85 Friendship and Love

The penthouse with apron is said to be popular among local tycoons in cosmopolitan cities. But because of its scarcity, money may not be able to buy it. So when Shu Neem bought a high-rise duplex mansion of thousands of square meters in Manhattan, she had to admit that Boss Gao was far more energetic than she imagined.

She was not afraid of leg pain and walked around Gao Min's penthouse, and finally collapsed on the curved sofa in the living room, looking around at the 270-degree panoramic glass window, the bright night outside the window, the Hudson River starlight, and the rows of high-rise buildings were illuminated like gold by neon and car lights...... It's beautiful.

Of course, she won't boast, doesn't that mean she recognizes the magic of money? Take in the bustling night view of New York City and feast your eyes on a ticket to the Empire State Building or the Aerial Tramway.

Be a tough man, and you must not be confused by money, Shu Neem straightened his spine and put on a posture of wealth and nobility, pretending to be indifferent, "Is it too big for you to live alone in this house?" What a waste! ”

"In the distribution of social wealth, human beings still continue the law of the jungle, and everyone strives to occupy more resources and expand more space, which is particularly reflected in the house."

Such a shameless capitalist argument, Shu Neem sneered, even the United States, a hegemonic country, still uses human rights as a fig leaf, and what country does not claim to support vulnerable groups? The distribution of resources is indeed unfair, but it is unpleasant to be exposed by one of the few people who occupy resources.

Glimpsing through Shu Neem's sour grapes psychology, Gao Min remained silent gentlemanly, smiled silently, and started to speak, "Hungry, right?" I'll prepare dinner for you."

Shu Neem's face burned badly, and finally had the consciousness of being a guest, taking other people's planes, living in other people's houses, eating other people's cooking, and arguing with others, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is as big as a basin. After self-examination, he thickened his face and laughed a few times, "Let's eat simply, this point in China is breakfast time, I usually deal with it casually, and then I have no appetite for jet lag."

Gao Min turned around with a smile, and said something that made it impossible to refuse, "I ask myself if I can do it, and I will never teach you to lose your appetite."

Shu Neem changed into casual clothes and leaned against the bar to watch Gao Minxiu's cooking.

A white shirt and black trousers tied with a knotted apron, holding a spray gun, meticulously grilling salmon.

The whole person exudes an inquiring sense of abstinence.

Gao Min's aura when he was doing things seriously was not approachable, and the light above his head outlined his upright posture, Shu Neem thought, I am afraid that what she said will be withdrawn, it turns out that men are also sexy when cooking, not to mention that this man is sparse and has his own intoxicating charm. Anyway, elegance is a kind of high-class sexiness, and Gao Min made her realize this.

Gao Min suddenly looked back, Shu Neem's unscrupulous gaze was intercepted, the two looked at each other, and smiled unconsciously, something was secretly stirring and surging uncontrollably.

The strange atmosphere spread and fermented, and Shu Neem gathered his mind and lowered his eyes.

Is Gao Min teasing her, don't say it, her eyes are quite sensational, when she looks closely, she returns to normal, burying her head in cooking, and the veins and feelings flowing in the air are all her conjectures.

The friendship between men and women is really a false proposition, and a squint can be mistaken for a teasing with a different meaning.

Shu Neem took it for granted that the ambiguity just now was an illusion, and the ripples in his heart quickly passed without a trace.

Gao Min curled the corners of her lips with pleasure, and it seemed that she was not hopelessly dull.

After dinner, the two of them had their own thoughts, and the things they thought about were not on the same channel, Shu Neem's heart was big, and she was no longer entangled when she figured it out, plus the jet lag was not reversed, she walked around Gao Min's mansion vigorously, the house was big enough to explore, and she lost her patience halfway through, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, and the old god was in a daze.

"A long-haul flight can cause a disruption in your biological clock, and I'm guessing you're going to lose sleep tonight," Gao Min stared at neem condescendingly, with a funny expression.

Do you still need to guess, she fell asleep when she got on the plane, and she was very energetic at the moment.

"I have experience in eliminating jet lag, do you want to try it?" , Sounding like asking for advice, Gao Min didn't expect Shu Nee to answer, and leaned over to pull her up from the sofa.

Standing by the blue pool, Shu Neem knew Gao Min's so-called "experience", swimming, swimming exhausted, and keeping it for a good night's sleep.

Gao Min took off his yukata, finished his preparations, and jumped into the pool.

Shu Neem glanced at it secretly, and had a conclusion in her heart, Gao Min belongs to a man who looks better when he takes off his clothes, he has a smooth body, well-proportioned proportions, perfect abdominal muscles, and smooth and elastic skin, of course, this can only be verified by her touching, at least visually.

Cut, if you have long legs, I have it too. Looking at Gao Min's beautiful swimming style, Shu Neem ignited his fighting spirit, ripped off his bathrobe, stretched out his arms and kicked his legs, and jumped into the water with a plop.

The posture was indecent, and he lost the first battle, Shu Neem was very unconvinced, and sent a war letter to Gao Min, competing in swimming, trying to suppress him with speed.

It's not that Shu Neem is an underestimated enemy, she is a three-shot, short-distance sport, relying on fast explosive power, she has never fallen behind.

Gao Min happily agreed, and very gracefully let Shu Nee five meters, Shu Neem shouted that he could counterattack without letting him, secretly exerting his strength, hearing "Ready to start", riveting and rushing out, Gao Min's speed was not slow, seeing that the gap between the two was getting closer and closer, Shu Neem pretended to have leg cramps, and his acting skills howled.

"Do you have leg cramps?" , Gao Min quickly swam over, grabbed Shu Neem's shoulder with one hand, and touched her underwater calf with the other.

It's now, Shu Neem snickered, pushed Gao Min away, and in an instant Phelps possessed his body, and his beautiful butterfly stroke was replaced by freestyle, and he swam towards the end with all his might.

In three rounds of winning or losing, Shu Neem narrowly won, panting by the pool, turning his head and raising his eyebrows at Gao Min.

Gao Min brushed his dripping hair back of his head, revealing his handsome facial features, his eyebrows and eyes were smiling, and his eyes were full of tolerance and helplessness for the bear child.

"Next time you change the method, it's okay to call a timeout, nothing else, especially pretending to be drowning, there is no next time, you know?"

Shu Neem admitted his mistake very simply, "I didn't win enough to be above board, so I won't take an example."

"Swim a few laps, can you still fight?"

"No problem!"

Compared with the truth, Shu Neem did not lag much behind Gao Min, always kept a distance of half a meter from him, and had nothing to do with the heart of victory or defeat, she purely wanted to use up her strength, the taste of insomnia was not comfortable, and she still had work to do tomorrow, so she was afraid that she would be sluggish and delay her business.

Gao Min went ashore, Shu Neem was still swimming, in order to adapt to the new environment and fall asleep quickly, she was also fighting.

Shu Neem has no problem choosing a bed, but she can't afford a large bedroom, and the round bed in the center of more than two meters is like an island floating on the sea, even though she can enjoy the gorgeous night view with first-class visual effects, but the glass wall really makes her a person who is afraid of heights unbearable.

Gradually, Gao Min couldn't stand it anymore, afraid that the sisters would have an accident, so he couldn't help but drag her out of the pool.

Shu Neem took the bathrobe handed over by Gao Min, sat comfortably on the recliner by the pool, tilted his head and saw the drinks and fruit boats on the table, and was surprised, "Hey, when did it arrive?" Your waiter is with you, walking without moving, and has the potential to be a spy."

"A qualified housekeeping attendant will not dominate at any time, I have guests here, and they should consciously avoid it", Gao Min said that this poured a cup of tea for Shu Neem, "drink this first, calm the nerves"

Gao Min's movements almost reached her mouth, and Shu Neem was embarrassed and hurriedly caught the tea.

"Mr. Gao, you are too enthusiastic, I don't know and think you plan to borrow money from me, we are all acquaintances, you are really welcome!"

"We are in a relationship with each other, one layer closer than distant relatives, you come to my house as a guest from thousands of miles away, I should take care of you", Gao Min bent the corners of his eyes, "What's more, I see that you are tired enough to swim, and it is easy to help you hand over a cup of tea, it is really not worth the burden when you have it"

Taking care is not the key, the key is to take care of herself too considerate and thoughtful, it is difficult not to make people think about it, Shu Neem trusts her own judgment, and if she does the same thing to her with the opposite sex, she will think that the other party has the intention of pursuing her, and then directly ask the other party for verification. Gao Min is obviously not suitable for this routine, he is under the banner of a friend, he can attack and retreat, in case she makes a mistake in judgment and is embarrassed, it will make people think that she wants to make up for it.

If she doesn't figure out Gao Min's thoughts, she will definitely lose sleep tonight. If a straight ball doesn't work, then play curveball.

Shu Neem glanced at Gao Min sneakily, and as soon as Gao Min saw it, she pretended to taste tea, and finally couldn't hold back her words, "I have a deep understanding of what you said yesterday."

"Oh? What is the experience? Gao Min asked with interest.

"I think you have a habit of emotional cleanliness, so-", Shu Neem stole Gao Min's face, saw that there was no different color, and continued, "So you have high requirements for the other half and strict standards, I'm afraid you can't look down on ordinary people"

"In this way, we have the same aspirations in terms of our views on our life partners", Gao Min used a statement tone, and was sure that Shu Neem and him had similar interests.

"That's different", Shu Neem denied that she has been single so far, for many reasons, the peach blossoms are not prosperous, the lack of interest is one thing, the focus on work and ignoring the others is another, and the rest is difficult to speak, saying it is simply destroying her prestige, several blind dates, no matter what the man's conditions are, she is the one who is picked.

"Why is it different, or do you have a different opinion about your other half?"

"Wrong, to be exact, in the marriage market, the standards of men and women are different", a sarcastic smile appeared on Shu Neem's face, "Time crowns men, but not on the side of women, an older man with a successful career will be considered mature and attractive, and a woman who has passed the best childbearing age, no matter how high her education and career is, will not add points to her, who is a buyer's market and who is a seller's market, at a glance." Therefore, I am going to use your criteria to choose a marriage partner, and it is likely that I will die alone. ”

Gao Min looked at Shu Neem sideways, her expression was very complacent, it seemed that even if she was lonely and old, she would not compromise easily, "Why should you depreciate yourself, it is your freedom to choose what kind of life to live, some people are not worth accommodating at all"

Not everyone's pursuit includes love, and not everyone has to live according to the rules, but people can't escape the red dust, since they are brave enough to be themselves, they must have the courage to endure the short life.

It's just that there are always some people and things that let your cultivation and patience be tested, like a blind date, the man heard about her age and refused directly, the funny thing is that the man is 37 years old, and he actually dislikes her, a 30-year-old old, and dreams of a twenty-year-old young girl. There are also those who dislike her family background, thinking that her hometown is in a small county town on the 18th line, and the house is still self-built, so she can't compare with the solid people in the first-tier metropolis.

At that time, Shu Neem was so angry that she ate one less meal, and after learning from the pain, she decided not to go on a blind date to find abuse, the essence of marriage is reproduction and property distribution, everyone is running towards a goal to choose, young, good-looking and rich, as for whether you can choose it, it depends on the fate of each person, and there is nothing to worry about in the process of picking and being picked, and everything is fine when you quit the choice.

Gao Min is different, he has full choice.

Shu Neem threw away the bad memories, turned his face to look at Gao Min, and rounded the topic back, "Yes, I won't embarrass myself to others, and others naturally don't have to settle for me, according to the law of the jungle, I belong to the group that automatically abstains, but you Gao always eliminate the group of others, how can the two of us be the same?" ”

"I thought our attitude was to rather lack than abuse"

"For me, 'I'd rather be lacking than overuse' is an excuse to shirk and find an excuse to be single. As for you, I guess it's the real idea, and the person who makes you want to be over the wrong is undoubtedly the partner of your dreams."

The point is that he is rich, not ordinary rich, I knew that he was a big money in the country before, and after coming to the United States, I deepened my understanding of the degree to which he was rich, or beyond her cognition, just said that his residence, the geographical location is superior, high-tech security system, every floor-to-ceiling window of the apartment is equipped with bulletproof glass, the elevator and the entrance are equipped with an iris scanning identification system, and an air filtration device is also installed to prevent terrorists from using poison gas to attack the apartment, which is not absolutely What's more, there is an emergency evacuation room made of 10 cm thick steel plates. Think about it, how much money does it take to need such an impregnable high-tech security system?

Will a rich man like Gao Min still lack love? As long as he is willing, waiting for the woman with the number plate of love to line up to the Atlantic. But his private life is rigorous and self-disciplined, he doesn't play emotional games, he can endure loneliness, and he is not stained with dust, the reason for this is that it is inseparable from the betrayal of his ex-girlfriend. From this point of view, Shu Neem understands Gao Min, and on the other hand, I am afraid it is Gao Min's own reasons.

"My dream partner, huh-", Gao Min chuckled lightly, and asked seriously, "What do you think it is?" ”

Shu Neem was pondering, and was asked coldly, stunned for a few seconds, and felt very strange in his heart, is it not clear what kind of person you like?

Besides, she is rambling with her here, just to wake up Gao Min, she is not his beloved woman, just a friend, there is no need to treat her too attentively. Once something goes too far, it will turn sour.

Gao Min stared at Shu Neem with burning eyes, as if he wanted to hear her opinion very much.

"Then I'll say it," Shu Neem pretended to be embarrassed, "and if you don't say it right, you should have funβ€”I think you value your feelings more than your senses." ”

"How?"

"If you covet women and indulge in sensual pleasures, how can you not have a female companion around, uh, how can you say it, in any literal sense. Do you know how many girls in Sijiu City and the Demon Capital are outstanding and seeking to be on top, as far as the banquets and cocktail parties we have attended, it is not for nothing that there are girls who please you, they are young and charming, and their young faces do not hide their interest in you, you are a little interesting, hehe......", Shu Neem laughed embarrassedly, and explained what it means to "you know" with his eyes and playful eyebrows.

Men and women are often caught in the air.

Gao Min didn't answer the stalk, Shu Yi suddenly felt bored, and stopped selling Guanzi, "Besides, you don't pretend to be such a big beauty, which shows that you are not a person who is confused." ”

"Anything else?" , Shu Neem's praise, Gao Min took all the orders, the corners of his mouth turned up uncontrollably, and he was in a good mood.

"A beautiful woman is not enough to impress you, the kind of woman who is both beautiful and soulful is probably your dish, and deep down in your heart you should be looking forward to love, similar to the feeling of not knowing what to do, going deep, at a glance, it is numb, like touching the electric door"

"You seem to have touched it", Gao Min couldn't help laughing.

Are you laughing at me for being inexperienced? Shu Neem rolled her eyes, "I'm an adult, what else don't I know, isn't it just primitive sexual attraction?"

"You quite understand", Gao Min didn't know whether to ridicule or ridicule this sentence, Shu Neem waved his hand, meaning that he didn't dare to be.

Peeking at Gao Min, he smiled brightly, she went around here for a long time, and she didn't say a word of substance, and couldn't help but feel irritable, "There is a sentence that has been hidden in my heart for a long time, and I don't know whether to say it or not."

"You speak, I'll listen", Gao Min tightened the corners of his mouth, although he thought it was funny, but with Shu Neem's seriousness, he adjusted his expression in time.

"You and your ex-fiancΓ©e fell in love for a long time, and then they came together naturally, of course this is not what I guessed, you emphasized more than once, saying that there is not love between you"

Gao Min nodded, "Yes, there's nothing to hide from this, I once thought that marriage has nothing to do with love, it doesn't matter who you live with, the important thing is that person doesn't hate it"

"But that's not love," Shu noted quietly.

"yes, so I'm grateful for her giving up," Gao Min smiled.

"Your previous thoughts were similar to those of us who were on a blind date, people don't hate it, the conditions are equal, just live together, and if you're lucky, you can live for a lifetime. There's nothing bad, except for a little regret, most people have dealt with it like this, there is no perfect life, we just want to pass, but you don't have to deal with it, there should be no words like makeshift in the dictionary of your life, you should believe in your eyes and your heart, believe in the person who makes your heart beat crazy, love is not so complicated, sometimes it may be a matter of a glance! ”

Shu Neem finished speaking without stumbling, picked up the prepared blood Mary, drank half a cup happily, licked the corner of his mouth with the tip of his tongue, and thought while reminiscing, he thought that everything that should be said was said, and the rest of himself slowly realized.

Just when she thought the temptation was over, Gao Min suddenly asked: "Will the love that sprouts with hormonal impulses be strong?" ”

"A calm marriage doesn't necessarily last long", Shu Yi looked at Gao Min with a smile, "Let's not engage in philosophical speculation if the two of us are unmarried." To name two examples is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, she likes you, and you turn her away, I guess not only because she's your best friend's woman, but also because I-"

Shu Mei's gaze swirled on Gao Min's face, Gao Min's eyebrows jumped, he thought, what would she say, he looked forward to it, but also deeply feared.

"What do you think of me?" , Shu Neem didn't expect Gao Min to answer, she Gu Zi said, "My spiritual world is quite attractive, and my soul can also be called sexy, but the skin that wraps my thoughts is not very gorgeous", speaking of which, she tightened her bathrobe without care, showing her body curves that are not exquisite, tall, thin, sharp, and lacking feminine softness, "If it wasn't me who hit your car, it was a beautiful girl who matched your aesthetics, and she apologized to you, would your attitude be different?" Don't say that everyone is treated equally, beauty in this world is a scarce resource, and it's easier to be forgiven for being beautiful, isn't it? ”

"Being beautiful is not an excuse for making mistakes, and also, human emotions arise from the brain, including physical * body impulses, people are human because they can control their instincts, not be controlled by instincts, whether they like a person or not, my brain will tell me"

Shu Neem showed a relieved look, and her saliva was not in vain, "Mr Gao, let me give you a reminder, you usually liberate your nature a little, use your brain and your heart, and fall in love with a girl with eye to eye as soon as possible, to be honest, your house is too big, it's a pity to live alone"

hints at this, and if you don't understand it, it's pretending to be stupid. The smile on Gao Min's lips was a little helpless, he needed to find a chance to talk to Shu Neem, and sincerely hold his heart to her, I don't know if she wants it. 166 Reading Network
