第5章 嘶！拉下他的拉链
寂静无声的迈巴赫后座。
窗外倒退的霓虹，灯火通明的大厦，这些都是乔梨不曾看到过的风光。
身侧神色淡然的男人，上车后就没再说过话，离开前也不曾看到霍母出来相送，似是谈崩了。
她轻轻勾住靳明霽的手，想试探下他的態度。
手被他反握，如过去那般十指紧扣。
京市核心地段最顶尖的豪门住区——望星宫。
最佳楼王。
顶层足足1000平的空中別墅。
是靳明霽的居所。
乔梨站在落地窗前俯瞰城市夜景，又是与刚才完全不同的感觉。
“在看什么？”他刚洗完澡，身上还带著水汽。
乔梨扑入他怀里，努力扮演出自小在荒芜土地上成长的贫苦少女，初次看到世界另一面的惊喜。
“这里看夜景好漂亮。”
她踮起脚尖，亲了亲他的唇，“谢谢你，阿霽。”
“如果没有你，我这辈子可能都离不开边城，看不到这么好看的夜景。”
望向他的杏眸似水含情，垂眸须臾，眸子深处又藏著不易察觉的冷漠和秘密。
如斯美景，愈发坚定了她继续向上攀爬的决心。
靳明霽搂住她的腰，“喜欢就送给你。”
“什么？”乔梨眸光颤了颤，故作不知，“阿霽，你这话是什么意思？”
这么快就要和她分开了？
穿著福管家准备的纯白色连衣裙，乔梨像极了一朵不染纤尘的娇。
可靳明霽知道，她不是。
他平静道：“我在这小区还有几套房產，你可以挑一套喜欢的。”
“我不要。”乔梨不假思索地拒绝。
脸颊重新埋入他怀中，她抱著他的力道也加重了些。
不论这是不是对她的试探，她很清楚，一旦拿了房，某些失控后的责任就彻底两清了。
这对不缺钱的他而言，是最轻鬆的解决办法。
睡袍松垮披在身上，慵懒隨性，靳明霽精致高挺的鼻樑下，薄唇微抿，让人在不经意间被吸引。
“看著我。”他嗓音透著无形的威慑。
乔梨顺从抬头，黑玉般的眸子一眨不眨盯著他，透著说不出的倔强。
他噙著笑问她：“你知道这里一套房价值多少吗？”
她固执道：“不管多少，我都不要。”
乔梨语气中裹著不安，“我知道你妈妈不喜欢我，如果收下这套房的代价是失去你，那我寧愿不要。”
箍在他腰间的力道，比两人初见时还要紧。
靳明霽搂她的手曖昧摩挲，嗓音里透著隱晦提醒，“小梨，错过这次机会，就没下次了。”
炙热的体温，隔著轻薄布料传递到她的心口，乔梨恍若没有察觉头顶那道视线里的打量，坚定道，“那就没有吧。”
她在赌。
赌她捨弃这些，才能获得这个男人的正视。

鸦羽般浓密的长睫在眼瞼投下一片阴影，掩住她眸子里孤注一掷的胆量和勇气。
轻轻眨眼间，若有似无抚过他松垮睡袍下的肌肤。
扣在她腰间的手掌收紧，靳明霽紧皱的眉头缓缓舒展，嘴角也勾起了一抹淡淡的弧度。
那晚之后，靳明霽没有再和她谈起补偿的事情。
她知道自己赌贏了。
靳明霽很忙，除了浴室换下的西装，证明他每晚都有回来过，两人已经很久没有碰面。
乔梨被安置在这座空中別墅，物业管家会按时上门送上三餐，吃穿不愁。
可这並不是乔梨想要的生活。
她想要念大学。
別墅里一个很大的书房，里面都是各种金融书籍，有几本上面写有註解，看起来像靳明霽的笔跡。
她把舒適的单人沙发挪动到书房，抬头看的是京市的盛景，低头读的是金融经济的发展。
乔梨用一个月的时间，看完了书房里绝大部分的书。
也是时候进行下一步了。
在老村长用她母亲迁坟为理由，把她骗回村之前，乔梨刚刚拿到京市清大的录取通知书。
她本该是前途光明的高材生，却被人关在老家硬生生错过了入学时间，还差一点失去了清白和人生。
这是她的苦难。
但光凭这一点不足以让靳明霽心软。
再美的菟丝，都不过是可有可无的附属品，可若是一个用尽全力想走到他身边的攀登者呢？
乔梨眸中掠过精光，心里有了主意。
这天夜里，靳明霽没在主臥看到人，找了圈，才发现她在书房睡著了。
怀里放了本看到一半的书籍，旁边充当小书桌的椅子上摞起书山，全都是清大金融经济学教授的书。
他深深看了她半晌，才把人抱回了主臥。
次日周末。
乔梨醒来发现靳明霽还在，就知道自己成功了一步。
她笑著抱他，脸颊蹭了蹭他脖颈，“阿霽，我好久没看到你了。”
单薄睡袍下是蓄意点起的火。
上次亲近，还是靳家保鏢来边城请他回京的那夜。
装作看不出他意欲退出亲密关係的打算，乔梨啄了啄他的唇，一眼望进他黑沉沉的眸子。
她忙闭上眼，小心翼翼在他隱忍克制的边缘疯狂试探。
可不管她怎么探索他的气息，这个男人就像入定那般双唇紧闭，令她有些泄气。
在她佯装恼羞成怒，退离他怀抱那刻，强势的力道重新覆上她的唇。
乔梨悬著的心总算落回了实地。
两个小时后，她倚偎在他怀里，低沉的声音自她头顶传来，“小梨，想上大学吗？”
乔梨呼吸猛地一滯：终於来了。
她故作嘆息道，“我学籍在边城，校长是老村长的亲侄子……”
有些话点到即止，过犹不及的道理她还是懂的。
“算了。”她重新扬起笑脸，仰头与他对视，“我已经证明过自己的能力，现在这样已经很好。”

如果真的甘心，她就不会用靳明霽的电脑查復读信息。
电脑上登陆了他的帐號，只要他想，就能查看到她的搜索记录。
乔梨以退为进，心其实早已提到了嗓子眼。
他目光透著无尽的黑，“想吗？”
她哽咽：“想。”
“那就读。”他摸了摸她脑袋，声音里透露著掌权者的强大气场。
几天后。
靳明霽的秘书萧逸舟送来了一份文件。
“乔小姐，你的户籍处理好了。”
萧秘书没想到眼前这人，就是去年新闻报导，让清大招生团队远赴西北却扑空的满分状元。
她母亲还是京市户口，这也让事情处理起来更快。
“谢谢。”乔梨拿文件的手都在颤抖。
她能在京市重新参加自考了。
靳明霽应酬完归家，还未开灯就被人抱住，拉链声响起，喉结重重往下滚动，“小梨？”
乔梨：“是我。”
微醺的醉意，在她的的蛊惑下持续发酵。
就在窒息般的绞杀袭来之际！
玄关处的手机震动，特殊的铃声隨之响起。
感受到靳明霽骤然停下的动作，她强忍著身体的难耐睁开眼，瞥到了来电显示上的名字。
……沈知霜。
佣人口中那个和靳家大少爷订婚的沈家千金。
也是靳明霽的白月光。
窗外倒退的霓虹，灯火通明的大厦，这些都是乔梨不曾看到过的风光。
身侧神色淡然的男人，上车后就没再说过话，离开前也不曾看到霍母出来相送，似是谈崩了。
她轻轻勾住靳明霽的手，想试探下他的態度。
手被他反握，如过去那般十指紧扣。
京市核心地段最顶尖的豪门住区——望星宫。
最佳楼王。
顶层足足1000平的空中別墅。
是靳明霽的居所。
乔梨站在落地窗前俯瞰城市夜景，又是与刚才完全不同的感觉。
“在看什么？”他刚洗完澡，身上还带著水汽。
乔梨扑入他怀里，努力扮演出自小在荒芜土地上成长的贫苦少女，初次看到世界另一面的惊喜。
“这里看夜景好漂亮。”
她踮起脚尖，亲了亲他的唇，“谢谢你，阿霽。”
“如果没有你，我这辈子可能都离不开边城，看不到这么好看的夜景。”
望向他的杏眸似水含情，垂眸须臾，眸子深处又藏著不易察觉的冷漠和秘密。
如斯美景，愈发坚定了她继续向上攀爬的决心。
靳明霽搂住她的腰，“喜欢就送给你。”
“什么？”乔梨眸光颤了颤，故作不知，“阿霽，你这话是什么意思？”
这么快就要和她分开了？
穿著福管家准备的纯白色连衣裙，乔梨像极了一朵不染纤尘的娇。
可靳明霽知道，她不是。
他平静道：“我在这小区还有几套房產，你可以挑一套喜欢的。”
“我不要。”乔梨不假思索地拒绝。
脸颊重新埋入他怀中，她抱著他的力道也加重了些。
不论这是不是对她的试探，她很清楚，一旦拿了房，某些失控后的责任就彻底两清了。
这对不缺钱的他而言，是最轻鬆的解决办法。
睡袍松垮披在身上，慵懒隨性，靳明霽精致高挺的鼻樑下，薄唇微抿，让人在不经意间被吸引。
“看著我。”他嗓音透著无形的威慑。
乔梨顺从抬头，黑玉般的眸子一眨不眨盯著他，透著说不出的倔强。
他噙著笑问她：“你知道这里一套房价值多少吗？”
她固执道：“不管多少，我都不要。”
乔梨语气中裹著不安，“我知道你妈妈不喜欢我，如果收下这套房的代价是失去你，那我寧愿不要。”
箍在他腰间的力道，比两人初见时还要紧。
靳明霽搂她的手曖昧摩挲，嗓音里透著隱晦提醒，“小梨，错过这次机会，就没下次了。”
炙热的体温，隔著轻薄布料传递到她的心口，乔梨恍若没有察觉头顶那道视线里的打量，坚定道，“那就没有吧。”
她在赌。
赌她捨弃这些，才能获得这个男人的正视。

鸦羽般浓密的长睫在眼瞼投下一片阴影，掩住她眸子里孤注一掷的胆量和勇气。
轻轻眨眼间，若有似无抚过他松垮睡袍下的肌肤。
扣在她腰间的手掌收紧，靳明霽紧皱的眉头缓缓舒展，嘴角也勾起了一抹淡淡的弧度。
那晚之后，靳明霽没有再和她谈起补偿的事情。
她知道自己赌贏了。
靳明霽很忙，除了浴室换下的西装，证明他每晚都有回来过，两人已经很久没有碰面。
乔梨被安置在这座空中別墅，物业管家会按时上门送上三餐，吃穿不愁。
可这並不是乔梨想要的生活。
她想要念大学。
別墅里一个很大的书房，里面都是各种金融书籍，有几本上面写有註解，看起来像靳明霽的笔跡。
她把舒適的单人沙发挪动到书房，抬头看的是京市的盛景，低头读的是金融经济的发展。
乔梨用一个月的时间，看完了书房里绝大部分的书。
也是时候进行下一步了。
在老村长用她母亲迁坟为理由，把她骗回村之前，乔梨刚刚拿到京市清大的录取通知书。
她本该是前途光明的高材生，却被人关在老家硬生生错过了入学时间，还差一点失去了清白和人生。
这是她的苦难。
但光凭这一点不足以让靳明霽心软。
再美的菟丝，都不过是可有可无的附属品，可若是一个用尽全力想走到他身边的攀登者呢？
乔梨眸中掠过精光，心里有了主意。
这天夜里，靳明霽没在主臥看到人，找了圈，才发现她在书房睡著了。
怀里放了本看到一半的书籍，旁边充当小书桌的椅子上摞起书山，全都是清大金融经济学教授的书。
他深深看了她半晌，才把人抱回了主臥。
次日周末。
乔梨醒来发现靳明霽还在，就知道自己成功了一步。
她笑著抱他，脸颊蹭了蹭他脖颈，“阿霽，我好久没看到你了。”
单薄睡袍下是蓄意点起的火。
上次亲近，还是靳家保鏢来边城请他回京的那夜。
装作看不出他意欲退出亲密关係的打算，乔梨啄了啄他的唇，一眼望进他黑沉沉的眸子。
她忙闭上眼，小心翼翼在他隱忍克制的边缘疯狂试探。
可不管她怎么探索他的气息，这个男人就像入定那般双唇紧闭，令她有些泄气。
在她佯装恼羞成怒，退离他怀抱那刻，强势的力道重新覆上她的唇。
乔梨悬著的心总算落回了实地。
两个小时后，她倚偎在他怀里，低沉的声音自她头顶传来，“小梨，想上大学吗？”
乔梨呼吸猛地一滯：终於来了。
她故作嘆息道，“我学籍在边城，校长是老村长的亲侄子……”
有些话点到即止，过犹不及的道理她还是懂的。
“算了。”她重新扬起笑脸，仰头与他对视，“我已经证明过自己的能力，现在这样已经很好。”

如果真的甘心，她就不会用靳明霽的电脑查復读信息。
电脑上登陆了他的帐號，只要他想，就能查看到她的搜索记录。
乔梨以退为进，心其实早已提到了嗓子眼。
他目光透著无尽的黑，“想吗？”
她哽咽：“想。”
“那就读。”他摸了摸她脑袋，声音里透露著掌权者的强大气场。
几天后。
靳明霽的秘书萧逸舟送来了一份文件。
“乔小姐，你的户籍处理好了。”
萧秘书没想到眼前这人，就是去年新闻报导，让清大招生团队远赴西北却扑空的满分状元。
她母亲还是京市户口，这也让事情处理起来更快。
“谢谢。”乔梨拿文件的手都在颤抖。
她能在京市重新参加自考了。
靳明霽应酬完归家，还未开灯就被人抱住，拉链声响起，喉结重重往下滚动，“小梨？”
乔梨：“是我。”
微醺的醉意，在她的的蛊惑下持续发酵。
就在窒息般的绞杀袭来之际！
玄关处的手机震动，特殊的铃声隨之响起。
感受到靳明霽骤然停下的动作，她强忍著身体的难耐睁开眼，瞥到了来电显示上的名字。
……沈知霜。
佣人口中那个和靳家大少爷订婚的沈家千金。
也是靳明霽的白月光。
