Jin Zhiliang's entire mind was focused on Xu Zhengze's face, and he was not moved in the slightest, let alone apologized.

"Don't you have your own judgment?" There was a hint of mockery in his eyes, "What I say is what it is, so if the cake shop catches fire, I say don't pay attention to it, do you really ignore it and let the cake shop burn to the ground?" Old Kim, for the first time, I realized that you had so much respect for me. ”

He hooked the corners of his lips high on the ground, and Jin Zhiliang's eyes darkened for a while.

obviously had a stomach full of words, but for a while they were all choked in their throats. Didn't you expect that you wouldn't be able to bargain in front of him, and letting him bow his head was simply wishful thinking.

His cool eyes swept over his pale face, and he was about to suffocate with the taste of dry staring and patience.

Jin Zhiliang was hammered there like a silent stake, and as soon as Xu Zhengze left, everyone looked at each other and were unconvinced to fight for him.

The sound of one after another rose and fell in the bakery.

"A bunch of afterthoughts!" Xu Siqi snorted disdainfully.

Ningxia tilted his head, "You said that others were an afterthought, didn't you have the courage to support just now?" ”

Xu Siqi glanced at her, his eyes were dull, as if he was blocked, and he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

"That's it!" Jin Zhiliang shouted expressionlessly, "I'll handle my affairs by myself, so I don't need you to talk too much!" ”

Everyone resolutely closed their mouths.

Jin Zhiliang walked out of the cake room with a heavy face, probably to his cubicle.

"That's not right." Brother Wang touched his chin and looked thoughtful, "Don't you think it's a little strange lately, since he disappeared for a few days, the whole person is not in the right state." ”

"When did he go normal?" Immediately someone rolled their eyes.

Brother Wang said: "Think about it, he used to be a workaholic, he spent at least half of the day making cakes 24 hours a day, coming earlier in the morning and leaving later than anyone else in the evening. But now, have you seen how long he has been in the studio, and even coming over to keep an eye on him. Don't you really think it's weird? ”

It's weird.

Ningxia went to his studio to clean, and he was not there once. Every day comes late and leaves early, and the time spent in the bakery is getting shorter and shorter. Even the exit reprimanded them didn't seem to be distracted, and there was mockery in the previous tone, but now in addition to ridicule, it seems to be more of a hopeless broken jar.

And this incident is also very strange. As the boss of the bakery, he doesn't seem to have a sense of honor and disgrace, and whatever goes wrong with the bakery seems to have nothing to do with him, he's just an outsider who looks at the excitement with a cold eye.

Brother Wang didn't raise the question, Ningxia couldn't notice anything, and as soon as he broke it, the more Ningxia thought about it, the more suspicious he became.

No, he was obviously quite serious and responsible before she left last time......

Ningxia asked Xu Siqi in confusion: "Could it be stimulated by something?" He bowed his head and remained silent, "Xiao Qi, what do you think?" ”

"Huh?" Xu Siqi was stunned and frowned, "What did you say?" ”

Ningxia reluctantly repeated: "I said could it be stimulated by something?" ”

"How do I know?" He immediately changed his face. Then my eyes were empty, and I didn't know what I was thinking.

Ningxia: "Are you alright?" ”

He was disturbed again, a little impatient, "What can I do!" ”

Thoughts. Ningxia shrugged his shoulders and smiled: "It's okay." ”

***

Such a cycle is busy, and Ningxia can't wait to turn itself into a sheet every day, just lying down, not getting up......

After work in the evening, she ate noodles at a noodle restaurant near the Tatsura Mansion. The store was air-conditioned, and at first the pores were comfortable and did not feel hot, but after drinking two sips of hot soup in succession, my forehead immediately began to sweat.

As soon as I pulled out a tissue on the table, my phone started singing.

Unfamiliar numbers, but if you look closely, they seem familiar.

"Hello, who?" She picked it up casually with her left hand, and continued to hold the chopsticks with her right hand.

"Natsu-chan."

The voice was heavy and magnetic, listening to it in her ears, her heart beat violently and her hands trembled, and the chopsticks sent into her mouth slammed into her teeth, and her hard head slid on the periodontals, making her "hiss" in pain.

"What's going on?" He was keenly aware and asked with concern.

"Uh...... No, nothing. Ningxia put down his chopsticks, licked the injured place with the tip of his tongue, and changed to a playful tone, "How did you think of calling me, you wouldn't have dialed the wrong number, right?" ”

"You're looking for you. Someone, who just asked me who I was. He spoke in a low voice, in a slow tone.

Ningxia is slightly embarrassed.

Admits that you have a bad memory and don't remember his number?

Don't want it......

She quickly diverted the topic: "Looking for me?" ”

"Well, there's something I want to ask you for."

I actually use "please" politely! Ningxia laughed: "When the eldest brother speaks, the little one must die." ”

"Don't risk your life." He curled the corners of his lips, "I'll fly to London tomorrow and come back in five days, and I'll ask you to help me water the balcony garden." ”

"You also raise flowers?" I can't really see it.

Maybe her expression was wrong, and the voice in the earpiece was lowered, "No? ”

Ningxia couldn't grasp his feelings, and was annoyed by his mouth, "No, I'm just a little surprised, my uncle also planted flowers by himself." ”

"I didn't grow it myself." He said.

Ningxia stared at the shredded chicken noodles in the bowl and listened quietly.

"Do you know why it's called Tatsura Mansion?"

"Well, I know. Because next to it is the Tatsura Botanical Garden. ”

He chuckled, "That's where I bought it." ”

“…… Oh. ”

It was cold for a while, as if there was nothing to answer except "oh".

Luckily, he asked, "At work, or at home?" ”

"Well, outside. Soon home. ”

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

"......" Ningxia's brain short-circuited, unconsciously repeating gently, "Wait for me? ”

He said of course: "I have to explain something to you before I go." Whether intentionally or not, he added, "In case you are clumsy, I will only see their corpses when I return." ”

Ningxia's heart was stagnant, she decided to retract her previous thoughts, he was obviously not polite at all!

***

Checking out, coming out of the noodle shop, the sun has set, and a touch of ginger honey dusk appears on the horizon.

Ningxia walked home slowly, stopped in front of Ye Zhaojue's apartment and rang the doorbell.

After a while, a slender arm slowly pushed the door open, and as the crack in the door gradually expanded, Ye Zhaojue's handsome face appeared in front of her little by little.

He wore a white sports short-sleeved shirt with a pair of black trousers, which was rare to see his cool and comfortable side, and he took off his high-end suit and looked more approachable.

"Come in." He gave her a way, "The slippers are over there." ”

"Oh." Ningxia nodded, inexplicably restrained.

She changed her shoes casually, sat on the cushion of the shoe cabinet and looked up, and found him leaning against the wall with his pocket and looking at herself, she couldn't help but look stunned.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone through the curved lattice window behind her in his clear eyes, incredibly soft.

When he saw her looking over, he raised his eyebrows slightly and pulled the corners of his mouth, "Follow me." ”

"Okay." Ningxia forced himself to smile, but the strange feeling in his heart lingered.

He was the first to take the step, and she stood up from the long shoe cabinet, and wanted to pinch her ears to tell herself to be calm, but her fingertips touched the plastic ear sticks protruding from her earlobes, and she had to give up.

He noticed that she had not followed, so he stopped and turned around, and did not speak, but focused fixedly on her with those eyes that had been crumpled by the setting sun.

With his hands still on his ears, Ning Xia hurriedly put them down, and his two hands were clasped in front of him in a regular manner, and he was embarrassed to be a thief.

She smiled, poked her head out to look left and right, and sighed, "Your family is so big." ”

After saying that, I feel like I'm so fake!

Ye Zhaojue raised his eyebrows, "The house types of 1110 and 1111 are the same. ”

“…… Yes. Ningxia was scolding himself in his heart, but he pretended not to know, "The interior designer is really powerful, the decoration style is changed, and the same house type can be created by them to create different visual effects." ”

Ye Zhaojue smiled lightly.

There was no echo, and Ningxia felt like a one-man show.

She had no choice but to turn her gaze to look at him, obviously trying to prove that she was open-minded, but she almost couldn't support it in his perceptive eyes.

The smile squeezed out of her face stiffened a little, and she gradually felt an embarrassment in her heart that she had encountered a nemesis, as if as long as she was with him, she would not be able to act......

He finally spoke, but what he said was: "Xiao Xia, you have always been so ......" paused, dug out a word, "Referring to the deer as a horse?" ”

“……”

Does he really understand what it means to "refer to a deer as a horse"? The definition of referring to a deer as a horse is: confusing right and wrong, reversing black and white!

After a few seconds, Ningxia's gaze changed from stunned to angry, "Big brother, are you illiterate?" Or as a returnee, you have spared no effort to ignore the 5,000-year-old culture of the Chinese nation? ”

She glared angrily, amused by him for no reason, and her heart beat unsteady for herself.

The feeling of being out of control made her feel a little overwhelmed.

"Angry?" Ye Zhaojue looked at her carefully, and his observation was accurate.

Ningxia stiffened his face and did not answer. She is embarrassed to admit that she can be angry for such a trivial matter, but she can't hide his fiery eyes by pretending to be a nobody in front of him. Tangled and tangled, simply shut up.

She was silent for a long time, Ye Zhaojue's eyebrows were slightly together, but she pretended to explain with a relaxed smile: "I just want to praise you for skillfully describing the deer as a horse, purely literally, not deliberately belittling you." ”

Ningxia Xin said, of course I know. She pouted, knowing that it was time to open her mouth.

So, making a speechless expression, he hummed: "Illiterate! "To be more disdainful shì and how disdainful shì is.

At this moment, Ye Zhaojue clearly heard what seemed to be an explosion in his tight chest.

She ignored him, and he would feel nervous, and although it was imperceptible, it was a deposit.

She ignored him, and he immediately relaxed, relieved.

In the blink of an eye, his eyes flickered, and his eyes became deeper and deeper as he looked at her. There are waves in the eyes, and there is hesitation, but more of it is the awakening that you will not repeat the mistakes of the past after missing it.

Much later, looking back at this moment, it turned out that it was nothing else that exploded in his chest, but one of his ribs.
