Chapter 18 The Stars Are Bright
The routes of the three were different, Ai Wei and Li Wan walked from the two subway entrances respectively, and Wen Ran walked to the side of the street, preparing to take a taxi home.
finally came to a taxi and stopped in front of Wen Ran, but was preempted by a young couple who suddenly appeared.
Wen Ran took out his mobile phone and planned to use the mobile phone software to call a taxi.
Because it was a weekend and rush hour, the mobile phone page showed that there were still 67 people in the queue ahead, and it was estimated that it would take 15 to 20 minutes.
Wen Ran sat on a row of chairs on the side of the road and waited, and by the way, he picked up a few photos taken at the Star Art Museum today and sent them to the circle of friends.
As soon as she posted it, Zhai Xinyi liked it, and the message box popped up.
Zhai Xinyi: [Where have you been? 】
Wen Ran typed: [Internet Celebrity Museum. 】
Wen Ran calculated the time difference, Zhai Xinyi's side should be more than four o'clock in the morning.
Wen Ran: [You don't sleep at this time, what are you doing? 】
Zhai Xinyi: [Turning around, go back to country M.] 】
Wen Ran then remembered that Zhai Xinyi seemed to mention where she was on a business trip last week, and she couldn't remember which country it was.
Wen Ran: [How is the teacher? 】
Zhai Xinyi: [I don't know, you're not at home, and I haven't been there. 】
Wen Ran: [I want to find a weekend and go back to see the teacher.] 】
Zhai Xinyi: [Two days? It's too rushed, what are you doing here? 】
Wen Ran's slender fingers held the phone, and her head was full of clips of the ups and downs of the week.
Wen Ran: [I just miss him.] 】
This time, Zhai Xinyi did not reply immediately.
Wen Ran added again: [I miss you too. 】
After a while, Zhai Xinyi sent a message.
Hit the nail on the head: [You won't be bullied, will you? 】
Wen Ran smiled bitterly, she felt that she couldn't say that she was being bullied, but she was unhappy.
Wen Ran typed quickly: [No, it's simple, I miss you.] 】
Afraid that Zhai Xinyi would ask, Wen Ran diverted the topic: [Do you know who I was having dinner with just now? 】
Zhai Xinyi: [Who? 】
Wen Ran: [Yan Wangshu. 】
Zhai Xinyi was an anxious person, and directly sent a voice message, and his tone was excited: "You guys are dating?" ”
Appointment?
Wen Ran almost rolled her eyes, she pressed the talking button: "It's just a bump, it's a chance encounter, but it's ......"
Wen Ran remembered that at the dinner table just now, Yan Wangshu stared at her eyes, and she typed: [Xinyi, I met him with my two colleagues today, and then he invited us to dinner, and his niece together, isn't it a little strange? 】
Thinking of this, Wen Ran felt a chill down his spine in the sweltering summer: [Does he suspect me of something? 】
Zhai Xinyi smashed over with a series of information.
Zhai Xinyi: [Don't be suspicious yourself. 】
Zhai Xinyi: [Acting naturally and calmly, who cares about you as a little designer? ] 】
Zhai Xinyi: [Besides, isn't it normal to have a meal by chance? 】
Zhai Xinyi: [If my brother meets a subordinate, he will also help settle the bill like this. 】
Zhai Xinyi is right.
Zhai Xinyi: [By the way, has my brother contacted you? 】
Wen Ran: [I called last week. 】
Zhai Xinyi: [I'm asking if he hasn't returned to China in the past two days? 】
Return?
Senior brother has returned to China???
Wen Ran didn't know about Zhai Chengjing's return to China at all.
Wen Ran: [Senior brother didn't contact me, I don't know. 】
Zhai Xinyi: [It should be that he is very busy, so he didn't tell you. 】
Wen Ran: [What did you gain from this business trip?] 】
Zhai Xinyi sent several long voice complaints: "Harvest? What do birds gain where they don't poop? It's almost sunburned......"
Wen Ran laughed as she listened.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the heat gradually faded, and there were more people outside the mall than during the day.
The sky is like a pitch-black canvas, painted with a few dots of starlight and a crescent moon, unclear and hazy.
There is a street lamp next to the black wrought iron row chair, which is yellowish.
Wen Ran sat there, her water-green skirt covering her toes.
She leans weakly on the right, her right elbow rests on the wrought iron armrest, her shoulder bones are small and well-proportioned, and her collarbones are deeply sunken and beautiful.
The picture is gentle like a painting.
She seemed to be chatting with someone, happy, and her eyes smiled like crescents.
Yan Wangshu's car was parked on the side of the road, his brows were locked, and he had just lit a second cigarette.
Yan Wangshu raised his head, his bulging Adam's apple trembled slightly, and then slowly exhaled a puff of smoke.
When he looked over again, there was a boy sitting next to Wen Ran, who looked white and sunny, looked like he was in his twenties, and he was a little student.
The boy held the mobile phone and looked at Wen Ran with a shy gaze, blushing, still not having the courage to talk.
The green picture, the two look quite compatible.
Yan Wangshu extinguished the cigarette butt and stepped on the accelerator.
The window was lowered halfway, revealing only a pair of deep eyebrows: "Wen Ran." ”
Wen Ran raised his head and unconsciously clenched the mobile phone in his hand.
She stood up calmly, walked over, and bent down slightly: "Mr. Yan." ”
Yan Wangshu's gaze skimmed over her chest: "Get in the car, I'll send you." ”
Wen Ran was stunned for a moment, revealing a smile as kind as possible: "Thank you, Mr. Yan, don't bother." ”
The corners of Yan Wangshu's mouth twitched: "Isn't it by the way?" ”
Shun... Way?
Oh, by the way.
Without waiting for Wen Ran to speak again, the window went up, leaving only two words: "Get in the car." ”
Wen Ran: "......"
Yan Wangshu's car has a faint smell of cedar.
The car slowly passed through an old street, and outside the car window, there were elderly people walking with pu fans, and young men and women snuggling and flirting.
Wen Ran glanced at the air conditioning outlet and unconsciously wrapped his arms.
Yan Wangshu likes the temperature of 25°C.
He didn't say anything, pressed his finger twice, and set the temperature to 27°C.
Wen Ran said solemnly: "Thank you." ”
The car was stable in front of the zebra crossing, Yan Wangshu glanced sideways at Wen Ran, and saw that she pinned the hair on her cheeks behind her ears, revealing her small pinna, he smiled: "Aren't you going to leave 'Carlisle'?" ”
!!!
Is the topic so abrupt?
Wen Ran wanted to turn the topic over as soon as possible: "Oh, I just suddenly figured it out." ”
Then accompanied by a polite smile: "Hehe." ”
When the crowd passed, Yan Wangshu stepped on the accelerator lightly, and his tone was loose: "What do you understand?" ”
"......" Wen Ran couldn't escape, so he had to lick his lips and say plainly, "Carlisle is a very good company, I believe that under the leadership of Carlisle, I will gain a lot, and I believe that these experiences will add a lot to my ordinary life!" I promise you that there will never be another reckless act like that afternoon, and I will be a good person and do things well! ”
"Excellent company?" Yan Wangshu grasped the point of this funny remark and replied, "Isn't it a broken company?" ”
Wen Ran was choked by these words and took a big breath.
She couldn't help but turn her head to look at him, the street lamp was faintly through the banyan tree in the old street, and the corners of his mouth were curved.
Wen Ran knew he was teasing himself, but he didn't understand why he was like this.
She lowered her tone: "I'm still young, please forgive me for being ignorant." ”
Her voice was weak, thin, like a kitten begging for mercy.
Yan Wangshu felt that his heart was scratched.
In the next second, he restrained his expression, and even his tone was serious: "Wen Ran, why did you come to 'Carlisle'?" ”
"Huh?"
The car merged into the main street and was stuck at the intersection.
He looked sideways at her, his gaze straight away, no longer in the loose posture he had just now.
Wen Ran looked away with a weak heart, not daring to look at him.
There was a car in front of me trying to plug into the turning lane, and someone pressed the horn several times.
Wen Ran felt that the atmosphere was tense in an instant.
She thought, why did Yan Wangshu ask like this, didn't he really know something?
Thinking about it like this, Wen Ran felt that it was unreasonable for Yan Wangshu to eat with her today and send her home.
She even thought, is it a chance encounter?
The next second, she felt that her idea was too outrageous.
Yan Wangshu put her unnaturalness, her panic, her confusion... Panoramic view.
She looked like she had been bullied.
Yan Wangshu shook her head helplessly, her appearance took full advantage.
The road ahead was cleared, Yan Wangshu stepped on the accelerator slightly, and his tone was light: "Wen Ran, what do you want most now?" ”
He glanced at her, "Tell the truth." ”
These two words inexplicably hammer Wen Ran's heart.
She thought for a moment: "I want to win the 'Apollo Jewelry Design' competition." ”
Yan Wangshu followed and asked, "Then what?" Being an independent designer? ”
"Yes."
Wen Ran answered Yan Wangshu's question with his heart, but he was silent after this question.
Wen Ran felt panicked in the car, so he could only pretend to play with his mobile phone.
While playing, a message flashed on the top of the phone, which was sent by Zhai Chengjing.
Wen Ran already had a hunch, and the result of clicking on it was that he would come to Shanghai tomorrow and ask her to meet.
Tomorrow is Sunday, and the time is ok.
Wen Ran replied: [Okay, senior brother. 】
Zhai Chengjing: [I will go to Shanghai at noon tomorrow, and you can tell me the address of your hotel. 】
Wen Ran had a hotel address, and typed back: [Senior brother, I'm looking for you. 】
Zhai Chengjing: [Okay. 】
Zhai Chengjing: [I brought you something, do you want it? ] 】
Wen Ran felt that it was a gift: [I want to be [well-behaved]]
For several minutes, I didn't wait for Zhai Chengjing to reply to the message.
The vehicle slowly stopped at the entrance of the 'Lanyu Wind' community.
Wen Ran glanced at it and unbuckled his seat belt: "Thank you, Mr. Yan." ”
Before she pushed the car door, Yan Wangshu called her in a calm voice: "Wen Ran." ”
"Huh?"
"The 'Apollo' game is fair and impartial."
Fairness and justice indicate that there is a great opportunity.
Wen Ranwaner: "Yes." ”
"You're too young to have any qualifications."
“?” Wen Ran paused for a moment and nodded obediently, "Yes." ”
"Independent designer, you still need time."
“??” Wen Ran nodded again, "Yes." ”
Yan Wangshu put his finger to his lips and took a deep breath: "You sort out a portfolio and hand it over to my office on Monday, I'll take a look at it first." ”
“???” Wen Ran didn't quite understand why he suddenly attached so much importance to his work, but he still nodded obediently, "Yes." ”
He looked at her and stopped talking.
Wen Ran was stared at and panicked, and hesitated for a long time before he spoke: "Mr. Yan, then I'll go back first, you drive carefully." ”
After speaking, Wen Ran raised his hand to push the car door, the skirt was lifted, and the toes were pointed vertically on the ground, revealing slender and slender calves.
"Wen Ran."
Wen Ran turned around, but Yan Wangshu didn't look at himself.
He leaned back in his chair, his arm resting on the central armrest, and the looming green tendons and veins extended to the back of his hand, slightly raised.
He tapped his fingers: "Last time you said, you want to go to my house?" ”
???
Wen Ran took two seconds to remember what he had said.
- I want to go to your house and see your collection, is it okay?
Yan Wangshu tilted his head, his pale pupils narrowed slightly, and threw out an olive branch: "Now, do you want to go?" ”
"Go." Wen Ran did not hesitate at all.
She retracted her foot, neatly pulled the hem of her skirt, folded it on her lap, and closed the door.
Yan Wangshu laughed: "Seat belt." ”
Wen Ran obediently fastened his seat belt.
The "click" of the seat belt is exceptionally crisp.
Yan Wangshu didn't drive immediately, he looked at the night in front of him, thinking, he had lost his senses.
He turned to look at her, as if looking for an answer.
Seeing her biting her lower lip, she couldn't stop the upturned corners of her mouth, and her eyes were full of stars.
She looked at him, then at the front.
It seems to be urging: still not driving?
Yan Wangshu has his own self-confidence, he closed his eyes, just that, he can catch any consequences.
