There was no one in the room, only a lamp in front of the desk, a pile of materials, notepads, instant coffee, unrinsed cups, and a pile of pill boxes, a laptop on the table that was half-open and half-closed, and a faint blue light from the power supply.

Gu Heng's gaze paused when he touched the pile of pill boxes, and subconsciously turned to the bathroom with the lights on.

There was no sound of rushing water, and there was not the slightest movement, Gu Heng waited in the room for twenty minutes, until the sky was slightly bright, and Wen Yan still did not come out.

Walking to the door of the bathroom a little impatiently, Gu Heng lowered his voice: "Wen Yan? ”

There was still no movement inside.

Gu Heng screamed patiently, but still didn't wait for a response, Gu Heng's heart sank, and suddenly he felt as if something was overwhelmingly pressed down, and the person became impatient and unbearable for a moment. He pushed open the bathroom door, and in the dim light, Wen Yan soaked in the big bathtub, with his arms on the edge of the bathtub and his head resting on his arms, as if he was asleep.

Gu Heng's footsteps paused there, not knowing whether to advance or retreat, Wen Yan's face was facing him, his eyes were lightly closed, and his black hair hung down her bare shoulders, like a waterfall pouring down from a high mountain, so beautiful that people were dizzy. He looked at it blankly for a while, then raised his steps and walked over, and called her carefully, she didn't answer, he stretched out his hand, wanting to carry her out, his fingertips just touched the water in the bathtub, and couldn't help frowning, the water was completely cold, I don't know how long she had been soaking in it, her body was cold, and her nails were white.

Gu Heng casually dragged a dry bath towel, picked up Wen Yan, wrapped the bath towel tightly around her, and hugged her out one by one.

She did fall asleep, her breathing was a little wheezing, and her forehead was slightly twisted, as if even in a dream, she still had something on her mind that she couldn't solve. Gu Heng carefully put her on the bed, pulled the quilt over to cover her, took a towel and wiped her wet hair for a while, she subconsciously snorted, her voice was not loud, with a tight and suppressed nasal voice, her lips were slightly open, and her pale face revealed a little redness, Gu Heng put down the towel and reached out to probe her forehead, it was not hot, and even a little cold, it was different from ordinary people, and it belonged to Wen Yan's own slightly cool temperature. But in this way, it was impossible to tell whether she was having a fever and cold, how uncomfortable it was, he pulled up the quilt a little more, straightened her head, and gently placed it on the pillow, and he sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her quietly.

She only maintained the posture of stretching her whole body for less than half a minute, and then turned over and changed positions.

Her head moved off the pillow, her body was subconsciously half-curled, her back was bowed deeply, and her whole face was pressed against her knees, a defensive, insecure posture to hide herself carefully.

Gu Heng felt a sourness rushing up, choking in his heart so thick that he couldn't dissolve.

He hugged her curled body, let her head rest on his lap, and then held her face, his slender fingers pressed against her slightly cool skin, his thumb gently pressed her frowning brow, ironing out the folds of her forehead little by little, watching her sleep in his arms change into a comfortable position again, her face facing him, and the corners of her mouth slightly curved with satisfaction.

He looked at her, a little distracted.

Wen Yan's beauty, Gu Heng never denied it, her eyes are not big but very beautiful, crystal clear and do not hide a single flaw, the tail of the eye is slightly raised, narrow and full of wisdom, when she smiles, like a spring breeze and rain, everything grows, at that moment, even if the heart is extremely hard, it is full of softness.

Her face is very contoured, not fleshy, but every inch of skin is delicate and tough, like a tight coat on the bones, perfect to flawless. The bridge of her nose is very high, revealing a bit of awe-inspiration and arrogance from her bones, so that even if she makes a groveling gesture and nods her head to say yes, she can't be offended.

Her lips are very thin, pursed into a line, the slightly opened lip flap does not have sharp ridges and full shapes, she always feels very soft, they all say that people with thin lips are thin, sometimes, Gu Heng will feel that this sentence is used to describe Wen Yan.

Her breathing was a little heavier, and she seemed to be sleeping more deeply, Gu Heng looked at the calm face, not knowing whether to be sad or satisfied, and even he couldn't explain it. The sky was already completely bright, and the morning mist shrouded the grass and trees in the garden, as if pouring in through the window, and even there was some damp moisture in his vision, he moved Wen Yan's head back to the pillow, and then slowly stood up, looking at the clear but cold face steadily.

The room was silent, and his voice came out word by word.

Wen Yan, even if you have a little conscience, I will not be this step with you.

In two weeks, Wen Yan completed the cooperation proposal with SG ahead of schedule.

In the spacious and tidy independent office, Wen Yan put the project plan and cooperation agreement on the table in a dignified manner, and then leaned back on the chair with a relaxed posture, clasped his hands, supported his chin, and calmly looked at Yao Kai who was sitting opposite him with a thoughtful face, and chuckled a little ridiculously: "Mr. Yao, Wen Yan was rude before, and there was something offensive in his words, please forgive me." As he spoke, he gestured with his eyes to the two stacks of materials on the table, "I have prepared the proposal and the cooperation agreement, and it depends on how Mr. Yao decides." ”

Yao Kai looked at the two thick documents on the table, and also smiled: "Miss Wen is polite, Yao came here today just to cooperate with Gu's, I can't hide it, I have asked my boss about the conditions proposed by Miss Wen, he is very interested in the business plan you made before, however, our boss hopes that Miss Wen can go to the SG consortium in person with a detailed plan and cooperation agreement and sign it with him, oh yes, he still has some details on the question, I want to ask Miss Wen in person." ”

Yao Kai's tone was very polite and polite, but it seemed to be a little deliberate, biting the word "face-to-face" very hard, his expression was very strange, not only looking serious, but also revealing a strange taste of exploration.

The smile on the corner of Wen Yan's mouth suddenly rose, and the ridicule in her eyes changed without a trace, she put down the hand supporting her chin, and instead picked up a copy of Wen Jiàn on the table, flipped through it casually with some absent-mindedness, but looked away, and replied in a low voice: "Okay." ”

The car stopped in front of the giant revolving door of the SG building, Wen Yan looked at the towering SG building through the car window, the building exterior is made of transparent glass and metal, and the eyes hurt in the sun, she rubbed her eyes, touched the bag resting on her lap, took a deep breath, pushed the car door and walked down.

Standing in the magnificent, luxurious and bright lobby, Wen Yan pressed the elevator button on the upper floor.

She came here to sign a cooperation agreement at the invitation of SG's big boss Shen Mouzhi, and to complete the work assigned to her by Gu Heng. But she knew in her heart that coming here meant that she might meet that person. Maybe it's just that inadvertently, he will suddenly appear from a corner, and when he sees her, he may be surprised, he may be calm, and he may even come over and strangle her to death.

With a ding, the lit button suddenly went out, the elevator door slowly opened, and Wen Yan held the bag in his hand tightly, trying to make a smile.

It's been five years, maybe it's time to meet.

The elevator went straight to the top floor of the building, the beautiful secretary listened to Wen Yan's intention, and dialed a phone call with an internal line, the person on the other end of the phone did not speak, but the secretary seemed to understand, and walked directly to the door of an office with Wen Yan, and knocked on the door lightly twice, as soon as the door opened, the secretary retreated with interest, Wen Yan looked at a tall figure standing inside with his back to her, and his mood suddenly relaxed.

She slowed down and walked in, subconsciously lifted the Wen Jiàn bag and put it on her chest, slightly curled the corners of her lips, and showed a polite and decent smile: "Boss Shen, I'm ......"

The man turned suddenly.

He stood straight, his hands in his pockets, and did not speak, but there was a faint anger between his eyebrows, his chest rose and fell violently, and something indescribable rose wildly under his dark eyes.

Wen Yan slammed suddenly, and swallowed back before he could say a word.

Silence? How could it be him?!!

For a moment just now, he didn't recognize that person as him, yes, in five years, he seemed to be a little different from before, and his back was also the loneliness he didn't have before. Unexpectedly, he would appear in his brother's office, waiting for her to come.

Wen Yan looked at him fixedly, didn't know what to say for a while, and said, "Why are you here?" Or "Long time no see, how are you doing?" ”

Such hypocritical politeness, between her and him, is actually not needed.

So just silence. Silently waited for him to speak.

After a long time, he spoke slowly, his voice very low, somewhat depressed and hoarse.

"How long are you going to hide from me?"

After being separated for so long, his first sentence was, how long are you going to hide from me?

There was no sarcasm, no anger, a little choked in the low hoarseness, and the hearts of those who listened were sour.

Wen Yan bit his lower lip lightly and did not speak.

Shen Silent walked slowly step by step, getting closer to her little by little, the sun was behind him, and he couldn't see his face clearly. Wen Yan raised his head, his face towards the dazzling light, not dodging, nor avoiding his burning gaze, so he walked all the way to her, lowered his eyes slightly, and met her slender eyes.

Then, he accentuated: "It's been five years, where are you going to hide?" ”

Such a simple and crisp sentence, asked word by word extremely clearly, suddenly a little unbearable, Wen Yan's hands holding his chest hung down weakly, and the bag in his hand almost fell to the ground.

I have long thought that one day, people who missed each other will meet again at a certain time and place, face to face, and say that they have not seen each other for a long time, just like old friends who have been reunited after a long absence. I used to think that this moment should be joyful, or free, but I didn't expect that when it really came, my heart hurt, dense like a pinprick.

She looked at his somewhat thin face, and the circles under his eyes that were already red when she held back her tears, pressed the apologies and grievances that had accumulated in her heart, and said in a low voice: "You are thin!" ”

Shen Silence's expression froze suddenly, his eyes gradually deepened, but he couldn't say anything aggressive, just three simple words completely shattered the defense line in his heart, making all the emotions he had suppressed in his chest collapse in an instant, he looked at her fixedly, even his fingertips trembled, the blood all over his body was boiling loudly, a strong force broke through all the shackles in his heart, and this hot current burst out of his hot chest, and his tears fell.
