Chapter 22

The author has something to say: Wake up!Wake up!

The feeling of being followed by such a give and take is addictive.

Pei Lu became more and more aware that Jiang Xing's dull and meek state in his private life was completely different from his sensitivity and agility in business and professional affairs.

He switched between the two channels miraculously and without hindrance.

The brand-new Jiang Xing also has a habit that he can't adapt to right away - he loves to praise others.

It's not the kind of flattery. He is very sincere and straightforward. He looks straight at you with two dark eyes, with a serious expression, sometimes with a little surprise, and sometimes with a sparkle of light. I don't know if it is worship or not. , or more of a novelty.

And his attention is often focused on places that ordinary people can't perceive.

Seeing Pei Lu take out a new shaving lotion in the morning, he hung up the towel and approached, and commented seriously: "You seem to be very good at packing suitcases."

Pei Lu paused for a moment while pulling the zipper, looked up to meet his sincere eyes, and frowned, not knowing what to say.

Do you want to reply "Then I will collect your suitcase?"

Fortunately, Jiang Xing's praise does not need to be reciprocated. It seems that he just encountered a beautiful flower by accident when he was walking on the side of the road. Those who need to be praised take it to heart.

He praised him, the flowers bloomed.

For example, when eating breakfast in a restaurant, the salt-baked quail eggs are very small and difficult to peel. Jiang Xing can't completely separate the eggshell from the film.

"Pei Lu," he sighed enviously, holding up the spoon, "Your quail eggs are peeled so beautifully, so the oxygen membrane specimen must be well done too!"

Pei Lu glanced sideways at his plate, and slowly put a few white eggs that he had peeled in front of him. Jiang Xing was taken aback for a moment, then came back to his senses, and explained, "Huh? That's not what I meant..."

Pei Lu bowed his head: "Eat, we're going to be late."

Jiang Xing pursed his lips, he swore that he really didn't mean to ask Pei Lu to peel the quail eggs for him.

Pei Lu lowered his eyes, carelessly wiping his fingers with a wet napkin.

This person is really interesting. Either he is extremely indifferent to you, and he can't even remember his face and name, but once he allows you to step into the range he set up, it seems that his eyes and heart are on you.

Maybe it was because no one had talked to him before, and Jiang Xing was quite chatty sometimes after holding back for too long.

"Pei Lu, you're really good at reversing."

"Pei Lu, is your ability to read maps innate? I think it's not scientifically designed."

"..." You actually think that all road signs and bus signs are unscientific.

After Pei Lu demonstrated the difficult experiment at the venue, he stepped down from the display stand and immediately came up to him and said, "Pei Lu, I think the point of view you just discussed on stage is very novel, and the method of analysis and argumentation is also unique. The speeches of all committee members are the most tenable."

Pei Lu was in a complicated mood, and a complicated look couldn't be restrained in his eyes.

Does Jiang Xing know what he is doing?

he does not know.

Facing Pei Lu's silence, he even touched his nose in embarrassment and smiled.

This smile is light and short, like a dragonfly waving its thin wings, quickly disappearing on the water surface on a summer night.

Inadvertently blowing and drifting, the trajectory is uncertain, and wherever it goes, it leaves a piece of water and luster.

Jiang Xing has no distractions, so he is extraordinarily upright and bright. He is frank and unaware of what kind of mighty storm will be stirred up in others' hearts by his every move.

After he praised others, he began to listen to the report very seriously and became his top student, leaving Pei Lu absent-minded.

Pei Lu has always prided himself on being strict and self-disciplined, and Jiang Xing is the first desertion in his 20-year study career.

At the meeting, foreign congressmen invited Pei Lu to have dinner together, but Pei Lu politely declined in English, and took Jiang Xing to the Sea Lighthouse Restaurant where he went alone that day.

After a day's meeting, both of them were a little tired and didn't talk too much. I don't know who adjusted their posture. Their arms touched each other and they didn't move away. Later, their legs also touched each other.

The restaurant faces the sea, and there is a movie playing in the open-air parking lot outside. It is "Sea Street Diary" by Hirokazu Kore-eda, the summer sea in Kamakura, saury, green plum wine and courtyard fireworks at dusk.

Jiang Xing was sitting on a high stool, his legs couldn't reach the ground, and he was just dangling in the air. This was the posture he only had in a very relaxed environment.

Pei Lu asked Jiang Xing what he wanted to eat, Jiang Xing wanted to throw the menu back to him like a hot potato: "I don't know how to order." In the past, his parents thought that his social skills were too poor, and they always asked him to come when they went out to eat with friends or relatives Responsible for ordering food.

He did a mess. Who should eat what, what he prefers, how much to serve, and the combination of meat and vegetables are more difficult for him than super-class experiments. Sometimes there are old people and children, and at the same time, he has to deal with the recommendation of the a la carte waiter.

He resented this link very much, and over time he would rather eat instant noodles at home than go out to eat with relatives. When he was at home, his parents often said that he had no social interaction.

Pei Lu can easily do these things with ease, and he is also very knowledgeable about dishes and wines. He can easily win the trust and respect of others, and he is sincerely envious.

Pei Lu didn't want to hear Jiang Xing praise him without any special meaning anymore, so he said, "You don't need to learn this."

The meekness and retreat shown by the other party made him unable to bear the temptation to intervene again and again.

If the other party does not resist, then he will push forward without hesitation, intensify, and invade every aspect of his life.

Before leaving, Pei Lu ordered two more Chezi cakes from that night to take away.

Jiang Xing hesitated to stop: "I'm very full."

Pei Lu insisted on going his own way, and continued to instruct the waiter. After ordering, he raised his head and responded to him: "It's okay, take it back and put it in the refrigerator, and eat it if you want to eat."

Of course, Jiang Xing immediately had no objections, and was still a little happy about breaking the precept.

Probably all children whose parents were teachers followed the rules in childhood, and had three meals a day according to the order, but with Pei Lu, he suddenly had sweet afternoon tea and indulgent supper in his life.

Pei Lu's cell phone kept ringing. Many colleagues came to this summit, and Pei Lu couldn't avoid him. The other party was not only a former classmate, but also an indispensable partner to deal with in the future.

When he returned to China for the first time, he seemed to have a strong background, but he was actually walking on thin ice.

Even though it was only two or three days, Pei Lu was not used to letting Jiang Xing leave his side, and asked him if he wanted to go, Jiang Xing didn't want to delay Pei Lu's communication, so he said go.

It is the famous Golden Cave in Paradise Garden on Hong Kong Island. The lamps are warm and misty at the bar. From the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the lighthouse on the sea level at night. play with men and women.

Pei Lu just went out to answer a call from an assistant, and when he came back, he saw a man with glowing eyes holding a glass of purple wine talking to Jiang Xing.

Obviously confused and puzzled, Jiang Xing is still able to continue chatting with others, maybe because he has made Pei Lu, the first good friend in his life, Jiang Xing is a little bit uncomfortable with his social skills realistic expectations.
