171: Moonlight on the lotus pond

Looking at the caller ID on the screen, Shen Jialan glanced at Xi Yi with some hesitation, a little afraid that she would disturb him if she picked up the phone, but Tang Yuyan had already made many calls tonight, and she hadn't had time to reply just now, so after thinking about it, she bit her lip and picked it up.

"Jialan."

As soon as the phone was answered, Tang Yuyan's voice was slightly relieved.

Come to think of it, she hasn't answered the phone or text back, so he's a little worried.

This made Shen Jialan's heart unconsciously float a trace of guilt, and softly said "um", "I'm here." ”

Because Xi Yi was resting, Shen Jialan said very quietly.

But in this silent carriage, although the voice was lowered, Shen Jialan's voice was still somewhat clear.

At least, Xi Yi's eyelashes, who had been unresponsive with his eyes closed, trembled slightly.

It's just that Shen Jialan, who was concentrating on answering the phone, didn't notice it.

Therefore, when Xi Yi opened her eyes and saw it, what she saw was the scene of her putting one hand on the car window, looking at the scenery outside the window, and whispering back to the words of the person on the other end of the phone with a gentle face.

This made his eyes involuntarily fixed on her.

In fact, unlike Shen Jialan, who feels strange to him now, for Xi Yi, Shen Jialan has always stayed in his memory.

And now, the little girl in his memory has slowly grown up, with a gentleness that he has never seen that belongs to others.

Xi Yi couldn't say how she felt when she saw her like this, but she had a rare feeling of indescribable amazement.

However, for fear of disturbing Shen Jialan, who seemed to be afraid of waking him up, Xi Yi's gaze was only fixed for a moment, and he planned to take it back.

It's just that before he could take it back, he found that Shen Jialan's head was twisted back.

Shen Jialan lowered her voice as much as possible, but she was still afraid that she would disturb Xi Yi, so she turned her head to confirm, and just met Xi Yi's eyes, and couldn't help but be surprised and a little embarrassed.

Covering his mobile phone, Shen Jialan looked at him and asked with a little apology on her face, "Are you awake?" Am I bothering you? ”

Facing her gaze, Xi Yi indifferently withdrew his gaze, shook his head, and closed his eyes again.

Although Xi Yi didn't care, he disturbed other people's rest after all.

Shen Jialan was a little embarrassed, so she didn't continue to talk to Tang Yuyan, so she had to say to Tang Yuyan, who didn't have time to say a few words: "Ah Yan, I still have something to do here, and I can't continue to talk to you for the time being." I'll call you again when I get back later, okay? ”

Shen Jialan said, without waiting for Tang Yuyan to answer, she hung up the phone, looking at the knees in front of her, and she didn't dare to slow down.

Xi Yi was amused by Shen Jialan's reaction, and his eyes flowed with a faint smile, and he reached out and rubbed his temples, which had been a little swollen and sore because he had worked for too long, and asked lightly, "Call your boyfriend?" ”

Shen Jialan hesitated for a moment and nodded.

It seemed that he didn't expect Shen Jialan to nod and admit, Xi Yi couldn't help but turn his head in surprise, and asked casually, "What profession?" ”

Hearing this, Shen Jialan was a little entangled, and whispered: "Star." ”

"Stars?" Listening to Shen Jialan's answer, Xi Yi's eyebrows wrinkled slightly, with an obvious dislike for the profession of star.

Shen Jialan didn't know if it was because of Jiang Yilin and Jiang Qianlan, or because he didn't like people in the entertainment industry very much in his heart, so seeing him frowning slightly, it was not easy to answer, so he could only nod his head to show confirmation.

And Xi Yi's eyebrows were only wrinkled for a moment, and then they were directly released, as if they were hallucinating, as if a parent was giving a palm to the junior, and asked, "What's your name?" ”

Shen Jialan said with a little surprise: "You don't know? I thought ...... "they'd report it to you."

Hearing this, Xi Yi was silent for a while, and then said, "I don't know everything." ”

Shen Jialan was a little surprised, Xi Yi really didn't know.

After all, even if she bought a car before and was looked down upon, he could know immediately, how could she not know about the fact that she was with Tang Yuyan.

Shen Jialan thought that he should know everything about his own affairs.

So when Xi Yi asked the first question, he was so entangled and hesitant.

She thought that Xi Yi was knowingly asking and wanted to hear it from her mouth in person, so the reaction was so strange, but he really didn't know. I have to say that Shen Jialan was a little surprised.

Looking at Shen Jialan's undisguised look of surprise, Xi Yi turned his head to look at her helplessly, and said with some amusement: "I always have to give you a little space, right?" ”

Besides, he's not a god either.

Wouldn't it be terrible to know everything?

It's just a matter of picking and choosing what you want to know.

Hearing this, Shen Jialan smiled wryly and touched her nose.

In fact, one thing she has not shown is that she is quite disgusted with other people's surveillance.

Albeit in the name of caring for her.

But I always feel that my every move, all my actions are under the control of others, which is terrifying.

At this moment, hearing Xi Yi say that she should always be given a little space, Shen Jialan's mood was indeed inexplicably relieved, and a smile unconsciously bloomed on her face.

……

After driving for 20 minutes, the car stopped in front of the door of "Moonlight on the Lotus Pond".

The two of them had just gotten out of the car, and when they saw Xi Yi's figure in the moonlight of the lotus pond, a person who looked like the person in charge of the hotel was greeted with a smile on his face: "Mr. Xi, you are here." It's been a long time since I've seen you. ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hands to make a welcoming gesture, and asked skillfully, "Old rule, do you want to open that box reserved for you?" ”

Hearing this, Xi Yi, who got out of the car first, nodded lightly.

Shen Jialan got out of the car closely behind Xi Yi, and when she saw the signboard of the hotel hanging above her head, she felt a little complicated.

This winding path, far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, with good service, and a restaurant that needs to be booked in advance if you want to eat is Ning Ke's previous family property.

Seeing this hotel, Shen Jialan couldn't help but think of Ning Ke, who was far away in country H at the moment, and her mood was a little stunned for a while.

After seeing Shen Jialan get out of the car, he looked a little depressed, and Xi Yi, who was originally greeted by someone who was about to enter the door, couldn't help but stop, lowered his head and asked, "What, don't you like this hotel?" ”

Hearing this, Shen Jialan shook her head.

In fact, it's not that I don't like it, but after learning about Ning Ke's past, it will inevitably be a little complicated when I come over again.

Seeing Shen Jialan shaking his head, Xi Yi's thin lips twisted slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said patiently in a faint voice: "If you don't like it, we can change it." ”

As he spoke, he turned to leave.

As soon as he turned around like this, the person in charge of the Lotus Pond Moonlight also stopped, and looked at Shen Jialan.

They are all in business, which is not a human spirit.

Today, Xi Yi brought a woman over for dinner, which almost scared his eyes, and at this moment, seeing Xi Yi asking the other party's opinion in a good voice, he obviously attached great importance to the woman's thoughts.

So he stood there without opening his mouth, and waited quietly with a smile on his face.

Shen Jialan was just in a complicated mood, but at this moment, she was stared at by the person in charge and Xi Yi like this, waiting for her answer, and suddenly shook her head in embarrassment and said, "It's okay." That's it. ”

glanced at Shen Jialan carefully, and made sure that she really didn't force herself, so Xi Yi nodded indispensably.

He nodded like this, and the person in charge who had been smiling all the time was like an NPC, and spontaneously led the way again.

also followed into the door, and Shen Jialan knew why this hotel was called Lotus Pond Moonlight.

The person in charge led them through the gate, through the lobby, through a small door, and then into a huge beautifully built garden with a large lotus pond with a rockery. At this time, it is November, even if it is winter, the temperature is not high, but I don't know what method the hotel used, in this cold day, the pond is also full of lotus flowers, and the water surface is reflected with the moon shadow, is it not the "moonlight on the lotus pond"?

It's not that Shen Jialan hasn't seen a garden, nor has she never admired the lotus pond, but when she looked at the artificially created scenery in front of her, she couldn't help but stop for a while with interest.

And, when Xi Yi was waiting, the person in charge was not in a hurry, and occasionally talked to Xi Yi, enthusiastic but not humble, waiting for Shen Jialan to finish appreciating it, and then slowly walked over with their Xi Yi's perennial box.

Although the person in charge basically talks to Xi Yi, he will not snub Shen Jialan, and from time to time he will turn back to Shen Jialan and mention the characteristics of this place, plus the environment here is elegant and quiet, and he almost didn't meet anyone else, which made Shen Jialan's original resistance to this hotel a lot less.

However, unfortunately, just when Shen Jialan thought that there were not many people here and it was clean, a group of people came to meet him.

The faces are somewhat familiar.

Most of them are more common faces in the entertainment industry, or familiar to the audience.

This made Shen Jialan unconsciously turn her head and look at it twice.

Seeing Shen Jialan's curiosity, the person in charge naturally explained: "The environment here is relatively quiet and there is an independent space, so there are often celebrities who patronize it." What you've just seen is their party. ”

As his words fell, Xi Yi's exclusive box also arrived.

Xi Yi and Shen Jialan were welcomed in, and the person in charge exited the box, and the waitress who was wearing cheongsam on both sides of the box suddenly walked in with the menu.

Shen Jialan, who was ordering, didn't know that when she turned her head to look at the wave of people, a person who fell behind because she drank too much wine tonight and went to the toilet to vomit for a round was also looking at her and Xi Yi intently.
