Chapter 53
Tomorrow's New Year's Day holiday, Zhou Xiaoyuan came to the office, opened the door and saw Shen Dai sitting on a chair with her head bowed, she was quite leisurely wiping the leaves of her green radishes, coughed when she came in, "Did you finish the first draft?"

This girl, the task was entrusted to her for a few days, Zhou Xiaoyuan found that Shen Dai didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, whether she was looking up information or drawing manuscripts, she was very leisurely and unhurried.Zhou Xiaoyuan had brought a few newcomers, and he didn't care about the mission. He only looked at the final design and criticized it at the time.Shen Dai is the daughter of a friend, so Zhou Xiaoyuan only took a few more observations, because she didn't know much about Shen Dai's design ability, so she couldn't help but have a little doubt that Shen Dai really planned to rely on her relationship with him to fool around. ?
"Morning, Uncle Zhou." Hearing the senior's voice, Shen Dai hastily put down the special handkerchief for wiping leaves and stood up, looking at Zhou Xiaoyuan with a smile, "I just drew it last night, will Uncle Zhou read it now?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan nodded, "Send me an email."

Shen Dai bent down to send the email, and after sending it, she walked into the room, smiled at the elder who took off the down jacket, and picked up the tea bowl to make tea for Zhou Xiaoyuan.

This is the assistant's duty, and Shen Dai does it every day, but due to psychological effects, Zhou Xiaoyuan always feels that Shen Dai is very obedient today, as if she deliberately wants to please him.Watching Shen Dai leave the office, Zhou Xiaoyuan sat on the office chair and turned on the computer.There have been a lot of emails lately, and the one that Shen Dai just sent is the one that ranked first, and Zhou Xiaoyuan clicked on it.

There is only one scene in the show Shen Dai is in charge of, and the three masters and servants can each have a set of costumes, so Zhou Xiaoyuan only gave Shen Dai a week to draw the first draft, and decided that it would be good for Shen Dai to complete a set, but, this time In this email, there are three supporting characters, each of whom has three sets.The costumes are of distinct colors, the embroidery is exquisite, the hat, the skirt, the belt, the boots, everything that Shen Dai thinks needs to be explained, she has remarked, but the layout is very neatly planned.

Shocked in Zhou Xiaoyuan's heart, he glanced briefly and pulled down one by one. After reading all nine sets of costumes, there was even one page below. Zhou Xiaoyuan scrolled down the mouse curiously.

The last one is not a costume, but a picture of an ancient costume. In the picture is a shot of a dude bullying a young girl Diao Chan.The play costumes of the dandy master and servant are exactly the same as Shen Dai's first set. The characters have expressions and are lifelike, while the girl Diao Chan, with disheveled hair and ragged clothes, reveals a pale face and clear eyes, which makes me feel like she is still a child. Pity, I am moved by her beauty.

Zhou Xiaoyuan frowned, and noticed that Diao Chan had a cicada-shaped wooden carving tied around her waist.

Shen Dai came over with tea, Zhou Xiaoyuan zoomed in on the picture, and asked her why she added this rough wood carving.

Shen Dai looked down, a little embarrassed, "Uncle Zhou, I just drew it for fun, so that you can see the rendering..." Halfway through speaking, Shen Dai had no choice but to explain to Zhou Xiaoyuan's urging eyes, "Han people Thinking that Diao Chan is a beautiful thing, Wang Yun named the beautiful little beggar Diao Chan in the script because of this. But I can’t figure it out, there are so many beautiful things, why is it Diao Chan? Thinking wildly, I added a wood carving to her, she is A beggar, she may pick up copper coins or such small gadgets on the road, and she wears them on her body if she likes them, so it is logical for Wang Yun to take her in, see the wood carvings, and then name her Diao Chan."

Zhou Xiaoyuan looked thoughtful.

Shen Dai hesitated to speak.

"Continue," Zhou Xiaoyuan asked her to sit down, "It's just the two of us here, just say what you think, no one will laugh at you."

Shen Dai hummed, and said the idea that came to her after drawing this piece of wood carving, "Uncle Zhou, Diao Chan's favorite in this play is Wang Yun who adopted her, so she is willing to divorce Dong Zhuo, Dong Zhuo, and others for Wang Yun." Lu Bu, Wang Yun also loves Diao Chan. Let me figure it out. If I were Wang Yun and knew that Diao Chan likes such woodcarvings, I would definitely give her a piece of jade carving. It is a very daily detail, but it can show Wang Yun’s forbearance. ...In the end, Diao Chan didn't love anyone anymore, and I was her, and when I went to pay homage to Wang Yun's grave, I would put that jade carving in front of the grave."

Shen Dai was really idle and thinking wildly, she even drew the scene where Diao Chan pays homage to Wang Yun.Of course, she had this inspiration because Liang Yingdi played the role of Wang Yun. Shen Dai probably wouldn't think so much about the white-haired old man who was a pure adoptive father in previous film and television dramas.

She likes the idea of ​​Diao Chan loving Wang Yun, and she has not yet come out of this bitter love.

But these words can only tell Zhou Xiaoyuan that the script has already been decided, and it is not up to her little assistant to interfere with the costumes of protagonists like Diao Chan.

Zhou Xiaoyuan turned back to the picture while she was explaining. After Shen Dai finished speaking, he pulled the file to the top, remained silent for a few seconds, and said, "The idea is very interesting, don't be embarrassed, we are all members of the crew, what's the matter?" Suggestions can be put forward, I think it’s good, report it, it’s your credit for being adopted, and it’s not a loss for you if you don’t, right?”

Shen Dai said "ah" in surprise, "Are you going to report what I just said?"

Zhou Xiaoyuan nodded and smiled, and poured cold water on her by the way: "Just report it, whether it will be successful or not is another matter, don't get too hopeful, go back first, I will give you comments on revisions in the afternoon."

Shen Dai didn't know how to describe her mood at this moment, so she went out blithely.

She really just wanted to play and draw for fun, but she got Zhou Xiaoyuan's approval?

However, the script is a matter for the director and screenwriter. Even if Zhou Xiaoyuan put forward this suggestion, the director may not accept it.

Thinking of this, Shen Dai quickly calmed down.

Around ten o'clock, I received a WeChat message from Lu Chi asking her to return to the community at noon.

Shen Dai stared at the phone in a daze.

After that good night kiss, Shen Dai went out in the morning and continued to hide from Lu Chi. In the evening, Lu Chi got off work late. The two of them hadn't seen each other in the past few days, including weekends. Lu Chi sent a text message on Monday afternoon, saying that he would go back to Lu's villa at night , as an explanation, lest she can't see his car and worry about him having an accident, in a joking tone.Shen Dai replied a joke, and the two never got in touch again.

Shen Dai didn't want to bother to analyze whether Lu Chi was too busy, or realized that some of his behaviors were inappropriate so she took the initiative to distance herself. It happened that she was busy designing drawings and didn't have much time to think about them.

Why did you suddenly call her back today?

Shen Dai asked.

Lu Chi: I flew to Los Angeles at four o'clock in the afternoon. I just came back a year ago. Before I left, I wanted to eat a meal made by Chef Shen.

When Shen Dai saw the text message, her mind went blank for a few seconds.

Now it's just New Year's Day, and he came back a year ago, that is to say, Lu Chi will go abroad for more than a month.Then, when she goes out in the morning, she no longer has to wait for him to leave, and when she gets off work at night, she doesn't have to wait and see whether there is a black Cayenne parked next to the parking space, whether there is anyone in the Cayenne, and she doesn't have to be wary of seeing him when entering or leaving the company.

Is it good news?
But why, it seems that you can't be happy?
The news came again, Lu Chi said that he was in the mall, and sent a few big crabs to prove it.

Imagining him in a suit shooting crabs in the mall, Shen Dai couldn't help laughing, breathed a sigh of relief, and reminded him to buy some ribs.

Lu Chi sent a big kiss.

Shen Dai replied with a slap in the face, and added a text: I'm going to work, see you at noon.

After get off work at 11:30, 15 minutes later, Shen Dai stood in front of Lu Chi's door, hesitated, and rang the doorbell.

Lu Chi came to open the door, wearing a white sweater and a black apron in front of him. At first glance, he looked like a chef. Meeting Lu Chi like this, Shen Dai felt less nervous and asked him with a smile: "You are already busy." ?” He walked in with a natural look.

"I'm afraid it will delay your work in the afternoon. There is only one fish left, so you can take care of it." Lu Chi closed the door, and from the second she appeared, his eyes never left her figure. One more look is just one more look, only she looked over , he will politely restrain himself.

There was a tempting aroma in the kitchen, Shen Dai took off her coat, fastened the apron that Lu Chi handed over, and sincerely praised him: "Mr. Lu's culinary skills have improved rapidly, it would be a pity not to become a chef."

"I don't have a girlfriend, so I can only do it myself." Lu Chi stood beside her, continued to cut the ribs, and stewed the soup for a while.

Shen Dai glanced at him and quickly changed the subject: "Have you packed your luggage? What are you going to do in Los Angeles?"

"There's nothing to clean up, just go over there, talk about two investments, and have some entertainment."

Shen Dai said oh, the pot is hot, pour the oil into the fish, and focus on cooking.

Lu Chi was stewing ribs next to him, surrounded by mist. He covered the pot, stood at the door of the kitchen, and leaned against the door to look at her: "I remember you said to hand in the first draft today, how is it? Did Zhou Xiaoyuan scold you?"

"I'm so good, it's too late for Uncle Zhou to praise me, so he won't train me." Shen Dai tried her best to maintain a relaxed atmosphere, but Lu Chi stood there, not knowing whether she was watching her cooking or watching her. After a long time, Shen Dai was a little stressed, and suddenly thought of Guaibao, she turned to look at Lu Chi, "The key is in my bag, you can bring Guaibao here, it's not fun being at home by itself."

Lu Chi refused in a low voice, "Forget it, it always rubs against me during meals, and even grabs fish from me."

Shen Dai is speechless, do you want to be so stingy?

Lu Chi understood her thoughts and went to the living room to wait.

At noon, Lu Chi opened another bottle of red wine and wanted to pour it for Shen Dai, but Shen Dai clutched the glass and resolutely refused it. After dinner, the two of them cleaned up the kitchen together, and they were almost done.Shen Dai went to the hanger to put on her coat, saw Lu Chi standing beside her looking at her, ready to see her off, Shen Dai straightened her clothes, picked up her bag and said goodbye to him: "Then I'm going to work, I wish you a smooth journey."

Lu Chi nodded and walked in front of her.

Shen Dai followed him, looking at his tall and slender back, always felt that it was too difficult to maintain a smile today.

At the door, he stopped and reached for the handle.

Shen Dai lowered her eyes silently, brewing her emotions, and prepared to go out in a while, and smiled a little better when she said goodbye again.

It's just that, after she finished brewing, the figure in front of her was motionless, her hand was clearly holding the doorknob, but she didn't open it.Shen Dai suddenly panicked and wanted to remind Lu Chi, but she didn't know how to remind him, her heart beat faster, he finally moved, turned around, but let go of the doorknob.Shen Dai raised her head suspiciously or defensively, and met his dark and deep eyes.

One look is enough.

Shen Dai lowered her head, trying to squeeze out of him before he could speak, and fled through the door.

Lu Chi suddenly reached out to support her on the wall in front of her, blocking her way, Shen Dai was so panicked that she wanted to back away, she turned her head and bumped into Lu Chi's other arm.Some wall-hole scenes widely circulated on Weibo emerged in her mind. Shen Dai could almost predict what Lu Chi would do to her, and she didn't know how she was so smart. After a short panic, Shen Dai turned towards the wall, Begging him in a low voice: "I'm going to be late."

Lu Chi stared at the back of her head for a few seconds. Did she know that he wanted to kiss her?
Missed the best opportunity to sneak a kiss, now it's a shame to force her to turn around, Lu Chi sighed, folded his arms, and hugged her from behind.Shen Dai was stiff all over, and just about to push her away, Lu Chi leaned over and pushed her against the wall, suddenly the right side went dark, it was Lu Chi's head approaching, Shen Dai hurriedly turned her head to the other side, "Lu Chi late, don't be like this..."

"I don't want to, but I can't help it." Unable to see her face, Lu Chi looked at her red earlobes, rubbing his forehead against the top of her head, and murmured drunkenly to those lovely earlobes. She: "Daibao, it's been six years, I almost forgot, why did you like me back then? We rarely talked at that time, what do you like about me?"

Shen Dai felt extremely uncomfortable, as if someone had tapped her acupuncture points, she still begged him, "Lu Chi..."

"I'll ask you, you answer me, and I'll let you go when I'm done." Realizing that she seemed to be unable to stand, Lu Chi tightened his arms around her waist, fearing that she would really fall down.

"Answer me, or I'll kiss you." Lu Chi lowered his head and touched her ear lightly with his lips.

Shen Dai almost cried out, she didn't want to say it, but the begging failed, so she pretended to cry and sobbed softly.

Lu Chi was startled, and turned to look at her face. Shen Dai's tears hadn't brewed yet, so she turned around quickly. Lu Chi chased her twice, and suddenly tickled her. Struggled up.Shen Dai squatted down abruptly, making him jump into the air, trying to break out from below.

Lu Chi's sneak attacks failed several times, his patience was exhausted, he grabbed her by the arm with his big hand, lifted her up, and hugged her horizontally.

Shen Dai panicked, met his gloomy face, didn't dare to provoke him any more, and immediately gave up, "I say, I say, let me down!"

Lu Chi stopped and continued to move forward.

"Lu Chi..." Shen Dai grabbed his clothes, her tears hadn't come down yet, her words were already crying.

Lu Chi paused, looked down, turned around and placed her in front of the outer wall of the bedroom, "I'll give you one last chance."

Shen Dai drooped her head, recalling her first love, her voice couldn't be lowered: "You, you are good-looking. At that time, you didn't know anything, and you liked whoever was good-looking. Later, when we got together, I found that falling in love was not as fun as I imagined. , so we split up. Lu Chi, I'm really going to be late, can you be reasonable? Didn't you say you can be friends?"

"I'm not as good-looking now as I was six years ago?" Lu Chi ignored her question, raised her chin, and forced her to look at himself.

Shen Dai closed her eyes when he touched her chin, and pursed her red lips tightly.

Lu Chi asked again, "You went to Hengdian on a business trip. I went there a few times just to see you. When you came back from Hangzhou, I went to the airport to pick you up early and accompany you to dinner and movies. I have done all the things that delayed your study and endured not to do. Daibao, I treat you well and you don’t like me, that only means that I have become ugly, you don’t like it, do you?”

Shen Dai smiled wryly, Lu Chi was obviously more handsome, no matter how ugly he was.

"It's not your relationship, it's because I don't want to fall in love now..."

"But I want to talk to you." Lu Chi held her face and stared at her tightly closed eyes, "The last time we broke up was a misunderstanding, please give me another chance to be your boyfriend, and wait for me to make a mistake Now, you can dump me with a good reason, okay? Dai Bao, I really did something wrong, and I admit that you broke up, but I am really wronged, I clearly..."

He suddenly stopped talking.

Shen Dai waited for a long time, but she didn't hear any sound. Her heart tightened, and she recalled Lu Chi's voice getting lower and lower. Could it be that he was crying?
Shen Dai eagerly opened her eyes.

Lu Chi smiled, and pressed his forehead to the top of her head, "Want to hear from me?"

Shen Dai's face was hot, so she was about to turn her head. Lu Chi held her tightly against the wall, "Daibao, I like you, let's start over?"

His black eyes were close in front of his eyes, filled with tenderness, Shen Dai looked at him, reluctant to refuse, agreed and hesitated, unable to speak no matter what.

But Lu Chi knew that she still liked him.

The arm on her waist tightened, and Shen Dai was forced to stand on tiptoe. At this moment, Lu Chi lowered his head and kissed her slightly opened lips because of his fright.

Eat the marrow to know the taste, think about it day and night.
