Chapter 19: Skewers
Chang Yulin raised his head and looked at me incredulously: "Tang May, please be sober." No matter how hungry I am, I won't get involved with a woman who has another man in her heart. He got up and went to the kitchen, where I leaned against the kitchen counter and watched him open the fridge and pull out two bottles of soda.
"Here you go. He angrily handed me a bottle.
I took the soda and asked with a grin, "Chang Yulin, what the hell are you doing here?"
Chang Yulin didn't seem to be surprised by my question, and slowly raised his eyes and replied, "Didn't you send someone to investigate me?"
Being asked by him like this, I was at a loss for a while.
Chang Yulin is the kind of person who can feel even if he is smiling at you, he can penetrate into your soul just from your eyes, and then penetrate everything. So in front of people like him, telling lies is like showing yourself naked under his gaze.
I had no choice but to tell the truth: "You have appeared in my range of activities again and again, and you seem to have a close relationship with the Pei family, of course I will investigate you in order to ensure the smooth progress of the mission." ”
"If you want to know something, you might as well just ask me. Chang Yulin said lightly.
"Okay! I really didn't look into anything anyway!"
When I encounter such a good opportunity, I will not be polite: "What is your relationship with the Pei family?"
"Business partnerships. Chang Yulin replied without thinking.
I rolled my eyes: "Then what is the relationship between you and Li Yuanxiang?"
"He doesn't even qualify to be my subordinate. Chang Yulin said with some disdain.
"What about you and Guo Nuo?" I asked before he could finish speaking.
Chang Yulin didn't answer me immediately this time, he picked up the soda on the table and took a sip. Then he smiled at me, and I lost my mind, and then I heard him say, "That's the question you want to ask the most, right?"
I looked down a little embarrassed to avoid his gaze: "Not really." ”
"Hehehe", Chang Yulin smiled, and his voice was very good: "If I tell you that we are in competition, do you believe it?"
I frowned, let go, and tried to look relaxed and asked, "Is there business competition?"
Chang Yulin: "It's not just business competition. ”
Without waiting for me to have any more time to talk, Chang Yulin received a call from work, and he told me that he had a call coming and that I could go to the garden by myself.
He walked into the study, the door was quickly shut, and I suddenly found a sense of loss in my heart. Standing at the door, I could only hear him discussing something with the other party in authentic English, and listening to the voice, it seemed that there were several people online at the same time. I held my breath and eavesdropped on the door panel for a few minutes, and found that I could neither hear nor understand, so I had to run out into the yard by myself.
The yard of Chang Yulin's house is large, but it is not coarse. On the contrary, whether it is the lilies and peonies planted around the lawn in the front yard, or the green maple and apple trees in the backyard, they are all planned to be scattered and densely combined, giving people a sense of unintentional refinement. This is also Chang Yulin's own style.
My favorite in this yard is a clumsy and cosy cabin under the apple trees, a bit larger than a kennel for a pet dog, but not big enough for an adult.
The cottage was a little out of place with the delicate garden, and its appearance was unusually clean, which made me wonder how a hut placed outdoors under the trees and by the lawn could be so clean, and even if it was maintained by a gardener, there should always be water stains left by the garden's watering? Unless, someone was deliberately maintaining the little hut.
I stepped over the stone slab to the hut and found that there was a small lock on the door. I reached out and removed the diamond stud earrings from my pinna, straightened the buckle and poked it into the lock to open the small lock.
To my disappointment, however, it was filled with toys, a large jar of glass beads, a few clay animals, and two small fishing nets. These things were scattered around the cabin and were not deliberately organized. It's as if someone has just played with them, just accidentally lost track of time and hasn't come back for a long time to pick it up again.
I re-locked the hut and slipped back to the villa, only to find myself hungry. When I opened the refrigerator, there were a few eggs and a raw steak that seemed to be very fresh, but unfortunately I didn't know how to make steaks, and Chang Yulin's family didn't seem to have an aunt to help with housekeeping. I looked at my phone, Chang Yulin's call had been on the phone for more than an hour, and I didn't know how long he would have to call. Outside, the sky had become darker. When the drowsiness hit, I pulled up the blanket on the couch and curled up, and soon fell asleep.
"May, get up, let's go eat. "Good listening voice.... Kind of like my grandfather.
I don't want to get up, if only I could listen to my grandfather's voice again.
"If you don't get up again, I'll go to supper by myself. ”
Oh, it turned out to be a rainforest...... I sat up a little disappointed and a little happy, and asked sleepily, "What to eat?"
Chang Yulin seemed to think I was funny, but he couldn't hold back his laughter: "You know how to eat!"
"You know the job, you!" I retorted. But after saying this, I was stunned first, this is like the daily chatter of an old husband and wife.
Chang Yulin didn't seem to have any special reaction, he picked up a new set of clothes from the sofa next to him and handed it to me: "I just bought it, you can give it a try!"
"So fast?!" I reached for the garment and found it to be a sapphire blue three-quarter-sleeved dress.
"It seems that you don't have a full understanding of the degree of development of logistics in our country, remember" his voice is calm and confident: "It is the first in the world." ”
I sat in my seat in the dining room and looked around, and there was always a sense of dissonance, and after a moment I understood where this feeling came from, it was my clothes!
"Sir, did you think about where you were going to take me to eat when you bought me this outfit?" I asked angrily as I looked at the man across from me who skillfully skewered the skewers into the chili sauce with chopsticks.
"People who eat and drink are not qualified to ask questions. Chang Yulin didn't even lift his eyelids.
I'm actually very hungry, but I really can't swallow this breath, Chang Yulin bought me a silk dress from ba&sh, and wearing this outfit to eat skewers makes me look too "special".
"Here's it for you! Don't talk so much if you have a mouth. Chang Yulin picked up my spice plate in front of him, then pulled out a few chicken skewers from the red oil pot, and then took a pair of chopsticks that no one had used to pick the chicken onto my plate.
As soon as I had to go down the stairs, I immediately softened my voice: "Thank you! That, I saw that there was only steak in the refrigerator at your house, and I thought you didn't like to eat these things!"
Chang Yulin may have eaten too many spicy things, and his face was slightly red at this time, "I didn't buy those." ”
I was in the mood of seeing the sunny day and was inexplicably drenched in the rain, but I could only turn depression into food, after all, Chang Yulin and I are even far-fetched to be friends.
The advantage of the spicy taste is that the more you eat it, the more fragrant it becomes, and when the fifth wave of skewers from the everlasting rainforest was also wiped out by us, I finally felt like I had made it a little bit.
"Have you eaten well?" Chang Yulin didn't seem to have a lot of food, and after eating, he completely became a "bystander".
I looked at him proudly: "You're just full! You're not as big as I am!
Chang Yulin looked at me like an idiot: "It's you who should be reviewed, right? Let's go, let's go to the next place." ”
"What, and somewhere, I'm full!" I suddenly felt that I was not only full, but almost blocked my throat.
"Life isn't all about eating. Chang Yulin's playful expression returned.
