Chapter 34: Heartbeat

Su Ji let go of Mu Jincheng's collar, took a step back, and turned to leave.

Mu Jincheng stood in place, looking at her departing back, and involuntarily breathed a long sigh of relief.

Not long after Su Ji left, he was taken away by Cheng Cheng, and the press conference was about to officially begin, and the guests sat down one after another, and soon, except for the stage, all the lights in other places were dimmed.

Su Ji walked on the stage and became the most dazzling person tonight, Mu Jincheng only came out of the corner at this time, stood in the dark and looked at her on the stage.

On the display table on the stage, there are three bottles of perfume, the bottle has a bit of the shadow of a snuff bottle, translucent and colorless, in front of the bottle body, painted a Jiangnan cheongsam woman, the painting technique is retro, like the painting style of the old Shanghai street poster, narrow eyes, graceful posture, it looks very tasteful.

The women depicted in the three bottles are all different, one is a woman in a white plain dress, her eyes are lowered, and her appearance is quiet; the woman on it is wearing a vermilion cheongsam, half-squinting, and her temperament is charming; and the other is wearing a black cheongsam, red lips, and slightly raised eyebrows and eyes, which is lazy and noble, which is somewhat consistent with Su Ji's appearance at this time.

Su Ji successively introduced the inspiration of two bottles, and finally, picked up the last bottle, the bottle of perfume painted with a woman in white, and said: "The last bottle of 'Jiangnan', I was inspired by my mother, she is a typical Jiangnan woman, the smell of this perfume, just like her, makes people feel very gentle and peaceful." She usually likes to wear cheongsam, just as beautiful as the woman painted on this bottle, when I was a child, I loved to watch my mother play the guzheng, my mother played the guzheng very well, influenced by her, I also learned the guzheng for a while. ”

She said with a hook of the corners of her mouth, and her eyes showed a little playfulness, and said: "Today, I will show an ugly appearance in front of you, play a song, remember the time when I was a child, and also cheer up this press conference, I haven't played it for a long time, if there is a place where I don't play well, I hope you don't hear it, okay?"

Su Ji said, the staff had already arranged the guzheng that had been prepared a long time ago, Su Ji untied the fur shawl on his body, handed it to Cheng Cheng, and then walked to the back of the guzheng and sat down, pressing it around, and a beam of light hit her.

She put her hand on the strings, she really hadn't practiced for a long time, and she hadn't moved the strings since that happened at home, when her mother was lying in the hospital and was worse off than dead.

I took a deep breath and brewed it before picking up the first string.

The sound of the piano poured out from between her fingertips like flowing water, flowing in the huge venue, and there was a slight response, the sound of the piano was subdued, soft and soft like water, and the scene suddenly had a sense of ghostly and ethereal.

Many people below were stunned, and the people on the stage were like Jiangnan women falling from the painting, making people unable to take their eyes off.

Mu Jincheng is no exception, it was the first time he knew that Su Ji would talk about the guzheng, and it was also the first time he saw her play the guzheng, which was the Su Ji he had never seen.

She lowered her eyes and looked at the strings, her expression was calm and focused, her left hand slid down, her right hand plucked the strings, the movements were gentle and powerful, and the soft sound of the piano at her fingertips was inclined out, and the movements were beautiful.

The sound of the piano fell on the ears of everyone at the scene, and also fell on Mu Jincheng's heart, disturbing his already unpeaceful heart.

"Zheng~"

After the last note, Su Ji slowly raised her hands, and the last sound of the piano echoed in the scene, until the sound fell, she raised her eyes to look at the audience, and slightly hooked her lips.

The lights on the stage were all on again, and everyone in the audience applauded, Cheng Cheng hurriedly stepped forward to put the shawl back on her, Su Ji put the shawl together, and then got up and walked back to the center of the stage.

She raised her hand, pressed her palm down slightly, and the applause from the audience gradually quieted down, she hooked her red lips and said, "I haven't practiced for a long time, I'm a little rusty, and I'm ugly." ”

The audience burst into applause again.

Mu Jincheng finally understands thoroughly now why she dared to say those words so confidently, because she has the capital to say that sentence, she is like the spokesperson of the word charm, every move, as long as she wants, no man can escape from her, she can only drown in her temptation and charm.

The press conference lasted for more than an hour and finally ended, it was already completely dark outside, and Mu Jincheng had just walked out of the venue, and there was a sound in his pocket.

He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a text message from Su Ji, and the content was only two short words: Wait for me.

Mu Jincheng looked at those two words, pursed his lips, then put the phone back in his pocket, and walked outside.

After leading people away, Mu Jincheng sat in the car, and through the window, he saw Su Ji slowly walking out of it, followed by Cheng Cheng.

Cheng Cheng asked while helping Su Ji hold the things: "Sister Su, I'll send you back first, and then take these things back to the studio." ”

Su Ji took the pearl clutch in his hand and said, "No need, you don't have to send me back, huh." ”

Cheng Cheng followed her gaze, then suddenly understood, and nodded with a smile: "Oh~ I see, since there is already a flower messenger, then of course I can't bother, I'll go first." ”

Su Ji hooked his lips and smiled: "You are interested!"

Cheng Cheng: "Then I'll go, Sister Su bye!"

"Bye!" Su Ji stood in place and waved his hand, and then his eyes turned to look at the car not far away, the corners of his mouth rose, but he didn't expect him to stay and wait for her.

Fang Zhou saw her coming, helped her open the car door, Su Ji got into the car, Mu Jin looked ahead without squinting, and soon felt a faint aroma mixed with a trace of imperceptible cosmetics, skimming the tip of his nose.

Smelling this faint fragrance, Mu Jincheng looked sideways, and immediately met Su Ji's gaze.

Su Jiluo smiled generously: "I didn't expect that you were really waiting for me." ”

Mu Jincheng let out a soft snort from his nose, did not speak, his gaze moved down, fell on her hands, and took advantage of the light above his head to see her reddened fingertips.

Only then did he remember that when she was wearing the guzheng just now, she did not have a righteous nail wrapped around her hands, but directly used her fingers to pluck the strings, the strings were hard, and the skin of her fingers was so delicate, there was not even a little callus, it must be red, swollen and even injured.

Seeing that his eyebrows suddenly frowned, Su Ji looked down along his line of sight, only to find that he was looking at his hand, she was stunned, and her palm turned up, exposing all her fingertips.

"Doesn't it hurt?" he asked, and Mu Jincheng waited for the words to finish before he reacted.

Su Ji lightly touched each other with the tips of his two fingers, and said with a smile: "It hurts, my nails are almost split, how can I not hurt." ”

Since the words had already begun, Mu Jincheng didn't twist anymore, and asked again: "Aren't you going to bring something with you when you play these?"

"Do you mean the righteous nails? Yes, I have, but in that situation just now, if I come to pester, it takes too much time, and I am useless. Su Ji said frankly, "But it's not in the way, take some medicine, it'll be fine in a day or two, it's nothing." ”

Hearing this, Mu Jincheng raised his eyes and glanced at her, seeing that her face was full of indifference, he suddenly let out a cold snort, turned his head and didn't want to look at her again.

Hearing his cold snort, Su Ji raised his eyes and looked over, hooked the corners of his mouth, stretched his fingers in front of him, and said, "Look at my hands, do you feel distressed?"

Mu Jincheng deliberately remained reserved, and snorted coldly: "Hmph, distressed? You think too much." ”

Hearing this, Su Ji didn't react much, just took his hand back, and didn't care much: "Okay, just forget if you don't feel distressed." ”

Listening to her words, Mu Jincheng couldn't help but glance at her, seeing her looking down at her hand, and when she was about to raise her head, she hurriedly withdrew her gaze.

Later, Su Ji said that he was going to take medicine, and the medicine was taken out, but he still forgot to wipe it, so he went to bed.

Mu Jincheng came out of the shower and saw the mint cream on the table, so he thought that she had been drugged and walked inside, but he didn't smell the mint cream in the air and asked, and he couldn't help but be suspicious.

The smell of peppermint paste is not light, if someone in the room uses it, there will be a residual smell of ointment in the air, could it be that she didn't take the medicine?

Thinking so, Mu Jincheng walked to the side of the bed, leaned down and sniffed it with his nose, and sure enough, there was no smell of mint cream, it seemed that she had indeed not taken the medicine.

I took out the medicine and didn't use it, what did I want to do? Or did I forget?

Mu Jincheng straightened his waist, looked at her condescendingly, and was entangled in his heart for a while, but decided not to care, if he was discovered, how embarrassed would he be, and he swore earlier that he would not be tempted by her, and at this time he came to help her with medicine, isn't this a slap in his face?

Thinking so, Mu Jincheng turned around and walked out, and saw the medicine bottle on the table as far as his eyes could see, and he couldn't help but stop.

He stared at the medicine bottle for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and forgot it.

Anyway, by tomorrow, the medicine will be absorbed, and the smell should be dispersed, and she shouldn't be able to find it.

Mu Jincheng picked up the ointment and cotton swab, walked back to the bed, sat down on the edge of the bed, gently grabbed her hand, spread out her palm, and dipped the cotton swab in some ointment, just like she did last time she gave him medicine, and gently wiped it on her fingertips.

The cold ointment was smeared on the hot fingertips, and Su Ji's originally frowning eyebrows unconsciously unfolded.

After taking the medicine, Mu Jincheng put the ointment and cotton swab back in their original position and left the room silently.

The next day, when Su Ji woke up, she obviously felt that the pain in her fingers had subsided a lot, her sense of smell had always been more sensitive than ordinary people, and she soon found a faint, faint smell of medicine remaining in the air.

She put her fingertips close to the tip of her nose and smelled it, sure enough, there was a smell of medicine, she remembered that she didn't take medicine last night, she forgot it, why can she smell medicine now?

Her eyes fell far on the medicine bottle on the table in the distance, could it be that someone had already helped her with medicine last night?

The thought that flashed in her mind made Su Ji's heart jump with joy, she lowered her eyes and looked at her hands, and the corners of her mouth involuntarily rose.

As soon as Mu Jincheng came in, he saw her sitting on the bed, staring at her hands, and couldn't help but chuckle in her heart, could it be that she had already found out?

He made himself act like he didn't know anything and walked to the locker room.

Hearing the movement, Su Ji looked up and saw that it was him, and couldn't help but speak: "Ah Jin!"

Mu Jincheng glanced at her when he heard this, frowning: "What?"

Su Ji looked at him as if he didn't know anything, and originally thought that he was wrong, but after thinking about it, there was no one else but him, probably because he was in the way of face, and he refused to admit it.

Thinking of this, Su Ji hooked his lips and smiled, and said, "It's okay, good morning!"

When Mu Jincheng saw her smiling appearance, he was suspicious in his heart, and then he responded slowly: "Well, it's early." ”

Later, Su Ji was ready to go downstairs, Xin Yuzhi had already heard about the press conference last night, and was surprised that Su Ji could play the guzheng.

"Xiaoji, I heard that during the press conference last night, you played the guzheng?"

Su Ji smiled and nodded: "Well, I played it for a while, I haven't played it for too long, and I don't play it well." ”

Xin Yu has always been fond of Chinese classical instruments and music, and when he learned that Su Ji could play the guzheng, his favorability towards her rose to another level: "I really didn't expect that you could also play the guzheng, and I haven't heard you talk about it." ”

Su Ji: "I haven't played for a long time, and my piano skills are not proficient, so it's not worth mentioning." ”

Mu Jincheng ate breakfast silently, listening to her words, he couldn't help but snort coldly in his heart, his piano skills were not good, and he took away the souls of many men at the scene last night.

"Hey, don't get in the way, next time you have time, you can play a clip for me. "The way of Xinyu.

"Good. Hearing this, Su Ji nodded obediently.

After Su Ji quickly finished the breakfast in front of him, he was about to leave first, Xin Yuzhi saw this, and couldn't help asking: "Xiaoji, do you want to eat more?"

"No need Mom, I still have something to do, go first, you use it slowly. Su Ji said, already walking to the living room, picking up the handbag on the sofa.

Xin Yuzhi saw that she really didn't eat much, and was afraid that she would be hungry early, so he asked, "What is the matter with the studio? ”

"It's not the studio's business, I have to pick up people, so I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up, you can eat, if I'm hungry later, I'll eat." Su Ji said, and before Xin Yuzhi could reply, he left in a hurry.

Xin Yuzhi looked at her anxious appearance, and couldn't help frowning: "Who is it, you have to pick it up so early." Ah Jin, do you know who Xiaoji is going to pick up?"

Mu Jincheng ate without raising his head: "How would I know." ”

Seeing this, Xin Yuzhi couldn't help but twist his eyebrows dissatisfied: "Tsk, why don't you know how to care about your wife until now." ”

"There are so many things in the company, I don't have time to take care of myself, so I still have time to care about her. He said, drank the last mouthful of porridge, and stood up, "I'm done, you eat slowly, I'm leaving." ”

Xin Yuzhi looked at these two and was depressed.

Su Ji drove the car and went directly to the airport, today is the day when Zhou Yuyang comes back from vacation, the plane will arrive at about 9 o'clock, and it will take at least an hour to get to the airport from the old month, so she is afraid that she will be late.

When Su Ji arrived at the pick-up gate in a hurry, Zhou Yuyang happened to pull the suitcase and walked out of it leisurely, and saw Su Ji at a glance.

His eyes lit up, then he threw down his suitcase and ran forward to pick up Su Ji and turn around.

"Sister, I almost miss you!"

Su Ji hurriedly patted him on the shoulder: "Hurry up and let me down, so many people are watching!"

Zhou Yuyang obediently put her down, leaned his head on her shoulder and rubbed it, and said coquettishly: "Sister, I really miss you to death." ”

Su Ji raised his hand and touched his head: "It's only been half a month, how can I say that I haven't seen him for half a year." ”

"I just miss you anyway. Zhou Yuyang said, let go of her, and looked at her, "Don't you want me?"

Su Ji looked at him like this, couldn't cry or laugh, and nodded dotingly: "Yes, of course I do." ”

Hearing this, Zhou Yuyang smiled again, Su Ji looked at his appearance, and couldn't help but sigh: "Why is it still like a child, I can't grow up." ”

He said angrily: "In my sister's place, I never want to grow up." ”

Su Ji was used to him like this, and said, "Okay, take the suitcase, we should go." ”
