Awakening Secret

Chapter 3 Everyone Has a Secret
Li Luo knew that Xie Yuning was having a blind date tonight, and he heard it from Shang Yan.

Shang Yan's mother is Xie Yuning's older sister.As an outsider, Li Luo could imagine how much a good sister would worry about her little brother's lifelong affairs.

Shang Yan didn't mean to talk about his uncle's personal affairs, he just mentioned a few words when Li Luo was curious, and then added an explanation: "My uncle is too good, so he is more picky."

Xie Yuning, who is "too excellent", "always excellent" and "excellent every day", of course knows that he was betrayed by his nephew, but as an elder, he will not care about the children, is he bored?

In Xie Yunning's eyes, besides Shang Yan, there is also Li Luo.

Tonight, the blind date banquet that Xie Yuning went to was the kind of blind date banquet arranged by the two families.The difference is that the person who hooked up this time was his brother-in-law, Shang Yu.

Xie Yuning only has one older sister, and naturally only one brother-in-law.However, the relationship between him and his only brother-in-law is not very close.Xie Yuning was only eight years old when her sister married Shang Yu.Xie Yuning has a good memory, but he remembers very little about trivial life events.In his vague memory when he was young, he only remembered that his sister had no hesitation in marrying this man.As the daughter of the Xie family, she could have chosen a better man, but Shang Yu became her sister's only choice.

In the end, she married happily.

What kind of man is a man who can make a woman turn back without hesitation?The age difference between Xie Yuning and Shang Yu caused him to be unable to evaluate Shang Yu from a man's perspective for a long time, and then he could look at Shang Yu with a man's eyes.He lost interest again.It is nothing more than a businessman. If you want to add an attributive in front of a businessman, the word "success" can already contain a lot of content.Everything else, nothing more than that.

The hotel's elegant crystal wall lights are light and bright, and Xie Yunning appears gracefully outside the box door.He has been on a lot of blind dates, and he is used to this kind of dinner tonight. Standing by the carved door, he leisurely glanced at the big box inside.

Shang Yu was sitting in the main seat, wearing a suit, his coat was hanging on a solid wooden hanger in the corner of the box, he was wearing a famous watch on his wrist, and he was talking with the person opposite with his hands together; seeing him coming in, he looked up.

Shang Yu is 18 years older than Xie Yuning, and is 49 this year.However, Time is very tolerant towards this man, with a stern face, deep eyebrows and eyes, and an unfathomable posture.In addition, with proper maintenance and smooth career, this man's charm will only increase with age.

Xie Yuning walked over, his sister was sitting next to Shang Yu, virtuous and gentle as always.The elder sister smiled and introduced him to the person who came today, and then asked him to sit in the empty seat next to Shang Yu.

Xie Yuning did not refuse.Whenever his sister was present, he would still call Shang Yu brother-in-law; for example, at this moment, Xie Yuning sat down next to Shang Yu, and did not forget to thank him politely: "Thank you for your trouble, brother-in-law."

There is no doubt that Xie Yuning's blind date tonight turned out to be...failed again.

The night wind was gentle.Xie Yuning leaned against the car body and waited for the substitute driver, while his sister and brother-in-law Shang Yu arranged for the woman's people to go back on the other side.The substitute driver hasn't come yet, Xie Yuning is a little bored waiting.

He doesn't smoke, so he took out his pocket and took out a candy... I don't know when he put it in his pocket?

Oh, I remembered.At noon today, Li Luo took a bag of candy and distributed it to him like a fruit. He didn't bother to refuse, so he picked one directly.

Xie Yuning opened the pink candy wrapper, and inside was a mint sandwich candy.If there was one candy he could accept, it was mints.Others, he finds them too sweet.

Xie Yuning put this mint candy into his mouth, and Shang Yu walked towards him not far away, and asked him: "Your sister asked you, do you want to go back with us first?"

Xie Yuning refused: "No, the driver will come later."

Shang Yu gave up, without forcing it, and said an extra ordinary sentence: "Have you been busy recently?"

"not busy."

"Everyone in the family is very concerned about your marriage, especially your sister. I do this today, and I hope you can understand."

"understand."

"Your sister will be very happy to have a meal at home some time."

Xie Yuning was no longer in the mood to chat anymore, so she raised her eyelids.But as a father, Shang Yu still wanted to say a polite word to Xie Yuning: "Shangyan is with you, thank you for taking care of me."

"No, you're welcome." Xie Yuning looked at Shang Yu, "I'm Uncle Shang Yan, and I should take care of him."

Shang Yu said no more.There are some things that Xie Yunning doesn't point out, let alone point out on his own initiative.In the past 20 years, he has handled his relationship with Xie's family well, but he has not handled his relationship with Xie Yuning well.

Xie Yuning laughed, and with a mint in his mouth, he passed Shang Yu and got into his car.

The weather is getting colder and the night is getting longer.

Li Luo was lying in a remote chair shaped like a bird's nest, holding a notebook and clicking upload, updating a new article on skin care ingredients.As soon as the article was updated, a group of netizens immediately rushed to comment and like it.Picking out a comment, she replied: "Thank you for your support."

The articles Li Luo writes every week are similar to comparing which ingredients are better between brand A and brand B, analyzing whether there are false advertisements in some big-name skin care products in the market, and then popularizing some dry knowledge.For example, the ingredients sodium lauryl sulfate and alkyl phosphate are both used as surfactants, which skin is more suitable.

Girls all pay attention to skin care, and she is quite attentive in science popularization, so she quickly gained a lot of attention and some support.

Of course, the key point is her inadvertent exposure to wealth.In this world, most people look down on those who show off their wealth.They are full of curiosity and concern about the world of wealth.

Fame and fortune attract not only the chasers; they also attract the onlookers.

The next day, Li Luo brought Shang Yan a set of skin care products.The skin care products are not for Shang Yan, but for Shang Yan to bring to Lin Jiaqi.The last time she went shopping with Lin Jiaqi, Lin Jiaqi knew that she was using customized skin care products, so she expressed some curiosity.

So today, Li Luoquan regards it as a personal favor.

Shang Yan accepted this set of skin care products for Lin Jiaqi, stood beside the bookshelf in the office area, and said hesitantly: "I'm a little strange..."

Li Luo: "What's so strange?"

Shang Yan didn't speak for a moment.Li Luo probably guessed what was strange about Shang Yan.She turned her gaze around pretending not to understand, and unexpectedly found that there was a little thing eavesdropping on the window sill, which was the tit she saw last time.Titmouse raised her head, as if recognizing her, and greeted her twice.

What a cool little thing.Li Luo couldn't hold back, and curled his mouth.

Shang Yan finally asked, "Li Luo, how did you and Jiaqi become friends?"

Sure enough, this is the problem.Li Luo turned his head with a smile, and asked with a relaxed face, "Can't you...does your boyfriend still have an opinion?"

The moment of business talk: "..."

Li Luo's reaction really made Shang Yan look dry, as if Li Luo called her boyfriend.

Li Luo looked helpless, and said slowly, "Jiaqi and I became friends... Isn't it because of you?"

"...Me?" Shang Yan looked unnatural, and his face turned slightly red again, "Why?"

Li Luo: "Isn't it because of you that Jiaqi and I met?"

Gently and skillfully, she went back in circles.

"Oh, oh..." Shang Yan responded twice, and also joked, "So, I can be regarded as a bridge for your previous friendship?"

"Yes."

The atmosphere was a little dry and awkward.

"...I don't know what experiment we are doing today?" Shang Yan licked his teeth, intending to change the subject, and then the door of the elevator opposite opened first. "What are you two doing together like this, are you confessing your love?" A non-salty sentence floated out directly amidst taunts.

Xie Yuning walked out of the elevator.Shang Yan's face turned red instantly.

Li Luo turned his head, pretending to be a ghost!

In the evening, Shang Yan and Xie Yuning played tennis together.After a hearty match, Shang Yan was sweating profusely; Xie Yuning's handsome face was also flushed with heat, and he looked much more friendly than usual.

"Little uncle, I found that your physical fitness is getting better and better recently." Shang Yan bent down and patted his thigh, raised his head, his narrow eyes flashed with a smile, "Could it be that you practiced secretly like my dad?"

Xie Yuning snorted, who is like that old man Shang Yu.

Probably because he is getting older. In the past two years, Shang Yu has been very diligent in exercising. He used to prefer sports like golf, but now he prefers sports that are more prone to sweating. He can play two rounds with his son every week.

Then it became a business dialect, secretly practiced.

Xie Yuning sat in the first row of the tennis court, took the mineral water bought by Shang Yan from running errands, unscrewed the bottle cap and said, "Tell me, are you planning to move on?"

Xie Yuning has always spoken directly, and he is used to business language.He sat down next to Xie Yuning, the exhilaration brought by the exercise made him no longer uncomfortable during the day, he smiled and said: "Little uncle, do you want to give me emotional counseling?"

Xie Yuning smiled, and tilted her head, "Do you think I look like me?"

Shang Yan also said directly: "No, your love experience is not as rich as mine."

Xie Yuning hummed softly, too lazy to answer.

Shang Yan drank the water, then heaved a long sigh, and said seriously: "Actually, I don't know what I think, but I feel that Li Luo is very novel to me. Maybe I often stay with her recently. Last night Sleeping is all about her." After a pause, Shang Yan asked Xie Yuning hesitantly, "Little uncle, do you think I am being playful like this?"

"Don't bother." Xie Yuning said, answering quickly.

"Really?" Shang Yan's eyes lit up.

Xie Yuning: "You are stupid."

Shang Yan almost spit out a mouthful of water, and then looked at Xie Yuning aggrieved.

Xie Yuning eased her tone: "It's normal for people to be attracted by beautiful things, but you must have self-judgment. Now you just see a beautiful girl who is suddenly fascinated... Don't think too much, emotional troubles are basically thinking from."

"Hey." Shang Yan smiled twice, "Little uncle, you seem to really understand when you speak so seriously."

What does it seem like you understand?Xie Yuning said: "It's just human nature."

Shang Yan was suddenly curious about a question: "Little uncle, are you also attracted by beautiful girls? You know what I mean."

Xie Yuning narrowed her eyes.

Shangyan: "Don't lie to children."

"Yes." Xie Yuning turned her head and answered concisely.As an adult, would he still be afraid to tell the truth in front of his children?

Shang Yan was already fussy and exclaimed: "... who is it?"

Xie Yuning got up, and said to Shangshangyan's curious eyes: "Next time you beat me, I'll tell you."

Ah——Shang Yan felt that he had been deceived again!It's not impossible for him to beat Xie Yuning, but as a man who has participated in international tennis tournaments and won awards, he really doesn't mean to bully children by throwing this sentence?
Shang Yan jumped up and followed Xie Yuning's footsteps. The height of 1.7 meters [-] was still a few centimeters short of my uncle, which did not affect Shang Yan's hook on Xie Yuning's shoulder, and asked with a grin: "Little uncle, just tell me, what do you think?" Who is more beautiful, Jiaqi or Li Luo?"

Why are you Li Luo again?

He was just curious about Li Luo's impression in the eyes of his little uncle... Shang Yan didn't think too much about it, and didn't ask any more questions, and at the same time expressed his heart and said: "Little uncle, I never planned to transfer my love to someone else. Really , I have been in love with Jiaqi for more than ten years, and no one can replace it."

Shang Yan said it firmly, but Xie Yuning did not express his opinion.As an elder, he is not good at interfering with the younger generation's choices, even though the Lin family's parents are a pair of masters who eat meat but don't spit out their bones.Not to mention the issue of feelings, who can predict the future direction.People's hearts and roads are long.

"You should tell Lin Jiaqi about this." Xie Yuning nodded, "Otherwise, why do you think Lin Jiaqi has been going to the Institute of Biochemistry recently?"

Business words: "..."

Young couple problems come and go quickly.Just like a small bridge of friendship between girls, it collapses as soon as it is said.

Friday night, the NB group meets. NB is the abbreviation of Xie Yunning's group name.

The meeting place was at a guild hall by the Huaijiang River in Tianlan District.There are many private villas over there converted into high-end clubs with dinner and entertainment.If there is no additional requirement for group gatherings, family members can be brought.Several researchers were planning to bring their wives or girlfriends; Shang Yan also brought his girlfriend Lin Jiaqi to participate.

On Friday afternoon, Lin Jiaqi came to find Shang Yan ahead of time, and sat in Shang Yan's seat opposite Li Luo; she was dressed very fresh and beautiful.

After the task was over in the afternoon, Zhou Bei drove a Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle and set off.The car is a private business car in the NB group.

Qinghuai Biochemical Cell Institute, the NB team is undoubtedly the most powerful and richest, Li Luo jokingly asked Xie Yuning if he was rich and put money in it willfully.Zhou Bei told her that it is true that the team leader has a lot of money but he is not stupid. The Qinghuai Institute of Biochemistry can work outside the home. Xie Yuning will accept several lucrative projects for everyone every year.

Naturally, everyone's year-end bonuses will be generous.

After Li Luo listened to it, he felt that he could use "extremely honored" to describe his mood.

In the Mercedes-Benz business car, Lin Jiaqi curiously asked the meaning of the group name abbreviation NB: "...does it mean very powerful?"

Zhou Bei smiled and said, "Yes, we are amazing."

Lin Jiaqi pursed her lips, obviously feeling that the name was too vulgar and straightforward.

Xie Yuning didn't drive, he was sitting in the co-pilot, when he heard Lin Jiaqi's words, he changed the direction and leaned against his head, without speaking.Shang Yan sat next to his girlfriend Lin Jiaqi, and told Lin Jiaqi, "NB, newborn, means new cells."

"Oh, that's what it means." Lin Jiaqi said to Xie Yuning in front, "I'm sorry, Brother Xie, I misunderstood."

Xie Yuning was still resting with her eyes closed, and after a while, she answered Lin Jiaqi: "It's okay, the name is just a code name."

Lin Jiaqi twitched the corner of her mouth.

Li Luo smiled inwardly.As an observer, I feel that Lin Jiaqi cannot be blamed for the abbreviation of NB.It can only be blamed on the taste of the person who named it in the first place.

The front co-pilot suddenly heard an elegant "Ache".Xie Yuning sneezed.

"..."

Li Luo continued to lazily lean on the back of the comfortable car seat. She was sitting in the last seat of the commercial vehicle. Since getting in the car, she has been playing a game called "Snake Fight" on her mobile phone.Whether she used to play the old single player or is now playing in groups, she is a proud player of this game.

Eating small snakes quickly, her beautiful snake became longer and more enchanting.It almost dominates the greedy snake world.Suddenly, an old snake king longer than her appeared in front of her and surrounded her. Li Luo pressed the accelerator button for a long time, intending to wag his tail with a dragon.The business car stopped, and her "thousand-year white snake" was still eaten by an accident... Her day!
When the guild hall arrived, everyone got off the bus one after another.

Many villas in Tianlan Huaijiang Generation were converted into this kind of commercial halls.These villas have been in existence for more than 40 years, their appearance imitates European architectural style, and the exterior walls have basically been repaired.The villa in front of me was originally owned by a couple surnamed Lin. After the couple passed away unexpectedly, they were auctioned off to the bank by Miss Lin's family. After that, they went around and sold it to several people. Now it has directly become a guild hall.

Li Luo stood outside, looking up, she seemed to have almost forgotten her original appearance.

Tonight's gathering in the guild hall has many programs, all arranged by researcher Zhou Bei.

Of course, Xie Yuning is really not interested in tonight's party, and he can't enjoy it, probably because of the addition of three little kids.Especially Li Luo, since entering the hall, she has been following behind him, causing Xie Yuning to have the illusion that she brought her child into the hall.

In fact, Li Luo also felt helpless, Xie Yuning was her direct teacher, who would she follow if she didn't follow her master tonight.The senior brother in the same school has a girlfriend, so it is not easy for her to squeeze in and have a threesome; the other researcher seniors are always separated by a layer of relationship, so how can they not be close to the master!

Xie Yuning was casual and let Li Luo follow her.

To be honest, Li Luo is also quite boring and has no sense of participation in today's gathering.Probably the games they are playing now are leftovers from her previous ones.

Zhou Bei thought of an idea, and asked Shang Yan with an amiable smile, "What games do you young people play now, and you also recommend us old people." Zhou Bei and Xie Yuning were about the same age, and this old man directly dragged Xie Yuning into the water.Xie Yuning put down the wine glass and leaned on the sofa.

"Yes, yes."

"Yes."

"Hurry up, the call is fresh."

Quite a few "old people" agreed with Zhou Bei's proposal; Xie Yuning was not included.

As a young man in Zhou Beikou, Shang Yan said: "I think these games should be because girls have more ideas." After speaking, he looked at Li Luo and his girlfriend, Lin Jiaqi.

This boy Shang Yan is quite good at throwing hydrangea balls.Li Luo smiled, and said the truth helplessly: "Although I am young, I am actually...an old antique, I really don't understand these things."

How could a girl describe herself as old-fashioned, everyone laughed.Xie Yuning also laughed, but it was just a smirk: What old antique, old antique is driving around in a Maserati sports car?
Finally, the new game is a small test proposed by Lin Jiaqi, a game that has become very popular in Landa recently.Li Luo thought that this game was a derivative of the previous "Truth or Dare", but it was played more implicitly.The game is similar to how everyone writes small notes, specially writing questions that cannot be asked face to face, and then drawn by Party B in the game, and the person who is drawn to answer is Party A.

The game is a bit boring, but no one objects, and they are too lazy to think about new games.

Zhou Bei went up to collect the written notes one by one.Xie Yuning didn't write a note, but if someone asks him, he still needs to answer.Li Luo also handed in the folded paper, and suddenly changed from bored to full of anticipation.how to say.The design of this game is quite in line with human nature.

Well, the game starts, and it is still Party B who turns the compass and decides to ask questions.

first round:
"Zhou Bei, have you slept with Mr. Du?"

"Shangshangshang...shangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshang上shangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshangshang】should we be boyfriend and girlfriend now, okay, we are boyfriend and girlfriend with normal bodies, okay, so what do you think?"

"Zhou Bei, I killed you and slandered my reputation." Teacher Xiao Du became irritable.

second round:
"Luo Yijun, it is said that your wife only gives you 500 yuan a month, is it true?"

"Fake, 500 yuan is not enough for me to drink water... In fact, I drink water almost every month."

I have to say that the atmosphere in Xie Yuning's group is very good.But, why hasn't anyone gotten the note she wrote?Li Luo pretended to flip her short hair casually, and then saw that the needle of the compass was aimed at her.

so coincidental?
Under everyone's attention, Li Luo smiled and took out a note; slowly, he opened it.

...Why did she draw a question note written by herself!

Li Luo looked at the familiar note, touched his nose, and then looked at Xie Yuning.Obviously, the Party A being questioned in the note is Xie Yuning.Everyone looked at Xie Yuning together, wondering who was so courageous.This kind of young game, no matter what they ask, their team leader can guess who asked the question.

Yes, who is so courageous.Xie Yuning also looked at Li Luo, waiting for a question.

Li Luo suddenly put away the small note: "Forget it."

What?The gossip heart was disappointed.

Li Luo said, "I can't ask the professor this question, it's too impolite."

... It can't be said that it is still appetizing!
"It's okay." The party said.Xie Yuning sat on the single sofa seat, leaned slightly towards Li Luo who was next to him, and said word by word: "You just ask according to the content of the small note, and you don't need to miss a word."

"Oh..." Li Luo lowered his head and agreed, "Okay."
