Chapter 271: I promise you, let's try to date! (6,000)
City A, when the lights of thousands of homes are lit, one of the buildings located in the Gold Coast apartment complex is also lit up with warm lights at this time.
It's just that the atmosphere at home is not so warm!
"Situ Zhan, I'm not your wife, why do you care about me so much all day long? Today's *festival, don't you have to spend the holiday with your girlfriend? You've spent most of the day at my house, what do you want? Xiao Qingliang leaned on the back of the sofa, rolled his eyes helplessly, and complained weakly.
Since noon, Situ Zhan knocked on the door and came in, and never left, lunch was eaten at her house, and dinner was eaten, although it was he who brought his own food and vegetables, cooked by himself, and fed her by the way, but his existence taught her not to be free, for example, she wanted to go out to ask friends to drink and party, but he didn't leave, she couldn't even get out of the house!
"I don't have a girlfriend." Situ Zhan was calm and calm, and said unhappily, "Although you are not my wife, you are an artist under me, and I don't want to restrict your personal freedom, but I'm just worried that you will get into trouble, if you are photographed by a reporter with a male artist, and there is a scandal, the troublesome person will be me!" β
Xiao Qingliang sat back on the sofa, she shook Situ Zhan's arm desperately, "Uncle Iceberg, are you making too much of a fuss?" Even if there is a scandal, it's nothing, right? I'm such a big person, since you became my agent, I haven't even talked about a boyfriend, it's so unreasonable! β
Situ Zhan was unmoved, and said lightly, "I'm only five years older than you, you can call me uncle again......"
"Big brother!" Xiao Qingliang saw that the wind and the rudder were also quite powerful, so he immediately changed his words, and smiled, "Hehe, I call you brother, okay?" Then you'll allow me to go out once, okay? β
"Not good!" Situ Zhan vetoed without thinking, he raised his big palm and pressed it on Xiao Qingliang's shoulder, his handsome face was expressionless, "Qingliang, do you simply want to fall in love, or do you already have a man you like?" β
Xiao Qingliang frowned and rubbed his nose, "No, I'm just bored, since my boyfriend died in an accident, I don't want to give my feelings anymore." β
"But your life is still long, your boyfriend has a spirit in the sky, he must not want you to be alone, happiness on the surface does not mean that you are happy in your heart." Situ Zhan said slowly.
Xiao Qingliang was stunned, looked at him with a smile, and muttered, "Really? I like other people, I am with other men, won't he blame me? β
"No, if he really loves you, he won't blame you, he will only want you to be happy and hope that someone can take care of you for him."
The man's determined look shocked Xiao Qingliang's heart, those obsidian-like pupils, as deep as the sea, seemed to have a stable strength, inexplicably convinced of his every word, under the bewitchment of his eyes, she nodded slowly, "Well." β
"Hungry? Would you like to have a late-night snack? The corners of Situ Zhan's lips curled slightly, revealing a rare smile with relief.
As soon as she mentioned eating, Xiao Qingliang's mood immediately changed greatly, and her eyes suddenly brightened, "Can I eat?" I want to eat spicy crayfish, is that okay? β
"Well, you don't have lobsters at home, you can't make them."
"Takeaway!"
"Hmm...... You can't eat too much spicy, it's not good for your stomach. β
"Okay, put less chili peppers, listen to you!"
Xiao Qingliang nodded like pounding garlic, as if he had eaten crayfish excitedly, with a lovely appearance of salivation, which made Situ Zhan laugh, and sighed while taking out his mobile phone to make a takeaway call, "You love to eat so much, one day I will sell you for food, I guess you have no opinion!" β
"Hehe, it's rare for the sun to come out in the west, and you actually agreed to let me eat supper, of course I'm happy!" Xiao Qingliang shook his head, and his depressed mood was swept away.
Situ Zhan smiled, called and ordered two catties of spicy crayfish.
Who knows, Xiao Qingliang kicked his nose on his face, and actually hummed and muttered, "You have to give me food in the future, if you take care of me again, I will ask the company to change agents!" β
"Huh?" Situ Zhan's voice went up, he put away his phone, turned his head sideways to stare at her, his black pupils slowly narrowed, with a bit of danger, "What did you say?" Changing brokers? Xiao Qingliang, are you sure? I seem to have forgotten to tell you, at the end of next month, I will leave my job, and the company will change the agent for you without your request. β
"Huh? What the? Are you leaving? This time it was Xiao Qingliang's turn to be surprised, she didn't care about the cold eyes of the man, she hugged his arms with both hands in a hurry, and asked incredibly, "Is this true?" You're not lying to me, are you? I was just joking, don't take it seriously......"
Situ Zhan pursed his lips, was silent for a moment, and said, "It's true, three months ago, I decided to leave my job, but because of you, it has been delayed until now, and it is scheduled for the end of next month." β
Xiao Qingliang was surprised, "Because of me? β
"Yes, because you ......" Situ Zhan blurted out, but in the face of Shang Xiao's cool and blank eyes, he narrowed his eyes and skimmed away, and said slowly without emotion in his tone, "Because I received your announcements, I need to accompany you to finish filming the scene of "The Legend of the Divine Doctor", as well as other promotional activities. β
Xiao Qingliang couldn't react for a long time, since her debut, Situ Zhan has been her agent for three years, and suddenly ......
However, at this time, how could she have imagined that in the future, when Situ Zhan unloaded his identity as an agent, he would intervene in her life in another capacity more strongly, messing up her heart and forcing her to have nowhere to escape......
β¦β¦
In the dark night, the city lights are brilliant, the white sports car, galloping on the viaduct, the man in the driver's seat, as if crazy, constantly overtaking and speeding, anxious.
Twenty minutes ago, Qiao Xi'an suddenly received a phone call, Li Jiaying cried and said that the house was on fire, and called his name in fear, he was about to ask clearly, the call was disconnected, he hurriedly called back, but he couldn't get through!
In a hurry, he hurriedly dialed 110 and asked the nearest patrol officer to check first, and then he also took the car keys and hurried there.
The two families are usually an hour apart, but tonight it only takes half an hour to arrive, the car is parked downstairs, he pulls out the car keys, and strides into the foyer!
Ring the doorbell, it was the 110 patrol police who came to open the door, and when he saw Qiao Xi'an, the other party immediately politely invited him in, and said, "Mr. Qiao, Miss Li's house just had a little accident in the kitchen, the porridge was overcooked, the pot was boiled dry, causing a small area of fire, we arrived three minutes after receiving the alarm, and the open fire has been extinguished, but the smoke chokes, in order to avoid gas poisoning, Miss Li had better not live here tonight." In addition, we have contacted the fire brigade and asked the firefighters to come over to investigate, and the fire safety hazard has been ruled out, but Miss Li is emotional and has not stabilized yet. β
Hearing this, Qiao Xi'an breathed a sigh of relief, "It's so good, thank you, I'm tired of you!" β
"You're welcome, that's what we're supposed to do." The patrolman hurriedly said.
Qiao Xi'an looked around the living room, and when he didn't see Li Jiaying, he frowned, "What about her?" β
The patrolman pointed in one direction, "Miss Li is in the bathroom, since the accident, she has been hiding in the bathroom and not coming out, no matter how much we persuade her, she will not open the door." β
"What's wrong with this?" Qiao Xi'an's eyebrows tightened tighter, he raised his feet to walk through the bathroom, stopped outside the bathroom door, tried to twist the door lock, but there was no response, it was from the state of reversing the lock, he couldn't help but raise his voice, "Jiaying, it's me, you open the door!" β
"Si'an!"
Li Jiaying's voice was hoarse, and her trembling voice could clearly be heard that she was still in a state of fear, with a crying voice.
Qiao Xi'an comforted her gently, "It's okay, the fire has been extinguished, you come out!" β
Li Jiaying cried all of a sudden, "Woo...... I, my feet are numb, I can't stand up......"
"Huh? So what to do? You try to move to the door and unlock it first. Qiao Xi'an said hurriedly.
"I can't move...... There is a key in the drawer of the TV cabinet, and you take the key to unlock it. β
"Okay, you wait a minute."
Qiao Xi'an immediately turned around, found the key, unscrewed the door lock in three or two clicks, the bathroom was not very big, he looked around for half a circle, and found Li Jiaying in the corner against the wall, she was squatting on the ground, holding her knees with her hands, and was looking at him with teary eyes, looking particularly distressing.
"Good Shadow!"
Qiao Xi'an moved his throat, strode over, leaned over and hugged Li Jiaying horizontally, Li Jiaying threw himself into his arms, hugged his neck firmly, and cried like a child, "Xi'an, I'm so afraid of fire, it's really scary......"
"Don't be afraid, there's nothing to do, I'm here." Qiao Xi'an coaxed her softly, hugged her and walked out, looked at a few patrol officers, and said solemnly, "If you can't live for the time being, I'll take her away, please help with the aftermath, and when it's completely safe, call me to inform you!" β
"It's good."
"Thank you!"
After Qiao Xi'an thanked him, he first put Li Jiaying on the sofa, then walked to the cloakroom, and came out after a while, holding a coat, scarf, mask and gloves, and put Li Jiaying on them one by one. β
"Oh. It's good. Please rest assured, Mr. Qiao! Because of Qiao Zhenbang's relationship, even if Qiao Xi'an is low-key, everyone in the police community knows him, so within the scope of the law, he naturally responds to requests.
went out and left, took the elevator downstairs, Qiao Xi'an always hugged Li Jiaying and put her in the back seat of the carriage, he stroked her messy bangs, and said softly, "How about staying with me for one night tonight?" Or do you stay in a hotel? β
"Si'an, no matter where you live, don't leave me, can you?" Li Jiaying grabbed his big hand, her eyes were hazy with tears, and she sobbed from time to time.
"Hey, I really lost to you, I didn't promise to accompany you for the * festival during the day, and you gave me such a show at night, I have a heart attack and I will be scared out of you!" Qiao Xi'an sighed, very melancholy, "You shouldn't have deliberately caused the fire, right?" β
"No, I ...... I just missed you so much, and then I was so distracted that I forgot that I was making porridge, and then I ......" Li Jiaying said and lowered her head to silence her voice, embarrassed.
Qiao Xi'an's brows were twisted into Sichuan characters, and his tone was serious, "Li Jiaying, what do you like about me?" What do you like about me? Do you know how dangerous you are tonight? In the event of a gas explosion or a fire, do you want to live? β
"I'm sorry, I know that Lu Dao is wrong, I don't know how Lu Dao ...... at the time" Li Jiaying sobbed softly, and didn't dare to look up in shame, "Xi An, I don't know what Lu Dao will like you for, anyway, I like it very much, I feel like I've known you for a long time, when the accident happened, I was scared to death, the first person who thought of asking for help was you, but as I was talking, the flames suddenly burst out, I was startled, and I didn't know where the phone fell, I thought you wouldn't care about me, but I didn't expect ......"
When she said this, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Qiao Xi'an tightly, "You actually care about me, don't you?" Si'an, are you a little tempted by me? β
Qiao Xi'an pursed his lips and looked at her for a moment, he couldn't see any emotion in his waveless black eyes, and finally withdrew without saying a word, closed the rear door, went around to the front of the car, sat in the driver's seat, and started the engine.
The car drove quietly on the street under the moonlit night, the traffic was busy, the neon lights were shining, and countless figures and high-rise buildings passed in front of them, as if those distant years, those youth and love that could not be recalled, and ...... A departed lover.
Qiao Xi'an's calm face couldn't resist the turbulence in his heart, he didn't know what he was still insisting on, from nineteen to thirty years old, he had been looking for eleven years, waiting for eleven years, he didn't know if the lover hidden deep in his heart was still alive? If you are alive, are you married and have children?
Without answers, everything is empty. There is not even the slightest hope.
And the woman who pursued him hard next to him, but from time to time always gave him an inexplicable sense of familiarity, I can't tell the reason, he thinks he is not interested in her, but he is often entangled with her, and when he learns that she is in danger, out of his own expected anxiety, along the way from the flying car, his heart almost jumps out of his throat, it is undeniable that he is worried about her, and he doesn't want her to have an accident, and when he just heard her say that the cause of the fire was that she thought about him too much, he tugged at his heart fiercely, and he couldn't say anything ruthlessβ¦β¦
He suddenly remembered a poem written on the title page of his diary by his aunt Qiao Nian: The mountains and rivers are full of empty thoughts, it is better to pity the people in front of them.
It's better to take pity on the people in front of you......
He chewed silently and repeatedly, his ten fingers gripping the steering wheel very tightly, the string that was pulling in his head, tearing back and forth, and his heart was shaken......
Li Jiaying's numb legs and feet gradually returned to normal, she leaned back in the chair, looked forward sadly, looked at Qiao Xi'an's face in the rearview mirror, she didn't know if he was laughing at her in his heart at this time, or was cold and insensitive, and didn't bother to answer her at all......
After holding on for so long, she was a little tired and wanted to stop and rest, but she was afraid that once she let go, the man would get farther and farther away from her......
Qiao Xian took Li Jiaying to his bachelor apartment, when he was in City A, most of the time, he went home to live, because his father was busy with work and often couldn't go home, he needed to accompany his mother, and occasionally went to the apartment to live alone, and staying in a hotel tonight was too eye-catching, he could only bring Li Jiaying here.
From getting out of the car to going upstairs and returning to the room, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was very quiet.
After changing his shoes and walking into the living room, Qiao Xi'an spoke, "Have you eaten dinner?" Hungry or not? β
"Didn't eat it." Li Jiaying replied honestly.
Qiao Xi'an thought and said, "I haven't lived here for a while, and I don't have food in the refrigerator, so I can only order takeout." What do you want to eat? He said, taking out a few business cards from under the coffee table, "Here's a takeout order, see if there are any dishes you like to eat?" β
Li Jiaying didn't have much appetite, so she casually ordered two dishes and one porridge, but didn't forget to ask him, "Are you hungry?" β
"I'm not hungry."
Qiao Xi'an replied to her, took out his mobile phone and dialed the phone on the business card, and quickly connected, and he hung up after explaining.
Brewed two cups of tea from the kitchen, one cup was placed in front of Li Jiaying, Qiao Xi'an sat down on the sofa opposite her, she was very quiet, lowered her head and wrung her fingers silently.
Qiao Zian didn't know what to say, because he was still a little hesitant, so the two were silent.
"You...... Seems to be afraid of fire? It's always a little uncomfortable to be too quiet, Qiao Xi'an thought about it and found a topic, which is also something he wonders.
Hearing this, Li Jiaying was obviously stiff, and after a few seconds, she nodded slowly, "Well, I'm very afraid of fire." As long as I see the scene of the fire, my head hurts, as if it is about to explode, and it is as if the tongue of fire has swallowed me, and my skin is burned to the pain. β
"So, you hid in the bathroom?" Qiao Xi'an narrowed his eyes and took a sip of tea.
Li Jiaying let out a "hmm" and pursed her mouth tightly.
"Jiaying, have you been stimulated by any fire before? Have you ever seen a doctor? Qiao Xian asked thoughtfully.
Li Jiaying raised her eyes, her eyes were very blank, "I don't know what to do, I have lost part of my memory, and I basically can't remember the previous things." β
"Then you are in City A, are you alone? Where is your home? Are your parents still alive? Qiao Xi'an said casually, since they had been friends for so long, he had never inquired about her private affairs, and when he asked at this moment, it was also because he was a little shaken about her.
Li Jiaying shook her head and said in a sullen tone, "I don't have a father, I only have a mother, she is in Singapore, she has her own family, and I am the only one in the country." β
"So, you spent the Chinese New Year alone in City A?" Qiao Zian was surprised, Chinese New Year's Eve he accompanied her to set off fireworks that night, and he also slept in her apartment for one night, at that time he thought that she should be fatherless and motherless, so he wandered away and did not come home, who knows......
Li Jiaying rubbed her eyes and barely squeezed out a smile, "My father died very early, my mother remarried, and my relatives have been separated for many years and have not been in touch. β
Her tone is relaxed, but the gradually reddened circles of her eyes reveal her heart, no matter how strong a woman is, she will have a fragile side, she will long for the warmth of her relatives, and she will be afraid of loneliness.
She's no different.
Qiao Xi'an suddenly stretched out his hand, across the coffee table, and held her hand, she was surprised, he looked at her fixedly, "Don't be sad, don't think about the past anymore, tell me, have you been burned?" β
"No, no." Li Jiaying was a little frightened, her nervous breathing was disordered, I don't know how this cold man could suddenly make affectionate movements towards her......
However, Qiao Xi'an didn't say anything more, so he let go of her hand and only urged her, "The tea is almost cold, drink it quickly!" β
Soon, the takeaway came, Li Jiaying ate, Qiao Xi'an went into the bathroom to take a shower, and when she finished eating, he also walked out in a nightgown, wiping his wet hair as he walked, and said to her, "If you want to take a bath, I still have a nightgown for you to take a break." β
"Hmm, do you have any extra toiletries?" Li Jiaying nodded and asked.
"There should be, you look for it in the bathroom cabinet."
"Okay."
The night was very late.
When Li Jiaying walked out, it was already past eleven o'clock.
She is 162 small, Qiao Xi'an is 182, the height difference between the two is huge, she is wearing his nightgown, the wide one is almost like a costume, it is particularly funny, Qiao Xi'an, who is half-lying on the sofa, saw this, and couldn't help but chuckle, "Like a child stealing adult clothes." β
"Hate, you're making fun of me!" Li Jiaying's face was blushing and coquettish, she tugged at her neckline uncomfortably, and muttered, "Who told you not to bring me pajamas?" β
Qiao Xi'an raised his eyebrows, "How much could I have thought of at the time?" β
Li Jiaying snorted, turned her head and ignored him.
Qiao Zian stopped teasing her, and ordered, "Okay, go back to the bedroom and sleep." Rest early. β
"Which bedroom?"
"Master bedroom."
"What about you? Where do you sleep? Li Jiaying was surprised, isn't the master bedroom where the master lives?
Qiao Xi'an hooked his lips and looked lazy, "I sleep on the sofa." β
"What are you doing? Why do you sleep on the couch? Li Jiaying was stunned, and her eyelashes blinked quickly.
Qiao Xi'an sighed slowly, "Because I only have one bedroom here, and the rest of the bedrooms are used as study and piano room, except for you, I usually only live in this apartment, so I don't need extra *." β
"Uh......" Li Jiaying swallowed her saliva silently, and slowly popped out a sentence, "If that's the case, or you...... You sleep too*, right? β
Qiao Xi'an raised his eyes, "Huh? β
"Didn't we sleep with one last time at my house*? The sofa was uncomfortable, so ...... "Li Jiaying, as a woman, invited men to share a pillow, and she was really embarrassed when she was sober, so as not to misunderstand the man, she blushed her whole face and stammered, "You, don't worry, I won't eat you, I guarantee that you are innocent and ......"
The corners of Qiao Xi'an's mouth hooked up a grin, he suddenly got up from the sofa, walked towards her slowly, when he passed by her, he grabbed her shoulders with his big hand, and walked towards the bedroom with her, his voice was lazy, and the words he spit out seemed to her to be natural, "Li Jiaying, I promise you, let's try to date." β
"What, what?" Li Jiaying's brain boomed, she stopped abruptly, looked at him in disbelief, and asked urgently, "What did you say?" You promised to deal with me? Is this true? β
