Under the shadow

one year later

Fengluan Branch, South District, City A

'Beep...beep...beep...' The untimely vibration of the landline on the desktop interrupted Ji Huanian's action of signing at this moment, and the sharp tip of the pen drew a line on the paper. There was a hole, and the edges of the belt were all burrs.

"Say" rubbed his temples helplessly, Ji Huanian frowned and looked at the unfinished Chinese characters on the contract and the gap formed by being dragged, his tone inevitably became colder by more than one degree, we can see that we know Mr. Ji's mood at the moment bad.

"Mr. Ji, there is a lady at the front desk looking for you"

The front desk staff on the other end of the phone obviously felt the coldness in Ji Huanian's tone, and after a pause, he regained his voice, "She doesn't have an appointment, you see..."

After saying "Let her come up", the front desk staff only heard a beeping busy tone in the handset.

But what no one noticed was that when the little girl wearing sunglasses who was half leaning on the front desk table saw the helpless and frightened look on the young lady who just answered the phone, the corners of her lips curved into a nice arc.

"Mr. Ji please go up"

"Okay, thank you." The cold voice sounded, the girl took off her sunglasses, and turned her head to give her a softer smile after entering the elevator.

Don't ask why it is more gentle, because compared to Ji Huanian and her subordinates who usually have the same ice face in the company, such a slightly smiling expression can be regarded as top-level gentleness up.

Cough, well, don't look at the excited expression on the face of the young lady at the front desk.

Speaking of which, back to Ji Huanian.

'Tuk, tuk, tuk'

The familiar voice of "enter" came from the door, and the girl subconsciously raised a nice smile on her face, which was different from the politeness and alienation at the front desk. At this moment, she had already put away her indifference to outsiders, leaving behind Only gentle and well-behaved, and a touch of love that is not easy to detect.

"A Si?"

Hearing someone sitting down in front of him, Ji Huanian stopped what he was doing and looked up. A familiar face appeared in front of his eyes, making Ji Huanian's eyes a little red and his voice hoarse after he had been working hard all day. It was so magnetic that Qin Si couldn't figure out whether she did it on purpose or didn't drink the water obediently.

That's right, the one sitting in front of Ji Huanian at this moment is our "little butler" Qin Si, President Ji. How about it, isn't it both pleasant and unexpected?Do you have?Do you have?

Another year has passed by, and Qin Si's face, which was slightly immature and thin before, is now gradually beginning to have a trace of fat during the feeding of Ji Huanian and the sisters, and it is no longer the skinny little girl it was earlier. Poor look.

Now, the girl in front of him has already appeared slim and graceful without Ji Huanian's realizing it.

With a height of 175, fair and delicate skin, more delicate facial features and face, coupled with the mature and steady dress of beige windbreaker and white shirt and jeans, the appearance of an adult has already taken shape, so it is no wonder The front desk didn't recognize her for a while.

With Qin Si now, it's hard for people to associate her appearance with her age.

Who would have thought?Such a girl who is full of momentum and can almost be compared with Ji Huanian, a seasoned boss in the workplace, is a high school student who has just passed 16?

Seeing that Ji Huanian was a little absent-minded, Qin Si restrained his mature and stable appearance to the outside world, walked up to Ji Huanian and squatted down like a naughty child, lying on her lap and making faces at Ji Huanian mischievously For a moment, Ji Huanian felt that everything just now was an illusion, and that the cute mischievous ghost in front of him was the real Qin Si.

"Sister~sister~" Rubbing in Ji Huanian's arms slightly coquettishly, Qin Si's soft tone contained a little grievance, as if he was really accusing Ji Huanian of neglecting her "Sister, you can't help seeing me today" Stop laughing, and still be distracted! They must be making you unhappy!"

Rubbing the restless little head in his arms, Ji Huanian helplessly looked at the childish kid, and laughed, "Yeah, they made my sister unhappy, what should I do?"

Hearing the words, Qin Si immediately stood up and was about to go out, not knowing what to do, even Ji Huanian was frightened for a while and didn't have time to react.

But only a moment later, Ji Huanian, who probably guessed something, hurriedly got up and dragged the kid who was already holding the doorknob back into his arms, wondering whether to laugh or cry, "What is Ah Si going to do? Huh?"

"I'm going to discuss it with them." Turning around and wrapping his arms around Ji Huanian's waist, Qin Si innocently blinked and looked at Ji Huanian who stopped her from going out, his tone was a little unclear, so "let me They all work hard, don't make my sister unhappy."

"Children~" Hearing this, Ji Huanian didn't know whether he should cry or laugh for a moment, his own children sometimes looked more like adults than adults when they were outside, but why they were even more childish than children when they were around him, look, Now that I have become so proficient at acting cute and acting like a baby, but I still eat this kind of thing myself, really......

"Hmmm... is that sister happier now?" Pulling Ji Huanian to sit on the sofa in the reception room, Qin Si gently pressed Ji Huanian's shoulders and neck beside him , causing Ji Huanian to groan comfortably and softly, "Of course I'm happy to have Si here."

Moment speechless......

After a long time, Qin Si noticed that the breathing of the people around him was gradually steady, and he couldn't help but laugh.

It seems that I am very tired recently, sister......

Stopping the movements of his hands, Qin Si lightly placed Ji Huanian's head on his left shoulder socket, and sat up straight in order to make her sleep more comfortably.

It's not that Qin Si doesn't want Ji Huanian to lie down and sleep, it's that Ji Huanian's sleep is too shallow, and any slight movement may wake her up from her sleep, and it will take a long time to fall asleep after waking up. It's been brewing for a long time, so in order to let her sleep a little longer, Qin Si finally decided to use himself as Ji Huanian's pillow.

The sky gradually darkened, night enveloped the noisy city during the day, and everything around finally returned to calm.

The eyelids trembled slightly, and when Ji Huanian opened her eyes, she found that her eyes were pitch black, and she was subconsciously flustered, but the familiar smell of mint around her nose instantly soothed her heart, and the children were there too... .....

"Sister is awake?" A child's voice sounded above his head, with a hint of a smile in his exhaustion, which made Ji Huanian's cheeks feel hot, and he responded with a soft "hmm".

Getting up and moving his already stiff left shoulder, Qin Si went to the door and wanted to turn on the light switch, but he didn't know what to think of, and finally dropped his raised hand, and turned to turn on the small desk lamp in front of the desk.

The dim light came on instantly, although it was not as dazzling as the headlights, but it still made Ji Huanian stupefied for a while before he could get used to it.

"Going home?" Under the dim orange light, everything in the room seemed to be softened, making people feel warm and at ease. Of course, it was also because the person who asked her was called Qin Si.

"Go back!" Looking at Qin Si with a bright smile in front of him, Ji Huanian was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward to hold the child's hand, curled the corners of his lips, and a gentle smile came out, the two looked at each other and smiled, and joined hands out of the office.

The bright moonlight, the dim street lamps, and the fallen leaves fell on the sides of the two in late autumn. For a moment, it seemed that time stood still. Looking around, I couldn't see everything in the world, except you and me.
