Chapter 198: Great Wisdom and Foolishness
On January 6, Xiaohan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
You Jinlan looked at the open closet and was stunned. Although the wardrobe was made of fine walnut wood and small packets of activated charcoal were placed in the corners, she smelled a faint damp musty smell. The smell reminded her of the humble home she hadn't been home to in a long time, and the clothes hanging out of her neighbor's window that seemed to never dry out.
You Jinlan loves cleanliness very much, and her first reaction is to take out all these clothes and then sort and clean them. But as soon as she took out two pieces of clothing, she stopped.
Because, now, she doesn't have to worry about moldy clothes anymore.
Gao Jin was very generous to her, although she didn't take the initiative to ask Gao Jin for money, Gao Jin still gave her a supplementary card, and she could spend it as she pleased.
Thinking of this, You Jinlan felt that her chest was stuffy, as if she was about to lose her breath. She didn't want to spend Gao Jin's money indiscriminately, but when she swiped the card, she had a faint pleasure: she took a small revenge on Gao Jin by spending Gao Jin's money. What's more, this revenge can also get her a cashmere coat, Jimmy-Choo's high heels, a limited-edition lipstick, and the envious gaze of passers-by.
Outside the window, a thunderclap suddenly flashed.
You Jinlan was startled, she walked to the window and opened the curtain.
Outside the window, the clouds were so thick and foggy that I could barely see the buildings on the opposite street. The heavy water vapor is like an illusory phantom, fluttering, and finally creating a misty dream. She could only faintly see cars flashing on the street through the gap in the fog and clouds.
Somehow, You Jinlan suddenly remembered the art history she had memorized, which mentioned an artistic conception preferred by contemporary Chinese painters: apricot blossoms, spring rain, and Jiangnan. It seems that these six words alone can outline the nostalgia of countless overseas travelers, as well as the complicated feelings of wandering in a foreign land - I want to talk about it.
You Jinlan couldn't help but sneer. She grew up on Chongming Island since she was a child, and she didn't have any feelings about these rainy hatreds and clouds, but felt that the rainy magic capital was annoying. But even so, she still forced herself to memorize those words that she did not agree with, because Dai Tian repeatedly told her: Be sure to memorize some theories in case you need them.
In fact, Gao Jin did often talk to her about art, and although Gao Jin was a layman, he showed great interest in art. Whenever this happens, You Jinlan will always secretly congratulate herself on memorizing those "useless" text theories.
It's raining. The monstrous torrential rain was like the sudden anger of You Jinlan, and it slammed on the glass window majestically and forcefully, playing a copper pipa song that went east of the river.
You Jinlan has been living in Gao Jin's house for almost four months, but she hasn't found anything special except for the attic, let alone the things in the attic have nothing to do with Ye Yingjun. She thought more than once that she stole Gao Jin's key to open the drawer of the desk in the study while he was asleep, but she didn't have the courage to take the risk, so she had to watch the time pass day by day.
You Jinlan checked the windowsill and made sure that the window was tightly closed, and then left the bedroom.
She walked absentmindedly and unconsciously came to the third floor.
The door of the attic was closed as usual, and You Jinlan looked at it blankly for a while, and subconsciously pressed "0430" on the combination lock.
A piercing "beep" error sound sounded, and You Jinlan was so frightened that she took two steps back.
She blinked in confusion, and for a moment she couldn't determine whether she had made a mistake or Gao Jin had changed the password. She trembled and pressed the four numbers 0, 4, 3, and 0, only to hear an error again.
You Jinlan trembled all over.
She hurried back to her bedroom, shuddered, flipped out her phone, and sent an email to Dai Tian. "He changed the password to the attic, did he find me?"
After sending it, she emptied her outbox, then held her phone and sat anxiously in her chair waiting for Dai Tian's reply.
A few minutes later, the mobile phone rang, and You Jinlan looked at the screen and was immediately nervous.
Dai Tian didn't reply to her email, but Gao Jin called.
You Jinlan held her mobile phone like she was holding a red-hot soldering iron, and she couldn't wait to throw it away. But she knew that the call could not be left unanswered. She didn't have classes today, and she had a slight cold, so she was lazy and didn't go to work, Gao Jin knew this. If she doesn't answer the phone, it will be even more troublesome to make up lies later.
You Jinlan took a few deep breaths, cleared her throat again, and then pressed the answer button.
"Lan Lan, what's wrong with you?" Gao Jin's voice came out, "Is the cold getting worse?"
"Nope. You Jinlan smiled reluctantly, "I was in the bathroom just now." ”
"Oh, it's good that it's not aggravated. Gao Jin said, "I took Xiangxiang and was discharged from the hospital, let's celebrate her, what do you think?"
"Okay. You Jinlan tried to show that she was happy, "I'm going to buy some food, when will you get home?"
"You don't have to do it. Gao Jin smiled and said, "Let's go out to eat, it just so happens that Xiangxiang has a good appetite today, and she said yesterday that she wanted to eat some pizza." ”
"That'...... Shall we have dinner together?" You Jinlan said, glancing at the wall clock on the wall, which happened to be five o'clock in the afternoon.
"Yes. Gao Jin laughed heartily, "Lan Lan, why do you sound like you have been wronged?"
"No, I don't. You Jinlan didn't expect Gao Jin to be so sensitive, she quickly hid her laughter a few times, and then said coquettishly, "I'm thinking about what beautiful clothes to wear." ”
"My Lanlan is beautiful in everything she wears. Gao Jin said affectionately.
"Nasty. You Jinlan said coquettishly, "Then I'll go to you?"
"I'll ask the driver to pick you up, you get ready. ”
An hour later, the car pulled up outside the Ritz-Carlton, Pudong. The driver opened the door for You Jinlan, and she walked out reservedly.
On the 52nd floor, Scena, who was Yujinlan's destination, stared at the mirrored wall of the elevator and looked at her outfit: a long mink-colored mink coat with a pearl-white camel hair dress and a small cobalt-blue leather bag on her slender arm. This bag was given to her by Gao Jin only last month.
It was the first time for you to come to Scena for dinner. After stepping out of the elevator, the waiter led the way for her in front, and she looked at the night view of the Huangpu River outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window with freshness.
I don't know when the rain stopped. The rows of high-rise buildings along the river were lit up, and they were like delicate toys dotted with stars, reflecting in You Jinlan's eyes, and this was a glitzy scene she had never seen before.
"Lan Lan. Gao Jin saw You Jinlan with sharp eyes, he stood up, called softly, and when You Jinlan walked to his side, he hugged You Jinlan warmly. The moment he hugged You Jinlan, he whispered in You Jinlan's ear, "You are so beautiful, I want to eat you." ”
You Jinlan's face flushed slightly, and she smiled and sat down beside Gao Xiangqi. "Xiangxiang, are you hungry? There is a bit of traffic jam on the road. ”
"It's fine. Gao Xiangqi said with a grin, "I ate a little chocolate to replenish my calories." She flipped through the menu with a slight exaggeration, "I can finally order, my dad didn't let me order just now." ”
"Hurry up, don't go hungry. You Jinlan knew that Gao Xiangqi was joking, so she followed her words, "Order more, anyway, Mr. Gao will pay the bill." ”
"Sister Lan, you're right!" Gao Xiangqi grimaced, then looked down at the menu and said, "I want to eat fried cod, Angora steak, margarita pizza, ......"
Listening to her chatter, Gao Jin couldn't help but laugh, "Have you eaten so much?"
"I don't care. Gao Xiangqi raised his head, "Anyway, I've been hungry these days, and I want to make up for the loss of hospitalization today." ”
You Jinlan saw that she was innocent, and she also laughed, "Xiangxiang, why do you say it as if you are hospitalized and have no food." ”
"The doctor won't let you eat, you won't be allowed to eat, hum. Gao Xiangqi said, "If it weren't for his good looks, I would have turned my face a long time ago." ”
"Wow, that's the idea you hit. Gao Jin pretended to be angry and said, "Then I'm going to change the attending doctor for you." ”
"You change. Gao Xiangqi said disapprerovingly, "Maybe you can change to a more handsome one, and it's best to be generous to me in terms of food." ”
The three of them talked and laughed, and quickly ordered the food. Gao Xiangqi took out her mobile phone and played for a while, and suddenly laughed.
"What's the fun? Gao Jin said.
Gao Xiangqi said with a smile: "A classmate of mine just posted on Moments to complain about her younger brother. ”
"And then?" Gao Jin was relieved to see that Gao Xiangqi was in good spirits and was very interested.
"Her brother is in his second year of junior high school this year and likes class flowers. Gao Xiangqi took a sip of water and continued, "Today, their class is doing a big cleaning. Her brother didn't know what to think, but suddenly he jumped on the podium, and then he tried to sprint and grab the piece on top of the door. ”
"Is it a lintel?" asked You Jinlan.
"Pretty much. Gao Xiangqi held back a smile, "He may think that he is Taishan, and his body is as light as a swallow." As a result, his head hit the lintel hard, fell off, and the back of his head hit the podium again. ”
"All this is happening in front of Ban Hua's eyes?" You Jinlan also laughed.
"Yes, Ban Hua was cleaning the windows at the time, and she happened to witness this scene with her own eyes, hahahaha......" Gao Xiangqi smiled and leaned back.
"Poor little boy. Gao Jin said, "He just wants to show his skills." ”
"The hormones are in the brain, and the brain can't turn. Gao Xiangqi said with a little teasing, "If he is thin-skinned, it is estimated that he will not dare to talk to Banhua for at least one semester." ”
"One semester?" Gao Jin shook his head, "If a man loses face, he has to work hard to earn it back, the sooner the better!
"It's normal for a little boy to be thin-skinned. You Jinlan smiled and said to Gao Jin, "I can't compare with you." ”
"Lan Lan, do you mean I'm thick-skinned?" Gao Jin pretended to be sad and said, "I don't want to eat it, I'm so sad." ”
"Then don't eat it, leave it to me and Sister Lan. Gao Xiangqi said mercilessly, "Look at your belly, if you eat it again, you will become a pig." ”
Gao Jin immediately took a deep breath, and then straightened his body, "Lan Lan, I'm in good shape, right? ”
You Jinlan smiled and said, "Xiangxiang teased you." ”
Gao Xiangqi watched the interaction between the two, and suddenly said with a wicked smile: "Sister Lan, I really don't know how you fell in love with my father, you look at his stupid appearance." “
Gao Jin's eyes widened, "Where am I stupid? This is called great wisdom and foolishness!"
Gao Xiangqi smiled and leaned back. When she was tired of laughing, she leaned on You Jinlan's shoulder and asked, "Sister Lan, I'll discuss something with you, okay?"
"Why are you talking so much?" You Jinlan gently touched Gao Xiangqi's ponytail, "Say it quickly." ”
"You and my dad will have me a brother. Gao Xiangqi said mischievously, "I want to have a beautiful Zhengtai to play." ”
You Jinlan was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Gao Jin smiled and put on a posture of wanting to beat someone, "Xiangxiang, you are too naughty, you see that you said that your Sister Lan's face turned red." ”
"It means that I said to Sister Lan's heart. Gao Xiangqi laughed and snuggled into You Jinlan's arms, "Sister Lan, am I right?"
As soon as You Jinlan raised her head, she happened to meet Gao Jin's unfathomable gaze. Her heart went up and down, and suddenly she remembered what Dai Tian had told her, and the "death file" she had seen in the attic. She smiled reluctantly, "Xiangxiang, did you forget to order dessert?"
"I haven't forgotten, I'll order it later, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat it if I order too much. Gao Xiangqi was really diverted, and You Jinlan suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Gao Jin saw the waiter coming over with a tray, so he said to Gao Xiangqi, "The delicious food is here." ”
At a quarter past eight o'clock in the evening, the three people, who had eaten to their heart's content, returned home.
"I went to take a shower. After Gao Xiangqi finished speaking, he walked into his room.
"Go ahead. Gao Jin said and walked into the study. You Jinlan quickly followed and helped him take off his coat.
"You don't have to help me, you go change your clothes first, I just happen to have something to do. Gao Jin said.
You Jinlan could feel that there was a subtle change in Gao Jin's eyes when she looked at her, but she didn't want to think about it at the moment, she had thought enough things today, and her head was about to explode.
"Good. She replied meekly, then turned and walked to the bedroom.
You Jinlan walked into the bathroom, locked the door, and then hurriedly took out her mobile phone and logged in to her mailbox. Her phone seemed to have some network glitches, and she couldn't refresh her inbox on the road, and in the restaurant, she didn't dare to look at her email in front of Gao's father and daughter.
After a few turns around Hot Wheels, a new email appeared, which she quickly clicked on.
"If he doesn't ask, then keep it natural. If he asks, whatever he asks, you have to say he doesn't know. To pretend to be pitiful, if necessary, you can scare him with a breakup. ”
You Jinlan trembled and deleted the email, and then put the phone in her purse. She looked at herself in the mirror, sighed, and began to remove the hairpins and pins from her hair. After finishing her hair, she began to remove her makeup.
By the time she was done with all this, it had already been more than ten minutes.
She opened the bathroom door.
Gao Jin was sitting on the double bed, facing the bathroom, staring straight at her.
You Jinlan was taken aback. She was a little cramped, so she had to grab the leather bag with one hand and cover her chest with the other, pretending to be surprised and said, "Mr. Gao, are you done so quickly?"
"yes, I'm in a hurry to eat you. Gao Jin grinned, revealing his neat white teeth, like a great white shark seeing its prey.
