gentle reunion

The layout of Lanran's wine cellar is a bit like his study room. There are wine racks from the floor to the ceiling under several walls, and in the open space in the middle, there are wooden tables and chairs at one end, and two sofas at the other end.

Xu Zan suspected that Lan Tianran often spends time here, so he asked, "Do you like drinking?"

"It's okay." Lan Tianran said, "The wine here is basically given by others."

He stood in front of the wine rack, picked up a bottle of wine, and checked the label on it: "It's better to eat seafood with white wine."

Xu Zan walked over and looked down at the wine in Lan Tianran's hand: "If you like wine, then I can give you more things in the future."

Lan Tianran looked at Xu Zan, Xu Zan was very close to him now, so close that their arms would touch each other...

He didn't back away, but just said a word silently in his heart: Pay attention to the breathing rhythm.

He continued to chat with Xu Zan: "No need to give away, I own a share in a winery, and they give me wine every year."

Xu Zan sighed: "Okay."

It's a good thing that someone you like has everything, but sometimes it's also depressing.

Lan Tianran: "You can see if you like it, I'll give it to you."

"You're so kind." Xu Zan hugged Lan Tianran with a smile, "But I think it's more convenient for me to come to you directly after I want to drink."

"Hmm." Ninety percent of Lan Tianran's attention was devoted to maintaining the breathing rhythm, and the remaining ten percent was thinking that Xu Zan was too unruly - he thought that the two of them would have physical contact inadvertently, but Xu Zan did it directly.

Lan Tianran put the wine bottle in his hand back on the wine rack, and then continued to walk forward, thinking that this would make Xu Zan let go.

He was wrong, Xu Zan just moved forward with him, his arms were still firmly across his shoulders, and while walking, other parts of his body had a large area of ​​contact with him.

The reason why Xu Zan didn't let go was very simple. He felt that Lan Tianran didn't reject him - he didn't become stiff and didn't push him away.

For him, just silent words are not rejection, but acquiescence.

Lan Tianran acquiesced for a while, but finally couldn't bear it anymore, but instead of pushing Xu Zan away directly, he stepped on the ladder by fetching a bottle of wine from a high place.

Of course Xu Zan couldn't get on the same ladder with him, so he let go.

Xu Zan supported the ladder, looked up at Lan Tianran, and chatted casually: "Didn't you live here for a few years? Why are you still putting so much wine here?"

Lan Tianran: "Even if I'm not here, the house is still running."

The sanitation is cleaned, the gardens are looked after, and the wines are shipped and put into the wine cellar.

"Oh." Xu Zan found that the consumption concepts of the two were different. He usually rents out the house he doesn't live in. Not only will Lan Tianran not do this, but he will continue to hire people to maintain the empty house.

From this, it can be seen that the two are from different classes.

Fortunately, they don't pay attention to the right family.

Lan Tianran chose a bottle of white wine: "Let's go up, this wine must be chilled."

He got off the ladder and walked quickly to the exit.

Xu Zan followed: "Wait for me."

Lan Tianran walked faster.

Over at the clubhouse at the beginning, Zhao Hong received a photo from Xie Kaiyan, but it wasn't a photo of what Sun Zhe was doing, but a photo of a beautiful woman with long hair.

Xie Kaiyan: She was the one who came to me and asked me to tell her about Xu Zan.

Zhao Hong: She is Sun Zhe's secretary, and what I want is Sun Zhe's photo.

Xie Kaiyan: My colleague said that Sun Zhe was talking to Mr. Li. Mr. Li is a very important guest. If he doesn't call us, we can't disturb him.

Zhao Hong asked Xiang Xiang: "Do you know this Mr. Li?"

Xiang Xiang shook his head: "Li is a very common surname, I don't know who he is."

Zhao Hong looked in the direction of the side hall: "It's okay, when they come out, they will know who it is."

Xiang Xiang "find fault": "What if they go out by another exit?"

Zhao Hong: "..."

But it's okay, they have an internal response, Xie Kaiyan can help them keep an eye on other exits.

About half an hour later, Xiang Xiang called Zhao Hong: "Old Zhao, is that beautiful woman with long hair the secretary of Sun Zhe?"

Zhao Hong raised his head and looked in the direction of the side hall through the cover of the potted plants.

He Wenyu walked to the side hall, but she didn't try to enter the side hall, but found a seat nearby and sat down.

Like Zhao Hong and the others, she was waiting for Sun Zhe to come out.

After another quarter of an hour, Sun Zhe came out from the side hall. He didn't walk out alone in a daze, but was sent out by the smiling Li Mingen himself.

Zhao Hong spoke to Xiang Xiang in a low voice: "The person next to Sun Zhe is probably Mr. Li, do you know him?"

"I don't know." Xiang Xiang also lowered his voice, "Look at the watch on his hand."

Zhao Hong pushed his glasses and squinted his eyes to see that the middle-aged man next to Sun Zhe was wearing a watch on his wrist, but the distance was too far, and he didn't know much about watches, so he couldn't tell what happened.

"What happened to his watch?"

"That watch is worth at least 200 million."

"Oh." Zhao Hong looked at the man carefully.

He is about 40 years old, with an ordinary appearance and a slightly fat body. From his standing posture and expression, it can be seen that he is the kind of very confident superior.

Zhao Hong raised his mobile phone and quietly took a photo. With the photo, it is convenient to investigate who this Mr. Li is.

He Wenyu saw Sun Zhe coming out, stood up and looked at him with a smile.

She looks pure and has long hair like ink. Li Mingen was attracted by her: "Xiao Sun, who is this?"

"My secretary, He Wenyu."

Li Mingen smiled and said, "Miss He, nice to meet you."

He Wenyu was a little flattered, and quickly approached: "Mr. Li, hello."

Sun Zhe moved slightly towards He Wenyu, as if trying to get in front of her.

Li Mingen looked at He Wenyu carefully, and then said, "I'm sorry, Miss He, can you wait a little longer, I still have a few words to say to Sun Zhe."

"Okay." He Wenyu quickly backed away to make room for them to speak.

"Xiao He is quite suitable for my eyes." Li Mingen said to Sun Zhe, his eyes stayed on He Wenyu who was gradually walking away.

Sun Zhe looked at Li Mingen with uncertain eyes, guessing his thoughts in his heart.

Li Mingen said meaningfully: "If you have something to do, go ahead and let Xiao He sit with me for a while."

Sun Zhe was stunned for a moment, then called He Wenyu: "Xiao He, come here."

Zhao Hong and Xiang Xiang saw He Wenyu walking back to Sun Zhe, and then Sun Zhe left, and He Wenyu followed that Mr. Li back to the side hall.

Zhao Hong said to Xiang Xiang: "I'll go with Sun Zhe, you stay here."

Zhao Hong followed Sun Zhe out of the main venue, walked into a remote small courtyard, watched Sun Zhe go to the stone chair in the courtyard and sat down, then did not move.

Zhao Hong used the pillars and green plants to hide himself, thinking, what is Sun Zhe doing here?Are you waiting for someone?

He looked around, thinking which way to leave if someone came.

Sun Zhe just sat quietly on the stone chair, neither playing with his phone nor looking around. The light from the corridor shone into the courtyard, casting a long, still shadow at his feet.

1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes...

Sun Zhe seems to be working part-time as a body art model - the kind that pretends to be a sculpture.

Zhao Hong couldn't help but check the time on the phone again and again. After more than ten minutes, Sun Zhe finally moved, and he took out his phone to make a call.

He said: "Wen Yu, the company has urgent matters with me, I have to go back."

After a while, he said again: "I need to sign an urgent document, please accompany Mr. Li for me, and I will come back to pick you up after I have settled the matter."

After a few more moments, he added, "I'm already in the parking lot. Well, I'll be back as soon as possible."

After finishing the phone call, Sun Zhe walked from the dimly lit courtyard to the corridor. The lights illuminated his face, and two expressions of sadness and despair intertwined on his face. It seemed that he had just made a very difficult decision.

Zhao Hong hurriedly turned to another direction to avoid running into Sun Zhe head-on.

After Sun Zhe walked a certain distance, he followed up again.

Sun Zhe walked towards the exit.

Zhao Hong watched him leave, then turned around to go to Xiang Xiang.

"Who is that? Are you following him?" a female voice asked.

Zhao Hong turned his head and saw Song Minmin: "Miss Song, hello."

He said: "No one, I accidentally got lost and came here."

"Oh, so." Song Minmin smiled.

In fact, she saw Sun Zhe and recognized him.

——Sun Zhe is the vice president of a famous investment company after all. Even if you haven't met him formally, you have met him on some occasions.

Zhao Hong: "Why is Miss Song here?"

"Come to participate in the Tanabata event."

Zhao Hong: "Are you going back now?"

"No, I just came to the bathroom."

Only then did Zhao Hong see a bathroom sign on the nearby wall, and he quickly used this as an excuse to get away: "I'm going to the bathroom too."

After going to the bathroom, Zhao Hong went back to look for Xiang Xiang.

Xiang Xiang: "Why have you been away for so long?"

"Sun Zhe is gone." Zhao Hong looked towards the side hall, "Have the people inside come out?"

Xiang Xiang shook his head: "We have to wait for them to come out?"

Zhao Hong: "Wait a minute. Sun Zhe will come back later, let's see if we can find anything."

He was wrong, and Sun Zhe didn't come back until He Wenyu and Mr. Li left.

Most of the bottle of white wine Lan Tianran chose went into Xu Zan's stomach.

At first, Lan Tianran told him to drink less, but later he felt that this was his home anyway, so it didn't matter if Xu Zan was drunk, so he didn't say anything else.

Xu Zan was not drunk either, but looked a little tipsy.

His state made Lan Tianran relax a bit - he looked a little confused, which made Lan Tianran not so worried that he would see his strangeness.

After eating, Xu Zan said, "Naturally, I want to watch a movie."

Lan Tianran: "What do you want to see?"

"See with your eyes?" Xu Zan blinked.

Lan Tianran was amused by him: "No, I mean where do you want to watch it? Use the computer in the study? Watch TV in the bedroom? Or go upstairs and watch it with the projector?"

"Whatever, I want to watch it with you."

The two went upstairs to watch a movie in the home theater.

Xu Zan chose a cool movie, and played the whole movie from beginning to end.

The two chatted while watching—there was no plot in this film, so even though they were multitasking, there was no need to worry about missing key points and affecting the viewing experience.

Lan Tianran asked, "Do you like this type of movie?"

"Average. But don't you think this kind of movie is suitable for two people to watch?"

Lan Tianran: "Really?"

"Yeah, what an atmosphere."

"...Well." Lan Tianran watched the fists on the screen, guns and headshots, and the atmosphere was very intense.

"Just kidding." Xu Zan said, "The point is not the content of the movie, but that two people can sit together without doing anything."

The sofa in the home theater is a one-piece sofa. He moved a little towards Lan Tianran, piled the pillows next to Lan Tianran, then leaned over, leaned on the pile of pillows, and looked at Lan Tianran closely: "Do you think Is this a waste of time?"

"No, it's good." Lan Tianran really wouldn't watch this kind of movie alone, but watching it with Xu Zan is acceptable.

But he strongly hoped that Xu Zan could pay attention to the distance between the two.

Now the air current from Xu Zan's breathing kept hitting his skin, making him very anxious.

On the way to watch the movie, a call from Zhao Hong popped up on Xu Zan's phone, he pressed it off, and replied to the message: I will call you later.

Later, Lan Tianran also received a call from Song Minmin, but because of Xu Zan's previous example, he didn't answer it.

Probably because he was drowsy from drinking too much, when he saw the second half, Xu Zan's words became less, and slowly, his eyes closed.

Lan Tianran saw it, and immediately prepared to stay away from the other party, but at this moment, he found that he was not so nervous.

He didn't move, just remained in place.

He has a new understanding of his nervousness.

As long as Xu Zan's attention is not fully focused on him, his symptoms will be alleviated; as long as Xu Zan's attention is completely not on him, his symptoms will disappear-provided that you don't look or think too much.

If you keep staring at Xu Zan, it is easy to think too much, and symptoms may appear.

Lan Tianran looked forward, trying to concentrate on watching the movie.

Xu Zan didn't sleep for a long time, and opened his eyes after squinting for about ten minutes. He lay on the pillow and yawned: "I fell asleep? How can I fall asleep with such an exciting movie?"

Lan Tianran: "You only slept for a short while. Didn't you say that you can fall asleep anywhere?"

That being the case, it is normal to fall asleep watching this kind of film.

"It used to be like this, but now it's more picky." Xu Zan moved a little towards Lan Tianran, and his hair rubbed against Lan Tianran's arm, making it itchy.

"When the living environment improves, people will become more delicate, which is something we are used to." Xu Zan complained to himself.

Lan Tianran hesitated for a while, and finally raised his hand to stroke Xu Zan's hair in obedience to his own will: "It's okay, I can afford it if you choose."

——Although it was sincere, it was said in a joking tone.

Xu Zan took advantage of the opportunity to make the joke bigger. He turned over and hugged Lan Tianran's waist, and said with a smile, "Thank you, I remember your words."

Lan Tianran was at a loss, thinking that he had committed a crime of his own accord.
