After saving Bai Yueguang's substitute

【Today's love temperature: 75℃】

606

Weekends are busier than I imagined.

In order to prepare for the afternoon meeting, Assistant Zao Sun ran back and forth in various departments, and I had no time to relax.

During the lunch break, it was rare for me to be free, so I put on sound-isolating headphones and prepared to take a nap.

607

Assistant Sun opened the door and came in with a anxious expression: "Mr. Jiang, is my USB drive with you?"

"Which U disk?" I took off the earphones and asked.

Assistant Sun described: "The silvery white one is about this thick. I gave it to you a few days ago."

It seems to be a little impression.

I searched for it on the table, but couldn't find it. Then I opened the drawer and looked through several places where I often put the USB flash drive.

still none.

608

Assistant Sun asked, "Is it plugged into the computer?"

I glanced at the USB port and shook my head.

"Maybe I put it at home." I said, "Are you in a hurry to use it? Can another USB drive work?"

Assistant Sun frowned: "There is a PPT and a few important documents inside, which may be used for the meeting in the afternoon."

My expression also became serious: "Is there no backup?"

"Yes." Assistant Sun said, "But it's the original version, it hasn't been modified, and the final version I modified is in the USB flash drive."

609

Assistant Sun's forehead was sweating a little, and he didn't know if he was in a hurry or ran away.

I comforted him: "Don't be in a hurry, there is still time, I'll have someone deliver the USB flash drive."

"Yeah." Assistant Sun nodded, "I'll make a copy of the original one, just in case."

610

I called home, thinking Mrs. Wang should be there.

Unexpectedly, Xu Zhinian answered the call.

I asked, "Where is Mrs. Wang?"

"Sister-in-law Wang went shopping for groceries." Xu Zhinian said, "Does Mr. Jiang have anything to do with her?"

I hesitated for a moment and asked him if he could go to the study and find a USB flash drive for me.

"It should be on the desk. If not, go to the second drawer on the right."

611

I described the appearance of the U disk to him.

He responded and hung up the phone.

A few minutes later, Xu Zhinian sent a photo on WeChat.

Zhinian: Is it this USB flash drive?

Yes I am.

612

The phone vibrates - I've turned off the ringer for an afternoon meeting.

I picked it up.

Xu Zhinian's voice rang in my ears again: "Mr. Jiang."

He said: "I found the USB flash drive you mentioned...but how can I give it to you?"

"Can I trouble you to send the USB flash drive to my company." I said, "It may be a little urgent, and I need you to leave now."

Xu Zhinian said "ah", "Are you in such a hurry?"

I said, "Well, Uncle Yang should be at home, I'll ask him to take you here."

"Okay." He paused, his voice lowered a bit, "But I might have to change my clothes first."

I laughed: "Go ahead, there is still time for you to change."

613

When I received Xu Zhinian's call again, there was still half an hour left before the meeting.

"I'm already downstairs." Xu Zhinian said.

I said, "You come to the top floor and find me."

Xu Zhinian seemed to be stunned: "The top floor?"

"Well." I said, "I'm in the innermost office, you can just come up, I've already greeted the front desk."

Xu Zhinian didn't speak for several seconds, and only a slight electric current could be heard on the phone.

I asked him strangely: "What's wrong?"

He hurriedly said, "It's okay."

Then the phone was hung up.

614

I waited in the office for a while, but I didn't see Xu Zhinian.

I feel strange.

If you took the elevator up, it should be here by now.

After waiting for a few more minutes, there was still no movement outside.

I couldn't help frowning.

The layout of the company is not complicated, so it is impossible to get lost.

Couldn't be something wrong?

615

I wondered if I should give him a call.

Maybe the elevator is out of order?

Wait... an elevator?

I suddenly thought of something, and my body shook violently.

616

The psychiatrist told me.

Xu Zhinian, he has claustrophobia!

617

My pupils shrank, and I remembered the scene when I saw him take the elevator last time.

It was time to report to the school and find the dean.

At that time with me, he was still extremely nervous and fearful.

618

I suddenly figured out a lot of things.

My office is on the top floor, the 16th floor, and his physical strength could not support him to climb up.

He can only take the elevator.

But he was afraid.

619

He is afraid of sealing tight spaces.

He is afraid of the dark.

He is afraid of elevators.

He is afraid of being alone.

620

I grabbed the internal phone on the desk and dialed the front desk: "Has Xu Zhinian come up?"

"Xu Zhinian?" The front desk was stunned for a moment before he realized, "He just waited for a long time in front of the elevator, as if he was waiting for someone. But he didn't wait, so he came up alone."

I hung up the phone abruptly and strode out of the office.

Only one sentence can be heard in the ear.

—He came up alone.

621

He's claustrophobic.

But now, he wants to take the elevator on the 16th floor alone and come to me.

622

I couldn't help but swear in the bottom of my heart.

623

He bumped into Assistant Sun when he was going out.

He froze for a moment, and followed me: "Mr. Jiang, where are you going? There is still a meeting in 20 minutes."

I ignored him and ran straight to the elevator in a daze.

When I ran to the elevator entrance, I just remembered a "ding dong".

The elevator door opened.

I rushed over.

624

Xu Zhinian huddled in the corner of the elevator, leaning his back against the wall.

His face turned pale, and his body was shaking uncontrollably.

I went over and hugged him.

Then he found that his hands and feet were cold and his heart was beating frighteningly fast.

625

"It's okay." I reassured him.

Xu Zhinian raised his head blankly in my arms, as if he hadn't reacted yet, his eyes were full of fear and guard.

His breathing was very rapid, and it rang in my ears.

I lowered my head, kissed his hair, then moved to his ear, comforting him over and over again.

626

It took a while for Xu Zhinian to recover.

His eyes slowly regained focus and fell on me: "Mr. Jiang..."

"I'm here." I said, kissing his hair again.

Only then did Xu Zhinian blush when he remembered it.

627

I brought Xu Zhinian to my office.

My office is very large, and the outside side is full of floor-to-ceiling windows, with a very wide view.

Xu Zhinian's emotions slowly recovered.

"Mr. Jiang." He took out the USB flash drive and said, "I forgot to give you this."

628

I stared at the U disk, but my heart couldn't help but get angry.

In order not to look too fierce, I turned around and poured a cup of hot water for Xu Zhinian, using this action to suppress my anger.

"Hold it." I said, "It's still a little hot to drink, so you can warm your hands first."

Xu Zhinian obediently held the cup in his hand.

629

I took the USB flash drive and asked him, "Are you claustrophobic and can't take the elevator?"

Xu Zhinian nodded: "It will be very scary."

After a pause, he added: "It would be much better if there were other people, but I waited for a long time below, but I didn't find anyone."

There was a bit of complaint in his tone, which sounded like he was being coquettish.

I thought.

It would be nice if he would really act like a baby to me.

630

I asked him: "Since you are afraid of taking the elevator, why don't you give the USB flash drive to the front desk and ask her to bring it to me."

Xu Zhinian explained: "I am afraid that there are some confidential documents inside, so I dare not hand them over to people I don't know."

I said, "Is that so?"

"Also." He glanced at me and added in a low voice, "I also want to see Mr. Jiang."

I said, "You'll see me tonight."

Xu Zhinian said, "That's different."

I asked, "What's the difference?"

Xu Zhinian said: "Now it's Mr. Jiang who I met outside the scheduled time, so every second you watch, you earn a second."

I:"……"

631

I suppressed the corners of my lips that raised unconsciously, and said, "Next time you encounter something similar, just let me go down to find you."

"Eh?" Xu Zhinian's eyes widened, "I thought Mr. Jiang was busy... Will this disturb you?"

I looked at him and said slowly, "No."

Xu Zhinian said, "Oh."

He should be too perfunctory, I was afraid he didn't take it seriously, and said seriously: "Don't be afraid of disturbing me all the time, since you are afraid of taking the elevator, you should tell me on the phone, even if I don't have time, I can let you Someone you trust will go down to see you."

Xu Zhinian nodded, and then murmured softly: "Isn't that... maybe I won't be able to see Mr. Jiang."

I said, "I hear you."

Xu Zhinian quickly straightened up and sat down, looking obedient and obedient.

But I know the stubbornness and stubbornness in his bones.

632

I said, "You were looking at me just now?"

Xu Zhinian put on an innocent expression.

I asked again: "Then you should have earned a lot today?"

Xu Zhinian blinked and smiled, "It's a super profit today."

633

He recovered quickly.

In such a short time, he returned to his usual appearance.

It seemed that the incident of the elevator had left no trace in his mind.

I couldn't help reaching out and touching his head.

634

"Mr. Jiang..." Xu Zhinian seemed to have something to say.

At this moment, Assistant Sun knocked on the door and reminded: "Boss Jiang, the meeting is about to begin."

I frowned, restraining the expression on my face.

635

"I'll leave for a while and go to a meeting." I said to Xu Zhinian, "You wait for me here."

Xu Zhinian said, "Okay."

"If you're tired, go to the bed over there and sleep for a while." I thought about it, and then said, "If you can't sit still, you can go out for a walk."

636

There is no place for entertainment in my office, and even the magazines are about finance and economics, Xu Zhinian will probably find it boring.

Before leaving, I had someone bring me hot milk and some snacks.

637

The lengthy meeting went on for a long time.

For the first time in my life, I experienced the feeling of caring, and I wished that this meeting would end sooner several times.

Fortunately, my reason allowed me to restrain this urge.

638

When I came out of the meeting room, the sky was obviously much darker.

When I went back to the office and opened the door, I found that Xu Zhinian had fallen asleep.

He was lying on the cot next to him, covered with a blanket.

I used that bed occasionally for my lunch break, and there was a financial magazine next to my pillow, perhaps for hypnosis.

He ate a little of the milk and snacks, but he didn't finish it. I don't know if it didn't suit his taste.

639

I walked to the bed and looked down at Xu Zhinian.

He was lying on his side, his back was slightly bent, and his legs shrank forward, looking very insecure.

With his eyes closed, all he could see was a bit of eyelashes, a little longer than I thought.

From this angle, he is also very good-looking.

640

I watched it for a long time and finally had to admit one thing.

Xu Zhinian was lying on my bed, covered with my blanket, smelling of me all over his body.

This fact made me extremely happy.

The author has something to say: claustrophobia is in Chapter 2's 53, and elevator related is in Chapter No.17's 477
