Chapter 67: Long Time No See
On January 1, the first day of the New Year, while still on holiday, Shen Jiannian was able to sleep until noon, and when he woke up, he was in Fu Jichen's bedroom, which he was used to.
The curtains are closed, and the light is a little dim.
Shen Jianian rubbed his heavy head, and found that the clothes on his body were gone, and he put on a shirt by Fu Jichen, smoky gray, metal buttons, Seiko tailoring, and the materials and version were too good to say.
The length of the shirt can be used as a skirt, so she didn't wear pants underneath, and her legs were white and greasy, and the quilt was half protruding.
Fu Jichen was not in the bedroom, Shen Jianian didn't hesitate, got up and took a blanket and draped it on his body, quietly went back to his room, changed into a set of home clothes, and the whole person was much more comfortable.
She seemed to be drunk again last night.
Shen Jiannian raised his hand and pressed it between his eyebrows, and dragged his steps to the bathroom to wash.
The mirror in front of her reflected her ruddy face, and when she looked closely, she did not feel haggard and tired after drunkenness, on the contrary, it seemed like she had slept well.
In fact, she did sleep well last night.
I didn't wake up all night, and I forgot all the dreams I had.
Shen Jianian shook her arm when brushing her teeth, the slightly cool chain on her wrist slid around, and she saw a golden bracelet on her wrist from the mirror, and the whole person froze.
With a mouth full of toothpaste foam, she raised her wrist to look at it, and thought about it carefully, it seemed that Fu Jichen put it on her.
A birthday present?
The memory of last night only stayed at Fu Jichen's bracelet for her, and she had no impression of what happened next, and she couldn't remember what the two said at that time.
Shen Jianian rinsed her mouth, thinking that Fu Jichen should not take advantage of her drunkenness.
She pulled up her long hair and went downstairs with her phone.
There were fewer servants in the living room, and when she went home for the holidays, Zhou Rongzhen was still there, put down the sewing box in her hand, got up and asked her, "Is Jia Nian up?" What do you want to eat at noon? ”
"What about Fu Jichen?"
"Mr. went to the company early in the morning."
The first day of the new year was so busy, Shen Jiannian admired him a little.
"Eat whatever you want, I'm not too hungry." She sat down on the couch.
She ate so much last night that she was like an emotionless eating machine that she hasn't digested it yet.
Zhou Rongzhen went to talk to the chef, came back and sat next to Shen Jiannian, there was no one else in the living room, she couldn't help mentioning the incident at the dinner table last night: "You, you are bold enough to say that kind of thing to Mr." ”
Shen Jianian helped her thread the needle, and when she heard the words, the thin thread and the pinhole were misaligned, and she couldn't pass through: "What did I say?" ”
"You don't remember?" In order to help her recall, Zhou Rongzhen described it very carefully, "When you divided the roast chicken, you cut off the two chicken legs, gave me one, and kept one for yourself." The gentleman was a little savvy, so he asked you what he was eating, and you replied that he should eat chicken butt. ”
Shen Jianian held the needle in his hand and almost poked his finger.
Is that what she said?
She looked at Zhou Rongzhen with surprise and verification, hoping that she would tell herself that she was joking.
However, Zhou Rongzhen nodded in her sight: "That's what you said at the time, I was so scared that I almost didn't cover your mouth." My husband's temper is not so good, and I am afraid that he will get angry on the spot. Fortunately, he didn't say a word, but his face was not very good-looking. ”
Shen Jianian covered her head, estimating that she was eroded by alcohol to her brain at that time, so she would not choose to speak.
She naively thought that her drunken memories stayed in Fu Jichen's bracelet for her, but she didn't know that before that, she was already very drunk.
No wonder the fragments in my mind are fragmented and incoherent.
The mobile phone rang, interrupting Shen Jiannian's thoughts, and after she came back to her senses, she made up her mind, first helped Aunt Zhen put on the needle, and took the mobile phone to the side hall to answer.
Bai Changxia's tired voice came: "Jia Nian, what are you doing during the holidays?" ”
Shen Jianian unconsciously swiped his fingers over the fresh-cut flowers on the solid wood cabinet and said, "Rest at home." ”
Bai Changxia knew that the "home" in her mouth referred to Fu Jichen's residence, the Rose Manor, which was quite mysterious in the people of Yicheng.
"How's my aunt's health?" Shen Jianian asked with concern.
On the phone, Bai Changxia yawned: "I have had surgery and am still recovering, I was in the hospital last night with the bed, and I kept my eyes open until dawn." You know, I chose a bed, and it was hard to fall asleep in a different place. However, my sister came from out of town today, and I should be able to relax a little. ”
Bai Changxia's family is in the jade business, and she has opened a few shops in Beicheng, and she is wealthy compared to ordinary people, and she does not have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is enough to support her to go as far as she can on the road of art.
Compared with the real giants, it is still far behind.
She had an older sister, six years older than her, who was married. Because he is married far away and lives in other places, he only goes home a handful of times a year.
"You also have to pay attention to your body and take time to rest." Shen Jianian advised.
"Well, there is a nurse watching, I'll go out for lunch now, and I'll go home to catch up on sleep when my sister arrives." Bai Changxia said as he walked outside the hospital.
A brand new black Bentley brake stopped in front of her, and she was startled as she didn't pay attention to the road as she answered the phone.
The car window fell, Pei Che's face appeared in the back seat, and his voice was clear: "Long time no see." ”
"Pei, Pei Che." Bai Changxia's breath is unstable.
She learned from the news earlier that Pei Che had returned to China and took over the position of president of Pei's Group, but she didn't take the initiative to contact him because of Shen Jianian's relationship, and she didn't expect him to find this place by himself.
Bai Changxia was so shocked that he couldn't come back to his senses for a long time.
Shen Jianian heard her call out that name, was stunned for a second, and hung up the phone.
*
An hour later, Bai Changxia called Shen Jianian back.
"Pei Che came to me, and we talked for a long time in the café." Bai Changxia confessed, "After he returned to China, he used many connections to find you, but there was no news, he firmly believed that I must know your whereabouts, and did everything possible to trick my words." ”
At that time, Shen Jianian had already had lunch and stayed in the side hall to drink tea.
Yesterday there was a snowfall, the snow is not big, but it has been raining for a long time, and a layer of white has accumulated on the treetops, rockeries, and pavilions, like a fairy tale world in a crystal ball.
Shen Jiannian's heart tightened: "Then you ......"
"Don't worry." Bai Changxia knew what she was worried about, "I didn't say anything. My acting skills are very good, I almost didn't enter the entertainment industry at the beginning, he should believe it, and he won't come to me again in the future. ”
She deliberately said it lightly, not wanting Shen Jianian to be sad.
But she ignored one point, with the power of the Pei family, she was determined to find someone, and one day she would find it, what should Shen Jianian do at that time.
There was the sound of a car stopping in the vestibule, Shen Jianian hung up the phone and walked out of the side hall.
Fu Jichen just entered the house, his black coat draped loosely on his body, depicting shoulders as wide as a mountain, and the hem swept over his trousers. He has long legs, and when he stands there, he looks tall and tall, and his body exudes a dignified and noble body that is different from ordinary people.
A black cat jumped on the instep of his feet, and he twisted his eyebrows and kicked lightly, and the cat ran away, and he didn't know where to go.
"Who let it in?" He rebuked the servant.
Zhou Rongzhen knows the inside story, since the cat scratched a paw of his husband and saw blood, he is very unkind to see this animal. At first, people threw the cat out of the manor, but later, the cat came uninvited a few times, and brought a partner to eat and drink, and the gentleman had also seen it, and he was too lazy to care.
She thought he didn't care, but now he doesn't know why, he has such a big temper.
Shen Jiannian couldn't bear it, so he casually put his mobile phone on the table, and walked over to take off his coat for Fu Jichen: "It's cold, stray cats can't find food and have nowhere to avoid the cold, they will die." ”
Fu Jichen glanced at her, she herself was not happy, and she was worried about the life and death of stray cats and dogs, was she lacking heart?
However, he was very helpful to her initiative, knowing that she still had something to say, so he didn't open his mouth for the time being.
"That ......" Shen Jianian scratched his face with his fingertips and said, "I drank too much last night, and I may have said something I shouldn't have said, don't worry about it, I apologize to you." ”
She thought he was angry because of what happened last night?
Fu Jichen didn't debunk it, let her misunderstand, lowered his gaze, and looked at her white face, with a pink color, which peach became fine.
"How are you going to apologize?" He tugged at his lips, a fire hidden in his eyes.
Shen Jianian didn't understand it before, but after a lot of experience, she naturally understood, if she usually followed his wishes, anyway, she had slept more than once, and she would have been numb.
But she had just heard the news of that person on the phone, and she couldn't muster the strength and interest to curry favor.
"Another day?" Shen Jianian's voice was light and soft, like a feather crossing the tip of his heart.
If you don't agree, you have to agree.
"Okay, I owe it first." Fu Jichen pinched her face, and the feeling was so good that she was reluctant to let go, "You remember it yourself, don't forget it." ”
Shen Jiannian's eyes were lowered, and he saw at a glance that in addition to the black braided rope used to hang the handles, there was also a thin gold chain on his skeletal wrist.
Like the chain she wears on her wrist, hers is a golden lock, and hiss is a golden key.
When did Fu Jichen wear it? Last night? She even forgot.
*
There was no snow on New Year's Day in Beicheng, but the weather was cold, dry and cold, the temperature was minus nine degrees at night, and the north wind was like a blade.
Pei Che returned home, with the smell of all kinds of foreign wine, and the driver who sent him back helped him to the living room and turned to leave.
The crystal chandelier was dazzling, and Pei Che fell into the sofa, raising his arm to block his eyes.
He went to the hospital at noon to find Bai Changxia - Xiao Nian's best friend in the past, and he said all the good things in a nearby café, but Bai Changxia still insisted that he didn't know where Xiao Nian was.
Who else could he turn to?
Zhou Ruo came out of the room with his clothes on, and he could smell the smell of wine wafting from his son from a distance, and he covered his chest and frowned uncomfortably.
"Ache? Ah Che? Go to sleep in your room. ”
Pei Che took his arm away, sat up and looked at his mother, he would rather be drunk and at least forget the pain for a while, but he knew that he was very sober at the moment.
He questioned his mother: "Why didn't you stop my dad at the beginning, you and Aunt Tongshu are like sisters, Xiao Nian was grown up by you, you know how much I love Xiao Nian, she didn't marry in this life, why did it become like this?!" ”
Roaring out, Pei Che's eyes were red, and bloodshot lines were in his eyes, sad and helpless.
