Chapter 7: Chapter07

The showers stopped at first, and the sun was still bright the next day.
After plugging in headphones for the whole night to listen to music, Jiang Ci slept very restlessly. He got up early and bought a cup of coffee. On the way to the record store, he received a call from Huo Zhenzhen.
"Aci, are you awake?" Huo Zhenzhen's voice sounded like hiding hundreds of gossips to share.
Jiang Ci replied, "I have something to do, it's already on the way."
"That's good, I'm afraid that you won't get up and disturb you to rest." Huo Zhenzhen changed his breath, "Guess who is looking for me early today?"
Jiang Ci: "Who?"
Huo Zhenzhen: "Gu Xiaowei! Hahahahaha, do you know what he said?"
Jiang Ci: "..." What happened, Huo Zhenzhen suddenly said in a gloating tone.
Huo Zhenzhen also didn’t sell it:
Isn’t he going to marry his colleague? Yesterday the Mid-Autumn Festival, their family specially visited the woman’s parent and wanted to set a date. Before, his colleague said that his father is a teacher and his mother is a doctor — well, What! Her dad is indeed working at school, but he is a doorman, and his mother is in the hospital, and he is also just a nurse. Gu Xiaowei, his mother, pay attention to one more person, at that time, the face was so long. Gu Xiaowei stayed all night. , Call me before dawn."
This turning point is really ridiculous. Jiang Ci asked Huo Zhenzhen: "What is he doing with his colleagues, why is he calling you?"
Huo Zhenzhen: "He blamed me for breaking up too simply. If I really love him, I should be stalking and not letting go, so that he is cruel, and he won't get married with his colleagues. "
"..." Jiang Ci was sighed: "He's brainless."
"He is mentally disabled." Huo Zhenzhen recognized Jiang Ci's evaluation and said with a smile: "But I said,'You are true love, how can I bear to beat the mandarin ducks?'"
Jiang Ci couldn't help laughing.
Huo Zhenzhen: "Aci, you know me, although I look heartless, but Gu Xiaowei's doing this is really hurtful. But this morning's call made me completely understand that he is a dog Stuff! I was fed the dog for the two years I was with him!"
If Huo Zhenzhen could figure it out, Jiang Ci was naturally happy for her. The two chatted a few more words, and Huo Zhenzhen asked Jiang Ci: "Yesterday the Mid-Autumn Festival, where did you celebrate the festival?"
The scene in the kitchen was played back in his mind, especially the phrase "liar" Lu Xingxue said. Jiang Ci raised his hand for coffee, and after a while, he replied: "Lu's family."
Huo Zhenzhen: "Have you seen Tong Zhenni recently?"
Jiang Ci: "No. How to mention her?"
Huo Zhenzhen: "After that night at the bar, it seemed that I saw Tong Zhenni and the'Romeo' on the birthday party of one of my customers, but I'm not sure. There were too many people on the scene and they would disappear in a blink of an eye. I'm afraid I just admitted the wrong person, so I didn't tell you."
Jiang Ci: "It doesn't matter if you tell me or not, she has grown up a long time ago, and she has the freedom to make friends in a sober state."
Huo Zhenzhen: "Anyway, you can listen to her as gossip in the future."
Jiang Ci: "I understand."
Huo Zhenzhen: "Oh, right, dinner in the shop at night, come and have a supper together, crayfish, are you free?"
Jiang Ci thought for a while: "It should be possible."
Huo Zhenzhen: "That's OK, let's see you tonight."
Hanging up the phone, Jiang Ci opened the address book, sliding his fingertips, his eyes fell on Lu Xingxue's name.
Huo Zhenzhen mentioned Tong Zhenni and "Romeo", which made Jiang Ci remember that he still owed Lu Xingxue a meal. She stared at the screen, and somehow remembered the phrase "liar", her ears were inexplicably hot, so she directly locked the screen and dropped the phone in her bag.
The record shop wants to record a record for a pianist, who is notoriously picky, and sometimes the difference in height of the piano stool by half a centimeter will make him angry. Jiang Ci had worked with him before, and he knew his character well, so he kept a bit of heart when tuning.
"Om—Om—"
Busy till the afternoon, with the final finishing touches, Jiang Ci caught the vibration of the phone. She ignored it, the movement stopped, and it sounded again. Jiang Ci looked at the corner where she put her bag, a few seconds later she walked over and pulled out the phone from her bag.
Assistant Yao’s voice came through the earpiece:
Miss Jiang, President Lu temporarily changed the itinerary and is now in the Beluga Pavilion.

"Okay, I see, thank you." Jiang Ci hung up the phone indifferently and walked back to the piano to continue working.
The head of the record shop saw that the time was almost the same, and wanted to go to the recording studio to invite Jiang Ci to have a meal afterwards. Unexpectedly, when he opened the door of the recording studio, he saw that the tuned piano was placed securely, without Jiang Ci.
He contacted Jiang Ci and went around to ask the front desk. The front desk said, "Miss Jiang? She left when she was busy, she seemed to be in a hurry."
G City Aquarium, because of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Beluga Aquarium is full of tourists.
Many children lie on the glass, like a group of little sparrows, spontaneously forming a group. Wherever the white whale swims, they will flop and follow with their short legs and chirp. Sometimes they are far away, and they can still be heard. Laughter.
Although the surroundings were noisy, Lu Xingxue was not affected much. She sat quietly for half an hour and got up to leave.
As soon as Assistant Yao saw her getting up, he immediately followed: "Mr. Lu, are you leaving now?"
Lu Xingxue nodded.
Assistant Yao paused for two seconds and looked down at the time: "I left the materials for the meeting tomorrow morning at the company, and Luo Mingliang went back to fetch it for me. He is already on his way here, but it may take a few minutes to arrive."
As she said she pushed her glasses: "There is no other schedule today. The deer will always sit for a while, or should I call you another taxi?"
Lu Xingxue stopped, glanced at her, and said quietly: "Don't worry, let him not rush too much."
"what is that?"
"……Mermaid!"
"Come on, there is a mermaid here!"
"Where?" A group of children jumped and jumped excitedly, you squeezed me, I pushed you and ran past Lu Xingxue. When the deer evaded the snow, he turned around, and in the enclosed glass, the light strip dyed the entire surface of the water blue, and the beluga whale rolled lazily inside.
Mermaid? There is no mermaid show in the Beluga Pavilion, Lu Xingxue can't help but wonder.
One second, two seconds...
The silver-white gradual fish tail flashed from behind the beluga, and then, a slender figure appeared in her sight.
Assistant Yao was visibly relieved.
The mermaid is from top to bottom, with a graceful and charming body when swimming.
Ginger porcelain! ?
Ginger porcelain.
At a certain moment, Lu Xingxue couldn't hear the noise beside her, nor could he see the figures coming and going. The blue deep sea seemed to infuse a ray of sunlight, and the beautiful mermaid stretched its limbs in that beam of light. It was the only one that she could perceive alive.
The eyes of the two met in mid-air.
Jiang Ci dragged the stern fish tail and swam slowly in the water, Lu Xingxue opened her eyes wide, and followed her rhythm, walking slowly along the enclosed glass.
...
Jiang Ci finds it very interesting.
Undoubtedly, as the heir of the Lu family, Lu Xingxue showed her mature and introverted side, but at the moment, she curiously showed a clearer and innocent look than the children around her.
Maturity and innocence were originally two contradictory qualities, but they merged strangely in her.
Jiang Ci dived to a position where his eyes were level with Lu Xingxue. The two of them faced each other. Lu Xingxue blinked subconsciously, and her long eyelashes flickered.
Both innocent and ignorant, a huge sense of contrast rushed over.
Jiang Ci moved his heart, separated his five fingers and pressed his hand on the glass.
The children swarmed, stood on tiptoes, cheered and wanted to high-five the mermaid through the glass.
Lu Xingxue flexed his fingers slightly, and was about to raise his hand, Jiang Ci exhausted in one breath, swinging his tail and swam away.
After a brief shower, the hair was blown dry, Jiang Ci changed into the clothes she had when she came back, and she was embarrassed when she looked in the mirror and adjusted her makeup.
On the day of Lu Xingxue’s parents’ death, Jiang Ci contacted Assistant Yao on the return journey, and asked her to disclose Lu Xingxue’s itinerary to the Beluga Aquarium. Second, please ask her to say hello to the Aquarium and allow her to enter the water.
Jiang Ci's original intention was to bring some comfort to Lu Xingxue when she was unhappy. But after that point in time that elicited her compassion, to do it again, it looked like a fool.
How would she explain the move just now to Lu Xingxue?
Encourage her by saying "Don't be unhappy", "You have done well" and so on? But if Lu Xingxue is happy or not, she doesn't take the initiative to raise it, Jiang Ci shouldn't make her own claim.
That's not what she should do. Given her relationship with Lu Xingxue, occasionally giving gifts may not be a big deal, but such a deliberate diving to make her happy is a bit more than that.
If it hadn't been troublesome for Assistant Yao, if it wasn't that time is so tight today, Jiang Ci thought, he might have given up this impulsive thought.
Take a step back, will Lu Xingxue really be comforted by this? Still feel inexplicable and incomprehensible?
Jiang Ci became more embarrassed the more he thought about it. She held on to the washbasin, took a deep breath, and watched herself return to her expressionless appearance in the mirror. This is her safest armor. She told herself that she had done everything and there was nothing she could not face.
After leaving the shower, Jiang Ci saw Lu Xingxue the first time he went out.
"..." After a short pause, Jiang Ci walked past casually.
Lu Xingxue was waiting for her. Seeing her coming out, she greeted her and asked, "Is it okay to stay in the water for so long?"
Jiang Ci: "I have a diving license, and I find a place to dive every year, it's okay."
They didn't interfere with each other's itinerary. Jiang Ci went on vacation, and generally would not give Lu Xingxue extra notice when it was not too long. In her impression, she did not seem to have mentioned this to Lu Xingxue.
Lu Xingxue: "Ah~...it turns out to be like this."
The sense of freshness is like a gurgling spring. This person has known each other for more than three years, but he seems to have just met.
After Jiang Ci plucked her hair out of her ears, when she did this action, Lu Xingxue's eyes moved with her fingers, past her cheeks, and fixed on her ears.
The setting sun shot in from the window, against the light, Jiang Ci's ears were almost transparent, and bloodshots under the delicate skin could be seen.
Lu Xingxue discovered that there was a small red mole lying on Jiang Ci's ear.
Jiang Ci: "I just..."
As soon as she spoke, Lu Xingxue's eyes returned to her face. She waited intently for Jiang Ci to say something, but Jiang Ci frowned in embarrassment.
Lu Xingxue took a half step forward and stopped.
Jiang Ci was still trying to explain to Lu Xingxue a second to be less embarrassed, and the next second Lu Xingxue stretched out his arms to embrace her.
"Thank you." Lu Xingxue pressed against Jiang Ci's ear and said softly, "Today is a nice day."
Today is a pleasant day.
Any explanation is superfluous, Lu Xingxue understands everything!
This ceremonial hug is instantly divided, and the two smiled tacitly and unanimously.
They left the aquarium together, Lu Xingxue asked Jiang Ci: "If you remember correctly, you still owe me a meal?"
Jiang Ci didn't say anything immediately.
Lu Xingxue: "Forgot?"
Jiang Ci: "I really forgot if you didn't mention it."
Lu Xingxue stretched her eyebrows: "Then I invite you."
Jiang Ci: "..."
