The pressure of many parties gathered together and pressed down, Ning Xi felt a pair of invisible big hands holding her heart and constantly squeezing and contracting, and a wave of swelling pain rippled down the blood, Ning Xi's emotions reached a critical point, and she was very worried that she would say something hurtful.

In the face of Li Ti, she restrained her emotions and didn't want him to see her like this.

Li Ti stood in the dark, his eyelids half-drooping, he took out a handful of candy from the pocket of his down jacket and put it on the table in front of Ning Xi.

Slowly peel one open, feed it to Ning Xi's mouth, and open his mouth.

Ning Xi opened his mouth mechanically, holding the sweet candy, the sweet peach fragrance spread in his mouth, and even his breath emitted a faint aroma.

The peach-flavored candy is the kind he sent on WeChat, and it's really sweet. Ning Xi thought.

Li Ti said: Stop smoking. Eat sugar when you want to.

Ning Xi blinked, just a few are not enough to eat. I'm a big smoker.

Li Ti took away the cigarette and lighter she put on the table, and I'll buy it for you when I'm done.

Ning Xi suddenly felt that adults were as good as adults, at least some things were tacitly secreted and not revealed.

It's like now, Li Ti came to see her finish her meal wrapped in a cold air, and couldn't help but pull her into the rest time and forced her to lie down and sleep.

Ning Xi could have refused, but she felt distressed when she saw Li Ti's worried look on her eyebrows, and besides, she stayed up all night. The body is a little unbearable and sleepy.

Lying on the bed in the lounge, the aroma of laundry detergent from the sheets had the effect of soothing the nerves, and soon Ning Xi was exhausted and closed his eyes.

Li Ti pulled the quilt for her and adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner.

After sitting on the edge of the bed for a long time, she reached out to smooth her frowning brow, her fingertips hooked her eyebrows weakly, and then slid down and touched the tip of her nose, half of her face buried in the pillow, hot and sweaty.

Li Ti took the paper and gently wiped his sweat, who knew that as soon as he touched it, Ning Xi twisted his eyebrows, and seemed to be sleeping very unsteadily.

He wiped his sweat lightly, and pulled the quilt down a little for her so that her face would not be stuffy.

He moved a stool and sat in front of the bed, looked at Ning Xi for a while, kissed her cheek, and pasted it, and Ning Xi woke up.

Ning Xi's eyes were half-open, chaotic, she blinked until her eyes focused, and called softly: Tired, you go back first.

Good. Li Ti answered.

Before leaving, Li Ti touched her eyelashes and asked her what she wanted to eat tomorrow.

Ning Xi was half-asleep and half-awake, unable to distinguish between reality and dreams, some people wanted to drag her into the mire, and some people spread a light for you and stretched out a hand.

She struggled to reach that hand.

Li Ti threw the lunch box into the trash, stood in the thick of the night, took out his mobile phone and turned out a number.

He stood still and dialed the number, quietly pressing his ear to the other side.

The phone rang for a full minute, and no one answered.

Li Ti dialed it again, and the other party answered after a few rings.

Xiao Li, is there anything wrong with this late hour? The other party's tone was warm, concerned about how he was doing recently.

After chatting a few words, Li Ti cut to the chase: Director Gao, I have some trouble here, and I may want to ask you to come forward to help.

He gave a brief account of what had happened. Of course, it also saves a lot of unnecessary details, and if it can't be done, it won't be unfavorable to Ning Xi.

After Director Gao heard this, he also sighed and said that it was not easy to do, after all, the other party is a large company, what is important is quality and integrity, and this company has also encountered this thing a few years ago, after the plagiarized designer was fired, no one in the industry dared to use it.

The main thing, of course, is that they are not bad for money. If you can't settle it with money, it's more troublesome. Director Gao sighed, I'll try my best to make an appointment for you, and what happens later depends on how they behave when they meet.

When Li Ti heard that there was room for relaxation, he thanked him repeatedly, and Director Gao asked with a smile: Who are you?

Li Ti almost blurted out his girlfriend, thinking that it was inappropriate for Ning Xi not to agree, he said: It's the person you like, the person you're chasing.

Director Gao is a person who has come over, so he naturally knows how valuable the person who can make Li Ti speak, and he is not ambiguous, and asks Li Ti to wait for his news.

After hanging up the phone, Li Ti breathed a long sigh of relief, he didn't plan to tell Ning Xi in advance before he had anything to do.

Before getting into the car, Ning Xi sent a WeChat message.

Ning: Pay attention to safety when driving.

The haze on Li Ti's face disappeared, and his eyebrows softened, and he was obviously sleepy until he lost consciousness. You have to hold on to send her a message.

Well, his ash is sweeter and sour than a peach-flavored candy.

Ning Xi slept deeply, dreamless all night, and woke up with the sun shining on the persimmon tree outside the window, and the persimmon fruit hanging on the dry branches was wrapped in a layer of brilliant golden frost.

Ning Xi couldn't come back to her senses for a while, and was stunned for a long time before remembering that she slept in the studio last night, and Li Ti kissed her on the cheek before going to bed.

She rubbed her cheeks, rolled over and got out of bed to wash.

After washing, she pushed open the doors and windows of the studio, and the smell of smoke that had been muffled all night was dispersed.

After sleeping enough, her mood was much better, the cold wind was blowing on her body, she was much more awake, sat down at the workbench and began to draw.

Just after nine o'clock, there was a knock on the door, and the door was pushed open.

Li Ti was wrapped in cold air and carried breakfast on Ning Xi's table.

2. Seafood porridge from the canteen. It's still hot. Li Ti opened the lunch box, and the aroma came out.

Ning Xi put down the pen, stretched his waist, got up and walked over to stare at the seafood porridge, his eyes were straight.

Li Ti found her very funny like this, and quipped: Why didn't I see you see me like this?

Ning Si was all about the porridge, no matter what he complained, he muttered: You can't eat it.

Li Ti choked and raised his eyebrows: How do you want to eat?

Ning Xi's sluggish brain finally reacted, and she glared at Li Ti, your speech is very wrong.

Li Ti fed her a mouthful of porridge, and Ning Sibao swallowed it in her mouth, narrowing her eyes in satisfaction.

The mood has improved a lot, the stomach has also been soothed, and it seems that enough hand is the right choice.

After serving Ning Xi for breakfast, Li Ti hurried back to the hospital to work.

At noon, I packed a small stir-fry from the canteen and sent it to Ning Xi's office to eat with her.

After getting off work at night, I went over to pick up people, forced her to go to bed on time, and after a good night kiss, my heart would be full.

Li Ti suddenly felt that his barren life suddenly had more fireworks, and everything became vivid.

Three days later, Ning Si finished the design sketch.

Li Ti received a call from Director Gao.

Director Gao said that the other party is willing to meet at the Great Wall Hotel, and Ning Xi must give enough sincerity, whether he can ask the other party to let go, it depends on this time.

Li Ti expressed his gratitude and asked Director Gao not to reveal Li Ti.

When Li Ti called, Ning Xi was taking a shower, and his mobile phone was lost in the studio, and he couldn't hear the movement at all.

Li Ti called several people but no one answered, so he simply drove straight to Ning Xi's studio.

During this time, she ate and lived here, and she was also very good at arresting people, and Ning Xi was afraid that no one would open the door for him, so she specially recorded a fingerprint lock for Li Ti.

No one was there after work. Ning Xi is as casual as at home.

There was a faint light in the studio, and Li Ti swiped his fingerprints and went upstairs.

There was a dark light in the studio, he found the lounge, the lights were on, there were a few clothes scattered on the floor, and Ning Si was not in the room.

Li Ti walked over and picked up his clothes, put them in the dirty clothes basket on the side, there was a sound of rushing water in the bathroom, he looked up, and his Adam's apple rolled down.

Ahh He called outside.

Ning Xi asked Li Ti to wait for a while, and after a long time, she pushed open the bathroom door, and the hot air came out, and she walked out wrapped in water vapor, her cheeks were red from the heat, and her eyes flashed with a faint water.

She didn't expect Li Ti to come back and wrap herself in a bathrobe, Li Ti looked over, and her eyes gradually darkened.

He turned his head away from her and asked in a reproachful tone: You wear this at night?

Ning Xi said: I have no one here, how do I know that you are coming at this time. You don't call me ahead either.

Li Ti was laughed angrily, where is your phone?

Ning Xi reached out and dialed the wet method, held the towel and rubbed it, and leaned over to touch the phone under the pillow.

Li Ti took out his mobile phone from his pocket and handed it to her, picked up the hairdryer at the bedside, pressed her on the bed to dry her hair, and threw it away.

Li Ti's fingers were slender, piercing and picking between the strands of hair, and the cold fingertips occasionally scraped the scalp, crispy and numb like small thorns piercing Ning Xi's nerves.

The soft fans were shuttling at the fingertips, Li was tired, and felt the blood gushing down, and his body was a tense bow, and with a slight pluck, it might get out of control.

Such an atmosphere made Ning Xi nervous, she grabbed the quilt under her, and was a little dizzy by the hot wind, she dragged Li Ti: Don't blow it.

Li Ti put away the hair dryer, put it in the drawer at the head of the bed, and went around to the bathroom to rinse his hands with cold water.

Ning Xi got into the quilt and sat on her legs, looked at the bathroom and asked: Why did you come here so late?

The bad thoughts couldn t be suppressed for a while, and a faint blood color appeared in li ti's ears, and he snorted, almost saying that he lost his mouth, check if you are secretly smoking.

Ning Xi said: I smoke or not, can you see it?

Can't tell. Li Ti replied truthfully.

Then you also said to check. Ning Xi flipped through her phone and muttered quietly. I didn't notice the shadow above my head at all, and I looked up to see Li Ti's smiling face.

He bent down and leaned over to touch Ning Xi's lips, so that he could check?

Ning Si froze and ...... Smoked?

Li Ti let go of her, sat on the edge of the bed, looked at her stupid and stunned and funny, rubbed her head, very well-behaved.

Ning Xi locked the quilt tightly, buried half of her face in the pillow, and said in a muffled voice: I'm going to sleep, you should leave quickly.

After a while, the source of the burning sight beside the bed did not disappear, Ning Xi's face was flushed, and the sweat on his forehead was so hot that he couldn't do it, and he lifted the quilt just to bump into Li Ti's smiling gaze, and was stunned for a few seconds.

Li Ti leaned over and clasped her, enclosing her in the small space between her chest and the bed. Li Ti's fingers brushed Ning Xi's hair, and his fingertips ran across the hot skin. Slowly down, stopping on his eyelids, Ning Xi lowered his eyelids, his eyelashes trembled, and scratched Li Ti's heart like a small brush.

He felt that he couldn't get better tonight.

Ning Xi suddenly felt that his eyes were dark, and his vision was covered by Li Ti's palm, and he suddenly fell into pitch black. Ning Xi wanted to see, but he couldn't see anything, so he could only count his ears and listen, and he couldn't hear anything except Li Ti's breathing.

Suddenly, she felt that Li Ti was very close, and her voice often drilled in her ears, don't let me go tonight, okay?

Ning Xi's eyelids twitched, and her heart was smashed to pieces.

Ning Xi didn't answer. Li Ti didn't let go, and when the time was up, Ning Si thought that Li Ti was going to give up in disappointment.

Li Ti let go of his hand, leaned his head down, buried his head between Ning Xi's neck, and pressed it tightly.

Ning Xi's heart contracted violently, and the unfamiliar feeling hit her heart, she reached out and touched Li Ti's arm, and whispered: I'...... I'm sorry.

Li Ti pinched her waist, took her into his arms and pressed her tightly with himself, and said in a low voice: I don't force you.

It was late at night, Ning Si didn't drive Li Ti away, Ning Si slept in bed. Li Ti spent the night on the sofa and left in a hurry the next morning.

When he went out, Li Ti happened to bump into Xu Dui.

Xu Du stared at Li Ti with a gloomy face, eager to stare a hole in him.

Li Ti was also a little surprised to see Xu Dui, and regretted it even more, he shouldn't have come out so early, and he couldn't let Xu Dui harass Ning Xi.

Xu Du asked him: Why are you here?

Li Ti said: You also came to find Ning Xi so early, you must know that Ah Si lives in the studio these days. What do you say I'm doing here.

Xu Dui's face changed suddenly, he didn't dare to think so, Li Ti had to force him to accept it.

He heard that Ah Si had been in trouble in the studio recently, so he came over to ask if he wanted to help, and he picked it early in the morning. He admitted that seeing Li Ti come out of the studio, it was like a knife against his bones, ripping off the piece of flesh on the tip of his heart, leaving a hole in the flesh.

You live together? He couldn't accept it, so he had to change the euphemism.

Li Ti said: What do you say?

Xu Dui's face suddenly turned dead white, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably, and he held his fingers, trying to hide his emotions on the verge of collapse.

I don't think your face is good. Li Ti took out his mobile phone and called Li Chuchu and asked her to come and pick up Xu Dui.

I don't need to. Xu Du gritted his teeth and said.

Li Ti said: As you go, you have been very close to Qu Ang recently, not only because you are brothers, right?

Xu Du didn't have time to panic for a moment, interrupting Li Ti's guess: Of course it's because of my brother, otherwise what do you think?

Li Ti smiled and didn't speak.

I don't care what happens between you and Qu Ang. Li Ti squinted his eyes, don't touch my girlfriend.

Xu Du laughed angrily, your girlfriend? Li Ti, that's the woman I played with.

Li Ti's eyes were a little angry, and he was so cold that he looked at Xu Dui like a knife, and waved his clenched fist over, Xu Dui's cheekbones ached, and he took several steps back.

Xu Du suddenly turned around and shouted into the air: Ah, I was wrong. Shall I kneel for you? He tugged at a cloud of air, as if he was really going to kneel.

Li Ti stared at Xu Dui fiercely, Xu Dui, your heart palpitations and hands are shaking, you can't control your emotions, and you have auditory hallucinations from time to time, are you sick?

Xu Du heard Li Ti's voice. The picture in front of me is gone, there is no Ah Si at all, there is no one. He was flustered, for the first time in a long time, this was the case.

Xu Du didn't dare to move, Li Ti directly dialed Qu Ang's phone, and Qu Ang asked Li Ti to see that Xu Du would come over immediately.

When Li Ti looked at Xu Du again, there was only sympathy in his eyes.

*

Ning Xi sat at her desk, took a deep breath, and sent the design drawings that she had checked countless times to the client.

She didn't ask the other party to withdraw the lawsuit, she just wanted to save a little face.

Time flew forward, Ning Xi felt that every second passed very worriedly, and if the other party didn't reply to the message for a minute, her tense expression didn't dare to relax.

Half an hour passed. None of the customers gave a message.

Ning Xi still mustered up the courage and called the person in charge, Mr. Su, ready to be scolded by the other party.

Who knew that the other party picked up the phone and said: Tomorrow night, the Shanhaiguan private room of the Great Wall Hotel, this is your last chance.

Ning Xi was stunned when she heard it, as if she was stunned by the good news, she held her mobile phone and cried with joy, thank you Mr. Su, thank you Mr. Su for giving us this opportunity, I will definitely perform well tomorrow.

Hanging up the phone, Ning Xi seemed to be drained of strength and slumped in the chair.

So many days, not in vain.

Ning Xi shared the good news with Li Ti for the first time, and Li Ti said gently: It's all our good luck.

The next evening.

Ning Si took the design drawings to the Great Wall Hotel.

There were almost a dozen people at the table, most of whom Ning Xi didn't know. Chen Yue is mainly responsible for docking with the studio, Su Qingbai is the vice president, that is, something happened, he was staring, the whole cooperation was finalized, and he met Su Qingbai once on the day of the signing.

Ning Xi pushed open the door, more than a dozen pairs of eyes looked at her in unison, she stood at the door cramped and uneasy, and greeted her with a stiff smile.

Ning Xi saw Su Qingbai at a glance in the crowd, she nodded her head and walked towards him quickly.

Someone ridiculed Su Qingbai, Mr. Su. You have a secretary with you for dinner, huh?

Su Qingbai smiled indifferently, the main design of the customer company, there was a little problem, and it happened to meet here.

The others laughed and said nothing, after all, this kind of thing is seen through and not said, Su Qingbai doesn't admit it, no one dares him to force him.

Ning Xi handed over the finished design drawings to Su Qingbai and Cheng Yue, Cheng Yue didn't have a good impression of the studio, and he didn't want to see it because of plagiarism, so he flipped through the design drawings casually. Su Qingbai put the design on the table and looked at Ning Si.

Su Qingbai is a noble person, and his gestures reveal the elegance and gentleman of an adult man, like a constant temperature of 55 degrees in water, but he is not bored, but he is smiling on the surface. but the eyes that look at people are cold.

He looked at Ning Si like this, Ning Si was already at a loss, and when he saw it, he was even more embarrassed. She has already heard all kinds of rumors about Su Qingbai, what is ruthless, she will repay her,

It will especially torture subordinates, and it will make people frightened anyway.

Does Miss Ning drink alcohol? Su Qingbai looked at Ning Xi from head to toe.

Since he asked, Ning Xi knew that he would definitely not be able to escape, so he said generously: If you can drink a little, the amount of alcohol will definitely not be comparable to Mr. Su.

Su Qingbai smiled, asked the waiter to put on the cup, and filled Ning Xi with a glass of red wine.

I heard that Mr. Ning likes to taste wine the most, and I don't know if Miss Su is willing to appreciate my bottle of Burgundy. Su Qingbai's eyes motioned for Ning Si to pour wine.

If he refused, it would be equivalent to giving up this opportunity, Ning Si took it with a smile, and the wine glass was heavy.

Ning Si took a sip, and Su Qingbai asked Ning Si to toast everyone present, back and forth, those people also wanted to get Ning Si drunk, and Ning Si drank three glasses in one go.

Su Qingbai was wearing a gray vest on the outside and a white shirt on the inside, he unbuttoned the vest, rolled up the cuffs and put them on the back of the chair casually, and watched Ning Xi and everyone drink for a long time, the expression on his face was always faint.

Drink a circle. Ning Xi put down the cup and said to Su Qingbai with a smile: Mr. Su, I rushed to a plan overnight, and you can give me three minutes enough.

Su Qingbai frowned slightly, looked at Ning Si and said, "Go ahead and drink."

The three words are like glass marbles smashing on the cold table. Ning Si was a little dizzy when he drank, but Su Qingbai didn't drink a drop of wine, and he was calm and terrible.

Ning Xi shuddered suddenly, she grabbed the red wine that had just been filled, and raised her glass to Su Qingbai: Mr. Su, I salute you with this glass.

Su Qingbai didn't respond, just glanced at Ning Si and watched her pour a glass of red wine.

The cup just put it down. The cup was filled again.

Ning Xi was very anxious, she could drink, Su Qingbai wanted her to drink as much as she wanted, but her only worry was that she would be drunk and have no food to explain the design concept.

Su Qingbai didn't have this concern at all, he just wanted to see how much Ning Xi could drink to show the sincerity of his apology.

After a few more drinks, Ning Xi's brain was a little dizzy, she leaned on the table, and whispered to Su Qingbai: Mr. Su, please take a look at my design.

She didn't know if Su Qingbai looked at it in the end, or if she was not satisfied, anyway, when she raised her head, the waiter came in with a tray of wine.

put them on the table one by one, and suddenly someone coaxed.

The shadow in front of Ning Xi's eyes flickered, she blinked, and when her eyes were focused, she saw what was in front of her, and frowned.

Bomb wine?

Nightclubs can only play, how can they appear here.

The waiter arranged the wine glasses in turn, and each glass of wine was placed on top of a small wine glass, which was filled with another wine, and the first quilt was touched, and the wine in the small wine glass was mixed into a large wine glass, and the two spirits were fused into one, and the aftermath was great.

Ning Si looked at Su Qingbai, he looked at Ning Si with a faint expression, Miss Ning wants to try?

Su Qingbai invisibly put pressure on Ning Xi, and everyone present could see that some people wondered why Su Qingbai wanted to catch a little girl.

And the little girl is obviously not the one he likes, and naturally she is not the person who follows her, she plays so hard, and she doesn't know what the little girl did to offend Su Qingbai.

Ning Xi knew that Su Qingbai was resolute, and if she didn't face the battle, she wouldn't be able to let him go.

Ning Xi held her stomach, feeling uncomfortable churning inside, she said categorically: Drink.

Ning Xi poured three cups, it was really uncomfortable, Su Qingbai's eyes flashed with surprise, he picked up Ning Xi's design and flipped it up, his frowning eyebrows gradually stretched as the page flipped.

Ning Xi's mind was like paste, her stomach was burning, and her throat hurt, she stood up with her support on the table, sorry, I'll go to the bathroom.

Ning Xi ran out crookedly, and Su Qingbai summoned the waitress and said: Go follow her.

Chen Yue was a little puzzled, and leaned over to ask Su Qingbai: Mr. Su, let Miss Ning drink so much tonight, will you not agree to withdraw the lawsuit?

Su Qingbai's eyes stayed on the design, I have to say that she was very spiritual and amazing, and said in a calm voice: It doesn't matter how much she drinks whether she withdraws the lawsuit or not.

Chen Yue secretly said something to the old fox in his heart.

Su Qingbai said again: What I value is sincerity.

What is it that he sent a plagiarized work last time, he didn't come to knock on it, and he really didn't take their group seriously. If you didn't find out at the time. Just put it out, whose face is lost.

Ning Xi was soft on the ground, she couldn't get up, everything in front of her eyes was shaking, she lay on the toilet and vomited two more rounds, she could only rejoice that the toilet in the high-end hotel was relatively clean.

Ning Si didn't have the strength to go back to the private room, the waiter came over to help, Ning Si walked back with his last breath, almost planted in front of Su Qingbai, hung his head and said: Mr. Su, I'm sorry. What happened before, we didn't do it right.

Su Qingbai glanced at Ning Si, who couldn't stand. He said: I'll talk about this tomorrow, you go back first.

Ning Si shook her body and almost fainted, she wanted to drink it anyway, even if she was splashing and rolling, she had to get Su Qingbai to agree, and if she lost her face, she would lose it at a time.

She planted her head on the table in front of Su Qingbai, and looked at him sideways: Mr. Su, I want you to say a word. One word.

Su Qingbai didn't know why Ning Xi was so stubborn, drunk and thinking about apologizing.

In the end, Su Qingbai was entangled impatiently and relieved: I will bring the design draft to the company for a meeting tomorrow.

Ning Xi didn't know that he went out like this, and he didn't know how to sit by the fountain and blow the cold wind, and his nose was red. The wind was very cold and patted on the body, and it couldn't blow away the smell of wine.

She staggered, ready to fall into the fountain at any moment.

When Li Ti got out of the car, he happened to see such a scene, his eyes were stinged, and he quickly ran to Ning Xi, and his palm dragged her chin down.

Ahh He smelled the smell of alcohol all over his body.

Ning Xi raised his head, bent his eyes and threw himself into his arms, rubbing his neck, tired, you are here.
