Chapter 26: Shock and Awakening (I)

Beijing seems to be ushering in another warm winter, it is not very cold at this time, and the sun is common during the day. Out of the commissary, White Snake put on his silver-gray coat on his arm, and stood under a big tree on the side of the street with a bottle of latte in his hand. She was wrapped in a beige long-sleeved shirt wrapped in her coat, and her feet were confined by black high heels. Night had already enveloped the city, and the dazzling lights in the neighborhood could not wait to bloom, and if you just looked at the dress, it was obvious that she was a financial petty bourgeoisie who worked the street not far away to sow money, and came here to relax after work. White Snake felt that from time to time some guys cast ill-intentioned glances at him, thinking that nothing had been found in the past week's secret visits, and his heart became more and more depressed: I knew that it was better to pretend to be a supermarket waiter!

She had never worn this kind of outfit before Operation "Cradle", and she felt uncomfortable after putting it on. You must know that she has never been in contact with the so-called "white-collar beauties", let alone squeezed into their life circle. She had been "haunting" the area for two weeks, and she felt that her gestures were constrained by the clothes on her body, and in this mixed place, in the frequent contact of unfamiliar eyes, everything behaved extremely unnaturally. Just now I was thirsty to buy water at the commissary, but the same drink in this place is at least one piece five more expensive than the suburbs, I was going to pick a bottle of mineral water, and suddenly thought that the "financial elite" probably did not hesitate to drink this play, look at this latte and coffee, it should be more suitable for the identity. Even though she had to spend enough money to buy three bottles of mineral water, she still reluctantly bought it, and just unscrewed the lid to drink it, and felt that she had to "drink" like an elite. In the end, she was reluctant to drink it, and thought to herself: It is so expensive to take an iron, if you take copper, silver, and gold, how much will it cost?

These cranky thoughts did not interfere with her looking around, looking around to see if there were any suspicious targets, and to see if Zhuo Wu had arrived. Tonight is the two of them acting together, and before Zhuo Wu suggested, they pretend to be "elites" who come here to relieve the pressure of work, and if they come together, they will pretend to be a couple. She doesn't object – she likes fresh challenges, and has always pretended to be a single grassroots worker in the past, and this time the role of the "white-collar elite" is uncomfortable, but it may be interesting to change the other status. "Sorry, I'm late. Zhuogo's voice came from the back of her head, but it was gentle and didn't scare her. "It's fine. She smiled and twisted around Zhuogo's right arm, "Let's go shopping like we did last time." ”

Located east of the old imperial city of Beijing, Sanlitun is home to embassies of many countries in China, and the wide streets and alleys are lined with tall sentry-like trees. It is full of hotels and commercial buildings full of foreign flavors, as well as bars and singing every night. Crowds of people pass by every day, including a large number of foreigners, plus the daily inhabitants, and the place is always bustling with traffic day and night, far more lively than the alley outside Dante's house, which is now modeled after the night scene here.

The noisy music and shouting along the way lingered in my ears, and after a few strong "invites" to them to their own bar to "play", White Snake and Zhuo Wu walked into the narrow street. Leaning on the stiff arm of the burly "boyfriend", the white snake somehow seemed to always have a sense of unsteadiness, so her eyes swept over a few indiscreet figures, according to her experience, it was at most a few little hooligans who dared to tease the girl.

Zhuo Wu also tried his best to distinguish a few valuable faces, but his eyes in this area were not so sharp, plus here Chinese, Europeans and Americans, Middle Easterners, Southeast Asians, tall, short, good-faced, vicious, his most hated signature lights shook his eyes, even if he saw a few strange from face to behavior, he felt uncertain. In fact, he didn't want to come here for a simple reason - Xiaoping lived around here after she moved away, and he really didn't know how embarrassed he would be if he ran into her. But at the thought of the commanding majesty of the foolish prince when he assigned the task, he feared that if he objected on this ground, the current commander would be as furious as the previous one.

In the past, when Xiaoping dragged him shopping, the two of them just held hands, and pinched them dishonestly while walking, and they felt their hearts warm. Now on a mission with her colleagues, she tries her best to be realistic and make him feel an awkward intimacy.

"You're a bit half-hearted today. The cold sentence caught Zhuo Wu off guard. "Hmm...... What do you mean?" "We're here to squat, not to be in a daze. "Well, there's some trouble, and it's not about work. "Then don't think about it during working hours. "Alas, when I'm done and think about it, I'm afraid it's too late. "Is it so serious?

Zhuo Wu suddenly realized that White Snake was speaking her own words. "I've only seen White Snake say all sorts of things in a tone that mimics the character she plays in action, and I rarely see her speak when she's just herself, like when the group is in a meeting. This is what Dante told him. In the process of dealing with the group since joining the group, he has found that this is indeed the case, and he never thought that he would hear her words from the bottom of his mind tonight. "Do you want me to help?" these words suddenly ignited an inexplicable excitement in Zhuo Wu's heart, and a not-so-clever method suddenly popped out of his brain.

The two turned into a dimly lit secluded alley, where the white snake leaned against the wall at the entrance of the alley and continued to observe the bustling flow of people. "You say...... Let's pretend to be a couple, it's quite successful, right?" Seeing that there was no one left and right, Zhuo Wu asked with a frown. "Yes, in line with Yugong's requirements. Unfortunately, there is nothing to gain. Zhuo Wu looked at her, hesitated for half a minute, and then said, "Then are you willing...... We...... Not only in this mission?" "What?" "I mean ......" Zhuo Wu was about to explain, but saw the white snake's arm tremble slightly, and then her chest rose and fell violently, and her breathing became heavier and heavier, through the light outside the alley, Zhuo Wu saw that her face suddenly turned pale, and a pair of small eyes also opened wide, as if what he had just said was a shot of poison, which took effect immediately when it was pierced into her. Seeing that she couldn't stand, he hurriedly supported her and said hurriedly: "Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong!" It was my parents who called from my hometown, and they were afraid that I would be fired from my original company and girlfriend. I don't think they are at ease when they hear this, so they have to come to Beijing to see it during the Chinese New Year! It's easy to talk about the new job, but now I have to find a woman to pretend to be my girlfriend......

"Impersonation...... Originally...... I see. The white snake sat on the ground with his head in his hands, listened to his true intentions, took a few deep breaths, and slowly recovered his healthy complexion like yellow earth. Seeing her get better, Zhuo Wu's tense heartstrings also relaxed. "Yes, it's just pretending, don't get me wrong...... Are you alright?" "Are you alright...... Pretend, you think about it, you have watched too many TV series, right?It's easy to say, but I'm afraid I'll have to wait for the 'cradle' to be completed......" "Of course, of course ......" It seems that she is really fine, Zhuo Wu was about to help her up, her head unintentionally tilted outward, and her eyes suddenly stared at something. What's the matter? Zhuo Wu "groaned" in his heart. "Keep up with that guy. The White Snake's voice was soft, but it was like a command.
