Wait, this couldn’t be right. Jiang Ci turned the board, but even if it was playing games, Lu Xingxue’s handwriting was still upright and vigorous.

——White.

Lu Xingxue, Xiao Bai, it seems logical that she likes white.

“…” Jiang Ci looked at Lu Xingxue. Lu Xingxue blinked when she looked over, and she didn’t know what to say.

Huo Zhenzhen stuffed the beer bottle into Jiang Ci’s hand, and Jiang Ci had to drink.

“Next!” Xiao A said, everyone’s eyes were attracted to him: “Sister Ah-Ci, I’m here to ask, everyone is going to—”

Jiang Ci interrupted him: “Wait, first, how many more questions are you going to ask?”

Du Xiaomeng: “Of course, the old rule is to ask questions until the answer is correct.”

Jiang Ci: “…” I’m afraid.

There was a chuckle from around, obviously Lu Xingxue thought the same.

Jiang Ci pressed Huo Zhenzhen’s arm: “What did you say?”

Huo Zhenzhen tried his best to keep her expression from breaking too much, and in a negotiating tone: “Then… three? There are only three things, so let’s ask three, is three not too many?”

Jiang Ci barely accepted this amount, and everyone said it was OK. Several pairs of eyes looked at Xiao A, and Xiao A didn’t push it: “Sister Ah-Ci, what is your name in the address book of President Lu? “

Everyone: “woo~~!”

They made random guesses like, “honey”, “darling”, and “baby”, and Lu Xingxue finished the answer during the commotion.

How can Jiang Ci not understand the mentality of these people wanting to watch a good show, thinking this will disappoint them: “The remark name is my name, ‘Jiang Ci’.”

In view of the wrong answer to the first question, Jiang Ci finished the answer, and then confirmed with Lu Xingxue: “Right?” She stared very determinatedly at Lu Xingxue

Lu Xingxue: “…”

Xiao A was overjoyed at the erasable board: “Ms. Lu, is it the kind of cat that is cold and loves to be coquettish?”

Jiang Ci shook his heart.

Mao Mao? What cat?

On the erasable board, Lu Xingxue’s answer is only one word: cat.

………………

…………

……

So the scene where she scratched the carpet and said “I am a cat” to Lu Xingxue and was meowing on the spot… wasn’t a dream? …But… it was real… it has happened! ?

Jiang Ci’s face burned up.

Du Xiaomeng held the wine bottle and walked around to respect Jiang Ci, pushing her shoulder affectionately, and said, “Sister Ah-Ci, you and President Lu are not good, come on, drink the wine first, and I will ask the third question. Ask, I will definitely let the two of you cooperate tacitly?”

Jiang Ci was pushed by her to the left and right, and Lu Xingxue gave her a hand.

Jiang Ci’s mood was hard to describe in one word.

Huo Zhenzhen is still happy: “Du Xiaomeng, the last question is up, you have a good idea. Don’t let the two of them have a good heart, and quarrel all the way back.”

Her words caused a big laugh.

“Wrap on Xiao Du!” Du Xiaomeng rushed to Huo Zhenzhen with an “OK” gesture: “Now, they are all married, then my question doesn’t need to be too innocent, agree?”

Jiang Ci: “……”

Huo Zhenzhen: “I knew you were going to do something hahahahaha!”

Except for the person involved, everyone else burst into tears.

This terrible game, Jiang Ci looked at the people holding their bellies blankly, expressing her emotions silently.

Du Xiaomeng waved his hand and said: “Okay, okay, I know Sister Ah-Ci is thin-skinned, I just made a joke! Well… Sister Ah-Ci, President Lu kissed you for the first time! Where did the first kiss happen to you?

Jiang Ci: “……”

Lu Xingxue: “…”

Du Xiaomeng: “This is simply a sub-question, alas, Xiao Du who is beautiful and kind.”

Jiang Ci and Lu Xingxue glance at each other.

Where did it happen?

hasn’t happened yet : )

——How can anyone answer this? After three years of marriage, you haven’t even received a kiss. No one would believe this kind of truth?

Huo Zhenzhen pulls Jiang Ci: “Ah-Ci, you have turned around, your eyes are almost sticking to President Lu, are you cheating with your eyes?”

Lu Xingxue laughed, because she smiled softly, Jiang Ci suddenly had an idea that no matter how unreliable the answer she said, the other party would unconditionally tolerate the idea.

Jiang Ci took away the pen in Lu Xingxue’s hand, and drank the rest of the wine in the bottle.

Du Xiaomeng watched: “Eh eh eh!”

Everyone booed again, and Jiang Ci hung the wine bottle upside down, and there was no drop of wine left.

Since she took the initiative to give in and drink, everyone had to give up.

Huo Zhenzhen and Jiang Ci had their heads next to their heads: “Now I really believe you are a coincidence.”

They started the next round very quickly. Jiang Ci exhaled and said to Huo Zhenzhen: “I drank red wine before coming and mixed it with beer. I’ll go down and buy water.”

Huo Zhenzhen saw her face flushed, and wanted to accompany her: “Can you do it?”

Jiang Ci patted her on the shoulder, and when she got up, she spoke to Lu Xingxue again. Lu Xingxue nodded, “Okay.”

The tattoo shop was on the second floor, Jiang Ci went down the open-air stairs, and there was a 24-hour convenience store across the street. She opened the glass door, went in and bought a bottle of iced mineral water.

There was a high stool outside the convenience store, and there was no one left or right, so she sat down on the stool.

Not in a hurry to go back, the evening breeze is breezy, she didn’t drink much at first, and the alcoholic mood quickly dissipated.

“Meow~Meow~”

I don’t know where a wild cat ran out to beg for life in the lively night market. It was not afraid of life. It squatted at Jiang Ci’s feet, wagging its tail and barked at her.

Jiang Ci went back to the convenience store, and found no cat food for sale in a circle, so she bought a box of tuna rice balls, broke it and fed it to it.

The wild cat gobbled it up, Jiang Ci said softly, “You slow down.”

She unscrewed the mineral water bottle and sipped her head up. Looking up, he noticed the window of the tattoo shop opposite, and the curtains were opened slightly, revealing Lu Xingxue’s half back, hazy.

Seems to be listening to the phone.

Jiang Ci moved in his heart and replaced all the remarks of Lu Xingxue on the phone with someone named “Lu”.

looked up again, Lu Xingxue had already left that position.

The wild cat ate and meowed hungrily, Jiang Ci poured some mineral water into the opened rice ball box lid.

The lights of the convenience store flowed out from the glass door. Everyone and a cat were shrouded in light and shadow. Long shadows were cast on the ground. Soon, the third figure merged and merged with them.

“Since I like cats, why not have one?”

The sound of Lu Xingxue.

Jiang Ci looked at her, lowered her head again, and said without hesitation: “To give it a home, be responsible for it, and for it to be dependent on me wholeheartedly… I don’t have the confidence to do it. So I just like to look. .”

Lu Xingxue was silent.

The wild cat was full and lay down next to Jiang Ci and began to lick his fur. Jiang Ci played with the mineral water bottle, moving it from left to right, and then from right to left.

“Is my friend a little troublesome?” Jiang Ci took the initiative to resolve her silence.

Lu Xingxue: “It’s okay.”

There was still blush in the corners of Jiang Ci’s eyebrows, and she asked, “Lu Xingxue, do you know what my favorite color is?”

Lu Xingxue shook her head hesitantly: “Not sure.”

Jiang Ci: “Do you know your contact name on my phone?”

Lu Xingxue: “… Lu Xingxue?”

Jiang Ci laughed.

Lu Xingxue: “No?”

Jiang Ci: “Yes.”

It was almost midnight when she got home that day. Jiang Ci squinted for a while on the way back, and when she finished the shower, she seemed to have just sobered up.

Maybe it was because she drank alcohol and ate crayfish, my throat kept getting dry. After squeezing a glass of juice for herself, Jiang Ci returned to the room after drinking it, and subconsciously looked at Lu Xingxue’s door.

The room was open, and it was dark inside. The studio not far away opened a crack in the door, and light came out from it.

Jiang Ci returned to her room, came out within a minute, walked gently outside the working room, and looked inside.

Lu Xingxue behind the design desk puts on her glasses, and her expression was focused on drawing something.

Still working so late?

Jiang Ci accidentally disturbed her, holding her breath and returning.

As soon as she left, Lu Xingxue’s pen in her hand stopped, and she raised her eyes and glanced in the direction of the door.

-

At the end of September, Mrs. Qian’s jewelry exhibition was held as scheduled. Jiang Ci has a job, so she arrived too late, only to know that today is the 20th anniversary of Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian’s marriage.

The exhibition was handed over to professional curators to plan. The scene created a sense of time tunnel with light and shadow. The exhibits are scattered according to the collection year. Each exhibit is attached with a small card with the words of the rich wife and Mr. Qian’s comment, it is not so much a jewelry exhibition as it is the relationship between Mr. Qian and Mrs. Qian for 20 years.

Many people from the industry came this time, and Jiang Ci soon came over to say hello: “Director Jiang, it’s late. Mr. Qian’s opening speech touched everyone.”

Jiang Ci smiled, and the speaker turned his back, using the voice that can only be heard between them: “Hey, over there, Director You of your company said that you are a busy person. The company also arranged for you to accompany Teacher Ye Wentao on the tour. The soreness in the conversation, our teeth are about to fall.”

You Lu is the director of the sales department and has been unilaterally at odds with Jiang Ci. Jiang Ci thought to herself, as far as Teacher Ye’s follow-up actions are concerned, this is not an enviable job, but the story has been turned over and there is no need to mention it again.

The waiter passed by holding the wine tray, Jiang Ci took a glass of champagne, and clinked glasses with the visitor, it can be regarded as giving a special favor.

After that, Jiang Ci continued to watch the exhibition. On a card with a pigeon blood ring, Mrs. Qian wrote: “After discovering this surprise hanging on the umbrella bone, I look forward to every rainy day like never before.”

Mr. Qian’s comment: “Why is the rainy season so long?”

Jiang Ci was interested, but suddenly, she heard the person standing next to her say: “Every piece of jewelry here has a story that belongs to them. No wonder Mrs. Qian refused to give them up.”

…Lu Xingxue?

Jiang Ci turned her head, Lu Xingxue retracted her gaze from the card and looked at Jiang Ci with a slight smile.

She only loosened the silky bangs, and a chic leaf-shaped diamond earring was sandwiched on the earlobe of her left ear. The makeup was retro, and the well-cut cheongsam wrapped her graceful figure.

The light here is slightly dim, but the beautiful image of Lu Xingxue will still shine.

At first sight, Jiang Ci was shocked by her beauty. After holding his breath for a few seconds, he remembered and asked, “Why are you here?”

Lu Xingxue: “I am very interested in a collection of Mrs. Qian, but…”

The answer is obvious. As Lu Xingxue just said, Mrs. Qian has no plans to sell.

Jiang Ci: “That’s a pity.”

She said “pity”, but the meaning expressed in his eyes was completely opposite, as if she was teasing Lu Xingxue; so there are even things you can’t do?

Lu Xingxue’s eyebrows are smiling, and this kind of inclusive smile—like a spring rain trickling—drips into people’s hearts, and makes Jiang Ci’s heartbeat suddenly fast.
