Chapter 137: The Cursed Token (2-in-1)
24-hour convenience store. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The heating was turned on sufficiently, and the clerk yawned one after another, while secretly looking at the couple sitting on the high stool by the window.
As soon as the man and woman entered the door, the clerk noticed it. The men were tall and handsome, and well-dressed; The woman's appearance is not bad, but she wraps herself in a down jacket like a face pocket, and there are no lines at all. The two of them are like a couple, and they have a bit of tacit understanding between their gestures; But it doesn't look like a couple, their eyes never meet, and there is a sense of deliberate distance.
Predecessor?
The clerk's little sister was bored and made up her mind for them. At the same time, he secretly warned himself that in the future, whether he went downstairs to walk the dog or went out to throw away the garbage, he had to clean it up neatly. Because, maybe just when you're at your worst, you'll run into those ex-boyfriends.
Even if he is doing average now, at least he has to overwhelm them in momentum.
Well, that's it!
In less than three minutes, Huang Mingyue impatiently opened the lid of the bucket of instant noodles and stirred it with a plastic fork. This bucket of braised beef noodles with a large amount of food has not yet been soaked, and the noodles are still semi-soft and not hard. However, Huang Mingyue couldn't care about it so much, her stomach was about to get hungry and a hole came out, and she was almost about to stretch a hand out of her throat because of the aroma of instant noodles.
Jin Wenlu sat quietly beside Huang Mingyue, patiently watching her swallow the bucket of instant noodles that had not yet been soaked in two bites. He really couldn't think of a better word to describe it than swallowing.
Is she that hungry?
However, although Huang Mingyue ate in a hurry, her eating appearance was not ugly, but she ate it very efficiently, which made people wonder if this ordinary braised beef noodle was not an ordinary taste at all.
Jin Wenlu was a little hungry.
Huang Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief, the satisfied feeling of fullness in her stomach made her feel very happy, even if it was brought by cheap junk food like instant noodles. She put down the plastic fork in her hand, held the still warm dough bucket in both hands, and slowly drank most of the remaining half of the soup.
A thin layer of sweat appeared on her body, and Huang Mingyue unzipped the down jacket, revealing the corner of the plain velvet home clothes inside.
Sure enough, people are iron and steel, and they are hungry and panicked if they don't eat a meal.
Huang Mingyue sniffed slightly, cleaned up the mess in front of her, stuffed all the garbage into the empty instant noodle bucket, and then threw it into the trash can next to her.
There was some greasy soup on my hands, which was very unrefreshing. Huang Mingyue was hesitating to buy a pack of tissues at this convenience store to wipe it off, when suddenly a snow-white tissue was handed to her.
"Thank you!" Huang Mingyue took it and wiped it on her fingers, but she didn't rush to throw it away. At a certain moment when she was in a hurry to fill her stomach, she forgot that there was a tricky Jin Wenlu next to her.
"You're hungry?" Jin Wenlu struggled to phrase it.
"Sort of."
"Didn't eat dinner?"
"It's kind of eating." If that slice of red cabbage counts.
When the two confronted each other before, Huang Mingyue's tense and hungry sound not only embarrassed her, but also eased the embarrassment between them.
Huang Mingyue finally got into Jin Wenlu's car, but she stubbornly did not sit in the co-pilot's seat, because Huang Anna's body temperature should still be left there. Jin Wenlu quickly found this 24-hour convenience store located at the intersection. Huang Mingyue felt as if she had been released from a starvation prison, and went straight to the shelves of instant noodles, asking for hot water and instant noodles in one go.
Jin Wenlu's expression was a little complicated: "Don't you have anything to eat at home?" "The Huang family has a skilled cook, listening to Huang Anna said that as long as you eat something delicious in the restaurant outside, go home and describe it carefully, the cook can almost make a ten.
Huang Mingyue smiled and didn't answer.
"Doesn't the Huang family still have a driver?" Jin Wenlu didn't say any more, the subtext was that the Huang family, who was so late at night, was relieved to let her come out alone.
"I just wanted to come out and walk around to get some air, but I didn't expect to suddenly want to eat instant noodles while walking." Huang Mingyue is light and breezy.
Deceitful!
Jin Wenlu looked at Huang Mingyue's delicate side face, her eyebrows slanted slightly towards her sideburns, and a few strands of thin and soft hair were tied into a beautiful arc and stuck tightly to her forehead.
Jin Wenlu remembered that she had been with Huang Mingyue for so long, and she had never seen her eat instant noodles. For her, instant noodles are the same as super junk food, and when she is so hungry that she would rather nibble on bread and biscuits than touch them.
The eldest lady of the dignified Huang Group, in the middle of the night in the cold wind of December, walked alone on the road in circles, just to find a convenience store to eat a bucket of instant noodles - no one will believe it.
Breathable? Could it be that she is very aggrieved in the Huang family?
Jin Wenlu looked at Huang Mingyue carefully, it stands to reason that in just half a year, there should be no change in people's appearance. But the girl in Jin Wenlu's memory whose eyes were as gentle as water seemed to have been lost in the torrent of memory, and the Huang Mingyue in front of her also had gorgeous eyebrows and eyes, a straight nose, a small chin, and even the playful little freckles next to the bridge of the nose were still the same as before. However, Jin Wenlu always felt that she was a little different.
She's not having a good time!
As a passive interloper, Pan Lizhen's mother and daughter should not be vegetarians; And Huang Yiqing, who can ignore their siblings for 20 years, may not be a loving father; Although Pan Jicheng was very attentive to her, he was notorious in the relationship between men and women.
No wonder he could no longer see the bottom of her heart clearly through her eyes, and her big bright and moving eyes seemed to be covered with a haze, and no one would easily peek into her true thoughts.
Jin Wenlu's gaze turned and pretended on Huang Mingyue's black down jacket. She uses black to melt into the night, and she also uses strength and ruthlessness to hide her helplessness and loneliness.
"I remember you never ate instant noodles." Jin Wenlu reached into the pocket of her coat and rubbed a small object inside.
"Really? That was before, and people's tastes always changed. Huang Mingyue decided to make a quick decision, and didn't want to entangle with Jin Wenlu any longer. It was a big mistake to get into his car tonight, and sure enough, hunger can affect one's judgment.
"I really can't imagine that the eldest lady of the Huang Group would have a soft spot for food like instant noodles."
"Maybe." Huang Mingyue was perfunctory, her eyes jumped on the shelves, do you want to buy something to go back?
Jin Wenlu suddenly had a smile on her face: "In addition to instant noodles, what else do you want to eat?" β
Huang Mingyue was stunned for a moment, quickly cleaned up her expression, and jumped off the high stool a little awkwardly: "Thank you for sending me over, now I'm going back." She noticed that the big clock hanging in the convenience store was already pointing to eleven o'clock, and at such an ambiguous point in time, if someone found out that she and Jin Wenlu were together, it would really be unclear to her.
"It's fine." Jin Wenlu nodded.
The two walked out of the 24-hour convenience store one after the other.
The clerk's little sister yawned boredly, and the convenience store next to the high-end residential area was really full of people.
"Goodbye!" Huang Mingyue stood on the steps and did not follow Jin Wenlu to his car.
Jin Wenlu raised her eyebrows in confusion and withdrew the hand that had been placed on the car door.
"I'll walk back slowly." Huang Mingyue explained.
"Oh-" The corners of Jin Wenlu's mouth twitched, and she looked like she was smiling, "Is it also to avoid suspicion?" β
Huang Mingyue forcibly suppressed the uncomfortable feeling in her heart and nodded slowly. He is Huang Anna's manβin his previous life, and in this life. Why did she get involved in this muddy water?
Jin Wenlu once again put her hand into the pocket of her coat, as if she was chilling: "How long do you have to pretend?" β
Huang Mingyue was stunned: "Lawyer Jin, I don't know what you mean?" "Pretend? If it were possible, she would pretend to be for a lifetime, maybe not for a lifetime, time is the most magical thing, it can heal any scar - except hatred!
"You should know what I mean."
Huang Mingyue was a little annoyed for no reason, she knew that Jin Wenlu would not let her go back so easily. It's already eleven o'clock, and Mother Xu may still be waiting for her downstairs to go back, if Huang Anna, who returned late, knows that she is not at home, I don't know how many incidents will happen for no reason after Pan Lizhen knows.
Huang Mingyue took a deep breath, and the cold air stimulated her nasal cavity and cleared her mind a lot.
"Lawyer Kim, I don't know what you mean, but I think I've made my intentions clear." Huang Mingyue tried not to carry too much emotion in her voice, just like the air at this time, cold, "I don't want our current life to be affected because of our previous immature relationship, I sincerely hope that you and Anna can achieve positive results." So, I don't want us to have any connection, whether it's before or after. β
The mocking smile on Jin Wenlu's face widened, but his eyes were shining: "Is this what you call avoiding suspicion?" He deliberately took a step forward.
Huang Mingyue felt a trace of oppression, she straightened her back, and said with a straight face: "Drawing a clear line between us is good for you and me, I hope this is our last exchange on this topic." Hell, Huang Mingyue felt that she was actually a little stammering, and Jin Wenlu took another step forward, and she could clearly see the corners of his mouth full of mockery and his smiling eyes.
"In that case, can Miss Huang explain to me what you mean by wearing this thing close to your body?" Jin Wenlu's smile grew, and he stretched out his hand in the pocket of his coat and spread it out in front of Huang Mingyue's eyes.
"This ......" Huang Mingyue subconsciously reached out to the neck, and it was empty. When did it fall? Could it be that when I was pushing with Jin Wenlu before, it was no wonder that I seemed to hear something falling on the ground.
Huang Mingyue suddenly felt that she was in a mess.
Jin Wenlu glanced at Huang Mingyue with love and pity, and picked up such jewelry with her other hand. The thin silver chain was broken, and the half-moon-shaped charm swayed softly, the mother-of-pearl sparkling with a soft and pleasing sheen.
"Give it back!" Huang Mingyue stretched out her hand towards the necklace without thinking, but she pounced.
Jin Wenlu held the necklace in the palm of her hand and felt its moist touch. Thinking that this half-moon-shaped pendant was worn by Huang Mingyue for more than 100 days and nights, Jin Wenlu had an irrepressible excitement, as if his heart was beating when he saw this pendant lying quietly in the window for the first time in England.
This half-moon-shaped pendant looks ordinary, but it has a history of hundreds of years.
Jin Wenlu still remembered that he was reluctant to let go of this pendant, as if it belonged to someone by nature. The wrinkled bearded old man was babbling in nasal English to introduce him to the origin of the pendant, but Jin Wenlu almost turned a deaf ear.
The moon represents my heart.
The love of the Chinese is very gentle, and they would rather express their nostalgia for the moon, but they are stingy with the face-to-face "I love you". Jin Wenlu spent a lot of money to buy this pendant, but forgot about Juliet's classic lines in "Romeo and Juliet".
"Don't swear by the moon, it's fickle, every month there are ups and downs, and your love will change!"
Perhaps, since this pendant was delivered to Huang Mingyue's hands, Jin Wenlu felt that his feelings had completely escaped his control and were developing in an unpredictable direction.
This ancient ornament from England is supposed to be a cursed ornament.
Jin Wenlu felt that its final destination should be thrown into the trash can by Huang Mingyue, or Huang Mingyue would be kind, and it would also accumulate dust in a corner.
I never expected it......
"Miss Huang, look carefully, is this your thing?" Jin Wenlu spread out his palms again, and the half-moon-shaped charm lay quietly in his palm.
Huang Mingyue suppressed her impulse, nodded and shook her head: "To be precise, it should be Lawyer Jin's thing." "Hold your breath.
"Oh? Miss Huang keeps saying that she wants to avoid suspicion, but she wears the ornament I gave you close to her body, isn't it a little self-deceptive? Jin Wenlu's heart wanted to beat happily, and when Huang Mingyue said those heartless words to him, this pendant should be beating next to her heart.
Huang Mingyue knew that she couldn't make sense, so she simply opened her eyes and said nonsense: "I just think it's pretty beautiful, and it doesn't mean anything else." β
"It's just a worthless little thing." Jin Wenlu pressed forward step by step, "According to Miss Huang's style, shouldn't it be abandoned?" β
Huang Mingyue tried to take her eyes off Jin Wenlu's hand, and her tone was quite cold: "Whatever you think, it's best to return to Zhao now." β
"Really?" What is her problem, does she have to be such a dead duck with a hard mouth?
"Lawyer Kim, if there is nothing else, I'll go first." Huang Mingyue nodded coldly at Jin Wenlu, turned around and left, and walked faster and faster, quite a bit of despondent escape.
Jin Wenlu didn't catch up, he watched Huang Mingyue's dark back disappear into the darkness, gently brought the pendant in his hand to his mouth, and kissed it. (To be continued.) )
