Summer of Fireflies

The odds are against the odds. Given my recent financial constraints, it seems that I cannot refuse this diplomatic activity.

On the day of the interview with the client, Malik took me to the VIP box of a certain famous hotel. Before that, I imagined countless times that the client who indicated that he wanted to see me might be an acquaintance I know, but no matter what She never thought that that person would be Bai Lan.

The man sat comfortably on the sofa with his legs crossed, his slender fingers supported his extremely clean chin, and his beautiful butterfly wing ring could be seen on his middle finger. When he saw me coming in, he squinted his eyes and raised his eyes. He waved at me with a lazy and seductive tone.

"Lisa, long time no see~" always cheerfully rising at the end.

In fact, just looking at Bailan's excessive hormone secretion appearance, coupled with his always rippling tone when he speaks, no matter how you look at it, he is a frivolous playboy image. ", Prynne is the most typical representative who lived up to this reputation, although he once argued with me that it was only caused by his parents' DNA rather than his own fault.

"Hello." I quickly adjusted my facial expressions as if I didn't know him.

When I saw Bai Lan just now, I had the idea of ​​rushing out the door for a moment, but my current identity finally pulled back my reason.

Bai Lan ignored me, and instead smiled and made his request to Malik: "Mr. Malik, surely he won't bother Lisa and I to catch up with our friends who haven't seen each other for many years, right?" He glanced at Bai Lan who was smiling, and then at me who pretended to be calm but his heart was already full of clouds. Before he left, his silent expression seemed to be deep in thought.

After Malik left the box, Bai Lan smiled brighter towards me, "Lisa, come here~" He waved to me with a smile, motioning for me to sit next to him.

...Call me over and I'll go over there, do you think I'm your puppy?I tried my best to resist the urge to slap Bai Lan, and finally chose to sit opposite Bai Lan.

Now that Bai Lan has already taken the initiative to find him, it's useless for me to avoid him no matter how hard I try, so I can only choose to face him calmly.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" I didn't believe that Bai Lan came to chat with me because he had nothing to do. Compared with the first time I saw Bai Lan, my attitude was obviously much calmer this time.

"Can't you find Lisa if you have nothing to do?" He propped his chin with his hands, blinking his beautiful purple eyes and staring at me. "It's too much, I haven't seen you for five years, Lisa, you are getting more and more indifferent to me~" The rippling ending sound brewed a little bit of grievance, as if I bullied him.

I black line, black line, black line again, I really want to slap the folder in my hand on his head, this person was born to suppress my existence.

"Last time at the wedding, Lisa left without saying hello to me. I haven't seen you for five years. Don't you really miss me, Lisa?" His eyes are bent, and his long eyelashes are slightly raised, "I miss you very much... Lisa~" He deliberately elongated the ending in a longing tone

Prynne saw me at the wedding last time—this was my first reaction.

The second reaction was: "Don't be kidding Bai Lan, it's really not suitable for you to reunite with an old lover." Almost half of what this person said was lies. How can I believe that he really missed me suddenly? You just came to chat with me?

"Lisa is too much, she's telling the truth~" Bai Lan squinted her eyes and looked at me, the deep eyes in her eyes meant nothing.

...will believe that you are a ghost!My heart trembled inexplicably.

"If you have nothing to do with me, I'll leave." I quickly stood up from the sofa, wishing I could stay away from Bai Lan immediately.

"The company's cooperation...is Lisa not going to take care of it?" Bai Lan's voice sounded behind me.

I walked towards the door without looking back, "You can talk to my boss about this kind of thing." I held the handle and opened the door. At this moment, my hands were covered by another pair of clean hands , I turned my head and looked at him puzzled, and my blood couldn't help but constrict when I saw Bai Lan's smiling face approaching Chi Chi.

Wanting to break free from his grip, his hands were gripped tighter and tighter. Men are naturally stronger than women, not to mention Bai Lan whose force value is far greater than ordinary people, so I wisely gave up struggling.

"Lisa, do you hate me so much? You hate me so much... you don't want to see me again." Bai Lan put one hand on the edge of the door, he lowered his head and looked down at me, complex emotions flashed in his eyes that I couldn't understand.

When I opened and closed my eyes, all I could smell was the sweet and greasy cotton candy smell on his body. I turned my head away from his eyes that were close to Chi Chi, and looked at Bai Lan. I was afraid that I would be involuntarily attracted by his deep eyes The purple eyes were sucked in, the mistakes I made before, but now I don't want to make them again.

Seeing that I turned away from looking at him, Bai Lan picked up a lock of long hair on my chest, took it to my mouth and sniffed it, and said with a smile, "Lisa seems to have become more beautiful~" The cheerful ending sounded again up.

"...Are you a pervert?" I couldn't help but twitched my brows, and sniffed my hair. Is this guy definitely Bai Lan and not someone pretending to be?

Bai Lan raised his slender eyelashes and smiled brightly at me, "How's Lisa doing in the past five years?" He calmly talked to me about homework.

After only thinking for a second, I honestly replied: "If I hadn't seen you again, I think I would have a better life than I am now."

"... Lisa is so unfeeling, you broke my heart~" He puffed up his cheeks.

"You are the one who goes too far, Bai Lan!" Appeared in front of me inexplicably, if Bai Lan would be sad, this world should be extinct. "Also... men and women are different, please don't get so close to me." I turned my head helplessly and pushed away the silver head he was rubbing against. After so many years, this guy's coquettish behavior is still so childish.

"Lisa, do you really not love me?" He leaned his forehead against mine, sprayed all his warm breath on my face, I stared at his slender eyelashes and blinked Blinking, stunned, I lowered my head and didn't want to look into his eyes again, "Yes, I don't love you anymore." I heard my own voice answer in a low tone.

——You used to rely on me to like you, but fortunately, I don't love you anymore.

After five years, I finally spoke the truth to him. After I finished speaking, my heart that should have been happy was as heavy as lead.

The hand stroking my hair paused for a moment, and after a while I heard Bai Lan's deep and melodious voice: "Don't you love me..."

I couldn't understand the abnormally profound expression that the other party stared at me with open eyes, and I couldn't understand his deep mind at the moment. After the atmosphere of silence, I finally couldn't help but say to him: "Enough is enough, Bai Lan, you bastard , if you don't let me go, be careful and I will sue you for sexual harassment!"

"Pfft." Bai Lan's suppressed smile suddenly bloomed like a rose, and her broad and steady shoulders shook with laughter. The speed of this person's face and mood changes is as fast as turning the pages of a book, so I can't cope with this kind of thing the most. people.

"It's over for reminiscing about the old days. It's okay. I should go. We won't see each other again." Taking advantage of Bai Lan's restraint on me, I quickly opened the door and fled.

If I stay with Bai Lan any longer, I'm worried that my heart won't be able to bear it.So, when I stepped out of the threshold, I sincerely hoped that we could never see each other again.

"Lisa's mother, are you going to talk to me, An'an?"

The teasing voice behind the door made me stop, and I gritted my teeth and turned to look at someone with a rippling smile. Very well, he managed to keep my footsteps.

Facing Bai Lan's bright smiling face, I gritted my teeth and then gnashed my teeth again, wishing I could tear his rippling smiling face apart.

"Okay, remember that it's best not to touch the water these days." Laila wrapped the last round of gauze around me very skillfully.

"That..." I looked at Laila anxiously, and then at Senior Luo Hua who was sitting beside him with a serious face but said nothing. I didn't know what to say to Laila, but in fact, Laila had persuaded her a long time ago. I quit her part-time job, but because the salary of the job in the bar is higher than other part-time jobs, and I also hate the proprietress, so I have never been willing to quit this job.

"Lisa, you don't need to say anything." Laila put the medicinal wine into the medicine box, got up and walked into the checkout area at the counter. "This is your salary for the past few months, Lisa, you can come to see me in the future, but it's best not to come and work at my bar." She handed the money into my hand as if she had made some cruel decisions, He turned around and handed me my backpack again.

I turned pale when I heard it, "Laila." I called her sadly in my heart, but Laila walked away without looking back, leaving me with a firm and sad back. "It's so late, it's best not to go home alone." She suddenly stopped and turned her face to the side. Afterwards, the sound of high-heeled footsteps became farther and farther away. I can't say a word in my throat. I know that Laila is doing this for my own good, but my heart still feels very sad. It's not because of the little salary, but because of the happy time I worked with Laila. .

"I will come to see you again!" Before Laila's back was about to disappear in the corridor, I suddenly shouted with all my strength, and Laila's footsteps stopped again, she turned her face and nodded, that she heard me
