Food Bureau

I don't know what I said to her again, I just remember hanging up the phone and running downstairs with my room card and mobile phone, the oxygen in the room seemed to be insufficient.

I didn't feel sleepy at all, I was already suffering from jet lag, and now I knew that Xiao Ziyan was undergoing surgery, so I didn't feel sleepy anymore, but what really excited me was Ah You's instigation, she asked me to confess my love.

It's so cold outside!But this is exactly what I need.I went around to the small garden in the backyard of the hotel, shivering and mechanically climbed the small steps, up and down...and so on.

I can ask Shang Wan a lot of things, under the guise of seeking the truth, because I haven't reached the last layer of window paper.But if I want to confess and tell her that I like her, I will either be told that I will be wrong and be rejected by her, and all the kindness to her before will appear insignificant... Or, if the confession is successful, then what?In the fairy tale, the prince and the princess can finally be together, but they are the prince and the princess, Shang Wan is the princess, what am I?

What can I give her?If I start this relationship at this time, I will undoubtedly rely on her for everything, otherwise I will not be able to live on the same level as her, and I will not be able to pull her to my height, so I can only join her. ability to do it.Besides, I don't know what her identity and her family have brought her, whether there is any resistance that I can't imagine.

Just as I was thinking about it, the phone vibrated in my trousers pocket. I stopped climbing the stairs nervously. It was Shang Wan's phone.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

I held my breath, "Get ready for bed."

There was no sound for a long time, "Look up." She said.

I didn't understand what she meant for a while, I paused, suddenly my heart was agitated, I suddenly looked up, on the huge European-style balcony, she was holding a red wine glass, looking at me in the small garden.

I smiled awkwardly, "Okay, how long have you been spying on me here?"

"I just saw it, how is Xiao Ziyan?"

"It's undergoing surgery, and the ribs are connected, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Well, can't you sleep? Would you like to have a drink with me on the balcony?"

I thought hard, "It's better to go back to sleep, you should drink less and go to bed early."

She stood there without moving or making a sound. After a long time, she said "um", hung up the phone, turned and walked back to the room.

I stood there alone, looking up at the empty balcony at a sixty-degree angle, she seemed unhappy, but I don't know if it was me, after all, she was drinking alone before.

I stayed up until Xiao Ziyan's operation was over, and knowing she was fine, I fell asleep for about three or four hours.As usual, I didn’t meet Shang Wan when I went to eat in the morning. She should have eaten in the room, and I didn’t contact her again. expected.

This day is full of meetings, visits to new hotels, working meals, and meetings. When the meeting ends at [-]:[-] p.m., we drink coffee so much that we start to feel dizzy and immune to caffeine. We go back to the hotel room and lean back on the bed. , just fell asleep.

When I woke up again, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and I sat up, feeling hungry.

There are a few missed calls from Ayou on the phone, don't you sleep at night?There is also a message from Shang Wan asking where I am, and Jing Yi also sent me a message asking where I am, I don't know if they are looking for me separately or together.

Things are prioritized, so I will call Ah You first, and rummage through the house to see if there is anything I can eat.

"You finally think of me," Ah You said angrily, "Did you drown in your gentle hometown?"

"What? I was exhausted after working all day, and I fell asleep until now when I came back, and I haven't eaten yet."

"Then hurry up and eat something, don't ruin your body."

"What nonsense, what's the matter with a few life-threatening serial calls? How is sister Ziyan?"

"She's okay, and she refuses to let me contact her parents. She hired a doctor herself, and with me, she can handle it."

"Hey... That's good. So what's going on with the burning ice?"

"What the hell! I just wanted to tell you about this. She found Shang Wan's lawyer, who is helping her with bail! The police have called out the monitoring! She is riding a motorcycle well, and there is no external force at all. She slammed into the railing of the bridge without fail! Zi Yan also said that she was inexplicable at the time, and she slammed into it before she could react, and she was thrown far away! Fortunately, she didn't fall off the bridge and fell into the water! What do you say? Shi Shangwan asked the lawyer to release her on bail?! Has your conscience been eaten by a dog??"

I took a breath and thought for a while, "Impossible, Shang Wan personally told the lawyer yesterday that she would not be guaranteed, and I was right next to her, and I could hear it clearly!"

"Then what's going on? Could it be that the lawyer violated her will? Impossible! She must have changed her mind again, you can ask her! How can a scum like Zhuo Bing be protected? Are you worthy of Xiao Ziyan?"

"Don't worry, I'll ask her."

I hung up the phone helplessly, and the matter of Zhuo Bing became more and more confusing. If Shang Wan really instructed her to guarantee it, then she would be too boring.

I turned to the message that Shang Wan sent me just now, and replied: I just fell asleep, where are you now?I want to see you.

She replied almost instantly: It's downstairs, come down.

I rushed to the bathroom for 3 minutes to wash up, took my belongings and rushed downstairs.

When I walked to the lobby, I looked around and didn't see her. I was about to call her and received a message from her: I'm outside, in a blue car.

ah?I walked outside, and sure enough there was a royal blue coupe parked at the gate, what do you mean?I walked over, the window was open, and Shang Wan was sitting in the driver's seat.

"If you reply to my message two minutes later, I will leave," she said with a smile, "Come on."

I opened the car door hesitantly, saw that there was no one in the back seat, and sat in, "What do you mean?"

"The car I rented has just been delivered and I was about to go for a drive when your news came in."

"Oh... Then did I delay your ride?"

"Let's go together!" She said and started the car, "Seat belt."

I just got into her car and left the hotel in such a daze, I touched my pocket, fortunately, I brought the wallet, otherwise it would be embarrassing if I encountered something to pay later, she turned to look at me and smiled Laughing, "What's the matter? Afraid I'll sell you out?"

"That's not to be afraid, you are also a businessman, and you must know that this business will not recoup the capital."

She laughed, "What money do I have?"

I really wonder, why is she in a good mood tonight?I shrugged, "You are so energetic, you can go for a ride after a busy day."

Her car drove out of the thick street and headed towards the open seaside road, "Actually, I slept for a while after dinner, and I woke up to ask if you want to go for a drive together at night, but you haven't come back yet. .”

"Well, that's really a coincidence," I thought for a while, "Shang Wan, do you know that your lawyer went to protect Zhuobing?"

She was silent, and this silence made my heart fall to the bottom.

After a while, "Well, I approved it."

"why??"

"After returning to the hotel last night, something happened..."

I interrupted her, "Just when you were drinking on the balcony?"

"Huh? I was thinking about it then."

The car enters the coastal road, and there is endless blackness in the distance. You know that there is the sea and the sky, but they are like things under the magician's cloth, you know it is there, but you can't see it.But there is a slightly curved line in the black, which is the light on the sea-crossing bridge, which makes you believe that the sea and the sky are real.

"Consider what?" I asked.

She sighed a long time, "Lai, when I went to eat at your place for the first time, what was the song you played? It seems that there is a line that says 'if there is'?"

"Huh? Isn't it Sir?"

She shook her head, "The only one that wasn't jazz all night, can you still remember?"

I thought about it, and went to fiddle with my mobile phone. I seemed to have some impressions. I found a song in my playlist and played it. Karen Mok's voice was lazy and tender: If there is, if...even if meeting is the beginning of parting.

"Yes, this is it."

"This song is called "Even if"."

She adjusted the car screen with one hand, "Have you turned on Bluetooth?"

"Well, let's see...it's on, my phone is an 'Iphone from here'."

"it is good."

She fiddled with it again, and I received an application to connect to Bluetooth, and confirmed that the song was played on the car stereo. With this long coastline, it seemed that it could stretch into dreamland.

But what about my problem?Why did you go to save the burning ice?

"Shang Wan..." I was about to ask again, when I heard another sentence "Even if meeting is the countdown to parting..." I don't know why, she sang calmly, but I felt sad from it. Are there so many calculations?

I suddenly wondered, was she standing alone on the terrace in the light rain that night, was her mood affected by this song?

"I have reached an agreement with Zhuo Bing," she suddenly continued the topic, "I will help her out on bail this time, and she will leave China and go back to Italy, and will never have anything to do with the Shang family again."

I was stunned, "It seems that she and you, the monk's family, had a deep relationship before."

"Let's put it this way, maybe it's not with me. I told you that I don't have that kind of relationship with her. I've never been in love or had an affair with her. Please believe this. What you guessed that day... gone."

"Then why did she keep saying that you owed her? I remember you said something similar. Why did you pay the bill in the end?"

"Fang, in this world, not all debts are love debts, right?"

"But she said you cheated on her."

Shang Wan was stunned, "Did she say that?"

"At that time, she didn't directly mention your name, but she said that she was still entangled with this woman who cheated on her. She said that this woman owed her and would help her clean up all the mess, but she kept making troubles to deal with this. Woman, who is it but you? That night you threw 10 yuan to that peripheral girl to help Zhuo Bing clean up the mess!"

Shang Wan shook her head, "She's a lunatic," paused, "Zhao Bing is a little crazy, you can't listen to everything she says, but I sympathize with her."

"Just...she is a lunatic and that explains everything?"

"I can't tell you about the Shang family now. Please understand...maybe it will be in the future. Everything will be over in the future. Maybe it's just an old thing. As for myself, I'm innocent."

"Well..." I suddenly felt quite embarrassed, "Well, I'm just... a little worried that you won't be able to get rid of her." I found a good-sounding reason for my behavior.

"Really? You came to ask me because of this? Just like before, you came to question me all kinds of things, really because of Xiao Ziyan?"

The content of these words was extremely sharp, but the tone was very soft. I looked at her with a guilty conscience, but saw her smiling sideways.

She parked the car on a viewing platform, "Let's look at the sea here." She said.

The car stopped, and the music also stopped long ago. There was only silence in the car, the quiet air and the quiet Shang Wan. My heart had no place to hide.

She held up the prayer wheel pendant around her neck, "I've always been wearing this necklace." She said, turning her head and smiling at me.

My heart was about to jump out, it was about to jump out, my throat tightened up, and my voice was a little hoarse, "I actually..." I coughed lightly, "Thought about us...I think, I really do now It's nothing."

"I understand your concerns, but I can help you, don't refuse my help, can you?"

"That's what I want to avoid..."

Just as I was about to say something more, the phone rang suddenly, and it came from the car stereo, which startled both of us.

Who is this? !I frantically went to cut it off, and looked, it was Ah You.

I coughed twice again, "I'm sorry."

Shang Wan turned down the volume of the stereo, "Why should it be avoided?"

I didn't know how to answer for a while, and I had to start with my principles of life. Fortunately, Ayou, the reminder, sent another message: Hurry up and call me back!hurry!

I curled my lips, "I'll go out and make a phone call. Ah You is in a hurry, maybe it's from the hospital."

"Okay, let's go."

I got out of the car and dialed Ah You, but she answered it before I heard the ring.

"Hello? Hello?" There was no sound in the earphones, maybe the signal here was not good, so I subconsciously shifted my position.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Shang Wan stepping out of the car and looking towards me, Ah You's voice finally came, so I concentrated on talking to her.

"Seat? Seat? Can you hear me?"

"Well, you can tell me."

"I heard that the bail is done! That scumbag is going to come out and continue to make troubles? Have you asked your Shang Wan why she did this?"

"Well... don't worry, I asked, Shang Wan has a better solution, Zhuo Bing should not be able to contact Sister Ziyan in the future."

"Oh, is it black? Do you want to get rid of her?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Anyway, I believe what Shang Wan said. We only need to know the result. Why bother with these unimportant processes?" Looking at the sea by the side of the car, I suddenly felt that my voice was too loud.

"Sure enough, you turned your back on the enemy and joined the enemy army! Since ancient times, the beauty trick has been tried repeatedly, and I saw it with my own eyes today!"

I lowered my voice, "What the hell! I won't tell you anymore, I'm outside with her!" I went to look at Shang Wan again, only to see her turn around and open the car door, and got in.

There was no sound in the earphones again. I fed for a long time before I found Ah You's voice, "What did you just say? I didn't even hear it."

"I said, after all, you're still going to Wenrouxiang! Look at you, you've been fascinated by her ever since you saw her. At that time, in order to make tofu for her, you risked your life drinking poisoned wine in exchange for that piece of tofu. You can see it! Later, in order to find some 'living' dried plums for her, I went all the way to the countryside to inquire from house to house. Do you dare to tell them? Look at how cool you are, and when you meet Shang Wan, you will be scared !"

"It's okay, I'm really sick, I'm watching the sea, if I insist on running out, I'll be scolded by you, and I'll hang up!"

I hung up the phone, turned around and walked to the car, just a few steps away, suddenly my whole body trembled, and my blood froze instantly.

Fuck!Is the bluetooth still on? ?

Almost at the same time, I met Shang Wan's gaze, how should I put it, shame, joy, and complaint... In short, I was sure at that moment-the Bluetooth was still connected.
