Endless Fall - Chapter 187

   Chapter 187 Not worthy of his heart

   Mingxin Mansion.

   The lamp on the right side of the eighth floor of Unit 9 was still on, and a graceful figure passed by the window, entering and exiting the bathroom at the other end.

  After taking a shower, Lin Jiao walked into the master bedroom with a cup of hot milk and lay on the bed.

   She clicked on the WeChat dialog box, and just sent Pei Zhi a message, the video invitation popped up.

   “Beautiful.” Pei Zhi stared at Yan Li’s face, as if he could see the drops of water she had not wiped off.

   He rubbed the screen: “I miss you so much.”

   The sentence ‘I miss you so much’, carrying all his strong affection, is worth more than a thousand words.

  Lin Jiao pursed her lips and smiled: “How much do you think?”

   “I really want to.” The voice from the speaker was so gentle that it seemed to entangle her: “I want to come back soon after thinking of it.”

  The warm light pouring down from his right side, wrapped around his smooth jawline, was mesmerizing.

   “But you can’t come back.” Lin Jiao rolled over on her stomach, or put her phone on the pillow when she was tired.

   She held her cheeks in her palms, and the collar, which she had not buttoned in time, was slightly open, revealing a large area of ​​whiteness.

   Pei Zhi’s eyes narrowed.

   “I’ll see you tomorrow night.” He drank two sips of water, but didn’t remind her.

   “Didn’t you say Zhou Tian?”

   “The time to sign the contract has come earlier.”

   “Then let’s go see Aunt Fang the day after tomorrow?” Lin Jiao didn’t notice the problem with the neckline and kept her original posture.

   Pei Zhi rolled his Adam’s apple: “Okay.” His eyes fell on the long hair that was close to his collarbone: “What did you shoot today?”

   “A Rujiao porcelain vase.” She talked about the price increase to 20 million: “This is the first time I have owned such an expensive thing.”

   “Rujiao has always been very expensive, but it will increase in value after a few years. It’s a good collection.”

   “Well.” Lin Jiao held up the milk cup: “For me, it’s more valuable than a necklace worth more than 20 million yuan.”

   She raised her head and drank two mouthfuls of milk, her swan-like neck stretched out, and the strands of hair brushed her skin along with her movements, stirring Pei Zhi’s restless heart invisibly.

   He lit a cigarette to calm down the dryness like a fire, and he really couldn’t look at it any more: “Jiaojiao, you lie down and talk to me.”

  Lin Jiao thought he couldn’t see clearly, so when he lay down with his phone in his hand, he turned the night light a lot brighter.

   She moved the glass away, her fingertips hooked out the strand of hair that got into the collar: “I met Gu Quan today.”

   “Did you chat?”

   “Had a few words.” She didn’t want to hide it, and she retold the conversation she remembered.

   Pei Zhi listened without any disturbance.

   He knew that Gu Quan was no threat to him, and his expression was as calm as hers: “Lincheng is so big, it’s normal to meet him.”

  The smoke that filled his surroundings covered those long and narrow eyes, so Lin Jiao couldn’t see his emotions clearly.

   She was silent: “Are you angry?”

   “No.” A mere old man, not worthy of his heart: “Don’t think blindly.”

   “Then why don’t you laugh?”

   “I’m thinking about things.”

   “A work thing?”

   eat your thing.

   Pei Zhi didn’t reveal his heart, and followed her words to talk about the cooperation in Linshi.

   He explained it in great detail. If Lin Jiao had studied it in the past, she was sleepy today, so she closed her eyes when she listened to it.

  She fell asleep and Pei Zhi didn’t want to hang up.

   He found the earphones and put them on, listening carefully to the light breathing, and accompanied her to sleep.

   “姣姣.” He closed his eyes, and his voice was as soft as the wind: “Good night.”

   Wild Cricket: [Picture], [Picture]

  Wild Cricket: [@Everyone, which hotel do you want to stay in? I am booking now. ]

   On Saturday afternoon, people in the [Lincheng Squad] group received this WeChat message at the same time.

   The first person to see was Chu Yuzhou.

   Fighting landlords with low living allowances: [So early? ]

   Wild Cricket: [You didn’t look at the calendar? The 29th of this month is the third day of junior high. ]

  Fighting landlords and low-income households: [Cigarette Lighting in the vicissitudes of life.jpg, I thought New Year’s Eve was in February. ]

  Y-ue: [The second one is good. ]

  ZJ: [Second. ]

  Lincheng is not drunk: [Let them decide. ]

  Lan: [Brother Qu, have you rented a plane? ]

  Wild Cricket: [That’s for sure, @Sy, have you done the pilot? Smile.jpg]

  Sy: [It’s done. ]

  Shen Yi copied a string of phone numbers and sent it to him, asking him to tell the captain about the parking space.

   Just as he was about to turn off the screen, a message from Jiang Ye popped up again: [Do you have time tonight? ]

  Lincheng is not drunk: [You want to treat again? ]

  ZJ: [Yes. ]

  Y-ue: [I have it too. ]

  ye: [@Lincheng is not drunk, I’m done. ]

   Fighting landlords with low living allowances: [Would you like to stay in Boyuju? I asked someone to stay in a large deluxe private room. ]

  ye: [Then we will meet in Boyu. ]

  When the sun went down, a group of people rushed to Boyu from different directions, after a lively meal, they went to drink in the private room.

   “Where did Pei Zhi and the others go?” Shen Yi handed the cigarettes to the men present and turned to ask Lin Jiao.

   “Just got off the plane.”

   “That’s soon.”

   “No one can drink me if I’m not here.” A shameless sigh came into their ears.

  Chu Yuzhou caused public outrage, and Zhou Yan, who was sitting next to him, sneered: “Lin Cheng is still here if he is drunk, why are you crazy?”

   “What I said is the truth.” He rolled up his sleeves, stepped on the chair and shook the dice cup: “Don’t believe you come one by one?”

   “Bang.” Zhou Yan gave him a disdainful glance.

   He got up and patted Jiang Ye’s shoulder twice: “I’ll go to the bathroom first, you can play with him twice.”

   Jiang Ye immediately held the dice cup.

   He sat opposite Chu Yuzhou with Shen Yi, and the sound of the dice shaking filled the surroundings in an instant.

   While they were ‘teaching’ Chu Yuzhou, the three sisters at the other end were enjoying their drinks, and sometimes they ordered two more songs to sing.

   “Yilan, did he let you move in?” Lin Jiao knew their agreement to ‘live together after finishing the project’ and looked at her curiously.

   Bringing this up, Pei Yilan’s mouth almost grinned behind her ears: “Well, I’ll move tomorrow.”

   “Sleep in a room?”

   “Two rooms.” She raised her legs on the soft stool and swayed her feet happily: “But I believe I will be able to sleep in one soon.”

  Qianyue put down the microphone: “Are you ready?”

   “Ready for what?”

   “Inspect the goods.” She did not change her face: “harmonious life is very important, if you are rushing to get married, you can inspect it in advance.”

   Pei Yilan and Lin Jiao were embarrassed to hear that.

   The former approached her: “How long in advance is more appropriate? What if there is disharmony?”

   “Depending on the level of your relationship, there is no problem if you are not harmonious but you can accept it.”

   “I can accept it.” Pei Yilan didn’t hesitate, and even planned for the worst: “As long as you can get pregnant.”

  Lin Jiao raised her eyebrows: “Are you planning to have a child?” She didn’t expect it to be that far.

   “It’s a matter of time sooner or later.” Once Pei Yilan identifies a person, she will persevere to the end.

   She smiled: “I want to have a home with him.”
