Relying on one's own hair

At four o'clock, Qiao Ran chatted with two new colleagues, got to know each other for a while, and then passed on to them the experience and experience he had worked in Xinmei for a year without reservation.

Although the two new colleagues were older than Qiao Ran, they were very modest and listened very carefully. They even asked a question or two from time to time, and Qiao Ran answered them patiently.

Before he knew it, it was five o'clock, and Qiao Ran asked his new colleague to look at the previous work log by himself, and then came to the company's parking lot to meet Andrew.

Heping Avenue is close to the urban area, a bit far from Satomi. It took an hour or two to drive and find a parking space. When we arrived at the Italian restaurant called "Love Sicily", it was already dark.

The decoration of this restaurant looks much more upscale than that of Lily's Restaurant, with flowers and candelabras everywhere, and the background music is elegant and soft violin music. Most of the diners are couples, which looks quite a bit Romantic mood.

Andrew led Qiao Ran into an independent private room, the decoration inside was more exquisite, besides a set of antique Baroque dining table, there was also a gorgeous and large reclining chair by the wall for people to relax.

With the relationship between Qiao Ran and Andrew, coming to this kind of place for dinner is too grand, Qiao Ran just felt uncomfortable.

Andrew pulled out a chair and sat down, then greeted Qiao Ran: "What are you doing standing up, sit down."

It's already here, and it's not good to say leave now, so Qiao Ran sat down opposite.

The waiter came in with a beautifully gilded paper menu. Andrew ordered several signature dishes in one go, and finally ordered a bottle of expensive high-end red wine, priced at 3888.

Qiao Ran immediately said, "Boss, I can't drink, and you're still driving."

Andrew said nonchalantly: "It's okay, how can you not drink when you eat, and the degree is not high, just go back and find a substitute driver later."

Qiao Se said stubbornly: "Then drink it yourself, I don't know how to drink."

Other things can be settled, and he will never compromise on this issue. The last drunken incident left a psychological shadow on him, not to mention that he had already promised Valentine before coming here.Even if Andrew had to turn his face for this, he would not back down.

Andrew's complexion was indeed a bit dark. According to his usual temper, it's time to slap the table and scold him for being ignorant of flattery, but today he didn't get angry strangely. Drink, I can just put it on the table and see."

After speaking, he asked the waiter to uncork the cork, and poured two glasses of wine out of a goblet.

Qiao Ran was speechless, vaguely felt that Andrew's invitation to dinner today was weird in every way, but he couldn't think of the other party's purpose.He is poor and single, and the hair on Andrew's legs is thicker than his waist, so what can he do for him.

No matter what the picture is, just eat something later and go. Sitting here is really uncomfortable. There is nothing to talk about with Andrew in this environment. It is better to cook noodles at home and eat with Valentine.

In the next half an hour, the appetizers and main dishes were served one after another, but Andrew didn't move the tableware, but checked his phone several times.

The table was full of high-end dishes, many of which Qiao Ran had only seen but never eaten. However, at this moment, he had no appetite at all, and was just in a hurry to go home, so he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, can you eat?"

Andrew said absently: "Wait a little longer."

What are you waiting for?No matter how patient Qiao Ran was, he was a little irritable now. Just as he was about to urge him again, Andrew's cell phone rang. He looked at it with a look of joy, then got up and said, "I'm going to the bathroom, and I'll be right back."

After finishing speaking, he left the private room, and before going out, he winked at Qiao Ran ambiguously. The greasy eyes combined with the flattened pancake face gave Qiao Ran a chill.

After another 5 minutes, Andrew still hadn't come back. Qiao Ran couldn't sit still any longer. Just as he was about to go out, the door of the private room was pushed open from the outside.

The person who came in was neither a waiter nor Andrew. He was a middle-aged man with a square head, big ears, and a fat body. He looked a lot like Andrew, but he was a little more military-like than the latter. He was the beautiful behind-the-scenes boss. Colonel Gordon.

A reticulated python with a bowl-sized mouth was cruising at Gordon's feet, spitting out a red letter hissingly, and when it saw Joe, it swooped towards him.

Qiao Ran's heart shuddered, and she immediately stood up to avoid it.

But the private room was only that big, and there were tables, chairs and benches. Gordon was blocking the door, and he couldn't escape no matter what. He was soon wrapped around his waist by the reticulated python, and he was trapped on the recliner, unable to move.

Qiao Ran finally realized that tonight's dinner was a trap set by Gordon's uncle and nephew. She couldn't help being surprised and angry, and asked, "Colonel Gordon, what are you going to do? I'm just a pretty girl in my heart." Just ordinary employees."

Gordon slammed the door of the private room behind his back, and after admiring Qiao Ran's panicked and helpless expression for a while, he sat down across the dining table and said with a meaningful smile: "NONONO, young man, don't belittle yourself, you are not ordinary. Crazy B-rank sentries are no match for you."

The other party was not kind, and he couldn't run away, so Qiao Ran could only try his best to calm himself down and said, "You're too lucky, the last time was just a fluke, I was almost brain-dead and turned into a vegetative state."

"Isn't this not dead? It's already very powerful. At that time, an inexperienced A-level guide might not be able to retreat unscathed." Gordon praised, then picked up a glass of red wine in front of him, and swung at Qiao Ran, " Last time, I was mistaken about the beauty in my heart, so I apologize to you."

Qiao Ran patiently said: "What happened last time is not worth mentioning, you don't need to apologize. Colonel, please let your mental body let go of me, I have to go home first."

"What's the rush, it's still early." Gordon took a sip of the scarlet liquid in the cup, "What are you going to do, our army commander is not interested in you."

Qiao Ran was startled when he heard that, and suddenly raised his head. Gordon knew that Valentine lived with him?

Gordon continued slowly: "Little Hall is super S-rank, very proud and arrogant, no one pays attention to it, it's normal to look down on you as a half-assed, so don't wishful thinking."

Qiao Ran couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily, "I didn't!"

Gordon took another sip of his wine, "It would be best not to have that. I am A-level, and I used to have a partner, but unfortunately passed away last year, and now I am single. It is your blessing to be willing to marry you. You Chinese have something to say It seems to be 'Don't toast, don't eat and drink fine', am I right?"

Qiao Ran gritted her teeth and said, "You'd better offer this glass of wine to someone else, forgive me for not being too high!"

Gordon was finally made impatient by his stubborn attitude of not getting in, his face showed a bit of hostility, he slammed the wine glass on the table, the wine splashed all over the snow-white tablecloth, like blood Little by little.

The reticulated python wrapped around Qiao Ran's waist immediately tightened the cold and slippery body of the snake, and at the same time raised the triangular snake's head menacingly high, opening its mouth to expose four scimitar-like sharp fangs towards him.

Qiao Ran was suddenly suffocated and had to open his mouth to breathe, trying to mobilize his thinking to stop the reticulated python from entanglement, but the newborn seedlings were too weak in front of the powerful A-level spirit body, He worked hard for a long time like a mayfly shaking a tree, to no avail.

The mobile phone placed on the table rang suddenly, and a message came in, and the sender's words "A Mao's father" were so clear and clear.

Qiao Ran seemed to see a ray of light in the darkness, struggling to pick up the phone.However, the reticulated python swiped the snake's tail and sent the mobile phone flying out. It hit the wall with a "snap", and the four-year-old mobile phone was instantly torn apart.

Qiao Ran was anxious and angry, and had a severe headache due to excessive use of mental power, her face was flushed, and her handsome and plain face showed a somewhat sickly glamorous color.

Gordon stared at his angry but helpless fragile expression, his breathing became heavy in an instant, he stretched out his hand and pulled off the tie around his neck, approached the recliner step by step, and said in a rough voice: "Little thing, please, Please, I will let the python let go of you, and make you happy. You and Little Hall have been together for a long time, hasn’t he touched a finger of yours yet? Oh, even if you have a mental problem It’s all gone, it’s really pathetic.”

"You're talking nonsense!" Qiao Ran was extremely indignant, and once again tried hard to use her own thinking to fight back against the reticulated python.

The reticulated python was as impatient as its master, shaking its neck to wrap around Qiao Ran's neck.But when it barely touched the delicate skin on the back of Qiao Ran's neck, it twitched as if it had been stabbed by a knife, and then the snake head backed away fearfully, not daring to bite Qiao Ran again.

Gordon's face changed, and he asked in surprise: "You have completed the primary combination?! Is it with Little Hall?"

Fresh air poured into his lungs, Qiao Ran didn't hear what he said clearly, he just coughed and breathed heavily, "What, what primary combination?"

As soon as the words fell, there was a loud "bang", the door of the private room was kicked open, and someone rushed in with a fierce murderous look.

The giant white lion jumped in, stepped on the dining table, and roared at the reticulated python wrapped around Qiao Ran.The reticulated python trembled all over, let go of Qiao Ran hastily, and got under the deck chair.

Qiao Ran couldn't believe her eyes, "Fan, Fan Lundin...Ah Mao?"

Gordon turned pale with shock, "Legion Commander, why are you here!"

Valentine's face sank, "Who allowed you to touch my people?"

Gordon was tongue-tied, and then argued: "I didn't know just now, it wasn't on purpose!"

"That's unforgivable."

Valentine's voice was as cold as iron, and then he strode towards Qiao Ran who was still panting, his dark golden eyes were stained with imperceptible anxiety, "How are you?"

The lion jumped down from the dining table and plunged into Qiao Ran's chest.Qiao Ran raised her hand to hug it, stroked the fluffy cloud-like mane, her heart was flooded with joy, she felt like she was dreaming, and murmured: "I'm fine, why are you here?"

Valentine answered irrelevantly, "You and Amao go out first."

Qiao Ran looked at the violent emotions in his eyes, feeling a little uneasy in his heart, hesitating and not moving.

In fact, he knew without asking that Valentine had come to save him.However, Gordon is an A-level sentinel, his strength should not be underestimated, and he is also a senior officer of the L8765 Legion. Will Van Lundin have any problems with his subordinates?

But the lion put his head against Qiao Ran's back without any explanation, and pushed it out a little bit, Qiao Ran had to leave the private room anxiously.

The heavy door closed automatically in front of his eyes, blocking Qiao Ran's sight.

Qiao Ran put her ear to the door, wanting to hear what was going on inside, but the sound insulation of the private room door was excellent, so she couldn't hear anything, but could only feel a slight vibration from the wall and floor, as if something had happened inside. A small earthquake.

Amao didn't seem worried at all, and rubbed against him affectionately.

Outside the private room is a dimly lit corridor, separated from the hall, and no one is moving around at the moment, Qiao Ran is leaning on Amao, looking anxiously at the door of the private room while recovering the mental power he had just consumed.

In less than 10 minutes, the door opened, and Valentine came out. It seemed that not a single strand of hair was messed up. His handsome and serious face was still clean, but there was a hint of blood in his eyes.

Qiao Ran felt relieved after mentioning it for a long time, as long as he was fine.

It was quiet in the private room, and it was unknown whether Gordon was dead or alive...

"Go, go home." Valentine said heavily.

Hearing the word "go home", Qiao Ran's heart felt hot, and he couldn't care about anything at all. He nodded heavily, followed the sentinel out of the corridor, and left the Italian restaurant.
