Driving Xu Huihui home, Xu Huihui, who was deeply influenced by her family, was slightly shocked when she saw Ye Zhaojue's car.

Buckling up her seatbelt, she tried to make herself look natural, but after previous interactions, she found that she couldn't.

Ye Zhaojue's slender hand held the steering wheel, obviously he hadn't looked at her since he got into the car, but as if he had seen through it, his voice was low, "What's the problem?" ”

"Uh...... No. Xu Huihui was slightly stunned, smiling reluctantly.

Ye Zhaojue looked at the road conditions and tilted the corners of his mouth, "It's okay, you can have it." ”

"......" Xu Huihui was about to cry.

Before this, she had also been on a blind date with other people in the circle, after all, everyone had reached marriageable age, and it happened to be related to the interests of the family. I have seen a lot of second ancestors who are angry, but none of them can get into her eyes. If she hadn't heard that this rare freak who was famous in the circle for eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling today, she didn't think she would have come.

As it turned out, she really shouldn't have come.

This man is a freak indeed!

Dozens of minutes by car is a suffocating time for Xu Huihui. She thought that not only this car, but also the larger range should be the problem of the person next to her.

Although he was silent, the sense of oppression that his silence brought was too strong.

"You don't seem to live at home, do you?" She couldn't stand it a little, so she had to break the silence and throw out such a sentence without a beginning or an end.

Ye Zhaojue smiled lightly, "The problem is here, isn't it?" ”

"......" Xu Huihui blushed for a while.

He seemed to recognize his mistake in words, "I'm sorry, I seem to have upset you." ”

“…… Nope. She couldn't laugh.

When he finally got home, he did all the etiquette, got out of the car first, and opened the door for her gentlemanly.

"Had a great night." He said.

"Me too." Xu Huihui forced out a smile, "Then, goodbye." ”

"Wait!"

She was about to move when he stopped her and looked puzzled, "What's wrong?" ”

"What do you think of me?" He asked with a smile.

“……”

"Don't you feel it?" He regretted slightly, "It seems that you don't seem to have a good opinion of me." ”

“……”

"Well, in that case, I wish you a speedy finding of happiness."

“……”

And then, uh, there was no then.

Xu Huihui watched in amazement as he returned to the car, speeding away in the black Volvo that she didn't like, and soon disappeared from her field of vision.

After a long time, she realized that in fact, to put it bluntly, this guy didn't like her at all......

The night was blurry, Ye Zhaojue lowered the car window, and let the hot air continue to pour in.

Suddenly wanting to smoke a cigarette, he reached into his trouser pocket, but found that he didn't have it with him.

He doesn't really like to smoke, but sometimes he needs to be empty, like at this moment.

The streets are lit up with neon lights, and dots of light are reflected in the window glass.

He picked up Yang Zhi's call, his face calm, "Hey, Auntie." ”

Yang Zhi said, "Ah Jue, how are you getting along with Huihui?" ”

"Well, it's okay." He smiled, put his left hand on the window frame, and said in a casual tone, "But Auntie, what I said doesn't count, the key depends on her attitude." ”

"Anyway, you think it's okay." Yang Zhi said happily, "Pick and choose, I also think that Huihui's child is good, delicate and dignified, if you two become successful, she will be a good wife who runs a family." ”

"I trust your vision." He laughed softly, all his emotions hidden in the silence of his eyes.

***

Pack the cake box, wash your hands, change your clothes, and go home.

The night is thick, the billboards and light boxes on the side of the road are colorful, Ningxia walked to the subway entrance, swiped the card to enter the station, and sat on the rest bench and flipped through the mobile phone. With her fingertips scratched on pictures related to chestnut cakes, perhaps, she could try to innovate when she got home.

But the premise is that there must be cooked chestnut meat.

After leaving the station, I weighed a bag of chestnuts on the street, the weather was hot, and there were few people who bought them. The chestnut was hot and smelled a light fragrance, she couldn't help it, picking one up as she walked, and sending it to bite the skin in her mouth, chewing it with relish.

There is still some distance from Chenliang Mansion, there are not a few people who take a walk with them at night, a group of moths dance under the street lamps on the sidewalk, Ningxia is alone, and unconsciously walked a long way.

When she came to her senses, the paper bag was full of chestnut shells.

At this time, she was already standing at the main entrance of the Tatsura Mansion.

She walked slowly down the main road, reaching into the bag and digging for it, and after a few scratches, she finally made sure that there was enough left to make a small cake.

As she walked, she noticed a garbage can in front of her, she poured out the chestnut shells on the surface and threw them in, and the begonia pink in the flower bed was a little yellow, blooming wantonly in her afterglow.

When she looked up, she saw an off-road vehicle just driving past her, and although the light turned orange as the headlights moved away, Ningxia immediately recognized the logo on the rear of the car, which was a Volvo.

Recently, it seems to have a lot of fate with this model, and I can often meet it.

From this car, I can't help but think of the person called Ye Hejue, and when I think of the person called Ye Hejue, I will think of Ye Xiaofan, who has always been a thief.

While she was messing around, the apartment building arrived.

She raised her hand and pressed the elevator button, there were two elevators up and down in this building, Ningxia glanced at the operation panel, both were slowly going up, the one on the left stopped every once in a while, and the one on the right soared up, to the 11th floor, and after the people inside went out, it did not continue to rise, but quickly fell back.

Yo, neighbor.

Since moving here, I haven't met anyone else on the 11th floor. Everyone didn't bother or meet as agreed, and the work and rest time were cleverly diverged.

Jiang Yiran came back earlier than her, the study upstairs was lit, Ningxia didn't go in to bother, and went downstairs to make chestnut cakes after taking a shower.

Peeling off the chestnut shells one by one and breaking them with a food processor, she stared at the treasures of Jiang Yiran in the wine cabinet at the bar for a while, and opened a bottle of his El Dorado Five-Year-Old Rum last time, this time, she took a fancy to another bottle of El Dorado Five-Year-Old Rum, hesitated for a long time, and was still embarrassed to waste it, and finally only added the most commonly used Bacardi White Rum.

When it was ready, she put the cake on the table as usual, set up the knife and fork, tore off a post-it note, and went back to sleep.

When I woke up in the morning, what awaited her as usual was a wave of spicy comments.

I'm used to being hit, and I don't feel anything to be disappointed about, but every time I can't help but have some expectations, even if I hear eight points of satisfaction from Jiang Yiran's tricky mouth, she is content, but it's a pity that she doesn't say eight points, and she even hangs a passing grade.

Ningxia tirelessly settled the breakfast, picked up the bag and prepared to go to the store.

Jiang Yiran sat still, "It's raining outside, bring an umbrella." ”

Ningxia turned around and looked at him numbly, "Shouldn't you say, 'It's raining outside, I'll send you'?" ”

He raised his eyes and looked directly at her, without shame, "I want to take a free car, go and get a driver's license by myself, or find a man with a car." ”

“……”

So rightly enough!

Ningxia froze for a second, turned his head proudly and left.

She was the only one waiting for the elevator in the empty corridor, Ningxia stared at the end of the corridor, where there was a glass window with a view, and the rain outside the building was pouring down, and the rain curtain was dense, and she couldn't see anything clearly.

In addition to the sound of rain, it is the sound of my own shallow breathing.

There was a creak, a squeak, the natural sound of the door spinning, and then, popped

The door closes slightly.

Who will it be? Is there a neighbor on this level that you've never met?

The sound of steady footsteps slowly approached, and Ningxia retracted his gaze from the window, instinctively turning to the other end of the corridor.

She thought that she would only glance at it hastily, but she knew that at this glance, the whole person was dumbfounded.

The visitor put his hands in the pockets of his trousers, and his steps were steady and casual.

The dark blue checked suit and the light-colored silk print tie are another outfit that is difficult for ordinary people to control.

It turned out to be him!

He seemed to be stunned for a moment when he saw her, and Ningxia smiled, "I'm curious, do you live here too?" ”

Then, Ningxia watched him look away, turned sideways to face the elevator entrance, and left her with a sparse side face, "Hmm." The word "also" is enough to explain a qiē, and he nodded lightly, but did not look at her.

The corridor is quiet, and Ningxia's mood is also quiet.

She wasn't short, but he was tall, and as he had done that day when he had taken her home, she had to tilt her neck slightly to see his deep eyes. But that can be tiring. If she was tired, why did she need to look at him?

Ningxia stopped talking, hung his head, and kicked his shoes boredly.

When the elevator reached the 11th floor and the door opened automatically, she still kept her head down. She let him go in, and the elevator couldn't run anyway.

"Miss Ning." He called her that, exactly the same as he did that day.

I'm really glad I didn't cheekily call him "big brother" like I did that day.

Ningxia calmly said, "Huh? With a sigh, he looked up to find that his right hand was against the elevator to prevent it from shutting down automatically, and a handsome face turned slightly to the side, but he didn't look at her.

He said, "You're not going in?" ”

"Enter!" Ningxia lightly and slowly dragged out a long note. understood what he meant, so he was not polite and walked in first.

The two of them stood next to each other, one left and one right, with enough distance between them to insert another person.

In a slightly warm confined space, no one spoke, but I didn't feel embarrassed.

The number on the indicator gradually decreased, and when it became 7, Ningxia's eyes squinted, and he suddenly asked, "Can I ask you a question?" ”

The topic came suddenly, and his expression was indifferent, "You ask." ”

"How do you write your name?" Ningxia's tone was casual and brisk.

He finally glanced at him lightly, and Ningxia immediately put on a smile and showed friendship. But it's good that she doesn't smile, but this smile, he has a shallow crease between his eyebrows.

Ningxia's heart pounded, and when you meet him, you really don't want to be in a good mood.

"That Zhaojue in Zhaojue County, Sichuan." The glance was over quickly, and he turned his gaze to the front, to the point.

Ningxia was stunned, "Place name? ”

She swore that there was absolutely no mockery in this sentence. But maybe she didn't control her tone.

"Yes, place names." Ye Zhaojue twisted his eyebrows and looked at her again, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, "Your name is Ningxia, isn't it also a place name?" ”

She was silent for a second, smiling brightly, as if she had found a big bargain, "In this way, I am an autonomous region, and you are just a small county town." ”

Her voice is stingy, and it is her usual hip-hop attack.

I thought he wouldn't hear it, but he turned his face back in silence, looking like he didn't want to look at her any more, "Oh, congratulations." ”

What does "......" mean?

The elevator doors opened, and the sound of the rain was clear. He walked in front, and Ningxia followed him two steps behind. His back is straight, and the vitality of the plaid suit is transformed into a restrained flamboyance in him, which is particularly contradictory.

Just like the feeling he gave her, it can be summed up in four words: inexplicable.

Look at her eyes inexplicably! The attitude towards her is also inexplicable!

As soon as he walked to the door of the apartment, someone immediately waited for a long time to greet him and offered to hand him a black umbrella.

Ningxia stopped and saw him hold the umbrella open, calmly walking into the rain curtain, the rain crackling and smashing on the umbrella surface, the sound drifted farther and farther away, until he got into a black car, and the man who handed him the umbrella sat in the main driver's seat.

The car drove away.
