red and white roses together

Chapter 13 The Seventh Rose

It's three o'clock in the morning, the hustle and bustle of the day has subsided by this point, and the prosperity of the new day has not yet begun, and it is the quietest time in the whole city.

There is no one on the wide street, and occasionally a car speeds by, breaking the silence of the night with its bright lights and horn.

Ji Congxiao was walking on the sidewalk beside the road, looking up at the dark shops and shopping malls on the street, without the company of the bustling crowd, those colorful neon lights that never go out all night also dimmed by three points, revealing in this dark night With strong loneliness and loneliness.

Subconsciously turned to look at the person walking on the right, got a questioning look, and suddenly felt at ease.

"There's a hotel up ahead, and I'm going to spend the night there. Do you want to come together?" Sheng Huai asked, pointing to the light sign not far ahead.

They came out of the 39th, both drunk and unable to drive.It's not appropriate to find a substitute driver, and it's too late, it's obviously too unreasonable to call an assistant to pick him up, so that he is still wandering around in the deserted streets at this moment.

Ji Congxiao didn't want to go home, even though he was a little tired at the moment, he still didn't want to go back to rest.When I went back, there was only an empty apartment, and following Sheng Huai, no matter what, I was not alone.Therefore, without asking a single word, without thinking about anything, I followed others all the way, and I didn't realize it until now.

"If we are photographed going into the hotel together again, this time there will be no mouths to tell." Ji Congxiao raised his lips, the two of them didn't put on any pretense this time, relying on the fact that no one was there in the middle of the night, they were so careless walking on the street.It's okay to press the road, even if it is photographed by the paparazzi, at most it can say that the two have a good relationship, send a material to the zodiac cp, no one will feel that they are not clear, after all, the masses are not fools.However, if the two really entered the hotel together, then... Ji Congxiao felt that Ye Zhuo would definitely hack him to death with a random knife.

Or add He She, after all, this lady is also famous for protecting her shortcomings.

"You won't be able to sleep for a few hours even if you go to the hotel. Do you want to experience the late-night scenery of our Great Emperor's Capital, Brother Sheng?" He urged.

"Late at night, don't the neon signs of the traffic flow at night? I have already understood it, whether it is domestic or foreign." Sheng Huai declined. According to the biological clock, he should be in a deep sleep at this moment.

"No, you're talking about the same night scene. The reason why each city is different from other places is because of the culture it contains and the traditions passed down from history. There is a..."

Ji Congxiao paused and looked sideways at Sheng Huai.

A handsome man was walking under the bright street lamps. The warm yellow light poured down from the top of his head, casting a small shadow on his face, making the outline of that face deeper and revealing the tiredness in the corners of his eyes and brows. exhaustive.

"Is there a what?" Sheng Huai couldn't help but stop and asked without hearing the following text.

What he wanted to say remained in his throat, Ji Congxiao shook his head, and bent his lips: "It's nothing, the hotel is here, I should go back."

He said goodbye, and immediately crossed Shenghuai Station to the side of the road, intending to stop the car.

Sheng Huai frowned slightly and grabbed his wrist.

Although he didn't know why this man was so excited just now, but suddenly changed his mind now, Sheng Huai could clearly feel Ji Congxiao's reluctance to go home.There is reluctance in both words and deeds. Of course, it is not reluctance to him, but reluctance to their activities.

This is the case now, and it was the same at the last banquet night, the phone...

No, the phone is not.

At that time already at home.

Sheng Huai frowned, overthrowing the idea that "kids just love to play" in his heart, and replaced it with another idea that made him hesitate.

Maybe... It's not that he loves to play, or that he doesn't want to go home, but that he doesn't want to be alone?

But Ji Congxiao doesn't look like...

Regardless of whether this guess is correct or not, Sheng Huai's heart suddenly softened when he thought of the time when he was always holding people close to each other.

He raised his hand and gently pinched the bridge of his nose, refreshing himself.

"You said, what does the emperor have?"

Ji Congxiao paused, then slightly raised his head to stare at Sheng Huai.Against the light, he couldn't see his expression clearly, but he took a panoramic view of the indulgence in those brown pupils, and smiled instantly: "What about the health regimen you agreed on? Uncle?"

"29 years old, I can still be self-willed for a few more nights." Sheng Huai pressed his elbow on his shoulder, and it was rare to be wanton, "Lead the way, kid."

Ji Congxiao was so happy that he didn't even care about the child's title.Pulling people forward: "I'll take you to the ghost market! It's not far from here, about 10 minutes walk. Have you heard of it? Ghost market..."

Seeing his instantly raised eyebrows, Sheng Huai also curled up the corners of his lips.

Ji Congxiao spoke vigorously, with a sense of pride in introducing the characteristics of his hometown to his friends.His eyebrows are flying, his hands are dancing, and he can even dance when he is excited.

For the third time, Sheng Huai stuffed him back inside after jumping to the side of the road, and couldn't help but help his forehead: "How old is the kid? Jumping and jumping?"

Ji Congxiao spread his hands, he is happy tonight.

Although few people refused when he planned to renew the stall, once he let go, the others would immediately disband and go home happily. This was the first time that he was offered to be accommodated when he was already planning to give up.

Suddenly, I understood why Ms. He's family liked the feeling of being in the dark.

So pleasantly surprised.

Suppressing first and then raising, it is tens of millions of times higher than the feeling you got at the beginning.

Of course, he still felt that the Genting Clubhouse was for hide-and-seek.

……

It wasn't until the two of them crossed the road and walked onto the zebra crossing that Ji Congxiao realized something was wrong.

"Brother Sheng? You don't want to treat me like a girl, do you? Although this is indeed very gentlemanly, I am also a big man, so I don't need to be so careful."

He looked up at the person walking in front of him on the right intentionally or unintentionally, and frowned.

Sheng Huai carefully avoided the right-turning vehicles until he crossed the road and squeezed people into the aisle again, then he replied:

"I didn't treat you as a girl. I'm sorry if it troubled you."

"So you still haven't answered my question."

Sheng Huai sighed, raised his eyes and looked at him helplessly: "Did you forget? Two hundred yards."

Before Truth or Dare the man himself said the rules, liars go two hundred yards.He felt strange at the time, Du Mingjing's purpose was not clear, no one knew what kind of questions he would ask, and whether he could give a real answer.At first, he thought it was Ji Congxiao's unique skill that could ensure his invincibility, so he said such a sentence.But it turns out he was thinking too much.

This person just doesn't take his own words to heart at all, and speaks nonsense with his eyes open.

The simple three words made Ji Congxiao stunned.

I never thought it would be such an answer.

Suddenly remembered that in the previous game, he had won too much for Du Mingjing to see the flaws, so he deliberately released water and rolled a small number of points, but except for the first time when Du Mingjing asked him, the rest, without exception, was Sheng Huai If the points are smaller than him, you have won the opportunity to ask questions.Of course, there was never anything to lie about in the questions he raised.

So, have you been taken care of by this person since then?

Ji Congxiao's heart trembled.A smile unconsciously formed between his lips.Du Mingjing... is really blind.

The people around him didn't catch up, so Sheng Huai stopped and turned to look at him.

I saw Ji Congxiao standing among the shadows of trees, most of his face was hidden in the darkness, and he couldn't see his expression clearly.Only the corners of the lips, with some weird curvature.

He just thinks that young Ji Congxiao doesn't believe in this feudal superstition.

"Don't laugh. It's better to believe what you have than to believe what you don't have." Sheng Huai walked to his side, raised his hand and patted the back of his head, "There is only one life, so cherish it."

Ji Congxiao raised his lips to him, noncommittal.

……

The ghost market is a rare and mysterious place in the imperial capital. It opens at two or three o'clock at night, and disappears quietly before dawn in the morning.Its location is always changing, but it cannot be revealed publicly, only by word of mouth.Whether you can find it depends on chance.

It is said that this is a tradition handed down hundreds of years ago.In the early years, there were many servant girls from rich and noble families and playboys who were short on money secretly stole the things at home, and set up stalls to sell them in the dead of night.So far, it has become a market that appears in the middle of the night.Most of the things inside are old things, old clothes and shoes, antique utensils and so on.But it doesn't matter if it's true or not, don't ask where it came from.

"I found it when I was wandering around at three or four in the middle of the night. I was still young and ran away from home with no money and nowhere to go. I came here by chance and listened to the old stall owners talking about those things in the ghost market. The origin of the thing. I don’t understand those dilapidated antiques, but I like to hear them say that they sneaked out several times at night and stayed here until dawn before returning.”

Ji Congxiao led Sheng Huai through the booths. Here, no one would care about your identity, whether you are the film king or the king of the world, or the richest man in the world, unless you want to buy their things, no one will reveal your identity. I'll take care of you with my eyelids.What's more, the lights in the ghost market are dim, with only a small light tube on the booth, no matter how miserable the handsome guy is, he has to disappear in the darkness.

Sheng Huai looked at everything in front of him curiously. After following Ji Congxiao for three or four booths, he was finally not satisfied with following him to listen to the story and took control of the steering wheel.Go straight to the various old antiques on the various stalls.

After a while, his arms were already full of things.A small 60s radio, a small fission bowl wrapped tightly in newspaper, a stained glass lamp from an unknown age, and a toy locomotive that Ji Congxiao set his sights on but put down.

His chest was full, but he was still dissatisfied, so he stuffed a small half into Ji Congxiao's hands, and ran to the front to buy some vinyl records and some ancient copper coins.

Ji Congxiao: "..."

The Sheng Huai in front of him is probably a fake.

……

The two went shopping in the ghost market until it was getting dark before going home to catch up on sleep.

Just as they fell asleep, Du Mingjing opened his eyes in the guest room of No. 39.

Looking at the unfamiliar ceiling, Du Mingjing recalled what happened last night.Thinking about it, he was probably sent here by Sheng Huai and Ji Congxiao after being drunk.

He took his mobile phone and planned to call his assistant to send clothes over.However, as soon as he sat up, he felt goosebumps all over his body due to the cold air from the air conditioner, and he realized that he was naked.

Take another look around—

The messy big bed, the clothes thrown all over the floor, the used condoms on the carpet, the strawberries scattered on the chest, and... the satisfaction that the body has obviously vented...

All of them left him stunned on the spot.

……

"Mr. Du, Mr. Du?"

The assistant held the file and looked at his boss worriedly.Early this morning, after he came out of the clubhouse, his condition was not quite right. When he returned to the company and passed Ye Zhuo's office, his expression was even more strange and unpredictable.I don't know what's wrong, there's nothing wrong today, except...except that the boss suddenly turned on meat?

Du Mingjing came back to his senses, quickly signed the document, and dismissed the assistant.Alone, he untied his tie and leaned back in his chair, taking a deep breath.

When he guessed what he did last night, the first thing he thought of was to identify the other person.

Taking advantage of his assistant delivering clothes to him early in the morning, he first called Sheng Huai.However, Sheng Huai, who had always had a regular schedule, hadn't gotten up yet, his voice was heavy with sleepiness, and he hung up the phone without saying a word to catch up on sleep.

Ji Congxiao's cell phone couldn't get through, but when he returned to the company, he saw him in Ye Zhuo's office downstairs.Sitting on a chair and talking about work with Ye Zhuo without changing his clothes, he yawned three times in one minute, and he also looked like he was working hard.

Everyone thinks it's possible...

Du Mingjing felt that this situation was inexplicably familiar.
