Chapter 80: There was something wrong with the special New Year's Eve atmosphere. Zhuo Ling discovered after returning with the food.
Nan Xi gave him a secret wink, "Zhuo Ling, come and sit... Wow, it looks delicious, so I'm welcome, Haihai, your seafood smorgasbord."
Haihai adjusted her mood. Since everyone was accompanying her to play, she should be happy. At least, she still had her dear family and lovely friends. Although she was full, she still said boldly:
"Okay, let's get started, I want to finish the seafood feast!"
Zhuo Ling did not ignore Wang Yarui opposite him. He was as deep as an ice cube and it was difficult to ignore him. "You three...are you college classmates?" he asked tentatively during the dinner.
Wang Yarui raised his eyes and glanced at Zhuo Ling.
With just one glance, Zhuo Ling was more sure of Wang Yarui's hostility towards him. That unkind look seemed to tear him to pieces. Zhuo Ling deeply felt the danger, Nan Xi's danger.
This boy should like Nan Xi very much.
Ning Hai introduced while eating on the beach: "Nan Xi and I should have known each other since childhood. We have been high school classmates for three years. Ya Rui is Nan Xi's neighbor. By coincidence, we are also schoolmates, and we got to know each other after hanging around.
"
Nan Xi: "Well, the two of them are my best friends, an iron triangle relationship." As for Wang Yarui, she has always regarded him as a friend, a very pure friendship.
Zhuo Ling: "It's rare. It's really rare to be able to make a few close friends now." I hope Wang Yarui can think clearly as soon as possible. He will definitely not let him snatch Nan Xi away. Even if he doesn't guard against it, he will
He can't take it away, because Nan Xi's heart is not with him at all. "Since you are Nan Xi's friend, you are also my friend. If you need my help, I will do my best to help you. Don't follow me."
You're welcome." He expressed his good intentions to Wang Yarui. Many things cannot be solved by cruelty alone.
Haihai was nibbling prawns, "This relationship is good. President Zhuo Da, I'm not polite. Can you introduce a job to me and Ya Rui? Of course it's a good job." With this kind of backing, it would be too much to use without it.
What a pity.
Zhuo Ling patted his chest and assured, "No problem." It was just a job introduction, a trivial matter, "What do you want to do?"
Haihai stood up, put her hands on her waist, and assumed a standard magazine cover pose. She raised her chin slightly, stabilized her movements, and said, "Can't you see that I'm a very good model?"
"
This is really hard to tell. Although Ning Haihai is taller than the average girl, she is not 170. She is really a bit short for a model. Zhuo Ling held his throat and said nothing.
Haihai smiled again, "Hey, hey, graphic model." She was quite self-aware, "Don't you think that if I wear jewelry designed by Nan Xi, I can shine like a big star?
?Celebrities rely on packaging!"
Nan Xi muttered without confidence, "Aiyou, the thing I designed isn't finished yet, so you're recommending yourself too soon."
"Not happy," Zhuo Ling's eyes lit up at Ning Haihai's proposal, "Haihai is right, the design competition requires models. You can choose who will wear your work, you can also choose Haihai."
"real?"
"Really?" Nan Xi and Haihai asked in unison. They didn't expect that what they just said casually could actually be true.
Zhuo Ling smiled and said, "I never talk big, especially to women. But it was just an event. If you want to be a professional graphic model, I can recommend you to a modeling agency."
"Okay, then I have to offer you a toast first." As he said that, Haihai generously filled up the red wine, clinked the glasses together, and drank them all in one gulp. "My matter is finalized for now, and Ya Rui's too."
Wang Yarui had a dark face and said calmly, "I don't need it. I'm very satisfied with my current situation, so I don't need to worry about it anymore."
Zhuo Ling smiled and nodded, not showing his expression easily, which was what he was best at.
The dinner was not a very pleasant one, and ended with Wang Yarui leaving early. Everyone could see his displeasure, but no one pointed it out.
Just like no one would point out Ning Haihai who was smiling heartlessly, he was just covering up his inner pain with a smile.
Late at night, Sanya Bay is quiet and peaceful, and even the sound of the waves becomes so gentle, as if playing a lullaby.
Today is New Year's Eve. In previous years, New Year's Eve was spent with the cold winter. If you were lucky, you could play in the white snowdrifts. Of course, this is a very distant thing. Nan Xi only remembers that one time when he was a child.
Every year, there is very little snow.
There was another round of joy, which finally stopped when Nan Xi begged for mercy.
After eating the marrow and knowing the taste, Zhuo Ling really lost control and wanted to have her all the time.
In the huge room, only one floor lamp was turned on. The warm yellow light was not bright, but it felt very warm. It stayed on like this all night.
Outside, the sky in the east lit up a fish-belly white, and the sun was about to come out. The entire sky was pure blue, and there was a line between sea and sky. It was hard to tell where was the sea and where was the sky.
In a short time, the sun will be high in the sky, and the sunshine on the first day of the new year will be brilliant.
Zhuo Ling felt dazzled and slowly opened his eyes. The sunshine outside was so beautiful, with blue sky and white clouds, and sea and beach. This trip was really a rare enjoyment. He turned around and looked at the lovely person pillowing on his arm. She was still there.
She was sleeping deeply and looked tired. She was really exhausted last night.
He stretched out his hand, blocked the sunlight from her eyes with his palm, and let her sleep well. It was good to look at her like this.
Nan Xi unconsciously sucked her little mouth, which was as cute as a baby. Zhuo Ling felt particularly calm. It has been eighteen years since the disaster struck when he was eight years old. His heart has not been as peaceful as it is now.
Pass.
The sudden ringing of the cell phone broke the tranquility of the moment. Zhuo Ling frowned slightly, not wanting to wake up his baby. He quickly picked up the phone and lowered his voice and said, "Dad, what's the matter?"
The call came from Zhuo Wannian on the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year.
"You didn't come back yesterday. The house was very deserted. Now even the dining table is not full. Ling, go home for dinner today. Today is the first day of junior high school..."
My father is really old, otherwise he would not have such a tone. Zhuo Ling said apologetically: "Dad, I am in Sanya, and I didn't return to Shanghai until the third year of junior high school."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time. "So, are you going home on the third day of junior high school?" Zhuo Wannian said tentatively, "If you can, bring that girl back and let me take a look."
Even if he doesn't say anything about him, the media and magazines can find out about it, not to mention things like dating that can be mixed with countless associations and gossip. Zhuo Ling lowered his head and looked at Nan Xi's face, "Okay,
But at Auntie's place..." He didn't want Nan Xi to see the most humble side of him in the Zhuo family when Nan Xi went there. Cai Nianlan would definitely not treat him and Nan Xi kindly.
"I will take care of her side, as long as you come back." Zhuo Wannian promised.
"That's...ok." After all, he is his father, and he is old, so he can't bear to disappoint the old man.
