Chapter 41 chapter41
Since that brief and lustless kiss, the relationship between the two has become closer as if they had been pulled together.
Originally, it was something to be secretly happy about, but when he couldn't make sense with Jiang Yiran repeatedly, Ningxia was exhausted.
"Why do you have to be prejudiced against him?"
That night, she just passed by generally, and Ye Zhaojue was enlightened and righteous to change Jiang Yiran's opinion. On the contrary, she tried her best to speak, but Jiang Yiran remained unmoved, with a stubborn attitude of "I don't listen, I just don't listen".
Compared with the two, when facing Ye Zhaojue, Ningxia unconsciously felt a little guilty, her uncle really didn't eat oil and salt......
Jiang Yiran didn't know what he was tinkering with in front of the notebook, his hands were fast, and he typed lightly on the keyboard, pausing occasionally, frowning and thinking about the problem.
Ningxia's words to him were like stones sinking into the sea, unable to stir up the slightest wind and waves. He was so busy with him that he was stingy with even a look.
Just when she really gave up, he finally looked away from the screen, cast a little bit on her face, and then slowly descended, scrutinizing her from head to toe. The gaze moves slowly, a bit like measuring dimensions, horizontal dimensions and vertical dimensions.
The vertical is the height, but the horizontal is it?
Ningxia: "......"
"You don't seem to have grown in years." He said with a thick eyebrow raised.
Ningxia took a deep breath: "I'm very satisfied with my height, thank you." β
"Uh-huh." He gave a low, soft reply, then lowered his head again and continued with what he was doing.
Ningxia glared at him dryly for a while, and the powerlessness in his heart became thicker and thicker.
Because he understands his personality and knows that he has never relied on hearsay but by his eyes to observe the nuances, Ningxia suddenly realized that he has been doing stupid things recently, in fact, there is no need to forcibly change his perception of Ye Zhaojue.
She tapped her head lightly, what a fool.
But it seems that only on issues related to Ye Zhaojue would she be so stupid......
Well, I often hear people say that "a woman in love has zero IQ", her IQ is still there, but it is EQ, which seems to have flown away.
Just when she was thinking about it, Jiang Yiran's inquiring voice came coldly: "In addition to reading suspense novels, what else do you usually do in the house?" β
ββ¦β¦ Why? "It's too weird to ask about this kind of trivial things in life, right?
The screen blocked her view, and from the angle she was standing, she could only see the ends of Jiang Yiran's thick black hair, "I don't seem to care about you, just ask." β
"......" Since he asked casually, she reluctantly answered casually, "You don't know, I often hide in my room and peek at erotic movies." β
Jiang Yiran's eyes swept over, and he was more serious than her: "Why don't you share good goods with me?" β
Ningxia: "......" you won......
Ningxia blushed slightly and fled in a gray manner.

The weather is getting cooler, the spring and autumn in Nanxiang are shorter, and the boundary between winter and summer is not clear enough, as if yesterday was still summer, and today it will blink into winter.
Ningxia was busy sifting powder, Xu Siqi came over and asked, "You didn't tell me about that day, did you?" β
She wondered, "What day?" β
He hung his head slightly and muttered, "That's ...... that day"
Ningxia's wrist paused, and the flour sieve stopped in mid-air, and the delicate powder was still falling due to the slap half a second ago.
She looked at him, "Which day?" β
Xu Siqi exhaled a turbid breath: "The day I had dinner with Ye Xiaofan!" β
"Oh." Ningxia suddenly said strangely, "It's just a meal, it's not worth talking about everywhere, right?" β
"It's not ......," Xu Siqi wanted to say and stopped.
Ningxia felt inexplicable and waited patiently for him.
After a while, he put his hand to his mouth, erected a screen, leaned in front of Ningxia, and whispered: "You are not allowed to mention to anyone about our chef when you see it in Tao." β
Ningxia shrunk his neck, took a step back to the side, rubbed his ears and looked at him inexplicably.
"Do you hear that?" His eyes glared at her.
Ningxia remembered Ye Xiaofan's inference, and Xu Siqi's abnormality made her suspicious, could it be that Xiaofan was right?
As soon as she thought about it, her eyes changed a little when she looked at him, half pity and half pity.
Xu Siqi was full of excitement, because of his weak heart, he tried to use ferocity to retreat Ningxia's gloomy gaze, but in exchange for her intensified gaze, the eyes were so bright that he seemed to be able to see through him at a glance, causing his heart to jump suddenly.
And she wasn't enough, she actually patted him on the shoulder, and said in a comforting tone: "I won't tell others, don't worry." β
Xu Siqi: "......"
Why is he even more uneasy......
***
After Ningxia got off the night shift, he quickly ran to the changing room, took off his uniform, changed into a coat, took his bag, locked the cabinet, and the whole set of actions was done in one go.
Trotting to the elevator room, she saw from a distance that the elevator door was closing, and she hurriedly shouted, "Wait a minuteββ! β
Someone reached out and held down the elevator, and when they got closer, they saw that it was Xu Siqi.
"Thank you." Smiling as she walked in, she tilted her head to glance at him, "Why are you faster than me." β
God knows that she really just let out a casual sigh, but unexpectedly, she was choked by Xu Siqi again.
Ningxia pouted and decided to keep his mouth shut.
Soon arrived at the first floor, Xu Siqi rushed out in front of her.
The bag in his hand was flung behind his back, and his free hand was in his pocket. With headphones on his head, his body is moving to the rhythm of the music.
Originally, this was supposed to be a picture of youth and vitality, but unfortunately, the short coat on his upper body seemed to be filled with a ball of full gas, very wide, and lined his swaying posture like a clumsy penguin.
Ningxia walked behind him and bowed his head and smiled.
At some point, he stopped on the steps of the staff's entrance, glanced in a certain direction, and then turned his head to look at her inexplicably.
The smile did not retreat, the corners of his mouth still held a shallow arc, he suddenly looked over, Ningxia was a little stunned.
Xu Siqi hooked her index finger with the hand holding the black bag on her back, signaling her to come over quickly.
Ningxia had no choice but to speed up its pace.
When he walked to the door, Xu Siqi lowered his chin and pointed in the direction he was looking at.
At Ningxia Station, there was a silver car parked in that direction, with a slender body and well-proportioned proportions, and two people stood in front of the car, one tall and handsome, and the other tall and beautiful.
The beautiful one kept talking, and the voice faintly came with the wind, Ning Xia frowned, said goodbye to Xu Siqi, and walked towards the two of them.
As if telepathy had arisen in the dark, Ye Zhaojue couldn't bear to listen to Lu Xiao's chatter and ask long and short questions, and Ningxia walked over, and he raised his head suddenly.
He smiled at her, his eyes were bright and peaceful, and he brought warmth in the cool late autumn.
Lu Xiao looked at the face in front of him who had known him for more than 20 years, both familiar and unfamiliar. She followed her gaze and saw that it was Ningxia, and her heart was a little uncomfortable.
It turns out that he can also smile softly at people other than his family......
"Ningxia, you're just in time." Lu Xiao hugged his shoulders and turned around, facing the direction that Ningxia was coming from, "I won't answer your phone calls or text messages, are you careful?" β
Ningxia: "I don't have anything to say lately, besides, you always ask me some things that I knowingly ask, can you let me save some phone bills?" β
"You're so reasonable!"
Ningxia walked up to Ye Zhaojue and smiled kindly at Lu Xiao: "It's so late, why are you here?" β
Lu Xiao glared at her, stared at her for a while, and then turned to glare at Ye Zhaojue, venting his dissatisfaction back and forth between the two.
Ye Zhaojue turned his head to look at Ningxia, his dark eyes were bright: "She said that I picked you up too high-profile, and it spread throughout the hotel." Is it true? β
"Uh, it's fine." Ningxia felt that he was answering the question, "Everyone in the cake shop knows it, and it's not a secret." β
"Did it affect you badly?"
He asked absolutely seriously, and Ningxia even noticed that if she answered yes, he would most likely apologize to her in the next second.
"Nope." She hurriedly shook her head, "I'm fine." β
Looking at him solemnly emphasized, but he was silent for a moment, then reached out to put his arm around her shoulder and laughed: "Okay, I'll pay attention to it later." β
What should the "......" pay attention to?
Ningxia leaned sideways with him, looking up at him, his eyes full of doubts.
He smiled and raised his other hand to brush her wind-blown hair, and said, "Don't look at me stupidly." β
"Just looking at you." Ningxia is disgusted.
"Okay, then you see." He lowered his head and leaned his face closer for her to take a closer look.
Ningxia suddenly laughed, her palms were so itchy, and she wanted to hold it with both hands.
Before he could put it into action, Lu Xiao, who was completely ignored on the side, shouted: "Hey! You don't have an end, when I don't save zΓ i? β
Ningxia woke up like a dream, she must have been bewitched by someone, she really forgot that Jì and Lu Xiao were there just now, and even forgot that Jì They were on the side of the road......
She was a little embarrassed, and the love that has often fermented these days was born in her heart. Sweet, shy, wanting to cheer and jump and wanting to hide under the covers.
Two fiery clouds appeared on her porcelain-white cheeks, red in white, like flowers blooming in the light, falling in Ye Zhaojue's eyes, and the joy was clear.
She's ashamed.
Ye Zhaojue's eyes flickered, and he glanced at Lu Xiao lightly, "If I were you, I would have left on my own." β
Lu Xiao was angry and embarrassed, she stomped her feet on the spot, and the arm that had been holding her chest opened suddenly, "Ah Jue! β
"Huh?" With a gentle fall, his eyes were also light and light, but Lu Xiao felt a slight coolness on his back.
Ah Jue is unprovoked, everyone in the circle has known since childhood that among their small groups, only Ah Jue is the most indifferent. He will smile at you, he will help you, but you can't touch his bottom line, once you cross the line, all past friendships will be wiped out by him, and there will be no chance of survival.
For example, Lin Yanxi.
Lu Xiao entered the hotel from the staff entrance, and then took the elevator to the underground garage. Stiletto heels stepped alone in the pale light, and her graceful figure was pulled into a more slender shadow.
Sitting in his car and skillfully moving the car out of his position, Lu Xiao smiled coldly, Lin Yanxi must not have imagined that such a long-ago secret could be dug out by her little by little like mining.
