24 Chapter 24

◎Respect like a god◎

The chauffeur rode over, looked at the formation, rubbed his nose and asked if the order was placed by them.

Chen Jing'an popped his head out of Shen Lie's arms and said yes, his cheeks slightly red as he explained: "He's drunk."

The driver smiled, said nothing, and went to put the car in the trunk.

"Get in the car." Chen Jing'an's voice was muffled. She was about to get to the passenger seat, but her wrists were tightly clasped. Shen Lie opened the door and pulled her back. She gritted her teeth, trying to endure it and stuff herself in.

Shen Lie's legs were long, and they took up most of the space if they were supported casually. However, he leaned over without knowing it, making the originally small space even more cramped.

What was squeezed was Chen Jing'an's space. She was almost pressed against the car door. Next to Shen Lie, she tried to push, but it didn't move at all.

Chen Jing'an didn't know if Shen Lie was really drunk.

The driver was a local, but I heard that their accents were not local, so I thought they were a traveling couple. They introduced local fun and delicious food with great interest, and Chen Jing'an could only follow the conversation and chat a few more words.

Shen Lie said nothing, tilted his head against her, and closed his eyes.

His short hair scratched the skin on his neck, his head had a certain weight, and one side of his shoulders collapsed. The distance was too close, which created a strange feeling. Chen Jing'an wanted to move away, but it would only be the slightest thing, and he would be pulled back. She I can only be forced to make a human-shaped pillow.

The smell of alcohol, and even the air, seemed to be fermented.

Chen Jing'an's mind was not on the topic of conversation. After a few words, the conversation ended and the car became quiet. She lowered the window halfway and felt the night breeze pouring in.

When the car drove to the hotel, Chen Jing'an saw Ji Hong waiting outside the door. After the car stopped, he walked over and opened the door. Seeing the close distance between the two people, he was stunned for a moment.

"He drank too much. Sorry to trouble you." Chen Jing'an said warmly.

"It should be."

Chen Jing'an was about to get out of the car, but she still had no intention of raising her head on her shoulders. She could only call him calmly. Shen Lie raised his hand to rub the corners of his eyes, slowly straightened up, and clasped his hands with his other hand. She asked her if she wanted to go back together tonight.

"No, I'm with the seniors, and the return tickets have been booked." When he asked, Chen Jing'an couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster.

According to Shen Lie's character, when he asked this question, he was probably planning to do so.

Her wishes don't matter.

Shen Lie lowered his eyelashes and seemed to be thinking.

Chen Jing'an thought that he was probably going to be sick again. She looked back at him and closed her long eyelashes lightly: "And I made an appointment with my senior sister to visit the airport duty-free shop together tomorrow. I also promised to bring things for my friends."

Her voice was gentle, but her heart was agitated. .

Their eyes met, and Shen Lie's eyes were as calm as a deep lake. For a moment, he pulled his lips, a smile appeared on his face, and said yes, asking her to pay attention to her safety.

Chen Jingan breathed a sigh of relief.

Replied: "You too."

Ji Hong looked at Chen Jing'an's back disappearing into the hotel lobby, more or less surprised. Before, he was covered with thorns, but now he is extremely supple.

"Miss Chen seems to have accepted you." Ji Hong said in a relaxed tone.

Finally, he doesn't have to be caught in the middle.

Shen Lie was still pinching the bridge of his nose in the back seat to relieve the symptoms. He had not drunk so much in many years. He always had people begging for his share. He was happy to drink a little, but not happy to avoid drinking. But today, everyone said "little" "Shen" shouted, which sounded fresh and interesting. He accepted everyone who came and seemed to really step into the role.

Xiao Chen, Xiao Shen.

Shen Lie chuckled, with the usual faint smile in his voice: "Really?"

-

Chen Jing'an and Zhong Xin lived in a double room. When she swiped her card to come in, Zhong Xin was a little surprised, and said with a meaningful smile I thought she wouldn't come back tonight.

"Xiao Shen is really good. I think he is much better than the last one. Although he is not as rich as the previous one, his face can definitely make up for any shortcomings. Xiao An, you can do it. Each boyfriend is better than the other."

He asked again: "You Ask Xiao Shen if there is any handsome guy like him in their family. It doesn't matter if he's just a little bit different. Let's introduce him and I'll treat him to a meal."

Chen Jing'an just smiled, responded vaguely, and moved on to other topics.

With Shen Lie's behavior, she was worried that the Shen family would have some abnormal genes.

Going to the airport early the next morning, Zhong Xin did have a long shopping list, and she took Chen Jing'an to a shopping spree. Chen Jing'an didn't need much, so she bought gifts for her parents. Some of them were bought for her roommate Ruan Ling. Finally, she thought about it. , she still bought a men's watch. The price was not cheap for her, but she could afford it, so she swiped her credit card to buy it.

Shen Lie gave her a lot of things, and she instinctively wanted to return some, although this seemed insignificant to him.

The watch was delivered after she returned to the capital. After ordering in the restaurant, she took it out of her bag, hesitated for a moment, pushed it past the table, brushed away the broken hair from her ears, and said: "I bought it at the duty-free shop, performance fee, no "So this watch isn't worth much, it's just a little thought."

The watch box was held by sharp-jointed fingers. Shen Lie lowered his eyes and opened it with one hand. A simple men's watch lay quietly inside.

His eyelashes raised and fell again, and he looked at them for a long time.

Chen Jing'an put his hands on the table and folded his arms unnaturally: "It's not a big brand, it's a very basic one. You may not be able to wear it."

The box was covered, there was a soft click, and Shen Lie looked up. Looking at her: "Thank you, I didn't expect to receive a gift."

"It's not valuable. If you don't like it, you can give it back to me."

"Since you gave it to me, it's mine, right?" Shen Lie said.

Chen Jing'an: "Of course."

She had already guessed the fate of this watch, which would be left to gather dust in a corner where no one cares. Although Shen Lie's reaction was dull, he was still polite and did not embarrass her.

Today's Shen Lie can barely be considered a human being.

The two of them just had a meal. He was very calm and occasionally lost his mind. When he looked at her, he always seemed to be looking away from her. As for what Chen Jing'an didn't know, he was not interested in knowing.

She buried her head in her meal, feeling a little distressed that she had earned tens of thousands of dollars.

The money is converted into coins. You can hear the sound of water if you fold it and throw it into the water. If you throw it here to Shen Lie, it will be like a drop of water entering the sea, without any waves.

This move didn't work, so Chen Jing'an silently made a cross.

After dinner, Shen Lie asked Ji Hong to send Chen Jing'an back to school. He still had a game.

Shen Jin is also here. He has been missing people a lot lately, and he seems to be washing his hands in a golden basin. Today he came in and sat on the sofa, smoking one cigarette after another. There was a dark cloud above his head, and his eyes were gloomy. He came in Someone sometimes made fun of me, and after I got angry back, I knew it was probably because of my little girlfriend.

Shen Lie came over and greeted everyone. The room was filled with smoke, and some people almost became immortals. He raised his legs and directly smoked the cigarette from Shen Jin's mouth, extinguishing it without raising his eyelids.

"Brother."

Shen Jin sat upright.

Shen Lie sat down, crossed his long legs, and asked him: "What about it?"

Shen Jin glanced at him and thought to himself, what do you know? You can't be so brave in your words by robbing someone who destroys love and love by force. He took a sip of strong wine and said, "You don't understand."

Shen Lie glanced at him.

Shen Jin couldn't bear it anymore and took the initiative to confess. After the two slept together, the atmosphere made him want his little girlfriend to stay. The little girlfriend picked up the skirt from the ground and put it on and said no. He also invited her to live with him out of curiosity. Weird looked at him and asked him what he thought.

"What can I think? Is it abnormal for boyfriend and girlfriend to live together?"

People in the room listened to him sobbing. Shen Jin's eyebrows drooped a little and his eyes were painful: "Do you know what she said? She said, Shen Jin "Jin, are we boyfriend and girlfriend?"

Shen Jin was stunned. Thinking about the heated scenes these days, he wanted to ask otherwise, but his little girlfriend had already dressed, took her bag and left, looking cool and cool.

"……"

silence.

Shen Jin asked painfully: "Does this count as losing my virginity?"

"..."

Shen Lie looked away without sympathy, leaned against the sofa without any fluctuation, and tugged his lips and asked if he needed his help?

Shen Jin was too aware of Shen Lie's methods, and immediately shook his head heavily, saying that he was just depressed and wanted to talk, but couldn't find anyone for a while. Finally, he thought of Shen Lie. At least because of the last time he helped, there was some emotional talk between the two. , at this moment, I felt something like the sigh of a miserable person trapped in love.

Shen Lie ignored him and had no intention of playing cards. When someone spoke to him, he would reply with a few words.

But everyone in the room obviously felt that Shen Lie seemed to be in a good mood tonight. Normally, he would not have had the patience to participate in a game like this, let alone hear about Shen Jin's dumping story.

"Brother Lie, this watch of yours is quite rare. Which master made it?" Someone with a keen eye noticed that there was a new watch on Shen Lie's wrist. When he looked at it, he couldn't identify the brand. In short, it was not something Shen Lie often wore. of several brands.

Someone asked, and the others looked over.

They couldn't recognize any of them, but they thought it would be difficult to be brought out by Shen Lie, and they all wondered how much it would cost.

Shen Lie lowered his eyes, his gaze fell on the watch, and his fingers touched the edge of the dial: "It's not a valuable thing."

"Really or not?"

"I don't believe it."

"Brother Lie, please take it off and show it to us. It’s not that he doesn’t know the goods.”

“…”

Shen Lie didn’t take it off, and he didn’t know the brand. Someone gave it to him and he put it on. He said it was worthless, but his hands didn’t stop moving, and the corners of his lips seemed to be twitching. There is no place for pleasure.

"If you are willing to bring it out, it must not be that simple. Brother Lie, since when have you been so stingy?"

Shen Lie said in a very calm tone: "That's it."

"Take it with you as you like."

Shen Jin, who was nestled aside, recognized tens of thousands. He thought with disgust when Shen Lie's taste would change like this. Suddenly he thought of a person next to Shen Lie who could buy such a watch. He suddenly realized that he was so sad that he said "Fuck you", covered his face and looked back. Damn it, today's blow is double.

—The

success of the performance attracted the attention of a director, who approached the orchestra and wanted to film "The Overlord Disarms". With the combination of audio-visual language, the effect will surely be more shocking.

It needs to be re-arranged, from the music score to the fingering, it is not simple. More importantly, it needs "Yu Ji". The director has already thought about this, and Chen Jing'an is the most suitable candidate.

The director first found Zhou Zhengqing and arranged a meeting.

"This is a good thing. Nowadays, folk music is becoming more and more niche. If you want to pass it on, it needs to be seen by more and more people."

Chen Jing'an had no reason to refuse. The only thing that was more difficult was probably the person holding the pipa during the filming. She needs to learn the dance moves temporarily. It's not difficult, it just takes time.

After forming a team, she signed up for a class to learn basic dance. Unfortunately, during filming, her dancing posture was difficult to see and held her back.

She was a newbie and needed to open up her muscles and bones, and press her legs and shoulders every day... It was really painful, so she gritted her teeth and persisted, but it would inevitably affect her daily life, and her whole body was sore and unbearable. Shen Lie couldn't understand why he went to learn dance specifically for this, but Let Ji Hong take her to and from class.

On this day, Chen Jing'an finished class, and the person who picked her up was not Ji Hong, but Shen Lie. Only then did she realize that she was too busy during this period and the number of meetings could only be counted on one hand.

When Chen Jing'an got into the car, she felt her sore muscles and couldn't help but frown.

Shen Lie noticed it, raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "What can I take to make myself look like this?"

"I just want to do better." Chen Jingan pulled the car door and her voice was muffled, like Sighing as if not full.

This topic has been discussed before. Chen Jing'an was gentle on the surface, but actually very thoughtful. Shen Lie didn't say much.

When they arrived at Qianwan, Chen Jing'an went to the room to take a shower and change clothes.

The temperature gradually climbed and summer officially entered. After washing, she randomly picked a long skirt from the cloakroom and put it on. She seldom bothered about what to wear. There were so many clothes inside that it was dazzling. New ones were always delivered. She was always very happy in her life. Difficult to wear.

Her freshly washed hair was blow-dried and scattered, and was tucked softly behind her ears. She was clean and translucent, with moisture. There was food packed from the restaurant on the dining table, but no one was seen. She looked around, Shen Lie She was talking on the phone in the front yard, with a broad and straight back. She withdrew her gaze, went to the kitchen to get the plates, and packed the food. This was also Shen Lie's habit. Packing boxes would affect her appetite.

Chen Jing'an was so focused that when Shen Lie ended the call and hugged her from behind, her heart skipped a beat. She was so frightened that the dishes almost slipped from her hands.

The mirror at the entrance clearly reflected her frightened expression.

During this period of time together, Shen Lie gave her time to adapt, and she was trying her best to get used to it. It wasn't that she hadn't been hugged before, but when the body temperature was transmitted through the clothes, it seemed that they were exchanging temperature and smell. This kind of intimacy made her uncomfortable and wanted to get away.

"Eat... let's eat."

"Yeah." Shen Lie just responded.

After hanging up the phone, he turned around and saw Chen Jing'an busy at the dining table. She had difficulty moving due to dancing practice. She arranged the dishes slowly and delicately, fiddled with the dishes, and wiped off the dripping oil on the edges with a focused expression. The soft lines of the side face make people unable to take their eyes away.

The light in the house also has warmth.

Shen Lie wanted to hug her, so he thought so and did so.

He felt Chen Jing'an flinch, like a frightened bird, but she became obedient after reacting. He looked at her expression in the mirror, which was different from her body language. Yuan Dai's eyebrows were furrowed, showing a restrained disgust. It almost came out of his eyes, but in the end he just pursed his lips and let him eat.

No one knows better than her when it comes to telling the truth.

Shen Lie smiled instead and easily turned her around. Before she could react, he lifted her hips and hugged her to the dining table. Seeing her panic, he instinctively hugged his neck tightly. With his eyes open, the only reflection was him. The smile deepened little by little, and there was some malicious mischief.

Chen Jing'an was worried about knocking over the food, so she turned her head to look. Her cheek was pinched, and she turned back to look at him. She could only look at him.

Her cheeks were soft, and her wide eyes were filled with mist.

Shen Lie's eyes were too bright, like the broken light and shadow of the beautiful crystal chandelier in the living room.

Chen Jing'an also noticed that he was wearing the watch she gave him on his wrist. When he received it, it looked plain and plain, as if he could throw it to the roadside at any time. How could he wear it? He wore it when he went to the company to discuss cooperation with others. What would others think... Chen Jing'an didn't understand him at all.

The two people looked at each other, less than a finger apart, the air was stalemate, and something was surging calmly.

Chen Jing'an was so nervous that it was difficult to breathe.

She couldn't help but know what was about to happen, and her brain was in a state of confusion. She was thinking about what to say and do this time so that she could escape unscathed.

Unexpected.

Shen Lie had already held the side of her face, and pressed the corners of her lips heavily with his fingertips. He lowered his eyelids and looked down. He got closer and closer, and the woody smell invaded her.

"It hurts... it hurts so much." Chen Jing'an said dullly, but she was too nervous to make a pitiful expression. She stammered and her tone was stiff and too fake.

Trying to awaken his remaining conscience.

A smile flashed in Shen Lie's eyes.

He didn't let the cunning rabbit escape. He clasped her chin and lifted her up. His other hand circled back and held her slim waist tightly. He leaned forward and kissed her soft lips, breathing hot and chaotic.

He just kissed her, without prying her lips and teeth, and without violently plundering her. He was restrained and forbearing.

They regard it as a treasure and respect it as a god.
