Splendid in bag

Lewis mustered up his energy by cursing his brother, and walked forward again.As he got closer, the outline of a building gradually appeared in the misty snow.This house is beautiful, with a pointed red roof like a fairy tale book, equipped with thick and round chimneys, a garden in front of the door, and guards standing upright.

What Lewis saw was the vacation home owned by Chillid Audister.The guard outside the holiday house saw Lewis and asked him formally in English with a local accent: "Did you just abuse Mr. Liu Xiusi in several languages?"

"Ah...?" Lewis was stunned for a moment: Did he hear that?

Compared to being heard cursing, Lewis was more concerned about the guard's words implying that the guard knew Liu Xiusi.In that case, Liu Xiusi is likely to be in this room.

There is really nowhere to find...

"So, is Mr. Lewis here?" Lewis asked.

Before the guard could answer, a slender figure flashed out from the door: "Are you calling me?"

Lewis fixed his eyes on the line and stared at the other party in a daze: "It's you..."

It's Liu Xius...

The momentum Lewis had just shouted to the sky was like a candle being blown out by the wind, with only a fleeting trace of smoke emitting. "Ah..." Lewis was stunned, "Brother?"

Will he hear what I just said?

——Lewis suddenly felt guilty.

The snow was still falling, and it was white all around.

The holiday house stands alone in the middle of the snow.The house is as warm as spring.Contrary to everyone's imagination, the private vacation home of the rich man Chilled is not magnificent or magnificent, but rather simple, with brick-red walls, brown floors, and warm and simple tones.Lewis and Liu Xius both sat on the tea-brown fabric sofa, while Chillard sat opposite them.

Lewis looked at Chillide—this rich man is about fifty years old, but he looks much younger than his actual age, like he is in his early 40s, or because his skin is in good condition, his eyes are bright, and his eyes are bright. There is still the quick and active energy of youth.Probably because of his Russian origin, Chilid is very tall, with a natural rosy luster on his cheeks.

"Young man, how did you come here?" Chillard asked, "This is my private place! You are trespassing!"

"Really? I'm so sorry! I really don't know!" Lewis pretended to be stupid, "I got lost..."

Chi Lide said, "But this area should be fenced off, so you won't be able to walk in if you get lost..."

"I did see a fence, but I didn't see the notice stating that this is a private property, so I just stepped in... I'm sorry to say, the fence is too short... I didn't expect it at all..." Lewis touched Touching his nose, he said innocently.

It has to be said that Lewis has an elegant temperament and a handsome appearance, and it really seems that way to pretend to be stupid and innocent.

Chi Lide also thought that the fence was very childish, but in fact he didn't care, after all, the fence and guards outside the holiday house were still very reliable.

"Okay, since you are Liu Xiusi's brother, then I will not pursue it!" Chi Lide said, "The weather is not good now, if you are not in a hurry, why not just stay here for one night!"

"Ah, it's so intrusive." Lewis nodded.

"It doesn't matter, Liu Xiusi's brother is my friend!" Chi Lide smiled heartily.

"Thank you very much." Lewis said with a smile, took out his mobile phone again, saw that the signal was only one bar, and frowned, "Can I make a call here? I want to inform my traveling companion and tell him that I am here. Lest he worry."

Chi Lide nodded and said, "No problem, you can go upstairs and make wired calls."

Lewis said "Excuse me", went to the corner of the second floor alone, and called Yang Olive to inform Yang Olive of his whereabouts.

Knowing that Lewis had found Chillide and Liu Xiusi, Yang Olive breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Have you finally found your brother? That's great! Then you can talk to your brother, no need Leave me alone."

Lewis hung up the phone, turned around and walked in the corridor covered with red carpet. At the end of the corridor stood Liu Xiusi.Liu Xiusi looked at Lewis, smiled and said, "Did you finish the phone call with your friend?"

"Yes, just finished calling. Oh, it's really frustrating that the mobile phone can't go out. The signal here is too bad." Lewis complained.

"Yes." Liu Xiusi said, "This is not good for the development of the tourism industry. Chillide and I are discussing how to improve this situation."

Lewis thought for a while, then asked again: "Is it because the signal is not good, so you haven't received my call?"

Hughes didn't speak.

Lewis found himself an embarrassing question.If Hughes didn't answer the phone because of poor signal, then Hughes would at least reply to the message.There has been no news these days, obviously Liu Xiusi did it on purpose.The most decent way for Lewis to respond is not to ask him, and everyone will not be embarrassed.But Lewis suddenly didn't want to be so decent. He asked this question and wanted to hear how Liu Xius would answer.

Hughes didn't speak, and was silent for nearly a minute.Lewis didn't speak either, and looked at Liu Xius very patiently, waiting for his answer.

Lewis' attitude surprised Liu Xiusi too.

Lewis has never liked to embarrass the other party, and he rarely asks sharp questions.When an awkward silence occurs, Lewis will definitely break the silence as soon as possible and say nice words to ease the atmosphere-but now, Lewis has not done so.

Lewis stood there smiling, looking quite gracious, but said nothing.

Hughes sighed slightly and said, "What do you want from me?"

"Are you planning to sell the shares to others? Are you planning to develop in Eastern Europe? Have you decided to leave early in the morning?" Lewis asked questions one after another, and walked in a straight line. No detours.

It's really not like Lewis.

But these questions have been lurking in Lewis's heart for too long, like a knife buried under the pillow, keeping Lewis awake at night.

He insisted on asking, he insisted on getting an answer.

Liu Xiusi said lightly: "Has the board of directors not taken any action yet?"

"You know they're going to do something, but you're sitting around?" Lewis said.

"If I don't do anything, it's really just waiting to die." Liu Xiusi said, "But for you, it's just the opposite. From your perspective, doing nothing is the best."

Lewis was a little surprised, and somehow the topic turned back to himself.

"The life you have now is beyond the envy of others. For you, the best way is to stay where you are and enjoy your happiness. I also hope that you will be at ease and happy." Hughes said lightly, and pointed Stairs, "The room is upstairs."

Lewis followed Liu Xius up the stairs, and saw a door on the left, and a corridor with crystal lights on the right, leading to the bedroom.

The crystal light reflected the red carpet with a blurred light, which reminded Lewis of the profile of Liu Xiusi in the bar that year——Lewis suddenly asked: "You said back then that you didn't know why you liked whiskey... "

"Me? Really?" Liu Xiusi didn't seem to remember much.

"Yes, you said that," Lewis said.

At that time, when Lewis first came into contact with whiskey, he behaved like a young boy who had just learned to smoke, swallowing it bravely, coughing and crying.He couldn't appreciate the complex taste of Scotch whiskey and asked Liu Xiusi why he liked it.Liu Xiusi only said that he didn't know.At that time, Lewis felt that this was a perfunctory answer, like a perfunctory excuse given by adults who are tired of children's endless questions-"I don't know" is equal to "Don't ask, please be quiet."

Now, Lewis repeats the old saying, or hopes to get a real answer.

Liu Xiusi thought about it seriously and said, "I really don't know."

"Really don't know?" Lewis was surprised.

"Is this strange?" Liu Xiusi asked with a smile.

"A little bit." Lewis shrugged and said jokingly, "Is there something you don't know?"

"Of course!" Liu Xiusi replied with a smile, "I've always felt that if you know why you like it, it's not a real like."

This sentence was like a tongue twister, which made Lewis confused for a while.

Hughes turned his back, walked deep into the corridor, and said, "Have a good rest, good night."

Lewis looked at Liu Xiusi's back gradually going away, feeling lost.He didn't follow Hughes to the corridor, but opened the door on the left, and the cold wind immediately swept in.It turned out that the door led to the terrace.Lewis saw the fine snow and the bright moon outside the door, so he couldn't help but walked to the cold terrace and looked up at the night alone.

The cold breath invaded Lewis' whole body, and he trembled unconsciously.

But his mind didn't pay attention to the temperature of his body at all, he only thought to himself: Is my brother really not getting close to me anymore?Is he really determined to leave?

The thought frightened Lewis more than wind or snow.

"Why don't you go back to rest?" At some point, Liu Xiusi also came to the terrace.He stood behind Lewis.

"I... because... I..." Lewis stammered, looking at Hughes, his heart was full of sadness.As if it was too cold on the terrace, Lewis' voice was a little trembling: "You...you promise me..." Lewis didn't know what he wanted to say, and endless words came out of his mouth.Liu Xiusi didn't quite understand what Lewis wanted to say, but he could see that Lewis seemed very restless, so he said reassuringly, "Okay, I promise you."

After hearing Liu Xiusi's words, Lewis' mood calmed down.After thinking about it calmly, he felt that Hughes was clearly trying to explain himself off again, so Lewis said dissatisfiedly, "You didn't even know what I said, so you agreed?"

"Yes, I promise you whatever you say." Liu Xiusi smiled, took off his coat and covered Lewis's trembling shoulders, "Go back to the house, it's cold outside."
