MTL - Endless Fall-Chapter 16 She was very happy for him

  Chapter 16 She was very happy for him

   A faint scent of cypress came, trying to dispel the fear that the surrounding environment brought to Lin Jiao.

   She clenched the corner of his clothes, and the moment she stepped out of the glass platform, her heart finally fell.

   "Are you still holding on?" Pei Zhi retracted his hand at the right time, and when he looked down at her, Qing Jun's eyebrows were full of smiles.

   "A little bit." Lin Jiao touched the tip of her nose shyly.

   She stepped down the steps outside the restaurant and followed the way she came: "Uncle, do you want to go back to the old house?"

"No return."

   "Where do you live then?"

   "Red Maple Forest." Pei Zhi narrowed his eyes and looked at the two reflections that overlapped on the stone road.

   He enjoyed his time alone with her.

   Even just walking on a path full of green plants can satisfy his heart.

   "The red maple forest is right in front of my house?"

   "Well, very close to you."

   There was tenderness in his eyebrows and eyes, like a spring breeze blowing across Lin Jiao's face, and even the air was filled with tenderness.

   She has never met anyone like Pei Zhi.

   When he is not laughing, his aura is strong and makes people submissive for no reason; but when he laughs, he is like the big brother next door, as gentle as jade.

   is clearly two different feelings, but when mixed together, it gives him a charm that no one else can have.

   "Is there something on my face?" Seeing her stunned for herself, Pei Zhi smiled even more.

"…No."

   "Then what are you thinking?"

  Lin Jiao's thoughts changed: "I'm thinking about the house price of Red Maple Forest." These words are quite revealing, but she doesn't think so.

   Pei Zhi sees it but does not say it.

   He pressed the car key and opened the co-pilot for her: "It was raised a part at the beginning of the year, and now it's about 61,000."

"So expensive?"

   "When has the market near the CBD ever been cheaper? Mingxin has also gone up."

   "How much has it gone up?"

   "Around five or six thousand."

  Lin Jiao fastened his seat belt and waited for him to get in the car.

   She opened the locker at his signal and took out two bottles of water: "I rented out the house before I knew it."

   Pei Zhi said, "It's okay to rent it out after you get married." He unscrewed the bottle cap of the mineral water and handed it to her.

   "I'm afraid it's still early."

   "Not necessarily, fate is not clear."

  Lin Jiao was noncommittal.

   She had just experienced a failed relationship, and she didn't know whether her heart full of scars could hold another person.

   Instead of looking forward to an illusory marriage, it is better to have some achievements in your career first.

   At least, it is more beneficial to yourself.

   "Tired?" The light in the car was dim, and Pei Zhi couldn't see her expression clearly, thinking she was tired.

  Lin Jiao shook his head: "It's okay."

   She looked at the neon lights and shadows flashing outside the window, and said that it was okay, but her eyelids were pulled down after a while.

   Pei Zhi didn't interrupt.

   He slowed down the speed of the car, selfishly hoping that the road would be longer, but no matter how long it was, it would come to an end, and he couldn't make it happen.

  The moment the brakes were pressed, Lin Jiao woke up leisurely.

   "Uncle, thank you," she rubbed her eyes and showed a smile for him: "I am very happy tonight."

   "Hmm." So did he.

   Pei Zhi watched her disappear into the night.

   He lit a cigarette, the smile in his eyes was hidden by the lingering smoke rising from the cigarette butt.

   However, the joyous thread has not diminished in the slightest.

  *

   This 'date' between the two aroused Qu Shao's curiosity, making him wait at the company early in the morning.

   He hoped and hoped, and finally saw Pei Zhi's figure at exactly nine o'clock: "Boss, good morning!"

   Pei Zhi glanced at him.

   He pushed open the door of the president's office, opened the breakfast he had carried all the way, and sat at the table to enjoy it.

   It was clearly siumai and eggs that were so ordinary that they couldn't be more ordinary, but he tasted the taste of mountains and seas.

  Qu Shao has been with him for four years, how can he not see his weirdness: "Boss, you came with Miss Lin?"

"Um."

   "She also bought this siomai?"

   "Do you want to eat?" Pei Zhi raised his hand and took another bite in front of him, deliberately slowing down his movements, as if showing off to him.

  Qu Shao didn't know what to show off a two-dollar siomai, but it wasn't that he couldn't buy it.

   He pulled away the chair in front of him: "No, I ate a pancake in the morning, and the store added two ham sausages to me."

   Seeing his smug look, Pei Zhi raised his eyebrows: "No wonder you look fatter than yesterday."

  “…” Is this a personal attack? Forget it?

  Qu Shao took a deep breath, not intending to argue with him in order to satisfy his curiosity: "Boss, did you have a good time with her last night?"

"not bad."

   "Is there any intimate interaction?"

   Pei Zhi tapped the egg against the corner of the table and peeled off the shell along the crack: "Does holding hands count?"

  "!" Finally, when they were sober, they were holding hands, and Qu Shao expressed his satisfaction.

   He gave a thumbs up: "Yes, boss, if you continue to work hard, you will be able to hold a beautiful woman in time!"

   "Lend your auspicious words."

   "Then do you want to eat with her at noon? I'll try to get her to come up."

   Pei Zhi pondered for a while: "Forget it." He swallowed the egg in his mouth and picked up the coffee cup: "I haven't been to the cafeteria for a long time."

  Qu Shao understood in seconds: "Okay, I'll be with you."

   Pei Zhi is most satisfied with this.

   "You go to work first." After he finished breakfast, he opened WeChat and was about to send a message to Lin Jiao when he caught a glimpse of a small red dot.

   Pei Yilan: [Hello, dear uncle! Allow me to express my sincere apologies for what happened last time at the bar! The harm done to you due to my drunken gaffe is unjustifiable. Here, I deeply realize the seriousness of the matter... I beg your pardon! —Apologize to: so-and-so]

   Pei Zhi ignored the large paragraph of text in the middle.

   He stared at the name of the apologist at the end, and a sneer overflowed from his throat: [You changed your name? ]

  [What's the name changed? ] After Pei Yilan said this, she noticed the big characters 'so-and-so'.

   She clutched her heart that was about to stop beating, and quickly pressed the retract button as if covering her ears.

   Pei Zhi: [Before copying the model essay next time, remember to check it again. /smile] After he sent this sentence, he directly blocked her.

   No matter how much Pei Yilan apologized, he could not get the slightest response, and could only keep annoyed and regretted in the situation of the death of the society.

   Pei Yilan: Auntie, save me!

   Lin Jiao: I am not yet. (Smile)
