Deer in the forest

Chapter 20 Cold War

There are two days left until the weekend reception.

Li Jibai and Lin Shen fell into a cold war.

The specific manifestation is that the two go to the company separately in the morning and come back separately in the evening, and they will eat breakfast and dinner at different times.When the two ran into each other at home, Li Jibai remained silent with a gloomy face, and Lin Shen just called sir indifferently.

Lin Shen refused to bow his head this time, and Li Jibai would not express it.

The atmosphere at home has also become the same as that of the company. Everyone dare not show their atmosphere, and they wish they could put a sound-absorbing pad on their feet when walking.

The only one who was happy was Jiang Ning. He didn't know what happened to him these two days, he was very proud, the whole person was sunny, and even if he had limited mobility, he walked around the villa with high spirits.

Lin Shen was not in a good mood. The unwarranted framing he encountered was actually not difficult to see through, as long as he checked Lin Shen's itinerary and call records in reverse, there were no flaws.But the strange thing is that Li Jibai doesn't seem to want to find out.

On Saturday, Li Jibai spent the whole day playing golf with clients, and Jiang Ning also went out to relax, and the two never came back.

It was rare for Lin Shen to rest. At lunch time, he went downstairs to help Aunt Su. He saw a small pot of freshly picked strawberries in the kitchen. He cut the strawberries into cubes, mixed them with condensed milk, and found a few slices of strawberries from the refrigerator. Division, flattened with a rolling pin, wrapped in strawberries.

Aunt Su saw that he was doing seriously, so she asked him what he was going to do.

"Strawberry pie." Lin Shen kept moving his hands, and gave Aunt Su Amway, "It's a very simple recipe. When I was in country M, I used to make it for brother... Mister."

Aunt Su took a strawberry and stuffed it into Lin Shen's mouth, jokingly said, "Do you know what to ask for peace?" He is stubborn when he comes here, let alone Li Jibai, since he was a child, he has never been subdued by anyone.

Lin Shen nodded. He was very close to Aunt Su, so he didn't need to pretend: "I've thought about it for two days, regardless of whether the matter itself is right or wrong, I have a problem with my attitude. I shouldn't be awkward with my husband... I have no right to be awkward."

Strawberry pie takes shape in no time, buttered, popped in the oven, and ready to eat in no time.If Li Jibai came back for dinner, he would be in time for the fresh strawberry pie to be baked.

Hope he doesn't get mad after eating strawberry pie.

Just as he was thinking, Lin Shen's phone rang.It was Fang Yuan who called, saying that he was going to a reception tonight and asked Lin Shen to get ready, and the driver would pick him up in a while.

"What about sir?" Lin Shen asked.

"Sir, go directly from the stadium." Fang Yuan said in a hurry and hung up the phone.

So Lin Shen went upstairs to take a shower and change clothes, and went out in time.

The reception was held in a century-old winery. After Lin Shen entered the door, he realized that the theme of the night was to welcome Andre, the president of the International Ocean Association, the key figure related to the restart of the Star World project.

He never liked this kind of entertainment, besides, the host of today's reception was Wei's, not Hongbai, so he was happy to relax, looking for Li Jibai while having a drink in a corner.

In the middle of the reception, he still didn't see Li Jibai, but Wei Qidong stood out in the crowd.Lin Shen looked at that tall man with cold eyes. He seemed to be very complacent today, talking warmly to the blond Andre.

As if feeling something, Wei Qidong, who was talking eloquently, suddenly turned his head and looked at the corner where Lin Shen was.That gaze only paused for a moment, but it gave Lin Shen a kind of horrified horror, and the inexplicable panic of being stared at by something surged in his heart.

Lin took a deep breath, put down his cup, turned and walked out, Wei Qidong's state tonight gave him an instinctive sense of crisis, he might as well go outside to get some air.

He walked to an outdoor terrace, and was about to ask a passing waiter for a glass of sparkling water, when he suddenly heard an exclamation not far away, and then vaguely heard a woman calling for help.

Lin Shen immediately stepped over the balcony guardrail, rushed down the steps in two quick steps, and ran to the place where the accident happened.

There is an artificial lake in the garden of the winery, because it is far away from the banquet hall, not many people come here.A few girls who came to the banquet might feel that the banquet was boring, so they chatted by the lake. Unexpectedly, one of the girls slipped and fell into the water while taking a selfie.

The girl couldn't swim, and she couldn't see her head after falling into the water after a few ups and downs.The companions are all Jiao Didi's young ladies, who don't know how to save others, and can only call for help when they are frightened.Unfortunately, there are few guests here, not even a waiter, everyone is having a good time in the banquet hall, and for a while, no one finds out that something happened here.

When Lin Shen ran to the lake, he had already taken off his suit. When the girls saw someone coming, they yelled excitedly. Lin Shen jumped into the lake without hesitation to catch the girl who had sunk .

The waiter who came over immediately called the front desk and asked to send someone over as soon as possible.

Linshen has good water properties, but the lake water is no better than a swimming pool, not to mention the stones and silt underneath, and the vision is also cloudy.He touched for a long time before he touched the girl's arm, hugged her from behind and floated up.

The people on the shore quickly pulled the girl up, and Lin Shen also jumped ashore.A few more people ran over from a distance, and a man wearing glasses said, "I am a doctor," pushed aside the people around him, and knelt on the ground to give first aid to the girl.With artificial respiration and extracardiac resuscitation, the girl choked out a big mouthful of water before regaining consciousness and finally woke up.

Then the person in charge of the winery and the girl's parents sent her to the hospital. The girl's parents only had time to thank Lin Shen and the doctor before leaving in a hurry.

After a period of chaos, the lake was quiet again.

This accident was just a small episode at the banquet, after all, everyone was fine.After that, everyone will still drink wine, dance as usual, and discuss business as usual.

Except for Lin Shen and the doctor who rescued them just now.

Right now, the two are in a mess.Lin Shen's whole body was wet, and the white shirt was stuck to his body. When the wind blew, he couldn't help but sneezed.The doctor's trousers were frayed and his suit was in a mess. He didn't look much better than Lin Shen.

The waiter took them to the lounge in the wing, and went to find them a change of clothes.It was just the two of them in the house.

The doctor stretched out his hand: "Hi, my name is Yancheng."

"Hello, Lin Shen."

Yancheng is gentle and handsome, gentle and polite, and a simple chat can make people feel like a spring breeze.Yancheng is a surgeon who just came back from abroad and was invited to the banquet today.When the girl had an accident, he was not far away, and ran over when he heard the call for help.

"If it was a little later, the girl might not be able to be rescued. Their family should thank you very much." Yancheng's words were full of appreciation and comfort.On such an occasion, it was beyond his expectation that some guests would jump into the lake to save people regardless of the danger.It's not that he is inherently evil, but that he has seen too much selfishness and cruelty in the so-called upper class, and the life of a stranger is nothing to them.

"In today's situation, if you didn't jump down, it is very likely that you waited until the waiter came to save people. But by then it may be too late." Yancheng said.

"No." Lin Shen's voice was a little hoarse because he also choked on saliva, "I believe that as long as there are people who can swim, they will save lives. Human beings have sympathy for their own kind, and Doctor Yan is obliged to do so." Did you come to the rescue?"

Lin Shen was surrounded by a blanket, with wet hair drooping on his forehead. He obviously looked about 20 years old, but his face had a kind of wisdom and calmness that did not match his age.There was a smile on his lips, and his three-dimensional facial features had a kind of detached beauty against the night light.

Even though Yan Cheng was used to seeing all kinds of beauties, he couldn't help but hesitate for a moment.It was the first time to be stunned by a man's appearance for a few seconds.

Yan Cheng secretly laughed at his behavior, "I'm narrow-minded." After finishing speaking, he blinked humorously, "This kind of reception is not useless, at least I can meet people like you."

The two chatted happily, exchanged mobile phone numbers with each other, and chatted for a while.Lin Shen also had a good impression of Yancheng. During the chat, he knew that this person was the eldest son of the Yan family. The Yan family was from a medical family and a scholarly family. He also knew that Yancheng would not leave when he came back this time, and planned to open a family in the capital. Large medical beauty center.

The waiter finally found two sets of clothes, which were simple shirts and trousers. Lin Shen was not particular about it, so he took a shower in the restroom of the lounge, changed his clothes, and then bid farewell to Yancheng.

After experiencing this unexpected incident, the discomfort Wei Qidong had brought just now has disappeared.Lin Shen walked through the garden corridor and walked towards the banquet hall. After so long, the banquet was almost over, and he didn't know if Li Jibai would look for him.

Sure enough, the people at the banquet almost disappeared one after another, Lin Shen looked around in a daze, but still did not find Li Jibai.

He walked to the open-air lawn venue not far from the main hall, and finally saw the person he had been looking for all night.

With a glass of red wine in his hand, Li Jibai was chatting with someone sideways.He was wearing a lead gray suit today, which made him look taller, taller, and more graceful.

Lin Shen came closer, stopped, and stood quietly, looking at the person in front of him.

They have been in a cold war for two days, but Lin Shen felt that it was as long as a century.He couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, regretted his cold attitude countless times, replayed countless times that every action and every word of his hurt people, thinking about it, he almost felt that he was heinous.

When he gets back tonight, he plans to talk to Li Jibai, admit his mistakes, and explain that he and Wei Qidong have nothing to do, and then give that person a piece of freshly baked strawberry pie, maybe he won't be angry up.

Also, he also wanted to say, if you really want to be with Jiang Ning, as long as you are happy, then...be together!

I hope that you will be as bright as the sun every day, and everything goes well, how can I be willing to make you angry!

Maybe it was because Lin Shen's gaze was too focused, Li Jibai turned his head as if feeling something, the two of them exchanged gazes, and for more than ten seconds, neither of them looked away, as if they wanted to see each other into their hearts.

Li Jibai walked towards Lin Shen, walking very slowly, and stood still when they were two steps away.He keenly noticed that Lin Shen was not wearing his own clothes: "What's the matter with the clothes?" This was the first sentence he said to Lin Shen in the past two days.

Lin Shen's nose was slightly sour, and he suppressed the emotions in his heart, and briefly talked about his previous rescue.

Li Jibai looked at him quietly and listened carefully to what he had to say.It wasn't until Lin Shen stopped talking for a long time that he suddenly came back to his senses.

"What's wrong?" Lin Shen was familiar with every micro-expression and small movement of Li Jibai, he rarely saw Li Jibai so absent-minded as now, as if he was thinking about something.He even suspected that Li Jibai wasn't listening to him at all just now.

"It's okay, I'm a little tired." Li Jibai's voice was deep, as if every word was difficult to say.He still had a glass of wine in his hand, but he didn't put it down.After a while, he said: "Let's go." He said and walked forward.

"Okay." Lin Shen nodded, looked at his watch, it was almost 11 o'clock, and he should really go back.

However, before Lin Shen could catch up, Li Jibai suddenly stopped, turned around, and just looked at him steadfastly.Then, as if he had just made a major decision, he opened his mouth slowly.

"Ah Shen, I left my watch in the upstairs room, go and help me get it off."

Mother: Ah Shen, hurry up.Go up and show you a big baby.

Yancheng: I am the key person, and I will be of great use in the future.
