Chapter 672 The Initial Journey
Chapter 672 The Initial Journey
An hour later, An Xia didn't even pack her luggage and left the Cheng family's villa together with Cheng Yanbei who was waiting outside the door. In the silence all the way, she watched the scenery outside the car window recede a little bit and disappeared from sight...
She was very surprised when boarding the boat. She never thought it would be a boat ride. She followed Cheng Yanbei across the deck. Although it was afternoon, the light here was very poor, and the shadows cast by the incandescent lamps were outlined It was extremely slender, and the huge ship was actually very quiet, only the sound of the sea wind whistling and waves beating against the hull could be heard.
An Xia didn't have much energy to look around, so she turned and walked into the cabin.
Unexpectedly, this time happened to be the lunch time in the cabin, so it was natural to see people sitting around eating together, "Let's have something to eat first!" Cheng Yanbei waved to her, motioning for her to sit down together, "The journey is More than ten days, so you'd better try to be friendly with these people, understand?"
Although he knew the meaning of these words very well, he was surprised why Cheng Yanbei communicated with her in French, did he not want these people to hear it?
An Xia walked over directly as she said, sat next to her, and looked at her with a slight smile, "What should I call you? 'Miss Cheng' or 'Beibei'?"
While talking, she took the wooden chopsticks at hand to break them apart, rubbed them back and forth to clean up the sawdust, and took a piece of fried rice cakes from the celadon plate. It is undeniable that the journey of several hours really made her hungry!
Afterwards, the conversation between the two people was basically in French. Fortunately, An Xia had lived in France for a long time, so he was familiar with it. "Although my elder brother made a mess, he has achieved his goal after all!" Cheng Yanbei stood beside the table. , looked at her, "You are very cooperative!"
"It's not cooperation, I just don't want to bother too many people." She told Cheng Yanbei, "Maybe you won't understand that this decision was not made on impulse!"
Cheng Yanbei raised the corner of his mouth, showing a look of wanting to smile, "Indeed, I don't want to understand the things between you, but I suggest you better keep quiet..."
She couldn't laugh or cry when she heard it, she was already at peace with the situation, why does this Miss Cheng want her to be more quiet, she is not a nimble Xiaoyue, even if her swimming skills are good, it doesn't mean she can get rid of the Cheng family, don't think about it She also knows that everyone on this boat is good at water, so she won't be impulsive!
As early as the decision was made, it was clear that agreeing to the Cheng family's request would mean stepping into a situation where there would be no redemption.
"You can rest assured about this!" She looked at Cheng Yanbei, "Just give me a set of painting tools in addition to three meals a day, and I will be more secure!"
Before Cheng Yanbei could answer, she got up and walked out of the cabin. The sea breeze was blowing heavily on her cardigan jacket, and her body shivered reflexively. She didn't expect it to be so cold. She leaned against the corner next to the railing, trying to avoid the sea breeze. Unlike the Su family, she is not clear about the sphere of influence of the Cheng family. I remember that Su Yuechen once said when chatting with her before that measuring the sphere of influence of their four major families is not the actual distance on the map. The range of 7000 kilometers is the so-called border The sum of the lines, without touching the commercial field, but only the Cheng family is the leader.
I have to admit that the Cheng family is very capable in this regard.
The light on the deck was obviously not as bright as the inside of the cabin. When An Xia was in a trance, her arms tightened as if she was imprisoned by some force. She frowned slightly and backed away in fright, trying to break free, but after seeing the person coming, Dispelled the sense of resistance.
The man standing in front of her was completely soaked, and he let go of her hand after realizing that she hadn't resisted, and put his short hair dripping with water behind his head. The man with his upper body naked was only wearing black swimming shorts, exposing his body. The outside body has too many hideous scars, especially the marks of gunshot wounds on the arm, and the familiar knife wound on the left chest. She quickly retracted her gaze and stopped looking at the man beside her. Her chest heaved violently. Then, took a deep breath and said softly, "Why are you here?"
But when he asked about it, he felt that it was unnecessary. Ajie was originally the escort of the Cheng family, so it was reasonable to appear on this boat.
"Is it weird?" He leaned over to look at An Xia, "I'm originally from the Cheng family, but I'm also a good brother of Su Yuechen's life and death."
Before An Xia had time to ask further, the man in front of him was already a little irritable, and he pushed open the wooden door next to the corner, "Let's talk about it next time we meet, I still have things to do."
Watching the man close the door and disappear miraculously again, within a few minutes of opening and closing the door, An Xia, who hadn't fully understood yet, saw a shadow appearing on the deck, and then looked up.
It's Cheng Yanbei!
An Xia subconsciously avoided her sight, and the doubts in her heart were circling because she felt even more irritable because of the appearance of this person.So I secretly warned myself to calm down.
Cheng Yanbei's voice carried an obvious smile, "You should have seen him, right?"
"kindness."
"He swims every day at lunch time, which is said to keep everyone out of sight," she continued. "He hates people seeing him topless."
No wonder Ajie just now had some inexplicable resistance to her... But fortunately Ajie is not a so-called dangerous person, at least he will not stand on the hostile side.
Soon Cheng Yanbei handed her the whole set of painting tools that he had prepared, "These are the things you want, don't be too particular, just make do with them!"
The two of them blew the wind on the deck for a while before An Xia followed Cheng Yanbei back into the cabin. The first thing he saw was Ajie. He had already changed into a suit of clothes. It was a black T-shirt with a big neckline. , You can vaguely see the scars on the shoulders, the atmosphere in the cabin is very good, there is a teenage boy playing the guitar, it is a very light melody.
And Ajie was sitting in the middle, with neat short hair that was still a little wet, holding a knife and fork, preparing to eat a meal wrapped in plastic wrap.
Because of the melody, Cheng Yanbei was pulled over by the people sitting in the middle, yelling for her to join with her new friends, An Xia knew that she couldn't refuse, so she could only let someone pull her closer to the boy playing the guitar.
"My friend may not be familiar with this song," Cheng Yanbei put his arm on the shoulders of the people around him, "Why don't I come here?"
This surprised An Xia, she didn't expect this young lady of the Cheng family to have this side, she leaned against the wooden counter and clapped her hands along with the street. At the end of the song, she saw Cheng Yanbei bowing his head and smiling The palm of his hand casually touched the little boy playing the guitar, and whispered something...
"Would you like to try?"
"What?" An Xia looked back at Ajie who was sitting aside, the plate in front of him was already more than half empty, "Aren't you going to eat? I think fried rice cakes are delicious!"
Ajie smiled, put down the knife and fork in his hand, and leaned back on the back of the chair, "Speaking of which, I haven't touched the guitar for a long time!" His eyes fell on the guitar in the little boy's hand.
"Try it, I remember you can play the piano well..." A girl said excitedly, obviously seeing another side of Ajie, "I heard from Beibei that you can also play the piano!"
"Oh?" An Xia also looked at him.
The boy who was talking with Cheng Yanbei also heard their conversation, immediately got up and walked over, and handed over the guitar in his hand, Ajie smiled softly, and took it directly without restraint.
It seems that the people in the cabin are not unfamiliar with Ajie. From calling Cheng Yanbei "Beibei", they know that the people here have a special relationship with this Miss Cheng's family. Naturally, they are also familiar with Ajie. Some people are naughty whistle, and some people followed suit, "Did you know? It is said that men with slender fingers, especially those whose index fingers are longer than their middle fingers, are called 'lions' and look very handsome when they play the piano."
The little boy closest to Ajie immediately grabbed his palm, looked at his fingers in shock, compared the length of the index finger and middle finger, his eyes were full of shock, and he sighed repeatedly, "Really, I still I didn’t realize that Brother Jie’s index finger is really long!!”
Attracted by this unreliable remarks, An Xia's gaze also drifted away, and she looked around for a long time at those overly slender fingers with distinct knuckles. She had paid special attention to Ajie's fingers before because of Xiaoyue's relationship, although The arc of the fist is very beautiful, but the index finger is not as much as the middle finger. The pictures in her mind are overlapping. Could it be that she misread it?
Faced with so many people applauding, Ajie stood up casually, hung the guitar on his shoulders, and tried to pluck the strings a few times. Originally, An Xia was still deeply in doubt, but was greeted by the following extremely smooth and gentle The naughty and rhythmic rhythm is attractive, and I have to say that he really plays very well, but An Xia is even more pleasantly surprised, and feels more and more that the man in front of him does not match the Ajie in his memory at all.
Many people don't seem to be familiar with this song, and they can tell it from their expressions, but only An Xia knows it clearly. When they were honeymooning in Aegean Sea and Xu Qijun, they sang this song in Li Weijie's bar. Especially when Xu Qijun was the piano accompanist, she couldn't be more familiar with this song. In her flashy memory, she had already heard Ajie's voice, "Beibei, don't you plan to sing a song? I know you are familiar with this song." song!"
His voice is not low-pitched, on the contrary, it looks even more gorgeous when matched with the melody. An Xia looked up. While singing rhythmically, Ajie, who was holding the guitar, had already walked over, and stopped slowly near Cheng Yanbei, leaning over to look at her lazily, An Xia, who was standing by the side, always felt that the two of them The person seems to be communicating with his eyes...
Everyone immersed in the cheerful and enthusiastic atmosphere began to applaud, and the whistling continued. The boy who used to play the guitar also danced happily, flipping and jumping, typical hip-hop moves. Knowing that her skills must be outstanding, the laughter mixed with the applause made An Xia suddenly develop a strong liking for her, and when she was laughing, she noticed that someone was looking at her.
"Bei Bei sang very well," a beautiful woman in a cotton dress put her hands on the counter, holding a goblet, "New guests, this is a welcome ceremony, understand?"
"Welcome me?" An Xia looked at her. She didn't see this woman when she was eating at noon. After all, such a beauty has a strong sense of existence, so she will never forget it...
The beauty who was drinking didn't respond. Just as the song was over, the beauty standing by the counter followed Ajie's direction with blurred eyes. An Xia didn't bother to have any interaction with the people on the boat, so she simply lowered her eyes and went to Looking at his fingers, the index finger was obviously much shorter than the middle finger, because this beautiful woman with a voluptuous figure joined, and many men's eyes were entangled with this woman.
