Chapter 222: The New Lord of the Tan Palace
Tan Palace is a well-known rich area in the western suburbs of the magic capital. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIn this complex of villas, you can find gorgeous Rococo, Baroque and Tuscan architecture. Among these buildings, several small buildings with red roofs and white walls are the most chic.
Surrounded by tall privet trees, this small building guards the secluded mansion like a guard. Every summer, the trees are full of white flowers, beautiful like a dream. Under the trees grow manicured bushes and cannas, which are swaying when they are not in bloom.
Walking along the fine stone road in front of the red and white building for ten minutes, you can see another ivory building. Unlike the red and white buildings, the ivory buildings have gray roofs and a much more concise overall style. If you look closely, you will see that the ivory building is not air-conditioned, and the windows of the rooms are open. Apparently, it is uninhabited.
Behind the ivory building there is a small half-open courtyard: some overgrown bushes form a half-height fence, which is not small, but people can barely walk through it. In the middle of the yard, there is an abandoned swing rack. Whenever a strong wind blows, the swing will "creak", and if you hear it in the middle of the night, it will be a little frightening.
This building is a little more eerie and monotonous than the other Tangong villas, but because of this, it has a unique charm. It's like a crowd of dressed women, and suddenly a woman with a vegetarian body and a copy of Borges's Poems in her hand suddenly appears.
It was a sunny but cold Tuesday morning, and Gao Xiangqi was resting at home. Towards the end of the semester, her classmates were nervously reviewing for the exams in a few days, but she was not feeling well and could only stay at home.
After breakfast, Gao Jin and You Jinlan went out to do their own things. Gao Jin left two bodyguards at home to accompany Gao Xiangqi, but she had no common language with these bodyguards. She was so bored that she put on a thick coat and a thick scarf and prepared to go out.
"Miss Xiangxiang, where are you going?" asked a bodyguard at the door with concern.
"I went to the 'whole family' to buy some yogurt. Gao Xiangqi said casually. Actually, she just wanted to go out and walk around.
"I'm going to buy it, it's very cold today. The bodyguard said earnestly.
Gao Xiangqi rolled her eyes, "I still have to buy sanitary napkins, can you also help me bring some by the way?"
The bodyguard was stunned for a few seconds before he reacted. "So, what brand do you want?"
Gao Xiangqi couldn't cry or laugh, "Forget it, I don't want you to buy it for me, I'll just walk around the yard." ”
"I'll go with you. Another bodyguard came over and said.
"No, I have my phone with me. You guys watch TV at home. Gao Xiangqi shook her phone, "I just want to be alone, don't annoy me." ”
The bodyguard saw that she looked uncertain, so he had to keep his mouth shut.
"I'm just walking in the yard. Gao Xiangqi walked to the door and said uneasily, "If I see you sneaking after me, I will ask my dad to fire you when I turn around!"
After walking around the courtyard of the villa a few times, Gao Xiangqi was sure that the two security guards would not come out to follow her, so she hurriedly walked out of the courtyard, then took out her mobile phone and dialed K1, "Hey, are you still sleeping? ”
"Who said I was sleeping?" said K1's voice with a smile. "You didn't go to school today?"
"My dad said let me rest for a few more days. Gao Xiangqi said sullenly, "But I'm really tired of staying at home, and I'm going to get hemorrhoids." ”
Her grinning tone made K1 laugh, "I never heard of hemorrhoids when you stay at home." ”
"Let's take an analogy. Gao Xiangqi said, "I'm coming to you, where are you going to meet?"
At this moment, she happened to walk near the ivory building.
A man in a silver-gray trench coat suddenly burst out from behind a tree in front of the small building and rushed in front of Gao Xiangqi, startling her.
The man's beard was cleanly shaven, and a pair of passionate black eyes sparkled. His open trench coat revealed a lined dark blue suit, and on his feet were a pair of shiny pointed-toe shoes. The only thing that didn't quite fit his outfit was his short-trimmed hair. This hairstyle, which is close to "Mao Cun", is about to be shaved on both sides, and at first glance, it looks like a bit of special forces.
"K1?" Gao Xiangqi was stunned. Although the person in front of her was the object of her longing, she was still taken aback by this elite outfit, not to mention that the other party appeared near her home without saying hello.
"Shhhh K1 made a silent gesture, "Follow me." ”
Gao Xiangqi put away her phone and followed K1 to the back of the ivory building in confusion.
"You're too adventurous. Although Gao Xiangqi was surprised and delighted, she still couldn't help but reproach, "If the owner comes back, I won't think you're a thief!"
"Apparently this building is unoccupied, right?" K1 shrugged his shoulders, "Didn't you notice?"
"Even if no one lives, the property will rush you, and the property in this community is still very responsible. Gao Xiangqi pursed her mouth.
"And what if I buy this building?" said K1 helped Gao Xiang pull her scarf and cover her chin.
"Your joke isn't funny at all. Gao Xiangqi glared at K1 and said.
"Listen to me. K1 smiled, "I know you're very strict at home, you don't go out easily, and I can't come to see you like a thief every time." You tell me that you can get rid of the bodyguards, but you can't chase them away every time, or lie to them, if you continue like this, you will be found out by your dad sooner or later!"
"I don't care. Gao Xiangqi sat down on the swing rack, "If you find it, you will find it." ”
"Your dad doesn't like me, you know, why bother with him on purpose?" K1 said bitterly, "I can easily take down the bodyguards next to you, but I don't want to." I'm sincerely friends with you, and I don't want to deliberately embarrass and make your dad angry. He paused, "So, I'm wearing clothes that are appropriate for this environment today, in a reasonable capacity." ”
Gao Xiangqi looked at him in surprise, "Are you kidding me?"
"I didn't. K1 said seriously, "I have asked Hou Ye for instructions, the housing prices here will not fall, and there is still room for appreciation! Plus Hou Ye also wants to buy a house in the western suburbs, so this house already belongs to Hou Ye! Now I am standing on Hou Ye's territory." I have already persuaded Master Hou to let me stay here temporarily, only 10 minutes away from you!
Gao Xiangqi opened her mouth wide, "Master Hou bought this house?"
"Yes. K1 said happily, "Although the others are still in Europe, this matter has been settled." Now that Master Hou has entrusted me to renovate this house, I have the right to walk around you, reasonable and legal!"
Gao Xiangqi chuckled, "No wonder you want to shave your beard and dress like this." She said with a little disgust, "You still deliberately keep it secret, which scares me!"
K1 grinned, "Doesn't I look good in this dress?"
"Not bad. Gao Xiangqi tilted her head and looked at it for a few seconds, "However, I still like you to dress casually, you look too much like an uncle." ”
"Wow, you say I'm old. K1 pretended to be bitter, "I have pain here." He pointed to his heart, "Baby hurts here." ”
"Gross. Gao Xiangqi made a look like she was about to vomit, "You are really not suitable for coquettishness." That being said, she smiled with a crooked eyebrow, obviously sweet.
K1 walked to her side and gently pushed the swing. He looked at the rickety swing frame and said slowly, "I really hope you will always be happy like this." ”
Gao Xiangqi was happy, "What are you doing, this is the rhythm of confession?"
K1 shook his head, "I just love seeing you laugh." When I see you smiling, I feel happy, the kind of happiness that I can't get in exchange for winning the lottery. ”
Gao Xiangqi pursed her lips, "This confession is not touching at all. ”
K1 laughed and decided to change the subject. "Xiangxiang, I suddenly remembered a joke, can I tell you?"
"You say. ”
"Something funny happened yesterday. Yesterday, Mr. Yue and me, as well as T3, Jiang Ruli, oh, he is Hou Ye's doctor. The four of us went to one place together to run errands. After we were done, we went to a nearby bar for a few drinks. Then there were a few guys who had drunk too much, and they came up and wanted to soak in the moon. ”
Gao Xiangqi looked at the sky in the distance, "Maybe it's love at first sight, don't be so cheesy." ”
"Well, it was probably love at first sight. The question is, we are all on the scene, how can anyone be allowed to pursue Hou Ye's woman?"
"So, you're fighting?" asked Gao Xiangqi curiously.
"It's not. K1 laughed and said, "Manager Moon is such a funny woman, she asked for a few tequila-shots. Well, it's a way to drink tequila, which is more ...... Stimulate. It is the drinker who smears salt on his tiger's mouth, and then drinks a shot of tequila in one sitting, and then eats a slice of lemon. This way of drinking is hot and spicy. ”
"Mr. Moon did it on purpose, right?"
She didn't just drink alcohol, she also asked the person who finished drinking to say a word of confession to her. She wore a cheongsam, sat on a high stool with a smile, and said that with her smile as the theme, she would go with whoever could move her with his confession. K1 said, already laughing.
"You can't do it, tell a joke and laugh first. Gao Xiangqi glanced at him, "Let's talk about it after laughing." ”
"Good. K1 gently pushed the swing again, "The first person came up and said, beauty, when you smile, the flowers of the whole world are blooming." ”
"Vulgar. Gao Xiangqi said.
The second man said, "When you smile, the lights on the road come on." ”
"Not very well. ”
"The third man said, "When you laugh, I forget what I'm going to say." ”
"There's a little bit of an interest in this. ”
"The key is the fourth person, Jiang Ruli. K1 recalled Jiang Ruli's expression, and still felt a little funny, "I don't know why he participated." ”
"Probably a childcare. Gao Xiangqi said matter-of-factly, "As long as the Moon Manager chooses him, won't he be able to send those suitors away." ”
"yes, you're smart. K1 said with a smile, "However, Jiang Ruli is too funny." ”
"What did he say?"
He said, "When you laugh, I'll be cowardly." ”
Gao Xiangqi was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, "Is that what I understand?"
"It's just soft, bowing your head, and being obedient, almost. K1 said, "I just didn't expect that Jiang Ruli, who has studied in the UK for a few years, is a top student at all, and would use such a ...... way to confess. ”
"I guess it's him who Mr. Yue chooses, right?" Gao Xiangqi shook his head, "This person is quite interesting." ”
"Hmm. Later, I privately asked the manager of the moon which person's confession could move her the most, and she said it was Jiang Ruli. K1 said with emotion, "I just learned that women's ideas are really far from men's. This kind of vernacular confession doesn't sound romantic at all. But don't all women like romance?"
Gao Xiangqi shook his head, "Frank honesty, with a little humor, is the real romance, and it works better than any gorgeous words." She stared at K1 with those sparkling eyes, who looked away in embarrassment.
"Do you think I'm still a little girl, and I'm sick, so I don't dare to fall in love with me?" Gao Xiangqi stopped the swing.
K1 was startled, and he said in embarrassment, "Don't be cranky......"
"I'm sober. Gao Xiangqi interrupted him. Her eyes were clear and her expression was firm, "I like you, K1, it's not the kind of little girl who likes her big brother, it's a woman's love for a man, it's a love that covers her soul and body, and a love that wants to hold hands and spend her life together." She blinked, "If you want to put it more explicitly, it's not just love, it's love." ”
K1 staggered back two steps, he wanted to say something, but he couldn't open his mouth anyway. His mind went blank, and he mechanically pulled out his cigarette case and lit a cigarette.
It was the first time he had smoked in front of Gao Xiangqi, who looked at it with a little surprise, but said nothing.
"You're young, and there are some things that you'll find funny when you think about it later. K1 finally stammered, "I take care of you as a sister, and I really want to be your friend." ”
"You lie!" Gao Xiangqi ruthlessly debunked K1, "We are not related by blood, where did the brother-sister friendship come from? Don't tell me that you are so fraternal and will treat a woman who has nothing to do with you as your own sister!" Moreover, you promised me that you would not lie to me!" When the last sentence was spoken, Gao Xiangqi was already crying, "I have been hinting at you, making you clear, giving you opportunities, making jokes about you, just waiting for you to speak first, why are you so unenlightened!" Or is everything self-inflicted, when you are pretending to be nice to me, but in your heart you are laughing at my childishness?"
"How can you think that?" said K1 sadly, "From the moment we realized that everything I have done now, you can see it! If you are in danger now, I will not hesitate to block bullets for you! As long as you are healthy and happy, as long as you can be well, I can do anything! Only in this way can I feel at ease." ”
"Why am I good, you can rest assured?" Gao Xiangqi asked step by step.
"You don't understand. K1 looked at Gao Xiangqi sadly, "I can't love you." ”
