When the white crane opened his eyes, the place he was looking at was unfamiliar.

It's not her cramped dormitory room, nor is it the bright and spacious little bedroom that doesn't belong to her.

"Good morning, you're awake." At the moment when she sat up from the bed, Zhuang Yan's voice came at the right time.

Bai Hetaro followed the sound to see her, Zhuang Yan was wearing a black silk suspender nightdress, revealing a large area of snow-white skin on her chest, Bai Hetaro couldn't help but think of the exciting □□...... last night She slept with a woman she had only met twice in the middle of nowhere......

If her mom and dad were still alive, they might break her legs and be expelled from the house.

Thinking of this, she felt a dull pain in her head, and couldn't help but cover her face that was starting to get hot.

Zhuang Yan walked in with a calm expression, "Did you sleep well?" ”

Thinking about what this person did to him last night, Bai Hetaro couldn't help but blush and looked away.

It's not good at all, because he was pressed on the car door by this person last night and kissed and touched, Bai Hetaro's back hurts today.

But Bai Hetaro still nodded: "It's good." ”

In order to avoid thinking about last night's events, Bai Hetaro decided to change the topic: "This is your home?" ”

She was afraid that Zhuang Yan would mention it, and she didn't know how to respond.

But Zhuang Yan acted as if nothing had happened at all last night, and her attitude was very natural.

"No, home? Don't say that," Zhuang Yan walked straight to the small table on the side of the room, with her back to Bai Hetaro, not knowing what she was doing, "--Actually, my home is in the United States, and this is just one of my houses. ”

White Crane Taro: "......"

This tone ...... Bai Hetaro finally didn't hold back, she rolled her eyes.

"This is my villa in the Huaishui villa area, and from now on, you will live here." Zhuang Yan said again.

Bai Crane taro looked around, this is obviously the bedroom, full of modern simple design, very fashionable, simple, floor-to-ceiling window design appears spacious and bright interior, the combination of the main color white and the auxiliary color mustard green, it feels very fresh and comfortable.

But there is very little furniture here, except for some necessary others, the interior is empty, and there are no traces of use of the existing furniture, and the new ones are a little unnatural.

"You rarely live here." Bai Crane Taro came to a conclusion.

"Yes, I've already sued you, I've been in the United States most of the time, and I bought this house not long ago." Zhuang Yan finally turned around, and Bai Hetaro realized what she was doing just now - she was soaking oatmeal rings in milk.

There was a silver spoon missing from the glass she had brought in.

There were also leftover granola rings and milk cartons on the table.

Bai Hetaro thought it was the breakfast that Zhuang Yan had prepared for her...... Well, after all, she's still in bed, and she's uncomfortable up and down - and who's going to soak oats in the bedroom?

Although she didn't wash, Bai Hetaro felt that she was too uncomfortable today, and she could be a little willful.

So she sat there and waited for Zhuang Yan to hand over the cup - she was still in pain and her head was a little groggy.

But Zhuang Yan's action was obviously unexpected—she stirred the silver spoon twice, picked up the cup and ate it.

White Crane Taro: "......"

Zhuang Yan eats slowly, but not slowly.

"It's eight o'clock," she reminded her, looking at her watch, "it's time for you to get up, sleeping won't do your body any good." ”

Bai Hetaro opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he could only say: "But I feel that my body hurts......"

When she said this, Zhuang Yan had already walked out of the room with a cup, so Bai Hetaro only vaguely heard a sentence "You should exercise".

White Crane Taro: "......"

Is this the normal way things are going? Although she is unemployed, is this the attitude of the gold owner? Isn't it true that the owner of the money will respond to his requests?

…… However, Bai Hetaro put this pattern on her and Zhuang Yan, and couldn't help but shiver all over.

They're still a little weird.

She got up from the bed in resignation, folded the quilt, and opened the window—it was her habit, and even though the family was well-off, her mother had taught her that way since she had been a child, and she kept it wherever she went.

"Oh, you're in good habits."

Bai Hetaro was stunned for a moment, turned around and saw that Zhuang Yan appeared at the door again.

In just a few minutes, Zhuang Yan had already changed her clothes and painted her makeup, and her makeup was as delicate and aggressive as she had seen before.

She wore a gray-black cocktail dress, a bit like the classic one in "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

"Are you going out?" Bai Hetaro asked subconsciously.

Zhuang Yan wondered: "Why do you ask that." ”

I don't usually wear it like this at home.

But Bai Hetaro didn't say it, she changed to a more euphemistic expression: "I see that you have changed your clothes." ”

Zhuang Yan raised her eyebrows: "Don't you need to wear clothes at home?" ”

White Crane Taro: "......"

"But I'm really not going to go out, I'm going to have a meeting, and it's you who are going out—" Zhuang Yan said again, "It's all my stuff, and there are no spare ones, that is, there are no spare toiletries, you need to buy them yourself." ”

"It's full of my stuff," Zhuang Yan said, "and I just bought the house, but I don't have a lot of stuff, and I don't have any spare, which means that there are no spare toiletries, so you need to buy them yourself -- there's a convenience store nearby." ”

White Crane Taro: "...... I want to take a bath. ”

"Oh, take a bath," Zhuang Yan paused, "the bathroom is next to it—if you don't mind using something I've used." ”

At that moment, Bai Heyu felt that Zhuang Yan was a very magical person, and as for what kind of magic Cheng dù could be, she thought that she would be able to understand it more in the future.

Bai Hetaro hurriedly took a bath, put on yesterday's clothes, and went downstairs to buy something.

What she didn't know was that when she was leaving, Zhuang Yan had been watching her leave from the window of her room.

At this moment, Zhuang Yan's heart is full of contradictions, she cares, she doesn't want to be too close to Bai Hetaro, and entangled, since she doesn't want to be too entangled with her, then let her live here, what is it for?

***

White Crane taro makes breakfast in the kitchen.

The ingredients were bought by her in the supermarket, as well as the dishes and chopsticks - Zhuang Yan didn't even have dishes and chopsticks at home.

Bai Hetaro has been pampered since she was a child, and she can do a limited amount, but Zhuang Yan is absolutely impossible to make breakfast for her - whether Zhuang Yan can cook is still unknown, and depending on Zhuang Yan's attitude towards her, she wants to take care of herself in this house, and it is best to be self-sufficient.

It's like having one more roommate.

Bai Tsuru taro thought.

She knew that Zhuang Yan was now holding an online conference in her study, where the time was half past eight in the morning and the evening in the United States.

Bai Hetaro thought at the same time, it was very hard for her to catch up with the jet lag like this, I don't know why, after last night, her focus always drifted to Zhuang Yan inexplicably.

Maybe it's because it's so fresh.

The eggs were a little burnt, but Bai Hetaro still forgave herself, she finished the breakfast, and was about to clean up the dishes when Zhuang Yan also happened to come out of the study.

The four eyes met.

The expression on Zhuang Yan's face was a little unpleasant.

Bai Hetaro wanted to ask what was wrong, but she felt that it seemed that it was not good to ask.

She was selectively silent.

Zhuang Yan noticed her movements and asked casually, "You bought a bowl?" ”

"Hmmm......"

"Did you buy mine?"

“…… Yes? ”

White crane taro's eyes widened.

Zhuang Yan raised her eyebrows: "Don't I have to eat?" ”

Bai Hetaro hurriedly said, "I bought it." ”

Although Bai Hetaro is down, she is still a person who pays attention to the quality of life, she buys dishes, does not buy good ones, does not buy cheap ones, and picks good-looking ones to buy.

Zhuang Yan looked at the dishes on the table, retro style, all shining.

"Convenience stores have this?"

“…… I also went to Parkson. ”

Zhuang Yan didn't speak again, she walked to the living room, turned on the TV, Bai Hetaro glanced at it secretly, she was changing the channel indiscriminately, with an indescribable impatience on her face, and finally settled on the fashion channel.

This channel happened to be showing the catwalk of INES's early spring dress show.

said that it was an early year, but in fact, it was not early, Bai Crane taro looked at it, and it was probably released the year before last.

This issue is very special, the background of the overpass is set up in the shape of a forest, and the models on the stage are all fresh makeup and bright clothes.

Ines' clothing is exquisite, elegant and luxurious, but this collection is different from previous designs, with a hint of playfulness and liveliness, using a large number of bows, pearls, lace and other elements, and even the accessories are selected in bright colors.

The models are light and light, like cheerful elves in the forest.

When I was still in college, I learned that this series broke the dull pattern of the previous INES series, and it was playful and cute without losing the original elegant characteristics of INES, which was well received in the industry.

The dress that Wang Xiangting lent her is one of the pieces in this collection.

"Do you think it's pretty?" Zhuang Yan suddenly spoke.

Bai Hetaro was stunned for a moment, and then realized that she was talking about the ines series of costumes.

"Well, it's beautiful," said Bai Crane Taro truthfully, "the colors are well matched, the cut is very fine, it flatters the figure, the clothes are not cheap, and the style is in line with the spring theme." ”

"Really?" Zhuang Yan responded casually, reached out and touched something, Bai Hetaro guessed that she wanted to smoke, but there was no smoke here, so Zhuang Yan retracted her hand.

Bai Hetaro sensitively realized: Zhuang Yan didn't seem to like this series of clothes.

But after thinking about it, this is understandable, although the clothes in this series are produced by INES, but the colors are bright, more provocative, and suitable for people and occasions that are less strict.

She thought that Zhuang Yan was like that when she participated in the pie, she also felt understandable.

"This series seems to be co-designed," Mr. Bai said, "and I've seen a little bit of coverage." ”

Zhuang Yan did not speak.

At the end of this catwalk, the designer came out for a curtain call, and the two girls walked out hand in hand.

Both are young, one blonde and the other Asian.

"Are you going to get something?" Zhuang Yan suddenly asked.

Bai Hetaro didn't turn the corner for a while: "Take what?" ”

"You're going to live here, you should be staying here for a long time, you have something where you lived before, do you want to bring it?" Zhuang Yan turned her head, she put on a little golden brown eyeshadow and a big red lipstick, which made her look very popular.

"Take you there." Zhuang Yan said again.

Bai Hetaro subconsciously wanted to refuse, but Zhuang Yan's face was indifferent, with an irresistible feeling.

The red Bentley turned into the crooked alley and stopped all the way downstairs in the dormitory.

Bai Hetaro paused for a moment, feeling uncomfortable all over.

She was about to open her mouth and ask Zhuang Yan to wait here for a while, and she promised that she would clean it up as quickly as possible.

But Zhuang Yan raised her eyebrows and glanced upstairs, and suddenly said, "Don't you invite me to go up and sit for a while?" ”

"What ......"

"There's nothing to sit on," Bai Hetaro refused, "Living with others is very small and messy, you shouldn't get used to it." ”

Zhuang Yan didn't speak, she opened the car door and walked out, Bai Hetaro hurriedly got out of the car, Zhuang Yan raised her feet and walked up, Bai Hetaro had to take two quick steps and walked in front of Zhuang Yan, Zhuang Yan just followed behind Bai Hetaro and told her own decision with action.

Bai Crane Taro opened the door hard.

Wang Xiangting was not in the dormitory, I don't know where she went, there was no one in the room.

Zhuang Yan looked around.

As Bai Hetaro himself said, this place is really messy, maybe because it is small, and the clothes and cosmetics are all messed up - but most of those things are Wang Xiangting's.

"It's nothing," said the white crane, "soon." ”

Zhuang Yan's gaze stayed on the pile of scattered cosmetics on the coffee table, with a playful look in her eyes.

"That's not my ......," Hakuru whispered.

Zhuang Yan didn't speak, she slowly walked to the magazine shelf that Wang Xiangting had put on, which used to be where Ran Die put things, and Bai Hetaro thought that Zhuang Yan might want to read magazines there for a while.

So she let Zhuang Yan go, she went into her room and packed all her clothes.

All she had was that, and the rest was in the house that was going to be redeemed for five million.

When she walked out of the door, Zhuang Yan was really reading a magazine, Wang Xiangting had all kinds of messy magazines, because of her high ambitions, and even some foreign English magazines, Zhuang Yan read one of the "Vanity Fair", "Vanity Fair" As the name suggests, the reporting objects are mostly upper-class people, acting stars, and fashion pioneers, but due to foreign distribution, most of the reports are foreigners.

This cover photo shows three people, two men and one woman, the woman is wearing a black pearl trim dress sitting in a red chair, Bai Hetaro knows this dress, it is INES haute couture, and there are two men standing behind her, also wearing INES custom suits.

The three of them were all blonde foreigners, young and delicate-looking, and with extraordinary bearing, like characters coming out of a painting, Bai Hetaro felt as if he had seen the middle one in another magazine, but he couldn't remember it for a long time, until he saw the title under the cover.

"Windsor family."

Only then did she remember that these three people were the most direct heirs of the windsor group, in charge of different fields, that is, Zhuang Yan's top boss?

Zhuang Yan stared at the magazine, seemingly a little distracted, and didn't know if she was really reading the magazine.

Bai Hetaro didn't know if she should remind her at this time, but before she could decide, Zhuang Yan stood up by herself.

She put the magazine back on the shelf.

"Are you alright?" She turned her head and asked Bai Hetaro.

Bai Hetaro nodded.

"Hmm."

Bai Hetaro inexplicably felt that Zhuang Yan seemed to be a little absent-minded.

Ever since she saw that magazine......

Bai Hetaro thought to himself, maybe it had something to do with those three people.

Her instinct told her that she shouldn't have asked, but her curiosity seemed to come back to her senses.

Even she didn't realize that as long as she was with Zhuang Yan, even she herself began to become less like the silent and introverted self.

As the suitcase went downstairs, there was a clear sound of collision.

Zhuang Yan opened the trunk and asked Bai Heyu to put the box in.

She really has very little stuff, and here is all she has.

Until Bai Hetaro got into the car, Zhuang Yan remained silent.

Bai Hetaro moved his lips, wanting to say something, but he still didn't say it, and the feeling of embarrassment rose again.

"What do you want to say?" Zhuang Yan suddenly spoke.

Bai Hetaro was taken aback: "What? ”

"You've been peeking at me, do you think I can't feel it?" Zhuang Yan drove the car expressionlessly, "Say whatever you want, just say it, I've already said it, I don't like people to have reservations about me - even if you have questions about me." ”

The white crane taro lowered his head.

Zhuang Yan frowned without a trace.

Bai Hetaro said: "I don't mean to snoop on you, but you don't want me to hold back on you. ”

What she meant was, no matter what, you asked me to ask you, and the responsibility was not on me.

"Yes," Zhuang Yan said, "if I can answer, I will sue you." ”

Is that so?

Bai Hetaro thought about it, but still said: "I think you read that magazine, it seems to be a little ...... I'm sorry, I don't know how to say it, maybe it's a little bit wrong. ”

Zhuang Yan's originally natural expression changed suddenly, and Bai Heyu was startled, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to ......"

Zhuang Yan pressed her eyebrows: "It's not your question, I asked you to ask." ”

On the traffic light in the distance, the yellow light jumped and jumped, and finally froze on the red light.

There was a stalemate in the carriage.

Suddenly, Zhuang Yan said, "Do you know why I returned to China? ”

Bai Crane Taro shook his head.

"Come here and do a job that I don't know anything about," Zhuang Yan said slowly, "What is it for?" ”

"A lot of people say I'm banished here, but I know I'm just running away."

Zhuang Yan's tone was very light, as if she was talking to herself, and she didn't know who to tell it to.

"I actually applied on my own initiative to explore the Asian market," Zhuang said, "and everyone was surprised because it was not my area of expertise – but I didn't come here to prove that I could do it." ”

"I'm just ......"

"I'm just running away, you know? I don't want to face ......."

Zhuang Yan turned her head, looked at Bai Hetaro, and smiled.

The white crane taro seems to understand whether it understands or not.

She didn't understand what Zhuang Yan meant by escaping, and she didn't understand what Zhuang Yan was running away.

What Bai Hetaro wanted to say, she felt that probably not everyone could be brave enough to face one thing, human beings always have weaknesses, but she couldn't say it.

Zhuang Yan is obviously not a person who is willing to talk about this to someone who has just come into contact, she said this, but only because she accidentally touched a switch, a switch for Zhuang Yan to vent.

It's a pity that she can't comfort her.

Zhuang Yan's eyes stayed on the traffic light, and when the green light came on, she stepped on the accelerator.

"I don't think you know this, right, in fact, you just need to do what you should do, and that's fine."

Finally, she said this to Bai Hetaro.
