Rebirth, the childhood sweetheart turned out to be my sister

Chapter 198 Chatting on a Thunderstorm Night

Because this time, after all, it was their company that shamelessly begged others to cooperate with them. In order to show their sincerity, the senior management of "Huaikang" also took over some research and development materials that had not been made public.

The whole company agreed on this.

"...This is all the information about our company, please take a look."

I thought this woman would take a few glances, but unexpectedly, she rubbed her eyes and completely lay down on the recliner.

"I'm sorry, I'm a little tired, and suddenly I don't want to read it. Can you please read it for me?"

"Ah... read it completely?"

Xu Luo looked at the dozens of pages of information in his hand. If he read them all, he might not have to read them until tomorrow morning.

"Um...do you have any questions, Commissioner Xu?"

Xu Luo's face turned dark, but he still nodded cooperatively and said, "Okay, I understand Jiang Bo..."

"Huh?" Jiang Yao opened her eyes and looked over through a small slit.

"Jiang Yao."

"Hmm~" After hearing this, the guy closed his eyes with satisfaction, even adjusted his posture, and said happily: "Let's get started."

No, why didn't I realize that this guy was so sinister before?

Although he had spanked Jiang Yao countless times in his heart, Xu Luo still read the information honestly.

"In order not to affect your rest time, I will try to read some important parts within an hour."

"No, I like to hear it all..."

Well, Xu Luo was completely at his wits end now. He said in his mind that he was engaged in academic research and his brain circuit was different from his... and then he started to read word for word.

Time flew by while he was reading. At 4: in the evening, nearly an hour and a half had passed, but Xu Luo had not finished reading even a quarter of it.

His voice was almost hoarse from the chanting, but in the end it was the woman's words like saying she was sleepy that made him stop his "self-harming" behavior.

……

"Hmm~ Commissioner Xu, your reading is very good..."

Jiang Yao stood up from the recliner and couldn't help but stretch. She didn't notice at all that there was a "strange" man standing next to her. Miaoman's figure was almost unobstructed...

"Ahem..." Xu Luo quickly looked away and tried to cover up his embarrassment with a cough.

This girl... is quite a bit older, in every sense of the word.

He has a bad temper, he has grown taller, and other things are... much bigger.

"You are exaggerating. If you like to read the information, I can ask other female employees in the company to take my place. After all, I am not a professional."

As soon as these words came out, Dr. Jiang, who was still smiling at the corner of his mouth, suddenly became unhappy and said: "I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible. I will not talk to anyone in your company except you."

Okay... Xu Luo was completely speechless, but he soon realized that this girl was... clinging to him?

If so, why? ? ?

"Can I ask why it has to be me?"

Almost instantly, Jiang Yao replied: "We are old classmates. Compared with you, I don't trust other people.,"

"I mean why us, why should we choose 'Huaikang'? We should not be up to standard, right?"

"...I'm sorry, this is our privacy, I have no comment."

Xu Luo did not continue to ask, but said "I understand", then picked up his coat and the information in his hand to leave.

"Then you go to bed early and I'll come back tomorrow..."

Before he finished speaking, a thunderstorm suddenly came from outside the house, and the loud sound startled the two of them.

Fortunately, Xu Luo only shivered subconsciously, while Jiang Yao's whole body started to tremble, with a hint of panic in her eyes.

Xu Luo's heart softened and he glanced at her with some distress. He knew that this girl was afraid of thunder and had been afraid since she was a child.

"For your safety, I suggest you ask Dr. Yang next door to rest with you."

Jiang Yao, who had regained her composure, shook her head and said, "Yang Ling's hometown is in City B. She has returned to her hometown long ago..."

At this time, Yang Ling, who was watching a drama next door, sneezed.

It's strange, who missed me again, but it's thundering outside, do you want to go find Jiang Yao?

Forget it, let’s just sit back and watch the show...

……

Hearing this, Xu Luo fell silent and fell into an awkward situation of neither leaving nor staying.

At this moment, another lightning flashed, and Jiang Yao subconsciously covered her ears. Within a few seconds, the deafening thunder struck again, and her body trembled again.

The little girl raised her head, biting her lip with her teeth, looking pitifully at the man in front of her, as if she was about to cry in the next second.

Xu Luo's heart trembled, and she suddenly remembered that thunderstorm night in the second half of the third semester of high school. At that time, Jiang Yao also looked at him with such pitiful eyes.

No matter when or where he sees this girl showing this look, he will feel soft-hearted.

Even if...she doesn't remember him.

He glanced at her and she nodded with a blush.

Everything is done without words.

"...I'll lay the floor."

"Um...thank you."

After that, Xu Luo asked the waiter at the front desk for bamboo mats. The floors in the hotel room were covered with blankets and underfloor heating. It would be no problem to put on bamboo mats and some thick quilts to spend the night.

In the hotel at night, Xu Luo, who had worked hard all day, lay on the big floor and looked at the ceiling in a daze.

Except for the night light on the bedside, all the lights in the room were extinguished. The two of them huddled under the quilt without saying a word. The dripping raindrops outside the window passed through the clouds and fell on the night city. From time to time, they were accompanied by some Thunder and lightning.

Finally, Jiang Yao spoke: "Xu Luo..."

Xu Luo, who was about to fall asleep, was forced to turn on the phone and said speechlessly: "...What's wrong?"

Jiang Yao turned around first, then slowly climbed to the end of the bed and looked at him and said, "I can't sleep, please chat with me."

The tone was very calm, but her voice was a little trembling. How could Xu Luo, who had been with her for so long, not hear it? This girl was probably still scared, why was she even more timid than before.

In fact, he overlooked one thing. When encountering this situation before, Jiang Yao would immediately get into his quilt and wrap around him like an octopus. How could she be afraid?

"Say it, I'm listening."

Maybe it was because he was too sleepy, or maybe it was because he could express his emotions better in the dark. Xu Luo's voice was inexplicably gentle, like warm boiled water, nourishing everything inadvertently. Jiang Yao blushed in vain. She picked up the quilt between her legs and rubbed it gently, and said with some embarrassment: "I...I don't know what to say, you say..."

Xu Luo was silent for a while, and then suddenly said: "Then tell me about your life since the college entrance examination."

He wanted to know how this girl got through this period of time without him.
