sweet kiss bitter summer

After the transition period between summer and autumn is over, the weather is starting to cool down in earnest.

The air conditioner in the office is working hard, but it is still blowing cold air untimely.

Liang Luo'an filled the thermos with hot water, put on a slightly thicker sports coat, hugged the file folder tightly to his chest as if shivering from the cold, and went to the regular departmental meeting on Monday morning trembling.

According to the usual practice, the head of the department presides over the morning meeting to sum up the work. Even for the sake of appearance, most employees still listen carefully.

But Liang Luo'an is one of the few.

In fact, objectively speaking, even if the content is boring, as the speaker, Tan Chen himself still has many conditions to attract the audience.

His voice is slightly deep, like a beach soaked by waves, with a sandy texture that is not rough. He speaks with a very pleasant rhythm, and the content is rigorous and logical, plus some personal charm blessings, The audibility of the work summary is relatively strong, and it is not such an unbearable and lengthy process.

But perhaps it is precisely because he can always hear Tan Chen's voice, or because he looks at Tan Chen too frequently without intention, Liang Luo'an feels a little cramped, and looks away from Tan Chen's direction as if at a loss. , Randomly glanced at any other place in the meeting room.

This approach has achieved remarkable results. Liang Luo'an's consciousness seems to be gradually drifting away from the space filled with the elements of Tan Chen, dazed and out of focus, and soon began to lose focus.

When the news of the company's business trip came in from his left ear and came out from his right ear, he was looking at the air vent above the central air conditioner with hatred, feeling the penetrating dryness and cold, but he had no choice but to pull his collar to At the top, the cuffs were also clenched, trying to keep the cold wind from taking advantage of it.

Twenty seconds later, Liang Luoan heard a faint beep amidst his intermittent speech, and the air conditioner stopped.

He was surprised that someone knew what was going on in his heart, so he subconsciously looked at the air conditioner switch on the wall, saw Tan Chen pressing the switch naturally, cast his gaze at him, and after a short glance, he walked back to the middle of the conference table as if nothing had happened s position.

The moment he and Tan Chen looked at each other, Liang Luoan had the illusion that he was being caught by the class teacher when he was wandering in class, and immediately lowered his head as if he had changed his mind, as if he was taking notes seriously, but in fact he just drew a few meaningless lines on the surface of the paper with a pen. of wavy lines.

His thoughts followed the lines, anxiously thinking about the off-topic of the meeting.

Turning off the air conditioner for a colleague is a piece of cake, so it shouldn't be counted that he caused Tan Chen trouble again.

"Liang Luo'an."

Team leader Chen Wu suddenly called his name.

Liang Luo'an quickly came back to his senses, and responded in a low voice, and then he was confused when he heard Team Leader Chen Wu ask him: "Can you make this arrangement?" "Ah."

Liang Luo'an rolled his eyes, and the colleagues around him looked at him one after another, but they were all expressionless, so Liang Luo'an could only say with a guilty conscience: "I... can."

He didn't realize what kind of arrangement he agreed to, but the words "no" are only qualified to say when he reaches the height of Tan Chen's position. A low-level employee like him can only obey orders.

However, no matter what kind of order was announced at the morning meeting, it was at most just a matter of work, so Liang Luo'an was not very alarmed.

After the morning meeting, Liang Luoan and a group of colleagues returned to their workstations. Li Yun came over and asked Liang Luoan: "Brother Liang, if I remember correctly, is your hometown in Fengchao City?" "Yes .”

Liang Luoan replied.

"Then the place of business trip this time is quite close to your home, so you can go home and visit your parents by the way."

Li Yun smiled, teased a little jokingly, and said: "But brother Liang, you don't seem to travel often, this time you suddenly go with Director Tan, I really don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

She seemed puzzled, but also shook her head regretfully, "It's strange, why did I arrange you to go this time?" Liang Luo'an really wanted to know what was going on.

There was too much information in Li Yun's words, Liang Luoan's eyes widened and he was stunned, trying hard to understand her words, feeling that his brain was suddenly overloaded.

Seeing that Liang Luo'an didn't respond, Li Yun dragged the chair back to the work station, and whispered as if to justify himself: "That's right, there are too many girls in our department, so it's not suitable for lonely men and widows to travel together."

Although what Li Yun said made sense, Liang Luo'an believed that the relationship between ex-lovers was no better than that of a lonely man and a widow.

He tossed and turned at his work station all morning and ate very little lunch. He made up his mind to go to Team Leader Chen Wu's office and knocked on the door just after the lunch break, wanting to ask if he could be dispatched by another person.

Team leader Chen Wu seemed to expect Liang Luo'an to come, and said with a smile, "Xiao Liang, it's just right, I'm looking for you."

Liang Luo'an was surprised for a moment, but soon became understanding, thinking that it was the same, such rebellious behavior would leave a very bad impression on people, and it would be more appropriate for the leader to speak up.

So Liang Luo'an stood obediently at the same spot, waiting for Team Leader Chen Wu to announce a replacement order.

But team leader Chen Wu obviously made a mistake, and stamped a leave application form on his own, which was more sloppy than the executioner who ignored human life.

He handed the form to Liang Luo'an, and told him very sweetly: "Okay, Xiao Liang, I'll take a leave of absence for you in the afternoon, go home and pack your luggage, and you have to leave in the evening, time is tight, thank you for your hard work."

Liang Luo'an opened his mouth, hesitant to speak, but Team Leader Chen Wu didn't have such delicate thoughts, he didn't notice Liang Luo'an's facial muscles moving to hide a little bit of embarrassment, the hand holding the leave form shook in mid-air Shaking, the paper made a rattling sound, urging Liang Luoan to take it over.

Well, just work, work.

Liang Luo'an hypnotized himself, said goodbye to Chen Wu politely, simply packed up the things on the workstation, took his backpack and walked out of the office building.

The black Mercedes-Benz that had already parked at the door rolled down the window, and Tan Chen's face was revealed, as if he had been waiting for a long time, just to call him: "Luan."

Tan Chen's voice was very restrained, like the sound of dead leaves falling to the ground in the autumn wind. It was so soft that it was almost inaudible, but it had a strong sense of presence.

Liang Luo'an raised his head subconsciously, and suddenly met Tan Chen's eyes, and wanted to escape, but Tan Chen called him again with some stubbornness: "Luo'an."

This time, Liang Luo'an couldn't pretend that he didn't notice it, and grabbed the shoulder strap of his backpack a little awkwardly, like an obedient student who tried to make a mistake but was caught, so he had to stop on the spot as if punished, and looked at the frame of Tan Chen. that car window.

"Time is running out, I'll see you off."

Liang Luo'an's first reaction was to refuse, but he heard Tan Chen say: "We are companions on a business trip together this time.

After leaving the company gate, it is considered as the beginning, and I need to be responsible for your safety and convenience. "

Although Tan Chen's words are always very reasonable, Liang Luo'an also has to admit that he is spineless, because the bus just passed by under his nose, and the time it would take to wait for the next bus, if it is Tan Chen's car If so, he's already home.

So Liang Luo'an let go of the hand holding the shoulder strap of the backpack, like a fish giving up struggling, showing its white belly, and slowly swam into Tan Chen's car.
