Chapter 22: Warm Brown

The day after Christmas. One o'clock in the afternoon. Hammon Grand Theatre.

Before the show began, the dancers were changing clothes in the dressing room. Solo-dancing Yuan Nuo hurried back to the dressing room to get the headdress.

She took the headband and hairpin from the cabinet, closed the cabinet door and was about to turn to leave, when she suddenly saw Jiang Luosheng's dancing shoes on the dressing table.

It was a pair of pointe shoes that had obviously been in touch with the owner for a while, specially prepared for the show.

Yuan Nuo looked around. The powder room is now empty.

She reopened the cabinet door, took the scissors from her bag, walked to Jiang Luosheng's dressing table, and grabbed the long laces of her dancing shoes between her two fingers.

She was about to cut it with a pair of scissors.

"Yuannuo." An ethereal voice rang out at the dressing room door.

With such a unique voice, it is Jiang Luosheng, and it will not be wrong.

Yuan Nuo was startled, and the hand holding the scissors immediately turned his back behind him, and turned his head to look at Jiang Luosheng.

Jiang Luosheng walked in with a friendly smile on his face, "Why are you here?" Don't go to the locker room to change clothes? ”

Yuan Nuo also pulled out a smile, "I'll come over and get the head rope." ”

"I'll get the dancing shoes." Jiang Luosheng walked to his dressing table, stood beside Yuan Nuo, picked up his dancing shoes, and glanced at her meaningfully, "I fell here." ”

Yuan Nuo smiled indifferently, hid the scissors in his sleeve, passed by Jiang Luosheng, and walked to his cabinet.

"Yuan Nuo," Jiang Luosheng said, "The dance girl variation you danced yesterday is very exciting." ”

"Not as good as you." Yuan Nuo put the scissors in his bag, "You're skipping the dancing heroine." ”

"Just by chance."

Yuan Nuo smiled softly, "Don't be so modest. You are very strong, and how many juniors in the regiment take you as an example. ”

"But I follow your example." Jiang Luosheng said sincerely, "It has been like this since the first day I joined the group. ”

Yuan Nuo turned his head and raised an eyebrow at her, "What do I have to be your role model?" ”

"Don't you know how good you are?" Jiang Luosheng smiled crookedly, "You are young, you have strength, ambition, and character. I've always admired you and tried to be a dancer like you. ”

Yuan Nuo closed the cabinet door, "Okay, okay." Let's go. ”

With that, she turned and walked out of the dressing room.

"Okay." Jiang Luosheng responded, keeping up with her footsteps, constantly chanting "smile, take a deep breath, and put down the butcher knife" in her heart.

If she can make fewer enemies, if she can do more than less, she doesn't mind pleasing her.

At six o'clock in the evening, after the performance, Jiang Luosheng glanced at the temperature on the mobile phone screen, and then wrapped the scarf seriously.

Yet another temperature where commuting requires courage.

However, the courage that she had built up was shattered in an instant the moment she pushed open the backstage door.

It's snowing outside again.

Jiang Luosheng instantly retracted his left foot that was about to step out, and the whole person retracted back into the Grand Theater.

Winter is such a nasty season.

She called Xiao Qi, "Are you busy now?" ”

In the small conference room, Xiao Qi put his mobile phone to his ear, "You say." ”

Shen Lingshu sat opposite Xiao Qi and looked at him.

"It's snowing again." Jiang Luosheng was a little nervous.

Xiao turned his head and opened the blinds behind him with his index and middle fingers. From the window on the twentieth floor of Pangu Technology, he saw the snowflakes flying outside.

"Wait for me for twenty minutes." He hung up the phone, turned around and asked Shen Lingshu, "Is there anything else?" ”

"No more. The rest will be processed in the next quarter. ”

Xiao nodded and was about to get up, "I'll go first." ”

Shen Lingshu hurriedly spoke: "Director Xiao, wait a minute......"

Xiao Qi stopped and looked at her.

When she reacted, Shen Lingshu was surprised by her abruptness.

What was she trying to say? Let Xiao Qi not pick up his girlfriend? Should such a love be abandoned?

That's true. She wanted Xiao Qi to know that there were obviously better options around her.

She pulled a bag of chocolates out of her bag and handed it over.

Xiao Qi looked at her and didn't answer.

"I made it myself, and I gave it to everyone in the group at the dinner yesterday." Shen Lingshu explained, "You didn't come yesterday, so I had to give it to you today." ”

Xiao turned his gaze to chocolate. He reached out and took it, "Thank you." ”

"This one of yours, I specially opened a small stove, and it was made pure black." Shen Lingshu smiled.

Xiao Qi looked at her, "I have a heart." ”

Xiao Qi's reaction encouraged Shen Lingshu.

She cleared her throat and called out the name of the person opposite, not her title: "Xiao Qi, we have known each other for so many years, there is something I want to persuade you." Not as a subordinate, but as an old classmate. ”

Xiao Qi stood up and walked to the door, "There's no need. ”

"Love shouldn't be like this." Shen Lingshu also stood up and faced his back, "I know you have been together for many years, but let it go." You deserve better. ”

Xiao Qi didn't respond to her, and opened the door of the conference room.

Just when Shen Lingshu thought that he was going to walk out like this, he paused and covered the door again.

Xiao Qi turned his head to look at Shen Lingshu.

Shen Lingshu heard her own heartbeat.

Xiao opened his mouth, and his deep magnetic voice was firm, overshadowing the other party's heartbeat, "You don't know anything about what is going on between us. ”

In a word, all the things that Shen Lingshu had to say behind him were blocked.

"Don't do that again." Xiao Qi left the last sentence, then opened the door and walked out of the conference room.

Shen Lingshu didn't know if he was referring to chocolate, or if he was trying to persuade him like he had just done.

Jiang Luosheng leaned against the wall at the backstage door of the theater, looked up at the ceiling, and turned the hair spikes on the edge of the scarf with his fingers boredly.

"Senior sister," Cui Lin came down from upstairs, "you haven't left yet?" ”

Jiang Luosheng showed him a gentle smile, "No." It's snowing outside. ”

Cui Lin blinked, "I'll send you home?" ”

"No need. My boyfriend came to pick me up right away. Jiang Luosheng smiled at him, "Thank you." ”

Cui Lin nodded and didn't say much, "Then I'll see you tomorrow." ”

"Oh yes," Jiang Luosheng called out to him, "I didn't cause you trouble when I borrowed your car that day, right?" ”

Cui Lin was a little puzzled, "No, what's wrong?" ”

Jiang Luosheng smiled and shook his head, "I'm afraid of bothering you." ”

It seems that the police have not looked for Cui Lin. Although she also used the excuse of a ride when she borrowed Cui Lin's car, she didn't want to make her colleagues suspicious.

"Senior sister is too polite, she troubled me once two months ago, and I have been remembering it until now." Cui Lin smiled gently, "Why don't you invite me to dinner?" Only when you return the favor can you be comfortable. ”

Jiang Luosheng admired in his heart, this young man, yes.

"Another day, definitely." She's sloppy.

This is one of Xiao Qi's biggest uses, to help her block the peach blossoms and keep her from being entangled by annoying men.

The phone shook, and it was Xiao Qi's message: At the door.

"See you tomorrow." Jiang Luosheng said goodbye to Cui Lin, opened the backstage door, shrunk his neck, walked through the flying snowflakes, and ran to the Land Rover.

Through the ink-colored window of the Land Rover, Xiao Qi saw Jiang Luosheng running all the way, and the young man who was looking at her back not far away.

Warm brown eyes and hair ends. It was sunshine that even a snowy day could not bury.

Completely different from him.

Jiang Luosheng opened the car door and sat in the co-pilot. "God, it's snowing a lot this year."

"Hmm." Xiao Qi looked away from the beam of sunlight and started the car.

Jiang Luosheng took off his scarf and his eyes fell on a bag of chocolates in the center console.

"Chocolate." She reached out and took it, "Shall I eat?" ”

"Hmm."

Jiang Luosheng unpacked it with anticipation, picked up a piece and bit it halfway, and then wrinkled his nose honestly.

"It's pure black again, and it's unpalatable. You love to eat. She complained as she fed the remaining half of her hand to Xiao Qi.

Xiao Qi still looked ahead, tilting his head and biting the other half of the chocolate from her hand.

Jiang Luosheng put the chocolate back, raised his eyes to look at the road ahead, and realized that this was the opposite direction to go home.

"Where are we going?" She was puzzled.

"Accompany me to school to hand in my papers."

"Oh?" Jiang Luosheng coaxed, "Binmen University computer science student, this is going to submit a doctoral dissertation in advance?" ”

Xiao Qi glanced at her helplessly, "Course final paper." ”

Jiang Luosheng was curious, turned around and took out the paper he had just printed out from the bag in the back seat.

"I'll take a look and give you a review and guidance." Jiang Luosheng said it carefully.

"Listen up."

Jiang Luosheng read carefully, and the more he read, the more he felt that something was wrong, "You are a doctor of computer science, how can you take a chemistry laboratory class?" ”

"Electives," Xiao Qi replied lightly, "I didn't grab anything else." ”

Jiang Luosheng looked at him sympathetically, "Interlacing is like a mountain, isn't it difficult for you to break this class?" ”

"It's not hard for me."

Jiang Luosheng sneered, "Okay, good, you have the capital to be arrogant." ”

She looked at it twice more and put it back.

What poison antidote, reagent powder.

I can't read it, I'm too tired.
