mortals suffer gl

The waiter took them to a tatami room and left. After the three of them sat down, no one spoke, and the air was just so still.

Sitting next to Eva, Ji Ruhan's neck was so stiff that she was afraid that if she moved, she would disturb the stagnant air, but her eyes kept turning on Eva on the left and Pei Qing on the opposite side. The two of them seemed to be serious. She was ordering, but she felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was wrong specifically.

"Han, do you eat salmon?" Eva poked her head over while moving the menu to the middle.

Ji Ruhan was only paying attention to Pei Qing's movements, but he didn't notice that she and Eva were too close, so close that they could rub each other's cheeks just by turning their heads.

"Well, I can do both." Ji Ruhan casually perfunctory.

"What about Arctic shellfish? I remember you like eating it the most." Of course, Eva saw where Ji Ruhan's gaze was, and she was a little unhappy, but she couldn't say anything.

"Add mango and foie gras sushi." Pei Qing, who had been silent all this time, spoke suddenly, startled Ji Ruhan who was staring at her, and knocked over the teacup next to her with a trembling hand.

"Ah, I'm sorry." Ji Ruhan felt a burning pain on the back of her hand after being drenched in some hot tea, but she didn't care.

"Show me!" Eva reached out to grab Ji Ruhan's wet hand, but Ji Ruhan dodged it.

"It's okay, just flush it with water." Ji Ruhan said while covering the burned place with his other hand.

Eva refused, but still stretched out her hand to grab it. Ji Ruhan fell backwards, his scorched hand stretched out to the side, and the other held on to prevent himself from falling down: "I'm really fine..."

Suddenly, Ji Ruhan felt that her hand was placed in a warm palm, she turned her head and saw that her hand had been pinched by Pei Qing, and examined it carefully.

Ji Ruhan suddenly felt her heart stopped beating for a moment, and her eyes were glued to the clasped hands of the two, she couldn't react for a while.

When she regained her senses and wanted to pull her hand away, she found that Pei Qing's seemingly soft hand was holding onto her tightly. She didn't want to struggle too obviously, but she couldn't pull it away after secretly exerting force, so she just let it go. Pei Qing went.

Eva's expression on the side was a little bit bad, but Ji Ruhan didn't realize that Pei Qing was holding her whole heart firmly.

"I'm really fine, don't watch it." Pei Qing held on for too long, and Ji Ruhan couldn't help reminding him aloud.

"I'll take Miss Ji to the bathroom to take a shower." This sentence was not a question at all, before Pei Qing finished speaking, she pulled Ji Ruhan and walked towards the door.

Ji Ruhan was pulled suddenly, and her knee hit the table, with a muffled sound, covered by the music in the box, she frowned slightly.

Eva stared at the holding hands between Pei Qing and Ji Ruhan, with a little hostility in her eyes that she didn't realize, but she didn't speak, just quietly watched the two disappear through the door.

There was no one in the corridor, except for a few waiters passing by occasionally, Ji Ruhan hardly touched anyone else, she looked down at the hand being held by Pei Qing, her wrist being held could clearly feel the oppression, causing her to be The burnt part was connected to the part where the wrist was scratched, and there was pain in one piece.

Ji Ruhan tried to turn her wrist, trying to get it out, but after being discovered by Pei Qing, the strength on her wrist became stronger, and she felt that the bones under her skin were aching.

Dragging Ji Ruhan all the way to the bathroom, Pei Qing pulled Ji Ruhan behind him forward, turned on the faucet with his free hand, turned it to cold water with a "snap", and stuffed Ji Ruhan's hand under the cold water without delay.

The first time Ji Ruhan came into contact with the cold water, Ji Ruhan felt his reddened skin shrink, and his hands shrank back involuntarily, but Pei Qing insisted on not letting her back down, her eyes kept staring at the piece of water hidden under the water. skin.

After the short-term skin tightness, there is a refreshing feeling in the heart and spleen, and the place that was hot just now is not so uncomfortable now.

Ji Ruhan quietly raised her eyelids to look at Pei Qing, but met Pei Qing's eyes unexpectedly in the middle of the journey. She was stunned for a moment, and then immediately turned her head away from looking at Pei Qing.

When did she see it, why didn't I know? ...what to do?The heartbeat is so fast, will she find out...

Although she turned her head too far, Ji Ruhan could still feel Pei Qing's eyes wandering over her very sensitively.

Ji Ruhan could feel her pulse beating faster and faster, and kept "pulsing". She regretted why she agreed to Eva to accompany her today.

"Little..." Pei Qing said half a syllable before she swallowed it abruptly, and changed her words: "Miss Ji, is it still hurting?"

Ji Ruhan, who could only hear his own heartbeat, of course ignored the half a syllable that Pei Qing hadn't finished before, and even heard the last half of the sentence indistinctly: "Ah yes, oh... no no no! It doesn't hurt anymore .”

Pei Qing stared at the face that had changed a lot from two years ago, it was strange and familiar, but she was glad that Ji Ruhan was at least a little bit the same as before.

Eyelashes trembling slightly, Pei Qing's eyes looked at Ji Ruhan as if filled with stars, her mouth was a little dry, she pulled her hand awkwardly, wanting Pei Qing to let go.

I thought that Pei Qing would not let go this time, but I didn't expect that Pei Qing would let go soon this time. Once the warm touch disappeared, Ji Ruhan felt that a piece of his heart had disappeared, and he felt a little sad.

Rubbing his sore wrist, Ji Ruhan forced himself to calm down: "Thank you, Miss Pei, I'm fine, let's go back."

Pei Qing glanced lightly at Ji Ruhan's hand, and said, "Miss Ji, remember to apply ice when you go back."

Unlike being dragged by Pei Qing before, Ji Ruhan followed Pei Qing silently this time, knowing that Pei Qing couldn't see her now, her gaze became a little presumptuous, and she traced the other's back inch by inch. It wasn't her illusion, she felt that Pei Qing's back was thinner than two years ago, and she looked so thin that she needed someone to support her to stand firm.

The way back was longer than the way to come, Ji Ruhan followed quietly, her eyes entangled with Pei Qing, she thought she would just indulge once in a while.

After entering the private room, the weird atmosphere still permeated Ji Ruhan and Pei Qing, Eva said while eating the food, "Why did you go for so long?"

Ji Ruhan didn't say a word, but Pei Qing replied, "I'm worried about Miss Ji, so I asked her to charge her a few more times."

Eva raised her eyelids, glanced between the two lazily, and stopped talking.

The person who talked the most stopped talking, and the other two even more so. The meal was finished in such a quiet manner, and Ji Ruhan felt as stiff as a piece of iron.

"Eat well, let's go." Eva said immediately as soon as she put down her chopsticks.

Ji Ruhan was a little surprised, shouldn't Eva communicate with Pei Qing more, why does it feel like she wants to leave very much.

"Well, okay, I have something to do this afternoon. This is my phone number. Take it, Miss Ji." Pei Qing took out a notebook and a pen from her bag, quickly wrote down a series of numbers and handed them to Ji Ruhan: " Miss Lin, with my phone number, I won't do anything unnecessary."

Eva didn't speak, but kept staring at the piece of paper in Pei Qing's hand, thinking.

Ji Ruhan couldn't be more clear about the number on the paper. She pressed and deleted it repeatedly in the past two years, and she couldn't remember it more clearly, but now she can't show anything wrong, she took it with a smile and put it aside: "Okay."

Seeing her take the paper, Eva looked away and pursed her lips.

"Then let's go." There was a little impatience in Eva's tone.

"Okay." Ji Ruhan heard it, but she didn't think much about it.

Originally, Pei Qing planned to send both Eva and Ji Ruhan back, but Ji Ruhan was a bit cautious and refused to agree, but what surprised her was that Eva didn't agree. It stands to reason that with her previous work status, she should have started with the model now. , why there is no movement at all today.

"The two of you are careful when you go back. I'll wait here for my manager to pick me up." To avoid suspicion, Pei Qing pressed minus one in the elevator, and said so when Ji Ruhan and the others reached the first floor.

"Well, goodbye then, and you should be careful on the road." Ji Ruhan got out of the elevator, feeling his whole body relax, and even his tone became a little soft that was not noticeable.

"Goodbye." Pei Qing waved to Ji Ruhan and Eva as the elevator door slowly closed.

The elevator was completely closed, Ji Ruhan let out a breath, and turned to look at Eva.

"What?" Eva didn't look at her, but asked.

"It's nothing, I just think you're a little weird today."

"Wife will run away in the future, isn't it strange?" Eva murmured softly.

"What did you say?" Eva's voice was too low for Ji Ruhan to hear clearly.

"It's nothing, let's go back." Eva didn't want to talk too much to Ji Ruhan, so she reached out to stop the car when she got out of the building.

"Get on first." It's not the rush hour, and soon an empty car stopped.

"I'm in no hurry."

"If I tell you to get in, you get in." Eva was so rude that she stuffed Ji Ruhan into the taxi, and blocked her head.

"Then I'll go first, be careful on the road." Ji Ruhan couldn't hold back Eva, and didn't intend to be polite to her, so he closed the car door and left.

Eva watched the taxi carrying Ji Ruhan merge into the traffic, then turned her head and walked towards the building.
