"Eh, Sister Kobayashi. Zhao Qingran was packing up his things and preparing to go out, when he saw Lin Xiao coming out of the room, he looked her up and down, and asked with some curiosity, "Why did you get up so early today?"

Lin Xiao got off work late, no matter how stable his work and rest were, he needed enough sleep to ensure his mental state. So if you don't have anything particularly important the next day, and you leave work on time the day before, you won't get up until around the morning. Zhao Qingran glanced at the time, and it was only eight o'clock now.

"Did I disturb you?" Zhao Qingran finished speaking, and a little worry and apology suddenly appeared on his face.

"Nope. Lin Xiao walked to the table and poured himself a glass of water to drink, then waved his hand and said, "I have a good quality of sleep, and I've been used to it for so long, where can I be disturbed so easily, don't always be so cautious." ”

"I just woke up naturally," Lin Xiao thought for a while, and added: "Maybe I slept too well, but it was easy to wake up." ”

"It's also possible that it's hot now, and if the curtains in the house are not drawn, it will be easy to wake up if there is too much light, not to mention that you still have floor-to-ceiling windows over there. When Zhao Qingran said this, he couldn't help but start chattering: "Have you not paid attention to it before, the curtains in the house are really not good enough." In a little while, I guess you'll be woken up at seven o'clock. ”

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then his expression returned to his naturalness, and said to Zhao Qingran with a smile: "Then I studied and researched before, you should go to work first." Is there anyone who still wants to come for an interview today, I heard Huang Lu say yesterday that I specially asked you to come over early to check it. ”

Brother Lu asked me to come over early, don't let the other party wait too long. Zhao Qingran glanced down at the time, and didn't care about continuing to talk about anything else, so he hurriedly ran out with his bag like a small whirlwind.

"The whole studio is in a hurry. Lin Xiao smiled helplessly and shook his head, turned around and went back to the house.

After Zhao Qingran mentioned it, she began to notice the curtains in the room. Now that the sky outside is completely bright, although the curtains have been drawn tightly enough, there is still a lot of light letting in. It was already very early in June, and the sun was creeping up outside, and the light inside the house was not far behind.

Lin Xiao lay on the bed for a while, but he couldn't fall asleep anymore.

Since talking to Huang Lu that day, she hasn't slept well in the past few days.

The matter of Fantes's recruitment has been put on the agenda in full swing. The spare sample room was converted into a design office to serve as a workstation for Zhao Qingran and the new designer. After the customer service and after-sales delivery personnel are successively on duty, it is estimated that the space in the workplace will also be compressed to a certain extent.

When a new person is coming, things on my body suddenly become a lot easier, and in the past two days, there has been a relaxed and lively atmosphere in the studio. Busy planning and dividing labor, busy renovating and laying out houses with quite limited conditions......

At this time, Fantes had a noticeable growth atmosphere.

The NEW/STEP of the year seems to have come to this point, but Huang Lu has not been bound by the past things, and is still moving forward unswervingly.

This is something that Lin Xiao can't catch up with.

At least, for now.

Lin Xiao put the book on his face and fell asleep again unconsciously.

The WeChat voice of the mobile phone rang crisply, and Lin Xiao gradually woke up from the chaotic consciousness, but he was a little too lazy to move. I don't know how long it has been, the WeChat voice has sounded again, this time the movement is much louder than just now, and it is very continuous, you don't have to think about it, it must be the group of people from Fantes who have started to work, I don't know what to talk about in the group.

Unexpectedly, the energy that was too lazy to move quietly dissipated. Lin Xiao stretched out his hand and touched it on the coffee table, took the phone and clicked on it to take a look.

Sure enough, Fantes's group chat was a lively scene.

Qin Yueyue: It's really not easy, the sales in the distant mountains have finally stabilized, and Brother Xu has the money to invite us to dinner again.

Xu Yuanhang: Okay, isn't it just that you have just changed from a poor state to another kind of poverty, it's okay. In two days, there will be a little more people, and I will have a treat.

Lin Fang: Brother Xu is still cheerful and atmospheric, unlike some landlords, who have finished squeezing us, and no one is gone.

Xie Yiyi: yes, where did Brother Lu go? Why didn't I see him all morning?

Chen Su: I saw him go out and ask him just now, saying that he was going for a ride.

Immediately, the screen was filled with a list of contempt and disgust memes.

Lin Xiao quit the group chat and returned to the main page, and the earliest message was sent by Huang Lu.

Huang Lu: Your curtains are not good?

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, this Zhao Qingran, the ability to ventilate the news is really first-class.

Lin Xiao: How do you know?

Huang Lu admitted quite generously: No, I still pay her regularly every month, and I have never defaulted once, and I am still a very reliable master.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but be happy, and then the phone rang, and it turned out to be Huang Lu who called directly.

"Up?"

Huang Lu's voice came out of the earpiece, probably chewing gum, and his voice sounded a little slurred. Lin Xiao's mind instantly appeared with the other party's uninhibited appearance, and when she didn't even notice it, the smile on the corner of her mouth unconsciously began to spread around.

The depression and entanglement that was originally pressed in his heart also disappeared in this instant.

"I didn't get up, I was still lying down. Lin Xiao was quite calm, lying on the pillow and looking at the ceiling above his head, and said, "I was still half-asleep, but your phone call directly woke me up." ”

"Yes, yes. Huang Lu was also happy and said, "I told me about my eyeliner, she was awake when she went out, and I chatted with her for a while." ”

"Then I might be able to go back to sleep. ”

"It's not like all of you can reply to the message, I guess I should have almost woken up before I called. Huang Lu said as a matter of course.

Lin Xiao let the flush silently climb up his neck and cheeks, and finally spread to the back of his ear bones.

Since Huang Lu frankly told her about his new intentions that day, there has been no particularly close interaction, and sometimes Lin Xiao can't help but be in a trance, and begins to suspect that what the other party said that day may not mean what he imagined.

But outside of work, Huang Lu seems to be a different person, and he always expresses his feelings very frankly.

Afraid of interruption, afraid of worrying, will be happy, but also entangled.

The frankness and sincerity caught Lin Xiao off guard.

"Okay, if you don't wake up now, you have to wake up. Lin Xiao pretended to be helpless and said.

"Forget it, I won't embarrass you. Huang Lu also followed suit, and said, "You send me the size of your window and the photo of your current curtains." ”

"What is it for?" Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and said, "You won't buy curtains for me, right?" ”

She asked quite directly, and it was obvious that Huang Lu didn't mean to hide it, so she nodded generously and admitted: "I didn't have anything to do today, I walked around the office twice, and I was busy flying one by one, but I didn't have anything to do." I reckon if I walk around there two more times, I'm sure I'll be suspicious. I happened to hear Zhao Qingran say that there is a problem with your curtains, so I thought it was okay to go to the fabric market to shop, and by the way, I went to see if there were any curtains suitable for you. ”

"Of course, I didn't force it. Before Lin Xiao could say anything, Huang Lu took the lead in explaining, saying, "I'll look for it according to your current style first, if there is anything more similar." If so, I'll take a photo or video for you to see. ”

"You're not too troublesome. Lin Xiao said softly.

"What's the trouble here, anyway, I'm going to go shopping, and I see a little bit of everything. After speaking, Huang Lucai slowed down his voice again, and said with some hesitation: "Or, you still think it's troublesome." ”

"No, there isn't. ”

Immediately, neither of them continued to speak, so quiet that they could hear each other's breathing on the other end of the earpiece.

Lin Xiao got up and opened the curtains, and the sunlight outside suddenly poured in. The whole person was bathed in warm light, which made people soften for no reason.

"Why don't you ......" Lin Xiao looked at the bright sun outside, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and said, "Why don't you go together." ”

"Okay. Huang Lu also laughed and said, "Then I'll come and pick you up now." ”

"How long will it take, I should be just right after I wash. ”

"I don't think so, I might be there in ten minutes. ”

"Why is it so fast?" Lin Xiao was a little puzzled, and asked casually while walking to wash his hands: "You're not in the studio?"

After speaking, he immediately became vigilant: "Are you driving now?" At the end, his voice unconsciously rose a lot, and the whole person suddenly became nervous.

After Chen Niannian's incident, Lin Xiao not only had an instinctive fear of driving, but also very strictly required the people around him to abide by the etiquette and rules of driving.

As soon as Huang Lu heard her tone, he knew where she was going, and immediately explained comfortingly: "Since I received your news, I have found a place to park the car and call you." ”

"Oh, that's fine. After the nervousness, Lin Xiao couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and his emotions just now seemed to have become a little faster.

"It's not that it's okay to stay over there, so I came directly to the city, but I didn't expect to be able to pick you up by mistake. ”

I don't know what kind of accident it had to be to make a detour from the work side just to the city.

"That's quite a coincidence. ”

"It's a coincidence. After Huang Lu finished speaking, he immediately laughed, as if he had figured out something, his tone relaxed, and said: "My first reaction was to come to you to go shopping together, so I drove over directly." ”

"You know I'm going to go out with you, what if I don't?"

"Then I'll go shopping alone, what's here? ”

"You're kind of open-minded. ”

"Well, I can't think of it, I'm too vulnerable. Then you," Huang Lu paused, and then continued: "Now that you know, do you want to go shopping together?"

"Of course. ”

This time, it was Huang Lu's turn to be at a loss.

Lin Xiao raised his head and looked at the overwhelming sunshine outside, and the warmth also surged at this time, and his heart softened into a piece.
