◎Don’t have too many expectations.◎
Liang Ji’an probably doesn’t smoke.
Shen Lingjun had never smelled smoke on him during the time he had been in contact with him, but he somehow felt that if he were asked to choose a perfume suitable for Liang Ji’an, it would be mixed with some tobacco smell.
The smell of bergamot and juniper quickly dissipated in the air, and the smell that came afterwards was a little mild and moist, like some kind of roasted wood emanating from it, wrapping him faintly, like Liang Ji’an’s embrace, a feeling that was calm but not nervous.
Shen Lingjun was probably thinking about riding a horse and going out to play together that day. Shen Lingjun separated from Liang Jian only tomorrow morning, and now she started to miss him a little bit.
The sudden surge of longing made him feel embarrassed. Even though he was such an adult, it was a bit embarrassing to be so clingy to his brother. He rubbed his hot face and returned to the store, saying, “I want this one.”
He looked at the sales and added uncertainly: “It shouldn’t be too expensive, right?”
The salesman smiled and said, “You are really classy.”
“This perfume is called Dracan. It has an oak-based woody tone. It is not overly floral or fruity, nor is it too refreshing like cedar. It is an excellent choice for gift giving. However, our store currently only has samples. Due to the special design process of the bottle, the collectible fragrance itself is rare. It is only available in full format in the country of origin. If you are sure you want it, you can register here and we will arrange the goods for you.”
As time went by, the faint smell of leather and tobacco in the backnote of the perfume became more obvious. The progression of the scent of the whole perfume was very strange. Shen Lingjun could not describe it in professional terms. He only felt that the sniffing process was like a cat playing with the fallen part of a ball of wool. In the process of continuous chasing, it finally hugged the ball of wool, and the next second it was wrapped in a ball of loose wool. It was both magical and natural.
He was completely sure that this was the perfume he was looking for, and the price of 12,800 was within his acceptable range. He didn’t care whether the sales were deceiving him or engaging in hunger marketing. He paid for the registration very happily, and went home satisfied with the 2ml sample he was given.
He Wen looked at the route to the shared location, and saw that his route on the first floor was like an ant spinning in circles, and then turned into a straight line, getting closer and closer to the underground parking lot, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Lingjun brought He Wen a freshly baked egg tart and handed it over with a sweet smile, “Uncle, I bought it specially for you.”
He Wen smiled at him kindly and said, “Thank you, young master.”
The egg tart exuded a sweet smell. Just as He Wen took a bite, Shen Lingjun suddenly thought of something beside him, “Actually, the person I just met is not a classmate.”
“It’s Lu Jiayan.”
He Wen almost choked to death on the egg tart skin. He looked at Shen Lingjun with shocked pupils. When had he been so rude after being a housekeeper for so many years? He quickly swallowed the food and said, “What?”
“It’s nothing.” Shen Lingjun squeezed the water from the car and handed it to He Wen, “He looks a little weird. I will tell my brother, and now you know it.”
Shen Lingjun’s eyebrows were curved and he said: “Uncle, you were also there when I met Lu Jiayan, don’t forget.”
He still remembered that he had to tell all the lies. It took He Wen a few seconds to realize what Shen Lingjun meant, and he smiled helplessly with a hint of despair.
This young master is really obedient and disobedient.
The car drove smoothly back to the house, and the aunt estimated that it was just in time to finish dinner. Shen Lingjun was a little uncomfortable sitting alone at the large dining table. He turned to He Wen and said, “How many hours is the time difference between my brother’s place and here?”
He Wen replied: “Nine hours.”
Shen Lingjun took a bite of his food silently and whispered, “Then I’d better not call him. He must be very tired after taking such a long flight.”
But in fact, Liang Ji’an is a person who doesn’t need jet lag.
On the one hand, he is full of energy. On the other hand, even if there is a jet lag, his sleep is still related to the local time. Even if he has not rested for 24 hours, he will not be able to fall asleep if it is still daytime locally.
After the plane landed, he went to the hotel to change his clothes, and his partners were already waiting for him at the appointed place.
The Liang family started out in the industry and covered a wide range of areas. Liang Ji’an went abroad this time to examine new cargo transportation agency routes. A previously used route had to stop cooperation due to frequent local firefights. The cost of other land transportation routes was too high. It was better to choose sea transportation, as the single transportation volume was large and more secure.
They had negotiated several times beforehand, and the interview process was overall smooth. After Liang Ji’an spent two days in the factory and dock to understand the operation process of the route, he didn’t hesitate anymore. After the contract was finalized, the other party kindly invited him to a cocktail party.
Shen Lingjun hasn’t called him in the past few days, but occasionally sends him a few messages, as if he is afraid of disturbing him.
When he was not around, Liang Jian realized that he seemed to have become accustomed to Shen Lingjun, a little follower who hung around him all day long.
When he was in China, he spent most of his time at the company, and often worked overtime in his study after returning home. Shen Lingjun didn’t get to see him much, but during the time between eating and chatting and occasionally taking him to and from school, Shen Lingjun unknowingly filled his life.
It was already late at night when the reception ended, and the city was in the rainy season. The fine rain falling on the umbrella made a rustling sound, and blew diagonally on people’s cheeks with the night wind. Liang Jian did not let the driver take him back. The hotel where he was resting was very close. He held an umbrella and walked on the way back. There was no one on the street, and only the street lights on both sides cast a dim light.
He almost never had the opportunity to be alone the night before his birthday. Most of the time, he had to follow his parents and obey their instructions and arrangements. Now, according to domestic time, in ten hours, it would be midnight on May 18th.
Shen Lingjun should be on his way to school right now, going to class, resting, after school, going home, eating, sleeping, maybe playing games for a while, and spending a normal day, like every day in the past.
I didn’t tell him my birthday, and Liang Ji’an thought that if I told him, he would happily prepare gifts and birthday wishes for me.
Why not tell him?
Liang Ji’an stopped. He was not on the way back to the hotel, but walked to the bank of the Suoxi River that ran through the city.
The lights on the shore were brighter, and Liang Ji’an could vaguely see his face clearly in the reflection of the river. The rain fell into the water, making ripples in circles, so Liang Ji’an’s face became blurred with the rain.
Don’t have too many expectations.
Not just this birthday.
