"It's not your turn to make decisions about my people."

Early the next morning, Lin Jian woke up in his hotel bedroom. The morning sunlight of the early fall sunshine filtered into the room through a gap in the draped curtains, and poured onto the side of Lin Jian's face with a little glittering light.

Lin Jian sat up from the bed and leaned against the head of the bed slowly relaxing his stiff shoulders and back.

These years he relied on the young body base good, whether in the academic or re-creative awards, the fight is a little hard, drawings to catch up with the design, often a big night and a day to stay up, so that now, although the body does not appear to have any major problems, but the shoulder and neck strain is a little serious.

Especially when I woke up in the morning, my shoulders, neck and back were so stiff that they were like stone blocks made of bone and flesh, and the slightest movement would make them sore and painful, and I had to take my time for a long time before I could gradually relax.

While Lin Jian was sitting on his bed, he flipped through the chat logs and found that last night Fang Jingwei notified the project workgroup that their bidding proposal had officially passed the evaluation and the project had been awarded!

As designers, they should have a very tight schedule ahead of them. The project team will soon begin contacting the construction contractor, and will be on site daily to monitor the progress of the project according to the schedule, as well as to ensure that the progress of the project is consistent with the original design plan.

Lin Jian doesn't care much about any of this, and there's one exclusive perk for him that no one else has--

The project was taken down, which meant he would have to settle in the city for a minimum of two and a half years.

Fang Jingwei notified all the members to return to work tomorrow, and he replied "Got it" along with other members in the group, and just as he pressed the send button, his cell phone vibrated.

Lin Jian looked at the caller's number on the screen and moved his shoulder blades from side to side, which had slowed down almost to a crawl, making two crunching sounds.

Good, loose and fast, subjective conditions are in place for a fight.

On the other side of the phone, Xu Yang's voice was hoarse and weak, with a strong nasal sound after a hangover, "I Lin ah ...... I'm so hard ......"

Lin Jian: "......"

How come you didn't drink yourself to death.

"Wait." Lin Jian got up cleanly and went to the bathroom to wash up, "I'll clean you up in five minutes."

"Aang......" Xu Yang agreed quickly, "Can you order room service for me before you kill me, man I'm hungry."

"......"

Twenty minutes later, Lin Jian and Xu Yang were sitting at a table in 2308 when the waiter left with a cart to bring breakfast.

Last night tossed into the middle of the night, Lin Jian in fact is not much appetite, on the contrary, Xu flow, after a big drink, it seems that the appetite is not affected in the slightest, eat everything.

Lin Jian was puzzled by this.

"You don't understand." Xu Yang ate a bowl of chicken soup small wontons, last night's alcohol-ravaged intestines finally ironed comfort, so patiently for his friend to solve the puzzle, "the drinking game can eat anything, in addition to drink or drink, if the next day and then do not eat properly, in the long run is equal to chronic self-gar, so the first meal after drinking is particularly important."

Lin Jian expressionlessly pointed out the logic loophole: "So why don't you stop in time, just don't drink like that."

"Hey ...... life has wine must be drunk, since the song and dance since the happy ah!" Xu Yang said, "At a glance, you are not a person in our cup, and have never experienced the fun and beauty of being drunk."

Lin Jian laughed softly and took a small sip from his coffee cup, not responding to his remark.

"Right!" Xu Yang suddenly thought of something, reaching out to Lin Jian hand side of another bowl of wontons in mid-air, said in disbelief, "I last night ...... seems to be ...... that what, ahem- -"

"Have you been drinking to your brain?" Lin Jian looked down at him in disgust, "Can't you talk properly anymore?"

"No, oops I'm not ......" Xu Yang tangled apprehension for a moment, glanced across the table, and grunted out in a low voice, "I'm not afraid to say that you're not comfortable with it in your heart ......"

"......" Lin Jian : "If you can put it in, put it in, if you can't, hold it back."

"Put put put put!" Xu Yang busily answered, but still pondered for a few seconds, before saying softly, "I that what ...... should be last night to drink a lot of all hallucinations, how do I seem to ...... vaguely see that who ...... on ...... on you that ......"

He stammered and stumbled, always observing Lin Jian's expression, but in the end he didn't dare to make his words clear.

Lin Jian raised the corners of his mouth slightly, picked up the bowl of small ravioli he was holding and handed it across the table, and said calmly, "It's not a hallucination, it's him."

"......" Xu Yang stiffened incredulously for a long time before finally spitting out a splintered "Crap, crap?"

When Lin Jian gave up his acceptance letter from Tsinghua University and traveled across the ocean to the UK, and later moved to the US alone, Xu Yang, like everyone else, didn't know why at first.

But ever since he found Lin Jian in front of Penn's School of Design, he has accompanied him through a not-so-long period of hardship while understanding why his best friend chose to leave in the first place even though he was desperate to do so, after learning why he had suddenly transferred to a different school.

He fell in love with someone and was near the end of his rope.

A ...... person who can't be said, can't be touched, can't even be thought of.

"Right." Lin Jian looked at him askance and said in a muted voice, "You had the same expression last night, and you didn't even change a single line."

Xu Yang petrified state for almost a minute, and then raised his hand and rubbed his face severely, and then looked at Lin Jian sadly: "Buddy ah ...... what is the situation ah?"

"Nothing." Lin Jian looked at Xu Yang's despondent face, and inexplicably felt a bit funny, his voice unconsciously brought a bit of laughter, "I didn't expect to meet him here either, quite a coincidence."

"So you're happy." Xu Yang glares hatefully, "When did that happen?"

"Not long after coming from Hong Kong City." Lin Jian said, "Shen's and the project we're bidding on are somewhat related, and we ran into each other at the last bidding meeting."

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk ......" Xu Yang couldn't help but smack his lips for a long time, murmuring, "What kind of sinful fate is this ...... "Then received Lin Jian a eye knife, suddenly closed his voice.

"Look at you look at you look, but also do not let say." Xu Yang tried to ask, "Should not ...... you that what, just ...... still like him ah?"

Lin Jian looked at him like he was a fool, the gaze fixed with a bit of disbelief, as if to ask: what breed of retard are you, and why are you uttering this level of nonsense?

Xu Yang choked, and after a long moment, she clasped her hands in respect, "Then you're really quite a bully."

Lin Jian: "......"

"It's been so many years ah ......" For an old friend, in the end, the more informed you are, the more heartbreaking it is, Xu Yang sighs and exclaims, "How come you haven't gotten over it yet... ..."

Lin Jian laughed silently, "What kind of adjectives are you using? You usually have a hard time rounding up scripts, don't you?"

"Don't interrupt, seriously!" Xu Yang bitterly, "You two ...... do you think it is possible? Then you can't just get stuck in this bull's-eye and not come out ah, buddy, people always have to look forward to it ......."

Lin Jian collected his smile and lowered his eyes without making a sound.

Moving forward, why wouldn't he understand that.

However, he has traveled so many untraveled roads, seen so many strange and chic landscapes, circled around and around, and made several trips to the mountains and waters, only to find out in the end--

All the loveliness of the human world and the floating flowers and waves of the red dust are not as good as the one that person once looked over when he raised his eyes.

He'd fled so long and so far, only to be doomed to fall repeatedly.

What's the point of looking further ahead?

His roots are planted in him.

"So what do you want?" Xu Yang lowered his voice and tried, "Blame it on the fact that this fucking fate thing doesn't make sense, but since we met again ...... what about you chasing after it and trying it?"

Lin Jian abruptly raised his eyes, astonishment flashing from the bottom of his eyes.

"Holy shit, that look on your face-" Xu Yang almost bit his tongue, "Dude don't tell me that you ...... never thought of it that way right?"

After a long time, Lin Jian nodded his head and replied in a faint voice, "I really haven't thought about it."

"......" Xu Yang looked at him incredulously and said in horror, "Tu what, you tell me what you Tu what? Even if you're cosplaying a love interest, there's no such thing as playing for so many years at a time, right?!"

Lin Jian's fingers on the dining table curled slightly as he honestly said, "Nothing is trying, this is my business, it has nothing to do with him."

"Then you're really ......" Xu Yang stared at him with hatred for a long time, and finally held the two words that had been said through his teeth, "Bull, pussy!"

Lin Jian curled his lips meaninglessly and said, "I'm flattered."

Chasing people? It really hadn't occurred to him.

I didn't think about it then, I don't think about it now, and I'm ...... afraid I won't think about it in the future.

That's Shen Ke.

Even if he has a solitary courage, he will always be timid and obedient in front of him.

When asked the sentence "is it really impossible" is a teenager gave up half of his life to say out, and now said that chasing people ......

How dare he?

"Hey hey hey ......" Xu Yang see his silence, only hate his own mouth fast taboo, hastily interrupt to find complementary said, "I'm just so say ah, you .... . don't take it personally, huh?"

"Eat your ravioli." Lin Jian did not move to collect his emotions, glanced at the time, got up and said, "I have to go back, the project team side to meet, tomorrow to contact the engineering side, immediately start construction."

"Ah ...... hurriedly one side ah, the result is to eat a breakfast?" Xu Yang sighed without fail, throwing the small porcelain spoon in his hand, standing up and opening his arms towards Lin Jian, "Then we don't know when we'll see each other next time, come on - a brotherly hug, for the sake of years and years of attachment!"

"Be a little bit like a popular flow boy, okay?" Lin Jian inclined his head and laughed in a deep voice, then walked over and smashed his shoulder: "The project is down, I'll probably have to put down roots here for about three years, there will be a lot of chances to see each other in the future, so save your parting hugs."

Xu Yang rubbed her shoulders and looked at him and smiled, as if the two of them were still hot-blooded high school students back then: ''That's just right! I'll ask you out again when I have time! Next time we meet again, it would be a shame if you don't have a drink with me!"

"Okay." Lin Jian simply agreed.

"...... Oh, right." Xu Yang walked him to the door, before leaving the door Lin Jian said without thinking, "Thank you for that little conscience you have left, and knowing to book a room for me in advance, don't forget that one when you check out later."

"Huh?" Xu Yang inexplicably asked back, "What room?"

Lin Jian's footsteps, which had already stepped out of the doorway, slightly paused, turned around, and frowned in disgust, "Drinking stupidly? 2333's room, the deluxe suite you booked in advance."

"I ......" Xu Yang opened her mouth, and after a moment said rather innocently, "I may be a bit sorry to say it, but ...... I really didn't order it."

Lin Jian frowned suspiciously for a moment, but then he thought of something, and the hand holding the edge of the door abruptly tightened.

*

After a quick goodbye to Xu Yang, Lin Jian has devoted himself to the preparation of new projects.

Because it is an independent capital injection of municipal engineering, so the project is really implemented on the ground, need to pay attention to more details. In the three days of the winning publicity period, the project team first met with the engineering side, and then in Teng Sheng's arrangements, and the government's housing, gardening, development and reform, approval and other relevant departments, as well as the construction side of the quadrilateral talks, and so on, once the publicity period, the formal signing of the project contract.

As a project designer, in addition to controlling the progress of the project and the design concept of a high degree of unity throughout the construction process, but also with a third party to assume part of the project supervision responsibilities, so once busy, it will be difficult to have free time.

For a whole week, the project team was fully staffed, with less than 5 hours of sleep per capita per day, and almost too busy to touch the ground.

In the end, Teng Sheng side asked the feng shui master to walk on the ground, and finally determined the auspicious day for groundbreaking, and only then the people were able to take a breath of fresh air.

As for why a sizable city park project groundbreaking to find a feng shui master to see the field to count the day ...... don't ask, ask is the architectural feng shui is profound.

The night the construction time was set, Teng Sheng's Mr. Zhang, as a capitalist, said that he would save up for a banquet, and the relevant government departments, engineering parties and capitalists all sent representatives to the banquet, and Fang Jingwei, as a designer, was also pleased to accept the appointment.

That night, Lin Jian heard Fang Jingwei mentioning the drinking game at his workstation, and did not intend to participate in the response, but the vice president of Fang Jingwei said, and then turned to call his name.

Lin Jian looked up at him as Fang Jingwei smiled at him from across the aisle and said, "You and Qi Gong will come with me tonight."

Lin Jian frowned slightly and subconsciously refused, "I won't go, you'll find someone else?"

"Where can you not go?" Fang Jingwei said with a smile. Fang Jingwei smiled and said, "You are the first to take credit for the design program, if you don't go, who else is more suitable?"

However, Lin Jian doesn't have much love for the so-called drinking culture: "You know, I don't talk much and I can't hold my liquor, so I'm afraid I can't hold up such a big scene."

Probably not expecting him to be so blunt, Fang Jingwei froze for a moment, and then laughed out loud, "It's okay, Qi Gong is a huge amount of money, and there's still me, so what's there to worry about when you have your own people to back you up."

"Besides, it's just a small gathering of a celebratory nature, wishing the project well and working together, it's not as complicated as you think."

As soon as Fang Jingwei said this, the people around him also advised, Lin Jian was quiet for a moment, put down the pencil in his hand for drawing, stood up and said, "Let's go."

The place Mr. Zhang had set was in a private manor on the outskirts of the city. It wasn't very far from this side of the park, and they set off at around five thirty and arrived at less than six o'clock.

Lin Jian and the three of them parked the car and walked through the gate. The entrance was a sprawling green field, with several flower corridors built around it, and a cobblestone path leading to the gate of the four-story villa in the center of the grassy field.

When you enter the door, your eyes are filled with a flamboyant flow of light.

The crystal lamps hanging above the large hall are brightly lit, and the entire hall is elegantly decorated, with dark short pile carpets in luxurious vintage colors, extending to every corner of the room. On one side of the wall hangs a huge landscape oil painting, in which a bunch of colorful Austin butterfly roses, lush and full of color seems to flow out of the frame.

Teng Sheng's Mr. Zhang and the person in charge of the construction party have already arrived, the municipal side is only two short, around the time is still early, and there is no hurry, so the group of people who arrived first were greeted with tea and chatting in the lounge area, as if it was a warm-up for a while for the drinking game.

Tea is the top quality Jinjunmei, tea soup sweet aroma rich, sweet and mellow in the mouth, Lin Jian nature of the cold, really do not like such social occasions, but at this time also by a tea aroma soothed the heart of the vague impatience.

Are the business world in the circle of fame and fortune in the senior veterans, a few opening pleasantries, the atmosphere gradually warmed up, from politics and economy to gossip and entertainment, the scene will never be the lack of talking points and cold scene.

Lin Jian is not actively involved in their small talk, but if someone mentions something about the project's design to him, he will naturally take up the conversation, detached but calm, and without putting the rejection of others on his face.

That's what Shen Ke taught him when he was a kid.

At that time, Lin Jian had just entered junior high school. Shen Ke heard somewhere that it had become a habit for him to be alone at school, and one day when he mentioned it without meaning to, Lin Jian admitted it.

"It's quieter on your own."

Shen Ke didn't deny him this opinion, after all, in his place, all perceptions have a cause and reason, but just smiled gently and reminded him, "It's fine to like to be quiet, and it's fine to keep a distance from people, but it's not desirable to be overly cold."

At the time, his words were like a guideline for Lin Jian, so the youngster followed up with a question, "Where is the tipping point?"

Shen Ke smiled and rubbed the top of his hair and said, "Keep it basic, and when you grow up you'll realize that at some point, moderate distance and decent manners become weapons in your defense."

So Lin Jian was thoughtfully quiet, then nodded and said he remembered.

It's been memorized for so many years.

Waiting for the gap, Mr. Zhang's phone suddenly rang, and after he glanced at the screen, first "aigoo", then reflexively stood up from the sofa, holding the phone quickly walked to the side, looking for a quiet place before answering.

"Assistant Xu, hello there!"

Shen Ke current first assistant on the phone side asked: "Mr. Zhang, your side reported that the official contract of the city park project, the headquarters has received, just now Chairman Shen and a few executive vice president has been signed and approved respectively, the current contract volume filing, your side can be in order to come."

"Okay, okay!" Mr. Zhang was busy thanking, "I have to trouble you to call specially to inform about such a matter, it's really hard hard hard!"

"I should, you are too polite." Assistant Xu's workplace style is first-class, "Besides, Chairman Shen is also more concerned about this project, if there are any problems or troubles in the future, you can contact the headquarters at any time."

"Thank you so much!" Mr. Zhang was overjoyed, "Please tell Reporting Chairman Shen that Teng Sheng is fully committed to doing the best job possible on this project, and when the project is completed, this city park will definitely become Shen's landmark building here!"

"Good." Assistant Xu smiled, "However, Chairman Shen means that the project is, after all, a municipal project, so it is still necessary to be cautious in the process of advancing, whether it is with the government side or with the designers and contractors, to maintain a good cooperative relationship, but there is no need to be too close, especially on the part of the government ...... Do you understand?"

"...... Oh." Mr. Zhang indistinctly quiet for a moment, positively said, "I understand, please Shen Chairman don't worry, I have a measure of ...... just right, tonight Teng Sheng as the capital party banquets other partners, is considered to be a celebration banquet, and so on tonight's drinking once the end of the evening, the future will be on the basis of friendly communication, official business, and Never overstep."

"You feast on ...... collaborators?" For some reason, when he heard this, Assistant Xu, who was always a four-footed man, had a rare hint of hesitation in his voice before telling him, "...... Just a moment."

On this side of the phone, Mr. Zhang heard Assistant Xu seem to hold the phone a little farther away, and then whispered something to the person next to him, but the microphone on the other side was covered, and the other person's voice was so blurred and inauthentic that he couldn't hear it completely.

A few moments later, Assistant Xu asked on the phone, "Mr. Zhang, who are the guests at the banquet tonight?"

Mr. Zhang said that the headquarters of the project is not really concerned about this very much, or else how even such small details have to personally ask about it? But since the above asked, he can only answer truthfully, said a few names, still fearful of asking: "These several are seen in the bidding meeting, but ...... Chairman Shen should not have an impression, right?"

"......" There was silence on the other side of the phone for a few seconds before Assistant Xu whispered a few more words to the person next to him before asking, "Address."

"...... Ah?" Mr. Zhang hit a pig in the head for a moment, confused.

"May I ask where the venue for tonight's banquet has been chosen?" Assistant Xu asked calmly.

"Just, just this Flower Gallery Manor on the outskirts of the city." Mr. Zhang replied truthfully, "The one with a golf course behind the manor."

"Okay." Assistant Xu got the answer and briefly exchanged two more sentences before ending the call.

Mr. Zhang looked at the screen of the cell phone that had gone out, still in a daze, and walked toward the middle hall, walking, only to wonder in hindsight-

Okay? What do you mean, good?

On the other side of the center hall, just as Mr. Zhang received this inexplicable call, the last remaining guest finally arrived.

After a few pleasantries, the crowd clustered and marched toward the dining room where a few cold dishes had already been served.

With all the people seated, this banquet was considered to have officially begun.

It is said that because this person in charge of the city housing construction is a Xiangcheng person, so tonight we eat authentic official Hunan cuisine. Group Um shark fin, chopped pepper fish head, Jishou sour meat, Jiuyi mountain rabbit, Andong chicken ...... a whole table of heavy oil color, fresh and spicy mellow. Spare Lin Jian this kind of can eat spicy northern people, a few dishes clip over, also feel mouth numb.

But such a hot dish is undoubtedly very alcoholic, not to mention the fact that there are no women at the table tonight, so a group of men with a cup of wine is a bit more unrestrained bravado.

Lin Jian does not take the initiative to raise his glass, but if Fang Jingwei is leading the toast, or if someone else toasts the designer, he does not refuse, but graciously picks up his glass of white wine and drinks it together with the others with his neck tilted up.

But by the halfway point, Lin Jian had intentionally stopped following the toast.

The first half of the table was not yet fully warmed up, each of the guests still had a wine dispenser at hand, and went through the routine of claiming their own glass of wine.

And by the time two hours had passed and the second half arrived, the situation was so hot that the original eight-coin glasses had been replaced by three or two, and the style of the table was running completely unchecked in that direction.

When the men got drunk, they would find a reason to make a toast, such as "Designer Lin is really young and talented, come on, let me toast to you!"

Or "Mr. Fang is from Hong Kong, right? Come on, let's go with our compatriots from Hong Kong and Macau!"

Then later, simply do not even look for a lame pretext, directly "Hey this dish is flavorful enough ah, come on let's drink a together!"

"I just love this groupan shark's fin, it's so fresh! Let's toast to the chef's skill!"

......

Lin Jian has been slightly drunk, but he belongs to the kind of drink does not hang face, at this time the eyebrows and eyes of the face is still clear and cold, drink more or less, only he knows.

Lin Jian slowly leaned back in his chair, holding his arms and watching the table push the cups and you and I make a fuss, his head is a little dizzy, so the words are even less.

And at that moment, after a few more rounds of drinking, the men finally spotted him, the leaky fish, and all of a sudden the picture changed, and several of them wandered over toward him with their glasses in hand.

"Little brother!" The person in charge of the construction party is a man of about forty, with a dark face and a strong body, and it seems that he can drink, and at this moment, he even sat on his butt next to Lin Jian with his tongue in his mouth, and held up a full glass of 52-degree wine, and said vaguely to Lin Jian, "Honestly! The first time I saw your design program, I fucking slapped my thighs - excellent, really an excellent! This talent aura of yours ...... is awesome! Come on, brother toasts you! Let's work together happily in the future!"

Such words, such a scene, Lin Jian can not be refused, so he pulled over the hand side of the wine glass, and he gently touched, light voice back: "Mr. Li polite, happy cooperation." After saying that, he took a sip of the wine in the cup.

"Hey! You can't do this!" Mr. Li saw that he only drank a sip and was not happy, "How come Brother Li drank half a cup and you just sip it? You don't see me, do you?"

"No." The pungent liquor flows down his throat, Lin Jian slightly inclines his head to exhale a mouthful of piping hot liquor, "It is true that I can't hold my liquor, I can only show my sincerity slightly, don't be offended."

"No no no! Do not take you so drink ah ......" Mr. Li see not to see the blame aside, the housing construction department of the Wang Department to talk to help, "that how to say - feelings of thick drink is not enough, feelings of iron, drink, Drink blood! You look at this and Mr. Li's feelings are not in place, this is not to give face ah!"

Wine on the upswing, the consciousness of the sudden sinking, Lin Jian brow a few imperceptible knit, long fingers rubbing the transparent wine glass, but still did not end up, is still the tone of voice said lightly: "The Wang Department joke, is indeed to drink to the amount of drink, and then drink I am afraid that I have to make a fool of myself, so that all of you see the ridicule of it."

"That can't! See, see laugh impossible!" Wang saw his posture Zhou Zheng face is not worried, subconsciously think he is just looking for an excuse to resign, eyes with a few points of unforgiving posture, "is not a little old brother think Mr. Li face is not big enough? Then so - I and Mr. Li together, toasting you a cup, this face to enough right? Come on, our buddy must have a toast today!"

Lin Jian's eyes were slightly cold, but at this time sitting on the other side of his Fang Jingwei, even pushed the glass of wine to Lin Jian's hands, smiling and interjected: "Everyone is right, this glass of wine, we Xiao Lin must drink, but you two together to honor him is not appropriate, so I and Xiao Lin and Qi Gong together as the designers to toast you a cup how - we work together happily for a long time to come. Lin and Qi Gong together, as the designers to honor you two a cup how about - let's have a good cooperation, the future will be long."

As the words fell, Lin Jian slightly inclined his head to look at him, and the emotions under his eyes were so light that the temperature was completely gone.

Fang Jingwei, however, smiled at the corners of his mouth and met his eyes without avoiding them, gently urging, "Lin Jian?"

Lin Jian watched him be quiet for two seconds, and then slightly lowered his eyelashes, the corner of his mouth slightly raised, drawing a slightly sneering arc, and then picked up the cup of unfinished wine, propped up the tabletop with one hand, slowly got up, and lifted the cup, saying, "In that case, I respectfully submit to your orders - but this is the last cup, after this cup is finished, everyone forgive me for taking my leave first."

After saying that, he raised his hand and poured down the wine in his glass.

The youth's posture is lean and straight, tilting his head back to drink, neck and shoulder back out of a taut and sharp lines, slightly closed eyelashes with the movement of swallowing wine slightly shaking, side profile in the lamplight appears to be detached but elegant, like a finely crafted brushstroke painting.

Abundant god like jade, Lang Lang Cui Zhu, he is like a man in a painting.

Fang Jingwei's eyes darkened with emotion.

Scorching heat all of a sudden from the mouth of the heart up, burning through the throat, surging to the limbs and bones, Lin Jian put down the wine glass, one hand is still propped up on the desktop, clear eyes swept over the several people in front of him, the corners of his mouth even with a trace of a smile if there is no trace of a smile, and asked: "Everyone, can it?"

"Ah ...... can can! Enough fun ah little old brother!" Whether it was Division Wang or General Manager Li at this time as if waking up from a dream, he nodded his head repeatedly, praising him for his fearfulness in the future.

After this side of the clamor is over, a few people turn the table to toast the next person, Lin Jian braced himself on the tabletop, slightly hanging his head, secretly exhaling a mouthful of hot wine.

The next moment, his cold wrist was held by the person next to him, Lin Jian all nerve reflexes, abruptly withdrew his hand, cold eyes to the one next to him.

The delicate, slightly cool touch seemed to be on his fingertips, and Fang Jingwei twisted his fingers thoughtfully before smiling at him with a soothing expression and asking, "Drunk?"

Lin Jian narrowed his eyes slightly, sizing him up with an undisguised gaze for a moment, sneered, and returned, "Not yet, but I do have to go first. You and Qi Gong make yourselves at home." After saying that, he was about to lift his feet to leave the table.

Unexpectedly, Fang Jingwei raised his arm and blocked him at his side: "The theater is not yet over, it's not appropriate for you to leave now."

Lin Jian pressed down the cluster of fire that was getting hotter and hotter in the bottom of his heart and said in a cold voice, "Then I'll be considered rude."

"Lin Jian." Fang Jingwei still had that same nonchalant look and leisurely tone, "Wait a little longer, accompany me to play a round, and I'll send you back then."

"......" Lin Jian felt that the cultivation and manners he had cultivated from Shen Ke for so many years were about to be destroyed.

"Get out of the way." His eyes went completely cold.

Who knows, Fang Jingwei surprisingly stood up, quite a few confrontation like all blocked in front of him, after a few seconds, suddenly smiled and asked, "What, I send you ...... can not?"

Even Lin Jian, who had been drinking so much and was no longer slow to give emotional feedback to outsiders, heard a hint of something else in the unusual tone of voice.

It's ...... ridiculous.

"Send me back?" He narrowed his eyes slightly, his complexion cold with a sneer, "Just you?"

"Just me." Fang Jingwei took a step up and reached out towards him again, and just a second before his fingertips would touch Lin Jian's wrist, the heavy, ancient carved wooden door of the restaurant suddenly pushed open from the outside to both sides.

The drunken clamor in the room was suddenly silent, and the crowd sniffed and looked, and then drew a breath of cold air in unison.

Shen Ke stood in the center of the open doorway, and his eyes proudly looked over all the people, and finally penetrated through the space and landed on Lin Jian.

Lin Jian blinked his eyes slowly, looking at the person whose face was as heavy as water walking towards him at that moment, thinking that he was hallucinating from being drunk.

"Shen ...... Chairman Shen?!" Teng Sheng's Mr. Zhang was the first to react, stumbling to Shen Ke's side, unable to speak properly under the fear, "Why are you ...... here?!"

All the people present froze for two seconds, only to see a hula, all stood up from their chairs - joking, Shen Ke standing, no one dares to sit.

"To pick up someone." Shen Ke replied casually, but did not look at anyone and walked straight to Lin Jian.

Lin Jian raised his head slightly and looked at him for an instant, opening his mouth but failing to make a sound.

At this moment, his hazy drunkenness is all written in those bright and fixed eyes, but when he stands in front of Shen Ke, he is extremely well-behaved.

As it was back then.

Shen Ke ignored the stunned looks of the people around him, slightly lowering his eyes to look at the youth with sparkling eyes in front of him, and after a couple of seconds, asked softly, "Drunk?"

Lin Jian, bewildered, shook his head, then slowed his movements, frowned again, and nodded.

It looked like a not-so-happy look.

Shen Ke silently sighed, unbuttoned his black trench coat, took it off and draped it over Lin Jian with his backhand, "Then go home."

Go home.

Lin Jian's shoulders shook noiselessly, and obediently, without a hint of resistance, he pulled his wrists up.

At that moment, Fang Jingwei, who was always out of his element, suddenly spoke out, "Chairman Shen."

Shen Ke's footsteps slightly paused, didn't turn back, just slightly sideways: "Mr. Fang still has something to say?"

"Chairman Shen, this isn't appropriate, is it?"

In a short moment, even if Fang Jingwei still can not see what kind of relationship between the two, but based on guessing must be a very shallow origin, but just let people take Lin Jian away ...... he is a little inexplicable unwillingness.
