Chapter 59

After leaving school, Xu Qiao and Cheng Lang went back to the nearby hotel.

Cheng Lang's house is not far away, but he guesses that Xu Qiao won't want to live with him, and he doesn't have the reason to leave his girlfriend alone. So he greets his family and opens a suite with her in the hotel.

Two people originally live together in the domestic state, to the outside of course, there is no need to separate, but the bedroom or two.

Because of the school accident, the two did not go anywhere else, dinner in the nearest hotel to solve.

Xu Qiao feels guilty for Cheng Lang, thinking that it's good not to go to school, or that she can't walk gracefully. She goes back to the hotel and takes care of him.

Of course, he didn't see any abnormal symptoms later. She just took the initiative to do some work that she would not have done before, such as preparing bathrobes and pajamas for him before taking a bath, heating a glass of milk for him before going to bed, and setting up tomorrow's suits, ties, cufflinks and wristwatches.

While Xu Qiao felt that her girlfriend was really capable, she still thought that Cheng Lang was not simply carsick. She kept talking all night and asked him to ask a doctor to check him.

Cheng Lang always said that he didn't have to. He said that he had a detailed physical examination a few days ago.

In fact, if you want to make Xu Qiao's heart safe, he can arrange for a family doctor to come and collude with her to cheat her.

But Cheng Lang didn't want to.

A spoiled little girl was willing to wait on him all night, which made him feel guilty. He didn't want to keep telling her a hundred lies in order to hide the first thing.

When before going to bed, Xu Qiao plans to use the clumsy technique of "courtesy is light and affection is heavy" to pinch his shoulder and massage for him, he refuses her, sits on the edge of the bed and pulls people into his arms: "it's really OK. If you go on like this, I'll have something to do."

"What's the matter?" Xu Qiao sat on his lap and looked at him.

Cheng Lang raised his head slightly and looked into her eyes: "I may..."

Maybe I can't help but kiss her here.

"Well?" Xu Qiao blinked.

"I'll like you so much." Because he couldn't take any risks for the time being, he put it in a more implicit way.

Xu Qiao a Leng under "wow" a, take index finger gently poke his shoulder: "don't you like me so much?"

"I like it better." He replied with a smile.

"Oh?" Xu Qiao put his hands around his neck and said, "how much do you like me now?"

Cheng Lang glances at the bed under them.

“……” What a perverse hint!

She pushed him: "you are so shallow! You are just greedy for your girlfriend's body

Cheng Lang shook his head.

Xu Qiao exploded again and looked down at her proud figure: "you are not greedy? What else do you want? "

Cheng Lang laughs: "it's greedy, but I'm not greedy - that's my level."

It is said that "like is presumptuous, love is restrained", the answer is undoubtedly satisfactory.

Xu Qiao couldn't help laughing. She leaned over and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.

Cheng Lang looks at her unexpectedly.

"I'll give you a little bit of sweetness first." She said.

Cheng Lang holds people tightly with a smile: "thank you very much."

-

after being gentle with Xu Qiao for a while and taking her back to the opposite room, Cheng Lang probes his forehead. A little sweat, but not much, other symptoms are not obvious.

Normally, this is a good phenomenon, but today's situation in school makes him uncertain about his illness.

He closed the door on his side of the room, let out a deep breath, and called Stephen.

This is the psychiatrist he used to be when he was treated in London.

After returning home, because he interrupted the regular psychotherapy, he accepted Stephen's advice and tried to desensitize himself. So he only let song Mian manage his basic health as a general practitioner, and did not hire a new psychologist in China.

When he got through, he gave Steven a brief account of today's experience and confirmed, "is it possible that my condition will deteriorate?"

Stephen's attitude is always calm: "before drawing a conclusion, I hope you can explain to me what your attitude towards your girlfriend is when you meet that transvestite, including after the incident?"

"I have no idea of resisting her, instead..."

"We've been dealing with each other for so many years, you can be direct," Stephen encouraged

"Instead, I've become more eager to be close to her. I held her subconsciously when I got sick, but the symptoms didn't get worse. Instead, I got comfort from it. "

"The current situation should not worsen, but improve." Stephen said happily, "this unexpected shock may prove that your phobia has a certain 'specificity' and no longer completely contradicts the female group. Of course, I can't guarantee that you can have normal contact with women other than your girlfriend. After all, there is no experiment... "

"I'm not going to do this experiment." Cheng Lang cut off his words. After finishing, he had a little meal. He didn't seem to expect that he would blurt out like this.Stephen laughed: "Oh, don't get me wrong, I didn't suggest you do this experiment. If you plan to spend the rest of your life with your current girlfriend, you don't need to work with her at all."

After a moment's silence, Cheng Lang asked, "according to the current progress, how long will it take for me to completely desensitize?"

"I can't make a decision by phone. Well, since you are in London, maybe we can arrange a face-to-face consultation."

Cheng Lang thought, "my schedule is not very convenient these days. I'll contact you if I have a chance."

-

at 1 p.m. the next day, Xu Qiao and Cheng Lang set out from the hotel and went to the exhibition hall to attend the opening ceremony of London high-end jewelry exhibition.

Because Xu Qiao is a designer with her works, she needs to be present earlier than the ordinary guests who are invited to attend the opening ceremony. Therefore, Cheng Lang, who never shows up too early in public, rarely becomes the first group of guests to be present actively in order to accompany his girlfriend. When she arrives at the banquet hall, there are only one third of the guests.

As soon as Xu Qiao arrived at the gate of the hall, she was received by the person in charge of the jewelry Association and went to the exhibition center. She did not show up in the banquet hall with Cheng Lang.

When Cheng Lang comes in alone, he has a taste of eating soft food. His girlfriend is busy working, but he comes here to have afternoon tea.

The banquet hall is resplendent and resplendent. The crystal ceiling is suspended in the platinum dome, reflecting the thick and colorful murals on all sides, and the long dining table is covered with fine wine and food.

Cheng Lang's arrival attracted the eyes of many guests, and soon someone recognized him. It seemed that he didn't expect to be present so early as he was, so he came to say hello.

There was a voice that got into Cheng Lang's ears before English, French, Italian and Spanish.

Because that's the mother tongue.

"Mr. Lang?" Jiang fangshakai's companion took her hand and wiped her disbelieving eyes. "When did you come to London?"

Cheng Lang smiles and nods to the foreign guests. After shaking hands with them in different languages, he takes time to answer him: "yesterday."

"The last time I mentioned this jewelry exhibition in the group, you didn't say you were coming." Jiang Fang said jokingly, "are you deliberately shaking me off?"

As soon as they saw that Jiang Fang and Cheng Lang were very close and familiar, they knew how to look at each other even if they wanted to get along with each other. They didn't disturb them any more, so they stepped aside temporarily.

Cheng Lang picked up a white wine from the gold-plated tray in the waiter's hand and gently touched the goblet in Jiang let go: "not intentionally..."

Jiang Fanggang was relieved and heard the second half of the sentence: "is it careless?"

He was stunned and angry: "Hey, what do you mean, you really don't treat me as a brother? I asked my sister-in-law for a wechat last Christmas Eve, but I didn't get it in the end. As for you? "

"That's not so. After all, she has a good eye."

“……”

Cheng Lang showed a "for you" expression: "I just think that you should not want to be a light bulb."

"Oh," Jiang Fang looked around. "So my sister-in-law is here, too?"

"I'm going to see the jewelry Association. I'll be back later."

"And you're not with her?"

"It's not that she hasn't seen the world and can cope with it. I'll accompany her and make people pay attention to me."

"Well intentioned." Jiang Fang murmured, looking back at the submissive female companion in the corner, "ah, this is a serious love affair. You really have to find someone who has seen the world. It's not a lie to be right."

Cheng Lang looks at the little girl in the corner and glances at him: "new girlfriend?"

"No, it's not an empty window. I hired a little sister to be a temporary female companion. I'm pretty good at it. I just don't know how to socialize. I just hide from people and dare to talk to me." Jiang sighed and looked at Cheng Lang enviously.

Cheng Lang patted him on the shoulder twice, which means "I can't envy him".

New guests are coming to the ballroom.

Cheng Lang and Jiang Fang have a drink and sit on the sofa chatting.

Seeing Wen Yue, Hua Yin and Zhou Fei come in side by side, Cheng Lang glances at them when they just reach him.

Wen Yue's sight is awkwardly lost, so he has to turn around and put it on Jiang Fang.

Jiang shakes his wine glass and smiles at her. He and others walk over and pestle Cheng Lang: "you are not a gentleman. What's the matter? Didn't you treat all the women in the world as treasures before? "

Cheng Lang didn't speak.

If it is an ordinary object, he certainly will not abandon the basic etiquette because he has a girlfriend, but Wen Yue has ideas for him and seems to be particularly good at imagination.

According to Xu Qiao, his gentleman complex may become a kind of "leeway" in Wen Yue's eyes.

To leave such hope for a person whose girlfriend has hated for many years, he has to have Cheng Ye's brain to do so.

Wen Yue, who takes wine at the long dining table in the distance, doesn't look very good.

Hua Yin and Zhou Fei surrounded her from left to right and said in a low voice, "he may be sitting next to Jiang Fang, so he just avoided suspicion a little bit.""Yes, you can see that Xu Qiao didn't show up. She brought people to London and didn't want to let her show up. Isn't that just a" pastime "she carries with her? Cheng Lang never takes her to public. Can he really take her seriously? What's a girlfriend? It's just nice. Only those who see the light are called girlfriends. Those who can't see the light are in essence nurturing. "

"Don't say that either." Wen Yue frowned.

"Feifei, what's wrong with that? It's just that. If I were a man, I would be ashamed to bring her out."

This voice has just dropped. In the corner, Fu Li quietly gets up and walks to the sofa area where Cheng Lang and Jiang Fang are.

Jiang Fang waved to her: "sister Lihua, here."

Fu Li sat down beside him and folded her hands into a trumpet: "brother Jiang, is the big boss next to you surnamed Cheng?"

Jiang put a Leng: "ask this do what, people have a girlfriend, don't think about it."

"That's not what I mean..." Fu Li continued to gather the trumpet and said, "I heard three elder sisters over there saying bad things about his girlfriend. Do you have a good relationship? Should you tell him?"

"Well? What did you say? " Jiang let go of his curiosity.

Fu Li told Wen Yue, Hua Yin and Zhou Fei about it.

"Tut, it's no wonder that the waves are not so rare that they have to deal with these people." Jiang Fang shook his head and told Fu Li, "don't listen to their sarcasm on the surface. In fact, they are very sad. One by one, they want to be raised by us. Even if they can't see the light, they will continue."

Cheng Lang looked at him and said, "what are you talking about?"

Jiang Fang leaned over and whispered to him.

Cheng Lang glanced at the three in the distance, picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to Xu Qiao: "when will you come to the banquet hall? "It took Xu Qiao half an hour to come back and say," come on, the teachers of the association are so enthusiastic. The former president of the association is here today, and he pulled me to say a lot. "

Cheng Lang smiles and says," can you bear it? "

Xu Qiao:" the communication here is OK. There's no problem with English. I can't bear to have a few colleagues from Italy and Spain, but some friends help me translate. "

Cheng Lang:" so soon? "

Xu Qiao:" of course, who do you look down on? I just didn't want to go out and make friends like those plastic sisters, OK? Oh, don't pester me. It's not decent to play with mobile phones! "

Cheng Lang:" OK, let me know five minutes in advance. "

Cheng Lang puts down his mobile phone with a smile, and when Xu Qiao sends a message saying" here we are ", he takes a new wine and walks towards the center of the banquet hall.

Seeing that he was alone, Wen Yue seemed determined. He picked up his goblet and walked to him: "Cheng Lang, I think Miss Xu misunderstood me yesterday. I want to explain to you..."

Cheng Lang smiles: "Miss Wen is free now?"

Wenyue a Leng: "I'm not busy."

"Yes? I had a good time listening to Miss Wen talking with her friends just now. "

Wen Yue Zheng Zheng, looked at the area he was in before. There's no reason to hear that.

She calmed down and said, "we're just chatting." Then I will continue to explain yesterday to Cheng Lang.

But Cheng Lang said first: "Miss Wen's hobby is to slander people by chatting?"

Wen Yue's face changed.

"It's said that Miss Wen and Miss Zhao have a lot of friendship," Cheng Lang laughs. "I've expressed some words to Miss Zhao once before, but she doesn't seem to understand me. For the sake of avoiding Miss Wen and Miss Zhao, I'll make it simple this time."

Wen Yue's eyes flickered at him, and the liquor in his goblet kept shaking.

"I said, I'm not too embarrassed to change people who know their mistakes. The meaning of this is --" Cheng Lang looked at her with a smile in a low voice. "If you don't change after repeated education, be careful what comes out of your mouth."

After Cheng Lang finished, he nodded to her as a sign of departure and turned to leave.

Wen Yue stood still.

Cheng Lang didn't need to talk about Zhao Baoxing. He said it because he was reminding her of Zhao Baoxing's fate.

It turns out that Cheng Lang is the driving force behind Zhao Baoxing's scandal.

Shocked too much, Wen Yue subconsciously held the edge of the long dining table, raised his eyes, saw the banquet hall is outside, a line of all kinds of people are approaching.

In the crowd, the woman who came into the banquet hall was dazzling.

A high-grade customized dark blue Strapless star sky skirt outlines the superior gold waist hip ratio. She walks with a smile on her high heels. Every step is bright and moving, and every step is like stepping under the spotlight.

It seems that she is still the one who easily catches everyone's eyes as soon as she appears on the stage. She never falls into the dust.

Even strangely, she seemed more brilliant than ever.

It's not because of gorgeous clothes or expensive famous brands, but because of charm.

Wen Yue doesn't quite understand why Xu Qiao, a vase like this, can show up in front of all the dignified celebrities.Then the answer came out quickly.

Because of the appearance of the former president of the jewelry Association, Ma Peier, and the jewelry designers, all the guests came here together.

Cheng Lang, more than anyone else, smiles and nods to Mabel and says in standard English, "nice to meet you, Ms. Mabel." After that, look at Xu Qiao behind her.

"Oh, Cheng." Ma Pei Er has a friendship with Cheng's mother. Of course, she knows Cheng Lang well. Seeing him staring at Xu Qiao, she said in English, "this is the youngest jewelry designer in this exhibition, Yu Li."

Wen Yue is stunned, the wine cup in the hand almost slips from the fingertip.

Hua Yin and Zhou Fei cover their mouths and look at each other.

Cheng Lang looked at Xu Qiao with a smile and took her hand: "it seems that she didn't mention me to you."

Xu Qiao pushed him and compared with him: what to do?

Mapel was stunned: "Oh, this is

Cheng Lang smiles and links Xu Qiao's fingers, explaining to Mapel, "maybe my boyfriend is not worth her showing off."

After marveling, Mapel laughed: "how can it be? It's a great pleasure. You're golden together. "

Cheng Lang shook his head in the envious eyes of all the men and women in the room, said with a smile, "I think today's me is just her foil."

Xu Qiao pinched his fingers, suggesting that he almost got ha.

Ma Pei er said with a smile that Cheng Lang was modest, and then praised Xu Qiao, saying that she should be modest if she has such an excellent girlfriend. Obviously, this old lady who has been in the world for many years can see that Cheng Lang hopes to use her mouth to correct her girlfriend's name and tell people something.

The beauty of success, why not? Ma Pei Er gives Cheng Lang this face, cooperate with him to talk about Xu Qiao's works, and walk to the center of the banquet hall.

The guests followed and looked at Xu Qiao all the way.

At the end of this episode, Mapel took the microphone to say a face-to-face speech, and welcomed all the distinguished guests to the exhibition. The opening ceremony is about to begin, please move.

Xu Qiao is finally free from the public attention. When they go to the main entrance of the banquet hall, they fall behind with Cheng Lang and ask him in a low voice: "why do you suddenly show your love by throwing dog food? Are you stimulated? "

Cheng Lang didn't want to mention the unpleasantness just now.

He'll stop the gossip. She just wants to be happy.

So he took the opportunity to say, "well, it's a little bit exciting."

"What happened while I was away?" Xu Qiao blinked.

"It happened when you were there." Cheng Lang took her waist and stroked her smooth shoulder line slowly. His eyes fell on her white and jade clavicle and the snow-white hill, "where's your shawl? I'm still wearing it when I go out. "

Xu Qiao looked down at her bra skirt: "it's so warm here. It's stupid to wear a shawl."

Cheng Lang sighed, gently took her left hand, touched the diamond ring on her index finger: "can you change this ring to the middle finger?"

The ring on the left index finger represents unmarried, and the ring on the middle finger represents love. In Western tradition, if a girl wears a ring on her left middle finger, it means she refuses to pursue.

Xu Qiao didn't think so much about it. She habitually wore it on her index finger before going out.

"Why change it?" She pretended not to understand and asked him with a smile.

Cheng Lang lowered his head slightly, bit her earlobe and said, "because the way those men look at you makes me want to take you away from here at once."
