Starlight is not as good as your allure
Chapter 9
Chapter 9
Countless forest leaves in Qingqiu retreated rapidly from his side, like a turquoise scroll.He couldn't wait to unfold this scroll to the end and stamp someone's seal at the end.
Zhou Tingshen helped Liang Zirao deal with the auction house affairs all morning, and when she woke up, lunch had already been booked at the restaurant and delivered to the guest room.
Liang Zirao entered the living room after washing up, and saw a table of exquisite food. Zhou Ting sat on the sofa next to her and continued to help her check the latest guest list sent by the secretary.He didn't sleep all night, but he didn't intend to rest. Liang Zirao felt guilty and surprised, and said, "You drove here last night, don't you need to take a rest?"
She booked a top-level suite with another bedroom for rest.Zhou Tingshen didn't appreciate it, and said without raising his head, "No need."
Liang Zirao sat at the dining table, took a bite of the curry, and found that the food was complete, she frowned slightly: "Didn't you eat it?"
Zhou Tingshen was like a machine stuck in work: "Eat it yourself."
Liang Zirao reconciled with him reluctantly: "I was wrong in the morning, it was because you woke me up early and lost my mind... Okay, I will help you with the audition you told me about last time." Yes, it took a lot of effort. Let me make an apology for you? Okay?"
It's a pity that some things have passed the statute of limitations.Zhou Ting gave a rather indifferent "Yes", and continued to read the information, saying that there is no need to bother.
Liang Zirao got angry, took a sip, put it in his mouth, chewed and ate it slowly, and then said: "Don't look at it. I checked that thing last night. I asked the secretary to print a new version and send it over this morning. It won't has a problem."
Zhou Ting was deeply hit by her, and put it down unhappily: "Have you gone through all the venue procedures?"
"I've walked through it twice, and besides, the convention and exhibition center has cooperated with us many times, and there is a special person in charge, so I can trust you." Liang Zirao went over to organize all the documents, stood in front of him and asked him for the share in his hand, "Okay, no need As soon as I came here, I was eager to do things. This time, this one is really powerful, and can make you toss like this. I must pay a visit to her someday and ask her for advice."
Liang Zirao stretched out his hand to grab the document he was holding: "Okay, give it to me. There are many things that need your help. This one or two are not missing. You go to bed first, okay? lest Dad say I abused you .”
She knows Zhou Tingshen's weakness best. He takes the weak but not the hard, as long as he says a few nice words, he will usually go along with the flow.
To her surprise, he didn't let go of his hand several times, and stared at a name on the list—Wen Shaoqian.
Zhou Ting frowned deeply, feeling that the name was indescribably familiar, and murmured it softly.
Liang Zirao heard it clearly, and said in surprise, "Have you heard of him? The youngest son of the Wen family, who studies psychology, is said to be a returnee with a Ph. , I just took an antique crown ring for my girlfriend at that time, and it is said that I dumped it within two days. The little girlfriend was crying and took the ring to him, but he didn't even look at it."
It is rare for her to gossip, and there is a hint of cunning in her eyes: "Tsk tsk, such a person is bad news for women, but we are an auction house, and we regard him as our guest of honor."
Zhou Tingshen recalled this person through her words, and finally remembered that this person was Ye Qiao's psychiatrist.When he was having dinner with Ye Qiao that day, he also saw the text messages he sent to Ye Qiao, the words were modest and polite, and he looked like a gentleman.But men know men best, and those extra sentences for no reason, no matter how polite and gentle, all exude his interest in this woman.
Seeing him in a daze, Liang Zirao raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, do you know him?"
"Look at the face, just ask."
"Heh, you meet a lot of people. How long have you been in charge of Ferra's business? How many people can you know?"
Liang Ziluo was happy after complaining, and then remembered the business, and asked: "Do you have any friendship with this Wen Shaoqian?" She stared at him seriously, "Listen, your current situation is the limit of what the family can bear, if you don't learn well , go the same way with this kind of person, don't blame Dad for kicking you out."
Zhou Ting brushed her arm away amusedly: "Don't worry."
Only then did Liang Zirao feel relieved, and said with a smile, "That's good. There will be a welcome dance when the auction opens, and there will be many beauties at that time. You can choose whatever you want, and I'll pretend I didn't see it."
Zhou Tingshen is not keen on such things.But Liang Zirao didn't know if he was immersed in work and depressed for too long, and he was very keen on finding a partner for him. He even sent a few photos and information to his mailbox like the seven aunts and eight aunts, saying that they were all high-quality candidates.Zhou Ting took a deep look. It was either a talented woman from Cambridge or a Ph.D. from Columbia University.Is he looking for a woman or opening a research institute?
On that day, the night was bright and moving, and the night at the harbor was as fascinating as water. The double-decker cruise ship at the Ferra ball sailed into the port, and French pop music ambiguously intoxicated men and women.Zhou Ting found a high place to drink, overlooking the grand occasion tonight, the scent of women's perfume dyed the sea breeze with a layer of fragrance.Such a night was surprisingly boring for him.
He lowered his eyes lazily, but he saw the bright scenery at the first glance.
She is wearing a water-blue long dress, and the appropriate sequin embellishment does not look exaggerated, but instead makes her graceful curves sway like a deep-sea mermaid. The simple-designed sapphire pendant sinks into the peaks and ridges on her chest, like opening a charming The key to the landscape.
Born to be the darling of the lens, even without a camera, he is the most dazzling one in the crowd.
Why is she here?
On the deck, Ye Qiao looked left and right, looking for Wen Shaoqian.
If he hadn't advised her from a "professional point of view" to seize the vacation and get out of the busy work and relationship problems, she would not have come here.
The night wind blew through the hair, and the moon shone brightly into the water with a soft light like a defocused moon.
Ye Qiao shook his head, and a well-scented coat was put on his shoulders.Wen Shaoqian helped her close up in a gentlemanly manner, and said, "It's cold outside, do you want to have a drink or two to warm up?"
"Okay." The moment she left, she suddenly turned around and took a look, but her eyes couldn't find where she was.
Wen Shaoqian asked: "What's wrong?"
Ye Qiao shook his head: "It's okay. Maybe I misread it."
But her intuition has always been sensitive, just at that moment, she clearly felt that someone was looking here.
On the other side, Zhou Ting took a deep look, put the empty red wine glass on the waiter's tray, and walked into the room.
The lights came on suddenly, and the bright light roughly eliminated his dim vision after a long time in the night.Unfortunately, it was useless, that figure was still floating in front of his eyes.
She is smiling at someone.
To a gentle scum that Liang Zirao called.
Thinking of this, Liang Zirao just appeared in front of him, lightly floated the red wine in his hand, and teased: "Why, you seem to be lacking in interest?"
Zhou Ting frowned deeply: "You never told me she would come."
"Who? Ye Qiao?" Liang Zirao just met her, and when she met again, she finally saw her face clearly. She was indeed a rare beauty.What's rare is that she has the generous temperament of a scholarly family with every gesture, and also has the appearance and figure that can occupy a place in the entertainment industry. No wonder she can fascinate people.
If it wasn't for the past, she would not object to such a woman entering the Zhou family.
Liang Zirao's tone was tinged with regret: "Do you think I invited you? It's not like you haven't seen the list of guests. They brought a female companion here, and they are not serious wives. Who knows which one?"
Zhou Ting ignored her and walked straight to the bar.Liang Zirao couldn't help shouting, just when he interrupted him, the person he wanted to introduce was forgotten, and it was too late to shout again.
Zhou Tingshen drank two glasses of wine, and received a holiday wish from Wu Zi on his mobile phone who was a few days late: "Brother Shen, happy National Day! Brother, don't like to remember these messy festivals, don't mind if you are two days late!"
He casually replied.
Wu Zi immediately replied with a playful smile: "Haha, brother's red envelope is ready, what's the matter with you? Don't be silly!"
"..."
Zhou Tingshen pressed the phone without saying a word, and walked out step by step with his rationality dissipated.When the night wind blew, there were many people on the boat, but the mermaid that made him dream about was gone.
He asked a few waiters, and some said it seemed to be heading towards the bow.The place was dimly lit and few people came. In the dim light, there was a man and woman kissing passionately. Zhou Ting glanced deeply in shock. The other party felt embarrassed, but when he turned his head, there were two unfamiliar faces.Zhou Ting looked around for a week and left without hesitation.
Ye Qiao and Wen Shaoqian disappeared together, not at the bow, not in the hall, but in the guest room.
Zhou Ting deeply suspected that he had the tendency of masochism, so he clicked on the list of guest rooms lying in the mailbox of his mobile phone. Wen Shaoqian's room was at the end, which was very quiet.He couldn't help walking in that direction, the narrow passage was so silent that he could hear his heartbeat and breathing.The soundproofing of the room on the ship was poor, and he could hear the ping-pong-pong inside without paying attention when he approached.
The sound of rubbing clothes, the clanging of pearls and stones when necklaces fall to the ground, and the characteristic voices of men and women conversing with each other when their passions are high, with heavy breathing.
He turned around immediately, but he couldn't move as if he was nailed in place, feeling like a fool.
Half an hour ago.
Ye Qiao felt a slight tightness in his chest on the boat with people coming and going, so he went to the bow of the boat to get some air.
Wen Shaoqian followed and asked, "It's windy at the bow of the boat, why are you here?"
Ye Qiao stroked her chest with one hand and shook her head: "I have a bad heart and I can't breathe."
Wen Shaoqian helped her to walk in: "You should go back to rest if you are not feeling well. If I suggest that you come here to relax, it makes your health problems worsen, I will feel very sorry."
Ye Qiao was very stubborn. She slowly pulled out her arm and said softly, "The air should circulate outside. It's too stuffy inside."
Wen Shaoqian was helpless, but he had always been well-mannered, and he was not angry because of her rejection of his kindness. He was still as gentle as a spring breeze, and joked: "Xi Shi holds her heart, it's probably like you." People feel offended, "Before I saw you, I didn't believe that beautiful women can be extraordinarily charming when they are sick and weak."
But Ye Qiao wondered, is she sick?Although it is true that she is suffering from illness, she has been trying her best to live a positive and sunny life.
But the two were not familiar with each other, so she was embarrassed to brush his face one after another, so she said: "Thank you."
Wen Shaoqian laughed loudly, followed by silence.
Maybe they were too quiet, a man and a woman who were kissing passionately on the side of the boat turned around and came to the bow, and the man in the open suit pressed his female partner against the wall, kissing passionately.
In the dim light, Wen Shaoqian and Ye Qiao happened to be standing in their blind spot.The two couldn't help being embarrassed, Wen Shaoqian gave Ye Qiao a tacit wink, Ye Qiao smiled embarrassedly, and quietly backed out of the bow.There was nowhere to live again, so he had to follow Wen Shaoqian to the guest room.
There was something wrong with the door of Ye Qiao's guest room, and he couldn't open it no matter what.She twisted it twice but couldn't unlock it, so Wen Shaoqian asked him to try.
Wen Shaoqian used so much force that he almost shook the door, but the lock wouldn't open. He said helplessly, "The door on the ship is sealed in a special way. You can call a crew member to help open it later."
A strange feeling appeared in Ye Qiao's heart: "Will it take a long time?"
"Maybe." Wen Shaoqian also had a helpless expression, "My room is still available, you can go and rest for a while. I'll call for maintenance."
He saw Ye Qiao's hesitation, and smiled frankly: "Miss Ye, are you worried about me taking advantage of others?"
Speaking of this, Ye Qiao's refusal seemed pretentious, and she said, "No. I'm just afraid that it will be inconvenient for you."
Wen Shaoqian said kindly, "It's okay."
His room was at the end of the corridor. Ye Qiao dragged the hem of her long skirt and walked forward with his steps.
Wen Shaoqian lowered his head to watch her footsteps, he didn't lift the hem of his skirt like an actress walking on the red carpet, her long skirt covered her ankles, she walked calmly, her fishtail-like tail bloomed gracefully wherever she walked.No one noticed that there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, revealing the pleasure of a fish in the net and appreciation for the spoils.
When he got there, Wen Shaoqian easily opened the door and turned on the light.The space on the ship is limited, and even the windows of the top-equipped sea view room seem cramped and narrow.The light came down, and the two of them took their places in the dark space. After entering the room, Ye Qiao obviously felt uncomfortable in his heart, frowning palely.Looking for the source, it is not just the air with poor fluidity in the cabin, but the lingering fragrance in the room.
Ye Qiao sat on his bed and sniffed it. The composition of the fragrance was very complex. It was divided into front, middle and back notes, and slowly changed, from spicy to mild: "What is this smell?"
Wen Shaoqian hung up each other's coats and called for maintenance, only to find out that she was uncomfortable: "Don't you like it? This fragrance is made in India, it can calm the nerves, and it is also good for insomnia."
After Ye Qiao got used to it, the throbbing pain ceased after a while, so she shook her head and said, "Are you also insomnia?"
He smiled lowly: "Doctors who don't suffer from insomnia will not reply to patients' consultation text messages in the middle of the night."
Ye Qiao thought about that night, if it wasn't for the fact that he had nowhere to tell, the two of them wouldn't have gotten to know each other.She has an instinctive resistance to strangers' attention, but he is very good at mastering people's psychology, probing little by little, slowly entering her world but controlling not to arouse her disgust.In fact, she could faintly feel his deliberation, but she couldn't use mistakes as an excuse to refuse.
She was slightly embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Let's forget about those 'consultations'. It's not working hours now, don't treat me as your patient."
Wen Shaoqian seemed quite interested in this: "What is that?"
"Friend." Ye Qiao replied seriously.
Her tone was very natural, but it was a pity that the skirt was too tight, and the tightness of the material when she spoke made her movements appear unnatural.
Wen Shaoqian glanced down, and said apologetically, "It seems that the dress I picked doesn't fit well."
Ye Qiao smiled and said, "It's just that the bust is a little tight. It's strange that you picked it so well."
Wen Shaoqian's eyes dimmed imperceptibly, and he looked over Ye Qiao's shoulder to check her zipper, and asked quietly, "Do you need to loosen it?"
Ye Qiao was surprised, but felt that this development was more reasonable.
She leaned over to touch the zipper under the armpit and said, "It's very troublesome to put on and take off."
"I'll help you." Wen Shaoqian didn't wait for her to finish, his palm had already covered her hand, he unbuttoned and unbuttoned his clothes very skillfully, his fingers just rubbed the skin on the back of her hand, holding her hand and zippered one by one Click to move down.Realizing that Ye Qiao didn't refuse, he narrowed his eyelashes and looked at her, then naturally bent down, and planted a tentative kiss on the hollow of her shoulder.
His lips were too cold, Ye Qiao couldn't help shivering, and wrapped his arms around his waist instead, and easily pushed him onto the bed with his neck crossed, and asked dangerously, "Is there anything?"
Wen Shaoqian hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yes."
Come prepared.
Ye Qiao sneered from the bottom of her heart, but grabbed his tie with her hand, and tore off the buttons of his shirt one by one, revealing her pale complexion.She acted fiercely and recklessly, and even tore off a few buttons of the haute couture shirt.After doing this, she grabbed the necklace that was in the way around her neck, quickly took off the two earrings, and casually threw the valuable sapphire jewelry aside.
Gemstones tumbled and jingled along the edge of the bed.
Wen Shaoqian's eyes lit up with desire, and he pressed her back, trying to cover hers with his lips.
But at the moment when his lips were about to touch, Ye Qiao suddenly pushed the person away, stood up suddenly, pointed at the jewels all over the floor and said with a cold smile: "I will return everything to you. If you need compensation for the clothes, you can send the card number to me at night." Give it to me." She neatly pulled up the zipper of the dress with one hand and said, "And this dress on me. I like it very much, thank you."
She picked up her handbag and went out quickly, and took a picture of the shoulder socket that Wen Shaoqian took advantage of just now from the round transparent glass of the cabin.The faint red hickey, she was wearing a tube top skirt, but she couldn't hide it.
Ye Qiao frowned, turned around and took a deep breath. Facing the empty and deserted deck, all he could see was dull and closed white, and there was nowhere to go for a while.
Don't even try to open the door of her room, it's hard to say it wasn't Wen Shaoqian's fault.As for the maintenance call, I don't know if he made the real call or fake it.
Ye Qiao leaned against the door of her own room, without the aggressive posture just now, instead she looked a little helpless.She pressed the lock button of the phone boredly, but there was no response. After using the iPhone all night, the battery had already run out.As for disembarkation, we have to wait until tomorrow morning, there are still at least six hours.
When she boarded this ship, she never thought that she would be in such a desperate situation.
Ye Qiao thought of a way, and was going to go out to find someone to call later, but she was too tired now, she was wearing ill-fitting high heels, sore and sore, she squatted down slowly against the door.
When people are extremely tired, they will have unrealistic fantasies.I hope that if I don't have to do anything, God will open a door for me.
The door did open.
It's the room opposite her.Ye Qiao felt a strange premonition when a pair of leather shoes stepped out of the room.She raised her head, and when she saw someone coming, she almost wanted to drag that stubborn God down to confront him.What kind of fate is this that can make him appear at the opposite door again?
Zhou Tingshen paused in front of her, with a hint of astonishment on his gloomy face.
Ye Qiao didn't speak, nor did he move away.
She raised her head, her neck was sore, she lowered it again, her chin rested leisurely on her bent knee, not knowing what expression to do.
In Zhou Tingshen's eyes, after a brief surprise, she just lowered her head and smiled, her attitude was so contemptuous that she just saw an insignificant passerby.He suppressed his anger and pursed his lips, and wanted to walk, but when he passed her, his pace involuntarily slowed down, vaguely expecting her to raise her head again, ask him for help, or cry to him, or even watch him leave... These thoughts are despicable and despicable , Zhou Ting mobilized his reason and forced himself to speed up.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qiao raised his head, and the voice seemed to appear in his dream: "Is there any smoke?"
Zhou Ting turned around deeply, Ye Qiao was quietly looking at his hands in his trouser pockets, and knew his habits like the back of his hand.
The fingers hidden in the pocket moved slightly, and finally held the cigarette case and threw it to her.Ye Qiao caught it, pulled out one, and looked up at him, the meaning in his eyes was clear at a glance.Zhou Tingshen simply walked back in front of her, knelt down on one knee, polished the lighter and lit it for her, and mocked with his eyes met: "Did you get kicked out?"
Just as Ye Qiao took a puff, he was so excited by these words that he coughed, and the smoke coughed across his face.She covered her mouth with her backhand, still coughing badly, as if all the gloom of the night had taken this opportunity to break out of her body, she coughed and laughed ironically.
She raised her head provocatively: "Like?"
Zhou Ting squatted down and was still a head taller than her, and he could see a shocking hickey under her neck, which was empty after removing the jewelry, like a smudged ambiguous flower.He turned his eyes away, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Ye Qiao held his face between his cigarettes and forced him to look at it: "It's not like I haven't seen it before, so why be ashamed?"
Zhou Tingshen was forced to face her, but he didn't move his gaze down an inch, staring closely at her eyes that couldn't distinguish his emotions.
Ye Qiao felt uncomfortably stared at, and tilted her neck slightly, presenting her collarbone in front of his eyes, deliberately smiling to hide her embarrassment: "Do you feel familiar? So you are not the only one who likes bones."
In the past, she thought that her wantonness was a matter of taste and charm, but now it seemed that it was all retribution.Zhou Ting couldn't restrain his anger at her frivolous appearance, and his voice was suppressed: "Ye Qiao, to you, am I the same as those people?"
Ye Qiao's smile froze.Her thoughts were all occupied by the sudden question, and she let her hand be pulled from her cheek by him, her eyes paused for a moment.
It is the same?
she does not know.But when facing Wen Shaoqian just now, Ye Qiao even thought for a few seconds, what's the difference, why not just follow his wishes.But her dislike for Wen Shaoqian still prevailed, she pretended to cater to her, but she actually did evil.Originally, she wanted to tease him for a longer time to let out a bad breath, but when he wanted to kiss her, she subconsciously pushed him away.
But now she is staring at the sharp-edged lips of the person in front of her, but there is a hint of urgency in her heart.She wanted to cross this short ten centimeters, cling to his lips and teeth, taste his warmth and ferocity, and snatch his strong breath when he was emotional.She wanted to see this pair of solemn and indifferent lips, slightly curved, smiling evilly and gently at her like countless times before.
Ye Qiao suddenly felt flustered, turned away to take a puff of cigarette, and said, "I don't know."
Zhou Tingshen stood up, her eyes couldn't see whether she was lonely or not, she even dared not look into those eyes, fearing that they were full of lonely disappointment.However, the next second, there was the sound of machinery running overhead, and the door Ye Qiao was leaning on led her to fall backwards.Zhou Ting subconsciously bent down to grab a handful, held her to prevent her from falling, and smiled contemptuously: "What do you know? The door on the boat has a latch, just pull it. Are you really so easy to deceive, or are you just pretending ?”
Ye Qiao was stunned, raised her head in disbelief, and said in a sad and ridiculous tone, "You suspect that I'm pretending to be stupid and throwing myself into someone's arms on purpose?"
The cigarette butt in her hand fell to the ground, and Zhou Ting rolled his throat with difficulty, so he could only focus on the scarlet flame.The oxygen in the air was consumed by the tobacco, Ye Qiao's heart was choked up, her breathing was difficult, she forced herself to stand up with the door frame, and looked up at him: "Since you all feel that way, what are you doing here?"
Zhou Ting had mixed feelings in his heart and wanted to explain, but was so excited by this sentence that he wanted to leave.While hesitating, she heard a familiar "hiss" between her teeth.
She always had a good time every time she had a cramp.
Ye Qiao didn't eat much at night, and she suffered from hypoglycemia when she stood up abruptly, and now she felt dizzy from the pain.
Zhou Tingshen held her by his arm almost without hesitation, but the moment of softness quickly faded away, because Ye Qiao let go of him slowly and backed into the room step by step.
Finally, he jumped behind the door and hit the ground with his heels. Ye Qiao's whole body went numb, but he didn't want to show weakness.She raised her head and found that he was watching "indifferently". Suddenly, resentment came from nowhere in her heart, and she tried her best to close the door and slammed the door he opened back on his face.
A few tenths of a millimeter from the tip of the nose was suddenly cut off by a door panel, Zhou Tingshen's dull eyes regained his sense of reality, and his reason was suddenly shaken back by the loud noise.
He quickly went to turn the lock, only to find that her vigilance had returned to normal at this moment, and he resolutely locked it.Zhou Ting slapped the door with both palms, and called her in a chaotic manner, "Ye Qiao, Ye Qiao, open the door."
The sound insulation on the boat was extremely poor, even the slightest footsteps could be heard, but there was no sound at all inside.Zhou Ting was deeply afraid that something would happen to her, and Ye Qiao in the room was shocked by the ferocity of knocking on the door.The manic depression in the heart and lungs was shocked and spread all over the body, her body was like a machine made of parts, and she had no doubt that she might be dismantled by him in the next moment.
Ye Qiao managed to overcome the pain of the muscle twitch, and kicked the door backwards.
With a "bang", the door finally stopped.
Her slow footsteps sounded from inside the door, Ye Qiao dug out the data cable from the suitcase, and switched on the phone.Zhou Ting finally stopped when he heard the cold notification that the phone was charging.The surging anger burns patience, and it seems that patience is about to be burned, but the anger is always extinguished at the last moment.
Looking up is a closed door.
This pursuit of beauty caused by excitement finally reaped a completely strange self.
Ye Qiao waited until the corridor was completely quiet, and then opened the door after a long time, only to find that there was no one there, only the cigarette butt that she had smoked and then extinguished, lay flat on the ground.She almost cursed in her heart.
After staying up in the middle of the night, she lay on her back on the narrow bed and listened to the sound of the sea water's creek. She couldn't fall asleep again, and she was hungry, scolding Zhou Tingshen back and forth.Although Wen Shaoqian was the one who made her become like this for some reason, he was the one who was scolded.But she had already put the name Wen Shaoqian behind her, and she wholeheartedly felt that Zhou Tingshen was stupid and ruthless.
Ye Qiao scolded him in his heart with gangster logic all night. In his dream, the sound of waves was deep and shallow, and his eyes floated vaguely, which disturbed people's mind.
When I went out again the next day, I saw these eyes again for the first time.
He was sitting in a corner of the restaurant on the ship, surrounded by the sea breeze blowing comfortably, and a beautiful woman who was as comfortable as the sea breeze.Ye Qiao passed by with a self-service tray, and heard the woman talking to him about the Dutch painting school and altars in a decent tone.
Ye Qiao couldn't help but snort.
Zhou Tingshen smoked all night in the bow of the boat last night, and finally went to have a peaceful breakfast as usual, but the taste of every food seemed to be unsettling.The person Liang Zirao introduced took the initiative to greet him, and he ate half the meal with him, but he didn't know which one she was in the email.
But at this time, I heard a contemptuous laugh.
Ye Qiao noticed his gaze, realized her gaffe just now, and said in an apologetic tone, "Morning."
Zhou Tingshen couldn't do it like she put on a peaceful face, and used a fork to stir the salad that his girlfriend helped him with a sullen face.
The well-spoken beauty looked around: "Do you know each other?"
Ye Qiao ignored it, and looked at his fork quietly, thoughtfully: "If I'm not mistaken, this plate seems to be thinly sliced raw beef mixed with vegetable salad? You are not picky eaters now, you don't only eat meat, Did you even eat raw meat?"
The silver fork was suddenly placed on the table.
The beauty was startled by him, she stood up and said, "Sorry, are you a vegetarian? I'll get you another plate."
She got up to leave, and Ye Qiao returned to court with the tray.
Zhou Ting couldn't help but take the plate from her hand.
Seeing that the plate of spaghetti was snatched away by him, Ye Qiao smiled well-mannered: "I need creamy mushroom noodles, I can ask your little beauty to help you get a plate. She should be very happy." She stretched out her hand to fetch it for herself. food.
Zhou Ting leaned on the dining table to face her, and raised the corner of his mouth mockingly: "What do you mean?"
Of course Ye Qiao knew how artificial he was sour. He slightly tilted his hand towards the pasta, took away his salad, and raised his eyelashes: "Do you think I'm frivolous? I'm a prodigal? Or something, pretending to be stupid." Stunned?" She paused for a moment, with a slight sullen tone in her tone, "How about it, am I pretending well, is it written all over my face?"
Zhou Ting couldn't hold back when she heard her bring up the old story again.He admitted the scene last night, but anyone with a little sense could see her distress and helplessness, it was nothing like just going to Wushan together with others.He frowned: "I didn't..."
"Okay." Ye Qiao's face fell, not wanting to hear him repeat the unpleasant things, and wanted to leave with the salad.
Zhou Ting pulled her deeply, and he thought he would never have the urge to say many things, but at this moment, he seemed to have a new life.He grasped it subconsciously, his eyes settled down: "Ye Qiao, let's have a good talk."
Ye Qiao calmed down and looked into his eyes deeply.Such outstanding and sharp eyes, slightly blue around the eyes, made him look haggard.Ye Qiao took a deep breath, quickly glanced at the woman approaching behind her, and said, "I want to sit down, but you seem to have your 'Netherlands Altar'. Come to me after you finish talking about this." Bar."
Zhou Ting was noncommittal, and Ye Qiao didn't wait.She seems to be intentional or unintentional, she always teases people when the vitality disappears, and then leaves.He watched her leave gracefully, and a new face sat in front of her.
The beauty put a serving of Pleurotus eryngii with sesame sauce in front of him: "This is the only one in the salad section. The taste is a bit strange. I don't know if you don't mind." She looked down and found that Zhou Ting was absent-minded. He had been dialing a number on his mobile phone and understood. Promptly, "Ye Qiao...is that the one just now?"
Zhou Ting was shocked when he heard Ye Qiao's name, he raised his head and said, "I'm sorry."
"You don't need to apologize." She smiled indifferently, "Sister Zi Rao told me about your 'past'."
Zhou Ting raised his eyebrows deeply: "In the past? You said her?" He shook Ye Qiao's name in the communication log.
"Isn't it?"
Zhou Ting lit a cigarette, exhaled with a smile, and said, "No." Thinking about it, he felt it was a pity, he was happy for her and worried for her, but she didn't even count his "past".The smoke was blown away by the sea breeze, "It hasn't passed yet."
The beauty pondered over the meaning of "not yet" and said carefully, "Did you quarrel?"
"No." Can't argue.
"cold war?"
"No." It should be, but she took the initiative to break the silence.
"Then why is it so weird?"
The lighter that Zhou Tingshen fiddled with suddenly stopped between his fingers, and the answer rolled down his throat twice before he could say it, but chuckled: "Because she's not interested in me."
"How could it be possible—" The woman on the opposite side sneered as if hearing an anecdote, "No woman would be jealous of a man who is not interested. She just did that, so sour..."
On the shore, when Ye Qiao got off the boat, her heart was still pounding when she suddenly received a bank transaction request on her mobile phone.She thought it was Wen Shaoqian, and when she opened it, she was startled.
Gu Jin really called her 100 million.Ye Qiao counted the zeros after that, and was so angry that he threw the phone into the water.
The dark blue sea water slowly engulfed her mobile phone, the SIM card failed, and before the screen was powered off, there seemed to be a new incoming call reminder, which flashed away.
Liang Zirao didn't see Wen Shaoqian or Ye Qiao at the second day's auction. When he went back, he found that Zhou Tingshen was also missing. He was so angry that he called him and said, "Didn't you say that you will be sent by me for a month?"
He said lightly: "One moment and another moment."
Liang Zirao was even angrier: "You have nothing to say, why don't you tell me! I asked you if you will come back?"
Zhou Tingshen said in the familiar rascal tone again, "I learned from others." Then he added lightly, "I won't come back."
He was driving on the national highway, only to find out how far Haicheng is from Lingcheng. What went into his head and drove here overnight?
The mobile phone placed on the dashboard again showed that it could not be connected, Zhou Ting frowned deeply, watching it automatically connect to the next call.
Countless forest leaves in Qingqiu retreated rapidly from his side, like a turquoise scroll.He couldn't wait to unfold this scroll to the end and stamp someone's seal at the end.
However, at this time, Ye Qiao was sitting in the waiting hall about to go to another city, using a borrowed mobile phone to report to Qianxi that she was safe.
Qianxi had been gossiping for several days, so of course she wanted to come to find out the final progress, and asked excitedly, "How is brother Shaoqian? Is he talented and gentle?"
"Yeah." Ye Qiao was perfunctory, eager to end the topic.
Ye Qiao only thought that she met someone unkind and didn't want to pursue it, but Qian Xi was still asking excitedly, so she could only interrupt impatiently: "Don't ask." In order to make this sentence more convincing , she raised her head and said with difficulty, "I have someone I like."
Qianxi yelled: "Isn't it? Cousin, you have moved on so quickly? I'm so sorry, brother Shaoqian..." She complained for a while, then felt that gossip was more important, and the matchmaker began to ask three times, "Who is it? Ah? How do you look? What do you do at home?"
There were too many questions, so Ye Qiao chose the last one to answer: "I don't know."
Qian Xi let out an "ah" and said, "Then what does he do?"
Ye Qiao thought for a while, and found that he only knew the general idea, and didn't really understand it, so he said truthfully, "I don't know."
Qian Xi felt that she was on the verge of collapse, and she ignited her last hope: "Then does he like you? You know this, right?"
Of course I liked it before.But after last night, both of them were a little disappointed in each other.Ye Qiao showed the only honesty he had, but he didn't know if he would understand, so he said, "I haven't asked yet." Although...he said it once before, but now and then.
Qianxi was holding the phone and was about to cry: "Cousin, didn't you really lie to me? I don't know if I didn't ask... A few days ago, my grandma asked me about your situation, and I also reasoned that it was because you had high eyesight and didn't want to look for you. , so it is so easy to get the heart of a goddess, I'm going to your Weibo to call on fans to protest!"
Ye Qiao's reply was still the same: "Go. I'm dead."
Qianxi begged her not to hang up the phone with a loud "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh') "The last question! There's only one!"
Ye Qiao said patiently, "Ask."
Qianxi created a mysterious atmosphere and made the matter serious, but in the end, only two words were asked - "Are you handsome?"
Ye Qiao snorted and said, "Probably."
Qianxi imitated the big demon king in the cartoon and laughed, filled with righteous indignation: "So, this is really a look! Face! World! World!"
Ye Qiao hung up the phone, called Shen Ting to confirm the upcoming itinerary, and then returned the phone to the owner who lent her.It was a college boy with handsome features, simple and clean clothes, and two shallow dimples when he smiled. When he took the phone back, he said to her, "Thank you."
She should be saying thank you.Ye Qiao smiled kindly at him, took out a small velvet box from his bag, and said, "The call was a domestic long-distance call, and it probably cost you a lot of phone bills. A small gift as compensation?"
The boy shyly refused: "No need. It's just a little effort."
There was a girl far away, carrying a bulging Never Full bag, calling "Shen Yi" and coming this way.
The boy hurried up to help her carry the bag and said, "Why did you come here?"
The girl panted and replied: "I brought too many things, and it took a lot of effort to check them in. Have you been waiting for a long time?" She tiptoed to help him adjust the woolen hat on his head in distress, but when she looked up, she He saw Ye Qiao behind him.
Ye Qiao actually recognized her a long time ago, and greeted her with a smile: "Zhao Mo."
Zhao Mo's face froze. Seeing Shen Yi's bag was placed next to Ye Qiao's position, he knew that the two of them were sitting next to each other by chance.Ye Qiao could easily read the worries in her eyes, and smoothed things over and said, "What a coincidence. Is this your boyfriend?"
Zhao Mo still smiled awkwardly, nodded and said, "Yes. He's one level younger than me, and he's still studying in film school." Then he introduced to her little boyfriend, "This is Senior Sister Ye Qiao... You entered school late, maybe I haven’t heard of it. Where are the figures of the previous sessions.”
Shen Yi said "Oh", and stretched out his hand happily, revealing two dimples: "Senior Sister, hello. Just now, I felt that Senior Sister looked familiar, but I didn't expect that she was an alumni."
Ye Qiao reached out and shook her hand lightly, and said, "Zhao Mo and I have just collaborated on a movie, and it is fate that we met here." She handed the gift box over again, "Since everyone knows each other, you can accept this." Go ahead and give it to your girlfriend."
Zhao Mo quickly declined: "How embarrassing..."
"He did me a favor just now. It's right to send you off." When Ye Qiao said this, Zhao Mo and her boyfriend looked at each other, and finally took the box.
When I opened it, I saw a pair of exquisite silver earrings.
Zhao Mo whispered to Shen Yi: "What did you do for Senior Sister?" Shen Yi was innocent: "Her cell phone seems to have been lost, so I borrowed it to call her. Senior Sister is very nice." Zhao Mo clicked Feeling that it was too unreasonable to take Ye Qiao's gift for this matter, she gave Ye Qiao an apologetic look.Ye Qiao shook his head lightly to express that he didn't need it.
Zhao Mo held his boyfriend's hand and whispered for a while, then turned around and chatted with Ye Qiao: "Sister Qiao, are you here to visit Haicheng?"
"No, I just came to participate in an auction." However, before the auction officially started, she changed the ticket to go back.
Ye Qiao sensed some sarcasm and said with a smile, "That's where you bought the pair of earrings in your hand."
Zhao Mo hurriedly wanted to return the gift box: "This is so embarrassing, it's too precious."
"You misunderstood." Ye Qiao smiled gently, "It wasn't auctioned, don't worry. Auctions of this level have products from affiliated companies on display. Ferra has a jewelry brand, and I bought ordinary ones there. The style was originally intended to be given to my cousin." But because of Qianxi's unintentional mistake, she was almost taken advantage of by Wen Shaoqian, and she changed her mind later, planning to hide her gift privately as a punishment, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now .
Zhao Mo said, "Then thank you sister Qiao", but what he thought was, isn't the spokesperson of Ferra's jewelry brand Cheng Jiang?Ye Qiao's heart was so wide-eyed, did he not know, or did he really not care?
She was thinking too much, Ye Qiao felt a little disgusted by others thinking about it in front of her, so she interrupted her thinking, "Why are you coming to Haicheng?"
Only then did Zhao Mo come back to his senses, his cheeks flushed slightly: "Shen Yi and I are both from Haicheng, this time we came back to meet our parents..."
Ye Qiao said, "It's pretty good." Finally, he added, "You've only been back for a few days and left. You've worked very hard."
Zhao Mo said ashamedly: "This time I went to Yangcheng to audition. Hengshan Films cast "Wonderless City", a new work directed by Wang Qingming. There are rumors on the Internet that Director Wang contacted your company, Senior Sister, and hoped that you would play the role of the twin girls." One of the Lords, is it true?"
Ye Qiao frowned. From her point of view, her role in "Wonderless City" was still a matter of ignorance, so she explained softly: "I just went to audition, and the final result is not yet finalized. You have also taken a lot of filming The movie is over, it should be very clear how it is written in the confidentiality clause."
Zhao Mo knew he was talking too much, but fortunately the boarding announcement sounded at the right time, ending the embarrassment.
After the two got off the plane, they ran to the same hotel and lived on the upper and lower floors.
The difference was that Ye Qiao's room was booked for her by the film crew. It was a VIP suite. Since Shen Ting was still on vacation and she had few things with her, Zhao Mo was asked to check in first.Zhao Mo secretly clenched his boyfriend's hand, reluctantly greeted Ye Qiao before taking a step into the elevator.She had a lot of luggage, and it was quite difficult to carry it into the elevator. Fortunately, Shen Yi helped her to get it safely.The moment the elevator door closed, Zhao Mo looked at Ye Qiao, who was at the counter in a light dress, and pressed his lower lip silently.
Shen Yi whispered in her ear the plan for these two days: "Tomorrow you go to the audition, and I'll go talk to the advertiser who asked me to be a model. After we're done, we'll go to Art Street for dinner. We'll be in Yangcheng in two days. Have a good time, okay?"
Zhao Mo didn't pay attention, and said, "Huh? What?"
Shen Yi was sullen: "What's going on with you today, you've been absent-minded since the airport..."
At night, Ye Qiao fell into another protracted insomnia.
In the city where she grew up, she had experienced the joys and sorrows of the previous 13 years, and all of them emerged at this time.In just 13 years, at the age of Children's Day, she felt that she had tasted life, old age, sickness and death, love and hatred, good and evil, good and evil.
The moonlight quietly fell, and through the gauze curtains of the hotel, Ye Qiao thought of the poem ignorantly, "When the riverside sees the moon at the beginning of the year, when the river moon shines on people at the beginning of the year."Only the moon, regardless of people's joys and sorrows, is gentle and ruthless every year.
Ye Qiao was so emotional that she swallowed the Valium before falling asleep.
The next day, she rushed to the audition scene and met Zhao Mo again.
The film and television base is in a corner of Yangcheng, and the air is much fresher than in the urban area.Ye Qiao took off her mask, went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and met Zhao Mo who was touching up her makeup.
The two just greeted each other lightly. Ye Qiao pressed the hand sanitizer and slowly cleaned up the foam between her fingers. Her fair face was reflected in the same mirror as Zhao Mo's, which was clearer and more natural than Zhao Mo's elaborate make-up.Zhao Mo suddenly put down the powder cake and said, "Yesterday...thank you."
Ye Qiao looked up: "Huh?"
Zhao Mo became cruel and said, "Shen Yi and I... are going to get married right away."
Ye Qiao recalled the name "Shen Yi", and those two soft dimples appeared in his mind, he smiled and said "Congratulations", and then did not continue.
She turned to leave, but Zhao Mo called to her again, trying to speak clearly in one go.However, she didn't know how to be "clear", how to forcibly smear something "clear" that was not clear in the first place.
Ye Qiao, on the other hand, looked at Zhao Mo's face turning green and then pale, and said clearly: "The important thing about many things is not whether others remember or not, and whether you will publicize it, but whether you give others a chance to remember and publicize it. Since everyone If you are rushing to get married, you should remind yourself of this in your heart. Don’t you know whether you should use many means or not, and whether you should touch many "opportunities"?"
She suddenly frowned and said, "I've seen your state when you were filming "Watchmen". I will accompany the wedding banquet."
That's all Ye Qiao said. She walked into the audition rest room to put her bag away, but happened to see Xu Yinshan inside.
I don't know if it's because the Encounter Road is narrow, but Xu Yinshan was supposed to be in the last audition, but besides the director and Hengying's leader, there was another seat vacant in the audition room.The film crew said it was because the investors were also involved in the casting, and the representative just arrived in Yangcheng this morning and was still stuck on the road, so she asked her to wait a moment.
If not, she and Ye Qiao wouldn't be able to face each other at all.
Xu Yinshan was furious, it was obvious that she was bullying her.The previous audition was for Pei Xindan, a popular female actress in mainland China. The manager didn't come at all, and left after a cutscene. It was obvious that the lead actor had already been filmed, and he was just looking at the camera effects to finalize the role.In recent years, Pei Xindan has produced high-quality and high-quality hit dramas every year, and theatrical movies have not fallen behind. The double-star actress is in the limelight, attracting more money than actresses like Cheng Jiang who focus on TV dramas.She joins "Wonderless City" as the main character.
After such a calculation, one of the two heroines has already been decided.Xu Yinshan played the second female role all the year round, and often encountered the fate of not being popular in dramas. She must win the heroine in this drama.
Ye Qiao passed her into the audition room, and shook hands with Director Wang and the others one by one.Director Wang Qingming has a close personal relationship with Director Lai, and this time Ye Qiao was recommended by Director Lai to have this opportunity.Wang Qingming said with a smile, "I hope you don't let me down." She was flattered and modestly said that she would do her best.
In the end, just as I was about to leave to prepare, I heard some newcomers discussing in the rest room.
"When I first came in, I met investors, and it was a level of unspoken rules."
"Is it such an exaggeration?"
"Go out and see for yourself... I think she looks a bit like Lu Qing. But Lu Qing has a flaw when she is old, and she can't look at it without makeup! This one looks so young, but she needs to be a bit colder."
When Ye Qiao opened the door and entered the room, Xu Yinshan was losing her temper with her assistant with an ugly face. When she saw Ye Qiao, she lifted her eyes, gave her a cold look, and laughed twice as if she was afraid that Ye Qiao might not notice.The meaning in that look is complicated, there is contempt and disdain, the subtext is obvious, as if to say - you are nothing more than that.
Ye Qiao knew that Xu Yinshan had used Cheng Jiang's contacts to get close to a well-known producer in the industry recently, and her arrogance was rising again, but she didn't know what happened to her recently to make her put on such a face .
There was a "ding dong" when the elevator arrived behind him, and Ye Qiao stopped the hand that pushed the door.Turning around, two receptionists appeared in the corridor surrounded by familiar figures.He has a loose posture, lowering his eyes and chatting with the people around him.Ye Qiao caught a glimpse of it from afar and finally understood the key.
She is wearing a pair of white leather boots today, and some white and slender knees are exposed under the skirt of the same color. Standing in the windless corridor in early autumn, she is so pure that people want to add color to her body.
When Zhou Tingshen looked up, Ye Qiao just turned around, with his hands in the pockets of the tailored gray windbreaker, as if he was waiting for him to approach.
Ye Qiao looked at it like this for a while, the corner of her mouth moved, and she turned back into the rest room with her usual expression.Before she could take a step, Zhou Ting grabbed her slender willow arm and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Didn't you come to audition? Did you go to the wrong room?"
(End of this chapter)
Countless forest leaves in Qingqiu retreated rapidly from his side, like a turquoise scroll.He couldn't wait to unfold this scroll to the end and stamp someone's seal at the end.
Zhou Tingshen helped Liang Zirao deal with the auction house affairs all morning, and when she woke up, lunch had already been booked at the restaurant and delivered to the guest room.
Liang Zirao entered the living room after washing up, and saw a table of exquisite food. Zhou Ting sat on the sofa next to her and continued to help her check the latest guest list sent by the secretary.He didn't sleep all night, but he didn't intend to rest. Liang Zirao felt guilty and surprised, and said, "You drove here last night, don't you need to take a rest?"
She booked a top-level suite with another bedroom for rest.Zhou Tingshen didn't appreciate it, and said without raising his head, "No need."
Liang Zirao sat at the dining table, took a bite of the curry, and found that the food was complete, she frowned slightly: "Didn't you eat it?"
Zhou Tingshen was like a machine stuck in work: "Eat it yourself."
Liang Zirao reconciled with him reluctantly: "I was wrong in the morning, it was because you woke me up early and lost my mind... Okay, I will help you with the audition you told me about last time." Yes, it took a lot of effort. Let me make an apology for you? Okay?"
It's a pity that some things have passed the statute of limitations.Zhou Ting gave a rather indifferent "Yes", and continued to read the information, saying that there is no need to bother.
Liang Zirao got angry, took a sip, put it in his mouth, chewed and ate it slowly, and then said: "Don't look at it. I checked that thing last night. I asked the secretary to print a new version and send it over this morning. It won't has a problem."
Zhou Ting was deeply hit by her, and put it down unhappily: "Have you gone through all the venue procedures?"
"I've walked through it twice, and besides, the convention and exhibition center has cooperated with us many times, and there is a special person in charge, so I can trust you." Liang Zirao went over to organize all the documents, stood in front of him and asked him for the share in his hand, "Okay, no need As soon as I came here, I was eager to do things. This time, this one is really powerful, and can make you toss like this. I must pay a visit to her someday and ask her for advice."
Liang Zirao stretched out his hand to grab the document he was holding: "Okay, give it to me. There are many things that need your help. This one or two are not missing. You go to bed first, okay? lest Dad say I abused you .”
She knows Zhou Tingshen's weakness best. He takes the weak but not the hard, as long as he says a few nice words, he will usually go along with the flow.
To her surprise, he didn't let go of his hand several times, and stared at a name on the list—Wen Shaoqian.
Zhou Ting frowned deeply, feeling that the name was indescribably familiar, and murmured it softly.
Liang Zirao heard it clearly, and said in surprise, "Have you heard of him? The youngest son of the Wen family, who studies psychology, is said to be a returnee with a Ph. , I just took an antique crown ring for my girlfriend at that time, and it is said that I dumped it within two days. The little girlfriend was crying and took the ring to him, but he didn't even look at it."
It is rare for her to gossip, and there is a hint of cunning in her eyes: "Tsk tsk, such a person is bad news for women, but we are an auction house, and we regard him as our guest of honor."
Zhou Tingshen recalled this person through her words, and finally remembered that this person was Ye Qiao's psychiatrist.When he was having dinner with Ye Qiao that day, he also saw the text messages he sent to Ye Qiao, the words were modest and polite, and he looked like a gentleman.But men know men best, and those extra sentences for no reason, no matter how polite and gentle, all exude his interest in this woman.
Seeing him in a daze, Liang Zirao raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, do you know him?"
"Look at the face, just ask."
"Heh, you meet a lot of people. How long have you been in charge of Ferra's business? How many people can you know?"
Liang Ziluo was happy after complaining, and then remembered the business, and asked: "Do you have any friendship with this Wen Shaoqian?" She stared at him seriously, "Listen, your current situation is the limit of what the family can bear, if you don't learn well , go the same way with this kind of person, don't blame Dad for kicking you out."
Zhou Ting brushed her arm away amusedly: "Don't worry."
Only then did Liang Zirao feel relieved, and said with a smile, "That's good. There will be a welcome dance when the auction opens, and there will be many beauties at that time. You can choose whatever you want, and I'll pretend I didn't see it."
Zhou Tingshen is not keen on such things.But Liang Zirao didn't know if he was immersed in work and depressed for too long, and he was very keen on finding a partner for him. He even sent a few photos and information to his mailbox like the seven aunts and eight aunts, saying that they were all high-quality candidates.Zhou Ting took a deep look. It was either a talented woman from Cambridge or a Ph.D. from Columbia University.Is he looking for a woman or opening a research institute?
On that day, the night was bright and moving, and the night at the harbor was as fascinating as water. The double-decker cruise ship at the Ferra ball sailed into the port, and French pop music ambiguously intoxicated men and women.Zhou Ting found a high place to drink, overlooking the grand occasion tonight, the scent of women's perfume dyed the sea breeze with a layer of fragrance.Such a night was surprisingly boring for him.
He lowered his eyes lazily, but he saw the bright scenery at the first glance.
She is wearing a water-blue long dress, and the appropriate sequin embellishment does not look exaggerated, but instead makes her graceful curves sway like a deep-sea mermaid. The simple-designed sapphire pendant sinks into the peaks and ridges on her chest, like opening a charming The key to the landscape.
Born to be the darling of the lens, even without a camera, he is the most dazzling one in the crowd.
Why is she here?
On the deck, Ye Qiao looked left and right, looking for Wen Shaoqian.
If he hadn't advised her from a "professional point of view" to seize the vacation and get out of the busy work and relationship problems, she would not have come here.
The night wind blew through the hair, and the moon shone brightly into the water with a soft light like a defocused moon.
Ye Qiao shook his head, and a well-scented coat was put on his shoulders.Wen Shaoqian helped her close up in a gentlemanly manner, and said, "It's cold outside, do you want to have a drink or two to warm up?"
"Okay." The moment she left, she suddenly turned around and took a look, but her eyes couldn't find where she was.
Wen Shaoqian asked: "What's wrong?"
Ye Qiao shook his head: "It's okay. Maybe I misread it."
But her intuition has always been sensitive, just at that moment, she clearly felt that someone was looking here.
On the other side, Zhou Ting took a deep look, put the empty red wine glass on the waiter's tray, and walked into the room.
The lights came on suddenly, and the bright light roughly eliminated his dim vision after a long time in the night.Unfortunately, it was useless, that figure was still floating in front of his eyes.
She is smiling at someone.
To a gentle scum that Liang Zirao called.
Thinking of this, Liang Zirao just appeared in front of him, lightly floated the red wine in his hand, and teased: "Why, you seem to be lacking in interest?"
Zhou Ting frowned deeply: "You never told me she would come."
"Who? Ye Qiao?" Liang Zirao just met her, and when she met again, she finally saw her face clearly. She was indeed a rare beauty.What's rare is that she has the generous temperament of a scholarly family with every gesture, and also has the appearance and figure that can occupy a place in the entertainment industry. No wonder she can fascinate people.
If it wasn't for the past, she would not object to such a woman entering the Zhou family.
Liang Zirao's tone was tinged with regret: "Do you think I invited you? It's not like you haven't seen the list of guests. They brought a female companion here, and they are not serious wives. Who knows which one?"
Zhou Ting ignored her and walked straight to the bar.Liang Zirao couldn't help shouting, just when he interrupted him, the person he wanted to introduce was forgotten, and it was too late to shout again.
Zhou Tingshen drank two glasses of wine, and received a holiday wish from Wu Zi on his mobile phone who was a few days late: "Brother Shen, happy National Day! Brother, don't like to remember these messy festivals, don't mind if you are two days late!"
He casually replied.
Wu Zi immediately replied with a playful smile: "Haha, brother's red envelope is ready, what's the matter with you? Don't be silly!"
"..."
Zhou Tingshen pressed the phone without saying a word, and walked out step by step with his rationality dissipated.When the night wind blew, there were many people on the boat, but the mermaid that made him dream about was gone.
He asked a few waiters, and some said it seemed to be heading towards the bow.The place was dimly lit and few people came. In the dim light, there was a man and woman kissing passionately. Zhou Ting glanced deeply in shock. The other party felt embarrassed, but when he turned his head, there were two unfamiliar faces.Zhou Ting looked around for a week and left without hesitation.
Ye Qiao and Wen Shaoqian disappeared together, not at the bow, not in the hall, but in the guest room.
Zhou Ting deeply suspected that he had the tendency of masochism, so he clicked on the list of guest rooms lying in the mailbox of his mobile phone. Wen Shaoqian's room was at the end, which was very quiet.He couldn't help walking in that direction, the narrow passage was so silent that he could hear his heartbeat and breathing.The soundproofing of the room on the ship was poor, and he could hear the ping-pong-pong inside without paying attention when he approached.
The sound of rubbing clothes, the clanging of pearls and stones when necklaces fall to the ground, and the characteristic voices of men and women conversing with each other when their passions are high, with heavy breathing.
He turned around immediately, but he couldn't move as if he was nailed in place, feeling like a fool.
Half an hour ago.
Ye Qiao felt a slight tightness in his chest on the boat with people coming and going, so he went to the bow of the boat to get some air.
Wen Shaoqian followed and asked, "It's windy at the bow of the boat, why are you here?"
Ye Qiao stroked her chest with one hand and shook her head: "I have a bad heart and I can't breathe."
Wen Shaoqian helped her to walk in: "You should go back to rest if you are not feeling well. If I suggest that you come here to relax, it makes your health problems worsen, I will feel very sorry."
Ye Qiao was very stubborn. She slowly pulled out her arm and said softly, "The air should circulate outside. It's too stuffy inside."
Wen Shaoqian was helpless, but he had always been well-mannered, and he was not angry because of her rejection of his kindness. He was still as gentle as a spring breeze, and joked: "Xi Shi holds her heart, it's probably like you." People feel offended, "Before I saw you, I didn't believe that beautiful women can be extraordinarily charming when they are sick and weak."
But Ye Qiao wondered, is she sick?Although it is true that she is suffering from illness, she has been trying her best to live a positive and sunny life.
But the two were not familiar with each other, so she was embarrassed to brush his face one after another, so she said: "Thank you."
Wen Shaoqian laughed loudly, followed by silence.
Maybe they were too quiet, a man and a woman who were kissing passionately on the side of the boat turned around and came to the bow, and the man in the open suit pressed his female partner against the wall, kissing passionately.
In the dim light, Wen Shaoqian and Ye Qiao happened to be standing in their blind spot.The two couldn't help being embarrassed, Wen Shaoqian gave Ye Qiao a tacit wink, Ye Qiao smiled embarrassedly, and quietly backed out of the bow.There was nowhere to live again, so he had to follow Wen Shaoqian to the guest room.
There was something wrong with the door of Ye Qiao's guest room, and he couldn't open it no matter what.She twisted it twice but couldn't unlock it, so Wen Shaoqian asked him to try.
Wen Shaoqian used so much force that he almost shook the door, but the lock wouldn't open. He said helplessly, "The door on the ship is sealed in a special way. You can call a crew member to help open it later."
A strange feeling appeared in Ye Qiao's heart: "Will it take a long time?"
"Maybe." Wen Shaoqian also had a helpless expression, "My room is still available, you can go and rest for a while. I'll call for maintenance."
He saw Ye Qiao's hesitation, and smiled frankly: "Miss Ye, are you worried about me taking advantage of others?"
Speaking of this, Ye Qiao's refusal seemed pretentious, and she said, "No. I'm just afraid that it will be inconvenient for you."
Wen Shaoqian said kindly, "It's okay."
His room was at the end of the corridor. Ye Qiao dragged the hem of her long skirt and walked forward with his steps.
Wen Shaoqian lowered his head to watch her footsteps, he didn't lift the hem of his skirt like an actress walking on the red carpet, her long skirt covered her ankles, she walked calmly, her fishtail-like tail bloomed gracefully wherever she walked.No one noticed that there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, revealing the pleasure of a fish in the net and appreciation for the spoils.
When he got there, Wen Shaoqian easily opened the door and turned on the light.The space on the ship is limited, and even the windows of the top-equipped sea view room seem cramped and narrow.The light came down, and the two of them took their places in the dark space. After entering the room, Ye Qiao obviously felt uncomfortable in his heart, frowning palely.Looking for the source, it is not just the air with poor fluidity in the cabin, but the lingering fragrance in the room.
Ye Qiao sat on his bed and sniffed it. The composition of the fragrance was very complex. It was divided into front, middle and back notes, and slowly changed, from spicy to mild: "What is this smell?"
Wen Shaoqian hung up each other's coats and called for maintenance, only to find out that she was uncomfortable: "Don't you like it? This fragrance is made in India, it can calm the nerves, and it is also good for insomnia."
After Ye Qiao got used to it, the throbbing pain ceased after a while, so she shook her head and said, "Are you also insomnia?"
He smiled lowly: "Doctors who don't suffer from insomnia will not reply to patients' consultation text messages in the middle of the night."
Ye Qiao thought about that night, if it wasn't for the fact that he had nowhere to tell, the two of them wouldn't have gotten to know each other.She has an instinctive resistance to strangers' attention, but he is very good at mastering people's psychology, probing little by little, slowly entering her world but controlling not to arouse her disgust.In fact, she could faintly feel his deliberation, but she couldn't use mistakes as an excuse to refuse.
She was slightly embarrassed, and said with a smile: "Let's forget about those 'consultations'. It's not working hours now, don't treat me as your patient."
Wen Shaoqian seemed quite interested in this: "What is that?"
"Friend." Ye Qiao replied seriously.
Her tone was very natural, but it was a pity that the skirt was too tight, and the tightness of the material when she spoke made her movements appear unnatural.
Wen Shaoqian glanced down, and said apologetically, "It seems that the dress I picked doesn't fit well."
Ye Qiao smiled and said, "It's just that the bust is a little tight. It's strange that you picked it so well."
Wen Shaoqian's eyes dimmed imperceptibly, and he looked over Ye Qiao's shoulder to check her zipper, and asked quietly, "Do you need to loosen it?"
Ye Qiao was surprised, but felt that this development was more reasonable.
She leaned over to touch the zipper under the armpit and said, "It's very troublesome to put on and take off."
"I'll help you." Wen Shaoqian didn't wait for her to finish, his palm had already covered her hand, he unbuttoned and unbuttoned his clothes very skillfully, his fingers just rubbed the skin on the back of her hand, holding her hand and zippered one by one Click to move down.Realizing that Ye Qiao didn't refuse, he narrowed his eyelashes and looked at her, then naturally bent down, and planted a tentative kiss on the hollow of her shoulder.
His lips were too cold, Ye Qiao couldn't help shivering, and wrapped his arms around his waist instead, and easily pushed him onto the bed with his neck crossed, and asked dangerously, "Is there anything?"
Wen Shaoqian hesitated for a moment, then said, "Yes."
Come prepared.
Ye Qiao sneered from the bottom of her heart, but grabbed his tie with her hand, and tore off the buttons of his shirt one by one, revealing her pale complexion.She acted fiercely and recklessly, and even tore off a few buttons of the haute couture shirt.After doing this, she grabbed the necklace that was in the way around her neck, quickly took off the two earrings, and casually threw the valuable sapphire jewelry aside.
Gemstones tumbled and jingled along the edge of the bed.
Wen Shaoqian's eyes lit up with desire, and he pressed her back, trying to cover hers with his lips.
But at the moment when his lips were about to touch, Ye Qiao suddenly pushed the person away, stood up suddenly, pointed at the jewels all over the floor and said with a cold smile: "I will return everything to you. If you need compensation for the clothes, you can send the card number to me at night." Give it to me." She neatly pulled up the zipper of the dress with one hand and said, "And this dress on me. I like it very much, thank you."
She picked up her handbag and went out quickly, and took a picture of the shoulder socket that Wen Shaoqian took advantage of just now from the round transparent glass of the cabin.The faint red hickey, she was wearing a tube top skirt, but she couldn't hide it.
Ye Qiao frowned, turned around and took a deep breath. Facing the empty and deserted deck, all he could see was dull and closed white, and there was nowhere to go for a while.
Don't even try to open the door of her room, it's hard to say it wasn't Wen Shaoqian's fault.As for the maintenance call, I don't know if he made the real call or fake it.
Ye Qiao leaned against the door of her own room, without the aggressive posture just now, instead she looked a little helpless.She pressed the lock button of the phone boredly, but there was no response. After using the iPhone all night, the battery had already run out.As for disembarkation, we have to wait until tomorrow morning, there are still at least six hours.
When she boarded this ship, she never thought that she would be in such a desperate situation.
Ye Qiao thought of a way, and was going to go out to find someone to call later, but she was too tired now, she was wearing ill-fitting high heels, sore and sore, she squatted down slowly against the door.
When people are extremely tired, they will have unrealistic fantasies.I hope that if I don't have to do anything, God will open a door for me.
The door did open.
It's the room opposite her.Ye Qiao felt a strange premonition when a pair of leather shoes stepped out of the room.She raised her head, and when she saw someone coming, she almost wanted to drag that stubborn God down to confront him.What kind of fate is this that can make him appear at the opposite door again?
Zhou Tingshen paused in front of her, with a hint of astonishment on his gloomy face.
Ye Qiao didn't speak, nor did he move away.
She raised her head, her neck was sore, she lowered it again, her chin rested leisurely on her bent knee, not knowing what expression to do.
In Zhou Tingshen's eyes, after a brief surprise, she just lowered her head and smiled, her attitude was so contemptuous that she just saw an insignificant passerby.He suppressed his anger and pursed his lips, and wanted to walk, but when he passed her, his pace involuntarily slowed down, vaguely expecting her to raise her head again, ask him for help, or cry to him, or even watch him leave... These thoughts are despicable and despicable , Zhou Ting mobilized his reason and forced himself to speed up.
Unexpectedly, Ye Qiao raised his head, and the voice seemed to appear in his dream: "Is there any smoke?"
Zhou Ting turned around deeply, Ye Qiao was quietly looking at his hands in his trouser pockets, and knew his habits like the back of his hand.
The fingers hidden in the pocket moved slightly, and finally held the cigarette case and threw it to her.Ye Qiao caught it, pulled out one, and looked up at him, the meaning in his eyes was clear at a glance.Zhou Tingshen simply walked back in front of her, knelt down on one knee, polished the lighter and lit it for her, and mocked with his eyes met: "Did you get kicked out?"
Just as Ye Qiao took a puff, he was so excited by these words that he coughed, and the smoke coughed across his face.She covered her mouth with her backhand, still coughing badly, as if all the gloom of the night had taken this opportunity to break out of her body, she coughed and laughed ironically.
She raised her head provocatively: "Like?"
Zhou Ting squatted down and was still a head taller than her, and he could see a shocking hickey under her neck, which was empty after removing the jewelry, like a smudged ambiguous flower.He turned his eyes away, pursed his lips and said nothing.
Ye Qiao held his face between his cigarettes and forced him to look at it: "It's not like I haven't seen it before, so why be ashamed?"
Zhou Tingshen was forced to face her, but he didn't move his gaze down an inch, staring closely at her eyes that couldn't distinguish his emotions.
Ye Qiao felt uncomfortably stared at, and tilted her neck slightly, presenting her collarbone in front of his eyes, deliberately smiling to hide her embarrassment: "Do you feel familiar? So you are not the only one who likes bones."
In the past, she thought that her wantonness was a matter of taste and charm, but now it seemed that it was all retribution.Zhou Ting couldn't restrain his anger at her frivolous appearance, and his voice was suppressed: "Ye Qiao, to you, am I the same as those people?"
Ye Qiao's smile froze.Her thoughts were all occupied by the sudden question, and she let her hand be pulled from her cheek by him, her eyes paused for a moment.
It is the same?
she does not know.But when facing Wen Shaoqian just now, Ye Qiao even thought for a few seconds, what's the difference, why not just follow his wishes.But her dislike for Wen Shaoqian still prevailed, she pretended to cater to her, but she actually did evil.Originally, she wanted to tease him for a longer time to let out a bad breath, but when he wanted to kiss her, she subconsciously pushed him away.
But now she is staring at the sharp-edged lips of the person in front of her, but there is a hint of urgency in her heart.She wanted to cross this short ten centimeters, cling to his lips and teeth, taste his warmth and ferocity, and snatch his strong breath when he was emotional.She wanted to see this pair of solemn and indifferent lips, slightly curved, smiling evilly and gently at her like countless times before.
Ye Qiao suddenly felt flustered, turned away to take a puff of cigarette, and said, "I don't know."
Zhou Tingshen stood up, her eyes couldn't see whether she was lonely or not, she even dared not look into those eyes, fearing that they were full of lonely disappointment.However, the next second, there was the sound of machinery running overhead, and the door Ye Qiao was leaning on led her to fall backwards.Zhou Ting subconsciously bent down to grab a handful, held her to prevent her from falling, and smiled contemptuously: "What do you know? The door on the boat has a latch, just pull it. Are you really so easy to deceive, or are you just pretending ?”
Ye Qiao was stunned, raised her head in disbelief, and said in a sad and ridiculous tone, "You suspect that I'm pretending to be stupid and throwing myself into someone's arms on purpose?"
The cigarette butt in her hand fell to the ground, and Zhou Ting rolled his throat with difficulty, so he could only focus on the scarlet flame.The oxygen in the air was consumed by the tobacco, Ye Qiao's heart was choked up, her breathing was difficult, she forced herself to stand up with the door frame, and looked up at him: "Since you all feel that way, what are you doing here?"
Zhou Ting had mixed feelings in his heart and wanted to explain, but was so excited by this sentence that he wanted to leave.While hesitating, she heard a familiar "hiss" between her teeth.
She always had a good time every time she had a cramp.
Ye Qiao didn't eat much at night, and she suffered from hypoglycemia when she stood up abruptly, and now she felt dizzy from the pain.
Zhou Tingshen held her by his arm almost without hesitation, but the moment of softness quickly faded away, because Ye Qiao let go of him slowly and backed into the room step by step.
Finally, he jumped behind the door and hit the ground with his heels. Ye Qiao's whole body went numb, but he didn't want to show weakness.She raised her head and found that he was watching "indifferently". Suddenly, resentment came from nowhere in her heart, and she tried her best to close the door and slammed the door he opened back on his face.
A few tenths of a millimeter from the tip of the nose was suddenly cut off by a door panel, Zhou Tingshen's dull eyes regained his sense of reality, and his reason was suddenly shaken back by the loud noise.
He quickly went to turn the lock, only to find that her vigilance had returned to normal at this moment, and he resolutely locked it.Zhou Ting slapped the door with both palms, and called her in a chaotic manner, "Ye Qiao, Ye Qiao, open the door."
The sound insulation on the boat was extremely poor, even the slightest footsteps could be heard, but there was no sound at all inside.Zhou Ting was deeply afraid that something would happen to her, and Ye Qiao in the room was shocked by the ferocity of knocking on the door.The manic depression in the heart and lungs was shocked and spread all over the body, her body was like a machine made of parts, and she had no doubt that she might be dismantled by him in the next moment.
Ye Qiao managed to overcome the pain of the muscle twitch, and kicked the door backwards.
With a "bang", the door finally stopped.
Her slow footsteps sounded from inside the door, Ye Qiao dug out the data cable from the suitcase, and switched on the phone.Zhou Ting finally stopped when he heard the cold notification that the phone was charging.The surging anger burns patience, and it seems that patience is about to be burned, but the anger is always extinguished at the last moment.
Looking up is a closed door.
This pursuit of beauty caused by excitement finally reaped a completely strange self.
Ye Qiao waited until the corridor was completely quiet, and then opened the door after a long time, only to find that there was no one there, only the cigarette butt that she had smoked and then extinguished, lay flat on the ground.She almost cursed in her heart.
After staying up in the middle of the night, she lay on her back on the narrow bed and listened to the sound of the sea water's creek. She couldn't fall asleep again, and she was hungry, scolding Zhou Tingshen back and forth.Although Wen Shaoqian was the one who made her become like this for some reason, he was the one who was scolded.But she had already put the name Wen Shaoqian behind her, and she wholeheartedly felt that Zhou Tingshen was stupid and ruthless.
Ye Qiao scolded him in his heart with gangster logic all night. In his dream, the sound of waves was deep and shallow, and his eyes floated vaguely, which disturbed people's mind.
When I went out again the next day, I saw these eyes again for the first time.
He was sitting in a corner of the restaurant on the ship, surrounded by the sea breeze blowing comfortably, and a beautiful woman who was as comfortable as the sea breeze.Ye Qiao passed by with a self-service tray, and heard the woman talking to him about the Dutch painting school and altars in a decent tone.
Ye Qiao couldn't help but snort.
Zhou Tingshen smoked all night in the bow of the boat last night, and finally went to have a peaceful breakfast as usual, but the taste of every food seemed to be unsettling.The person Liang Zirao introduced took the initiative to greet him, and he ate half the meal with him, but he didn't know which one she was in the email.
But at this time, I heard a contemptuous laugh.
Ye Qiao noticed his gaze, realized her gaffe just now, and said in an apologetic tone, "Morning."
Zhou Tingshen couldn't do it like she put on a peaceful face, and used a fork to stir the salad that his girlfriend helped him with a sullen face.
The well-spoken beauty looked around: "Do you know each other?"
Ye Qiao ignored it, and looked at his fork quietly, thoughtfully: "If I'm not mistaken, this plate seems to be thinly sliced raw beef mixed with vegetable salad? You are not picky eaters now, you don't only eat meat, Did you even eat raw meat?"
The silver fork was suddenly placed on the table.
The beauty was startled by him, she stood up and said, "Sorry, are you a vegetarian? I'll get you another plate."
She got up to leave, and Ye Qiao returned to court with the tray.
Zhou Ting couldn't help but take the plate from her hand.
Seeing that the plate of spaghetti was snatched away by him, Ye Qiao smiled well-mannered: "I need creamy mushroom noodles, I can ask your little beauty to help you get a plate. She should be very happy." She stretched out her hand to fetch it for herself. food.
Zhou Ting leaned on the dining table to face her, and raised the corner of his mouth mockingly: "What do you mean?"
Of course Ye Qiao knew how artificial he was sour. He slightly tilted his hand towards the pasta, took away his salad, and raised his eyelashes: "Do you think I'm frivolous? I'm a prodigal? Or something, pretending to be stupid." Stunned?" She paused for a moment, with a slight sullen tone in her tone, "How about it, am I pretending well, is it written all over my face?"
Zhou Ting couldn't hold back when she heard her bring up the old story again.He admitted the scene last night, but anyone with a little sense could see her distress and helplessness, it was nothing like just going to Wushan together with others.He frowned: "I didn't..."
"Okay." Ye Qiao's face fell, not wanting to hear him repeat the unpleasant things, and wanted to leave with the salad.
Zhou Ting pulled her deeply, and he thought he would never have the urge to say many things, but at this moment, he seemed to have a new life.He grasped it subconsciously, his eyes settled down: "Ye Qiao, let's have a good talk."
Ye Qiao calmed down and looked into his eyes deeply.Such outstanding and sharp eyes, slightly blue around the eyes, made him look haggard.Ye Qiao took a deep breath, quickly glanced at the woman approaching behind her, and said, "I want to sit down, but you seem to have your 'Netherlands Altar'. Come to me after you finish talking about this." Bar."
Zhou Ting was noncommittal, and Ye Qiao didn't wait.She seems to be intentional or unintentional, she always teases people when the vitality disappears, and then leaves.He watched her leave gracefully, and a new face sat in front of her.
The beauty put a serving of Pleurotus eryngii with sesame sauce in front of him: "This is the only one in the salad section. The taste is a bit strange. I don't know if you don't mind." She looked down and found that Zhou Ting was absent-minded. He had been dialing a number on his mobile phone and understood. Promptly, "Ye Qiao...is that the one just now?"
Zhou Ting was shocked when he heard Ye Qiao's name, he raised his head and said, "I'm sorry."
"You don't need to apologize." She smiled indifferently, "Sister Zi Rao told me about your 'past'."
Zhou Ting raised his eyebrows deeply: "In the past? You said her?" He shook Ye Qiao's name in the communication log.
"Isn't it?"
Zhou Ting lit a cigarette, exhaled with a smile, and said, "No." Thinking about it, he felt it was a pity, he was happy for her and worried for her, but she didn't even count his "past".The smoke was blown away by the sea breeze, "It hasn't passed yet."
The beauty pondered over the meaning of "not yet" and said carefully, "Did you quarrel?"
"No." Can't argue.
"cold war?"
"No." It should be, but she took the initiative to break the silence.
"Then why is it so weird?"
The lighter that Zhou Tingshen fiddled with suddenly stopped between his fingers, and the answer rolled down his throat twice before he could say it, but chuckled: "Because she's not interested in me."
"How could it be possible—" The woman on the opposite side sneered as if hearing an anecdote, "No woman would be jealous of a man who is not interested. She just did that, so sour..."
On the shore, when Ye Qiao got off the boat, her heart was still pounding when she suddenly received a bank transaction request on her mobile phone.She thought it was Wen Shaoqian, and when she opened it, she was startled.
Gu Jin really called her 100 million.Ye Qiao counted the zeros after that, and was so angry that he threw the phone into the water.
The dark blue sea water slowly engulfed her mobile phone, the SIM card failed, and before the screen was powered off, there seemed to be a new incoming call reminder, which flashed away.
Liang Zirao didn't see Wen Shaoqian or Ye Qiao at the second day's auction. When he went back, he found that Zhou Tingshen was also missing. He was so angry that he called him and said, "Didn't you say that you will be sent by me for a month?"
He said lightly: "One moment and another moment."
Liang Zirao was even angrier: "You have nothing to say, why don't you tell me! I asked you if you will come back?"
Zhou Tingshen said in the familiar rascal tone again, "I learned from others." Then he added lightly, "I won't come back."
He was driving on the national highway, only to find out how far Haicheng is from Lingcheng. What went into his head and drove here overnight?
The mobile phone placed on the dashboard again showed that it could not be connected, Zhou Ting frowned deeply, watching it automatically connect to the next call.
Countless forest leaves in Qingqiu retreated rapidly from his side, like a turquoise scroll.He couldn't wait to unfold this scroll to the end and stamp someone's seal at the end.
However, at this time, Ye Qiao was sitting in the waiting hall about to go to another city, using a borrowed mobile phone to report to Qianxi that she was safe.
Qianxi had been gossiping for several days, so of course she wanted to come to find out the final progress, and asked excitedly, "How is brother Shaoqian? Is he talented and gentle?"
"Yeah." Ye Qiao was perfunctory, eager to end the topic.
Ye Qiao only thought that she met someone unkind and didn't want to pursue it, but Qian Xi was still asking excitedly, so she could only interrupt impatiently: "Don't ask." In order to make this sentence more convincing , she raised her head and said with difficulty, "I have someone I like."
Qianxi yelled: "Isn't it? Cousin, you have moved on so quickly? I'm so sorry, brother Shaoqian..." She complained for a while, then felt that gossip was more important, and the matchmaker began to ask three times, "Who is it? Ah? How do you look? What do you do at home?"
There were too many questions, so Ye Qiao chose the last one to answer: "I don't know."
Qian Xi let out an "ah" and said, "Then what does he do?"
Ye Qiao thought for a while, and found that he only knew the general idea, and didn't really understand it, so he said truthfully, "I don't know."
Qian Xi felt that she was on the verge of collapse, and she ignited her last hope: "Then does he like you? You know this, right?"
Of course I liked it before.But after last night, both of them were a little disappointed in each other.Ye Qiao showed the only honesty he had, but he didn't know if he would understand, so he said, "I haven't asked yet." Although...he said it once before, but now and then.
Qianxi was holding the phone and was about to cry: "Cousin, didn't you really lie to me? I don't know if I didn't ask... A few days ago, my grandma asked me about your situation, and I also reasoned that it was because you had high eyesight and didn't want to look for you. , so it is so easy to get the heart of a goddess, I'm going to your Weibo to call on fans to protest!"
Ye Qiao's reply was still the same: "Go. I'm dead."
Qianxi begged her not to hang up the phone with a loud "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh') "The last question! There's only one!"
Ye Qiao said patiently, "Ask."
Qianxi created a mysterious atmosphere and made the matter serious, but in the end, only two words were asked - "Are you handsome?"
Ye Qiao snorted and said, "Probably."
Qianxi imitated the big demon king in the cartoon and laughed, filled with righteous indignation: "So, this is really a look! Face! World! World!"
Ye Qiao hung up the phone, called Shen Ting to confirm the upcoming itinerary, and then returned the phone to the owner who lent her.It was a college boy with handsome features, simple and clean clothes, and two shallow dimples when he smiled. When he took the phone back, he said to her, "Thank you."
She should be saying thank you.Ye Qiao smiled kindly at him, took out a small velvet box from his bag, and said, "The call was a domestic long-distance call, and it probably cost you a lot of phone bills. A small gift as compensation?"
The boy shyly refused: "No need. It's just a little effort."
There was a girl far away, carrying a bulging Never Full bag, calling "Shen Yi" and coming this way.
The boy hurried up to help her carry the bag and said, "Why did you come here?"
The girl panted and replied: "I brought too many things, and it took a lot of effort to check them in. Have you been waiting for a long time?" She tiptoed to help him adjust the woolen hat on his head in distress, but when she looked up, she He saw Ye Qiao behind him.
Ye Qiao actually recognized her a long time ago, and greeted her with a smile: "Zhao Mo."
Zhao Mo's face froze. Seeing Shen Yi's bag was placed next to Ye Qiao's position, he knew that the two of them were sitting next to each other by chance.Ye Qiao could easily read the worries in her eyes, and smoothed things over and said, "What a coincidence. Is this your boyfriend?"
Zhao Mo still smiled awkwardly, nodded and said, "Yes. He's one level younger than me, and he's still studying in film school." Then he introduced to her little boyfriend, "This is Senior Sister Ye Qiao... You entered school late, maybe I haven’t heard of it. Where are the figures of the previous sessions.”
Shen Yi said "Oh", and stretched out his hand happily, revealing two dimples: "Senior Sister, hello. Just now, I felt that Senior Sister looked familiar, but I didn't expect that she was an alumni."
Ye Qiao reached out and shook her hand lightly, and said, "Zhao Mo and I have just collaborated on a movie, and it is fate that we met here." She handed the gift box over again, "Since everyone knows each other, you can accept this." Go ahead and give it to your girlfriend."
Zhao Mo quickly declined: "How embarrassing..."
"He did me a favor just now. It's right to send you off." When Ye Qiao said this, Zhao Mo and her boyfriend looked at each other, and finally took the box.
When I opened it, I saw a pair of exquisite silver earrings.
Zhao Mo whispered to Shen Yi: "What did you do for Senior Sister?" Shen Yi was innocent: "Her cell phone seems to have been lost, so I borrowed it to call her. Senior Sister is very nice." Zhao Mo clicked Feeling that it was too unreasonable to take Ye Qiao's gift for this matter, she gave Ye Qiao an apologetic look.Ye Qiao shook his head lightly to express that he didn't need it.
Zhao Mo held his boyfriend's hand and whispered for a while, then turned around and chatted with Ye Qiao: "Sister Qiao, are you here to visit Haicheng?"
"No, I just came to participate in an auction." However, before the auction officially started, she changed the ticket to go back.
Ye Qiao sensed some sarcasm and said with a smile, "That's where you bought the pair of earrings in your hand."
Zhao Mo hurriedly wanted to return the gift box: "This is so embarrassing, it's too precious."
"You misunderstood." Ye Qiao smiled gently, "It wasn't auctioned, don't worry. Auctions of this level have products from affiliated companies on display. Ferra has a jewelry brand, and I bought ordinary ones there. The style was originally intended to be given to my cousin." But because of Qianxi's unintentional mistake, she was almost taken advantage of by Wen Shaoqian, and she changed her mind later, planning to hide her gift privately as a punishment, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now .
Zhao Mo said, "Then thank you sister Qiao", but what he thought was, isn't the spokesperson of Ferra's jewelry brand Cheng Jiang?Ye Qiao's heart was so wide-eyed, did he not know, or did he really not care?
She was thinking too much, Ye Qiao felt a little disgusted by others thinking about it in front of her, so she interrupted her thinking, "Why are you coming to Haicheng?"
Only then did Zhao Mo come back to his senses, his cheeks flushed slightly: "Shen Yi and I are both from Haicheng, this time we came back to meet our parents..."
Ye Qiao said, "It's pretty good." Finally, he added, "You've only been back for a few days and left. You've worked very hard."
Zhao Mo said ashamedly: "This time I went to Yangcheng to audition. Hengshan Films cast "Wonderless City", a new work directed by Wang Qingming. There are rumors on the Internet that Director Wang contacted your company, Senior Sister, and hoped that you would play the role of the twin girls." One of the Lords, is it true?"
Ye Qiao frowned. From her point of view, her role in "Wonderless City" was still a matter of ignorance, so she explained softly: "I just went to audition, and the final result is not yet finalized. You have also taken a lot of filming The movie is over, it should be very clear how it is written in the confidentiality clause."
Zhao Mo knew he was talking too much, but fortunately the boarding announcement sounded at the right time, ending the embarrassment.
After the two got off the plane, they ran to the same hotel and lived on the upper and lower floors.
The difference was that Ye Qiao's room was booked for her by the film crew. It was a VIP suite. Since Shen Ting was still on vacation and she had few things with her, Zhao Mo was asked to check in first.Zhao Mo secretly clenched his boyfriend's hand, reluctantly greeted Ye Qiao before taking a step into the elevator.She had a lot of luggage, and it was quite difficult to carry it into the elevator. Fortunately, Shen Yi helped her to get it safely.The moment the elevator door closed, Zhao Mo looked at Ye Qiao, who was at the counter in a light dress, and pressed his lower lip silently.
Shen Yi whispered in her ear the plan for these two days: "Tomorrow you go to the audition, and I'll go talk to the advertiser who asked me to be a model. After we're done, we'll go to Art Street for dinner. We'll be in Yangcheng in two days. Have a good time, okay?"
Zhao Mo didn't pay attention, and said, "Huh? What?"
Shen Yi was sullen: "What's going on with you today, you've been absent-minded since the airport..."
At night, Ye Qiao fell into another protracted insomnia.
In the city where she grew up, she had experienced the joys and sorrows of the previous 13 years, and all of them emerged at this time.In just 13 years, at the age of Children's Day, she felt that she had tasted life, old age, sickness and death, love and hatred, good and evil, good and evil.
The moonlight quietly fell, and through the gauze curtains of the hotel, Ye Qiao thought of the poem ignorantly, "When the riverside sees the moon at the beginning of the year, when the river moon shines on people at the beginning of the year."Only the moon, regardless of people's joys and sorrows, is gentle and ruthless every year.
Ye Qiao was so emotional that she swallowed the Valium before falling asleep.
The next day, she rushed to the audition scene and met Zhao Mo again.
The film and television base is in a corner of Yangcheng, and the air is much fresher than in the urban area.Ye Qiao took off her mask, went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and met Zhao Mo who was touching up her makeup.
The two just greeted each other lightly. Ye Qiao pressed the hand sanitizer and slowly cleaned up the foam between her fingers. Her fair face was reflected in the same mirror as Zhao Mo's, which was clearer and more natural than Zhao Mo's elaborate make-up.Zhao Mo suddenly put down the powder cake and said, "Yesterday...thank you."
Ye Qiao looked up: "Huh?"
Zhao Mo became cruel and said, "Shen Yi and I... are going to get married right away."
Ye Qiao recalled the name "Shen Yi", and those two soft dimples appeared in his mind, he smiled and said "Congratulations", and then did not continue.
She turned to leave, but Zhao Mo called to her again, trying to speak clearly in one go.However, she didn't know how to be "clear", how to forcibly smear something "clear" that was not clear in the first place.
Ye Qiao, on the other hand, looked at Zhao Mo's face turning green and then pale, and said clearly: "The important thing about many things is not whether others remember or not, and whether you will publicize it, but whether you give others a chance to remember and publicize it. Since everyone If you are rushing to get married, you should remind yourself of this in your heart. Don’t you know whether you should use many means or not, and whether you should touch many "opportunities"?"
She suddenly frowned and said, "I've seen your state when you were filming "Watchmen". I will accompany the wedding banquet."
That's all Ye Qiao said. She walked into the audition rest room to put her bag away, but happened to see Xu Yinshan inside.
I don't know if it's because the Encounter Road is narrow, but Xu Yinshan was supposed to be in the last audition, but besides the director and Hengying's leader, there was another seat vacant in the audition room.The film crew said it was because the investors were also involved in the casting, and the representative just arrived in Yangcheng this morning and was still stuck on the road, so she asked her to wait a moment.
If not, she and Ye Qiao wouldn't be able to face each other at all.
Xu Yinshan was furious, it was obvious that she was bullying her.The previous audition was for Pei Xindan, a popular female actress in mainland China. The manager didn't come at all, and left after a cutscene. It was obvious that the lead actor had already been filmed, and he was just looking at the camera effects to finalize the role.In recent years, Pei Xindan has produced high-quality and high-quality hit dramas every year, and theatrical movies have not fallen behind. The double-star actress is in the limelight, attracting more money than actresses like Cheng Jiang who focus on TV dramas.She joins "Wonderless City" as the main character.
After such a calculation, one of the two heroines has already been decided.Xu Yinshan played the second female role all the year round, and often encountered the fate of not being popular in dramas. She must win the heroine in this drama.
Ye Qiao passed her into the audition room, and shook hands with Director Wang and the others one by one.Director Wang Qingming has a close personal relationship with Director Lai, and this time Ye Qiao was recommended by Director Lai to have this opportunity.Wang Qingming said with a smile, "I hope you don't let me down." She was flattered and modestly said that she would do her best.
In the end, just as I was about to leave to prepare, I heard some newcomers discussing in the rest room.
"When I first came in, I met investors, and it was a level of unspoken rules."
"Is it such an exaggeration?"
"Go out and see for yourself... I think she looks a bit like Lu Qing. But Lu Qing has a flaw when she is old, and she can't look at it without makeup! This one looks so young, but she needs to be a bit colder."
When Ye Qiao opened the door and entered the room, Xu Yinshan was losing her temper with her assistant with an ugly face. When she saw Ye Qiao, she lifted her eyes, gave her a cold look, and laughed twice as if she was afraid that Ye Qiao might not notice.The meaning in that look is complicated, there is contempt and disdain, the subtext is obvious, as if to say - you are nothing more than that.
Ye Qiao knew that Xu Yinshan had used Cheng Jiang's contacts to get close to a well-known producer in the industry recently, and her arrogance was rising again, but she didn't know what happened to her recently to make her put on such a face .
There was a "ding dong" when the elevator arrived behind him, and Ye Qiao stopped the hand that pushed the door.Turning around, two receptionists appeared in the corridor surrounded by familiar figures.He has a loose posture, lowering his eyes and chatting with the people around him.Ye Qiao caught a glimpse of it from afar and finally understood the key.
She is wearing a pair of white leather boots today, and some white and slender knees are exposed under the skirt of the same color. Standing in the windless corridor in early autumn, she is so pure that people want to add color to her body.

Ye Qiao looked at it like this for a while, the corner of her mouth moved, and she turned back into the rest room with her usual expression.Before she could take a step, Zhou Ting grabbed her slender willow arm and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Didn't you come to audition? Did you go to the wrong room?"
