This urban forest made of reinforced concrete stands silently as always. The years have not washed away its inorganic coldness, but it is barely dyed with a layer of warm color under the afterglow of the evening sun and the reflection of the sky.

Like the cold elite who wore gold-rimmed glasses in the past, rational and ruthless, he took off his glasses and showed a trace of tiredness when he rubbed his temples, which finally gave him a touch of humanity.

——Human touch.

This stuff doesn't always work in big cities.

Seeing that the sun was setting and the sky was getting darker, the white-collar workers in the office building filed out of the conference room, packed up their things, and considered whether to commute for an hour to return home, or choose to stay in this city gradually lit up by neon lights Find a corner that no one cares about, and settle the dinner alone.

The lights of the management upstairs were still on, and after an unknown amount of time, a young woman walked silently through the long corridor full of floor-to-ceiling windows, stepping on her high heels.This office building ranks among the top five in the entire city based on its height alone. On this floor, you can easily overlook half of the city. Through the transparent glass windows, you can easily enjoy the magnificent sunset or sunset. Out——Maybe the designer himself has such a romantic idea, imagining those industry elites who swear at Fang Qiu, in their spare time after work, looking up and fascinated by this magnificent natural beauty.

But these painstaking efforts are destined to fail.People often pass by in a hurry, well-dressed men and women even take the time to look through the documents in their hands when passing here, while others, when passing here, seem to be escaping from a disaster—or Say, escape UV rays.

Today is no exception.

She was wearing a foggy blue suit, the collar of her shirt was unbuttoned, and a little silver light could be seen faintly—it was probably a silver necklace, the cuffs were rolled up to the elbow, and she wore a watch on one wrist.The controller of this floor stepped on the last corner of the sky today, held the car keys, walked here without looking sideways, and pressed the golden elevator down button.

The deep purple, almost smoky sky behind her was reflected on the silver elevator door, like a huge evil mystery, but she was unmoved at all, like a cold-blooded monarch, with indifference to this world.

The numbers jump gradually.She glanced at her phone during this gap, and accidentally saw a text message from Cen Zong.

[It's downstairs from you. 】

She looked at the text message from half an hour ago blankly for a while, until the screen went dark again, and she didn't give any reply.

The elevator has arrived.

She walked in, pressed the down button, and saw a somewhat deformed figure of herself on the closed elevator door.

A cold, unfeeling face that is usually used as a villain in TV dramas.

Cen Zong did not drive his usual Aston Martin today, but drove a slightly low-key Maybach.

Guan Xi habitually opened the rear door, and just as she was about to step up, she got a blank stare from the driver. The other party's dissatisfaction was beyond words. Guan Xi had no doubt that if she just sat in like this, he would dare to honk the horn for a long time without hesitation.

"You still use me as a special car driver?" the other party said.

Guan Xi closed the rear door and sat in the co-pilot.

The man beside him who was living and going back finally blew a whistle in satisfaction, and instructed her to fasten her seat belt while driving the engine.

Guan Xi watched the Maybach blend into the traffic, and then calmly said the first sentence of the day: "Did you change the car?"

Cen Zong seemed to have been trampled on his tail, with a stiff expression, and said mockingly: "...you are really familiar with social rules."

"Grandpa Cen locked you up?" She turned to look at him.

Fa Xiao's face was expressionless, and he didn't want to talk about this topic: "..."

Guan Xi didn't care either, she crossed her arms and closed her eyes slightly: "I thought you came here today just to let me say something nice to you."

——It’s not good to grow up together.The other party really knows you too well, and you can't hide anything from her.

Cen Zong slandered, and wanted to continue to struggle: "What you said, can't I see that you are so pitiful alone, send you some love and invite you to eat home-cooked food?"

He was answered with a particularly cold glance.

Cen Zong raised his hands in surrender: "...Of course, if while eating this home-cooked meal, you can disregard the previous suspicions and condescend to help me rescue my Xiaohong from the cold palace, I will be even happier."

"...Little Red?"

Cen Zong looked puzzled: "My car, haven't you seen it before?"

Guan Xi was silent. She closed her eyes, turned on her phone, and browsed today's news.

It was already very dark, and the world illuminated by the neon lights looked a bit flakey, with lights of various colors falling from the front windshield, and the small mobile phone screen was like a small fluorescent square. She looked at it for a while, and turned it off without any interest. cell phone.

—Maybe she needs to give herself a day off.

Guan Xi thought, very rare.In fact, she has not had a holiday for a long time.It seems that the last holiday is the day of Chinese New Year - only one day.

What happened that day?

Anyway, she seemed to have drank a little wine, so even her memory was a blurred shadow. Guan and Lu were sitting together, which was a rare gathering. She felt very happy for no reason, so she drank a little more, and then... …

The darkest moment of this flashy city seemed to evoke some memories that should be dusty. She felt that she was like a poor person who had fallen into a nightmare at this moment. Her consciousness was divided into two halves. all of these.

"So," her face fell into darkness, "what do you want from me today?"

"..." Cen Zong was silent for a while, "Well, I don't understand what you mean."

"Don't be stupid," was all she answered.For some reason, his nerves were tense, and one hand unconsciously put on the wrist of the other, touching the cold metal case of the watch.

Cen Zong's side face looked a little uncertain in the time: "... Well, it's actually nothing."

Guan Xi didn't speak, waiting for his hesitant next sentence.

"... That's it," he turned the steering wheel, "Lu Yun seems to be back today."

Her heart skipped a beat!

--really!

She pressed her jaw hard and closed her eyes: "She's back, so you came here to ask me to avoid her?"

"Otherwise?" Cen Zong showed a horrified expression, "You don't really want to confront her, do you? I said... why bother, anyway, you two have... had a good time before, there is no need for you to die! Even if Regardless of the feelings of the two families, think about the group of guys who are watching the show, are you willing to be the protagonist of their gossip after dinner?"

Unexpectedly, one sentence would lead to such a long paragraph, Guan Xi couldn't help touching the watch again.Unlike women of the same age, she often does not have too many decorations on her body. She only wears such a Vacheron Constantin watch on her hand, not even a ring.

It stands to reason that Guan Xi should have been used to these inferences for no reason - people always tend to think that the relationship between her and Lu Yun is going to be bad, from relatives to friends, and maybe even say no Qing's outsiders.

She should have gotten used to it, but this time, for some reason, there was still a wave of anger in her heart.

Maybe it's because of the tiredness all over her body, maybe it's because of the determination in Cen Zong's tone - maybe there are deeper reasons: Not long ago, to be more precise, it was about Lu Yun's last time back, her graduation ceremony After that, the two of them did have a little... small, very small conflict.

And they do...

— into a cold war.

She pursed her lips, the lines of her face were tense, and she resisted the discomfort in her heart. Under Cen Zong's frequent look back, she maintained that unmoved face: "Drive your car."

She closed her eyes, leaned back on the seat, but quietly held her mobile phone: Will she call?

She thought deeply in the dark: ... Anyway, I can absolutely, definitely, absolutely hold back.

As soon as he left the door, Guan Xi's face turned cold.If it was a mild spring day in the house just now, now it is winter.Cen Zong looked at her frowning, aware of the anxiety surging under this delicate face.

——Perhaps the anxiety had already started in the car, but she had been hiding it without leaving a trace until now.As he thought about it, he couldn't help but sigh the impact of this unresolved love on Guan Xi.

Yes, it is love.Different from those who eat melons who really know nothing and completely guess, Cen Zong deeply believes that the two people broke up in love, which led to today's king not seeing the king.

If it's just an ordinary relationship, it's okay. After the breakup, the road will go to the sky. Guan Xi and Lu Yun's relationship is really mixed with too many factors, so that even if they break up, they can't be completely broken, let alone Guan Xi hasn't completely let go of Lu Yun... Sigh, it's really miserable.

...So, the grass beside the nest is really not edible.

Having come to such a conclusion with lingering fear, Cen Zong glanced at Guan Xi with sympathetic eyes, and patted her on the shoulder comfortingly: "...to the bar?"

He is still willing to accompany the lovelorn Fa Xiao to drink dull wine.

However, his rare tenderness of a strong man has not been cherished as it should be - Guan Xi glanced at him with eyes almost looking at a fool, with one hand in his pocket, like a soldier swinging forward with a knife, and like a soldier about to Turning on his horse, the king who came to the battlefield had a stern look on his face: "No, let's go back."

Cen Zong's head short-circuited for a moment: "...Where do you go back?"

Guan Xi had already walked down the stairs, and without turning her head, she said, "Where is Lu Yun?"

The words were obviously not finished.

Cen Zong has automatically completed the next sentence for her:

——I will go back.

The author has something to say: this chapter is a bit stuck... the writing is a bit slow.Happy eating everyone...

Then I want to tell you a sad news.

I may have to ask for leave tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. I am not sure about tomorrow, but I will definitely ask for leave the day after tomorrow... because of the three-dimensional graduation related matters orz
