Splendid in bag

Liu Xiusi's fingers nimbly moved Lewis' wet hair.

Lewis felt that the fingers were not only plucking his hair, but also his heartstrings.With the press of a fingertip, his heart can be made to go fast or slow.In his heart, it was as if a stream had been washed away by a torrential rain, the still water turned into a torrent, and the rocks were shattered like snow and frost.

Until his hair dried and Lewis returned to the bed in his bedroom, he could still feel the strength of Liu Xius' fingertips.

Lewis realized that even the slightest touch by Liu Xius made his heart flutter, and he was also extremely disturbed.

This is unprecedented for Lewis.It wasn't the first time he had taken an interest in a man, but this time it felt very different.Whoever he liked in the past, he would pursue and want to touch.But this time it's different... This time, he's...afraid of touching...but likes touching.

Like water meeting fire, incompatible but equally intense emotions collided in his chest.

Is it...

Is this true love?

Lewis blinked, looking at the scattered Xifu crabapples by the window, unable to sleep for a long time.

The next day, he had to show up in the morning restaurant with panda eyes on his face.

Seeing the listless Lewis, Liu Xiusi asked with concern: "What's wrong? Didn't sleep well last night?"

Not just last night?

I haven't slept well for days.

Lewis can also be regarded as a "natural beauty". He couldn't sleep well for so long, and it was only today that he showed a little bit of appearance.

However, Lewis, who is "naturally beautiful", does not disappoint himself. He is also a delicate gay guy, so he cares about his appearance very much.After Liu Xius said this, Lewis also became a little concerned, touched his face and said, "Do I look bad?"

"No, no." Liu Xiusi shook his head and smiled, "I just see that you are not energetic."

Lewis laughed dryly and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I've been busy with the perfume company recently."

Liu Xiusi said, "It can be seen that you have put a lot of thought into this time."

"What do you mean?" Lewis asked, "Didn't I pay much attention before?"

Liu Xiusi also smiled, and replied: "It seems that my words are inappropriate. I misunderstood you. What I mean is that you have worked hard, and I believe it will pay off."

"I hope so," Lewis said jokingly, "this time I can't afford it."

Liu Xiusi chuckled and said, "What's wrong with you? Don't put too much pressure on me."

Everyone is joking when they say "I can't afford it".

From an economic point of view, Lewis certainly cannot afford to lose.What he spent was the investor's money, the "Hanying" investment group that is now leading the investment.After "Hanying" took the shot, many other angel investors also participated one after another.In addition, he just got a huge sum of money from the bank, so the financial situation is very good.

Even if it loses, it's still a loss of investors' money.

Liu Xiusi pointed out rather cruelly: "Only those who have no money start a business and lose their own money."

The richer people are, the less they spend their own money.They ask investors for money, and they also ask banks to borrow money, and they don't take a penny out of their own pockets anyway.

But the "can't afford to lose" that Lewis said was his own psychological "can't afford to lose".

The name of the new perfume brand has also been decided, called "Osmanthus".

Lewis originally thought that the name "Osmanthus osmanthus" would make Yancha a little unhappy.Maybe Yancha also wants to add her own name.Unexpectedly, Yancha had no objection to this, and congratulated Shao Dangui, saying: "You finally have your own designer brand!"

Shao Dangui hurriedly said with some shame: "No, this is our shared brand..."

Lewis said, "You are the soul of our company."

The initial stage of starting a company was quite difficult, and Lewis has been busy with the affairs of the "Osmanthus" company recently. On the one hand, it is to do this well, and on the other hand, it is also to make himself less cranky.

On the contrary, Shao Dangui saw that Lewis was disturbed, so he took advantage of the break between the two of them having lunch alone to persuade him: "You have to think clearly about what you want to do."

When Lewis and Shao Dangui were together, he was naturally thinking about the company, so he said without hesitation: "Of course I know, I have already decided to cooperate with AC's factory..."

"Oh," Shao Dangui shook his head and said, "That's not what I'm talking about." As he spoke, Shao Dangui took a fork, inserted a piece of yellow-green avocado, and stuffed it into his mouth, with an ambiguous smile on his face.

Lewis understood what Shao Dangui was talking about, so he shook his head and said, "During work, don't talk about personal relationships!"

Shao Dangui smiled and said: "Personal feelings will always affect people! I don't think you need to avoid it. If you meet someone you like, you should go for it."

When Lewis heard the word "up", he also found it funny: "Just go up when you say it?"

"Of course." Shao Dangui beamed with joy, "Fuck you!"

Lewis smiled helplessly.

Can't afford it!

Shao Dangui picked up the salad on the plate, as if he was not very satisfied with the food here.In fact, Lewis also felt that the standard of this restaurant was average.However, they were discussing business nearby, and they were hungry at noon, so they randomly chose a clean and exquisite cafeteria to deal with.

After entering, Shao Dangui felt a little regretful, thinking that the meat on the buffet plate seemed to be deep-fried, which was not healthy.She chose a plate of salad to eat, but she didn't expect the salad to be delicious.

Lewis felt that he couldn't fill his stomach even after eating this salad, so he had to carry the plate and walk to the meat area, choosing those greasy fried foods to provide a sense of satiety.

They have to go to the factory in the afternoon!You have to eat some to ensure that you have sufficient physical strength!

As soon as Lewis walked to the meat section, he saw a familiar figure standing there—it was the Kone from Ainia whom he had met in the convenience store before.Kenny is wearing a simple T-shirt and jeans today, and the short T-shirt wraps his well-developed muscles, which are bulging and full of strength.The plate in his hand was already full of fried chicken nuggets, and he was holding a roast leg of lamb in one hand.He seems to be a big eater too.

As soon as Kone turned his head, he happened to see Lewis. His face was initially surprised, but then he immediately showed joy. He greeted "hi, Lewis" and walked quickly to Lewis.

Lewis smiled at him too: "Kene, is that you?"

Kone was very happy when he heard Lewis calling his name: "Do you still remember me?"

Lewis replied with a smile: "My memory has always been good."

"That's awesome," Kone said. "Are you coming to the buffet too? This restaurant has a lot of meat. I come here often."

Lewis really didn't know what to say, so he just smiled: "That's pretty good."

Kone said to Lewis, "You are Lewis, right?"

Lewis was stunned and said, "Huh?"

He didn't understand.

Kone continued, "I didn't know you were 'Lewis' the last time I saw you, and I do now. So I'm going to introduce myself to you again."

Lewis still didn't get it.

But Kenny put down the plate full of fried chicken and roast lamb leg, took out a paper towel to wipe his hands, coughed twice, straightened his back, took out an ID folder from his pocket, and revealed his identity: "Hello, I'm Interpol Knee Aote, in charge of the case of your mother Ollie Lambert. I came to China recently to find out the cause of her death..."

Lewis froze in place, as if struck by thunder, his hair was about to stand up one by one: "W-what..."

"Well, that's how things are." Kenny looked at Lewis's reaction, and felt a little embarrassed, "No wonder your brother told me not to disturb you..."

"My brother told you not to disturb me?" The emotion in Lewis' heart changed from shock to anger. "You mean, you have already looked for him? He also knew about this situation, but chose not to tell me?"

Kenny sensed Lewis' anger, and hurriedly said, "I guess not... I don't know about that either! He said you are timid..."

Lewis became even more angry: Why am I so timid?

"Can you accept this kind of reason?" Lewis has always been kind to others, but at this moment he couldn't help showing his anger, "You are a professional criminal policeman!..."

"Wait." Lewis suddenly thought of something and asked, "Are you Interpol? Why did you deal with a suicide case?"

"This case is more complicated." Kenny replied vaguely, "In short, there may be other reasons behind her death."

This news was tantamount to a hammer, hitting Lewis's head so painfully that it was about to explode.

"Impossible..." Lewis' face turned pale instantly, "Impossible...you mean...she was killed by someone?"

Lewis immediately thought of the gentle and fragile mother in his memory. She has always been kind to others. Even if she later fell ill due to accidents and easily lost control of her emotions, no matter how out of control and crazy she was, she would only hurt herself and never hurt others... …

Who would have the heart to kill such a good person?

Lewis's breathing suddenly became difficult, there was buzzing around his ears, and his chest heaved violently.

Seeing Lewis react so strongly, Kone also regretted that he was too reckless, and suddenly told the other party such an important matter in the restaurant without laying out a few words.However, Kone has always been straightforward.When he saw Lewis in the convenience store, he wanted to know him, so he went to know him directly and got his mobile phone number.He didn't call later, because he found out Lewis' identity, and felt that it seemed inappropriate to pick him up like this, so he delayed.

In this restaurant, Shao Dangui happened to be walking around and saw Lewis chatting with a stranger, so he leaned over and saw Lewis' face as white as paper, and quickly patted Lewis on the shoulder: "Lewis, you Are you okay?"

Lewis was slapped unexpectedly, and his head woke up, but cold sweat was still on his forehead.He smiled unnaturally and said, "It's okay..."

Seeing Shao Dangui who suddenly appeared, Ke Nie asked again: "Is this your friend?"

Lewis hurriedly introduced: "This is Shao Dangui, and this is Kenie."

Shao Dangui and Ke Nie shook hands.

Kernie said: "If you have something to do...then I'll go first." Then, Kernie made a phone call gesture to Lewis and said, "If you have my number, please contact me if you have anything to do."

One minute ago, Lewis thought that his current focus was on the company with Shao Dangui. Even if the sky was full of knives, he would rush to the factory after dinner with Shao Dangui to inspect the factory.But now it's different.

Lewis turned his face away, and said to Shao Dangui with an apologetic expression, "I'm sorry, I may have to postpone the matter in the afternoon..."

Shao Dangui has also seen how much Lewis has worked so hard for the company's affairs in the past few days. Now that Lewis looks worried, he knows something is wrong.She quickly smiled and said, "It's okay, if you have something to do, go and do it first! Anyway, I'm free in the afternoon, so I'll take a look and talk to you when I go back. You can decide whether you want to go or not."

Lewis nodded gratefully to Shao Dangui, said goodbye, and then ran to Kone's seat.

Kenny was munching on the roast leg of lamb at the dining table, and when he saw Lewis coming, he quickly put down the half-bitten leg of lamb, wiped his hands with a napkin, and said, "What's wrong?"

Lewis asked: "There is a problem with my mother's death. If you come here to investigate the case, just don't look for me. Did you look for...my dad first? What did my dad say?" Lewis thought that Knell should look for the old man first. Liu.After all, Lao Liu is Lambert's spouse.

Kone replied, "It was actually your brother who first knew about this situation."

"Huh?" Lewis was surprised.

Why did my brother never tell me?

Kenny continued: "Five years ago, your brother had commissioned a local organization to salvage Lambert's body on Wanzhao Island in the Sunset Islands. However, it has been too long since she fell into the sea and probably rotted." , or buried in the belly of a fish. It is impossible to salvage it. Therefore, it took so much time and effort to salvage the car."

Lewis was even more shocked. He didn't know that it had been five years since Liu Xius had someone salvage his mother.

"The quality of the car is really hard to say. It has been sunk in the sea for so many years, and it is still in good condition. There is still air in the tires, most of the paint is not peeling off, and many parts are still usable." Kone said, " However, you understand the style of the bureaucrats on the Sunset Islands, and you can’t trust the case investigation. So, your brother personally went to a foreign authority to inspect it. It was found that the brakes of this car have been tampered with..."

"The car was picked up by my brother...and the inspection was also done by my brother..." Lewis became more and more terrified as he thought about it, "What did my brother know this morning?"

"I'm afraid so." Kone said. "He should know something. I even doubt that he didn't tell me everything he knows."

In the evening, Lewis was driving alone on the street.

In the car, he called Sister Lianzi and said that he would not go home for dinner tonight.

Sister Lianzi then said, "Ah, what's going on with you brothers..."

Lewis said coldly, "I want to know too."

There was a notification tone on the phone, Lewis took a look and found that it was Liu Xiusi who called.Lewis got angry for a moment and cut it off.

Hearing the reminder that he was rejected from the other end of the phone, Liu Xiusi was also stunned for a moment. After all, this is rare, but after thinking about it, he thought that the other party might be busy.After a while, Liu Xiusi called again, but was still rejected.Still, he couldn't believe that Lewis would turn down his call.

How could Xiao Yi refuse to answer my call?

Unwilling to give up, Liu Xiusi borrowed Mary's mobile phone to make a call.

Unexpectedly, when I called with Mary's mobile phone, I got through right away.

Lewis' voice came from the phone: "Hello, who is it?"

Liu Xiusi coughed twice and said, "Xiao Yi, it's me."

"..." Lewis was stunned, and his tone suddenly became cold, "It's you, I'm driving, it's inconvenient to answer the phone, what's the matter, let's talk about it later."

After speaking, Lewis hung up the phone.

Hearing the phone hang up with a beep, Liu Xiusi was stunned.

My brother hangs up on me?

impossible.

He just stared at me with watery eyes yesterday.

He's been staring at me with such a cute expression lately.
