Chapter 28: Chapter 28

After the first snow, the weather continued to clear.
Jiang Ci participated in the tuning of a heavyweight piano competition, so he was on business this week. She received a call from Lu Xingxue that evening when the award was announced.
"Mom didn't know that you were on a business trip and sent a lot of dumplings." Lu Xingxue's words were mixed with the sound of pots and bowls colliding.
Jiang Ci stood on the steps outside the concert hall and asked her, "What are you doing? Get dumplings?"
Lu Xingxue couldn't help laughing: "Yes. Mom also adjusted the sauce. I was not hungry, but it smelled too fragrant, so I cooked a few.... Are you coming back tomorrow?"
Jiang Ci: "The plane tomorrow afternoon."
Several contest judges who are familiar with Jiang Ci came out of the concert hall, met her, and eagerly invited: "Director Jiang, really don't go to the dinner party? You are behind the scenes these days."
Jiang Ci turned around, took off the phone, and greeted them: "I'm really sorry this time, you guys eat well."
Judge: "Then we will get together again when we have the opportunity."
Jiang Ci nodded and promised, and when he moved the receiver to his ear again, he listened to Lu Xingxue asking her: "Aren't you with them?"
Jiang Ci: "Wen Nian came to talk about the project and has already made an appointment with her."
The dumplings were tumbling in the boiling water, and Lu Xingxue took a long time to turn off the fire: "...Speaking of Mr. Wen, my mother said that the skiing time has not been set, and Aunt Ning has not given her a letter.
Jiang Ci: "Didn't they say it last time?"
Lu Xingxue: "I don't know, that's how my mother told me today."
Soon after the conversation between the two was over, Jiang Ci saw Wen Nian's car approaching. She walked down the steps, and assistant Xiao Chen chased up from behind: "Director Jiang, have you gone?"
Jiang Ci: "Well, the car is here."
Xiao Chen looked at her sight, laughed a few times, and suddenly ran over in three and two steps, knocking on the car window: "Mr. Lu! Our Director Jiang has been tired for many days. You have to treat her well tonight! "
Jiang Ci: "..."
When the car window came down, Wen Nianchong Xiao Chen nodded, "Hello."
"..." Xiao Chen was at a loss: "I'm sorry, sorry, I thought it was Mr. Lu who came here... Hey, what is my brain, Director Jiang, you said you made an appointment, I thought it was your wife... "
"It's okay." Jiang Ci pulled the car door and sat in, exhorting her: "Go to the dinner party, don't be late."
Xiao Chen blushed: "I see, you guys go slowly."
As the wheels turned, Wen Nian seemed to smile, "Why, does Lu always pick you up?"
At first glance, her expression was a deliberate joke, Jiang Ci shook his head and sighed: "You are enough, but my assistant has a bigger personality."
Wen Nian controlled the steering wheel: "Let's talk, I've been tired for so many days, and Mr. Lu is not there. How can I reward you?"
"...Coming?" Jiang Ci said and smiled.
The two went to the Western restaurant ordered in advance in Wennian, and the atmosphere and taste were very good. After eating, they walked slowly along the lively pedestrian street. The weather is not cold, Wen Nian sees the time is still early, and asks Jiang Ci: "Are there any places you want to go?"
Outside the pedestrian street is the night park. You can meet a small vendor who sells luminous hair bands after a few steps. A vendor is peddling to a couple passing by: "Handsome guy, buy a hair band for your girlfriend and take pictures in the park. So cute and beautiful."
His arms were covered with various styles of headbands, Jiang Ci glanced inadvertently, and then quickly.
"It's too stupid, I don't want it." The girl hugged her boyfriend and refused.
At the end of the pedestrian street, the tall Ferris wheel in the park is full of colorful lights, which is particularly eye-catching in the night. Jiang Ci slowed down: "Wen Nian, sit on the Ferris wheel?"
Wen Nian looked up, "Then go."
"Two beauties, go and buy the right hairbands on the Ferris wheel, and pay attention to the atmosphere." The vendor heard only a few words and took the initiative to come over and show them the hairbands on their arms.
Wen Nian asked Jiang Ci: "Do you want it?"
Jiang Ci said indifferently, "Choose and see."
Vendor: "What style do beauties like? This street has the most styles here, Mickey's Minnie, cat ears rabbit ears..."
Jiang Ci picked up a small crown and gestured to Wen Nian's head: "Is there any atmosphere?"
The vendor gave a thumbs up: "That must be."
Jiang Ci laughed, and Wen Nian also smiled. Jiang Ci gave her the crown and drew another antler. Before the antlers were put on, the vendor clapped his hands vigorously: "This is good! Beautiful girl, special for you, ah, so beautiful... It's cheaper, one 20, two 40, you sincerely want it, give me 35!"
The night park was full of people, the Ferris wheel slowly turned, and the ground moved further and further away.
The red luminous antlers were reflected on the cockpit glass. Jiang Ci admired the night view below for a while, then turned to ask Wen Nian, who was sitting opposite, "Have we ever sat on the Ferris wheel together before?"
Wen Nian fiddled with the crown headband on his hand: "No."
Jiang Ci remembered what Lu Xingxue said: "My mother asked your mother to go skiing, you know?"
Wen Nian replied after a few seconds: "I know, I listened to her."
Jiang Ci: "Aunt Ning hasn't decided yet?"
Wen Nian: "I'm not by her side, she is timid, she wants to go for a while and dare not go, she can't make up her mind."
Jiang Ci: "Then you encourage her. Lu Xingxue in Country S has already arranged it. You don't have to worry about boarding, lodging and traveling, let alone my mother."
The Ferris wheel rose to the highest point, and the lights were endless.
Wen Nian could see that Jiang Ci sincerely wanted her to encourage her mother to visit S country.
His eyes fell on the red antler headband.
"Good." Wen Nian said.
The next day, at the airport of City G, Jiang Ci and other checked luggage came out, and Xiao Chen on the side was entangled in the oolong incident of the wrong person yesterday: "The more I think about it, the more embarrassing it gets. I'm sorry, Director Jiang, I blamed me for being too rash."
This is not a big deal, and it is not worth repeating apologies. Jiang Ci comforted Xiao Chen: "It's really okay, that's my sister who grew up together."
Xiao Chen is still blaming himself: "Director Jiang, I have embarrassed you TT"
Jiang Ci: "No. Don't even think about it."
Jiang Ci's indifferent tone was convincing, and Xiao Chen reluctantly stopped the topic.
After the luggage was delivered, Xiao Chen graciously moved Jiang Ci's luggage off the conveyor belt, and then looked back for his own: "By the way, Director Jiang, how do you go back later, will Mr. Lu pick it up?"
Jiang Ci: "..."
How could Lu Xingxue come? ? ?
Jiang Ci patted Xiao Chen on the shoulder. He wanted to say something, but gave up: "Let's go."
Xiao Chen chased her in her footsteps, with great interest: "The first time I saw Mr. Lu at the Star Conservatory of Music, I really thought she was a celebrity, too beautiful and temperamental! Later other people in the company said It’s the President of Forest, I just remembered! All kinds of gossips on the Internet say that she is super nice and gentle, Director Jiang, you are so happy! The last hot search was really sweet to me in the middle of the night... !!!"
Xiao Chen is like a girl who has succeeded in chasing a star, with the back of his hand touching his face, the more excited he is. Jiang Ci is infected by her emotions, and her lips curled up unconsciously.
The two dragged their luggage out one after the other, Xiao Chen was chatting around Jiang Ci, and suddenly he was taken aback as he said, and he slammed Jiang Ci's sleeves: "Director Jiang! It's Mr. Lu! Mr. Lu is here. There! Hey, I knew Mr. Lu would definitely come to pick you up!"
Jiang Ci rolled his eyes and fell on Lu Xingxue through the crowd.
She is too dazzling and eye-catching, standing some distance from the airport, black hair and red lips, elegant and dignified.
Lu Xingxue smiled and waved, walking away.
Xiao Chen: "Hey, kill the dog."
Jiang Ci: "..."
"Welcome home." Lu Xingxue looked at Jiang Ci. Jiang Ci couldn't hide his inner surprise, his eyes burnt and said: "Why are you free to pick up the plane?"
Lu Xingxue: "The sky has changed outside, I'm afraid it will rain."
"Oh." Jiang Ci turned and introduced Xiao Chen to Lu Xingxue: "This is Xiao Chen, my assistant."
Lu Xingxue stretched out her hand: "Hello."
Xiao Chen was flattered: "I am good, I am good, and you are good, President Lu."
Lu Xingxue laughed: "Come with us, where are you going? We will send you off."
Xiao Chen said without hesitation: "I don't deserve it!"
Lu Xingxue: "..."
Xiao Chen hurriedly shook his hand: "I mean no, um, someone came to pick it up! ... Maybe something is delayed. I'll call to remind you. You don't need to worry about me, go back!"
Xiao Chen dragged his luggage away a few steps, and hurriedly took out his mobile phone.
When they were talking, Jiang Ci kept holding back a smile. At this time, Lu Xingxue asked her uncertainly: "...Then we go first?"
Jiang Ci smiled and nodded: "Let's go."
It was already dark when I got home, and the scent of food wafted out of the kitchen. I didn't know what Aunt Zhuang was doing delicious. The temperature and humidity in the room are pleasant. Jiang Ci walked through the living room with luggage. She passed the flowers in a tall bottle, and passed by the swimming fish happily spitting bubbles in the fish tank...
The light is warm, this is her home.
Jiang Ci turned her head on the stairs, Lu Xingxue just turned out of the kitchen. She met Jiang Ci's gaze and smiled: "You can take a shower first, and dinner will take a while."
An unfamiliar warm current lingered in Jiang Ci's heart, which moved her and felt relieved.
The dinner prepared by Aunt Zhuang was very rich, and Jiang Ci was overwhelmed. After dinner, she watched TV and digested in the living room. Lu Xingxue moved her notebook and sat next to her to deal with company affairs.
Jiang Ci: "Won't you bother you?"
Lu Xingxue stared at the computer screen: "No."
Jiang Ci quietly turned down the TV volume, and then quietly turned it up again after a while, Lu Xingxue did not respond, it was really not enough to bother him.
She is working hard, perhaps because she is wearing glasses, the metal frame dilutes her tenderness, and there is a faint sharp flow between her brows. He breathed very lightly, his red lips pressed slightly, and he looked a little serious.
The phone rang suddenly, and Jiang Ci was taken aback. Only then did he realize that he was seeing Lu Xingxue in a trance, and hurriedly looked away.
Lu Xingxue picked up the phone, and it was an unfamiliar call. Most people don't have her private number, so she can connect without thinking.
Not knowing what the other party said, Lu Xingxue let go of the computer, and after listening for another half a minute, she said "OK" and then hung up the phone.
Jiang Ci studied TV seriously, and Lu Xingxue stood up: "Jiang Ci, I have something to do. Let me go out now."
Jiang Ci changed the station: "Oh, good."
The car passed through in the winter night with dark clouds surging above its head.
Ten minutes later, the car lights illuminated the white plaque on the blue background of the police station. Lu Xingxue got out of the car and walked in. The police station was brightly lit, leaning on the outer wall of the building, stomping because of the cold, and hearing the sound of high heels landing, he looked up and saw her.
"Come here pretty fast." Tong Zhenni stood up straight.
