come to my office after get off work

Afterwards, Jiang Shu took Jiang Xiaotan back to the homestay. Jiang Xiaotan said that she was not sleepy and wanted to play.

Seeing that Ji Lianxing was going to the bar, Jiang Xiaotan clamored to be together, but of course Jiang Shu refused to let him, how could he let a child go to the bar, it was so noisy there.

"I'm not, take me to play!" Jiang Xiaotan grabbed Jiang Shu's arm and didn't want to leave.

"No, go back." Jiang Shu pulled her towards the direction of the hotel, seeing Ji Lianxing getting farther and farther away from him, Jiang Xiaotan was about to cry when he took a step and turned his head three times.

"Sister Hedgehog! I want to be with you!" Jiang Xiaotan cried at Ji Lianxing with tears in his eyes, and tears appeared on his face in the next second.

Ji Lianxing couldn't bear it, how could he see this, and finally stopped Jiang Shu: "Well, why don't you take her to sit outside the bar?"

Jiang Shu stopped walking, a little helpless, it seems that Jiang Xiaotan has grasped people's hearts and knows who is the most useful to act like a baby.

"Are you sure it's safe? Will it be too noisy in there?"

Ji Lianxing nodded, "It's safe, there are tables outside, and I went to a clean bar tonight, it's not that messy."

Having said all this, Jiang Shu could only agree, patted Jiang Xiaotan's face lightly, and pretended to reprimand her: "Are you comfortable? You're not obedient at all. I won't take you out next time."

The cheap Jiang Xiaotan laughed happily, dragged Jiang Shu with his small hands, and followed Ji Lianxing.

The three of them walked along the road, and they arrived at the bridge in a short while. They followed Ji Lianxing across the bridge, and the first one was facing Qingba.

Compared with the bar in front, this place is quieter. A shed is built outside, surrounded by flower fences, and two tables are placed, which is quite emotional.

"What do you and Xiaotan drink?"

Jiang Xiaotan raised his hand, "I want to drink watermelon juice!"

Jiang Shu: "Soda water."

Ji Lianxing nodded and pointed at the table, "Sit with Xiaotan, it's very quiet, I'll go in and have a word with Liu Yiyang."

After the words fell, she turned and entered the shop.

Jiang Shu's eyes followed her, and saw that she entered the store, and there was a man sitting on the counter, it was Liu Yiyang.

The line of sight stretched in, and there were a few young people sitting inside, chatting while listening to music.

Ji Lianxing said a few words to the bartender, who nodded and started making drinks.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Lianxing sat next to Liu Yiyang and chatted with him.

The distance was too far, and the voice was intermittent, so I couldn't hear what they were saying.

Jiang Shu could only see Ji Lianxing's back, thin and bony, with long hair falling on his shoulders, black and shiny, fluffy and soft, making people want to touch it.

The cold arrogance exuded from her was like a woman walking out of a snow scene, with alienation.

She propped one hand on the bar, her long legs casually fell on the corner of the stool, and she was lazy when talking to Liu Yiyang. Sometimes she raised her hand to make gestures when talking, and sometimes she shook her head, as if to deny the other party's statement.

Jiang Shu just looked at her like that, feeling both familiar and strange.

Ji Lianxing seems to have matured. Jiang Shu still remembers the first time she took her to dinner with Zhang Mingyue, she only knew how to bury her head in the meal, and when Li Bin asked her a few words, she staggered and shyly answered.

But now it is different. In the business field, she has her own ideas. She can give her own opinions when her partners propose a plan. She no longer uses others as a benchmark. She is the center of her own world.

Become more confident, more confident, and more attractive at the same time.

Otherwise, how could there be such obvious admiration in Liu Yiyang's eyes that Jiang Shu felt sour when he saw it.

Jiang Xiaotan drank her watermelon juice, Jiang Shu didn't drink anything, but his heart was more sour than a bottle of vinegar.

At this time, two people came not far away, they were Xu Shuxia and Wei Ran.

Xu Shuxia saw Jiang Shu from a long distance away, and there was an obedient little girl sitting beside her, drinking watermelon juice quite vigorously, very cute.

It's just that Jiang Shu kept looking at the bar, not knowing what he was looking at.

"Hi~" After approaching, Xu Shuxia took the initiative to say hello, Jiang Shu raised his head, first saw Xu Shuxia, and then the woman beside her.

"Long time no see." Jiang Shu nodded to Xu Shuxia, and then his eyes fell on the person beside her. They looked at each other and nodded politely.

"Why are you sitting outside?" Xu Shuxia pulled Wei Ran to sit down, "Who is this kid?"

"My niece." Jiang Shu took a sip of soda and explained, "It's not good for a kid to go in. I'll take her to sit outside."

"Oh, this is my partner, Wei Ran." Xu Shuxia gave a brief introduction, and then asked: "Where is Xiao Ji?"

"She was talking inside, with that Liu Yiyang." Jiang Shu's tone was not salty, but when he talked about Liu Yiyang, he still frowned.

"Oh~ him." Xu Shuxia raised her eyebrows, her expression was intriguing, "This man is very patient, I even suspect that he is interested in Xiao Ji."

"I know." Jiang Shu was also a veteran in love, how could he not understand Liu Yiyang's routine of boiling frogs in warm water.

He doesn't confess his love and is not in a hurry, but he is also enthusiastic and enthusiastic. He is also Ji Lianxing's business partner, one after another, he puts his heart into it.

Jiang Shu has no problem with chasing others.But if you chase Ji Lianxing, you will block him to death, don't even think about it.

"Can you help me?" Jiang Shu looked at Xu Shuxia, then at Wei Ran.

"How to help?"

Jiang Shu glanced at Jiang Xiaotan who was drinking watermelon juice again, and said with a smile, "Help me look after this kid, I'll go in."

*

Beside the bar, Ji Lianxing and Liu Yiyang are discussing a new project they have recently set their sights on. The partners of this project are Wei Ran and Xu Shuxia. Ji Lianxing has already negotiated, mainly asking Liu Yiyang if he has any intention to join.

The main reason is that during my life, I have seen how cheap vegetables and fruits are sold by those people on the mountain, but they can’t sell them. If we can connect information and sell these through the Internet, it can solve many problems.

But Liu Yiyang shook his head.

"I can understand what you said before about building a homestay and catering, but I can't understand when you live broadcast them harvesting fruits and vegetables. These people in the mountains, what can you expect the camera to say to them?"

After hearing Liu Yiyang's words, Ji Lianxing frowned, what is a mountain person?Does he look down on mountain people?

"Oh, forget it."

"I..." Liu Yiyang choked directly.

Ji Lianxing continued: "We can do it ourselves, you can do whatever you want."

She asked Liu Yiyang to cooperate because she thought there was a prospect, but now Liu Yiyang obviously didn't want to. In fact, it was purely polite to invite him. After all, Liu Yiyang also helped at the beginning, but now it seems that it is unnecessary.

"I have to think about it." Liu Yiyang felt that the investment cost was a bit high. He was always cautious and would not do any unsure business. Besides, Ji Lianxing...

Liu Yiyang took a long look at her, although he liked her, but liking was liking, investment was investment, he couldn't fully trust her.

"Forget it, it's better not to be together." Ji Lianxing has given up the idea of ​​being together.

Liu Yiyang was a little anxious, "No, for you, I can."

"For me?" These words really shocked Ji Lianxing, "If you want it, you will, if you don't, then you won't. Why is it for me?"

Ji Lianxing felt a little baffled, could this be a moral kidnapping?

Liu Yiyang shook his head and nodded, and finally said helplessly: "I mean, as long as your project is yours, I am willing to lose money and make money, because it is you."

Because it was you, Liu Yiyang's eyes sparkled when he said these four words, as if he felt that he was very affectionate.

So much so that Ji Lianxing was very uncomfortable after looking at him, and always felt that Liu Yiyang had some other meanings.

How do you feel that you are going astray?

"Liu Yiyang." Ji Lianxing glanced at him, "I think I should make it clear that the relationship between us is a cooperative relationship, and other than this relationship, other things are impossible."

"Xiao Ji..." Liu Yiyang was a little anxious when he was said this way, "I didn't mean that." After a pause, he was unwilling, "You have been alone all these years, why don't you consider—"

"Don't think about it." Ji Lianxing interrupted him, got off the high stool, and took the initiative to distance himself, with resistance in his eyes, "Don't think about anything else, I really didn't expect you to have that kind of meaning, I never I thought about it, since this is the case, I'd better not touch it in the future."

Ji Lianxing felt a chill. This is not the first time she has encountered such a situation. When facing a man, she often just wants to talk about business and talk normally, but the other party wants to understand something else. development in the relationship between men and women.

I didn't expect Liu Yiyang to be like this, too disgusting.

Seeing that Ji Lianxing was about to leave, Liu Yiyang became anxious and grabbed Ji Lianxing's arm with one hand.

The moment the skin touched, Ji Lianxing was so disgusted that she had goosebumps all over her body, she shook it but did not shake it off.

"Xiao Ji, listen to my explanation, I don't mean that."

Ji Lianxing just wanted to speak.

Jiang Shu's voice came from behind: "Let go."

The voice was cold and arrogant, with a bit of irresistibility, Liu Yiyang hesitated for a moment, seeing the few people outside who were about to come in, he still let go.

Ji Lianxing took two steps back, Jiang Shu naturally embraced her in his arms, his eyes piercing.

"What are you pinching her hand for?"

Just as Jiang Shu came in, he saw Liu Yiyang touching Ji Lianxing, and his anger had already rushed to his head. If it wasn't for Ji Lianxing's shop, Jiang Shu would have kicked him up with a stool.

"I didn't pinch it." Liu Yiyang was still stubborn, "Besides, what's none of your business?"

How can this girl keep up with everything?

Jiang Shu hugged Ji Lianxing even tighter, "This is my girlfriend, keep your hands clean."

Hearing the word girlfriend, Liu Yiyang's pupils opened slightly, and he almost spit out a mouthful of old blood. Why didn't he think that Ji Lianxing was messing with Lily?No wonder she couldn't move her no matter how much she flirted with her in the past two years.

"Your girlfriend?" Liu Yiyang looked at Ji Lianxing, saw that Ji Lianxing didn't deny it, and changed his face on the spot: "Why are you still gay!!"

The bartender at the bar couldn't listen anymore, and interjected: "It's 2021, what are you making such a fuss about?"

Liu Yiyang glanced at Ji Lianxing, "Xiao Ji, you have to think clearly."

Jiang Shu sneered, "Did you make a mistake? Why are you so narcissistic? She is talking to you seriously. Could it be that you think she is interested in you?"

The bartender nodded, "All Puxin men are like this."

Liu Yiyang gasped, and found that Ji Lianxing hadn't spoken, and couldn't hold back his face, so he rushed out of the door.

After he left, Ji Lianxing came out of Jiang Shu's arms, his palms were sweaty, and the first thing he said to Jiang Shu was sorry.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think he wanted to develop a relationship with me." She didn't know why she wanted to explain, but she just wanted to explain, lest Jiang Shu would misunderstand.

Jiang Shu nodded, "I know."

"I..." Ji Lianxing hesitated, and said: "I will never cooperate with him again. In fact, I feel a little strange that he came to me this afternoon. I thought it was because I was thinking too much." .”

She and Liu Yiyang haven't had much contact in the past two years. Most of the time they talked about business. There were times when Liu Yiyang was more enthusiastic, but Ji Lianxing was too busy to talk to him at all. I thought about it a long time ago, but Liu Yiyang said Since he is a gentleman, Ji Lianxing let down his guard if he doesn't have that kind of thought.

Until just now... Believe him a ghost, just approach him in another way?

Seeing that Ji Lianxing's face was turning green, Jiang Shu put one hand on Ji Lianxing's shoulder, patted her lightly, and comforted her, "It's okay, he doesn't dare to do anything to you."

The bartender standing aside smiled, shook his glass, and asked, "Boss, do you and your girlfriend want a drink? To ease the mood?"

Ji Lianxing's cheeks were flushed quickly, she shook her head and waved her hands, "No, no, no, it's not my girlfriend." She tilted her head again and asked Jiang Shu, "What would you like to drink?"

Jiang Shu thought for a while and said, "Long Island Iced Tea."

"Two glasses, then."

The bartender sliced ​​a lemon in half, mixed the vodka with the gin, and started shaking...  

Soon, Ji Lianxing pushed the first cup of Long Island iced tea in front of Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu took the wine glass and took a sip. The taste of the Long Island Iced Tea was a little sour, with a hint of sweetness in the sourness.

Jiang Shu liked it very much, took a few more sips, squinted his eyes, and saw a microphone and a guitar in a corner of the room.

"Little hedgehog, do you want to listen to music?"

Ji Lianxing tilted her head, her eyes filled with amazement, "You want to sing?"

Jiang Shu narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Can't I sing?"

"can."

"What do you want to hear? I'll sing it to you."

Ji Lianxing's heart trembled. This sentence was a bit familiar. She said this to Jiang Shu once, and she was very willing to sing for Jiang Shu at that time.

She had sung to many people, but no one sang to her, Jiang Shu was the first.

"I'll listen to whatever you sing."

Jiang Shu got off the stool, "Then creep, don't blame me for not singing well."

She sings to creep?

Ji Lianxing watched Jiang Shu walk to the microphone, she also picked up the guitar, can she play the guitar?

What else can this woman not know?

Jiang Shu sat down, plucked the strings, tried the sound test, and felt quite accurate, so he began to sing.

No drums, no bass, just a cappella and acoustic guitar melodies.

She played the guitar well, and Ji Lianxing's attention was attracted by her.

"When you were here before..."

If I remember correctly, this was the first time she heard Jiang Shu sing.

Jiang Shu's voice was clear and clear, humming from her nasal cavity, a little lazy, like her whole person, with a sense of coldness in her arrogance, her voice was like a snowflake in a distant snowy area, cold and pure.

"You're just like an angel, your skin makes s secret..."

She has her own taste in singing, which can be summed up in a unique and attractive way.

Ji Lianxing looked at her, a little fascinated, the Long Island iced tea slipped into her throat, she drank a few sips, she just felt that she was a bit over the top, Jiang Shu's singing seemed to take her back to two years ago...

Two years ago, it was also this song, when she was sitting in Jiang Shu's car, they listened to this song.

Two years ago, in that dark bar, the night Jiang Shu tipped her 5 yuan, she sat in the middle of the stage and sang this song for Jiang Shu again.

At that time, Jiang Shu was the unreachable goddess in her heart.

At that time, Jiang Shu's every movement and look could make her heart tremble.

At that time, she wished that Jiang Shu could understand the meaning of this song, understand her desire for her, and understand the inferiority and cowardice in looking up and admiring her.

And now, Jiang Shu is sitting there singing for her.The slender fingers plucked the guitar strings, and the singing hit the depths of the soul, as if it was a response to the past.

I don't know if it was because of the alcohol, but Ji Lianxing felt his whole body became hot, and his cheeks were burned hot.

Looking at Jiang Shu, she felt her heart beating wildly, and the throbbing left by her hit her heart, as if they were in love just yesterday, and they are still in love today.

After the song was over, several young people at the next table applauded.

Unknowingly, Ji Lianxing drank up the entire remaining glass of Long Island Iced Tea, completely forgetting that this is a high-quality cocktail.

A strange feeling enveloped her, as if the smell of the air had changed.

Jiang Shu put down his guitar and was walking towards her slowly, her face turned into overlapping shadows, psychedelic and moving.

Ji Lianxing wanted to divert her attention, she turned her head and looked outside the door, Jiang Xiaotan was guessing riddles with Xu Shuxia, Wei Ran was taking pictures of the river bridge with a camera.

"Little hedgehog?"

Jiang Shu's voice seemed to be separated by a membrane, which was not very real.

Ji Lianxing came back to his senses, looked at Jiang Shu again, and found that there was a double image, and his head was a little dizzy.

Vaguely, I heard the voice of the bartender again:

"She drank too fast, too violently, she probably got a little dizzy from the strength of the alcohol."

I heard Jiang Shu's voice again: "Why did you finish the cup? This is Long Island Iced Tea!"

Ji Lianxing reached out to touch Jiang Shu's shoulder, but it was empty.

"Jiang..." Ji Lianxing looked at her with blurred eyes.

Jiang Shu hurriedly put his arms around her, Ji Lianxing leaned his chin on her shoulder, surrounded by the fragrance, and finally found a place to settle.

Ji Lianxing's cheek was pressed against Jiang Shu's hair, and she felt that she smelled so good, and leaning on her gave her a sense of security, and felt that she would not worry if she just slept like this...

"Dizzy?" Jiang Shu whispered in her ear.

Ji Lianxing felt itchy, raised his shoulders to resist, but his voice was very soft, "A little bit."

Talking about something, the reality has already turned the world around. She can't drink enough, so she hangs on Jiang Shu's body like that, soft and sticky, and the sweet smell of alcohol comes out when she speaks.

Jiang Shu squinted his eyes, feeling a little itchy in his heart, and said with a smile, "Drunk? I'll take you home."
