unexpected.

Wen Xi went back that night without stopping for a moment.

When Zhuang Mei went upstairs pretending to be drunk, she opened the door, and the building was already empty.

She left, but the number of bodyguards doubled, or maybe doubled, so that in the next ten days, Zhuang Mei went downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes at midnight, and felt that there were more than [-] pairs of eyes staring at the corners of the streets and alleys at night. looking at her.

Zhuang Mei didn't know what Wen Xi wanted to do, she waited for her to give her an answer.

At noon ten days later, Zhuang Mei was chatting with Agel, the newly hired secretary of Zhao Huilin, when she received a text message on her cell phone——

[The air ticket for the afternoon of the day after tomorrow has been booked, you can go back to the headquarters, the position is undecided. 】

When Zhuang Mei saw this text message, she turned her back, and slowly opened the blinds, letting the sunlight outside the house shine into the room, onto her face, and onto the corners of her curved mouth.

When parting, Zhao Huilin was the one who was most reluctant to let go.

"Manager Zhao, send you a thousand miles away."

"Farewell..."

"Thank you for taking care of me during this time. I didn't expect to be transferred back again. Mokri is beautiful."

"I'm not as beautiful as you..."

"What did you say?"

Zhuang Mei turned her ears sideways, her face showed hesitation, and her eyes were fixed on the small airport runway outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

"I……"

Zhao Huilin blinked, "Do you really not remember your childhood?"

Zhuang Mei smiled. After thinking about it carefully, she looked at Zhao Huilin hesitantly, "I'll talk to you next time I see you."

Zhao Huilin lowered his head and pushed a silver suitcase for her, "Go in."

"Goodbye."

Zhuang Mei held her boarding pass and was about to walk forward when Zhao Huilin patted her on the shoulder again.

"?"

"I heard from my friend in the desert hotel that you stayed there for a night very late that day."

"Yeah, the car was driving, and it drove there."

Zhuang Mei frowned, and Zhao Huilin also frowned.

"Maybe in a while, I can apply to be transferred to the headquarters, and when the time comes to meet, you want to..."

"I invited you to dinner. But why did you transfer to the headquarters? There...it's more free than here. And your home is right here."

"Everybody wants a promotion and a raise."

"Then I congratulate you in advance."

Zhao Huilin opened his arms, Zhuang Mei paused, and then hugged her. Behind Zhuang Mei's invisible back, Zhao Huilin took a hair stuck to her coat.

"Goodbye."

Zhao Huilin put his left hand holding his hair into the pocket of his down jacket, smiled and waved his right hand at Zhuang Mei.

Zhuang Mei entered the waiting hall without looking back, and when she was seated, she looked towards the entrance.

Zhao Huilin stood with his back turned, not knowing what to do standing there.

After a while, Zhao Huilin turned his head to look at her again, and gestured to go first. Zhuang Mei nodded and waved to her.

Sitting in economy class, when the plane was taxiing, she thought, this might be the last time she saw Zhao Huilin.

When the plane landed with a crash, the sleeping Zhuang Mei was awakened!The stewardess in front of her smiled and told her to fasten her seat belt. Zhuang Mei opened her eyes wide and nodded dully.She turned her head and took a deep breath.

"What's wrong with you? Is there any discomfort?"

"It's okay. It's just..."

Zhuang Mei smiled politely, "I've been away on a business trip for almost a month, and I'm back again... I'm very happy. My heart is beating a little faster."

"Please relax. Welcome home."

The stewardess left, Zhuang Mei leaned back in the chair, her back was already covered in sweat, in her dream she had already returned to the city where she was imprisoned, and with the help of her younger brother, she finally left here smoothly, in the dream, She and her younger brother were reunited on the plane to celebrate, but it was a pity that the plane seemed to have been hit by something violently, and there was a loud bang... Zhuang Mei held her heart. Although she had a nightmare, she fell asleep and felt much better. She breathed a sigh of relief. The plane came to a stop.

To her surprise.

As soon as she got out of the airport, she saw Wen Xi's car parked not far away. She was wearing sunglasses and sitting in the driver's seat with a blank expression on her face.

Zhuang Mei dragged the suitcase and walked to the rear of the car.

Wen Xi didn't speak, and opened the trunk.

Zhuang Mei got in, and Wen Xi took out a bouquet of flowers from the back seat.

"give me?"

"Yeah." Under the sunglasses, Wen Xi couldn't see the slightest expression. She stepped on the accelerator, the steering wheel slid, and the car slowly got off the passenger platform.

"Did you drive here today?"

"Ah."

"The flowers are beautiful, thank you."

"Ah."

Driving out from the airport area, it didn't drive towards the main city, but drove through a fork road that deviated from it.

"Aren't we... not going back to the company?"

Wen Xi turned her head to look at the electronic calendar in the car. Following her gaze, Zhuang Mei also took a look. It turned out that today is Sunday.

"Like it?"

Wen Xi accelerated, and the scenery outside the car window moved back quickly.

"what?"

"flower."

"I like it.... This is the first time you have sent me flowers in the past five years."

"I've delivered it before, but you don't like it." Wen Xi stared straight ahead, the car quickly drove into the cool tunnel, Zhuang Mei yawned and looked sleepy.

Wen Xi lowered the armchair, took a look at Zhuang Mei, then stretched out her hand and placed it on her forehead.

"You're not sick, are you?"

"No."

Zhuang Mei held her hand and murmured, "I had a nightmare on the plane."

Wen Xi wanted to withdraw her hand, but she still let her hold it.

"What nightmare? Dreamed of your father again?"

"I dreamed that you didn't want me anymore and threw me off the plane."

There was no words in the car for a while, Wen Xi wanted to say something but didn't open his lips.

"You sleep for a while. Let's go to the suburbs for a vacation. Just bought Zhuangzi."

"Ah."

Then there was no conversation, Zhuang Mei just held Wen Xi's hand like this, until her breathing became heavy, Wen Xi gently withdrew her hand, and pulled out the blanket to cover her.

The hand that was held by Zhuang Mei just now felt a little uncomfortable when it touched the steering wheel. She opened the small compartment, took out a thin cigar, lit it and held it in her mouth, driving and smoking all the way.

I don't know whether it was drawn too quickly, or the road to Zhuangzi was too long. The car stopped outside Zhuangzi's gate after drawing the fifth one.

The servants have not yet been hired. Wu Ma arranged for a steward, an old lady. Wen Xi couldn't call out her name, so she just threw the car keys to the steward, and said to the old lady: "She is asleep. When she wakes up, you Take her in. Don't wake her up."

"Yes, Miss. I have prepared fruit tea for you. Would you like to drink it?"

"Bring me to my study."

"Miss, Madam Wu called at noon to say that my wife told you to go back for dinner tomorrow."

"Ah."

Wen Xi responded indifferently, went upstairs to the study, and dialed Wen's house.

"Hello. Who is it?"

"Wen Xi."

"Oh, miss. I'm really sweating. It's tortured to death." Wu Ma complained over there, "We have to clean up the house and the outside, so that the young master won't make a mess when he comes back. Madam didn't leave the bedroom for a week. Yes, it's a headache."

"Have a headache and let me go back to dinner?"

"You went to Kong's house last week. This week, you have to return the gift and let Yuliang come to eat at home. The invitation was sent to Kong's house early in the morning."

"Where's Wen Li?"

"Miss fell off a skateboard. Her elbows and calves were severely damaged. She almost got a plaster cast. That's right, the young master will be back tomorrow night. The whole family is having dinner."

"...I have something to do. I'll be late."

"Miss, you can't be late...but it's fine if Yuliang doesn't mind, you two discuss it. It's best to come here together."

Wen Xi pursed her lips. At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the study, and Zhuang Mei, who was sleepy, pushed the door in. She had already finished her bath and was wearing a long milky white shirt. She leaned against the door and looked at Wen Xi. .

Wen Xi also looked at Zhuang Mei who was obviously not awake.

"Miss, is there anything to pay attention to in the dishes? I made the menu, let me tell you, do you want to change it..."

Wu Ma reported the name of the dish at the other end, Wen Xi looked at Zhuang Mei, raised her eyebrows, and signaled what she was doing standing at the door.

Zhuang Mei rubbed her eyes, turned around, and left the door, but did not close the half-closed door.

She raised her hand, and the long shirt was shortened to her hips, and the soft light of the twilight shone on her two fair and slender legs.

Every time she took a step, there seemed to be a slight wind, carrying her breath, blowing into the study, and it couldn't be stopped, it got into Wen Xi's nose, eyes, ears...

The long hair swayed, like algae that had not been seen in the lake for many years.

Hidden under the shirt, the tattoos from her hands are faintly visible.

"Well...all good. These dishes are very suitable. He will like it."

"Miss, you didn't listen to me. I'm asking you what time it is. Are you and Yuliang coming back for dinner?"

Wen Xi paused for a moment, then lowered her head, stood up and said, "I'll discuss it with him. I'll talk to you later. We're all one family, so it's better to be more homely."

"Okay, okay, okay. You discuss it with him."

Wu Ma hung up the phone, and Wen Xi immediately put down the phone. She pushed open the door and strode towards the door.

"The master bedroom is over there." Wen Xi said to Zhuang Mei who was walking towards the second bedroom.

With Zhuang Mei's back facing her, Wen Xi couldn't see the expression on Zhuang Mei's face at the moment.

Zhuang Mei took a deep breath, her eyes became clear, she closed her eyes, and when she turned around, she changed into a dazed expression again, blinking her eyelashes and looking at Wen Xi.

"Go to the bedroom. Don't... stand in the hallway."

Zhuang Mei nodded, and suddenly gave Wen Xi a childlike smile.

Wen Xi took a step back, and when she frowned, Zhuang Mei ran towards her with her arms outstretched like when she was a child, with her legs wrapped around her waist, hanging firmly on her body.

He tilted his head, resting on her shoulder.

Not to speak, also, not to speak.

He just hugged her quietly and full of some kind of secret hint.

Wen Xi almost couldn't stand still, but still hugged her reluctantly, and whispered in her ear: "Come down quickly."

"If you don't come down, you won't come down."

"...Come down quickly."

"Not coming down, not coming down."

"Good... come down quickly." Wen Xi spat out the word "good" inaudibly, she turned her head sideways, covered Zhuang Mei's eyes with one hand, bit her lower lip tightly, and slowly Put it on Zhuang Mei's buttocks, and then carried her into the master bedroom just like that.
