Chapter 22: A Casual Destination (3)
Only when there is nothing to do with life and death can people be in the mood to have such a little temper, right?
"Then you can continue to dream your good dreams here, goodbye." Li Xiaoai pretended to turn around and leave.
I subconsciously grabbed her wrist, and it was exactly the same touch as in my dream, and I instinctively felt the electricity pass through my wrist from my fingers and up through the nerves in my arm. It's not the first time we've had skin-to-skin contact, but it's still enough to feel each other's real body temperature.
She froze, and I instantly withdrew my hand, "yes, I'm sorry." ”
Li Xiaoai covered the wrist I had just grabbed with her right hand and rubbed it gently, and her movements when she turned around looked a little cramped, and she was speechless for a while.
"Where is breakfast around here?" I broke the embarrassment.
"Who will make breakfast early in the morning on Chinese New Year's Eve?" Li Xiaoai rolled her eyes at me, continued to cross her waist with one hand, and pointed up with the other hand, "Only when you go up can you have breakfast." ”
"Let's go, then." I smiled and took a step forward to stand shoulder to shoulder with her.
The interior decoration of the superior hotel apartments is more luxurious than that of a five-star hotel, and the security and surveillance are comprehensive. Entering the elevator that is almost completely transparent and suspended in the air, it slowly rises, and the sky and the outline of the whole city gradually intersect and emerge, and the towering palm trees ripple like waves between the streets and buildings, and the terrifying rustle still echoes in the ears.
Maybe it will always be a nightmare for me alone, and no one can share it anymore.
Rustling...
"What's the daze? Get off the elevator. Li Xiaoai urged with a light smile behind my back.
When I entered Li Xiaoai's room, I felt like I was in the air, and the whole room was decorated with light brown wood and dark blue glass, and the lines were like waves. The milky white headlamp hangs in the middle of the atrium nearly four meters high, like a complete full moon, and the soft white light is evenly sprinkled throughout the room, and every corner seems to be covered with white veil.
Li Xiaoai pressed the knob on the wall, and the entire gray-white curtain with a height of four meters gradually opened like a curtain, and the clear and dazzling morning light spilled into the living room of more than 50 square meters from the floor-to-ceiling window through the curtain.
"How did you find me?" I asked.
Li Xiaoai put on his apron, turned his head, raised his wrist and shook the smart watch, squinted and smiled slightly, "The little green dot is not only displayed by you, what do you drink?" Milk or soy milk? ”
"Soy milk, thank you."
In the Western-style open kitchen, Li Xiaoai cuts the toast into slices and takes the eggs out of the refrigerator and prepares them for cooking.
Standing by the window and looking out, I can see the Aikang Park, the office building where the defense shield is located, and even the community I rent. I'm looking at the scenery, but someone is watching Li Xiaoai's every move in the dark?
I unconsciously spun the lighter in my hand.
"Let's have breakfast, no smoking in the room." The crisp sound of Li Xiaoai placing plates on the dining table behind me.
"How do you know I want to smoke?"
"Usually when you stand by the window and think about things for more than five minutes, you habitually pull out a lighter or cigarette case." Li Xiaoai's words were simple and plain.
"It seems that my every move has not escaped you..."Suddenly I felt that this sentence was a little ambiguous to continue, I clicked on the smart watch on my wrist and smiled, "What about location monitoring." ”
Her slightly startled expression also relaxed as the words fell, and she smiled and raised her right hand to hold the scattered green silk behind her ear, but inadvertently the reddened ear still betrayed her vague mood, pursed her lips and smiled, "Few people can eat the breakfast I made myself, in order to show that I was so conscientious last night, please enjoy it." ”
Warm and soft toast, poached eggs charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and a cup of rich soy milk are simple and cozy.
"I rarely eat Western breakfast either, thank you."
"And what do you usually eat for breakfast?" Li Xiaoai asked curiously.
"In the past, when I was in the army, of course, it was steamed buns with pickles, and at home, my mother would occasionally steam corn cakes or flower rolls, which were not so delicate but had a unique flavor."
Li Xiaoai's expression made me puzzled again, she just sat opposite me and listened to me with her hands on her chin with some longing, with a faint smile on her face, "Flower rolls and steamed buns with pickles?" ”
"Well, plus a bowl of porridge." I drank the whole cup of soy milk.
"You'll be responsible for doing it next time." Li Xiaoai said playfully, but after speaking, she seemed to find that her words were mixed with some special meaning, and she immediately blushed slightly and lowered her head and stopped talking.
"Huh?" Suddenly, there seemed to be something in the center of the topic, which was a little intriguing. I smiled lightly and didn't say anything more.
Driving away from the luxury hotel apartment complex where Ms. Li lives, she sits in the back of the car, her phone and laptop working on documents. The strange feeling of last night had long since vanished, and I could not be sure of the truth of that intuition, and certainly did not dare to ignore the vigilance that that intuition brought me.
"Recently, I may be able to take a break and return to Hong Kong to continue my studies." Li Xiaoai said lightly.
"Huh? Why? "I was holding the steering wheel and controlling the speed.
"Soon Aikang will be taken over, maybe it won't be called Aikang in the future." There was a hint of regret in his voice, but it was a gentle ending after all.
"Who's going to take over?"
"Zhuomaclin Pharmaceutical Group."
