President Ba’s Little Rose

Swim back to the room, the floor-to-ceiling windows were empty, and Zhang Qi didn't know where he was going.

Shen Xizhi stood by the pool, lowered her eyes, drew a sip of water, and lay quietly on the palm of her hand with a bend of the moon.

Just now.

That man, mistakenly identified her as the Kraken?

Moreover, he said it in such a playful tone.

That voice reminded her of the casual and gentle man she saw on the street in the evening.

Shen Xizhi touched her hot cheek with the back of her hand, looked at the rippling water surface, and slowly blinked her eyelashes.

There is a feeling of doing something bad secretly and not daring to tell others.

After taking a shower, Shen Xizhi wiped her hair out. Her hair had been wiped half-dry, and she was no longer dripping wet.

She wore a white nightdress with suspenders, exposing her shoulders and collarbone. Under the white crystal lights of the hotel, she made her skin white, and she looked flawless, as if she was a fine gelatinous white jade.

The phone rang suddenly, and Shen Xizhi took the towel and picked it up. It was a video from her mother.

"Zhizhi, how did you play in Sanya today?"

Shen Xizhi looked at the screen, raised the corners of her lips, smiled at her eyebrows, and replied, "It's too hot today. I spent a day with Qiqi on the phone in the hotel."

"You kid." I've long been used to my daughter being so lazy, Jiang Tianzi said a few words symbolically: "If you have time to play with your mobile phone in the hotel, don't you come back to accompany your mom and dad?"

Shen Xizhi paused while holding the towel, scratching her scalp with her fingers, not knowing what happened, she had a rebellious mentality.

It probably didn't take long for her to fight with Shen Mingxuan. Although Shen Mingxuan made concessions, she still didn't get the result she wanted. Shen Xizhi said irritably: "You and Dad are very busy every day, often not at home, go to the village for research or business trips, only ten days and a half months, where do you need me to accompany?"

Being confronted by her like this, Jiang Tianzi frowned, and Shen Mingxuan's voice came from behind, very stern: "Zhizhi, how did you talk to your mother?"

"Am I wrong?" Shen Xizhi tore off the towel from his head and threw it on the bed. Her voice increased, and she was slightly aggrieved: "Can you spend three days at home every month? Just such a little time, you still Said I didn't go back to accompany you. Did you accompany me?"

Footsteps came from the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the windows were pushed open. Zhang Qi walked in in a swimsuit, soaked all over, leaving a wet footprint on the floor as soon as he walked.

She happily said, "Xizhi, I didn't see anything just now, there is no sea monster." After speaking, she noticed Shen Xizhi's red eyes, her voice immediately lowered, and asked, "Xizhi, what's the matter? "

"Zhizhi, Dad knows that your mother and I are busy with work and have neglected you a lot. What your mother said just now did not mean to accuse you. If you can forgive us, we will not force you." Shen Xizhi's hands Shen Mingxuan's voice came from his mobile phone.

Shen Xizhi raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Qi, the hand that did not hold the phone, and gestured at her with an OK gesture.

Then he blinked, holding back the astringency in his eyes, "I know, Dad, I couldn't hold back my emotions just now."

She is usually very obedient to her parents and rarely talks back to her parents. Just now, for some reason, her emotions suddenly came up, and she just complained.

Shen Mingxuan on the other side smiled, and said in a gentle voice: "Then Zhizhi, don't be sad, such a big girl, how embarrassing it is to cry? Your mother and I will retire in two years, and we will stay home with you every day. no?"

Shen Xizhi sniffed and nodded. He added: "You speak your words."

After hanging up the video, she raised her eyes and turned to Zhang Qi's enlarged face.

Zhang Qi leaned close to her at some point, bent over, and looked at her carefully.

"What are you doing?" Shen Xizhi put down the phone, picked up the towel and continued to wipe her hair, moved aside and sat a little further away, "What were you doing so excited just now?"

Zhang Qi is wet, not sitting, arched, his eyes are subtle: "Secretary Shen will retire in two years?"

"Where do I know." Shen Xizhi's tone didn't matter, but the corners of her mouth rose. If Mom and Dad are really retired, they can be at home every day, and their family can be together every day.

Zhang Qi stretched out a finger and nodded in the air, "Shen Xizhi, you secretly smile! Secretary Shen said that he is going to retire, are you very happy?"

The girl raised a long leg, put it on the edge of the bed, tilted her head, and her chin was small. She asked with a beating, "You regret that your idol Secretary Shen's official career did not last?"

Shen Mingxuan is the secretary of the Lishi Municipal Party Committee and once held important positions in the province, but he is approachable and superior in appearance. He is a middle-aged American uncle.

At the same time, he is also Zhang Qi's idol.

"Yes, it's a pity." Zhang Qi went to get his pajamas, took two steps, turned his head, and said with a sigh: "In fact, Secretary Shen is still very young. If you want to go up, this age is very suitable."

Shen Xizhi smiled non-committal, and said nothing.

Everyone pursues differently. At this age, family reunion is what Shen Mingxuan wants most.

Played in Sanya for a few days.

The next night, Shen Xizhi swam to the place where he went that night.

But never saw the thin figure again.

Also failed.

Judge whether that shadow is the man I glimpsed that day.

On the return flight, Shen Xizhi was emotionally languid.

Zhang Qi on the side downloaded a stand-alone mini game last night. At this time, Zheng Huan, who was playing with his mobile phone, encountered a level and couldn't make it through. He elbows Shen Xizhi next to him, "Zhizhi."

"What?" Shen Xizhi raised her confused eyes, Xing Miao glanced at Zhang Qi, the end of her eyes raised.

Zhang Qi leaned forward and lit the screen, "Help me pass this level."

Without a word, Shen Xizhi took the phone with one hand. Zhang Qi used a black phone in order to pretend to be cool. The fuselage lined the girl's fingertips with slender and white skin, with distinct finger bones. The fingernails on the fingertips were slightly longer, but they were neatly trimmed, making them a pretty hand.

After operating that hand a few times on the screen, it passed the test quickly, and he stuffed the phone to Zhang Qi, and Shen Xizhi continued to hold his cheek with one hand, looking at the sky outside the window.

"Eh, what's the matter with you? A look of unwillingness?" Zhang Qi passed the test, took the time to glance at Shen Xizhi, and asked when she saw her depressed.

Shen Xizhi tapped her nails lightly on the window edge, her expression vacant, and her tone faint: "Thinking of a man."

Zhang Qi:?

Zhang Qi: "Which man? Su Yang?"

"Su Yang?" Shen Xizhi looked out the window, revealing a half-lined profile face. From this angle, the eyelashes were extraordinarily long, thick and curled, and the end of the eyelashes seemed to be full of sunlight. She snorted, "Where is the man I think is good-looking."

Zhang Qi asked: "...who do you think?"

Shen Xizhi turned her face, with a serious expression in her eyes, and said in a very serious manner: "What I think is a peerless beauty, how can Su Yang's kind of ordinary people compare with him."

Zhang Qi: "..." Is there any difference between saying and not saying.

After getting off the plane and seeing the person who came to pick him up, Shen Xizhi pulled Zhang Qi to hide behind the pillar in the airport, adjusted his expression before going out.

It was her cousin Shen Qing who came to pick her up.

Shen Qingyi leaned on the side of the car, playing with his mobile phone. The sunlight was a bit dazzling, but his eyebrows were cold, like walking ice.

Both Shen Xizhi and Zhang Qi converged.

When approaching Shen Qingyi's side, Shen Xizhi shouted: "Brother."

Shen Qingyi raised her eyes and swept her gaze with no warmth, and pointed her chin to the back seat: "Get in the car."

Shen Xizhi swallowed, raised her hand to cover her eyes, pretending to be casual, and pushed the suitcase in front of her.

The implication is very obvious.

Shen Qingyi helped them put their suitcases in the trunk and drove them home.

on the car.

Shen Xizhi praised very carefully: "Brother, you seem to be handsome again today."

Both of them sat in the back seat, and Shen Xizhi finished the praise and kicked Zhang Qi.

"Yeah, you are really handsome again." Zhang Qi also said hurriedly.

Shen Xizhi nodded in satisfaction, and gave Zhang Qi a thumbs up behind him.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Shen Qingyi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Oh, playing with my mobile phone and playing myopia."

Shen Xizhi took a deep breath, restrained her anger, and lowered the car window. The hot air from outside the window filled in, but she didn't calm down at all.

Shen Qing's translation at the front added a sentence that is not salty or indifferent: "The aesthetics has also declined."

Shen Xizhi couldn't bear it, and said aggrieved: "Brother! I praise you, can you stop being so venomous?"

As the car passed a curve, Shen Qingyi said calmly: "I don't need you to praise me."

alright.

This plastic sibling relationship.

Although in the car, Shen Qingyi had been attacking her, but still sent her and Zhang Qi home.

She didn't walk a few steps when she got out of the car, and the people behind her stopped her: "Shen Xizhi."

Shen Xizhi looked back.

One hand came out from the lowered half of the car window, and there was a small box in that hand. Shen Qing in the car translated: "For you, a gift for further studies."

Shen Xizhi took the box and said, "Thank you brother."

The person in the window didn't respond, the window rose up and drove away.

Shen Xizhi opened the box. It was a necklace studded with large rubies. The gems were carved into the shape of a rose. It was crystal clear in the sun, and it was too beautiful.

She curled her mouth.

This brother is duplicity.

The college entrance examination results came out two days later, and Shen Xizhi did a good job in the exam, so he chose C well.

She fills the Department of Architecture, which is what she likes. She has some talents in painting, and she has also been interested in architecture since she was a child.

In the past few days while waiting for the notice at home, Shen Mingxuan and Jiang Tianzi were busy with work and did not go home.

I heard that an investor from another province came here, the kind with money and power. He wants to develop tourism in Lishi. Shen Mingxuan didn't want to ask people from other provinces to share this cup of soup, and he was busy with a few leaders in the city.

In mid-July, Shen Xizhi waited for the admission notice from the C Department of Architecture.

These days she has been hanging around with friends, but when she is free, a figure will come to mind.

A quick glance at the streets of Sanya, he didn't even see the appearance.

She thought about it for a long time.

Shen Mingxuan was idle, preparing to hold a college entrance banquet for his daughter, inviting relatives and friends to celebrate Shen Xizhi's entrance into school.

The venue for the banquet was set at the old house of Shen's house.

Shen Mingxuan asked Shen Xizhi to invite classmates and friends over.

She and Zhang Qi have been shopping in the mall for a long time, but they didn't see a dress that suits their wishes.

Shen Xizhi inserted the straw into the milk tea, with his palm pressed against the cup body: "I want to invite all the classmates in our class, including You Lingbai, for this college banquet."

Zhang Qi took a sip of the milk tea: "You must be beautiful this time, and press down You Lingbai!"

Shen Xizhi held her cheek in distress: "But I didn't find a suitable dress."

Shen Xizhi and You Lingbai have been compared since childhood.

Compared to his family, Shen Xizhi won steadily. Shen Xizhi is more beautiful than her appearance, and You Ling is pure and pure.

In normal times, the two have similar styles and both follow a pure line.

Shen Xizhi grew a face that was not a good woman at first glance. His eyebrows and eyebrows were too delicate, his lips were red, and the eyes and closed eyes seemed to be discharging.

You Lingbai is approachable and innocent, like the white skirt class flower in countless TV dramas.

Zhang Qi thought for a while, then suddenly thought: "Xi Zhi, don't take the pure route this time, just go into the beauty, the more beautiful the better, the beauty is over You Lingbai! Kill her!"

The two of them did what they said, customizing a red tube top and pinching waist dress.

On the day the banquet started, Shen Xizhi spent a long time dressing up.

Zhang Qi came to report on the progress from time to time, and came in at once and said: "You Lingbai is here! Su Yang is with him!"

After a while, he said, "My God! Xi Zhi, you didn't go. All the boys in our class glanced at You Lingbai. You didn't know, the eyeballs were about to fall off."

The makeup artist put on makeup, and Shen Xizhi looked into the mirror and trimmed the broken hair on her forehead.

Zhang Qi came in again with a loud voice: "Xi Zhi! You don't know what the group of girls said about you, saying that you are not as pretty as You Lingbai, so Su Yang dumped you and was with You Lingbai!"

Shen Xizhi sneered after hearing this, this group of students can really reverse black and white.

She put on her necklace and stood up, "Let's go out."

Zhang Qi today wore a white gown for the sake of Ying You Lingbai.

The two went out with their arms crossed, passing by the rose garden of the old house, stepping on the gravel road under their feet, and reaching the main hall of the banquet.

There are people dancing on the dance floor, and most of the classmates are at a loss for the first time attending such a wealthy banquet.

When Shen Xizhi arrived, the girls' whispers became quieter and the boys' eyes straightened. Even Su Yang subconsciously let go of You Lingbai's hand and looked at Shen Xizhi.

Shen Xizhi smiled sweetly and inadvertently fell on You Lingbai beside Su Yang.

"I didn't guess wrong, she is wearing white again." Zhang Qi pulled the hem of his skirt, whispering sarcastically, "It's just a pure white lotus."

Shen Xizhi took a bottle of red wine on the stage, and just smiled lightly, "Everyone here, don't be uncomfortable and have fun."

In the evening, the banquet officially began.

Many people invited Shen Xizhi to dance the first dance. She had dressed up and wore a red skirt. Her eyebrows were overly gorgeous, but she was just right to suppress this gorgeousness and did not appear to be frivolous.

At 7:20, Shen Qing's translation was long overdue.

Everyone greeted him one after another and called Lord Shen. But he didn't recognize the young man next to him.

Someone asked, "Master Shen, who is this young man?"

Others said: "Looking like Young Master Qiao?"

"Young Master Qiao also came to Lishi?"

"Sir Joe is free to have dinner with me? I want to ask Joe Joe for something."

Shen Qing's translation introduced: "It is indeed Qiao Zong."

The people around again complimented Qiao Zong.

Qiao Zong just smiled, his smile was gentle and elegant, he was obviously very cold, but it made people feel amiable.

He didn't speak much, but the aura around his body was deliberately calm.

After dealing with everyone, Shen Qingyi took Qiao Zong to the main hall.

Passing by the rose garden on the road.

The night was deep and the street lights were bright, Qiao Zong gave the rose a glance. Seeing that the flower is gorgeous and full of vitality, he couldn't help but said, "This flower is blooming pretty well."

"You mean this useless rose?" Shen Qingyi's tone was slightly ironic.

The two have been friends for many years, and Qiao Zong is also used to him talking like this. He bent down, stroked a rose petal with his fingertips, raised his eyebrows, peach blossom eyes slightly raised, and said warmly, "Why is it useless?"

Shen Qing translated as she walked and said, "My cousin grew it. She cleaned up these useless when she was in high school."

Qiao narrowed his eyebrows, his expression darkened slightly.

After speaking, he arrived at the main hall.

There were a bunch of people around the dance floor, most of them very young faces, all talking about the same thing.

After Shen Qing had translated it, those voices lowered, but Qiao Zong could hear them clearly.

He heard two names.

Shen Xizhi, You Lingbai.

There was soothing pure music on the dance floor, and he followed everyone's eyes.

There are two people dancing on the dance floor.

One wears a tuxedo and the other wears a red dress.

He curled his lips slightly, and set his eyes on the girl in the red dress.

The girl's appearance is very full, with snow-skinned black hair and red lips.

Wearing a red dress, her long hair is slightly rolled up, and some are scattered on her shoulders. Her shoulders are round, her collarbone is deeply sunken, and her neck is long and beautiful.

Qiao Zong's gaze fell on her waist which was held by someone.

The waist was so full that it was less than a grip, as if it could be pinched off with one hand.

As if perceiving something, the girl suddenly looked towards him.

Obviously it was a very beautiful face, but those eyes were clear, and the apricot eyes were clean, like the sky after rain and clear weather.

Qiao Zong's black eyes met the girl's gaze.

The light reflected on his face mottled, and there was a kind of hazy haziness, as if looking at flowers in the fog, it was not true. He looked at Shen Xizhi, and at an extremely slow speed, he raised his eyebrows playfully, and the corners of his lips curled up with a smile.

The whole temperament is extremely loose, but also extremely alienated and indifferent.

Shen Xizhi's dance steps stopped and her heart jumped.

The music on the dance floor stopped.

The originally staggered laser spotlight was also fixed on Qiao Zong's body.

The surrounding eyes fell on the strange man's body, You Lingbai's eyes did not move away, and he fixed on the man's face without blinking.

This man has great temperament, elegant and indifferent.

She gave birth to a pair of peach blossom eyes that were not serious, the tails of the eyes were slightly drooping, the eyes were gentle in shape, but their expressions were faint.

Qiao Zong's gaze fell on the girl in the red dress.

This girl was like the rose that he had just seen.

Yan is amazing.
