Chapter 223: Don't forget to dig a pit at any time
After chatting with Vera for a while, if it weren't for playing games with Vera, he wouldn't be very interested in games now, and Wei Jia'an quickly left the study.
When he came to the living room, he saw Bria sitting on the sofa, holding the pillow tightly with both hands, she was really a bright and cute girl, and she was watching a variety show again.
He turned to the balcony, where his sister, Delin, and Xia Jia sat at another table.
In order to make Xia Jia owe more to himself, so that he can better support him, his sister is very keen to invite Xia Jia to play cards, and he knows it.
If you win to make money, if you lose, it's a big deal to pick up and drop off school, Xia Jia doesn't refuse any cards.
She still cares about betting, she cares about making money. Even if it's not a card game, checkers, chess, chess doesn't matter anything - of course, Wei Jiajia invited her to play a few games that purely tested her skills, and after a few fiascos, her skills were very good, and she was never invited again - otherwise she would not be able to lift her energy, it would be better to sleep.
He looked at her, the combination of black dress and white apron, black hair shawl, remembered the conversation he had just had with Vera, and laughed.
I only whined and mourned in the morning, and the monthly manuscript fee was only so pitiful. The level can't be like that, at least it can be updated a little more, and now it's actually sitting on the game again. He really didn't want to say anything about Delin, it was useless to say it, he wouldn't listen anyway, and he would just say that he didn't want to work hard every time.
He walked to the balcony first and watched a few people play cards.
My sister is a good card again, and she must have won again. I really don't know why her luck is always so good. However, her good luck is limited to ten consecutive games, playing cards and catching cards, buying drinks, melon seeds and often winning the lottery or something...... It doesn't seem like she ever bought a lottery ticket?
Delin sat there, always elegant, and could be on the cover of any magazine she could take pictures of, but she had the most "vicious" idea in mind, which could be seen from the look in her eyes. Her main problem is bad luck, bad cards, even if she makes small moves, she still loses when she deserves to lose.
He is not very interested in playing cards, only the people who play cards together, and after taking a look, he still goes back to the living room, lies on the sofa and plays with his mobile phone, and browses the forum.
The sound of pushing the door suddenly sounded, and Su Ran came.
She has been coming over a lot these days, and as for the reason why she was able to come in directly, Wei Jia'an gave her the door code. My sister once cautiously said, how can my brother give the door code to people casually, he means that Su Ran can believe it, so he was muttered by his sister, it must be interesting to others.
Su Ran came as soon as he came, he just glanced at it and didn't care about it, just waited until she walked to the living room, and asked casually: "Such a good day, don't you go out to play?" ”
From the balcony, the weather today was really nice, cloudless and sunny. It just so happens that autumn has entered October, and the temperature has dropped a lot compared to midsummer, so it is just right to wear a dress. Moreover, Lin Xiu planted osmanthus trees along the street, which was the season of opening at this time, and the fragrance was full of streets.
Su Ran didn't pick the side where Bria was sitting, but sat near him, so that he was lying down, and he had to sit up a little: "Didn't you go out?" ”
Wei Jia'an said, "None of us like ......," he said, pausing, "I suddenly found that several of us here seem to belong to the kind of house." ”
He thought for a moment and said, "I'm the one who doesn't go out anyway." Jiajia's words...... "My sister seems to like to play everywhere, like to pull herself out, go shopping or watch movies, but I have basically never seen her go out to play alone."
He chose to skip his sister: "Vera is really an otaku, she plays with the computer every day." Especially now that there is Xia Jia, she doesn't need to go out to eat rice noodles every day, I don't know how many days she hasn't been out. Delin's words, she doesn't seem to be very interested in going out, right? ”
Speaking of Delin, Bria had something to say, and she interjected: "Dede has always been very homely, it is better to say that mages like her who are engaged in research are more homely." She often stayed in the mage tower, ten days and half a month at a time, and came out unkempt. But even if she is unkempt, she is still the pearl of Weilan. ”
She subconsciously bit her lip: "Except for the occasional party and shopping with our Rose Knights, she never seems to participate in any hunting and dance parties, she reads books every day, stays in the garden to enjoy afternoon tea, and pets cats." ”
Every time she talked about Delin, Bria was always endless, Wei Jia'an tried to divert the topic, he asked, "Bria, what about you, do you like to go out, or stay at home?" ”
"Me, I don't care, it's okay to stay at home, it's okay to go out."
"It's so casual." Wei Jia'an said, turning to Su Ran, "Su Ran seems to like to play around, right?" Go shopping, maybe go to various parties or something. He imagined that people like Su Ran should drive luxury cars and participate in some luxurious upper-class banquets.
"You know again." Su Ran said that she imitated his words.
"Feeling." He said.
"You don't feel right." "I don't like to go shopping, I only go out with a few sisters occasionally. I work for the Foundation, and do you think a Foundation focused on the study of mysteries is so flamboyant and throws parties from time to time? We don't have to deal with any companies or attend any parties. Sometimes, though, work requires dealing with quite a few people. ”
Wei Jia'an said: "Anyway, you are not a house, I remember that you like to drive and travel everywhere." ”
"That's staying in Lin Xiu, I don't have any friends, and I can't do anything." Su Ran said, "I like to read, I like to take a bath, I like to read while taking a bath, and I also study mysteries, and occasionally travel around the world for mysteries." I've been to all five continents and four oceans. I've been to the pyramids, I've been to the rainforest, and I've had deep sea diving. ”
"Remarkable." Wei Jia'an said that he really admired.
"When I wasn't working, I ran a shop, a small antique shop, but it was actually the Foundation's property," she said. Cursed compasses, demonic finger bones, kappa arms, blinking paintings, voodoo statues, mermaid candles, are also sold. ”
Regarding Su Ran's opening of an antique shop, Wei Jia'an said: "No." ”
"How not?" Su Ran said, "The fountain pen I gave Jiajia is a product in our store. ”
"Can that kind of thing be sold?" He asked.
"Why not?" "Of course we don't sell dangerous things, we only sell safe goods," she said. Anyway, I've been open for so long, and I don't know how many ordinary customers I've received, but I rarely meet people who are willing to buy. Because we sell real materials, the price is naturally not cheap. ”
She paused and laughed, "There are quite a few playboys coming at me, and at that time, it would be good to use spells to inflict a small punishment." Among them, there are some very good rich people, but ordinary people are still exempt. ”
"Why are ordinary people exempt?"
"Because of the people of two worlds."
Wei Jia'an listened, and suddenly wanted to ask: "If I was just an ordinary person at the beginning, you would never have looked at me, right?" ”
"Of course." She rightly said.
Wei Jia'an stopped talking, although he already knew why the other party was close to him, he was a little worried.
Su Ran seemed to guess his thoughts, and she asked:
"If I were a fat girl who is 1.5 meters tall, you probably wouldn't want to talk to me. If Vera had a pockmarked face and a flat chest, you would definitely not like her, and I am afraid you would not talk to her at first. If Delin wasn't so beautiful and had such a scumbag personality, you would definitely annoy her. Where it is like now, no matter what she does, she is not angry. ”
Wei Jia'an opened his mouth, did not make a sound, and nodded sincerely.
"At first, I was thinking that Jia'an, you are not an ordinary person, and the relationship between you and Delin, but after knowing each other for so long, I think Jia'an is very good." Su Ran said, "If Jia'an has nothing now, he will still be my friend." I also believe that even if I don't have anything now, Jia An will treat me as a friend. ”
"Of course." Wei Jia'an said, why did he suddenly feel that Su Ran was very sincere and a friend, and he felt very comfortable talking to her.
Su Ran smiled, what an easy guy to deal with.
Wei Jia'an was not ready to continue that topic, now it was another aspect of concern, he asked casually: "How is the store you run, is there any photos, I'll take a look." ”
"Yes." Su Ran said, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and opened it.
Wei Jia'an took her mobile phone and flipped through the picture, there is indeed an antique shop in the photo, the overall decoration is biased towards black and white, in broad daylight, except for a little light from the window, there is no other light source, revealing a sense of mystery and old. Those goods include sofas, tables and chairs, coffee tables, cabinets, watches, jewelry, and precious stones, and there are murals on the walls, figure paintings, and a rotating sky.
Su Ran sat next to him and introduced.
"This is the scarab, we got it from inside the pyramid. It's kind of like if you watch the movie The Scarab Beetle in The Mummy, which comes to life when necessary. This thing is very dangerous, I usually put it in a drawer, not on the shelf for ordinary people to touch. ”
"A silver cross that can be used to ward off evil spirits. It doesn't matter if ordinary people buy this thing, we sell it for a million dollars, it's cheap, right? ”
"A Victorian chest of drawers, we bought from an old castle. There's nothing special about this thing, it's just that it used to ...... We suspect that its former owner was a vampire, but we have no conclusive proof. Just put it out there and didn't intend to sell it. If anyone knows where it came from, tell us and we can give it to him. ”
Wei Jia'an listened with relish, kept looking through it, listened to Su Ran tell the story behind the goods, and at this time saw a photo of a person - a woman sitting by the window reading a book, she was wearing a black dress, a hood, a drop-shaped gem hanging from the brim, and a looming black veil on her face, revealing only a pair of beautiful eyes, looking mysterious and charming.
Su Ran asked, "Guess who she is?" ”
Wei Jia'an stared at the photo, unable to see the woman's face clearly through the black veil, but he was sure that the woman had a beautiful face. He frowned slightly, turned to Su Ran, and said, "It can't be you, right?" In fact, when Su Ran opened his mouth, he suspected that it was her, because a pair of beautiful eyes were familiar, but he couldn't believe it.
"Did it take that long to recognize me?" She said.
"I've recognized it for a long time, but I'm not sure." Wei Jia'an said, "Look at how fashionable you usually dress, and the person in the photo is dressed ...... Anyway, it just feels like the two of you are not from the same world at all. ”
"Clothes, change them casually." She said indifferently, and then laughed, "I think you seem to like the way I wear that outfit, I can show you that." How about it, do you want to see it? ”
Wei Jia'an was not the slightest reserved, he said: "Okay. ”
She spread her hands: "I'm sorry, I didn't bring that set of clothes." If you're willing to go to our foundation, I can wear it for you. ”
"Forget it." Wei Jia'an waved his hand decisively, and continued to look through the photos, another photo, Su Ran was holding a white shirt from behind, wearing a black suit, a black tie, a black bowler hat, and her long golden hair was combed to the side, hanging down from her chest, looking a particularly chic and handsome beauty. Su Ran held one hand up, and it must have been the one holding the mobile phone to take this photo.
He didn't ask anything, Su Ran said excitedly: "My colleague, my good friend, is very beautiful, right?" More than just pretty, she's pretty much the next leader of our foundation. As long as you are willing to come to our foundation, I can introduce her to you. ”
Wei Jia'an glanced at Su Ran, and he said, "Look at your excited appearance, it's just your colleague and good friend?" ”
"It's a pity that it's a girl, if it's a boy, we might be married by now...... Probably not yet, because no one will speak first, and whoever speaks first loses. Su Ran said that it is impossible to do everything as you wish, and now this situation can only be to introduce excellent men to each other, but it is also a joke, in short, whoever falls in love first loses.
"It's a shame." Wei Jia'an said, "Otherwise, I want to see your geniuses' love mind war." ”
"What did you say?" Su Ran asked, she began to try to watch anime and play games, but it was impossible to finish so many works at once.
"Nothing." Wei Jia'an said.
He continued to look at the pictures, and there were no more photos of the goods in the back, and it became a mess of tourist photos, architectural photos, and food photos, and Su Ran said which was the researcher of their foundation, and where was the laboratory of their foundation, the water of the Ganges River was miserable, and the pyramid was originally white.
When Wei Jia'an returned the phone to Su Ran, he felt satisfied, and he really had a long insight today.
Su Ran took back her mobile phone, and she said, "Wait for the National Day...... I can't do anything about Nadrin, I'll give you a copy of the information. If you really want to set foot on the side of the world, you have to read them all. You don't know anything now, there's so much to learn. ”
She paused and said, "Don't worry, it's not difficult, I will teach you...... Because of the man I liked. ”
Wei Jia'an saw his sister standing on the screen door from the balcony to the living room out of the corner of his eye, and he was sure that the other party's last sentence was deliberate.
