Chapter 8: Once Upon a Time

Ning Ran kicked off first, she did have a hand in playing, and she learned it in order to get a partner that time.

Ning Ran got off to a smooth start, she played in a disciplined manner and took her safe shots to the extreme.

"Two wins in three games, don't be on the books. ”

Wan Jia was grinding the rod, he glanced at the situation on the table, his posture was very standard, Ning Ran noticed it, and it was not like he said that it would only be a little bit.

Wan Jia aimed at the white ball in the upper right corner and went around to Ning Ran's side, Ning Ran looked at it, there is only one side ball here, Wan Jia won't even understand the rules, or does he want to... It's arrogant.

Ning Ran guessed correctly, Wan Jia really wanted to take the lead, Ning Ran said coldly: "Don't pretend to be too much." ”

Wan Jia smiled and hit it down.

Ning Ran was stunned, she was not mistaken, she was not lucky to be able to score the opening line.

"It's your turn", Wan Jia raised an eyebrow.

Ning Ran held his breath, playing more and more chaotic, and lost more than 20 goals to him in three games.

"Wanjia, you lied to me", she threw the pole on the stage.

Wan Jia walked over and gathered her around the table and picked her chin, "How did I lie to you?"

"Didn't you say it would only be a little bit?" Ning Ran poked Wan Jia's face angrily.

"I'm only a little, you let me", Wan Jia pressed her hand down and put it on the table.

The two of them were very close, and Ning Ran could feel that Wan Jia's breath was spitting on her face when she spoke, it was very hot, and she wondered if she had forgotten to turn on the air conditioner.

She is a little restrained today, very different from the usual active appearance, Wan Jia let go of her, he doesn't want to force it, as long as the atmosphere is not right.

Wan Jia stepped aside and waited for her to come down, "Go wash the dishes." ”

Wan Jia's Adam's apple is very conspicuous, and he has a low voice when he speaks, otherwise Ning Ran won't feel that he has a fire burning on his body when he speaks, and she can't resist Wan Jia, no matter when.

Ning Ran kicked his shoes off and rubbed his foot on Wan Jia's waist, Wan Jia looked at her, but didn't move, Ning Ran continued to hold his shoulder, forcing him to look at himself.

Wan Jia helped her put on her slippers and glanced at her, "Let's go." ”

"Don't go", Ning Ran kicked off again.

Wan Jia scolded secretly: "Ning Ran, don't mess with me if you don't want to." ”

"I think", Ning Ran likes to bite his ear very much, and he does use it every time.

"There's no that," Wan Jia shifted her shoulder, "I'll get it." ”

Ning Ran didn't want to wait, "That's it." ”

Wan Jia's actions were very rude, he was indeed teased by Ning Ran, and he was on fire, Ning Ran was pressed down on the billiard table, and the ball was not put away, even if Wan Jia had her hands cushioned, she still snorted, "Woo." ”

"Want to change places?"

Wan Jia helped her up.

Ning Ran used his elbows to make room for himself, and said softly, "No." ”

Wan Jia put her hand on her and leaned over, Ning Ran did feel pain, I don't know if it was because the table was uncomfortable or Wan Jia was too hard today, she bit her mouth and didn't make a sound.

Wan Jia looked at her little daughter-in-law's aggrieved appearance and stopped, "It hurts?"

Ning Ran stared at him with tears in his eyes.

"You bastard", the words that came out were soft.

"You messed with it. ”

Ning Ran smiled, Wan Jia likes it very much, it should be said that Wan Jia makes her like it more and more.

I don't know how long it took, Ning Ran felt that she had no strength in her body, and Wan Jia was helping her put on her shoes.

"Do you want to hug it?"

Ning Ran lay on top of him and stretched out his two hands, "Yes." ”

She's really cute today, Wan Jia thought.

Walked downstairs and saw a table of bowls, "What to do?" he raised his chin towards the dining room.

"There was a dishwasher. ”

"Then you take a bath first", Wan Jia made Ning Ran very dirty.

"You send me in", Ning Ran kissed him on the face.

"Don't take an inch. ”

Ning Ran lay on his stomach and bit him on the neck.

Wan Jia snorted lightly and slapped her buttocks hard to signal her to be obedient.

In the end, he helped Ning Ran put water and undressed, otherwise she would keep making trouble.

Wan Jia put the bowl in the dishwasher, he didn't understand what the situation was, he didn't want to think too much, at least for now, he was quite satisfied.

When Wan Jia came out of the shower, Ning Ran was revising the draft with an iPad.

The first time he saw Ning Ran wearing glasses, he was very well-behaved and looked deceptive.

Ning Ran raised his head when he heard the voice and asked him, "Why don't you wear clothes?"

Wan Jia washed his shirt, and he came out wearing a pair of pants.

Ning Ran continued to ask, "Didn't you put a set of pajamas?"

Wan Jia felt troublesome and said, "I don't want to wear it." ”

Ning Ran squinted his eyes and smiled.

Wan Jia climbed up and flicked her head, "Don't laugh like that, it's very obscene." ”

"How old are you?"

“32。 ”

Wan Jia smoked a cigarette, his eyes were empty when he smoked, as if he was caught in a world of self, and people couldn't help but want to guess.

Ning Ran finished changing the manuscript and put the ipad on the head of the bed, "Then we are almost the same, what a natural pair." ”

Wan Jia raised her eyebrows, Ning Ran didn't look like it, she had good skin and was very comfortable to the touch.

"Why, it's not like it", Ning Ran lay on top of him, she liked this posture very much.

"No, you're young. ”

Ning Ran kissed his chin to show that she was very happy, Wan Jia helped her up, helped her take off her glasses, and lightly tapped her on the mouth.

"Sleep. ”

Ning Ran pulled Wanjia's hair restlessly, "Don't you want to do it again?"

"Ning Ran, don't do it", Wan Jia stared, Ning Ran yawned, he just saw it.

Wan Jia turned off the lights.

"Okay", Ning Ran flattened his mouth as he pretended to be lost.

Ning Ran looked quiet when he slept, his eyelashes were curled, as if he could speak, his breathing was very soft, and he was pillowed on Wan Jia's arm, and his skin was so tender that he could pinch out the water.

Wan Jia moved her hand and pulled her hair away from her face, which was more comfortable.

The next day, when Wan Jia woke up, Ning Ran had already gone to work, he didn't know whether to leave now or stay here, the two of them didn't spend the daytime experience together.

He walked to the living room, and Ning Ran put a post-it note.

There are sandwiches in the microwave, remember to eat them when you wake up, and if you don't have work today, wait for me to come back at noon.

Settle down - Ning.

He didn't take the outside shot today, there is no difference between here and back there, they are all alone, and they simply follow her wishes.

Ning Ran was very punctual, he didn't stay alone for long, and someone appeared at the door.

"Are you hungry?" Wan Jia had already cooked.

"Thank you. "It's a strange feeling, she comes home from work and has someone to talk to, and a table of cooked dishes.

"You don't want to go to work in the afternoon?"

Ning Ran nodded and said sincerely: "I am the editor-in-chief." ”

Wan Jia couldn't help but laugh when she heard her boast in a very natural tone.

Ning Ran glared at him.

"I'll take you somewhere in the afternoon. ”

Wan Jia didn't expect that she didn't go to work to accompany him to a place, and was a little surprised: "Where are you going?"

Ning Ran said mysteriously: "You'll know when you arrive." ”

Ever since he knew that Wan Jia could drive, Ning Ran began to give up the task of driving.

"I'm used to being lazy. Wan Jia was very helpless with her.

Wan Jia drives very steadily, and Ning Ran is not good at creating romance. Wan Jia, the location she reported, knew it was an art museum as soon as she heard it, and there was a photography exhibition held here today.

This did not prevent Wan Jia from feeling warm, and did not debunk Ning Ran's careful thoughts.

"For foreign photography exhibitions, tickets are given by others. Ning Ran looked up at Wan Jia when he entered the door.

Wan Jia shrugged her nose and said, "Thank you." ”

The exhibition was clearly well prepared, and he saw many masterpieces, some of which had been lost for many years.

Many of those bizarre, broad, or delicate works have won awards, but in Wan Jia's eyes, there is only simple appreciation, no indulgence, and no surprise.

Until passing by a work, Wan Jia's expression paused obviously, it was a work of heavy colors, the girl in the picture was not dressed, red blood flowed in all directions, and there was a large open mouth at each end, which was shocking.

Ning Ran watched Wan Jia's emotions obviously begin to condense, and she didn't interrupt him.

Until he took the initiative to speak: "What do you think?"

"Touched, shocked. "Ning Ran can only analyze from the most intuitive perspective.

Wan Jia smiled and said to her, "Let's go." ”

Ning Ran paid attention to this work, "Sheep"

The author she hadn't heard of, Sayre Wanders.

Wan Jia patted her head and urged her: "Don't leave yet!

Ning Ran thought for a moment and said, "You can buy it." ”

This answer surprised Wan Jia, Ning Ran always unconsciously seemed innocent in a field she was not familiar with.

Wan Jia smiled and said, "This is imitated by later generations, and the original work has long been burned." ”

Ning Ran didn't understand this, and when he heard this, he had some questions, "Why?"

"It's contrary to the world's ideas, so it is to be destroyed. ”

Wan Jia snorted coldly and didn't look at it again, who was the self-deprecation and contempt in his eyes aimed at? Ignorant people or souls who have nothing to live in.

Ning Ran pointed to the work and said to Wan Jia, "I like it very much." ”

Wan Jia looked at her firmly, as if it was really not to cater to his preferences, nor was it a deliberate attack, just a few words that flowed from the bottom of her heart, as if the city was lost, ran over the high wall, and rushed into the defense line.

Wan Jia chuckled and said, "Let's go." ”

Ning Ran nodded, turned around and walked out the door.

None of them noticed that in the scattered crowd, there was a person with a surprised look in his eyes, staring at the back of the declining figure, his expression was both lost and regained, and it was like disbelief.

The man beside her, watching the always delicate and powerful order-giver froze in place, and as she looked, the doorway was empty, and there was nothing to be seen.

"Qi Xuan, what's wrong with you?"

The woman named Qi Xuan's legs in high heels were weak, and the man hurriedly held on until he saw a tear on Qi Xuan's face, and a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Peng Ming, I just saw him. Qi Xuan's voice was low, as if he was telling a long story.

Peng Ming's brows tightened, and a person's face appeared in his heart, and he was the only one who could make Qi Xuan lose his temper.

Sure enough, Qi Xuan said in a daze: "Lu Jia, I saw Lu Jia." ”

"Are you sure?"

Qi Xuan nodded, and only spoke after a long time: "I will not admit my mistake." ”

"Are you going to find him, then?"

"There was a woman beside him. Qi Xuanyu laughed and continued: "After so many years, it's normal. ”

Peng Ming didn't speak, too many years had passed since the two of them, and he had even forgotten the beginning and the end.
