Lord Grimth Returns - It seems like an old friend is coming

The soft and fragrant body was familiar, the white jade base was covered with a cloud-like powder, and the crimson color spread under the light, and it became crystal clear.And her every voice is like a babble floating above my soul, the inexplicably missing blankness in my life is suddenly filled, and there is no other thing in my eyes, only her amazingly beautiful eyebrows are left, like Chenghu Lake is full of stars.

Trembling, then uncontrollable stiffness and tension, I saw my sweat dripping on her undulating body, again and again, until I could no longer lift my arms and she could no longer lift her waist , her always calm and quiet eyes were filled with colorful fragility and moisture, she lay on her side on the bed, trembling quietly, her ears were as red as newborn buds, her plump jade-like body was falling into pieces, lonely. Enchanting, the flowers bloom one after another.

I hugged her and lay down, and with a slight pull, she fell into my arms. "Would you like to clean it?"

Thin sweat was all over her neck, and her breathing was still soft.After a while, he responded softly: "Yes."

"Shall I help you?" I wasn't sure she had the strength to wash herself.

She blinked her delicate eyebrows, and smiled after a moment. "Um."

He simply accompanied her to wash it again, and when he returned to bed, it was almost one o'clock in the morning.I curled up on the bed, staring blankly at the figure sitting in front of the dressing table, so delicate and desolate in the night.With a thought, I couldn't help stretching out a hand to trace in the air. "Suman."

"Ah."

"I'm going to Shanghai to attend an academic exchange meeting the day after tomorrow. Remember, I told you that."

She was slightly taken aback, and then looked over. The cap of the skin care lotion was held in her hand for a long while without turning it back.After a few seconds, he asked softly, "How many days?"

"By the way home, it will take about three days."

As soon as I finished speaking, her brows relaxed. "Um."

"I'm not here for a few days, no matter how busy you are, you have to remember to eat on time, you know?" I was a little worried. This woman is a natural workaholic, and she has been busy with the holiday resort recently, so she will skip a meal or two when she is busy. She doesn't take it seriously at all.

"Got it." She replied lazily, "Is the ticket already booked?"

"It's booked."

"Don't book for the return trip, it's rare to go home, spend a few more days with mom." Su Man said softly, walked to the bed and sat down. "Call me if you have anything to do when you go back, and tell me before you come back, and I'll pick you up."

I hugged her waist and looked up to watch her delicate jaw move. "I'll take care of the arrangements, don't worry about me. By the way, there is something I want to ask you, is something wrong with Miao Sa's father? Is it important?"

"It's not a big deal, don't worry."

"I heard that what was found at the customs," I asked hesitantly, "could it be smuggling?"

Suman stared slightly. "Sigui, don't inquire about this matter indiscriminately. Someone from above has already come to investigate. It doesn't matter if it's true or not. In short, everyone who can help will naturally help. It's just that if this kind of thing is made too obvious, it will be harmful. killed him."

"I understand." Hearing Suman say this, he felt less worried.When I was about to turn off the light, I turned around and glanced at her, only to see that she was holding the ointment that I casually threw on the bedside table and looking at her. I couldn't help being startled. "Ji Yuzhen gave it to me, and said it was good for reducing swelling."

"Hmm..." Suman was silent for a few seconds, then put the bottle back on the cabinet, and lay down.

After turning off the light, I also got into the quilt, recalling her suddenly condensed expression just now, and said again: "I didn't ask her to take me home, I got off the car when I reached the city, and took a taxi back by myself."

There was a slight silence, and I hugged her with some unease: "Suman?"

"It's nothing, it's late, go to bed quickly." She pressed her body up, and found a comfortable place in my arms, her warm breath gently pounced on the arm I held in front of her.

"Hmm..." Kissing her dark hair, I stopped talking and fell into a deep sleep.

Knowing that I was going to Shanghai for a meeting and that I would drop by home, even if my mother wanted to be cool, she couldn't help showing a little joy in her words, and confirmed the itinerary with me again and again, if I hadn't emphasized it again and again I'm already 26, and I have enough capacity to act. She can't wait to send my brother to Shanghai to wait for me immediately, accompany me to a meeting and then accompany me home.

Suman carefully booked the hotel for me in advance, and it was already dinner time after I checked in. After calling her to report that I was safe, I went directly to the second floor of the hotel for dinner.Eating alone has nothing to say, I ordered a mixed fried rice and lemon juice, and I was eating and drinking slowly, when the mobile phone in my pocket suddenly rang.Take it out and see, an unfamiliar number?But seeing that the number belongs to City S, I still picked it up after thinking about it. "Hello."

"It's me." The other end of the phone said crisply.

"who are you?"

"Jimo Sigui! You don't know who I am?"

"..." I dropped the spoon in embarrassment, "Miss Ji, do you have anything to do with me?" The voice will always be slightly different from usual after being processed by electric current. Of course, I know that Miss Ji with the small nose and small eyes Certainly would not accept such an explanation.

"This is my private phone number, please save it." Her tone softened a little.

"Oh."

"so boring."

"Ok?"

"Eating alone is so boring! Come and join me."

"……Um?"

"Jimo Sigui, are you deaf? I said, come and have dinner with me!"

Only then did I realize that I heard correctly, she really asked me to have dinner with her.Wait, I'm in Shanghai now!Is she there?

Zhang Dong, look west.Look left, look right.

"Don't turn around like a monkey, I'm right behind you." Ji Yuzhen chuckled suddenly, his proud voice was subtly transformed by the electric current, and it sounded more cordial than usual in his ears .

I turned around abruptly, and as expected, less than three meters behind me, by the window, a woman who looked too familiar was sitting with her head upright, staring at me with cold eyes.

"..." Forget it, I'm alone anyway, let's just be together.I picked up the half-eaten fried rice and approached her, and she gave her a disgusted look. "Throw away that crap of yours, I beg you."

"This is not a broken thing, this is my favorite fried rice." I quickly reached out to protect the plate. "I just want to eat this."

She glared at me, as if she wanted to say something but didn't say anything.After a while, the steak she ordered was delivered, so we ate one Chinese, one western, and she didn't drink enough by herself, so she raised her hand and insisted on adding another glass to me.

"I'll just drink lemon juice." I quickly refused.

So she looked at me sullenly, probably because I was disappointed twice in a row, and she felt unhappy.

I just remembered to ask her: "Miss Ji, why have you come to Shanghai?"

"Meet a partner." She said lightly. "When are we leaving?"

I didn't react. "What?"

"I asked you to stay for a few days!" She immediately glared at me.

"Oh... I'll leave after the meeting."

"Is that tomorrow? Or the day after tomorrow?"

Although I didn't understand why she cared so much about my return date, I still replied: "I can do it, see tomorrow's arrangement."

She didn't pay attention to me anymore, I thought about the matter of Yaya, and said actively: "Don't worry, I will visit Yaya after I go back."

I thought she came to me just to talk about dumb things, but I never thought that she hummed with disinterest and ignored me, and ate steak leisurely by myself.

She didn't speak, so I had no choice but to remain silent, and quickly finished the fried rice, but out of politeness, I waited until she finished eating before leaving.Go back to the room to watch TV, take a shower, wake up, and the next day will kick off with a bang.

The venue of the academic exchange meeting is not far from the hotel, and Suman's arrangements have always been scientific and considerate.After an exchange meeting, I really felt like a little monkey who entered the Grand View Garden. It turned out that this was an exchange between Chinese and British lawyers. I watched the seniors talk confidently and elegantly, and discussed international ad hoc arbitration and foreign-related legal services with the British lawyer delegation. After discussing various issues, the only thought in my mind was: It would be great if Miao Sa was here, she would definitely become the most shining existence in the crowd.

Lunch is a big hotel arranged at the venue, seafood buffet, each at his own discretion.I was looking around for something to eat with my plate, when a female voice suddenly sounded not far behind me.

"Manager Sun, you're too polite. I'm just an ordinary guest this time. You have to give this or that to an ordinary guest for a meal. How embarrassing."

"Manager Jian, look at what you said, how many times we have cooperated, this little meaning is just a little bit of my own heart." A man's voice sounded. "If I say it's a bribe, no one can believe it. Haha."

"Hey, Manager Sun, I'm really not greedy for wine, so let's save it for another day and drink with you guys."

The woman's voice sounded again, followed by the clear and rhythmic knocking of high heels, which actually got closer.The vegetable tongs in my hand fell into the tray, and the dripping soup suddenly surprised a man standing beside me.He frowned and looked at his sleeves, and said in a deep voice, "Be careful!"

"I'm sorry." I apologized in embarrassment, and wanted to turn around and leave, but I didn't watch out for a figure that was so familiar that I was suffocating, standing straight in front of me.Staring at each other in a daze, the light in their eyes froze quickly, but their heart was beating so fast that it gradually lost its rhythm—really...really Jian Yan!

"Sigui." It was completely impossible to calculate how long the time had passed, maybe a few minutes, maybe only a dozen seconds.Finally, she called me softly and smiled slightly. "Why are you here?"

After two years of absence, I owed her so much, and now I meet again suddenly, and her plain, familiar and tolerant "Thinking of Home" immediately made my eyes blush.

I muttered, but didn't know what to say.In the end, she was the same as before, seeing that I was silent, she said again: "Are you alone?"

I nodded, and when she saw the badge on my chest, she immediately understood. "Are you also here to participate in this exchange meeting?"

Why do you say "also", is she too?I was surprised, it's impossible, Jian Yan obviously didn't learn this line of work.

Probably because the doubts in my eyes were too deep, she almost guessed what I was thinking all at once. "It's not me, it's my boyfriend."

I was shocked and instantly relieved, Jian Yan is two years older than me, at 28, it is very normal to have a boyfriend, but does her indifference now mean that she has completely let go of our past entanglements?I can still be friends with her again, can't I?A caring, good friend without private thoughts, just like the first time.

"Jian Yan..." I finally opened my mouth, but when Jian Yan yelled out, I fell silent. I didn't know what to say to her, and what to say.

"Do you mind joining us? My seat is over there." She pointed to a place by the window on the left, and I looked along, and sure enough, I saw a man in his thirties sitting there, drinking Wine on the phone.

"Ah, no need." I quickly refused, "Why bother your date."

She smiled lightly, but didn't insist. "Then, make an appointment another day. I'll go first."

I watched her turn and leave, and suddenly stopped after two steps, opened her bag, took out a business card and handed it to me. "It has my phone number on it."

I wanted to say that I was leaving tomorrow, but I couldn't say it after all.I took the business card and squeezed out a smile. "good."

Jian Yan left, but I was no longer in the mood to eat.This world is really amazing, with such a large land, so many people, such a strange city, how much fate does it take for two people to meet again and again?Just for a moment, she appeared in front of me, just like any other time before, separated by less than half a meter, but to me, she seemed to be separated by thousands of mountains and thousands of waters, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t completely get rid of the memories of the past. out of it.

I am speechless.Yes, speechless, what an embarrassing word, and how cruel.Two people who were once so good met again, and I was speechless.I inadvertently looked up and saw her back, thin and straight, just like when I left back then, but I don't know if it was a telepathy or just a coincidence, she turned her head and looked at me, her eyes met, and even the air The middle is full of hesitation and embarrassment.

I hurriedly turned my face away.

So I was a little absent-minded all afternoon. Fortunately, a rookie like me didn't have much right to speak, but I just came here to learn more in the name of Miao Sa.Leaving the meeting place at four o'clock, I ran into Jian Yan's boyfriend on the side of the road—I have always been accurate in knowing people, and if I read them deliberately, I would hardly be wrong.The man was leaning against a black Audi car and talking on the phone. I had no intention of eavesdropping, but seeing the man suddenly hang up the phone, get into the car and drive away, I couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

About 1 minute later, a red Accord suddenly stopped not far in front of me, beeped the horn a few times and saw that I didn't respond, the owner had to lower the window, and the little girl covered by long chestnut brown hair The face came into view instantly.But it was Jian Yan.

She raised her face and smiled slightly. "Thinking back."

"You...why are you here?" I was shocked and suddenly realized, could it be that I came to find her boyfriend? "By the way, I saw your boyfriend just now, and I just left for a while."

"I'm looking for you." She gestured for me to get in the car with a sideways face, and then started the car.

"Where are you going?" I was stunned for a while, and then asked belatedly.

"Go get a cup of coffee." She glanced at me, then quickly looked away.

"Okay. By the way, I sent you my mobile phone number, did you receive it?"

There are too many large and small intersections in Shanghai, and the light turns red after a while after driving out.She braked the car slowly and smiled slightly. "received."

"By the way, are you working in Shanghai now?" I remembered what Manager Sun said at noon. Jian Yan is their cooperative client?

"Yeah, I just transferred from Suzhou last year. How about you? At home or?"

"I'm in City S."

What I said made Jian Yan silent for a while, and then she smiled faintly after a few seconds. "Um."

She didn't speak, and the atmosphere became cold again. I'm really not a person who is good at initiating topics, so I had to take out my phone and flip through it.The dumb mobile phone must have been confiscated by Ji Yuzhen, and there have been no more messages these days, but Ji Yuzhen and I have been in contact more and more.After thinking like this, I suddenly remembered that I haven't saved the number she called me last night.

I found that number in the call list, and the moment I pressed it with my finger, the phone rang suddenly. Before I could react, I pressed it by mistake and was connected directly.

"Hey?"

"it's me."

"...I know it's you, Miss Ji, can I do anything for you?" Although I haven't had time to save it, but there is no one else in this tone except her.

There was a pause for about three seconds. "I made a wrong call...how did you answer it so quickly!"

"...Uh, then I'll hang up." I was really sweating, this young lady is so talented.

After hanging up the phone, before he could recover, the phone suddenly sang again, and it was hers.

"Jimo Sigui, how dare you hang up on me?!"

"No, you said you called the wrong person, and I can only call you after I hang up." I was dumbfounded by her yelling.

"It's my fault that I made the wrong call, you shouldn't have hung up on me!"

"Miss Ji, you didn't call just to reprimand me for hanging up on your phone, did you?" I didn't bother to reason with her anymore, people always thought that being tall and having a loud voice was justified.

"How can I be so boring?" She snorted coldly, "Forget it, just make a mistake. Wait for me at the hotel before five o'clock."

"Isn't it easy to deal with this kind of thing?" I was about to leave and feel depressed.

"It doesn't matter, I always have to eat anyway." She didn't take it seriously, and hung up the phone after speaking.

Probably because my expression while holding the phone was too speechless, Jian Yan couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay, a friend I know wants me to go to the hotel to wait for her before five o'clock." After I finished speaking, I was a little startled. The ghost knows what kind of friends Ji Yuzhen and I are, but then I think about the day when I was in Su's old house. After all, she helped me when Yun started, and I felt a little more balanced in my heart. Forget it, let's pay her back the favor.

"Then I'll take you back, which hotel are you staying at?"

Jian Yan's words made me suddenly embarrassed, "It's okay, I promised to drink coffee with you, there is time."

She smiled slightly. "The hotel also has a coffee shop, the same."
