Bring your bestie to play melon in the domineering love story

Jiang Ruoli pursed her red lips, her brows furrowed and then relaxed.

Staring at Tang Jiujiu's face, he sighed silently.

"What kind of rubbish tricks do you believe?" Jiang Ruoli was inexplicably angry. "Tang Jiujiu, let me tell you, anyone who can hang around in a bar is basically a shrewd person. He can wear a mask and say his face is disfigured, or pretend to be lame and say a customer broke his leg. Who can't play the victim? You just spent a small amount of money now. What if he makes more unreasonable demands, such as asking you to accompany him to do something, would you be so stupid as to follow him?"

"..."

Tang Jiujiu put her hands behind her back, leaning against the sink, and didn't say anything for a long time.

In this way, it seems that she was too trusting of the other party.

Who made her suddenly feel so compassionate?

"Ali, I was wrong." Tang Jiujiu pouted and acted coquettishly, "You are so fierce, are you angry with me?"

Jiang Ruoli looked at the pitiful Tang Jiujiu, who was her best friend after all, and sighed, "Okay, I didn't mean to be mean to you. It's just that we're new here and we're unfamiliar with the place. We have to be vigilant at all times. If we get tricked, we won't even have time to cry."

"Okay, okay, it's just..." Tang Jiujiu smiled at her. Her white teeth had two cute canine teeth, and the dimples at the corners of her mouth made her look cute and playful. "He asked me where I lived, but I didn't tell him. I just added him on WeChat."

"You even added me on WeChat?" Jiang Ruoli rolled her eyes speechlessly. "My dear Miss, do you want me to praise you?"

"You can praise me if you want, I don't mind!"

"Tang Jiujiu, you're really out of breath after hearing a few words from me, aren't you?"

"Ah~ Sister Ari, spare me!"

Jiang Ruoli reached out to twist her arm, but Tang Jiujiu dodged it with a smile.

The two best friends made a fuss at the bathroom door, but in the end they didn't see the so-called young hunk, so they simply went home.

not far away.

Shen Huaian and the masked man looked at the two people's backs as they left with dark eyes, almost staring through them.

"How is it?" Shen Huaian asked.

The masked man twitched his lips coldly, said nothing, and turned away.

......

The next day.

Seven o'clock in the morning.

The rain has just stopped.

Hefang Town is filled with lingering fog, looming black and white ancient buildings, tall and straight ancient trees, and peasant women hurriedly passing by with vegetable baskets. The streets are as quiet as a paradise.

Jiang Ruoli opened the redwood carved gold door and turned to say to Sister A Jiao, "Jiujiu has a cold. When she wakes up, make her some cold tea. Also, if she has an upset stomach, remind her to drink less coffee."

"Okay." Sister-in-law Gillian bent down to water the potted plants in the yard. When she heard this, she looked up and said, "It's only been a month, and Miss Tang's stomach problems have recurred three times. If it were me, she should see a Chinese medicine practitioner."

"You know she's not afraid of anything except the word 'doctor'. You can try to persuade her when the time comes." Jiang Ruoli shook her head and laughed. She took a few steps and said, "If I'm not back at noon, you don't have to wait for me to eat."

"it is good!"

A new antique painting shop has opened in Hefang Town. Jiang Ruoli plans to go and take a look and make some preparations for her own ancient painting restoration studio.

The bluestone road was a little damp after the rain, and occasionally a little bit of new green could be seen from the cracks.

Jiang Ruoli slowed down.

Compared to the cool temperature, she prefers the feeling of freshness after the rain, as if the rain has beaten the dust into the ground, and the air is mixed with the fragrance of soil, so that her previously depressed mood has become much brighter.

Head up.

Rainwater was dripping on the scattered building rubble, like pearls that had broken off the string, splashing one by one and seeping into the cracks in the stone road.

Jiang Ruoli suddenly remembered that when she was a child, her favorite thing to do on rainy days without her parents was to lie on the second-floor window and listen to the sound of rain falling on the steps, dripping, which soothed her restless heart.

Later, she met Tang Jiujiu, and her childhood lacking family affection was filled with her sincere smile, and she never felt the rainy day quietly again.

For nothing else.

Tang Jiujiu looks cute and silly, but is actually very noisy.

Except for sleeping, he liked to stick to her most of the time. Sometimes she was so nagging that he wanted to put a zipper on her little mouth. So during that time, the words she said to her the most were.

"Shh! Tang Jiujiu, be quiet!"

"Shut up!"

"Noisy!"

"Say another word, and I'll stuff your mouth with snacks!"

Of course, most of the time the two best friends dislike each other, fight with each other, and act more like two elementary school students when they are childish, but only they know how much they depend on each other.

Jiang Ruoli's thoughts were immersed in memories of the past and she didn't notice the man in front of her at all.

Until she was caught off guard and fell into his arms.

My mind suddenly became clear.

What catches your eye is the man's delicate half collarbone and slightly protruding Adam's apple, and when you look up again, you can see his superior jaw.

"Yes...I'm sorry!" Jiang Ruoli quickly took a step back.

"fine."

The deep voice carries a sense of familiarity.

Jiang Ruoli was silent for a few seconds before she remembered that this familiar voice was...

When I looked up, it was indeed him.

Shen Huaian.

"Good morning."

Shen Huaian nodded to Jiang Ruoli gentlemanly.

Jiang Ruoli glanced at her watch.

The bar's business hours are usually until three in the morning. Is Shen Huaian still awake or has he just woken up?

On second thought, he is the boss, so it is normal for him to have flexible work and rest schedule.

"Good morning."

Only then did Jiang Ruoli greet him politely.

When I looked up at him again, I found that the man was wearing a white shirt, black trousers, a pair of rimless glasses, and holding a picture album in his hand.

In the picturesque ancient town covered in mist and rain, there is a strong sense of talent from an aristocratic family.

Jiang Ruoli's heart couldn't help but pound just by looking at his face. It wasn't because he was handsome, but because his face was so similar to Huo Xingzhou's that she always felt that he was Huo Xingzhou in disguise.

Shen Huaian saw her resistance and smiled faintly, "Are you out for a walk so early in the morning?"

Jiang Ruoli took a deep breath, adjusted her mentality, and said with a smile, "Well, I heard that there is a new antique painting shop opened in town. I happen to have nothing to do, so I want to go and take a look."

"Antique painting shop?" Shen Huaian withdrew his gaze from Jiang Ruoli, turned back to look at the blue brick and black tile on the corner of the street, and replied with a smile, "Are you talking about that antique painting shop?"

Under the eaves of the ancient house hang quaint lanterns, which appear hazy after the rain. If you look closely, it seems that every corner is filled with a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.

Jiang Ruoli raised her eyebrows slightly, "Boss Shen is also interested?"

The bar and the ancient paintings, two products that transcend time. For some reason, Jiang Ruoli felt that there was no sense of incongruity when these two appeared on Shen Huaian at the same time.

However, what the other party said next surprised her even more.

He said...
