When going down the mountain, Lu Zijian asked Gu Meng: "Do you want to rest in the tree house for one night before leaving?"

"No Brother Lu, let's go back directly." Gu Meng was not worried about Lu Zijian's behavior, but just felt sorry for her little internship allowance.

Gu Meng said: "If you get sleepy on the road, let me drive."

"Ok."

Although Lu Zijian promised, he was driving the whole process by himself.

The G650 gallops on the highway at high speed, like a sharp sword cutting out a ray of light in the dark night.

Gu Meng was worried that Lu Zijian would be sleepy, even though his upper eyelids kept provoking his lower eyelids, he still used his thoughts to chat with Lu Zijian.

"Brother Lu, you said you built the tree house to get out?"

"Hmm." Hearing Gu Meng's question, Lu Zijian couldn't help tightening his hands on the steering wheel.

Gu Meng barely blinked in the overwhelming sleepiness, and asked in a soft voice: "Come out...what do you mean?"

Lu Zijian didn't answer. His fingernails cut into the leather covering the steering wheel. If you observe carefully, you can see that his knuckles are slightly white.

At this time, Gu Meng's upper and lower eyelids had already started fighting, and she didn't notice Lu Zijian's reaction at all.

The slightly vibrating carriage fell into silence.

When Lu Zijian turned to look at Gu Meng, she had already fallen asleep on the seat.

Her breathing was steady and regular, and her small and delicate face looked tired.

Lu Zijian slowly turned his head and looked ahead indifferently, the lines of his face gradually became stiff.

Lightly tap the tiptoe on the accelerator to exert force secretly, and the speed pointer on the dashboard immediately soars to 200.

That was the average speed of the racing car, and Lu Zijian had long been used to it, but when the car navigation kept sending overspeed notifications, his face darkened and he lifted his foot to let go of the accelerator.

Lu Zijian glanced at Gu Meng, she was in a deep sleep and was not woken up by the navigation announcement.

LED headlights illuminated the road ahead, which was the only light on the dark highway in the early morning. Lu Zijian took a long breath at the boundless night and bright lights, and answered Gu Meng's question to himself.

"That night in Norway was a lingering nightmare for me. The psychiatrist told me that if I want to get out of that nightmare, I can't avoid it. That's why I found such a place and built a tree house exactly like it."

No one knows how many long nights Lu Zijian spent in this tree house in the deep mountains and old forests, fighting and fighting against the absurd and embarrassing memories alone, until he completely defeated the nightmare and successfully walked out.

Gu Meng woke up once in the middle of the journey, perhaps because the familiar slight shock suddenly disappeared and she was not used to it, so she opened her eyes dimly.

Through the glass window, she saw the familiar figure not far away, Lu Zijian was standing beside the green belt smoking a cigarette, the spark on his fingertip flickered on and off.

Gu Meng glanced sleepily and then fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up again, the sky had already turned white, and the slowly rising sun cast a yellowish halo on the high-voltage power line towers by the roadside.

The car navigation was turned off by Lu Zijian at some point, Gu Meng rubbed his eyelids and asked, "Brother Lu, where are we?"

"There is still half an hour to get off the highway." Lu Zijian turned his head and asked, "Are you hungry? There is a restaurant in the south of the city that makes quite authentic Cantonese rice rolls. May I take you to try it?"

Gu Meng moved her stiff neck and refused, "No need, Brother Lu, I'm not hungry."

She wanted to go back and take a hot shower, her limbs ached from sleeping in the car.

"it is good."

Lu Zijian directly sent Gu Meng back to the gate of the dormitory.

Before getting off the car, Gu Meng really wanted to ask Lu Zijian how he knew she lived here, but she was a little worried that Lu Zijian would not answer her question like last night.

Seeing Gu Meng's hesitant look, Lu Zijian solemnly reminded: "Gu Meng, we're here."

"Oh, yes!" Gu Meng unbuttoned his seat belt with some embarrassment, "Brother Lu, you..."

Just when Gu Meng was hesitating, Lu Zijian suddenly leaned forward: "I won't be able to bear it if you don't get out of the car."

Can't help it?What do you mean?

Lu Zijian's face slowly approached under Gu Meng's suspicious gaze, Gu Meng finally realized what Lu Zijian meant by "can't help it", she quickly opened the door and got out of the car.

"Brother Lu, thank you for sending me back, I'll go first."

Gu Meng hurriedly dropped a few words, turned around and left, Lu Zijian looked at her leaving back with smiles on his eyes and brows.

Gu Meng also returned to the dormitory only to find that the shawl was still wrapped around her body: "Forget it, return it to Ziyan when we meet next time."

She took a shower comfortably, and took the silk scarf to the laundry for dry cleaning on the way to work.

It was rare for Gu Meng to arrive at the office so early, and saw Annie putting on makeup as soon as she entered the door.

"Morning..." When Gu Meng saw Annie's face with only base makeup on, the ending sound changed instantly.

She sighed sincerely: "My God! Your makeup skills are amazing!"

Annie took out the eyebrow pencil from her makeup bag and said "Tsk", "Are you complimenting me or hurting me?"

"Just take it for now that I'm praising you, don't make things difficult for yourself!" Gu Meng patted her shoulder with a smile.

Annie shrugged her shoulders to avoid Gu Meng's hand: "Don't touch me, cross me later."

Gu Meng pulled up a chair with great interest and sat down to observe Annie's makeup on the spot. Seeing that she was sticking double eyelids and using glue to stick false eyelashes, she wondered, "Why don't you cut a knife and plant false eyelashes or something? Is it troublesome to do this every day?"

"No!" Annie said in a serious manner while fanning the glue on the false eyelashes with her hands: "The body, hair and skin are the parents, and they dare not damage the beginning of filial piety."

"Pfft..." Gu Meng said with a smile: "I think you are afraid of pain!"

Annie hung her eyelids and glued the thick and long false eyelashes on before asking: "Secret, where did you skip work yesterday?"

Gu Meng's eyelids twitched: "I went out to play with my friends."

Just when she was about to ask Annie something, Sue came in with a bag of coffee and bread.

"Big secret, I said next time you sneak out, can you say hello to both of us first?" Sue handed the bread bag to Gu Meng, "Would you like to eat?"

Gu Meng reached out to take a croissant, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Sue glared at Gu Meng: "Simon called your landline yesterday morning to check the post?"

Gu Meng heard that the movements of his hands froze, and he frowned and asked incredulously, "Chagang?"

"Otherwise?" Annie twisted the lipstick out with one hand, "Why don't you check the post and pick your office landline?"

Hearing this, Gu Meng suddenly lost her appetite, and threw the freshly baked croissant into the bag.

Seeing this, Sue quickly comforted her, "Don't worry, we've already covered you."

"Girlshelpgirls." After Annie finished speaking, she still did not forget to raise her eyebrows and wink at Gu Meng.

Gu Meng forced a smile, but the root of her tongue was slightly bitter, and said in her heart: Well, you are so fierce, you actually checked my post!
