unruly

The voice on the phone will be distorted, but the tone of the person on the other side is still easy to identify, and you can tell who it is at first glance.Ning Zhi recognized the other party almost instantly, and had a corresponding name in her heart. She was startled, stopped the urge to hang up, and continued to answer the phone.

The person on the other side of the phone was none other than Ji Anli who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Mingshu had already blocked or deleted this social account and contact information a few days ago, completely removed him from his online world, and never had any contact with him again.Ji Anli tried to use the old number to call many times in the past two days, but none of them succeeded, and even sending emails didn't work, so he changed to a new number tonight and planned to have a private talk with Mingshu. Try again.

But Ji Anli didn't expect someone else to answer the phone, it was so late, and there was a woman beside Mingshu.

Ji Anli also recognized Ning Zhi's voice immediately, and felt familiar, remembering that this was the female model she had seen in the Taklamakan Desert.

The impression of my last trip to Xinjiang was too deep. The existence of Ningzhi is a potential crisis, and it is hard to forget.

The two sides "met" for the second time, facing each other from afar across the phone.

Both sides were too quiet, with the sound of needles falling, and the atmosphere was very dignified.

Ning Zhi was holding the phone, Bai Xi's fine knuckles tightened little by little, her thin lips were slightly pursed, she turned her head and looked in the direction of the bathroom, and after a long while, she seemed unintentional and said, "You don't know me."

The tone was relaxed and calm, as if he really didn't know who the caller was.

"Name." Ji Anli said restrainedly, even though he knew everything in his heart, he still had to ask.

Ning Zhi avoided answering, and said the same sentence: "If you have anything to do, you will hang up if you don't have it."

Ji Anli asked, "Where's Mingshu?"

Ning Zhi told the truth, without hiding anything, and said bluntly, "I'm taking a shower next to me, I can't make time now, so I'll come out later."

As soon as the words came out, the phone was silent for a second or two.

Ji Anli over there could tell that it was intentional, and the expression on his face became even uglier for a moment.

"Why is her mobile phone with you?" Ji Anli asked, guessing what might be going on, and wouldn't immediately bite the hook and be taken away by Ning Zhi.She suppressed her emotions and basically gritted her teeth to say this sentence.

Ning Zhi on this side looked indifferent, looked at the direction of the bathroom door, felt that Ming Shu would not come out for a while, turned around again, stared at the wooden floor, doing nothing. Lifting the tassels of the carpet, she moved around patiently, and explained kindly, "We just came back from the restaurant, and we're running out of time. She left things outside before she went in and forgot to pick them up."

Said "outside", not "living room".

The meanings of the two words are very different. Different contexts have different meanings, sometimes they can be described as very different.

For example, for a standard hotel room, the bathroom is only separated from the sleeping place by a glass wall, and the outside of the bathroom can also be called "outside".

What Ning Zhi told was the truth, and he did not lie to deceive others.

However, Ji Anli didn't believe it, and felt that this was a trick, so he insisted: "Let her answer the phone."

Ning Zhi pretended to be stupid and said in a daze, "I can't pick it up, I don't have time."

Ji Anli said in a low voice, "Give her the phone and send it to the door."

"Oh..." Ning Zhi dragged his voice, pretending to follow suit, but changed his mind the next moment, and asked directly, "Why?"

Ji Anli didn't answer these words, it was still a matter of course.

"Give her the phone."

"You haven't said who you are yet," Ning Zhi said, not caring at all, no matter what the other person is at the moment, or whether he is not interested, his tone is still light, "There is no note from you here, who knows What on earth are you calling? Is it a harassment call? Who are you, tell me, I'll tell her and ask her if she wants to answer it, and only if she answers it. "

There was no sound on the phone. If it wasn't for the screen interface showing that the call was still in progress, it really seemed that the phone had hung up on its own initiative.

Ji Anli didn't respond, and Ning Zhi was not in a hurry, so he sat down on the sofa and said softly, "If it really doesn't work, you can call back later. If you are in a hurry, you can contact Secretary Zeng first for work problems. It's the same anyway. We're still abroad, and we can't help you now."

"..."

Ning Zhi: "What do you think?"

Ji Anli's temples were throbbing, but he still didn't answer.

"Oh, that's not right." Ning Zhi changed his words suddenly, "It seems that it's only past six in the morning in China, and you shouldn't be able to contact Secretary Zeng before it's time for work. But it's quite late here, and it will be early morning soon. The world is far away, and I guess I can't deal with it immediately, so I can't help you. How about this, you can try to contact Mr. Fan Chuyu and Fan. Maybe Fan is always free, and maybe he can help you. How about it, okay? ?”

Xiao Zai's acting skills are top-notch, and he fools around so well that he doesn't leak a single flaw.

Obviously, he is not like this to other people in the past, how can he be so talkative, and even disdain to have too much communication with Ji Anli when he was in Xinjiang, and now he is so enthusiastic.

How could Ji Anli fail to notice that this was a deliberate act, knowing that she was lying to herself blatantly, her face was ashen, and she remained silent.

Fortunately, Ji Anli didn't want to lose face and didn't want to lose his way at this time, so he could barely control all his sullenness and irrationality, and he was still able to maintain that little bit of decency and said: "I'm not looking for Mr. Find Mingshu."

"That's it," Ning Zhi lazily leaned on the sofa, "That's okay. If you're not in a hurry, call again tomorrow. It's getting late, and we all have to rest."

Ji Anli was not fooled, "Let Mingshu answer the phone."

Ning Zhi refused straight away: "No."

Ji Anli: "..."

Ning Zhi was very naive, pretending to be a gesture, half casual and half serious, said: "I don't want to."

This sentence was quite lethal, Ji Anli finally couldn't hold back anymore, and said, "Ning, Xiao, sister!"

Ning Zhi: "What to do?"

"This is a matter between me and her, please don't meddle in it." Ji Anli said straight to the point, and couldn't bear it anymore, pointing out someone's little thoughts directly.

Ning Zhi rubbed his ears nonchalantly, opened his mouth and blocked it: "I don't understand, what's the matter with you two?"

Ji Anli said: "Emotional issues."

"Is that so..." Ning Zhi replied, "I don't know, she hasn't said all of this."

Ji Anli: "Because it has nothing to do with you."

Ning Zhi said "ah", "I know, that's what you meant just now."

Ji Anli couldn't bear it anymore, and her tone became a little aggressive: "Please don't touch her things next time, and don't answer the phone randomly."

"No," Ning Zhi said, explaining kindly, "Mingshu asked me to pick it up, and I'm here to help."

The words were not speculative, and Ji Anli had nothing to say to him.

Ning Zhi added: "I really don't want to answer your call, it's boring."

Ji Anli is quite gracious, he doesn't quarrel on the phone, and doesn't make useless exchanges.She was about to hang up, and said calmly, "I'll call later, please give her the phone."

"Stop beating, she doesn't want to talk to you." Ning Zhi said, poking her heart hard, "Don't disturb people's peace in the middle of the night, and ruin her mood for a day."

Ji Anli didn't bother to argue, he was really provoked, and hung up the phone in the next second, not to mess with Ning Zhi and waste time.

It's rare to be calm now, not as confused as before.

Ning Zhi looked at the phone screen, wanting to take another look at the string of numbers, but the screen was locked with a password, and after the phone was hung up, it was not displayed, only the lock screen picture and the time on the screen.

Xiao Zai fiddled with the phone for a while, but finally put it on the table and left it alone.

The hot water in the bathroom was rushing, the voice of Ning Zhi's conversation was too low before, and the sound insulation effect of the room was good, Ming Shu didn't notice it, and didn't notice any movement.

Boss Ming is currently washing his back in front of the shower, his smooth and tender body is covered with foam and water, and his hair is also full of foam.After washing her back for a while, she turned around, raised her head up to wash her face, then turned her head to wipe the water and took a deep breath, her chest heaving heavily.

After washing inside, Ming Shu dried her hair and went out with a towel wrapped around her.

Ning Zhi didn't even look up, and was playing mobile games with great concentration.

Mingshu asked, "Who hit it?"

While operating the game interface, Ning Zhi said calmly: "I don't know, I didn't tell you my name when I asked, I just said I was looking for you."

"Male and female?" Ming Shu picked up the corner of the towel and wiped his arms, "Did you say what's the matter?"

Ning Zhi replied without blushing, "Girl, I didn't say what it was, it seems that I want to talk to you alone."

Ming Shu walked over, bent over, touched the phone to unlock the screen and looked at it, and found that the phone call lasted four and a half minutes, and was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Ning Zhi.

But Ming Shu still didn't ask the specifics, he hesitated for a moment and acted as if nothing happened, then put down the phone as if without knowing it.She patted Ning Zhi on the back, and said softly, "Stop beating this one, go take a shower, and go back tomorrow."

"Yes," Ning Zhi replied, "There are still a few minutes, it's almost here."

Ming Shu didn't talk too much, just reminded her, and then sat on the side to rest and tidy up.

The cub was obedient, and ended the game in just a few minutes, then went to wash up honestly, and finished everything within 10 minutes.

After the person entered, Ming Shu picked up the phone again and looked at it again. His gentle face gradually faded, and turned serious, with his brows slightly frowned.She looked at the string of unfamiliar numbers without doing anything else for a long time. She was caught in an inexplicable entanglement. After a while, she pressed and held for two seconds, and pulled the number into the blacklist with her backhand .

The attitude is firm, and no affection will be left behind.

Boss Ming is not an idiot. Although he doesn't know how Ning Zhi answered the call, and he doesn't want to ask more, he can still guess who the caller is, and he knows everything without calling back.

Those who really have something to do will definitely ask Ning Zhi to pass on the news, or simply contact Fan Chuyu who is still in China, instead of trying to find a new number to call her, the business trip boss far away in Paris.

No one else but the ex.

After blocking the number, Ming Shu sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, thought about it carefully, then clicked into WeChat and other social software one by one, and even deleted all the people on Ji Anli's side.

These people have only met Mingshu before, and they had dinner together before, but they have never had any more relationship with Mingshu or M&F studio. Some of them are relatives of Ji Anli, and some are friends of Ji Anli.

Ming Shu forgot to delete these, and only now remembered.

It's not an important role. If you delete it, delete it. There should be no more intersections in the future. Just try to clean it up, so that you don't need to see those boring dynamics in Moments in the future.

After doing this, Ming Shu suddenly felt a little relieved, and felt a little better.

Several days have passed since October [-]nd, and some people don't even rein in their horses, so why bother to show their belated affection on their mobile phones.

Love is a simple thing, but making it too complicated will make people feel tired, not to mention that it has been over for so long, and it will not benefit both parties if they continue to entangle, and the situation will be even more embarrassing.

In fact, Ming Shu had to be strong and have a lot of self-esteem since he was a child, otherwise he would not have come out without hesitation at the beginning, and would rather leave the family and go out to work hard in order to fight for it, but now he would not be willing to compromise.

They are all engaged, and if they rush to forgive, then they have no principles and no bottom line, and they will make mistakes on their own.

At this age, you have experienced ups and downs, and you have seen all kinds of people and things. Who can't live without you in the future?

Anyone can live without them, and they can live well.

Mingshu is doing well now, and the overall situation is much more relaxed than in the past year.

Thinking of this, Boss Ming trembled his eyelashes, and looked at the closed door not far away.

Not long after, Ning Zhi's wet hair came out, so he insisted on asking Ming Shu to wipe his hair.

Ming Shu took the dry towel and helped Ning Zhi without hesitation. After a while, he went in and used a hair dryer to help Ning Zhi blow it, so that he could have a rest later.

They still slept separately at night, but Ning Zhi stayed in the master bedroom for half an hour before leaving, followed up cheekily, and asked Mingshu to beat her back, and refused to leave without the massage.

Ming Shu had no choice but to do it reluctantly.

During this period, Ning Zhi was unruly and almost peeled off Ming Shu's bath towel.

The two turned on the bed and quarreled for a while, Ning Zhi hugged Ming Shu tightly, and then turned off the light with a snap.

Ming Shu snorted softly, "Ning Zhi..."

Xiao Zai was full of lies, "Don't move, don't do anything, really."

After all, there is still a limit, after all, there will be more than ten hours of flying tomorrow.

After parting, Ming Shushu covered himself with the quilt, and lightly kicked Ning Zhi.

Because of this trivial matter, the two of them almost failed to get up on time the next day.

Ming Shu is fine, no matter how sleepy or tired he is, he will get out of bed sleepily when the time comes.And Ning Zhi next door was far behind, sleeping soundly, unable to wake up even knocking on the door, finally Ming Shu opened the door and went in and pulled the quilt back to wake her up.

The luggage of the two of them hadn't been packed yet, so they had to prepare during the day.

It was Steven himself who sent them to the airport. He prepared small farewell gifts for them, and also brought a gift for Lao Cao and Fan Chuyu.

Steven had a good impression of Ning Zhi, and was a little bit emotional about leaving, and told Ning Zhi to come to Paris again when he was free.

After getting on the plane, Ming Shu asked Ning Zhi, "Why are you and Steven so close?"

Ning Zhi yawned and said, "I've been playing games with him recently."

Mingshu doesn't know about this, and usually doesn't play with it.

Ning Zhi fell back on his seat weakly, feeling too sleepy, and said, "His game skills are terrible, Mr. Fan and Brother Cao are not willing to take him into a team, so they can only ask me to join them."

I didn't sleep well last night, and the time on the plane is a good time to catch up on sleep.

Ning Zhi closed his eyes first, put on the blindfold and covered the blanket.Ming Shu also lay down to rest soon, taking advantage of this moment to relax.

The plane back to China is not a direct flight, but a transfer in S City halfway.

The flight departs at 11:30 p.m. local time, and arrives at City S at [-]:[-] p.m. Beijing time in China.The transfer was troublesome, and it took a long time in the middle. The last flight was around [-]:[-] pm, and it took more than three hours to arrive in Z City. It was already [-]:[-] at night when we got there.

Even if they just lie down and sleep after boarding the plane, they are still exhausted from the return trip, especially for Ming Shu, who was in a daze when he got off the plane.I don't know if it's because I haven't eaten much or I've slept for too long, but it's not very comfortable.

The driver picked them up at the airport in the middle of the night and drove them all the way back to Yulin Garden.

In the house on the 18th floor, Aunt Lin was still waiting for the two to arrive home. In the middle of the night, they had already made supper, and they could eat it as soon as they walked in.

Aunt Lin helped Mingshu pick up the luggage, and said to Ning Zhi: "Zhizhi, you should put the suitcase over there quickly, and come here as soon as you put it away. I boiled fresh shrimps here, boiled them in fish soup, and even baked a plate of them." The scallion pancakes just came out of the pan."

Ning Zhi said sweetly, "Thank you, Aunt Lin."

Aunt Lin waved her hand, "What's the hard work? I haven't done anything for a while, and I've been idle at home every day. Okay, hurry up, it'll be cold later, you hurry up and pack the suitcase and come here."

Ming Shu went in to change his shoes, went in tiredly to find a stool to sit on, and said to Aunt Lin: "Just put the things in the room, and I'll clean them up by myself tomorrow."

Aunt Lin didn't listen, "You rest, I'll put it away in a few moments. You eat a little first, and I'll come out to wash the dishes later."

There is nothing more comforting than to be greeted by a table of hot food upon entering the door.

The atmosphere in the house that night was very cozy, warm and caring.

Ning Zhi went back to the next room after eating, and soon lay down on the bed and fell asleep, as if asleep.

With Aunt Lin around, after Mingshu came back, she didn't have to worry about any chores. She only needed to rest for half a day to recover her blood. Aunt Lin did the rest, including calling others to report that they were safe, telling them that they had arrived home, and When do you go to the store.

Ms. Ming Yiru called at noon the next day to ask how Mingshu was doing.

At that time, Ming Shu had only woken up not long ago, perhaps because he had slept for too long, his head was heavy, and he seemed listless when answering the phone.

Ming Yiru and Xiao Heliang came here in the afternoon, carrying three thermos buckets and a stack of vegetable and lunch boxes to the door, and made a special trip to come over with the meals.

The family of three hasn't seen each other for a while, and the old couple rarely come here, so it's rare to visit once.

It's a pity that there is no one in the opposite house in the afternoon. Ning Zhi went to the old house in the south of the city. He went to visit Mrs. Ning the next day after returning to China. He planned to rest there for the night and bring Qiu over tomorrow.

Ming Shu originally planned to go back to the shop in the afternoon, so he could only stay here.

The family stayed together until evening, sitting in the drawing-room all afternoon and going downstairs for walks later in the day.

This business trip to Paris was not hard, but it took a long time, probably because she was not used to the foreign diet, Ming Shu still lost some weight, and her face also looked pale.Seeing Ming Shu like this, Ming Yiru muttered for a while, and said dissatisfiedly: "Next time there is such a thing that can be pushed, then push it down, or send your staff to do it, don't always do it yourself. Are you Boss, in charge of two big stores, there are so many things to do every day, don't waste too much time on unnecessary work, let yourself take a breather."

Ming Shu didn't make excuses, her mother should say "yes" to everything she said, so she just listened.She gave the old couple the gift she brought back, and Aunt Lin also had a copy.

The old couple and Aunt Lin were both happy. After all, it was the younger generation's kindness, and it was not easy to bring it back to China after all.

In the evening, Mingshu drove the old couple back, and when he came back, he dropped by Lao Cao's place to deliver the camera.

After leaving for ten days, everything here is still the same, whether it is friends or the store, everything is not much different from when I left.

When Qiu was picked up, Mao Tuanzi was so excited that he got off the car and ran excitedly to the elevator, went upstairs and continued to run to the house on the other side.

Ten days is a bit long for a dog, as if he hasn't seen him for half a year. After arriving in Yulin Garden in autumn, he is very happy to see everyone. Even when he meets Aunt Lin, he has to walk around the old man's house twice before wagging his tail. .It ran all over the house, beat Mingshu for a while, returned to Ning Zhi for a while, and wandered around the kitchen again, begging for food from Aunt Lin.

Ming Shu crouched on the ground and hugged the silly dog, rubbing its head.

Qiuqiu grinned happily, and threw herself on her with a swipe of the floor, obstinately didn't care about her body shape, and treated herself as a child.

Perhaps it was because the trip to Paris was too intimate. After returning to China, Ming Shu and Ning Zhi were a lot more reserved, at least not as before they left. During the three days after returning, they still worked and studied as usual during the day, and only We only met at mealtimes, stayed in the same room for half an hour to two hours, did nothing, and went back to our respective rooms when it was almost time.

Especially when they were in the store, the two of them were more serious, like an ordinary relationship between the boss and the subordinates, and neither of them strayed a step.

Ning Zhi used to send flowers, but now she can't even see a root of grass.

But this is not mutual indifference, it's just that the intimacy has reached a certain level, and it has gradually entered the buffer period in the middle.

Both parties need a certain amount of time to accept this situation before they can move to the next stage.

Xiao Jiang and the others were unaware of these changes, did not find anything different, and felt that it was still the same as before.

Fan Chuyu figured out something was wrong, but after thinking about it at first, she still didn't talk too much, she just accepted the gift they bought with peace of mind, told Mingshu that she had a dinner party to attend in two days, and ignored everything else.

As for Ji Anli's successful engagement, Fan Chuyu didn't know what to do, and never mentioned it again.

Not only Fan Chuyu, but even Lao Cao and the others tacitly refrained from talking about this, and would never find Mingshu to talk nonsense in front of him.

Ji Anli's engagement banquet was on the news, although it wasn't organized in a big way, but the news was still very sensational, and there was a lot of attention.

Lao Cao and Sister Ying have all heard about it, and everyone knows it.

No one would rush to Ji Anli to defend Mingshu with the second illness. Everyone handled it in the same way, low-key and tight-lipped. From then on, this person did not exist.

Of course, there were still people who cursed in private, feeling worthless for Mingshu, calling Ji Anli heartless, and calling those old things in the Ji family not human.

Lao Cao didn't dare to show the slightest bit in front of Ming Shu, but when he was with Fan Chuyu, he still couldn't help but make a bad mouthful, saying: "She Ji Anli lived more and more, and she was barely considered a thing before. Even if he dare not come out to the family, at least he still has some sense of responsibility, and now he is a proper rotten person, useless! Bah, what the hell, it's not because of that little money that his knees are kneeling in the mud!"

Fan Chuyu didn't swear, but agreed with some of Lao Cao's thoughts.

Today's Ji Anli is indeed irresponsible, he has lost his heart, and he no longer has the ambition he had in his early twenties.

Sad and sad.

Ji Anli, who was in his early twenties, would never do such a thing, and would never embark on the road of marrying a man.

At that time, Ji Anli was not this kind of person.

.

The client, Mingshu, reacted calmly and accepted it well, much calmer than Lao Cao.Don't swear at others, don't get angry, and don't even startle a little wave in your heart, just face this reality calmly.

Some people didn't know that she and Ji Anli were old lovers, so they didn't intend to mention this, and even showed her the photos on the news, smiling and enviously saying: "This handsome man is just at the right age to get married and start a family. The two Yemeni families are right, Isn't it a good match?"

Looking at the couple in the photo, the female is beautiful and the male is handsome, Ming Shu nodded and replied peacefully: "It is indeed a good match."
