She leaned on the railing and walked down the spiral staircase, but when she raised her eyes, she was stunned in place, neither advancing nor retreating, and she almost fell down the stairs when she slipped under her feet.

The man raised his head when he heard the voice: "Be careful. ”

He stretched out his arms and stepped up two steps to catch Tao Ting.

Her heart almost jumped out of her throat, Tao Ting was shocked, and when she saw that Leon's suit sleeve was wet with her, she blushed and said, "I didn't mean to." ”

"I see." Leon held her steady.

Tao Ting patted her chest and asked him, "Why did you come out?" ”

"Come out and take a breath." Leon noticed that she was holding the bag, "What about you?" ”

"I ......"

Hearing the movement on the stairs, Tao Ting turned around, and Li Xie and An Jin froze in place, their expressions exactly the same as they had been a few minutes ago.

Leon looked at the two upstairs, then at the one in front of him, nodded, and understood, "Where are you going to slip away?" ”

An Jin avoided his gaze and did not speak.

Li Xie walked down two steps and said, "Let's go out for a ride." ”

Tao Ting then asked, "Do you want to be together?" ”

An Jin and Li Xie turned their heads to look at Tao Ting and were stunned.

To their surprise, Leon readily agreed, "Okay, let's go." ”

Tao Ting drove the car to the door of the hotel, and Leon opened the back door and sat in.

Seeing this, An Jin hurriedly stepped into the co-pilot.

Tao Ting had never seen Li Xie and An Jin so quiet in private.

She glanced in the rearview mirror, and Leon was holding his chin in his hand to look out the window at the night view.

And Li Xie next to him was sitting precariously, and he didn't dare to glance at his eyes.

Wanting to ease the solemn atmosphere, Tao Ting took the initiative to speak: "Why don't we find a place to sit?" ”

"Yes, yes." An Jin nodded again and again, she was about to suffocate to death.

"I know a place." Li Xie seized the opportunity and hurriedly said to Tao Ting, "You stop at the next intersection and change for me." ”

Tao Ting moved to the back row, she looked at Leon through the faint light of the street lamp, and asked, "Does your head still hurt?" ”

The man turned around and replied, "It doesn't hurt anymore." ”

Li Xie took them to a clean bar, where the whole shop occupied a small house, with a restaurant on the first floor, a bar on the second floor, and an open-air terrace.

"You guys go in first." Tao Ting opened the trunk and took out her high-heeled shoes, "I'll change my shoes." ”

She took off her flat shoes and stepped into them with one foot, her center of gravity shook unsteadily, Leon stepped forward and stretched out her arm, Tao Ting grabbed it, and said, "Thank you." ”

"If you're not used to wearing it, don't wear it."

"It's okay, I'll get used to it if I wear more." Tao Ting closed the trunk, "I see that Darlene walks like a fly every day. ”

"You don't have to learn from her, high heels are a woman's torture tool," Leon said. ”

"It can also be a weapon, and men can't see women if they don't stand tall." Tao Ting took out the car key and locked it.

Walking to the door, Leon leaned sideways and let her go in.

Li Xie and An Jin had already found a place, and when the people arrived, Li Xie handed them the menu and asked, "What do you drink?" ”

"I can do it all." Leon said, "You recommend it." ”

As soon as Li Xie was about to speak, Tao Ting said loudly: "Don't drink it after you take the medicine." ”

She flipped to the last page of non-alcoholic beverages and said, "I can't drink while driving, I'll drink orange juice." ”

An Jin pouted: "It's only the two of us who drink, it's so boring." ”

Leon laughs and says, "I'll drink a little, it's okay. ”

An Jin looked at Tao Ting: "What about you?" ”

Tao Ting was embarrassed to refuse again, and said, "Then I'll drink a little too, I can let my dad pick it up." ”

Ahn Jin pointed to the menu and said, "You drink this, it's only four degrees, it's about the same as a drink." ”

Originally, the most common topic that the three of them talked about together was Leon.

Now that the deity is sitting here, they can only stare at each other, and they don't dare to dare to pull the leader to play a game of drinking table.

Li Xie saw that the billiard table was empty, picked up the wine glass and asked, "Why don't you have one?" ”

An Jin couldn't wait to find something to do, stood up and said, "Go, go." ”

Leon didn't move, and said to them, "Go play." ”

Tao Ting also shook her head: "I won't, you two go." ”

"Let's go, I won't teach you." An Jin wanted to pull Tao Ting up, "It's just two against two." ”

"I have a hand injury and can't play." Leon smiled slightly, "Go ahead." ”

It's not good to leave him here alone, Tao Ting patted An Jin: "Go ahead, let's sit here." ”

"Okay." An Jin looked at Li Jie, "Let's go." ”

An Jin ordered a special concoction for Tao Ting, the name was bells and whistles, she didn't remember it, it smelled of grapefruit, the alcohol was not heavy, and it was quite delicious.

"They seem to be very afraid of you."

Leon said: "I scolded me yesterday, and I definitely don't want to see me today. ”

Tao Ting bit the straw and took a sip of wine, and asked the person opposite, "What's wrong with your hand?" ”

"The aftermath of surgery." Leon stretched out his hand and spread his five fingers, "Sometimes I don't have the strength to grasp things, and this hand is basically useless." ”

Tao Ting stared at his hands, her five fingers were slender and her bones were distinct, and in her aesthetic opinion, these hands were born beautifully.

He described himself like this, and Tao Ting felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it.

No wonder he didn't even catch the cup of coffee last time.

"Why is this happening?" Tao Ting asked softly.

"When you were young, you didn't understand." Leon smiled as he picked up the glass in front of him, and both he and Liam drank pure wine with ice.

Tao Ting didn't ask any more.

"In the future, when you encounter troubles at work, you should vent your feelings in time." Leon looked at a man and a woman at the pool table and said to the person across the table, "Learn from them, drink some wine after work, don't hold back." ”

Tao Ting nodded as if she didn't understand.

"If you don't go crazy anytime and anywhere, one day you'll get a big one." "Don't think too well of everyone, don't help everything, don't believe everything, don't do whatever people say," Leon said. ”

The dim lighting in the bar gave her the courage to look at him directly, Tao Ting said, "Why do you look like you're in .....?"

"In what?" Leon lifted his eyes and looked.

"Farewell."

He took a sip of wine, put down his glass, smiled and said nothing.

Tao Ting is still not very good at drinking, and after half a glass, her whole face turned red.

"I want to go out and blow the wind." She tugged at her neckline, feeling hot.

"Let's go." Leon stood up, "Are you alright?" ”

"It's fine." Tao Ting shook her head, she was not dizzy, and her thinking was very clear.

The two pushed open the glass door and came to the open-air platform, Tao Ting leaned on the railing and raised her chin, letting the cold wind blow on her face.

"You're graduating next year, aren't you?" Leon stood next to her.

"Hmm." Tao Ting looked at the brilliant lights in the distance, she wanted to care more about her future now, "What do you think will happen to Norbert?" ”

"How's that?"

"Will you not be able to turn over?"

Leon said, "The emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, no, it has its own place." ”

Tao Ting then asked: "I remember you said that you took the name Rock Cat, did you create it?" ”

"It's not counting, I'm the inspiration, but the design and R&D are all done by engineers."

"Then why did something happen to you?"

It's cold outside, and the guests are sitting indoors.

There were only two of them around, and the air was silent for a few seconds, and Tao Ting heard the person next to her say: "Even if you are childish, don't ask questions that you shouldn't ask in the future." ”

Tao Ting also realized that she had said the wrong thing: "I'm sorry. ”

"Didn't you ask me last time, where are the three of you like?"

Tao Ting blinked her eyes.

Leon didn't really get angry, he said, "You don't have any eyes. ”

"You're saying we're missing hearts?"

Leon laughed, "I mean, you kids are so cute. ”

Tao Ting is self-aware: "I may indeed be a little stupid, but they are all right." ”

"You three aren't tactful." Leon clasped his hands on the railing, looked into the distance and said, "I can understand what emotions will manifest." ”

"You're tired, aren't you?" Tao Ting looked at him and muttered to herself.

"Huh?"

Tao Ting put her cold hand on her cheek, shook her head and said, "I'm drunk and talking nonsense." ”

"Call Dad when you're drunk and come home early."

Hearing the melody of "Jingle Bells" ringing in the room, Leon straightened up: "Forget it, it's Christmas Eve." ”

He turned to Tao Ting and said, "Merry Christmas." ”
