Chapter Eighty-Seven: Encountering an Old Man by Occasion
It was lunch break, and the villa was quiet. From time to time, new people moved in and there was a sound of footsteps, and it soon became quiet again.
Huang Xiaoxi lay on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
Paris, the ideal romantic city, she might be able to go out and have a look...
As soon as such an idea came to her mind, she couldn't put it away. She got up, put on a woolen coat and a hat on her head, but she still didn't take off the mask on her face.
Opening the door, he hesitated for a moment, then came to Fujiwara's door and knocked.
"Please come in..." Fujiwara's voice came, Huang Xiaoxi opened the door, first bowed politely to the inside, and then said, "Fujiwara-kun, I want to go downstairs for a walk. If you need anything, you can call me."
"You want to go out?" Fujiwara was doing something on the computer. When he heard her words, he immediately stood up and looked at her with a frown.
"Just taking a walk downstairs..." Huang Xiaoxi replied with a smile, without any aversion in her eyes.
"Then, be careful." Fujiwara also knew that he shouldn't worry too much, so he nodded and agreed.
"Okay, thank you..." Huang Xiaoxi closed the door, her bright eyes flashing with light.
I quickly walked downstairs with my head lowered, and walked around the yard pretentiously twice. I was leisurely and at ease, and there was nothing strange at all.
After about 20 minutes, when she was sure that Fujiwara would not come down to monitor her, she saw a group of people going out, so she mixed in with them, walked out of the villa quietly, and walked forward for a while before stopping.
There are beautiful Baroque buildings everywhere on the streets of Paris, which are very retro and look very warm. Huang Xiaoxi walked aimlessly on the streets, her face looking relaxed and happy as never before.
It’s been a long time since I walked outside so freely. It feels so good. No one is watching or restricting...
But why does it feel like everyone is looking at her strangely?
Huang Xiaoxi was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the glass of the shop next to her. Her fair face with a mask was reflected on it. It was mysterious and had a bit of an eerie feeling. No wonder she was being treated as a show. It turned out that
It's this mask.
Huang Xiaoxi's eyes flashed, and she turned around and walked into a nearby public toilet.
When she came out, the mask on her face had been taken off, revealing her clean and somewhat pale face. The expensive coat on her body was also gone, replaced by a very ordinary leather coat, somewhat large.
, it doesn’t fit well on my body.
As for her coat…
Turning around, I saw a plump middle-aged lady in front of the bathroom mirror, looking left and right, with an expression of great joy on her face, as if she had found a treasure.
Huang Xiaoxi raised the corners of her mouth, and her long, smooth curly hair was held up with a rubber band, crisp and neat.
Strolling carefree alone on the street, facing the sunshine, her smile was so dazzling, yet there was no gloominess and indifference from when she was in the villa...
She was walking aimlessly, not knowing where she was ahead or where she was going. It was like a brave adventure, but her mood was as relaxed and comfortable as she had ever been.
Unexpectedly, she walked into a women's street. Huang Xiaoxi looked at the dazzling array of shops and realized that she hadn't bought clothes for a long time. When she was in Japan, even if she could go shopping for clothes, she would be followed by others, and she could just buy a few pieces.
She was in no mood. But today was different. She didn't have to worry about it at all. She frowned and looked at the rough leather coat on her body, then walked into the women's street with a smile.
"Miss, you have a really good figure. This black coat suits you very well..." In a well-decorated shop, the waitress looked at her with a sweet smile and introduced her.
Black? No, she is tired of it. She is not the kind of cool woman and doesn't like to wear dark-colored clothes. But since she stepped on the catwalk, for the so-called mystery, there are very few bright-colored clothes around her.
Clothes.
"Are there other colors?" Huang Xiaoxi asked with a smile.
"This is only available in black. The clothes in our store are all specially made, and each set is unique..." the waitress introduced enthusiastically, talking non-stop.
"Thank you, bring me that one..." Huang Xiaoxi smiled politely and pointed to the pink coat next door.
"Ah..." The waiter was stunned for a moment, and then took the coat for her with a smile on his face.
Huang Xiaoxi put on her coat and showed a bright smile in the mirror.
This is her, Huang Xiaoxi...
"That's it, where can I pay the bill?" Huang Xiaoxi nodded, smiled and came to the front desk to prepare to pay the bill.
Suddenly a familiar voice came from behind, "This dress is mine..."
"Huh?" Huang Xiaoxi turned around in surprise and looked behind her in surprise. She didn't remember having any acquaintances in Paris. Who would meet her by chance and pay her bills?
As soon as she turned around, Huang Xiaoxi immediately came face to face with a familiar face. He had a hearty smile on his face. When he smiled, he had two shallow dimples on his face, and his fine hair hung softly in front of his forehead.
Wearing a slim-fitting long coat, he looked tall and outstanding.
Just like the first time I saw him, he was so dazzling that it was hard to keep your eyes open.
"Xiao Xi, I haven't seen you for a long time. I didn't expect to meet you here..." He slowly moved forward and came to her, his sunny smile was very dazzling.
"Pan Jie...it's been so long..." Huang Xiaoxi also smiled, took a step forward, and looked up at Pan Jie, who was a head taller than the lady in front of her.
"Is this considered a kind of fate? We can meet in a place like this." Pan Jie shrugged and spoke cheerfully.
"Haha, of course." Huang Xiaoxi squinted her eyes and looked behind Pan Jie. She found no one else and asked in surprise, "Are you alone?"
"What? It's weird?"
"No, haha, are you here to buy clothes for your girlfriend?"
"Don't you know? I opened this store..." Pan Jie looked at Huang Xiaoxi in amusement and reached out to touch her head.
At that moment, Huang Xiaoxi suddenly had the illusion that they seemed to have returned to the past, that happy day...
"I didn't expect Mr. Pan to have such a beautiful friend..." The waitress behind them looked at them with an ambiguous smile.
"Xiaoju, Xiaoxi was my previous girlfriend..." Pan Jie pulled Huang Xiaoxi to his side with some air and winked at the waitress.
"Huh? Really?" The waiter looked at them with envy, "What a perfect match..."
"Ahem... Xiaoxi, let's go sit down if you have time. We haven't seen each other for so long and I want to catch up with you." Pan Jie's expression changed and he changed the topic.
"Well..." Huang Xiaoxi looked at the time. It was still early. She shouldn't be in a hurry to go back, so she nodded, "Okay."
"Let's go, I know there is a good cafe nearby..." Pan Jie took Huang Xiaoxi and walked outside.
Huang Xiaoxi frowned, looked at the clothes she was wearing, and smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Pan, for the clothes..."
"Why are you being polite to me..." Pan Jie looked at her funny, filled with emotion in his heart.
After not seeing each other for half a year, he has matured a lot, and she is no longer the carefree girl she used to be. Although she is smiling, she is no longer as cheerful as before. In this way, she has lost her former self.
A portion of spiritual energy is exchanged for an extraordinary temperament.
At this moment, he regretted what he had said. She used to be such a cute and carefree girl. But now she has become a completely different person. No matter how noble and elegant her temperament is, she no longer has the same personality as before.
That feeling.
He promised that if time could happen again, he would never despise her past.
The coffee shop was filled with the strong aroma of coffee and was warm. Accompanied by the elegant music, they also chatted about each other's experiences.
"I suddenly heard that you dropped out of school half a year ago. I thought it was a lie." Pan Jie crossed his hands on the table and said with an afterthought, "Sure enough, after marrying into a rich family, people are different."
Marrying into a wealthy family? Huang Xiaoxi was stunned, showed a wry smile, and said lightly, "Ha... Actually, I still miss the carefree days."
"Yes, I once had very precious things, but I didn't know how to cherish them." Pan Jie sighed softly and looked at Huang Xiaoxi with soft eyes.
"What about you? Why did you come to Paris to open a store?" Huang Xiaoxi asked with a smile, not wanting to continue the topic.
"Well... my family happened to open a new store in Paris, and I wanted to go out and exercise first, so I came to Paris." Pan Jie replied calmly, "School is about to start, and I still have to go back to class after school starts."
"So that's it, it's pretty good."
"What about you? I haven't heard from you in the past six months. Zhong Qing and the others often say that you disappeared overnight. I didn't expect you to be in Paris. Didn't Mr. Yin accompany you?" Pan Jie asked strangely.
Her? Huang Xiaoxi recalled her experiences in the past six months, with a flash of resentment and pain in her eyes. She lowered her head, closed her eyes in pain, and shook her head with a smile after a long time, "He didn't have time, so he went out for a walk alone.
"
She didn't know why she lied, but when she heard Pan Jie's words, she couldn't help but follow them.
This was something she didn't expect. Yin Chenhao actually never announced what happened between them to the outside world. Don't the outside world, including her parents, know about her? Why would he do this...
"That's right, that's right. He's so busy with work, he probably doesn't have much time to go shopping with you, right?" Pan Jie nodded with emotion, and then whispered softly, "It is said that he came to Paris this time to sponsor a model competition..."
It's just that Huang Xiaoxi was still stuck in her own thoughts and didn't hear Pan Jie's words at all.
The two chatted intermittently for a while, and the sky slowly darkened. The ringtone of Huang Xiaoxi's cell phone rang, interrupting their conversation.
"Sorry." Huang Xiaoxi stood up, picked up the phone and put it aside before answering, "Fujiwara-kun..."
"Amy, where are you? The party is about to start. It's time to come back and put on your makeup." Fujiwara's somewhat dissatisfied voice came from over there.
"Ah, I lose track of time when I'm walking around here. I'll go back right away." Huang Xiaoxi lowered her eyes and nodded.
"What's wrong?" Pan Jie returned to his seat and asked with a smile, "Is there someone at home?"
"Haha, I'm sorry, I might have to go back first." Huang Xiaoxi picked up her handbag and looked at Pan Jie sheepishly.
"Where do you live? Let me see you off." Pan Jie also stood up and said in a gentlemanly manner.
