Overnight Stay (3)
There was no one outside the door, and she walked out and saw Cheng Yijie standing in front of the oil painting hanging on the bedroom wall, looking up at the painting. The curtain was opened, and the room was bright, and he was dressed in a light-colored casual suit, fresh and handsome, reflecting the sunlight shining through the window, he was like a luminous body, and the light flickered.
"This painting is the first piece of art in my collection." Cheng Yijie heard the sound and opened his mouth first. He didn't look back, still looking at the painting on the wall.
Mu Qingcheng involuntarily approached him, looking up, the name of the oil painting is "Rainy Path", depicting a road on the plain, there is nothing special, the author is not well-known, she does not understand why Cheng Yijie chose this work as the starting point of the collection.
"At that time, I had just returned to Xilin from abroad to take over the family business, and I was in a rather confused state. I grew up abroad for more than 20 years, and suddenly I was left in this city and faced a turning point in my life.
It was also at that time that when I saw this oil painting, the work itself had a feeling of confusion and loneliness, which was very suitable for my mood of not being able to see how to go on the road ahead, so I spent 18,000 yuan to buy this painting. ”
He turned his head, and an almost desolate expression appeared on his face, which was unfamiliar to Mu Qingcheng, completely different from his usual arrogance and uninhibitedness.
"The word 'lost' is not a good word." Mu Qingcheng corrected, "How can a pretentious person like you be 'lost'." ”
The corners of Cheng Yijie's lips raised slightly, and he looked down at her. "You look good in this dress, but I think it looks better if you don't. According to my visual inspection, your measurements are 36, 24, 36, which is very standard. ”
The heat on Mu Qingcheng's face, which had already subsided, quickly rose again, and she took a few steps back defensively, and scolded angrily: "Why are you always so nasty!" ”
"I'm amorous, not lewd." Cheng Yijie said it seriously.
Mu Qingcheng turned around and ran out of the bedroom. This is a sky villa, the bedroom is on the third floor, Mu Qingcheng runs down the stairs, the modern style living room on the first floor is designed in cool colors, full of elegance, bright floor-to-ceiling windows can not only enhance the brightness of the whole space, but also enjoy the beautiful scenery outside. She saw her handbag on the sofa in the living room, took it and was about to leave, when she passed the kitchen when a man came out of it, and the two almost bumped into each other.
Mu Qingcheng was startled and stunned on the spot.
The man smiled at her kindly. "Hello, beauty." He looked young, twenty-four or five years old, with low eyebrows, beautiful eyes slightly sunken inward, soft lips, very gentle, very delicate. Tall, with a healthy complexion, he is a beautiful man full of vitality.
"My name is Cheng Lang, and I am Cheng Yijie's younger brother. I often come to stay with my brother, and when I came last night, you were already asleep. Seeing Mu Qingcheng's stunned, the man introduced himself again, "Lunch has been prepared for you, and you can start eating soon." By the way, what should I call you? It's the first time I've seen my brother take a woman back to his apartment, and he hasn't seen anyone before. ”
"You misunderstood, I'm not ......" Mu Qingcheng was anxious to explain that she and Cheng Yijie were not that kind of relationship, but how could she explain the situation like last night.
She was worried, Cheng Yijie also came down the stairs, he skillfully put his hand over and put it on her small waist, and said in an affectionate tone: "My brother's cooking skills are good, you can try the red wine steak he makes, the taste is no worse than that in a Western restaurant." ”
What Mu Qingcheng cared about was Cheng Yijie's hand, she wanted to break the hand on her waist, but he grabbed her hand. "After eating obediently, I'll take you to the scene that you didn't go to after the lockdown was lifted last night, and solve all the puzzles for you one by one. I have already asked for leave for Yu Qingsheng for you, and I don't have to go to work in the afternoon. ”
Mu Qingcheng was stunned. "What did you tell him?"
"I said that you drank too much last night, and you couldn't wake up no matter how you screamed, so I just let you sleep until you wake up naturally. He agreed. Cheng Yijie replied casually.
"How can you say that!" Mu Qingcheng stomped his feet angrily, "He will misunderstand...... Misunderstanding ......"
"Misunderstanding what?" Cheng Yijie asked deliberately.
Mu Qingcheng's face was crimson, and he couldn't speak.
Cheng Lang watched them from the sidelines. "You two are really interesting, let's go eat first, fill your stomach, and flirt with more strength."
"That's right, if you have any opinions, I'll mention them after dinner." Cheng Yijie couldn't help but say, pulled Mu Qingcheng and went to the restaurant.
Mu Qingcheng was extremely reluctant to be pulled into the dining room by him and sat on the dining chair.
The restaurant is also in cold colors, mainly solid wood color, very elegant, she can't help but think of Cheng Yijie, who seems to be prodigal on the surface, but in fact he should be cold and arrogant in his bones.
Cheng Lang brought a steak first, put it in front of Mu Qingcheng, and then entered the kitchen.
The fresh and tender steak, with broccoli, baby tomatoes, lemon slices, red, yellow and green, has all the color, flavor and arousal of Mu Qingcheng's appetite.
