Chapter 150: Won’t you invite me in to sit down?
The boy looked at the two hundred-dollar bills in the woman's hand and swallowed. Just as he mustered up the courage to reach out and pull it, Gu Jingman raised his hand and flashed past, "If you want to take the money, take me over to find someone first."
Gu Jingman originally thought that this young boy would easily take the money and lead the way, but the young man pursed his lips, squinted his eyes and looked like he was going to cry again. Gu Jingman raised his hand and directly handed over the two hundred A block was slapped on the young man's forehead, "Stop the ink marks! Quick!"
On a dark and windy night, the young man hunched his neck, folded his arms tightly, and carefully led the way.
He would look back from time to time, fearing that the "grandfather" following behind him would kick him again.
The young man couldn't understand why a lovely woman who looked soft, white and tender could defeat several people invisibly with just a single turn.
It is said that great blessings are always accompanied by great disasters, so he knew that there was no such thing as a good thing in the world.
The young man looked at the deserted street and felt a chill on the back of his neck.
"Who was sitting here just now? That big boss can't be 'picked up'!"
"What are you mumbling under your breath? If you dare to lie to me, my sister's fists will not be forgiving!"
Looking at the woman behind him, the young man wanted to cry without tears.
He finally understood what it meant to say the harshest words in the gentlest tone.
"'Grandpa'! 'Ancestor'! This is my life. Even if I dare to lie to anyone, I dare not lie to you!"
Suddenly, the boy's eyes suddenly widened, he pointed at the wall in front of the convenience store and shouted, "Over there! The big black guy is over there!"
Different from the expected drunken look, Xu Shujie leaned against the wall at the entrance of the convenience store with his arms folded. Although his eyes were closed, his back was still straight.
Gu Jingman finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Brother Shujie! Xu Shujie? Wake up! You can't sleep here!"
Seeing Xu Shujie not moving, she was about to step forward when she met a pair of hungry eyes.
The man's smooth profile profile was split into two by the light from the convenience store. One half was hidden in the dim light and shadow, while the other half's eyes gradually focused upon seeing her.
"Gu Jingman?"
Xu Shujie's voice was very soft, with a hint of disbelief.
"Oops! Brother Shujie! You finally woke up! Why were you walking so fast in the bar just now? By the way, did you do it yourself?"
Gu Jingman's curly hair stuck to her forehead, her eyes full of concern.
"Yes, myself."
Xu Shujie took a deep breath and stood up with all his strength. He was about to say that he was fine, but his vision suddenly went dark, and he fell forward uncontrollably. When he came back to his senses, Gu Jingman was squatting in front of him, with an unbearable look on his face. Looking at him.
"Brother Shujie, your head."
He subconsciously raised his hand and wiped it, and there was something sticky between his tentacles.
Xu Shujie rubbed his forehead vigorously. After coming out of Evergreen City, he originally wanted to go back to his dormitory. When the taxi passed through the bar street, he asked the driver to stop the car.
Looking at the noisy crowd, he was inexplicably pulled into the bar.
After a few glasses of unsatisfactory drinks, he relaxed completely.
Going south with his mother that year really changed his life.
But from the beginning of longing to the final despair, it only took a blink of an eye.
At the same time, he was forced to start carrying this terrible lie.
No.
It may not be a forced burden, but an initiative.
From the small town that becomes quiet when night falls, to the night sky illuminated by colorful lights when the city's neon lights come on.
In the past, he had walked along the winding and rugged path to the edge of the town countless times, imagining that it was connected to the bustling metropolis. But now he stood among the layers of high-rise buildings and could see everything as far as he could see. novel.
He seemed to hear that the seeds of unrealizable dreams that had been buried deep in his heart all took root and sprouted at that moment. Countless opportunities and challenges beckoned to him under the neon lights, sending out invitations.
As early as that time, all his justice was swallowed up by desire.
Maybe my mother was right.
He was her son after all.
Maybe she knows herself better than he does.
"Brother Shujie! What are you thinking about? If you can't, you should call your sister-in-law!"
Gu Jingman took out her phone as she spoke, but Xu Shujie shook his head dully.
Call Xiao Yu over and Lin Mochen will definitely follow. Lin Mochen is so smart and seeing him like this, he will definitely not be able to hide anything.
"No, Xiaoyu and your brother are busy with work, and I don't want to cause them any trouble."
Recalling the tone of Lin Mochen's phone call last time, Gu Jingman nodded, "Yes! If you disturb the newlyweds, you will be disliked! Then you can only trouble me to take you home! Where do you live?"

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Xu Shujie raised his hand and looked at the time. It was already midnight.
"I haven't asked you why you are here? Are you alone in the middle of the night?"
"We have been shooting continuously for a week in H City. Today, the project shooting ended successfully. Director Feng asked all our staff to relax together. I didn't expect that I would be able to save you."
Seeing Xu Shujie's confused look, Gu Jingman took out his driver's license wallet and the re-smoothed envelope.
"Brother Shujie, it doesn't matter if you are drunk. Don't throw things around! I gave you your driver's license, wallet and bonus. What would you do if it weren't for me!"
The woman's fair skin showed a faint blush, her slender eyebrows were curved, her eyes were narrowed into a slit with a smile, and she was holding his ID in her hand.
Before he could speak, Gu Jingman clapped all the documents into his arms, then lifted his arm, "I've seen your information. You seem to live in a dormitory. Which way do you come from?"
< br>
Xu Shujie silently looked at the girl beside him without speaking, as if he acquiesced to her behavior.
……
Speaking of which, this was the second time in Gu Jingman's life that she had seen a man's boudoir.
Compared with Lin Mochen's cold and rigid house, Xu Shujie's room is more like a small world full of historical atmosphere and academic atmosphere.
The walls were painted a soft beige and hung with several photos of archaeological excavation sites, as well as some maps and diagrams.
A corner of the room was set up as a workspace. A sturdy wooden table was piled with books and documents. The laptop screen was turned on but in sleep mode. There were also some maps and site plans spread out on the desk, which were covered with markers. and notes.
On the floor-to-ceiling bookshelf next to the desk, in addition to professional books, there are also some small pottery, wood carvings, and ceramics on display. Next to it is an oversized suitcase with a dark backpack on top, which is the one I carried last time I recorded the show.
There are several pots of cacti scattered on the windowsill. They seem to be still alive but have not been watered for a long time.
Along the window sill is a single bed, with the words "City H Archaeological Brigade" printed on the blue plaid sheets. There are a few books, hand cream and a photo on the bedside table. The photo shows Xu Shujie and Xu Jiayu. They are smiling greenly. The style of their clothes is from many years ago...
Gu Jingman stood in front of the door and looked at this small apartment with a view to the end, "Brother Shujie, won't you invite me in to sit down?"
