Chapter 02: All Fools
In the empty corridor, the sun was as clear as water, Ji Luo looked at Suzaku's reply, hesitated, deleted the written message, and put the phone back in his pocket.
"In any case, three years of blood earnings, the death penalty is not lost. β
Ji Luo tilted his head sideways, looked at the blue sky outside the building, and couldn't help but smile. Beneath him, the line between sunlight and shadow is blurred, and warmth and shade seem to be irrelevant.
Ji Luo stretched out his hand and closed his palm like a sunny one, of course...... He couldn't catch anything.
Β·β As soon as I think of you, I will Wu ~ empty hatred, don't dream for a long time. Wu ~ burn the paper ash and bury the smoke willow ~"
In the silence, a pleasant ringtone suddenly rang, Ji Luo took out his mobile phone, looked at the name of 'Su Qiyan', and did not answer the phone immediately.
"The late one in the previous life ~ engraved in the palm of your hand ~ a drop of ink in your eyes WO~~"
Compared with the original song of another world, Su Qiyan's singing voice carries a kind of girl's unique longing and haze. Miss Su really likes this song very much, and in order to sing it well, she even went to learn vocal music for a few months.
And as the 'author' of this song, Ji Luo also had contact with Su Qiyan from that time. Of course, Ji Luo's 'peerless coquettishness' in another world quickly calmed down Su Qiyan, who was not deeply involved in the world, and became friends with her......
"Hey, Jiluo, why did you answer the phone, what's wrong?"
"It's fine, it's just a little bit of a situation and I can handle it. I'm ready, when are you coming?"
Ji Luo deliberately lowered his voice and slowed down, and his breathing was a little short, which sounded to Su Qiyan on the other end, like Ji Luo, who was physically and mentally exhausted, barely pretending that he was fine.
"Ji Luo, tell me, what's wrong?"
"Finish your commission first, and then talk about it. β
Ji Luo quietly diverted the topic, without saying anything, but gave Su Qiyan a hint - the trouble Ji Luo encountered was related to her commission, and it was not appropriate for her to know at the moment.
"Okay, I'll be there in an hour, be careful. β
"Well, rest assured. β
Ji Luo gave Su Qiyan a firm answer, and then hung up the phone decisively without waiting for her to say anything.
Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills - the owner of the money will hand over the commission to you, if you don't encounter some danger and difficulty, how can you make the father of the owner feel that her money is worth it?
Let her know that it is not easy for you, and let her understand that you have completed the task by all means, hardships and dangers, so that she will thank you in her heart!
As for the commission, talk to Su Qiyan about this after the commission is completed?
At that time, Ji Luo said, "The matter has passed, forget it", which not only showed that he was not proud of his achievements, but also made Su Qiyan feel that he was very man-he shouldered the hardships and difficulties, no matter what happened, he would never let her be embarrassed!
She asked again, and when she asked again, she looked down on his man's pride, and whether she wanted to break off her friendship with him!
Moreover, Su Qiyan, as the second lady of the Su family, grabbed a lot of people who were jealous and hostile to her, who did Ji Luo, let her make up for it by herself~
"Brain supplement, what a good skill~"
Ji Luo felt that he was simply a great genius, he crossed Erlang's legs, lying on the waterbed of the luxury suite, watching a few waiters busy going around, not to mention how proud he was.
"Mr. Ji, your dishes and drinks are all ready, do you need to keep two waiters?"
"No, you all go, my girlfriend will come over right away. β
Ji Luo waved his hand in a chic manner, as if he didn't care about the beautiful faces of several waiters, but after the people were gone, Ji Luo's head tilted, and he instantly turned into a loveless expression.
Ah~~~ I really want to feel the happiness of the rich! I really want to let these six beautiful young ladies serve me to eat, how cool it must be!
But...... For the sake of Su Qiyan's commission, he could only refuse.
"Miss Su, I carry the pig trough for thousands of miles, and it is you who are (feeding)~"
Ji Luo deeply felt how 'good' he was to Su Qiyan, and he was touched by himself, but it was a pity that there was no way to tell her about this kind of selfless dedication that hurt to the bone marrow.
"This ...... Probably the humility of licking dogs. β
Ji Luo sniffed, wiped away the tears he had never had, and slowly climbed off the bed.
In the living room, the table is filled with dishes of color and aroma, and the coffee table is piled up with all kinds of precious wines. Miss Su has money, and Ji Luo didn't save her, and this meal is enough to buy the small dilapidated house he lives in.
Ji Luo took the wine bottle and looked at it, but he didn't find a brand he knew, all of them were foreign labels, and the color of the wine was also strange, as if it was mixed with pigments.
"Su Qiyan likes blue, so choose a bottle of blue~"
Ji Luo kicked off his slippers and sat down on the sofa with the wine bottle, he laboriously lifted the cap, glanced left and right, and then took out a packet of white powder from his pocket and carefully poured it into the wine bottle......
The white powder quickly dissolved into the wine, but Ji Luo did not dare to let his guard down, he stared at the bottom of the bottle, and kept shaking the bottle until there was no residual powder in the blue wine, and then he stopped moving.
"If there is another choice, I really don't want to do this~"
Ji Luo carefully placed the wine bottle, looked up at the clock, the time was just right, everything was under control.
"Well, let everything ...... Let's go. β
Ji Luo got up from the couch, pulled his slippers and walked to the door of the room, and thenβbegan to undress.
The layout of the hotel suite is very different, and the bathroom is located on the side after entering the room, and Ji Luo directly threw his clothes on the ground and scattered them in front of the bathroom door, creating an illusion of impatience.
Afterwards, Ji Luo went into the bathroom and rinsed it while putting water in the bathtub.
Originally, Ji Luo just wanted to dip some water to make do, but the hotel's big bathtub was so refreshing, Ji Luo soaked in the water, enjoyed the vibration massage of the bathtub, and was so comfortable that he didn't want to move......
Knock knock!
In a daze, Ji Luo vaguely heard the sound of knocking on the door, he slammed his spirit, and instantly woke up!
"Who~~~"
Ji Luo deliberately dragged the long tone, hurriedly climbed out of the bathtub, he dragged the bottle next to him, didn't care about the shower gel or shampoo, hurriedly squeezed out, wiped it on his hair, and scratched out the white foam.
"Ji Luo~Who else can there be, it's me~"
"Pray for Yan~ I'll open the door right away!"
To tell the truth, Ji Luo was really shocked by Miss Su's voice, he didn't expect that Su Qiyan would fight so hard, she can learn this kind of little girl's coquettish voice!
Ning Nanqiu's goods, has it annoyed Miss Su to such an extent, forcing her to act to this point.
"Ji Luo, what are you doing?don't worry, be careful of falling~"
"It's okay~ I'm here!"
Ji Luo took his head full of white foam, casually wrapped a bath towel, and with a surprised and bright smile, he opened the door forcefully-
"Jiluo~"
The first time she saw Ji Luo, the girl with bright eyes and bright teeth outside the door couldn't wait to pounce on him, hugging Ji Luo tightly, not caring about the moisture on his body at all.
"Qi Yan, you're hugging too hard, are you, do you miss me so much?"
"Of course~ I haven't seen you for three days~ It really feels like nine years have passed. β
Su Qiyan looked up at her delicate and beautiful face, there seemed to be ripples in her moist eyes, she lowered her head and kissed Ji Luo's chest lightly, the flush spread on her face, and she was unbelievably beautiful......
"Me too~"
Although Ji Luo tried his best to play his role, there was still an inevitable slight tremor in his voice-Su Qiyan's acting skills were too terrifying! What did she want to do?
"Su Qiyan, you ......"
At this time, the young man who followed Su Qiyan finally recovered from the shock of aphasia, but his voice was still trembling violently.
He's not scared - he's going to be!
He has always liked Su Qiyan! He has been liking Su Qiyan for more than ten years!
The Su family and the Ning family are world friends, and it is almost a given thing that the two are together, and he has long regarded her as his wife in his heart, and he treats her better than anyone else!
Butβhe never dreamed that she would actually green herself! and openly talk to her adulterer in front of her!
It's him, it's him first, it's clear that he came first...... Whether he met, understood, or fell in love with her, he came first!
Ning Nanqiu looked at Su Qiyan, who was in the posture of a little woman in Ji Luo's arms, and only felt that something exploded in his head, his eyes widened, his teeth were bitten bloody, and he couldn't stop trembling.
"Are you...... Ning Nanqiu?"
At this time, Ji Luo seemed to have finally discovered Ning Nanqiu's existence, he hugged Su Qiyan, who was blushing with his cheeks, and looked at Ning Nanqiu with surprise and gratitude.
"Qi Yan and I mentioned you and said that you often take care of her and are a good person! Thank you for the help you have been giving her, you have worked hard. β
"I... I ......"
Ning Nanqiu clenched his fists, his eyes breathed fire, as if he was about to tear Ji Luo directly. Su Qiyan sensed his hostility, turned his head, and stared at him coldly, but never left Ji Luo's embrace.
"Ning Nanqiu, if you're a man, don't let me look down on you!"
β......β
Ning Nanqiu really deserves to be a child of a big family with a background, even in this situation, he still restrained his desire to do it. He endured it, and he endured it with reason!
Looking at Ning Nanqiu with a distorted face, Ji Luo couldn't help but feel sorry for him, Su Qiyan is too ruthless, look at this childish, such a handsome guy, he is going to be angry with the sequelae of cerebral thrombosis.
"Hello, I'm Ning Nanqiu. β
Ning Nanqiu still replied to Ji Luo, although every word he said seemed to be squeezed out of his teeth.
"Hello, my name is Ji Luo!"
Ji Luo looked at Ning Nanqiu with a bright smile, and took the initiative to stretch out his right hand to express his kindness.
β......β
Ning Nanqiu stared at Ji Luo coldly, as if he wanted to see the ugliness behind his smile, but Ji Luo's business smile had reached its peak, and his scrutiny was meaningless.
After a few seconds of coldness, Ning Nanqiu finally raised his right hand, but before he could shake hands with Ji Luo, Su Qiyan had already taken the first step to pull back Ji Luo's arm, and glanced at Ning Nanqiu with disgust by the way.
"Ning Nanqiu, you want to see Ji Luo, and now that you see you, you can go. β
"Qi Yan, Nanqiu is your friend, how can you say that!"
Ji Luo pinched Su Qiyan's face 'reproach', Su Qiyan snorted, but did not refute Ji Luo.
"Nanqiu, come in and sit down. β
Ji Luo took Su Qiyan and took a step back, leaving the door open so that Ning Nanqiu could see the clothes he threw on the ground and the bathroom with the sound of water......
"Oops! I forgot, there's still hot water in the bathtub!
"No, since we're soaking together, the water temperature is too low, you will be uncomfortable~ Don't worry, wash your hair first. Hey~ Why are your clothes littered again!How many times have you been reminded, you have to put them away~"
Although Su Qiyan verbally said that Ji Luo didn't need to put cold water, he didn't stop Ji Luo from entering the bathroom. She closed the door of the bathroom, curled her loose sideburns behind her ears, squatted down very virtuously, picked up the clothes that Ji Luo threw on the ground one by one, folded them, and put them on her lap, even her underwear was folded squarely.
"Pray for the face, you...... Do you really like him?"
Ning Nanqiu had already suffered too many blows today, and in the face of this scene, he calmed down. After more than ten years of acquaintance and liking, Ning Nanqiu knows Su Qiyan too well, even if all this is a scene directed by her, he is not surprised.
Su Qiyan, whom he knew...... It won't make such a loud sound, and it won't make such a small woman's gesture.
She's a black-bellied, yes - a very dark-bellied girl.
However, Ning Nanqiu had never seen it, and never even thought that Su Qiyan would have such a gentle time. At this moment, her expression and posture when she folded Ji Luo's clothes may not even be known to herself...... It's really like a newlywed wife folding clothes for her husband, quiet, beautiful and natural.
The gentleness and serenity that soaked between her eyebrows and eyes were really ...... Can it be pretended?
"Su Qiyan, are you sure that you are doing all this because you like it?
β......β
Facing Ning Nanqiu's desperate questioning, Su Qiyan finally stopped showing a false expression, her hands pressed on the clothes on her knees, raised her head, and looked at Ning Nanqiu calmly, with no disgust, no indifference, and no refutation in her pupils......
Even, there is no language. She just lowered her eyelids and shook her head gently.
As if the words were too pale, the answers were too heavy, and the truth was too hurtful, Su Qiyan just shook his head, very lightly, but Ning Nanqiu suddenly understood everything.
Because you understand, you understand, because you understand, you are powerless, because you are powerless, you sigh.
"You ...... Impossible. β
Ning Nanqiu took a deep breath, forcibly endured the overwhelming emotions, and only a simple statement was left in his words.
"Impossible ......"
Ning Nanqiu opened his lips, he couldn't say half a word, he glanced at Su Qiyan deeply, shook his head, turned around, and staggered forward......
"Ning Nanqiu, thank you. My mom once told me that some people are special. If you miss it, then you will never meet such a person again in your life. β
"But you also know that it is impossible for you. β
β......β
Su Qiyan did not refute Ning Nanqiu's words, she squatted on the ground, hugged Ji Luo's clothes, and looked at Ning Nanqiu's back as she left, just silent.
Then the girl straightened up, closed the door, kicked off her shoes, and walked barefoot into the room.
In the face of fate, words are too pale, because they understand...... So silence.
"Ji Luo, we are all fools. β
