywhere in the streets now, but it was rare in Taoyuan Town at that time. It was the first time he and Xi Ran kissed. It is the intimacy that is not stained with any sex.
But now recalling the scene of that day, Jiang Yan suddenly felt warm in his ears, and his gaze fell on Xi Ran's lips intentionally or unintentionally. His lips were beautifully shaped, neither thick nor thin, and the color of his lips was like the color of peach blossoms, not dull Not overpowering, just the right color.
Seeing something wrong with his eyes, Xi Ran stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes, muttering, "What are you thinking?"
Jiang Yan came back to his senses, cleared his throat, and shook his head slowly.
He has lived for at least a thousand years. He thought he was pure-hearted and abstained from sex, but he didn't expect that he was a womanizer.
He was flustered with embarrassment, and when he was embarrassed and didn't know what to say, Gu Santong walked towards their table.
Seeing Gu Santong's distinctive appearance, Xi Ran thought he was a fortune-teller, so he took a second look inadvertently.
Gu Santong pointed his nose with his finger, smiled and said, "Do you know me?"
Xi Ran shook his head: "I don't know, have we met?"
Jiang Yan looked at Gu Santong.
Gu Santong also took a look at Jiang Yan and shook his head: "I haven't seen it before. Jiang Yan and I are old friends."
Jiang Yan said, "He is a relative of Gu Yao."
"Hello." Xi Ran asked Gu Santong to sit down, "Would you like something to drink?"
Gu Santong stroked his small beard and shook his head like a rattle: "I'm not used to the tea in the western restaurant, so I won't drink it. I didn't come across you by chance today. Let's be honest, Jiang Yan, you Did you see it just now? The red string on Xu Ying's feet."
Jiang Yan nodded.
Xi Ran recalled for a while and said, "Red rope, why didn't I see it?"
Ancient Three Channels: "That little red rope is called Liuxian. It's something from the underworld. It's normal for you to not see it."
"Keep a line?" Xi Ran asked with a smile, "Everything stays a line, so when we meet in the future, who stays a line?"
"It's to keep a gleam of life." Jiang Yan asked, "Mr. Gu, are you here for Xu Ying?"
"On the contrary." Gu Santong squinted his eyes and said, "I'm here for Fang Hua, so I'm not going to be tricky anymore, so let's talk about it."
The ancient three links are concise and concise, and they can explain things clearly in a few words.
This left line first appeared in the Song Dynasty, and some people call it the Yin-Yang line.
It is rumored that there was a Weaver Girl in ancient times. Her five-year-old son died of an incurable disease soon. The couple heard that there was a miracle doctor who could cure all kinds of intractable diseases in the world, but the miracle doctor traveled around and did not have a fixed residence. Embarked on the long journey of seeking a doctor, leaving Zhinu to take care of the child at home.
The child's health was deteriorating and she was about to die, but her father-in-law did not come back. Zhinu shed tears every day to pray for heaven and earth, but one day her crying alarmed the passing gods. When the gods entered the house, Zhinu had already died He cried to death beside the bed, and the child only had a quarter of an hour to live.
After Zhinu died, she refused to reincarnate, and the three souls stayed in the room to take care of the children.
The god was moved by Zhinu, so he turned his obsession into a red string and tied it to the child's ankle, leaving him with a glimmer of life.
The next day, the husband came back with the miracle doctor, but he saw his wife lying silently on the cold ground, her body was stiff, and had been dead for a long time, but the child survived until the last moment and was saved by the miracle doctor.
This Xu Ying is sick, so I tied her with a thread, maybe I want to save her life and bring her back from the gate of hell. As long as the order of the world is not disturbed, and the matter of yin and yang is not under the control of the Gu family, it can really save people. Life, Gu Santong just opened his eyes and closed his eyes, and it passed away.
But the problem was with Fang Hua. All the artists Fang Hua had brought had lingering marks on their feet, so it was inevitable to put so many together by chance.
There must be something wrong with Fang Hua.
Xi Ran was confused, he thought for a while and asked, "Mr. Gu, what do you mean, all the artists under Fang Hua are sick?"
Gu Santong hesitated and said: "I don't know if I'm sick or not, but this thread of survival is transformed by the power of thought, and it is not easy to get. Everything has two sides. If this thread of life cannot be kept, and the thread left on Xu Ying's feet If the line can't be solved..."
Xi Ran asked: "What will happen then?"
Jiang Yan said: "You can neither reincarnate nor return to life, and end up stranded at the junction of Yin and Yang in the form of a lonely ghost."
Gu Santong said again: "I made a divination for Fang Hua a few days ago, and the divination showed great danger. I'm afraid that something bad will happen later.
