Chapter 15: Excuses
Wan Jia wrung the bottle of water and pulled up the picture taken today from the memory card, he had never been used to arrears.
Bai Fan's delicate face is integrated with the dilapidated factories and pompous rivets under his lens, and the industrial city presented in cold colors is declining, and his unyielding can only become a laughing stock.
Wan Jia is satisfied with Bai Fan, there is no specially trained posture, and casualness is his selling point.
A phone with a recessed corner was many years ago, the thickness of a finger, and now, neither light nor useful, and it is vibrating on the table.
Say. Wan Jia pressed the hands-free, and the movements of his hands did not stop.
"Kako, give me your woman's phone. Qin Zheng was crying with a sad face, and a bunch of old men on his side were waiting for him to find fault if he couldn't do anything.
"You didn't stay?"
Wan Jia remembered that yesterday Qin Zheng brought tea and water again, and his tongue was full of lotus flowers, and he sneered.
Qin Zheng's face fell to the ground even more, and he wailed, "I'm patronizing to give her a business card." ”
Wan Jia put down the mouse and was about to send the number over, but stopped again, Qin Zheng yelled urgently, "What are you rubbing?"
Wan Jia said calmly, "I'll help you ask." ”
Without waiting for anything to be said, he hung up.
Ning Ran had just finished visiting Chen Lao, and he was going to go to dinner in the car, but he didn't have much strength, and he didn't see who answered when he heard the bell ring.
"Hey, hello. ”
Ning Ran tried his best to laugh, and his tone was calm.
There was a chuckle over there, "Editor-in-chief Ning, you're okay." ”
Ning Ran paid attention to the caller ID, hell, Wan Jia called her, this casual tone, she seemed to be able to see the face that seemed to be smiling.
"What's wrong?"
"Qin Zheng asked you, how was that matter?"
When Ning Ran heard this, he had a serious attitude, it turned out that he was just passing the word, this was normal, that little inexplicable expectation was disappointed, and in just a moment, Ning Ran stabilized his emotions, hearing this, Kaline hadn't contacted Qin Zheng yet.
"I've already told her, wait and see. ”
Wan Jia heard the whistle on her side, and the traffic police shouted for her to open the window to check, and looked at the time, it was still outside at eight o'clock, and it should be social.
As soon as this speculation came out, Wan Jia was a little pretentious, the call was inexplicable, and he didn't have time to think about it, Ning Ran said, "That's it, I'm still on the road, it's inconvenient to answer the phone." ”
Wan Jia said "um", the screen went out, and only the sound of his breathing was left in this room, sometimes slow and sometimes fast, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, Wan Jia didn't think about it again, and then the rest of the work.
Ning Ran sighed towards the detector and smiled politely, the person outside the car window, wearing a green vest and a long figure, looked young, should be a recent graduate, looking at Ning Ran's smiling face and blushing for a moment, stunned in place.
Ning Ran looked at him with his eyes scattered, not looking at the detector, and asked, "Is there any problem?"
"No," he reacted, stumbling a little, "and you can go." ”
Ning Ran was a little funny in her heart, closed the window and left, the plan was to go to a restaurant to sit down and have a good meal, after answering the phone, she suddenly lost interest, ordered a takeout, and made do with her stomach.
Ning Ran was lying on the bed after being busy, and suddenly felt that something was missing, and she couldn't say it, she didn't get to the point where she needed stimulation every day, and suddenly felt that this house was just a house, the same as before, but different from yesterday.
There would be someone who would rinse with the bathroom water on while she was working, and besides her, there was another person in this house who breathed, so real, so close to her.
Ning Ran never brought back a man other than Ning Xiao, and even Ning Xiao hadn't entered her bedroom for so many years, but Wan Jia, she didn't resist what he did, and even took the initiative to invite, this kind of posture had never been experienced.
Unable to figure out his thoughts, Ning Ran's breathing became softer and softer, until he gradually withdrew from reality.
Smoky, with countless mouths around her, she was naked, half-lying on the ground, trying to cover herself with her limbs, and was violently pulled open by a person, showing no reservation in the eyes of those people.
"I really can't see it, Ning Ran is enough to be sassy. ”
"You're in such a good shape, don't hide it. ”
"Look at that expression, it's not the first time that you want to die. ”
"The first time? Do you look like a vixen, and I was slept on. ”
Ning Ran covered her ears and buried herself, her white body was covered with mud, and she couldn't tell which direction it was coming from, and which person's mouth was all piled up on her.
There was a person who slowly took shape, holding her in his arms, his hair blocked half of his face, but it was always translucent, he couldn't touch it, he couldn't catch it, Ning Ran didn't admit defeat, he desperately stretched out his hand, the fog hid on the side of the mountain, wearing that body, she saw the sun rising, circling in a circle, fainting light, the surroundings were empty, and the others were long gone.
The alarm is ringing...
Ning Ran squeezed the corners of the quilt with his hand, slowly opened his eyes, and only after the song had passed a circle, did he slowly sit up, check himself, and kick the home slippers to wash.
How many times have I done this dream, familiar and unfamiliar, that translucent figure, the first time it existed, looming, I didn't want to guess, I didn't dare to guess.
Ning Ran kept pouring cold water on his face to calm himself down, and after a long time, he took out a towel to dry it and put on light makeup.
*
Kaline hesitated for a long time, and finally put away the business card, after Ning Ran left, she deliberately went to the beauty salon to do a full set of maintenance, this is her chance, no matter what news this person on the business card brings her, she has to fight hard.
When she got home, the bottles and cans on the ground had been put away, and the hourly workers hired were not bad, she thought to herself, the windows were opened, the smell of air fresheners was dissipating, there was no moon tonight, or not in Hejing, there were high-rise buildings, there were prosperous falls, there were no stars, there was no lawn to walk barefoot.
Kaline didn't like to wear slippers, so as soon as she got home, she kicked off those heels, stepped on the cold tiles, walked to the fridge, and poured herself a glass of milk, tomorrow, if it was the best.
She took out the delicate business card from her bag, the words on it were firmly in her heart, pressed the numbers, and moistened her throat as she waited.
Qin Zheng had just received a letter from Wan Jiachuan over there, wondering if Ning Ran was reliable, and immediately answered it as soon as he saw the unfamiliar number.
"Hello Mr. Qin, I am Kaline, a model introduced by Editor-in-Chief Ning Ran. ”
Hearing this beginning, Qin Zheng was a little hesitant, the model, like a light pole, can shoot this kind of advertisement? But this voice, how is it a little familiar.
Kaline's timbre is not related to the weak and delicate, and her voice is subdued and frustrated, word by word, which sounds very spiritual.
Since Ning Ran recommended it, there was no reason not to see it, Qin Zheng adjusted his state and replied to her quietly: "Hello, Miss Kaline." ”
"I don't know if Mr. Qin is free at noon tomorrow, we can meet. "Kaline used to take care of the work herself, and she still knows how to do it.
Qin Zheng didn't have time for anything, it was his task to make this promotion activity, he still pretended to ponder for a while before he spoke: "Then I'll arrange it." ”
"Thank you very much. Kaline waited to hang up the phone.
The busy sound came, Kaline put away the phone, that Mr. Qin listened to it quite young, and spoke thoughtfully, but I don't know why, it seems that I have heard it somewhere, I can't remember clearly, I simply shook my head, and rested early.
The next morning, Qin Zheng sent the address of a Western restaurant, and Kaline raised her eyebrows, this man had the same taste as her.
She picked out a one-shoulder shirt, put on a pair of light-colored wide-legged pants on her lower body, and she couldn't make a mistake at will, and spent more than an hour blowing her hair and tying it into a ball.
When Kaline walked into the restaurant wearing a hat and sunglasses, Qin Zheng noticed her at a glance, stepping on high heels taller than many men who had rubbed shoulders, covering her face tightly, and she couldn't see her face clearly.
Kaline was familiar with the location, and went to the table number, she was 200-degree myopia, and she didn't wear glasses in order to look good, so she could only feel that there was a man sitting.
Qin Zheng looked at the person who came carefully, his eyes widened, and his tone was surprised: "It's you!"
Kaline was halfway through her seat, stopped when she heard this, took off her sunglasses, and looked at Qin Zheng suspiciously, "You are following me?"
Qin Zheng gasped and said, "I'll come first." ”
"Oh," Kaline got up, thinking that she had found the wrong position, and searched around again, staring at the black gilded 26, and asked tentatively, "Mr. Qin?"
Qin Zheng sneered, "It's really fateful, Miss Kaline." ”
It's true, when we met on a narrow road, no one spoke for a while, Kaline stood at the table, didn't know whether to continue talking, remembered her situation, gritted her teeth again, smiled as if nothing happened, and said while sitting down: "Yes, it's quite fateful." ”
Qin Zheng pressed his forehead against his forehead, and he didn't continue to make things difficult for her, "Let's eat first." ”
Kaline watched as the plates, which were far more than two servings, were served one after another, and there were five steaks in front of her alone, not that she didn't like to eat, and with such a high calorie intake, she would have to diet for the next few weeks.
"Don't like to eat?" Qin Zheng said proudly, "Then maybe we can't..."
"No," Kaline said, smiling, "and you can eat it." ”
Kaline endured the idea of slashing Qin Zheng with a thousand knives, and solved the things on the plate without saying a word, Qin Zheng held his hands to look at her, his wrist was thin as if it could be broken, waiting for her to beg for mercy.
Qin Zheng's face became colder and colder, until she even stuffed the last onion into her mouth, wiped her mouth casually, and asked him, "Mr. Qin doesn't like to eat these?"
Kaline smiled on her face, took a breath, and held the bag in her hand, eager to strangle it as Qin Zheng.
"No need. "Qin Zheng has a hard time, how can he still eat.
"Then I'll take my leave. Kaline bowed and prepared to turn around.
"Don't want the contract?" Qin Zheng saw that she was not acting. Walk farther and farther, step forward and pull.
"It's not up to me to decide whether you want to," Kaline smiled, "Mr. Qin's first time going out to do business?"
He could hear it, and he was sarcastically mocking him for being mindless.
Qin Zheng let go of his hand, tilted his head, and said, "There is backbone." ”
The man didn't reply, he walked forward with his head held high, Qin Zheng tasted the touch on his hand, it was so fine, he should pinch it hard to see if she was still arrogant.
