Although he had known Xu Yinuo for several years, it was the first time that Lin Xigu had really stepped into the door of his house.

The very simple decoration style, mainly black and white, is a typical Xu Yinuo-style aesthetic style, and his Land Rover, simple but atmospheric.

“Lolita。”

Xu Yinuo had just changed his shoes and sat down, when Lin Xigu saw a white Bichon dog scurrying at his feet.

"Lolita, come on, daddy hug one." Xu Yinuo bent down and clapped his hands, and it jumped into the crook of his arm very obediently, and rubbed on Xu Yinuo's face.

"I just adopted it a few days ago, my friend's dog forgot to be ligated and gave birth to seven puppies, I asked for one that I was going to give to Xiaoxiao as a birthday gift, but I didn't expect to be disgusted by her, so I had to raise it myself." Xu Yinuo held Lolita in his arms and played with its fluff for a while.

“Lolita？” Lin Xigu also learned from Xu Yinuo's appearance to call it.

Sure enough, Lolita turned her head to look at her, and two black grape-like eyes searched Lin Xigu's face before jumping on top of her.

"It's not afraid of life, Brother Yinuo, it's so cute." Lin Xigu touched Lolita's head and said in surprise.

"yes, it looks like this guy likes you a lot, if you like it, I'll give it to you." Xu Yinuo looked at the person and dog in front of him, his expression soft.

Lin Xigu only lowered his head and teased the puppy, but he couldn't see his doting eyes at the moment.

"Still don't." Although Lin Xigu can't put down Lolita, after all, it is something that Xu Yinuo wants to give to Xu Yiqiu, it is not appropriate for her to take it away, and Lin Donglai is allergic to animal hair, she can't even wear clothes with rabbit fur in winter, let alone such a living dog, and there is no place to raise it if she brings it back.

Xu Yinuo naturally knew about Lin Donglai's allergies, so he just said to Lin Xigu, "Then you can often come to see it in the future." ”

Lin Xigu nodded, Lolita arched in his arms like a ball of marshmallows at the moment, and the more Lin Xigu looked at it, the more he felt that it was too cute.

Xu Yinuo looked at the time and saw that it was only 3:15, and it was still a long time before the time to eat, so he took Lin Xigu into his study, and asked her to sort out the interview manuscript just now, and then turn it in, while he stayed aside and read.

Lin Xigu was sorting out quickly, but the notebook was not very powerful, and she ran out of power, so she wanted to ask Xu Yinuo if she had a charger, but before she could open her head, she was attracted by the figure by the window.

The quiet years are the only word in Lin Xigu's mind that can be used to describe such a scene.

Xu Yinuo was sitting on the bay window very casually at the moment, leaning against the window frame with his back, the book wrapped in brown paper was placed on his slender thigh, and the other leg was half-bent over his arm, his eyes were focused. Fragments of sunlight scattered on Xu Yinuo's body through the glass, as if every pore on his face could be clearly seen.

Lolita seemed to be asleep, her head resting on one of Xu Yinuo's feet, and her belly fell together with regular breathing, Lin Xigu was a little distracted, and she couldn't move her eyes for a while.

The warning sound of the low battery of the "Di" notebook broke the silence, and Xu Yinuo, who was reading attentively by the window, was also obviously alarmed by this abrupt sound.

"Is there no power?" Xu Yinuo threw the book on the windowsill and looked at Consultant Linxi, who had not had time to come back to his senses.

Lin Xigu nodded awkwardly and said, "Hmm." ”

Xu Yinuo was going to jump down to get the charger for her, but with a slight movement, Lolita rolled over and lay on his feet.

"There's no way, you can only get it yourself, it should be on the bedside table in my bedroom, if not, you can look through the drawer below." Xu Yinuo glanced at Lolita, who was sleeping soundly, and said helplessly to Lin Xigu.

Lin Xigu looked for the bedside table according to what Xu Yinuo said and didn't find it, so he opened the drawer he said, and sure enough, the charger was lying there well.

Lin Xigu took out the charger and was just about to leave but saw a white envelope, with a photo pressed underneath, although only a corner was exposed, Lin Xigu still recognized it at a glance, the girl in the photo smiled skillfully, surrounded by bright fireworks, it was the photo of the four of them spending Chinese New Year's Eve together in the suburbs that year, and the girl in the photo was Lin Xigu herself, she didn't even know that Xu Yinuo took a photo at that time.

Lin Xigu carefully pulled out the photo, and when she saw the familiar handwriting on the back, her heart beat strongly.

“mydeargirl。”

He said she was his deargirl.

"Did you find it?" Xu Yinuo's voice came from the study next door.

Lin Xigu hurriedly put the photo back in its place and adjusted his breathing before walking out of the room. Just cautiously, she still made a very low-level mistake, and she just put the photo upside down in a hurry, but it was completely unknown.

"On the bedside table." Xu Yinuo looked at the charger she was holding in her hand and said.

"Hmm." Lin Xigu nodded, she lied again.

In the next time, Lin Xigu couldn't calm down anymore to sort out his report, and his eyes always drifted to Xu Yinuo, who was still reading a book not far away, intentionally or unintentionally. She had an impulse, she really wanted to ask Xu Yinuo what she thought, and when she thought that maybe it wasn't her wishful thinking, Lin Xigu was inexplicably excited, but thinking about what he said before, and that girl, Lin Xigu felt like she had been poured cold water.

When it was time for dinner, Xu Yinuo booked a restaurant, and the two drove to their destination.

Lin Xigu finally couldn't hold it back, and decided to ask for clarification with the mentality of breaking the kettle.

"Brother Yinuo." Lin Xigu called him.

"Hmm." Xu Yinuo held the steering wheel in his hand and only answered her.

Lin Xigu said with some difficulty, "There is something, I want to ask you, ......... you"

Lin Xigu was about to say the main point when he was interrupted by Xu Yinuo's mobile phone ringtone.

"Xiaoxi, help me hand over the Bluetooth." When he got in the car, Xu Yinuo didn't expect to make such a short call, and there would be a phone call.

Lin Xigu flipped out the bluetooth, pressed the button for him and put it on, the temperature difference between day and night in April was quite large, and now they were open the car window again, and Xu Yinuo's ears were cold.

The phone call ended in less than two minutes, but Lin Xigu saw that Xu Yinuo's expression became a little solemn.

"Xiaoxi, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat dinner today, I'll invite you another day." As soon as he hung up the phone, Xu Yinuo said to Lin Xigu.

"It's okay, if there's anything urgent, you can go, it's important, we can eat dinner anytime." Lin Xigu smiled and said to him, in fact, the courage that Lin Xigu had so hard mustered up had been completely leaked after the phone call just now, so even if Xu Yinuo was free now, she didn't have the courage to ask again.

Xu Yinuo didn't say anything more, turned around the car, and sent Lin Xigu home first.

"Did something happen?" Lin Xigu saw some clues from his serious demeanor, "Is there something wrong with the research institute?" ”

Xu Yinuo nodded and said, "Recently, the data of a research project was leaked, and the chief asked me to go back as soon as possible to understand the situation." "How so?" Lin Xigu wondered in her heart, she knew that the research of Xu Yinuo's institute was completely transparent, just like the last cooperation case with R University, but most of them were military secrets, and the staff involved had also signed a confidentiality agreement, and once the news leaked out, all the relevant personnel had to be suspended for investigation.

Xu Yinuo's brows were deeply locked, and he looked unhappy, probably thinking about what went wrong, and he didn't talk much along the way, despite this, after sending Lin Xigu to the downstairs of the apartment, he still remembered that Lin Xigu was night blind, and kept turning on the headlights until she entered the corridor and turned on the lights before driving away.
