After wearing cannon fodder slag A, the sweet favorite heroine

awkward.

This is Xu Jinman's greatest feeling at the moment.

"..." Shen Shu should know that this is not hers.

Xu Jinman still explained: "It's not mine."

Besides this bag, Xu Jinman remembered that the blue box was still lying in the closet.

I want to say find a time to throw it away in the dead of night, after all, the things inside are shady, and after a delay, I forget about it.

I should be thankful that Cai Ying's hands were slow, and I started to look at the bottom layer first, and also thankful that she asked a question aloud after getting my permission.

After Xu Jinman finished speaking, he bent down, and first picked up the bundle of string on Shen Shu's feet back into his bag. This thing was thin and long, a bit like the rope skipping he used when he was a child.

Put it in the bag, and then go to pick up other things that will be embarrassing in your hands.

For example, the kind of small balls connected together.

"Do you like it too?" Shen Shu looked at Xu Jinman with lowered eyebrows.

Xu Jinman bent over, her hands were unnatural to pick up things, the touch of those objects was no stranger to her hands.She replied, "No."

She paused, and said honestly, "I can't say it's annoying."

Shen Shu actually asked again: "What is that?"

"..." Isn't it good for them to talk about this kind of topic in the middle of the night?

Xu Jinman: "It's just dividing people."

If these things were used for messing around, such as what Yuanzheng planned to do to Shen Shu that day, it would be disgusting. "If it's between a couple or between a wife and a wife, I personally don't think that's a bad thing."

Human nature itself is mixed with imperfection.

After explaining her thoughts to Shen Shu, she threw an uninflated balloon into her purse, and found that the people behind her did not respond for several seconds.

Suddenly reacted.

She had absolutely no hints of anything else in it.

"I mean……"

"what is that?"

Shen Shu looked at the foot of the bed and interrupted Xu Jinman's words.

Xu Jinman lowered his head sideways, and stretched out his long arms. The very thin black chains were mixed together and pulled out, with leather bracelets on both ends.The length is exactly the distance between the two parallel arms.

If a person is trapped, the maximum struggle distance is only so long.

Shen Shu stared at the thing in Xu Jinman's hand, the shape was very simple, and the purpose could be seen.

But she still took a second look.

Together with Xu Jinman's thin white hands.

In the past, she hated these things very much. She didn't know why, but now she didn't think much of it when Xu Jinman held it.

instead……

Shen Shu stops her thoughts.

She's been thinking a bit too much lately.

Xu Jinman grabbed the thing and put it in the bag, as if nothing happened: "Don't understand this kind of thing. When Cai Ying leaves tomorrow, I will throw it away at night."

Shen Shu stared at Xu Jinman's reaction, walked to the bed and sat down: "I don't understand, but Teacher Xu seems to understand it very well."

Xu Jinman heard the teasing, and said helplessly, "I've never played this before."

Shen Shu heard, "Are you sure?"

Xu Jinman pulled the zipper of the bag, opened the closet and put it in, remembering something about waking up in the hotel.

"..."

Xu Jinman gave a low cough, and opened the door by looking at Cai Ying.

Shen Shu was suddenly interested in these things, and she didn't expect to ask so many questions.

When she was in the hotel, she still remembered Shen Shu's disgusted expression when she looked at the box.

The light next door was still on until 11:[-], Xu Jinman could hear the voice in the hair when passing by, she returned to the bedroom, and said to Shen Shu: "I probably won't come here."

Lock the door.

"Go to sleep."

Xu Jinman took out the quilt from the cabinet, which was newly bought by Shen Shu before, and it was covered with a light blue quilt cover. When she carried it out, the smell from the quilt was squeezed into her breath, and there was a faint fragrance.

Even though it was autumn, she could smell the smell of spring.

Shen Shu turned her head and looked at the person who spread the quilt on the ground, her expression slowly faded.

Xu Jinman knelt on the ground and straightened the quilt, the hair on the side of his face stood up suddenly, he turned his head subconsciously, and was hit by the front of the pillow.

Goose down pillow, very soft and light, without any pain.

Holding the pillow in both hands, Xu Jinman stared at the person who had fallen asleep with his back facing her, and was stunned for a moment.

There was obviously a bit of resentment in this throw.

Looks like he's still angry.

The lights are off.

Xu Jinman folded his arms and hugged his chest. He was thinking about something, but the light from the phone screen was reflected on the ceiling.

she picked it up.

Lu Yun was still sending her messages at this point in time.

In fact, during the day, Lu Yun also sent her two messages, asking her if she was busy and if she had time to meet.

Since the time Xu Yincheng came home, her contact with Lu Yun has greatly decreased. In the past, Lu Yun would come to see her every now and then. Recently, she changed her mind for some reason and never came to see her.

Her life is much more peaceful.

It's not unusual for Lu Yun to see her, it just so happened at this time.

She just came back from Qucheng last night...

Lu Yun: 【Manman, are you asleep? 】

Xu Jinman: [No. 】

Lu Yun: [I will meet at noon tomorrow. I will come to your company to find you, or I can meet you outside. 】

Unlike during the day, this sentence does not mean to ask.

Seems like a must see.

Xu Jinman didn't play charades with her, but asked straightforwardly: [For the matter of Qucheng? 】

A few seconds later: [You know what I'm going to say?Did you start checking again? 】

Lu Yun: [Oh, I told you not to touch Qucheng again, why didn't you listen? 】

Xu Jinman: [I didn't check, I was passing by on a business trip. 】

Lu Yun would definitely not believe it, so this is just an excuse.

Lu Yun probably knew that she couldn't tell the truth, so she quickly asked: 【Did you do anything to Xu Lian? 】

Xu Jinman's fingertips slowly tapped out a sentence: [I just remembered that she seemed to have touched me when I was a child, so I couldn't hold back for a while. 】

She had a hunch that Lu Yun would not ask further questions.

Judging from the conversation heard in Xu Tao's study, Lu Yun didn't want her to bring up her childhood because she was guilty.

Sure enough, this time she waited for a while before Lu Yun replied.

Lu Yun: [Xu Lian called your father and was very angry. Your grandma also knew about it. 】

Lu Yun: [But don't worry, my mother will take care of you at home, you just need to take care of yourself. 】

Lu Yun: 【Rest early, don't stay up late. 】

If it was her at the beginning, these words would have moved her enough, but now she knows that every word Lu Yun sent was carefully planned.

It was a gentle and loving trap.

Xu Jinman simply replied.

Turning off the phone, the eyes fell into darkness again, and the light from the floor-to-ceiling windows came in through the gaps in the curtains, like a thin layer of mist.

Covering the haze of the Xu family.

Chen Yue's recorded image has been copied, and she has to take a closer look tomorrow to jump out of her personal perspective, and maybe she can find something again.

Xu Jinman turned over and rested her elbows under her head.

She couldn't see the person on the bed, but she could feel Shen Shu's steady breathing.

Unconsciously, she remembered Shen Shu's slightly flustered words before leaving the small town of Qucheng: Go, I don't want to be here.

What did Shen Shu dream about?Scared like that?

How to make her forget about the things in the car?

After thinking about it, he closed his eyes in a daze. Just when he was about to fall asleep, Xu Jinman felt that his steady breathing suddenly changed.

Shen Shu felt that she was standing on a huge block of ice, and her whole body was filled with chill.

It was pitch black all around, and she desperately opened her eyes——

It was a quadrangle, square and square, surrounded by high walls, and under the black tiles, you could clearly see the spread spider webs.

The windows are closed.

The front door is black and the two doors each have a silver pull tab.

There is nothing in the yard, there is a water tank in the corner of the wall, the water tank is very big, it can probably accommodate an adult.

There is also a swing on the left.

No one is on it, it just sways slightly with the wind, pushing and pulling like an invisible ghost.

She stood there, not daring to move, only shivering from the cold, her heart was terrified, as if she had a premonition of something coming.

Her feet were shaking too.

But she couldn't speak, she couldn't say a word, as if her mouth was gagged.

Footsteps approached from behind again, like a demon descending.

She tried desperately to escape, but the moment she grabbed the door, she was strangled and pulled back.

Painful, suffocating.

One after another.

She whimpered, wanting to beg someone to save her...

Suddenly, a pair grabbed her and pulled her out of the devil's hand. The man took her and ran along the long street like crazy.

There are many pedestrians coming and going, in a hurry.

They ran so fast that they were almost out of breath, as if fleeing for their lives.

She couldn't see that person's face clearly, but only knew that the hand holding her was very comfortable and soft, which made her feel safe.

Shen Shu opened her eyes drowsily.

The sky outside the window is bright, reminiscent of clear and peaceful dew.She has returned to reality, and has completely left her nightmare.

There was a tight and heavy feeling in the palm of her hand, she turned her head slightly, and saw Xu Jinman lying on the side of the bed, with her face pressed against her arm, and the other hand holding hers.

Xu Jinman's sleeping face is very good-looking, without the oppression brought by the phoenix eyes, it has an extra sense of tranquility and blooming season.

Probably because her fingertips moved, Xu Jinman pinched her fingers unconsciously twice.

Even in sleep, also remember to comfort her.

Shen Shu looked at Xu Jinman, her anger gradually softened like a punctured balloon.

I don't know how long she has been sitting like this, she would rather sit so uncomfortable than go to bed.

Shen Shu remembered what Xu Jinman said to take her time, and she naturally agreed.

but--

Xu Jinman, take your time, it's too slow.

It was past eight o'clock in the morning.

As soon as Cai Ying went out, she saw Xu Jinman coming out of the bedroom rubbing her waist.

"Tsk tsk." Cai Ying: "Young people don't know how to be temperate, and they will suffer when they are old."

Xu Jinman: "..."

She should really tell Shen Shu that if Cai Ying and Tong Jia get along well in the future, their thinking will sooner or later be distorted.

Xu Jinman was sore and didn't bother to quarrel, and didn't have time to make breakfast, so the three of them had a simple meal with bread and milk.

Shen Shu came in to change clothes, Cai Ying whispered: "You haven't coaxed well all night?"

This is very ambiguous.

Xu Jinman gave her a look: "Eat your meal."

Cai Ying: "Oh."

This sigh is also very ambiguous.

Xu Jinman couldn't bear it anymore, and sneered: "Your dad and I actually meet occasionally, does he know that you plan to fall in love with your make-up teacher?"

Cai Ying: "...Xu Jinman, you can't afford it."

Xu Jinman lowered his head, finished the last bite of bread, sat on the floor for half the night, and now he was feeling unwell somewhere. "Grind it again, and wash the dishes by yourself later."

Cai Ying: "Cut, you're not childish."

That being said, Gulu drank the milk in the cup in two sips and didn't give himself a chance to wash the dishes.

Xu Jinman got up to clean up the dishes. Cai Ying looked at her expression and was silent for a moment: "Is it really so serious?"

Cai Ying asked: "Did you do something to be sorry for Shushu? She is usually easy to coax."

Xu Jinman said no.

She is not cheerful, so she can't make a relaxed expression.

Cai Ying walked over, leaning her elbows on the podium, and asked in a low voice, "Xu Jinman, do you know how to ride a horse?"

"?"

Cai Ying thought she was stupid: "A horse, a horse in the racetrack."

Xu Jinman: "...Yes."

She felt that she was six or seven years older than Cai Ying, and sometimes she couldn't keep up with this little girl's thoughts.

After she finished speaking, Cai Ying ran away a few times, and came back soon: "My friend opened a racecourse next to my villa. Shushu has always wanted to learn before, but she didn't find a chance. Take her there." .”

Cai Ying held a racecourse gold card in her hand.

Generally, this kind of place is a membership system, and the number of members is limited, and the number of guests received every day is also limited.

Similar to a private golf course.

She hasn't been there for a long time since time travel.

While the two were talking, the bedroom door opened from the inside. Cai Ying threw the card on the stage and turned to talk to Shen Shu.

Xu Jinman put the bowl on the drainer, glanced at Jinka at the racecourse, and smiled.

Well, it seems that last night's big meal and bag were not in vain.

She really didn't know that Shen Shu was still interested in riding horses.

When the three of them went downstairs, Cai Ying mentioned that they would watch a movie with Han Ling tonight.

Xu Jinman asked with a smile: "Is that done?"

Cai Ying: "How is it possible, I am reserved."

Xu Jinman said: "Wait for her to speak first?" She actually subconsciously meant, what if she doesn't speak?

Cai Ying didn't hear it, and said: "What kind of alpha is an alpha if he doesn't take the initiative!"

Xu Jinman: "..."

Not talking about her, but offended.

Cai Ying was picked up by the driver, while Xu Jinman and Shen Shu drove to the office building together.

Xu Jinman had his own elevator, went upstairs from the basement, and met other employees in several buildings.

On the way, two girls called Shen Shu's name very excitedly.

"Shu Bao Shu Bao! Can you sign me? I like you very much!"

Shen Shu paused, and reached out to take the pen and paper opposite her.

Xu Jinman was in a strange mood on the sidelines. Although Shen Shu's popularity has been quite high recently, she seemed to really feel it only now.

The person next to him will really become the big star that everyone is looking forward to one day.

"Mr. Xu, I really like you too! I'm your CP fan, and I sign in every day!" The girl smiled brightly.

Xu Jinman nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you."

Getting on the elevator with Shen Shu, Xu Jinman turned his head. Shen Shu was wearing a mask, and her peach blossom eyes without makeup were fresh and bright.

Xu Jinman asked: "Do you know our super talk?"

"Well, I know." Shen Shu said, "What about you?"

Xu Jinman: "I know too."

Of course I know, that is, I have nothing to say, just want to see if Shen Shu will talk to her, if she does, it means most of the anger from the previous two days has subsided.

Xu Jinman sent the person to the door before turning around and going to the office area on the other side.

Today Saturday, more than half of the people are resting, and the office area is very empty.

This busy work lasted for a long time. In the afternoon, Xu Jinman took a massage device and put it on her neck. She rested for a while, thinking of going to check on Shen Shu's situation.

Tong Jia just came up with a cake and handed it to Xu Jinman.

Xu Jinman raised his eyebrows: "What kind of hospitality?"

Tong Jia: "It's not for you, it's for Viola."

Xu Jinman: "...you?"

"Mr. Xu, why are you thinking like this now?" Tong Jia shrugged: "She helped me with my things. She also helped me when I called the police last time. I told her to treat her to afternoon tea. I happened to see that this cake is good. , just bought it. You can give it to her for me."

Xu Jinman said 'Oh': "Okay."

"The super talk about Shushu and Xia Chun has been suppressed."

Xu Jinman said, "Just press it down."

Tong Jia took a step closer: "To be honest, are you simply afraid of making things worse, or are you a little jealous?"

Xu Jinman glanced at Tong Jia, seeing the gossip on his face became more determined, and pulled his lower lip: "Why are you jealous?"

"Oh, it's fine if you don't get jealous." Tong Jia hugged her chest and stood outside the glass with her: "Then look, take a good look, and don't blink."

Xu Jinman was puzzled and didn't answer.

She passed Tong Jia and looked in through the glass door. There was no one in the large office area outside.

Shen Shu seems to be playing without makeup today, her face is a little pale, and she is coming out of the office inside.

Suddenly his expression changed slightly, and he supported the desk next to him, as if it was on the verge of falling.

It was also at this moment that a beautiful figure rushed to her and held her up.

Xu Jinman looked at the picture inside the glass.

In the next second, the character played by Xia Chun gently embraced Shen Shu in his arms.

Xu Jinman frowned slightly.

Tong Jia didn't mind watching the excitement: "Mr. Xu, let me explain to you. This part is about the story of the reunion between the heroine and her first love."

Xu Jinman: "..."

Xu Jinman sat on the leather chair for a while, a little uneasy. She took a deep breath and focused on the report again.

'Next quarter...'

In Xu Jinman's mind, Xia Chun hugged Shen Shu, and Shen Shu closed her eyes slightly on her shoulder.

In fact, it was a simple hug, the kind often seen in TV dramas.

Xu Jinman panicked like drinking a needle in a sip of water.

Suddenly, Xu Jinman somehow flashed a letter - X.

Shen Shu and Xia Chun have been in love for more than two years. Could the tattoo on Shen Shu's collarbone be Xia Chun...?

It is not impossible.

But Xu Jinman found that this possibility made her feel very uncomfortable.

Even a little bad.

He tapped his forehead with the back of his finger, moved from his forehead to his cheek, propped his elbows on the desk, and finally couldn't sit still and stood up.

Holding the swivel chair and turning it around a few times, looking at the chair, Xu Jinman remembered how Shen Shu sat on it that day.

Xu Jinman was inexplicably a little irritable.

Viola knocked on the door with the latest construction report of the site, and saw Xu Jinman turn around from the window expressionlessly.

"Tong Jia gave it to you."

Xu Jinman tapped the cake on the table with his chin.

Viola was startled, then picked up the bag, nodded and smiled and said, "Okay, then I'm going out first if there's nothing else to do."

Seeing Viola walk to the door, Xu Jinman suddenly called out and said, "Go and buy something for me."

"Alright Mr. Xu."

in the afternoon.

Shen Shu came out of the bathroom and stood by the sink to wash her hands.

Xu Jinman's office building is well decorated, the space is spacious, and even the bathroom is very bright.The moment she finished washing her hands and getting ready, Shen Shu suddenly felt very uncomfortable.

Like being stared at by something.

It is a gaze.

Shen Shu turned her head and glanced around, just as Tong Jia came out of the bathroom and asked, "What's wrong? What are you looking at?"

Shen Shu adjusted her breathing and said in silence for a few seconds, "It's okay."

Maybe she is too sensitive.

Walking to the shooting area with Tong Jia, and walking to the middle of the office areas on both sides, Tong Jia paused for a while, then went back.

Shen Shu followed her gaze.

Xu Jinman and Viola stood at the desk not far from the tea room.

Looking down at another document, Xu Jinman couldn't see clearly with his back turned, and Viola had a generous smile on her face.

They all seem to belong to the shrewd and capable type, but the two of them stand together, and the picture is not in the slightest.

"Although Viola seems to have a good character now, you should be vigilant." Tong Jia said: "No matter how you look at this Viola, she looks a bit like the kind who likes AA's strong love."

Shen Shu: "..."

This is very similar to what Cai Ying would say. Xu Jinman may be right. If Tong Jia and Cai Ying are mixed together, neither of them can have a good idea.

"Let's go."

As soon as Shen Shu finished speaking, Tong Jia saw Viola on the opposite side suddenly raised her eyes and glanced over. Tong Jia immediately showed a professional smile, completely unaware that she had just mentioned her behind her back a second ago.

Tong Jia also politely raised her hand to say hello.

Viola smiled, and probably told Xu Jinman that they were here.

Then Xu Jinman turned around and looked at them.

However, Xu Jinman and Shen Shu's eyes were blocked by the passing employees and they did not bump into each other, so they did not see each other's expressions.

Shen Shu and Tong Jia returned to the rest area.

Shen Shu held a transparent water cup with a red lid, which contained warm water. Seeing that she had drunk most of it, Tong Jia stretched out her hand and said, "Is it cold? I'll get you some hot water."

Each floor of this office building has an area dedicated to the tea room, which is divided into two rooms.

The crew and half of Xu Jinman's company on the opposite side.

Shen Shu shook her head: "No, I'm going to make some lemon slices, just for a walk."

This is the case with filming workplace dramas, basically all in one place, and there is not much opportunity for activities.

After a whole day, wearing high heels will be a little swollen.

Shen Shu took a small box containing lemon slices, and walked to the tea room with a water glass.

There were also several ordinary actors of the production team queuing up, and they were surprised to see Shen Shu coming over, even though they said that the tea rooms on both sides should not be mixed.

But isn't this company her wife's?Why do I still have to come here to pick up the water? I was puzzled, and hurriedly said to let her pick it up first.

Shen Shu declined, not in a hurry.

Suddenly, with a tight wrist, Shen Shu's scalp felt numb, and she wanted to shake off her conditioned reflex, but was turned back slightly.

Facing Xu Jinman's delicate and gentle Danfeng eyes.

Xu Jinman lowered his eyebrows and asked, "What are you doing here?"

There was a sound of breathing all around, and usually I could only see Xu Jinman from a distance when I was commuting to and from get off work, but now I was shocked by his aura when I saw it up close.

But she only looked at Shen Shu.

That high-cold temperament softened in an instant.

Shen Shu breathed a sigh of relief invisibly: "Take the water."

As soon as the words fell, the body followed the slightly urgent strength of the wrist, and took a step forward. Xu Jinman pulled her and pushed her away from the empty tea room next door.
