However, Jiang Jin rolled his eyes at him and said nothing. Jiang Jin picked up a glass of whiskey on the table, raised his head and drank it in one gulp. Then he put down the glass and said calmly, "I have surgery tomorrow, so you can drink." After that, he stood up and walked downstairs with his legs up. Looking at Jiang Jin's leaving figure, Ke Shaoyu shook his head helplessly and muttered, "It's really boring." However, he quickly regained his interest and continued to drink happily with his friends... Jiang Yun, who was sitting at the bar, saw the man on the second floor leaving, put down the cocktail in his hand, and said to Lin Jiu'er, "Jiu'er, I'm going to the bathroom, I'll be back as soon as I go." At this time, her clueless best friend asked, "Do you want me to accompany you, Yunyun?" "No, no, you drink first." After that, she walked towards the door on her thin high heels... Jiang Jin was waiting for the driver to pick him up. After finishing five surgeries in a day, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and enjoyed a moment of tranquility in the evening breeze, which seemed to relieve some of the fatigue in his body. "Hey~" A soft call suddenly came from behind. Jiang Jin turned around when he heard the sound. When he saw the person, he put out the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the trash can. "Why don't you smoke?" Jiang Yun approached him and asked with a smile. "We don't have the habit of letting girls smoke secondhand smoke." Jiang Jin explained in a calm tone. "Tai Gong Jiang is fishing." Jiang Jin felt a little baffled by her sudden words, his brows furrowed slightly, and there was a trace of doubt and confusion in his eyes. Jiang Yun chuckled lightly and then said, "Do you know what Jiang Taigong's next line about fishing is?" She was not surprised to see Jiang Jin still silent, because she had expected this result, so she answered to herself, "The one who wishes will take the bait." Jiang Jin seemed to have no interest in her words. He put his hands in his pockets and looked straight ahead calmly. He raised his hand and gently tugged on the collar of his shirt, as if he wanted to dissipate the smell of alcohol... Jiang Yun was not discouraged by this. Instead, he turned slightly forward, raised his eyes, and looked straight at him. The fragrance of her body blew gently in the breeze and lingered on the tip of his nose, like an invisible bond. He only heard her soft voice ringing softly in his ears: "Tai Gong Jiang is fishing, and whoever wants to take the bait will take the bait. Then I will fish for you, will you take the bait?" Jiang Jin lowered his head and looked at the girl in front of him carefully. He saw her eyelashes fluttering slightly after she finished speaking, her long curly hair swaying in the wind, her soft lips slightly open, and her bright eyes charming... Jiang Jin sneered, "Who am I the one you caught?" After speaking, he took a breath and asked as if to steady his breath. "I caught one, but I haven't succeeded yet~"
