Chapter 34: Don't talk about money
The moment he met Lin Man's eyes, Huo Yunzheng suddenly felt a little stunned, looking at the face that once haunted him, as if he had returned to the past.
At that time, she was still standing beside him, her slender fingers holding the crook of his arm, as if she wanted to hang the whole person on him, smiling and talking unscrupulously.
Perhaps Huo Yunzheng's gaze was too hot, Lin Man suddenly looked away, and a heart that was suddenly awakened beat violently, tearing his entire chest with a faint pain.
Lin Man took a deep breath, lowered his eyes and looked at the dead branches under his feet, his toes twisting slightly, trying to calm his panicked heartbeat.
At that moment, the silence came suddenly, and the air froze. Time stopped, emotions spiraled out of control, as if something was about to move out of the chest.
"Mr. Huo?" The manager standing next to him obviously felt the embarrassment of the atmosphere, pursed his lips a little helplessly, and finally interrupted the long silence with a remark.
This claim pulled Huo Yunzheng back from his distant memory, and glanced at the manager meaninglessly, with a bit of indescribable emotion in his eyes, and the manager who saw it panicked.
Huo Yunzheng's eyes looked fixedly ahead, and he couldn't see any emotion in his deep eyes, "It's okay." ”
A simple three words can be regarded as the highest evaluation of this resort.
Lin Man turned around and turned his back to Huo Yunzheng, his thin back was still as slender as before, but he unconsciously had a little more perseverance that he had never seen before.
Removing his indifferent eyes, Huo Yunzheng took two steps forward and stood side by side with Lin Man, "Is there anything else you haven't seen?" ”
Huo Yunzheng's voice was low, obviously far away, but it seemed to explode in his ears. Lin Mang seemed to be able to feel the warm breath, constantly sweeping towards her neck, disturbing her heart that had finally calmed down.
Without a trace, he took two steps back to the side, and Lin Man widened the distance between the two as much as possible, "There shouldn't be much room left, right?" ”
Lin Man avoided Huo Yunzheng's eyes, looked back at the manager, and seemed to have nothing to say.
Standing behind the two people, the manager's forehead was already stained with a little sweat, his hands were clenched tightly, and he even breathed carefully, for fear that if he said something wrong, he would provoke which god.
The manager has also heard of the news circulating on the Internet, originally he thought that the two people were just lovers, but today I realized that I was outrageously wrong.
The manager who has been receiving customers all the year round and has long been trained to know at a glance that the relationship between the two people is extraordinary, and it doesn't seem to be as simple as those gossip magazines say.
It's just that he didn't dare to delve into it, and he didn't dare to say more, so he could only follow cautiously.
Nothing happened along the way, but at this time, the atmosphere between the two people changed abruptly, which made him unconsciously start to get nervous.
Wiping the sweat stains in his palms, the manager quickly went through the itinerary map in his mind before he spoke, "There is only one last place left, and I will lead you there." ”
As he spoke, the manager hurried forward, and now he just wanted to get out of this place where there was hidden right and wrong.
Compared with the manager's hurry, Lin Man and Huo Yunzheng were very leisurely, walking slowly one after the other, carefully enjoying the scenery on both sides of the road.
The two of them hadn't been walking for long, and they saw the manager turn his head and come back from the front in a hurry, the beads of sweat on his forehead fell down in large pieces, and when he walked in front of the two, he was still out of breath.
Lin Man frowned slightly, obviously very displeased with his image, "What's wrong?" ”
The manager raised the back of his hand and touched the sweat dripping down the corner of his eyes, and looked at Lin Man with an apologetic expression, "Mr. Huo, Mr. Lin, I'm really sorry, there are suddenly some things in the resort that I need to deal with......"
The manager didn't finish his words, but both of them understood what he meant. Glancing at each other, Lin Man just wanted to say that he was here today, but he was preempted by Huo Yunzheng.
"Then you can go first, and Mr. Lin and I will take a look at the rest."
Huo Yunzheng's hands were leisurely inserted in his trouser pockets, and the tie around his neck was loosely tied, which was not at all like his usual cold and arrogant image, but a little more evil.
As soon as he heard this, the manager nodded again and again, for fear that Huo Yunzheng would regret it, and turned around and walked down the mountain.
Clear eyes kept staring at the back that kept moving away, Lin Man wanted to stop the manager, but he was unconsciously looking forward to the solitude between the two people.
The two contradictory psychology are constantly fighting each other, and it is impossible to tell who won, anyway, the manager has already slipped away.
"Let's go." Huo Yunzheng's face did not have any expression, his narrow eyes swept over Lin Man, without any pause, and walked straight forward.
A smile tugged at Lin Man's lips, with a hint of mockery, mockery of herself.
Wasn't that what she had predicted, what was she expecting, and what was there to be disappointed about......
Taking a deep breath, Lin Man quickly followed, walking behind Huo Yunzheng, his steps intentionally or unintentionally covered with the wide mark.
"Do you have any thoughts on the resort project?" I don't know how long I walked, Huo Yunzheng suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lin Man.
This sudden question made Lin Man slightly stunned, and a pair of sparkling eyes flashed a trace of dazedness, but quickly recovered.
Dodging Huo Yunzheng's deep gaze, Lin Man turned sideways and turned his side face towards him, "Naturally, I am optimistic, I believe that Mr. Huo also thinks so, otherwise he will not invest." ”
The place where the two of them stood at this time was the highest point of the hill.
Looking down from here, the scenery of the entire resort can be taken into view, every grass and tree, every brick and tile here, is the effort of the two of them, but also the efforts of the two groups.
The sunset, which was still exuding afterglow, hung obliquely on the mountain, reflecting on Lin Man's fair cheeks, and it also brought a bit of redness.
Lin Man's tone was relaxed, but the bitterness and sarcasm hidden in those eyes did not escape Huo Yunzheng's eyes, and there was so much stubbornness that made him feel a little distressed.
"What about money?" Without any thought, this sentence blurted out, this has never been Huo Yunzheng's style, but it is indeed his habit.
As soon as the words fell, Huo Yunzheng hooked his lips and smiled self-deprecatingly, whenever he encountered something related to Lin Man, how could he ever be rational......
After so many years, what he thought he had let go of was still hidden deep in his heart, deep into his bone marrow, invading his blood, never remembered, but never forgotten.
Hearing such a question, Lin Man was also a little surprised, and turned his head to look at Huo Yunzheng, but he happened to avoid his gaze, but she could see it clearly, and there was a fleeting trace of embarrassment in those deep eyes.
Lin Man's lightly painted eyebrows were slightly raised, and there was a slight doubt in her autumn-like eyes, she couldn't understand his emotions, and she never understood them.
Turning around and continuing to look at the ground under her feet, this seemed to be a difficult question for her to answer, she lowered her head and thought for a long time before she slowly spoke, "I'm a businessman, how can I not talk about money." ”
As he spoke, Lin Man smiled, but the smile only stayed at the corners of his stiff lips, never reaching the bottom of his eyes.
Invisibly, both of them are dyed with a bit of worldliness and vicissitudes, and the carefree past seems to be a matter of the previous life.
Looking at Huo Yunzheng and himself in front of him, Lin Man had to sigh at the cruelty of reality, it abandoned all the things they once regarded as treasures, and gradually turned them into the kind of people they once hated the most.
"Is it ......" Huo Yunzheng's voice was very soft, and he turned his head to look at Lin Man's good-looking face, as if he was asking her, and as if he was asking himself.
Lin Man didn't know whether he hadn't heard or didn't want to answer, the corners of his lips rose slightly, put on a detached and polite smile, and then turned around and continued to walk up.
The topic seemed to be over at this point, and the two of them walked one after the other, silent as a shadow.
Obviously, there is only a few meters between the two people, and as long as they stretch out their hands, they can touch the person who is thinking about it, but no one reaches out first.
It's like they're playing a meaningless game, and whoever moves first loses.
As the sun set down, the clouds gradually pressed up from the western horizon, black and black, mixed with thin raindrops and deafening thunder.
"It's raining?" Lin Man stopped and looked up at the sky, but just a drop of rain fell on her fine eyelashes, crystal clear, like those bright eyes.
Huo Yunzheng's deep eyes stared at Lin Man tightly, and after a while, his slender fingers caressed the white cheeks as if they were uncontrollable, and his rough fingertips gently rubbed the cold eyes, holding the raindrops in the palm of his hand.
Lin Man was a little stunned by this sudden movement, and his fist-sized heart was beating wildly in his chest, disrupting the rhythm of his breathing.
Hurriedly took a step back, avoiding the warm palm, Lin Man pursed his lips tightly, "Let's go back first." ”
As he spoke, Lin Man walked in the opposite direction, but he didn't expect to be grabbed by the wrist when he passed by Huo Yunzheng.
At that moment, Lin Man only felt that her breathing had stopped, everything in the world seemed to be quiet, and in her mind, there was only the sound of a thumping heartbeat.
"Keep going."
Huo Yunzheng didn't seem to feel that what he was doing was wrong, it was as natural as holding a pen in his hand, completely wrapping his tender little hand in his palm, without the slightest intention of letting go.
Lin Man looked at the hands of the two of them holding at her side and was stunned, and some emotions suddenly surged in her heart that she couldn't explain.
Maybe it's excitement, he still has feelings for himself, or maybe it's bitterness, it all came too late......
A wave of heat surged into his eyes, the corners of Lin Man's eyes quietly turned red, the warm liquid wrapped the astringent eyeballs, and only by trying to widen could he not let the tears slide down his cheeks.
