The woman in the photo is wearing a small black top hat and a black skirt, standing in the light, her skin is snow-white, only the two small lips that are slightly upturned are bright red.

No wonder, as soon as she saw Ran Xixi, Sister-in-law Chen recognized that her photo was indeed hanging in her home, and it was still the size of a whole wall.

Ran Xixi walked over, stretched out his hand and brushed it gently, knowing that this was arranged by Qiao Sijie, because this photo was passed on to him by her, and it was only shown to him alone, and even the colleagues around him had not shared it.

She was also very happy with the photo, and still remembers that after the class assignment was handed in, the teacher gave them the highest score in this group.

A local classmate who was usually a little racist was not convinced, and joked with the teacher, saying that he would analyze what was good about it, whether it was the lighting, the composition, or the post-editing.

The teacher smiled, and the model was beautiful.

One sentence blocked the whole class.

In the era of face brushing, even beauty has become an invisible capital.

Because he was satisfied, Ran Xixi sent it to Qiao Sijie, and the original purpose was just to reassure him that he was doing well abroad, learning languages while making up for various fashion knowledge, and going to school to listen to photography classes on weekends.

What he didn't expect was that he secretly enlarged the photo and arranged it here.

Ran Xixi touched it again, and couldn't tell what kind of material it was for the time being, it seemed to be sprayed with paint, and it seemed to be pasted on, the portrait was lifelike, not distorted, and oil-proof and waterproof, not stained with fingerprints. Tree like a web address: Closing the Mouth and Heart Chapter

She sighed, turned and walked out, closing the door softly.

The idea of resignation lingered in my mind for nearly two days, and during these two days, Zhonghai had been raining abundantly, and it was not until Sunday afternoon that the sky gradually cleared up, revealing the sun that had not been seen for a long time.

Under all kinds of online violence, Ran Xixi has regained a little bit of her ostrich nature, she doesn't look at it, she doesn't defend herself, her mobile phone is still set up with a firewall, and strange numbers can't call in or send text messages, she simply evaporates from the world when she is on the cusp.

During this period, Kong Miaomiao called twice, both asking her if she was eating well and sleeping well, and was very worried that she would be affected.

Putting down the phone, Ran Xixi touched her obviously rounded cheeks, and looked at herself in the mirror with a much better complexion, thinking to herself, sure enough, she is still the family's food supporter, and after eating a few meals cooked by Sister-in-law Chen, she seems to have gained a little weight.

A blessing in disguise.

Seeing that the weather outside was good, Ran Xixi also moved a chair and sat on the balcony outside the master bedroom on the second floor to drink tea, read books, and bask in the sun.

Not long after she sat down, she heard the sound of a car in the distance.

Someone's coming

The son or friend of the Zhan Xingchuan Kong Miao Miao Da Chen couple

Ran Xixi was a little unsure, but she was obviously a little nervous, closing the book, she stood on the balcony, her arms folded, squinting at the road in front of the small bungalow, and looked at it quite vigilantly.

Sure enough, a black sedan slowly stopped in the open space in front of the house.

The driver gets out of the car first and pulls the car door.

A pair of elegant handmade cowhide shoes first come into view, the upper is spotless, the light is recognizable, the trousers are pressed in a regular manner, without wrinkles, and then upwards, are straight and slender legs, wrapped in well-made suit pants.

Ran Xixi held her breath, looked over, and saw a familiar face.

Jossy

He got out of the car, looked up at the small bungalow in front of him, and naturally saw Ran Xixi, who was facing him and standing next to the handrail of the balcony on the second floor.

When they looked at each other, the eyes of the two people were wrong for each other, and for a moment, they seemed to have a feeling like they were in a dream.

It's been more than a year since I've seen each other.

After Ran Xixi went abroad, she never returned to Zhonghai, and later once, Qiao Sijie went to the United Kingdom for a meeting, and "by the way" went to Paris to visit her. Although, he said that he was on the way, but she knew that no matter how close Britain and France were, there was no such way, it was just that he wanted to see himself.

After that, both of them were busy and never saw each other again.

Qiao Sijie stood in place for a long time, raised his head, and looked at Ran Xixi, until his neck hurt a little, he didn't change his posture, he was still motionless. And then she realized that she shouldn't just stand stupidly on the balcony, so she rushed downstairs quickly, fluttering like a butterfly, trotting in front of him.

"When did you come back?"

Ran Xixi was panting, his eyes were full of uncontrollable surprise, and asked loudly.

He looked at her, pulled the strand of hair from her cheeks behind her ear because she was running, and then replied with a smile, "I got off the plane forty minutes ago." ”

It was clear that as soon as he landed, he went straight here.

Ran Xixi stared at Qiao Sijie's eyes, and sure enough, he caught a trace of tiredness that was not easy to be noticed, and hurriedly let him enter the door.

Da Chen and his wife also greeted him and said hello repeatedly.

They've seen each other, so it's more natural and casual to talk.

"Mr. Joe is really back, and I just said it casually"

Sister-in-law Chen smiled a little embarrassedly.

Ran Xixi suddenly realized, no wonder he would suddenly return to Zhonghai, it turned out that it was Sister-in-law Chen who inadvertently revealed the news of her place to Qiao Sijie, so he immediately bought a ticket and came back.

"It's been a long time since I've been back, and I was going to come back to see it. Besides, she's back, isn't she? ”

Qiao Sijie was always gentle, there was no shelf on his body, he said naturally, and then glanced at Ran Xixi, his expression was calm, as if he was doing a normal thing.

Although everyone had a lot to say, considering that Qiao Sijie had just gotten off the plane and needed to rest, Ran Xixi still forced him to go upstairs to rest first.

He didn't want to waste a minute or a second, he just wanted to sit down and chat with her, however, seeing her resolute attitude, Qiao Sijie had to take a nap first.

Da Chen carried Qiao Sijie's suitcase and walked up to the second floor with him.

"Miss Ran, I—I didn't mean to. Mr. Qiao would call almost every month to talk to us, and I didn't think much about it, so I just said it."

Sister-in-law Chen said with some embarrassment, worried that Ran Xixi would regard herself as a long-tongued woman who chewed the root of her tongue behind her back.

Ran Xixi smiled: "I know, I don't think much about it, I'm also very happy to see him." ”

Hearing her say this, Sister-in-law Chen was relieved, and she immediately went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, planning to cook a few more good dishes to wash the dust for Qiao Sijie's return to China.

After only forty minutes of sleep, Qiao Sijie went downstairs.

He changed into loose lounge clothes, because he was sleeping, so his hair was slightly messy, and because of his clothes, he looked younger than his actual age, and the image of the elite on weekdays was very different.

Ran Xixi was sitting in the living room, concentrating on peeling chestnuts with chestnut hands.

She had a white jade plate in her hand, and there were already more than two dozen round and complete chestnut meat neatly arranged in it, and in the trash can at her feet was a pile of shells.

Hearing the voice, Ran Xixi raised his head, and the corners of his mouth bloomed: "You're awake"

For a moment, Qiao Sijie felt that his heart was about to melt.

Seeing this kind of smile, not to mention long-distance flights, and even on the plane to seize the time to deal with official business, even if it is a little more tiring, it is worth it. Standing in place for a while, Qiao Sijie walked over and leaned over slightly: "What are you doing?"

Ran Xixi lowered his head again, continued the movements in his hands, and said with a smile: "Peel it for you, I thought you could sleep a little longer and let me peel out a plate, but I didn't get it much, you actually woke up and didn't give me a chance to perform." ”

Qiao Sijie prefers to eat chestnuts, but he doesn't like to peel them himself, Ran Xixi accidentally knew about it, so he did it himself.

"Try it, it was also sent by Da Chen's comrades-in-arms, it was planted in my hometown, and it must taste very good. ”

She pushed over the white porcelain plate and motioned for Qiao Sijie to eat first.

He twisted one, but instead of putting it in his mouth, he fed it directly to her.

Ran Xixi couldn't help but hesitate: "I don't want it, you can eat it."

But he insisted on doing so, still holding his arm, and a whole grain of chestnut meat was a little bit next to her mouth, and she had to eat it.

She had no choice but to reach out and take it and throw it into her mouth.

A little chewing, the tongue is fragrant, sweet, sweet, especially delicious.

Ran Xixi narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice: "Eat quickly, I'm not hungry at all, but now that I've eaten, I can't eat dinner again." ”

Qiao Sijie nodded, sat down beside her, and ate one grain at a time.

Neither of them spoke, but sitting together, there was no discomfort, one peeling, the other eating, there was actually a strange harmony. It's just that the peeling nature is not as fast as eating, and within two minutes, Qiao Sijie ate all the chestnut meat on the plate, and looked at Ran Xixi with a blank eye, like a child.

"Wait, I'm clumsy, I can't peel fast. ”

She said with a smile.

But Qiao Sijie had already stopped her: "Don't get it, my hands hurt, when I want to eat, I'll peel it myself." ”

Ran Xixi didn't pretend to be polite to him, put away his chestnut hands, cleaned up the coffee table, then went to wash his hands, made a pot of tea again, and brought it over.

She poured the tea, handed it to Qiao Sijie, thought about it and asked, "You suddenly ran back, the company's business is really fine?"

He took it, took a sip, and sighed: "No matter how busy you are, you want me to take a breath, I have never taken a vacation, and there are probably not many employees like me in the world." ”

Qiao Sijie is telling the truth, since Qiao Yanne ran away alone, the physical condition of Qiao Rin and his wife has plummeted, and the husband and wife basically no longer care about the company's business, and all of them have fallen on the eldest son. In addition, in the past few years, Qiao Sijie's major and minor affairs have also been dealt with by Qiao Sijie, it is really candles burning at both ends and sugarcane being eaten at both ends, and no one can stand it.

As soon as he heard this, when it came to the Qiao family, Ran Xixi couldn't say anything. Moreover, although she knew that Qiao Yanne had secretly married abroad, she would not rashly tell Qiao Sijie the news, for fear that he would make some radical moves in anger, and she had to find an appropriate opportunity to reveal it to him little by little. ~ Good search basket color, you can read the following chapters as soon as possible
