I looked out the window at the dark night, my thoughts were complicated, and although I avoided it, I couldn't help but think about the shadow, which made me miserable.

I talked to Brother Jinyang until late, and he stayed in the guest room of the apartment, which was a common thing when they took care of me.

It was during this conversation that I had an idea, that is, I wanted to get close to Xiang Lingxue and know that I would not be defeated in a hundred battles.

After returning to China, I saw Xiang Lingxue a month later, at a dinner party, that day was a small family banquet, the Xiao family's family banquet.

It was also the first time I stepped into Xiao's house after returning to China, as a stranger.

Of course, I don't have to worry about anyone recognizing me.

Like I said, even I don't know myself, let alone anyone else.

I went with Jinyang, and Jinyang went back to the United States and came back again.

Because today is another birthday for Old Man Xiao.

When Jinyang and I walked into Xiao's house, it was brightly lit and the living room was magnificent.

In fact, everything here is so familiar to me, because the Xiao family has never changed, and it is still the same Xiao family, like old wine, more and more simple and mysterious, showing the luxury and glory of the Xiao family everywhere.

I bought a pair of souvenirs for the old man, 14 layers of ivory carving, which of course is expensive, and the ivory is not allowed to enter and exit the country, what you want is a rarity.

I went to see the old man, Grandpa Xiao saw the old man this time, his hair was completely white, but his spirit was the same as before.

Jinyang walked over with me and introduced me to Mr. Xiao in a matter-of-fact manner, "Grandpa Xiao, this is Tina, a Chinese-American architectural designer from the United States, is she beautiful?" ”

Old Man Xiao looked at me kindly, and I bent over to salute, "Grandpa, hello!" This is my gift to you, I wish you a blessed East China Sea Shoubi Nanshan! ”

His deep eyes looked at me directly, and his smile was still there, but it didn't make me feel very comfortable.

He is 84 years old, and the year I left was his 80th birthday.

"Thank you, Miss, welcome to come, your voice is so good, like one of my granddaughters!" His words made my heart skip a beat.

He reached out to take my gift, but his eyes kept staring at me, and then unexpectedly opened the box in front of me, took out the pair of souvenirs, played with them in his hands, and said lightly, "I have a heart!" ”

Then Jinyang took me away, and I deliberately browsed in the living room, making a good show.

But there was a bitterness in my heart.

At this time, Xiao Tianyu and Xiang Lingxue walked down from the upstairs together, and I looked at it, Xiang Lingxue was still the same Xiang Lingxue, glamorous and refined...... Oh, maybe I'm the one who refines this time.

There was a big smile on her face, which was in stark contrast to Xiao Tianyu's coldness, and I felt ironic standing in the corner. I really admire Xiang Lingxue's persistence, no matter how the years have changed, her pursuit has always remained the same.

I clenched my fists tightly, my nails digging into my palms, warning me to refrain from emotion.

I really can't imagine that there is such an indifferent person around her, why she laughs so freely.

Soon she noticed me, it was supposed to be a small family banquet today, so there were not many ladies, especially young ladies, but fortunately, Jinyang was by my side.

She slowly moved over and greeted Jinyang, "Brother Jinyang, do you have time to come back this year?" ”

"Yes! Grandpa's birthday must come back! ”

She raised her eyes to look at me, and I looked at her neither humbly nor arrogantly, without a trace of emotion, but a raging fire was already burning in my heart, and she was really good, and the spring breeze was proud.

I couldn't help but look at her slender legs.

"Brother Jinyang, this is ......" She looked at me with a long voice, smiling very charmingly.

“Tina，......”

"Oops! Sure enough, I heard that Xiaolin International hired a master, but I didn't expect to be so young? She interrupted Jinyang, "It's really subverting my definition of a master!" ”

"Prettier!" Jin Yang said jokingly, because from Xiang Lingxue's mouth, he would never praise anyone for being beautiful.

"This is the most beautiful beauty designer in the world, and it lives up to its name!" Jinyang deliberately teased her.

"Look at our brother Jinyang, it's not leisurely to praise your girlfriend!" Xiang Lingxue smiled.

"It's for all to see! It's still leisurely, take a look, natural beauty! Jinyang is not shy about it.

"Hello! I'm Xiang Lingxue! She held out her hand to me, "You're very welcome to join Xiaolin International!" ”

"Thank you!" I politely touched her hand like a dragonfly, and it was over.

"You can play with me when you have time in the future, I am always in Qingcheng between films, and I want to accompany Tianyu!" She said to me.

"I'm sorry, Miss Xiang, I'm afraid I'm not as idle as you, my work will be very busy!" I politely declined unceremoniously.

After that, I suddenly felt that I had gone too far, and if I wanted to get close to her, then I had to start from now on, why should I be so decisive.

But I really can't follow my thinking yet, and I can accept her right away, what is contrary to the yang and the yin.

I secretly said to my mother!

Jin Yang raised the corners of his mouth, "We Tina are not as clingy as you!" You don't want to take off your hat with a fart. ”

At this time, Xiao Tianyu came over and nodded slightly to me, "Welcome!" Tina！ Feel free to do so! Then he said to Jinyang, "Jinyang, I'll introduce a friend to you!" Tina misses for a moment. ”

I smiled and agreed.

Xiang Lingxue naturally said to Xiao Tianyu, "Come over quickly!" I'm here to accompany Tina. ”

"Is Miss Tina still used to it? Oh, I mean in Qingcheng. Xiang Lingxue looked at me and asked thoughtfully.

"Yes!" I looked at her with a faint smile, trying my best to accept my attitude, but I refused in my heart, and I tried my best to convince myself.

Only by overcoming the hurdles in my heart can I open up the deep secrets, which is the only reason I give myself.

Xiang Lingxue is very owner-like.

"I hope you have a happy life in Qingcheng, if you lack anything, you're welcome, just tell Tianyu that he is still very good to his subordinates." Xiang Lingxue was very enthusiastic, she was already the owner here, "Miss Tina can walk around casually, our house is very big." ”

"Oh! Miss Xiang, is this your home? I looked at her bluntly and pretended to be ignorant.

The corners of her mouth hooked, "Sort of!" ”

"Oh!" I pretended to understand something.

All right!

It's really not an ordinary shamelessness!

I saw Xiang Chinese in the crowd, he was still the same as before, and he was slightly rich, slightly shy of his Chinese belly.

At this time, the spring breeze was proudly chatting with a few people of the opposite age, sometimes laughing heartily, at this time Xiao Jianbang was walking over, and he exaggeratedly grabbed Xiao Jianbang!

Xiao Jianbang is still the same, merry, young and handsome, and it seems that he and Xiang Chinese are very speculative.

"What are you looking at again?" Xiang Lingxue suddenly followed my gaze, and then asked me.

"A few men talking!" I glanced at Xiang Lingxue lightly, "I don't even know each other!" ”

"You're talking about a few over there?" Xiang Lingxue pointed proudly!

"Yes!"

"Oh, that's my father and Tianyu's father, and a few suppliers of the Xiao family!" Xiang Lingxue smiled very sweetly and comfortably, "The people who came here today are all close friends of the Xiao family. ”

I nodded nonchalantly to Xiang Lingxue.

"Is Brother Jinyang your boyfriend?" She asked, looking at me.

I shrugged and didn't answer.

"Xiang Lingxue, why do you always like to label beautiful women as you? I'm afraid of robbing you of President Xiao. ”

I don't know when, Jinyang walked back again.

"Then you have to have that ability." Xiang Lingxue actually smiled and glanced at me and said.

"The point is that other girls don't have your thick skin, you stalk!" Jin Yang smiled brightly, as if he was joking with Xiang Lingxue.

I quietly watched today's guests, and for some reason, I always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at me from a corner.

I deliberately asked Jinyang, "Yang, where is the bathroom?" ”

"I'll take you there!" After he finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and led me to the bathroom on the first floor of Xiao's house.

We turned away without even a polite greeting to her.

Because I think it's been polite to her.

As I walked, I said, "Actually, I don't want to go to the bathroom, I don't want to communicate with her!" ”

Jinyang smiled, "Of course! Got it! ”

Along the way, Jinyang introduced me to a few more friends, most of whom were partners of the Xiao family.

Actually, I'm not very interested in them, everything here is not interesting to me.

If you want to say that you are interested, there is only one person who is Chinese.

When I looked back, Xiang Chinese no longer knew where to go.

"You go get busy, I can do it alone, in fact, this place is too familiar to me, and it hasn't changed at all!" I muttered to Jinyang.

Jinyang nodded, "Then be careful yourself!" Something called me. ”

"Good!"

I went to the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror, perfect as a carved handicraft, indeed, this is a handicraft created by Han Zhehe's hands, and it is no longer me Lin Xingchen at all.

I'm actually a little disgusted by this look.

It's too eye-catching, and everywhere I go, there are eyes following, which makes me uncomfortable with a happy and quiet person.

Walking out of the bathroom, I walked down the hallway, and I knew that there was a side door that led to the outside, and that if I kept going down, I could walk through the park through the back garden, and then up the stairs to the observation deck in the middle of the mountain.

I don't know how many times I've walked that road.

I hesitated, but I couldn't resist the temptation to move deeper into the hallway.

The corridor is very quiet, and the servants of the Xiao family are also very busy today, they are all busy serving the guests in the front hall, so it seems that there are very few people in the room today, and I walked slowly.
