a delicate flower

Ai Lang finished the "visit" in the garage, but his mood went from nausea to anxiety.He was brought back to the viewing room, and sat upright in front of the coffee table pretending to be calm. Every second of waiting was tearing his nerves, so that every nerve in his body became sensitive and fragile.Ai Lang's whole body is like a tight bow, but there are no arrows on the string. He is too tight, but has nowhere to vent.

With a closed door, two windowless walls, and a closed floor-to-ceiling window, Ai Lang was imprisoned, with only a mobile phone with no signal in front of him.

His slender pale fingers pressed on the screen of the phone.

16 AM

He has been separated from Zhuang Lin for half an hour.

Ailang clenched his phone tightly, and the sense of oppression made him nervous even to make a reasonable appeal. With a sullen face, he restrained his instinctive fear and asked the staff in the room: "How long will we have to wait?"

From the moment they entered the room, the dedicated staff members stood with their hands behind their hands, with a calm expression, and the coercion in their temperament was commensurate with their burly body.It's a pity that they are the minions who help the evildoers.He didn't verbally humiliate Ai Lang, didn't sniff at him, and kept silent from beginning to end, turning a deaf ear to what Ai Lang asked.Although his attitude did not exacerbate the shadow of Ai Lang's humiliation, it also made Ai Lang hold his breath.

10 minute later.

The door was opened for the first time, but it was still not the owner who entered the room, but a receptionist who was wearing the uniform style of the VIP pavilion, holding a plate with refreshments and an elegant look. tea set.

The lace-plated teacup was placed in front of Ailang's table. The receptionist picked up the porcelain white teapot, poured [-]% black tea into the cup, and said, "Excuse me, sir, please wait a little longer, our team leader Come right now."

The receptionist had a great attitude, spoke politely, and had a professional smile on his face, which made Ellen's tense nerves relax a little.

Even so, Ai Lang was not so careless as to drink tea and eat snacks without any scruples.The other party detained first, then was polite, which aroused Ai Lang's vigilance even more. He was not allowed to drink this cup of tea. When he woke up tomorrow, he had been trampled into a rag doll...

Of course, even without tea, his situation is still worrying.

After half an hour.

The door was opened for the second time, and the staff guarding the room glanced at it calmly from the corner of the eye, then retreated out tactfully, closed the door by the way, and guarded the door instead.

Alan was tense all over, but the person who came in was the man in a suit who was in charge of introducing the specific operation method of the "toy car" to Ailang in the garage more than half an hour ago.

The man is well-mannered, and the neatly pressed white suit gives people a subjective sense of solemnity.

"Hello, I'm the head of the reception group of JY Company's PR department."

After the man introduced himself according to the script, he pulled away the chair opposite Ai Lang, and sat down upright. His every move was as serious as if the two met for the first time to discuss cooperation. The scene where Ailang reads the operating instructions of the toy car is an illusion imagined by Ailang.

Ai Lang was puzzled, but the man spoke again, straight to the point:

"Then, now let's talk about the '[-]-fee transaction'."

"..."

·

Nine p.m.

Most of the freshmen who came to act as models and ceremonies this time were girls. Cao Huaide left temporarily, and then the girls in the VIP exhibition area accidentally smashed brand jewelry, which made the freshmen who had no backbone panic.Fortunately, Minister Ai arrived at the scene in time, and the result of the interview with the relevant person in charge was that the organizer did not pursue responsibility, and the next day's activities continued as usual.

At the end of a busy day, the freshmen confirmed the number of each other, boarded the shuttle bus and prepared to go back to school.

The girl who caused trouble today held a canvas bag in both hands and paced in front of the bus. She didn't ask until she saw Zhuang Lin, "Zhuang Lin, where is Minister Ai Lang? Won't you go back with us?"

Ai Lang solved the big trouble for her, and she wanted to thank her face to face.After receiving the "exemption" treatment in the afternoon, the girl went back to work in the exhibition area with trepidation, but unfortunately she never met Ai Lang again.

Zhuang Lin has a very good personality. Although there are often negative rumors about him in the club, he treats his fellow club members with a pleasant face from beginning to end.The girl admired Zhuang Lin very much. In the face of endless malice, he was always tolerant of others. Zhuang Lin was probably a gentle person down to the bone.

Zhuang Lin smiled and said, "Go back to school first, I will go back with my senior later."

The girl hesitated and said, "Well, then... let's go first..."

At this time, a boy came up behind the girl, interrupted their conversation and said, "Zhuang Lin, is the minister really okay?" He felt strange at the time, and paid extra attention afterwards, but he hasn't seen Alan's people since the afternoon.

Zhuang Lin's smile remained unchanged, and he comforted: "I received a call from my senior in the afternoon, saying that he is fine, so we don't need to worry."

Zhuang Lin did receive a call from Ai Lang at around five o'clock in the afternoon. Ai Lang's original words were, "Zhuang Lin, I'm fine. You don't have to worry about me."

However, the phone call is just one sentence.

The boy surnamed Lu hesitated to speak, Zhuang Lin passed him, got on the bus and stood in front of the freshmen, his magnetic voice, gentle tone of voice, and a faint smile on his handsome face made people feel at ease for no reason.He said: "You have worked hard today, go back and rest early."

After seeing off the freshmen, Zhuang Lin returned to the exhibition hall alone. The exhibition area was about to close, so he sat on a double seat in the public area outside the hall.His mobile phone was very lively this afternoon, and the wechat notification sound kept ringing. 90.00% of the nine messages were sent by Xing Lu to confirm Ai Lang's safety.

In the afternoon, Zhuang Lin truthfully conveyed Ai Lang's original words to Xing Lu, reported his safety, and suggested that Xing Lu, if he wanted to wait for Cao Huaide to reveal himself, he should pretend that he didn't find anything unusual after sending the message to Ai Lang, and not come to the door to talk to him. Cao Huaide confronted.

Xing Lu couldn't, couldn't confront Cao Huaide, and couldn't contact Ai Lang himself, so she could only keep harassing Zhuang Lin, an insider who was at the scene.

Zhuang Lin was very annoyed, but he could only reply to Xing Lu tirelessly.Switching the address book from the WeChat chat interface, Zhuang Lin dialed the number from the list of recent calls, and said briefly: "There are too many mosquitoes outside, let them go."

Zhao Bailei's regretful sigh came from the receiver of the mobile phone.

Zhao Bailei suggested to Zhuang Lin in the afternoon, "Sure enough, you are interested in the good things I posted in the group, right? Let's play with your people, Bao Shuang." Zhuang Lin posted the unread messages in the WeChat group in doubt. After viewing the real picture, he raised his head and said to Zhao Bailei, "Get lost."

Zhuang Lin felt annoyed for no reason.Zhao Bailei was not surprised, after all, Zhuang Lin never participated in it, and he didn't like their parties.

·

The exhibition hall has begun to close, and the bustling scene seen during the day tends to be deserted. When Ai Lang walked out of the racing track, he still had no real feeling in his heart, until he saw a figure sitting alone on a chair under the street lamp from a distance.

Obviously he couldn't see his face clearly, but Ai Lang recognized him at a glance.

"Zhuang Lin!"

Ai Lang yelled, with a trembling voice, and saw a figure moving in the distance. The man turned his head to look over, and immediately got up and ran towards him in a hurry.

Ai Lang stood on the steps and watched Zhuang Lin run up to him. His nerves, which had been tense for a long time, finally relaxed when Zhuang Lin ran towards his waist and hugged him tightly.

Ai Lang didn't dare to respond too affectionately to Zhuang Lin because the staff who led the way were still behind him. He turned his head and stretched out his hand to the staff, and said angrily, "My mobile phone!"

The two were located in the corner of one side of the exhibition hall. The staff returned Ailang's mobile phone to him and then turned and left. It was quiet for a while, so Ailang hugged Zhuang Lin back without any scruples.

Ai Lang stood on a high place, Zhuang Lin's face was pressed against his chest, and he clasped Zhuang Lin's neck with his hands.

After hugging for a while, Ailanti's heart finally fell to the ground in mid-air. He rubbed the back of Zhuang Lin's head, pushed Zhuang Lin away slightly, held his cheeks in both hands, lowered his head, and said "boo" loudly on Zhuang Lin's forehead several times.

Zhuang Lin looked up at him, and asked softly, "Did they make things difficult for you?"

Ai Lang wrinkled his nose when he heard the words, and snorted: "Yes, it's too embarrassing for me!"

Zhuang Lin frowned.

Ailang held Zhuang Lin's cheeks with his hands and kneaded his auricles instead, and said with disgust, "I suspect there is something wrong with them."

Zhuang Lin: "Huh?"

Ai Lang: "Do you know how I spent these four hours?" He added an exaggerated tone, "I was locked in a small dark room, and I was forced to leave the room without seeing the rich second generation from the beginning to the end. They are in charge of practicing the game trumpet for him!! They said that they will transfer [-] yuan directly to me after finishing their physical strength."

"........."

Ai Lang: "Do you think there is something wrong with them?"

For a moment, Zhuang Lin didn't know what expression to use to respond, so he let out a long "uh" and asked, "Did they really pay you [-]?"

Ai Lang shook his head, "They want me to compensate for the broken jewelry at the exhibition. The asking price is also [-], which is just right."

afternoon.The man in the suit proposed to formally discuss the "[-] reward deal" with Ai Lang. Ai Lang was apprehensive at first, and then he was surprised--the power leveling game trumpet was supervised to finish his physical strength non-stop, That's it for now.

Zhuang Lin said with concern: "Anyway, as long as the senior is not hurt, let's go back first?"

Ellen: "Yes."

Zhuang Lin and Ailang took a taxi back to the apartment. They sat in the back seat of the car, holding hands and clasping fingers along the way.Ai Lang leaned on the car seat cushion, his mind was full of mud.

On the way, Xing Lu called Zhuang Lin, and Ai Lang couldn't explain clearly in a few words, but Xing Lu could finally confirm that Ai Lang was safe and sound, and a heart that had been hanging for a long time finally fell to the ground.

Ai Lang hung up the phone and looked out the car window in a daze. He couldn't help thinking about what happened today.

Ai Lang couldn't figure out whether the rich second generation who didn't show up was stupid or bad. He was full of suspicion, and he was sure that the man letting him play games was just a conspiracy to let him relax his vigilance. Who knew that man really let him go so easily—— It's easy but not easy, he played the daily routine of repeating simple operations all afternoon, and his head became dizzy.

Leaving aside the psychological pressure put on Ai Lang by the other party's bluff, the play directed and acted by that person can only be regarded as a prank at best, the trick is true, and so is the loss of jewelry that was damaged during the exhibition.

Ellen was confused.

Back to the apartment.

The cozy atmosphere of his own nest awakened Ai Lang's fatigue all over. He shamelessly asked Zhuang Lin to take a bath with him. Perhaps this afternoon's parting was a torment for both of them. Zhuang Lin didn't shyly shirk as in the past, but Nodding in agreement.

Zhuang Lin waited on Ai Lang to take a bath, and Ai Lang took a very comfortable bath. Unfortunately, there is no bathtub in his bathroom. It is not convenient for the two of them to make out while standing, and there is nowhere to put their long legs while sitting.

Ailang turned his back to Zhuang Lin, with his forearms propped flat on the bathroom wall, squinting and whimpering to enjoy Zhuang Lin's back rubbing service.

Ai Lang: "I always feel... that person doesn't look like a good person."

Zhuang Lin: "Huh?"

Ai Lang lowered his head and murmured: "In the afternoon...they also took me to visit their garage. Those things are just like the ancient punishment of riding a wooden donkey."

Zhuang Lin couldn't help but pause.

"Are those things really just for scaring people?"

"No, absolutely not."

Ailang talked to himself, asked himself questions, and answered his own questions. Warm water washed his back, and then a firm and warm chest pressed against him to pass on warmth.

"Senior..."

Ailang leaned into Zhuang Lin's arms, tilted his face to the side and smiled at Zhuang Lin, reached out and touched his face, and said, "I'm fine, I just want to say that that person is not a good person. How about...you check it out?"

Ailang tried to change the topic in the charming atmosphere, but Zhuang Lin stepped up his arms and tightly wrapped him in his arms.

"Senior, were you scared at the time?"

Zhuang Lin's voice was suppressed very lightly, with gentle and steady strength, easily evoking the grievance buried deep in his heart.

Ellen suddenly became quiet.

A moment of silence.

Ai Lang turned his back to Zhuang Lin, and replied, "Well..."

Ellen lowered his head and his voice was very soft.He can still recall the helplessness and despair when he stood in the garage and looked at the high wall behind him.

Zhuang Lin rubbed the back of Ai Lang's neck, put it in his ear and coaxed softly: "I promised the senior that nothing will happen if the senior goes, don't be afraid..."

Ai Lang only thought that Zhuang Lin was comforting him, took a deep breath, turned around and said with a smile: "But, I was really afraid at the time, and it's also true that I want you to give me an in-depth examination now."

Zhuang Lin grabbed Ai Lang's restless hand, but met his smiling eyes.Zhuang Lin hesitated to speak, but in the end he still compromised with beauty.
