She couldn't break any of the other party's expressions. Bowing his head, Ji Zhentang took a sip of bak kut tea fragrantly.

"How's the soup?" Zhong Yubai asked.

She nodded: "It's delicious, like when I was a kid." My mom would cook this. ”

It's not a Western banquet, it's a Nanyang flavor, next to the bak kut tea, the waiter sends a plate of green Nyonya cake. The food of her childhood reminded her of the light and shadow of many old depreciations. The sullen tide of Xingzhou, her hometown that she can't go back to.

Hearing her say that her mother, there was a trace of subtle curiosity, but Zhong Yubai didn't ask. He said: "Riverside Garden, a hotel built by overseas Chinese in Sin Chew 50 years ago, brought a group of old chefs from there, and they have been working until today. ”

Ji Zhentang said: "The chef of Sin Chew, no wonder. ”

Her mother, her "no wonder", the other party should have answered the question of no wonder at this point in the ordinary conversation, but probably, the lack of interest prevented him from extending the topic indefinitely.

Zhong Yubai didn't ask, and she didn't continue to mention her own business. He didn't move his chopsticks, and calmly watched Ji Zhentang bite the brushed coconut pastry.

He is very profound, does not mention needs, and only says that he is full of food before he can talk about things.

"Your shirt is beautiful, very elegant, like a teacher."

is praising his clothes, and he is also praising people. She didn't raise her head, and she was skillful in complimenting, but she was actually telling the truth. With such a dusty student face, he is always much more honest than those who work with him with scheming, Zhong Yubai laughed.

He lowered his eyes to look at the soft shirt on his body, and said, "When you visit the school, you must pretend to be a pedant and hide people's eyes." ”

Ji Zhentang said: "You don't need to pretend, your temperament is very similar to that of a professor, and you are the kind of person with a good temper, very popular, and every class is crowded." ”

After she mentioned it, Zhong Yubai remembered the old things and said: "I was invited to give technical guidance to several masters a few years ago. ”

"What course do you teach? Teach them how to build a ship? ”

He raised his eyebrows: "Cheating?" ”

She said nonsense: "My friend's father is in your company and has explained everything to me, didn't you think of it?" ”

Zhong Yubai smiled and asked, "What else do you want to explain?" ”

"How can you say it all, it's not interesting."

His expression became helpless, and his gaze deepened to her.

She tied her ponytail, and when she lowered her head, the deep bones of her eyebrows and eyes appeared in the light and shadow, and the light light hazel in her eyes made people feel intoxicated.

He didn't drink, and when he looked at her for a long time, he felt a new drunkenness.

The murmuring water of the river flows through the soles of the feet, reflecting the neon lights of the river. She glanced at the glittering cruise ship and seemed to hear the cheers of the rich kids.

Zhong Yubai's posture relaxed slightly.

Ji Zhentang was full, and finally took the initiative to ask, "What do you want me to help you?" ”

Zhong Yubai stopped going around in circles, and when he saw her put down the dishes, he mentioned serious things: "Ji Xinhe is your aunt?" ”

"Yes."

Immediately afterwards, Zhong Yubai explained his intentions.

His grandmother is nearly 90 years old, and this year the family has the idea of celebrating the birthday of the elderly, and has been preparing for almost a year, and the dots are meticulous, but one thing has not been realized.

Zhong Yubai wanted to make a dress for her, and found a bunch of tailors before and after, but there were no matching ones, some were too cutting-edge, some were too tacky, and he said that his grandmother was very picky.

Ji Zhentang suddenly said: "You want to find us Luotang Pavilion to make clothes for your grandmother." ”

He was noncommittal: "She's famous. ”

"But I'm not a tailor, why don't you go directly to my aunt?"

"She had a regular group of clients and turned me down on that ground."

She thought for a moment: "Yes, she only takes orders from old acquaintances. ”

Ji Xinhe is not a snob.

Although the customers of Luotang Pavilion are also famous and can be called upper-class, they are still far from a family like the Zhong family. is probably also afraid of causing trouble, if Ji Xinhe is a person who is greedy for glory, this matter is too easy to solve, but unfortunately she is not.

Ji Zhentang thought about it distressedly, then held his cheeks, smiled and said, "Eat people with a soft mouth, I'll help you find a way." ”

Zhong Yubai bowed his head: "I am grateful." ”

She put down her chopsticks and looked at the man in front of her with a little caution.

He seems calm and a little easy-going, this easy-going brings a strong sense of tolerance, as if this person never gets angry, no matter what the other party says, how tempted, he will only laugh and don't care about her, and the calmness in his bones maintains a certain degree of distance for him.

He doesn't care about you because his heart is locked and he doesn't know right from wrong.

Ji Zhentang pretended to be unintentional and reported to himself: "Then have you heard of my father, he sells tea, and he is also very famous, called Ji Huan." ”

Her love words were urgent, and Zhong Yu Bai Shunteng answered: "Where?" ”

"In Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai, but he has recently wanted to go abroad to explore the market. It's a pity that the business is not very good, and the luck is not good, so it is a little difficult. ”

The man's tone was unwavering, and he said pertinently: "If there is bad luck, sometimes it will work." ”

The big boss's thinking is really open and open, but-"That's the way to go, people are anxious and confused when they can't see the way forward, right?" ”

"Instead of anxiously waiting for the pie to fall on your head, you should calmly gather strength and wait for opportunities."

Zhong Yubai spoke the simple truth, while slowly and methodically sobering up the wine himself, and said to her with relief: "The heart of a businessman is important and outdated. ”

After tasting his words, Ji Zhentang lowered her head, and she guessed with a little shame that Zhong Yubai must have understood her not clever temptation. But fortunately, she looked up at him again, and the man was still elegant and peaceful, and only asked her if she had eaten enough.

At the end of the meal, Ji Zhentang actually didn't eat much, and finally stuffed a mouthful of Nyonya cake into a mouthful of Nyonya cake and emptied a dish.

On that day, she was sent back to school, and stopped the car at the gate of the fourth dormitory of Qingdao University, and the last question Zhong Yubai asked was unexpected: "What does he usually call you." ”

Ji Zhentang took five seconds to judge, the "he" he said meant Zhong Heng, so he replied: "Sometimes he calls me, sometimes he calls me by my name, and occasionally he calls Xiaotang." ”

"Then I won't be called Xiaotang today," the man sat in the night and said slowly, "I'm waiting for your good news, Ah Zhen." ”

Ji Zhentang felt that the tip of his heart seemed to be pinched, and it collapsed softly.

She looked at the man's bottomless eyes, and chose to remain silent after hesitation, and reservation was also a kind of avoidance, avoiding the other party's menacing hook.

She laughed and waved, "Good night, big boss." ”

When she got out of the car, the girl's delicate and convex figure in the night, leaving a touch of bright color in his retinal deficiency, Zhong Yubai smiled faintly: "Good night, little artist." ”

In the overflowing tenderness, she watched his scarlet headlights drive into the night of the moon like a drama, and soon disappeared without a trace, leaving only a vein of spring love.

-

Back to the dormitory.

As soon as he pushed the door, Ji Zhentang heard Zhou Yan's voice: "Wow, I saw Zhong Heng coming to Tang Tang again today, he is really handsome, so handsome, if I fall in love with such a boy, I can be in a better mood if I don't do anything and keep looking at his face, I envy Tang Tang, I don't know what it's like to fall in love with Shuaibi." ”

"Feelings: Either he dies or I die." Ji Zhentang appeared in time, revealing a walking corpse look, "First-hand news, so handsome and handsome now single, go and seize the opportunity." ”

Zhou Yi: "Wow, you broke up?" What do you say in the forum? Sure enough, it won't last three months! ”

Su Yunli on the side paused to remove makeup, and also looked at it.

Ji Zhentang answered, and nested listlessly in his hanging chair.

Zhou Yi came over to gossip.

"Who dumped whom?"

"Why?"

"Did you split your legs?"

Ji Zhentang thought for a while and said: "Because men's development period drags on for a long time, if you want to talk for a long time, you need to endure their low-level thinking, and I have endured it to the limit." ”

One answer covers three questions.

Lin Guixue, who was watching the drama in bed, stuck her head out of the bed curtain and shouted, "I agree!" ”

Zhou Yi asked: "What's the matter, Zhao Siqi offended you again?" ”

Lin Guixue was angry: "Don't mention it, this product is a thirteen o'clock!" ”

She closed the curtain after venting, unwilling to talk in detail.

Zhou Yi: "Huh? Aren't you two still in an ambiguous relationship? It's not good to be yellow? ”

Ji Zhentang probably guessed Lin Guixue's depression, these rich sons and brothers are very similar in virtue.

Before going to bed, pinching the top-notch autograph that came in, Ji Zhentang thought that thanks to her aunt's temperament, she was unwilling to provoke Zhong Yubai, so that Ji Zhentang was stained, and she could be regarded as having seen the scenery of a top restaurant.

Thinking about it, his hand slipped, and the signed photo fell from the top bunk to the ground.

Zhou Yi screamed: "Oh, my brother's signature? Where did you buy it from?!! ”

Ji Zhentang froze: "Uh, Ma...... Picked up on the road. ”

"How is that possible?! I've never seen this picture? Where did you come from, tell me quickly! ”

She didn't explain, she was a favor, and said with a smile: "I don't know, I'll send you." ”

If it weren't for the much-sought-after autographed photo, Ji Zhentang would have woken up from sleep, and I am afraid that Jiangbin Garden would be just a part of her dream.

-

In the dim rainy season of May, Ji Zhentang returned to Luotang Pavilion, and the sound of Ji Xinhe stepping on the sewing machine was crisp and regular, and it was quickly overshadowed by the joy and impatient footsteps of the people who rushed into the door: "Auntie, I have good news!" ”

Ji Zhentang pounced on Ji Xinhe's body and grabbed her shoulders from behind with a smile.

Ji Xinhe put down the tools in his hand and smiled helplessly, "Just say something, be reckless." ”

Ji Zhentang leaned into her ear and muttered about what Zhong Yubai told her.

Ji Xinhe listened to it, his smile faded, his brows frowned slightly, and he sneered: "Do you still have the ability to help me work?" What if I don't agree with you? ”

Ji Zhentang smiled and said: "My aunt is beautiful and kind-hearted, but she doesn't do a big business?" I'm sorry for you. As she spoke, she squeezed her aunt's shoulders and offered her respects.

Ji Xinhe smiled and patted her wrist off.

"It's really digging and jumping."

"So you won't say yes?" Ji Zhentang looked at her.

Ji Xinhe said: "Let me think about it. ”

Ji Zhentang continued to fan the flames: "But I've eaten other people's dinners." ”

"Bought you for a meal?"

"It's not a simple meal, we're watching the scenery in the riverside garden."

Ji Xinhe sighed: "It's worthy of being a big boss, and I'm really willing to spend money." ”

"Isn't it? Full of sincerity. ”

As she spoke, she diligently helped her aunt clean up the house, and said, "I guess Zhong Yubai will offer a high price, but you don't take his money, when necessary, we will ask for favors, this is more useful." ”

"You little girl, you can cut it down." Ji Xinhe raised his hand and poked her head, "Whether to help or not is another matter, don't give me a crooked mind." ”

Ji Zhentang was poked down in the easy chair by her, looked up and said, "What, this is how connections circulate, I like to make friends." ”

Ji Xinhe was silent for a long time, and his eyebrows suddenly became a little worried: "Just sent one away, and another one." Endless bargains, endless losses. ”

Ji Zhentang shook his head and said: "The relationship is different, and the status is not the same. There is simply no comparison. ”

“……”

Ji Xinhe should not, and continue to do her needlework.

Ji Zhentang lay on the chair and shook it, saw her silent, and talked to her heart: "Auntie, Zhong Yubai is powerful and powerful, and they all say that he is very powerful. I thought it would be nice if he could help Dad in business, and if I could help him, Dad would like me a little bit. ”

"......" Ji Xinhe paused and glanced at her.

She said, feeling weak, and her voice was low: "Am I very whimsical. ”

"It's a dream!" Ji Xinhe ruthlessly pierced the fantasy bubble in her head, "What ability do you have to ask people to help you, and make a dress that is called favor?" ”

This time, Ji Zhentang was silent.

She wrung her fingers, sullen.

A few minutes later, Ji Xinhe asked, "What's wrong with your dad?" ”

She whispered, "Not much. It's just that when I went to ask for money, he was indifferent, and I was very sad. ”

What she needs is an exclusive relationship, whether it is family, friendship, love, it seems that for her, pure and single-minded are so difficult, she wants to share a love with many people, it is her fate.

Ji Xinhe listened to it and said: "Don't worry about yourself, think about these meaningless things, what love doesn't love you, just get the living expenses." ”

Ji Zhentang muttered: "If you don't have love, you can like it a little more." I didn't think he loved me. ”

After thinking about it for a long time, Ji Xinhe said: "I'll contact and see, and I don't know if the old lady can see it." But if he insists on giving money, I can't help it. ”

Ji Zhentang smiled: "I understand, I understand!" ”

She held up her phone: "Then I'll tell him." ”

Ji Xinhe said: "Call him to the store." ”

Her voice fell, Ji Zhentang couldn't help but take out her mobile phone and ran upstairs.

She pushed the window and crouched in front of the second-floor window, the cool breeze brought by the rainy day brushed her warm and dry cheeks, and the wind whispered mixed with the long busy sound on the phone, falling on her thin eardrums.

The eagerness and anxiety of waiting is magnified.

Ten seconds later, the phone was connected.

Ji Zhentang suppressed his voice and made a deliberately rough and somewhat cute voice: "Hello, guess who I am?" ”

In a very quiet atmosphere, Zhong Yubai paused, lowered his voice and said, "Wait a minute." ”

She heard some voices speaking from the other end, presumably in the conference room. Then he got up, took a few steps, his shoes on the ground, made a muffled footstep, and soon, the door was shut.

In an open environment.

Zhong Yubai restrained his volume, and spoke out very gently, greeting her: "Good afternoon, Ji Xiaoxiong." ”

A bright smile bloomed at the corner of Ji Zhentang's mouth.

The man also smiled a little warmly, and then said, "Tell your sister that I am waiting for her." ”

She continued to suppress her voice, simulating the voice of the bear: "Sister said, there is good news." ”

When Zhong Yubai heard this, he didn't have much emotion, and he didn't ask what the good news was, as if he already knew it, and guessed the ending, not surprised, but after a few seconds of muttering, he asked softly: "Is there anything better?" ”

"For example?" she asked. ”

"Like the next time, where to meet her?"

Ji Xiaoxiong showed a soft smile: "She said, I hope you will come to Yudeng Street to find her as soon as possible, hurry up, hurry up!" ”

Zhong Yubai couldn't help but smile: "A word is a certainty." ”
