Chapter 42, The Masquerade.
The warm sun was shining on her body, Yan Xi was carrying a bag of fruits, and before she arrived at the clubhouse, she heard a baby's cry, she quickened her pace and pushed open the glass door of the club.
"The baby is here! Don't cry, don't cry, auntie hug. Yan Xi put down the shopping bag in his hand and took the crying baby into his arms from Yao Yao's hand, shaking it gently.
Every time the baby came, Yan Xi hugged her, so she stopped crying with face.
"Baby, sleep, baby, sleep......"
Yan Xi walked around the clubhouse with the baby in his arms, coaxing softly.
The little baby sucked and sucked, sucked and sucked, and cried again with a 'wow~'.
"Oh! If you don't cry, don't cry, aren't you hungry! Do you want to drink grandma? Don't cry, don't cry, Auntie will take you up to find your mother. "In the face of the baby, Yan Xi will always show the extremely gentle side.
"Xiaowan, the baby seems to be hungry." Yan Xi entered the private room.
Su Xiaowan was lying on the beauty bed, and Jiang Li made her essential oil on her back, and she couldn't breastfeed.
"I have milk powder in my bag, you can help me make some for her first." Su Xiaowan raised her head and pointed to her bag, "There is a milk bottle in it, you help me pour 100 ml of warm boiled water, the milk powder is all packed, pour a grid into it, you can't shake the bottle to produce foam, you have to hold the bottle with both hands and roll it back and forth, so that the milk powder can be fully dissolved and will not foam." ”
"Oh, okay." Yan Xi was stunned when she heard this, it's not easy to be a mother! There is so much knowledge to make a milk powder!
Yan Xi soaked the milk powder, and as soon as the pacifier was close to the baby's mouth, she opened her mouth wide like a bird waiting to be fed, and she took the pacifier and sucked it hard, thinking that she was very hungry.
The baby fell asleep after drinking milk, and Yan Xi sat on another beauty bed with the baby in her arms.
Su Xiaowan married far away and had no friends, and her age was about the same as Jiang Li, and Jiang Li became the object of her bitterness.
"I am married far away, I only go home once a year, and I want to take the baby home for the New Year this year, but my mother-in-law will not let me."
"Then your mother-in-law is a little lenient!"
"My mother-in-law is very strong, she has to take care of everything, the child doesn't help to watch, and she doesn't have back pain when she stands and talks every day."
"Then why don't you talk to your husband and move out! Don't live with your mother-in-law. ”
"I've talked about it a long time ago, my husband is an only son, as soon as he says he wants to move out, his mother-in-law will not let him live or die, my husband only developed his career here last year, he also loves to play all day and say that he is social, and he can't see anyone in the middle of the night, and I am going crazy all day long at home in the face of my mother-in-law's troubles."
"It's really not easy to do this, try to ask your husband to communicate more with your mother-in-law, there will be a lot less conflicts when you move out to live, and you will be much freer."
"That's right! Moving out is at least out of sight, and you don't have to be criticized by her every day as soon as you wake up, alas! I really regret marrying far away, and I don't dare to quarrel when I quarrel. ”
"Why don't you dare to argue?" Hearing this, Yan Xi couldn't help but ask.
"Because I don't have my mother's backing! You don't know if you're not married yet, your mother's family is strong, your mother-in-law will look ahead, your mother's family is weak, and your mother-in-law will show off her power directly. ”
"If it's me, I must quarrel when I should argue," Yan Xi said seriously: "Why don't you look at the child and point fingers, I will cut off your hands, and your husband, why does he go out to play, you have to watch the children at home, and you have to be poisoned by your mother-in-law." ”
"You don't understand, my mother-in-law is not like my mother, sometimes she will hold a grudge against her for several days, if you quarrel with her, you will really not be able to live that day." Su Xiaowan said helplessly: "As soon as I said my husband, he said that he needed work and had to go out to socialize." ”
"Then you tell him to take you with him!"
"He said that it was all the entertainment of colleagues and customers, and no one else brought his wife, and the baby was still young, and he had to breastfeed every once in a while, so he couldn't do without me at all." Su Xiaowan sighed.
Yan Xi shook his head, what hope is there in this day? It's going to be a lot of trouble! This is......
Yan Xi was just about to speak, Jiang Li coughed lightly to stop her, she knew that Yan Xi was going to instill Su Xiaowan with the concept of not giving in and not wronging herself, but everyone has their own lives, and their personalities dictate, customers open their hearts to them, spit out bitterness, they are quiet listeners, and occasionally pay a little attention, but Yan Xi will always be indignant when she hears this, and will instill in customers not to be wronged, not to compromise, to be kind to yourself, it's a big deal to divorce, the mobile phone is very fun, the wine is also delicious, the world is so beautiful, Who can't turn this earth without it? Why should you be wronged?
"Xiaowan, I think you should resist, you should be stronger." Yan Xi grinned at Jiang Li disappreciatively, revealing a mouthful of neat white teeth, Jiang Li shook his head.
"Easier said than done! I'm just too cowardly. Su Xiaowan sighed.
"Take your time," Jiang Li said, "The most important thing at the moment is to ask your husband to convince your mother-in-law that as long as you move out, I believe you will be free of worries immediately." ”
"yes!"
Yan Xi thought to himself: Not necessarily! She also has a husband who doesn't take her every day and can't return home every night!
After Su Xiaowan left, Yan Xi asked Jiang Li, "Why didn't that Li Zhihong deliver food these days, and when he went to your house, he felt that it was done, and he didn't come to deliver food and stammered with me by the way." ”
"I told him I had a boyfriend, and asked him not to send it, and it wouldn't help if I sent it again." Jiang Li signed the customer file and said slowly.
"Then I won't have free lunch in the future." Yan Xi looked at her, "You are with me every day, where did you get your boyfriend." Yan Xi reacted for two seconds, then subconsciously made a chest-hugging action, and said in a panic: "It won't be me!" Tut-tut, I treat you as a best friend, and you actually want to sleep with me. ”
"If you want to eat a free lunch, ask your star to send it, and by the way, send me an extra one to eat." Jiang Li didn't raise his head, "Don't worry!" You don't have a bird and I don't want to sleep with you. ”
"Li Zhihong is actually okay, why do you want to refuse him."
"Didn't you notice?" Jiang Li looked up at her, "His hands are very dirty, his nails are all black, I went out with him to eat two meals, and I couldn't eat his nails at all, I couldn't help it, I couldn't accept it." ”
"I didn't pay attention to it, but it's kind of disgusting to think about."
"What are you two talking about?" Ah Hong walked over and took out two invitations from her bag and handed them to the two of them, "Now, here you are." ”
"What's that?" Yan Xi picked up the invitation, and the cover said, If you want to get the best thing in the world, please let the world see the best of you first.
Jiang Li flipped through the invitation, "Masquerade?" ”
"Hmm~ and this." Hong placed a box in front of each of them, each containing an eye patch and a half-face mask.
"Halloween is over, and there are still people holding costume parties!"
"Halloween's earth-shattering ghosts and gods with makeup, masquerade is different." Ah Hong looked longing, "The masquerade ball is the most romantic passion party, one by one wearing exquisite masks, the old people don't know each other, oh! Full of charm and splendid atmosphere, it is simply not too romantic. ”
"Then why are there only two invitations, aren't you going with us?" Jiang Li asked.
"I'm not going," Ah Hong patted them on the shoulder, "This dance party in the evening is full of young talents, handsome men and beautiful women, suitable for you to go fishing for a golden beetle son-in-law, dating *, I, a married person, is not suitable to go, you go, you are allowed to get off work early in the evening and dress up beautifully, good waves!" ”
"Hong, you're so nice......"
"Thank you, ...... Hong"
As night falls, a private entertainment club is filled with passionate music.
The brilliant and changing lights cast a mesmerizing charm in the ambilight, everyone wears masks, simple or exaggerated, and there is a touch of self-evident ease in addition to mystery and novelty.
The dazzling dance party, there is the passion and excitement of the night, in this fantastic and brilliant light, there are dream-like beautiful women, there are graceful noble princes, and elegant temperament is spinning and jumping in the air.
On the sofa in the corner, Yan Xi was wearing a black dress with a short front and a long back, wearing a black lace veil and a half-face mask, with a red crystal in the center of the mask's eyebrows, three-dimensional black lace flowers on the edge of the eyemask, and a big-eyed fishnet covering the lower half of her face, with cold red lips, the ultimate charm.
Jiang Li next to him was wearing a one-shoulder-high slit black dress, elegant and sexy, wearing a side-flowered black feather half-face lace mask on his face, and a row of black smart feathers on the right, black lace was very tempting.
"Have you reported to your star?" Jiang Li shook the red wine in his hand.
"Well, of course, I told him that the two of us were going out to fish for Kaizi in the evening."
"And what did he say?"
He said, "Go!" Have fun. ”
"He's too relieved of you!"
"That's wrong, he has confidence in himself," Yan Xi lifted the mesh and drank a big sip of red wine, "This Ah Hong, why did you prepare a mask with a mesh veil for me, and deliberately didn't let me drink!" ”
"What a drink! You still have the heart to drink, so many princes at night, everyone wears masks, and no one knows anyone, hum, hum, hum, ......" Jiang Li hooked the corner of his mouth, and the evil charm was seductive.
"What do you want to do? Take the opportunity to rub the oil? Yan Xi stretched out his hand, the moon was dark and the wind was high on the night, and it happened that a man next to Jiang Li walked by, and Yan Xi reached out and patted the man's buttocks lightly.
The man stopped, and looked at Yan Xi's hand before he had time to withdraw it with the gorgeous spotlight.
Yan Xi felt a burning gaze, and slowly withdrew his hand, why is it cheap, why is it cheap! To die, to die.
Just as Yan Xi was about to stand up and apologize, he heard the man's deep voice.
"Excuse me, do I have the pleasure of inviting you to dance?"
The man gentlemanly bent down and extended an inviting gesture to Jiang Li.
"Of course." Yan Xi helped Jiang Li respond.
Jiang Li leaned close to Yan Xi's ear, "What?" Blessed you enjoy, I should be in trouble! ”
"Tsk, how do you speak, at most, I drink soup and you eat meat, this man is a successful person at first glance, you look at his dress, look at his majestic body," Yan Xi gently pushed her, "Look at it!" How sincerely he invites you, go! ”
"It's so good, why don't you go."
"No, he doesn't like me, go eat meat! It's rude to keep people waiting too long. Yan Xi pushed Jiang Li,
Jiang Li raised her eyes to look at the man on the side, a pair of deep black eyes looked at her through the delicate golden mask, her eyes were full of sincerity, and she slowly stretched out her hand to put it on the warm palms.
Inside the dance floor.
Jiang Li danced with the man and was so in tune that she couldn't help but look at the man a few more times.
"Do you know me?" The man leaned in to her ear and asked.
Jiang Li shook his head.
"But I know you." The corners of the man's mouth rose, "Jiang Li, 21 years old this year, lives at the junction of Zhixi Street and Zhenxing Street, and when you were a child, you still had a crush on the big brother of the neighbor next door, right." ”
"Who are you? How do you know. Jiang Li asked in surprise, she was not surprised by the rest of the era of advanced information, she was surprised that even Jiang Qi didn't know about the big brother who had a crush on the neighbor's family, and then the neighbor's family moved away, and no one knew, even she forgot about it, how did the man in front of her who had never met know about it?
"Do you want to guess." The man curled one corner of his lips and smiled.
"I don't guess, I don't say it." Jiang Li stopped and let go of his hand, "I'm out of company." ”
"It's still a child! If you don't agree with each other, you will turn your face. The man grabbed Jiang Li, took off the mask on his face, and then reached out to untie her mask, and a series of actions flowed.
Jiang Li's anger disappeared in an instant after seeing his face.
"Do you know each other now?" The man laughed.
"You are Xu Yiran, and you are Brother ......Yiran," Jiang Li smiled.
"Little girl."
Subsequently, Jiang Li and Xu Yiran were invited out of the dance party by the organizer because they untied their masks.
