Coming out of the restaurant, the two walked side by side.

Lin Li pondered the phrase "all night" and glanced at the man beside him. His time is so precious, how can he accompany her all? As for whether he had ambiguous thoughts about her, she couldn't see it at all, but felt that his face was calm and calm, and the bright moon in the sky was shining.

Xiao Huai pretended not to know her gaze, staring ahead, but his thin lips curled a little, obviously in a good mood.

After walking for a while, Lin Li tentatively said, "Have you booked a hotel tonight?" ”

"Nope."

She coughed dryly, "Where are you going to sleep?" ”

"Don't sleep anymore. I promised you that I would spend the whole night listening to your troubles and that I would do what I said. ”

The big man left his work and even sacrificed his sleep time just to listen to the complaints, Lin Li was embarrassed to agree, and hurriedly excused himself: "I'm joking, don't take it seriously." ”

She paused, her face hot: "The old bungalow is now your house...... If you don't mind, sleep here tonight? ”

He was so kind to her, she should have stayed overnight.

Xiao Huai smiled lightly: "Okay." ”

From the Western Hemisphere to the Eastern Hemisphere, she went around in a big circle, and finally she was under the same roof as him again.

Lin Li's eyelashes trembled, covering the love flowing in his eyes: "There is no men's change of clothes at home. There's a convenience store around the corner, do you need ......"

"Let's go." He took the call and led her into the convenience store.

She watched him pick out his toiletries, and it wasn't until she saw him take men's underwear off the shelves that she pulled her gaze back slightly awkwardly to the closest item to her, mints.

At the checkout, Xiao Huai asked, "Your things?" ”

Lin Li didn't react, but saw that he took a box of mints and handed it to the cashier.

She was stunned and whispered, "I don't want sugar, I want to eat chocolate." ”

The voice was soft and a little like coquettishness, and Xiao Huai's heart softened: "All tastes? ”

So for the first time, Lin Pi collected all the flavors of chocolate.

The silky and mellow taste fills the lips and teeth, and the heart is also filled with a sweet and bright feeling. She glanced at two elongated shadows on the ground, side by side, blurry and intertwined......

She smiled lightly at the long figure.

Xiao Huai saw her eyebrows crooked, and asked, "Why are you stealing fun?" ”

After being arrested, Lin Li replied lightly: "I figured out the unpleasant thing, and the depression disappeared suddenly, so I laughed." ”

Her tone was light, but he heard the clue: "There was an accident at work? ”

Lin Li finished talking about the disputes in the hospital in a few words, and then said: "The dean said that I am seriously suspected of accepting bribes, if it weren't for the fact that my father used to be the vice president and my mother used to be the director of the inpatient department, I would have been reported internally. ”

"I argued with reason, emphasizing that if the outside world knew that hospitals were using compound aminopyrine on patients at a time when the cost of treatment was high, medicine would face no less severe criticism than Merrill Lynch. Unfortunately, the dean ignored me and suspended me from work immediately. ”

Lin Li turned to face Xiao Huai as he spoke, and walked backwards with relaxed steps: "The dean is my father's old classmate, and he watched me grow up, but he would rather believe the rumors than believe me. I was angry, but when I saw you, I was relieved to remember that at least you still trusted me. ”

Xiao Huai also remembered what she said at this time, when the love was not good, she tended to cook to reward her heart, liver, spleen and stomach.

If he hadn't taken the initiative to ask, she would have kept silent and faced criticism alone. Now recalling the warm food photo and the back-and-forth interaction between him and Guan Yi under the photo, he feels that he is negligent on the one hand, and on the other hand, he feels that she is hiding a lot of things.

He asked, "Is this the only thing that makes you unhappy?" ”

Lin Li nodded, and then shook his head again: "I once applied to the hospital to go to Vietnam to help with medical treatment. The dean said that my medical ethics are stained, and my medical aid qualifications are pending. ”

She lowered her head and added: "Forget it, if you can't go, you can't go." ”

The medical aid came too suddenly, and it was by no means impossible. Xiao Huai asked as unemotionally as possible: "In case of a guò audit, when will you go to Vietnam?" ”

She replied in a hopeless tone: "Summer." ”

"How long?"

"Three years."

Xiao Huai frowned invisibly: "Does Guan Yi know that it is possible for you to go to Vietnam?" ”

"I didn't sue her."

"Where's my uncle and aunt?"

Lin Li opened his mouth, speechless.

Xiao Huai couldn't wait for an answer, he misunderstood, and his tone became solemn: "You didn't tell your parents about such an important matter, and you plan to leave?" ”

"No, it's not." Lin Li shook his head in a sloppy voice, "My parents passed away two years ago. ”

Xiao Huai suddenly stopped and stood in place.

Two years ago, a car accident.

Two years ago, Lin Li's parents passed away.

He went through all the details in his head, and in a short time a cruel truth came out.

The car accident two years ago caused Lin Li to lose her fiancé and her parents.

Xiao Huai was so surprised that he couldn't say a word for a long time.

No wonder she was so miserable and remorseful on the night of the oil painting exhibition that he asked if he regretted the drive, and her tears flooded like a burst. If he hadn't asked tonight, he would never have known that there was a heart full of holes hidden beneath her low-key exterior.

She was so hurt by the great change that she had no nostalgia in her heart, so she sold her house and stayed away from here.

Xiao Huai looked at her steadily, only to feel that his heart was being pulled by complicated feelings, and he felt faintly painful.

Lin Li didn't know what he was thinking, so he stopped and said to himself: "My parents have taught me since I was a child that I can't take advantage of others, and if they are still alive, they will blame me again." I remember when I was in elementary school, my tablemate stuffed a box of candy into my school bag, and my parents said that I would be punished for writing as many letters of repentance as there were as many pieces of candy as I could, and I counted three hundred and sixty-five, and I was terrified. ”

Xiao Huai's thoughts turned back and forth, and finally he sighed silently and asked cooperatively: "You have written a letter of repentance for a whole year?" ”

"I didn't write it. My grandmother said that during the Republic of China, everyone was very indifferent after receiving the gifts, not only did not allow me to write, but also invited the same table to come to the house for dinner. ”

Xiao Huai glanced at her meaningfully: "It turns out that your early love is because of Ms. Su's connivance." ”

Lin Li choked. It's just a casual conversation, but I didn't expect Xiao Huai to be perceptive and to the point, so that she had no secrets in front of him.

She nunu mouthed, silently expressing a small dissatisfaction.

Observing the subtle changes in her expression, he couldn't help but pull the person to him and asked a crucial question: "Three years is a long time, is it possible for you to change your mind?" ”

She didn't hear the overtones: "The length of time is not a problem. I don't want to give up if I can go. ”

He nodded, his face was clear, and he didn't show emotion.

At this time, Lin Li finally realized why Xiao Huai was asking so much - his focus was not on Vietnam, and if she went there, it would be difficult for the two to have a chance to meet again.

Lin Li was stunned for a few seconds, and when he spoke again, he was slightly lacking in confidence: "I have a few days of paid annual leave, sick leave, compensatory leave in a year, plus regular leave, and I should be able to squeeze out time to return to China." It's you, so busy with work, do you have time to see me? Would you like to meet me? ”

She hates long-distance relationships, but what can she do if he shows up a little late, and many things can't keep up with the changes? Whether it's work or relationships, she doesn't want to give up lightly.

Xiao Huai didn't answer immediately, but his big hand clasped the back of her head and pressed it gently, so that her cheek was against his shoulder and hugged the person.

This posture clearly went beyond the friendship between men and women, and she did not dodge, snuggling in his arms in ignorance.

Somehow, there was a feeling of trepidation in his heart, and he was ready to say goodbye in advance.

But she was wrong.

He said calmly: "I am busy with work, I can always find time to see you." Just like now, we shouldn't have seen each other, but we met again. ”

Hearing such warm words, Lin Li was surprised and delighted, and raised his head sharply: "How many times can you see me a year-"

The world stood still.

At this moment, there was no more embarrassing oolong incident: her lips touched Xiao Huai's chin very incorrectly.

If Michiko kisses openly at the annual meeting, her kiss looks like a deliberate teasing.

The soft lip flap was intimately pressed against the weakest part of his jawbone, leaving a delicate crimson and her wetness. What's even more ashamed/ashamed is that she unconsciously pursed the corners of her lips in shock, and then it turned into a "sneak attack" that was not enough, and she scored twice and sucked his chin again.

Lin Li froze.

At this moment, her eyes could not see anything superfluous, only Xiao Huai's cheeks; The ears could not hear the superfluous sound, but only Xiao Huai's breathing; My mind was empty, but there was only one thing left—

She kissed him by mistake, but she also got her wish!

At that moment, there was the sound of footsteps. She snapped back to her senses and hurriedly took a step back. He pulled her back, turning around and blocking the gaze of passers-by with his back.

The footsteps faded away, and I don't know who blew a whistle of unknown meaning, and the long street was filled with a hazy and dark atmosphere.

It wasn't until he couldn't hear the noise at all that Lin Li lifted his eyes uneasily, his gaze moved from Xiao Huai's shoulders to his collar, and then cautiously moved up, looking at his Adam's apple, his chin.

Seeing that dazzling lip gloss, she was in the mood to strangle herself, how could she look him in the eyes?

She hooked her head in embarrassment, and a strand of hair tucked behind her ear slipped silently, and at that moment, her chin was pinched with unmistakable precision by her slender hand.

She subtly felt that something was wrong with the situation, but the hand was lifted with force, and the sudden movement led her to raise her head unexpectedly and meet Xiao Huai's eyes.

Those eyes were deep and focused, with indescribable waves.

She had a vague premonition of something, but the whole person seemed to be pressed the pause button, her heartbeat and breathing were stagnant, and she looked at his face in a daze and leaned over-

He kissed the corner of her lips lightly.

The thin lips then withdrew, leaving two inches of distance between them. He looked at her closely, buried his head a little more, and kissed her again.

And this time, he took her lips in his mouth and whispered softly.

"How many times would you like to?"
