The ears, which I thought would fade away soon, were still glowing red all the way to Chaoci's house, so hot that Lu Jin always wanted to knead them again.

But thinking of Chaoci's soft words, the restless hand that Lu Jin wanted to raise several times was pushed down by herself again.

This community is not close to the city center, and seeing the faintly visible mountain ridges in the distance, she knew that this area belonged to the suburbs.

Chao Ci was not such a fast driver, she didn't even change the aisle during the whole hour and a half drive, and there was no possibility of scratches during the whole journey, and Lu Jin arrived at the destination without even feeling obvious bumps.

This community is full of stacked buildings and Western-style buildings, very quiet.

I thought Chaoci's house would be in a relatively hidden place in the community, but she drove up a winding mountain road and drove for nearly two kilometers before stopping at a single-family villa on the top of the mountain.

From the courtyard of Chaoci, you can overlook the entire community and the dim lights of the city center in the distance.

Lu Jin just glanced out through the car window, and was fascinated by the oppressive and hidden beauty of this place.

The night view here is beautiful, but the owner of the villa keeps an indifferent distance from the view, as if he is just a passer-by, only responsible for admiring it, and has no interest in blending in.

"Miss Lu, we're here." Chao Ci parked the car in a three-way garage by the courtyard, signaling Lu Jin to get out of the car.

Even though there is a single house here, Lu Jin has been in the entertainment circle for these years, and has been photographed many times by public and hidden cameras. He has suffered a lot and has become more cautious. Observe your surroundings.

Compared to Lu Jin's cautiousness, Chao Ci seemed very at ease about the security and privacy of his home, and directly pushed open the car door.

But no matter how private the occasion is, there are still countless secrets captured by candid photos.Not to mention that Chaoci's house is only on the top of the mountain, even if it is located on a skyscraper, it will still be captured by those malicious cameras and have a clear view.

Lu Jin pulled the seat belt on his chest with both hands, tilted his head, and asked worriedly: "Am I really going to stay at your place tonight? In case I'm caught...Miss Chao should understand that there will be What kind of consequences."

Chaoci stood outside the car, seeing that Lu Jin might not come out so soon after he was about to speak, so he closed the car door and unlocked it, so that not only could he hear Lu Jin's voice, but also the cold air outside the car could not get in.

After listening to Lu Jin's question, Chaoci put on his thin coat, looked back in the cold winter night, his eyes still had a touch of light red, his slightly parted red maple lips, and said very firmly:

"Will not be photographed."

Probably because these short five words were too sure, and Chaoci helped Lu Jin solve the troubles twice and solved them too quickly, which gave Lu Jin a sense of security in his subconscious, even though she knew that Chaoci appeared In the Guigong clubhouse, she had some contact with Mr. Jin, but now that she was safe and sound, she didn't want to waste Chaoci's kindness, and without any further hesitation, she quickly got out of the car with Chaoci.

Too……

When Lu Jin followed Chaoci to the gate, he remembered something.

Although I don't know how to do it, Chaoci has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, and has never had any scandals, not even pornography.

As for why "almost" is said, that's because the only thing that can be called the best is the "difference" with Lu Jin himself.

Speaking of which, Lu Jin remembered that incident again—the night of the Monument Award ceremony, in a public place with thousands of people, the intimate contact between the two seemed to have evaporated from the world.

It seemed that no one saw it except the two of them.

This is also what Chaoci did

In the night sky where the clouds were blown away by the cold wind, the full moon became clearer.

Chao Ci opened the courtyard door and stood silently by the door, waiting for the guests to enter first.

This is her usual polite style in front of people.

It's just that when she walked into the retro towering iron gate, the sharp metal friction sound made her hair stand on end.

Chaoci's polite behavior was appropriately tainted with a layer of treachery that invited you into the urn.

The single-family villa in front of him was covered by unreal vegetation under the moonlight, and the thick shadows overlapped in the dark. The cold gray walls did not have any design and shape, which was not interesting at all.Standing in the yard, Lu Jin could vaguely see some faint and mysterious light coming through the narrow second-floor windows.

Lu Jin, who was outdoors in the middle of winter, was taken care of by his special physique. He still didn't feel the cold, but broke out in a layer of cold sweat because of the abnormal environment.

"Miss Lu." As if aware of Lu Jin's hesitation, Chao Ci walked past her and opened the door on the first floor, "Please rest assured, I am safe here, and there is no one else. You sleep upstairs tonight, we We won't meet."

Lu Jin, who was seen through his timidity, immediately strode forward, brushed past Chaoci, and walked into the house.

The stubborn side face flashed past Chaoci's eyes, which aroused her faint and unconscious smile.

When closing the door, Chaoci took out his mobile phone and called Xiaosu.

At this time, Xiao Su had already finished his work and came back, but seeing Chaoci actually brought Lu Jin home, this was the first time in history.

For so many years, besides Yan Yan, Lu Jin is the first guest of this house.

Xiao Su was not sure what his master was thinking, so he didn't dare to appear rashly, so he sat on a tree in the yard, held his breath, and waited for the master to speak.

The phone in his pocket finally vibrated, and Xiao Su answered it in a second:

"Master, I have already sent that assistant surnamed Dong home. After helping him detoxify him, he has passed out and is fine."

"Thank you for your hard work, Xiaosu." Chao Ci said, "Come back early and rest."

"Hmm..." Xiao Su looked at Chaoci's back in the distance, thought for a while, and said, "Earlier, Boss Fu said that what you wanted has arrived, and I haven't had time to get it. I'll go now, maybe it won't be so early return."

"Okay." Chaoci entered the room, "I'm sorry to trouble you, Xiaosu."

"Should be."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Su touched the wooden box in his wide pocket that he had brought back from Boss Fu, leaned firmly on the tree trunk, and planned to deal with it right here. .

It is completely consistent with the style of the facade of the house, and the main tone of the house is also gray. All the decorations are simple and cold, and there is no ambient lighting, only some ambient lights scattered in every corner.

Simple to simple, quiet to silent, it reminds Lu Jin of the "wabi-sabi" style that is very popular recently.

This is very different from the kindness and gentleness that Chao Ci has always shown.

Chaoci's heel hit the ground, and the slow and loud sound echoed in Xiao Ran's space.

Lu Jin stood in the middle of the living room, behind the set of black sofas without backrests that looked uncomfortable at all, and was attracted by the huge oil painting on the wall.

This huge painting is hung behind the porch, the most eye-catching place when entering the living room.Lu Jin saw it the first time he came in—I'm afraid no guest could ignore it after entering the house, it was obvious that the owner did it deliberately.

Maybe it's because of the large size, or maybe it's because the beautiful face of Chaoci in the painting is as restrained as the deep sea, but also has a breathtaking persistence, as if to use a pair of eyes to firmly hold the person staring at her. locked in her eyes.

This unique atmosphere imbues the painting with an indescribable divinity.

The person in the painting is Chaoci, there is no doubt about it.

But it's not like her - Lu Jin pondered.

Different from the politeness shown in front of people in the past, the court speech in this painting bursts with indescribable, scorching and real enthusiasm.

All of this may be given to the painter.

Does Chaoci have special feelings for the person who painted this painting?

Chaoci found that Lu Jin was standing still in place, looking fascinated.

The light fell into Lu Jin's focused black eyes, like two clusters of bright flames, igniting the face reflected in the pupils.

Lu Jin's breath quickly occupied the entire space, and Chaoci inevitably accelerated his breathing again.

She settled down with a wavering mind, forced herself to leave Lu Jin's side, and walked to the stairs leading to the second floor, interrupting Lu Jin's interest in concentrating on admiring.

"The south bedroom on the second floor is very clean and quiet. You can sleep there tonight. The toiletries and pajamas are new and should fit well."

"Hmm..." Lu Jin came back to his senses, and replied in a low voice with some sense of loss, "Okay, thank you."

It was a little strange for Lu Jin to hear Chao Ci's emphasis on "very quiet".

She doesn't sleep very well, and she really needs a very quiet environment to ensure that she can fall asleep smoothly.Why did Chaoci know...

When Lu Jin was slowly walking up the spacious stairs, Wang Chaoci opened the door of the room on the first floor, walked in, and closed it gently.

Chao Ci was clearly a cold host, and after explaining everything, he simply left, letting the guest go to the guest room by himself, not even interested in leading the way.

"Can you stop thinking about it?"

Lu Jin rubbed his somewhat stuffy heart.

After all, liking a quiet sleeping environment should be the needs of most people. How could it be that Chaoci took special care of her? Lu Jin followed Chaoci's instructions and walked to the south bedroom on the second floor.

The road was very dark, like walking in a cave, but the retro wall lamp followed all the way, making it impossible for Lu Jin to fall in the dark.

Incompatible with all these coldness and concealment, she actually smelled the clear fragrance of flowers.

Looking carefully, she found a small flower stand nailed to the wall of the entire corridor and next to the wall lamp, and flowers of different colors were carefully matched inside.

Pushing open the door of the bedroom, the floor lamp here has been turned on, the heavy curtains have been pulled up, and several pots of pink ranunculus are placed on the table, the petals are like silk, fragile and beautiful.

Lu Jin fell in love with these potted flowers almost at the first sight, and sniffed them lightly, the fragrance of the flowers was also the tranquility that made her fall in love in a second.

This bedroom is still not bright, but every detail exudes warmth and comfort.

In the bathroom separated by a glass door, the bathtub was filled with water.

Lu Jin took a look inside, and saw that pajamas and all kinds of toiletries were fully prepared, completely providing the services of a five-star hotel.

Different from modern hotels, there are neatly placed and well-cared old objects everywhere in the house.

An old-fashioned watch that is sealed in a leather box and covered with a glass surface; a writing brush that has obviously been used countless times on a pen mountain; a ring that is still bright and proud after a long time; The whole body bronze mirror...

All are antiques that can make people feel peaceful and have a heavy sense of story.

Lu Jin was attracted by these old objects with traces of time, and slowly walked to the bronze mirror.

This bronze mirror is different from the modern glass plane mirror, and it is a bit blurry when it shines on people.Lu Jin took a look in the mirror, probably because of some unevenness, her facial features underwent subtle changes, making her look like a stranger.

Lu Jin's heart skipped a few beats, and he immediately looked away.Thinking of Zhang Wen who always appeared behind her in Gui Palace today, her heartbeat became more and more rampant, she silently recited the Great Compassion Mantra, and quickly threw herself into the bathtub.

Lu Jin inevitably thought of a question when he was immersed in the hot tub.

There is indeed no other person in such a big house. When I walked up from the downstairs, I didn't see the housekeeper or helper at all. So who did all these thoughtful preparations? I am together.

Or... Chaoci had long thought that he would take me home today, so he made preparations in advance. Thinking of this, Lu Jin hugged his knees unnaturally.

But it was unreasonable, the temperature of this tank of hot water was obviously just placed, and in this weather, even if the heating in the house was sufficient, it would cool down very quickly.

Probably the servants left early when they knew there were guests coming, or Chaoci’s home is all smart home, which can be operated with a mobile app. The strange things encountered in Gui Palace, mixed with a series of recent strange things rushed into Lu Jin’s mind In the middle of the night, she couldn't help getting goosebumps on her back after being soaked in hot water.

Don't think about it, don't think about it.

Lu Jin squeezed his soft little face hard.

There is no strange power or chaos in this world, it must be caused by people.

In order to suppress the fear, Lu Jin took the smartphone, a representative product of modern technology, and turned on the sound, even the sound of the keyboard, and leaned against the bathtub to check the news.

Because of her work relationship, her WeChat has been in a state of explosive news all year round.

She glanced at it roughly, skimmed over some irrelevant news, and clicked on the top chat with her sister.

Of course, Lu Mian didn't know how thrilling her sister's life was today, so she took a photo of her peaceful dinner two hours ago.

Green Pepper Beef Rice Bowl.

[The dinner I made by myself is delicious.I will send it to you first, and I will let you taste my craft when you come back on the weekend. 】

Lu Jin looked at the picture, smiled, and said earnestly: [You can't just eat meat, you should eat more green leafy vegetables. 】

After replying to my sister, she will reply with work-related information one by one.

In the process of checking the information, Lu Jin noticed a very strange thing - Chu Yun did not send her a WeChat message.She didn't mention the result of her visit to see her colleague who hurt her, and didn't even ask about the result of Lu Jin's audition.

It's like avoiding something, which is abnormal.

Lu Jin held the mobile phone in his hand, thinking about the ins and outs of being in Gui Palace today.

Thinking of all the details before Chu Yun left, Lu Jin had a general direction in his mind.

Maybe it was because the temperature in the bathtub was too comfortable, or maybe she was really too tired, and she fell asleep in the bathtub after thinking about it with her body sore.

Plop, the phone slid into the bathtub.

There was a figure in front of the glass door of the bathroom. After hesitating for a while, he sighed softly and pushed the door open.

Chao Ci, who had just taken a shower, was wearing a light nightgown, and her steamy long hair was a bit unruly and messy. Her slender eyes should be sharp and cold, but she stared at the little girl lying in the bathtub and huddled into a small ball. In Lu Jin, there is only soft helplessness left.

The author has something to say: Chao Ci: Today, I... I come in (〃▽〃)
