: "But it's nothing special to study a few years longer than me."

At that time, Jiang Li was a little younger than Lin Zixin now. Although his facial features were exquisite, they always felt a little thin because they were too young, which was not as good as the elegant temperament after years of experience.

Hearing that the little girl he met for the first time spoke so rudely, Jiang Li didn't feel unhappy at all, he just smiled, and then slowly opened the book, with a gentle tone: "Well, it's really nothing special, so, you must be better at studying than me , then, let’s do this paper first.”

Lin Zixin was taken aback for a moment, staring at the exam paper she handed over as her teeth rattled - this guy... is really annoying!cut!Just do it!She wants to let her see how good she is.

Thinking about it now...At that time, I must have fallen into Jiang Li's trap.

Lin Zixin angrily withdrew her thoughts from the memory, and glanced at the place where Jiang Li was standing, there was still someone beside her, and there was no room for her to intervene.

The little girl curled her lips in frustration, and her eyes began to wander around boredly, but the moment they fell on another person, they stopped in a bit...perplexity.

She looked at Xie Canglan who was also standing a little closer to the wall like herself.

The woman held champagne in one hand and put the other in the pocket of her suit trousers. Her eyes should be looking at Jiang Li, who was surrounded by stars. Although there was no obvious expression on her face, Lin Zixin somehow felt that she was full of thoughts at the moment. thousand.

To be honest, this scene is a bit strange.

Obviously they are all core members of the research team of this cooperation case, not to mention that Xie Canglan, who is the person in charge of BAE, is obviously more important to come, but everyone seems to only have Jiang Li in their eyes and completely ignore Xie Canglan.

Is this a deliberate snub?Lin Zixin didn't know, she just felt... that Xie Canglan, who was watching coldly at this moment, made her feel a little... unbearable.

Xie Canglan's height is actually comparable to that of Jiang Li, but because she is too thin and wearing black business attire, she looks slimmer. The expression on her face seems to be always calm and indifferent. I didn't feel it when I was sitting in the office, but at this moment, against the noise around me, there was a feeling of loneliness and loneliness.

Lin Zixin looked at it with some hesitation for a while, and finally leaned over slowly, calling out "Director Xie" in a low voice.

Xie Canglan seemed a little unexpected, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, then he smiled slightly and said, "Aren't you going to say hello?"

As she spoke, she pointed a little in the direction of Jiang Li with the hand holding the wine glass, her posture and expression were very natural, which made Lin Zixin feel that the "full of thoughts" Xie Canglan she thought just now was just an illusion.

"Uh, it's not very convenient." Lin Zixin replied vaguely.

This statement actually has three meanings.

The first level is that Jiang Li is surrounded by so many people, it is really difficult for him to interrupt.

The second level is as a student who is about to skip all the courses of this teacher, so he really shouldn't provoke him face to face.

The third layer is...the matter between her and Jiang Li...it is not convenient for the public to deal with.

But Xie Canglan only understood the shallowest meaning, she nodded and agreed: "Yes, no matter where she goes, she is always so eye-catching."

The tone was neither envious nor jealous, but rather emotional, with three points of appreciation and six points of helplessness, and a very faint point of being too obscure and complicated, Lin Zixin really couldn't tell the difference, but the confusion in his heart became more and more intense. stand up.

Turning her eyes, the little girl cautiously opened her mouth again: "Director Xie, have you and Teacher Jiang...have you known each other for a long time?"

She was about to call out the word "Jiang Li" habitually, but for some reason, she changed her mouth halfway.

Xie Canglan didn't answer right away, she squinted her eyes as if thinking about it, and asked, "Is three years long?"

When you look at it in terms of age, it's actually not that long.Lin Zixin thought, it has been eleven years since she first met Jiang Li when she was in junior high school, three years... is really too short.

But in the ten years that I have known Jiang Li, there have been several years where Jiang Li has not heard from Jiang Li, and what happened to those three years that Xie Canglan was talking about? ——Lin Zixin felt that it was difficult to put them together for comparison.

Lin Zixin didn't answer for a while, Xie Canglan saw her bowed her head and looked like she was thinking, but she didn't force her to come to a conclusion, she just patted the little girl on the shoulder, said with a mysterious smile, "Sooner or later is not important."

Lin Zixin always felt that Xie Canglan's words had deep meaning, but felt that she couldn't figure out the way. She couldn't help but raised her head and looked at Xie Canglan in a daze.

"Ivy, what's wrong with you, you look so dignified?"

Steve, who was standing in front of Jiang Li and talking to her, suddenly asked.

Jiang Li was taken aback for a moment, then suddenly came back to his senses, and said "nothing" with a smile, then cast his eyes on the two people who seemed to be talking at the side of the venue, and then his expression gradually became serious again involuntarily.

In fact, she is already a little annoyed by being entangled at the moment, but it's just reminiscing about the old days and business affairs, she can't avoid any of them, so she has to deal with them.

When she saw Lin Zixin standing alone in the corner, she thought she was a bit cute, and wanted to get rid of the people around her so that she could tease her, but before she could get away, the little girl suddenly approached Xie Canglan.

In Jiang Li's heart, the alarm bells rang out, and he almost wanted to get rid of the person in front of him and walk over. Fortunately, Steve came over to hold him back, and he suddenly... realized that this move was wrong.

Can't be impulsive.She secretly told herself in her heart, she had to hold her breath, what could she do when she ran up?Maybe the little girl saw the joke.Tsk, what are these two talking about, it's been so long!Xie Canglan is still draping her shoulders, what is he doing?

In the end, she didn't remember what Steve said at all, and she just said "well, oh, okay" casually, staring at Lin Zixin and Xie Canglan, never moving away.

Declare

When Jiang Li was finally able to get away, Xie Canglan might have something suddenly over there, she lowered her head and took care of something with Lin Zixin in a serious way, then smiled slightly, turned and left.

Every time Xie Canglan smiles, the originally ordinary person will suddenly burst into a gentle light, which makes people want to take a closer look, want to... understand a little more.

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes a little uneasy and looked at Lin Zixin obediently nodding at Xie Canglan as he watched him leave. For some reason, his heart sank slightly.

I don't know if she realized her gaze, Lin Zixin immediately turned her gaze over after Xie Canglan left, and slightly raised the corners of her lips to look at it, which made Jiang Li inexplicably feel like he just did something bad and happened to be caught by the other party Catch the illusion of being right.

Hmm... probably not an illusion.Jiang Li rubbed his nose a little guilty, and leaned over slowly. Just as he walked in front of the little girl, Lin Zixin preemptively asked, "Why are you always peeking over there!"

There was a smile in the fierce tone, it didn't sound accusatory at all, but more like a layer of icing sugar on the surface of the voice, sweet and coquettish.

Jiang Li's heart softened inexplicably, and he felt more and more embarrassed. He knew that his attention just now was too blatant, and if he opened his mouth to explain at this time, it would be more like a cover-up, and it would definitely make the little guy in front of him feel unreasonable. On the other hand, avoiding her slightly satisfied eyes, he went straight to the point: "What are you talking about with Xie Canglan?"

She was obviously very nervous, but she still wanted to use a nonchalant tone. Lin Zixin saw through her disguise at a glance, snorted coldly, and replied, "Why should I tell you?"

It was obviously a confrontational rhetoric, but when Lin Zixin looked at Jiang Li, it was the kind of anticipation that made Jiang Li feel both soft-hearted and flustered.

This kind of stubbornness is most difficult for the elderly to resist.

She can always use the most clear and persistent eyes to see directly into the weakness deep in her heart, constantly urging and beating herself. Many times, Jiang Li felt that something suppressed in her heart was about to be induced to restrain herself I can't stop gushing out, but every time, as long as I think of...

Seeming to have realized something suddenly, Jiang Li frowned, his originally struggling gaze calmed down, and Lin Zixin, who was standing opposite her and raised his face to look at her, had a panoramic view of the obvious change, and immediately Very disappointed and cold face.

Again!The little girl thought to herself almost resentfully, what is it?Can't you just say it straight?

"Jiang Li, what the hell are you..." Lin Zixin was about to speak out what was on her mind, but just after she had said a few words, she suddenly heard another rather cold voice shouting "Ivy ".

The two then followed the prestige, and saw a tall woman with long curly hair approaching them, then stretched out her slender arms, and embraced Jiang Li's shoulders from behind.

Lin Zixin's eyes narrowed slightly with displeasure.

Jiang Li was not used to seeing it, but he shouted in a slightly relieved voice: "Xilin."

The person who came was the glamorous secretary next to Steve. Jiang Li was very grateful for the fact that the other party came. After all, she was really afraid that she...would fail if she was repeatedly challenged by Lin Zixin's pure eyes.

"The bosses are almost gone. Bella is over there. Let's go to another place and have another drink." At this moment, Sirin faded away from the haughty elite look she had when she was beside Steve. The red lips with eyeliner made her look like a monster.

Jiang Li said "Ah?"
