just like it

Chapter 29 Chapter 29

Jiang Miao came back very late that day.

In the afternoon, I finished repairing the film in the studio and was about to leave. Hu Chengjie came back from outside shooting. He took him to have dinner together and talked a lot about work. Tomorrow, at the appointment of a client, he will go to other places to shoot a film, so let Jiang Miao go with him.

It is of course good to go to shoot with Hu Chengjie to gain more experience. Jiang Miao agreed without hesitation. She immediately booked a ticket with her mobile phone, chatted casually with Hu Chengjie, and took a taxi back home. It was already ten o'clock.

Before I got home, I heard the sound of the TV coming from inside.

Jiang Miao knew that Wu Xia was off today, and the two of them were fine at home, so they would turn on the TV and choose any drama to play, just to make the room more noisy.Jiang Miao was stunned when he came in and saw the evening news on TV.

"Why do you care about the news?" Jiang Miao asked.

Wu Xia had already taken a shower, changed into pajamas and sat cross-legged on the sofa. Hearing Jiang Miao's question, he nodded casually.

He doesn't care about the news, he just wants to know what the text message from the strange number wants him to read.

Jiang Miao went back to her room, took her clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. Wu Xia stared at the news screen on TV, feeling a little dazed for a while.

Three or four pieces of news have been broadcast, either the grassroots inspection work under the city leadership, or the new measures that the city has launched to benefit the people. They are all things that are similar to those that are used to in peacetime. Wu Xia can't see how much these have anything to do with him.

Got tricked?Just as Wu Xia was thinking, the next news came on the TV.

"This morning, according to the clues reported by the masses, the city's public security, market supervision and other departments conducted a surprise inspection on the 'XX Tableware Cleaning and Distribution Company' located in the suburbs..."

Holding the remote controller in his hand, Wu Xia turned down the volume, but immediately, he turned up the volume again.

In the news footage broadcast on the TV, the camera is sweeping across the company's dark production workshop, a messy compound, and nervous workers gathered together with bewildered faces.

"From the on-site inspection, we can see that the company's working environment is harsh, and the workshop is full of pungent and unpleasant smells... and the company has also organized a group of so-called security personnel to monitor and monitor the workers. Workers who do not obey the 'management' will be fined at least, and beaten, scolded and threatened..."

There was some righteous indignation in the announcer's voice, but Wu Xia didn't pay much attention to it.

All his attention was on finding the man in the flashing footage.

The camera swept across the yard again, with workers on one side and factory management and security teams separated by law enforcement officers on the other, and some people had physical conflicts with law enforcement officers in the middle.

"The person in charge of the factory and some security guards are arrogant..."

On the news screen, a tall man with a fierce face pointed at the camera and shouted, "Don't shoot... Tell you, there are people above us..."

The camera turned again, and several security guards were fighting with law enforcement officers.

Wu Xia subconsciously pressed the remote control to freeze the screen.

Of course it didn't work out as he wished, the live broadcast on the TV was still going on, but the volume was turned up a bit by him.

But Wu Xia knew he wasn't mistaken. Among the security guards who were fighting with the law enforcement officers, the one who looked like a monkey, who wasn't Qiu Xiaoxia?

Soon the TV screen returned to the studio, and the news anchor solemnly stated that they would continue to pay attention to the follow-up of the incident and report it in time, and then began to broadcast another news.

Wu Xia was stunned, and didn't even hear Jiang Miao talking to him when she came out of the shower.

Jiang Miao patted Wu Xia on the shoulder: "Why are you in a daze?"

Wu Xia trembled when she was photographed.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Miao was surprised, "What are you looking at so fascinated? Are you scared?"

"...Oh, it's okay," Wu Xia picked up the remote control and handed it over, "What do you want to watch?"

Jiang Miao shook her head: "I don't want to read it, I still have to pack my things and I have to go on a business trip tomorrow."

"Oh." Wu Xia nodded, and turned off the TV while getting up, "I'm going to bed too, good night."

After speaking, he went straight back to the room and closed the door.

Jiang Miao was stunned for a moment. He wanted to ask Wu Xia if there were any travel-size toiletries. Wu Xia was in the cosmetics counter, and there were quite a lot of such things. He was worried again.

Jiang Miao knocked on the door twice: "Wu Xia, are you okay?"

After a while, Wu Xia's voice came out: "It's okay, I'm sleepy, and I have to go to work tomorrow, so go to bed first."

"Oh, good night." Jiang Miao stood in front of the door for a while, turned around and turned off the light in the living room, and went back to her room.

In the room, Wu Xia was sitting on the bed and hadn't turned on the light when he came in. The moonlight reflected a hazy gray shadow on the ground through the curtains.

Since what happened in "Night" last time, he had never seen Qiu Xiaoxia again, nor had he thought about this person.

He still remembered that when Qiao Ruige took him away from "Night", Song Zhe asked him what to do with Qiu Xiaoxia's group, Qiao Ruige said at that time, "Didn't you drug it? You can figure it out".

Wu Xia didn't know what this "seeing to do" refers to, how Song Zhe understood it and how to deal with it in the end, and Wu Xia didn't think deeply about it.

Whether it was Qiu Xiaoxia or Qiao Ruige, he didn't want to think about what happened that night.

Although he told Jiang Miao that people like Qiao Ruige would soon forget about him and would not pester him again.But in his heart, he also thought that Qiao Ruige would appear in front of him soon as before.

But no.

After that, Qiao Ruige seemed to have disappeared. Except for Qiao Mingshan's admission to the hospital, Wu Xia had no way of knowing anything about him.

It's not that Wu Xia didn't wonder if Qiao Ruige lost interest in his resentment after spending that night, so he just let him go. Tonight's news is undoubtedly telling him, but it didn't.

It would be too dull to say that after reading tonight's news, you still don't know who the strange call was from.

Wu Xia touched the phone, clicked out the text message and read it again.

The content of 12 characters in total can be memorized without much effort.But the information revealed behind the scenes made Wu Xia more and more frightened.

Of course he hated Qiu Xiaoxia, but for such a scumbag, he was disdainful to ask him to think about how to get revenge.

And the revenge method he can think of is nothing more than resorting to force and beating him up.This news told him that revenge can be played in a more advanced way.

Qiu Xiaoxia must have gone in. Watching his bravery in the face of law enforcement officers on TV, it is still unknown when he will come out.He would never think of this matter on Wu Xia, it can be said that he didn't even know how he died.

That black company was able to start up, and it seems to have existed for a long time. Facing the camera, it was able to shout "There are people above us", which shows that the backstage is also tough enough to dare to be so arrogant.But they were still investigated, which shows that the driving force behind this is stronger and tougher than them.

"Such a well-established company was shut down because a little security guard cheated me, a little guy?" Wu Xia immediately denied this idea.

Not because he cheated, but because he cheated and offended Qiao Ruige.

Wu Xia's fingers hesitated on the call button on the text message interface.

To be able to resort to such means of revenge, the trivial matter of getting his mobile phone number is simply not worth mentioning.

Wu Xia didn't want to worry about such details, he was just wondering if Qiao Ruige avenged him, should he say "thank you".

As long as you lightly tap your finger, you can dial out the phone, and the young master's arrogant and lazy voice may sound on the other end of the phone.

Thanks.However, Wu Xia silently recited these two words dozens of times in his heart, but he still couldn't open his mouth, let alone imagine saying these two words to Qiao Ruige.

He tilted his finger, clicked on "More Actions", and then clicked on "New Contact".

Enter another name, and you can save Qiao Ruige in your contacts. Maybe when will you be able to say these two words to him?

Then what?Are you okay after saying thank you?From now on, they will go their own way and do not owe each other?Or is the entanglement deeper, with constant cutting and chaos?

Wu Xia let out a depressed breath, threw the phone aside, threw it on the pillow, pulled the towel over his head, and thought: Never mind, think about annoying things later, let him be an ostrich now.

Jiang Miao went out this time quite smoothly. He transferred to two cities in a row to complete the appointments of two clients. He was worried that the return date would be delayed, but fortunately, he finally came back before the weekend.

Although Luo Yuchuan called him the night before and told him to sleep until he woke up naturally, but he still got up early the next day, there was no way, thinking about going out on a date with Luo Yuchuan today, he couldn't fall asleep.

After getting up, taking a shower, and having a simple breakfast, Jiang Miao stood in front of the small closet in her room tossing about.

Taking out all the clothes and trousers that are suitable for the season and laying them on the bed, Jiang Miao put on all kinds of collocations and compared them in front of the mirror.

A brighter color or a more mature and stable one?As for the shirt, is it the linen one with a Chinese-style stand-up collar, or the chest pocket with a special shape? Should the T-shirt have a small round neck or a V-neck, fit snugly or just be loose?Are the shorts seven points, eight points or nine points and then pull up the trousers?

And shoes, sneakers or sneakers?Considering traveling, is it more convenient to wear hole shoes in case of wading?

After some selection and comparison, Jiang Miao was sweating again. He thought it would be good if Wu Xia was here, and he could ask his opinion, but then he rejoiced that Wu Xia had to go to work and left early in the morning. I'm sure I'm going to sit with my legs crossed and watch his jokes.

While struggling, Luo Yuchuan called: "Did you sleep well?"

"Okay." Jiang Miao said from the bottom of her heart.

"Then I'll come to pick you up in about half an hour. Shall I bring you some breakfast?"

"No, I've already eaten."

Luo Yuchuan chuckled and said, "Okay, see you later."

"see you later."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Miao was stunned for a while, and then hurried to take a shower again. When she came out, she didn't care about what to wear or what style, so she grabbed a T-shirt and shorts that looked pleasing to the eye and put them on.

I didn't care to fold the clothes on the bed, so I had to wait until I came back to clean them up. I hurriedly checked that the camera, battery and cards borrowed from the studio were normal, and Jiang Miao put on her bag and went out.

After waiting at the gate of the community for about ten minutes, Luo Yuchuan's car arrived.

"How long have you been waiting? Why didn't you wait for my call?" Looking at Jiang Miao's face flushed by the sun, Luo Yuchuan felt a little distressed, "I don't know how to find a shady place."

Jiang Miao said nonchalantly: "It's okay, I can't get tanned, can't I see your car at a glance from here?"

The sun shone through the car window and shone on Jiang Miao's side face. Seeing that his forehead seemed to be sweating, Luo Yuchuan raised his hand to stroke it, but was caught by Jiang Miao.

Jiang Miao grabbed his hand but didn't speak, just looked at him with a smile.

Luo Yuchuan also looked at him with a smile, his eyes slowly moved down along his eyelashes dyed golden by the sun, moved past his rosy lips, his thin white neck, and landed on a delicate and beautiful collarbone.

The neckline of the last T-shirt I picked was a little too big, Jiang Miao sat on her side again, the neckline slid to her shoulders, and her collarbone and shoulder sockets were exposed.

Luo Yuchuan's throat twitched, and he turned his gaze away. He lightly squeezed Jiang Miao's fingers and let him go, saying, "Fasten your seat belt."

"Oh," Jiang Miao replied, but in a blink of an eye, she found the string of small rice dumplings hanging under the rearview mirror, and happily flicked the tassels with her fingers, "Hey, it's pretty good to hang here."

Luo Yuchuan bent the corner of his mouth: "Yes."

"By the way," Jiang Miao pulled the seat belt on, "Senior, can you take me somewhere first?"

"where?"

Jiang Miao took out a notebook from her backpack, took out a business card from inside, and handed it to Luo Yuchuan, saying, "This is the address on it."

The name of a pawn shop is printed on the business card, and the address below is not too far away.

Luo Yuchuan pinched the business card, looked at Jiang Miao, and said, "You are..."

"I've saved enough money, I can redeem the camera." Jiang Miao patted his trouser pocket as he said, with a little pride on his face.

Luo Yuchuan was stunned: "Are you going to redeem today?"

Jiang Miao didn't pay much attention to Luo Yuchuan's expression, and grabbed the tassel of the little rice dumpling and said with emotion: "It's almost the same, it's been seven or eight months, you don't know, I was so reluctant when I decided to pawn it off, it's my own savings The first set of cameras I bought was more than 4 yuan when I bought it, and it was only a little over 1 yuan when I took it as a mortgage. Alas, I was only quoted a price of more than 8000 yuan at the beginning, really, so angry."

Luo Yuchuan looked at him, thinking about it for a while, and was about to say a few words of comfort, but Jiang Miao smiled and said: "But now I have saved enough money to redeem it, even if I have saved more than 1 yuan. It’s been a long time, thinking about it, I’m really sorry for it, I thought it could be redeemed in three or four months at most.”

These words made Luo Yuchuan's heart ache.

Jiang Miao, who has never lived outside, probably underestimated the pressure of survival from all aspects at the beginning, so she thought that she could save more than 1 ransom in three to four months in addition to living expenses.

In this way, he couldn't understand why Jiang Miao didn't go to Hu Chengjie's studio as a photographer from the beginning, but instead became a teller in a small shoe store.But as Jiang Miao said, otherwise they would not meet each other, everything is going in a better direction, why bother to keep entangled in the "past".

only……

Luo Yuchuan looked complicated, looked at Jiang Miao, then glanced at the back seat, hesitant to speak.

Jiang Miao noticed his strangeness, and followed his gaze to the back seat: "What's wrong?"

Seeing this, he was also stunned.

There is a paper bag on the back seat, and the LOGO of the camera he usually uses is printed on the paper bag.

Jiang Miao looked at the paper bag, then turned her head to look at Luo Yuchuan, and then at the paper bag, as if she couldn't believe it.

Luo Yuchuan sighed softly, turned around and stretched out his hand to carry the paper bag over and stuffed it into Jiang Miao's arms: "I wanted to give you a surprise."

Jiang Miao was holding the paper bag blankly, not recovering from the shock in her heart.

Luo Yuchuan looked at him in a daze, a little funny, and stretched out his hand to pinch his earlobe: "Why are you in a daze? Don't you want to take a look?"

The weight in the paper bag was not light, and Jiang Miao could feel it as soon as he held it in his arms. He opened the paper bag and looked inside, and recognized at a glance which model it was, and it was equipped with an additional lens. Sixty thousand.

He looked up at Luo Yuchuan, pursed his lips, and asked in a low voice after a while: "What is this for?"

Luo Yuchuan patted his head, smiled and said, "Return the gift."

"what?"

Following his example, he flicked the tassels of the zongzi, and Luo Yuchuan said, "Here, return the gift."

Jiang Miao stared at him blankly and didn't speak for a while.

Luo Yuchuan felt a little embarrassed, touched the tip of his nose, and said, "I don't know much about this either. Senior Jiang gave me a list. I compared it for a long time and couldn't figure it out. It seems that you prefer to use this brand." , I simply picked a high-rated one.”

"I...I can't accept it..." Jiang Miao whispered.

"Why?" Luo Yuchuan was puzzled.

"Too...too precious." Jiang Miao seemed afraid that he would not be able to convince Luo Yuchuan, and pointed to the string of small rice dumplings, "I made this myself, it's not worth much..."

"Jiang Miao," Luo Yuchuan interrupted him in a deep voice, "Promise me one thing."

"what?"

Luo Yuchuan moved closer to him, and his gaze fell on him as if with substance: "Between us, never use money as a measure."

As he spoke, he raised his hand to caress the little zongzi: "This is a gift you made for me. Just for this, it is priceless, so don't measure it like this, okay? I'm afraid I will lose. "

Jiang Miao only felt his chest swell, and a certain emotion continued to ferment in his body, as if he urgently needed an outlet, and kept hitting his chest and throat, and was about to blurt out thousands of words.

But in the end he just let out a sigh of relief and said, "Okay."

So, after redeeming Jiang Miao's camera from the pawn shop, they officially set off with two sets of cameras, one new and one old, in the back seat.

Although he looks very rich, it is a pity that the new and old sets of cameras have not been charged, and he can only use the camera borrowed from Hu Chengjie.

But even so, Jiang Miao also felt like a little mouse that fell into a rice bowl, very satisfied.

When Luo Yuchuan drove out of the urban area and turned up the mountain again, Jiang Miao realized that the place he was going to was the construction site of Song Zhe's villa under construction.

The workers on the construction site were constructing, and the progress of the project was very fast. When they stopped the car, they saw a small building that had been built to the second floor.

Before coming here, Luo Yuchuan didn't say hello to Song Zhe, but the engineering supervisor Song Zhe invited knew Luo Yuchuan well, and the three of them simply said hello, and the supervisor took Luo Yuchuan into the construction site, and Jiang Miao also adjusted his camera and followed behind to shoot.

It was the first time he saw Luo Yuchuan at work. While listening to the supervisor's introduction, he carefully observed the situation on the construction site. Of course, he also paid attention to his feet. He reminded him from time to time, and then he simply took his hand. go together.

The photos on the construction site are not really good to take, a few from different angles are enough, but Jiang Miao still wants to take a few more in his heart, even an earthy helmet can't hide Luo Yuchuan's handsomeness.

"Here, has it been changed?" Luo Yuchuan pointed to a wall facing east.

The supervisor said, "Yes, Boss Song nodded too much."

Luo Yuchuan nodded and said nothing, turned around and said goodbye to Jiang Miao. When he walked to the car, he motioned Jiang Miao to wait, took out his cell phone and made a call.

"I originally designed a window on the wall to the east of the living room on the first floor, have you changed it?" After answering the phone, Luo Yuchuan asked directly without being wordy.

The person on the phone was naturally Song Zhe, who was stunned by Luo Yuchuan's question for a while before saying, "Ah... ah, you went to the construction site? Why did you think of going there? Tell me in advance that we will be together."

Luo Yuchuan didn't want to waste words with him: "Why change?"

Song Zhe also seemed to be a little helpless: "My old man, please ask someone to take a look. I don't understand why opening windows over there will affect Feng Shui and spread wealth. Isn’t it? Oh, I’ve also asked someone, it doesn’t seem like this change will affect the load bearing, right?”

"It doesn't matter." Luo Yuchuan opened the car door and signaled Jiang Miao to get in the car, "But you probably didn't take into account the shape of the surrounding mountains. You didn't pay attention to the wind direction in this mountain, did you? I opened the window on that side not just to see the scenery , Mainly for ventilation and light, the mountain is already humid, changing the wall will not only block the light and scenery, but also not conducive to ventilation and dampness, after a long time, the humidity will stagnate in the house, which will be even worse."

Song Zhe was a little panicked when he heard it: "Then what should I do? The old man talks about Feng Shui..."

"Feng shui, it's simple."

Jiang Miao tugged at Luo Yuchuan's sleeve, and asked with her mouth, "Do you know Feng Shui?"

Luo Yuchuan smiled, stretched out his hand to scratch the tip of his nose, and said to the phone, "Just tell the old man like that..."
