(thirteen)

It was still cold on the plane. Ning Linfeng was covered with a blanket and watched English movies with headphones plugged in. In order to prevent his mind from wandering, he closed his eyes and listened while translating. More than ten hours passed like this.

It was 08:30 when I landed, and I went out after tossing for a while, and it was already past ten o'clock in the airport hall.Ning Linfeng checked the time, took a taxi to the shopping mall, went to the store where he usually bought clothes, and carried five sets from inside to outside, before returning to the hotel.Thinking that there was still a tough battle to be fought at night, he took a shower, ordered something from the hotel to force him to eat, and then went to bed and lay down for a while.

He can't sleep.

He was a little flustered.

He didn't know how to face Qinzhou.

They had known each other for more than ten years, but for the first time, he didn't know how to face Qinzhou.

He wanted to know why, but he felt that the matter had reached this point, no matter what the reason was, it didn't matter anymore.

The day goes by quickly.

He got up from the bed at six o'clock in the evening, washed his face and washed away all his fatigue, pain and sorrow. He shaved his beard carefully, put on his clothes, combed his hair, and tidied his tie. When he went out, he was still the impeccable Ning Linfeng.

When he walked into the restaurant, no one could see him, and the first thing he saw was Qin Zhou who was sitting across from him. Seeing Qin Zhou's obviously relieved to see him, he thought ironically in his heart, afraid that I wouldn't come?Isn't it just that you couldn't find me and tried your best to force me to come back to meet you?

He suddenly settled down, and thought again, you have the face to see me again, so what am I afraid of?

Seeing him coming, Qin Zhou got up and walked towards him, he subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but before he could move, he saw a person rushing over and hugging him.

He was about to push, when the man pulled away a little and called him, "Brother!"

Ning Linfeng stopped pushing people, and his voice was full of doubts: "Lin Ran?"

Lin Ran nodded happily, and said with a smile, "It's me." After speaking, he pulled Ning Linfeng over to hug him, rubbed his hair, and then let him go, and asked with concern, "Are you still feeling bad today? Have dinner?" Is it gone?"

Ning Linfeng heard his concern, although he still didn't understand what was going on in his mind, he still replied: "It's much better, I drank some porridge at noon."

Lin Ran frowned when he heard this: "Why do you always drink porridge? I drank porridge yesterday in London, and I drank porridge again today."

Ning Linfeng finally had the time to ask, "Why are you here?" He looked in again at the people who were eating, they were indeed those from the Western world, and thought, what's going on, is the Western world still a cowherd? Business?

Seeing his expression, Lin Ran knew what was going on in his mind, and answered directly, "I came with my boss." Then he dragged Ning Linfeng to Zhang Lan, the general manager of Xishi, and introduced Ning Linfeng, " This is my boss." He said to his boss carelessly, "Boss, this is my patron." He still thought that this sentence was not a big splash, so he continued, "I just took care of me the day before yesterday, boss, I just have it now. You are a backer, you have to treat me better in the future."

Table full of people: ? ? ?

A table full of people: ...

All the people at the table looked at Qin Zhou who was standing aside.

The atmosphere was awkward for a moment.

Ning Linfeng also looked at Qin Zhou, seeing this man frowning, his face turned green, he wished he could kill him on the spot.

It would be a lie to say he was puzzled, Ning Linfeng savored Qin Zhou's expression, and almost laughed, he gave Lin Ran a look like you were waiting for me, and then stretched out his hand to Zhang Lan, saying very kindly: "Mr. Zhang, long time no see."

Zhang Lan is 37 years old, a strong woman, because she really likes gossip, so she plunged into the entertainment circle after graduation, and went smoothly all the way to the general manager in Xishi.She has long heard that Ning Linfeng and Qinzhou are a couple, so before coming to dinner today, she thought it was a show of cooperation and love, but she didn't expect that Lin Ran from their company was so proud of her that he single-handedly cut the romance into pieces An earth-shattering party enshrined a starlet's dog blood film.

The soul of gossip is burning in her heart, but the cooperation still needs to be discussed. After admiring the expression of one of the protagonists, she accepts it as soon as she sees it. She looks away, and quickly reaches out to shake hands with Ning Linfeng, saying: "Mr. Ning, Long time no see." After speaking, his eyes flew to Lin Ran, and he forcefully explained, "Lin Ran is used to talking nonsense, don't be as knowledgeable as him."

Ning Linfeng originally wanted to go along with the flow and get the topic out of the way, but before he even opened his mouth, Lin Ran was dissatisfied. He was a big man in [-], and he was very pretentious. The little bird clung to Ning Linfeng and said, "Brother, don't listen to me. Mr. Zhang said bad things about me, I'm super sensible and considerate, I'm going to take a bath by myself after we're done that day!"

Zhang Lan thought: What do you mean?Lin Ran, the little bastard, looked fierce on the surface, but ended up being the next one with Ning Linfeng?What's going on?Could it be the legendary "suffering for love"?

The hearts of the others at the dinner table: Wow, what a big scene!

Ning Linfeng thought in his heart: ...Indeed, you not only bathed yourself, but also bathed me by the way.Looking at it this way, it seems that I can't refute anything.

So he took a look at Lin Ran and said, "Okay, stop messing around."

Lin Ran was like a puppy, wagging his tail, very obedient: "Yeah!"

Then, Ning Linfeng greeted everyone next to each other, and finally looked at Qinzhou who was standing not far away, and said with a smile: "Boss Qin, sit down too, everyone sit down, why, stand up and welcome me?" ?”

Everyone laughed when they heard it.

Qin Zhou's face turned pale, he forced a smile, and sat back without saying anything.

Lin Ran pulled out a chair for Ning Linfeng at the farthest position from Qinzhou, and then sat beside him.When they were talking, Lin Ran didn't talk much, he just kept serving Ning Linfeng food, afraid that the people at the table wouldn't see how attentive and sensible he was.

Ning Linfeng also gave him face, he picked it up, and he would eat a couple of bites occasionally.

Lin Ran looked at his profile from the side, and saw that he was still crying silently when he was in London, but he was talking and laughing like nothing had happened one day, and he felt proud and distressed at the same time.

He followed Ning Linfeng back to the country, and as soon as he came back, he went to the company to recommend himself to their general manager, Zhang Lan. He said with reason and grounds that it was the first time everyone had a meal, and they couldn't really talk about anything serious, and they always needed a few good-looking little stars to help. Adding to the fun, and maybe being appreciated by others, what a good opportunity there is.Zhang Lan knew that I would not sell his face as the king of the sky, so he thought he was enlightened, so she agreed, and brought a few newcomers along by the way.

Lin Ran and the others came early, and as soon as he came in, he saw Qin Zhou. He sneered in his heart, and waited for Ning Linfeng to come over, then he told him all the little milk dog strategies he saw on the plane.

At the moment when the group of people were talking, he saw Ning Linfeng put down his chopsticks, so he leaned over and whispered into his ear, "Take another bite."

Ning Linfeng's ears were numb from the blowing, he forced himself not to hide, and replied, "Stay away from me and talk well."

Lin Ran pursed his mouth, propped his left elbow on the table, and turned the back of his hand outwards, enough for everyone except Ning Linfeng to see the ring on his ring finger at a glance. His voice was full of grievances, and he said, "What's the matter, The distance between the two of us was still negative the day before yesterday, but today I can’t get any closer? You want to give up, don’t you?”

Ning Linfeng didn't catch his breath, he choked in his throat, coughed twice, his face turned red immediately.
