Also unable to sit still is He Zongming.

From time to time, he glanced at the two people on the other side, and found that the communication between the two was basically zero.

He Zongming hated that iron could not become steel. He took great pains to lure Jiang Ruo here, but it was not to let Lu Huaishen compete with her who could not speak for a longer time.

When I didn't see anyone, I drank and smoked, and when I saw someone, I was silent and silent.

If it weren't for seeing that Lu Huaishen was not in the right state, he wouldn't have to do this thankless job.

Another reason is that he really feels empty in his heart. After all, Jiang Ruo saw Du Shengyi for the first time, and he was also present, so he deliberately pretended not to know Du Shengyi at that time. Although this only belongs to the tacit understanding of men on some things.

People always turn their elbows inward, and he has been friends with Lu Huaishen for more than ten or twenty years, so he naturally thinks from Lu Huaishen's point of view first.

It was, and it is.

After Jiang Ruo sat down, Lu Huaishen asked people to add a pair of tableware, Jiang Ruo didn't move, she had just eaten dinner not long ago, and now she has no appetite when she sees any delicacies, just a glass of freshly squeezed juice, and take a sip from time to time.

She sat there quietly, no matter who seemed to be arrogant or impatient, she didn't show the emotions in her heart on her face, and she didn't embarrass He Zongming, who had led her here.

Lu Huaishen leaned on the back of the chair, his left hand relaxed and slightly bent on the table, his fingers kept close to the wine glass, and it was convenient to take a sip of the wine glass at any time.

When Jiang Ruo reached out to get the juice, her elbow inadvertently touched Lu Huaishen, and she shook like an electric shock. Lu Huaishen turned his head slightly to look at her, Jiang Ruo pretended to be nothing, avoided his eyes, and took the juice without a trace and lowered his head.

Lu Zhong saw the unintentional interaction between the two on the side, and he wanted to laugh in his heart. It's obviously a husband and wife, but it's like being in an ambiguous stage where even the slightest physical contact feels unnatural.

Lu Huaishen didn't talk to her, and Jiang Ruo could understand. After all, she was the one who kicked him out, and the conversation on the phone today was not pleasant.

Jiang Ruo's heart seemed to be scratched by something, which made her feel restless.

At this time, Wang Zhao sent a WeChat message, and Jiang Ruo just wanted to go out to breathe, so he said to Lu Huaishen: "I'll go out for a while." ”

Lu Huaishen said "um", Jiang Ruo glanced at him, and then got up and went out with his bag.

As soon as she stood up, Lu Huaishen grabbed her bag, "Just let it go." ”

Jiang Ruo lowered his eyes and looked at his side face, thinking that she was afraid that she would run away, she just had the habit of carrying a bag with her outside.

She hesitated, put the bag down, and went out with only her phone.

After Jiang Ruo went out, Lu Huaishen touched a cigarette and came out, Lu Chong seemed to be smiling, and silently put his shoulder on his shoulder.

He Zongming looked back in the direction Jiang Ruo left, sat for a while, pretended to have a phone call in, and went out with his mobile phone.

Jiang Ruo drank a little too much juice, went to the bathroom, and when he came out, he walked slowly while bowing his head to reply to Wang Zhao; didn't go far, and was blocked by He Zongming, who came out of nowhere.

As Jiang Ruo walked, he saw that the light in front of him was much darker, and a pair of long legs wearing leather shoes appeared under him.

Jiang Ruo raised his head, glanced at He Zongming, and put away his mobile phone.

He Zongming smiled at her.

Jiang Ruo also laughed, but only perfunctory without smiling.

Her impression of He Zongming has always been very complicated, in fact, she can see at a glance that this person is not good at stubble, don't look at his usual shouting and drinking, he is not very serious, he can establish a deep friendship with Lu Huaishen, how can he be a straw bag who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun?

It's just that Jiang Ruo has repeatedly followed his ways, and he is always unkind to him in his heart.

"Are you still angry? Haven't I run out of tricks, don't worry about me. He Zongming had a bit of an intention to make amends, although he was not very sincere.

"Mr. He......"

"Hey, what are you doing here?" He Zongming was startled by her polite salutation, and interrupted before she could finish speaking.

"......" Jiang Ruo was also polite: "He Zongming I know what your purpose is, but you don't ask for my opinions and feelings every time, which makes me feel very uncomfortable." ”

He Zongming clasped his hands together: "Okay, I'm sorry." This time, I will never break my promise, you can come to me at any time, ask questions at any time, and I will say everything I can. ”

Jiang Ruo reacted very quickly: "What can't be said? Who knows if the answer to each of my questions will be 'this can't be said'?"

He Zongming was stunned by her reaction.

Jiang Ruo's eyes were quiet, and there was sharpness in the silence.

He Zongming raised his eyebrows, "You are questioning my character." ”

"You don't have much character to speak of with me. ”

He Zongming covered his heart exaggeratedly: "Then you really hurt my heart." ”

Jiang Ruo tugged at the corners of his mouth indifferently.

He Zongming sighed, bit his lower lip and turned his head to look at the night in the courtyard, thought for a while and said, "Let's put it this way, I wasn't very optimistic about you and Lu Huaishen from the beginning. ”

"I know it's not just you, it's everyone around me who is not optimistic. "Even she herself is not optimistic.

He Zongming didn't say that he should have a prejudice against Jiang Qi, so he didn't even treat Jiang Qi very well at first, even if this prejudice gradually weakened, it has continued to this day.

However, he is only an outsider, his views are not that important, and there is no need to stand in the center of morality to point out the feelings of others. Seeing the change in Lu Huaishen's emotions towards Jiang Ruo, he couldn't do much except occasionally remind a few words.

He Zongming smiled: "During this time, because of your affairs, he has been uncertain, and he hasn't been so bored drinking for a long time, so he came to you." If I said he was here, you wouldn't have come. Isn't that the contradiction in the relationship? That's why I came up with this decision. ”

Jiang Ruo smiled and said, "It sounds like you have a lot of emotional experience." ”

"I don't dare to do that. Actually......" He said with a lighter expression, but he was still smiling, "I don't think much of Lu Huaishen because of a woman's mood swings so much." You already have an insurmountable barrier, and it is not easy for you to come together, and he has crossed a huge psychological barrier with you, so what is there that you can't talk about?

The tone is kind, but the meaning of the words is not very good.

Jiang Ruo looked at him directly: "Listen to you, you mean to complain that I don't know the general situation when I am angry with him?" ”

He Zongming perfunctorily denied: "That's not it, you can understand that I persuade and don't persuade to separate." ”

Jiang Ruo remained silent: "Huaqing is your cousin?"

"Yes. ”

"Let Du Shengyi not cooperate with DS, you are the one who connects Lu Huaishen and Huaqing?"

He Zongming: "......"

Jiang Ruo smiled at him, and sneered slowly: "I might as well tell you, I don't like you He Zongming either, I think you are not only arrogant but also self-righteous, but I didn't ask you to change it privately, so as not to affect Lu Huaishen." Do you know why my grandfather lived to be ninety-six years old?"

He Zongming was stunned by her sarcasm, and was suddenly even more stunned when she asked like this, "Why?"

Jiang Ruo looked at the time on the screen of his mobile phone without changing his face: "Because he never meddles." ”

After speaking, he passed by He Zongming's side.

He Zongming was left in place, so angry that he didn't move his feet for a long time.

He Zongming found a blind date girl introduced by a relative on WeChat, but he had never met in person, but he often flirted with each other, and the circle of friends also blocked each other.

He asked: My brother's woman said that I was arrogant and nosy, was this insulting or sarcastic?

The other party replied: The sarcasm of the insulting level, the implication is that you are a bad woman. Obviously you offended her.

He Zongming felt a little aggrieved: But I'm thinking about my brother.

The woman's reply: You chirp crookedly about other people's feelings, isn't it a bad woman?

He Zongming didn't reply.

The woman immediately asked, "Do you want to have a few drinks?"

He Zongming: Where?

Woman: Here I am.

He Zongming: Not that interested.

Woman: Oh...... I'm not in the mood? Because a man is sexless, can't get hard? Young man, it's a pity.

He Zongming: I'll go to your uncle!

This woman loves to make meat jokes, often windy and not rainy, so she only dares to fight with her mouth, and pretends to be dead when she comes out, either overtime or on a business trip, He Zongming turned off his mobile phone and ignored her.

Back in his seat, Jiang Ruo was not unusual, in fact, he was a little angry with He Zongming.

He Zongming deliberately stayed outside for a while before coming in, so weak that he didn't dare to look at Lu Huaishen again, let alone look at Jiang Ruo.

I couldn't help but reflect on whether what he said was a little ugly, in fact, he felt that his tone was okay, but Jiang Ruo was too up-to-date and glass-hearted, and he didn't adopt other people's opinions.

However, the more this happens, the more unable to convince yourself.

Everyone else could see that something was wrong between the two of them, and with Jiang Ruo there, there was no way to chat, so they dispersed early.

Jiang Ruo and Lu Huaishen sat in the seats inside, and when they left, it was logical that they left last.

Jiang Ruo wanted Lu Huaishen to go ahead, but Lu Huaishen got up but didn't move, raised his chin and motioned for her to go ahead of him.

Jiang Ruo did so.

The two did not communicate verbally the whole time.

All of these people's cars drove into the hall and parked outside the small courtyard where they were eating.

The people in front said goodbye to each other and dispersed, and those who drank called the driver to drive, seeing that Lu Huaishen had Jiang Ruo by his side, he didn't consider the question of how Lu Huaishen would go.

There are lanterns in front of the courtyard, there are street lamps around, the light in front of the small courtyard is bright, Jiang Ruo looked around, did not see a sightseeing car that carried her over, the sightseeing car has been driving for a long time when she came, she is not familiar with the route, and she does not know what year and month she will go to when she goes out.

And Lu Huaishen stood with her, not saying a word.

Jiang Ruo secretly glared at him angrily, this person was more able to hold back than her.

"You didn't call Pei Shao or the driver over?"

"Nope. Lu Huaishen immediately turned his head to look at her, as if he had won a game, and Jiang Ruo seemed to see a hint of pride in his dark eyes.

Therefore, Jiang Ruo felt that the qi he received from He Zongming became more and more vigorous, and burned into a fire.

Jiang Ruo's face darkened: "Let's call, you wait here." ”

After speaking, it doesn't matter how far away from the exit, just lift your feet and walk, you can always meet a car on the way, or you can also meet a staff member and ask someone to send a car to take her out.

It's just that the cat heels she wears are still pointed, and it's not easy to walk.

She had just taken two steps when Lu Huaishen stretched out his hand and dragged her back.

Lu Huaishen didn't care about it, because he was expected to be able to catch her and pull people into his arms. But Jiang Ruo was unguarded, staggered, worried that he would fall, and was very frightened.

Jiang Ruo had just been pulled closer by him and stood still, his heart palpitated, and he raised his hand and pushed him, "What are you doing so hard?"

Lu Huaishen thought that she was just having a temper, and said lightly with his eyebrows, "I'm sorry." ”

Jiang Ruo thought that he had heard something, and was stunned, and involuntarily looked up at him.

Lu Huaishen bowed slightly, held her face, pressed his forehead against her forehead, moved gently, rubbing the tip of her nose with the tip of his nose, as if repeating the three words just now with his actions.

The distance between the two was so close that Jiang Ruo couldn't see him clearly, only that he was already drunk.

Jiang Ruo turned his head to hide, but he grabbed her and didn't let go, his hand tightened slightly, squeezing her face slightly deformed.

Jiang Ruo grabbed his wrist angrily, "Let go!"

Lu Huaishen actually smiled and kissed her moist lips.

Jiang Ruo was stunned, his heart beating like a drum. There was no one around, the night breeze blew, the sound of branches and leaves wrapped the two of them, and a few strands of Jiang Ruo's hair were entangled and wiped across his face, itching unbearably.

Seeing him staring at himself and smiling, he scolded angrily: "You idiot!"

She hardened her heart and thought: If you don't do this set, I will never take the bait again.

Jiang Ruo turned his head away, pushed him away with an expressionless face, reached into his trouser pocket, and felt the car keys.

She walked towards the car with resolute steps: "I'll send you back." ”

She planned to drive Lu Huaishen's car to the parking lot, and then change to her own car, so that she could still drive her own car back to the residence of Hualingfu, and she didn't plan to give him the slightest chance to find the door.

After walking a few steps, she turned around and saw Lu Huaishen's slow movements, she was angry, and stepped forward to pull him open the car door and stuffed people into the car.

The road here is actually not difficult to find, a main line out, that is, it is relatively far.

When she got to the place where she parked outside, she turned her head and glanced at Lu Huaishen, who had already fallen asleep with his head and eyes closed.

Jiang Ruo pushed him, "Get up and change my car." ”

Lu Huaishen slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were darker, deeper, and brighter, he glanced at her, as if recalling what she had just said, and said for a long time: "Just drive this car." ”

"Then I'll drive the car away after I send you back. ”

"Yes. ”

"Let Pei Shao or the driver pick it up, in short, don't come. ”

He hesitated, but finally said, "Yes." ”

Jiang Ruo hummed slightly in his heart, but it was easy to discuss.

On the road, Lu Huaishen woke up from sleep, and when he was awake, he would turn his head sideways and stare at her all the time, Jiang Ruo noticed it, but he ignored him.

When he arrived at the door, Lu Huaishen opened his eyes.

Jiang Ruo rushed people: "It's here, go down, I'll go back." ”

Lu Huaishen sat there without saying a word, Jiang Ruo repeated what he had just said, he turned his head at this time, with the cover of the roof of the car, only part of the light from the lights in the yard could shine into the car, and the light in the carriage was dim, which made his eyes even more unfathomable.

Jiang Ruo suddenly questioned whether he was drunk or not, judging from the reflection and the bright color of his eyes, he was indeed drunk, but he looked at people calmly and looked no different from usual.

Jiang Ruo's heart was in turmoil, and he didn't want to spend any more time with him, so he said coldly: "Get out of the car." ”

"Where are you going when I get out of the car?"

"Back to where I lived. Jiang Ruo kept facing him with an indifferent side face, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.

"This isn't where you live?"

Jiang Ruo held the steering wheel and did not speak.

After a while, a large palm touched the back of her hand, and she trembled, and he had already held her tight, holding her firmly, not allowing her to break free.

"It's so late, don't go. His voice was drunk and deeper.

Jiang Ruo couldn't resist the retention revealed in his tone, and when he heard the words, he turned his head to look at him.
