Chapter 54

The night sky in early winter is as elegant as chocolate, and even though small snowflakes are still falling, the cold wind blowing on your face does not feel tingling, but rather brushes your cheeks like a coquette, which is comfortable and comfortable.

Even after Christmas, the Christmas trees on the streets that have not been removed are still glowing with fluorescent lights and are adorned with bright stars. From time to time, sweet lovers gather there to take photos, perhaps because of the lively and romantic atmosphere on the streets tonight, or maybe because there is one more person by his side, Ye Xin suddenly felt that the winter night did not seem to be as quiet and desolate as usual.

Originally, I was going to drive my assistant to a friend's house, but unfortunately after agreeing, I found out that I didn't drive to work this morning. Because the child of Xinrui's family had a fever a few days ago, she parked the car directly at her house when she was sent home.

"Hey......"

"What's wrong, Minister?"

Just sighed slightly, which provoked the assistant next to him to ask with concern, which was also one of the reasons why Ye Xin was a little distressed.

"I'm old, and I don't have a good memory." A little self-deprecation, his eyes glanced at the person next to him, a little unbearable, obviously he promised to send the other party back, but this time it was good, and finally became two people walking back slowly.

It's strange to say, knowing that he didn't drive, Ye Xin took the initiative to stop a taxi, and after the assistant said that he hadn't told the specific location for a long time, the driver had no choice but to put them on the East Ring Road of Queen Street.

"It's okay, you just need to remember me, and I'll take care of the rest."

The other party muttered coldly, perhaps because of the gust of wind just now, the other party's whisper just now did not blow into Ye Xin's ears clearly, "What did you just say?" ”

"Hmm... I mean, as long as I have a good memory. ”

"Hehehe, you can't even tell the specific address, where to talk about good memory." Ye Xin teased the little assistant with a sideways look, looked at the other party's somewhat ruddy face under the street lamp, and sighed in his heart that the other party's skin is so good, and the skin that those celebrities can break when they are described on TV may be like this.

Shiri was a little aggrieved after hearing this, and tilted his umbrella slightly towards the □□, "That's because I have just returned to China, and these streets are not very familiar, but I can know how to get there after only one visit." "By the way, her memory is superb.

Ye Xin listened to the other party's sworn tone, just smiled slightly and didn't speak.

They strolled down the street, turning several bends as they approached the junction of the guarded harbour, a harbor guarded by the embankment, much lower than sea level. So on a cold winter night, the fog rising from the river has already dyed the whole street gray. It's not as lively as the old market, but it's a little deserted, and the steeped church in the distance looms in the mist.

The sudden wind through the hall made Ye Xin shrink his neck a little, "The moonlight is gone." "Just now when they were on the big street, they stepped under the shadow of the moon all the way.

"That's because the minister is here, and they're all hiding shyly."

The person behind him suddenly picked up a joke, which caused Ye Xin to be surprised for a while, isn't this ......?

"'The night is gentle, and the stars are shining. Let not the queen of the moon appear on the throne, lest the earth be devoid of light. 'Please forgive me for reading the book on your desk. ”

Ye Xin shook her head in surprise, she didn't mind, but she didn't expect Assistant Guan to look at the book of Keats's poems on her desk, and even compare herself to an embarrassing title like 'Queen of the Moon'.

"That's good."

After talking well, the other party suddenly leaned forward and approached him, Ye Xin hurriedly raised his strength to stop and stand firm, and shivered for no reason.

The sparkling dark eyes looked down at her face from about two centimeters above her head, and the gaze full of a little smile seemed to be able to penetrate the soul of the watcher, but there was no malice.

What the hell is this guy trying to do? That kind of look made Ye Xin only look up at the moon and look down at the heavy snow. When did she have to take the time to talk about the way the little assistant looked at people.

"Minister, your nose is frozen red."

“？”

After a moment of fugue on the other party, Guan Shili took off his camel-colored windbreaker and covered the other party, this is a wool coat with a fine texture, the coat is very thick, the workmanship is very fine, and the velvet lining still carries her body temperature.

Ye Xin was a little overwhelmed by this sudden move, she looked at the other party's thinly dressed body, which was nothing more than a woolen sweater.

Is this kid stupid?! immediately wanted to take it off, but the other party's hand seemed to disagree with her doing so.

"Assistant Guan, hurry up and put it on for me immediately!" Ye Xin was a little angry.

"I'm not cold at all, you see I'm wearing a lot."

With a soft and playful smile, she ignored it, and when the other party tried to drape her coat over her, she jumped to the other side with a light gait, and her leather boots formed a dent of varying shades in the snow.

"You...... You're going to freeze into a popsicle like this, and you're going to have a cold and fever tomorrow, so put it on for me right away! Ye Xin suddenly felt that the person in front of her didn't listen to her at all!

"I'm not so weak~"

I saw that the other party was resolutely avoiding himself, and his gait was light and light in the ice and snow, as if the thick snow on the ground was not a problem, such a childish behavior of "you chase me and hide" made Ye Xin a little gasped, and for the first time, she felt that the new assistant in front of her was really good......

"Put it on, or others will think I'm abusing my subordinates." Damn, how can this kid be so stubborn!

Ye Xin's face was a little wheezing and showed a flush after running, and she was a little angry that this assistant was so stubborn.

"No, the minister doesn't believe in touching me, it's super warm, it's really not cold."

Guan Shili leaned up like a little golden retriever at the moment to beg for a touch, that kind of demeanor that people couldn't bear to refuse, Ye Xin could see that if the other party had a tail, it would definitely be shaken into a propeller......

A little sympathetic to the face that slowly invaded up, which had to make itself lean back. The other party bent down slightly and looked directly at herself, her long eyelashes trembled slightly against the background of the street lamp, her face was too pale, there was no blood at all, but her lips were as red as roses, such an abrupt and bewitching feeling made Ye Xin subconsciously purse her lips. Isn't that really cold?

"Okay, I see, I'm wearing my coat, and you can't take off your scarf."

While speaking, Ye Xin tied his beige scarf around the other party's neck, and when he got started, he could obviously feel Guan Shili's body stiffen.

For a long time, Guan Shili maintained a slightly bowed posture so that the other party could tie it up, and a slightly gentle breath blew on Ye Xin's cheek, "Thank you." ”

Ye Xin suddenly felt his earlobes being blown by the warm airflow, and raised his eyes in a little panic, just falling into a deep pool of eyes. Damn, they were so close that the breath of both sides could be felt, Ye Xin felt the other party's straight gaze, such a familiar gaze made her hands stiff suddenly, and simply stopped, "Tie it yourself!" ”

Guan Shili looked at the other party and turned around, walked straight forward, a smile appeared on his lips, and he whispered, "Minister, wait for me~"

"At this rate, it is estimated that I will not be able to return home until tomorrow, and there will be one frozen corpse, no, two! Hurry up, I don't want to be on the news. Ye Xin helplessly turned his head and looked at the figure that came after him, pulled his throat and said sharply.

"Minister, you are so fierce."

“…… Have it? Raised eyebrows with great skepticism.

"But it's also very cute~" Guan Shili came up, and looked at the woman with a smile in her bright eyes.

Lovely? An adjective like cute can't be beaten in eight strokes on her...... Rolled his eyes, ignoring the other party's words that were neither big nor small, could it be that he had been talking nonsense like this for a long time abroad? Perhaps the assistant's Chinese proficiency needs to be improved. "You know the way, or you can go by yourself, I won't send it."

"How can I be, I'm afraid to walk at night." The tone of the person behind him suddenly became pitiful.

"Then you just shut up and follow me." Ye Xin regretted a little that he agreed to send the other party home, and with their stop-and-go speed, it was estimated that it would really not be until dawn.

"Oh......"

It was pronounced in a nasal voice, with a full sense of grievance and loss of being reprimanded.

Then there was only the sound of stepping on the snow along the way, and the condensed cold wind was blowing, but the coat with the smell of the other party on the shoulders added a sense of heaviness, and it was really warm. Ye Xin looked sideways and saw the little guy next to him (taller than himself) with his neck shrunk and wrapped in a scarf, looking extremely wronged, the corners of his eyes were red, and his originally white face was even more obvious.

“……”

She had always been excited, and she became silent...... Didn't you say it a little too much just now? Obviously not...... Well, seeing the other party's side face, a little more guilt pressed on the top of his head, and Ye Xin felt that every step was difficult. It's just that I don't want to waste time on the road to shut up the other party, is it possible that the little pity feels that she doesn't like her talking?

He sighed helplessly in his heart.

Near the intersection of the street, Ye Xin stopped, the church bell rang nearby, it seemed a little infiltrating in the silent night, this area is the church and pilgrims or clergy live, she rarely comes here, always feels that the sacred clean ancient streets are somewhat awe-inspiring, many years of following the Nordic style of architecture and not demolished with the development of urbanization, although she does not believe in God, but the night here is not as reassuring as the day, but it will make people a little creepy.

Looking at the statue of the Holy Son on the pale and frozen cross, Ye Xin turned around and asked the people around him, "Where should I go now?" ”

attracted the innocent look of the other party.

Ye Xin was helpless, and pulled the scarf that covered the corner of Guan Shili's mouth, "You can speak now." ”

"To the left." As if he had been pardoned, Guan Shili spoke slowly, "Minister, can I speak now?" ”

"I just wanted to hurry, we don't have to spend time on the road, the night here is not safe, I don't mean to blame you." Ye Xin walked in front, perhaps because this small alleyway did not allow two people to walk side by side, so she didn't see the sly smile of the person behind her.

"Minister, you are actually much gentler than you seem, and you always worry about others before yourself. Even if ordinary people agree to such a thing, but if this happens, many people will just send it here, after all, we haven't known each other enough days to make you bother. ”

Is a bad woman with a vixen face on the surface still a strict minister who everyone in the company fears...... Ye Xin paused when he thought of this.

Just looking at the people in front of him, he neither affirmed nor denied it, and such silence made Guan Shili feel a little shaken for no reason.

Ye Xin turned his head and saw the guy behind him raise his forehead slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

"What are you doing?"

"Ah, I suddenly remembered that there was a poet who once said, 'On a snowy day, I like to catch snow with my forehead, and it feels like being kissed by someone I like.'" Guan Shili was in a hurry to make up this reason.

“…… So you're kissing the snow right now? ”

Ye Xin looked at the simple assistant and asked with a black line on his face.

“…… Sort of. "A little embarrassed and blushing.

Immediately after, a stocky snowball smashed right in the head and smashed into his face, and Guan Shili's stunned face was covered with snow watching the sudden attack of the initiator.

"How, how does this 'French kiss' feel?" Ye Xin felt that he was also out of his mind when he asked this, looking at the other party's stunned expression, he hooked the corners of his mouth, "If you want to thank you well, don't be so awkward, cranky thinking is not suitable for you." Ye Xin raised the small snowball in his hand, a little proud, "Also, what about your agile motor nerves?" ”

Guan Shili, who was smashed by a snowball and had an ice slag face, didn't expect the minister to be so "naughty" at all, and stood completely in place, his brain crashed for a moment, "Minister, I have always respected you as a ......"

I just wanted to continue to make a speech, but I was hit again by the eyebrows...... Whispers rang from time to time in the silent white corridors, and the countless mouths lurking under the incandescent lamps quickly passed from one to ten, like prophets of uncertainty or schadenfreude. After all, after the end of this high-level meeting, I don't know which leader of the company revealed the rumors, and the minister of the development department was jointly criticized by the board of directors, and it is estimated that he will be transferred......

"You see, everybody's guessing what's going on inside."

The woman who spoke was none other than Hu Qi, the deputy minister of the first department, who was suddenly promoted to vice minister half a year ago, which was unprecedented in the company. The petite figure and harmless faces of humans and animals do not know how many male employees of the company have been attracted.

Hua Qing looked at Hu Qi who walked in front of her with a smile on her face, and remained silent.

"I want to apologize to Minister Ye."

"The minister doesn't need your apology." Hua Qing glanced at the woman in front of her coldly, and her voice did not fluctuate.

Hu Qi raised his head a little funny, and stared at this woman with the same style as Ye Xin, "OK, Igotit, Assistant Hua, oh, no, you will be Minister He's person in the future, why should you be loyal to a person who is 'dying'?" Hu Qi changed his pitiful demeanor in the past, and replaced his face with an old man who did not match his age.

"Deputy Hu has contributed a lot this time, do you have to call you other names in the future?"

Hua Qing looked at Hu Qi, who was the same as before, and responded coldly.

A smile appeared on the corner of Hu Qi's mouth and raised his eyebrows, "You mean not to let me in?" ”

"If you insist on seeing the minister, let me let me know." Hua Qing actually didn't know the bottom in her heart, if the other party insisted on seeing the minister, she didn't have any authority to stop the other party, thinking that Minister Ye's face was pale just now, and the minister's state didn't seem to be good, Hua Qing couldn't help but sweat in her heart, but the other party didn't continue to embarrass her, but flicked her collar with some concern.

"It's okay, anyway, there will be more opportunities to meet in the future," although she was curious about why Ye Xin always locked herself in the office and didn't allow any disturbances, but she didn't mean to continue to embarrass Hua Qing, "You are much more current than Mu Jia, don't stand in the wrong line this time, look at those ...... Sometimes it is necessary to turn the other cheeks at the right time. Hua Qing followed Hu Qi's gaze and saw that several new employees not far away were going to the personnel department to discuss, and their anxious expressions revealed that they were not willing to stay under this 'checkmate' minister, pure rational egoism abounded here, and her own loyalty was also really vulnerable, and she did not have the courage to continue to stay with Minister Ye, this is the workplace.

When Ye Xin came out of the office again, she saw that the subordinates in her department were working seriously as usual. There was a layer of unchanged expression on everyone's face, and there was no joy or sorrow, only the constantly blinking eyes telling her how panicked they were at the moment.

At this moment, the blue light screen flickered at a rapidly changing frame rate per second, and this stubble-faced young man from Israel was rapidly typing on the keyboard, capturing a blurry figure.
