Chapter Eighty-Eight: You're So Beautiful
"Then why did you pay my money too, is this also normal in your heart?" A glimmer of hope rekindled in Jiang Li's heart.
"That's right." An Jingluo nodded without hesitation, "You've invited me to eat so many times before, so it's normal for me to invite you back." ”
Jiang Li was originally overjoyed because of her straightforward admit, but when he heard what she added, his mood suddenly became unhappy again. It turned out that it was just a reply from her because of her affection and courtesy, and it was not at all what she imagined, and she was amorous again.
An Jingluo didn't understand why Jiang Li in front of her suddenly looked annoyed, she remembered the English original book in a flash of inspiration, her big black and white eyes turned around a few times, if she gave him the book now, he should be happy, right?
"By the way, in order to thank you for taking care of me between business trips, I have prepared a small gift for you." An Whale Fall carefully handed him the book that was secretly placed behind his back, "I hope you will like it." ”
An Whale was secretly playing the drum from the moment she handed the book out, she watched Jiang Li put her eyes on the cover of the book, and then took it and opened a few pages in her hand, her face was calm from beginning to end, and there was no emotion at all.
He doesn't like it! This result was too far worse than the result she had expected before, and the sudden loss hit her heart hard, making her lose her courage, burying her head low, and not even raising the strength to ask.
An Whale, who was only looking down and sad, didn't see Jiang Li's ecstasy in the depths of his eyes, this was actually the English book of origin he had been looking for, and he asked someone to look for this book in his hometown for a long time but didn't find it.
The book is an autobiography written by a particularly niche author, published in few editions and purchased by his loyal fans. Jiang Li liked his book very much, and when he learned that his autobiography had been published, he immediately asked someone to buy it and found that it had been sold out, and also said that he would not publish it for a second time.
Jiang Li squatted on several well-known local second-hand book websites for a long time and didn't receive them, and there were many people who left messages at the bottom of the post, but they either showed off that they couldn't do it, or they asked for the price and didn't make sure that it was genuine, or they squatted like him to collect it.
Later, with a series of family and work changes, he gradually put this matter on hold, but he didn't expect that An Whale would actually give him this book today, which was really an unexpected surprise!
In fact, he was annoyed for a moment just now, and there was nothing wrong with thinking about the exchange of gifts from a different angle, at least it was a chance to meet her, thinking about the awkwardness in his heart that had long disappeared without a trace.
So when An Jingluo said that he had a gift for him, he couldn't help but snickered in his heart, it turned out that the big bags and small bags she mentioned before returning to China also had something of her own.
When An Jingluo handed the gift to him, he was stupid when he saw the cover and name of the book, the kind of instinctive stunned when he suddenly received a surprise that exceeded his expectations many times.
He originally thought that An Whale would give him a souvenir or something, but he didn't expect her to throw such a heavy surprise, and he was smashed by an unexpected surprise for a long time and didn't come back to his senses. Just according to the instinctive memory of the muscles, he took the book from her hand and opened it in a daze.
didn't look at An Whale from beginning to end, and forgot to thank her to express his liking.
When the shock wave gradually faded from his brain, Jiang Li shook his chaotic head to sober himself up, and then his first reaction was to tell An Jingluo that he liked the gift she gave him.
But he didn't meet her expectant eyes as expected, but saw her head lowered a little depressed, and Jiang Li, who couldn't see her face and eyes, was faintly a little uneasy.
"Thank you, I love it." Jiang Li said this thank you from the bottom of his heart.
An Jingluo suddenly raised his head after hearing him say that he liked it, and looked at Jiang Li with unusually bright eyes: "I knew you would like it." ”
It's really not modest at all, but what Jiang Li likes is that she is full of confidence, as if no matter how big and difficult things are in front of her, she can always conquer them with a smile.
"Where did you find it?" Jiang Li's tone was normal, as if he was chatting with an old friend.
"It's the basement of the mall directly across the square, and there's a big bookstore in there, and it's hidden on the most intimate shelves in the most remote corners of the bookstore."
An Jingluo looked at Jiang Li's rarely confused face with a smile: "I can only say that this book has a fate with me, I was just wandering around and didn't want to go to such a remote corner, but I went there unconsciously."
Since I had all walked around, I rushed to see what kind of books were placed in the last compartment of the last row of bookshelves, but I didn't expect it to lie in the middle of the last compartment, and I saw it as soon as I squatted down. At first, I thought I was dazzled by the mistake, but I pulled it out and took a closer look, and sure enough, it was it. ”
An Jingluo intercepted the conversation when he said this, Jiang Li waited a few seconds to see that she didn't speak, and asked a little eagerly, "Then what?" ”
"And then? Then I knew you liked it, so I bought it back and gave it to you. An Jingluo wondered if Jiang Li was happy and stupid, and he had to say it himself with such an obvious ending.
"So you remember I've been looking for it."
How could An Whale Luo, who had seen Jiang Li's madness, easily forget, at that time, in order to find this book, Jiang Li posted and replied every day with the time difference of day and night, full of hope again and again, and again and again with disappointment, that is called a clothes belt gradually widening and never regretting it, and making people haggard for the book.
If he hadn't known in advance that the object was not a book, An Whale would have been in trouble with him a long time ago.
"Haha, maybe I was too impressed before, I was still wondering if you had already received it when I found it, and I was struggling with whether to buy it for a long time." An Jingluo used laughter to hide the inexplicable atmosphere of mystery between the two, "It's good to buy it." ”
In fact, she didn't bother at all at that time, and immediately took it to check out after knowing that it was the book Jiang Li had been looking for, without the slightest hesitation or hesitation.
Jiang Li felt the conversation between the two of them, which was invisibly close to each other, and couldn't say what it felt like for a while.
Happy that's for sure, this gift is so pleasantly surprised; There was also a touch, he didn't expect An Whale to always remember his preferences.
In addition to being happy and moved, there was another unknown emotion in his heart that stretched his chest full and swollen, and for a while he couldn't figure out what it represented. But he didn't feel annoying at all, and even couldn't help but want to get closer, to get more.
During the afternoon trip to the zoo, the two got along completely without the embarrassing enchantment that they had before at every turn, Jiang Li's mood became very good, and he took what Jiang Huai Zuo wanted, and even sometimes took the initiative to help An Whale get things and buy drinks.
An Whale also had the initial surprise and slowly turned into a silent acceptance later, and the two tacitly maintained this tacit understanding, and took Jiang Huai Zuo to visit the entire zoo happily.
Under the offensive of Jiang Huai Zuolian's coquettish and cute, An Jingluo reluctantly accepted Jiang's request to leave the car and send her home. On the way, Jiang Huaizuo fell asleep in the car tiredly, and only the neon night shadow that passed by quickly and the two people who insisted that silence was gold were left in the car.
"You're watching the video of Hakuma at noon?" Jiang Li thought that the atmosphere was so good today, and he wanted to talk more, so he couldn't waste such a good opportunity.
An Whale, who was dazed and a little sleepy, heard him ask, and her brain cleared up a little: "Well, I heard Beiran say that Baijian is going to have a concert, and this project is in charge of Chen'an, so I will watch her previous video first to find some inspiration." ”
Bai Jian is an artist whose strength and popularity are quite good under his company, and the reason why he signed her at the beginning was because he took a fancy to her talent, especially the love for singing that emanates from the bottom of his heart, like hating himself who just debuted many years ago.
After signing into the company, Jiang Li did not let her directly participate in the draft and other channels of rapid fame, first sent her abroad to study music and dance for a year, and only after returning to China did he send her to the audience through large and small activities one after another.
Fortunately, she is also competitive and knows how to cherish opportunities, after training, her singing and dancing skills have improved greatly, and the whole person looks a lot more confident, and the stubbornness towards music in her body has not only not been smoothed out by time, but has a greater goal under the precipitation of time.
She wants to be an all-round singer-songwriter, she wants her music to be heard by the whole world, and she wants to have a place in the music scene where there are great gods everywhere.
Jiang Li also instructed his subordinates to cultivate her wholeheartedly and give her absolute freedom, so when her strength and popularity reached new heights, she kept her previous promise and held a concert for 10,000 people.
After Chen Du mentioned this matter to him once, he only said that he would be responsible and then he didn't care, he would be lazy and handed over this matter to Chen An.
"You're still in charge this time?"
"No, Bei Ran will also participate this time, he is the master in charge, I just have to listen to his orders behind his back." An Jingluo couldn't help but smile when he thought of this, "It's finally easy now, the sky is falling and there is a boss on top." ”
Beiran Beiran, is she so familiar with Ji Beiran? It doesn't matter if you don't call Mr. Ji, you can even save your surname, Jiang Li is angry for a while, it seems that he will also participate in this concert project.
"What, can you be lazy with the boss here?" Jiang Li's tone was not very good.
An Jingluo was so frightened by him, she sat up straight in an instant, she was really a little carried away, how could she say such slack words in front of the honorable father of Party A.
"It's not like this, no matter if the boss is not there, I will take out a hundred and twenty percent attitude to do this well, and there is absolutely no intention of being lazy." She almost raised her hand and swore an oath.
"That's what I'm talking about, what are you nervous about?" While waiting for the red light, Jiang Li turned his head to look at her.
The strange scene of his face half wrapped in the warm light of the street lamp outside, half trapped in the dim light and shadow, half angel and half devil made An Whale fall unconsciously bewitched.
"I, you, you're so pretty!!"
