Chapter 287 Romance Crusher
Lu Shiman picked up the phone. The text message contained only a short sentence and the number showed unknown.
I stared at my phone for a long time.
"Whose text message made you distracted?" Qin Jiaojiao leaned over and her eyes fell on her screen.
"He should be a movie salesman." Lu Shiman turned off the screen of his phone and threw it back on the table.
"Selling movies to a USB flash drive? And I even know your last name?" Qin Jiaojiao didn't quite believe what she said. Who would sell movies and pay for shipping and give away a USB flash drive for free?
What's more, there are so many online channels, only fools would go through offline channels.
"Information leaks are perfectly normal." Lu Shiman sipped his tea. "There's been a clean-up campaign lately, so it's no surprise that film sales are going offline."
Qin Jiaojiao held her face in her hands, staring at Lu Shiman with starry eyes: "Manman, your calmness and composure in analyzing problems are so charming."
Lu Shiman's cheeks flushed slightly when she was praised. She lowered her head in embarrassment, covering her face: "I am embarrassed by your praise."
"I'm telling you the truth. The way you think looks so smart." Qin Jiaojiao's filter towards Lu Shiman was really thick.
Even if Lu Shiman said now that the sun was blue, she would still think that Lu Shiman was right.
Ji Linshen and Huo Beiyan looked at each other and wisely chose not to speak.
At times like this, it would be better for them to remain silent.
"There are so many tricks used by film sellers nowadays. I even wrote a love letter specially for the occasion. Unfortunately, I didn't read it completely and it was eaten up by Wang Jiangang." Lu Shiman still felt a little sorry.
This was the first time she received a love letter. Although it was a trick from the movie salesman, Lu Shiman was still a little excited.
"Have you seen that film?"
Lu Shiman shook his head: "What a pity, Wang Jiangang swallowed it and pulled it out again. I was ruined by Brother Feather."
"Ah...Brother Feather dug it out of dog shit for you?" Qin Jiaojiao had an old man's face, her eyes full of disgust.
The Xie family's young master, who looks like a decent person, is actually a dog shit collector...
"No, he said he picked it up, so he probably didn't use his hands directly, he used chopsticks."
Huo Beiyan tilted his head to look at the courtyard view outside the window. A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his lips, but it was quickly pursed into the rolling arc of his Adam's apple. Only the knuckles on the armrest turned white due to the force.
The warm winter sun shines through the latticed glass windows, weaving a layer of hazy golden sand on Ji Lin's dark camel-colored sweater.
Ji Linshen leaned lazily on the soft sofa, the teacup shrouded in white mist between his fingers, and his black casual pants outlined the slender lines of his legs.
He was immersed in the warm sunshine, leaning against it casually, with a smile on his lips, his eyes fixed on Lu Shiman opposite him.
Every time she moved, the smile in his eyes deepened, and even the shadow cast by his eyelashes was soaked in gentle indulgence.
Lu Shiman looked up and was caught by this gaze. When she met his eyes, it was as if she had suddenly crashed into an amber sea.
She instinctively wanted to avoid this overly direct gaze, but her gaze was rooted in those eyes.
Her breath lingered in the air filled with the fragrance of tea, and she was stunned and drowned in the amber sea in his eyes.
The two of them stared at each other as if no one was around, which made Qin Jiaojiao jealous.
She suddenly leaned forward and spread her five fingers across Lu Shiman's eyes, abruptly blocking the sticky gaze.
Lu Shiman instinctively leaned back to avoid it, and the broken hair made her palm itchy, which made Qin Jiaojiao even more annoyed. She simply put her fingers together and covered her eyes directly.
"Jiaojiao, if you cover my eyes, I won't be able to tell you I love you with my eyes." Lu Shiman grabbed the hand covering her eyelids and gently pulled it down, then took the hand into her palm.
With just one sentence, most of Qin Jiaojiao's depression disappeared.
Huo Beiyan was so shocked by the flowing love words that he choked and coughed. He bent his elbow and poked Ji Linshen's lower back and lowered his voice: "Has she always been like this?"
Ji Lin took a sip of tea and glanced at him: "What?"
"That's it..." Huo Beiyan organized his words: "Sweet talk and flirtation, just come out of your mouth?"
"Yeah." Ji Lin responded deeply and praised: "She is gifted."
"I want to learn too."
"Don't learn it."
"Why?" Huo Beiyan really wanted to learn how to say sweet words like Lu Shiman.
"She's cute like this, but you..." Ji Linshen looked at him sideways: "...it's greasy."
Huo Beiyan's face wrinkled into the emoji of an old man on the subway looking at his phone. Ji Linshen slowly added the last sentence: "It's fatter than ten pounds of lard."
Huo Beiyan: "..."
Break up with this kind of friend, they are useless!!!
After sitting for a while, Qin Jiaojiao received a new product notification from SA and pulled Lu Shiman to go and see it.
When the four people stepped out of the teahouse, the snow water falling from the eaves happened to splash into the cracks in the blue bricks.
The remaining snow, unable to withstand the baking heat of the sun, rolled down from the needle tips of the Welcoming Pine Tree, forming winding bright trails in front of the stone steps.
Qin Jiaojiao suddenly stopped, the tip of her shoe tapping the winding stream of snow on the blue bricks. "Manman, look at this melted snow. Doesn't it look like someone has hidden their heartbeat all winter and secretly poured it onto a path someone must pass by?"
"Have you read any sour literary novels recently?" Lu Shiman frowned and looked at the puddle marks.
"How do you know? How about it, romantic, right?" Qin Jiaojiao took Lu Shiman's arm.
"If snow is God's dandruff, then this snow water is roughly equivalent to the oil on your hair caused by the sun." Lu Shiman answered seriously.
Qin Jiaojiao's mouth twitched: "Manman, you are a romance crusher."
Lu Shiman tilted his head to look at Qin Jiaojiao, and asked in confusion: "How can romance be crushed?"
Qin Jiaojiao suddenly didn't want to talk anymore. Although she and Manman were on the same wavelength, they would sometimes go off channel.
For example, now.
Huo Beiyan, who was following behind the two of them, staggered when he heard this, and only Ji Linshen helped him up and prevented him from falling.
"She..." Huo Beiyan didn't know how to describe the shock in his heart.
Ji Linshen was no longer surprised by this and had heard even more nonsense.
He withdrew his hand, brushed off his cuffs which were stained with the other person's body temperature, and glanced at Huo Beiyan: "You'll get used to it."
"You really are..." Huo Beiyan picked out words in his mind and finally chose one: "Unmoved by praise or criticism."
Ji Linshen's eyes swept across his lips, which seemed to be about to argue, and coldly threw down a four-character verdict: "The donkey from Guizhou is at a loss for words."
Afraid that he wouldn't understand, she uttered two words again: "Illiterate."
Lu Shiman turned around and looked at Huo Beiyan with a smile: "I suggest going back to the elementary school to revise the first volume of the Idiom Dictionary."
Qin Jiaojiao also turned around to look at her husband and complained, "Boss Huo has exposed his identity as a person who slipped through the net of compulsory education today."
Among the four people, three had smiles on their faces, and only Huo Beiyan was not laughing.
