The lightness of the world of mortals

A slight electrical sound came from the buzzer, indicating that Chen Xilin had switched on the intercom.

"Mr. Chen..." Jiang Ruojing's voice passed over, "It's me, Jessica."

"Is there... what's the matter?" Chen Xilin's voice was still flat.

Jiang Ruojing lowered his head and said nothing more.The sound of electricity disappeared, she waited for a while, the door opened, and Chen Xilin stood in front of her.

As soon as the rain stopped, Jiang Ruojing was still wet all over.

"Jessica... how do you... know my address?"

Jiang Ruojing looked up at her, a little at a loss.

"You'll get sick if you do this... I'll take you home." Chen Xilin said, turning around to get the key.

But Jiang Ruojing grabbed her, Chen Xilin was a little stunned, and there was a trace of wariness in his eyes.Jiang Ruojing quickly let her go, "I'm sorry... President Chen..."

"What happened?"

"I... can I go in and talk?"

Chen Xilin hesitated for a moment, and let her into the room.Jiang Ruojing also knew that he was wet all over, so he just stood there, very reserved.

"Let me get you some preventive medicine first." Chen Xilin didn't leave immediately after speaking, fearing that she would hold her back again, "Sit down."

Jiang Ruojing looked at the sofa and shook his head.

When the medicine was brought, Jiang Ruojing started to sneeze, it seemed that it was too late to take precautions.She swallowed the medicine, knelt down slowly, and cried, "Mr. Chen..."

Chen Xilin hesitated, bent down, and put his hand on her hair lightly. The cold touch made her feel startled, and when she touched it again, her hair was so wet that water could come out, "You can't do this, go take a hot bath , put on some dry clothes for you."

"Mr. Chen...will you fire me...?"

Chen Xilin frowned, "Let's deal with it first and then we can talk." Then he led her to the bathroom in the guest room.

She found a new set of underwear and her own thick clothes, put them in the bathroom, helped her adjust the spray, and prepared the towels and hair dryer, "I'll do it after washing and warming up."

The sound of water came from the bathroom, Chen Xilin went to dial Mingyu.

The phone was vibrating in the bag at the entrance, and Ming Yue was lying on the cold carpet in the room, desperately pulling himself out of the abyss. Five years ago, the doctor warned him not to be stimulated again.She closed her eyes. At this moment, she could only use her powerful reason to control herself, so as not to let the chaos strike again.

Chen Xilin made a call with both domestic and American cell phones, but no one answered. He raised his hand to check the time, and it was only nine o'clock, thinking that the other party might be busy, so he stopped bothering.

She walked to the terrace, the smiles and smiles here earlier had cooled down, and the trace of fragrance left in the air proved that Yu had been here before.She sat on the chair on the terrace, wondering if she wanted to see the magnificent and beautiful river view when booking the terrace by the river, or did she like the intimate and exquisite atmosphere?If it's the former, she doesn't have it here.

She stared at the lights outside the terrace, and did not move for a long time.There were footsteps behind her, and she seemed to wake up. Turning her head, Jiang Ruojing was standing in the door wearing her thick sweater and home pants.

"Come sit down." She turned around.

Jiang Ruojing walked into the terrace and walked to the table. She was stunned for a familiar scent, Ming Yu had been here before.

Chen Xilin turned to look at her, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing..." Jiang Ruojing was dazed, "Thank you, Mr. Chen... Thank you, Mr. Chen for taking me in... Will you fire me?"

"See what it is for."

Jiang Ruojing froze, unable to answer.

Chen Xilin looked at her, and then turned his head to look back at the lights outside the terrace, "There are only two reasons for me to fire a person: one, he didn't do his job well; two, he broke the law."

The red sky finally turned black, so dark that people lost their minds.

"Did you get the answer you wanted?"

"……Um……"

Chen Xilin turned on the phone, but Ming Yu didn't return her call.

"How are you feeling? Need...Kent to pick you up?"

"No, no," Jiang Ruojing shook his head and thought for a while, "Yu doesn't like me dating Kent."

A layer of paper was torn, and Chen Xilin was forced to look at the scenery on the other side of the paper.

"Beyond her... angry with me..."

Chen Xilin lowered his head and touched the phone, then put it down again, "What does she want from you?"

A painful smile floated on the corner of Jiang Ruojing's lips, "Come as soon as you call, and go as soon as you wave."

Chen Xilin frowned slightly in the dark.

"Who told me to be infatuated with her, I am so infatuated with her," Jiang Ruojing whispered, "Is there any way for me not to be infatuated with her?"

"This is...the second thing you asked me for?"

"...I'm sorry, Mr. Chen."

"Don't be sorry, but I can't give any advice on personal matters. Jessica, don't forget the mission on your shoulders and mine."

Jiang Ruojing raised his head, and after a while, "Yes, I know."

"The Pentagon's bidding - a $100 billion contract, nothing is more important. My mission is to get the white whale to win the bid, and everything else will take a back seat. AI cloud technology is a product that is strictly restricted for export in the US EAR, you It's the Chinese, let you touch it, Moby Dick takes a big risk, we produce assembly parts in China, I take a big risk, I hope you can understand."

"I see."

Chen Xilin stood up, and for a moment, Jiang Ruojing had some hallucinations, breathed in the fragrance of Mingyue's body, raised her face to look at the woman who was about the same size as Mingyue in the dark light, and heard the words that were similar to Mingyue's, she began to miss her Now, thinking of the slap she gave her not long ago, she doesn't want to have anything to do with herself anymore, right?She was so sad that she shed tears.

Chen Xilin saw something flickering on Jiang Ruojing's face with the light, and she walked to her side, "Jessica, I'll take you home."

Jiang Ruojing knelt down and cried in embarrassment.

Chen Xilin bent down to caress the top of her head, then turned around and handed her the tissue, which inadvertently touched her cheek, burning her hand.

She pulled Jiang Ruojing into the house, and looked at the light, her face was already flushed red.

"Is there anyone in your family?"

Jiang Ruojing froze for a moment, then shook his head until his brain hurt.

Chen Xilin turned around, "I'll take a thermometer and measure it for you. If it's serious, you need to go to the hospital."

The temperature was measured, it was 39 degrees, and Jiang Ruojing said it was fine.

Chen Xilin picked up the phone again, but Ming Yu still didn't respond at all. She sighed, "You stay here temporarily tonight, and I'll get you two antipyretics. If you don't feel better tomorrow, go to the hospital."

She went to get the medicine, and as she walked, she thought, maybe this is the real purpose of Jiang Ruojing's intrusion tonight.

When Mingyu woke up, she was still lying on the carpet, and the room was pitch black. She closed her eyes again, but felt cold all over. She struggled to sit up, and looked at the clock beside the bed, it was past three o'clock.

Calm down, a lot calmer, she is glad that she did not end up in the abyss of losing control.Staggering to her feet, she touched the doorknob in the dark and walked out. The corner lamp was on in the living room. She found the medicine box, poured herself a glass of water, and put the effervescent tablets in it.

Tomorrow... who is the date tomorrow?She tried to think back, oh, the medical insurance company wants to talk further... What about the package?Where's the phone?She searched the rooms one by one, and finally found them in the hallway.There are three missed calls on the mobile phone, one is Chen Xilin's China number, which she saved during dinner, one is her American number, and the other is Kent.

She wanted to send Chen Xilin a message, but sending a message at three o'clock in the morning always made people daydream, so she decided to say it in the morning.Go into the bathroom, turn on the light, God, the woman in the mirror is like a ghost, with worn eye makeup, blurred redness, she touched her face, it didn't hurt, she looked at herself coldly.

At dawn, Chen Xilin's nanny came to make breakfast.

She hardly slept that night, she dressed neatly, walked downstairs gently, and planned to go out after a few words with the nanny.

The door of the guest room was still open, Jiang Ruojing was wearing the suit he gave her, and stood timidly at the door, "Mr. Chen..."

"Morning," Chen Xilin raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "I'm going to the new district. How are you feeling?"

"Okay... better."

"That's good. You don't have to go to work today. Auntie will take care of your breakfast. If you still don't feel well at noon, you can ask her to stay for lunch, but she will leave at two o'clock in the afternoon to pick up her grandson. Today I may I will stay in the factory until midnight, so when Auntie leaves, you have to take a taxi back, okay?"

As soon as the words were finished, the auntie came out of the kitchen with a tray, looked at Jiang Ruojing, and then at Chen Xilin, "Miss Chen has guests? Have breakfast."

"I won't eat. This is Ms. Jiang. She has a fever. Take care of her." Chen Xilin explained to his aunt what he just said, and went out.

Sitting in the car, she checked her phone again, but there was still no response from Ming Yue. It was just seven o'clock, and she might not have woken up yet. Chen Xilin started the car and drove to the factory.

Ming Yue woke up somehow, and the severe headache made her frown before opening her eyes.I turned over, slowly opened my eyes, and looked at the time, it was 07:30.

She didn't fall asleep until it was dawn, so she had to get up quickly. No matter how miserable the night was, she still had to clean up and walk in the world during the day. Those who desperately wanted to pry into the story behind the glamor were just passers-by, and it was not worth telling them Show your embarrassment.

After washing and washing, her hair was still heavy. She remembered the call from Chen Xilin last night, and found her mobile phone to answer it.

After unlocking it, I received a message reminding me that it was from Jiang Ruojing.

It's a photo.

In the photo, Jiang Ruojing is wearing a casual sweater. The sweater is embroidered with the LOGO letters RRL near the heart. It seems familiar, but the place where she is sitting is not familiar, but can be recognized at a glance. It is the terrace of Chen Xilin's house. I remembered This logo was also embroidered on Chen Xilin's pink home clothes last night. On the small table on the terrace where she sat with Chen Xilin last night, there were two glasses of milk and two dishes of breakfast at the moment.

Ming Yu threw his phone against the wall with all his strength, and it was smashed into pieces in an instant.
