"III."

"II."

"One."

The pocket watch snapped down, symbolizing a certain switch, and Qu Zhenzhen opened her eyes in response, with a look of confusion and confusion.

"Is it over?"

As she spoke, there were still crystal tears on her long eyelashes.

——

The fiery red sunset, through the window pane, slanted all over the foot of the bed.

Qu Zhenzhen was eating while looking up at Xie Yaotian next to her. When peeking for the nth time, he met the person's gaze head-on.

"Why do you keep looking at me?" Xie Yaotian frowned and looked at her with gentle eyes.

"......" Qu Zhenzhen shook her head, didn't say anything, and lowered her head to eat. Xie Yaotian hooked his lips and smiled, and put the dishes in the bowl for her.

Qu Zhenzhen lowered her head and took a mouthful of rice and stuffed it into her mouth, Mu Ran paused, quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and looked at him with wide eyes, "What about Xiaobei?!" ”

When she woke up at noon, she hadn't seen anyone, and now it's time to eat, why hasn't she come back yet? And she's so bad she's completely forgotten about it!

Xie Yaotian's pursed lips were lowered, and he replied lightly: "I don't know, it's better to get lost." ”

Qu Zhenzhen stood up suddenly, picked up the coat on the back of the chair, and was about to walk out, "No! He's a little kid, it's dangerous to be out there like this! And it cools down after dark! It's going to be cold! ”

While talking, Qu Hazel went around to the end of the bed and took the little guy's pink kawaii coat.

I didn't know that Xiaobei was a boy before, she asked Xie Yaotian to buy it back, and she hadn't worn it a few times in total.

"Stop."

When passing by Xie Yaotian's side, the man's big palm quickly and steadily clasped her wrist.

Qu Zhenzhen was anxious, and looked at him sideways, "You let go, I'll go and get Xiaobei back!" ”

Xie Yaotian stood up, his long figure was twenty centimeters taller than her, and he leaned down slightly to look at her, "Don't worry, he has parents." ”

As he spoke, he took Xiaobei's clothes from Qu Zhenzhen's hand and threw them on the sofa, then took her coat and carefully buttoned it for her.

"It's really going to cool down at night, so you put on your coat first."

Qu Zhenzhen froze, waited for him to tie the second button between the collar, hurriedly slapped his hand away, and walked out, his tone was slightly angry, "I know you don't like children, but he is still young, I have to go and find him back." ”

Xie Yaotian stood in place, looked at her helplessly, strode after her, and blocked her way with his long arms, "Okay, I won't tease you, the little guy has been picked up by his family." ”

"Picked up? When? ”

Qu Zhenzhen stopped and looked at him with a serious expression.

Xie Yaotian bent his lips and smiled, and his slender fingertips pressed on her frowning brow, "Don't frown, puff up." I don't lie to you, just when Dr. Zhou came, his bodyguard came to pick him up in person. ”

"Bodyguards?"

Qu Zhenzhen tilted her head to avoid his fingers, her cheeks were still a little bulging, but her face was softer than just now.

"What about his parents? Why don't parents pick them up? Send a bodyguard, who knows if it's true? ”

"......" Xie Yaotian was stunned for a second, and in the face of such a stubborn question from the little woman, he felt a little like laughing.

hooked her lips, but she didn't laugh out loud after all, but her fingertips quickly scratched the tip of her nose, "Don't worry, I'll let Lin Hao follow." ”

Lin Hao...... What is Lin Hao for? He doesn't know how to fight, and if he runs into him, he probably won't be able to take care of it......" Qu Hazel turned around and muttered quietly and walked back to the table and sat down.

At the door, Lin Hao, who had just rushed back to report the news, raised his hand and knocked on the door and froze in mid-air.

There was a glimmer of light through the crack in the unclosed door, and his shadow was pulled by the elder.

Xie Yaotian paused, stepped closer, bent his long legs and sat down beside Qu Zhenzhen, listening to his right-hand man being sarcastically ridiculed by his wife like this, he just smiled indifferently, raised his hand and rubbed her head, "What are you worried about?" Lin Hao is also a tall man in how to find him, not to mention that he has sound limbs, how can he not do this thing properly? ”

Hearing his own president speak for himself, Lin Hao stood at the door and nodded with relief and excitement.

Sure enough, it was the president who was 'true love' for him! (Later, if the limbs are sound or something, he has automatically blocked them.) Anyway, the Orthodox thinks it's just praising him. ）

"Hey, your subordinates, of course you sell melons and boast about yourself? If something happens to Xiaobei—"

"OK, I know, if Assistant Lin doesn't handle this matter properly, I will personally punish him."

Assistant Lin, who was standing at the door, trembled suddenly, the smile that was still on his face a second ago froze, and the curvature of the corners of his mouth dissipated little by little.

"Of course, it's not a trivial matter!" Qu Hazel's voice echoed Xie Yao's day. Let's read the book

Lin Hao stood at the door for a while, thought about it, and gently knocked on the door panel with his raised hand.

"Buckle up."

Xie Yaotian glanced at the sound, the door was not closed, and he said in a low voice: "Come in." ”

"President."

Before the person arrived, Lin Hao's resentful voice had already sounded.

Maybe the mournful atmosphere in the voice was too heavy, so heavy that Qu Zhenzhen had to look up, the two looked at each other, and Qu Zhenzhen suddenly felt a little weak.

"Done?" Xie Yaotian didn't look unusual, and asked as usual.

"Well, it's been done, and the young master Xiaobei has arrived home safely." Lin Hao nodded, walked to the two of them tiredly, then took out a piece of paper from his jacket pocket, handed it to Qu Zhenzhen, and said word by word, "This is what the little young master of Xiaobei asked me to pass on to the young lady." ”

Qu Zhenzhen paused slightly, raised her hand to take it, but her eyes didn't dare to look at Lin Hao.

There is something awkward about the picture.

What's more embarrassing than being saying bad things about someone one second and being heard by the person the next?

"Hehehe, thank you."

Qu Hazel laughed dryly twice and opened the crumpled paper.

At the first glance, she burst out laughing.

"What?" Xie Yaotian frowned and looked sideways. Lin Hao, who was on the other side, also leaned over curiously.

"It's over, I've got a grudge." Qu Zhenzhen covered her lips and smiled, and opened the paper generously.

The crooked words written on it are even more eye-catching-sister, you lie to me! Hum!

Lin Hao smiled silently, and Xie Yaotian didn't say anything on his lips.

Qu Zhenzhen covered her mouth and folded the paper little by little, but her mood improved a little because of this note.

Lin Hao noticed the expression in his president's eyes, smiled, and leaned over slightly, "President, I'll leave first if it's okay." ”

"Hmm."

Xie Yaotian nodded lightly, looking at Qu Zhenzhen's eyes gently doting, and did not look at him.

"......" Lin Hao said disdainfully in his heart, wife and slave! Turned around and walked out depressedly.

Halfway through, I heard the low laughter of Qu Zhenzhen and Xie Yaotian behind me, I couldn't control my little nature, turned around, pretended to have a serious expression, looked in the direction of the two, and said very seriously: "President, in fact, even if I am not sound in my limbs, I can handle this matter properly." ”

“…… Belch. Qu Hazel winked awkwardly.

Although it is a very bad thing to say bad things about people behind their backs, and it is a bad thing to say bad things in front of their bosses, but listening to Lin Hao's explanation, it seems that ...... Something is also wrong.

"yes, I see."

Xie Yaotian raised his eyebrows lightly and glanced at Lin Hao, his eyes seemed to say, 'What's the matter, you're still waiting for me to give you an award, aren't you?' ’

How dare Lin Hao, after losing the feeling of being hot, he hurriedly turned around and walked out of the room.

Leaning back against the door panel, the door closed, separated by a barrier, he still couldn't calm his excited heartbeat.

"Flutter——! Your assistant is really talented! ”

Qu Zhenzhen looked in the direction of the door, turned his head and chuckled at Xie Yaotian.

Xie Yaotian lowered his eyes to look at her, with a faint smile in his eyes.

At night, when everything was quiet, Xie Yaotian took care of Qu Zhenzhen to rest, then turned around and walked out of the room lightly.

Qu Hazel, who was originally asleep, quietly opened her eyes a second after the door was closed. Staring at the wall lamp at the head of the bed, I secretly thought about something.

Outside the door, Xie Yaotian was on the phone.

"Hey, it's me, Professor Chen, hello ......"

Time ticked by, the seconds on the wall went round and round, Qu Zhenzhen silently counted, until after the fifth turn, she made up her mind, lifted the quilt, and tiptoed out of bed.

The slippers had time to be put on, and in the dim light, they walked step by step in the direction of the door.

The floor under her feet was a little cold, and Qu Hazel, who was wearing only thin socks, felt a chill jump up from the center of her feet.

Holding her breath, she carefully opened the door a crack.

Through the light in the hallway, she saw the man standing at the window on the phone.
