The balcony garden is decorated in a minimalist style, with marble walls, mahogany floors, and a south-facing transparent glass canopy.

The closest place to the sun is a crooked layer of pebbles of different shapes, on which large and small potted plants are placed, red, green, purple, yellow, low branches grow wantonly and vigorously.

A black chair faces forward, allowing you to sit and bask in the sun once in a while.

It was getting darker and darker, and even the outline of the sun could not be found.

Ye Zhaojue pressed the switch of the ceiling light, the light was warm yellow, he half-squatted next to an emerald green Brazilian keel, and continued to ask very patiently: "It doesn't matter if you come back late and don't have time to take care of it, the soil is slightly dry and then watered too much, the roots are easy to rot." ”

He turned his head to look over as he spoke, Ningxia was sitting in the chair yawning, squinting sleepily, he suddenly looked back, and Ningxia's half-covered mouth froze.

His deep, deep eyes stared at her thoughtfully.

Ningxia hurriedly sat upright, afraid that he would not believe it, so he specially emphasized: "I'm listening, you said that the roots will rot if you irrigate too much, and then what?" ”

She held her thighs with both hands, pressed her abdomen up, and leaned forward with her upper body, like a curious baby studying diligently, and her round eyes showed that she was very serious.

"Sleepy?" Ye Zhaojue.

“…… Well, there's a little bit. She raised her chin, "You go ahead and leave me alone." ”

Ye Zhaojue got up, "Forget it, you go back and rest early." ”

Well, there's no need to be so accommodating, she's a little embarrassed.

She shook her head, "It's okay, you say, I'll listen to it." ”

She made a solemn demeanor, but in the next second, her heart couldn't help jumping, he ...... Came over.

Ningxia immediately sat up straight, her back pressed against the chair, and for some reason, she was nervous.

It's an inexplicable tension, and my chest is unconsciously tightened.

She defines it as a subconscious alert to the approach of dangerous people, an instinct that she has developed over the years.

But when did he become a dangerous person?

Ningxia watched in a daze as he approached and stood in front of him. He was already tall, and when she sat still like this, it made him even more erect, and she could only raise her face high.

"What's wrong?" She asked with a smile.

He didn't answer, but leaned down slightly, his hands still in his pockets.

Ningxia only felt that his chest was getting tighter and tighter, and his head was vigilantly hiding back.

"Hey!"

She couldn't help it, raised her voice to stop it, and then popped out a word in righteous indignation, and saw him frown slightly, "Often stay up late?" He politely stopped, not approaching.

Belch?

Ningxia's face was full of astonishment.

His gentle eyes fell under her eyes, and he noted, "The bags under the eyes are heavy. ”

Ningxia slowed down half a beat: "...... Oh, because sometimes I work early and don't get enough sleep. ”

She lowered her head and touched it, avoiding his unblinking gaze.

"That's the case...... "I heard Xiaofan say that you are very good at making cakes." ”

Can you stop staring at her all the time......

Ning Xia forced a smile calmly, "It depends on the reference, if you compare it with her, you are indeed very good at it." ”

"How do you compare it to me?"

“…… Can you make cakes? She looked up again in surprise.

"No, it won't." A relaxed and casual tone.

Won't compare anything with you!

Before the words could be blurted out, Ningxia was glued by his smiling gaze, dark and dark, and crashed straight into her heart unsuspectingly, and her poor little heart trembled uncontrollably.

He looked at her, his back straightened, "Wait for me." Then the man went around the chairs and out of the balcony garden.

Ningxia turned his head to look for him, but unfortunately he walked through the living room in a few steps, and the person disappeared.

She was a little confused, and sat in confusion, remembering Fang Cai, and her face quietly burned.

Is she overthinking?

Uh, it should be......

She spit on her suspicions, and pulled the ball of yarn in her heart in a mess, but she couldn't find the thread.

He was bored, and he came back, holding a pot of hydroponic pothos in his hand, the leaves were emerald and verdant, and the layers were distinct.

He nodded at the large and small potted plants on the pebbles with his eyes, "Those can take time to take care of them, this will bother you more, pothos has high requirements for water quality, and you need to change the water frequently." ”

Ningxia got up and took it and said, "You don't need to bring it back, I'll just come here once a day." ”

"I'm afraid not." He seemed to have some trouble.

"Why?" Ningxia didn't understand.

"I'm too tired to come over, I've only been out for five days, and I can only change the water once in the middle of the pothos." The corners of his mouth tilted slightly.

Ningxia suddenly felt that the hydroponic pothos in his hand had become heavy.

Well...... Can she understand that this is a kind of thoughtfulness in disguise?

Suddenly, the irrepressible feeling jumped up again.

***

Although I am tired when I come home from work every day, I am not so tired that I don't have the energy to water a flower.

She will change the water frequently, take care of the potted plants in the balcony garden, and of course, she will try her best to take care of another entrusted matter.

briefly explained Xu Zhengze's recent situation to Lu Xiao, "...... That's the case, his mind doesn't seem to be in the bakery at the moment. ”

Lu Xiao said on the phone: "That's right, the hotel's recent decline in West Point performance must have something to do with his laxity!" ”

"Declining performance?" Ningxia was taken aback.

Speaking of this, Lu Xiao was furious, "Not only West Point, the turnover of the entire catering department is plummeting." And in housekeeping, occupancy fell by at least 6 percentage points year-on-year. If it goes on like this, the hotel will have to drink the northwest wind! ”

Ningxia Mo.

Lu Xiao thought about it and temporarily changed his decision, "You don't have to study Xu Zhengze's preferences anymore, if the performance of West Point continues in this state, I will also fire him if you say anything!" ”

"...... "Miss, what are you thinking about when you woo and exclude for a while......

Ningxia sighed silently.

Jiang Yiran complained a lot about her behavior of watering flowers for outsiders every day, he had planted spices for so many years, she ignored it, and now she turned her elbow outward!

"Ningxia, I can tell you, that guy definitely has a problem asking you to help with this!"

"What could be the problem?" Ningxia was changing the water for the pothos, and he didn't have the leisure to listen to his nonsense.

Jiang Yiran's mind was active, "He used to be able to find someone to take care of him when he went far away, why did he find you this time?" ”

Ningxia thought very simply, "We didn't have a good relationship before, but now we are friends." ”

"Oh, friend." He sneered, "Are you lying to me or to yourself?" ”

Ningxia's heart was shocked.

Her face did not change, she screwed on the faucet, carefully put the pothos back into the water, and then held it and put it back in her room. When you come down again, just open the door and go out.

Jiang Yiran said seemingly casually: "Where are you going?" ”

Ningxia turned his head, with a look of "you are asking knowingly", "On the other side." ”

"Stubborn!"

Ye Zhaojue sent the access code to her mobile phone before leaving, and at her request, left a note for her reference.

Ningxia served each potted plant according to the content of the note, and dragged the floor easily.

Twisting her body a few times, she sat down in a black chair and looked out at the soft moonlight.

The moonlight is like water, quietly spreading in this vibrant scene indoors, and in the face of them, Ningxia's heart is surprisingly peaceful.

His eyelids closed little by little, and he unconsciously tilted his head and fell asleep.

In the dimness, it seemed that someone opened the door and walked in, and then a series of footsteps ...... getting closer and closer.
