Chapter 17 (Three in One)

The lights in the office are all turned off, the night sky outside the window, the full moon hanging high, the stars are dotted, pure and beautiful, and the originally cool and thin air in the room has become warm.

"Don't move." Huai Jing tightened her arms and held Xu Xingxing in her arms who wanted to escape. His voice was hoarse and low, with the peculiar sexiness of hindsight.

Xu Xingxing paused, her eyes were all red. She hunched over, trying to get out of his embrace and avoid contact with him.

She blinked her eyes slightly and asked, "Didn't you already..."

"Yeah." The man responded lazily, his voice seemed to be frosted. The arm that was broken away tightened again, and Xu Xingxing was hugged into his arms again.

"I'm not wearing a condom." The man said suddenly. After he finished speaking, he put his chin on Xu Xingxing's shoulder and kissed her lips affectionately behind her ear.

Itchy behind her ears, Xu Xingxing's eyes moved, she turned her head slightly, and assured: "I will take medicine."

The woman's assurance made Huaijing's kiss come to an abrupt end. He looked up at her tense chin, and his body gradually moved away. At the same time as he left, his eyes widened, and the entire back of the woman fell into his eyes.

Her entire back was arched, like a frightened bluff kitten. She wanted to break free from his embrace and resist the intimacy with him afterwards.

He didn't care about this at all, and wrapped his arms around her, making a comeback amid her resistance. Her resistance was just a kitten's paw to him, and it didn't decide anything at all. Holding the struggling Xu Xingxing, Huaijing chuckled, with some pride after the victory. He was close to the woman's body, and in her struggle, he opened his mouth and bit her earlobe.

"Hiss..." With the cool teeth biting her, Xu Xingxing let out a soft cry, and tilted his neck back.

"That's not what I meant." He gave a deep smile, his hot breath swept in her ear, and every syllable of every word he said was like a drum hammer hitting her eardrum.

"I mean, block it for you..."

The woman in her arms froze, and Huaijing smiled again.

Xu Xingxing's mind was blank, she hurriedly held the table, lowered her head, her long hair buried her face, and her voice was inaudible.

"It can't be like this forever."

"Well." Huai Jing looked down at her cheeks that were flushed again, with a frivolous smile in her eyes. After a casual response, Huaijing reached out and took Xu Xingxing's phone. He turned on the screen, and the time on the screen showed that it was past nine o'clock.

She has been here for over an hour.

Pressing the phone again, the screen went dark, Huaijing handed the phone to Xu Xingxing and asked.

"Do you still want to ask that question?"

The man's mind jumped so much, Xu Xingxing's throat moved slightly. Since she can't move, she simply doesn't move. Bring the phone over, Xu Xingxing said softly.

"I want to ask."

When it comes to translation, the sense of focus brought by work makes Xu Xingxing less ashamed. Unlocking the phone, Xu Xingxing found the picture and pointed to the passage she didn't understand and said to Huai Jing behind her.

"here……"

"Where?" Huai Jing raised his eyes slightly, leaning lazily on the back of the chair, as if he didn't see it.

Xu Xingxing: "..."

Putting the phone back, Xu Xingkong said, "This..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the man took her hand. His hand grabbed her phone, and when he tried hard, Xu Xingkong didn't let go of the phone, and his body was pulled into the man's arms. The man put his chin on her neck, and asked with a three-point seriousness in his tone, pointing to the mobile phone in her hand.

"here?"

The man's breath instantly surrounded her, making Xu Xingxing's heart beat like a roller coaster. Her eyes stayed on the place where the man's finger was pointing, and she responded with a trembling voice.

"Um."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Xingxing reacted, and her body began to struggle to get up. The excessive intimacy between the two made her a little embarrassed, even more so than when they were in bed, and she couldn't control her heart.

The woman in her arms struggled like a kitten whose stomach was scratched. Huaijing looked at the string of German on the screen and fixed her neatly with one hand. When Xu Xingxing looked up at him, he lowered his head and warned in a deep voice.

"Don't move, Senior Huai is giving you a lecture."

The woman's eyes widened, and her body collapsed into his embrace like a puppet with a broken string.

It was ten o'clock when Xu Xingxing got home.

She walked slowly on the way from the taxi back to the apartment. The wind was very cold outside, and the street lamps and light bulbs on the road seemed to be broken and squeaked.

The dim light illuminated one side of the world and gradually elongated her shadow. Xu Xingxing walked in the night wind, the wind blew her hair, and the cool hair gradually calmed the heat on her cheeks.

She walked back to the door of the unit building, pressed the elevator, and in her mind Huaijing told her the German information, as well as what he said, messed her head up.

As soon as the elevator arrived, she walked in and pressed the floor of her own house. Seeing the numbers jump a little bit, her mood gradually calmed down.

When I got to the floor of the house, before I got to the door, I heard Mimi cry out with a "meow". She smiled, walked to the door, took out the key and opened the door.

As soon as it was opened, Mimi looked up and saw Xu Xingxing, her blue eyes looked even more dazzling under the voice-activated light.

"Meow~" Mimi welcomed her by her lap.

"I'm back." Xu Xingxing smiled and was about to squat down, but found that his back was so sore that he couldn't squat down. After hunching over and rubbing Mimi's head, she walked straight into the bathroom.

Turning on the shower in the bathroom, Xu Xingxing took off his clothes and got under the shower. The hot water fell on the body like petals. She closed her eyes and felt the temperature of the water, thinking of the lingering feeling when the two bodies were separated.

Chilled all over, Xu Xingxing opened his eyes, his eyes full of panic. She took a handful of water and poured it on her face, as if to wash off the feeling.

After taking a shower, Xu Xingxing dried his body and went to the bedroom. The lights were not turned on in the bedroom, Xu Xingxing stood at the door, and the darkness gradually filled her with the shame she had realized later.

Her sense of shame not only stemmed from the madness between her and Huai Jing in the office tonight, but also from the excitement and excitement in her heart about the madness tonight.

Xu Xingxing was a little scared because she found that her body fell in love with the excitement of being with Huaijing. Even her heart is changing.

She was being slowly changed by him. This change was what she expected at first, but when she really felt the change, she panicked. This change is full of unknowns.

What will the two of them end up with in the end?

Xu Xingxing didn't have time to think too much about this issue. She turned on the light in the bedroom, took out her mobile phone and continued to read the information. The drowsiness of the body gradually hit, Xu Xingxing just read two pages, then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Xu Xingxing woke up early the next day because he didn't finish reading the information. After cleaning up briefly, she went to the office ahead of schedule.

When the information was about to be read, colleagues from the office came one after another. As soon as Chen Wanwan clocked in, Xu Xingxing raised her head and called her.

"Wan Wan."

"Come on." Chen Wanwan threw her bag on her desk, walked quickly to Xu Xingxing's side, put her hands on her shoulders, and asked with a smile, "Why?"

"Morning." Xu Xingxing greeted with a smile, pushed the phone in front of her, and pointed to the picture above.

"This is the information of Lao Huang's office, you can help me find this place..." Xu Xingxing's finger unconsciously swiped next to the document.

"Don't you know this..." While Chen Wanwan was puzzled, her eyes moved with Xu Xingxing's fingers, and finally, she settled on the two semicircular marks.

An electric light flashed in Chen Wanwan's mind.

She frowned, took Xu Xingxing's fingers away, stared at the picture and asked, "Where do you think this is from?"

"Old Huang's office, this is his desk." Xu Xingxing said.

Chen Wanwan raised her head sharply, her originally big eyes widened even more at this time.

Xu Xingxing pursed his lips slightly, smiled and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Fuck!" Chen Wanwan shook her head and sighed, "No wonder Lao Huang and Li Miaoxue left so late these past two days..."

"Ah?" Xu Xingxing looked at Chen Wanwan in confusion.

Chen Wanwan raised her eyebrows with joy.

She posted the picture on her WeChat, then hugged Xu Xingxing, who was still confused, and said, "I'm going to find Sister Jialin. As for this...you don't understand, hehe."

Chen Wanwan smiled and ran into Yan Jialin's office.

Seeing Chen Wanwan entering Yan Jialin's office, Xu Xingxing smiled. She lowered her head and glanced at the pictures on her phone, her ears reddened slightly. Pulling up the turtleneck to cover his chin, Xu Xingxing lowered his head and continued to read the information.

She really didn't understand it before, but after last night, she understood.

But in front of Chen Wanwan, she still pretended not to understand. Chen Wanwan knew her, and if she showed that she understood these things, Chen Wanwan would definitely ask her how she knew it.

How did she know, naturally she couldn't tell Chen Wanwan.

Chen Wanwan went to Yan Jialin's office. Xu Xingxing didn't know how she did it, but she believed that she should make good use of that photo with her many years of experience in the workplace.

In the afternoon of the same day, the translation department held a departmental meeting. Huang Qiansong proposed to let Chen Wanwan replace Zhong Yujun as the next deputy minister. Except for Li Miaoxue, whose face was not very good, no one in the translation department refuted it. Since everyone had no objection, after the meeting, Chen Wanwan's proposal to be promoted to deputy minister was submitted.

Chen Wanwan is very popular in the office. This promotion is a great event. Everyone congratulated her and asked her to invite her to dinner with a smile. Chen Wanwan said yes, and after pulling away from the crowd, she hugged Xu Xingxing by her shoulders.

"Deputy Minister Chen, please have dinner." Xu Xingxing looked at her with a smile and said.

Chen Wanwan looked at Xu Xingxing with a look of gratitude in her big eyes. She knew that Xu Xingxing could not be blamed for her promotion this time. And the reason why she helped her so much was also because of her feelings for her.

It is really a blessing for her to have such a good friend in her life.

"That's necessary." Chen Wanwan hugged Xu Xingxing, swept away those cold and sad autumns in her mind, and said with a smile: "Please invite me after get off work today, and we will rest when we are drunk!"

Xu Xingxing agreed with a smile.

After the meeting in the afternoon, Xu Xingxing was called away by Yan Jialin. The last project is gradually unfolding, and their translators will continue to follow up.

Following Yan Jialin, Xu Xingxing learned a lot at work. Because she likes the German major that she likes to choose, she is also very serious and hardworking in her studies. This time, she read the information well prepared and performed very well. After the translation work was completed, she got into Yan Jialin's car, and the two returned to the company together.

Although he followed the scene twice, Xu Xingxing was still a little nervous when he was alone with Yan Jialin. Fortunately, Yan Jialin doesn't talk much, and even if she speaks, the theme is work. Xu Xingxing handled it fairly well, and the nervousness in his heart gradually eased when he arrived at the company.

"Why did you translate the paragraph about jade in the document? Have you read the book?" Yan Jialin asked.

The paragraph she brought up was exactly the one that Huaijing taught her yesterday. Yan Jialin took out this passage alone and asked, which made Xu Xingxing nervous.

Naturally, she couldn't say that Huai Jing taught her, Xu Xingxing licked his lower lip and lied to Yan Jialin.

"Ask the teacher."

Yan Jialin raised her eyes, glanced at Xu Xingxing, and did not ask any further questions.

The car parked in the underground garage, Yan Jialin parked the car and said to Xu Xingxing, who was unbuckling the seat belt in the co-pilot.

"There is a project to follow in Tianwen City. You can go with me. It is expected to stay for three days, so prepare your luggage in advance."

IO Group entertains customers not only in Xiacheng, but also in surrounding cities. Wencheng is an ancient city with a strong cultural atmosphere. More importantly, there is a well-known Maobai Hot Spring in the depths of Maobai Mountain on the outskirts of Wencheng.

The scenery there is beautiful and elegant, and the charm is strong. It is a good place to receive foreign guests.

Yan Jialin is a loner. She seldom appoints people to follow her on business trips. Generally, she will take whoever Huang Qiansong sends. Now that he suddenly proposed to take her on a business trip, Xu Xingxing was stunned and a little flattered.

Yan Jialin took the initiative to take her on a business trip, to show that she recognized her ability, and secondly, it meant that she regarded her as her own, which meant that she would train her more in the future.

It is definitely a big step forward in the workplace to be trained by a superior with excellent work ability.

Xu Xingxing's eyes flickered, she smiled at Yan Jialin and said, "Okay, thank you Sister Jialin."

When she was about to get off work, Chen Wanwan was waiting for her. Xu Xingxing went back to pack up, and the two left the office together. Just after leaving the IO building, Chen Wanwan took a taxi and told the driver.

"Go to Jia Ting Plaza."

"Ah?" Xu Xingxing glanced at Chen Wanwan.

Chen Wanwan winked at her and said, "Old Zhan just saw a set of shops yesterday. It's on the commercial street behind Jia Ting Plaza. I'll show you first."

Chen Wanwan is worthy of being her first best friend. She treats her affairs as her own, and works very efficiently, but within a few days, she found a place.

Xu Xingxing thanked Chen Wanwan with a blank look. She smiled, and her heart gradually got a little bit of anticipation.

I remember when I was in college, there were four people in Xu Xingxing's dormitory. The boss of the dormitory at that time talked about opening a milk tea shop there after the Jia Ting Plaza was built. I make milk tea when I am busy, and I read books when I am free. I can earn not much money, just enough to spend, and my time is free.

Xu Xingxing also longed for such a life, but it was only a longing after all. The customs in Huaicheng are relatively conservative. Very few girls go to college. They will get married before they are old, and they will get a certificate when they are old. Xu Xingxing was twenty-two years old when she finished college. She was considered an "old girl". Because she married late at school, she was bitten by relatives.

Now, her vision is about to become a reality. Do what you want to do with your own money, this is the happiest time for Xu Xingxing since her divorce.

Get off the car and cross the Jiading Plaza to the commercial street behind it. This commercial street is called Heping Street, which is quite long and has been developed for seven or eight years. Jia Ting Plaza is not only a commercial plaza, but also includes single apartments and office buildings. There are many high-rise buildings around, people come and go, and the passenger flow is very large.

It was off-duty time now, and Heping Street was crowded with people. Chen Wanwan dragged Xu Xingxing to a shop in the middle of the street with great difficulty.

This shop is very small, only 1.5 meters wide. It used to sell egg waffles, but now it is abandoned there. There were people standing by the door, lining up the roast gluten and fried chicken next to them.

"Let me go." Chen Wanwan politely asked the crowd to move away, and the two walked in.

Although the door is very narrow, there is something special inside. Because the store is deep into the family square, the length inside is okay, about five meters. This place can be used as a milk tea table, and a few high chairs can be added outside.

"This is what Lao Zhan asked from a friend of a friend. The original owner of the shop owed a lot of money for gambling, and the bank chased the shop. I heard that Lao Zhan wanted it, and the friend of the friend left it first." He patted the wall and said, "Hey, the decoration here is okay, it won't take too much time to decorate."

"Okay." Xu Xingxing stood at this square inch, staring at the not-too-high ceiling, where there was still an advertisement for Egg Puff. Xu Xingxing curved his lips, thinking that he would soon have a small shop of his own, and his heart was full of satisfaction and stability.

"Since you are satisfied, then I will tell Lao Zhan to stay for you first." Chen Wanwan led Xu Xingxing out, and said as she walked, "Don't worry about the contract, you can sign it after you come back from Wencheng. ."

"It's troublesome Lao Zhan." Xu Xingxing said.

"What are you polite?" Chen Wanwan glanced at her and said boldly: "My husband is your husband, except that I can't sleep with you, you can use the rest."

After that, the two of them laughed together.

After the two finished the shop, they chatted about the university roommate opening a milk tea shop. As soon as the memories came up, they simply decided to eat at a small restaurant in the south gate of their alma mater, Xia Da. This is their dormitory, a place where they often come to have dinner.

The restaurant is not big, and there are quite a few students who come to eat at night. The two adults sat in a corner of the small restaurant. After the dishes were ready, the two of them clinked glasses with wine.

Having confirmed her promotion today, Chen Wanwan's heart has been let go. In addition, Xu Xingxing is valued by Yan Jialin, and the small shop she wants to invest in has also been settled. She is very relaxed and extremely happy now. The beer in the glass was still foaming with fine foam. Chen Wanwan drank the beer in one gulp, put the glass on the table, and said "ha" very proudly.

"This cup is to congratulate you on a bright future!"

Chen Wanwan's battle was quite large, Xu Xingxing noticed the sight around her, she put the wine to her lips and took a sip, the smell of malt beer filled her mouth, making Xu Xingxing's eyes red.

"I don't have that." Xu Xingxing said with a smile, his voice small and soft.

"Oh, don't be humble." Chen Wanwan poured another glass of beer and said, "There are more than 30 people in the translation department, and Sister Jialin has chosen you. This is the greatest affirmation to you."

A piece of fish was caught in the chopsticks, Xu Xingxing bit lightly and smiled helplessly.

"Tonight we must have a drink without getting drunk!" Chen Wanwan filled Xu Xingkong's glass.

Chen Wanwan was in a good mood, and Xu Xingxing went with her. She knew how much she could drink, and she kept the measure, and didn't drink too much. In fact, she can drink enough, but her skin is prone to redness, and it looks like she drank a lot.

The two drank for half an hour, and the topic of chatting from college to now, Chen Wanwan was already a little drunk. Her eyes were blurred, her tongue was big, she looked at Xu Xingxing with a cup in her hand, and asked, "Now that your job at IO is stable, and the store's affairs are settled, are you planning to stay in Xiacheng in the future? "

The wine in the wine glass flickered slightly, Xu Xingxing raised her eyes and looked at Chen Wanwan with a flushed cheek, she smiled first, and after drinking a sip of wine, she said, "I will definitely go back to Huai City, my mother and Xingyuan are still there. Woolen cloth."

"Then you can't spend the rest of your life with your mother and brother, right?" Chen Wanwan squinted her eyes and said, her head was a little heavy, she smirked and said, "Don't make a decision too early now, maybe you will meet in Xiacheng in the future. Is your Mr.right married to Xiacheng?"

"Huh?" Xu Xingxing was stunned for a moment, then smiled again.

Chen Wanwan still didn't give up the idea of ​​marrying her, and a string in Xu Xingxing's heart was plucked. She looked down at her friend, smiled, and drank the wine in the glass.

In Chen Wanwan's eyes, she is fine with everything, but even if she is fine with everything, how can she easily meet someone she loves. Even if they meet someone who loves each other, can their marriage really come to the end of their lives?

She and Wang Shunsheng were in love with each other at first.

For marriage, Chen Wanwan is confident because she married the right person. And Xu Xingxing was much more pessimistic than her.

Chen Wanwan was still drunk in the end, and she deserved to be drunk. Her wine is not very good, she has a pungent temperament.

Seeing Chen Wanwan lying on the table, Xu Xingxing paid the bill, helped her up, and left the door of the restaurant. Chen Wanwan just called Zhan Liangting and asked him to pick her up. Zhan Liangting said she would be there soon and asked her to wait by the side of the road.

Supporting Chen Wanwan, Xu Xingxing stood on the side of the road in front of the restaurant. Chen Wanwan was petite, but she was quite drunk when she was drunk, and Xu Xingxing struggled to support her.

The wind was a little cold at night, blowing on the cheeks that were burned by the wine, making Xu Xingxing sober a lot. She pulled up Chen Wanwan who was drunk in her arms, and also pulled up her drunken chatter.

"Starry sky, I don't want to... let you go back to... Huai City, I just want you... in Xiacheng, under my eyelids...under my eyelids. Under my... eyelids, I can protect...you, no Let others... bully you. Your whole family... be honest, that's why... Wang Shunsheng... bullied him like this. I fuck... fuck... Wang Shunsheng, my mother saw... he... kicked him out. egg!"

Xu Xingxing: "..."

There are always students coming and going, and Chen Wanwan is drunk and loud. The last sentence was even more sonorous and powerful, and for a while, there was a low laugh from the people around.

Xu Xingxing's face flushed slightly, but he didn't feel embarrassed. She looked down at Chen Wanwan, who was so drunk she couldn't open her eyes but still scolded Wang Shunsheng. Her heart felt as if she had been scalded by hot wine.

"Man..." Chen Wanwan sighed with emotion, and finally made a final decision: "There is no good thing."

After she finished her last sentence, a black Passat was parked beside the two, and a man came down from the cab, it was Zhan Liangting.

Chen Wanwan is a face control, and her husband is naturally good-looking. Zhan Liangting has thick eyebrows, big eyes, a high nose bridge, and a tall stature, exuding an honest and handsome look.

Chen Wanwan's last sentence "Men don't have a good thing" was heard by him, Zhan Liangting sighed, smiled awkwardly at Xu Xingxing, walked over helplessly, and picked up his wife.

"Why did you drink so much?" Zhan Liangting complained to Chen Wanwan.

Chen Wanwan opened her originally closed eyes when she heard Zhan Liangting's voice. She hugged Zhan Liangting's face with her hands like a child, and kissed him with an "Oops" sound.

After a kiss, the pungent Chen Wanwan instantly turned into a chick. She put her legs on Zhan Liangting's body and hugged Zhan Liangting's neck for fun.

"Husband husband... I'm promoted... hiccup... Then I... buy clothes in the future... can I spend more money?"

Chen Wanwan spends a lot of money, and Zhan Liangting manages the money at home. Zhan Liangting works in the Electric Power Bureau, and his monthly salary is half that of Chen Wanwan. Speaking of which, although Chen Wanwan and Zhan Liangting gave birth to a child, their family spending the most is to coax Chen Wanwan, and her son Zhan Jiakang didn't care at all, and pampered his mother with his father.

"Okay, okay." Zhan Liangting complained in his voice, but there was love in his eyes. He opened the car door, stuffed his wife into the co-pilot, and gave her saliva thoughtfully before putting the safety on her.

After Chen Wanwan was settled, Zhan Liangting turned around and saw Xu Xingxing blushing so badly, thinking that she had also drank a lot.

"You get in the car, I'll take you home first."

Xu Xingxing looked at the young couple, and while he was happy for Chen Wanwan, there was also a sadness and loneliness that was abused. She glanced at Chen Wanwan in the driver's seat, shook her head with a smile, and only said, "Send her home first, Wanwan has a bad stomach and drank too much..."

"Yeah, she drank too much and could vomit." Zhan Liangting frowned and said, distressed and helpless.

The rest of the words were said by Zhan Liangting, Xu Xingxing was stunned for a moment, then smiled again.

When Zhan Liangting saw that Xu Xingxing was fine, he was no longer polite. Today, his parents went back to their hometown to visit relatives, and his son was at home by himself, so he was really worried.

"Then I'll go first, Kangkang is at home." Zhan Liangting finished and added, "Kangkang said that he misses Aunt Xingxing, and he has time to come to my house to play."

When Xu Xingxing first came to Xiacheng before looking for a house, he stayed at Chen Wanwan's house for two days. Chen Wanwan's son is very cute, lively and cheerful, and very clingy.

Thinking of Zhan Jiakang, Xu Xingxing's heart softened, she nodded and said, "Okay, let's go first."

Zhan Liangting answered and got into the car. As soon as he got in the car, Chen Wanwan rushed over to hug her. Zhan Liangting first said something to her, then smiled and hugged her before driving away.

Under the street lights, the black Passat was hidden in the rolling traffic.

In the midst of the busy traffic, Xu Xingxing was all alone, looking at the passing traffic and the crowd, his body was a little cold.

She didn't go home right away. After graduation, she hadn't gone back to her alma mater for a long time. Xu Xingxing decided to go for a walk in Xia University and sober up by the way.

Xu Xingxing was very good at controlling his alcohol intake, slightly drunk but not drunk. Because she knew that if she was drunk, no one would come to take her home.

The night was cold to the bone, Xu Xingxing wrapped his windbreaker tightly, walked through the traffic, and walked into the south gate of Xia University.

It was eight o'clock in the evening, and the people entering and leaving the South Gate were all college students who had just finished their evening self-study. Xia University stipulates that freshmen must study in the evening. The freshman student this year is only eighteen or nineteen years old, and there is a ten-year age difference with her.

Revisiting the old place, things are right and wrong, Xu Xingxing looked at the immature faces, after all, did not continue to go inside. She walked to the camphor tree next to the exhibition sign next to the south gate, where there were stone piers for rest. Xu Xingxing walked over, pulled the windbreaker into his arms, then sat on the stone pier, watching the students coming and going in a daze.

If you don't get drunk after drinking, not only will you not get rid of your sorrow, but it will magnify the original sorrow countless times. Xu Xingxing supported her hands between her legs, and the cold temperature of Shi Dun gradually penetrated into her body through the clothes, eroding her body and mind like an inescapable loneliness.

Xu Xingxing raised his head, and above his head were the branches and thick leaves of the camphor tree. And in the middle of the dense leaves, there are also gaps, through those gaps, you can see the crescent moon and stars hanging high in the dark night sky.

The planet is so big, and it is only a sporadically bright spot in the universe, just like she is just a stranger in the vast sea of ​​people in Xiacheng.

The night sky was beautiful tonight, reminding Xu Xingxing of that night.

The brightly lit summer city and the starry sky in the dark night set off, the man was on her body, and there were stars in her eyes.

The vibration of the phone instantly interrupted Xu Xingxing's cranky thoughts. She regained her senses, and her cheeks, which had just been chilled by the wind, added another layer of heat.

How could she think of that night, of that person...

She must be crazy.

Taking the phone out of her pocket, Xu Xingxing saw the name jumping on the screen and the string of phone numbers under the name, and her lips closed slightly.

She remembered the first time she entered his mobile number into hers.

When he gave her his business card, she just glanced at it lightly and remembered his phone number. Because his phone number was only one digit away from the phone number she had used for four years in college.

Hers is 98, his is 88.

It is precisely because of this that she was able to refuse the business card he handed over without hesitation when she was clearly moved.

Because she knew that if she wanted to contact him, she would definitely be able to. She remembered his phone number.

The phone was still vibrating, pulling back Xu Xingxing's scattered thoughts. She shook her head, obviously not drunk, but her thoughts diverged greatly.

Xu Xingxing laughed at himself and pressed the answer. The night wind was as cool as water, Xu Xingxing opened his mouth and his teeth chattered.

"Hey."

On the mobile phone, there was a familiar "click" sound, the pen cap covered the pen, and the man ended his day's work. He could hear that Xu Xingxing was outside, pulled off his tie, and asked lightly.

"Where?"

"Xia Da." Xu Xingxing said, she lowered her head and stared at her toes, lifted up and lowered, "I had a drink with my friends."

The fingers that were tearing the tie moved for a while, and the knuckles of the fingers bent slightly. Huai Jing tore off the tie and put it on the desk in the office. The office was empty, with only a few lamps accompanying him. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and through the reflective glass window, he stared at the meteor-like traffic downstairs.

"Where's your friend?" Huai Jing asked.

"Huh?" Xu Xingxing didn't seem to understand, and after a half-beat of his mind, he said, "Her husband picked her up home."

His tongue licked his lower lip slightly, and Huaijing's eyes lit up with starlight. He reached out and unbuttoned his shirt at the neckline, his head was slightly tilted, and in the glass window, the corner of the man's lips rose, frivolous and flamboyant.

"What about you?" Huai Jing asked.

"Huh?" Xu Xingxing took another half a beat. She frowned, patted her head, and said, "I'll take a taxi home by myself, and I won't go to your place today."

"Okay." Huai Jing replied lightly, hung up the phone, took the car keys and went out the door.

The man hung up the call neatly, listening to the busy tone on the line, Xu Xingxing's cluttered mind suddenly shuddered. She put the phone in front of her and looked at the interface showing that the other party had hung up, her heart froze.

It was cold, so cold that she was a little inexplicable.

Huaijing and her were originally friends. She rejected his invitation and he hung up the phone. What was she so cold about? Don't you want him to pick her up?

Xu Xingxing smiled faintly, staring at the fallen leaves on the ground in a daze. Although it was a fallen leaf, the leaf surface was still green, and it was estimated that it could not hold the wind, so it was blown down.

Being in a daze is the best way to pass the time. Xu Xingxing was thinking about things in a mess. This was the first drink she drank after her divorce, so her memories naturally started from Wang Shunsheng. The more she thought about it, the sadder her heart became, and when another gust of wind came, she shivered and shrank her shoulders.

When she shrank her shoulders, a piece of clothing fell from the sky, and the warmth separated the cold wind. The familiar temperature and familiar taste instantly wrapped her in a world.

Xu Xingxing was stunned for a moment, she felt the original temperature on the clothes, like a small fry, burrowed into her body along her shoulders and back. This warmth is too familiar, she can feel it when she wakes up almost every night recently.

Xu Xingxing's heart throbbed, as if she was in a dream, she raised her head and met a pair of light brown eyes.

Huaijing only wore a light gray shirt and black trousers, the shirt was tied around the waist, the upper half was tall and the lower half was slender. The tall and slender body stood in the shadow of the lights at the school gate, straight and straight, blending with the night.

Because of the disparity in height, he lowered his head slightly, his side face was shadowed by the lights at the school gate, and his facial features became more and more profound. The fair complexion was particularly conspicuous in the dark shadows, and she could clearly see his raised eyebrows, the bridge of his nose, and the corners of his lips raised.

He was smiling. In the eyes of outsiders, his smile was cold and steady, gentle and elegant, but in the eyes of Xu Xingxing, his smile was frivolous and flamboyant. She met his light brown eyes and looked at the faint smile in his eyes, and she couldn't move her eyes away.

Xu Xingxing raised her eyes to look at him, and when she saw that his smile gradually deepened, her eyes trembled and she looked away. Her earlobes and cheeks gradually turned red, and she lowered her head and moved her lips slightly.

"How did you come?"

"You asked me to come." The man's voice was low, hiding in the night, adding a sense of sexiness.

When he said something inexplicable, Xu Xingxing felt anxious. After thinking about her call with him for a moment, she had no intention of letting him come.

And he always liked to tease her, Xu Xingxing retorted in a muffled voice.

"I do not have."

"No?" Huai Jing raised her tail.

His rhetorical question made Xu Xingkong's heart mention it. After thinking about it again, Xu Xingkong was full of confidence and looked up and said, "No is no."

"You said your friend was taken home by her husband." Huaijing said solemnly.

"Ah?" Xu Xingxing looked at Huaijing suspiciously, and nodded honestly, "I said that."

The corner of the man's lips pressed down, and he looked down at the woman who looked up at him, his eyes softened, and said.

"Doesn't this sentence mean 'other children have been picked up by my husband, when will my husband pick me up'?"

small theater:

Xu Xingxing: I didn't mean that at all.

Huai Shao: It doesn't matter if you don't mean it, I think it's fine if you mean it.
