Chapter 18: Stimulation
The early hours of Christmas. Mercedes-Benz slowly stopped at the door of Dongtai's apartment.
On the co-pilot, Jiang Luosheng unbuckled his seat belt, "Thank you, Director Wan, for sending me back." β
Wan Qi nodded.
But Jiang Luosheng didn't get out of the car directly. She leaned over to the main driver and dropped a kiss on Wan Qi's cheek.
"Thank you so much." She was as well-behaved as a cat, breathing with a faint smell of wine, "Give me such a good opportunity again." β
Wan Qi looked at her, "You'd better leave quickly." Before I change my mind. β
Jiang Luosheng understood what he meant. She smiled mischievously, opened the car door and left, "Good night." See you tomorrow. β
"Hmm."
Jiang Luosheng walked to Dongtai's apartment, and only after hearing Mercedes-Benz leaving behind him did he put away the smile on his face.
left a good impression on Lin Yubai, and also pretended to be naΓ―ve to please Wan Qi.
She was tired, still had a headache, and just wanted to go to bed quickly.
On the thirtieth floor, Jiang Luosheng returned to the door of his house and unscrewed the door with a key.
The lights in the living room were on, and there was the sound of rushing water in the bathroom.
It seems that Xiao Qi is taking a bath.
Jiang Luosheng walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. The can of fruit wine that had been brewed for Christmas Eve not long ago suddenly crashed into her sight.
She looked away, grabbed a bottle of orange juice, and closed the refrigerator door.
She twisted it so hard that the cap didn't move.
Screw it again, but it still doesn't move.
Just as she was about to try it for the third time, the iced orange juice was suddenly snatched away by someone.
"Jiang Luosheng," Xiao Qi's voice could hear the suppressed anger, "You'd better give me a reasonable explanation." β
Jiang Luosheng had a headache and didn't want to bother arguing with him. She turned around and apologized coquettishly: "I'm sorry, I didn't expect something to happen temporarily." I'll compensate you next time, okay? β
But today, Xiao Qi just doesn't eat this set.
With a "bang", the iced orange juice was slammed onto the table by him.
He leaned against the wall with his arms in his hands, blocking Jiang Luosheng's way, and looked at her deeply, "I'll wait for you to explain." β
Jiang Luosheng now just wants to go back to his room and sleep quickly. She was patient, true and false, and lowered her posture to flatter, "I'm sorry, the person in charge of the Olinna brand only has time to see me today." I wanted to go back to you after seeing him, but it was delayed so late. β
"How?" Xiao Qi raised his eyebrows slightly, and his tone was sarcastic, "I didn't expect him to last so long?" β
Jiang Luosheng was stunned.
Every nerve in his head screamed in pain, and his temples throbbed.
Jiang Luosheng didn't have much patience today, and he didn't want to waste another minute or second here.
"Xiao Qi," her tone and gaze cooled, "keep your mouth clean." β
Xiao Qi's tone was as cold as hers, "Clean?" Help you set up the archway? β
One by one, the harsh words smashed Jiang Luosheng's eardrum.
She smiled coldly, "You can't control my private life." β
Xiao Qi's eyes sank, and he glanced at the silver dress on her body, and wanted to understand with her, "Did he say that your new dress looks good?" Does he know that another man bought it for you? β
"Enough. Director Xiao, you should learn how to respect others. β
"Respect?" Xiao Qi walked over slowly, smiling, "Jiang Luosheng, you really taught me a lot today." β
"Director Xiao, listening to your resentful tone, you won't be jealous, right?" Jiang Luosheng raised his eyes and choked back word by word, "Are you qualified?" β
Xiao Qi stopped instantly, his gaze dangerously cold.
"We're not really boyfriend and girlfriend, don't cross the line." Jiang Luosheng raised his head and looked directly at him, his tone seemed to be a reminder, as if a warning, "You remember, I sleep with 10,000 men, and it has nothing to do with you." β
She didn't know which word stimulated Xiao Qi, but in the next second, Xiao Qi frowned fiercely, grabbed her arm, slammed her against the wall, and then turned his hand to pinch her chin, staring at her with deep eyes.
"Jiang Luosheng, are you kidding me?"
"Don't be vexatious," Jiang Luosheng struggled, "let go of me." β
Xiao Qi pressed her tighter, and the hand holding her chin was even harder, causing her to gasp in pain.
"I don't care who you sleep with. But now the whole Pangu knows that the technical director was released by his girlfriend. Xiao Qi said coldly, "Are you deliberately tearing my face?" β
Jiang Luosheng felt incredible, "I didn't mean it, you know it." β
Xiao Qi lowered his head slightly and stared at her, "Are you taking revenge on me?" β
Jiang Luosheng was stunned for a moment, then closed his eyes and laughed, his shoulders shaking.
Xiao Qi squinted at her.
Jiang Luosheng laughed for a full minute before he opened his eyes, and there was a hint of fierceness in his crooked smiling eyes, "Then you should tell me, what did you do wrong to provoke me to take revenge on you?" β
The aura around Xiao Qi's body instantly became dangerous, "Jiang Luosheng, you remember for me, I don't owe you." β
"Of course you don't owe me!" Jiang Luosheng was still smiling, but his voice had already been raised, "You, Director Xiao, never owe anyone!" β
Not again.
They quarrel, and in the end the topic is always struggling to deviate. The words she threw out to stab Xiao Qi would be like a boomerang, all of them would turn back and stab her.
But Jiang Luosheng has a splitting headache today, but he doesn't have the ability to defend against these stimuli.
The person in front of him carried the fragrance that he had just bathed. However, she is a rouge and vulgar powder mixed with the smell of alcohol.
That's how they compare.
But who is to blame for the way it is now?
None of them could find anyone to blame, so they could only make trouble without reason.
"Get your mindset right." In Xiao Qi's voice, the flames of anger and the cold ice of indifference were rolling alternately.
"That's what I should say!" Jiang Luosheng roared, and her eardrum danced with her temples, swelling her in pain, "Originally, our well water didn't interfere with the river water, but you had to pull me into your circle and meet your friends!" I released the pigeon, you deserve it! β
It was her mistake. She shouldn't have softened her heart because of the nervousness in the man's eyes. Now, they are all within each other's range of attack, and there is nowhere to run.
"Don't get an inch!" Xiao Qi also raised his voice, and the anger in his eyes was already burning.
"The same goes for you!" Jiang Luosheng began to struggle desperately, "Let go of me!" I have a headache to sleep! β
Xiao Qi wanted to hold her tighter, but because of her "headache", he suppressed all his anger and let her go suddenly.
Jiang Luosheng flashed away, walked into the bathroom, and slammed the door.
She stood under the shower, hot water pouring down and steam slowly rising around her.
She leaned against the wall and closed her eyes. The mood gradually calmed down, but the head still hurt.
By the time she finished taking a shower and drying her hair and walked out of the bathroom, the door to Xiao Qi's room was closed.
From this day on, they will inevitably return to their former state, living their own lives without interfering with each other.
Jiang Luosheng walked back to his room and closed the door.
There is a bowl of water on the bedside table.
She was slightly stunned, walked over, and reached out to the bowl to probe the temperature.
It's not cold or hot, just enough to drink.
She picked up the bowl and took a sip. It's honey water.
She was silent for two seconds, then picked up the bowl and tilted her head.
A bowl full of warm honey water rolled down the tip of her tongue, down her throat, and into her stomach.
Finally, roll into the lacrimal ducts.
Sentimentality may be due to late nights, or perhaps because of drinking. Jiang Luosheng put down the bowl, buried his face deep in his hands, and the whole person slid down the wall to the ground, crying silently and weakly.
She still remembers that back then, the little boy asked the little girl seriously: "Can I kiss you?" β
The little girl thought for a long time and stretched out her hand, "You can only kiss my hand now." β
The impression after that is always vague and distorted, but this most innocent and pure time will always be engraved in her memory.
At eight o'clock the next morning, the alarm clock rang on time.
Jiang Luosheng sighed painfully, opened his eyes, turned over and got out of bed. She felt very tired, but fortunately her head didn't hurt anymore.
Today's itinerary is full. Work is like that, when you are most tired, you are always the busiest.
The door to the opposite bedroom is open. Xiao Qi is gone.
Jiang Luosheng took a short time to freshen up and dress up, and when he was about to open the refrigerator, he saw a bottle of orange juice with the lid unscrewed and a bowl of honey water on the dining table.
It's all lukewarm.
She felt a slight pain in her heart.
But during the day, there is no room for hypocrisy. She quickly adjusted her mood, raised her head and drank the honey water, took the orange juice and went out.
At 8:45, Jiang Luosheng put his hands in the pockets of his down jacket and waited for the elevator on the first floor of the dance troupe.
"Luo Sheng." Wan Qi stood beside her.
"Director Wan," Jiang Luosheng turned his head and smiled, "Morning." β
Wan Qi looked down at her, "Come to my office." β
Jiang Luosheng felt apprehensive in his heart. Is there any news from Olinna?
She followed Wan Qi upstairs, past the dance studio, through the hallway, to the artistic director's office at the end.
When Wan Qi pushed the door in, she prayed in her heart that it must be good news.
